The Last Alchemist

In a remote alley next to the Flower Hotel, there was a sudden flash of light, and immediately after, three living people appeared out of thin air. It was Rosen and Annie who had escaped from the illusion barrier.

Rosen threw the unconscious Dallas to the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This guy is as fat as a pig, but I am exhausted!"

Annie looked around the alley. There was no one there, but she could hear the sounds of people coming from the streets outside. She asked, "Where are we now?"

"It's about 100 meters behind the Flower Hotel, and just two streets across from the hotel. It's not safe here yet. We have to get out of here quickly."

Annie immediately picked up Dallas: "Then where are we going now? The Blue Moon Mansion?"

"Of course not, the Blue Moon Mansion is no longer safe. We need to go back quietly to the Prancing Pony Mansion."

The Prancing Pony Mansion is their base camp, and if that place is exposed, things will become very troublesome. If he still wants to hang out in Nirogard City in the future, he must remain anonymous.

Anne also knew this clearly. She thought for a while and said, "There are too many people during the day, so let's find a place to stay for a while and go back at night."

"I listen to you." Rosen agreed.

The two of them walked deeper into the alley, and finally found a remote corner that was off the beaten path, and waited patiently for darkness. Fortunately, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was late winter again. After an hour, the sun set. , the sky quickly darkened, and after a while, the surrounding environment became full of shadows. Pedestrians also went home one after another, and the street quickly became quiet.

"Let's go." Annie carried Dallas and walked first, followed by Rosen.

Although it was night, the two of them still walked cautiously along the remote alleys to the west of the city. Once they found someone in front of them, they hid in a dark corner and waited patiently for the other person to pass. In order to avoid being followed by some monsters, Rosen used alchemical magic to eliminate the breath along the way.

After walking cautiously for more than half an hour, the two finally returned outside the courtyard wall of the Prancing Horse Mansion.

Rosen glanced at the concierge guarding the gate of the mansion, and whispered to Annie: "I'll go in first to take care of him. When I send off the servants, you can get this fat pig in through the back door."

"Where to hide this guy?"

Rosen thought for a while and said, "Well, hide it in the underground training room."

"clear."

After the discussion, Rosen arranged his clothes and hair. After making sure that his clothes were neat and his appearance was clean, he strode towards the gate of the mansion.

He was the owner of the mansion, so naturally he would not be blocked. Soon, he entered the Prancing Pony Mansion. When he reached the courtyard, he took just a few steps when Veronica rushed towards him.

She looked lost. When she saw Rosen, she looked up and down his body, then glanced behind him, her eyelids twitching violently: "Where is the stalker? Is something going to happen?"

Although the two of them would bicker inexplicably when they met, she still didn't want to see anything really happen to Annie.

Rosen shook his head: "Of course not, everything is safe. I also brought that fat pig back. You are here just in time. Come with me to the back door and help us cover ourselves so that the servants don't see us."

Veronica breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little impressed: "It's okay. But you are really good, you can actually bring that guy back."

After returning to the mansion, she felt frightened when she thought of the illusion barrier. She was feeling a little restless when she was alone in the mansion. At first, she was worried that a magician would use some unknown method to follow her back to the mansion to cause trouble for her. As she thought about it, she began to worry about something happening to Rosen.

When she thought that something might happen to Rosen, Veronica became even more panicked. She didn't know what she was feeling in her heart. The smile appeared on the corner of Rosen's mouth, and for a moment he was worried that Rosen would die on the street.

Just when she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go back to the Flower Hotel to find out what was going on, she heard Rosen's voice.

At that moment, her first action was to rush out of the room to check what was going on. After seeing that Rosen was safe and sound, her wandering mind immediately settled down. It felt like a drowned sailor seeing land.

Of course, Rosen didn't know what Veronica was thinking. He raised the corner of his mouth as usual: "To be honest, I almost didn't bring him back."

Veronica's heart tightened: "What, is the process dangerous?"

"That's not true." Rosen laughed softly: "Because that fat pig is too heavy. If Annie hadn't been so strong, I really don't know how I would have done it.

He got it back. "

Veronica was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help crying or laughing. She couldn't help but stretched out her fist and lightly punched Rosen's shoulder: "How long has it been? You still talk nonsense with your mouth!"

Rosen immediately covered his shoulder, grinned, and said with a painful look on his face: "This hurts a lot. My shoulder seems to be dislocated."

Veronica suddenly became a little nervous: "No way? I didn't use any force."

Rosen laughed: "Haha, Winnie, it seems you were frightened today and lost your mind. If I had known you were so timid, I wouldn't have taken you to do such dangerous work."

Veronica was deceived again, and she was mad and angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "Little liar, it seems I have to find a time to pull out all your sharp teeth!"

When Rosen saw that she was about to explode, he immediately stopped. He said with a solemn expression, "Okay, okay, no more joking. Annie is still waiting outside the door. We have to hurry up."

