Chapter 45 Gut
The next day, in the early morning, the rising sun slowly rose from the east, casting the first ray of sunlight. Xiao Yun got up early and left the hotel. When he came out, he also inquired about the location of the Alchemist Guild Rock City is indeed one of the largest cities in the Gama Empire. Even in the early morning, the streets are bustling with people. All kinds of people are walking on the streets. The hawkers' cries and women's cursing resound in the sky above Black Rock City.
However, when Xiao Yun passed by, the originally bustling streets became extremely quiet, and people on the streets retreated to both sides, as if there was an invisible force pushing them. Whether they were vendors or women, they looked at Xiao Yun with fear and curiosity in their eyes.
There was no special reason, Xiao Yun just put on his alchemist's clothes, which were simple and exquisite, and embroidered with five lifelike silver ripples. In the Douqi Continent, the noble status of alchemists has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, which is why passers-by showed fearful eyes to Xiao Yun.
But Xiao Yunzhen didn't wear this outfit just to show off. He just hoped to find Gut through the Alchemist Guild. If he didn't reveal his identity as an alchemist, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the door of the Alchemist Guild.
However, Xiao Yun had already gotten used to such stares. He followed the route the hotel owner had given him and walked leisurely on the street. He soon arrived at the location of the Alchemist Guild.
When the guards at the door saw the badge on Xiao Yun's chest, they immediately saluted respectfully. Some even ran in to report. After all, in the entire Jiama Empire, apart from Dan King Gu He, only Fama, the president of the Alchemist Guild, was a fifth-grade alchemist. Xiao Yun, who was wearing a fifth-grade alchemist badge, appeared here, which was already a big shot.
So, Xiao Yun had just entered the Alchemist Guild when two old men came towards him.
Xiao Yun took a quick glance at the alchemist badges on their chests and discovered that the two old men were both fourth-grade alchemists.
"Junior Otto (Frank), nice to meet you, Master." Although the combined age of these two people is nearly ten times that of Xiao Yun, according to the rules of alchemists, the one who is more accomplished comes first. Unless there is a master-disciple relationship, the distribution can only be based on the level of alchemy skills. Xiao Yun is a fifth-grade alchemist, and the two fourth-grade alchemists can only be juniors in front of him.
"There is no need to be like this, Masters. My name is Xiao Yun, you can just call me Xiao Yun." Xiao Yun clasped his fists and said, he was not an arrogant person, if others were willing to give him face, he would also be willing to give others face.
"So it's Master Xiao, my apologies." As soon as the two heard Xiao Yun's words, they knew his identity and no longer had to guess whether he was pretending to be a fifth-grade alchemist.
After all, the Alchemist Guilds in the Northwest Continent all had some information shared with each other. Xiao Yun's fifth-grade alchemist assessment was taken at the Alchemist Guild in Canaan City, and people from other Alchemist Guilds had long known that in the Black Horn Region, there was a genius named Xiao Yun who was only thirteen years old but had already become a fifth-grade alchemist.
Seeing that the two of them still called him Master, Xiao Yun was too lazy to say anything. He just asked one of them to help him introduce Gut.
"Master Xiao, what do you want to do with that weirdo? He has a very strange temper. Relying on the fact that his brother is the Dan King Gu He, his bad temper has offended many people. I'm worried that Gut's bad temper will offend you." Although Otto agreed, he still explained Gut's characteristics to Xiao Yun and said with some concern.
"It's okay. I heard that Gu Te has collected many rare treasures. I came here just to exchange one of them."
Xiao Yun didn't tell Otto anything about the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, saying that he had a good temper and told him not to worry.
"Well, then you'd better be careful. If Gut finds out what treasures you have, he will use any means to get them." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Otto's worry became even more intense. In the Gama Empire, everyone knows Gut's bad habits, and basically no one would trade with him.
A moment later, Otto brought Xiao Yun to a strange building in the south of the city and stopped. Looking up at the strange building in front of him, Xiao Yun was a little surprised and said, "Is this Gu Te's residence? The appearance is so... strange." In fact, he wanted to say ugly, but after all, he came here to exchange things with others, and it would not be good if he was heard.
Otto nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Gutt is like this, with a strange temper and a strange place to live. Master Xiao, please follow me. There are many traps in this room. I will take you in."
After saying that, Otto walked forward, opened the door, and walked in with Xiao Yun.
After avoiding several traps in the room, the two finally arrived at the top floor of the building, in front of a wooden door.
Bang!
Otto kicked the wooden door open, and an old voice came from inside, saying, "Otto, why are you here? Uh, why did you bring someone else with you? What do you want to do?!"
Rolling his eyes, Otto smiled at Xiao Yun a little embarrassedly and said, "Gu Te is like this, always nervous."
Nodding, Xiao Yun walked slowly into the house, and scanned the room habitually. When his eyes glanced at the counter where items were placed in the room, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"Oh, there are a lot of good stuff, Fire Heart Seven Leaf Flower, Blood Crystal Grass, Blue Rock Heart Stone..."
Looking at the rare treasures that are rarely seen in normal times, all of which are collected in this somewhat shabby little house, Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh that Gut's collection is really rich.
"Hey, hey, little brat, what are you looking at? Are you thinking of taking my baby?" Seeing Xiao Yun's expression, Gut jumped over hurriedly, glaring at Xiao Yun fiercely.
"Uh... I'll just take a look. I won't snatch them from you." After hearing what Gut said, Xiao Yun touched his head a little embarrassedly. Just now, he really wanted to put all these treasures into the ring. Fortunately, he was a friendly and kind person after all, and he suppressed the greed in his heart in time.
"You can't even look at it! You still want to rob it?" Hearing Xiao Yun's words, the ferocity on Gut's face became more intense, and a powerful aura spread from his body into the house.
"Be polite to Master Xiao Yun, he is a fifth-grade alchemy master!" At the moment when Gut's momentum exploded, Otto quickly flashed in front of him, put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered.
"Huh? A fifth-grade alchemist?" Hearing Otto's words, Gut quickly retracted his aura and looked at Xiao Yun. He saw that he was wearing a badge on his chest that symbolized a fifth-grade alchemist.
After Otto persuaded Gut, he turned around and smiled at Xiao Yun, "Master Xiao, since I have already brought you to see Gut, I will not bother you any more. You can trade with him. I will wait for you downstairs."
After saying that, Otto walked towards the door. When he went out, he clapped his hands on a certain place on the wall. Suddenly, a wooden door slowly rose up, and after a moment, the entire room was isolated.
