Arad's Sword

Chapter 440 Alchemy Mission
"There are five recommended places, corresponding to the five core children of the family, that is, the top five among the one hundred warriors." Hawke explained lightly, "These five may not be the five with the strongest fighting power. But they must have their own strengths, and it is impossible for the five people who are considered to be the most capable of obtaining the qualification of Black Dragon Fighter to replace them."

The reason why Hawke told Midi in such detail was because he had vaguely guessed Midi's thoughts.

If you don't want to get a recommended quota, with Midi's current strength, there is no need to come to the family mission hall immediately on the first day before the distributed resources are used up, or even before they are available.

However, according to Hawke's judgment, even if Midi came here to complete some difficult tasks to prove himself, it would be meaningless at all.

Because the judgment level of ordinary warriors and the core children of the family is not at the same level at all!

Even if Midi can be said to be first-class at the level of ordinary warriors, judging from the standards of the core children of the family, it can only be described as "not popular".

And in the mission hall, those missions that are really difficult will hardly be released, so even if Midi picks them up, it will only waste this month's preparation time.

Seeing that Midi nodded and didn't speak, Hawke didn't know what the other party was thinking.

He sighed, and in order to further dispel Midi's thoughts, he added: "Among the five core children of the family, the lowest is level 64, and the highest has reached the level of 65, even stronger than me. In the wild, even for such a powerful monster as the Direclaw Scorpion, these core disciples have the ability to kill it alone!"

"It's really strong." Midi admitted that he himself has the best experience of how terrifying the Dreadclaw Scorpion is.

However, what Midi didn't say is that although the Dreadclaw Scorpion is indeed powerful, it actually has a lot of weaknesses. For an adventurer who is familiar with its habits, he can even eliminate the Dreadclaw Scorpion without bloodshed.

Hawke didn't know what Midi was thinking of, he just thought he had impressed Midi, and hurriedly continued: "Besides, this kind of combat ability is just a part of these core disciples. These five people have their own specialties, and they are by no means simple. A warrior who only knows how to fight is an extremely qualified adventurer, so I advise you not to have any other ideas."

Obtaining one of these five places is extremely difficult.

It is even more difficult for an alien human being to obtain.

As for squeezing out a family genius and then taking the position by himself, this is absolutely impossible.

Hawke had already made up his mind in his heart, but he felt that when it came to this point, Midi should already be able to understand what he meant.

After all, the other party is not the type with a single-minded temper.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Hawke's narration, Midi smiled lightly: "Thank you very much for Mr. Hawke's explanation, but I still have to go to this family mission hall."

Hawke's face suddenly became a little dumbfounded because of this sentence.

But at the next moment, Midi suddenly changed the subject, and said: "Mr. Hawke, you may have misunderstood, although the number of recommended places is indeed eye-catching, but I don't think it is enough to go to the mission hall to pick up a few missions." I can get that kind of quota. The reason why I went there was to see if there is a suitable alchemy task."

"What? Alchemy mission?" Hawke thought for a moment that he had heard it wrong.

At the level of the big family, it is naturally impossible to limit the tasks to the most basic exploration, collection and killing monsters like the small tarantula tribe. In addition to combat tasks, of course there are also various production tasks. There will even be diplomatic missions to negotiate with other families and forces.

From the very beginning, Midi was aiming at the alchemy task.

Whether it's a tribe or a city, or for a big family like the Death Scorpion, alchemists are a scarce resource.

Therefore, Midi intends to start from this aspect.

He still only understands the branch of pharmacy, and is temporarily unable to make a difference in mechanical alchemy, which is concerned by the high-level family. However, this does not mean that he can only stay still.

On the contrary, Midi can manage to enter the alchemy workshop of the Death Scorpion through her specialty of pharmacy, and then, through learning step by step, she can demonstrate stronger alchemy!

In addition, taking a step back, even if Midi's alchemy really couldn't help him get the recommended quota, the medicines he refined were enough for him to upgrade.

At that time, even if he can only participate in the selection of fighters, his strength will surely increase a lot.

That's why Midi made this decision.

Refining a lot of potions, improving your own strength, making a lot of contributions, and finally, looking for opportunities to get advanced ranks, if you fail, you can participate in the selection of fighters!

But obviously, Hawke was extremely surprised by this.

A warrior who is good at fighting can be an adventurer who masters many skills, but it is quite difficult to become an alchemist with profound knowledge.

Not to mention the melee department like Midi, even many legal professions that have to read a lot of books may not be familiar with alchemy.

