The Last Alchemist

"Hu~hu~"

The cold wind of early winter was howling in the wilderness. At around 5 p.m., the sun had already dropped below the distant mountains, leaving only a pale red fire in the sky.

The sky is getting dark at a speed visible to the naked eye. Without the warm sunshine, the temperature in the wilderness is also dropping rapidly.

In the cold wind, the coachman John shuddered, whipped his horse whip, and the carriage drove slowly forward. When it reached more than 40 meters in front of the place where the carriage rolled over, the carriage stopped, the carriage opened, and Anne and Rosen came one after another. Jumped off the carriage.

Pulling the car door shut with his backhand, Rosen ordered: "Sister Mary, lock the car door. No matter what happens outside, don't open it!"

This carriage is not only modified with shock absorbers, but the main body of the carriage is also specially made. The innermost layer is made of a 3 mm thick layer of high-strength steel to build the main frame, and the outer layer is wrapped with a layer of fire-resistant hardwood, and three layers are added to the windows. The rubber-coated tempered glass is also designed with a very reliable door lock. As long as the door is closed tightly, the carriage becomes a safe fortress, which can well defend against attacks by lightning, crossbows, and monsters.

Because the carriage is made of steel, it weighs a lot. In order to reduce the burden on the horses, Rosen specially added ball bearings to the wheels to reduce the friction of the axles. At the same time, the two horses pulling the carriage are also very strong, so it is not only easy to pull the carriage but It takes a lot of effort, but it can still run very fast.

In the car, Mary did as she was told and locked the door.

Rosen held the big spiral nozzle in his hand, and together with Annie, walked left and right towards the surviving black-haired girl.

Along the way, the ground was splattered with blood, and from time to time there would be a corpse. The faces of the male corpses were glaring with angry eyes, and they looked ferocious. They were holding weapons tightly in their hands. Their bodies were covered with scars, obviously from an extremely fierce battle. The female corpses were full of fear and had only one fatal wound on their bodies. They were probably killed by the robbers and had basically no resistance during their lifetime.

All three carriages were overturned, and horse corpses were lying beside the carriages. The horses had serious injuries on their front legs, and some even had their legs broken. On the grass in front of a horse corpse, several dirty sticks were thrown. hemp rope.

Anne said softly: "These are trip ropes. The robbers used them to hurt the horse's legs. The horse was frightened and started to run wildly. As a result, it overturned the carriage."

"Yes." Rosen also speculated the same, and he continued: "Judging from the ruts and footprints, the people in this convoy originally wanted to escape. After the carriage overturned, the men in the carriage had to rush out and fight to the death with the robbers. There are about 1 here, 2,321 male corpses, 8 of which were from the caravan, and the other 13 were from bandits. Look, there are a lot of extra footprints here, extending to the depths of the wilderness. All the valuables in the caravan are missing. They must have been killed. The surviving robbers were taken away."

Looking from a distance, many corpses were obscured by carriages. After getting closer, Rosen realized that the scale of the battle was much larger than he expected, and the fighting was more intense.

Annie listened carefully, inhaling gently from time to time, smelling the smell in the air. After a while, she said: "There is nothing unusual around, it is safe."

"Come on, let's go and rescue people."

Soon, the two walked to the surviving young girl.

She was obviously frightened. After seeing the two strangers, she subconsciously shrank back towards the wooden box, her bright black eyes filled with deep fear.

Annie slowly approached and whispered: "Girl, don't be afraid, we are good people and we are here to help you."

The girl still shook her head. She curled up and murmured: "Eyes! Your eyes!"

These words made Annie's heart freeze. Although her unusual golden eyes gave her extraordinary eyesight, they had always been tabooed by ordinary people. Fortunately, something like this had not happened once or twice. She had already Get used to it.

"Rosen, she's afraid of me, come on." Annie stepped back helplessly.

"Okay. You are on alert."

Rosen put away the big spiral spray, took a step forward, and tried to make his voice gentle: "Girl, don't be afraid, we are just travelers passing by. When we see the situation here, come here to help."

As he spoke, Rosen looked at the survivor carefully.

She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a beautiful face, flawless exposed skin, and long black hair. Even though her clothes were torn and her appearance was desolate, her beauty could not be concealed.

The most impressive thing is the other person's eyes, which are clear in black and white, and wet like a deer. People can't help but feel pity when they see it.

Rosen's heart moved slightly when he saw it, and he instinctively felt a desire for protection. However, this emotion caused by the stimulation of the external environment only lasted for a moment and was suppressed by Rosen's reason. He soon felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment.

"Rosen, it's getting dark soon. The corpse smell here is too strong and it can easily attract ghouls. We have to save people quickly!" Annie urged.

Annie's words interrupted Rosen's thoughts. Seeing the wound on the girl's stomach bleeding continuously, he took half a step forward and said, "Girl, let me help you up first."

As he spoke, he reached out to hold the girl's arm.

This time, the opponent did not dodge and was helped up by Rosen obediently.

"How does the wound feel?" Rosen asked.

"It hurts~" The girl's voice was choked with sobs, obviously she was in great pain.

Annie glanced at the location of the wound and breathed a sigh of relief: "You're lucky, the stab wasn't a vital part, so it just hurts."

As she said that, she also walked over and held the girl's arm from the other side: "After returning to the carriage, a doctor will treat you. Don't be afraid, you will get better soon."

"Yeah." The girl responded softly.

Suddenly, she passed by a middle-aged female corpse. The girl's body shook slightly, and tears fell down.

"Who is this?" Rosen asked.

"It's my mother." The girl cried.

"Oh." Rosen suddenly realized, he turned his head and took a closer look at the female corpse, and the feeling of something wrong in his heart became stronger.

After walking a few more steps, he suddenly asked: "Girl, did your father die in the war?"

The girl shook her head: "No, the dead are all my family's servants and guards."

"Oh, that's a blessing." Rosen said, subconsciously, looked back at the face of the female corpse behind him, and then turned his head to look at the girl's cheek, and suddenly asked: "Girl, you should look like your father, right?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded slightly.

"No wonder." Rosen looked suddenly.

After walking a few more steps, Rosen suddenly said to Annie, "Help the girl back to the carriage first, I'll go back and check carefully, I always feel like I missed something."

"Be careful." Annie warned, and then helped the girl to continue walking towards the carriage.

Rosen held the spiral spray gun flat and walked back to the overturned carriage. After reaching the end of the field, he squatted on the ground, first carefully checked the footprints, then checked the male corpses on the ground one by one, and finally, he walked to the female corpse that the girl called her mother, activated the alchemical power, and began to check carefully.

Rosen felt that the most wrong thing was this female corpse.

For some reason, he always felt that the girl lied to him. Perhaps, the girl lied because of some unavoidable hidden circumstances. Anyone with a higher emotional intelligence would not care about this weak girl who suffered misfortune.

But Rosen didn't!

He liked to get to the bottom of things the most. Once there was something he couldn't figure out in his heart, he would trace it all the way until he found out all the truth.

After knowing the truth, he could choose not to tell it or care about it, but he could not leave any details unexplained, otherwise he would not be able to sleep at night.

Just as he was concentrating on checking the body, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the grass by the roadside. The sound was approaching quickly, and he was startled: "What's going on?"

Before he could react, he heard Anne shouting: "Rosen, come back quickly, it's a ghoul!"
