Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Alchemist
"Compared to these, it is the ignorance that cannot see oneself clearly is the most terrible. Cross muttered softly.
"What are you talking about?"
"I mean, since Lady Alyssa doesn't want to give me some information about witches, can you tell me something about alchemists?"
"Lord Cross, it's not that I don't want to, it's that there really aren't witches near Creek Town. Alyssa was also quite puzzled, she didn't understand why Cross was obsessed with witches, but fortunately, the conversation began to turn to alchemists, and she was also slightly relieved, "However, there are indeed a few people in our town who call themselves alchemists. ”
"Is there really an alchemist here?"
"I don't know if they're real alchemists, it's just, Lord Cross, even if they're real alchemists, this profession is a lie, do you really believe that?"
"I'm just interested in that. ”
Alyssa pursed her lips in frustration, "Then I'll send someone to call them over." ”
"No, if I could, I would like Lord Alyssa to hand over those alchemists to me. ”
"Your Excellency, are you going to bring them to Copperhill?" Alyssa's slightly surprised expression was filled with joy, she had long hoped that she could get rid of the instability in these towns. In Alyssa's opinion, the things that these so-called alchemists study are too superficial and always cause some accidents, but her kindness makes her not make the move to drive these people away.
"Yes, I'm going to take them to Copperhill. ”
"Your Excellency, you have to think carefully that these people will cause explosions from time to time. ”
Cross smiled, "Isn't this the charm of alchemy?" ”
Alyssa continued to play with her hair, "I can grant you this request, but it depends on whether they are willing to leave with you. ”
"Thank you, Alyssa, as long as you take me to meet them, I'll take care of the rest. ”
"Your Excellency, do you have any other requests?"
Cross shook his head, and then said, "The covenant between us will be in effect from now on, and we will be each other's most loyal allies,"
"I'd love to be your ally, but the covenant between us shouldn't leave some proof. ”
Cross took an arrow from his quiver and broke it in two, giving half of it to Alyssa and half for himself.
"Hahaha, you're such an interesting person, Lord Cross Klein. If Ximu Town is unfortunately captured, I will take the Broken Arrow to Tongshan Town to find you, and don't forget the shape of the Broken Arrow when the time comes. ”
"Lady Alyssa is beautiful and I will never forget it. ”
Alyssa sighed lightly, "Then let's go, I'll take you to meet them." ”
After handing Lancelot over to the maid, Alyssa and Cross went to the alchemist's residence.
"Your Excellency, it's the house in front of you. ”
"Aren't you going over?"
"I don't like the taste there. ”
Cross came to the front of the house and knocked lightly, and the door opened, "Ximu Town is really a simple people, and the residents here don't even lock the door. ”
When Cross sighed, an old voice came from inside the room, "Who is it?"
Immediately afterward, an unkempt old man stepped out of the dimly lit house.
"I'm Cross Klein. ”
"Cross Crane?" the old man leaned over with his neck tilted, and a sour smell came over his face. Cross complained in his heart, this old man has not taken a bath for a long time...... "Wow! It turns out that he is the eldest son of Earl Thor Crane, and I have recently made a new discovery that I would like to tell the Earl, and I hope you can tell it to your father." Please follow me. ”
"My father is dead, and I don't have time to see your new discoveries right now, so I want you to come with me to Copperhill. ”
"Copperhill? ”
"You don't have to know that much, you just need to know that there, you can still study your alchemy. ”
The old man waved his hand, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm used to staying here." ”
Seeing the old man's attitude, Cross's face changed suddenly, his eyes instantly exuded a sharp brilliance, he pulled out his long sword and put it on the old man's neck, this action was skillfully completed in one go, as if there had been thousands of drills. When the old man saw this, his legs trembled with fright.
"I'll give you half an hour to pack up, pack up, and wait for me in front of the town lord's residence. Cross ordered.
"Give me only half an hour, and I'm sure I won't be able to fill all my equipment. ”
"I didn't ask you to pack any equipment, I gave you half an hour to let you take a good shower. ”
“......”
"If you don't want to die, go now. With that, Cross turned to leave.
......
"Your Excellency, I didn't expect your temper to be quite short-tempered. ”
"It really stinks. ”
"Hahaha, that's the reason. ”
"Alyssa, you hid so far on purpose. ”
"yes, I said it a long time ago, it smells so bad. ”
"No wonder there was no one around that house. The next alchemist won't be that stinky, right?"
"You'll find out when you go. By the way, the next one is the last one. ”
"I thought there were a lot of alchemists in Creekwood?"
"How can there be so many crazy people. ”
"Will you still hide in the distance?"
"yes. ”
