The Last Alchemist

The dark and secret basement.

When Lilith woke up for the first time, Rosen was still bent over the table writing furiously.

After waking up, the first thing she did was to feel her body carefully.

Her body was still unable to move, and she could only move her fingers slightly at most. Judging from the touch of the quilt, she should not be wearing any clothes.

This discovery made her grit her teeth secretly: 'I don't know if this guy took advantage of me while I was unconscious. Forget it, even if he did, what would happen? He saved my life in an extremely dangerous situation. Such a big favor, just take it. '

She moved her waist again, although she only moved slightly, but it was enough to feel the situation in the quilt. The quilt was warm and dry, without any peculiar smell. The embarrassment that happened before was like a dream.

In fact, even now when she thinks back, Lilith still feels embarrassed and her cheeks are slightly hot.

After a long while, she came to her senses and asked, "I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

The rustling sound of writing above her head paused for a moment, then continued: "No name."

"Forget it. How long was I unconscious this time?"

"More than half an hour. Oh, forget it, what else do you want to ask? Ask them all, and I'll answer you all at once." Rosen stopped writing with the feather pen in his hand. He raised his hand to cover his forehead, feeling a little irritated because his inspiration was interrupted.

Lilith heard Rosen's impatience, and she could understand it, because when she was concentrating on learning magic, she hated being disturbed the most: "I'm very sorry to bother you. I have a request."

"Tell me, I'll see if I can do it." Rosen didn't say it firmly.

Lilith said, "I want to ask you to do me a favor and go out to find out about Earl Derek's situation."

Rosen was very surprised: "Are you concerned about his life or death?"

He was sure that Lilith already knew that Earl Derek had also contributed to the poisoning incident, so strictly speaking, Earl Derek was already Lilith's mortal enemy. This girl is asking about this now, is she looking for revenge?

"Yes." Lilith's tone was very calm, and no emotion could be heard.

Rosen was even more surprised: "Then let me ask you, do you want him to die or live?"

Lilith looked at the dark corner and whispered: "Personally, of course I hope he dies. But compared with the interests of the college, my personal feelings are not important. My mission is to protect his safety. This is the mission assigned to me by the college, which is very important, so I hope he is still alive now."

"Even if he designed to poison you?" Rosen was stunned.

"Yes, even if he does this, I must protect him. Of course, there will be punishment afterwards, and Earl Derek must pay the price for his stupidity, but he cannot die."

"Even if he originally wanted to humiliate you? Even if he didn't think of saving you after escaping from the poison, but sent guards to search for your whereabouts everywhere, trying to silence you?"

"Even if he does this, I must complete the task!" Lilith took a deep breath, as if suppressing some intense emotions.

Rosen was convinced. He suddenly felt that this girl was very pitiful. She couldn't even do the most basic revenge for herself. This time, if she died, her death would be worthless, and she would eventually be destroyed by Earl Derek.

He couldn't help but sneer: "Oh~ You are really a perfect magician. Nirogard Academy will definitely be proud of having a magician like you."

If it were him, if he could survive by chance, once his body recovered, he would rush back to tear Earl Derek alive as soon as possible, no, he would torture him until he regretted coming to the world, and then he would end his life.

Lilith closed her eyes and whispered, "Can you do me this favor? If you are willing, I will do my best to repay you."

"To be honest, I don't want to help. But I've been bored here for several days, and I really need to go out. It's not impossible for me to help you find out about the Count." Rosen was very reluctant.

After that, he carefully put away the papyrus manuscript on the table, put it into a package, and then took out two muskets, a meat grinder and a spiral spray gun, from the package, and took out various bombs and hung them on his body. After preparation, he was ready to set off.

"I won't let you work in vain. What do you want to repay?" Lilith tried her best to turn her head and wanted to take a look at Rosen. As a result, she tried her best, but her neck was still motionless. The whole person seemed to be paralyzed and completely out of her control.

"No need to wait, I heard that you are the only space magician in the academy, right?" Rosen suddenly thought of something he was very interested in.

"Yes." Lilith nodded slightly, feeling relieved, finally this guy still wanted something.

Rosen sat back in his chair and asked curiously, "I want to ask about teleportation magic. Because according to my calculations, to break the space barrier and achieve instantaneous jump, you need extremely terrifying power. This power is so great that it can even turn the whole world into ashes, but the fact is not so. I am very curious, how did you do it?"

