The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

Several days later

Outside Blackrock City

"Da da da..."

With a crisp sound of hooves, a carriage slowly appeared at the end of the official road.

It was a somewhat old-fashioned yellow carriage, the carriage made of some kind of yellow solid wood that was not known to be in use.

The two horses pulling the cart were wildebeest with black horns and bulging muscles.

Wildebeest are hybrid creatures, born from the crossbreeding of a first-tier magical beast and an ordinary horse.

Because wildebeests have far greater endurance and speed than ordinary horses, and their temperament is more docile than that of magical beasts, many factions tame wildebeests specifically to help transport supplies or pull carts to transport people.

The two-horned chariot in front of us belongs to the Mittel Auction House and was specially sent by Ya Fei to deliver Nalan Sheng and his group.

Soon the horned carriage arrived near Blackrock City and stopped at the city gate.

Nalan Sheng, dressed in a black outfit, and Xiao Yixian, dressed in a white dress, slowly stepped out of the carriage.

Looking at the massive city wall, built entirely of black boulders and standing a hundred meters high, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of one of the largest cities in the empire, it's truly incomparable to Wutan City."

"Of course."

Nalan Sheng smiled and nodded, saying, "It is said that two Dou Wang experts once joined forces to attack Black Rock City, but they still couldn't break through its walls. You can imagine how strong the city's defenses are."

After Nalan Sheng finished speaking, he took Little Fairy Doctor's hand and walked towards the procession entering the city not far away.

Large cities like Blackrock City have a much larger population than Utan City. In addition, outsiders need to pay an entrance fee to enter Blackrock City, so naturally a long queue forms at the city gate.

Nalan Sheng and his companions waited patiently in line for more than ten minutes, and after paying an entrance fee of one gold coin each, they successfully entered Blackrock City.

As soon as the two passed through the somewhat dark city wall passage, their vision suddenly opened up, followed by a cacophony of voices that overwhelmed Nalan Sheng and his companions, causing them to subconsciously frown.

"Xian'er, let's rest in Blackrock City for a while, and then head to the capital tomorrow!"

"Um."

This was Little Fairy Doctor's first time visiting Blackrock City, and she had intended to wander around the city, so naturally she wouldn't object to Nalan Sheng's suggestion.

Led by Nalan Sheng, the two first went to the largest inn in the city, booked two luxury rooms, and then wandered around the city.

It must be said that Blackrock City truly lives up to its reputation as a large city; the quality of the goods sold in its shops is significantly higher than that in Utan City.

For example, in the pharmacies of Wutan City, they mostly sell first-grade and second-grade pills, and you can hardly find third-grade pills.

In the pharmacies of Blackrock City, in addition to selling a lot of Grade 3 pills, one can occasionally see Grade 4 pills such as Qi Gathering Powder.

Therefore, Nalan Sheng and his companions also reaped considerable rewards, purchasing many useful items.

After wandering around the city for several hours, the two finally stopped in front of a strangely shaped building.

It was a giant building that looked like a medicine cauldron. On the sandalwood plaque above the main entrance, five large characters were written in a flamboyant style: Alchemist Guild!

"Please stop here, you two!"

As soon as Nalan Sheng and his companions reached the entrance of the Alchemist Guild, two heavily armed guards blocked their path and said in a gruff voice, "Only alchemists are allowed to enter the Alchemist Guild. If you two do not have a letter of introduction from another alchemist, please leave immediately."

"I am Nalan Sheng. I have come to pay my respects to Chairman Frank on the orders of the Nalan Clan Chief. Please inform him of my presence."

Seeing this, Nalan Sheng didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect without changing his expression.

"So it's Young Master Nalan. Please wait a moment while I send someone to inform the Chairman."

Upon learning that Nalan Sheng had come to see Chairman Frank, the two burly guards immediately smiled warmly and quickly summoned a maid to go find Chairman Frank.

Nalan Sheng and the others didn't wait long before the maidservant quickly approached them again, bowed, and said, "The guild master invites you two guests to the VIP room for a gathering. Please follow me."

"Xian'er, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Sheng called out to Little Fairy Doctor and led her into the Alchemist Guild.

The Alchemist Guild Hall is spacious, but there are only a dozen or so staff members.

Besides the staff, there were several figures dressed in alchemist robes in the hall.

Judging from the badges worn on the chests of those alchemists, they were all first- or second-grade alchemists.

Looking at the alchemist badges worn on their chests, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but show an undisguised look of envy.

In fact, Little Fairy Doctor's biggest dream has always been to become an alchemist.

Unfortunately, the requirements to become an alchemist are too demanding, so Little Fairy Doctor had to settle for second best and become a doctor who heals the sick.

The alchemists in the hall naturally noticed Nalan Sheng and his group, but seeing that they didn't even have alchemist badges, they withdrew their gazes, feeling quite bored.

Nalan Sheng ignored the alchemists' reactions and followed the maid who was leading the way to the VIP room on the second floor of the alchemists' building.

At this moment, two figures were sitting in the VIP room.

One of them was a thin, white-haired old man wearing a black alchemist's robe. On the alchemist's badge on his chest were four carefully drawn silver ripples, indicating that he was a fourth-grade alchemist.

The other person was also an elderly man with white hair, but he was slightly overweight. Judging from the alchemist badge he wore on his chest, he was also a fourth-grade alchemist.

The two white-haired old men in front of them were none other than President Frank and Vice President Otto of Blackrock City.

"Knock knock!"

A knock suddenly sounded at the door, followed by three figures walking in from outside.

When Frank saw Nalan Sheng's face clearly, he subtly stroked his beard and nodded to Otto, who was sitting opposite him.

Although Frank had never met Nalan Sheng before, he had seen Nalan Yanran at a party when he went to the capital half a year ago.

Nalan Sheng and Nalan Yanran are twins, and they look very similar, so Frank immediately recognized him.

"Junior Nalan Sheng greets the two seniors."

Upon seeing Frank and his companion, Nalan Sheng immediately bowed to them.

"Young friend, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat."

After Nalan Sheng and Little Fairy Doctor were seated, Frank got straight to the point and asked, "May I ask what brings you here today, young friend?"
