Brendel lined up the eleven daggers that looked like handicrafts, and then used a silver hammer to break the Tree Crystal from the Rotten Beast's body and melt it into the alchemy liquid. Then he turned back and said, "Let's go.
"Tamar, why don't you give it a try?"
"Me?" The middle-aged man standing behind Brando was slightly stunned, but his face showed an eager expression. Although this future Master Alchemist was usually taciturn, he couldn't help but talk loudly when it came to alchemy.
But no matter how much he said, it was not as good as trying it out himself. Although Tamar had the title of an Alchemist in the Parliament of Nobles, he usually only helped to purify some insignificant materials. After all, most of the nobles with a little bit of status had their own Alchemists, and would not easily reveal their secrets.
Thus, it was Tamar's first time refining a magic item with his own hands. Thus, when he looked at the eleven daggers, he could not help but gulp for a moment.
Brando smiled and nodded. Tamar's Alchemy skills had improved very quickly. When they first met, Brendel guessed that he should be a Level-3 Alchemist based on his actual ability and experience. Now, he estimated that Tamar was about to reach Level-5.
At this speed, it would not be long before this future Master Alchemist surpassed him and entered the ranks of professional Alchemists. This made Brando sigh at the power of talent.
Of course, this was also due to the large amount of practice in purifying the Evening Primrose, Fluorescent Moss, and Black Mage. Brando's own Alchemy skills were locked at Level-5 because of his identity as a commoner, so he simply gave all the practice opportunities to this future Master Alchemist, which led to Tamar's rapid improvement in the past month.
But this Master Alchemist seemed to be unaware of his own talent, so when Brando expressed his intention to recruit him, Tamar gladly agreed out of gratitude for saving his life and recognizing his talent. He even took the initiative to reduce the commission by a large amount. Brando had originally proposed 30,000 years of annuity, but this future Master Alchemist only wanted a symbolic sixth of it.
Hiring a Master Alchemist with five thousand years' worth of annuity, even a retainer would cost more than that. However, Brando wasn't worried. After all, aristocratic alchemists were very private. Generally, they wouldn't break the contract. Besides, he believed that he could afford to keep Tamar in the future.
Because no one knew better than him how far this alchemy master could go.
"Okay, I'll try." The middle-aged man only thought for a moment and immediately agreed.
Brando smiled. What he admired was the other party's confidence in his field of expertise.
When the alchemy lab quieted down, the young man casually picked up a history book from the bookshelf and started reading it. His knowledge of nobility and heraldry had reached level 6, and his Scholar level had reached level 11.
Other than leveling up his Military Swordsmanship to level (6 + 1), First Aid to level 4, and White Raven Swordsmanship to level 2, he also learned Weapon Mastery (Mercenary), Crossbow Mastery (Mercenary), Camouflage and Tree Resilience.
Weapon Mastery was a skill exclusive to both mercenaries and warriors. It was also the core skill of a mercenary. It was only level 1, and the core introduction was only one sentence: A character with this skill would have learned all military and simple weapons, even if they had never done any training before.
To put it bluntly, Weapon Mastery saved a lot of skill experience, and it was also suitable for a mercenary's role in the battlefield. If a character wanted to be proficient in all weapons, how much skill experience would be wasted if they didn't learn Weapon Mastery? In the end, it was about twelve to thirteen thousand. This was a huge investment even in the later stages of the game.
Therefore, many of the other professions in the game were mercenaries and warriors. Most of the time, they were doing it for this skill. But in other words, other than warriors and mercenaries, there were very few professions that would use that many weapons.
Crossbow Mastery was an in-depth training for crossbows. Different professions often had different weapon mastery, but mercenaries had almost all weapon mastery skills except for wands, scepters, and wands. In this aspect, he was even one step ahead of warriors. After all, mercenaries were synonymous with being versatile. He could even practice magic, but the result of being proficient in everything was that he was proficient in nothing. This was also the biggest flaw of the mercenary profession.
Concealment came from Nightingale and other professions that were often active in the dark, and Tree Resilience came from Druid. This was an active self-protection skill, and also one of the most practical non-core skills of Druid (*). It could convert mana for a period of time, turning the whole body's skin into a tree trunk. Every level increased natural defense by 50%.
This skill was very practical when paired with a large number of natural defense amulets. It was also one of the most commonly used battle structures in the later stages of the game by Brando.
Of course, the main reason was that these two skills were clearly marked in Braggs's Royal Geographical Society (*). The young man naturally wouldn't let them go. There weren't many opportunities to learn cross-profession skills, not to mention this kind of skill that didn't require him to do any missions.
Of course, after learning these skills one by one, the hundreds of skill experience points that he had painstakingly squeezed out from the Scholar profession were all used up. In fact, Brando also knew that the skill experience points in the game were originally a means of compensation. The game required players to level up their skills through practice and usage. But Brando didn't have the time to do so.
Thinking back to the battle in the Valley of Sharp Stones, his swordsmanship was only about 6 + 2.
But Brando had only flipped a few pages of the book in his hand when Tamar's alchemy was completed. The future Master Alchemist excitedly took out a dagger and said as if he was a child showing off his toy.
"My lord, it's done!"
"So fast?" Brando secretly looked at the time. The hourglass had only dropped a third. "No waste?"
"No." Tamar shook his head confidently.
