From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 354 Trading
After listening to Mei Weng's narration, both Yak Ding and the traveler's pupils shrank.

They knew that Ms. Mei Weng, the leader of "Night Rose", would never joke or even lie about such things.

Then the Blood Owl, who possesses such terrifying strength, is indeed qualified to get the "Knight Chess" as soon as he joins the club.

"I see……"

Mr. Fuyou looked suddenly enlightened.

He raised his hand and stroked his chin, looking at the blond young man with eyes full of surprise and admiration.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Xuexiao is so powerful at such a young age. No wonder he is favored by Mr. White Sage and Ms. Meiweng."

"Congratulations." Mr. Fuyou smiled and clapped his hands. "Congratulations to Mr. Xuexiao for joining Night Rose. From now on, we have another outstanding member!"

clap clap.

Everyone also applauded to celebrate.

Even Yak Ding and the Traveler stopped expressing any objections and joined in the applause. After all, they didn't dare to pat their chests and say that they could kill two Jiushi of the same level in just a dozen seconds.

It was already quite difficult to barely end up in a draw, and it couldn't even last for too long... let alone replicating the "abnormal" record of the Bleeding Owl.

This is almost impossible!
Even if you search the entire "Night Rose", there may not be any level 4 member who can achieve the level of Blood Owl.

There are many people who are strong in actual combat, but this is the first time they have seen someone so strong.

Therefore, it can be said that Blood Owl deserved the title of "Knight Chess"... In the hearts of the two people, apart from shock and admiration, there was only a trace of inexplicable emotion and disappointment.

"Since everyone has no objection, then this Knight Chess will be given to Blood Owl."

When the applause gradually died down, Mei Weng spoke.

She threw it lightly.

The law——

The golden chess piece in the palm of his hand suddenly turned into a golden wild horse, with an armored and armed knight sitting on its back, holding the reins and holding the sword, galloping towards the blond young man on the round table.

Finally, the knight leaped into Gilan's hand and turned back into a horse-head chess piece, with a restrained golden glow.

“Thank you Ms. Mei Weng for your trust and everyone present for your support.”

Jilan put his five fingers together, grasped the chess piece, and then smiled politely at everyone present.

The members smiled and raised their glasses to him in response.

"Well, taking advantage of this rare gathering, let's start the 'discussion' and 'trade fair'."

Mei Weng, who was presiding over the party, spoke up.

"Let me first propose a topic. 'When a substance is solidified by the action of salt crystals, what materials or methods can make it complete the "transmutation" reaction at the same time, and then "anneal" to return to the original liquid state while maintaining the change characteristics?'"

As soon as this topic was raised, everyone present was stunned and then began to discuss it in a low voice.

Gillan sat aside with a smile on his face.

But my heart was full of question marks, and I had no idea what Ms. Mei Weng was talking about.

He had no choice but to maintain an elegant smile and remain silent to cover up the embarrassment of his own "lack of culture".

The discussion gradually became louder, and the old man who made the cane and the pendulum maker argued fiercely.

At this time, Baron Opal, who had a larger tonnage, looked thoughtful and put forward his own opinion:
"Ms. Mei Weng, I think we can use the 'gas high temperature' heating method to achieve 'annealing'. This is relatively gentle and should be able to maintain the properties of the material after the 'transmutation reaction'."

"Where are the materials?" Ms. Mei Weng asked calmly.

"Hmm... 'Singing Sand', 'Black Stone Water' or 'Vortex Shedding' should be able to meet your requirements."

"No, I've tried everything."

Mei Weng shook his head.

“The material is too mild to meet the conditions.”

"This..." Baron Opal was stunned, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

Ms. Crow chatted with Mr. Fuyou for a few words, then turned her head and said with her red lips slightly opening and closing:
"How about 'Dream Sea Breeze' or 'Swamp Mushroom Spores'? These two materials are very easy to change, and there is a certain probability that they can achieve your goal."

"Yes, indeed." Mei Weng nodded. "I'll try next time."

Then, the old man who made the stick and Miss Spark also put forward their own opinions. Ms. Meiweng had a brief discussion with them, but rejected them all.

This made the old man who made the stick look depressed, as if he had suffered a great blow.

Finally, Ms. Meong looked at the teacher beside Gillan, Para Celsus.

Everyone looked at the same time, with anticipation on their faces.

Obviously, in their hearts, the White Sage is the ceiling of alchemy and a true legendary figure.

If such a master can't solve Ms. Mei Weng's problem, then there really is no one who can solve it...

"Baron Opal's idea is correct. The 'gas high temperature' method is the best solution, but we need to pay attention to the gas pressure issue."

Pala took a sip of hot tea and chuckled.

"Use 1250 bar pressure before the 'transmutation reaction', then quickly increase the pressure to 1500 bar and maintain it steadily."

"As for the materials, try mixing 'swamp mushroom spores' with 'black stone water' in a ratio of 1:7."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and their thoughts were like a clogged water pipe that was instantly cleared. After a little pre-conceptualization, they found that the feasibility was indeed very high.

Ms. Mei Weng was silent for a few seconds and said softly:
"Thank you."

Apparently, in a very short period of time, Pala had already "fed" the correct answer to this difficult question to her with his experience and profound knowledge.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the White Sage with admiration.

