The Last Alchemist

In the stone house hall, Rosen slowly sat down next to a fire in the corner and carefully untied the gauze on his shoulders.

Lilith stood beside him and asked, "Shall I help you?"

"Well, I'll trouble you." Rosen nodded.

He had just experienced a life-and-death battle and was seriously injured. Even if he had an undead physique, he could hardly bear it anymore. At this time, Rosen felt that his head was dizzy and his body was even more exhausted.

Although he knew in his heart that the civilians he rescued were in urgent need of food and cold-warming supplies, he also knew in his heart that if a solution was not found soon, something would definitely happen, but he didn't want to do anything now and just wanted to lie on the ground. Have a nice sleep.

Lilith squatted next to Rosen and carefully untied the strip of cloth on his shoulder. After the last strip of cloth was untied, she saw a black wound on Rosen's shoulder the size of a baby's fist, and the wound was covered in blood. A piece of the wound could not be seen clearly. Then, she found another hideous wound on her back.

Lilith is a four-star magician and is very familiar with magic damage. Based on the shape of the wound, she roughly guessed the magic that caused the wound: "Oh my God, it's the Holy Fire Ray of the Church of Fire!"

Holy Fire Ray, a 4-star magic, can easily penetrate the target's body after being hit. What's even more terrifying is that the huge energy carried by the ray will also make the blood near the target's wound boil. If it hits an ordinary person, no matter how strong the target is or which part of the body is hit, the person will be instantly knocked unconscious due to the tremendous pain and will directly lose combat effectiveness.

Rosen was hit in a vital part, but he still remained conscious. He was able to walk all the way back and continue fighting. His body was so strong that it was almost inhuman.

Lilith suddenly recalled her experience in the underground city, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Rosen, are you really a monster?"

At this point, after experiencing so many things together, she no longer cares whether Rosen is a monster, she just wants to know the exact truth.

Rosen glanced at her and then looked in other directions. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he chuckled and said, "This matter is very complicated. To put it simply, I used to be an ordinary person with some alchemy talent. Until one night, a vampire attacked my family's manor and my parents died tragically. , I was also bitten by a vampire on the neck and sucked blood. Fortunately, I did not die, but since then, my body has undergone some strange changes. For example, it recovers quickly when injured, its reactions have become much faster, and its strength has also increased. Quite a bit. Of course, I have no special taste for blood so far."

"Oh~" Lilith's heart trembled slightly, her face full of apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this."

"It's okay, it all happened a long time ago." Rosen waved his hand, not caring.

Lilith inspected Rosen's wound more carefully. After looking at it for a while, she felt that she couldn't see clearly. She used her magic power to explore it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It stands to reason that the holy fire rays will burn out a front-to-back path." It's a serious wound, but I see that your wound has recovered a lot, and your recovery ability is indeed very strong."

Rosen tilted his head and looked at his shoulder, then took out a clean piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to Lilith, gesturing for her to re-bandage it: "It's not possible to recover so quickly just by relying on your body, but don't forget, I am also a human being. Magician."

"That's right." Lilith smiled softly. The physique of magicians is naturally incomparable to that of monsters, but because of their magical power, they have extraordinary control over their bodies. Magicians can basically handle ordinary injuries. He recovered quickly, which was also the main reason why the seriously injured magicians in the hall were able to survive.

She carefully bandaged the wound, and while she was bandaging it, she suddenly felt Rosen's body move. When she looked up, she saw that Rosen had his eyes closed, his head lowered, and he was already asleep.

Viewed from the side, there is still a trace of childishness on his face. When he is sleeping, the lines on his face are much softer than when he is awake, and he looks no different from an ordinary teenager.

As she watched, a strange emotion arose in Lilith's heart. There was pity, mixed with a trace of something inexplicable. She subconsciously relaxed the movements of her hands.

After the wound was bandaged, she took another blanket, carefully laid Rosen's body flat, and then covered him with Tangzi.

