Chapter 178 BASF Master

Master BASF treated Roger so courteously, making the others secretly amazed, and guessed what was in the envelope he sent just now. 【】But everyone has no clue, and of course they don't know why BASF is so polite to Roger.

Of course, Roger knew that the magic pattern he had drawn had caught BASF's attention, so he immediately left the hall under the leadership of the servant.When passing by the guest who was always laughing at himself, Roger suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, I have a request. If Mr. BASF doesn't agree, then we don't have to meet."

Hearing Roger's words, the servant was taken aback for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Please tell me."

But before the servant came to see Roger, BASF had told him that as long as the request was not too excessive, he could agree first.It can only be seen from this point that BASF is very interested in the magic pattern drawn by Roger.

"My request is very simple." Roger pointed to the guest who taunted him all the way: "Kick this person out, and ask Mr. BASF to promise me that you will never do business with this person!"

As soon as Roger said these words, the others immediately elicited a series of slight exclamations.Everyone knows that Master BASF loves money like his life, and this young man actually asked him to drive away the guests.

The customer was humiliated face to face by Roger, and his face was even swollen like a pig's liver.This person is also a frequent visitor here. Although he is not a noble minister, he is also a rich master. When was he beaten in the face in front of everyone?He also believed that BASF would never let the guests out, so he immediately stood up and pointed at Roger and said, "Young man, don't be too presumptuous. This is the home of Master BASF, and it's not your turn to point fingers..."

However, before this guy finished speaking, the servant stepped forward and interrupted: "Mr. Sifer, Master BASF, please leave immediately, you are no longer welcome here!"

Although the servant's tone was very polite, his words were like slaps on the guest's face one after another, making him open his mouth wide but he couldn't say anything, and his face turned from a pig liver color to an ashen blue in an instant .This guy never imagined that he had spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins here in the past few years, but because of Roger's words, Master BASF drove him away mercilessly.

People who often come to BASF to consume, either need these alchemy products themselves, or can benefit greatly from them, and this customer is no exception.But from now on, it is impossible for this guy to buy anything here, and the loss is so great that he can't even think about it.At this time, the guest regretted the behavior just now, but he also knew that nothing could be done, so he could only leave the manor in despair under the polite "leading" of the other servants.

Roger noticed that the servant touched his ear subconsciously before telling the guest to leave, a movement very similar to that of an agent contacted by a hidden walkie-talkie.This let him know that the servant must be able to contact BASF through some kind of magic item, and the servant must have obtained the consent of the master alchemist just now, so the servant drove the guest away directly.This also made Roger understand that BASF is very interested in that magic pattern, otherwise he would not offend other guests just because of his own words.

After understanding this section, Roger is also a little more sure about the next bargain with BASF, knowing that the soul gem is basically in his hands.

Roger followed the servants around the manor for a while, and finally came to BASF's laboratory.Contrary to imagination, the laboratory of this master alchemist is actually in a remote corner of the manor, and it is dilapidated from the outside. If there is no servant leading the way, Roger would really suspect that the toilet in front of him is.

Out of Roger's doubts, the servant explained to him in a low voice: "Many experiments done by Master BASF are dangerous, so he arranged the laboratory here. Please come in, he is already waiting for you inside." .”

Nodding his thanks to the servant, Roger opened the door of the laboratory and walked in.When Roger's hand touched the door of the laboratory, the complicated magic pattern on the door disappeared in a flash. It was obvious that he had triggered some kind of security system and passed the system's inspection.Of course, this is also very normal. The laboratory of a master alchemist must be heavily guarded. If everyone can enter casually, it will really become a hut.

The laboratory of the master alchemist looks like a mixture of a chemistry laboratory and a metallurgy laboratory on earth.There are many crystal vials of different shapes and sizes connected together by tubes of various thicknesses, as well as a burning crucible and a small anvil.There are also many devices that Roger has never even seen before, let alone know their names and uses.

All these devices were arranged in such a disorderly manner in the experiment that as soon as Roger came in, he found that he had almost no place to stay.Roger didn't dare to wander around in such a place, so he could only stand at the door and raise his voice: "Master BASF, I'm Roger Lee, and I'm invited to meet you!"

A young man with a thin figure and a sly look emerged from behind a bunch of weird devices. He immediately showed a happy expression after he glanced at Roger, and greeted him with a big smile: "Welcome, welcome, I'm a bit messy here. , I'm so sorry."

