This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 178 The Powerful Bishop [Gustav]

In the extraordinary world.

There are many neutral organizations.

For neutral organizations like this, as long as they don't engage in any sabotage, participate in any evil rituals or gatherings, or organize superhumans to carry out large-scale operations, they are acceptable.

The Three-Eyed Gods and the Holy Spirit Empire will not interfere with their existence.

The Star Orbit Cult is a well-known neutral organization within the Three-Eyed God's Holy Spirit Kingdom.

With the development of the steam wave era.

The Star Orbit Cultivation Society is showing signs of growing stronger, becoming a force that even the Three-Eyed God Holy Spirit Empire cannot ignore.

The Star Orbit Monastery worships the great "Spirit of Steam and Rails".

This gives them a unique advantage when venturing into the spiritual realm of the extraordinary world.

They also have their own unique methods for obtaining steam cores.

This is also one of the reasons why Tucker chose the Star Orbit Monastery.

Compared to others, joining some mysterious organizations tends to be more passive.

Tucker has full autonomy to choose.

They followed the man named Elros.

The two stopped in a relatively wide alley behind the market.

"Knock knock knock..." Elros knocked on the door.

The fist-sized wolfhound head on the door immediately came to life.

Although it is made of metallic copper, the details are incredibly lifelike.

Seeing that it was Elros, and then glancing at Tucker beside him, the wolfhound beast-headed creature finally spoke.

"Lord Gustav is performing alchemy."

"Just say that the person who came is a refiner, and Lord Gustav will understand," Elros immediately replied.

"A master alchemist?"

The wolfhound head on the door turned its head slightly to look at Tucker.

"I heard a very skilled barista came to our market, is it him?"

Before Elros could respond.

With a "creak~" sound.

The wooden door inlaid with copper slowly opened.

Behind the door was an endless, swirling darkness.

"Come in!"

A sound was heard.

Tucker looked around before following Elros inside.

This entire enormous castle is inhabited by magical creatures.

It would take hundreds of years to raise a magical creature to such a huge size.

A powerhouse of this level has likely undertaken numerous voyages to the extraordinary world, and may even have participated in the expansionist expeditions of the Divine Empire.

They might even participate in the war of gods.

If this person is old enough.

Tucker remembered that the last war of the gods was about 120 years ago.

Passing through a curtain as dark as night.

What comes into view is a rather clean and tidy living room.

Sofas, coffee tables, bonsai decorations, murals in the Ash Gothic style, and some glassware containing large-scale miniature Ash Gothic architecture.

Tucker had previously heard that there was a place on the south side of the Duchy of Seriones that was not illuminated by the Sun of Ashes.

I greatly admire the bizarre, abstract, and distorted style of Ash Gothic.

In fact, Tucker, who fought inside those houses, didn't particularly enjoy it.

Besides that, another important point is...

A strange, burnt smell filled the air.

Tucker immediately recognized that the reaction was caused by an uncontrollable and violent reaction that occurred during the tempering of some metal and leather materials, releasing a large amount of violent energy that caused the leather and metal to shatter and become unusable.

A hazy silhouette emerged from the dark curtain beside them.

"Are you the alchemist that Saint Rand has been talking about with such incredible skill lately?" The voice, which sounded like a shadowy figure or some kind of supernatural being, was exceptionally ethereal and melodious.

After a moment of realization, Tucker removed his hood and bowed to the silhouette before replying, "I don't know if I am the one you are talking about."

"But in the Saint Land market, if there isn't a second extraordinary person selling second- and third-tier perfect refined materials, then it should be me."

The indistinct figure of Gustav nodded slightly.

"There are many star trail stalls in our Star Trails Retreat Center's market."

"You can understand that these special stalls are exclusive stalls in our market for extraordinary alchemists, pharmacists and other extraordinary individuals who have the strength and means and are willing to cooperate with our Star Orbit Cult."

"Here, we will not inquire about your identity. Whether you are a werewolf or a vampire, whether you are a core member of the Church of the Dark Sun, we will not care, and whether you are a staunch believer of Saint Rand, we will not be prejudiced against you."

"Whether you are the Son of the Dark Sun or the Blasphemer Tak, we will not care."

"As long as you're willing to open a stall here."

"We are willing to cooperate with you in depth and guarantee your absolute safety."

As this powerful sixth-tier bishop, Gustav, explained.

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.

Tucker likes this chaotic and neutral style, neither black nor white, situated in the shadow between light and darkness.

Furthermore, from the tone of the other party's statement.

Tucker realized that Elite Refiners seemed to be more popular than he had imagined.

But upon closer reflection, Tucker gradually came to understand.

Those with even a little strength and wealth will try every means to obtain leader-level materials and then supplement them with elite materials.

However, the ferocity of the leader-level materials.

That's definitely an extraordinary poison.

