The Last Alchemist

"Ahem~~Ahem~~"

In the alleyway of the illusion maze, Max coughed all the way, and the cough was heartbreaking.

Fellman walked at the front, turning his head to look at Max from time to time, as if he was afraid that Max would cough up his lungs. After walking for more than ten minutes, he finally couldn't help but said: "Master, are you okay? I see you’re coughing so hard that you’re about to vomit blood. How about we take a break?”

"Cough~~Cough~~ It doesn't matter~ Don't stop, time is very tight! We have to rush back to report the news immediately!" Max staggered, and it was only Rosen who supported him that kept him from falling.

Rosen said: "Fellman, why don't you carry Master Max on your back? Maybe you can go faster?"

Fellman said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, master, shall I carry you?"

Max nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll bother you then, ahem~"

Fellman put the heavy sword and giant shield back on his back. Just as he was about to carry Max on his back, he found that the sword and shield were obstructing his back. He scratched his head and simply hugged Max: "Master , you show me the way, and I will carry you there."

Max was speechless. He was a famous magician in mainland China, but he was held by a man in such a way that he would hold a woman. He felt extremely awkward, but the current situation was urgent and he couldn't help being pretentious. He bit He gritted his teeth and endured it: "Keep going forward. When you encounter a fork in the road, just follow the direction I told you."

"Okay, hold on tight, I'm speeding up." Fehrman started running, faster and faster, until his speed increased to about twice that of an ordinary person before stabilizing.

Rosen also started to run faster. With his current physique, he could easily keep up with Fairman.

After running for a while, he suddenly asked: "Master Max, tell me the truth, to what extent has the poison in Veronica's body spread?"

Max's condition was better than before. When Rosen asked, he asked, "What, you don't believe me?"

"I just want to know the facts!" Rosen's voice was calm. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning was very obvious. He just didn't believe it.

Max sighed: "After all, it's only the third time we've met. It's normal if you don't believe me. Let me put it this way, there are still 2 hours before the toxin will reach the dragon girl's heart, and once it enters the heart, things will It’s hard to say.”

Rosen asked again: "Why didn't Mobius come?"

Max sighed again: "I can't explain this at the moment. When you get back, you can ask Mobius himself. All I can tell you now is that if I hadn't come to tell you the news, the dragon girl would have died."

"I understand, thank you."

After that, the three of them were silent along the way. Apart from the sound of footsteps, only Max coughed occasionally.

About 10 minutes later, the three entered the underground palace.

Fairman was immediately shocked by the situation in the underground palace: "Oh~ It turns out there are so many survivors~ This is really great!"

He always thought that everyone in the city was dead, so he fell into despair for a time. When he saw Rosen, he was extremely excited. Now that he saw so many living people, he suddenly felt like he had returned from hell to the human world.

His eyes swept around the crowd, trying to find acquaintances from the past.

Max patted his arm gently: "Soldier, please let me down. Wait a moment. You wait in the hall now. Rosen and I will go to the small hall inside to detoxify and rescue people."

"Oh, okay." Fairman came to his senses, nodded repeatedly, and carefully placed Max on the ground.

Max's face was no longer as red as before, and looked a little gray. There were more wrinkles on his face, and his iconic red hair had lost its luster. He looked like a skinny old man.

Max glanced at Rosen and said, "Come with me."

The two walked through the crowd, stepped over the illusion stairs, and returned to the small hall.

After arriving in the small hall, Rosen immediately saw Mobius lying on the ground 'dancing'. When he looked carefully, he saw that Moebius's clothes were charred and black, as if they had been burned by fire. He was shocked and immediately stopped, and subconsciously touched the handle of the musket: "What's going on?"

"It's me. I used illusion to trap him." A timid voice came from the corner of the hall, it was the illusionist Wei Ge.

"Why did you do that?" Rosen frowned.

"Because he intends to attack me!" Sage Niya's calm voice sounded, and she turned to look at Wei Ge: "You can let him go now."