Brando couldn't help but be amazed. Tamar's first attempt at making a magic item didn't have any waste. This was not something that ordinary people could do. He remembered that his failure rate in the game was as high as 46% before he made 100 alchemy attempts, and that was considered to be one of the better ones among the newbies.
He sighed and took a look at the dagger. At the same time, he opened the attribute panel. These little things were bought from the blacksmith's workshop. They dealt 1-2 damage, but this time, there was a (1-1 poison) suffix behind it. The name of the dagger was also changed to 'Tree Essence Poisoned Dagger'.
The tag was' Black Iron '.
Brando put the dagger back on the iron plate. He thought for a while. This little thing could probably be sold for 2000 Tor per dagger. After all, most of his customers were low-level nobles or rogues. The nobles had their own personal alchemists, and they looked down on these little things.
Twenty thousand Tor was still a little far from the amount he promised the little Roman.
But the young man did not panic. He took out the high-quality tree crystal from the Golden Demonic Tree and a dwarven dagger that Batom bought.
"The next one is a little more troublesome. Let's do it together, Tamar," he said.
"Together?" Tamar was a little surprised. Most alchemists completed their missions alone, but at most, they would work together with wizards. He had never heard of two alchemists working together without interfering with each other's magic waves.
But Brando did not have this concern. He used a piece of chalk to draw a circle on the ground and then added numbers and runes around the circle. Tamar's eyes were filled with surprise. He saw that the numbers were the coordinates of the constellations used by the wizards.
Then Brando raised his head and pointed at the second section of the circle. "Come here."
Tamar looked at the completed circle on the ground and was shocked beyond belief. He was stunned for a while and blurted out, "My lord, is this the Ritual of the Ring?"
"Ritual of the Ring?"
"I heard that only the wizards of Buga knew this secret technique. The great wizards who stood on the main planet could use the power of many people to complete spells or alchemy. My lord, this is …?"
"More or less, this is a simplified version of sixteen people. When I have the chance, I'll draw a complete circle of thirty-two and sixty-four people for you to see." Brando nodded. What was inconceivable in Tamar's eyes was a skill that every player in his world must master.
The middle-aged man's eyes immediately lit up with fanaticism. The future Master Alchemist nodded his head and stood in the middle of the Magic Circle with an eager look, as if he was even more eager than Brendel to witness the power of the Magic Circle.
Brando smiled and picked up the short sword. The short sword of the dwarves was made into a beautiful long pointed trapezoid according to the aesthetic style of the people of the mountains. The surface of the sword was infused with the magic of the rocks. The young man put his finger on it and sensed that it was a spell similar to the Rocky Edge. But fortunately, the magic of the earth and the magic of nature did not conflict, so it did not affect his next work.
So he picked up a fine gold chisel and made a hole in the short sword.
"Ouch." Batom finally could not help but yell at the door.
"What the hell are you yelling for, Batom?" Brendel's hand almost trembled from the shock. If it was not for the fact that he was skilled in martial arts, the sword that added 1500 Tor would have been scrapped.
At this time, Brando did not have the money to buy another one.
The red-bearded mercenary knew that he almost got into trouble, so he did not answer. However, his heart was bleeding. Ordinary craftsmen would be heartbroken if they saw this knight destroying the work of the dwarven ironsmith, right? Unfortunately, Brando did not have this awareness. He picked up the chisel and hammered it again.
This time, Batom's heart was pounding.
But Brando ignored him. He picked up the sword, inserted the crystal of the Golden Demonic Tree into the hole, and then nodded to Tamar. The two began to draw runes on the two sides of the short sword. About half an hour later, a brand new magic weapon appeared in front of the three of them.
Brando picked up the pointed sword. The golden earth runes and the green nature runes reflected each other. But more importantly, its attribute was changed to 3-4 attack (3-3 poison).
This meant that the lethality of this sword was comparable to the Thorn of Light. Of course, other than the fact that it was not as sharp, there was also the fact that it did not have any additional magic attribute.
But just this sword alone was enough to be labeled as a Brass grade weapon. It would not be a problem to sell it for 100,000 in the underground black market. Because no matter if it was a noble, an adventurer, or a mercenary, they would not mind having a good sword.
Even some Knight who was not bound by the rules of the world would not be an exception.
Brendel looked at the sword and wiped the sweat off his forehead. This was the first time in this world that he had crafted a magic equipment that was above 15 (OZ). Fourteen layers of runes almost made him collapse, but the rewards were still plentiful. Not to mention that the sword was perfect beyond his imagination, he even felt that his alchemy skills were showing signs of a breakthrough.
Brando was almost certain that once he obtained the identity of a noble Knight, his alchemy skills would immediately break through the current level and reach (5 + 1).
He looked up at Tamar and saw that this future Master Alchemist still had an unsatisfied look on his face. Tamar's eyes were shining as he said, "My lord, I think I have figured out some things. If there are no accidents, it is only a matter of time before I master a higher level of runes and magic circles — "
A professional alchemist.
Brando was overjoyed. It seemed that he would have to add a professional alchemist to his team. For non-players, level 5 was a bottleneck. Once they broke through level 5, they would be able to reach level 10 in alchemy. Once they reached level 10, they would be able to create Dragon Slaying Arrows (40 OZ).
This was good news.

Seeing that she was reading my book while scolding me, I couldn't help but feel sad. Could it be that she was the legendary M, a natural bottom? Her Buddhist name was Not Masochistic, Not Comfortable Skivvir.
