The Last Alchemist

"Beng~Beng~Beng~"

In the workshop of the Baron Mansion, Rosen gently plucked the steel wire bow string of the steel crossbow and carefully tested the performance of the steel crossbow arm.

This steel crossbow must not only be powerful, but also have good reliability and first-class durability. This requires Rosen to choose the most balanced value between various properties.

Fortunately, he had completed most of the calculations long ago, and the current adjustments were only fine-tuning. About half an hour later, he handed the steel crossbow to Annie.

"Here you go. Also, these are test wooden arrows, without iron arrowheads. These are ordinary steel crossbow arrows, there are 28 of them. You can take two to test the power. These are silver crossbow arrows, there are only 8 of them. Use them in critical situations. . And this, these are special mercury crossbow arrows, there are only 3 of them, they are a weapon, they will be gone once you use them, don’t make a mistake.”

"I know."

Anne carefully put away the quiver containing the crossbow arrows, leveled the crossbow, and lowered the string with one hand, carefully feeling the force. She made this move, and the steel crossbow suddenly made a "bang~bang~bang~" sound. The sound was not loud, but the penetrating power was very strong, and people could feel the cohesive power contained in it.

She nodded repeatedly: "It's very powerful, much stronger than my hand crossbow. It feels good and stable, and it's easy to wind. I'll go and test the power."

With that said, she walked out of the workshop with the crossbow, placed the wooden arrow used to test the power in the arrow trough, adjusted the direction, aimed it at the stone courtyard wall 20 meters away, and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang~~Whoosh~~"

The sound of the bowstring and the sharp whistle of the wind sounded almost simultaneously, and a moment later, a small cloud of dust rose up from the stone wall 20 meters away.

Anne squinted and saw many white spots as deep as a knuckle on the stone wall. There were many sawdust fragments scattered around the white spots.

"A hardwood arrow can make a hole in a hard bluestone wall~~ Tsk tsk~ It's amazing~ I wonder how effective steel arrows are?"

She felt itchy, so she took out a steel crossbow arrow.

This kind of steel crossbow arrow has a hardwood shaft and a barbed arrow. It uses Rosen's special fine steel. Its surface shines with a light blue metallic luster. It is very beautiful and extremely hard. It is better than anything Anne has ever seen. Steel is hard. When she first got the finished product, she secretly tried it with a fish-scale steel sword. The result was that the arrowhead was basically undamaged, but her steel sword had a small crack, which made her feel distressed for a long time.

She cocked and loaded the steel crossbow, turned against the stone wall again, and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh~bang~"

The sound of wind and impact almost appeared one after another. With Anne's eyesight, she could only vaguely see the trajectory of the crossbow arrow. She confirmed that if she encountered such an attack at close range, she would definitely not be able to dodge it.

A cloud of powder rose up on the stone wall. After the powder dispersed, Anne looked over and saw only a black hole as thick as a finger, but the crossbow arrow was nowhere to be found.

Anne was shocked: 'Did he shoot through the stone wall? This wall is made of bluestone and is less than half a meter thick. ’

She quickly ran to the stone wall to check carefully: "It's not penetrated, but the hole is very deep, at least 15 centimeters deep. It's really amazing~ If my hand crossbow had such power that day, that high-level vampire would never be able to use it. Finger grip!"

Powerful equipment and weapons are the lifelong pursuit of hunters. The power of the steel crossbow is so amazing and it is so easy to use. Annie couldn't put it down right away. As for the ordinary hardwood hand crossbow, she had long forgotten about it.

Rosen had been standing at the door of the studio watching, and when he saw her walking back holding the steel crossbow tightly, he smiled and said: "Annie, the steel crossbow is just a temporary substitute, there will be better ones in the future, there is no need to be so precious. "

Anne looked at the steel crossbow with fondness and said with satisfaction: "No, no, no, I think it is perfect. It is the best weapon I have ever used!"

Rosen shrugged and didn't say much. Later, when he builds something new, Anne will realize how ignorant she is now.

He looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Calculating the time, I have to go treat the Baron and his companions."

"Go ahead, I just want to get familiar with my new weapon."

In the huge baronial palace, no one would talk to her except Rosen. Everyone avoided her, for fear that she would get some bad luck. Even the glassmaker Savi, who gets along with her every day, never talks to Anne. He comes here every day and racks his brains to calculate the parameters of composite lenses. He occasionally gives Rosen a hand, and when it gets dark, he goes back to rest. , don’t say much.

Therefore, as long as Rosen walked away due to something, Annie would stay alone in the corner, either practicing sword skills or simply being in a daze. This has long been the norm.

Rosen took the syringe, drew out the medicine, and then went to inject the baron.

