The Last Alchemist

The small garden of the Baronial Palace.

The air suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

On the side of the rain pavilion, Rosen held a crystal clear glass bottle in his hand. Less than one-fifth of the space in the bottle contained a ball of white powder similar to flour.

Just looking at the appearance, the powder seems ordinary.

But Baron Draco's eyes were fixed on the glass bottle without blinking. His cheeks were red, as if he were drunk, and the muscles on his bearded cheeks were twitching. This look is like that of an ignorant boy who is about to confess his love to the goddess in his heart. He desperately longs to make her smile, but is deeply afraid of being rejected by the goddess.

The magician Dias Romley's reaction was another extreme. After roaring angrily, he stared at the glass medicine bottle and murmured involuntarily: "No, this is impossible."

He had reason to doubt.

In the north, roseola has wreaked havoc on the upper class, and countless nobles and wealthy businessmen have fallen ill. In order to survive, the desperate nobles have offered sky-high rewards to find a cure for rosette.

Countless pharmacists, alchemists, and magicians have invested in it, spending countless energy and financial resources to find various weird methods, but until now, no reliable guy has publicly announced that he has succeeded.

There are many scammers who make a lot of money out of this.

Now, such a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy, who is only an alchemist apprentice, dares to say that he has conquered the god of death, Rosacea. How arrogant!

How ignorant!

He was 100% sure that the medicine must be fake!

Thinking this, he loudly said: "Lord, he must be lying to you!"

"Why? Although Rosen is young, he has real abilities, at least in magic mirrors." The Baron asked, his eyes always fixed on the glass medicine bottle.

Dias said confidently: "Because so far, there is no safe and reliable treatment for roseola. Lord Fred, the master pharmacist of Nerogard College, has studied roseola for 23 years and has cured 8 patients. . He said personally that roseola is a curse from the gods. Unless the gods forgive this mortal's sins, this mortal will never be cured! "

The Baron was suddenly shaken: "Ah, Master Fred really said that?"

"That's true!" Dias nodded firmly.

Fred Ben, a master of pharmacy, alchemy, and number theory, together with Sage Niya and Lightning Messenger Max, are known as the Three Saints of Nerogard. Their fame has spread across the continent and they are considered the embodiment of wisdom.

Every word he said was regarded as a standard and had unquestionable authority.

After Dias mentioned Fred's words, the balance in the Baron's heart suddenly tilted towards him, but after all, he still felt a little unwilling in his heart: "But Rosen said that his medicine was effective on Mary and little Alice."

"False!" Dias denied without a doubt: "This guy is just an alchemy apprentice. He can use his alchemical power to temporarily suppress the symptoms of roseola, but the disease has been deeply rooted in the patient's body. On the surface, it seems Although he has recovered, his internal organs are still affected by the disease, and he will eventually die.”

The baron looked confused. He turned to look at Rosen and asked, "Rosen, is this really the case?"

Rosen sighed secretly in his heart. Human beings are social animals and instinctively trust the strong and experts. When faced with authority, it is always easy to choose to believe. In other areas, if this survival strategy is correct, it can protect itself to the greatest extent.

But in the field of science, any mortal authority is illusory. If there is any authority, there is only one, and that is the truth determined through experiments.

It is a pity that in the age of ignorance, no, even in the scientifically prosperous earth, few people uphold such a scientific spirit. Ordinary people are always easily blinded by authoritative remarks from their own wisdom.

He turned to look at Baron Draco, his eyes as calm as water: "Uncle, Master Fred is also a mortal, and mortals will make mistakes. You don't have to believe my words, but you should believe your own eyes. Before making the final conclusion , I think you should see what's going on with Mary and little Alice, don't you?"

Dias immediately stopped him: "Lord, you can't do this. Not only does Mary have roseola, she also has the plague, in case it is infected with you."

The word "plague" has great power.

Baron Draco frowned slightly, with a hint of retreat on his face. He pondered for a while, but it was still difficult for him to make a decision.

While hesitating, he suddenly saw Rosen out of the corner of his eye.

The young man did not speak. He raised his chest and raised his head with a calm expression and confidence shining in his eyes.

Baron Draco's heart moved slightly and he glanced at Dias again.

Dias didn't notice the baron's gaze. He stared at Rosen closely with a hint of ferocity on his face.

Even though Baron Draco is tall and thick, he is thick and thin. He has been a lord for many years, and his knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people. Especially when it comes to seeing people, he is very good at it.

‘Well~ Dias seems to have a strong prejudice against Rosen. This guy even made fun of me before! As for Rosen, judging from the magic mirror, he is very reliable and has real abilities.’

Comparing the two, the balance in the Baron's heart once again tilted towards Rosen. He said to Rosen: "Can you guarantee safety?"

