The Last Alchemist

When Vincent arrived at the entrance of the garden, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Miss Adele's eyes were red, and there was a girl standing next to her who looked unfamiliar. Judging from her short robe and tight pants, she should be a student of Nilogard. She is very likely Adele's friend Hill.

Hill's face was cold, and his eyes swept over Vincent, which seemed to be cold and chilly, making Vincent feel uncomfortable.

After taking a few steps closer, Vincent bowed and saluted: "It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Adele."

After that, he nodded to Hill again.

'Hmph~' Hill turned his head away.

Adele's attitude was okay. She smiled and asked, "Vincent, are you bringing me the wand?"

"Of course."

Vincent took out the ebony box in his arms, held it in both hands, and carefully placed it on the stone table: "Miss Adele, the wand is in the box."

Hill turned his head quietly and saw that the surface of the ebony box was decorated with various gems, including crystals, jade, rubies and sapphires. She snorted coldly: "The box is made exquisitely. These gems must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Vincent clearly felt Hill's hostility. He was not stupid. He guessed the reason after a little thought. He was probably regarded as a liar by this girl.

He naturally would not argue with Hill. He smiled and said, "An excellent wand must have a decent box."

"Wand? Are you a businessman qualified to sell wands?!" Hill couldn't help it anymore and said directly.

Vincent still smiled: "I am a businessman, but this wand is not made by me, but by a hidden alchemist. I am just selling it on his behalf. Miss Adele, why don't we find a place to test the power of this wand?"

The reason why he is called a hidden alchemist is because of Rosen's instructions. Rosen's consideration is that he is too young and has no fame, so it is difficult to sell his things at a high price. Vincent completely agrees with this.

"Okay, okay. Is it here?" Adele can't wait.

Vincent looked embarrassed: "Miss Adele. The alchemist told me that it is very difficult to make this magic wand, so the magic solidified on the magic wand is not offensive magic, but a soft light spell. You know, soft light spell is not very clear under the sun."

"Soft light spell, haha." Hill couldn't help laughing, she turned to Adele and said: "Did you hear that? Vincent has no common sense of magic at all. I think he must think it is easy to cast soft light spell."

In fact, offensive magic is very useful for magicians, and powerful attack magic like flash is a must-have when going out. However, in terms of the difficulty of casting, soft light spell is ten times more difficult than the former.

On the magic list of Nirogard Academy, soft light spell is rated as three-star magic, while flash spell is only one-star magic.

The reason is easy to explain, because soft light spell is a kind of fire magic. The power of flame is violent, unrestrained, and naturally aggressive. The soft light technique requires the magician to restrain the power of flame within a very small range and to increase the temperature of the flame as much as possible, which requires very advanced spellcasting skills.

Adele was also a little embarrassed, but Vincent was her sweetheart, and she really didn't want to believe that he was lying to her. After thinking about it, she said, "Then go to the hall, I'll ask the servants to draw all the curtains."

"As you wish." Vincent nodded in agreement.

"Very good." Hill had no objection either, she was waiting to see Vincent laugh.

Soon, the three of them came to the hall of the Earl's Mansion from the garden. Several maids drew all the curtains and closed the doors tightly, leaving no gaps. The hall suddenly became as dark as at night.

In order to see the things in the hall a little more clearly, Adele had to ask the maid to light a candlestick.

After everything was ready, Vincent opened the ebony box, carefully took out the wand, and held it to Adele with both hands: "Please."

Adele exclaimed in surprise: "Is this my wand? It's so beautiful."

Even if this wand can't cast spells, just the appearance and exquisite craftsmanship are enough to make Adele like it. Hill, who was standing by, also saw it. She reminded lightly: "You will work hard on the appearance, but don't forget, this is a wand!"

Adele turned around and asked Vincent: "How should it be used?"

Vincent pointed to the handle and smiled: "Look here, this is the grip, yes, it's here, hold it firmly?"

"Hold it firmly."

"Now, hold it tightly!"

Adele took a deep breath and exerted a little force with her palm. Then, she vaguely felt the handle of the wand sink slightly inward. At the same time, the milky white crystal on the top of the wand began to shine brightly.

A moment ago, there was only flickering candlelight in the hall, dim and flickering, which made people's eyes uncomfortable.

The next moment, the hall was filled with milky white light, and everything and every corner were illuminated clearly. Under this light, the candlelight was almost invisible.

"It's so bright!" Adele stared at the milky white crystal at the tip of the wand with disbelief.

"This, this." Apprentice magician Hill couldn't help but raise his hand to block the light, but couldn't help but observe the wand through his fingers.

Vincent had expected this result long ago, because he had experienced the same shock not long ago.

It took a while before Adele came back to her senses, but she still held the wand tightly. She turned to look at Vincent with tears in her eyes: "Vincent, thank you, thank you for bringing me such a powerful wand."

