The Last Alchemist

In the flames, Dias screamed.

The onlookers had different expressions. Some were loud and happy, some showed fear, and some were whispering to each other about the news they had heard recently.

"Have you heard? The divine punishment outside the town last night was actually the Baron's weapon."

"Really? What weapon has such power? Don't be lying, right?"

"My cousin is the baron's bodyguard. He said that the baron calls that thing Doomsday Iron Ball. It looks only as big as his head, but once it gets violent, it's amazing."

"With such a weapon, who would dare to attack Sunderland in the future?"

"Well, it's not necessarily a good thing."

Rumors like this are quietly spreading among the people. Words like 'Doomsday Iron Ball', 'Thor's Hammer', 'Werewolf Nemesis' and other words quietly appear in the people's mouth. No one knows the true status of these weapons, but everyone is. To put it bluntly, everyone believes that these weapons have very terrifying power. They can destroy the world and kill werewolves like dogs.

There is a tavern next to the town square called Pigeon Nest. Because of the burning, almost everyone in the town went to watch, even the tavern owner and waiters stood at the door and watched from a distance.

No one noticed that two strange women were sitting by the window of the second floor hall of Pigeon Nest.

The two women, one wearing dark red leather armor, thick long burgundy hair, burgundy eyes, beautiful faces, and naturally charming aura, are none other than Veronica.

The woman sitting opposite her had black eyes, long black hair, a petite figure, and was wearing an exquisite black silk dress. Her skin is very white, bloodless white, but her skin is crystal clear and she looks very young and full of vitality. She also wore light makeup on her face, and her eyes were slightly painted lavender. Together with her exquisite facial features and slender yet curvy figure, she exuded an evil and seductive aura that would be remembered as soon as she saw it. profound.

On the table in front of the two of them were several parchment scrolls filled with mathematical symbols, and there were ink bottles and quills next to them. However, their minds were obviously not on these things. They were looking at the square outside the window, more accurately. Said, they all looked at the young man standing next to the Baron on the high platform.

"Veronica, are you saying that you were able to beat me these few times just because of that kid's guidance?" The woman in the black dress tilted her petite chin toward the window.

Veronica's eyes were complicated: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is the fact. Irene, that alchemist is different from other ignorant and weak humans."

The woman called Irene smiled softly: "Oh, the talent that can make the beautiful and proud Veronica bow her head and admit it must be extraordinary. Veronica, I am very curious about him now, otherwise, Let’s take him out and study him tonight?”

Veronica shook her head: "No, it's too risky."

Eileen looked surprised: "It's strange, it's really strange, Veronica, you are actually afraid of a mortal?"

Veronica reached out and rubbed her forehead, nodded and admitted: "One day ago, I didn't have such concerns. But now, I am very worried that there will be consequences that will hurt both sides. Yes, his physical strength is not strong, and his reaction is not fast, but He is very thoughtful, and the alchemy weapons he created have the power to destroy everything. One person can't do it well."

"Destroy everything? Are you exaggerating?" Erin smiled.

Veronica shook her head solemnly: "This is absolutely no exaggeration. Although you were not in Sunderland last night, you should have heard the loud noise, right?"

After hearing this, the smile on Erin's face slowly faded: "You mean, he was the one who made that loud noise?"

"Yes." Veronica nodded, and she continued: "You should have also seen the huge pit outside the town of Sunderland. Around the pit, you can also find a large amount of meat, mostly human. A small part is from the werewolf. The werewolf's flesh appears to have maintained a higher degree of integrity, but its internal muscles have been shattered into pieces by an extremely powerful force."

Werewolves have always been known for their physical strength. Now, even the werewolf's body has been completely damaged. If they face that weapon, the result will not be much better.

The smile on Eileen's face has disappeared, and her small and delicate eyebrows are curved into a pair of hooks: "It seems that I really underestimated him. Listen, those idiots outside the window have been saying 'Doomsday Iron Ball'" "Thunder's Hammer" must not be unfounded, right?

Veronica nodded: "The Doomsday Iron Ball was the weapon that made a loud noise last night and ignited a flame as high as a hill. As for Thor's Hammer, did you see what was hanging on the boy's waist?"

Veronica pointed out the window.

"Yeah~ I saw it. It looks strange, but very delicate, a bit like a war hammer, but I can see that this thing is not solid. Isn't this the Thor's hammer?" Eileen asked curiously.

