The Last Alchemist

After the accident happened, Rosen was the first to react.

He strode up to Annie, glanced up and down Annie's body, and asked urgently: "How are you, are you injured?"

Annie felt warm in her heart and shook her head: "I'm fine, I was just shocked. But this little girl seems to have something wrong."

Rosen was still worried, so he grabbed Annie's hand and checked it. After confirming that Annie was indeed uninjured, he walked over to the little girl and first checked the ashes on the ground. There was very little ash, which showed that in a very short period of time, the cotton fibers had been burned completely, which is extremely difficult to achieve under natural conditions.

He activated his alchemical magic power again and carefully explored the air conditions around the little girl's body.

‘There are still traces of high temperature remaining in the air. The closer to the opponent’s body, the higher the temperature, etc. There is also a weak force in the air that is competing with me for control of air molecules. This is magic! The source of magic turned out to be this little girl! ’

Rosen probably already knew what was going on. He withdrew his magic power, looked down at the curled up little girl, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you."

The little girl raised her head slightly, glanced at Rosen quickly, and then quickly lowered her head. Her whole body curled up again and she was trembling slightly, as if she was afraid of Rosen's punishment.

Annie hurriedly walked up and comforted softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Under her soft comfort, the little girl's body gradually relaxed.

Rosen then continued to ask: "Can you tell me, what is your name?"

The little girl lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, her fingers moved and began to write on the bed board.

Rosen watched carefully, and when the little girl finished writing, he said, "Your name is Garoni?"

The little girl nodded slightly.

"It's a good name, it sounds nice." Rosen praised.

The little girl looked up at Rosen again, with a stiff and awkward smile on her delicate face, but she quickly lowered her head again.

Rosen thought for a moment, then turned to Anne and said, "Garoni must have awakened her magic talent. She is very unfamiliar with this power now and can easily lose control and hurt others. For the safety of others, she must be separated from other children. Placement. In addition, the academy magician is more experienced than me in magic-related training, and I will assign a magician to give her special guidance as soon as possible."

"I understand." Annie nodded.

Rosen turned to look at the little girl Garoni and comforted her warmly: "Garoni, congratulations, you will become a powerful magician in the future, and no one will bully you again."

The little girl looked slightly happy and nodded vigorously.

After Rosen once again gave some instructions on how to take care of these sick orphans, he turned and left the compartment.

For him, it was nice and good to have orphans who could awaken their magical talents, but that was all. Because in his mind, to complete the task of rebuilding Nerogard, he would not rely on someone's magical talent, but on the knowledge he mastered.

After walking out of the cubicle, Rosen walked to sit down next to the magician Huma and asked, "How do you feel?"

Magician Huma recovered very quickly and is now able to sit up on his own. He was reading a magic book, and when he saw Rosen approaching, he quickly put the book aside, straightened his body, and wanted to salute Rosen.

"Don't bother, your health is important." Rosen quickly stopped him.

Huma relaxed and said: "If you just lie down, you can hardly feel the pain in the wound. My problem now is that I feel very hungry and want to eat, but unfortunately, I can feel that my intestines are still It takes a little while to heal.”

"Haha." Rosen couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, at this rate, it should be almost done tomorrow."

After speaking, he turned to look at all the magicians present and said, "Actually, I have a plan that I want to discuss with you in detail."

When he said this, all the magicians present became serious, and the magician Huma also sat up straight.

Rosen did not say anything immediately. He said to the least injured magician: "Dalos, go outside and call all the magicians in."

"Yes, Master." Magician Rodas stood up and walked towards the door.

After a while, Lilith came in with a few uninjured magicians. After seeing Rosen, Lilith and others performed magician etiquette on Rosen, and then sat around Rosen.

