The Last Alchemist

"Is he dead?" Lilith still didn't react.

"Should be dead."

Rosen took out his meat grinder gun and fired several shots at the blood hole in Richard's brain from a distance. After the blood hole as big as his finger expanded to the size of an eggplant, he walked to the body and used alchemy to Magic detects it.

The detection results showed that Richard had no breathing, his heart had stopped, his blood circulation had stopped, and he was already dead.

Rosen was completely relieved. As soon as he thought about it, the alchemical magic power began to carefully examine Richard's clothes. After about ten seconds, Richard's clothes moved slightly, and a small scroll flew out.

The scroll had been opened, and the outside was simply tied with a rope. Rosen opened the rope and opened the scroll, and found that it was a letter. The letter was written in Cowell's official script and contained about a hundred words.

Fortunately, Rosen, who was trained as an alchemist since childhood, is proficient in the texts and languages ​​​​of several countries, especially the language of the Kingdom of Cowell, the hometown of magicians. Rosen is even more proficient in it and is like a native speaker.

He first looked at the signature of the scroll and found that it was a letter written by Bishop Amram to Richard.

'Dear friend, my recent research has discovered that as long as I can unlock the secrets of the monster species' body, it is possible for me to reveal the secret of the great magician. I hope to get your help.'

It only has a few hundred words and can be read in just a few glances.

Rosen carefully savored Bishop Amran's words and said, "It seems that the relationship between these two people is much closer than what Richard said. In addition, both Amran and Richard are I am in awe of the great magician. It seems that the great magician has unparalleled power. Lilith, can you explain the reason? "

Lilith nodded: "Because great magicians are the beginning of mortal transcendence. They have almost endless power."

"Give me an example."

"For example, the thunder user Max, if he uses all his strength, he can use a terrifying thunderstorm with a range of more than 500 and an intensity that can melt steel. This is not a legend, because Max once used it once when fighting a ghoul siege. Nearly 3,000 ghouls were killed, including 2 giant ghoul lords.”

When Rosen heard this description, he felt incredible: "How is this possible for a thunderstorm with a range of more than one mile? Even if his body is made of iron, there is no way he can withstand such a huge consumption of magic power?"

As an alchemist with a magic power close to three stars, with ready-made materials, he was unable to make 6 tungsten steel warheads, and he almost collapsed. But summoning a thunderstorm with a range of one mile and an intensity that can melt steel consumes thousands of times the magic power of Rosen. They are also humans. Isn't this gap too big?

Lilith spread her hands: "I don't know either. In fact, I have the same question as you. The magic power gap is really too big, so big that it makes people despair."

"What about other great magicians?" Rosen asked.

"Not as good as Max, but equally disappointing. In fact, I feel that those great magicians are no longer human beings, they are gods. Otherwise, how could they have such terrifying power?"

Rosen found it more and more unimaginable: "Lilith, you are also a four-star magician. As long as you are promoted again, you will enter the realm of a great magician. Don't you have any clue?"

In fact, when he was in the game, he felt that the power of the great magician was a bit abnormal, but because it was a game, he did not delve into it. But now, this is a real real world, with such a powerful and heaven-defying power, It's really puzzling.

It's as if a person who looks ordinary can suddenly lift an aircraft carrier with his bare hands. If this were placed on the earth, he would not be a great magician, but would have to be changed to a superman.

Lilith looked confused: "I really don't know. If hearsay can be considered a clue, then I will tell you that everyone who can become a great magician is a lucky person who is favored by God."

Rosen couldn't help but spread his hands after hearing this, looking speechless because this answer was meaningless.

"Forget it, don't worry about it anymore, let's get out of here first."

Rosen put away the scroll, followed the clues left by the Flame Cultist, and walked forward along the passage. After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered something and activated the alchemy talent tree to check the gains from killing the Tin Orc Richard.

‘Currently have 0.7 free talent points? Not bad, not bad. The third level talent is Electronic Empowerment, and the fourth level is Magic Circle. Hey, why haven’t I seen this talent in the game? "

He immediately looked at the description of the magic ring.