After all, a qualified alchemist, even if he only masters one pharmacy, needs a lot of rare materials to feed him.

Without practice, it is not enough to understand theory.

And Midi doesn't look like a person who spends all day refining potions in an alchemy workshop.

"Midi, the alchemy task of the Death Scorpion is not easy. Only a true alchemist can complete it. Don't take it lightly just because you can make some low-level potions." Hawke said earnestly.

But this time, he didn't say anything dead.

After all, Hawke is also very curious about the degree of alchemy that Midi has mastered.

Even if the opponent's level is only enough to refine general blood coagulation potions, it is enough to make him stand out from the crowd.

After all, this is no ordinary alchemist, but a very capable alchemist. This kind of extra skill naturally adds a lot of points.

"Thank you for reminding me, but I think we should take a look at what the released mission is like before making any plans." Midi nodded and replied.

Before the two of you came and went, they had already arrived at the family mission hall.

This is a huge stalagmite that has been hollowed out, and it is divided into three layers.

On each floor, there is a huge magic circle, projecting different tasks on the huge spider silk curtain for the recipients to inquire and choose.

On the other side, there is a counter for task settlement.

Of course, the real quest rewards are collected in another stalagmite, which is very similar to the Tarantula Tribe, which has a special liquidation room.

Here, most of the combat missions are placed on the first floor, and those marked in red are highly difficult combat missions, which generally require a team to complete.

Midi glanced at it casually, and saw a mission to hunt down the Dreadclaw scorpion and obtain its heart.

However, his trip was not for this purpose.

Midi went directly to the second floor. This floor is all about production, diplomacy, and other non-combat tasks.

There is no shortage of setting up magic circles, checking the magic defenses of caves, building weapons, enchanting weapons, and so on.

Of course, the most common ones are alchemy tasks, especially the potion refining tasks of the pharmacy branch.

This is exactly what Midi wanted.

There are many tasks, which naturally means that there must be some demanding and difficult tasks.

He wanted to use this kind of mission to try to gain the approval of the death scorpion's alchemy studio, just like the approval of Tarantula's master alchemist Sherlock.

Then, as long as you become a member of the workshop, the benefits are naturally needless to say.

However, just as Midi was concentrating on finding the most suitable task for him, two dark elves, a man and a woman, happened to come down from the third floor.

The third floor is where the difficult missions are released. You must have the qualifications of a warrior and have accumulated a certain amount of family contribution points before you can enter it.

Obviously, these two dark elves have extraordinary identities.

Hawke, who was looking at Midi, immediately recognized the two of them.

That male dark elf was one of the five core children of the family, the fifth-ranked Kanis.

And that female dark elf has an even higher status, she is one of the three black dragon high priests of the Death Scorpion, Verna who has climbed to a high position at a young age!
Martial arts masters are basically equal when they meet core disciples, but when they see the black dragon high priest, they have to take the initiative to say hello.

In a big family like the Death Scorpion, the ranks are extremely clear, and the rules are even more clear.

As soon as Hawk saw Verna, he was about to step forward, but unexpectedly, the other party came over first, with a look of curiosity on his face.

Because the existence of Midi is really a bit conspicuous, it is impossible not to notice it.

After all, Midi is human, a "creature with round ears," in the Underdark parlance.

Not only that, but next to this "creature with round ears", Hawke, one of the three major martial arts masters who accompanied the Death Scorpion.

How can this not make people curious?
Of course, it's okay for ordinary people to be curious. After all, the majesty of a martial art master should not be offended lightly. Even if they wanted to ask, they didn't dare to really ask. They could only focus on this.

But obviously, Verna and Kanis are not among them.

"Who is he?" Verna spoke first.

Women's curiosity is always the strongest, just as Midi first attracted Galantis, at this moment, he also made the black dragon high priest feel unprecedented curiosity.

"A human being..." Facing the high priest of the black dragon who was much more respected than himself, Hawke had to start from the beginning.

Anyway, he just reported the situation of the bonfire party to the senior family members just now, and now he just repeated it again, so the order is very clear.

However, as the narration deepened, the curiosity on Verna's face did not decrease but increased. She even interrupted Hawke's narration many times to ask questions about the human being Midi.

Many of them, even Hawk himself didn't know, so he could only deal with them sloppily.

This kind of perfunctory made Verna very dissatisfied.

But at this moment, the one who is most dissatisfied is Kanis, one of the core children of the family.

As one of Verna's suitors, Kanis, who has a high self-esteem, is naturally extremely displeased that the other party is now focusing on men other than himself, and he is still a human being?
