The Last Alchemist

A dark underground training room.

The big spiral spray gun in Rosen's hand pointed at Mobius' head.

"The news. Tell me."

"You swear first, swear to God. If I tell you the news, let me go!"

"Swear? It seems you have misjudged the current situation." Rosen chuckled and said, "Veronica, I think this guy's right shoulder also needs to be repaired."

Veronica took a step forward, raised her foot, stepped on Mobius's right shoulder, and started to exert force bit by bit.

She stepped on it and smiled: "Mobius, I have a lot of patience. If you don't say anything, I will crush all the bones in your body."

"Ah~~~Haha~~Ah~~~" Mobius made a sound that sounded like crying and laughing. He was going crazy: "You are cruel! You are cruel! I say! I say!"

Veronica slightly weakened the strength under her feet.

‘Hu~hu~’

Mobius took a deep breath and said, "The news was told to me by a miner. He said that there is an abandoned mine 40 miles east of Nerogard City. He wanted to try his luck that day and get some ore subsidies. As a result, he saw a group of robbers gathered in the mine from a distance. The miner was also brave and ran over to eavesdrop without thinking of escaping. As a result, he told the robbers that there was an adult to deal with. The magician in Nerogard."

"It's interesting, is there anything else?" Rosen asked.

"And more." Mobius shouted hurriedly: "After I heard about this, I also went to the mine to check. When I got there, of course the robbers were gone, but they left some things behind. , including a piece of letter paper that was burned to only a corner, leaving a small flame mark on the letter paper."

"Mark of Fire?" Annie said, "This is the symbol of the Flame God Cult. Are you saying that the Flame God Cult wants to deal with Nerogard?"

Mobius nodded repeatedly: "That should be the case. Haven't you heard? Many trucks transporting magic materials to the academy have been robbed. If you say this was done by ordinary robbers, I will not believe it for the first time."

Rosen nodded slowly: "The Flame God Cult has always disliked magicians. It is only a matter of time before they take action against Nerogard. Your news is very credible."

"Yeah, yeah, I definitely didn't lie to you."

Rosen looked at the extremely miserable Mobius on the ground, then turned to Veronica and Annie: "What's your opinion?"

Veronica kicked Mobius: "It doesn't matter. His magic cloak has been destroyed. I haven't seen the power of a single undead yet."

Anne said to Rosen: "I listen to you."

Rosen pondered for a while, then took out all the remaining titanium particles from his pocket, and swallowed them all in front of Mobius.

"Look, I've eaten all the mithril." Rosen also deliberately illuminated the bottom of the glass bottle.

Mobius was very heartbroken when he saw it, and he said angrily: "Yes, I am not blind, I saw you ate all the mithril, you bastard!"

Rosen wasn't upset either: "I won't tell anyone about the secret of mithril, because it won't do me any good, right?"

"Yes!" Mobius snorted angrily.

"Actually, I have a question for you."

"You ask." Mobius was still upset.

Rosen squatted down 5 meters away from Mobius, looked into Mobius's eyes, and asked: "You are an undead. For you, Nerogard City should be a very dangerous place. Just stay there." What are you doing in a place like this?”

The magicians of Nerogard Academy are not vegetarians. A single magician may not be a match for powerful monsters, but when 2, 3, or even a dozen magicians are combined, the combat effectiveness increases exponentially. In the hundreds of years since Nerogard was founded, no monster has dared to run wild in the city.

Mobius smiled miserably: "Because I am a traitor to the undead!"

The other three people in the basement were a little surprised when they heard this.

Rosen quickly asked: "What is the specific situation?"

Mobius turned his head and looked at the candles on the ceiling of the basement with a cold expression: "Fifty years ago, the reason why Viken killed my lover was because he was instructed by Elder Blood Rose. The elder's reason was that the undead must Guaranteed pure blood Pure. Oh, damn your bloodline! Since then, I have completely broken off from Blood Rose. I have been hiding incognito and gathering strength, but I didn’t expect that Viken would die. In your hands."

"revenge?"

Mobius gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Yes, revenge! In order to take revenge, I do everything possible to collect mithril, because the more mithril the undead absorb, the more powerful they will be!"

His face was filled with deep hatred, and his teeth were clenching. Such a look of hatred coming from the heart cannot be faked.

Rosen thought for a while, then stepped forward and pulled out the silver thorns stuck in Mobius's hands and feet one by one: "You wanted to kill me today, but I also tortured you severely. We owe nothing to each other. You go."

Without the restraints of the silver thorn, Mobius struggled to get up from the ground. He glanced at Rosen with a complicated expression and said, "You kill Viken, Blood Rose will never let you go."

"I know, that's why I hid in Nerogard. I think no matter how powerful Blood Rose is, she wouldn't dare to take action without any scruples here, right?"

The wounds on Mobius healed quickly. He limped towards the exit of the underground training room and said as he walked: "You are right. This is also the reason why I am hiding in Nerogard. However, the Flame God The Pope is very ambitious, and now he has the terrifying power of the God of Thunder. I’m afraid Nerogard won’t be able to live in peace for long.”

"Maybe, but I am also a magician. If Nerogard City disappears, I will become a wanted criminal of the Flame God Cult. I don't want to hide in XZ. Therefore, I will not just watch this city. The city fell."

Mobius sneered: "In the war between the Flame Cult and Nerogard, what can a little magician like you do? Don't think too much, the situation is not right, just run away."

Rosen did not refute, he asked: "Is our bet still valid, ore merchant Mobius?"

"Of course. One code is one code. If you don't mind, the business between us will naturally continue."

