The Last Alchemist

"Hu~Hu~"

Rosen consumed a lot of physical strength by jogging with a load and maintaining the detection of alchemical magic at the same time, and his breathing became a little rapid.

"Take a break?" Lilith whispered.

"No need. Also, don't talk, it will distract me." Rosen shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the sewage behind his body suddenly accelerate, and there was a rapid turbulence, and something swam quickly in it.

"The water ghost is coming!" Rosen's heart tightened, and the muzzle of the spiral spray gun turned over in a flash.

"Hua La~~"

With a loud noise, a water column as thick as an arm suddenly shot out from the sewage in the waterway, aiming at Rosen's back.

The super-fast reaction of the undead worked. At the critical moment, Rosen's alchemical magic detection instantly determined that the person coming was not a water ghost, but a water column carrying huge power.

'Another test! But the water column was fast, and if Lilith was hit, she might not be able to withstand it. ’

At this moment, he still did not shoot, but gritted his teeth and rushed forward with all his strength.

"Bang~~"

The water column brushed Lilith's quilt and rushed over, hitting the wall of the underground passage, making a loud noise, and also broke several bricks on the wall. Some of the splashing sewage hit Rosen's side face, and Rosen felt as if his cheek was pricked by a needle.

With this power, if it hit Lilith's back, she would definitely vomit blood and die.

Lilith was shocked and her whole body shook, but she bit her lips tightly and held back the scream of fear in her throat.

After the water arrow, Rosen felt an object rushing up from the sewage behind him.

His alchemical magic could not detect the inside of the object, which was enough to show that it was the real body of the water ghost!

It happened so fast that when this thought was still turning in Rosen's mind, the sewage made another loud "splash" sound, and a black shadow rushed out of the sewage like an arrow and rushed straight to Rosen's back.

"Waiting for you!"

Rosen turned his right hand suddenly, and the spiral big spray gun was roughly aimed at the direction of the water ghost. The situation was critical, and he didn't care about using alchemical magic to cover up the gunshot, and pulled the trigger directly.

"Bang~~Bang~~Bang~~~"

The bright gun flame and the deafening gunshot burst out together, and the hot alloy steel ball flew out at high speed in a radial shape with the muzzle as the center, completely covering the narrow passage, forming an airtight death net.

The reason for choosing to use the spiral big spray gun instead of the meat grinder is that the shotgun has a wide attack range. In the narrow underground corridor, there is no need for precise aiming, and the shotgun bullets carry great kinetic energy, which has a strong repulsive effect at close range.

He fired six shots in a row, emptying all the bullets in the spiral gun. Then, Rosen's mind condensed, and the alchemical magic turned into a virtual hand, "grabbing" new bullets from the package and quickly stuffing them into the revolver magazine.

At the same time, the meat grinder gun in his left hand was not idle.

He used a trace of alchemical magic to detect the specific position of the water ghost in the air, and the meat grinder gun adjusted the muzzle direction according to the position, and then continued to shoot.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

Rosen still shot all the bullets in the meat grinder magazine in one breath.

A lion fights a rabbit with all its strength, not to mention a powerful water ghost.

After the meat grinder gun had used up all the bullets, the spiral gun had been reloaded. Rosen repeated the previous operation, reloading the meat grinder gun, and aiming the spiral gun in his right hand forward.

This time, Rosen did not shoot, because the alchemical magic detection told him that the water ghost was knocked down on the walkway next to the sewer, and his body did not move, so it was very likely that he was dead.

‘Hu~Hu~’

Rosen was panting heavily, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and both arms were shaking slightly.

Although the battle was short, it was thrilling. As long as he made an operational error, it would be him and Lilith who fell to the ground, not the water ghost on the opposite side.

After a long pause, Lilith asked: "Is the monster dead?"

“It’s possible.”

Rosen could clearly feel the female body on his back trembling slightly. He knew that Lilith must have been scared just now, but she suppressed her fear from beginning to end and did not make any sound, which was very rare.

Reaching out and gently patting Lilith's back, Rosen softened his tone and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you out of here."

Lilith's heart trembled, and she whispered: "Yeah, I know."

With a light sound of 'click~',

Rosen took out a flashlight and shone it forward. On the walkway about fifteen meters away, a naked humanoid monster with black and purple skin fell motionless in a pool of blood.

'Black and purple skin, blood-red eyes, webbed feet, about 1.6 meters tall, with extremely developed muscles like a muscular man, in an explosive shape, and a fish-lip face with sharp teeth behind the lips, and fish gills behind the ears. It is indeed a water ghost. '

Water ghosts, as the name suggests, are monsters that live in water.

They are distributed in any place with water, whether the water is the water of rivers, lakes, or the dirty water of the sewer, as long as they are in the water, the combat effectiveness of water ghosts will double, becoming extremely difficult to deal with.

In fact, except for the mistake at the beginning of the battle, the water ghost did not make any mistakes. His only mistake was to underestimate Rosen's fighting ability.

Rosen, who had a modern musket, had a fighting ability far exceeding that of ordinary warriors of this era.

So, this water ghost failed.

Rosen fired 12 shots in a row, and the storm-like metal torrent almost tore its body into pieces.

After observing for more than ten seconds, Rosen whispered: "It's dead."

