Led by the fat man, he turned three streets in this not too big royal city, and Mo Xiaobai immediately noticed a house with a very peculiar painting style.

In the middle of a large number of shingle houses, a dome structure of stone columns is squeezed, and there are various intricate carvings on both the walls and stone pillars.

Before seeing this alchemist, Mo Xiaobai had already automatically filled in the other party's series of identities.

Alchemist must be the main profession of the other party.

The artist's breath is blowing in his face, and it has a bit of a philosophical flavor.

can build a house like this in the Western Regions, if you don't understand mathematics and physics, Mo Xiaobai doesn't believe it himself, so maybe he is still a science scholar?

"Is this the resurrection of Aristotle? Or is Archimedes reborn? With a strange thought in his mind, Mo Xiaobai walked up the stone steps and knocked on the door.

Half an hour later, the door creaked open.

What appeared in front of Mo Xiaobai was really a middle-aged man with brown curly hair on his head and an eagle nose and blue eyes.

"Dare to ask, is the gentleman Master Corris?"

"I'm Currys."

The middle-aged Greek man nodded, and after looking at Mo Xiaobai and the perch and dumb behind him, he immediately spoke: "Why are you here again, I said I wouldn't work for you." ”

Kris speaks Chinese, and although the pronunciation is weird, communication is not a problem. Hearing him say this, the fat man and Dumb looked a little embarrassed, while Mo Xiaobai shook his head with a secret smile.

No wonder he brought himself here so diligently, it seems that the fat man still doesn't give up after eating the closed-door soup.

"Mr. Corris misunderstood, I just heard that you live here, and I will come to visit you out of curiosity, and Mr. is not going to invite us in for a meeting?"

"Then come in, but don't touch my things, it's a word of advice to you." Curris nodded, and brought Mo Xiaobai and the three into the house.

The whole hut is divided into two floors, Mo Xiaobai swept it at a glance, and saw bottles and cans stacked everywhere, as well as some simple compasses and stone carvings of different sizes.

Mo Xiaobai didn't have much interest in the mysterious alchemy, and he wanted to know how much metal purification technology Correth had mastered.

So after walking down the stairs to the second floor, Mo Xiaobai glanced at Corris's 'laboratory', and said directly: "I heard my friend say, master, you can make iron stronger, just like this sword, to the standard of high purity?" ”

"Hey~ That's just a toy in my spare time, I'm a great alchemist, and I pursue the secret of eternal life, unlike you who only know how to use some crude weapons to fight and kill all day long."

Corris glanced at the one-handed sword sold to the fat man, then walked to his workbench and picked up a gold coin the size of half a palm: "Look at this, this is my latest achievement, the purity of this gold coin is already perfecting in my eyes, look at the soft luster on it, like the brilliance of eternal life?" ”

"That's what I'm working on, these things that make more sense."

Like many Greek sages, Corris also has a lot of strange thoughts and theories in his head, but this does not affect Mo Xiaobai's appreciation of the Greek alchemist in front of him.

Because the color of the gold coin alone shows that the purity is very high. When Mo Xiaobai took the gold coin in his hand and weighed it slightly, this judgment became clearer.

The gold coins used in the plane are all of 24K purity or higher. The gold coin in front of him was almost the same size and weight as the dimensional gold coin.

At this moment, the timeline in the copy is still 90 AD, and at this time, even in the Great Han Dynasty, it is impossible to smelt gold with a purity of more than 18K.

But in the Western Regions, Corris did it.

"This guy is a talent!"

Almost without much consideration, Mo Xiaobai already had a clear judgment about Corris.

Not to mention other aspects, in terms of metal purification and smelting, he definitely belongs to a genius across time and space. Since this kind of talent appeared in front of him, how could he not bring him back to Big Dream Town.

As for his Greek identity, this is not a problem in Mo Xiaobai's eyes.

In the future plane, which big lord does not have a few foreign talents under his command, not to mention that Corris can still speak Chinese, the most troublesome communication problem has been solved.

It's just that what to do to convince Ke Ruisi, Mo Xiaobai is still pondering.

It's definitely not okay to speak rashly, and you don't have to think about it to know that nine out of ten will be rejected like a fat man. Mo Xiaobai didn't want to be rejected once, and then there would be no chance to take him out of the dungeon.

So Mo Xiaobai was not in a hurry, but listened to this guy with great interest, introducing his strange theory of the relationship between metal and eternity.

The four of them chatted for a full hour, and when Curris looked at the sky outside the window several times in a row, Mo Xiaobai estimated that this guy also had something to do, so he asked to say goodbye immediately.

Curris seemed to really have something to do, Mo Xiaobai said he wanted to leave one second ago, and he got up the next second to see off the guests.

After a few breaths, Mo Xiaobai and the three of them walked out of the Greek hut, and the perch immediately couldn't help but speak: "Dude, what did you mean just now?" Not interested in this guy? ”

"No, I'm interested, he's a talent."

"Are you actually not mentioning a word of recruitment, or were you confused when you listened to the story just now?" The perch pouted depressedly, he thought that Mo Xiaobai could successfully bring Corris back to the plane, but Mo Xiaobai didn't say anything related.

"It's not the time yet, let's go back first."

"Isn't it time?"

"Well, there will be a chance later."

Mo Xiaobai smiled mysteriously, and looked sideways at the hut where the windows had been closed, he already had a rough plan for how to deal with Ke Ruisi.

………

Green Ridge, the top of the snow-capped mountains.

The sound of horses' hooves continued to spread from the mountain road under the snow-capped mountain, and thousands of war horses stepped on the snow, making the originally quiet snowy plateau a little more popular and lively.

A noble frost cavalryman emerged from the foot of the mountain, muttering something as if cursing the damn mountain and the climate.

When this group of Kushan cavalry crossed the Green Ridge and entered the Western Regions, on a hillside high ground two or three miles away from them, two Han cavalry were quietly watching their continuous progress.

"Those foreign cavalry should be the Guishan army that the lord said, I will continue to stare at this batch of soldiers and horses, you hurry back and tell the lord."

"Okay, be careful yourself."

After a brief exchange between the two Han riders, one of them rushed down the mountain and galloped towards the royal city of Shache.

Half a day's return journey passed in a flash, and when the Han cavalry sent back the news that the enemy army had left the Green Ridge, Li Ji immediately ignited the wolf smoke in the beacon tower.

As the billowing wolf smoke rose straight up, the fortress pass dozens of miles away from the royal city also lit a beacon fire.

The war between empires has finally arrived!
