The Last Alchemist

Glass flower room.

Rosen was busy in the alchemy room.

He began to extract water from various extracts, and tested the toxicity of various flower seeds and flower bulbs one by one.

The former is very simple. After a while, he collected about seventeen liters of pure water, all of which was placed in a ceramic container.

The latter was a delicate job. Rosen tasted various flower seeds one by one and tested the poison. If he was sure they were safe and edible, he would carefully hide them for later use. If it is toxic, remove the toxic ingredients and eat the removed ingredients first.

When testing the poison, Rosen did not forget to argue with the monster outside the house.

"I said, are you annoyed? I just accidentally threw dirty things on you. Is this a small thing worth getting angry about?"

"That's easy to say. How about you let me do the same? As long as you let me get it back, I won't care about you!"

"Hey~ Why are you like this? I didn't mean it. Who told you to stand outside the window at that time?"

"How dare you just throw shit outside when no one is standing outside the window?! Let me ask you, what is the toilet for?!"

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Let me ask you, who are you?"

"I was just about to ask you, who are you? This is the house manager's residence, why are you in there?"

Hearing these words, Rosen's heart moved: 'This guy must not have seen me, otherwise it would be impossible not to recognize me. Since he didn't see me, it was even more impossible to see Lilith wrapped in the quilt. He doesn’t know my identity yet, which is my advantage! ’

He continued: "I am an alchemist. I may not be your match in the flower room. But if you dare to break into the wooden house, I will definitely have the ability to let you come in standing and leave lying down!"

"What a loud tone!" Chameleon laughed angrily. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "I have never been so humiliated in my life. No one dares to humiliate me like this! No matter what you say, it's useless. , you’re dead anyway!”

"That's not necessarily the case. Let me tell you, unless you have been blocking me in the flower room, I will know if you relax a little. By then I will be far away, and you can still find me by smelling like a dog?"

While talking, Rosen opened the bottom drawer of the cabinet and prepared to collect the flower seeds.

Just as he pulled away, he felt a slight movement in his heart: "There seem to be scratches on the floor?"

The scratches are very shallow and almost invisible to the naked eye, but under the perception of alchemical magic, these scratches are invisible. There are dozens of them, parallel to each other, starting from the left side of the cabinet and extending all the way out. At first glance, it seems that something has been formed by long-term friction.

A chameleon's sneer came from outside the house: "Hey, wait three days and let me see if you can still be so strong in your words."

Rosen lay down and began to carefully examine the scratches on the ground: "Three days? You are really thinking too much. Let me tell you, this glass greenhouse was built by Earl Derek with a lot of money. The greenhouse is full of rare flower seeds. In a moment, It also needs someone to take care of it. Do you think he would leave the glass greenhouse idle for three days?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Rosen discovered a small metal hole at the bottom of the cabinet. There were a lot of wear and scratches around the hole: "Keyhole?"

For ordinary people, a key is necessary to open a lock, but for Rosen, as long as he puts the power of alchemy into the keyhole, he can easily open the lock, especially in this era when the lock structure is very simple.

As soon as he thought of it, Rosen calmed down and tried to open the lock.

Outside the house, the monster chameleon sneered again: "Count Derek? Do you still expect him to save you? Don't worry, he has been in a lot of trouble recently. How can he have time to take care of the flower house? Besides, whether he can survive for three days is a question!"

"Haha, so you're going to kill him? That's just right, I'll run away while you kill him!"

After saying that, Rosen had already explored and understood the structure of the lock. His mind condensed slightly, and the power of alchemy turned into an invisible key. He twisted it lightly and made a soft "click" sound. Then, Rosen There was also a 'click' sound behind me, and after a second, the floor on the left side of the alchemy room started to move, slowly retracting into the wooden cabinet, revealing a dark hole.

Rosen walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down. He found that there were steps going down in the cave. Listening carefully, he could hear the sound of water flowing from the entrance of the cave. He sniffed the smell gently and could smell a faint smell in the air in the cave. The fishy smell.

"This hole seems to be connected to the sewer, but I don't know what it is used for." Rosen turned on the flashlight, stood at the entrance of the hole and looked in.

