The Last Alchemist

Baron Draco had a fascination with magic mirrors. When he heard Rosen's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, his nostrils dilated a lot, and he became very excited.

"Really? How good exactly?"

Rosen thought for a while and said: "Uncle, the magic mirror in your hand can only see faces 2 miles away at most. The new magic mirror I am going to make can see faces 10 miles away. "

The baron's eyes were as wide as copper bells: "Ten miles? Can it really go so far in one go?"

Rosen nodded confidently, then leaned into the Baron's ear and whispered: "Uncle, if you take the magic mirror I made and see people two miles away, you will be in for a big surprise."

"for example?"

"For example, you can clearly see the tiniest hair on the other person's body. Under the magic mirror I created, no secrets can be hidden, and everything seems to be happening in front of your eyes."

Rosen deliberately emphasized the words 'hair' and 'secret'.

Sure enough, when he said this, the Baron immediately thought of some practical uses of this magic mirror. He rubbed his hands excitedly, wishing he could get the new magic mirror right away. However, he instinctively didn't believe it: "Can it really be like this?" Awesome? Even Master Parkland can't do such a thing."

Rosen immediately answered: "Uncle, you don't know this. Master Parkland may be very powerful in other aspects, but in the field of magic mirror, he is far from the level of a master. You see, I spent less than It took just one day to change it casually, and it was much better than the finished product he had carefully crafted. "

The Baron nodded in agreement: "Well, what you said makes perfect sense. The magic mirror you improved is indeed much better than Parkland's work."

Seeing that the baron had been persuaded by him, Rosen showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "However, this new magic mirror is really powerful and its production is very complicated, so..."

"So what?" the baron immediately asked, and then he asked naturally: "Does such a good magic mirror require very precious materials?"

Since the baron himself was ready to be slaughtered, Rosen would not be polite. He nodded: "Yes, not only does it require precious materials, but it also takes a lot of energy to create. You know, I am still young. The magic power is not enough, it will take at least a month to complete such a magic mirror."

"A month? That's not a long time. You just said that we need precious materials. Can you tell us what materials are needed?"

Rosen stretched out his hand and broke it off one by one: "I need two pieces of pure crystal about this size, half a pound of silver, half a pound of gold, soda ash, saltpeter, glycerin, diatomaceous earth, brass, and iron."

"Wait a minute." The baron's head was pounding after hearing this, and he waved his hand repeatedly to interrupt Rosen's words: "I don't understand these alchemist's things. Just tell me directly, how many francs are needed to buy these materials?"

Rosen knew that the Baron would react like this. When he was on Earth, his mentor often used various professional vocabulary to fool laymen, and he could make them surrender in an instant, hehe.

"Let me make an estimate." He calculated silently for five or six minutes, and then said: "Uncle, it will cost at least 800 rand."

In fact, the cost of real materials is far less than 800 rand, 80 is about the same. Rosen directly increased it by 10 times. He felt that he was already very greedy.

The baron's eyes widened again, his face full of disbelief: "What? What did you say?"

Rosen suddenly felt guilty: ‘Did I ask for too much? Don't be cowardly. You must not be cowardly at this time. Otherwise, not only will the magic mirror collapse, but I will also end badly! ’

His heart was pounding, but he resisted showing it and remained calm: "Uncle, I said that it will cost about 800 rand to build a new magic mirror. If you are lucky, there may be some surplus."

As soon as he finished speaking, the baron's face turned dark, and he muttered in a low voice: "How dare you lie to me, Diaz!"

When Dias gave him the magic mirror in his hand, he said that he spent a full 1,300 rand to buy it. For this reason, the baron was grateful. Not only did he send someone to help him build a wooden building, but he also assigned glasssmiths and blacksmiths in the town to work for him and help him build a complete set of alchemy equipment for free, which cost a total of Nearly 1,500 rand.

For him, 1,500 rand is not much. If he really needed to spend so much money, he would not blink an eye. But what he hates most in his life is that someone cheated him!

The baron's words were very soft, and Rosen couldn't hear them clearly. Naturally, he didn't know that he was hitting the wrong target, which severely damaged the baron's trust in Dias. When he saw that the baron looked wrong, he thought he was in trouble, so he asked cautiously: " Uncle, what’s wrong? Is it too expensive?”

"No, it's not expensive, not expensive at all! Such a good magic mirror should be worth this price!" The baron waved his hand heavily, then turned to his butler Matt and said: "Go, take another 800, no, take 1,000 Lunt gave it to Rosen and asked him to build a better magic mirror."