Wei Ge nodded, and slowly touched the air with his hand. The air around Mobius's body suddenly twisted slightly. The next second, Mobius suddenly jumped up from the ground, turned his head and said to Wei Ge A thunderous roar: "Little girl, you actually made me fall off the cliff for more than an hour! You have completely angered me now!"

Wei Ge shrank back and stared at Mobius. As long as he made any change, she would immediately activate the illusion again.

‘Hu~hu~’

Mobius gasped for air, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely angry. However, he still had a trace of reason and knew that he was no match for Wei Ge, so he stood still and did not make a move.

When his anger subsided, he felt something strange behind him, so he turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw Rosen.

He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became very complicated. He stared at Rosen for a long time, and then he asked: "Have you found a way to detoxify it?"

Rosen was a little confused by Mobius's strange eyes, but he still answered truthfully: "I have some clues, but more experiments are needed."

Hearing this answer, Mobius sighed and shook his head: "Then you shouldn't have come back!"

Rosen was even more puzzled: "Why."

'Cough~'

A cough sounded, it was Max. He said loudly: "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The most important problem now is that this hiding place has been exposed!"

"What?" Niya was shocked.

"How could it be exposed?" The illusionist Wei Ge looked unbelievable.

Max coughed a few more times and said: "The tree demon Donasis will know the news soon. We must act quickly. Wei Ge, you must adjust the entrance of the illusion array immediately."

"Yes, I'll do it now!" The young female magician jumped up from the chair and ran out of the hall with a "thump thump thump~".

Max walked to the side of the sage Niya again and whispered: "Niya, my magic power has been exhausted. It will take at least five days to recover. These five days, it all depends on you to hold back the tree demon."

Sage Niya sighed lightly: "I'll do my best. But you and I both know how powerful Donasis is. This is just delaying time. Our only way is..."

"Niya!" Max suddenly interrupted the sage's words. He looked at Niya with a firm look and said in a firm voice: "You promised me!"

The sage lowered his eyes for a long time, and she sighed: "Hey~~~ You are always so stubborn."

Max's expression was slightly relaxed, and he turned his head to look at Rosen not far away: "Young man, the tree demon is coming, will you fight side by side with us?"

Rosen nodded without hesitation: "I just want to see his ability."

"Good boy, I was right about you!" Max laughed, but just laughed twice and started coughing again.

Sage Niya immediately took out a medicine bottle and handed it over. Max hurriedly took the bottle and drank half of it in one breath, and then he felt relieved. He saw Rosen and Mobius looking at the bottle in his hand, and embarrassedly hid the bottle behind him: "I'm old and my body is not good, there's nothing I can do." Rosen suspected that Max had tuberculosis. He stepped forward and said, "I know a little about medicine, maybe I can help you." "No need!" It was not Max who spoke, but Niya. She looked at Rosen coldly: "Max is not sick, he is just old. What you should care about most now is the poisoned dragon girl!" After being reminded by her, Rosen remembered the business. He hurried to Veronica's side, lifted her clothes, and checked the spread of the toxin. When he saw this, his heart beat violently. Max really didn't lie to him. The toxin was about to spread to the heart. Niya said coldly: "Young man, you see, your dragon girl can't hold on for much longer. The only way to save her now is to use your body as a link to summon the power of the gods. Have you decided to save her?"

Before Rosen spoke, Mobius took a step forward and stopped in front of Rosen: "No! Absolutely not! Rosen, you must not do this! Your life is not yours alone!"

Niya snorted coldly, waved her hand, and Mobius' body suddenly became uncontrollable, unable to move, unable to speak, standing there like a wooden sculpture.

"Young man, it's time to make a decision."

Rosen smiled faintly: "Sage, don't worry, I have one last way to try."

A trace of impatience flashed across Niya's face. She glanced at Max, and finally said: "Although I think you are wasting time, Max has an inexplicable trust in your ability. Go, don't let him down."

There will be another update in the evening
