The Last Alchemist

"Squeak~squeak~"

The carriage was driving on the muddy road, bumping up and down. Diaz felt dizzy and his stomach was turbulent.

I want to lie on the ground and vomit quickly.

"Despicable robber! Taking advantage of others' danger! Coward!" He kept cursing in his mouth.

A robber next to the carriage heard what he said and sneered: "Magic, I advise you to keep your mouth clean. Our leader's temper is not like ours."

So good, if he gets angry, he might rip out your tongue. "

Diaz felt a chill in his heart and asked, "Why don't you kill me?"

"Our head wants to see you."

"You have a black beard on your head?" Diaz asked.

"Blackbeard is what you call him. We all call him the Wolf King." The bandit muttered under his breath.

‘Wolf King? ’

Dias suddenly recalled the werewolves he had seen in the village before. Those half-human, half-wolf monsters covered with black hair were devouring them crazily.

The corpses of the people in Caopo Village looked like wild beasts that had eaten the flesh and blood of their prey.

"You actually joined forces with monsters?!"

The robber shrugged: "Yeah, so what?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will eat you?" Dias asked in horror.

The robber sneered: "Why did you eat me? I obeyed the Wolf King's orders and helped him run errands, and there were so many people around to eat, especially Sunderland, with thousands of people. You said, Wolf King With so many options, why eat what works for him?”

Dias's back felt chills after hearing this. He thought to himself that he was already a ruthless person, but compared with these bandits, he was still insignificant. The huge Sunderland was actually regarded as a granary by them. !

Seeing that he was silent, the robber shrugged: "I know you can't accept this kind of thing. In fact, I was like this at first. But I figured it out later. You see, those nobles and those lords never work in the fields. , but can eat well every meal, and still wear beautiful clothes, They live in warm big houses, and the farmers in their territories work hard in the fields every day to provide the nobles with luxury. But once they get sick, they can only wait in the musty shack. Death. What is the difference between those noble lords and monsters?"

Dias shook his head: "No, no, monsters and people are always different!"

"Haha~" Another short and stocky robber next to the carriage suddenly laughed: "Dias, stop being so pretentious. We all know everything about what you did."

Diaz was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

The stocky robber glanced at the magician in the carriage with disdain: "It's about Caopo Village. If you hadn't been secretly causing trouble, how could so many people have gotten sick? If you hadn't designed the baron's mistress to get sick, how could the baron have gotten sick? Rose spots, hehe~ You’ve done no less bad things than us. Let’s not look down on anyone.”

"You're talking nonsense~ How could I do such a thing."

"嘁~"

The stocky robber sneered: "You just did it, why don't you dare to admit it? With your hypocrisy, you are no different from those nobles. Ad, I hate this kind of bastard the most, how about we let him Cut it?"

The one who was called Ade was the robber who spoke first. He shook his head: "Although this guy is a bastard, he is still a magician from the City of Wisdom. He has a good brain. His skills can be used to his advantage."

"You're lucky." The short robber glanced at Diaz with contempt.

The carriage drove along the mountain road. As it went, the road became narrower and the trees on both sides of the road became denser. Gradually, the tree crowns covered the entire mountain road, and the environment became very gloomy and the temperature dropped a lot.

Diaz's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

After walking for a few kilometers on the tree-lined path, a large open space appeared in front of it. A bonfire was lit in the middle of the open space. On both sides of the entrance, two earthen walls over three meters high were piled up with sacks filled with sand. Behind the entrance, you can see a dozen large sheds built around the open space. There are at least a hundred strong men standing or sitting outside the houses. Each one is fully armed, with a gloomy look and cold eyes. At first glance, he looks like a murderer. Ru Ma's ruthless character.

Finally, the carriage stopped by the bonfire. The robber Ade walked up to a one-eyed man and whispered a few words, and then the man looked towards the carriage.

Dias clearly saw that the light of the campfire shone on the strong man's one eye, reflecting a faint green light. His heart suddenly trembled: 'The oil-green wolf eyes~ are high-level werewolves! ’

As soon as the thought flashed across his mind, the one-eyed man walked towards the carriage, holding a dagger with a cold light in his hand. When he reached the carriage, he suddenly raised his hand, and the dagger was placed on the carriage like lightning. Yas's neck.

Dias clearly felt the cold edge. He was sure that as long as the opponent's hand exerted a slight force, the blood vessels in his neck would be cut open, and his blood would spray into the sky like a fountain.

"Dias Romley, I'll give you a chance to choose." The strong man's voice was low and hoarse, with an indescribable wildness.

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Dias's forehead, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down involuntarily. After a while, he managed to speak: "What do you want?"

The strong man chuckled softly: "Follow me, or I'll send you to hell now."

