The Last Alchemist

Chapter 27 The Baron's Magic Mirror

There seems to be a conflict in the glass shop. The man making trouble, just from his clothes, he knows that he is a very difficult person to mess with.

In this case, even if ordinary people want to watch the excitement, they will stay away to avoid being harmed.

But Rosen didn't. He looked at the man's back carefully. After a few seconds, instead of running away, he followed him into the glass shop. Then he stood in the corner by the door, pretending to admire the glass on the counter. of samples.

In the glass shop, after the man yelled, the clerk in the shop didn't look angry at all. He nodded and bowed with a smile on his face: "Sir, I'm so sorry. The shop owner suddenly went out for something today."

‘Sir? Sure enough, I read that right. ’ Rosen thought secretly.

There is only one person in the small town of Sunderland who can be called a lord, and that is the mayor, Baron Draco. In the game, Rosen once took over a monster commission from Baron Draco and met him once. Because there were some discrepancies between the game and the real imagination, when he was outside the store, he only guessed that it might be the Baron, but he was not sure.

Baron Draco was not someone who was easy to fool. He had the highest title and the largest territory within a hundred miles, and he had more than 300 elite guards under his command. In the small town of Sunderland, he is a local emperor, walking straight, sideways or diagonally, it all depends on his heart.

"Hmph~"

The baron placed his hands heavily on the counter, causing the entire counter to shake. The glass cups on the cabinet jingled and jingled, and several glass cups even rolled to the ground. Crush.

"Liars! They are all liars!" The baron roared like an angry lion, and the store clerk shrank his head in fear, hiding in the corner and trembling like a quail.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the store door behind Rosen was pushed open again, and a fat man with a fair face and a kind face walked in from the door. Before he could speak, two dimples had already appeared on his fat cheeks. : "Ah~ah~, what a coincidence. I just saw a turtle dove cooing at me on the street corner. I thought to myself, I'm afraid it's not a distinguished customer in the store."

The features of this fat man were so obvious that Rosen could identify him at a glance. It was Visa, the owner of the glass shop.

"Visa, shut up!" Baron Draco waved his hand and blocked the other party's words.

After saying that, he reached into his arms and took out a light yellow metal cylinder: "See for yourself, what did you get for me?!"

Visa took a few hurried steps, took the metal cylinder, turned his head and glanced at Rosen at the door, and whispered to the baron: "Sir, it's not very convenient here, how about we go to the second floor?" It has a balcony and a good view.”

"Okay, let's go to the second floor."

After saying that, he walked up to the second floor of the glass shop first. Visa wiped the sweat from his forehead, jogged a few steps, and followed the baron.

Soon, Rosen and the store clerk were the only two people left in the lobby on the first floor.

Rosen walked towards the counter, looked around casually, and finally picked up a glass cup with a flat bottom and a wide mouth on the counter. He picked up the cup and asked, "Man, how much does this cup cost?"

The clerk didn't move.

"Dude? Dude?" Rosen shouted.

"Ah~ It's coming, it's coming~" The store clerk finally came to his senses. He walked to the counter, quickly looked at the fur vest on Rosen's shoulders, then looked at the glass, and said, "25 francs."

In an era when the average farmer's annual income was less than 40 rand, a glass cup sold for 25 rand, which was indeed a luxury product.

Rosen was noncommittal. He picked up the glass and looked at it against the light in the direction of the door for a while. Then he shook his head: "There are many bubbles and the craftsmanship is not good enough. These lines and textures are crooked and really not good-looking. And the color, Different shades also affect the appearance very much.”

The waiter's face turned dark when he heard this, and he snatched the cup from Rosen's hand: "Little boy, do you want to buy it or not? I tell you, our glass shop is the only one within a hundred miles, and you can buy it anywhere else. Not."

It's a monopoly, no wonder it's so domineering.

Rosen sighed and took out the money with a look of helplessness: "You are right, then buy it."

"Uh~~" The guy didn't expect Rosen to be so easy to talk to, and was a little stunned for a moment.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? Put it in a wooden box for me!"

"Oh~ ok, right away." The guy's attitude changed completely. After all, not many people can spend 25 rands to buy a cup.

He took out a beautiful wooden box, lined it with sawdust, put it in the cup, and sprinkled a thick layer of sawdust until the box was filled. Then he closed the lid, bowed and held the cup and handed it to Rosen: " Guest, your cup."

