That's a fake elf

Serra, who had been blackmailed, glared at Li Ang fiercely and began to rummage through the alchemy workshop.

Soon, a bright music box inlaid with dozens of gems was carefully placed on the table by her.

"What is this?" Li Ang asked in confusion.

"The key to unlock it." Sierra pointed at the [Mysterious Suitcase] and said solemnly.

"Don't tell me that it is conscious and needs to be awakened by music?" Li Ang's mouth twitched.

When he was at sea, he had tried various methods to open it. No matter whether it was smashing it with knives or axes, or using fire and lightning strikes, they were all ineffective against it.

He had also suspected that this thing, like some legendary equipment and artifacts, had a soul, but he used his mental power to communicate with it dozens of times, but in the end there was no response.

Only then did Li Ang confirm that this thing was an ordinary suitcase made of Urugin, which could only be used as a shield at most.

"Do you still want to hear the origin of this thing?" Sierra said angrily.

"You said it, we are listening."

"My ancestor Rozen Elric once tried to create a doll with a perfect soul, but no matter what method he used, he failed until he met an unknown god."

Sierra sat in front of the music box and [Mysterious Suitcase], coughed twice, and said solemnly:

"That god allowed my ancestor to repair a weapon at the cost of knowledge."

"Repairing the artifact is a great challenge for my ancestors."

"He spent countless days and nights and finally succeeded in repairing it, but its power was greatly reduced, which attracted the revenge of the gods."

"Before dying, the ancestor used the knowledge taught by the gods to divide his soul into seven parts, and injected them into the seven Alice dolls he carefully made, and then locked them in a suitcase made by Ulujin and sent them to Entered a secret realm.”

"According to the ancestor's original plan, the seven Alice dolls he carefully crafted will gradually wake up after absorbing enough energy, and then actively find the descendants of the Elric family to perform the resurrection ceremony."

"But for some reason, this secret realm suddenly broke into seven parts, and the suitcase containing the Alice doll disappeared."

"Even though the Elric family searched for many years, they only found three suitcases."

"The Elric family is still planning to resurrect their ancestors?"

After so many things, Li Ang is no longer a novice who knows nothing about the soul. He knows very well how much it costs to let a person who has been dead for thousands of years return to the world again.

"Yes." Sera nodded and said with a wry smile:

"The Elric family has been making two preparations over the years."

"On the one hand, we actively recover the suitcase and use Alice's doll technology to create perfect dolls and golems."

"On the other hand, they are also creating a perfect female body, trying to fuse the soul fragments in the Alice doll, so that the ancestors can be resurrected in the descendants."

"My sister and I are witches created by our family."

"If it weren't for the protection of mothers and teachers, we might have been reduced to reproductive tools."

"..." Li Ang took a deep look at Sera and finally understood why this girl lived in Pegliano with her sister and refused to return to the Mage Alliance.

"I told you the story about this suitcase, can you sell it to me?" Sierra asked with expectation.

"After you get this thing, do you want to use it for research?" Li Ang asked curiously.

"It would be false to say that you are not curious about the Alice doll's technology." Sera nodded and said:

"Today's top golems in the Mage Alliance, Puppet Dragon, Crystal Dragon, Storm Titan, and Greedy Hydra, all have its shadow."

"A low-status family member like me has no way of accessing the body of the Alice doll."

"You, the Alice doll in the suitcase, are my only chance."

"If I can research something, maybe I can use it as capital to negotiate with the family and get some information about my father."

"I will give you the money to make the simulation doll, and the style will be in accordance with the standards of ordinary human women." Seeing Sera's happy face, Li Ang rolled his eyes and continued:

"But I can't sell the Alice doll to you. The most I can do is let you conduct research on it."

"Are you serious?" Sierra was shocked and said in disbelief.

As one of the highest achievements of ancient alchemy, the Alice doll is a treasure coveted by countless alchemists. Leon actually let her study it without charging any fees.

If other alchemists knew this, they would be jealous to death.

"Of course, I don't mind if you use the research results as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the family, but you have to share this research information with me." Li Ang nodded, a light flashing in his eyes.

The technology of simulated dolls should also be separated from the Alice doll.

Once the Hall of Heroes is built in the Emerald Dream, he can pull out a batch of heroic spirits from the branches of the World Tree.

With the support of the technology on the Alice doll, he would soon be able to produce powerful warriors that could move in the material world.

