The Last Alchemist

Chapter 26 Economic Crisis

Seeing that the bearded guard was about to open the car door, Rosen twisted his body, jumped out of the carriage, and took a step forward, blocking him right in front of the bearded man.

The way forward was blocked, and the bearded hand subconsciously reached for the handle of the knife at his waist, with a look of vigilance on his face: "What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

Rosen was excited, knowing that now was not the time for joking. If he did not do it right, he might be struck by the bearded man with a knife. He quickly raised his hands in front of him and said softly and comfortingly: "Uncle, don't be nervous. Don't be nervous, it's me."

His body is only 14 years old and has just begun to develop. He has always been a young man from a rich family. His face is fair and tender, he is thin and small, and he does not look threatening at all.

The bearded man relaxed a little, and his tense body relaxed.

"Who are you? Tell me your name."

Rosen said: "Uncle, my name is Rosen Laplace, the son of Sir Laplace."

"Sir Laplace's son?" The bearded man looked Rosen up and down, then pointed at Anne: "Why would Sir Laplace's son mix with that kind of freak?"

Rosen didn't explain. He stretched out his finger and activated his alchemy power. A whistling wind suddenly appeared on his fingertips: "Uncle, you must know that Sir's son is learning alchemy, right? Look, this is my alchemy."

Supernatural magical power has a great shocking effect on ordinary people. As soon as the news came out, the faces of the bearded man and the guard next to him showed a look of awe, and they immediately believed 90% of Rosen's words.

Rosen put it away when he was done. He quickly dug into his pocket and took out a handful of silver lants, about a dozen of them. He quietly handed it to the bearded guard and explained in a low voice: "Uncle, I tell you the truth. You see, there is not only smelly pickled fish in the car, And my aunt and her daughter. My cousin is really pitiful, she is only five years old, timid and easily frightened. Last night, she had a high fever, and she would have vomiting and diarrhea at the sight of the wind. If you don’t believe it, I’m here. Call her outside?"

Yin Langte was so powerful that his bearded tough attitude suddenly softened. He looked around and saw that no one around him was paying attention, so he showed a helpless smile on his face: "Young Master, I didn't mean to embarrass you. "It's been very uneasy outside recently. Sir, we must strictly check the carriages entering the town to prevent thieves from sneaking into the city. How about you open a small window and let me take a look?"

"I understand, of course there is no problem." Rosen had a smile on his face. He knocked on the carriage door and shouted: "Aunt, how is your cousin doing now? Can you see the wind?"

Sister Mary was not stupid, and responded with a choked voice: "It's very bad. I'm feeling dizzy and my forehead is hot. I have to go to town quickly to find Dr. Marison."

Little Alice is very cooperative. She shouted vaguely: "Brother~Mom~I feel uncomfortable~"

Rosen suddenly looked embarrassed: "Uncle, look, the wind is so strong today."

The bearded man heard the voices of women and children very clearly, and his wariness was immediately put down for the most part. Now that he had Sir Laplace's name as a guarantor, he touched the lantes in his hand. There were about a dozen of them. This was terrible. After paying him military salary for several months, he finally waved his hand and stepped aside: "Since there are patients in the carriage who cannot see the wind, forget it, but it won't be the same next time. Go in."

"Hey, thank you, uncle." Rosen quickly returned to the front seat of the carriage.

Anne hurriedly shook the reins, and the carriage gurgled into the town of Sunderland. After entering the town, the carriage first drove along the main street for more than 200 meters, then turned right into an alley and continued along the alley. After walking for more than 150 meters, we finally drove into a small courtyard with a wall more than 2 meters high.

After entering the courtyard, Anne jumped off the carriage and closed the courtyard door, then opened the hood of the carriage: "Get out of the carriage and follow me."

Sister Mary was very nervous. She got out of the carriage hesitantly. Rosen walked over and took little Alice out of the carriage.

Annie walked to the door on the left side of the yard, opened it, and waved: "Quick, come over here."

The three of them walked over and entered the house one by one. Anne immediately closed the door and lit candles. She was still walking at the front, explaining as she walked: "The former owner of this yard loved drinking very much, so he dug a big Wine cellar. The entrance to the wine cellar is very secret. Although the light inside is a little dark, the ventilation is very good. I have made two beds inside. You will live in the wine cellar for the time being. Try not to leave the room during the day, let alone the yard. . When it’s time to eat, I’ll bring the food in, do you understand?”