Outside the house, the voice of the chameleon came again: "Hey, just run away. I guarantee that you will lose your life as soon as you step out of the greenhouse!"

Rosen responded absently: "Are you threatening me?!"

He continued to look into the cave, and with the light of the flashlight, he discovered that there was actually a very large basement below, and there seemed to be a complete set of alchemy equipment in it.

"This Linnaeus is actually an alchemist. That's right. If he wasn't an alchemist, he wouldn't have such a deep understanding of the characteristics of plants. However, this underground alchemy room comes just in time, hehe!"

He was ready to go in to see what was going on, but before entering the cave, he had to deal with the monster guarding outside the house.

After thinking about it, he said loudly: "Monster, it's still unclear who will win and who will lose. Also, I have no regrets at all about smearing your face with shit! If I have the chance, I will definitely do it again, No, I put shit directly into your mouth!"

Chameleon's voice came over immediately: "Huh! This is exactly what I want to say. There is no point in bickering now, just wait for me!"

Rosen stopped talking and walked towards the basement with a flashlight.

There aren't many steps to the basement, and it doesn't take long to get to the bottom. The height of the basement is not very high. It is just over two meters tall. The area is about 20 square meters. There is a brass still, a set of expensive glass containers, and a stone mortar for grinding. There is a small bed against the wall and a small desk next to the bed.

The bedding on the bed was still there, but everything on the desk had been removed, leaving only seven or eight pieces of damaged papyrus and a bottle of ink.

Rosen searched carefully in the basement again, and found a locked thick iron lid in a corner of the basement. There was a faint sound of water flowing under the lid, and a trace of rancid smell continued to come from the gaps.

"There should be sewers below. I heard that in order to prevent the overflowing floods of the Bishui River, the sewers in Nirogard were very grand, like an underground city. Maybe Linnaeus ran away from this waterway. I just don't know what the chameleon knew. I didn’t know this basement existed.”

If you don't know, this basement can be used to house Lilith.

To verify this, it was very simple for Rosen.

He activated his alchemical magic again and walked slowly around the basement. Then he determined that the chameleon did not know the existence of the basement because there was only the breath of Linnaeus in this basement.

At the same time, Rosen also found a handle in a secret place in the basement. As long as he kept pulling the handle, the floor could be closed again.

"very good!"

Rosen immediately returned to the bedroom of the wooden house and carried Lilith on the bed into the small bed in the basement. He also moved the previously purified water and food into the basement and put them away. When he was done, he lit a candle in the basement and closed the floor again.

In this way, even if Earl Derek comes to the cabin, he will not find him. Even if he discovers him by chance, Rosen can escape from the sewer exit, advance, attack, and retreat to defend.

"Not bad, very good."

He was also a little hungry, so he took out some flower seeds and ate them. Although the taste was terrible, the nutrients were still sufficient. After eating half a catty, Rosen filled his stomach.

Finally, he grinded some flower seeds into powder in a stone mortar, mixed it with water to form a thin paste, and then sent it directly into Lilith's belly with the help of alchemical power.

After doing all this, all Rosen could do was wait patiently for Lilith to recover.

The good news is that he has an undying feud with the monster, so there is no need to worry about him leaving the Blue Moon Mansion after killing Earl Derek. The downside is that it's very, very boring to stay in a dark basement caring for comatose patients.

After staying quietly for a while, Rosen felt very bored. His eyes wandered around the basement. Finally, his eyes fell on the papyrus and ink bottle on the table.

‘Well~ I have nothing to do anyway, so why not continue writing the manuscript. ’

What manuscript?

Naturally, it is the book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".

So, in addition to taking care of the unconscious Lilith, Rosen sat at his desk and continued to write the book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" in the next time.

This book is very brain-burning and a good way to kill time.

No, the book has only been written for five pages, and the papyrus has not been used up yet, and two days have passed.

Two days later in the afternoon, Rosen was lying on his desk writing intently when he suddenly heard Lilith's breathing on the small bed beside him becoming much heavier, and her eyelids began to move.

As soon as he saw her appearance, Rosen breathed a sigh of relief: "This aunt is finally awake!"
