The Last Alchemist

"Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

After saying that, Rosen turned to look at the situation outside the car, then turned to Veronica and said: "The next one is our carriage. Although our carriage has few decorations, it uses excellent materials. If you check If the soldiers know what they are doing, they will be very polite to us. When the time comes, you can act like a noble lady and try not to make any noise. As long as you can suppress them, our weapons may be able to pass."

Seeing that Rosen refused to speak, Veronica could only suppress the doubts in her heart. She calmed down and said: "Pretending to be a noble? No need to pretend. 150 years ago, I was the Countess of the Parason Empire."

Rosen was stunned and took a serious look at Veronica. This mysterious girl seemed to have a lot of experience in the past.

Veronica saw the meaning in Rosen's eyes and smiled: "If you lived for more than 300 years, you would have experienced a lot of things, wouldn't you?"

"Indeed." Rosen nodded in agreement. He did not go into further details and continued: "Since you were once a count, it would be great. As for me, I am your butler, responsible for communicating with outsiders for you."

"Okay, my butler."

After discussing it, the group waited patiently.

About 10 minutes later, it was Rosen's carriage's turn. The soldier wearing fish-scale steel armor came over, gently tapped the glass window of the carriage, and said: "Sir, please cooperate with us to check to avoid unnecessary births." Misunderstand."

The officer guarding the bridge came over to inspect it in person, and his tone was very polite. This was a treatment that had not been given to the previous carriages. It seemed that the other party was very knowledgeable.

Rosen was determined and said secretly: ‘It’s done. ’

He opened the car window next to him a crack and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, if you need us to cooperate, just tell us."

The soldier nodded and waved to a man dressed as a secretary next to him: "Come here and help this person."

Rosen immediately said: "Madam, Madam Margaret, our lady comes from a noble family. You know, the south is really chaotic. Madam came to Nerogard City to relax this time."

As he spoke, Rosen moved away slightly, slightly revealing the side of Veronica's face.

Veronica's appearance was radiant, and when she was silent, her temperament was arrogant. As long as you see her appearance, you will never doubt her noble origin.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously clenched his fist and hammered his chest. Veronica gave a formal military salute: "Oh~ Dear Mrs. Margaret, it's an honor to meet you."

Veronica nodded slightly and responded coldly: "Hmm~ It seems that the warriors of Nerogard are very polite."

In a simple word, the aura of an arrogant, reserved, and superior person comes across. At first glance, he is from a noble family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The armored warrior looked uneasy and did not dare to look directly at Veronica. Without saying a word, the back that was straight just now actually bent subconsciously.

Although legally speaking, the armored warrior is not loyal to Veronica, in this world, the concept of hierarchy has been deeply rooted in the bones, and the nobles have a natural suppression of the common people.

When Rosen saw this situation, he immediately said: "Soldier, my wife doesn't like waiting. Please complete the inspection as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay."

The steel-armored warrior nodded repeatedly, then turned around and shouted sternly at the clerk behind him: "Puka, why are you standing there in a daze? Come quickly and help Madam calculate the taxes you need to pay when entering the city!"

"Come on, come on." The clerk ran over and peeked into the window. He was also dazzled by Veronica's appearance, and he was also stunned on the spot.

"You piece of shit!" The armored soldier was furious and kicked the clerk's butt hard.

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, beautiful lady, I'm rude." The clerk nodded and bowed, his attitude was extremely humble. He nodded quickly, walked around the carriage again, and then began to count on the papyrus. After calculating for about two minutes, he smiled and said: "Madam, you should pay 760 silver francs."

This was 50 francs more expensive than what Rosen had calculated. As soon as Anne heard this, a look of anger appeared on her face. Just as she was about to explode, Rosen secretly stretched out his hand to suppress it.

Rosen smiled and said: "760 rands, right? Here, here is 800 rands. The extra money is for you as a reward from my wife."

The clerk's face immediately burst into laughter: "Hey~ Okay! Thank you, madam."

