Main Text Volume Section 1364 Classic Topics
This was Leon's first time in a wizard city, and he was full of curiosity about the shops opened by the extraordinary.
So, when he followed Angel walking on the Magic Material Street, he kept observing the shops along the street.
One of the shops caught his attention.
This is a large iron house with a unique appearance, with two symmetrical chimneys on the roof, like two ears. The sign of this shop is also very interesting, with the outline of a cat's ear in the front.
At first glance, it's quite cute.
"Long-eared Bloodline Trial Field?" Leon looked at the words on the sign.
These phrases can be understood separately, but when they are combined together, it's a bit confusing.
What exactly does this shop do?
At this time, Leon suddenly heard a hoarse and low voice coming from his side. Looking back, it was Nausicaa who was saying to him: "Leon, is it okay to call you Leon?"
Leon nodded.
"Are you interested in this shop?" Nausicaa looked at the uniquely shaped "Long-eared Bloodline Trial Field".
"I saw the word bloodline on it, so I was a little curious." Leon said.
"This shop is specially designed for people with ear-altered bloodline, and provides special training." Nausicaa looked Leon up and down: "You haven't integrated the bloodline yet, so you can't enter this shop. Even if you integrate the bloodline, you may not be able to enter."
Nausicaa's words were somewhat contradictory.
When Leon was confused, Angel pointed to the bulletin board on the other side of the shop, and Leon found that there were a few clear words written on it: This shop only serves people with long-eared bloodline.
"This is the rule of Mangshi Magic Material Street." Angel said: "Many shops here, if you don't meet certain standards, you don't even have the qualifications to enter."
Sure enough, Leon followed Angel down and found that more than half of the shops had hard conditions for entering the shops.
"Only wizards can enter", "No male form is allowed to enter", "Magic Pattern Warlocks can enter"...
It was simply a naked discrimination at the door of the shop.
The most important thing is that Leon found that as long as there were hard conditions, he basically didn't meet any of them.
In addition to these hard conditions, there are also some ideological conditions.
For example, Leon saw an alchemy shop with a few lines of big words written in unknown scarlet blood at the door: "All those who agree with the Centesus School, do not enter my store, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
The Centesus School is the mainstream school in biological alchemy.
Of course, even if you agree with the Centesus School in your heart, as long as you don't show it, it's okay. Anyway, the conditions of this ideology depend on free conviction.
When they walked to the middle of Mangshi Magic Material Street, Angel pointed to the magic material shop next to it: "I'm going in to buy some materials, you wait for me."
If it were in the past, Leon would definitely be ready to go in with them, but after seeing the strange requirements in various shops along the way, Leon also learned to look at the door prompts first.
"Nail Alchemy House." Leon first glanced at the name of the store, then turned his eyes and found that there were no restrictions at the door. "Could it be that this store does not require any entry requirements?"
When Leon was puzzled, he saw Angel came to the front door and talked to a human-shaped fragrant wood puppet.
As for the content of their conversation, Leon was confused and only knew that they were talking about some "enchantment".
After a while, the fragrant wood puppet bowed to Angel, then pointed to the store and said: "Guest, you passed the test, please come in."
So this is a test? Leon thought to himself.
At this time, Nausicaa explained to him the scene in front of him. It turned out that if you want to enter this alchemy house, you must first pass a few test questions about alchemy knowledge. Otherwise, you can only be rejected.
"Isn't this a store that sells alchemy magic materials? Not only alchemists can use magic materials, right?" Leon was a little confused. If you must be an alchemist to go in and buy magic materials, this seems a bit too harsh.
"If you are not an alchemist, you can tell the puppet what you want to buy, and it will let someone else bring it out." Nausicaa paused, "But you can't go in."
"Why?"
"Because this kind of alchemy house actually has another function, which is to provide a space for some alchemists to communicate. I heard that this nail alchemy house has many alchemy apprentices communicating in it." Nausicaa said: "There are many stores similar to alchemy houses, and they are basically like this."
"I seem to understand a little bit, but do I have to do this test every time I go in?" Leon frowned. If I do the test every time, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Nausicaa patiently explained: "If you have an ID card of Sky Mechanical City, including the ID card of Sky Tower, you will not be required to take this test next time as long as you register after entering once."
"I see, Angel didn't show his ID card before, doesn't he have one?"
Nausicaa laughed at this question: "Of course he has an ID card, but he doesn't want to use it. I can't answer the specific situation, why don't you wait for him to come out and ask yourself?"
