The Last Alchemist

Chapter 137: Botanist Linnaeus

Luxurious glass flower room.

Earl Derek walked in front and introduced the rare flower species in the flower room to the female magician.

"Miss Linde, look, that is an edelweiss flower. I specially asked someone to find it from the southern volcano crater. This kind of flower is very strange. When planting, it must be roasted with charcoal pots around it."

"Hmm, interesting."

"Miss Linde, look at the rose here. I call it Blue Enchantress. It is a very rare rose variety. If you like it, I will pick it for you right now."

"Ha~ This gift is too precious, let it grow on a tree."

"Miss Linde, look here"

Even a blind person can see that Count Derek is trying to please the female magician with the greatest enthusiasm. It's a pity that the flowing water is intentional and the falling flowers are ruthless. The female magician always looks like an iceberg beauty. Not only does she not have a smile on her face, she seems too tired to even say one more word.

Rosen stood in an inconspicuous place, watching Earl Derek's hard 'performance', and couldn't help but recall the old gardener John's comment: 'It really looks like a male dog in heat. ’

The two of them only stayed in the glass flower room for more than ten minutes. The female magician seemed to be bored. She interrupted Earl Derek who was introducing flower varieties: "Your Majesty, that's it for today. Your illness is not complete yet. Healing, I can’t be active outside for too long.”

"It's okay, Miss Linde, I feel very good."

The female magician said with a slightly more serious tone: "Derek, I don't want to remind you a second time."

Earl Derek, who was in high spirits just now, suddenly looked like a defeated rooster. His face turned red, but he did not dare to say another word. After holding back for a long time, he finally said: "Okay, since you don't like it, then we Just go back."

"Very good. In the near future, I hope you won't run around and it's best to stay in the mansion. Don't refute me. Of course you have the right to move freely. My words are just advice to you!"

When the female magician spoke, her eyes fell on the petals of the blue enchantress beside her, without even looking at Earl Derek, as if he was just a ball of air that didn't matter whether he existed or not. After she finished speaking, she walked directly towards the exit of the glass flower room.

After walking a few steps, seeing that Earl Derek did not follow, the female magician spoke again: "Lord Earl, are you going back with me, or do you plan to stay alone for a while?"

Earl Derek's face turned blue and white, his fists were clenched, the veins on his forehead were beating involuntarily, and his eyes were dark, like a beast that wanted to choose people and devour them, but in the end, he still followed the female magician. After walking a few steps side by side, he laughed: "Miss Linde, a fisherman brought a few kilograms of rare golden salmon in the morning, and there happened to be a chef in the mansion who was very good at cooking fish. Otherwise, tonight Shall we dine together?”

"No need. I don't like fish."

"Uh~ It doesn't matter. There are other delicacies in the restaurant, such as broth made from fresh mushrooms cultured in the greenhouse, wild bear paws, etc. Everything is very delicious."

The female magician stopped and glanced at Count Derek lightly. With just one glance, Count Derek could not withstand the pressure in his eyes and tilted his head unnaturally.

Purely in terms of momentum, Earl Derek was completely defeated.

"Lord Earl, I must remind you that I came to Blue Moon Mansion just to protect your life and safety. I am not responsible for accompanying you to chat, dine, dance, etc. Today, the reason why I came to visit your glass flower house is simply Just for the sake of your donation of 10,000 gold dragon coins. However, I don’t want you to continue doing this, and I don’t want to waste my precious time on meaningless social interactions. Do you understand?”

"I'm Lily," Earl Derek muttered, speechless.

"We are not friends. Don't you think it's rude if you call me by my first name?"

Earl Derek looked dejected: "Okay, I understand. I'm a little confused, and I want to be alone for a while."

"I remind you again, you can move anywhere in the mansion, but you must not leave the mansion, do you understand?"

"I see."

"Okay, bye."

The female magician turned and left.

Earl Derek stood outside the glass greenhouse, silent and motionless, like a statue. Waiting for the female magician to disappear completely

No, he suddenly exploded!

He took off the leather gloves in his hands, threw them to the ground, and stepped on them with his feet.

"You bitch, you pretend to be a saint in front of me!"