Veronica couldn't keep up with the pace. The anger she had just released was stuck in her heart. She didn't know whether to release it or not. After holding it in for a long time, she said viciously: "For Annie's sake, let's forget it this time! I'll go and drive those curious servants back."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared. After about a few minutes, she suddenly returned to Rosen's side: "Okay, it's safe."

Rosen walked to the back door and let Annie in. The three of them walked into the mansion and entered the underground training room.

After closing the thick wooden door of the training room, Annie let go and threw Dallas on the ground, and began to rub her wrist: "This guy must be at least 300 nero pounds, heavier than a pig!"

Rosen laughed and stretched out his foot to lift Dallas's fat belly: "Don't worry, he will be tortured and thin soon."

After speaking, he moved his mind, and an ice water ball flew out of the water tank next to the training room, and hit Dallas' face with a "splash".

"Ah~ Spare my life! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

As soon as Dallas woke up, he waved his hands around and started yelling before he even opened his eyes.

Rosen and the other two stepped aside and watched his performance quietly.

After a while, the guy calmed down. He opened his eyes and looked around the underground training room. Finally, his eyes fell on Rosen's face, and his face turned pale: "Young man, do I still have a chance to get out of here?"

This guy was clear-headed, which could save Rosen a lot of effort.

Rosen shook his head: "It used to be possible, but not now. The most I can do is to make you die quickly."

"How quickly?" Dallas smiled bitterly.

"My eyes went dark, and I was gone."

"What if I don't say it?" Dallas asked again.

Rosen looked Dallas up and down and said calmly: "You will be tortured until you say it. Believe me, I know a lot of ways to torture people, but I won't use them unless it's absolutely necessary. The key now is, will you let the situation reach a point where it's absolutely necessary?"

Dallas looked desperate: "Young man, in fact, when I was at the Flower Hotel, I was very tempted by your proposal, but unfortunately, I had no choice at all."

Rosen frowned: "So, you are going to let me go to the last resort?"

"No." Dallas shook his head, took a deep breath, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I don't know much about the whereabouts of Bishop Amlan, and I don't know how to lure him out. The only clue I know is that a room on the top floor of No. 4 Flea Lane in the east of the city was once a place where Bishop Amlan stayed. Perhaps you can find more clues in that room."

After speaking, Dallas closed his eyes.

Rosen said to Annie, "Give him a quick death."

Annie nodded, walked to the wooden rack nearby, picked up an iron sword, and walked to Dallas. With a shake of her hand, the sword flashed like lightning, and a very subtle blood mark appeared on Dallas' forehead.

"Plop~" Dallas fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

"Clang~" Annie threw the sword back to the wooden rack.

Rosen activated the alchemical magic and began to deal with Dallas' body.

About half an hour later, Dallas completely disappeared from the world. Rosen exhaled, walked to a chair beside the basement and sat down, and said to Anne and Veronica: "I'm going to the top floor of No. 4 Flea Alley, I'm going there alone. During this period, you should try to stay in the mansion and don't go out. Wait until this storm is over."

Veronica disagreed: "You alone? What if something happens?"

Rosen shrugged: "Let it happen. I have saved nearly 100,000 gold dragon coins in the warehouse. Such a large sum of money is enough for you to eat and drink for 100 years."

Veronica was furious: "What time is it, are you still kidding me?!"

Anne also frowned: "Rosen, how confident are you?"

"I know nothing about the power of Bishop Amlan, so... basically nothing." Rosen spread his hands.

"You should have a countermeasure, right?" Anne asked again.

When Veronica heard it, she suppressed her anger again and waited for Rosen to answer.

Rosen nodded: "I met a 4-star magician in the Blue Moon Mansion. She is a magic expert. I plan to consult her about magic-related issues."

Annie bit her lip: "Okay, although I don't like that magician. But at this time, only she can help."

Veronica couldn't help but said: "Rosen, I don't understand why you have to make trouble for Amlan? Aren't we living well now?"

Rosen smiled: "Because Amlan is a member of the Flame God Cult, and he is the mastermind behind all the assassinations of nobles in the city."

"So what? What does this have to do with us?"

"Because the target of the Flame God Cult is magicians and various monsters. Coincidentally, I am a magician and you are a monster."

"Then leave here, hide far away, and find a quiet place to live in seclusion, isn't it enough?" Veronica was still puzzled.

"I don't want to live in seclusion." Rosen smiled faintly.

Veronica was speechless for a long time before she said helplessly: "You are so troublesome! I am so unlucky to meet you!"

Aside, Annie looked at Rosen and said seriously: "You must come back alive."

"I will try my best." Rosen laughed.

Seeing the atmosphere was a bit heavy, he clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, that's all for today, let's all go, take a break if you need to, eat if you need to, I also have to make some preparations."