To be honest, the enthusiasm of this alchemy master surprised Roger a little. In his impression, the masters who have achieved high achievements in a certain field should all look like outsiders. They either only focus on research and ignore world affairs; The cool look is indifferent to everyone; or even though it is very kind, but a few unpredictable words come out from time to time, it makes people feel difficult to wear.And BASF laughed enthusiastically without saying a word, looking more like a passionate businessman than a master alchemist.

But when he thought of the rumors about BASF being a money fanatic, Roger was soon relieved, and his current performance was indeed in line with this character.

"There is a saying that time is money." Thinking of this, Roger was not polite, and said directly to BASF: "Master BASF, let's not waste money, let's get straight to the point!"

"Time is money, that's a good saying!" BASF nodded and said, "Let's be honest, I'm very interested in what you gave me. If you have more, I'm willing to exchange them with a suitable price."

Roger took out a piece of parchment and unfolded it in front of BASF: "I want the soul gem."

The magic pattern depicted on this piece of parchment contains about half of the contents of the magic pattern engraved on the puppet collar. Although it cannot fully reflect the full level of the alchemist Kasdandin Makarich, it is also true for other alchemists. Very tempting.

BASF confirmed with just one glance that the magic pattern on the parchment was indeed real.Although the function of the magic pattern is not clear for the time being, it will definitely gain a lot after getting it in hand and study it carefully, and it will also strengthen the idea of ​​​​making this deal with Roger.

However, in many respects, BASF is more like a businessman. Since it is inevitable to bargain when making a transaction, he immediately smiled and said: "The price of the soul gem is [-] gold coins. How about it, I will charge you [-]. You take this How about a piece of parchment for me?"

Roger was in a hurry to get the soul gem so that he could absorb the power of the soul to build the training ground. In fact, he didn't want to waste time haggling with BASF here.But right now he can't come up with such a large sum of money at all, so he can only hold back his temper and smile: "Master BASF, you are a master of alchemy, so you can naturally understand the value of these magic lines, so I won't say much. I just want to Let me emphasize, this magic pattern is the work of Master Makarich back then!"

Roger's words made BASF's eyebrows twitch, and his eyes became even hotter.Makarich is recognized as the most talented alchemy geek in history. If this magic pattern is really his work, it is worth [-] gold coins.

Thinking of this, Makarich carefully looked at the small piece of parchment that Roger had given him before, and then nodded slightly: "This magic pattern really has the style of Master Makarich, since it is like this... okay ,make a deal!"

Although BASF has a strong businessman's habit, it is precisely because of this that he can keenly perceive how much benefit the parchment in Roger's hand will bring him.With this benefit as a guarantee, a soul gem worth only [-] gold coins is naturally nothing.

"Master BASF really has vision." Roger praised the other party with a smile, and then handed over the parchment without hesitation.He has already come out. This alchemist is a big business man. Since the two parties have made an agreement, they will not go back on their word because of something worth [-] gold coins.

Roger's behavior surprised BASF a bit. He was taken aback for a moment before he took the parchment and said with a smile, "Okay, I didn't expect that Mr. Li is also a straightforward person. I'll make you my friend!"

After finally getting the precious parchment, BASF couldn't wait to get up immediately, but he quickly raised his head in disappointment and said, "This magic pattern is incomplete!"

"This is the work of Master Makarich. If it is the complete version, do you think I will only sell it for [-] gold coins?" Roger replied calmly, "But don't worry, I already know where it can be found." I may get the rest, and I will come to you when the time comes."

Seeing that BASF was so interested in this set of magic patterns, Roger had secretly decided to divide the remaining magic patterns into several parts and sell them to him, which would definitely bring him more benefits.

BASF was right when he thought about Roger's words. How could Makarich's magic pattern work be so easy to get, so he could only sigh softly: "Then we can talk about it, you get the other parts of the magic pattern It must be sold to me, and it cannot be sold to anyone else."

"It's a deal!" Roger simply agreed to BASF's condition, and then asked with a smile, "Then... when can I get the soul gem?"

"The soul gem is not a problem, we guarantee delivery within three months." BASF replied casually.

This answer immediately made Roger jump up, objecting loudly: "Not three months, it's too long!"
