The Last Alchemist
Chapter 15: Just a Mortal's Flame
For Rosen, no matter who the pursuer is, the result is the same, they are all here to kill him anyway.
If weighed carefully, the benefits of killing Viken are obviously much greater.
After killing Viken, he may gain new free talent points and become stronger. After Viken died, they would destroy the body and eliminate all traces. It would take time for Blood Rose to notice his disappearance, and even more time to find the murderer.
If Blood Rose's pursuers are unlucky, they may never find Rosen. Even if he does find it, a long time must have passed, and by then, Rosen may already have powerful power.
Rosen had understood these considerations early on. Therefore, he was completely indifferent to Viken's threat.
After collecting all the missing minced meat and burning it into black beads, Rosen walked out of the cave, and Annie followed.
Outside the cave, Rosen walked around the outside of the cave. From time to time he would squat down and look at the rock wall of the cave. Occasionally he would nod inexplicably.
After walking around like this for a long time, Rosen reached the top of the cave. He pointed at a stone and said, "Annie, I need to drill a hole here and get it all the way into the cave. Can you do it?"
Annie squatted down and touched the rock with her hands, and found that it was ordinary mudstone. She jumped off the rock again, walked into the cave and checked, and determined that the target rock was only about 30 centimeters thick. With her strength, it is not difficult to dig through.
She picked up the half-broken steel sword: "No problem, how big should I dig?"
Rosen did not answer immediately. He returned to the cave again, picked up the bamboo pole, and carefully measured the size of the cave.
The cave is small in size, in the shape of an inverted funnel, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The bottom is irregularly round, with a diameter of less than 3 meters and a height of about 2.5 meters. It can be said that this is a natural small iron-making furnace.
After taking some measurements, Rosen walked out of the cave again and used charcoal to draw a half-meter circle on the rock: "Let's dig through this weak area."
Annie jumped to the top of the cave, and with a fierce force, the broken sword directly penetrated the 30-centimeter-thick mudstone. She shouted again, and used both hands to draw a circle in the mudstone, with a 'bang' sound. All the mudstone in the passage fell into the cave, and an exit with a diameter of half a meter appeared on the top of the cave.
The whole process seems as easy as cutting through tofu.
After the entrance to the cave was opened, the hot air accumulated by the burning bonfires inside the cave suddenly had a way out, and rushed out from the entrance. However, as a result, negative pressure appeared in the cave again. As a result, cold air flows into the cave from the cave entrance below.
As soon as you enter and exit, an air circulation is formed. The bonfire in the cave receives more and sufficient oxygen supply. The flames grow slightly and the temperature also rises.
This is exactly what Rosen wants to see, but if he wants to burn Viken to death, the temperature of the bonfire alone is not enough, and more intense flames are needed.
He jumped down from the rock and waved to Annie: "Come, let's move all the packages and luggage out of the cave, and drag out the bear carcasses. It's best to empty the cave. Then, let's take all the firewood in." Cave, by the way, take out Viken’s head and place it in a place with a good view of the cave entrance. I want him to take a good look at how I burned him to death!”
When Viken heard this, he was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot: "Little thing, I should have broken your neck last night!"
Rosen chuckled: "What a pity, there is no regret medicine in the world."
On the other side, Annie understood Rosen's intention. The cave now looked like an oversized farm stove.
She did as she was told, moved out her luggage and moved in the firewood. After moving the firewood, she took out Viken's head and stuck it on a stick at the entrance of the cave.
Finally, she turned to Rosen and asked, "Are these firewood enough?"
Rosen estimated the capacity inside the cave and shook his head: "Not enough, far from enough. If we go back to pick up more, we must fill the entire cave."
"I'll do it."
Before she finished speaking, Annie ran into the forest.
Rosen was not idle either. He piled up a small porous platform in the middle of the cave with gravel blocks, and placed all the vampire meat pieces that had been burnt into black beads on the platform.
He did it very carefully and meticulously, not even a black bead was missed.
Viken looked at Rosen's actions with cold eyes and sneered repeatedly: "Humph, a large stove? If the stove could burn me to death, someone would have done it long ago!"
Rosen smiled and asked, "What if there is a bellows added to the stove?"
"Bellows? You mean the blacksmith's furnace for making iron?"
Rosen asked: "Absolutely. The blacksmith's furnace can burn steel until it is red or even melted. It should be able to burn you to death, right?"
Viken laughed with relief: "Ha~ I thought you had some great skills, but it turns out it's a blacksmith furnace. If you only have this ability, then I advise you to take a rest as soon as possible."
"Why?" Rosen asked with a smile.
Viken sneered: "About 70 years ago, I tried to put my hand into a high-temperature blacksmith furnace filled with molten iron. Guess what the result was?"
Rosen thought for a while and said, "Your hand was burned. You soaked it in the bucket for a while, and then it returned to the original state, right?"
"Almost, but the real situation is more serious. I soaked for two days and two nights, and then sucked the blood of all the living creatures in a village, and then I fully recovered." Viken laughed, and suddenly said: "Oh, no, more than one village, should it be 2, or 3? I can't remember clearly, anyway, in my opinion, you humans are a wine bottle, and I am an alcoholic. Just like the alcoholics among you humans, you never count the number of bottles when drinking, right?"
Rosen nodded: "Yes."
Viken raised his eyebrows and asked: "What are you going to do now? Give up, or continue?"
Rosen also laughed, a grinning laugh: "Of course continue. I plan to use this furnace to verify whether you are lying."
"Ignorant, you don't know how powerful I am!" Viken laughed contemptuously.
At this time, a "rustling" sound came from the forest. Rosen turned around and saw Annie dragging a dead tree back. The trunk of the tree was more than 50 cm in diameter and more than 15 meters high. Annie dragged it back with one hand.
When she got closer, Annie put down the tree, patted the dust on her hands, and smiled: "Is it enough this time?"
"Enough, but it's better to chop these firewood into firewood. Each piece should not be larger than my forearm, and the size of each piece should be as consistent as possible."
"No problem, watch me."
Annie used the broken steel sword as a hatchet, flying up and down. In just 20 minutes, a dead tree that two people hugged became a pile of firewood. Finally, she moved all the firewood into the cave.
According to Rosen's instructions, she deliberately stacked these firewoods in a staggered manner next to the stone pile in the center of the cave, so that both the amount of burning materials and the smooth flow of air were guaranteed.
After all the firewood entered the cave, except for the air passage left deliberately, the rest of the cave was filled with firewood.
Everything was ready.
Rosen walked to one meter away from the cave entrance and stood still. He looked at the firewood in the cave and whispered to the vampire beside him: "Vampire, do you think I can succeed?"
Viken looked disdainful: "It's just the fire of mortals."
