The Last Alchemist

After leaving the Baron's Mansion, Rosen found Anne again.

"How's the situation?"

Rosen shook his head: "The Baron is very strict and didn't get any information, but the situation should not be optimistic. The Baron's Mansion has already started to prepare for war."

"Hmm~ It seems that the road going north must have become very dangerous, and we may have to stay in Sunderland for a while."

Rosen nodded in agreement.

There are only two of them. Annie is a mutant hunter. She is powerful and has keen senses, but Rosen's physical fitness is that of an ordinary person. The defeated army has already reached Sunderland, and the northern border must have lost the most basic order. . If she encounters a group of monsters or something, no matter how strong Annie is, she will still be unable to defeat four people with just two fists.

"I just got 1,100 rands from the baron. I'm going to the blacksmith shop later to build some self-defense. What's wrong, why are you looking at me like this?"

Anne pinched her round chin and looked at Rosen thoughtfully: "I wonder if you are the Baron's illegitimate son. Otherwise, how could he give you so much money at once?"

Rosen couldn't help rolling his eyes and explained: "I promised to build a brand new magic mirror for the Baron. This money is the material fee the Baron gave me. Well, I know you are smarter than the Baron."

He stood on tiptoe and whispered in Anne's ear: "Actually, the new magic mirror costs up to 100 rands."

Annie was shocked, her red lips were slightly opened, her golden eyes were full of shock, and her body remained motionless.

Rosen spoke in Anne's ear. When he saw Anne's appearance, a surge of heat surged through his heart. He couldn't help but touch Anne's cheek with his lips. As soon as he touched her, Anne's whole body was shaken violently, as if she was electrocuted. His cheeks turned red in an instant, and with a subconscious wave of his hand, Rosen was pushed and flew a full seven or eight meters, and he sat down on the ground, almost falling apart.

Annie hurried over and helped Rosen up: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that my butt hurts a bit." Rosen rubbed his butt. He felt that his butt must have been broken into eight pieces.

"Who told you to act recklessly? You are so young and don't know how to learn well!" Annie blushed.

Rosen could only laugh awkwardly.

After a while, Anne returned to normal. She looked around, then whispered into Rosen's ear: "You dare to cheat the Baron out of his money. If he finds out, we will be in trouble."

Rosen shook his head and pointed to his own head: "You can't say that. The material cost may be less than 100 rands, but my knowledge is unique. Furthermore, the magic mirror I created is better than the Baron's. Some are several times stronger, and he will definitely be satisfied.”

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you. So what should we do next?" Anne has also seen a lot of troubles. She has also done a lot of defrauding money from ignorant nobles, but the number is not as high as Rosen's. It's just that big.

When it came to business, Rosen immediately put away his playful demeanor and said seriously: "I have already thought about it. Because of the roseate incident, the Baron is actually under the invisible control of Diaz. And in order to survive, the Baron will do anything. Come out, including taking action against us. We want to stay safe in Sunderland and a cure for roseola must be found as soon as possible."

This has nothing to do with friendship, and it has nothing to do with morality. It's just a person's survival instinct. The Baron is now a drowning man, and he will seize any chance of survival, even if he knows it is only a straw.

Anne agreed: "Well, you are right. I will continue to keep an eye on the magician here."

Rosen said: "At the same time, I will take the time to build an alchemical weapon. It is an enhanced and upgraded version of the bamboo pipe. Its power, rate of fire, and convenience will be greatly improved. At present, I already have specific drawings. With so many lants, it’s not difficult to create.”

"Very good." Annie's confidence increased greatly. If Rosen could really build such a weapon, she would not panic even if another high-level vampire came.

After the plan was completed, the two split up again.

Anne was still monitoring the Baron Mansion in the dark, while Rosen went to the blacksmith shop.

There are many metal parts in the weapon of the Spiral Sprayer. In the game, the blacksmith shop is almost the only source of metal creations. Although the metal creations here are all forged by hand and the level of craftsmanship is very low, with Rosen’s current alchemical power , he was far away from breaking the metal key, and he had no other choice at all.

Sunderland's blacksmith shop is only 50 meters away from the Baron's Palace, and Rosen walked there in less than half a minute.

By this time, it was already after five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already set, and the sky was getting dark quickly.

When Rosen arrived, he heard the clanging sound of hammers coming from the blacksmith shop. When he walked to the door, a wave of heat immediately hit his face.

