Chapter 75 The Space Ring, Emily's Change
Chapter 75 The Space Ring, Emily's Change
"A spatial ring!"
Ian's eyes lit up.
The last item was a space-type alchemy item that he had longed for but never possessed.
The space is not large, only about one cubic meter.
But that's enough.
After all, storage rings are mainly used to store valuable resources, items, and spellcasting materials.
"Lord Ed, I'll choose these three. How many magic stones will they cost?"
Ian told Ed about his decision.
After all, while magical artifacts are desirable, if the price is too high, then some of them must be discarded.
Ed glanced at it and said:
"The three items you chose are all of high quality. The Echo Staff was originally intended to be made into a high-level magical artifact, but the amount of Echo Crystal was a bit too small."
The Guardian Robe provides enough defense to withstand a medium-level spell at the zero-ring level, not to mention the Space Ring.
Therefore, the Echoing Staff costs 200 magic stones, the Guardian Robe costs 300 magic stones, and the final spatial ring costs 500 magic stones.
"A total of one thousand magic stones, five hundred magic stones remain."
So expensive!
Ian was somewhat surprised.
Hyde, who was standing nearby, coughed and said, "Ed, don't use official prices for private sales."
Ed glanced at Hyde before sighing and saying, "How about a 30% discount? Seven hundred magic stones."
Hyde nodded this time.
"Thank you, sir. I'll take all three pieces then!"
Seeing Hyde's expression, Ian immediately agreed.
He didn't know much about witchcraft artifacts, but he understood that this price was not high, and even low, for a high-quality mid-grade witchcraft artifact.
That's already a very good price.
He believed that if he were alone, he would never have been able to get that price.
"That means there are 800 magic stones left. I'll have someone fetch them for you."
Ed took the three magical artifacts off his shoulder and handed them to Ian.
"Thank you, Minister Hyde! Thank you, Minister Ed!"
Ian first thanked Hyde, then turned to look at Ed.
The training program may be important, but it's nothing compared to the two ministers.
This was simply their mutual goodwill.
Of course, we should express our gratitude.
"sensible!"
Ed saw that Ian actually thanked him, and suddenly he found him much more agreeable, saying:
"Next, I'll be showing your department around with your minister. If you're interested, you can take a look."
"May I?"
Ian's eyes lit up.
Furthermore, Ian was quite curious about alchemy, after all, he might learn it one day for the sake of talent points.
And such opportunities are rare.
"sure."
Hyde, standing to the side, smiled broadly. Ed was such a stubborn and unpleasant old man, it was rare that Ian could actually suit his taste.
"Thank you, Minister!"
Ian thanked him again.
......
Leave the warehouse.
The two conducted an inspection.
Ian followed behind, listening to their conversation while also observing the Alchemy Department.
In stark contrast to the tranquil and meticulous environment of the Potions Department, the Alchemy Department was more like a large and bustling workshop.
The air was filled with the scorching heat of molten metal and the smell of various strange mineral powders.
Ian followed the two through one laboratory after another.
We have gained a lot.
I entered another laboratory.
Ian instantly spotted a familiar figure.
Not far away, Emily, dressed in a dark green wizard's robe, stood before a burning furnace, constantly adding things into it.
The temperature is very high.
Even the intermediate alchemist standing nearby seemed to have a bead of sweat on his face, let alone Emily.
Sweat soaked the wizard's robes, and deep fatigue lingered in his eyes.
Ian was also somewhat surprised.
Emily was always so optimistic whenever we met at the support group meeting, but I never expected her to be in such a bad state.
There are many alchemy labs, but these are some of the most arduous he's worked his way up.
"What's wrong? Do you know him?"
Hyde, who was standing nearby, noticed the change in Ian's expression and a gossip gleamed in his eyes.
"A very good friend."
Ian said.
"Do you need me to adjust her job position for you?" Ed turned around and offered.
This was a small matter for him.
"Thank you for your help, Minister Ed."
Ian thanked him.
"It's nothing."
Ed waved his hand and gave the order to the servant beside him to do it!
Then the group left without going inside.
However, it still attracted the attention of some people.
Emily also turned her head.
She recognized Ed.
There was another figure in front of Ed, who seemed to be of a higher status than Ed, and there was also a somewhat familiar figure beside him.
"Like Ian?"
Emily had some questions.
She had naturally heard about Ian's advancement to the training sequence and wanted to congratulate him.
But I can't get leave at all!
But she never expected to see Ian in the department.
He was even talking with the minister!
Or did she see it wrong?
Just then, the usually aloof alchemist slowly walked over, a smile on his face:
"Congratulations, Emily! The academy thinks you have good talent, so you've been transferred to another laboratory. You can start trying to forge basic magical artifacts!"
"what?"
Emily was stunned for a moment.
She's quite talented?
She knew her situation all too well, and besides, she had been familiarizing herself with the process, so how could she suddenly be able to attempt the crafting of magical artifacts?
So that really is.....
"Ian..."
Emily pursed her lips, and a faint mist rose in the corners of her eyes.
The other apprentices nearby immediately murmured with envy, while the lab director inquired about her connections...
It might be just a sentence for Ian, but for her, it was enough to completely change her current situation.
......
the other side.
After the inspection, Ian's magic stone was also delivered.
"Eight mid-grade magic stones, each priced at one hundred low-grade magic stones, their current market value sometimes even exceeds that."
Ed handed the eight magic stones to Ian.
Ian looked down and saw that the magic stone in front of him was like black crystal, much deeper than the magic stones he had seen before.
"Thank you, sir."
Ian put it away.
"Let's go."
Hyde also said that he had accomplished the main purpose of his trip: to gain a clearer understanding of the current state of the Alchemy Department.
Get into the carriage.
Ian then handed a magic stone to Hyde.
"Thank you for your help, Lord Hyde. A mid-grade magic stone may not be much, but for..." Ian said gratefully.
"Okay, I'll accept it."
Hyde was also quite surprised, but he accepted the magic stone with a smile.
Ian, that kid, is definitely on the right track.
"If you encounter any problems within the department, you can send me a message, but I may not have time to read it."
Hyde nodded.
Ian nodded.
Based on that one sentence alone, Ian's mid-grade magic stone wasn't wasted.
"Just a reminder, the training sequence is only the beginning. The true power of a wizard lies in their mental strength, so make yourself stronger as soon as possible."
The environment isn't as safe as you think. You'd better advance quickly, within two years at the latest.
Hyde reminded him.
Ian's eyes narrowed slightly.
Before contacting Hyde and Ed, their conversation might have led to a completely different situation in a year or two.
After all, a training sequence does not mean complete exemption from war.
It seems that Hyde believes their period of stability will last at most two years.
"Thank you, Minister!"
Ian thanked him again.
It must be said that this magic stone is indeed great value for money.
......
The carriage abandoned Ian as it passed Maple Leaf Avenue.
Although he possessed a large amount of supplies and had even obtained considerable authority and resources.
But Ian only felt the atmosphere in the department became more urgent.
"A second-class wizard is not enough; we need to be even stronger."
Ian's gaze gradually hardened.
Only with sufficient strength can we cope with the changes in future schools of thought.
"And of course, Hal."
Ian muttered to himself.
Being put in a notebook isn't just about recording names.
