After leaving Bartterfly Pub, Angor and Dave took a bus to the questing hall together.
As soon as he stepped into the questing hall, he saw Bobota waving at him with a smile before he reached the area where quests were handed in.
"Who's that?" Dave asked curiously.
"Someone who asked me to do a quest," Angor answered without hesitation. "Go ahead. I'll come to you later."
After sending Dave away, Angor approached Bobota.
"Do you want to check it?" Angor took out a space capsule and handed it to Bobota.
Bobota was surprised. "You're done already? Already? "
Bobota was surprised by Angor's speed, but he still needed to check it out. However, there were too many people in the questing hall, so Bobota took Angor to a private room on the second floor just in case.
When they arrived at the guest room, Bobota couldn't wait any longer and crushed the single-use space capsule. The next moment, a long, light blue chain appeared in the air. Out of instinct, Bobota reached out his hand to grab the chain, but he felt a great weight pressing down on his palm.
Bobota quickly pulled back his hand, and the chain fell to the ground with a loud thud. Bobota could faintly see some cracks on the ground. It was obvious how heavy the chains were.
Judging from the current situation, the "weight" he requested was fine.
Bobota tested the "mute" effect again, and it worked just as well.
While Bobota did his experiment, Angor explained the materials used and what he should pay attention to. When Angor was about done, Bobota finished his experiment as well.
"The effect, the weight, and even the appearance are all as good as I wanted. I'm very satisfied. "Bobota held the chain in his hand and showed a look of excitement. With this chain, he had a 90% success rate in whatever he wanted to do.
Bobota was a straightforward person, just like the way he spoke. After making sure that the chain was correct, he immediately paid the rest of the money.
After paying the balance, Angor's bone card now had a hundred thousand merit points.
"Well then, I'll be on my way." Angor was about to leave without wasting any time after receiving the payment.
"Aren't you going to use the teleportation array? I went upstairs with you just now. Many people saw us. "
Angor waved a hand. "My friends are waiting for me outside."
With that, Angor turned around and left without looking back.
Bobota was generous when he paid, but he still felt sad when he looked at his empty account.
But when he thought about the potential benefits the chain could bring, he quickly gave up the last bit of his unwillingness. Still, he felt a little regretful. The chain was important to him and his clansmen's future, so it was best not to let outsiders know about it. Angor's identity prevented him from doing anything for now. Otherwise, things would be perfect.
As Bobota expected, before Angor left the second floor, someone stopped him..
Angor recognized the person who stopped him last time.
"Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Hercules. We've met before." Hercules shook his greasy muscles and stepped in front of Angor.
"What is it?" Angor sighed in his mind and put on a poker face.
Hercules's eyes lit up. "Are you an alchemist? Can I ask you to craft a weapon for me? "
"I'm not free right now." Angor considered for a moment.
He didn't deny that he was an alchemist, and Hercules quickly got the hint. "When are you free?"
"I don't know." Angor walked past Hercules. Hercules didn't try to stop him either, which surprised Angor a little.
He thought Hercules was a tough guy, but he didn't expect the man to be so easy-going.
But this thought only lasted for a moment. When Angor and Dave finished handing over their tasks and were about to leave the questing hall, Hercules showed up again.
"Are you free now?" Hercules was still blinking his bright eyes.
"Nope." Angor shuddered. He really could not stand a muscular man talking to him like a girl trying to act cute.
Again, Hercules didn't stop Angor and let them leave.
About ten minutes later, Hercules showed up again and asked the same question again, "Are you free now?"
"Can't you understand human language? I said I'm not free. Can you stop following me? "
"But you didn't say when you're free," Hercules replied innocently.
"I'm not free today. Stop following me."
"Then tell me where you are. I'll come find you tomorrow," Hercules said in a matter-of-fact manner.
Angor finally understood why Bobota said Hercules was all brawn and no brains. What else could he say when he couldn't understand human language?
Angor sighed. "What kind of weapon do you want? Tell me."
"An axe. A long-handled axe." Hercules described the weapon he wanted. When he finished, he added, "I want the axe to have a burning effect. Can you do that?"
