The Last Alchemist

The vitality of high-level vampires is really strong. After losing their heads, they will not die, and their physical strength will not be weakened. They are even more abnormal than Wolverine.

But losing their heads will have a great impact after all.

The biggest impact is that his body has lost its sanity and only has the instinct of self-protection; while his head may still retain its sanity, but it has lost its strength.

After the head and body were separated, the vampire Viken basically had no fighting power.

After spending some time, Annie easily cut off Viken's hands and feet from his body.

Incredibly, after Viken's body was cut into a stick, it still rolled left and right on the ground, and the remaining muscles on the broken end were still wriggling.

The severed hands and feet also bounced around on the ground randomly, just like the tail of a gecko, still maintaining great activity.

Although it looks terrible, as the body is constantly divided, the mobility of the separated body parts is greatly weakened. Even to Rosen, there is no threat.

During this time, Rosen was not idle. He had been collecting dry firewood in the forest near the cave.

To burn Viken's body to ashes, firewood is never too much.

He ran into the cave with a large bundle of firewood. Rosen took a look at Viken, who had been dismembered, and said, "Chop it up a little more. The more pieces the better!"

If a large piece of flesh and blood is thrown directly into the fire, the outer layer of the flesh and blood may have been burned to charcoal, but the inner cells are still active. As long as there is an opportunity in the future, Viken may be reborn again.

Rosen knew very well that if he wanted to kill Viken completely, he had to kill every cell in Viken's body!

"Okay!" Annie responded and started again.

It was true that the high-level vampire had been defeated by them, but Annie still had a deep fear of Viken in her heart. Only by completely destroying the body of this high-level vampire could she feel at ease.

Holding a steel sword, Annie became a temporary butcher, chopping the meat into pieces.

The strange thing is that although the body was chopped into pieces, not a drop of blood flowed out of the pieces. The vampire Viken sucked so much blood, but there was not a drop of blood in his body.

In Rosen's view, Viken's flesh and blood did not look like a living thing, but rather like a large mass of highly elastic silicone.

While chopping, Anne suddenly stopped: "Rosen, look, there is a letter."

There was a pocket in Viken's dark blue evening dress, and in the pocket was an exquisite sheepskin scroll. Rosen put down the firewood in his hand, walked over to pick up the scroll, opened it, and found a few words written on it, using the common language of the Parason Empire.

"What is written?" Anne asked.

Rosen read it out directly: "The Apocalypse has come, steel submits to his will, fire regards him as the master, and the world trembles in front of his power. He will save all suffering, and he will bring heaven to the world-the sage Niya."

"The sage Niya? It seems that this prophecy is true." Anne believed it directly.

Rosen was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Annie, I didn't expect you to be so easy to fool."

In the game, he had heard of the reputation of the sage Niya, but he had never seen the real person. He only knew that the other party was a very famous magician. It is said that she is a female professor at the Northern Nilogard College and also the royal magic consultant of the Northern Kingdom of Keweisen. Now looking at Annie's performance, she seems to be very convinced of Niya.

Annie rolled her eyes at Rosen and said firmly: "This is a prophecy, not a trick. I tell you, the prophecy of the sage Niya has never been wrong, never!"

Rosen disagreed with this credulous attitude. He frowned: "Annie, prophecy is a thing. If it is right, it is luck. If it is wrong, there are many excuses to make up for it. It is basically of no reference value."

His suspicion is not due to personal emotions, but is based on rigorous scientific theories.

This is chaos theory.

Chaos theory reveals that in a multi-variable system, any variable, even if there is a change that is so small that it exceeds the current measurement limit, will cause an unexpected huge change in the entire system after a long enough time.

In layman's terms, it is the butterfly effect.

Weather is a chaotic system, so weather forecasts are always so inaccurate.

The description of this prophecy of the Apocalypse by the Sage Niya is quite accurate. Rosen felt at first glance that it was 90% a trick used by scammers to deceive people. The reason why he retained a 10% possibility was because he did not understand the power of magic and did not dare to speak out.

While chopping Viken's body, Annie retorted: "Rosen, you are young and have not seen the world, so I don't blame you for your ignorance. I tell you, the Sage Niya is the wisest person in the world. She can see through the mysteries of the universe and find the guidance of the gods to mortals from the stars. In the past, the Sage Niya issued a total of three prophecies, each of which was very accurate!"

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and asked: "You mean, she is not only a magician, but also an astrologer?"

"Yes." Annie has successfully chopped both of Viken's hands into meat paste, and she began to chop his legs.

Rosen asked again: "Did her previous three predictions predict the occurrence of a solar or lunar eclipse?"

Annie looked at Rosen in surprise: "Yes. How did you know? You have heard of her, right?"

"Oh, I see." Rosen suddenly realized.

Just as chemistry was preceded by alchemy, astronomers were preceded by astrologers. Compared with the complex human world, the laws of star movement are much clearer. For astronomers, as long as they observe the starry sky diligently, they can easily summarize a set of rules, and it is not difficult to make accurate predictions about specific stars.

