The Last Alchemist

Get up, quickly put on clothes, Rosen opened the door.

‘Well, why is there anyone in the yard? ’ Rosen was surprised.

He looked carefully and saw that it was Sister Mary and Little Alice. Sister Mary was cleaning the yard with a broom in her hand, while little Alice was squatting by the dirt in the corner of the yard, holding a small wooden stick in her hand and writing imperial characters on the dirt with concentration.

Every time she wrote a word, she read it carefully three times.

Mary also noticed Rosen, immediately turned around and bowed: "My lord."

Rosen stepped forward and looked at Mary's face carefully. He found that the abscesses on her cheeks were all covered with blood scabs. Some of the thinner blood scabs had traces of them about to fall off, and a hint of pink could still be seen. of new meat. Looking at Mary's one eye, the originally red and swollen cornea also lost its color and became black and white.

Due to bone deformation caused by bacterial erosion, Mary's face still looked very ugly, but it was no longer terrifying.

Rosen turned to look at little Alice again. Her condition was even better, with only some brown patches left on her skin. Her face was also plumper and no longer as skinny as when they first met.

Overall, both women recovered incredibly quickly.

Rosen was still a little worried and asked, "Sister Mary, how do you feel about yourself?"

Mary grinned: "It's very good, it couldn't be better. I used to be so painful that I couldn't sleep at night. I often felt sleepy during the day and had stomachaches. I had no strength at all. Last night, I slept until dawn, and when I woke up, , I have all my strength back and my mind is clear."

Little Alice trotted over and said, "Brother, brother, me too, me too, I don't feel any pain at all."

Rosen knew clearly that syphilis patients on Earth would often feel sleepy and weak when the bacteria invaded the internal organs. If the bacteria invaded the liver, they would experience pain in the liver area and jaundice in the eyes. The situation Mary mentioned was similar to It should appear after the condition improves.

‘Hmm~ It seems that apart from the fast recovery speed, there is nothing unusual about it. That's fine, I just need to take the medicine normally. ’

Thinking like this, Rosen nodded and said: "It seems that the disease has been completely suppressed, but it has not been completely defeated. Next, I will continue to use medicine until the disease is completely eliminated."

"Yes, my lord." Mary cheered up.

"Brother, you are so awesome." Little Alice raised her little head and looked at Rosen with eyes full of admiration.

Rosen laughed, feeling very happy. He reached out and touched little Alice's soft and sparse hair, and continued: "Sister Mary, you don't have to hide in the wine cellar all the time now. You can walk around in the yard, but for To avoid unnecessary trouble, you still can’t leave the yard until the disease disappears completely.”

"Yeah, I know." Mary nodded repeatedly.

"Now continue taking the medicine. Come to the room with me."

When he arrived in the room, Rosen first used a syringe to draw blood and routinely checked the drug concentration and the number of Treponema pallidum. Then, he kept detailed experimental records as usual. Finally, he prepared a penicillin solution and injected it into the two women respectively. depends on the drug concentration in the blood.

After the operation was completed, Rosen took some lent and left the yard. He first went to the small town grain store, paid a high price, grabbed a sack of grain from the crowd, and carried it back to the yard. Then, he bought some salt, firewood, and warm clothes. Daily necessities were also transported back to the yard.

In this way, Mary can cook her own food in the yard instead of having Rosen carry it from place to place.

After settling Mary and her daughter, Rosen took the three bottles of medicine he got from Veronica and went out.

He did not go directly to the glass shop, but went to the small restaurant first, bought a roast rabbit and a bag of newly brewed ale, and then strode around the town square to meet Annie.

Anne was still staying in the same place. The air in late autumn was getting colder and colder, the cold wind was blowing, and the sunlight was pale. In order to keep out the cold, Anne wore a thick hooded cotton cloak. After seeing Rosen, Her eyes lit up and she smiled before saying anything: "You seem to be in good spirits."

Rosen handed over the rabbit meat and ale: "Come on, eat something. You must be exhausted these days."

Annie smiled, took the rabbit meat, and first pulled one of the hind legs to Rosen, and then started to eat: "I'm not tired at all. Sunderland has a curfew at night recently. The town gate will be closed after six o'clock in the evening. Dias couldn't get in at all, so I stayed in the pigeonhouse next to the square."

Rosen took a bite of rabbit meat, took another sip of ale, and stared at the gate of the Baron's Mansion not far ahead. He could see that people were constantly running in and out of the gate. There were craftsmen, soldiers, and farmers. They would Food, weapons and various military supplies were delivered to the Baron's Mansion.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Sandra's situation is getting more and more tense. In the morning, I went to the grain store to buy semolina. A 20-pound bag of semolina was actually priced at 10 Rands, and there were many people rushing to buy it. ”

Anne nodded lightly: "That's right. Yesterday, the Baron sent three teams of scouts to the surrounding area, with a total of 15 people, but only 7 came back. There are many more refugees in the town. I heard from these refugees that one is called Blackbeard. The bandit leaders are plundering villages everywhere, and it is said that they have gathered more than 700 people."

"Are there already more than 700 people?" Rosen was a little surprised.

Yesterday morning, he heard that there were only 500 people. In less than a day, there were more than 200 people. Although it may be a rumor, it must be groundless and there must be a reason. Blackbeard's real people will definitely be there.