Magic Circle (Incomplete)

Activation conditions: 10 free talent points.

Effect 1: Elemental perception ability +500, elemental control ability +2000.

Effect 2: The first part of the secret key to becoming a great magician.

(Note: From now on, the true meaning of magic will slowly emerge.)

"Hiss~"

Rosen took a deep breath subconsciously, feeling even more incredible: "What's going on with this talent? Have I reached the bottleneck of being promoted to a great magician? But my power hasn't improved much. Compared with Lily at her peak, How can I reach the realm of a great magician?"

He was puzzled, his thoughts were turning around, and his mind subconsciously turned back to the unimaginable infinite power of the great magician, and then thought of the great magician: "Lilith, do you know how many people there are in the academy?" A great magician?"

"I know of 12."

"What about the entire continent?"

"There are 19 well-known ones, 12 of which are in the academy, and the other 6 are in the free city of Berkeley. There is also 1 who is wandering around and has no fixed place to live." Lilith knows everything about the magic world.

"Who is the most powerful in terms of combat power?" Rosen asked.

Lilith thought for a while and said, "It's not clear about this. Everyone is afraid of each other. The power of Max, the thunder messenger, is very violent, but the pope of the Flame God Cult is not a vegetarian. Although the sage Niya is not very powerful in frontal combat, she can predict future disasters and blessings. It is said that she also has a magical magic called prophecy, which can determine life and death with a word. Anyway, it is very mysterious. It is said that those who have seen it are dead."

"." Rosen listened more and more mysteriously. He shook his head and took out the letter written by Bishop Amlan to Richard again.

"The secret of the monster's body, the secret of the great magician. Monsters, great magicians. Is there any connection between the two?"

For a moment, Rosen felt that his thoughts were tangled in clouds and fog, as if he had walked into a maze, and he had no clue at all.

After that, Rosen walked forward without saying a word, his mind was always lingering with the reverie about the great magician.

After walking for more than an hour, after turning a corner, there was a faint sound of "gurgling" water in front of him, and the water vapor content in the air increased a lot.

After walking forward for a few hundred meters, there was a light in front of him, not the dim light of candlelight, but the sunlight that penetrated in.

"The exit is in front!"

Rosen was overjoyed. He quickened his pace and walked forward. After walking more than 50 meters, he heard noisy voices coming from the entrance of the passage, as well as the bells and trumpets that can often be heard on the dock.

"It's the dock of the trade zone, and there is a clear water river outside the exit!" Lilith couldn't help shouting.

God knows how gloomy she felt when she was in the dark underground. She didn't know how many times she worried that Rosen would abandon her and escape alone. She didn't know how many times she was afraid that the two of them would fall into a pile of monsters and become their food.

What made her even more desperate was that she was seriously injured and completely powerless in the face of all this, and could only passively accept it.

Now, they finally got out!

Lilith's eyes turned red and tears flowed from her eyes.

Rosen started to run faster and faster.

A few minutes later, he ran to the exit. There were spiral steps next to the exit. After walking two or three circles along the steps, Rosen stood on the muddy road in the dock area. Around him were dock laborers, busy laundry women, playful children, and freight carriages coming and going. From time to time, you could hear the sailors' horns. The air was filled with the unique fishy smell of the dock area.

Finally, they returned to the ground again.

Rosen opened his arms, took a deep breath, and felt that the whole world was bright.

On his back, Lilith lay on his shoulders, her face full of tears.

No matter how dangerous the process was, no matter how desperate the road ahead was, the young man did not abandon her. He tried his best and finally fulfilled his original promise. This was a noble character that Lilith had never seen before.

If her parents created her body, then now, this young man redeemed her soul that had fallen into the dust of the world. He made her believe that there is not only the intrigue of interests in this world, but also true goodness, at least goodness for her.

She leaned close to Rosen's ear and whispered, "Alchemist, thank you for saving me."