Diaz's body trembled involuntarily. He wanted to refuse, but the cold blade around his neck prevented him from gathering the courage to refuse. At the moment of the choice between life and death, what his mentor once said to him came to mind: "Dias, we can be despicable, we can be ruthless, we can give up everything in the world, but we must never forget that we and monsters are incompatible."

‘With the eye of wisdom, find the strength to fight monsters from nature. ’ This was the motto left by Gleison, the first president of Nerogard College, when he founded the school.

'A student of Nerogard who associates with monsters is an unforgivable traitor, and anyone has the right to judge his crimes! ’ This is an iron law that everyone on the mainland agrees with.

At this moment, Dias felt almost desperate: 'Teacher, I understand what you are saying, but...but I am still young and I want to live. ’

Tears flowed out silently, sliding down his cheeks and dripping on the cold dagger.

"My patience is limited, what do you say?" The strong man exerted a little force, and the edge of the dagger almost pressed into the skin of Diaz's neck.

Dias closed his eyes and said with difficulty: "I choose to take the first path."

"Okay!" The strong man laughed, took back the dagger, then turned around and waved to a robber: "Come here, put Mr. Diaz down and bring some thick clothes."

The robber complied one by one.

After a while, Dias was helped out of the carriage and put on a thick leather jacket. A guy brought him a bowl of hot broth.

Although he escaped, Diaz's face was full of depression. He sat by the campfire, holding broth in his hands and staring at the campfire with dull eyes.

The one-eyed man sat down next to him: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Cummins. Some people call me Blackbeard, and some people call me Wolf King."

Dias smiled dryly: "I'm honored."

"Hahaha~" Blackbeard Cummins laughed: "Looking at your expression, I know you definitely don't feel honored. But it doesn't matter, you will definitely change your mind in the future. Oh, by the way, I heard that you are very concerned about roseola. Is there any research?”

"Yes." Dias nodded, but a young boy flashed in his mind.

"Very good." Blackbeard picked up a dagger, picked an unknown piece of meat, and roasted it on the campfire. While roasting, he said, "You should know that I want Sunderland, but the terrain of Sunderland is really good. Of course, my warriors can attack it, but there will be a lot of additional damage. So, I hope you can help me spread the rosette in the city. The more you spread, the better."

Dias was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to refuse. He had indeed done some despicable things, but it was to create some experimental samples and to find the antidote for rosacea, not to put this damn thing The disease is spreading all over the world.

However, he quickly realized his current situation. He had no room for rejection. After thinking for a few seconds, a light suddenly flashed in his mind, and a thought suddenly jumped into his mind: 'That boy, don't you mean to find him? Do you know about medicine? Then he is the mortal enemy of this werewolf, hehe. ’

Thinking of this, Dias' mood improved a lot. He took a sip of the broth and said, "Wolf Wolf Head, there is something about Sunderland that I have to tell you."

Dias' change of words made Blackbeard feel very happy. He took a bite of the barbecue and said with a smile: "You tell me."

"The situation is like this. There is an alchemist apprentice in the town of Sunderland named Rosen Laplace. He accidentally found the treatment potion for roseola. Therefore, how to spread roseola in the town of Sunderland It’s no longer feasible.”

Blackbeard stopped and said, "Treatment potion? How is it possible? Didn't Master Fred say that roseola cannot be cured?"

Dias was secretly happy: "I thought so at first, and I questioned it, but now he has saved two people. I have seen the effect of the medicine with my own eyes, so..."

"Hmm~~This alchemy apprentice named Rosen is really troublesome." Blackbeard fell into deep thought. After a while, he waved to a man standing next to the big shed: "Aran, I have a mission."

Diaz looked over and saw an ordinary-looking, dwarf and thin young man walking over quickly. When he arrived, the young man whispered: "Boss, what are your orders?"

Blackbeard whispered: "Take a few clever men and sneak into Sunderland to find an opportunity to kill an alchemy apprentice named Rosen Laplace. By the way, let's go to his residence and look for any potion formulas. If you have any, bring them back to me.”

"Yes, head." Aran nodded, immediately turned around and walked towards the crowd. After a while, he picked out three young people with ordinary faces, and the four of them turned around and left the clearing in the forest.

Blackbeard said to Dias again: "Since that boy can find the treatment potion, he must have cured the baron's disease. The baron will definitely treat him as a treasure. With Aran and a few people, it may be difficult to complete the task. So. , I want you to cooperate secretly."

Dias hated Rosen to the core, and he said without hesitation: "Just tell me!"

"It goes as planned. You want to spread rosettes over a large area in Sunderland town and create chaos. By the way, I also need some kerosene and a trebuchet for throwing fire bombs. Can you make these?"

"I can do it, head."

This time, Dias shouted very smoothly.