After pondering for a few seconds, he whispered: "It is almost winter now. Blackbeard is probably storing food for the winter. He is the richest man in Sunderland. He has gathered so many people. He has plans for Sunderland."

Annie nodded: "I think so too. Rosen, do you think we should leave here early and go south to avoid it?"

The north is very dangerous, but the south is the central area of ​​the Parason Empire, so it should be a lot more peaceful.

Rosen thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult. I just got more than 1,000 francs from the Baron, and the Baron won't let me go easily. Besides, we are definitely not the only ones who want to escape. Blackbeard can definitely do it too. Think of it. People who want to escape must He will bring enough money and food, and Blackbeard will not miss such a robbery opportunity, so the roads near Sunderland are probably full of bandits. Besides, Mary and Alice's illness has not been cured. It's just the two of us leaving, and they're afraid."

Anne sighed and nodded in agreement: "What you said is correct, but the situation is really frightening. Let's not mention this. You said before that you were making weapons. Have you gained anything?"

As soon as he mentioned the weapon, a proud smile suddenly appeared on Rosen's face: "Of course, in fact, I have basically built it, only the last step is left."

Annie's eyes suddenly lit up: "What kind of weapon, show me."

Rosen took out the parchment he had with him and opened one of the sheets. On it was a three-dimensional drawing of the finished product: "This is it."

Annie took a closer look and frowned: "It looks like a war hammer, but it doesn't look much like it. It's weird."

Rosen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pointed at the picture and began to explain the principles of trolling to Annie.

Annie has seen the power of bamboo pipes and is very smart. After Rosen explained for a while, she understood. She took a long breath and smiled: "I feel at ease. With this thing here, don't talk about some ruthless bandits." , you don’t have to worry even if you meet a high-level vampire.”

Rosen shook his head and sighed: "Not necessarily. You see, this thing weighs 15 pounds. I am too weak and my reaction is not fast enough. Even if it is powerful enough, it will be difficult to hit a vampire. In fact, it is in your hands. Only then can it exert its maximum power. Unfortunately, the time is too short and the materials are insufficient, so I have no time to improve it. When I have the opportunity, I will improve it and equip you with one, so that it can exert its maximum power."

Annie has no alchemy talent. In order for her to be able to use it, the bullet and gun body structure of the Big Spray must be improved, and precision designs such as bullet ignition and firing pins must be added to it. The gun body structure will be much more complicated than it is now. In order to ensure the reliability and safety of the gun, Rosen will definitely spend a lot of time, energy, and alchemy materials, and Rosen is now in short supply of these three things.

Anne was very surprised when she heard this: "Get one for me? Can I do it?"

"Of course. Just wait."

Rosen looked up at the sky. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning. He said, "It's getting late. It's so chaotic outside. I guess Diaz will arrive at the Baron's Mansion in the near future."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."

"Well, then I'm going to the glass shop now. When Dias comes, you go to the glass shop to find me."

Annie was stunned: "Glass shop?"

Rosen smiled: "Yes, that's it. The owner of the glass shop is now my disciple and he obeys my instructions."

Anne spread her hands: "This thing sounds really magical. I heard that the owner of the glass shop, Savi, has an arrogant character. Except for the Baron, he has an indifferent attitude towards everyone else."

Rosen laughed: "There will be more magical things in the future. You have to get used to it. Stop talking about it. I'm leaving."

Rosen would be in a very happy mood every time he chatted with Annie. He put his hands in his pockets, whistled, and walked briskly toward the glass shop.

The main streets of Sunderland were crowded with refugees and there were many beggars. To avoid unnecessary entanglement, Rosen chose an alley to take a shortcut to the glass shop.

As he was walking, a red shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. After a closer look, Rosen subconsciously shouted: "Veronica, are you looking for me again so soon?"

Veronica's face was expressionless: "Rosen, I'm not here to discuss geometry with you this time. I have other things to talk to you about."

Rosen looked around and saw no one in the alley, so he said, "Just tell me."

Veronica said quickly: "In the days to come, Sunderland will become more and more dangerous. If you listen to my advice, you should leave this place now."

Rosen understood: "You mean Blackbeard?"

Veronica was noncommittal: "For some reasons, I can't say more. I can only tell you, leave Sunderland as soon as possible, the sooner the better! It's best to leave now!"

"Then what if I don't leave?" Rosen asked.

Veronica frowned slightly: "I kindly informed you of the danger, but I didn't want to see you die at a young age. Since you don't listen to the advice and are seeking your own death, no one can save you."

Before she finished speaking, Veronica backed away quickly. Her speed was so fast that Rosen could only see a very light red shadow. In less than 1 second, even the red shadow disappeared without a trace.

Rosen shook his head and thought: 'You want me to leave Sunderland. It seems that Veronica already knows that Blackbeard is a high-level werewolf. ’

A high-level werewolf gathers a large number of bandits to attack Sunderland. If the Baron relies on his strength alone, there is really no possibility of defending the town. The situation will be the same as in the game. The Baron is killed and Sunderland becomes a notorious bandit den.

‘Killing a monster can quickly gain free talent points. Now that Blackbeard is actively attacking Sunderland and fighting with the Baron, it is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of the situation. ’

“High-level werewolf. Hehe, come on, I’ll let you taste the taste of a big sprayer!”
