The Last Alchemist

Half a month later, Rosen's body basically recovered.

The burn marks on the skin completely disappeared, and a dense layer of hair stubble grew again on the bare forehead. The whole person also looked refreshed due to half a month of rest.

This morning, he got up early. After washing and having breakfast, he got into the carriage and drove towards the center of Nerogard City.

Along the way, Rosen opened a crack in the car window and casually looked at the scenery on the roadside.

He saw that the ruins on both sides of the road had been cleared away. There were not many pedestrians on the street, but it was by no means deserted. The ground on both sides of the road was filled with all kinds of commodities, including farmers' vegetables and fruit trees, and... Daily necessities made by craftsmen, as well as various novel gadgets carved by craftsmen, all kinds of hawking sounds come and go.

This city that had been reborn after the disaster was surrounded by a busy and peaceful atmosphere. For a moment, Rosen thought he had returned to the market on Earth.

‘That’s great. ’ He sighed in his heart.

It is said that if the world is righteous, armies and horses will be born in the suburbs; if the world is devoid of righteousness, heroes and ghosts will emerge in large numbers. This strange world is full of ghosts and strong men. Rosen's wish is to let these people stay in peace!

The carriage drove for a while, and Rosen saw a night devil standing in front of an artist's stall, bargaining with the artist. When he spoke urgently, the night devil bared his teeth and made a threatening gesture. The artist looked frightened. He looked up and saw a patrolling guard walking by on the street. He immediately became more courageous. He pointed at the musketeers and said a few words to the night devil. The night devil immediately put away the grimace on his face. , took out a few coins from his arms and handed them over.

Seeing this, Rosen felt slightly proud: "It seems that the reputation of the Musketeers has been established."

After thinking about it, he felt that the matter was not that simple: 'I'm afraid it's because of me, the Flame God Envoy. But it doesn't matter, as long as you move in the right direction, order will naturally be established over time. ’

After a while, the carriage arrived at its destination. This is a complex of cement buildings jointly built by magicians and craftsmen. At the main entrance of the building complex is a nearly 10-meter-tall statue of a character with a vague face and wearing a scholar's robe. , holding a book in his left hand, a pen in his right hand, and a simple-looking musket on his waist.

The nameplate below the statue reads: ‘Knowledge is power. ’

This is the Thunder College built under Rosen's instruction. The statue is the main entrance of the college, but there are no walls around the college. It is open to the outside world all day long. The only requirement is that tourists are prohibited from making noise during classes.

The carriage stopped in front of the statue. Rosen got off the carriage and walked toward the inside of the college alone. When the tourists along the way saw him, they immediately stopped and bowed. Rosen also smiled and nodded.

He walked around the statue, entered the interior of the academy, and walked toward the central hall of the academy.

This hall is called the Hall of Truth. Although it is very early, at least hundreds of people have gathered in the hall. People sit in several circles. Thick manuscripts are placed in front of everyone. They wave their pens and make noises. Got red in the face.

When Rosen walked to the door, the hall immediately became quiet. Everyone stood up and called themselves divine envoys.

Rosen smiled and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

People sat down again, and he himself walked to the top of the hall and sat down, and then asked: "How are the details of the "Fire Code" discussed?"

When he said this, at least half of the people in the hall wanted to speak. If Rosen hadn't been there to suppress them, they would have started arguing again.

Rosen smiled, pointed at Monica who was closest to him and said, "Monica, you represent Dragon Valley, what do you want to say?"

Monica, who had already argued with others before, immediately stood up and said loudly: "Master God Envoy, I fully understand your wish for peaceful coexistence on the mainland, and I very much support it, but the terms you proposed are too far. It's harsh. For example, all living beings are equal. If anyone kills another person, he must pay for it with his life. This is too harsh for our dragon clan. "

"Oh, what should I say?" Rosenqi asked.

When it came to establishing the "Fire Code", he did not insist on his own way. Instead, Nirogard proposed the first draft, and then invited all the major forces in the mainland to discuss and decide together, and finally discussed a law that everyone recognized.

This is not because Rosen cannot enforce the law by force, but because if he enforces it, it will naturally take effect for a while, but he only has one person, and Nerogard is just a city. Even if he can subdue the mainland with nuclear bombs, he cannot completely control it after all. , if others are doing it in a positive and negative way, Rosen can't do anything about it.

In this case, it would be better for everyone to discuss it together, and the effect would be better.

Monica immediately explained: "You said that all living beings are equal, which is a very good wish. But our dragon clan is born to be noble and powerful. This is a fact. Even if we kill people to pay for our lives, our dragon clan will pay for one life, and ordinary people will not." If you pay for one life, then ordinary people will make a lot of money, this is not fair!”

As soon as she finished speaking, another undead also spoke up: "That's right. We undead can live for thousands of years, and ordinary people can only live for a hundred years at most. For thousands of years, we will compensate for one hundred years. This is How unfair!”

Many strangers in the crowd immediately echoed, and some even said in a rueful voice: "Master God, there are no absolutes in the world. You have such a powerful power, there is no guarantee that you will not harm people's lives. Could it be that you also want to Will you pay for it with your life?”

Rosen had already expected this situation and was naturally not angry.

He smiled and patted the manuscript on the table: "All beings are equal, and killing people should be punished with life. Do you all agree?"