The pendulum maker then raised some problems he had encountered recently.

It involves the combination of mechanical structure and mysterious power, but there is an irreconcilable magnetic field disorder, frequent failures and even harmful radiation.

After a discussion, everyone gave their opinions. Finally, a concept proposed by Ms. Mei Weng perfectly solved the problem that the pendulum craftsman had been thinking about for a long time but could not find a solution.

The discussion lasted for more than an hour.

Gillan attended the entire lecture and felt an unprecedented "academic atmosphere", which made him feel a little out of place, but he also enjoyed it quite a lot.

Soon, it was time for the transaction.

Members put forward their demands or specific purchase targets, and put forward the chips they can offer, and then other interested parties express their trading intentions.

If it is inconvenient to disclose the specific transaction details, there are other areas in the Chessboard Manor where you can discuss the details privately, and the privacy is very good.

A few rounds passed.

Jilan was dazzled by the members' transactions. Most of the materials or alchemical creations were things he had never seen before. It was really an eye-opener.

"...I have a new watch here, which is the most satisfying piece of work I have made in the past six months."

When it was the clockmaker's turn, he took out a brass pocket watch from the wooden box he was carrying.

This watch looks plain, with a glass cover and a carved brass ring around it. The buckle is worn with a delicate chain, and a teardrop-shaped citrine pendulum is hung at the end.

"I named it 'Drowsy Pointer'. This watch can identify whether the target is under hypnosis or illusion and counteract the power, pointing to the approximate location of the person who exerts the mysterious power."

"Interesting creation."

Ms. Crow's red lips opened and closed slightly, and she chuckled in comment.

"However, Clockmaker, your creation is not very versatile. It is only used against the Crucible Spiral of Pentacles and the mysterious person on the October Path of the White Dove Poet... If the information is leaked, you may be hunted down by the White Dove Tower or related groups."

"No problem." The clockmaker adjusted his glasses and grinned. "All research and inventions are accompanied by risks. I have already prepared for this."

"Does anyone need this watch?"

"How much is the offer?" asked Ms. Crow.

"Hmm... 1500 Caesars."

The clockmaker thought for a moment and said.

Everyone nodded and had no objection to the price. After all, the practicality of the "Sleepy Pointer" was not very strong and could not be sold at a high price.

But even so, no one offered to buy it.

The clockmaker asked again. The scene became a little quiet, which made him feel embarrassed. He coughed twice and added:
"I can add two more bottles of 'Wake-up Potion' as a bonus."

Gillan looked puzzled, this was another potion he had never heard of. But in his heart, he was somewhat interested in the pocket watch.

After all, he had been maliciously attacked by the "White Dove Tower" twice in succession along the way, and was annoyed by the power of hypnosis.

At this time, as if seeing his confusion, Teacher Pala whispered an explanation to him.

It turns out that the function of the "Wake-up Bell Potion" is to prevent and relieve the effects of hypnosis, and it can be considered a functional potion.

The fifth-level essence of "Clockmaker" is the higher-level essence of the fourth-level "Whisper" - "Illusion".

In reality, the empire's famous watchmaker "Fischer Atom" is his grandson.

"Fisher...?"

The name sounded familiar to Gillan.

After a little recollection, he remembered that one of the relics of Miss Aurora's mother, a collection called "Christmas Pocket Watch Fisher", was made by him.

At first, Kurt, the third son of the Louis family, wanted to take it away by force by despicable means, but was finally stopped by Gillan.

"Mr. Clockmaker, this watch..."

Jilan raised his hand and was about to express his intention to buy.

The thin old man looked happy, but Lady Crow's eyes moved and she interrupted:

"By the way, clockmaker, how many times can you use this watch?"

"Uh..." The old man adjusted his octagonal hat a little awkwardly and said, "It depends on the specific use."

"If the intensity of hypnosis that the target is subjected to is too high, reaching level 4 or even level 5, it will cause irreversible damage within three times."

"Thank you for your honesty." Lady Crow nodded, then gave Gillan a look without any expression, and said to the clockmaker:

"But if that's the case, then your pricing is a bit too high."

"Not very high. I used a lot of scarce materials..."

The clockmaker said with a bitter face.

He noticed that the new member, Blood Owl, showed a lack of interest on his face, so he gritted his teeth and changed his words:
"Add one more 'Wake-up Potion'! No more!"

"That's more like it." Ms. Crow nodded.

Gillan understood what the lady meant, so he took out a small stack of gold foil banknotes and said with a smile:
"Mr. Clockmaker, I want your watch."

At the same time, he gave a thankful look to Ms. Crow. If she hadn't helped him, Jilan might have suffered a little loss.

Ms. Crow took a sip of coffee and responded with an elegant smile.

"Mr. Xuexiao has good vision. Happy trading."

The deal was done, and the clockmaker was in a good mood. He quickly put the pocket watch and three potions into the wooden box.

Then, the white round table began to move slowly, and a wave-like texture appeared on it. It pushed the wooden box in front of Jilan and brought the banknotes back.

Jilan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

After he put the wooden box away properly, the next round of trading began.

"I want to buy the 'green gunpowder' formula you have."

Miss Sparks went straight to the point, raised her little face and said to Jilan.