...
Angel didn't know that he was in danger of revealing his identity in front of his brother Leon.
After passing the test of the fragrant wood puppet, he walked into the nail alchemy room.
Of course, he also knew that he could directly tell the fragrant wood puppet what materials he wanted to buy without testing, and let it check the inventory. However, as an alchemist, he naturally hopes to see the magic materials with his own eyes; and, for many precious magic materials, if you don't discuss them with the shopkeeper in person, the other party may not sell them to you.
As soon as Angel entered the alchemy room, he was stopped by a short and fat female apprentice.
"I haven't seen you before. Are you from outside?" Although the female apprentice is a little fat, her exposed skin is white and smooth, and her face has a baby face, so she doesn't look annoying. : "I don't mean to question you about your origins. I just heard the conversation between you and Neha. It seems that you are taking the path of enchantment?"
Neha is the fragrant wood puppet outside. The test that Angel entered was based on the field in which he was good at. Naturally, Neha's test was all about enchantment.
"I recently arrived at Sky Mechanical City, and it is indeed the enchanting route." After Angel finished speaking, he prepared to avoid her.
"My name is Boli. I don't mean any harm. In fact, I am also an alchemist apprentice who practices enchantment." After a pause, Boli said the main reason why he stopped Angel: "Now, there is a debate going on over there. , is about the debate between enchantment and attunement, do you want to participate?”
Angel looked over and saw a fierce argument between the two groups.
Angel thought that the people arguing on such a high-level debate must be at least the level of alchemists, but it turned out that they were all alchemist apprentices.
Among them, there are very few people who stand on the side of enchantment, and the harmonious school is mercilessly crushing three or two kittens with an overwhelming number of people.
However, even so, the alchemy apprentices of the enchantment school did not surrender.
Angel also heard his own name among the faint sounds coming from their side.
It is estimated that they use themselves as examples to make arguments.
Angel touched the bridge of his nose. This feeling... was quite subtle.
Probably because there were too few people in the enchantment school, Hakurei overheard the conversation between Angel and Neha, and regardless of who Angel was, she wanted to drag him into the debate.
"Is that okay?" Boli saw that Angel didn't respond for a long time, and then said: "Maybe you are not used to this kind of debate. In fact, we are all like this in Sky Mechanical City. Only by thinking can we make progress. "
What Bo Li said actually made sense, but Angel still refused ruthlessly: "No, I still have something to do."
Enchantment and attunement are classic debates in epigraphy. But it is also a difficult debate. The only answer is that the upper limit of reconciliation is extremely high, and enchantment is easier.
Even the master alchemist can't argue with this kind of classic argument, let alone this group of alchemist apprentices.
Boli was a little disappointed. She originally wanted to dissuade him, but at this moment, a tall man with a very handsome face stepped forward: "Enchanting itself is a side street. No matter how many people you try to attract, it will be useless."
As he spoke, the man looked Angel up and down.
Greasy and sloppy clothes, and an unkempt face. Angel's appearance made the man frown, and disgust flashed in his eyes.
Boli: "You said that the upper limit of reconciliation is high, so let me ask you, is the upper limit of the mysterious field considered high? But you can give me an example. In the past thousand years, in our Southern Wizarding World, have any reconciliation schools come into contact with the mysterious field? No. Right."
"I know you are talking about Angel again, he is just an exception."
"Is there an exception for reconciliation?"
Listening to the two people behind him arguing about himself in front of him, Angel couldn't help but frown.
Speaking of which, he actually didn't think the argument between these two people was correct. Because the speculation on this kind of classic topic requires a high-level collision of thinking, an elaboration of the density of knowledge, a discussion of technology, and the interaction of classic cases. As a result, they pulled this topic from the altar and put it in the vegetable market. debate at a high level.
Angel could also see that the man disliked him, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, because the other person didn't say anything harsh, and he wasn't a stupid young man who had to prove himself just because the other person looked down on him.
He was now glad that he had rejected Hakurei. It would have been a nightmare if he had gone out of his mind to argue such a topic with them.
Angel ignored the argument behind him and walked quickly to the counter not far away.
The man watched Angel leave quickly, the disdain in his eyes was even greater, and he couldn't help but snort in his nose.
Boli was also a little emotional. Originally, this foreign alchemy apprentice could take this opportunity to enter the enchanting alchemy circle of Sky Machinery City, but he rejected his invitation.
"If you miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to integrate into the circle again." Boli shook his head, with a look of disappointment on his face.
