The Last Alchemist

In the west city square, the words of the young man in silver armor were like ice water poured on the hot iron block, which instantly calmed down the almost fanatical crowd.

It turned out that the audience was deeply attracted by Rosen's three demonstration experiments, and the enthusiasm for mastering magic was ignited in their hearts. For a moment, they forgot the constraints of the world, but the words of the young man in silver armor made people stop. The beautiful fantasy of the future was brought back to the cold reality.

The magician is a superior person, and the power of magic is very powerful, but he is denounced as a heretic by the Flame God Cult. If he is caught, he will be sent to the stake. The city of wisdom established by the magician was once extremely prosperous and gathered huge wealth. However, such a great city was destroyed in one day. Not only did it lose all its glory, but even the three saints of Nerogard also fell.

Those are the Three Saints of Nerogard, magicians with terrifying powers like gods. Even they are dead. How can this young magician in front of him protect the wealth that once gathered in the city of Nerogard? ?

Maybe, after a while, this magician named Rosen will be tied to the stake. He himself is in danger, so why talk about establishing a college? What else are you talking about imparting magical knowledge?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, those of them who enter the academy will not learn anything, but they will get into trouble. If they are more unlucky, they may be burned to death by the flames.

Originally, everyone wanted to enter the academy, but as people calmed down, many people began to retreat. Some people who thought they were wise were already thinking about how to leave and quietly leave the square.

On the high platform, Rosen watched the performance of everyone in the audience comfortably. After waiting for about half a minute, he responded: "Young man, may I know your origins?"

The young man in silver armor sneered and asked: "I am just a small person, my name is not worth mentioning. I just think that your words and deeds are inappropriate and are basically leading people to jump into the fire pit, so I can't stand it and say this."

Rosen laughed and said tit for tat: "He doesn't even dare to say his name, but he keeps talking about God and God's punishment. He is like an ant who sees an eagle flying in the sky and shouts this all day long. An eagle will definitely be struck to death by lightning, so an ant will always be an ant, and an eagle will always be an eagle."

These words were a bit harsh. The young man in silver armor turned blue with anger and his eyes widened. One hand had already grasped the hilt of the epee, but he still did not pull out the sword after all. He took a few quick breaths, but Slowly calming down, he finally laughed: "Rosen, you do have sharp teeth. It's a pity that a mouth alone can't withstand divine punishment!"

After speaking, he turned to the audience in the square and shouted loudly: "Everyone, as far as I know, the king does not recognize Rosen's possession of Nerogard. In other words, what this young magician has done All actions are illegal, whether it is establishing a college or occupying Nerogard's wealth, None of them are recognized. He is simply a bandit, and in order to fight against this bandit, the king has issued a bandit suppression order, and the city lords of more than a dozen cities have responded to this order. Soon, a combined fleet will be sent down the river! The day the combined fleet arrives will be the day this bandit is destroyed!”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd roared. Most of the people's faces showed panic, and only a few people remained calm.

Rosen carefully observed these calm people. The peasant girl and the black-armored man next to him were like this, as was the red-haired woman in the audience. In addition, there were about a dozen people who did not look frightened, but A thoughtful look on his face.

He carefully memorized the faces of these people, then took a step forward, reached out and pressed down. After the square became quiet for a while, he said: "Everyone, this young man's origin is unknown, and he does not dare to reveal his identity. I, Rosen Laplace, used to be in Nerogard City, am now in Nerogard City, and will also be in Nerogard City in the future. City, you can find me at any time. In the past six months, I have defeated the monsters that invaded Nerogard, I have gathered the refugees in the city, and I am still rebuilding this city step by step. So, let me ask you, Is it credible to say something casually by a guy who keeps his head hidden? Or is it true that I, a person who works hard, can be trusted? "

Rosen's demeanor was as calm as ever, and his tone was as before. There was almost no disturbance. The words of this young man in silver armor did not seem to cause any trouble to him.

His demeanor added great persuasiveness to what he said, causing many people to break out of their panic and begin to re-examine the boy in silver armor.

Many people are thinking, yes, where did this guy come from? He didn't do anything, he just said a few words casually, why did I believe him?

The situation turned towards Rosen again, and many people in the crowd began to target the young man in silver armor.

"Master Rosen is right. Please tell me, who are you?"

"You are a robber with one mouthful, that is, if Master Rosen is well-behaved, if you dare to scold the Pope like this in Berkeley, I will not let you be tied to the stake!"