Rosen nodded and smiled: "If there is a plague in the town because of Mary and her daughter, uncle, you can chop off my head first!"

"What a courage!" The baron praised. He was awarded the title of baron because of his military achievements on the battlefield. On the battlefield, he admired those comrades who were brave and courageous the most. Now seeing Rosen's courage at such a young age, he immediately liked him more.

He continued: "I will send someone to follow you and bring them here!"

Dias immediately shouted: "Lord, no"

Baron Draco waved his hand heavily: "I have made a decision, everyone shut up!"

Dias was silent, his face uncertain.

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that things had come to this point, and Dias could no longer make trouble. He bowed to the baron and said: "My lord, they are in the wine cellar in my yard. The hunter who saved me before is nearby, I can ask her to bring them here."

"Yes, yes." The baron nodded.

Rosen walked out of the yard quickly and waved to Anne who was hiding in the dark. When Anne came over, he quickly told her what happened. At the end, he said, "Go quickly and come back soon."

"Okay."

Annie nodded and ran towards the small courtyard, while Rosen turned back to the garden.

About 15 minutes later, Anne drove a black-topped carriage into the courtyard of the Baron's Mansion. After entering the courtyard, the carriage did not stop and drove all the way to the small garden. When it reached the entrance of the small garden, the carriage turned sideways and the side door was right in front of the entrance of the small garden.

'Clang~'

The carriage door opened.

Baron Draco and Dias turned their heads together, staring at the carriage door.

After waiting for about ten seconds, a woman in a large linen cloak came out of the carriage shiveringly, then she turned around and hugged a little girl out of the carriage.

The little girl was pale and thin, wrapped in thick clothes, but her face was exposed, and it was clear that there were many spots on her face. From the shape, it was similar to rosacea, but the color was not the bright red of rosacea, but light brown.

As soon as he saw the little girl's appearance, Dias couldn't help shaking his head: "No~no~This is fake, this is definitely not Mary's daughter!"

Baron Draco's eyes flashed with a strange light. From the shape of the scar, he could see that the little girl must have had rosacea before.

"Her illness has improved!" Baron Draco couldn't help but say it.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he strode to Sister Mary, raised his hand, took off the hood of the cloak, and Mary's face covered with dark brown blood scabs was revealed.

"Ah~~"

Although the baron was mentally prepared, he still took a step back in fear, and then, he suppressed his nausea and looked carefully at the blood scabs on Mary's face.

There were a lot of blood scabs, which looked ugly, but new flesh had grown around them. There were also a lot of scars around the abscesses, but the color of the patches was also dark brown, and it could be clearly seen that they were fading.

Seeing this, the baron felt a strong hope in his heart, and he asked: "Mary, let me ask you, how did Rosen treat you?"

Mary turned her head and looked at Rosen, who smiled and nodded.

Mary said, "Sir, Lord Rosen took me away from Caopo Village and said he would treat us. Soon after we arrived in the town, he used something like crystal to inject a kind of water into my flesh. After half a day, I felt much better."

The Baron was a little confused: "Water? Into the flesh?"

Dias thought he had found a flaw and immediately said, "See, Rosen is lying. He took out a white powder, but he actually used another potion!"

"Rosen?"

Rosen smiled and said, "Uncle, this medicine needs to be dissolved in water when used, so it looks like water. Injecting it directly into the flesh is to enhance the efficacy. This is a unique treatment method."

"Wouldn't it be very painful?" The Baron's cheeks twitched a little.

Rosen shrugged his shoulders: "It hurts a little, but it doesn't affect the movement, and it will recover soon."

The Baron's eyes were shining, and his eyes moved back and forth between Mary and little Alice. Finally, he looked at Rosen and lifted his sleeves. On his thick arms covered with thick body hair, there were more than a dozen red spots.

"Little guy, I believe you. Give me your medicine and try it!"

When Dias heard it, he immediately rushed up and blocked the baron: "Lord, he is a liar, you can't..."

"Shut up!" Baron Draco's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and his eyes flashed with cold murderous intent: "Dias, you always like to treat others as fools, right?"

"Lord?" Dias' face turned pale and took a step back.

The baron gritted his teeth, a hideous smile appeared on his face, and words burst out from his teeth: "Hehehe~ Today, I, a fool, will teach you a lesson! Guards!"

As soon as these words came out, Dias's face changed drastically. He retreated again and again, all the way to the edge of the rain pavilion: "Draco, are you sure you want to do this?"

At this moment, Rosen suddenly felt that there were some abnormal changes in the air around Dias. Many oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules abnormally gathered around Dias, while some water molecules and nitrogen molecules radiated in the opposite direction, as if they were repelled by magnetic lines.

'Not good, high potential difference, the air is ionized, this guy is desperate! '