The Baron was in the mansion, urging the craftsmen to strengthen the wooden frame behind the stone wall. When he saw Rosen coming over, the corners of his eyes twitched subconsciously, and the muscles on his buttocks that had no feeling at all were jumping and fainting. It hurts.

However, the medicine also showed amazing efficacy. In less than two days, the rash on his body had almost completely disappeared.

This made him have very complicated feelings about Rosen.

But in order to cure his illness, the Baron gritted his teeth and took the initiative to walk towards the Baron's Mansion. Rosen followed him with a staggered step.

When he arrived at the room in the Baron's Mansion, the Baron lifted his robe and raised his buttocks.

Rosen spotted the spot and plunged in.

‘Hiss~’

The Baron's whole body shivered. It wasn't pain. He had already adapted to the pain. Mainly because he always had a fear in his heart, fearing that Rosen's strength might not be controlled well and his butt would be pierced in one go.

After the injection, Rosen checked the concentration of germs and penicillin in the Baron's blood as usual. This time, because the Baron could see the needle and was prepared, he was not too scared.

During the inspection, the Baron asked: "How is the situation?"

Rosen examined it carefully and nodded: "Uncle, the disease is no longer visible in your blood. But to be conservative, I recommend maintaining the treatment for another three days, and then stopping the medication for observation for a week. If not If it relapses, it should be completely cured.”

The Baron was very satisfied with the treatment effect. He chuckled and said, "Rosen, you are just too cautious. In fact, let me tell you, I have completely recovered now and do not need any more injections."

Rosen's face became solemn and he said seriously: "Uncle, this is no joke. The reason why roseola is difficult to treat is because the disease is cunning and very good at hiding. This is similar to using troops. If you don't eliminate the opponent at once, , eliminate the root cause and give the opponent a chance to breathe, it will regain its strength and make a comeback. By then, the disease will learn from the previous failure and become even more terrifying, and my medicine may not be able to defeat it. "

His words were easy to understand. He used the analogy of war. Baron Draco understood it easily. He nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, what you said makes perfect sense. We must not give the disease a chance to recuperate. We must work hard to the end." . Uncle, I will treat it as you say!"

Rosen's face softened: "Yeah~ Also, don't work too late these days, pay attention to rest, and try not to drink."

"It's easy to talk about other things, but drinking." Draco saw Rosen's face turned solemn and knew that he was trying to be reasonable again. These days, his biggest headache is when Rosen tries to reason with him, because what he says is very reasonable and he can't refute it at all. The other party was still doing it for his body, and he couldn't get angry yet, he was so aggrieved.

"Um, um, I'll try to drink as little as possible. Just drink less, okay? You know, uncle is a lord, and sometimes you really can't escape."

"Well, if you can't help it, then I won't."

"Okay." Draco nodded repeatedly, and then asked: "Today's treatment is over, right?"

Rosen nodded.

"Then I'll get to work first. Blackbeard is a ruthless character. I have to prepare for the battle with all my strength."

Before he finished speaking, Baron Draco turned around and walked away, disappearing after a few steps.

Looking at Draco's running back, Rosen sighed: 'Forget it, this guy is as strong as a bear. If he drinks a little bit, it shouldn't be a big problem. ’

After the Baron's business was settled, Rosen went to the room where Sister Mary and Little Alice lived to check on the conditions of the two girls.

At this time, the scars left by rosacea were almost invisible on little Alice's body. She had eaten well these days, wore warm clothes, slept well, and her cheeks had become much rounder. Sister Mary's condition is also very good. Most of the blood scabs have fallen off, and the pink and intact skin is exposed in the areas where they fell off. Especially on the face, there are almost no blood scabs. Apart from being a little ugly, they are no longer much different from normal people. .

After routine examination of the two women's superficial symptoms, Rosen began treatment. Both girls have become accustomed to the treatment. Although little Alice frowns in pain every time, she no longer cries.

Finally, he took notes on the experiment as usual, and then began to teach little Alice how to read and write the imperial script.

Little Alice is really smart. In just a few days, little Alice has learned more than 500 imperial characters and can read some basic letters.

Since he had such good qualifications, Rosen would certainly not waste them. After teaching imperial writing, he started teaching mathematics again.

In mathematics, Alice also had a talent that surprised Rosen. The most important thing is that her current thinking is like a blank sheet of paper, with almost no influence from other world cultures. Alice learns whatever Rosen teaches, without being picky at all, and she learns very quickly.

The two of them taught and learned together, and time flew by quickly.

Soon, it got dark, the servants of the Baron Mansion brought dinner, and Anne came back.

The four of them gathered together and chatted about interesting things while eating. The atmosphere in the room was peaceful and warm.

After he was half full, Rosen took a sip of potato stew and suddenly turned to Mary and said, "Sister, what are your plans for the future?"
