Chapter 032: Senior Alchemist
The gray cave was made into a temporary place to live, filled with various test utensils and special incendiary agents......
An old man sat at the table, took the glassware that had just been placed in the corner, and then slowly touched the smooth glass surface with his delicate and smooth hands, and the brains inside began to shake, producing a trace of greenness.
Airplanes!
A curtain of light appeared in the sky, which was a memory of the hour before death, and it is said that the body remained in the body for an hour after death. Legend has it that some powerful people can use superb means to retain their souls in their bodies and resurrect them, and even exchange their souls for another body. Unfortunately, this method has long since disappeared, and it is now a remarkable means to be able to extract the memories of the deceased from an hour ago.
The old man watched slowly, and saw a lush dark green forest appear inside the light curtain, and in a clearing inside, four knights and the Memory Keeper were attacking another alchemist.
He wasn't too interested in the alchemist, the junior alchemist who had just been promoted was just a baby who had just learned to crawl in his eyes, and after pursing his lips disdainfully, his face suddenly froze, his eyes stared straight ahead, and his breathing began to get heavier and heavier.
He saw that there was a skull totem on the back of the alchemist's hand, and the familiar fluctuations were undoubtedly heretical.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect my luck to be so good, not only to discover new elements at random touches, but even to see a heretical alchemist. Haha, just rip off that piece of skin and add the blood of that body to make four totems. The Skeleton Totem can also be cultivated. The old man's face was flushed, and he couldn't help himself with excitement. He touched his long snow-white hair with both hands. Trying to calm the excitement in the body.
He knew very well that heretical alchemists were terrifying to ordinary people, because they could not control the energy in their bodies. It is easy to cause energy to run wild, but an existence like them will not be afraid at all, and they can even seize this totem and refine it easily, and then they will become even more powerful alchemists.
The old man's name was Celia, and he was a high-level alchemist, and he was also quite a powerful existence among high-level alchemists.
If he gets this totem and can easily reach the top, he may even become the great alchemist, and he may even become a platinum alchemist.
The Platinum Alchemist is at the level of the Great Alchemist, and no one in the Kingdom has been able to reach this stage so far. Therefore, it is not included in the alchemist's power system at all. Many civilians and even alchemists thought that that level was simply nonsense from the ancestors, and only the existence of the top level of alchemists like them knew that it was true. The former ancestor Mei Xue was a platinum alchemist, but she didn't know how she disappeared inexplicably later, as if she didn't exist in the kingdom.
As the top of this power system, they have always felt that these are not the end, as if they can only touch the threshold.
"No hurry, no hurry. Let's see who the guy with the new control element is first, and if it's weaker, it will become a tester in my hand. Seria said with a sneer.
Inside the light curtain. The heretic alchemist fled to the forest path until five black-robed men struck a blow and destroyed the body's owner and the three knights behind it.
When Celia saw this, her brow couldn't help but furrow slightly. His face sank: "Those few words of the black-robed man's methods don't seem to be weak, it is estimated that he has the top level of an intermediate alchemist, and I am a little troublesome for the five of them alone." I can only find that old guy to shoot together. I don't believe that the two high-level alchemists have made a move, and they haven't been dealt with yet. ”
Broken!
The light curtain suddenly resembled a cracked mirror. Cracks opened one after another, and countless star-shattered points of light slowly disappeared. The glassware shattered like the light curtain, emitting a gurgling white liquid and diffusing a pungent smell.
When Seria saw it, it was like a cloud of black smoke that had dissipated and cleared, leaving only a hole in the ruins.
Following.
In the east, wisps of morning glow appeared in the sky, illuminating the gloomy and heavy clouds, and countless scenery and mountains seemed to be coated with a golden coat, which looked beautiful.
The province of Aria is one of the kingdom's major provinces and is known for its rubies because of its specialty. So the towns, the cities here are very rich.
The main city of Aria is the political center of the province, very rich and prosperous, with the largest number of alchemists, merchants, and nobles among the many cities in the province......
The towering bluesteel stone city wall has a round arched red and brown wooden gate in the middle.
On either side stood six heavily armored soldiers dressed in polished and shiny clothes, with strong and powerful figures, and a spear of two meters in their hands was tightly clenched.
They are the guards here, and in terms of strength, they are no longer as strong as the ace legions of ordinary cities, this is the difference between the main city of the province and the ordinary city.
The black-pressed heads crowded into the city, including ordinary merchants, commoners, and some high-spirited petty nobles, all of whom were planning to come to the city of Aria in search of new opportunities. Among them was a gray-haired old man who squinted his eyes and squeezed out a smiling face and strode in.
"Wait!" A thunderous sound exploded, and the soldier standing at the door noticed that the old man did not give money, but swaggered inside.
He had seen a lot of people, but he never thought that an old man would dare to enter the main city without giving money, even if it was the nobles in an ordinary city, they would not dare not pay for the city gate.
The lord of the main city has clearly indicated that whoever is required to pay a fee to enter the city.
At the beginning, his son did not pay the city fee because he relied on the city lord to be his father, and the city lord personally took him to the gate and beat him, and fiercely warned the soldiers guarding the city gate that if anyone dared to let him go in the future, then he would be doomed.
Since the city lord threatened all the civilians and soldiers, they subconsciously regarded this article as a ban, and everyone unanimously abided by this rule and did not dare to speak.
Who would have thought that there was an old man who dared to be in front of them today, go over like this, and ignore them.
Seria looked back. touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile, "What's wrong?" What's the matter with you. My ears are not so deaf as old men, but I can still hear my voices. The next time you call me, just remember to speak normally. ”
The soldier gave Seria a strange look. As if looking at an idiot, I thought to myself, doesn't this guy know how terrible the consequences of not being paid to enter the city gate will be? His old bones, which could fall to the ground at any time, were very likely to die if he was beaten.