"I don't know if it's Mjolnir. What I know is that this thing can make a dull explosion and a bright fire, just like the dull thunder rolling in the clouds. I also know that just last night, Blackbeard He led a dozen werewolves into the Baron's Mansion through a secret passage and attempted a sneak attack. As a result, they were all killed before they could even break out of the Baron's Mansion. I've seen the corpses of those werewolves. Guess what?"

When she said this, Veronica showed a trace of fear on her face. She clearly remembered that when she went to Rosen's bedroom a few nights ago, the little guy put Thor's hammer on the table, and when he sat down, he fiddled with the thing with his hand.

She didn't care at the time, but now thinking back, she felt a chill in her heart. The other party quietly set up a death trap. As long as she overreacted a little, the other party would definitely activate Thor's hammer. If that was the case, she might not have the chance to sit here today.

"What happened? Was it dismembered? Or was it burned to ashes by lightning?" Irene asked anxiously. It can be seen that she was surprised by the power of Thor's hammer.

"Nothing." Veronica shook her head: "The werewolf's body is basically intact, and there are no signs of burning on the surface. At first glance, except for the blood all over the body, there seems to be no fatal injuries. It was not until I cut open the werewolf's body for inspection that I discovered the horrible truth!"

Erin's eyes widened: "What is the truth?"

"Deep in the werewolf's body, there are steel balls. Look, they are steel balls like this." Veronica took out a few slightly rusty steel balls from her small waist bag and put them on the table.

Erin curiously stretched out her fingers to fiddle with them, but as soon as her fingers touched the steel balls, they seemed to be burned, and she quickly took them back: "There is silver in it!"

Veronica nodded: "Yes, not only silver, but also mercury and lead. Steel ensures its hardness, lead increases its weight, and mercury is the nemesis of werewolves. As for the silver, the silver in it is very rare, and it should be mixed in with the lead."

"How do you know it is mixed in with the lead, and not added by the other party on purpose?" Erin asked.

"Because I gave him lead and mercury in exchange for the secret of natural constants." Veronica covered her forehead with a distressed look, she felt that she had become Rosen's accomplice.

Irene sighed: "Oh~ Veronica, if those werewolves still have souls, they will definitely hate you to death."

Veronica pulled her hair frantically: "I didn't expect this result at all. You know, Irene, these steel balls completely ignore the strong body of the werewolf. They can easily break through the barrier of strong muscles, crack bones, stay in the internal organs, and some even penetrate the werewolf's body. I don't understand at all, how did that kid give the steel balls such great power, and what kind of secrets does his Thor's hammer hide? Does he really control lightning?"

Irene listened carefully to Veronica's words. When she heard the power of the steel balls, she subconsciously clenched her hands tightly together, and her originally pale face became even more bloodless.

After Veronica finished speaking, the two fell into silence. The only movement in the tavern was Diaz's screams coming from the window.

After a long time, Irene turned her head to look at the boy outside the window and whispered: "Veronica, I don't think he is that difficult to deal with. You see, he is now concentrating on the scroll in his hand. As long as there is a crossbow, he can be shot to death from a distance, right?"

Veronica curled her lips and smiled: "You forgot that there is a mutant hunter beside him. The boy may not be able to dodge the crossbow, but the hunter can. She will help the boy block the fatal blow, and then the boy will pick up Thor's hammer. I think this will definitely not be a wonderful result."

"The mutant hunter is nothing great. Their speed is just a little faster than a turtle. Besides, if one crossbow is not enough, I can use two, three, or even bring a team of crossbowmen." Irene sneered.

Veronica disagreed: "Haha, on the surface, your plan may work. But don't forget that your opponent is not stupid. Do you think he will put all his tricks on the table for you to see? Are you sure he doesn't have any hidden trump cards?"

"This..."

Erin was speechless. After a moment of silence, she said: "You are right. This Rosen is indeed a very dangerous person. I will try to stay away from him."

"It's good that you understand. Okay, let's not talk about him. After all, he is just a mortal, no matter how powerful he is. If we hide from him for 50 years, he will die of old age. Come on, I'm very interested in algebra recently, and I think of some interesting problems."

"Well~ It's really interesting." Erin responded absent-mindedly.