"Hey, big brother, don't talk nonsense. Nirogard's musketeers are not easy to mess with. Maybe I'll give you a shot."

This was really beyond the expectations of the young man in silver armor. He did not expect that the situation would turn out like this. In the past, when he did similar things in other cities, as long as he used the name of the gods, he would always be disadvantageous. How could he do it here? Nerogard, why didn't this move work?

He didn't know that although people everywhere in the continent feared the gods, Nilogard City was different from other places. Here, the gods were naturally worthy of awe, but the magicians were also very powerful. Although the gods were powerful, they had never appeared. The magicians might not be as good as the gods, but they were around and they could be seen showing their incredible abilities every day. If we really compare the status of the two in the hearts of ordinary people, it is hard to tell which one was more important.

Now, as a representative of magicians, Rosen had previously performed strange lightning experiments and remained calm in the face of doubts. Everyone else saw it and naturally trusted him more. Moreover, those who could attend the lecture tonight were all people who yearned for magic. These people did not have a high degree of awe for the gods. On the whole, the intimidation methods of the silver-armored young man were naturally not very effective.

The methods failed, and the silver-armored young man was a little panicked, and the panic in his heart was expressed in his expression and eyes.

There were many smart people in the crowd. When they saw him like this, some of them laughed out loud: "Look, he's scared!"

People saw that it was true.

"Liar!"

"This guy has bad intentions. Catch him and interrogate him."

"Ordinary people can't carry such a big sword. This guy is a monster. Maybe he is the monster that invaded Nirogard some time ago."

The last words were very lethal. People were very afraid of the monster that destroyed Nirogard, but the monster had been repelled, and this fear turned into hatred!

More importantly, the magician who repelled the monster was right next to him, and there was only one monster. Suddenly, people rushed towards the silver-armored young man.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Kill him! Kill this monster!"

"All monsters must die!"

"Kill!"

The silver-armored youth panicked. He grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled out the heavy sword with a clang. However, he remained rational and did not dare to do anything. He just shouted, "Don't come over! Don't come over! If anyone comes over again, I will not be polite!"

Rosen watched this scene from the high platform. He knew that if this continued, there would definitely be a bloody conflict, so he said, "Everyone, stop for a moment and listen to me."

His words were naturally very effective. People stopped forcing him, and even the silver-armored youth looked at him.

Rosen said, "All those who can come here tonight and listen to my speech are my guests. Although some are good guests and some guests have bad intentions, they are still guests. If there is bloodshed and death in such a speech, then many people will not dare to come to participate in my next speech out of fear. This is not a good thing."

"Master, this guy is too hateful. He clearly wants to harm you!" Some people were dissatisfied.

Rosen smiled and said, "Even if he wanted to harm me, he didn't draw his sword against me. It was just a verbal debate. Well, young man, if you feel that this place is no longer safe, you can leave. Otherwise, after tonight, if others don't attack you, I will catch you and carefully interrogate your origins."

The last two sentences were said to the silver-armored young man. They seemed to be well-intentioned, but they were hidden. If this guy really left, it would mean that he had a ghost in his heart, and what he said before was naturally a bunch of nonsense.

The silver-armored young man heard this meaning and was extremely unwilling in his heart, but he had no choice. He gritted his teeth, put away his heavy sword, turned around and left without saying a word.

He walked less than a dozen steps and heard Rosen's voice behind him: "Well, the troublemaker has left. If anyone is interested in my academy, you can come to me to sign up. If you can pass my selection, you will get free food, clothing and accommodation when you study in the academy. These free supplies will last for 3 years!"

"Wow~~~" The crowd was boiling.

The silver-armored youth was filled with hatred, but he had to admit that Rosen's move was really powerful, and even he was a little moved.

Then, he heard someone ask: "Master Rosen, do you think there will really be a joint fleet coming to attack?"

The silver-armored youth's heart moved again, and he sneered in his heart: "I didn't say anything about the joint fleet. I'll see how you end up when the time comes."

Then, he heard Rosen's loud laughter, and he heard him say: "It doesn't matter, even if there is a joint fleet. Nilogard's thunder cannon can tear the fleet to pieces!"

'Humph~ What a big tone. However, what this guy said is not entirely wrong. Wooden warships really can't withstand the bombardment of thunder cannons. I heard that Nilogard's thunder potion is much more powerful than Berkeley's. Could it be that the endless wealth in the city can only be occupied by such a small group of people? '

At this moment, he was really confused.
