The Last Alchemist

In the Squirrel Society, Countess Adele is not the smartest, nor does she have the deepest understanding of magic, but she must be the richest!

In fact, she is now the biggest benefactor of the Squirrel Club.

If a squirrel wants to do anything, if it needs money, the first person it will turn to is Countess Adair.

Now, the benefactor held a banquet at home and provided delicious food and drinks for free. There was no one in the Squirrel Club who didn't support it. The garden of Earl Biggs' Mansion was full of people, at least more than four hundred, and almost all the members of the Squirrel Society were present.

Originally, everyone thought they were just here to have a delicious meal and join in the fun. But when Adele took out the magic wand, everyone was eye-opening. Many core members of the Squirrel Society who were familiar with magic were even more shocked.

When Hill went to find Vincent, he met many people saying hello along the way.

"Hey, Miss Hill, do you know what happened to Adele's moon wand?"

"Isn't soft light magic a fire magic? How can it be put into water?"

"Miss Hill, the milky white crystal on the head of the staff should be priceless, right?"

Regarding these issues, Hill could only show his hands and express that he did not know.

After finally squeezing through the enthusiastic crowd, Hill found Vincent in the corner of the garden.

Vincent was not alone. There were two young men standing next to him. The three of them were holding wine glasses and chatting animatedly.

Originally, Hill wanted to wait until Vincent finished chatting with him before looking for him, but she soon discovered that she knew the two young men around Vincent. One of the young men saw Hill and waved hello: "Hey~ Look, guys, look, the real magician is coming!"

Although she knew it was a joke, Hill still felt her heart skip a beat when she heard it. She walked up and feigned anger: "Vicky, don't tell me that you can't tell the difference between apprenticeship and formal!"

Vicky is a core member of the Squirrel Society. Although he has no magical talent, he is very knowledgeable in mathematics, mechanics, and mechanical design. He is a smart guy with extensive knowledge.

Vicky laughed, raised the glass and gestured to Hill: "Please forgive me, Hill, but there are more than 400 people in the entire Earl's Mansion. When it comes to magic knowledge, you are indeed one of the best."

Yes, Hill is also a member of the Squirrel Club. Because she is a student of Nerogard and has magic talent, she has a very high status in the Squirrel Club.

In the academy, Hill was an unknown trainee magician, but in the Squirrel Society, Hill was a famous magic expert.

Vicky's praise made Hill very happy. She looked at the other young man with a smile: "Look, Rafael, Vicky's mouth is always so sweet."

The young man who was called Raphael shrugged his shoulders: "Yeah, so we all call him Little Bee Vicky."

Raphael is also a core member of the Squirrel Society and a famous sculptor in Nerogard City, especially good at sculpting strong male bodies. His works can usually be sold for more than 5 gold dragon coins. What is enviable is that Raphael is also very masculine and exudes a charming atmosphere in every move he makes. He is known as the Squirrel Prince.

Hill was so amused by Raphael that after she finished laughing, she asked, "You guys had a lively chat just now. Can I know what you were talking about?"

Vicky nodded: "Of course. In fact, both Raphael and I thought the Moon Wand was incredible, but there were so many people crowded around Miss Adele, so we found Mr. Vincent."

Raphael shrugged regretfully: "Unfortunately, Mr. Vincent is very strict with his mouth. He insisted that it was the work of the master alchemist, but he refused to reveal the master's name. Alas."

Vicky continued: "But Mr. Vincent is very knowledgeable, and we talked about some interesting things afterwards. For example, the necklace problem that Raphael has been unable to solve."

Hill was stunned when he heard this, and turned to look at Raphael: "I remember you raised this natural catenary problem last year. Isn't it still unresolved?"

Raphael drank a glass of wine and said with regret: "At first, I thought it was just a small problem, but the more I studied, the more difficult I found it. Then I asked Vicky for help, but he was also stumped. After that, I I asked several mathematicians, but no one could give me an accurate answer.”

Hill was confused when he heard this: "Isn't it just a hanging chain? Is it so difficult?"

Vicky listened and couldn't help complaining: "What do you mean it's just a hanging chain? Let me tell you, this problem is very, very difficult! I suspected it was an ellipse at first, but obviously not. Then I suspected it was a parabola. , the result is still wrong. I tried the hyperbola, the egg shell curve, and the water drop line, but the results are all just approximations. I suspect that this problem is unsolvable at all!"

"Okay, okay." Hill interrupted Vicki's complaint. She thought for a while and said, "I heard that someone is studying trigonometric functions recently. Do you think this has something to do with it?"