"Lilith, don't think that just because you are a magician, you can escape my grasp!"

"Hmph, one day, I will make you kneel in front of me, crying and begging me to spare you!"

After venting for a while, Earl Derek turned and walked back to the glass greenhouse. He opened the door and completely ignored Rosen's existence as before. Perhaps in his eyes, the slave was nothing more than a living tool.

He walked along the path in the glass greenhouse until he reached the very end, where a small wooden house appeared. He stepped forward and patted the wooden door hard, shouting: "Linnaeus! Linnaeus!"

The door opened with a creak, and a young man in his twenties or eighty-year-old appeared behind the door: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Earl Derek said nothing, and squeezed into the wooden house from the young man, and then said: "Close the door tightly, I don't want more people to hear our conversation."

"As you wish."

Linnaeus closed the wooden door.

Rosen watched all this from a distance and smiled in his heart: "A wooden door is like being protected from eavesdropping. How naive."

While squatting and weeding beside the flowers, he eavesdropped on the sounds coming from the wooden house. As he listened, his face became more and more strange: ‘You, Earl Derek, actually used such a shady trick on your protector. You really don’t know how to live or die. ’

If this method succeeds, Lilith will naturally fall into his hands, but he will also have no protector. Once the monster assassin comes, he will be finished. If it fails, Lilith will be furious and may kill the earl herself. Even if the earl does not die, his situation will be extremely miserable.

Rosen feels that the skull of the upstart Earl Derek is not filled with brains, but feces!

"By the way, should I intervene?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Rosen shook his head: "Neither Derek nor Lilith has anything to do with me. I am only here to deal with the monster assassin."

If Count Derek was a gentleman like Vincent, an innocent person, he would naturally find a way to save his life, but this guy did all kinds of bad things and was determined to die, so Rosen would naturally help him.

Count Derek and the young man named Linnaeus discussed in the cabin for about 10 minutes, and then Count Derek left the glass greenhouse.

Rosen was just breathing a sigh of relief when he heard Linnaeus' voice coming from the direction of the cabin: "Rosen, come here, I have something to talk to you about."

This Linnaeus, who claimed to be a naturalist, was especially good at taking care of flowers and plants. The reason why the flowers in this glass greenhouse are so colorful is mostly due to his credit. As for gardeners like Rosen and Old John, their usual job is to do some physical work according to his instructions.

"Hey~ I'm here." Rosen patted the dust off his hands and walked towards the cabin.

From a distance, he saw the young man Linna standing in front of the cabin with a watering can in his hand. When he saw Rosen, he handed the watering can to Rosen: "This is the fertilizer I just prepared. Use it to water the white round-headed mushrooms in the mushroom house."

"Okay." Rosen nodded obediently.

"Remember, only water the round mushrooms, and use up all the fertilizers. Make sure to water thoroughly, understand?"

Rosen was stunned: "Sir, I remember that the round-headed mushrooms are almost mature. Will they rot if you water them too much?"

Linnay smiled gently: "Your concerns are reasonable. It seems that you have good common sense. However, this fertilizer is specially prepared by me. After watering, it will not only not rot the mushrooms, but also make them grow bigger and rounder, and taste more delicious."

"Oh, that's it. Sir, I'll go water the mushrooms now."

"Go ahead."

Rosen carried the watering can to the mushroom house on the west side of the glass greenhouse. According to Linnay's instructions, he sprayed the white round-headed mushrooms until the sawdust under the mushrooms was thoroughly watered.

Then he returned to the cabin with the watering can: "Sir, it has been done as you ordered."

"Very good. Oh, by the way, please tell the kitchen on my behalf that the round-headed mushrooms can only be eaten the day after tomorrow."

"Okay."

Rosen pretended that he knew nothing, strode out of the greenhouse, and headed all the way to the kitchen in the mansion.

The mansion was really large. Rosen walked along the path, going around and around, and it took him five or six minutes to reach the kitchen door on the side of the mansion. Just as he was about to knock on the door to pass on the message, he suddenly heard a woman's shrill scream from the third floor of the mansion.

"What's going on?" Rosen was startled: "Did the count get killed by a monster?"