The soul is out of control, the extraordinary ecosystem is distorted, the sequence collapses, and the body disintegrates.

Countless extraordinary individuals like these have died on the path to advancement.

This is where the role of a top-tier refiner is perfectly demonstrated.

The level of refinement skills of the alchemist determines the safety of the superhuman's advancement when consuming the material.

Leaving aside the danger level of leader-level materials.

Only elite-grade materials can achieve a safety level.

They were already at the level of "refining experts".

That alone is enough to attract countless extraordinary individuals.

Moreover, Tucker's refinement level far exceeds safety, reaching a near-perfect level of harmlessness.

As he pondered, Tucker spoke slowly.

"Actually, I don't lack channels to sell these kinds of resources. In fact, I sell resources here more because I hope to collect the resources I need."

Gustav, understanding Tucker's implied meaning, scrutinized Tucker for a moment before speaking again: "The Star Orbit Market's warehouse also contains a considerable amount of resources; perhaps you'll find what you need."

"Third-tier, Light Lord-level soul materials or source energy materials."

Tucker said it crisply and decisively.

After a moment's thought, Gustav shook his head and said.

"Lord-level materials are extremely rare."

"Even our local market doesn't have it."

"The best Tier 3 material we currently have is a level 39 Quasi-Lord-level Blue Whale Ocean Crystal."

Tucker quickly considered the matter.

"A level 39 Quasi-Lord Ocean Crystal, which is on the same level as the Mountain Giant Bear I absorbed when I advanced to the second tier."

"The stuff is certainly good, but..."

Tucker looked up at Gustav, who was a sixth-level bishop.

"Do you have any leader-level materials?"

"Yes, but the light isn't entirely complete!" Gustav said after thinking for a moment.

Tucker: "..."

"Materials from those sun eagles that love to bask in the sun, on the floating boundaries of the world's Antarctic frontier," Gustav explained.

Tucker understood immediately after hearing what the other person said.

Some of the materials that Tucker obtained from Hilor, from the dwarf Baggins, and even from the materials Tucker himself inquired about in the black market, were crystallized materials from the Sun Eagle.

These materials possess a blazing, luminous power.

But it lacks divine power.

As Gustav said, there is light, but it is not very complete.

Even so.

Tucker had only heard this kind of information.

But none of them have actually been received yet.

These rare, boss-level materials are something you can buy with money; nobody else will sell them to you.

Most of it was barter.

The rarity of leader-level materials is no exaggeration.

If it weren't for Tucker's status as a refiner and his astonishing strength...

Baggins would definitely not be willing to part with Tier 3 Lord-level Dragon Crystal materials.

The fact that this powerful bishop was willing to offer materials for a third-tier quasi-lord was clearly because of Tucker's status as a top-tier refiner.

"I need a quasi-lord-level Blue Whale Ocean Crystal, and a Boss-level Solar Eagle material."

"Approximately how much magic gold is needed?"

While lost in thought, Tucker looked at Gustav, the sixth-tier bishop-level powerhouse.

Tucker needs materials of the Light element.

However, it is not necessary to possess sacred characteristics.

Having divine characteristics certainly allows Tucker to better channel his angelic sequence abilities.

If not, Tucker can still draw upon the Angelic Sequence properties of the Steam Tower to generate powerful Angelic Sequence abilities.

The materials from the Solar Giant Eagle can be used as a backup.

"free!"

Gustav answered Tucker's question in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, Tucker knew that the other party intended to sell it to him at the highest price.

"What do you need me to do?" Tucker asked, knowing exactly what was going on in his mind.

Gustav smiled.

He was starting to like this extraordinary wizard/spirit refiner who wanted to advance to the third tier.

"In the next three months, you can sell through consignment or by coming here to the booths we have prepared for you."

"Our professional sales staff will help you sell these top-quality materials."

"To ensure the high level and depth of our cooperation."

"You need to craft at least two Boss-grade materials for each Gray Night cycle."

"Don't worry, we will protect your interests."

"It will only be a higher percentage than what those dwarves gave you."

After hearing what the other person said, Tucker vaguely understood a lot of things.

nowadays.

All forces are converging on Saint Rand.

Just two days ago, the Steam Daily reported that teams of low- and mid-level geniuses and elite superhumans from various city-states were constantly moving into Saint Land.

Among the many geniuses and extraordinary individuals in these city-states, there are quite a few who possess formidable extraordinary talents at the first, second, and third tiers.

Meanwhile, news of top-tier materials was being delivered from the Star Trail Market within the underground city's black market.

This will naturally attract many extraordinary individuals with astonishing wealth.

At that time, there will be no shortage of money to be made in the star trail market.

Having figured all this out, Tucker nodded slightly.

"In that case, let's have a pleasant collaboration!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

Inside the magical castle, the two officially formed a partnership.