"Research costs money..." Sera looked at Li Ang longingly.

"I paid for this money. As long as it is a reasonable expenditure, you can communicate with Gao Lan in the future." Li Ang said with a smile.

Gao Lan on the side frowned slightly when he heard this, trying to stop Li Ang's extravagance, but seeing Li Ang's expression and thinking of the heavy burden on him, he nodded.

"Researching puppet technology is not a matter of more than 20 or [-] gold coins." Sera curled her lips and said with disdain:

"You are just a minor noble now. Even if you have a noble status, you probably won't be able to mobilize the money of the Pegliano royal family, right?"

"Don't worry, I have plenty of gold coins, but I need to spend them wisely." Li Ang waved his hand, and a small mountain of gold coins immediately appeared on the ground. At a glance, there were at least 10,000+.

"Wow, so many gold coins... Ouch."

As soon as she saw the small mountain of gold coins, Sierra rushed forward impatiently. Unexpectedly, the gold coins disappeared without a trace in the next second, causing her to hit her head on the table with tears in her eyes.

"You don't doubt my financial resources now, do you?" Li Ang said with a smile.

"No doubt, no doubt, um, can you advance me a little money, not too much, just fifty thousand gold coins." Sera hugged Li Ang's thigh, looked up at Li Ang, and said pitifully.

"What do you want so much money for?" Gao Lan said coldly.

"My mother owed a large amount of money to the merchant association in order to redeem my sister and me from the family. Over the years, the interest has been compounded, which is almost [-] to [-] yuan."

Seeing Gao Lan's gloomy face, Sera quickly explained:

"I borrowed this money. You can deduct it from my and my sister's salary in the future. When it is repaid, when we resign, we can make a contract."

"What do you think?" Li Ang turned his head to Gao Lan.

"You can make your own decision." Gao Lan didn't know much about the hiring price of alchemists in Enros continent.

"Okay, according to the market price, the annual salary of a senior alchemist is 5000 gold. As for your sister..." Looking at Sera's pitiful expression, Li Ang said in a deep voice:

"I'll give you a package price. You and your sister will work for me together. I'll give you 7000 a year."

"This is too little!" Sera stood up suddenly, took out a lot of patents and medals from the bookshelf nearby, and argued with reason:

"I am a high-level alchemist and astrologer who has received many patents from the Mage Alliance."

"My sister has also won the runner-up in the Noble Arena of the Warriors Festival. She is well-known in both the Freemen's Association and the Merchant Association."

"Our combined total is at least 10000."

"8000, no more."

"8500, you can't find twin sisters who can fight, resist, breastfeed, and are so eye-catching even if you hold a lantern in Pegliano." Serra puffed out her small chest and said proudly. .

"I don't know if I can breastfeed, but I'm sure I can blow." Li Ang lowered his head, glanced at the pink-haired girl's little apple, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Ah, pervert!" Sierra blocked her chest, took a few steps back, and pouted:

"You're already peeking at me. I want to raise the price to 9000."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I saw it there, so don't rant." Feeling Gao Lan's cold gaze, Li Ang shuddered and quickly denied it.

"Just 8500. I hope you and your sister are worth the price." Gao Lan pinched the soft flesh of Li Ang's waist hard and looked at Sera with a smile on his face, a cold light flashed in his eyes:

"But I hope to add a condition. If you can't make any achievements within a year, then I will reduce your salary by 10%."

"No problem. If I perform well, can I get a salary increase?" Sierra's eyes sparkled.

"If you can produce good research results." Gao Lan nodded.

"Okay!" Sierra was so happy that she stepped on the metal part on the ground and leaned forward suddenly.

Seeing this, Li Ang instinctively stretched out his hands to help, but he instantly pressed down on a pair of small apples.

In an instant, the overwhelming murderous aura sent chills all over Li Ang's body.

"Ah, I'm innocent." Sera, who was frightened by the killing intent, huddled under the table like a hamster, holding her head and trembling.

"I...I mean if...I didn't mean it, Gao...Gao Lan, can you forgive me?" Li Ang, who was forced into the corner, looked at his black hair flying in the wind, and his whole body transformed Gao Lan, a Rakshasa, was so frightened that he could hardly speak.

"No."

"Ouch, ouch, don't pinch it, it's going to break, it really is going to break, I was wrong."
