The meeting concluded, and Lu Heng and his group descended from the top floor of the Magic Tower.
As they walked down the spiral staircase, Lu Heng looked around each corridor they passed and discovered some interesting places.
Though he couldn't see the full extent of each level of the Magic Tower, the length of the corridors suggested that the area of each level decreased the lower they went.
That is to say, the top level had the largest area, while the bottom level was the smallest.
From the outside, the situation appeared to be just the opposite.
Therefore, Lu Heng had a peculiar idea: perhaps the top of the Magic Tower was actually the first floor, and the bottom was the topmost floor.
In other words, the interior space of the Magic Tower might be inverted.
Only in a world infused with magic energy could such marvelous phenomena occur.
After emerging from the Magic Tower, the group asked an Elf Guard for directions to the Gem Workshop in the West District and then proceeded along the city roads to Kolos City's Gem Workshop.
The Gem Workshop was located in the North City District, which was Kolos City's industrial district. Workshops for Vice Professions such as forging, engraving, quenching, sewing, and Array production were all located in the North City District.
Lu Heng led the team into the Gem Workshop, found an Elf Master there, displayed the Magic Tower Badge, and explained their purpose.
With the high prestige of the Great Arcanist Augustus among the Elf Clan, the Elf Masters showed respect and saluted upon seeing the Magic Tower Badge, then indicated they could visit freely.
After looking around, Su Muyu soon found the craftsman with the highest Engraving Skills in the workshop and sat down to learn the techniques of Engraving.
Rong Xincheng and the others also observed the workshop, trying to acquire a Vice Profession.
Acquiring a Vice Profession also depended on Talent, and not everyone could gain one simply by coming into contact with a Vocational Master.
So, while Lu Heng only brought them into the workshop, whether they could obtain the Engraver Vice Profession was a matter of their own fortune.
As everyone else found their spots, Lin Zeyu nudged Lu Heng with his hand and whispered, "Take me to the Forging room to have a look."
Although he had told Augustus that he wanted to learn Engraving, now that he was here, learning a few more Skills wouldn't make much difference.
The Masters here were unlikely to go to the Magic Tower to verify this with Augustus just because of this matter.
Thus, Lu Heng led Lin Zeyu out of the Gem Workshop to the Forging room; after showing the Magic Tower Badge, they let Lin Zeyu in to observe and learn.
Seeing this operation, Xie Shi'en raised an eyebrow and said, "On our way here, I saw the Array production workshop. How about..."
He pointed his hand toward the place they had just come from.
"Sure," replied Lu Heng as he led him to the Array production workshop to observe.
Whether he could obtain the Vice Profession was now up to his own abilities.
The Vice Profession at the Array production workshop was [Array Talisman Master], which was a profession that could provide a tangible increase to Combat Power.
To be precise, most Vice Professions could enhance Combat Power.
A Forging Master could forge high-Level weapons, which would increase Combat Power.
An Engraver could create Rune Gems that could be turned into jewelry, thus enhancing Combat Power.
The same was true for a Quenching Master.
However, the Combat Power provided by these Vice Professions was not only effective for the individual; forging weapons, Engraving Rune Stones, and Quenching could all help others enhance their Combat Power.
The Array Talisman Master was slightly more unique, producing Array Stone Talismans used for setting up Arrays.
One needed a certain foundation to use the Array Stone Talismans to set up an Array.
This was different from using weapons, which could be wielded immediately upon acquisition.
With Array Stone Talismans, not everyone would know how to use them.
Therefore, Array Talisman Masters generally made Array Stone Talismans for their own use.
Of course, even if one was not an Array Talisman Master, understanding some basic uses of Array Stone Talismans could still allow for setup, albeit one would have to follow the Magic Array Diagram and, without the necessary knowledge, could not adjust to unique situations.
As a result, once the Array Talisman Master was established, Superpower Users usually regarded it as a profession with Combat capabilities.
Arrays set up by Array Talisman Masters tended to cover a large area.
For instance, the altar needed for the Witch Demon transformation ritual was also part of the Array Talisman Master system.
Setting up an Array usually required a bit of time, and its effectiveness in skirmishes was limited.
After Xie Shi'en entered the Array production workshop, Lu Heng turned and headed for the Quenching Workshop.
Since he was there and had the opportunity to improve his Quenching Skills, it was an opportunity not to be missed.
The Elf Clan was one of the Species in the Abyss World whose craftsmanship traditions were the most ancient.
These Vocational Skills had been passed down for thousands of years, with a profound heritage, and there was much to learn.
After showing the Magic Tower Badge, Lu Heng entered the Quenching Workshop to observe the work of the Quenching Masters inside.
In the Quenching Workshop, there were not many Elf Clan Quenching Masters who had higher Skills than Lu Heng.
Because Lu Heng was already an [Advanced Quenching Master], with his Vice Profession experience reaching (2500/3000), he was not far from advancing to the next Level.
The Advanced Quenching Master Level had the highest number of participants.
Thus, the majority of Elf Clan Quenching Masters in the workshop also held this Level.
Since Lu Heng was at the same Level as these Elf Clan Quenching Masters, the effect of observation and learning was quite average.
Therefore, after making a round in the Quenching Workshop, Lu Heng finally saw a Quenching Master with higher Quenching Skills.
This Quenching Master was in the midst of the Spirit Injection process, and Lu Heng walked up and nodded to him, then stood aside to watch.
