“I’m Kulmoni, in charge of gathering manpower for Milta’s project. I don’t see you two here. Did the people from the Alchemy Society give you a hard time?”
Kulmoni was young and beautiful, and her tone was somewhat friendly.
“It’s fine. The people in the Alchemy Society are hard to get along with. Just follow me later. I’ll handle the communication.”
“But have you guys reached the level of an elementary mage?”
As she spoke, Kulmoni looked at Fang Heng and said, “Don’t hide it. This is for your own good. Milta’s research project consumes a lot of spiritual power, and it will affect you for a long time if you forcibly extract your spiritual power. It will be even more troublesome if you touch the source. It’s not worth it to do this for such a small reward.”
“Oh, we’re here, we’re here. It’s the first time for both of us to come to the capital of the Empire.”
As Ed spoke, he handed the Mage Association identification card to Kulmoni. “This is my friend, Fang Heng. He just came from the border city and hasn’t gotten his Mage Association identification card yet. However, his spiritual power is very strong, much higher than mine. He’s definitely above the level of an elementary mage.”
Kulmoni briefly checked Ed’s identity card and handed it back when she found that there was no problem.
“Mm, okay. Then follow me later. Wait for another five minutes. There will be another group of people coming over later. We’ll go together.”
“Alright.”
Fang Heng agreed without hesitation.
The reward was secondary. What he was most concerned about was the unknown stone.
If there were more unknown stones hidden here…
After waiting for less than three minutes, the elevator door opened, and more than ten mages joined the team.
Kulmoni nodded and said a few words to the staff of the Alchemy Society beside her, then took the elevator to the fifth basement with more than 20 mages, including Fang Heng and his companion.
Under the guidance of the staff of the Alchemy Society, after a few turns, they came to a room at the end of the corridor.
“Ding Dong…”
After a clear sound, the door opened in front of everyone.
Fang Heng squinted his eyes and quickly sized up the layout of the room.
It was a rectangular hall. The hall was very spacious, and there were many members of the Alchemy Society scattered in the middle. The most eye-catching thing was the floor.
There were more than thirty alchemy magic arrays arranged in five rows on the floor.
It seemed to be the same high-level alchemy magic array.
Strangely, he didn’t seem to see any black stones.
Was there something wrong with the spiritual fluctuation he sensed just now?
Fang Heng’s eyes searched around the room and released his perception.
He found it!
After releasing his perception, Fang Heng suddenly felt the spiritual power fluctuation again and immediately turned his head to the right.
There were a few wooden boxes stacked against the wall on the right side of the room. Many people from the Alchemy Society stood beside the boxes as if they were protecting them.
Was the box filled with the unknown stone?
The spiritual energy fluctuation seemed to be a little weak.
As he was thinking, Fang Heng noticed an old man in the middle of the hall with his back facing them. He turned around and walked straight toward them.
“Kulmoni, you’re here.”
“Master Milta.”
With a fawning smile on her face, Kulmoni greeted him with a smile. “I’m really sorry to have trouble you to wait for me here.”
“Yes, it’s fine. Have you brought everyone?”
“Of course, these are the elites of the Mage Association.”
Milta’s gaze swept over Fang Heng’s group of more than 20 people one by one. He nodded and said, “I hope so. It won’t be like last time.”
“It won’t. It took me a long time to recruit these people. They are all mages above the elementary level, the elites of the Mage Association. It will not be like the last time. As long as you have the money, I can help you find any kind of people.”
Kulmoni was smiling, but she felt disdain from within.
If he had paid more money earlier, why would he have asked for apprentices the last time?
Milta waved his hand and said, “Alright, I’ll leave this to you. I still have something to do. Just like last time, we’ll settle the bill according to the amount of energy poured into the alchemy magic array.”
“Of course, you go ahead.”
After sending away Milta and more than a dozen alchemists, Kulmoni returned to Fang Heng and the others and said, “Everyone, there are some who are here for the first time. I’ll explain it again.”
“Everyone can see the magic arrays in the hall, right? At this stage, the mana in the alchemy magic arrays is still empty. What we need to do is find a way to fill these alchemy magic arrays with the power of the will. After the alchemy magic arrays are fully charged, we can obtain a piece of yellow paper from the Alchemy Society’s staff beside the magic arrays. Each piece of yellow paper represents 10 points. At the end of the process, you can come to me and exchange it for the Mage Association points.”
“Remember, don’t get into a conflict with the people from the Alchemy Society. If you have any trouble, come to me immediately. I’ll help you negotiate. Trust me, I’ll do my best to protect everyone’s interests.”
Kulmoni’s eyes swept over the crowd again and asked, “Do you all understand?”
No one answered and only nodded.
“Alright, let’s start then.”
After saying that, the twenty or so mages in the team dispersed.
Many mages walked towards a row of wooden tables on the left side of the wall.
Fang Heng looked at the mages curiously.
Potions of various colors were placed on the wooden tables. The mages were expressionless as they poured the potions into their mouths.
Ed asked, “What’s that potion on that wooden table?”
“It’s an alchemy potion that stimulates the mind power and speeds up the recovery of the mind power. It’s very effective, and the Alchemy Society provides it to us for free.”
Kulmoni did not walk away. When she heard Ed’s question, she said, “You can use it, but I don’t recommend it. Long-term use will cause irreversible damage to your spiritual power.”
Looking at the group of elementary mages who were drinking potions, Kulmoni could not help but sigh in her heart.
The Alchemy Society would provide excellent mental stimulation drugs for free.
However, this medicine had a flaw.
It was not obvious if it was used for a short period of time, but after a long time, it would become drug dependence, which would affect the recovery of mental power.
Sometimes, the apprentices of the Mage Association knew that this potion was a trap, but they still forced themselves to drink it.
They had no choice. It was too difficult to learn spiritual spells, and they needed money.
Especially in the early stages, the expenses were too high.
The other option was to find a reliable union or vassal of the feudal lord, but the commission they could get was still not enough for their daily expenses, and the effects of potions were too good. The difference between drinking and not drinking was five to six times!
If they didn’t need money, who would take such a big risk to drink potions to earn money?
Ed nodded. He was also a spellcaster.
It was indeed hard for players to practice spells in the early stages. They needed to spend a lot of time, effort, and money.
After they finished drinking the potions, the mages scattered and looked for alchemy magic arrays to start infusing their mental power.
The entire hall was instantly filled with multi-colored lights.
