"But you are only showing me some images, and they are so blurry. I can see that the compass was made using Reyes's alchemy method, and that's already pretty good. What else do you want me to see?" Southgate spread his hands towards Bisping and angrily said, "But you are showing me some images, and they are so blurry.
Although Southgate's personality was a bit strange and he was a bit arrogant, he wasn't an idiot. He seemed to have noticed something strange from Bisping's reaction and thoughtfully looked at him.
After a few seconds, Southgate took a deep look at Bisping in front of him. Then he didn't hide anything and directly asked Bisping, "Bisping! You've been by Reyes's side for quite some time now. Did you discover something? "
After saying that, Southgate's gaze under his black-rimmed glasses immediately locked onto Bisping. He didn't relax for a second, as if he wanted to see something from Bisping's expression.
Under Southgate's gaze, Bisping sunk into silence. Southgate couldn't help but want to ask more questions, but Bisping slowly said, "I feel that this compass wasn't refined by Professor, but by Connor!"
"Connor? Connor Ferguson, Reyes's student? That hereditary Earl of the Ferguson Family? " Hearing Bisping say that name, Southgate was surprised at first, but he quickly reacted and asked Bisping, "That's right.
Bisping faintly nodded at Southgate's question, indicating that Southgate was right.
"No way, right? Didn't that Connor Ferguson say that although he is Reyes' student in name, isn't that guy just a chess piece of Reyes? How could Reyes give him the core technique of his alchemy method? " Despite receiving Bisping's affirmation, Southgate still had a look of disbelief on his face.
As a Great Alchemist, Southgate clearly understood that the things displayed on the compass already involved the core technique of Reyes' alchemy method. Its value could only be described as immeasurable. Even as a Great Alchemist, he was quite tempted. Thus, Southgate found it hard to believe that Reyes would be reassured enough to give such an important thing to a chess piece like Connor Ferguson.
"Who did you hear this from?" Hearing Southgate's words, Bisping couldn't help but frown and ask in a deep voice, "Who did you hear this from?
Although Bisping's question was very serious, Southgate clearly didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Bisping, you don't need to know who told me this. Isn't it obvious? Who is Reyes? Are you the one who doesn't know, or am I? When has he ever taken in a student in all these years?
"That old fogey Viktor followed Reyes for so many years, only to be killed by this Connor Ferguson. Reyes tolerated Connor to live until now, so there's clearly a problem. Apart from Reyes having some ulterior motives towards Connor, I really can't think of anything else!" Southgate's tone was firm and resolute.
After Southgate said this, Bisping shook his head at him and said, "I don't know if you're thinking these words yourself or if you heard them from someone else, but I advise you to keep them to yourself and not let Sir Professor hear them. Otherwise, Southgate, you should know what Sir Professor is capable of!"
Seeing that Bisping seemed to be implying something, Southgate's interest was immediately piqued. He hesitated for a moment before suddenly saying, "If I remember correctly, Bisping, you have six Alans gems and have always wanted to find someone to help you refine the Eye of Alans into a magic artifact …"
Bisping immediately understood what Southgate meant and couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, after considering it for a while, he still shook his head at Southgate and said, "Southgate, you don't have to do this. I don't know much either!"
Although Bisping's words seemed to be a rejection, Southgate understood the other meaning and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Wasn't he implying that he knew what Bisping wanted to know, and if Bisping wanted to know from him, he would have to increase the price?
With an answer in his heart, Southgate pointed a finger at Bisping and said calmly, "I agree to help you refine it. As for the reward, I'll ask for one less Alans gem!"
Even though Southgate only asked for one less Alans gem, Bisping's eyes still revealed a hint of excitement.
According to the rules of the alchemy world, if one wanted to find an alchemist to refine a magic artifact, they had to prepare at least two sets of materials. One set was needed to refine the magic artifact, and the other was the alchemist's reward. Not only that, but due to the uncertainty of refining a magic artifact, if the refinement failed, the alchemist wouldn't compensate for the materials.
This rule was harsh and tyrannical. Every year, there would be many cases of failed attempts at crafting alchemists. However, due to the demand for magical artifacts, most adepts could only grit their teeth and accept it. They still scrambled to find alchemists to craft magical artifacts for them.
Although the Eye of Alans was only a grade 2 magic artifact, it was very compatible with Bisping's meditation technique, so it was very important to Bisping. Bisping had thought of many ways to gather six of the main materials for refining the Eye of Alans — Alans gems.
However, because the Eye of Alans was a magic artifact, it had extremely high requirements for the alchemist's skills. Ordinary alchemists had a very high risk of failure when refining this magic artifact, and they might not succeed even once in five attempts!
As for the magic artifact, the Eye of Alans, the other materials needed weren't that hard to find. However, as the main material, the Eye of Alans, Bisping had to spend a lot of effort to find six of them, and six of them were only enough to refine the Eye of Alans twice. After refining it once, he had to pay the alchemist once, and there was nothing else.
Therefore, if the alchemist didn't succeed in refining it once, Bisping could only cry without tears. Thus, all these years, Bisping hadn't been able to find a suitable refiner to help him refine the Eye of Alans, a grade 2 magic artifact that he had been eyeing for a long time. He could only hide the six Alans gems and some other supplementary materials in his spatial ring, silently waiting for an opportunity.
As for Southgate, even if his personality was a bit strange, his ability as a Great Alchemist couldn't be faked!