"Yeah, I got it." Mary knew very well that if she walked out of the yard now, once she was discovered by the guards, she would be beaten to death on the spot as a corpse, and even the body would be burned to ashes.

The four of them walked into the wine cellar. Rosen took a look and found that the wine cellar was indeed very spacious. It was more than 3 meters high and covered an area of ​​more than 30 square meters. It also had a specially equipped exhaust pipe, so there was no feeling of stuffiness even after staying there for a long time. It's late autumn now, and it's actually quite warm to stay in the underground wine cellar.

On the ground in the wine cellar, two thick and clean fur beddings have been laid out. There is also a wooden toilet in the corner. On the other side is a large water tank filled with clean water. All kinds of daily necessities are available. Anne prepared the ground. Very thoughtful.

Seeing that Mary and her daughter were a little nervous, Rosen comforted her: "Sister Mary, you can live here with peace of mind. In the coming days, I will look for a medicine to cure you. I promise that I will do my best to cure little Ellie." Silk and your illness.”

Mary nodded vigorously.

After settling Mary and her daughter, Rosen left the bag of meat pies and then walked out of the wine cellar with Anne.

On the way, Rosen had already thought of a specific plan. He first asked: "Annie, how much money do we have left?"

"I only had less than 400 rand left, mainly houses. I couldn't find a place to rent, so I spent more than 1,400 rand to buy one directly." Anne was a little embarrassed. She could have saved more money, but she had always been worried about Rosen's safety. In order to rush for time, she never negotiated the price when buying carriages or weapons and equipment, she just took them and left.

These are all big spenders of money, and money will naturally flow away like water.

Rosen expected this. He thought about it in his mind and comforted him: "Don't worry, the money should be enough for the time being. Well, if I have a chance, I will find a way to earn some."

Annie felt more and more guilty: "How about I go find some commissions for hunting monsters now?"

Rosen denied it without thinking: "No, for no reason, where can I find a monster? Besides, how can a monster be so easy to kill? Besides, I have to save Mary and her daughter without your help. Humans can’t do it.”

"Then what should we do? If this continues, the money will be spent soon." Annie always thought that she was good at spending money, but medicines, weapons, and armor were all beyond her means. She originally thought that the 3,000 rand would last for a long time, but in just one day, she spent more than 2,000 rand. This speed of spending money was something she had never dared to imagine before.

"Don't worry, I have a way to make money." Rosen smiled. With alchemy as his support, he had a thousand ways to make money in his mind. For him, money was not a problem at all.

"Okay, time is very tight. Let's each get the money now and then split up."

"That's all we can do." Annie was helpless.

Without wasting a moment, the two of them took 100 rand each and set off on their own.

The town is not big, and its layout is almost exactly the same as in the game. What Rosen needs most now is a set of basic alchemy equipment. He needs to use this equipment to prepare some weapons and purify medicine for Mary and her daughter.

In the game, to build such a set of alchemical equipment, two materials are needed, one is glass and the other is brass.

Because the glass shop was closer to his residence, Rosen rushed to the glass shop first.

These days, glass is an expensive luxury product that only wealthy people can afford. It is usually used for two purposes, one is to make containers such as cups, and the other is to make various accessories.

There are a lot of glass samples at the entrance of this glass shop, most of which are wine glasses. The designs are very good, but the glass manufacturing process is not on the table. The lines of the cups are crooked and almost not neat. The color of the glass is generally greenish, and there are some things inside. It is filled with many small bubbles, and if you look closely, you can see a lot of black impurities.

"The quality is really bad." Rosen looked down upon the craftsmanship of this glass shop.

However, he just needs some glass containers and does not have high quality requirements. This glass shop should probably have finished products.

With this in mind, Rosen raised his feet and was about to enter the glass shop. At this moment, his shoulder was suddenly hit hard by someone. A middle-aged man wearing a fine fur cloak and stout like a bear was angry. He rushed past him, pushed open the wooden door of the glass shop, and strode in.

As soon as he entered the store, a rough roar came out: "Visa, get out of here!"

Rosen was stunned when he heard this: ‘Visa, it seems to be the name of the glass shop owner. It seems like he is in trouble? ’