A long-handled axe with fire runes on it. He considered for a moment and decided that it was not a difficult task.
"How much?" Angor didn't want to be bothered by this big guy. He was planning to accept the job for 300 magic crystals. But he didn't expect that …
Hercules scratched his head shyly. "I don't have any magic crystals. Can I pay with my body?"
"Thanks, but no thanks." Angor turned around and left.
Hercules followed them. "I'm good at fighting. Just make me an axe, and I'll make a contract to protect you for a year!"
Angor turned around. "I don't like people following me. Sorry, but I won't accept it no matter how strong you are."
Angor had something else to say. With Toby by his side, he didn't think Hercules could defeat him.
Hercules fell into despair after hearing Angor's words.
Angor was about to leave when he heard Dave asking Hercules, "Can you defeat an Iron Hedgehog?"
Hercules hesitated. "As long as I have a weapon, I should be able to."
Dave's eyes lit up. He turned to Angor and asked, "How about I pay for him, Angor?"
"You want to go to the Moonfrost Passage too?" "Oh, you're going there too?"
The Steel Hedgehog was a low-grade magical beast that lived in the Abyssal Plane. The bloodline of this magical beast had no special effects other than its high defense. Bloodline Adepts would almost never consider incorporating the bloodline of the Steel Hedgehog. However, because of its great defensive ability, which could reduce or even resist explosive damage, many alchemists were willing to use it.
Using the bloodline of an Iron Hedgehog was the same as solidifying an advanced magic barrier. This was very useful for alchemists' research and experiments.
Dave nodded. "If I can use the bloodline of an Iron Hedgehog, it'll help me a lot in my alchemy career."
Angor frowned. "So you're going to become an alchemist?" Bloodlines could be washed away, but there would always be some residue left behind. The bloodline of an Iron Hedgehog was only useful in alchemy.
"Yes," Dave answered without hesitation. "Alchemy is the only thing I can use to prove my worth."
He thought about it and decided that it was not a bad idea to fulfill his friend's wish.
He turned to Hercules and said, "I can make the weapon for you, but you have to sign a contract with Dave and protect him for a year. Also, you have to help him get the bloodline of an Iron Hedgehog. If you agree, I'll start working on it right now. "
Angor's request was a little too much. Although the bloodline of the Iron-armored Hedgehog was a low-level and useless bloodline, it could still be sold for thousands of magical crystals at an auction. Compared to an axe that was worth hundreds of magical crystals, Hercules was indeed at a disadvantage. Still, without Angor's axe, Hercules would not be able to defeat the hedgehog. It was just a matter of time before the chicken hatched an egg.
Hercules was already in despair, but he did not expect a chance to turn the situation around. He nodded without hesitation. "Deal!"
Under the name of the world's consciousness, they signed a contract that would last for a year.
On the same night, Angor and Dave worked together to make the axe Hercules requested.
Since Dave was the one who made the weapon, Angor only charged him 100 magic crystals for the runes engraved on the weapon.
Angor now had nearly 800,000 merit points in his bone card, which was equivalent to 8,000 magic crystals.
As a level-1 apprentice, Angor was the only one who had so many magic crystals. Some wizards did not even have so much liquid capital.
…
There were only three days left until Twilight Well's big auction.
Angor did not have any missions on hand, and he had already learned how to use Melodious Illusion, so he decided to use these two days to craft the music box he had been waiting for. Also, he would pay Lady Mirror a visit.
He already made a detailed plan before he started the process.
The music box he was going to craft had two effects.
First, he could trigger Melodious Illusions through the music scale, which would also trigger the illusion when he played the music. However, there were many things he needed to pay attention to. What kind of illusion would fit the mood of the music? Should the illusion be dynamic or static? How wide should the illusion be?
Second, he needed to engrave a Tranquility Rune on the music box to use gentle music to soothe the restless mind. There were some difficulties in this. For example, Dave once mentioned that "music is noisy by itself. How can you calm your mind?" Angor already experimented and found that playing soothing music did not affect meditation. However, he could not guarantee that his idea would work for everyone.
In the end, he still needed to see how it worked.
But before that, he had to deal with the appearance of the music box first.
