The Last Alchemist

"I think Nerogard City is safe enough. My escort mission has been completed. It's time to leave." Anne repeated her words again.

It couldn't be clearer now. Rosen rubbed his forehead vigorously with his fingers. He felt that this happened very suddenly and he was not mentally prepared at all.

Little Alice said: "Sister, are you really going to leave?"

Anne reached out and touched Alice's hair gently, and nodded gently: "Little guy, my sister is a stalker. Now that she has completed her mission, she will naturally leave."

"But I can't bear to leave you." Little Alice burst into tears and hugged Annie's arm tightly without letting go.

Sister Mary also advised: "Girl, you were fine just now, why did you leave just now? Stay, we can't bear to leave you."

Anne was determined. She shook her head and forced a smile: "No, I am a hunter, and my duty is to hunt monsters. I swore an oath to the gods."

She patted Alice's back gently again: "Little one, I feel relieved that you and Rosen are together. I will come to see you often in the future."

She gently broke away from Little Alice's arm, stretched out her hand to open the carriage door, and finally smiled at Rosen: "Then I'll leave."

After saying that, without waiting for Rosen to respond, she turned around, jumped out of the carriage, and then slammed the door shut.

The coachman John was startled by the movement behind him. He turned around and saw Anne striding away. He immediately shouted: "Miss Anne, where are you going?"

Anne didn't turn around, raised her hand and waved: "Goodbye, John, and good luck to you."

In the carriage, Rosen was still in a daze. He was caught off guard by the sudden change. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. But one thing he was sure of was that as soon as Anne left, he felt empty in his heart, as if someone had dug out a large piece of flesh and blood, which was particularly uncomfortable.

The image of meeting Annie flashed through his mind.

Under the moonlit night, the angry voice that suddenly appeared when he was desperate, this girl who knew she was going to die but rushed to save him at all costs, in his eyes, was like an angel sent by God to save him.

After that, they worked together to kill the vampire Viken in the cave, and spent nearly a month together in Sunderland.

All that flashed in his mind were Annies, Annies of various appearances, including embarrassed ones, crazy ones, smiling ones, bitter ones, ready to die resolutely, and coquettish ones, and each one was extremely vivid and clear. , as if meeting for the first time.

'Now that she is gone, she will wander around again, and if she is not careful, she will die in the hands of a monster, and then be torn into pieces by the monster, and disappear in obscurity. ’

'Anne is used to using muskets, but muskets require bullets and must be carefully maintained. She didn't take the musket with her at all. Is she planning to continue using swords to deal with monsters? ’

'Anne has always been lonely and I was her only friend. After leaving, she would be alone again, with no one to talk to, and she would be ridiculed. Why did such a lovely girl have to go through such suffering? ’

‘Should I call her back? But Annie is determined and can hardly change her decision. She said she swore to hunt down monsters for the rest of her life. Can I really stop her? ’

Rosen's expression was dull. On weekdays, his reactions were extremely quick and he was very resourceful, but now his mind was as if it was mush, and he was in a state of despair.

Suddenly, Veronica's sigh came to her ears: "Rosen, don't be stunned, go and chase her back."

"Catch him back? Can I?" Rosen asked blankly.

"You'll know if you try it." Veronica smiled faintly, and when she saw Rosen's expression changed, she added: "Believe me, if you don't go now, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Rosen was shocked, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to open the carriage door, jumped out of the carriage, and strode towards Annie.

Perhaps because she heard Rosen's footsteps, Annie's footsteps suddenly accelerated. She was clearly not far ahead, but Rosen tried his best but couldn't catch up with her.

After chasing for five or six minutes, Annie suddenly turned into a nearby alley. When Rosen chased her to the entrance of the alley, Annie was no longer in the alley.

"Annie!"

"Annie!"

Rosen shouted into the alley, but received no response except for a burst of searching looks from passers-by in the alley.

He was filled with disappointment, but he did not give up. Panting, he trotted into the alley and searched aimlessly in the remote alleys. He searched all the alleys in the alleys, but he did not see Annie. figure.

‘Hoo~~~ho~~~’

Rosen was panting heavily, sweat dripping down his face. His strength was almost exhausted, and he had to lean against the cold stone wall and sit blankly on the dirt to rest.

Obviously there was still a lot of people outside the alley, and there were still people walking around from time to time, but at this moment, Rosen felt very lonely.

Yes, he has been in the different world for more than a month and has met many people.

He has deep or shallow friendships with Sister Mary, Little Alice, Veronica, and even the coachman John and the Baron of Sunderland, but they are all far behind this mutant who looks like Wonder Woman. Female Stalker.

'Anne's body is several times stronger than mine. If she really avoids me, there is no way I can find her again. She never shows up. It seems that she really plans to leave. Hey~~~'

In this other world, he can easily gain money, fame, and status by using the knowledge and alchemy talents he brought from the earth, but he may never meet a girl who can do everything to save him when he is desperate. .

Sitting blankly against the wall, his mind was empty and his body seemed to become cold and weak. He didn't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt that the light around him had dimmed a little. He instinctively looked up and saw three thin men in tattered clothes surrounding him.

"Hehe~ Come and see, guys, a gentleman who is supposed to live in the garden area in the west of the city is sitting in the mud like a beggar!"

"Hmm~ Look at the fabrics on his body. They are all fine cotton. Look at this waistcoat. It's also fine bearskin. It must be worth a lot of money."

"Man, be smart and take out all the valuable things you have. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

No matter how beautiful the city is, there are always dark places.

Rosen knew that he had met a gangster in the city. Judging from the appearance of the other party, if he did not resist, he would be severely beaten and everything on him would be robbed, even his clothes. Can't keep it.

Under normal circumstances, Rosen would activate the power of alchemy immediately and use the air cannon to teach these guys a lesson. But now, he couldn't get enough energy. After listening to the words of these ruffians, he was too lazy to move. , still sitting on the ground, eyes blank, as if he didn't hear the other party's words at all.

"Oh, you deserve a beating!"

A gangster walked up, raised his fist and was about to hit Rosen in the face.

There will be another update later