She has dreamed since she was a child that one day she would be able to unleash magic. To this end, she joined the Squirrel Club and tried her best to learn and understand magic. However, as she continued to learn about magic, she felt that she was getting further and further away from magic.

She was almost desperate and ready to accept her fate, but she didn't expect that at this time, her sweetheart would actually bring her such a magical wand.

She cried with joy.

"I'm honored," Vincent said softly. He knew the deal was done.

Adele wiped her tears and asked, "Does this wand have a name?"

"The master alchemist who gave me the wand called it the Shining Wand, but now it's yours, so you can give it a new name."

"New name?" Adele thought carefully and said, "When it lights up, it's like the moon rising. I'll call it the Moon Wand."

After saying that, she turned to look at her friend: "Hill, look, Vincent won't lie to me!"

Hill moved his lips, looked at the bright wand in Adele's hand, and finally sighed: "The world of magic is unfathomable, but my knowledge is too short-sighted."

Adele was in a good mood: "Haha, you are actually much better than me. You will definitely be even better in the future."

She turned to look at Vincent again: "How much does such a powerful wand cost?"

Vincent was silent for a while, but stopped talking.

"Is it expensive?" Adele asked immediately, and then she actually found a reason for Vincent: "My moon wand is so beautiful, and it can also release three-star magic soft light. It must have used a lot of precious materials. . Expensive is normal.”

She then asked Hill: "How much does the academy usually sell a three-star wand?"

"At least 1,000 gold dragon coins, but those are magician-specific wands and cannot be used by ordinary people. Your wand is beyond the scope of my knowledge."

Vincent spoke at the right time: "Adele, in fact, the soft light technique on the wand is more stable and safer than the soft light technique released by the magician."

"Well, what should I say?" Adele became more and more surprised.

"It's windproof, it won't burn your hands, you can even put the crystal in the water and it won't go out."

"How can fire magic be released in water?" Hill was dumbfounded.

Adele was only 23 years old. She was ecstatic to suddenly get such a powerful wand. When she heard that it had so many functions, she immediately started experimenting with it.

The results are naturally fulfilled one by one.

Hill was completely shocked by this magic wand: "Incredible! It's incredible! Vincent, can you tell me the name of the alchemist master? I hope to visit him in person!"

Vincent shrugged: "I'm sorry, that master alchemist doesn't want to be disturbed."

"Oh, it's so regrettable." Hill's face was full of regret. She turned to Adele and said: "My friend, please forgive my ignorance. The wisdom contained in this wand far exceeds the limit of my ability. , I can’t make any valuable comments about it. The only thing I can do is congratulate you.”

Adele sighed contentedly, she let go of her hand, and the soft light spell disappeared. She reached out and gently stroked the smooth body of the wand, and whispered: "This is a priceless treasure, no amount of money is too much. Vincent, please give me a price."

This obviously made Vincent the Lion open his mouth.

The businessman Vincent still had some sense of conscience. He held out three fingers: "Three thousand gold dragon coins."

Hill was secretly stunned when she heard it, but she had nothing to say. In fact, if she had the money, she would definitely buy it too.

"A very fair price!" Adele nodded in approval.

Vincent sweated secretly after hearing this. He remembered clearly that Rosen told him that the cost of this wand was 500 gold dragon coins.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved again: 'The cost only counts the materials, but does not include the wisdom in them. This unique wand is worth the price. ’

After a moment of silence, he continued: "Miss Adele, since you are willing to buy this wand, then I have to tell you some tips on how to use this wand."

"Say." Adele couldn't put it down anymore.

"First of all, if you keep holding it tightly, the magic power stored in the wand can last for half a day, after which the soft light spell will expire."

"Hmm~ It can last for half a day?" Adele looked at Hill, waiting for her opinion.

Hill was completely convinced: "A normal soft light spell only takes half a cup of tea at most. It's a miracle that this wand can last for half a day!"

Adair became more and more satisfied.

Vincent added: "The alchemist master also said that if the magic power is exhausted and you want to continue to use the Moon Wand, he can replenish the magic power for the wand. The first three times of replenishing the magic power are free, and after the third time, the magic power will be replenished once , you need to spend 50 gold dragon coins. In addition, the crystal also has a lifespan. If the soft light technique is activated once, it can last for about half a month. If the crystal is damaged, he will also replace it for you for free. Replace it with a new one for 200 gold dragon coins.”

Adele was overjoyed: "Well, this master alchemist is so generous!"

"Finally, the alchemist said that if you want to use other types of magic, you can just ask, and he will try his best to help you realize your wish."

Hearing this, Adele was extremely happy, and she exclaimed loudly: "Ah, this alchemist must have unparalleled wisdom."

This time, Hill did not raise any objections.

What she wanted to do most now was to return to the academy immediately and bring the news of the moon wand and the alchemist to her mentor.
