Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 498: True Fragrance (2/4)
Facts have proved that the Alchemy Association doesn't mind assessing a young alchemist introduced by the Ellen family today, who is also favored by Master Goser, who is now in the limelight in the association.
The Royal Alchemy Association located in the fourth floor has a very old history. Fortunately, it was not damaged in the dark moon turmoil, so it has become one of the ten oldest buildings in the imperial capital. It is not like stargazing on a lonely mountain The tower is so majestic and majestic, even a little narrow.
The corridors that can only accommodate three people walking side by side, the passageways with a height of about 2.4 meters, and each one are too delicate, so it can be seen that this is an architectural design to maximize the use of space.
Everything is the epitome of the architectural style of the ancient Setar city-state era seven hundred years ago.
In that era, the imperial capital had not been fully developed and rebuilt, and there were even many wild labyrinth monsters running rampant in the various layers—yes, the imperial capital at that time had just been transformed from a maze into a human city. In ancient times, the Setar people built their own homes while expelling monsters.
The orange lights carried a hint of warmth. As a person participating in the assessment, Ian bid farewell to Isengard temporarily, and followed a middle-aged alchemist to his own separate examination room.
"This assessment lasts for seven days, and each day is limited to a hundred people to participate. Today is the sixth day."
The alchemist knew Isengard, so he was also quite attentive to Ian who was brought by the blond boy. Now he is answering Ian's question: "You mean the reward for the ranking? If it is someone else, I will Tempt them well and urge them to exert their full strength."
"But if it's a friend of the Ellen family, then I'll tell you the truth—it's nothing more than a few rare alchemy equipment and some rare alchemy materials... Maybe there are some favors from the masters? But for you For me, these are probably not very attractive, you just need to perform normally, and you will probably be able to get an excellent."
When the middle-aged alchemist talked about these rewards, he couldn't hide his envious expression.
Obviously, for an ordinary alchemist, the fact that they can get so many good things just by the assessment ranking is completely worth the effort to show their highest level... After all, this assessment material does not need to be obtained by yourself. Spending money is really a rare opportunity to go whoring for nothing.
But for Ian, all this is indeed a bit ordinary.
"Not a very attractive reward."
Ian thought so. It seems that Isengarde gave him a full set of rare edition alchemy equipment, and the combined value is probably more than the sum of the one to three prizes awarded by the Alchemy Association for this assessment.
Since this is the case, then there is no need to be too showy... just about it.
"Other than that."
The middle-aged alchemist was still recalling, and he said with some uncertainty: "It seems that there is a reading card that allows you to go to the Royal Great Library... It is mainly a certificate of glory. After all, it is not a library card, just It proves that the holder has enough qualifications to go to the highest hall of knowledge. If the opportunity catches up, maybe the treasure book area can also be seen!"
"It's all about honor rather than actual significance."
"Very good."
Ian nodded slightly, and he made up his mind: "I've decided on the first place."
Read? For him, what is the difference between reading and permanent lending? Others don't care, he can't miss it!
Although Master Gesai's business card can be read, it cannot enter the rare book area. The two are superimposed. Maybe he can stay in the rare book area for a while?
Moreover, maybe he can also take a look at the entrustment of the Dragon Worship Cult... the Book of Silver Brilliance and the collection room of rare rare copies... Although he should not be able to get close, but with the help of his psychic perspective and silver chip, It can be regarded as being able to explain to Elder Manya.
The assessment is divided into time batches, with 20 candidates each time, and the time limit is one hour.
Ian was postponed to the fifth batch, which happened to be the last class in the afternoon. The other alchemists were entering their closed examination rooms, and they could still vaguely hear their conversations.
"The last show in the afternoon, the materials used are not bad, right?"
"How can the association be so poor, don't scare yourself, play well."
"This time almost all the qualified alchemists around the plain have come, and the competition is quite fierce."
"But those who are really good will not come to participate in the test. They are all young people like us... Generally speaking, it is also an opportunity to prove yourself. If you can get the ranking, you will go to the big workshop to find a job in the future It's also convenient."
Several people said goodbye while saying goodbye, and entered the examination room separately. Ian saw that there was a complete set of alchemy equipment in the room. Although it was just an ordinary standard equipment, it was very complete.
The Alchemy Association really took a lot of effort to suppress the storm of a master alchemist being deprived of his title.
Ian also entered a spare assessment room. Although the competition this time was fierce in theory, in fact most people didn't think they could get the top few, so the atmosphere between them was relatively harmonious .
Enter the compartment. This is a small room with a total size of no more than fifteen square meters. with other instruments.
The materials have not been delivered yet, and the exam questions are naturally the same. Looking at these equipment, Ian can't help but miss his workshop in Port Harrison... I still have a lot of experimental materials and notes there. .
He looked around and observed the same group of alchemists who had been tested by him with the vision of vision.
Most of them are in their twenties or thirties, and they should have already worked in some workshops. None of them are 'apprentices'... Also, they don't need to come to the imperial capital at all for the formal alchemist assessment. Graduates can directly advance to the formal level, and only the formal to the elite need to go to a big city for a formal assessment,
Like me, there are probably not many people who go directly from trainees to elites.
Ian will not be blindly arrogant, thinking that his alchemy level is far superior to these ordinary-looking experienced alchemists, he will definitely do his best to communicate with these imperial circles, and perhaps represent Seta The new generation of alchemists from the younger generation of the Er Empire competes!
"Silver chip, ready to deduce!"
That being said, in order to obtain a reading card from the Great Royal Library, Ian will not shy away from using any means.
The silver chip and the prophet are also his power, use it as needed, all this is his hard work and struggle!
Soon, materials and exam questions came.
At the same time.
On the second floor, in a medium-sized conference hall, a total of eight alchemists sat in their seats, led by two old men wearing gold-rimmed alchemist robes, observing every move of the candidates on the twenty-one screens around them.
After seeing Ian, two people moved slightly and reported to the higher authorities.
"Huh? The guy that Gesai is optimistic about is also here?"
The gray-haired old man raised his eyes to look at the light curtain, his eyes were much younger than his appearance, shining with a golden-orange wise light: "Ha, let me see... this is too young, I listen to him It seems that you must be at least seventeen or eighteen years old, isn't this a child."
"That idiot Bawar did it, did he see it?"
Another old woman with black and white hair and a serious expression narrowed her eyes, her purple eyes flickered for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "Although I am annoyed that Bawar is getting old, He still does dirty work for money, but his inscriptions and alchemy are very well combined, and Gesai won't be able to see it at all unless he checks carefully."
"As a result, the dark hand in the bracelet was spotted by this kid—if it's psychic power, how strong is his observation psychic power?"
