The Last Alchemist

The magician who attacked suddenly retreated.

As soon as he left, the energy supply stopped completely, the restlessness of the earth subsided, and everything returned to silence.

"Huh~"

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

'Fortunately, this guy retreated on his own. If I had persisted for a while longer, I would have run out of energy and that would have been exposed. '

This underground magic confrontation was silent, and the only change was the temperature of the earth.

Because there was a fire burning underground, the temperature of the ground under Rosen rose by several degrees. The moist soil was heated, and water vapor kept coming out of the cracks in the soil. When it met the cold air of late autumn, it condensed into white mist.

"It's quite warm, like a warm kang, but the mist is too eye-catching."

Rosen stood up, walked out of the foggy bushes, and walked towards Mary and her daughter in the distance.

Mary's one eye showed obvious awe. When Rosen approached, she trembled and knelt on the ground: "Lord Rosen, you... you must be the messenger of God!"

"Uh~"

Rosen instinctively wanted to explain, but then he thought that this thing was not familiar at all and could not be explained clearly in a few words. On the contrary, if Mary mistakenly thought he was the messenger of God, it would greatly increase her trust.

This sense of trust is very useful for the subsequent treatment.

Thinking of this, Rosen did not refute, and smiled. He reached out and took little Alice from Mary's hand. Little Alice was awakened by the previous movement. On her thin cheeks, a pair of big eyes looked at Rosen without blinking.

Rosen couldn't help but gently stroked Alice's sparse hair and asked, "Alice, are you scared?"

Little Alice shook her head, looked up at Rosen, and said in a tender voice, "Brother will give Alice delicious food, Alice is not afraid."

Rosen felt warm in his heart and said seriously, "Alice, brother promises that I will cure your illness."

Little Alice looked longing: "Okay, okay, when I get better, I can go catch butterflies with Niuniu next door."

Rosen nodded gently, feeling more sympathetic.

After a moment of silence, he turned to Mary and said, "Calculate the time, Annie should be back in a while."

Mary hesitated and said cautiously, "I heard that mutants are all unreliable. You have to pay a lot of money to ask them to catch monsters. They all like money very much, and they can do anything for money."

The implication is that they are afraid that Annie will take the money and run away.

Rosen was unhappy and said lightly: "Mary, you don't know Anne, don't make random comments."

Mary immediately shut up.

After that, the three of them waited silently in the bushes.

About half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves came from the mud road in the distance. About a few minutes later, a black-covered carriage turned out from the bend in the distance.

On the front seat of the carriage, Anne wore a brand new steel-scale leather armor, and a brass hair ornament on her head, combing her thick black hair neatly behind her head.

Perhaps because of the rush of time, the leather armor was a little tight, but it made Anne's good figure more prominent.

At this time, Anne looked heroic, agile and feminine. Under the sunlight, the steel scales and brass headdresses on the leather armor shone brightly. From a distance, she looked like a female war god.

Rosen was dazzled and stayed for several seconds before he stood up and waved to Anne.

She had been looking around, and as soon as Rosen appeared, she saw him, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her face. The goddess of war in the previous moment turned into a bright girl in the next moment.

Rosen was fascinated again.

When the carriage came closer, Anne controlled the carriage to turn around on the muddy road, then jumped off the front of the carriage, opened the side door of the rear canopy, and waved to Rosen: "Get in the car!"

Rosen walked over with little Alice in his arms. As soon as he reached the door of the carriage, he smelled a strong fishy smell. He couldn't help but take a step back and wondered: "What a strange smell?"

Anne spread her hands: "I collected some stinky pickled fish at Sunderland Dock. This can cover up the smell of Sister Mary, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the town guards."

When Rosen heard this, he immediately felt that Anne was thoughtful and praised sincerely: "What a good idea."

After Rosen carried little Alice into the carriage, Mary also climbed into the carriage.

Anne at the door reached out and handed over a small porcelain bottle: "Here, green crystal ointment for stopping bleeding, for Sister Mary."

"Okay."

Rosen took the green crystal ointment into the carriage tent, tore off the cotton cloth on the wound on Mary's leg, activated the alchemical power to disinfect the wound, applied the medicine, disinfected the cotton cloth again, and then bandaged it again.

After doing all this, Rosen looked up and saw that Sister Mary was crying again.

"My Lord, you are so kind."

"Uh~ It's nothing."

Rosen was really not good at dealing with such a scene, so he simply jumped out of the carriage tent and sat side by side with Anne in the front seat of the carriage.

"It's getting late, let's go."

"Okay." Anne whipped the horse whip, and the carriage started slowly.

When the horse was steady, she turned her head and said to the back: "Mary, there are two hooded linen cloaks in the carriage tent, you and Alice both put them on. By the way, I also bought a bag of meat pies, and there is also clean water next to it. Just eat if you are hungry."

"Okay." Mary responded vaguely. She was obviously very hungry. Seeing that there was plenty of food, she started to eat voraciously.

Rosen was also a little hungry. He saw a bag hanging on the front of the car. He opened it and saw that it was also filled with a lot of meat patties. There was also a clear water bag hanging next to it. He didn't hesitate to take it out and eat it.

Because he frequently used alchemy and he was still growing, he was particularly hungry and had a good appetite. He could eat anything with relish.

