Chapter 145: The Secret Passage

It seems to be touching his own sadness, Gordon didn't want to say much about the specific situation of his betrayal by his son, but he reluctantly told us under my constant questioning that he originally planned to use the death row prisoners bought from the prison at a high price as the first experiment of human alchemy, but the day before the official experiment, Gordon drank a glass of treasured wine with his son and student who wished the experiment a success, and when he woke up, he found himself tied to the test bench, and his student was standing next to him with a cloudy face... …

Gordon, who was tied up, was shocked and angry, loudly reprimanded and asked his son what he wanted to do, but the response was that his son immediately turned his face, accusing Gordon of being ungrateful, tyrannical, and domineering, taking advantage of the death of the old master and the young heir, he dared not take the young master seriously, reprimanded and disciplined him at every turn, and said irresponsible to the master, which is unbearable or unbearable!

In the face of the evil servant Diao slave who tried to seize the wealth and power of the Statham family, ******** paved the way for his own ascendancy, he endured humiliation and worshipped the family slave as a teacher, in order to accumulate strength for Taoguang Yang, paralyze the strong enemy and wait for the opportunity to fight back, and now the opportunity has finally come, the only son of the Statham family, finally found the opportunity to subdue the unscrupulous retainers who were increasingly domineering and ambitious, and snatched back the research results that this dog slave plagiarized from the Statham family's hundred years of accumulation for his own position, it is really happy to think about it, wahahaha......

The new head of the family was speaking impassionedly, but Gordon was not a fool, and as soon as he saw the eyes of his son who had been raised since he was a child, he knew that this was a despicable method used by the Stathams, who could not see that their servant from a civilian background could surpass the declining master of the family, and coveted the honor and reputation that their research results would bring if they succeeded, and their position in the association.

It was only at this time that Gordon was horrified to find that his son had not only inherited his talent for alchemy, but also was even more brilliant in terms of unscrupulous means to achieve success, just like those aristocratic teenagers he met when he was a child, he let his commoner-born self complete the boring and hard alchemy experiments for them, but when he completed his schoolwork, he enjoyed the fruits of victory with peace of mind, and couldn't wait to kick himself aside......

No, it's not the same, he's my son! Gordon tried hard to suppress the ridiculous thoughts in his heart, and without hesitation, he told his son the secret he had hidden in his heart for thirty years on the test bench, at that time, the old man's idea was very simple, as long as he told this secret, then all the contradictions between himself and his son would be solved! As a father, of course, he would not covet the status of his only son's family property, and he used to be arbitrary and arbitrary in the eyes of his son, and even his reprimand for his son was immediately justified -- this is all Lao Tzu educating his son! It is natural and reasonable, and even God Almighty cannot blame him!

As a result, his son's answer made Gordon fall into an ice cave, and he was stunned and broke down, holding his head and shouting, "This is impossible!" and threatened to shut up the old father, but he didn't care about it, and told Gordon that his grandfather had told him about it before he died, but so what, he abandoned his humble and lowly patrilineal surname since he was born, and inherited the noble aristocratic status of the Statham family, and his own father failed to provide him with any help in the most important power and social status for the nobles?Funny!

"Follow you, I can only be a little bit of a small nobleman in my life, who is rich but will never be able to get on the stage, and who is loyal to the family can further gain a higher status and glory," this is the last thing Gordon said to his son before he was stunned by drugs: "Everything about your incompetent father is given to you by our family, and it's time to give it back to us......"

Later that day, bad news came from the alchemy laboratory of the Statham family, the most loyal housekeeper of the family, an old servant who had served the Statham family for thirty years, and Gordon, who was respected by the current head of the Statham family as a teacher, was seriously injured and dying because of an alchemy experiment accident, but the situation created heroes to see the truth in distress, and at the critical moment Gordon's student, the new head of the Statham family, rescued his teacher from the research room, and in order to save the teacher's life, he resolutely opened the forbidden human refining experiment, so a few months later, the good news came that the Alchemist Association of the new generation of genius alchemist Statham, successfully saved the teacher's life and completed the first living alchemy in the history of alchemy, allowing the alchemists to take a big step of historical significance towards the great goal of eternal life......

The scene of whitewashing the truth is naturally to say whatever you want, but the Statham family finally let Gordon survive, because they need this "experimental sample" to stay alive to show their success, so for hundreds of years, Gordon's body has been repaired and replaced by them, and finally became what it is now.

At the same time, Gordon's revenge on his son and his descendants is also long and tragic, his son and children and grandchildren have been racking their brains all their lives to replicate the success of the human alchemy experiment, but they have all failed because they do not understand Gordon's key "preliminary preparations", and at the same time, although they have imposed many restrictions on their own father, grandfather, and ancestors to force Gordon to continue to be loyal to the family members surnamed Statham, they have never been able to learn the secret of the so-called immortality from the old man's mouth......

"Here we are," he said, recounting his painful past, seemed to make Gordon feel much more comfortable, and even his attitude towards talking to us improved.

"Uh......" I asked, looking at the dilapidated abandoned alchemy lab in front of me, in an uncertain tone, "This is not where we want to go, is it?"

"This is directly above the underground warehouse area," Gordon explained. When I was fifty years old, the Alchemist Guild repaired and rebuilt the castle on a large scale, and all the nobles pointed fingers at the design drawings, but no one was willing to be responsible for the tiring on-site construction, and in the end this work was naturally handed over to me, the only one in the association at that time who did not have a noble status, and I took advantage of this opportunity to direct the craftsmen to work in my own laboratory and dig a secret passage leading to the underground in my own laboratory to facilitate my own experiments. ”

"Human body refining! You directly stole the philosopher's stone of the source state to refine the human body!" McCourt, who was present, was a contemporary master, and after seeing the situation here, he immediately discovered the secret of Gordon's success back then.

"I'm just taking a small piece. Gordon is admitting his own experiments in disguise.

"No wonder the human body has never been successful since then," Carl suddenly realized: " The Philosopher's Stone is too important to all alchemists, in order to prevent someone from swallowing it privately, the Philosopher's Stone has been activated into an extremely unstable ionic gaseous state since it was put into the castle and circulated in the castle pipes to ensure that everyone can use it but no one can directly access it, the only time to obtain the Philosopher's Stone without being discovered is to repair the castle on a large scale, everyone has to suspend the alchemy experiment, and when the Philosopher's Stone is restored and stored in the warehouse, there is no Philosopher's Stone in its original state, or there is no secret passage that can bypass surveillance and inspection to enter the warehouse area, the Statham family's human body refining achievement will never succeed。 ”

"That's not the point, is it?" I interjected, "The point is, as long as this secret passage is still usable, we don't need to go down those twists and turns and don't know where to go!"

Seeing that we all had a relieved look of "I can be considered to have survived", Gordon just said softly: "I said I could help." (To be continued.) )
