The Last Alchemist

Stone House Hall.

"Now?" Rosen still felt a little guilty, not because of fear, but because he had no experience at all in this area.

"Yes, right now."

"What should I do?" Rosen asked in a low voice.

Lilith came close to Rosen's ear and whispered for a while.

Rosen listened carefully, and when Lilith finished speaking, he savored it carefully. After five or six minutes, he nodded slightly: "I generally agree with what you said, but there are some details that I think need to be discussed."

Unexpectedly, Lilith smiled slightly: "You don't need to discuss the details with me, just do it as you think."

Before Rosen could respond, Lilith had already stood up, strode to the middle of the stone house hall, and said loudly: "Everyone, look over here, look over here."

People inside and outside the hall were still eating the magic potatoes in their hands. Their stomachs were full and they were not panicking. When they saw Lilith's unusual behavior, everyone's reaction was just to turn around and look at her. At the same time, they did not forget to take a few bites of their hands. magic potatoes in.

After shouting several times and seeing that everyone's attention was already on her, Lilith continued: "Everyone, turn around and look outside. The prosperity of the past has been reduced to ruins. The college, garden area, trade area, and dock , everything was swallowed up by the ruthless flames. All the relatives and friends present were killed in the hands of endless monsters. In the disaster, everything was destroyed, and we survivors had no shelter or food. After eating this meal of magic potatoes, I don’t know where the next meal will be.”

Everyone listened silently, and Lilith's words evoked people's sad memories. Some people began to cry silently, while others slowly put down the uneaten magic potatoes in their hands and carefully hid these precious foods in their pockets.

Lilith continued: "Some people may think so, thinking that they can leave these ruins and find a way out of the city. But the fact is that there are still a large number of monsters in the city, and they have regarded Nerogard as their nest. Monsters. Not only do they block the way out of the city, they also covet us all the time. Once someone leaves alone, they will immediately become a delicious meal in the mouth of the monster! "

"Woo~~~" There were low exclamations from the crowd. Obviously, many people did not realize the seriousness of the problem before.

Lilith increased her voice and said loudly: "We are facing a desperate situation! We can no longer survive by relying on our own strength. However, I want to live, and I believe that the vast majority of people here want to live. So the question Here we go, what should we do?”

"Buzz~~~"

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd.

From yesterday to now, many people are still immersed in the pain caused by the loss of loved ones and drastic changes in their lives, without thinking about how they will live in the future. Now, as the day and night pass, people gradually accept the facts. At this time, they have full stomachs, and they naturally think about the future.

Lilith chose this time to ask this question, which just revealed the worries in most people's hearts.

"Yeah, what should we do?"

"Isn't there Master Rosen? Whatever Master Rosen says, do it."

"Why does Master Rosen keep helping you? He is not your father!"

"What should I do?"

Many people are confused, and many people become anxious when they think of a desperate future.

Lilith said in time: "I have been thinking about this issue during this period of time. After thinking about it, I finally found that if I want to overcome this difficulty and avoid being hunted by monsters, the only way out is to follow the strong. ! In this dark and cruel world, we must have a strong and wise leader, and a kind and generous leader! "

When the words reached this point, many people reacted, and their eyes subconsciously turned to Rosen.

Here, Rosen is the only strong one!

Lilith turned around suddenly, bowed deeply to Rosen, gave a big salute, and then said loudly: "First of all, I want to thank Master Rosen for his life-saving kindness. The night before yesterday, if Master Rosen hadn't arrived in time, Come on, I, and all the magicians present, must have become food in the monster’s mouth.”

"Me too! I also want to thank Master Rosen!" Vincent walked out of the crowd and bowed to Rosen.

Old Claude was also a human spirit. As soon as he saw Lilith's actions, he immediately guessed her intentions. At this time, he also walked out of the crowd and saluted Rosen: "Master Rosen risked his life and was seriously injured to save us. I am afraid that old Claude will never be able to repay his debts in this life. From now on, I will My life belongs to you, Master. I will do whatever you ask me to do!”

As the two took the lead, more people followed.

"Thank you, Master, for saving your life."

"Master Rosen, please help us."

"Master Rosen."

In the chaos, Lilith shouted: "Quiet! Quiet! Let me speak!"

People gradually became quiet and turned to look at her.

Lilith said to Rosen sincerely: "Master Rosen, I implore you to become our leader, help us, and lead us. In return, we will also obey your orders and follow your guidance. If anyone disobeys Whoever you order is our enemy!"

Rosen was silent and noncommittal.

When they saw him like this, everyone panicked, fearing that Rosen would not agree, abandon everyone, and leave the academy.

"Master Rosen, please! Save us!"

"You must never leave us alone!"

"Master Rosen."

Amidst the pleading, Rosen finally stood up. He walked slowly to the middle of the hall, stretched out his hands and pressed down: "Be quiet."

The crowd immediately fell silent, and people looked at him uneasily.

Rosen's face was cold, without any emotion or anger, and his voice was low, with a hint of weariness.

"I have always been a pure alchemist. My hobby is to stay alone in the alchemy room and do all kinds of wonderful experiments. When I gain a new result in the laboratory, it is also The happiest moment in my life. I feel that I should always live this simple life."

These words sounded wrong, and everyone became a little nervous, fearing that Rosen would say no.

Rosen suddenly changed his tone: "When God gives blessings, it should be the most festive time of the year. In noisy festivals, I don't like to participate in person, but I enjoy being alone not far away. Watch the acrobatics in the square. This is me too. One of the reasons I like the city of Nerogard is that it is very prosperous and lively, but you can always find many quiet corners where you can enjoy it all. However, the monsters came, and they destroyed everything, Nerogard, and everything else. Everything I like!”