The steel-armored warrior on the side was immediately envious, and there was a trace of obvious greed in his eyes as he looked at the carriage. Rosen had been closely observing his reaction. Seeing his attitude, he smiled inwardly: 'Not bad, the fish is hooked. ’

Before, seeing the seriousness with which these soldiers inspected the carriage, he really thought there was no chance, but now it seems that the world is as dark as crows.

The steel-armored warrior took a few steps closer to the carriage, saluted respectfully again, and then said: "Madam, the city hall has regulations that you must not bring weapons into the city. Although you did not escort the knight, in order to ensure safety, we still have to check the carriage Items to carry.”

Rosen's face turned cold and he said angrily: "No, the carriage is all Madam's personal belongings. How can you inspect it at will?"

The armored warrior spread his hands helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about the decree just issued by the city hall. Some time ago, due to lax investigation, a group of witch hunters sneaked into the city, and many people died in the city. There are quite a few magicians.”

"Oh, I see." Rosen had an expression of 'I understand you' on his face. After a pause, he said: "Sir, I can tell you clearly that there are absolutely no weapons such as swords, crossbows or guns in the car. Instead, there are several crafts that look like weapons. How about you take a look?"

The armored warrior was stunned: "Crafts? Then bring them to me?"

Rosen handed over the spiral spray gun: "This is a war hammer. It looks a bit strange, but my wife likes these weird things. She said that this makes it look artistic."

The armored warrior naturally had not seen the spiral spray gun. He turned the weapon over and over and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't figure it out. Hearing Rosen say it was a war hammer, he preconceived that this thing was a war hammer, but for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Is this really a craft?" He really didn't believe it.

Rosen was a little nervous, but his expression remained calm: "Of course. Otherwise, who would use expensive wrought iron to make such a flashy thing?"

"Well, you are right. The appearance is indeed exaggerated, but the weight is too light, and the inside is still hollow. It is just a superficial work."

Rosen agreed again and again: "Yes, yes, it is not only flashy in appearance, but also has a bluffing name, called Thor's Hammer."

The armored warrior sneered: "Thor's Hammer? Tsk~ Those artists just like to brag. If this thing is Thor's Hammer, then my steel sword will become the sword of the Creator?"

Rosen chuckled: "It's a handicraft, it's just a fake. Come and see, who is really going to hit someone with this thing?"

"Hmm~~" The steel-armored warrior's expression was serious, and he said, "However, although it is a work of art, it is still a war hammer, and it is made of iron. In an emergency, it can also be used as a weapon."

As soon as he saw his appearance, Rosen knew what he wanted to do. He turned his hand quietly, and a bulging purse appeared: "Sir, we are indeed in the wrong in this matter, but our wife really loves these works of art. How about you give me a favor?"

When the steel-armored warrior saw the purse, he was shocked. He estimated the size of the purse and knew that it contained at least 100 silver rondes, which was his income for most of half a year!

He looked around quickly and found that no one noticed Rosen's little movements in the carriage. The desire in his heart suddenly expanded like a balloon, swallowing up his reason.

Although he is the leader of the sentry and wears expensive fish-scale steel armor, he is very, very short of money. He is almost 30 years old, but still lives in the slums in the east of Nirogard City. He has no money to marry, and even the fine steel sword in his hand is bought on credit. If he hadn't been promoted to commander last month, the shrewd dwarf in the blacksmith shop would never agree to buy on credit.

However, the sentry commander can only receive 15 silver ronds from the city hall every month, which is not enough to spend!

Yes, the military regulations of Nirogard City are very strict, and those magicians have very sharp eyes, but now the magicians are not here, and he is really short of money.

'It's just a work of art. Since the other party is willing to pay, it's no big deal if I let it go. It's a pity if I don't get such a large sum of money! '

After a quick thought, he handed the spiral spray gun back to Rosen in the carriage.

Rosen took the weapon and stuffed the purse over.

The armored warrior reached out to take the purse, but somehow his hand shook and the purse fell.

Rosen looked up and saw the armored warrior's eyes flickering, with a hint of panic in his expression. He thought: "It seems that the law of Nirogard is indeed very strict. This guy should be taking bribes for the first time, so he is very unfamiliar with it."