After eating a big meat pie and drinking a mouthful of water, Rosen leaned back on the carriage with satisfaction and rested for a while. He then said to Annie, "We were attacked by a magician just now."

"What?" Annie was startled and immediately turned her head to look at Rosen carefully. After confirming that he was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened?"

Rosen shook his head, "I don't know much. I just sensed his power, but I didn't see him. From the perspective of power, he is very strong, much stronger than me, but his power control is quite poor. I guess he is very likely hiding in the distance and using some means to increase his power. Fortunately, I still have some means and discovered his attack in time, otherwise, we might be blown up by a fire magic."

In the game, he has dealt with magicians a lot and has a good understanding of magicians' methods. Looking back, Rosen felt that the magician probably used a magic circle, otherwise the attack distance would not be so far and the power control would not be so bad.

Anne frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Could it be Dias from Caopo Village who did it?"

Rosen nodded: "It's very likely, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't be sure."

As soon as he finished speaking, Anne put her hand on the hilt of the newly bought fish-scale steel sword: "I have long felt that there is something wrong with this Dias. He is indeed problematic. Wait for me here, I will go and catch him now!"

Rosen hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive!"

"He has already attacked you, what are we waiting for?" Anne insisted on catching the magician.

Rosen still shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to do it, but because I'm not sure. Anne, you should know that when you are fully prepared, the magician is the most dangerous existence in the world. You never know what means he will use to deal with you."

Wisdom is the magician's greatest weapon and the most deadly force in the world. Its only disadvantage may be that it takes time to react, and it is easy to be taken advantage of when fighting in close combat. If this disadvantage is made up, then it will be impeccable.

Anne went directly to the magician's home to capture people, and there must be countless magic traps waiting for her there. The mutant hunter is very strong, but there are countless magic traps in the world that can ignore the strength of the body.

Because of this, magicians are in awe of each other. Even if Rosen defeats his opponent, he dare not take it lightly.

Anne was convinced, and she frowned and said, "What should we do? We can't just take a beating without fighting back, right?"

Rosen had already thought about it: "Don't worry, wait and see. Since this person has come once, he will definitely come a second time. Let's go to Sunderland Town now. It is the territory of Baron Drake and is guarded by guards. He will never dare to mess around. At that time, I will find a way to treat the disease for Mary and her daughter. At the same time, I will also prepare some means to deal with the magician's attack."

"Okay then." Anne could only agree: "What do you need me to do?"

"In the town Help me collect some moldy fruits from the farm. Must be the kind with green hairs, the more the better. By the way, I also need a set of basic alchemy equipment, I wonder if I can buy it in the town? "

"Basic alchemy equipment is not a big problem, there are glass shops, blacksmiths, and specialized boilermakers in Sunderland. As long as we have the drawings, we can find the owner to customize a set. But moldy fruits? What's the use of this?"

Rosen kept it a secret: "You will know when the time comes."

"Forget it~" Anne raised her arm and hit Rosen lightly.

The carriage drove forward with a 'gurgle~' sound. After driving for more than an hour, the road began to become lively, and pedestrians could be met from time to time. When the carriage bypassed a small forest, the front suddenly opened up, and a river slope with a wide view appeared. The slope was surrounded by a large river at least tens of meters wide, and the town of Sunderland was built on the slope.

The town is not big, with a radius of about 1 mile, and a population of about 2,000 people. The town is surrounded by a defensive wall made of pointed logs, with an entrance in each of the east, south, west and north sides. The river opening in the east is the narrowest, only five or six meters wide. In order to facilitate passage, a wooden suspension bridge is built on the river. The other river openings are quite wide, so only small docks are built for mooring boats.

Such terrain is a natural fortress, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, whether it is monsters or people.

For ordinary people in the nearby area, Sunderland Town is the safest place. If you can settle in Sunderland Town in your lifetime, it will be the greatest happiness in the world.

In the game, Rosen often comes to Sunderland Town because it is the most prosperous place within a radius of 50 kilometers and the trade center in this area. There is an episode in the town every 10 days, and that day is called Market Day.

At that time, farmers from surrounding villages will bring their surplus agricultural products to Sunderland for trading. The town will be very lively, with people crowded on the main streets. The mayor of the town, Baron Draco, will also send his guards to maintain order in the market.

But today is obviously not a market day. Looking from a distance, you can see people walking in twos and threes on the street. It is not deserted, but it cannot be said to be lively.

Soon, the carriage drove to the east gate of the town. Two guards stood on both sides of the entrance. When they saw the carriage, the guards swung their wooden guns in front of the carriage and blocked it.

One of the guards was a middle-aged man with a beard. He looked at the carriage, slapped his nose with his hand, frowned and asked, "What is being pulled in the carriage? Why is it so smelly?"

Although she was prepared, Annie still felt a little guilty. When asked this question, she suddenly became nervous. She hesitated for half a second and said, "Oh, I collected some smelly pickled fish from the nearby dock. The smell is indeed a bit strong."

The bearded man looked at Annie suspiciously, then turned to look at the hood of the carriage: "Huh~ Pickled fish? Instead of hunting monsters, the hunter buys a cart of pickled fish? Whoever believes that is an idiot, there must be a ghost in the carriage. ! Open the door, I want to check!"

After saying that, he strode towards the side door of the carriage and stretched out his hand to pull the door open.
