"As long as you collect the complete inheritance, you might be able to decipher the Meat Mountain's suppression seal pattern, reinforce the enchantment seal, and prevent the enchantment seals on your sea ship from being disrupted by Meat Mountain."
Upon hearing Wang Yuanwei's words, Fang Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly.
Then, his gaze fell on those fragments, he pondered briefly, and said, "There should be more than one part to the inheritance. The fragments I have assembled could very well be just one page of it."
"Wanting to collect the complete inheritance can't be done with just my own energy alone. Why not treat this as a task and open it up, inviting Blue Star captains at the fleet level to participate?"
"The sooner this is completed, the more it will help the situation."
Fang Yu suggested.
It's clear that this is a matter of great importance, and if dragged on, should that alchemist indeed open the Sin Domain and allow the evil alchemists to walk out of it, it would bring significant harm to the group of Blue Star captains.
Fang Yu himself is a member of the Blue Star captains. Although not all are united as one, any matter directed against Blue Star captains would somehow fall on Fang Yu's shoulders.
In a way, some of the Blue Star captains' interests are intertwined.
Being able to accelerate the task's progress would also be beneficial to Fang Yu.
Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Wang Yuanwei's eyes brightened, and he nodded quickly, "You're right. I'll mull it over and put the task out."
Fang Yu nodded. Then he glanced at Wang Yuanwei and said:
"Alright, now that the unrelated stuff is out of the way, should we talk about the main business?"
"What main business?"
Wang Yuanwei was taken aback.
"My sea ship needs a mid-level enchantment and three instances of basic enchantment."
Wang Yuanwei: ....
Damn, you call that the main business?!
...
According to Wang Yuanwei, just approaching the location of the Meat Mountain causes the enchantment capabilities on the sea ship to be cursed due to the combination of alchemy and theology, thereby weakening them.
Yet even if weakened by 80%, as long as 20% remains, for Fang Yu, adding one mid-level enchantment capability is still an enhancement.
Moreover, mid-level enchantments aren't just used within the scope of the Meat Mountain. Outside of it, they can still exert strong power.
Hearing Fang Yu's request, Wang Yuanwei hesitated and then nodded.
"Forget it. Originally, there is a shortage of manpower in the association recently, and logically, I shouldn't take new orders."
"But since you're providing military support this time, which is very important for the progress of this matter, I'll make an exception and do it for you."
Wang Yuanwei said to Fang Yu.
"What do you mean? Shortage of manpower?"
Fang Yu was taken aback.
"Yes, shortage of manpower... Most of the alchemists have been transferred near the Sin Domain to discuss and research this matter, leaving only myself and two other senior alchemists at the Qiyun Port branch."
"After all, the main battleground this time is in the sea region around the Sin Domain."
Hearing Wang Yuanwei's words, Fang Yu finally understood and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Indeed, the sea region around Qiyun Port just happens to be where the evil alchemist awakened.
He merely hastily left a few Meat Mountains in the vicinity and then proceeded directly towards the Sin Domain.
There's no need for a direct face-off with someone of that level.
Just need to safely clear the Meat Mountains around the Qiyun Port sea region.
On this thought, Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Wang Yuanwei before him and asked casually:
"So how much is the total cost for one mid-level enchantment and three basic enchantments?"
"Four enchantments?" Wang Yuanwei was startled, then shook his head: "Can't do that many, I'll handle your mid-level enchantment first."
"I still need to release tasks and keep an eye on the dynamics of the Meat Mountain. I don't have much energy to do them all for you."
"Once the Meat Mountain situation is resolved, I'll do the remaining three basic enchantments for you."
Wang Yuanwei replied.
Enchantment requires an alchemist to fully concentrate, not something that can be casually released using a scroll.
Carving the enchantment seal patterns takes time.
Given the current situation, Wang Yuanwei clearly doesn't have much time to spare for Fang Yu.
Hearing Wang Yuanwei's words, Fang Yu nodded, indicating his understanding, and then prepared to take out five thousand silver coins:
"It's five thousand silver coins, right?"
Fang Yu asked casually.
"Uh... seven thousand..."
Fang Yu: ???
"How much?!"
"There's no way around it, the situation is so tense lately. The material supplies needed for engraving aren't coming in, so we have to temporarily use stock materials, hence the price increase."
"It's not just me raising prices, but all senior alchemists at the Qiyun Port branch have raised theirs..."
Wang Yuanwei looked innocently remorseful.
Yet Fang Yu always felt like this sly dog always used the same innocent face whenever hiking prices, as if acting innocent just justified the increase.
A routine, such a routine!
Fang Yu lamented, but Wang Yuanwei said that if he couldn't accept the price, he could wait until the Meat Mountain was cleared out, and the Safe Sea Region no longer had blood and flesh hunts, normal trade would resume, and prices could drop again.
Wait?
Fang Yu shook his head.
Forget it, let it be expensive.
One shouldn't fight a battle they aren't prepared for. Before venturing out to sea this time, the ship should be upgraded first. Each bit of increased strength offers more assurance in a sea encounter.
After paying, Fang Yu glanced at his on-hand space panel.
Money remaining: 15,000 silver coins.
Not bad.
Despite the unscrupulous profiteer Wang Yuanwei always jacking up prices, Fang Yu's earning ability has also risen, allowing him to afford his mid-level enchantment costs.
After setting a simple appointment with Wang Yuanwei, Fang Yu got up and left the Alchemist Association.
The mid-level enchantment, including sorting tasks at the Alchemist Association, required some time.
Fang Yu could use this time to take care of other tasks...