Looking in from the door is a spacious hall, with a huge wrought iron platform in the center. Next to the iron platform, a man with gray hair, a beard, and a shirtless man held a sword embryo with iron pliers in his left hand, and brandished a large blacksmith's hammer in his right hand, striking it every time.

Blacksmith Craven, the most skilled blacksmith in Sunderland town, has a bad temper and extremely expensive charges. In the game, Rosen was deceived by this guy for at least 30,000 rand.

Next to the forging iron platform, there were five young people busy. They were all naked, revealing their strong muscles. These are Craven's apprentices, specifically serving as Kraven's assistants.

Seeing someone coming to the door, Kraven raised his head, took a quick glance at Rosen, then lowered his head and continued to forge the sword embryo. While beating, he shouted to chase people away: "Little guy, this is not for you to play. Place, go quickly."

‘Uh~’ Rosen felt a toothache. When he met someone recently, he would despise his age. It's really inconvenient for me to do things when I'm too young.

He coughed slightly and said, "Master Craven, I have a job that I would like your help with."

"No time!" Craven refused without asking.

Rosen looked stunned: "I am willing to pay 30% higher than the market price!"

Craven stopped the hammer and stretched out his arm to wipe the thick sweat from his face. He picked up the iron tongs and put the sword embryo into the stove nearby to reheat it. At the same time, he replied: "Are you deaf? I Not available!”

"Why?" Rosen grabbed a handful of Silver Lante: "I have money."

Kraven's expression remained completely unchanged, with a look of impatience on his face: "Little one, are you blind? There's going to be a war, you know? I don't have time to play house with you. If you don't leave, I will kick you out!"

"."

There was absolutely no room for negotiation. Rosen had no choice but to retreat from the blacksmith shop.

‘There’s going to be a war. Kraven is busy forging swords and won’t rest until dark. This must be a task assigned by the Baron. The Baron’s tasks are basically unprofitable, so it’s no wonder that he has such a bad temper. ’

In a short period of time, Kraven may not be able to count on him.

There was no way to get the metal parts for the moment. Rosen thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the medicinal shop in the town.

The rotating nozzle requires propellant, and the metal accessories of the nozzle also require surface treatment with special chemical solutions. In Sunderland, these chemicals can only be found in medicine shops.

The medicine shop was located on the main street of Sunderland, about 100 meters away from the blacksmith shop. Soon, Rosen arrived at the door of the medicine shop again.

The drug store was open, and behind the counter stood a skinny old man with a sallow complexion. He was holding a pipe in his hand and was smoking weakly.

This guy's name is Gordon. He is in his fifties. His wife and children are all dead, and he is alone. He is very shrewd and stingy. In the game, players call him Grandet.

Seeing Rosen standing at the door, he glanced over and asked, "Child, what are you doing here?"

Rosen thought carefully about the chemicals he needed and said, "Uncle, I want to buy mercury, soda ash, chlorite, saltpeter, and sulfur."

As soon as he reported a few terms, the old man Gordon waved his hands impatiently: "No! No! This is a medicine shop, not an alchemy shop. The things you want can only be bought in the free city of Berkeley. Nothing!”

"Nothing at all?" Rosen asked reluctantly. In the game, this old man can obviously buy some chemicals.

Gordon shook his head: "If you had come a few days earlier, I would still have a few of them. But now, they are all gone. They were all bought by the magician in Caopo Village, and there is not a single one left. The world is in such chaos now. , The trade routes to the north are all cut off, and I have nowhere to go to buy goods.”

Well, there is no need to buy ready-made medicines, even if you have money.

"Huh~ The productivity is backward, the technology is backward, it's really incomparable with the earth." Rosen was very emotional. He had no choice but to turn around and leave the medicine shop.

For a moment, Rosen didn't know what to do with the materials. He walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about what he should do.

‘The most critical part of the big spiral sprayer is the barrel. The barrel is just a hollow iron pipe. Blacksmith Craven can’t get it here, so where can he get it? ’

Don’t look at the fact that there are seamless iron pipes everywhere on the earth. In this world, iron pipes are a rarity. Even in the baron's palace, not a single metal pipe can be found.

As he was thinking about it, a memory suddenly popped into his mind: "There is a hollow iron pipe at the glassmaker Savi's place. That pipe is used for blowing glass. Since it can be used for blowing glass, it must have good airtightness." Yes, I’ll go find him right now.”

With this thought, Rosen quickly walked towards the glass shop.