People listened quietly, seeming to think of the happy days of the God Festival.

The sentimental women secretly wiped away their tears, and most of the men's eyes were red. Even the most indifferent people felt clogged in their hearts. The one-eyed wolf sat blankly in the corner and sighed lowly. He thought of his mistress, that miserable woman who was torn in half by the monster right in front of his eyes.

Rosen waved his arms vigorously, suppressing his anger, and growled: "I was very angry! I immediately jumped down from the building and attacked those monsters crazily! I killed many monsters, including werewolves, ghouls, and water monsters. Ghosts, ghost babies. I kill them all the way, and chase them back all the way. When I finally returned to the mansion, I found that everyone in my mansion had been slaughtered by monsters, and my family was also kidnapped by monsters. I have great power. I killed so many monsters. In the end, , but still can’t protect my family!”

Rosen's voice was filled with anger. Not far away, Annie's eyes were red, and she was holding Little Alice's hand tightly. And little Alice was already crying so hard that she thought of her mother.

The crowd was silent, everyone listened attentively.

Many people discovered for the first time that although Rosen was very powerful, he was also a human being with flesh and blood and emotions, rather than a high-ranking magic master who was isolated from worldly affairs.

After a while, Rosen continued in a low voice: "The cruel truth tells me that there are too many monsters, and it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person. If you want to truly defeat them, the only way out is, Just unite together, cultivate more powerful warriors, and form a powerful army. Only in this way can it be possible to drive the monsters out of Nerogard! Only in this way can it be possible to avenge the dead relatives! Rogard!"

Many people were excited by what he said, and they all echoed.

"Yes, rebuild Nerogard!"

"Kill all the monsters!"

Rosen raised his hand: "Quiet, I haven't finished speaking yet."

After the crowd quieted down again, he looked around everyone and said in a low voice: "Rebuilding Nerogard is my dream. But this is very difficult and cannot be accomplished with a moment of enthusiasm. Before agreeing to me, you must Think clearly! Everyone has his or her own ideas. Have your own freedom. For those who are willing to follow me, I will do my best to live up to your expectations. For those who have different ideas from me, I will also respect your choice and give you enough food and water. Build a boat for you and escort you out of Nerogard from the Blue Water River."

Upon hearing this, Lilith was stunned for a moment. This incident completely exceeded her expectations.

People were silent.

Many people choose to follow Rosen because there is no other way out, but now, Rosen is actually willing to escort them out of Nerogard by water, and also gives them food and water. In the eyes of many people, this path is much better than staying in Nerogard and fighting monsters.

After more than ten seconds, a young woman asked weakly: "Master Rosen, are you really willing to escort us out of Nerogard?"

Rosen nodded: "I keep my word!"

As soon as these words came out, people immediately started talking.

"Marina, how about we go?"

"No, I won't leave! There is no safe place in this world!"

"Claude, what are your plans?"

"Me? Where can I go as an old man? Of course I will stay."

"."

In the chaos, Lilith quietly walked up to Rosen and whispered: "Rosen, if we do this, we will probably lose more than half of the people!"

Rosen nodded: "I know. But I think that to rebuild Nerogard, working together is more important than simply having more people."

Lilith sighed softly: "That's fine."

After waiting for about half an hour, Rosen said: "Okay, the time is almost up. Those who choose to stay, please stand on the left side of the hall. Those who choose to leave, please stand on the right side of the hall. Let's start now."

The crowd silently divided into two groups.

There were about 360 people in the wave on the left, of which the elderly, children, injured, and weak women accounted for more than half, and there were only more than 100 mature men. The group on the right is mostly young and strong people, the total number is close to 500.

The magicians are also divided into two groups, with a total of 32 magicians, 11 on the left and 21 on the right. Among them, Tarot and Lanster are in the right group.

Among those who chose to stay, more than 60 were children, and 40 of them were orphans. Excluding the injured, there were only 150 people who could really help immediately.

This situation is much better than Rosen expected, especially with more than 100 young adults. These people had more choices, but they still followed him and their loyalty was quite high. These people are the elite backbone among the followers, the kind who can be entrusted with big things.

Rosen looked at the person on the right and said loudly: "Very good, it seems that everyone has made their own choice. I will also respect my promise and escort you across the Bishui River safely as soon as possible. Wait until the other side of the Bishui River On one side, we have nothing to do with each other.”

He then said to the people on the left: "Thank you for your trust. I, Rosen Laplace, will never let you down!"

Hearing these words, in the crowd on the right side of the hall, the corner of Magician Tarot's mouth curled up slightly, with a sneer on his face. He couldn't help but whisper to Magician Lanster beside him: "Haha, I hope this guy can always Keep that confidence.”

Lanster didn't speak. He looked up at Rosen, who was making a serious promise in the middle of the hall, and then at Tarot, who had a mocking smile on his face. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the smile on Tarot's face was particularly hateful, and It's a shame that he would stand with such a person.

Gritting his teeth, Lanster walked out of the crowd on the right and walked towards the crowd on the left.

Tarot was startled, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Lanster's hand, trying to pull him back: "What are you doing? Have you forgotten how you were beaten last night?"

Lanster struggled to break away from Tarot's hand: "You don't have to worry about it!"

He walked out of the crowd, reached the middle of the hall, looked at Rosen, and asked loudly: "Master Rosen, are you really planning to rebuild Nerogard?"

Rosen was a little surprised. He looked at the angry magician Tarot in the crowd on the right, then turned to look at the young magician Lanster: "Of course!"

"Then I am willing to follow you!" Lanster walked towards the crowd on the left.

The magician Tarot was stunned, and it took him a long time to realize: ‘Another idiot! ’