Space teleportation is the only thing Rosen can't figure out after coming to the alien world, because according to the theory on Earth, to achieve space jump, you must first open a wormhole, and opening a wormhole is very complicated. Not only do you have to open the wormhole, but you also need a lot of antimatter to maintain the stability of the wormhole.

And to create a stable wormhole that can pass through a fragile structure like the human body, the diameter of the wormhole must be very large, otherwise the curved space can easily tear the human body into elementary particles.

But the teleportation magic displayed by Dias and Lilith completely subverted Rosen's cognition.

After Lilith heard this question, she had a very strange look on her face: "Aren't you an alchemist? I think your power is at least the level of a one-star magician. You have such power at such a young age, don't you? Any advice from a famous teacher?”

"What's the meaning?"

"I mean, as long as you are a formal magician, you know the basic principles of teleportation magic."

Rosen looked surprised: "Then you just assume that I don't know and explain it to me?"

"Okay." Lilith sorted out her thoughts and said: "Teleportation magic appeared 700 years ago and was discovered by the great magician Weilan. He discovered that as long as you use magic to activate something called a space crystal, at the same time your mind By imagining the teleportation destination, you can reach the destination in an instant. There are two difficulties in this method. The first is that space crystals are very rare. The second is that although there are many magicians, not every magic can react with space crystals. , I am one of the few magicians on the continent who can activate space crystals."

Rosen listened very carefully, but after listening, he was disappointed: "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"That's not a space magician. Is it possible to use space crystals?"

"Yes. But the space magician needs to solidify his own magic power in the crystal. When used, the space magic power will be stimulated to help the user teleport. Of course, solidifying magic power requires mastering some knowledge of runes, which is a bit difficult, but as long as With some hard work, any magician can master runes."

"I see." Rosen thought of the magician Dias who teleported away. Now that he thought about it, the space crystal in his hand was most likely given to him by Lilith.

Although Lilith gave an answer, the answer was too general and superficial. It was only an explanation at the level of technical application, which was far from the physical principles that Rosen expected to use mathematics to explain.

Unwilling to give in, he asked again: "Is there any more explanation?"

"No. In fact, the academy's research on space magic is very superficial. For example, although I am a space magician, apart from teleportation magic, the only power I can really use in combat is the 'Space Jet' move. .You should have experienced this trick, right?"

Rosen recalled the magical power displayed by Lilith and nodded slightly: "I have indeed experienced it. It is very direct and very powerful."

He was very dissatisfied with Lilith's explanation, but considering the level of technological development in this world, Lilith could only give this level.

"Last question, is space crystal expensive? Where can I get it?"

Since Lilith couldn't give a deeper explanation, Rosen planned to do his own research.

Lilith: "It's very expensive. A complete and usable crystal costs about 5,000 gold dragon coins. It can usually only be used once. In addition, this kind of crystal is mined randomly. Some are in tombs, some are accompanied by minerals, and sometimes, Maybe a farmer can dig it out with just a hoe."

Rosen nodded thoughtfully: "Interesting."

Judging from Lilith's description, the space crystal does not look like a natural mineral, but more like some kind of ancient relic. There are still many strange human-like monsters in this world. Perhaps, there was indeed a very developed civilization in ancient times.

I asked everything I could, and although I didn't get the answers I expected, I finally gained something.

Rosen started to take action. He walked to a corner of the basement and moved the wrench: "I'm going out to inquire about the situation. You can rest peacefully, I will be back soon."

When the floor was halfway moved, Rosen stopped, turned back, and took out a flashlight: "This is an alchemy item, used for lighting. The candle will burn out later. If you think the room is dark, just click here." "

Rosen demonstrated how to use it and asked, "Do you understand?"

"I understand, is this the same thing as Count Derek's soft light ball?"

"Yeah, the same thing."

Rosen put the flashlight next to Lilith's hand: "Can you move your fingers?"

"I can barely move."

"You try it."

Lilith moved her fingers hard and turned on the flashlight switch, and the basement suddenly became much brighter.

Looking at the flashlight that emitted steady white light, Lilith's eyes showed uncontrollable curiosity. She felt that this thing was very magical, more mysterious than the space magic she was familiar with.

Seeing that Lilith's attention was attracted by the flashlight, Rosen said: "Then I will go out and I will be back in half a day at most."

There will be another update later
