BXBX NOVEL Chapter 228 Magic Smith
There were massive letters on this building, \'Alchemy Guild,\' and there was the famous sigil of Alchemy Guild, the blazing red flame rising from an eight-legged golden cauldron.
In the Dark City, the branches of the Alchemy Guild, like Gunsmith, Apothecary, and Potion Alchemy, were not separated, and they were all combined into a single Alchemy Guild Building.
However, this didn\'t mean it was the true Alchemy Guild, and just like the Zodiac Warrior Alliance, they only had branches in rare plains, not their actual guild.
Nevertheless, they were top of Life Professions and reverted by many.
Although there was also guidance about these professions in the Zodiac Warrior Alliance Market, they didn\'t have facilities to practice them like the Alchemy Guild.
Furthermore, almost all the rare and precious knowledge, like potion formulas, weapon designs, and many more, were in the hands of the Alchemy Guild.
Lastly, the knowledge about the professions like Rune Artificers was also exclusive to the Alchemy Guild, and they didn\'t even exist in the Rare Plains.
What Jacob was here for was actually the Magic Smith profession, related to the Magic Weapon Crafting, which was another exclusive profession of the Alchemy Guild. He had already bought the complete manual from the champion space for 100,000 ZC.
What he lacked was the place to practice it and the materials, and unlike the Rune Artificers, the Magic Smith was actually taught in the Rare Plains, but it was not for anyone, and only people with the most talent could be Magic Smith.
Jacob had already grasped the basic of Magic Weapon Crafting, and he knew, like the Rune Artificers, it could also be practiced without magic as long as he had appropriate materials.
And he was extremely eager to practice it because the Magic Weapon Crafting was quite a delicate process, just like gunsmithing, and he had already got many ideas he wanted to experiment with.
That\'s why he didn\'t just remember the contents of the manual, but he wanted to practice them as well and assimilate this knowledge with his own. He knew he could go extremely far in this path, just like gunsmithing.
He had already seen magic-type guns in the champion shop, so he knew they could be made, and there might be blueprints of them in this place because the alliance market didn\'t.
That\'s why he came here, first thing.
Once he has achieved his goals and is prepared, he will leave the rare plains without wasting more time. As for other things, they won\'t interest him as long as they won\'t align with his goals.
The Dark City was the only place that could give him all this without having to worry about others\' schemes or getting dragged into some war.
The gates of the building were opened, and many people were going in and out in an orderly fashion.
Besides the normal membership, the Alchemy Guild here also sells their products and amasses a massive amount of wealth daily.
Jacob entered the building like everything and found himself in a large lobby with eighteen different elevators and queues of people in front of every single one of them.
Some queues were larger than others, while some were small, and no one dared to make a fuss about waiting.
Jacob then spotted a long glass counter in the center of this lobby, where beautiful tall ladies of the demi-human race were guiding the people who had questions.
He also joined the queue in front of the cat-ears woman, and it was quickly his turn.
The woman with cat ears smiled at Jacob and politely asked, "How may I help you today, Sir?"
"I want to learn Magic Weapon Crafting," Jacob stated his intentions.
\'Another one who didn\'t know his limit.\'
The cat-ears woman didn\'t seem to be surprised since she daily dealt with such people who were here to try their luck with the rarest profession in Rare Plains.
She smilingly replied, "You need to be Senior Grandmaster Blacksmith, Senior Grandmaster Gunsmith, Senior Grandmaster Mason, Senior Grandmaster Magic Watchsmith, and Senior Grandmaster Weapon Analyst. Do you have your identity proof with you, Sir?"
Jacob raised a brow when he heard the requirement just to learn the Magic Weapon Crafting.
There was no such knowledge about these requirements in the manual he possessed, and he could easily understand it as well as even craft an intermediate-rank magic weapon as long as he had designed without learning those professions. He was that confident.
\'What now, if I can\'t join a Magic Smith ranks, I can\'t enter the Magic Crafting Workshop…\' Jacob mused.
But he didn\'t give any reaction as he merely nodded toward the cat-ears woman and said, "Thank you for your information. Then, where I can take the test to increase my Gunsmith Rank?"
\'Hmm, he gave up easily. At least he knew his place and accepted it.\' She had a somewhat good impression of Jacob now.
"Please go to Floor-51. The Gunsmith Tests conduct there." She replied.
"Thank you." Jacob nodded and turned around to leave toward the elevator.
He suddenly heard the person standing behind passing a jeering remark.
"Hah, little shit wanted to become a Magic Smith without even having magic. What a bumpkin." The male voice wasn\'t loud, but many here were Extraordinaires, so they could easily hear him.
Many started snickering under their breath.
Jacob pretended as if he didn\'t hear anything and continued on his way toward the elevator. He really didn\'t mind since he had once gone through such boisterous remakes when he started his journey from nothing.
Thereupon, Jacob entered one of the eighteen elevators and headed toward floor-51.
While heading up, Jacob mused, \'I should first reevaluate my Gunsmith Rank and gain a gunsmith workshop before studying the last two encyclopedias, the Universal Magical Materials (Type-1) and Universal Beings [Living & Dead] (Type-1) in my possession.\'
His lips rose in a cold smile, \'So, what if they won\'t give me access to the Magic Smith Workshop, there\'s always someone who is short on money. I just need to find them. There\'s no time to waste on rules when I can break them!\'