"Well~" Rosen nodded, took the box and put it on the counter. After pondering for a few seconds, he took out another ronte, pressed it with his finger and pushed it towards the clerk: "I just saw the Baron. I'm very angry and curious. If you can tell me what happened, this 1 ronte will be yours."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on Lunt, with a trace of desire flashing in his eyes. He looked around, and when he saw that they were the only two in the store, he lowered his voice and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

Rosen took his finger away.

The clerk immediately put Yin Langte into his arms, and quickly turned his head to look at the stairs. After making sure that no one was there, he lowered his voice and said: "The thing is like this, Sir, I don't know where I got a magic mirror. It's very magical." . Looking out in the mirror, it looks like it’s far away.”

Rosen nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Listen to what you said, it is indeed a good thing. The Lord must like it very much, right?"

The waiter clapped his hands gently and said: "Yes, the prince couldn't put it down, holding it in his hands and playing with it every day. You know, the prince is a very romantic person. Ever since he got this magic mirror, he has stayed at home and peeked at the town every day. The women here don’t even stop eating.”

"Well, Sir Alex is really unruly and uninhibited." Rosen praised him without saltiness.

The clerk didn't hear Rosen's perfunctory tone, and he said excitedly: "Sir, he is so rich and has so many guards under his command, so he is naturally romantic. The magic mirror is right for him, and he has always regarded it as a treasure. He never leaves his body, but a few days ago, he accidentally dropped the mirror. "

"Oh~ this is such a sad story, but what does this have to do with Visa?"

The waiter sighed repeatedly: "Originally, it had nothing to do with it, but two days ago, our shop owner and Sir Alex were drinking and got drunk. When he heard about it, he boasted that he could fix it, but in the end, he got into trouble with this guy. Trouble."

"Oh~ So that's it. Magic mirror, interesting, really interesting." Rosen laughed: "Thanks, man, I'm leaving. I'll take care of your business next time."

"Hey, welcome, my guest." The waiter opened the store door to Rosen enthusiastically.

After walking out of the glass shop, Rosen walked more than 20 meters along the path in front of the store, turned into a path, and waited patiently. About 20 minutes later, a majestic man wearing a fur cloak strode from the entrance of the alley. passed.

Rosen took a step forward and said, "Sire."

The man stopped and turned his head to look over. This was Baron Draco. This Baron looked very rough, with a big mouth, thick eyebrows, dark skin, a strong body and a bear-like head. He looked like a medieval version. Zhang Fei.

He looked Rosen up and down and asked strangely: "Who are you?!"

Rosen followed his memory and gave the baron an aristocratic salute: "Rosen Laplace, Sir Laplace's only son, greets you."

Baron Draco was stunned for a while, then he patted his head with a look of realization on his face: "Oh, it's you. I remember you. The last time I saw you, you were only five or six years old, and you were still in the yard. Playing in the mud, haha.”

He looked at Rosen carefully and said with a smile: "Hmm~ No wonder you look familiar to me. You and your father look really alike, both are equally handsome, haha. How is your father?"

Rosen's face showed grief: "Sir, my father and mother are no longer here."

The baron was stunned: "Eh~ How is that possible? I saw your father last month. He was in very good health. He also told me that you have been studying alchemy for the past year, and he hopes that you will make a difference. ”

"It was a vampire who did it. A vampire passed by my manor and sucked the blood of everyone in the manor. The manor was also destroyed. Originally, I could not escape."

As he spoke, Rosen tore off the cloth around his neck to reveal the wound: "But a stalker happened to pass by and scared away the vampire, so I saved my life. It was also this stalker who dispelled the blood in my body. The vampire poison kept me from dying."

Baron Draco sighed, and reached out to pat Rosen on the shoulder: "Hey~ It's really unfortunate. But you can survive, which is a blessing among misfortunes. I still remember the smell of the new wine in Laplace Manor, I was thinking about drinking a few more bottles this year, but I didn’t expect the chance. Hey~ Rosen, your father and I are friends, and I have watched you grow up. If you have any difficulties in rebuilding the manor, just let me know. Say, I’ll try to help.”

Just when Baron Draco raised his hand, part of his wrist was exposed. With sharp eyes, Rosen saw several red pimples on his forearm. He was startled: "This seems to be..."