At this time, Mobius had already walked to the door of the training room. In a short time, the wounds on his body had basically healed. Before leaving, he finally said: "I wish you good luck, alchemist."

After saying that, he suddenly increased his speed and disappeared from the door of the training room.

Rosen also walked towards the exit: "Let's go, let's clean up the hall, don't scare the servants."

In the hall, the blood of Mobius was especially visible. The black cloak was gone, but there were many pieces of cloth from the cloak on the ground. Veronica was right, his cloak was ruined.

The three of them cleaned up the blood stains before opening the hall to let the servants in.

Rosen said to the old butler: "Afu, we had some unpleasantness with the gentleman just now, but the matter has been resolved. Please take someone to tidy up the hall."

"Yes, sir." Ah Fu nodded. He doesn't ask too many questions, doesn't look too much, and just does things silently. This is what he has learned from his decades of experience as a housekeeper.

Rosen walked back to the alchemy room on the second floor. After reaching the second floor, he comforted the panicked Mrs. Liz and Sister Mary, and then returned to the alchemy room.

Now, he is very interested in his unexpected undead physique.

After arriving at the alchemy room, Rosen found the silver nugget and touched it with his hand, but there was no reaction. I put it in my mouth and bit it, but there was no reaction.

Rosen then used a knife to make a small wound on the skin and put the silver block close to the wound. As a result, apart from the normal wound pain, there was no abnormal reaction.

He took the silver piece away and looked at the wounds on his skin quietly.

Just ten minutes passed like this, and he watched helplessly as the skin stopped bleeding, closed, healed, and finally recovered completely, leaving no trace of scars.

"Like the undead, my reaction speed has been accelerated, and I also have strong healing ability. However, this healing ability is much weaker than that of the authentic undead like Mobius and Viken. But the good thing is that silver is completely ineffective on me, and blood won’t make me addicted. But what is the reason for this?”

Rosen was really curious, so he activated his alchemical power again and explored the body carefully.

As a result, he found that the titanium particles he had just swallowed had been completely digested into titanium ions. These titanium ions were distributed throughout his body, with the largest number of titanium ions in his skull.

The incredible thing is that Rosen clearly saw the titanium ions changing, but his alchemical power was unable to detect the cause of this change, as if these titanium ions themselves had intelligence.

"The characteristics of the undead must be some kind of subatomic level power!" This is the only thing he can be sure of.

'The crisis in Nirogard City is gradually approaching. Whether it is to protect myself or do other things, I need strength, but my alchemy power is slowly improving. Bombs, muskets and the like are powerful, but I am not enough. Strong, easily taken advantage of. It seems that if you want to improve your survival rate, you can only rely on the physical characteristics of the undead. ’

‘Mobius said that the more Mithril you take, the more powerful the undead will be. Mithril is the metal titanium. Where can I find titanium? There are two main types of titanium compounds in nature: ilmenite and rutile. The former is iron ore, and finding this thing depends on your character. The latter is relatively pure titanium dioxide, also called titanium crystal, which is a relatively cheap gemstone on earth. I just don’t know how rare titanium crystal is in this world. ’

For knowledge in this area, it is natural to find an expert, and Veronica is the expert.

Rosen came out of the alchemy room, found Veronica, described the appearance of rutile, and asked: "Winnie, do you know this kind of gem?"

Veronica nodded: "Are you talking about golden gems? This kind of gem is not cheap. If it is of good quality, a gold gem the size of a little fingertip will cost 10 gold dragon coins. If it is as big as a pigeon egg, , it would be even more expensive, maybe hundreds of gold dragon coins.”

"Hmm~ What a gem, what a gem." Rosen was very happy in his heart.

He is not afraid of expensive things, but afraid of not having them.

‘Judging from the changes in my body, the blood seal magic seems to be trying to replace all my bones with high-strength titanium alloy. The bones in my body weigh more than ten kilograms. If I replace them all with bio-titanium alloy, I will need a lot of titanium metal. That's a lot of money. It's okay now, I'll make money. ’

With this in mind, Rosen returned to the alchemy room and began to smelt glass to create a magic mirror.

While he was busy, he forgot about time. In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Here, Rosen is busy building various valuable gadgets. But in the garden of Earl Biggs's mansion in the trade district, there was singing and dancing.

The day after the young Countess Adele got the magic wand, she specially held a party. The theme of the party was "Moon Magic Wand Appreciation Party". The members who came to participate were basically members of the Squirrel Club.

Apprentice magician Hill was also present. Her mentor was not in the academy, and no one was restraining her. She was very free recently.

At the banquet, Adele took out the magic mirror and magic wand, and lit up the magic wand, which caused the members of the Squirrel Club to exclaim in surprise. They were so envious that they almost drooled.

Although Adele was a countess, she had always been a peripheral member of the Squirrel Club. Now seeing that all the smart people in the Squirrel Club were shocked by her, she was naturally very proud.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hill whispered to Adele: "Didn't Mr. Vincent say that as long as you have any request, the alchemist will try his best to meet your request? Do you have any new ideas these days?"

Adele was itching to hear this. She naturally had an idea in her mind: "Although the moon wand is good, the soft light magic is just an auxiliary lighting magic. It would be great if I could have a wand that releases offensive magic, even if it's just flash magic."

"." Hill was furious when she heard this. Her friend was so bold that she dared to use offensive magic. Wasn't she afraid that if she didn't control it well, she would become disabled?

"Isn't this bad? Offensive magic is very dangerous." Hill advised.

"I believe the master must have a way." Adele argued.

Hill had no choice but to say: "Vincent is here tonight. Otherwise, I will go to Vincent to ask for you?"

"Okay, okay." Adele nodded repeatedly.
