The study at Ducatt is luxurious to the extreme. It was a spacious, elegant and luxurious room, the walls were decorated with Victorian pattern wallpaper, the window frames were wrapped around sandalwood strips, the dark calfskin sofas on which he sat were embroidered with gold threads, and the walls on both sides were neatly arranged with two large bookshelves, almost as high as the ceiling, and on them were neatly stacked rows of books, most of them were thread-bound books, some of them were made of parchment, which had turned yellow and darkened, and looked like they had been very old.

On the wall behind President Ducatt hangs a huge oil painting, which does not look like an abstract work of any genre, but rather a picture of an academic lecture in a class.

In the center of the figure is a human face, which represents the alchemist. There is also an inverted triangle on the face, and the three corners of the triangle symbol represent the "three elements of alchemy" mentioned earlier: sulfur on the left, mercury on the right, and salt on the bottom. Then there are also three triangles on the outside of the circle, which depict the body, mind, spirit, and the relationship between the moon, the earth, the sun, and the universe.

Inside the big circle, there is a seven-pointed star symbol. There are two symbols painted in each of the seven stars: Saturn/Lead, Jupiter/Tin, Mars/Iron, Sun/Gold, Venus/Copper, Mercury/Mercury, and Moon/Silver. And between each of the seven-pointed stars, there are seven small circles that symbolize the seven processes of alchemy, from the lower left to symbolize death or corruption, clockwise to the lower right of rebirth.

In addition, there are some ancient Latin characters written on the large circle, which means "Go deep into the earth, and by refining, you will find the hidden stone." The stone mentioned here is the philosopher's stone.

Also, by putting the initial letter of each word in this sentence together, it becomes "vitriol", which means mystical fire.

At the bottom of the picture are two human legs, representing the alchemist's legs, one of which stands in the water and the other on land, symbolizing the elements of water and earth, respectively. Looking at the left and right ends of the picture, there is a hand on the left and right, one hand holding a feather and the other hand holding a torch, symbolizing the elements of wind and fire respectively. And above the top of the picture, there is a pair of wings, representing the fifth element, which is a mysterious element, also known as "ether", if divided according to the talent series of the Moriah people, it is the spiritual talent category that Long Yun has.

In the lower left and right corners of the diagram are symbols representing the two poles of duality in alchemy, the red king and the white queen, the red king has a sun on his head and sits on a lion, corresponding to the earth. The white queen has a moon on her head, sitting on a whale, corresponding to the water. In the upper left corner of the picture is a lizard, corresponding to fire. In the upper right corner is an eagle, corresponding to the wind.

The four corners of the picture are symbols symbolizing the four elements, plus the alchemist in the middle, this arrangement is called the "five-point arrangement", which is a common structural symbol in occult and religious religions, such as the position of the Buddha in the middle of the fourfold mandala mandala; Christ is in the middle of a fourfold cross, and in the shape of the cross is a cross that points to the four directions, representing the fourfold material world, and in the center is the fifth element.

Ducat, sitting in a chair with a wide back, saw Finch lead Long Yun into the room, and he "rolled" out of the chair.

That's right, it's "rolling". This word flashed through Long Yun's mind, and only this word could more appropriately describe Ducat's movements and the characteristics of his body shape.

That's right, this guy looks like a ball, round and chunky ball of meat.

"Finch! My old friend! What a rarity! What wind brought you here? Ducatt opened his arms and "rolled" all the way over, and gave Finch a warm hug.

It was a strange hug, not so much a hug as a one-meter-eight-headed Finch who directly picked up Ducater like a child.

When Finch let go of his hand and Ducatt fell back to the ground again, his right hand snapped his fingers in the air, and the servant outside the door soon appeared in the study.

"What are your commands, Elder?" The servant bowed deeply and respectfully awaited the Elder's instructions.

Long Yun noticed that this servant was very tall, and if you just looked at his appearance, he had the courage to be a president, at least much stronger than the fat man Ducat. However, Long Yun didn't understand the tradition of the dwarf, in the dwarf race, most of the nobles and people of noble status are extremely short, which is related to the historical origin of the dwarf.

Short means that the bloodline is closer to one's ancestors; Tall, that is a symbol that the bloodline has been "polluted".

"Me and Dr. Finch and this ......" Ducat's small eyes rolled on Long Yun's body, and he immediately laughed, and his round fat face was full of laugh lines: "And this Long Yun kid, also have a drink." ”

Then, he suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "What do you two drink?" Liquor? Red wine? Or is it the Hedlen mead peculiar to our gnomes? ”

"Hedren mead?" Long Yun heard the name of this wine for the first time.

"That's right, in ancient times, this was the kind of mead that only the warriors of Valhalla could enjoy." Ducat's face was proud, and his face was shining with pride: "Since the Doomsday War, only our dwarf clan can make this kind of wine. ”

I heard that it is a fine wine that can only be tasted by the heroes in the Valhalla in the Agast Divine Domain in the Age of the Gods, of course Long Yun will not let it go, what foreign wine and red wine have already been drunk too much, it is a good idea to drink the wine of the gods.

"Good! I just want a glass of Hedlen. Long Yun didn't think about it, so he said very simply.

"Good! Guts! Ducat, thumbs up, looking slightly surprised, and as if rather happy as if he had done some mischief, went up to the servant and began to tell him to take a drink and order some snacks.

While Ducatt was busy with Zhang Luo, Long Yun suddenly noticed Finch's strange eyes.

"Doctor, am I doing something wrong? You're not looking at the right eye. Long Yun said.

"Actually......" Finch shrugged, "it's not that you've done anything wrong, it's just that you can't get along with yourself." I want to tell you that Hedren, the god sheep that actually produced honey, had been burned to death by the Celestial Fire of Surtr the Destroyer in the Battle of Doom, and now the sheep here of President Ducatt ......"

"Ahem! Isn't it all the same! After ordering the snack, Ducater had already returned to the two of them, and when he heard Finch say this, he couldn't help but interject: "Just like the grafting technique of fruit trees, after a fruit tree grafts, it is still this kind of tree, and it also combines the excellent genes of the new tree, which in the ancient saying of the Chinese, is called blue is better than blue." I think our honey wine is better than the one in the hands of Odin, the father of the gods. ”

"Hey, hey." Finch looked strange and didn't refute, just looked at Long Yun and smiled.

"Two, come and sit." Ducatt rolled back into his seat, and seeing that he was fat, but not sluggish at all, he flicked into his chair and sat down again.