"Our lord has an order that whoever enters the city gate must pay a crossing fee. If you don't give it, you will be hung directly at the city gate and beaten severely, and your bones will be beaten a few times, and it is estimated that you will be out of gas. The soldier frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with mockery, though he despised the old man in front of him. Or a kind reminder.
He could guess that the old man was a nobleman, so he naturally felt that he didn't have to give it, but he didn't know that the city lord didn't care.
"Oh, it's that little guy from Nibal." Celia stroked her beard and squinted her eyes and smiled.
"He is so bold that he dares to call the city lord by his name. I think he definitely doesn't want to get out of here alive, hey, I didn't expect to meet this kind of person in broad daylight, it's really unlucky to think about it. ”
"I'm going to watch him get out on his knees from here."
"If only the lord of the city knew. It is estimated that this old man will definitely be sentenced to death. ”
"That's an exaggeration."
"You don't know the character of the city lord, otherwise you wouldn't have spoken like this. I've seen one before, and one of them is his son, who was hanging here and almost killed. I never went out through this gate again, probably because I was scared. ”
"There are still nobles who are so cruel to their sons these days."
"The point is that there is, and there is nothing you can do. So I think this old man is going to be miserable. ”
……
The surrounding civilians whispered one by one, as noisy as a vegetable market. The jumbled sound is covered together. Even the soldiers' original intimidation voices were reduced a little, and they became indistinct.
Celia stood there. Didn't move. He didn't have any silver coins on him, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't give them to the other party.
It is clear that the movement of the city gate can easily attract the attention of the above, especially since no one has dared to enter the city gate without money for a long time.
So, he stood there and smiled.
Celia's goal this time is to find the city lord's father, a high-ranking alchemist who is very powerful. If he joins forces with himself, I believe that he will directly crush those black-robed people.
Sure enough, a few minutes had not passed before a group of people rushed over the street in the distance.
The leader is a man with short blond hair, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He was wearing a heavy golden armor and a red cloak like a flame on his back, which looked very majestic, as if the god of war was alive.
Da ......
After hearing that someone dared to break his rules, Nibal's fiery temper exploded directly, and he immediately led a team of people over to see which nobleman was disobedient to him.
When he saw Celia standing there, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a sense of respect emerged, and he stepped forward and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Uncle Celia, I didn't expect you to be here, it's really an honor to meet you." I'll have a dinner party at the hotel later and hope that Celia can come along. ”
His words immediately stunned the civilians around him, and they looked at the old man in the middle with shocked faces, thinking to themselves who this guy's identity was, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
"Did I hear something wrong, what did the lord of Nibal call this old man just now? Uncle? Oh, my God. ”
"No wonder he was so calm, it turned out to be his uncle. If the uncle really didn't dare to fight, just looking at the city lord's respectful appearance, an ordinary uncle would definitely not be like this, he must be a very powerful existence. ”
"Needless to say."
The civilians also had an unexpectedly heated discussion, but they didn't expect that the city gate, which no one had dared not to pay, would let the owner's uncle break the rules.
When Celia heard what they were saying, she didn't care what she thought, and said with a smile: "Nibal, it's a very important matter for you to go to your father, and you asked him to wait for me in the manor." I'll go look for him right away, and there's still food, so you don't need it for the time being. I reckon your father and I will leave here in the afternoon. ”
"In such a hurry? Isn't it a big deal? Beneath Nibal's seemingly rugged exterior is a delicate heart. Naturally, we can analyze the importance of this matter. It is unimaginable that his father can set off immediately.
"You junior, even if you know about it, it's useless. I'll go to your house later. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll do it." Seeing that Celia did not intend to reply, Nibal did not get angry in the slightest, and hurriedly raised his arms and beckoned the soldiers next to him to guard the city gate, and strode towards his manor.
Seria first returned to a temporary residence here to prepare something.
…………
Half an hour later.
On the lawn of the manor where Nibal lived, there was a set of white stone tables and chairs, and an old man with blond hair sat with a handsome face, and his long hair was casually draped over his shoulders.
He looked to be less than fifty years old, and Nibal, who was also very different from him, was already father and son.
"You said Celia was looking for me?" The blonde man smiled slightly, holding a cup of hot water in one hand.
"Yes, father, Uncle Celia said it was a very important matter, so let me inform you quickly. He'll come and tell you about it in person later. ”
"In that case, then you go down first and take charge of your own business."
"Yes."
Although Nibal was curious about what it was, he saw that his father did not say a word, so he naturally had to leave the place.
A few seconds after he was gone, the blonde man burst into laughter, glanced softly at a gray fountain in front of the lawn, and smiled, "I said you should come out." I've been hiding there for ten minutes. ”
"Hehe, your old guy's perception is really amazing, you actually know that I am here, but I hid for twelve minutes, and you still perceive it a little late."
"It's okay, I said you old fellow, come out quickly. Don't you have something very important to tell me? ”
"Old man, I really have one thing about heretical alchemists."
"Oh?"
The blonde man raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes crossed with a hint of surprise, as if he didn't expect Celia to find himself for this. But just a heretical alchemist, you don't need to look for yourself. After all, like that, he is generally weak, and as a high-level alchemist, it is not very difficult for him to deal with it.
The gray fountain, with a bang, burst into a cloud of mist, and a black shadow appeared inside.
When the mist turned into rain and fell, an old man could be seen standing there.
He's none other than Celia!
Seria grinned and said, "Of course, there's one more thing, and that's that I've discovered new elements. (To be continued......)