Rosen was sleeping very deeply and was completely without his usual vigilance. When Lilith made this series of actions, he didn't react at all.

'He must be exhausted. ’

Not knowing what she was thinking, Lilith couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently touched Rosen's face.

At this time, a young magician came over: "Master Rosen. Uh~"

Lilith was stunned and woke up with a start. She felt her cheeks were hot. After regaining her composure, she said softly: "Let him have a good rest and we'll talk over there."

The magician immediately silenced himself.

The two walked to the other side of the hall, and Lilith asked, "What happened?"

The magician whispered: "There was a commotion among the civilians outside. Many people just started fighting over a few hidden meat pies."

Lilith was shocked: "Didn't I tell you to keep the food shortage a secret? Who spread the news?"

The magician spread his hands and said with a bitter look on his face: "No one has spread it. There are also smart people among the civilians, and they have almost guessed the truth. Those people only believe in Master Rosen and must ask him to come out and give an explanation."

Lilith was impatient. She turned her head to look at Rosen, who was sleeping soundly beside the fire not far away. Then she turned to look at the magician who was recovering from his injuries in the hall. A trace of fear emerged in her heart: "There are more than 800 civilians. Now most of the magicians are recuperating from their injuries, and Rosen is also seriously injured. There are only 5 people who can really fight. Now, everyone is under extremely high pressure. Once a mutiny-style commotion occurs, no one can suppress it. Maybe many magicians would die in the riot. ’

Once this kind of riot to vent despair breaks out, even Rosen will have a hard time suppressing it, and many people will definitely die.

"What to do? What to do?"

Lilith was a little panicked. She really couldn't think of any good solution and could only walk towards Rosen. At this time, only Rosen can stabilize the situation.

"Rosen~Rosen~ wake up." She gently shook Rosen's shoulders.

Rosen slept very deeply. Lilith rocked him for several minutes before Rosen woke up in a daze. He still closed his eyes tightly and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"

Lilith leaned into his ear and quickly explained the situation.

At first, Rosen was still listening in a daze, but when he heard the commotion of the civilians, he felt a jolt in his heart, and he completely woke up: "You said, those people want to see me?"

"Yes, they want you to give an explanation." Lilith looked troubled.

Rosen suddenly felt a severe headache. He asked, "Have you found a way to get food?"

Lilith shook her head.

Rosen's headache became more and more serious: "Then how can I explain it to you?"

"How about you make up a story and say that you are thinking of a way to ensure that you can find food tomorrow and stabilize the situation first, and then we will have one night to come up with an idea." Lilith suggested.

"." Rosen was speechless. At first, he thought this idea was ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was all he could do now: "Okay, I'll go talk now."

He rubbed his face vigorously to drive away the remaining sleep, then stood up and walked towards the balcony on the second floor.

When he got to the balcony, he saw that the civilians on the ruins of the college were already in obvious commotion. Many people were shouting excitedly, and some even started to fight. Children were crying, and women were either following their men or Huddled in the corner and shivering.

It's like a powder keg. It only takes one spark to explode, causing irreparable consequences.

Rosen's forehead was covered with sweat. He quickly checked the energy pool. He had just rested for a while. About 5 kilograms of TNT-equivalent energy had been restored in his energy pool. It wasn't much, but it was enough to protect himself.

He immediately extracted 1 kilogram of energy, pointed it at the sky, and exploded!

"Boom, boom, boom~~"

There was a loud thunder-like sound, as if a big hand fell from the sky and slapped the ground hard. The noise of the crowd suddenly disappeared without a trace. Everyone turned around and looked at Luo Luo on the balcony. Sen.

Seeing that he had calmed the people down, Rosen raised his voice and said loudly: "Everyone, you guessed it right. There is indeed not enough food and warm shelter in the college. The only thing we have is safety. Here, Monsters never dare to appear, and you don’t have to worry about being attacked by monsters while you sleep!”

After hearing Rosen's words, the crowd once again started to commotion. It didn't matter if they didn't have a place to live. There was a fire, so they could get through it if they endured it. But without food, people will soon starve to death.