He quietly picked up the purse and handed it over again.

The armored warrior reached out to grab it, but Rosen dodged it.

"You" The armored warrior was stunned.

Rosen shook his head slightly, dodged the soldier's hand, stuffed the purse into the other's sleeve, patted it, smoothed the wrinkles on the sleeve, and then shouted: "Soldier, be careful, don't break the lady's things!"

The armored soldier felt his heart pounding. He naturally knew that Rosen was helping him cover up, and immediately took advantage of the situation and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't hold it firmly."

After that, he smiled again and said: "I can let you bring these crafts into the city, but I have to look at all the crafts."

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Of course."

He also handed over Anne's Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Destroying muskets, of course, both guns were unloaded.

The armored warrior had calmed down. He took a casual look, played with it in his hand, and finally pointed at the trigger and said, "What is this thing for?"

Rosen smiled and said, "These are all handicrafts. Handicrafts should be hung on the wall. This round hole is naturally used to thread the rope, and the button you are touching now is a buckle for fixing the knot."

"Hanging a war hammer on the wall? Madam has a unique taste."

He patted the Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Destroying muskets again, and said loudly to the soldiers around him, "Look, is there anything wrong with this thing?"

The soldiers all understood that this strange thing was a decorative handicraft. Since the commander intended to let it go, how could they refuse the commander's face? When the armored warrior asked, they all shook their heads.

The armored warrior handed the two muskets back to Rosen: "Very good, I have checked them, they are all handicrafts that pose no threat, I will give them back to you."

Rosen smiled and said: "Thank you very much. Warrior, can I know your name?"

"My name?" The armored warrior was stunned.

"My wife likes to collect handicrafts very much, and she may bring more handicrafts in the future, but as you know, the current situation is very inconvenient. If you can help a little, we will certainly not hesitate to pay you." Rosen's voice was very low. It was very low, ensuring that only the armored warriors could hear it.

He did this because he wanted to cultivate some informants in Nirogard City. On the one hand, it would provide convenience for him to enter and exit the bridge in the future. On the other hand, he could also know some important information about Nirogard Academy as soon as possible. Of course, whether it works or not depends on the other party’s wishes.

The armored warrior gently touched the wallet in his sleeve, and his heart suddenly moved. He immediately said: "My name is Fellman, captain of the bridge guard. If you need help, madam, just ask me."

"Fellman, I remember it, thank you very much," Rosen said seriously.

"Well, I have to keep checking."

The steel-armored warrior Fellman pretended to circle around the carriage. From time to time, he gently patted the suitcases behind the carriage and looked at them again. From a distance, it looked like he was checking the suitcase.

After going around in a circle like this, he took a step back, waved his hand, and shouted: "This carriage is fine, we can enter the city."

The soldiers at the checkpoint moved the wooden fence, the coachman John cracked his whip, and the carriage creaked onto the bridge.

After crossing the bridge, Rosen let out a long sigh: "We finally entered the city."

Anne was not very happy: "I came in, but it cost 1,000 silver francs. Our money can't afford such a spend."

Rosen didn't care, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yin Langte, the flowers will come again, don't worry."

But Veronica was still thinking about the bomb's turning point. Seeing that she had successfully broken through, she immediately said: "Can you explain it now?"

"certainly."

He took out a piece of parchment, drew a ball on it, wrote a few lines of strange formulas, and then said with a smile: "The secret lies in the rotation of the iron ball."

In fact, this is the Bernoulli effect. The reason why the banana ball in football and the rotating ball in table tennis can make unusual arcs is the same principle.

Veronica glanced at the formula, and her eyes became blank. After a long time, she shook her head: "I can't understand."

Little Alice also looked at it with dumb eyes: "Brother, what does this mean?"

Anne was also blinded and completely confused.

Rosen laughed and began to explain the aerodynamics in detail.

Just as Rosen was explaining to everyone the mystery of the bomb's mid-air turn, outside the walls of Nirogard Academy, more than a dozen magicians were surrounding the explosion site, observing the explosion traces and discussing frequently, trying to find the initiator of all this.
