He has long followed the president and is one of the most favored candidates for the next president.
Augmundu himself is also a powerful mage, reaching the seventh-tier Magic Master realm at just forty, hailed as the most promising genius to beco the next Holy Demon Master in the Human Kingdom.
Originally, he was already very surprised that he couldn’t detect the objects inside himself, but he didn’t expect even his teacher would fail.
It seems the mysterious man claiming to be Ji Xing is indeed undoubtedly a Holy Rank strongman.
After all, just by using a casual token, he could block the detection of an Eighth Rank Great Mage. Such an ability is probably sothing no one outside the Holy Rank could achieve.
"This Magic Bottle must be made of a very special material, which can greatly reduce the detection effect of magic power, even I can’t break through its interference..."
The elderly elder in the Purple Robe shook his head, a look of regret in his eyes.
"Such precious material, yet only used to make a Magic Bottle, is truly a waste... If it were fused into Anti-Demon Gold instead, I am confident I could make a shield that could immune against magic below Eighth Rank, truly a pity, a pity..."
Though he said this, his hands never stopped working, continuously fiddling with the small bottle.
"Porter, what do you think the butterfly inside is for, to be loaded with such a precious Magic Artifact, could it really be just for conveying ssages?"
The elderly elder in the Purple Robe was very curious.
Because in this world, the ans of conveying information are very few, and also very inefficient.
Basically, these things can only be used by high-order mages and above, and even using them isn’t satisfactory; in most cases, delivering ssages still relies on couriers and magic beasts.
Therefore, he finds it hard to imagine why such an existence would use such a precious Magic Bottle to hold a ssage-conveying butterfly.
"This doesn’t seem to be a living thing... I feel... it is more like an Alchemy Item... But how could alchemy possibly create such a freely moving object...?"
Augmundu pondered aloud his guesses.
The elderly elder in the Purple Robe nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with his student’s observation.
"You’re quite right; according to my observation, it is indeed an Alchemy Item, not a real living entity, and your ability to discern this through the Magic Bottle shows you’ve been improving lately."
"However, there’s one point you got wrong: Alchemy is not as simple as you think. Before the eruption of the Battle of Sunset, it was the golden era of alchemy, and many alchemy creations could move freely..."
The elder gazed through the transparent little bottle at the butterfly inside, with a look of lantation in his eyes.
"It’s just a pity that since that war, much of the alchemy literature inexplicably disappeared, and even many records of them vanished, so it is understandable you didn’t know."
It was also the first ti Augmundu heard such a statent, and he was slightly surprised inside.
"It seems that Lord Jixing must co from so long-standing family, otherwise it would be impossible to create such things..."
"Exactly, I heard from soone earlier that he is looking for a Dinsion Rift. Though I have never heard of such a thing, judging by the na, it must involve powers of the Space Departnt. Such a thing cannot be simple..."
"Teacher, rest assured, I have already arranged for soone to make preparations in advance. Any recent news about Space Magic Artifacts will be collected, and it will certainly be found before others!"
"Hmm, you did well, but I need to remind you of one thing: the so-called Dinsion Rift may not be limited to a certain item; it may also be so kind of phenonon. All relevant information must be comprehensively collected!"
"Understood, teacher."
"..."
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
While the people of the Iron Furnace Comrce were still in conversation, Zhang Xiaoman had already arrived alone at the hall of the rcenary Association.
This is the most luxurious rcenary hall in all of Tarata, and even the entire Human Kingdom.
As the headquarters hall of the rcenary Association, there are massive numbers of rcenaries coming and going each day.
Countless tasks are summarized here, and you can receive missions released from all rcenary halls around the world here.
Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t attracted by the headquarters hall’s decoration and flow of people but headed straight for his destination.
These things might seem spectacular to people in this world.
But in his eyes, it’s similar to so large airports on Water Blue Star, nothing too amazing.
There was a counter marked with a task posting point, occupied by people of various attires in front.
There were rcenaries ard with weapons and civilians carrying baskets.
He waited a little while in line, and it was soon his turn.
"Honorable sir, what kind of task would you like to post?"
The receptionist was a pretty blonde girl.
One could see her high service quality; even after a busy day, she continued to serve with a smile.
"I want to post two tasks; can I just tell you directly?"
Zhang Xiaoman was here for the first ti and wasn’t familiar with the process.
In his view, everything here seed overly simplistic.
No reasonable planning and arrangent, no self-service forms to fill out, everything appeared in the most primitive and outdated way, making him, who is used to modern convenient life, feel it is inefficient.
"Yes, sir, you just need to tell the task’s na, requirents, rewards, and related information. I will handle all the procedures for you."
The receptionist’s smile was bright as a flower, and the handso appearance and temperant of the other party further increased her patience.
"Alright."
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a mont and began to state his requirents.
"The first is a hiring task; I need to find soone proficient in alchemy to teach related knowledge in alchemy, estimated at about ten days, and I can pay a reward of one hundred Gold Coins. If there is a need to extend after ten days, it will still be on the sa terms."
"Of course, I have requirents too; the rank of the Alchemist must reach interdiate, but if it’s a Senior Alchemist, I am willing to double the pay."
"..."
He quickly finished stating the content of his first task; Zhang Xiaoman had done his howork beforehand.
At Baron Sean’s castle, he gained a certain understanding of the alchemy system through the books and knew what kind of guidance he currently needed most.
Too low-level and basic is not enough to learn.
Too advanced is temporarily unnecessary.
So an interdiate alchemist is just about right.
After all, with the Divine Skills of Quicksand in his fingers, Zhang Xiaoman can learn in one day what would take others a month to achieve.
Behind the counter, the receptionist listened to his narration while swiftly jotting down notes with a pen.
When she heard the task’s reward, she couldn’t help but look up at the man opposite.
Ten days, a hundred Gold Coins?
Ten Gold Coins a day!?
And if it’s a Senior Alchemist, the price would double!
Such generous rewards really surprised her.
Although it’s true that one needs to spend a lot of money to learn alchemy, it’s the first ti she’s seen sothing like this.
This price is about ten tis higher than the market average.
After all, it is just ten days; which normal alchemist doesn’t start classes on an annual basis?
The receptionist’s attention was wholly captured by the high return, not even considering why this young man needed only about ten days.
Ten days, that’s all, what could you possibly learn?
Of course, although she felt surprised inside, her good professional ethics made her not perform any unnecessary actions.
She simply confird the task’s related information again and quickly helped the other party complete the registration of the first task.