Seeing that all the magicians had arrived, Rosen said: "Now, we have established a long-term plan to rebuild Nerogard. Next, we should discuss a specific action plan. I thought about it carefully and found that we The things to be done in the future are very tedious, including but not limited to building defensive fortresses, training soldiers, driving away monsters, Rescue the survivors in the city, etc. Among these things, I personally feel that the first two are the most important and urgent, because only by building a strong defensive fortress and training strong enough warriors can we have someone to rely on. Only with a solid backing can we have the strength to move forward. So, everyone, please share your thoughts on these two points.”

Everyone listened carefully, but after Rosen finished speaking, everyone was silent for a long time.

Rosen waited for a while, but no one spoke. He asked curiously: "What's going on? Lilith, what do you think?"

Lilith's body trembled, and she said bravely: "Master Rosen, I'm very sorry, I really can't think of any good solution."

"Why?"

"I think we have too few people. There are only 377 people in total, and only a little over 100 are capable of heavy physical labor. It is really impossible to build a strong defensive castle on the ruins in a short time."

The other magicians also nodded in agreement.

The magician Huma said: "Master Rosen, as for the fortress, relying on the existing strong outer walls of the academy, it can be used for a while. However, training warriors who can resist monsters does not happen overnight. The strong big We don’t have any strong men, strong steel armor, or powerful alchemical potions.”

"Master, what do you think?" someone asked.

Rosen really has an idea.

He raised his hand and pressed it down. After everyone calmed down, he said: "I carefully inspected the ruins of the college. I found that although all the buildings were destroyed, the building stones were basically preserved. I observed Although these stones are in dilapidated condition, they can be used With some alchemical techniques, these stones can be completely recycled and reused. It is naturally impossible to build a new fortress in a short period of time. However, based on the college's protective wall, we can make up for the defensive loopholes and create a simple-looking but fully functional fortress. But not big.”

"Alchemical techniques to recycle stone?"

"Never heard of it."

"Is this okay?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "I have done experiments and it is completely feasible. With the current manpower, the fortress should be built in half a month."

Lilith said: "Okay, we have the fortress. What about the warriors?"

Rosen naturally thought about it: "As for soldiers, we have to mention muskets. I have done a lot of in-depth research on muskets. This new weapon is easy to operate and powerful. As long as there are a sufficient number of muskets, depending on the location of the fortress, , combined with some reasonable tactics, is enough to keep ordinary monsters out of the fortress.”

"Musket?"

"Fireguns are good, but as far as I know, neither the fire muskets of the Flame God Cult nor the flintlock guns newly built by the academy are very reliable. They can't shoot accurately. If they are not operated properly, they will explode. ." Magician Lanster said.

"It's true that it's powerful, but that thing can't hit accurately."

These magicians are all elites. They have a basic understanding of the most advanced weapons of this era, and they have all seen muskets with their own eyes. The academy had produced a batch before, which had some effect in fighting monsters, but they didn't believe that they could rely solely on these muskets to deal with monsters.

Rosen chuckled: "The muskets I made are not the same as the muskets in the academy. Well~ Lilith has seen the power of this with her own eyes."

Lilith nodded: "The muskets made by Master Rosen have amazing reliability and accuracy. I don't know how effective they are when used by others. What I have seen with my own eyes is that when faced with the muskets in Master Rosen's hands, the brutal A werewolf is no more threatening than a wild dog on the roadside."

"Hiss~ Is it so useful?"

"Really or not?"

"It is true that it is powerful in the hands of Master Rosen, but can it be guaranteed to be powerful in the hands of ordinary people?"

After all, they had not seen it with their own eyes. Although Lilith testified, the magicians were still dubious.

Faced with doubts, Rosen smiled confidently: "I can guarantee that ordinary people can exert great power with a little training. If dozens of people cooperate together, they can form a terrifying metal storm. Basically no monster can Close to our fortress."

After hearing this, the magician Huma said: "I have no problem. So, what can I do to help next?"

