Cursed Immortality

Chapter 229 Senior Grandmasters Meeting

?On the top floor of the Alchemy Guild's building,

Within a lavish meeting room, many dignified figures were sitting around a large rectangular table.

They were all wearing sky-blue robes with Alchemy Guild's sigil on their back, and the only difference was they had different badges on their chest. But these badges were also Golden in color.

The golden color badge represented only one status in the Alchemy Guild, the Status of a Senior Grandmaster!

These badges were of white, gray, yellow, iron, bronze, silver, and golden color. These seven color badges represent seven ranks present in the branches of the Alchemy Guild.

Starting from Apprentice Rank and all the way to the Senior Grandmaster Rank.

Furthermore, only in the dark city's Alchemy Guild did there exist this many Senior Grandmasters, and they were all the ones who had complete control over their respective departments and floors.

The only person absent was the most influential person of them all, the Senior Grandmaster Magic Smith, as he handles all the matters in the Inner Circle of Dark City and seldomly appeared in this place.

As for why these influential figures were gathered here at this moment…

An old elf with a golden pill badge sitting at the very front of the table solemnly spoke, "Gentlemen, as you might have received the news already, I'll still announce it to make it official.

"Just half an hour ago, a person with Star ID, Faceless Ancient, passed the test of Grandmaster Gunsmith. Not only that, but he wanted to take the test of a Senior Grandmaster Gunsmith right away!

"Please take a look at the information we collected on him. I have sent it to your star watches."

Many Senior Grandmasters' faces turned stern when they heard it because there wasn't many Senior Grandmaster present in the entire Rare Plains, and if one did emerge, they will draw the attention of the main Alchemy Guild right away.

Because the rank of a Senior Grandmaster represented the very pinnacle of a profession in Rare Plains, and anyone with such a capability could produce unimaginable treasures. Especially a Senior Grandmaster of the Gunsmith Profession.

They can produce weapons of mass destruction on a cartographic level scale, and that's why they were highly sought after, even more than a Senior Grandmaster Magic Smith. Because in Gunsmithing, there was only complex technology involved, not complex magic.

Lastly, the Alchemy Guild controlled the knowledge of every Senior Grandmaster level profession, and only the most talented personnel in the branch guild could learn them, but only after paying a steep price or earning merit.

Yet, now, this unknown person had appeared out of nowhere and declared he had the skills of a Senior Grandmaster Gunsmith. How could these Senior Grandmasters not be alarmed?

However, when they looked at the profile made after a background check, they were flabbergasted and their eyes winded in surprise because this person was registered in a Common Plains branch and he was so young they even suspected that he had hacked the star network to put all this information.

If they hadn't known it was impossible, they will definitely arrest him.

"Is it even possible for someone from the common plains to come here all the way despite being so young? Not to mention we are talking about the Dark City here. How did this person appear here, and just who is he?" A Senior Grandmaster with a golden potion vile badge exclaimed.

"Heh, look at his identity badge, 'Eight-Star Nightmare Knight,' do you still think he can't reach this place?" A Senior Grandmaster with a golden scroll badge snickered.

The old elf with a golden pill badge stated solemnly again, "I have personally talked with him, and according to him, he got an inheritance on an abandoned island in the Star Ocean, and that's where his knowledge came from.

"Even if that's just a cover-up, according to our policy, we can't question anyone as long as they don't break any rules of the guild. Nor can we pry into others' secrets if the person is a fellow guild member.

"Not to mention he had already acquired the Grandmaster Gunsmith Status in our rank, and he had already used his right to take the test of Senior Grandmaster Gunsmith every decade right now.

"We have to prepare the test within six hours after he used his chance, and if we delay, you all know the consequences. Lastly, you guys should all forget about scheming against him because he had a blood force of 899,999, and this is the limit of the very best device we had. It could be even higher!"

"What?!"

Some of the Senior Grandmasters' faces turned pale as they quickly threw all the strange thoughts in their mind after they heard about the 'inheritance' part.

They were not spooked about him being an Eight-Star Nightmare Knight. Then they were spooked after hearing about his blood force.

Because blood force represents another thing among the alchemists, it represents the potential of next-level evolution!

The easiest way to increase one strength or rank was to raise the blood force, and the alchemy guild naturally had more than enough ways to make an extraordinary bloodline epic by raising the blood force.

However, they were all precious to the extreme, and why would they waste such precious resources on old men like them who had already exhausted their potential and long past their primes?

On the other hand, this Faceless Ancient was still too young, and it was quite clear that he was extremely talented in the technology department. If his blood force is over 900,000, then the main guild won't mind paying a small price to raise his potential even further and take him to the Epic Plains!

This means if they offended him, they might be too pitiful to regret it later, and if they form a good relationship with him, then they will naturally reap the benefits.

Even if they won't get any physical benefits, just having the friendship of someone in the epic plains was more than enough.

So, their attitude instantly changed.

The old elf with a golden pill badge merely snickered as he knew more than enough was going through those old schemer's brains.

He then looked toward another female three seats away from him. She was extremely alluring and emitted a mature charm. She also wore the golden badge with the gunsmith sigil on her big meaty chest.

Likewise, she was the only Senior Grandmaster Gunsmith present in the Dark City, Golden Elf Rita.

He smiled amiably and said, "Miss Rita, according to the rule, you have to be the invigilator of the test, and you may choose any theme you see fit. What do you think?"

Rita had this cold and aloof air around her, but even she was shaken by the newcomer's potential as he looked at the profile with great interest.

Her cherry lips parted, and a melodious voice heard in the meeting room, "Then, I won't be holding back!"

A peculiar light shone in Rita's beautiful eyes as she zoomed at those icy cold amber eyes revealed behind the mask in the picture attached with the file!