"Indeed." Monica nodded. Although she didn't want to admit it, if a dragon in the Dragon Valley killed another dragon, the murderer would be severely punished even if he didn't die. It is an iron rule for all aliens to prohibit killing each other.

Rosen continued, "Now, I will promote this point, what's wrong with that?"

Seeing that someone was about to object again, Rosen raised his hand to suppress it, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Everyone feels that it is unfair because you are strong and ordinary people are weak. But you might as well think about it carefully. One alien can easily kill an ordinary person. If there are 1,000 aliens, can they kill 1,000 ordinary people equipped with thunder guns, cannons, and continuous fire guns?"

"Buzz~~~"

The aliens discussed one after another, and other ordinary people representatives present also discussed fiercely. After about ten minutes, Monica said uncertainly: "We have to fight to know."

"No sure of victory?" Rosen asked.

"No, no." Monica shook her head.

Rosen looked at the other alien representatives again: "What about you, what do you think?"

These alien representatives all shook their heads, not daring to say that they would win.

"Besides, there are 100,000, 1 million, or 10 million ordinary people, but are there 10,000 aliens? Monica, are there 10,000 Dragon Valley people? Adams, are there more than 10,000 Berserkers in Black Crow Castle?"

"No."

"There are no Berserkers in Black Crow Castle either."

Another alien was unwilling to accept the result: "Even if there are many ordinary people, where can we get so many muskets?"

Rosen laughed: "There will be, I will let them have."

"."

All the alien representatives were speechless and could not speak.

Rosen looked at the ordinary people's representatives again. These were the mayors of various cities on the continent, all big businessmen and nobles. He asked: "Do you think that equality of all beings needs to be discussed again?"

These ordinary people were much easier to talk to than aliens. They all shook their heads and agreed: "This is justice, no need to discuss it again."

"Very good, then this one is the first article of the "Flame Code". Now, let's continue with the second article."

The clamor in the Hall of Truth of Thunder Academy lasted for a full six months. Six months later, the final version of the "Flame Code" was born, starting from the city of Nirogard and promoted in all directions.

Perhaps, there are many loopholes in the implementation of this code; perhaps, many nobles in their own territories are lip-service to this code, saying one thing in public and another in private; or perhaps, the aliens are just forced to obey under the pressure of Rosen, but no matter what, the concepts of "equality of all beings" and "all people are born free" proposed in the code are becoming more and more popular.

As the war came to an end, new science and new technology continued to spread from the city of Nerogard. The productivity level on the continent was advancing by leaps and bounds. Many cities on the continent gradually became prosperous, which many people dared not even think of. The population and technology began to explode at a terrifying speed.

30 years passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the number of ordinary people on the continent exceeded 400 million, and the combat effectiveness was soaring at a terrifying speed. However, the number of aliens has not increased much due to natural defects. Compared with the two, the alien forces suddenly fell into an absolute disadvantage.

People began to exclude aliens in various ways, and aliens had to use the "Flame Code" to protect their rights and interests. The situation was completely reversed.

One morning 30 years later.

Rosen woke up on time, but did not get up. Instead, he lay in bed, quietly watching the swaying leaves and the hawkers' cries outside the window.

After a while, Annie's lazy voice came from his side: "What time is it?"

Rosen did not answer. Lilith's voice came from the other side of him: "It's just past five o'clock. Let's sleep a little longer."

Rosen smiled slightly and said: "Ladies, did we receive a message last night that a strange creature covered with black vines appeared in the south of the continent, and it seems that many people died?"

Lilith was not fully awake yet, she muttered: "It seems to be the case. However, wasn't that thing cleaned up by the locals?"

Rosen continued: "It was cleaned up. But when I think about it carefully, could this thing be the tree demon Donasis we met 30 years ago?"

After saying this, Annie nodded: "Now that you mention it, it really looks a bit like it."

Lilith woke up a little, she sighed: "Well~ I guess this must be the trick of the great lord again. Don't you think he's tired? He does this every few years. He doesn't feel tired, but I feel annoyed. "

Rosen laughed: "It's not entirely a bad thing. He's always playing tricks, which can keep people alert and not slack off. A few days ago, the Dragon King invited me to visit the Dragon Valley. Do you want to go and have fun?"

Lilith waved her hands quickly: "No, no, what's so fun about that broken valley? It's just a broken ravine. Only the dragon clan still treasures it."

Annie laughed: "In fact, most of the dragon clan have left the Dragon Valley and gone to various parts of the mainland to make a living. So, to be precise, only the old guy Dragon King still treasures the Dragon Valley."

"Forget it, forget it, I'll go. The Dragon King is old, but he is still working hard to maintain the purity of the dragon bloodline. His life is not easy. I'll make a contribution to the tourism industry in the Dragon Valley if I go there." Rosen sighed.

When he said that, Lilith couldn't help laughing: "Pure blood. Didn't the Dragon King marry a widow left by a big businessman last year? I remember that he gave birth to a big fat boy that year. Why doesn't he say that his blood is pure now?"

Rosen laughed: "Don't hit people in the face."

Lilith turned over, hugged Rosen's arm, and yawned again: "Let's not talk about these trivial things. I'm not awake yet. Let's sleep for a while."

Rosen was infected by her and yawned: "Okay, let's sleep for a while."

The three of them slept together in the quilt, and after a while, they fell asleep again.