Rosen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Uncle, it's more than 1,000."

The baron only felt that the little guy in front of him had real abilities and was very honest. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He waved his hand and said boldly: "Don't refuse, the extra 200 is my reward for you. You Being able to fix the magic mirror for me shows that you are really capable. Alchemist. As long as you build a better magic mirror for me, I will not only reward you with money, but I will also build you a good house in the town of Sunderland, and I can also build you a good house in the Baron if you want. I will make a room for you in the house for you to live permanently."

"Ah~ Thank you uncle, I will try my best to create the best magic mirror for you."

After speaking, he opened his mouth and seemed to hesitate to speak.

"Do you have anything else to say?" the baron asked immediately.

Rosen chuckled, scratched his head, and said, "Uncle, actually, compared to making magic mirrors, what I'm really good at is refining potions to treat various diseases. When I build a new magic mirror for you, I plan to go to the Northern Wisdom City Nerogard Academy to learn more about pharmacy, but as you know, studying far away requires a lot of money. So, can the house be exchanged for more lant?"

The Baron's body trembled slightly and he began to look at Rosen carefully. After looking at Rosen for a long time, he said, "You mean, you are more proficient in refining potions?"

Rosen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right."

The baron immediately asked: "What diseases can you cure?"

"It's hard to say. I'm good at using symptomatic medicine. For the same disease, different people may need different medicines because of their different body constitutions. Some diseases, I can completely cure, while others can only control the disease. Of course, None of this would be a big deal if I had enough time to study it.”

"Oh, yes, it's really good. Have you heard of roseola?" the baron suddenly asked.

Upon hearing these words, Rosen's heart suddenly moved: 'Sure enough, roseola is already the Baron's biggest worry. In this matter, the Baron must have high hopes for Diaz, which is very detrimental to me. I have to guard against this move in advance. ’.

Thinking of this, Rosen smiled and said: "Of course I have heard of it. Roseate rash was first popular in the north. In recent years, similar cases have appeared in many places. In fact, I have also done some research on roseate rash. , I have found the general idea of ​​​​refining the therapeutic potion. I believe that it is only a matter of time before we find the antidote."

"Hiss~ Countless pharmacists are looking for the antidote for roseola, but they have all failed. Why do you think you can do it?" The baron stared at Rosen closely.

Rosen's eyes were unflinching: "Because I have a special talent in refining potions. When I was at home, my father got malaria. I prepared the potion myself and successfully cured him. Because of this, I wanted to go north. Study in the City of Wisdom and learn more about medicine.”

It is true that Sir Laplace had malaria, and it was really cured by Rosen. However, it was not the talent for refining medicine that Rosen said, but the result of a mistake. Although the old Sir was cured of malaria, But he also lost half his life due to the torment of medicine, and it took him half a year to recuperate before he got better.

The baron heard about this. He was thoughtful and pondered for a long time. He said to Rosen: "Yes, being a pharmacist is also very good. I promise you, I will exchange the house for 500 rands."

Rosen looked happy: "Thank you, uncle."

Here, the baron's high mood suddenly dropped. He sighed inexplicably and said: "I don't know if I can wait until you finish your studies. Forget it, you go and do your work."

Rosen saluted again, took half a step back, and suddenly asked: "Uncle, you seem to be worried. Is it because of the deserters around the town?"

"Yeah~ I guess." The Baron nodded.

"Are there many deserters?"

"It's not that much." The baron replied, and then waved his hand: "Leave the matter of desertion to uncle. As for your children, don't worry about such bad things, just concentrate on making the magic mirror for me. "

Rosen was unwilling to give in: "Yes"

"Stop talking and go back. I'm tired and want to take a rest."

After saying that, the baron didn't want to speak anymore. He turned and walked towards the small garden not far away.

Rosen looked at his back. He was obviously a strong and tall man, but his back made people feel a little stooped, as if his energy had been drained.

Since the Baron was unwilling to speak, Rosen had no way to force him to speak. He could only salute the Baron again, turned around and walked towards the gate of the Baron's Mansion.

He held the 1,100 rand in his pocket and thought to himself: 'In the coming days, the world will become more and more chaotic. If I don't have a powerful weapon at my side, I really can't feel at ease. But, exactly what weapon should I build? ’

As he walked, he thought: 'This weapon must be powerful, easy to operate, and simple in structure. Especially the materials must be low-level and primitive. Well, by the way, what is the name of my first weapon in the game? Oh, by the way, it’s called ‘Spiral Sprayer’, which seems pretty good. ’