In order to avoid the monster, everyone has been hungry all night. Many people are hungry and dizzy. Coupled with the cold weather, everyone's sanity is on the verge of collapse.

Rosen knew that his words were not very convincing, so he continued: "However, I ask you to rest assured that if I, Rosen Laplace, can save you from the monster, I will definitely be able to find enough food! If I really can’t find it, I’ll go catch fish in the Bishui River and feed you too!”

At this point, Rosen's heart suddenly moved: 'Yes, the Bishui River is right next to it. There are fish in the river. You can find a way to catch fish! ’

Thinking of this, he suddenly gained confidence and shouted: "I, as well as the magicians in the academy, will do our best to protect everyone's safety. Here, I will give you a deadline, and we will definitely find it tomorrow, tomorrow morning." Food! Do you believe me?"

People looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything.

At this time, Vincent walked out of the crowd and shouted: "What are you all thinking? Mr. Rosen tried his best to save us. Isn't such a noble person worthy of trust?"

Claude immediately responded to the crowd: "That's right! Mr. Rosen, we believe you!"

Paran is also a smart man and immediately shouted: "Master Rosen, we believe you!"

Motivated by this, everyone shouted in unison: "We believe in you!"

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, just wait for my good news!"

Seeing that the mood of the civilians had stabilized, Rosen felt relieved. He immediately walked down the balcony, returned to the lobby on the first floor, and said to Lilith, "I just thought of an idea to go fishing in the clear water river."

Lilith's eyes lit up, but then she frowned: "This is a way. However, we have no fishing nets or boats, and no one knows how to fish. How about I go outside and ask who is the fisherman?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from the door of the hall: "This method won't work."

Rosen turned around and saw Annie walking in bravely. Carrying on her back was the heavy sniper rifle Rosen had made. She walked up to Rosen and bent down to look at the wound on Rosen's shoulder. , asked with concern: "How is the injury?"

"It's not a big problem. You just said fishing is not feasible? Why?" Rosen asked.

Annie sat down by the fire, carefully placed the sniper rifle, and then said: "When I went home, I passed by the Bishui River. I found a lot of dead fish floating on the river. I checked the dead fish and the flesh was blue. , the bones are black, they were all poisoned.”

Lilith was startled: "Hiss~ You mean, the river was poisoned?"

Annie nodded: "Not only was the river water poisoned, but the wells in the city were also poisoned. I investigated again later and found that it was all done by monsters. Not only were they poisoning, they were also emptying the city of food. ”

"Those monsters want to trap us in the academy." Rosen understood. He thought about it carefully and said, "Poisoning the water is not a big problem. I can extract the toxins from the water. Those fish should be fine, as long as they can be caught, treated and eaten.”

"I'm afraid I can't get it back." Annie smiled bitterly.

"Why?" Rosen asked.

"The water is full of water ghosts. When I came back, they had already started catching fish!" Annie sighed.

Lilith's face turned pale when she heard this, and she murmured: "This must be the big lord's idea. This method is really poisonous!"

"Annie, only the three of us can know this news, do you understand?" Rosen whispered.

If word of this gets out, those civilians will explode immediately.

"I understand." Annie nodded.

"Then what should we do now?" Lilith asked in a low voice. The most they can do is wait until tomorrow morning. If they can't get food tomorrow, the civilians will definitely be in trouble.

Chaos, that is definitely a human tragedy.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let me think about it."

Rosen also had a frown on his face. He thought about it over and over again, and his eyes swept around the stone house, trying to find a way out. Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on

On the penicillin he synthesized before.

‘Penicillin is an organic matter, and food is also an organic matter. What the human body needs is nothing more than glucose, amino acids, glycerol, cholesterol, and phospholipids.

Small molecule organic compounds are available! ’ His eyes lit up.

Food is just an energy carrier. He has a huge energy pool, but he is still worried that he cannot synthesize food?
