The deal was struck, what a surprise.

Mage Anthony was still a little nervous. He was afraid that he would not be satisfied with the price he offered because he really could not fork out more money.

The front line was tight, and the military budget was decreasing. One hundred and fifty thousand for one was already his bottom line. However, after hearing Mas’s reply, Anthony could finally calm down.

“Esteemed Master Mas, may I purchase thirty Red Crystal Gargoyles of the same craft on behalf of the Storm Empire?” Mage Anthony asked carefully.

“Thirty Red Crystal Gargoyles. That’s not a small number. It will take some time. However, Mage Anthony, my rules here are different from others. I’m giving the goods after receiving the payment. Can you accept this?” Mas asked calmly.

Although his voice was steady, judging from his trembling legs, Mas’s heart was not as calm as his voice. After all, traditional alchemists sold alchemical creatures along with the payment.

However, he did not have enough gold coins or alchemy materials to do so, so he could only make this unreasonable request.

Even Anthony, who was experienced and knowledgeable, could not help but be angry when he heard this request. His face turned gloomy.

He frowned and pondered over this matter. After a long time, his answer was accompanied by a helpless sigh. “Master Mas, even if I agree to your rude request, my Emperor will not agree.

“However, I have a compromise here. What do you think? I’ll first give you a portion of the materials and gold coins. After you make a batch of Gargoyles, hand them to me. I’ll then give you the rest of the gold coins and materials. Then, you can give me the remaining Gargoyles. What do you think?”

‘Your Majesty, I have no choice but to agree to such a rude request. However, the front line has been defeated. I hope you can forgive me,’ Anthony thought.

“Since Mage Anthony said so, I have no objections. However, I don’t need that many gold coins. I want alchemy materials of the same value!

“How about this, I want you to pay 1.5 million gold coins worth of alchemy materials first. After I finish refining the Red Crystal Gargoyle and hand it over to you, you can give me another 3 million gold coins worth of materials. What do you think?” Mas asked carefully.

“No problem. Deal.” Anthony’s wrinkled old face broke into a smile.

“Then please note down the alchemy materials I need, Mage Anthony!” Mas found the notebook from the alchemy space. Apart from the alchemy materials needed to refine the Red Crystal Gargoyle, he also picked some advanced rare alchemy materials.

He spoke for about half an hour while Anthony used his quill to record three pages.

“My dear Mage Anthony, you have to help me find the alchemy materials that I told you about. As for the other alchemy materials, you can give me as much as you can find as long as it’s worth 1.5 million gold coins!” Mas tried his best to keep his voice calm. He did not expect it to be settled so easily.

“Alright, Master Mas. I’ll go back and report to His Majesty first. I’ll bring all the alchemy materials you need in five days at the latest!” Anthony carefully kept the three pieces of paper close to him.

“That’s good. I won’t send you off. Mage Anthony, I wish you a safe journey.” Mas opened the door of the Alchemy Tower with his mind. After Mage Anthony left, he collapsed to the ground and sighed. He finally sent the old fellow away.

“As long as I can get this alchemy material worth 4.5 million yuan, I will be able to refine even more powerful alchemical creatures with the Creator’s Alchemy Platform. At that time, I will be able to inscribe all the rune turrets again. At that time, I will be able to stand on my own in this world.” At the thought of this, the corners of Mas’s slightly raised lips indicated that his master was in a good mood.

“Sigh, there’s so much crap going on today… Ah, I shall take a nap.” Mas had spent a lot of effort pretending to be a great alchemist earlier on. Now that he had relaxed, endless fatigue surged like the tide.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning. Mas took out all the alchemy materials he had on hand one by one to see if they could be synthesized.

Swoks left him with quite a lot of inheritance, but most of them were low-level alchemy materials. The only unused alchemy materials that are three-stars and above alchemy materials were three Unicorn’s Young Horns and the Ancient Hydra’s Saliva.

But in terms of alchemy alone, without the help of the Creator’s Alchemy Platform, he was simply a layman who knew nothing.

He could only try the remaining alchemy materials one by one to see if he could make anything useful.

In the first attempt, Mas put in five alchemy materials made of different substances in order and refined an alchemical flintlock. The effect was precise and did not mean much, but it also earned him ten EXP.

In the following period of time, Mas tried refining the items according to all the alchemy materials.

One-star and two-star materials were to be refined together, or both were to be refined using two-star materials.

After trying dozens of times, Mas discovered an alchemical pattern, which was that the higher the level of the alchemy materials, the better. Mas had once used five two-star alchemy materials to refine, but he only managed to refine a half-star telescope.

Meanwhile, when he only used one-star materials, unexpectedly, he would refine a two-star alchemy item.

Mas was like a scientist now, figuring out step by step, constantly exploring and trying.

Until Mas finished refining all the one-star and two-star materials left behind by Swoks, he had only refined one three-star alchemy item.

[Bone Breastplate (Three-star Advanced Armor): Made from a mixture of the skeleton of a living creature and the armor of a dead spirit. It can resist most elemental battle techniques and magic attacks. (Note: This item can be combined with the remaining three items into a set. The set has unexpected effects!)]

This bone breastplate was grayish-white in color with silver-gray patterns on it.

When Mas saw this bone breastplate, he was quite satisfied. After all, he did not have anything else. This armor was a rare treasure for him.

Also, this breastplate was refined from five two-star items with relatively suitable attributes. This also showed him the greatness and horror of alchemy.

The five items that did not have much overall value had been forged into a breastplate that could defend against most low to mid-level attacks. This thing was simply the bane of Mages!

Mages were active in the entire Rotterdam Continent. If his empire knew that he had such a treasure, there were only two possibilities.

First, that empire violated the taboo of the world by taking him in and letting him serve their country.

Second, all the countries in the Rotterdam Continent joined forces to eliminate this unstable factor.

There was no need to even think about it. Compared to becoming the target of public criticism, basically, every country would choose the second one to eliminate the unstable factor.

Mas put the breastplate into the alchemy space.

Based on his experience, he had mastered dozens of alchemy skills, but the only ones that were useful and useful were the Red Crystal Gargoyle Alchemy and the Bone Breastplate Alchemy. As for the rest, they were dispensable for any country or himself, so he did not need to care too much.

His EXP had also reached 530!

Mas was rather curious. Since a Level 1 alchemy platform could refine all alchemy items, what changes would there be after the Creator’s alchemy platform leveled up?