After confirming that the water ghost was dead, Rosen activated the talent panel. In the upper right corner of the panel, the free talent points changed from 1.1 points to 1.7 points. This water ghost provided him with 0.6 free talent points.

"Not bad, not bad~ My second-level electromagnetic sickle talent has accumulated 52% proficiency. With these 1.7 points, I can not only max out the 'electromagnetic sickle', but also seem to be able to activate the third-level talent!"

This discovery made Rosen very happy. If the second-level alchemy talent is considered to be an entry in alchemy, then opening the third-level talent is the realm of entering the hall.

He turned his eyes to the third level of the talent tree. Above the electromagnetic sickle, a new talent that can be activated has appeared. The talent name is: Electronic Empowerment!

Electronic Empowerment (to be activated)

Special Talent (only one layer can be activated)

Effect 1: Element Control +1000.

Effect 2: Alchemists can condense alchemical magic into photons containing specific energy (energy can be positive or negative), and give the photons to specific energy level electrons outside the nucleus, so that the electrons are at a higher or lower energy level.

(Note: The number of electrons that the alchemist empowers at a time is linearly related to the alchemist's power. Every 1000 points of element control can empower 0.1 mole of electrons per minute.)

The talent of electronic empowerment is really too powerful, because the reactions between all things in the world, except for gravity and various nuclear radiation phenomena, are all magic of electrons and photons.

If electronic empowerment is activated, Rosen can accurately control most of the material changes in the world, which is simply a god-like ability.

However, the underground waterway is not safe and is not a good place to improve talents. Rosen suppressed the joy in his heart, put away his equipment one by one, took only a flashlight in his hand, and then turned around and strode back to the previous entrance.

After walking for a few minutes, Lilith suddenly asked: "Alchemist, did you make all your weapons yourself?"

"Yes." Rosen nodded.

"Then do you have some kind of potion similar to the power of Thor?" Lilith asked again.

"The power of Thor?" Rosen didn't react for a while.

Lilith explained in detail: "It is a powerful weapon used by the Flame God Cult on the battlefield. It looks like a big iron pipe. The potion filled inside is the power of Thor. After igniting, it can throw a big iron ball weighing five or six pounds two or three miles away."

Well, Rosen was shocked by Lilith's mind again. In this era when guns and cannons have just appeared, it is really smart to see the same basic principles behind modern guns and primitive cannons in a few glances.

Facing such a smart person, it is not a good idea to hide it. In fact, it can't be hidden.

Rosen simply told the truth: "Oh, you are talking about this. Well, your guess is not wrong, I do have a similar potion, but my potion is more than ten times more powerful than the power of Thor, and it is more perfect."

Lilith's beautiful eyes lit up: "Is it so powerful? What is the name of your potion?"

"Trinitroglycerin."

"Trinitroglycerin? Is it the kind of glycerin used to moisturize the skin?" Lilith was confused.

"Yes, you guessed it right."

"What does trinitro mean?"

"I won't tell you." Rosen smiled.

"."Lilith was itching to do it. As a magician of Nirogard, she had personally participated in the defense of the free city of Berkeley. When the power of Thor of the Flame God appeared, she was deeply shocked by its huge power.

She was very curious about the Thor's Power Potion that caused all this, but the Flame God Cult was very aware of the great value of this potion and kept the secret of the potion strictly guarded, so until now, no one knew what this thing was.

But now, a young alchemist actually had a potion with an effect far beyond the power of Thor, and Lilith couldn't help but be tempted.

If it were someone else, she would definitely try every possible way to get this potion, but this person happened to be her savior, and she had sworn to the gods. If the other party didn't want to, she would be completely helpless.

After thinking for a while, she asked cautiously: "Well, what do you think I should do to know the secret of this potion?"

"Give money." Rosen answered concisely.

"Just give money?" Lilith was stunned. Such a treasure, selling it for money, this... this is unreasonable.

"It's very expensive. The finished product costs 2,000 gold dragons per kilogram. If you want the formula, it will cost at least 100,000."

"100,000 gold dragons?" Lilith asked. This is too cheap. You know, the Thunder God's Power Potion of the Flame God Cult is priceless. In order to obtain the secret of the Thunder God's Power, the academy has sacrificed more than a dozen magicians.

"Yes."

"Then when I return to the academy, I will immediately collect money and buy it from you!"

Rosen whistled softly: "Okay. Miss Lind, since you said that, I will do my best to escort you back to the academy."

He didn't know too many explosive formulas. Selling one to Nilogard Academy was not a big deal. Moreover, although trinitroglycerin is a good thing, it would be useless without diatomaceous earth as a stabilizer. Hehehe.

Anyway, he will definitely make a fortune by getting in touch with Lilith. Well, when trading, he has to keep his identity secret carefully, otherwise he will be in great danger.

At this time, the two returned to the previous entrance. Rosen picked up the flashlight and looked at the entrance for a few times. He couldn't help but curse: "Damn Green!"

The exit was still there, but it was blocked tightly. Not only was the wooden stairs removed, but the exit was also smashed. The wood and rubble were piled up. Rosen suspected that the entire basement might be filled.

This exit is useless. There is no way to get out from here.

"Ms. Linde, is it possible to use teleportation to escape after you recover your strength?"

Lilith smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's impossible. You know, without the space crystal, it's impossible to teleport."
