Upper City, the renowned noble restaurant, Mosi Steakhouse.
Old man Reynolds was already seated and enjoying a tea when Lin Suo arrived, and he promptly asked the waiter to serve the food.
Grilled beef brisket.
Only one dish, the taste was not bad, but a bit too rare.
But it had a strange texture, not gamey, and the beef flavor was rich, biting into the junction between the fat and the meat.
It could almost melt your teeth.
Nevertheless, Lin Suo was unimpressed.
That’s it? I’d rather eat beef that has bathed in the first ray of morning light.
He loved Morning Light Beef!
"We’ve eaten and drunk, can you now tell me what you need help with?"
"Alright, follow me."
Reynolds Augustus didn’t carry the arrogance of a high circle wizard as he led him into a five-story luxury building.
Many high-end shoes were placed at the entrance.
Most were women’s, followed by children’s, and men’s shoes were the least but those sizes.
Lin Suo glanced sideways at Reynolds’ skinny frame, completely mismatched.
A certain suspicion crossed his mind.
Then he dismissed it.
This place of Reynolds was clearly an alchemy workshop. Alchemy is a grand discipline, especially since the legendary wizard Merlin, through alchemy, created the Wise Man’s Stone that could grant eternal life.
The development of alchemy had surged onto a freeway.
Over time, it had branched into Alchemy Magic Potion, Alchemy Mechanical Science, Alchemy Witchcraft, Alchemy Oddities, and Alchemy Bomb Study.
Five major alchemy schools.
The Goblin race, proficient in mechanics and bomb knowledge, often had small faults in their products, yet they remained incredibly practical.
And held high status in the Dan Dong Empire.
Some of the equipment here in Reynolds’ workshop were customized, and quite valuable.
This also indirectly proved his identity.
If successful, Lin Suo would definitely rely on him in the future.
"Young Rhein, take a look at this."
Lin Suo followed the sound and was immediately surprised.
"A Magic Energy Particle Separation Device?"
This thing, long renowned, a special product of the Goblins, was the core device for constructing the Element Pool, priced as high as five hundred thousand Magic Stones.
And one would need connections to purchase it.
"Old master, does the task you want to entrust me with relate to this machine?"
"Watch me operate it first."
Old Reynolds, with his bony, claw-like hands, despite usually shaking, was clear and steady when it mattered, confidently operating the device.
First, he charged the separation device, embedding five advanced Magic Stones into the base. As the machinery started, a unique Natural Element separated from the Magic Stones.
Magic Energy was itself a fusion of elemental energies.
The Magic Stones Lin Suo commonly used were low-level, containing Elemental Powers of earth, water, fire, and wind.
While advanced Magic Stones often held more diverse and unusual Elemental Powers.
For instance, the Natural Element that Reynolds separated, was likely the unique Moon Element of the ancient Elf King race, the Moon God Clan.
Seeing this, Lin Suo faintly guessed what Reynolds intended him to do.
Afterward, Reynolds took out a newly made Elf Talisman, infused it with Moon Power, guiding this power with spiritual power to form a certain secret rune, evolving them into a Moon God Talisman.
Lin Suo twitched the corner of his eye, taking the talisman from his hands.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
"Hehe, you guessed, didn’t you?"
"I have some conjectures, but dare not assume them to be true. Please enlighten me further, old man."
"Modest and reserved, good character, I am even tempted to take you as my disciple."
Lin Suo’s eyes lit up.
"Teacher above, I accept-"
"Hey hey, stop it, the old man doesn’t want to take on any more disciples."
"Look, can you spot anything amiss?"
Lin Suo could only focus on the Moon God Talisman, this item was too new indeed, and certainly had many issues, he couldn’t dare to deal with it negligently.
After all, this old man was not like any other old man, not just a Peak Apprentice like the president of the Nature Association.
A high-ranking Wizard treated him with respect. Although what was asked of him was not necessarily good, if Lin Suo dared to act carelessly, it would be a slap on the face he was given.
All in all, establishing a connection would be a big win.
"Old Master Reynolds, Lin Suo’s knowledge is limited, let me start with one or two points, and if you find them unacceptable, then let’s leave it."
Reynolds squinting his eyes and smiling, this was indeed a test.
Lin Suo began to point out the problems with the talisman.
"Old Master, look here, the talisman needs to bend 5 degrees, the back needs an engraved prayer, and there’s a Royal Seal missing here... The pattern here is actually a type of writing that needs to be altered."
The more Lin Suo spoke, the more shocked Reynolds became.
A few mistakes were indeed left by him.
But that the pattern was a type of writing was unexpected, his brows furrowed slightly as he couldn’t help interrupting.
"Lin Suo, what about this pattern?"
Lin Suo paused for a moment, and then explained.
"The Bloodline Talisman of the Royal Family of the Moon God, there are twelve in total, and this pattern is also different, not entirely the same."
"The Elves Royalty has a secret language passed down orally, different for each generation, what is written in this pattern is ’Moon God’s blessing, relic of the deep sea’."
"The twelve Moon God Talismans, each with distinct second half content."
"Hmm... If I’m not mistaken, this talisman should be used to guide to the location of Moon God Island."
"Good good good! Not bad."
"You are indeed remarkable."
Reynolds happily patted his shoulder. As for why Lin Suo knew the orally transmitted secret language, Reynolds didn’t ask, who doesn’t have secrets?
After all, he was dealing in unmentionable deeds, and he only wanted results.
"Make some modifications."
Lin Suo immediately began modifying with the tools in the workshop and quickly finished.
But he did not know the complete secret phrase of the talisman, he simply made one up.
As long as the content was different, even a descendant of the Moon God Royal Family could not identify any issues.
"Old man, since you are stronger, use this kind of writing for the secret text inside the talisman as well."
The two were busy all afternoon, Lin Suo proposed ideas, Reynolds did the practical work, the situation turned out much better than expected.
They made four Moon God Talismans in total.
What they were used for, Lin Suo knew clearly.
It was probably related to the last visit to the Nature Association, he had hinted to Deer Antler, guessing that the twelve Moon God Talismans were a clue.
Looking at Reynolds, it was clear he wanted to make a big profit.Eventually doing the aging of the item was left to the old man.
Lin Suo’s reward would have to wait. If there were no problems here, only then could he receive that portion of the harvest.
As for splitting it fifty-fifty, it was up to the old man how much they sold it for, not to mention fifty-fifty, even if it was nine for Lin Suo and one for the old man, the old man would definitely earn more.
Things came to a temporary conclusion.
Reynolds appreciated Lin Suo’s knowledge and offered him some other "legitimate business."
Such an outlaw beyond the law!
