Now that there were two Level 6 Royal Nagas, Mas’ own safety increased by a few levels.
When Mas finished refining the two Thunder Nagas, he discovered an awkward problem. He did not seem to have enough alchemy materials to refine other alchemical creatures.
Although he still had a lot of alchemy materials left, Mas only planned to focus on alchemical creatures and armor.
However, there were basically no high-grade ores or metals in the three boxes of materials that Belek had sent over, so the choice of armor could be temporarily eliminated.
As for the alchemical creature, he did not have a high-grade corpse. The only remaining Level 6 alternative dragon was not enough to use this corpse yet.

“This isn’t a solution either. The next time I see that guy, Belek, I’ll have to get him to prepare more precious metals and ores that are comparable in quality,” Mas thought to himself.
Next, it was time to solve the problem of the elf sisters. Mas took out the formula for the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir from his alchemy space and carefully looked at the required ingredients.
In the end, Mas discovered that the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir was indeed a shame of Level 5. Other than the core alchemical materials used to refine high-grade Level 5 fire-attribute magic crystals, the other alchemical materials were all ordinary Level 4 alchemical materials. He just happened to be able to gather a set of refining materials.
Without further ado, Mas immediately took out the alchemy materials he needed from his personal space and placed them on the Creator’s alchemy table.
The refinement process was very smooth without any suspense. With a flash of light, a thumb-sized, round, fiery-red elixir appeared in the center of Mas’ palm. This was the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir that could treat Sha You’s Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Although the materials required for alchemy were of average rarity, the quality was worthy of its status as a Level Five alchemy pill.
“Sha You, Leah, I need to talk to you. You can come to the top floor to look for me now.” Mas shouted to the two sisters through the alchemy voice transmission device.
Soon, the two sisters reached the top floor through the alchemy transmission channel.
When the two sisters saw the Royal Naga standing respectfully to the side, they were both stunned!
They had also seen the two Naga corpses Belek had given them on the first floor. As elves, they naturally knew the identity of the Naga, but why were the two corpses turned into alchemical creatures?
As two advanced Level 4 mages, they could clearly feel the magical waves emanating from the two Nagas. This frequency was at least a high-grade Level 5 or Level 6!
For a moment, the two sisters were shocked by Mas’ alchemy talent!
The two girls looked at Mas with more awe.
“You’re here. I have something for you.”
After saying that, Mas handed the pill to Sha You.
Sha You subconsciously caught it and looked at the item in her hand. When she saw it clearly, Sha You’s entire body trembled with excitement. Two streams of tears flowed down her charming eyes. How could she not recognize the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir that she had been thinking about day and night!
“Sir Mas, thank you…”
Before she could finish, Mas waved her off.
“There’s no need to thank me. I’ve already agreed to refine this medicinal pill for your treatment. As for repayment, work hard for me!”
“Thank you, Lord Mas. I will never forget your kindness!” Sha You bowed respectfully to Mas.
Leah also jumped up excitedly and hugged and kissed Mas. She looked at him gratefully. “Thank you, brother Mas. This disease that has plagued us for so many years has finally been cured!”
At this moment, the system notification sounded.
[Congratulations, Guest. Sha You’s loyalty has reached 100. She will never betray you.]

[Congratulations, host. Leah’s loyalty has reached 100, and she will never betray you again.]

A faint smile appeared on Mas’ face. As the manager of a department in his previous life, he naturally knew how to control people. He had achieved his goal, and now Leah and Sha You were his ultimate trusted subordinates.
With a wave of his right hand, Mas placed the materials needed to engrave magic runes on the table.
“I’m sorry, Sha You, Leah, but you two will be busy for a while. There are a total of ten rune turrets around the Alchemy Tower, and you’ll need to carve a lot of magical runes to fill the gap,” instructed Mas.
“Don’t worry, Sir (Brother) Mas. The two of us will definitely try our best to engrave magic runes. We definitely won’t disappoint you!” Seeing the two sisters guarantee in unison, Mas nodded and did not say anything else.
Then, he put the two royal Nagas into the Alchemy Space and passed the transmission channel to the hall on the first floor. He then used a voice transmission device to call Walter and Reason down and left the Alchemy Tower with them again.
Mas planned to make a trip to the Trun Kingdom near the Gloom Forest to purchase something.
The Trun Kingdom, which was a vassal of the Storm Empire, was located not far west of the Gloom Forest.
In his memory, Swoks used to buy alchemy materials and food in the Trun Kingdom.
On this trip, Mas only brought three Red Crystal Gargoyles to ride on, while the remaining Red Crystal Gargoyles stayed behind to guard the Alchemy Tower. After all, he still had two trump cards, the Royal Nagas, left in the Alchemy Space. Mas was not worried about the invasion of the thieves.

Trun Kingdom, a country famous for its long-handled weapons and martial prowess.
The top-ranked experts in this kingdom were all experts who used long-handled weapons. The more famous one was the kingdom’s Grand General, Noel. His spearmanship had reached the acme of perfection, and he was an advanced Level 5 expert. It was only a matter of time before he broke through to Level 6.
The Trun Kingdom was extremely unfriendly to mages and did not have any famous mages. However, the Trun Kingdom had an elite special forces team that was famous even in the Rotterdam Continent—the Spear Throw Legion. The weapons they threw were not ordinary spears but alloy spears made from rare minerals. Furthermore, they were beginner Level 4 spears enchanted by magic rune engravers.
The long-range attack power of this unit was much stronger than that of the average Level 4 Mage unit.
When Mas and the other two saw the walls of the Trun Kingdom, they jumped off the Red Crystal Gargoyle and walked towards the Trun Kingdom.
If he were to fly in the airspace of other kingdoms, he would probably be tired of living. He did not want to use his body to test the power of the spears.
In the two months of learning from Swoks, Mas had come to the Trun Kingdom alone several times.
As an apprentice alchemist, it was only natural for him to help Swoks with buying materials and food.
Mas arrived at the Trun Kingdom’s food supply station with ease. He bought a large number of staple food, rice and noodles, followed by vegetables and meat.
Just purchasing these ingredients alone cost Mas nearly 30,000 gold coins, but these were all indispensable.
Especially with Harry, the big eater, around, he had to be prepared.
After buying these things, Mas found a shop selling ores and metals by asking passers-by. He planned to buy some ores and precious metals to refine armor.
Without these ores and metals, it would be impossible to make use of Harry and Walter’s skills. Then, he would have wasted so much money hiring them.
The lowest grade inferior ores were not considered expensive in the Trun Kingdom. Compared to the outside world, it was at least 20% cheaper. One kilogram only cost one gold coin. Red Crystals and other ores of the same grade were considered high-end alchemical materials. Mines like these normally would not be sold. Although they were also ores, they were too valuable and had to be purchased by special merchant associations.
Currently, Mas had quite a lot of gold coins on him. In addition to the one million gold coins gold coins card that Belek had given him previously, the gold coins of the Storm Empire could be exchanged in the territory of the Storm Empire.
Mas bought four inferior ores, each weighing ten thousand kilograms, as well as specialized tools for refining and purifying ores.
With these ores, he believed that Walter and Harry could provide him with many high-level ores and essences.