"I don't know. Although I don't know much about trigonometric functions, I know it's impossible just by thinking about it. How can triangles be related to catenary chains?" Vicky shook his head, took a sip of wine, and asked, "I hope Well, you definitely didn’t come here to chat with us, right?”

"Of course, I have something to do with Vincent."

"Oh~ let's talk. Raphael, let's make some space for these two gentlemen."

Vicki and Raphael turned and walked away, leaving Hill and Vincent in the corner of the garden.

Vincent smiled and asked: "I just saw you and Adele staying together. Come here now, are you going to send a message to Miss Adele?"

Hill smiled and nodded: "You're half right. Half of it is a message, and half of it is my own business."

"Say it."

"Miss Adele wants to buy a wand with offensive magic. I want you to ask the alchemist master to see if it is possible."

When Vincent heard this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead with a look of disapproval: "After the death of the old earl, Miss Adele became more and more unrestrained. She is an ordinary person and wants to buy an attack wand. Aren't she afraid of getting hurt?"

Hill was helpless: "I tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen to me. Look, after she got the Moon Wand, she suddenly became the core figure of the Squirrel Society, and many people around her are envious of her."

Vincent looked over from a distance and saw Adele showing off her new wand. A large circle of people gathered around her, with looks of shock and envy on everyone's faces.

He frowned: "To be honest, tonight's banquet is not appropriate. The members of the Squirrel Society are complicated, and there are all kinds of people. Many of them live in poverty. They are not good candidates to show off their treasures."

Hill didn't like the current Adele very much. She was still a little jealous of Adele. After hearing this, she curled her lips: "But obviously, we can't interfere with the will of the countess."

After saying that, she waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Vincent, is that master alchemist willing to meet me?"

"No, the master is a very lonely person and never interacts with others." Vincent shook his head.

"Oh~ It's such a pity." Hill was filled with disappointment.

Vincent changed his tone: "However, the master said that the reason why he doesn't see you is not because of you, but because of his personality, he has almost no ability to communicate with others. If you are willing, you can go Visit his most proud disciple."

Hill almost jumped up when she heard this. She was so happy: "Really?"

"Really." Vincent smiled. Compared to the willful and exaggerated Adele, he admired Hill, a young trainee magician, because he saw in him the same self who struggled five years ago.

"That's great. When can I visit him?"

"If you don't mind, I can take you to the alchemist master's residence later."

"Of course I don't mind!" Hill jumped up happily: "Then shall we leave now?"

Now, she almost didn't want to stay in the Earl's Mansion for a moment, and her heart had already flown to a certain alchemist master.

Vincent had no problem with it. In fact, he didn't like this banquet very much. The reason why he came was simply because he was invited and couldn't refuse.

Hill immediately put down the glass of wine in his hand and hurriedly went to say goodbye to Adele. But as soon as she walked around a potted plant with thick branches and leaves, she discovered that Adele, who was originally staying in the garden, was nowhere to be seen.

"Where has the person gone?" Hill was a little surprised. She walked towards the garden center, searching all the way, but she never saw Adele.

"strangeness."

Hill pulled over a servant: "Where is your master?"

The servant pointed to the small house next to him: "Master said he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he went there."

"Oh, it turns out I went to the toilet."

The anxious Hill walked towards the small house on the side. She was going to wait at the door and bid farewell to Adele as soon as she came out.

The small house was in a corner of the garden. Soon, Hill arrived at the end of the field and she stood by the door waiting.

Thinking that she would soon meet the master alchemist's proud disciple, she felt her heart pounding: 'If I can meet the master's proud disciple, I will definitely have the opportunity to meet the master alchemist in the future. I have to work hard. If the master can take a fancy to me and teach me some spell-casting skills, that would be so happy. ’

‘What’s going on, it’s been so long, why hasn’t Adele come out yet? Could it be diarrhea? ’

Hill was a little worried, so he walked to the door of the small room and knocked gently: "Adele, are you okay?"

No response.

A feeling of uneasiness arose in Hill's heart, and he asked in an aggravated voice: "Adele, are you okay?"

Still no response.

Hill was anxious and opened the door directly.

The door was locked.

Hill was very uneasy. She activated her magic power, explored the location of the door buckle, and then concentrated her will to unlock the door.

‘Click~’

The door opened, and a strong smell of blood came out of the room.

Hill looked in and saw Adele lying in a pool of blood. Her eyes were wide open, her body was twisted, and the clothes and skin on her chest and abdomen were covered with blood.

His skin was torn to pieces, his intestines leaked all over the floor, and his death was extremely tragic.

"Ah~~~~"

Hill screamed in fear.
