The Last Alchemist

‘呲呲~呲呲~’

In a daze, Lilith heard a series of strange sounds coming from her ears, which were a bit like mice biting wood, and a bit like metal and pottery rubbing together. It was very strange.

‘What happened? ’ Lilith was curious.

She wanted to open her eyes, but she failed. She gritted her teeth and continued to work hard. After a while, she finally opened her eyelids, which were as heavy as a thousand pounds.

A white glimmer of light shone in from the slit in her eyes, and she saw the young alchemist who had saved her along the way for the first time, and she was relieved. As long as this person was there, it meant that she was still safe now.

As soon as her mind relaxed, she suddenly felt a swelling and pain in her head, and the blood vessels in her forehead were twitching. Every twitch made her head hurt.

'Uh~~It hurts~'

She subconsciously groaned.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Lilith found that her throat was tight, burning, and very uncomfortable. Her nose was also blocked, and it was very difficult to breathe. There were bursts of soreness all over her body, especially in the joints of her body, which were the most severe.

She was well versed in medical science, felt the symptoms, and knew she must have been sick due to a cold.

'This is really bad. ’

This is really a disaster that never comes singly. She is weak and in deep danger. If she gets sick again, even Lilith herself doubts whether she can walk out of the underground waterway alive.

‘Based on my current physical condition, I will first have a sore throat. If not treated in time, I will soon develop chest tightness and lung bleeding. The alchemist has to deal with monsters again and has no energy to take care of me. Even if he succeeds in taking me out of the underground sewer, I'm afraid I will end up seriously ill and die. ’

After discovering that she was sick, Lilith became more and more heartbroken as she thought about it. She felt weak all over, her prospects were bleak, and deep despair arose in her heart.

On the other side, Rosen heard the movement around him and suspended the matter at hand. He turned to look at Lilith and saw that her eyes were open and dark.

Feeling a little strange in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions and just said hello as usual: "Wake up."

‘Yeah~’ Lilith responded hoarsely.

"What's wrong with your throat?" Rosen asked strangely.

"I seem to be sick. My brain is dizzy, my throat is tight, and I feel very uncomfortable." Lilith's voice was low. As she spoke, she felt a sadness rising in her heart, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

‘Forget it, since God is determined to take my life, what’s the use of me struggling anymore? ’ She lamented in her heart, feeling that the whole world was dark.

"Oh, let me see."

Rosen put down the strange-looking disc in his hand and put the back of his hand against Lilith's forehead to feel it. He felt a chill, which was at least 2 degrees lower than normal body temperature. The symptoms of hypothermia were obvious. He picked up the flashlight again, gently pinched Lilith's mouth open, looked into her throat, and found that it was red and swollen.

"Hmm~ It's probably a cold. Don't cry, don't cry. It's just a minor illness." Rosen estimated that it was caused by the patrolling death guards.

With such comfort from him, Lilith's despair found an outlet. She collapsed emotionally, pursed her lips, and shed tears: "Uuuuuu~ Alchemist, I... I feel uncomfortable all over, cough~ cough~ I'm afraid .I’m afraid I’m going to die, wuwu~~ I don’t want to die, I haven’t repaid you yet, wuwu~”

She was crying so hard that she was out of breath, and coughed a few times from time to time. Her face was covered with snot and tears, and her obviously beautiful face was wrinkled like a bun.

Rosen was very confused after hearing this. Isn't this just a cold? Why do you think of death all of a sudden?

However, after thinking about it, he understood Lilith's fear. Medical skills were backward these days, and the common treatment method was bloodletting, and colds often killed people. Lilith's fear was not without reason.

Thinking of this, he activated his alchemical magic and gently helped Lilith clean the tears and snot from her face. After cleaning, he gently patted Lilith's head and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't forget "Yes, I am an alchemist and a pharmacist. I will get you some medicine."

After speaking, Rosen opened the package, took out a small wooden box, opened it, and found a syringe and penicillium anti-inflammatory powder. He carried this thing with him, originally to deal with accidental injuries during the battle. He didn't use it, it was just for Lilith.

Skillfully mixed the potion, extracted it with a syringe, lifted the quilt, quickly lifted the left side of Lilith's skirt, exposing half of her buttocks, and then without hesitation, inserted a needle into Lilith's left buttock.

‘Well, her skin is like cream, and her shape is like a peach. ’

Unavoidable with distracting thoughts, Rosen moved quickly, pushed the potion in quickly, and then immediately pulled down the skirt to cover it again. By the time Lilith felt the pain, he had already taken the needle back and covered her with the quilt again.

Lilith was lying there and couldn't see Rosen's movements. She only felt that she was bitten hard by something on her buttocks. Her eyebrows squeezed together in pain: "It hurts! Alchemist, what on earth are you doing?" What did I do?"

"Medicine. It can make your nose and throat feel better." Rosen explained casually.

Penicillin is an antibiotic and is ineffective against cold viruses, but it can kill bacteria, so it is effective for Lilith's strep throat and rhinitis. It can quickly eliminate inflammation and protect Lilith from other concurrent infections. Had this cold.