"This is what I want to say next." Rosen smiled at Huma and continued: "Next, I must focus on making guns and building materials. This cannot take into account the production of magic food. So, here we are There are a total of 12 people, divided into two groups, one group will be my assistant, and the other group will follow Lilith and assist her in making magic food."

"No problem." Lilith nodded in agreement.

"Then, let's make specific manpower arrangements."

Before Rosen could finish his words, a young woman's scream suddenly came from a compartment in the hall, and immediately after, a cold wind blew out from the corner of the compartment.

"What happened again?!"

Rosen quickly stood up and rushed towards the cubicle.

When he arrived at the cubicle, he saw that the ground and walls in the corner were covered with a thick layer of frost. In the center of the frost, the little girl Garoni squatted on the ground in fear, and not far from her, the female doctor Beyoncé fell to the ground. Her face turned pale with fright, but fortunately she was not injured. Annie stood behind Beyoncé, also looking at a loss.

Seeing Rosen arriving, Anne hurriedly explained: "Garoni didn't do it on purpose, she was just very sensitive. Beyoncé wanted to walk over and test her temperature, but she walked too fast and scared her."

"I understand, as long as everything is fine." Rosen nodded, reaching out to pull up the female doctor Beyoncé who was lying on the ground: "Leave Garoni's treatment to me from now on."

"Yes, Master." Beyoncé's face was as white as paper. She recovered a little and hid far away.

At this time, Lilith also arrived. She glanced at the little girl Garoni and immediately said "Huh".

"What's going on?" Rosen asked immediately.

"I want to take a closer look."

Lilith got slightly closer to the little girl Garoni and used her magic power to carefully observe Garoni's condition. As a result, the more she looked, the more surprised she became. In the end, she could not conceal her surprise.

"What's going on?" Rosen asked hurriedly.

Lilith turned her head and whispered in Rosen's ear: "According to my observation, her magic power is no weaker than that of a 1-star magician, but she looks no more than six years old now. At such a young age, with such strong magic power, I have never seen such a strong talent!"

"So strong?" Rosen was also shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that this little girl's magic talent was terrifyingly strong. He remembered that when he first crossed over, his talent was pitifully weak, and he was exhausted even to control a trace of airflow. Compared with the performance of this little girl, the gap is quite large.

Lilith continued: "If she is well-trained with this talent, her future achievements will be immeasurable!"

Rosen was thinking this: "Why don't you train her?"

Unexpectedly, Lilith shook her head: "No, I can't. I dare not mess around with such a genius. I think you are the best candidate."

"Me?" Rosen was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "I can't do it alone, and I don't have the time. In my opinion, all the magicians here have their own areas of expertise, so why don't we teach together."

At this time, the magicians also came over. Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"I feel very honored."

"I am willing to do my best."

"Me too."

Lilith asked: "What is the name of this little girl?"

"She said her name is Garoni."

"Garoni?" Lilith was stunned again.

Seeing her like this, Rosen asked hurriedly: "Is there any problem?"

"Oh~ Nothing. I just think this name is a bit strange. According to legend, the left hand of the god, the purifier of the world, is called Garoni."

After hearing this, Rosen was slightly startled. If it were Earth, he would always be dismissive of legends and myths, but in this alien world, many facts have proved that legends and myths are often a distorted expression of past history.

This little girl has the name of a god, and she has such a powerful magical talent, which makes it difficult for people not to associate.

However, Rosen finally felt that it was unlikely: "It should be just a coincidence. You don't know, this little girl also has a serious lung disease. If she hadn't met me, she would definitely die. The left hand of the god shouldn't be so miserable, right?"

"According to legend, Garoni has always been loyal to the gods. Except for the great war to destroy demons ten thousand years ago, she has never been born. This little girl should just happen to have a powerful talent." Lilith didn't think about it anymore.

Rosen clapped his hands and said, "Then let's continue the discussion. Oh, Annie, Galoni can't control her magic, and staying here is prone to accidents. During this time, I will take care of her."

"That's fine." Annie nodded.