Baron Draco noticed the abnormality in Rosen's vision and subconsciously shrank his arms to hide the red pimples.

Rosen wisely did not ask further questions. He said gratefully: "Thank you, Sir."

Draco nodded, looked at the sky, and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back. What do you think, do you have a place to stay? If not, how about spending the night at my house?"

"Yes, I bought a small yard in the west of the town."

The Baron seemed to lose interest in chatting, and his expression became a little perfunctory: "Then I'm relieved. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. If you have any questions, just come to me."

Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Rosen took a few hurried steps and got to the point: "Sir, I just saw you take out a metal cylinder in the glass shop?"

"Yeah~ Yeah." Baron Draco nodded. The fact that he got the magic mirror was not a big secret, and he didn't hide it deliberately.

Rosen continued: "I've also heard about the magic mirror. Now you're going to the glass shop again. Could it be that the magic mirror is broken and you need to find Visa to repair it?"

Baron Draco looked at Rosen again. After looking at it for a while, he laughed: "You are quite well-informed. Tell me, what else do you know?"

If a farm boy said this to him, he would definitely think that the other person was nosy, but Rosen is the son of a knight. Although Sir Laplace and him are casual acquaintances, they can be considered friends, so Rosen explored him. He didn't care at all about the other person's little secret, and even admired the other person's mind.

Rosen continued: "Sir."

"Don't call me lord, just call me uncle." The baron waved his hand in a very kind manner.

Naturally, Rosen would not be pretentious and immediately changed his words: "Uncle, I just went to the glass shop to check out Visa's workmanship. To be honest, I don't think Visa can repair your magic mirror. I guess he repaired it for you." Magic mirror, the field of view is very blurry, you can’t see anything clearly, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Baron Draco slapped his thigh hard, shook his head and sighed: "Yes, that's it. Let me tell you, that Visa guy has no real ability at all, he can only brag. I really want to kill him." He was hung up and whipped!"

At this moment, Rosen revealed his intention: "Uncle, as you know, I have been studying alchemy. I also have some research on the magic mirror."

When Baron Draco heard this, his eyes lit up and he patted his thigh again: "Yes! This magic mirror was given to me by a magician. The magic mirror is broken. I asked a glassmaker to fix it. Oops. ~I am really old and my brain is no longer working.”

His words made Rosen startled: "A gift from a magician?"

"Yes, this magician brought it to me from the free city of Berkeley. It is said to be the most proud work of the alchemist Parlan. It's a pity that I broke it. Oh~~~ What a pity. "The baron shook his head and sighed.

"Then can he repair this magic mirror?"

"If he could repair it, I wouldn't be in such trouble." The baron looked annoyed.

Rosen asked tentatively: "Uncle, is this magician named Dias?"

"Yes, have you seen him? He lives in Caopo Village now. Let me tell you, Dias is an official graduate of Nerogard Academy.

Magician, knowledgeable and powerful. You are learning alchemy now, maybe he can give you some advice. ” Baron Draco smiled kindly.

Rosen felt a sudden chill in his heart, and he suppressed his composure: "I have heard of him, but have never met him. I will make a special trip to visit him when I have time in the future.

Uh~Uncle, you know that I have been learning alchemy. If you believe me, you can give me the magic mirror. I'll try to fix it for you. "

"Ah, just talking about Dias, I forgot about the real thing." As he said, the baron handed a ruby ​​gold ring on his hand to Rosen: "My magic mirror is in the Visa store. Go to him with this ring and tell him that I asked you to help. That fat man will never dare to deal with you."

Rosen took the ruby ​​ring respectfully: "Uncle, don't worry, you will get a perfect magic mirror soon."

"Haha, very good, very good. I like confident young people like you. I promise you that as long as you can fix the magic mirror, I will definitely give you a generous reward." Draco clapped his hands happily. The clothes on his arms slipped down again, and the red pimples on his forearms were revealed again.

"Hehe~ I was bitten by poisonous insects a few days ago, and I ended up with this thing. It's really itchy." The baron explained awkwardly, then stretched out his hand to scratch again, and then shrank his arm to cover the skin. red spots on.

Rosen nodded: "Venomous insect bites are inevitable, and they will be fine in a few days. Uncle, then I will go to the glass shop to have a look."