In ancient astrology, most of the content is a trick to deceive people, and only a very small part of the essence is rigorous science.

Rosen’s knowledge is also not arbitrary, but has real cases.

On Earth, Kepler, who proposed the three laws of planetary motion, was known as the legislator of the sky. In the sixteenth century, his true identity was actually an astrologer. He usually makes a living by selling astrological almanacs and telling fortunes for others. Kepler had real abilities and good luck, and even told people's fortunes correctly. In today's world, he could probably be called a sage.

In fact, Kepler's teacher Tycho was also famous for his astrology at that time.

If Rosen was only 90% sure that the prophecy was a lie before, now he is 99% sure.

However, Sage Niya is obviously Annie's idol, and black idols attract hatred. Rosen had no intention of making Annie unhappy over such insignificant matters.

"If there is a chance in the future, I would like to go to Sage Niya for advice." Rosen thought to himself.

In the sheepskin scroll, in addition to prophecies, there were also a few sentences written below. Rosen continued to read: "The following human beings are likely to grow into Apocalypse in the future and must be removed as soon as possible."

Below are 3 names.

Rosen read: "Dilak Ingram, the third son of Marquis Ingram of the Parason Empire, is 9 years old, has a photographic memory, and has an astonishing affinity for flames."

Anne paused for a moment: "The flame prodigy Dirac, he was actually targeted by a vampire."

Rosen continued to read: "Weige Milatis, a student of the Nerogard Academy in the northern Kingdom of Kewell, is 19 years old, stunningly beautiful, the proud disciple of Sage Niya, and has a terrifying talent for illusions."

Anne nodded: "I have heard of Wei Ge, the daughter of fantasy. It is said that her illusions are very powerful. The illusion barrier she created can easily trap the frost giants in the Arctic."

Rosen couldn't help but praise: "This is amazing. No wonder high-level vampires will list her as a target for elimination."

He had never heard of Wei Ge, but he knew that illusions really existed in this world. Powerful illusionists were extremely difficult to defeat. Even high-level vampires would find it very difficult to face them.

He continued with the third name.

"Emile, the glorious saint, is 16 years old. Her current location is the Westing Temple in Berkeley, the city of freedom. She possesses the terrifying talent of Holy Light and is expected to master the legendary divine punishment magic in the future. The threat is huge. This person wants to Prioritize eradication!”

Hearing the name, Anne groaned: "Hey, it's so shameless to be a glorious saint!"

She actually had a look of disgust on her face.

Rosen knew that the Eternal Fire Sect was a popular sect in the north of the mainland. It used flame as its totem and had many followers. It is said that the sect is extreme and hates any black magic and forbidden secrets. It also specially trains temple warriors to hunt down black magicians everywhere.

Annie is a mutant stalker and a product of black magic. It is normal for her not to deal with the Eternal Fire Sect.

He didn't ask any more questions and continued reading.

The signature below the sheepskin scroll is a blood-red seal. The seal pattern is an equilateral triangle with the mouth facing downwards, with a circle inscribed in it, and in the circle is a blooming flower.

Rosen had never seen this seal before. He handed the scroll to Annie: "Have you seen it?"

Annie glanced at it and stopped moving her hand: "It's the Blood Rose!"

"Explain it." Rosen felt that the information he got in the game was really pitiful, much worse than Annie, a native.

Anne let out a long breath: "My mentor told me that most monsters are actually very smart, especially the high-level vampires, who are even much smarter than ordinary people. We humans have been trying to find ways to hunt monsters. Monsters. Of course they won’t just give up, they are also trying to eradicate the rebellious humans. The Blood Rose is such a monster organization, and its members are all powerful monsters. Their goal is to hunt down those humans who dare to resist or have the power to resist. "

"Oh~" Rosen couldn't help but slap his head and smiled bitterly: "If we kill Viken now, wouldn't we just stoke a hornet's nest?"

Annie nodded, with a look of helplessness on her face: "There is nothing we can do about it. If we don't kill him, he will kill us. We have no choice. In addition, as far as I know, the killing of a high-level vampire is a big deal. , will definitely cause shock in the monster world. Blood Rose will definitely issue a reward, and the monsters will be looking for the murderer of Viken."

Rosen felt his eyelids twitching violently. Just as he was about to speak, Viken's voice suddenly came from the side of the cave: "Little girl, you still have some knowledge."

Rosen immediately turned his head and looked over, and saw Viken's head leaning against the edge of the mountain wall. The wound on his face had completely healed. If you ignore the fact that he has no body, he is still a handsome blond man. .

Feeling Rosen's gaze, Viken immediately turned his eyes. The moment he saw Rosen, his lake-blue eyes suddenly burst out with terrible murderous intent: "Little thing, do you think you can do it with these firewood?" Burn me to death? Delusion!"