"Medicine? Shouldn't medicine be taken? Or it's just for wiping. Why does it hurt so much? Did you just bleed me?" Lilith felt a throbbing pain in her buttocks, and her thighs also followed. A dull pain arose.

"Bloodletting? No, no, no, of course not. Don't worry, in terms of medical skills, you are definitely not as good as me, so don't make random guesses. Have a good rest and you will get better soon." Rosen put away the needle without bothering to explain. He turned around and picked up the strange-looking disk.

He didn't want to say more, and Lilith was helpless. Fortunately, she believed that Rosen would never harm him, so she had nothing to worry about, but she was still in a gloomy mood.

The sudden sting made her sober. She looked around her surroundings and found that she was lying on the floor of a small house. The house had doors and windows, and some strange furniture was placed along the walls.

"Are we back on the ground?" Lilith asked expectantly.

"No, it's still underground. But I found a monster willing to take us back to the surface."

"Monster? Are you willing to take us back to the ground?" Lilith thought this sounded fantastic.

"I used force to coerce him."

"Okay." Lilith believed it immediately.

After being quiet for a while, she became interested in the strange disk in Rosen's hand again: "What are you doing?"

"Forge weapons."

"Weapon? Such a small disc?"

In Lilith's eyes, the disk was as big as a child's hand, and the material was similar to metal. There were many patterns on the surface of the disk that looked like magic runes. However, she carefully recalled all the magic runes she had learned, but found that none of them could That's right.

In short, this disc looks strange.

"Okay, don't think too much about it. If you are sick, take a good rest. Get some sleep. Maybe when you wake up and your weapons are ready, we can set off and return to the ground."

Most of Rosen's attention was on the disk, and he ignored Lilith, and his attitude could not be more perfunctory.

Seeing Rosen's concentration on the disk, Lilith couldn't continue to ask, so she could only stay aside and watch silently.

One took action and the other watched, time flew by quickly, two hours passed in a blink of an eye.

Lilith looked at it carefully and intently for two hours, and finally saw something. When Rosen paused to think, she asked softly: "Alchemist, are you building a magic weapon that can release ray magic?"

"Huh?" Rosen was slightly surprised: "Why do you think so?"

There was no expression on his face, but there was a wave of excitement in his heart: 'This girl is indeed a 4-star magician. She is worthy of her reputation as a genius. She can even see this. ’

That's right, his disc is a laser weapon. It is a high-energy laser weapon just like the scarlet ray once used by Magician Brown.

The difference is that he did not use ruby ​​as the laser working substance, but a specially modified piece of glass.

The reason is simple, because he does not have rubies on hand, and using electrons to synthesize rubies, even if it is just a small piece the size of a thumb, is a very difficult job. Moreover, rubies may not be as useful as the piece of glass he has on hand.

Lilith naturally didn't know what Rosen was thinking. She looked at the disk and said, "I guessed it. The runes on your disk are 50% or 60% similar to the scarlet ray magic ring, but they are different in many places. ”

‘Oh~’ Rosen suddenly realized. After thinking about it for a moment, he didn’t hide it: “It is indeed a ray magic weapon.”

Lilith was suddenly puzzled: "Since it is a ray magic weapon, the ruby ​​​​is an indispensable magic core. But you use a piece of glass instead of the ruby ​​​​. I'm afraid this won't work, right?"

Rosen chuckled: "How do you know if you don't try it? Maybe God will take pity on us and make this thing useful?"

"The gods will not interfere with such noisy matters. Furthermore, magic is a rigorous power, and any mistakes are intolerable. Even if it is the smallest thing, as long as there is a mistake, the magic will not be activated." Lilith couldn't help but refute.

Rosen laughed and didn't refute. He lowered his head and connected the last wire on the disc. After testing it for a while, he put the disc into the package and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry about it." , even if this thing is useless, I still have other weapons in my hand."

Without waiting for Lilith to answer, he asked again: "I think you are in good spirits. Have you recovered from your illness?"

"What's wrong with you?" Lilith coughed lightly and took another breath through her nose. She was greatly surprised: "My head doesn't seem to hurt much anymore, my throat can hardly feel the pain anymore, and my nose is better hidden. Wait, It’s your medicine! What kind of medicine did you give me? How can it be so effective?”

"Haha, don't forget, I am an alchemist."

Lilith was not easy to deceive, and she was very curious: "There are many alchemists in the academy, but no one can refine such a medicine. Please tell me quickly, what kind of medicine is it?"

Seeing that she was trying to be serious again, Rosen simply ignored her and turned towards the wooden door and said, "Little one, I'm ready to rest. Come in."

"Squeak~"

The wooden door was pushed open immediately, and a little guy with big eyes ran in excitedly: "Man on the ground, you finally have a good rest. I can't wait to eat fresh pork!"

"Pork? What kind of pork?" Lilith was confused. She looked up and down at the little monster. It was too small and didn't look threatening at all, so she wasn't frightened.

"Stupid! Pork is just pig meat." The little monster looked at Lilith with contempt.

"." This was the first time Lilith was evaluated like this.

Rosen took out the rope, stood up, fixed Lilith on his back again, then picked up the package and said, "Little one, let's go, lead the way."
