readx;? The little fat man Korevich looked at his father in fear, he did not expect that he would cause such a big disaster. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"But it doesn't matter. The little fat man trembled and tried to comfort his father: "No one knows yet, no one knows ...... yet"
Noticing his father's gaze, the little fat man reacted, and he turned his head to look at Al, looking at the other with an indescribable gaze.
The gaze looked like pleading, with some strange smell of pity and threat.
Father and son waited for Al to speak.
"That book...... Can you show me?"
Al finally spoke slowly.
The fat boss and his son's eyes widened in an instant, they never thought that the other party would ask such a question at this time.
"You...... You want to see it?"
Al nodded.
"Hurry up, bring that relic of your grandfather and show it to this Lord of Ceylon. The fat boss is a long-standing figure, and he immediately reacted and commanded his son.
This kind of thing about the soul forbidden art is quite dangerous and sensitive, because the imperial decree is extremely harsh, and the maximum can even be punished by capital punishment, so normal people are afraid to avoid such things, if Al's reaction is to find an excuse to leave immediately, then the fat boss may really take out a pistol and kill the other party with one shot.
In the fat boss's original expectation, the ideal situation is undoubtedly that the other party is really completely ignorant of this kind of soul thing, rather than pretending to be a performance, or if the other party is a knowledgeable person, he should at least make a poisonous oath that he will never say it, and the fat boss may consider letting him leave.
But the fat boss never imagined that this apprentice from Ceylon would be very interested in this forbidden art about the soul.
Is he serious?
Soon, the little fat man took the book that recorded the forbidden soul art, and Al took it into his hand.
If you look at it from the outside, the book in your hand is a very ordinary old book, the cover is a very common gauze crust paper, no patterns, no words, so it is better to say that it is a book than a notebook.
When I opened the pages, it was indeed a notebook, because the words in it were handwritten, not printed.
Al was quickly drawn to the book's contents.
While it is true that it is a notebook rather than a book, without the illustrations, preface, or even table of contents and index that a book should have, it tells something that El has never heard of.
Soul.
It's something that often comes to people's mouths, but Al notes that all the books seem to have a superficial description of the soul, and people seem to be more than happy to talk about it, but are reluctant to discuss it in depth and study it, as if there were some unspeakable taboo.
The question was repeated in Al's mind, but it was never answered, and eventually turned into a great curiosity.
In the Great Library of Ceylon, Al had also gone out of his way to find relevant books, but he did not find anything, and he did not expect to have an unexpected harvest at the home of the owner of an alchemy material shop.
Unlike those textbooks that like to define,This note doesn't see much definition of the soul,After all, the notes of my own research,The main content is to explore how to use alchemy methods to get the soul,The notes seem to mention a lot of methods and attempts,There are many similar products that have clearly obtained the soul,It seems that the little fat man Kolevich as an amateur、Lack of theory of the wild alchemy apprentice can successfully refine the soul alchemy basically by relying on this book。
"Can you lend me this book?"
Al asked.
"If you want to take it back and look at it, of course not, after all, this is his grandfather's relic. The fat boss showed an embarrassed look on his face, but in fact, he was relieved in his heart: "If you really want to watch it, you can watch it here." ”
"Thank you. ”
After Al thanked him, he stood there and began to read.
For a bookworm of Al's level, such a thing is very natural, but in the eyes of ordinary people like the fat boss, the other party's behavior is simply weird to the extreme.
But it's unbelievable or natural that Al's performance has won the trust of the fat boss, because in his opinion, it is precisely because the other party is such a strange person that he will participate in the soul forbidden art, which seriously violates the laws of the empire, otherwise, if it is a normal person in the general sense, he should make the most normal move when he encounters such a thing, I am afraid that he will find an excuse to leave first, and then think about whether to call the police.
"Well, classmate from Ceylon, sit down first, and I'll prepare you dinner. The fat boss said with some flattery.
Al glanced up at the other.
"It doesn't matter. ”
His gaze fell back to the page.
Who the hell is this guy!
Not only the fat boss, but even his son Korevich oozed fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Finished.
Such an idea suddenly popped up in the heart of the fat boss on the side.
Originally, I wanted to hire a successful magic apprentice to persuade my son not to be addicted to alchemy, why did the other party seem to be more addicted than his son?
"Do you like alchemy too?"
It was Kolevich who spoke, and the little fat man became interested in Al.
"Yes. ”
Al glanced at him.
"It's strange that you, as an apprentice of magic, would be interested in alchemy. ”
"There's nothing strange about it, it seems to me that both magic and alchemy are the study of the knowledge of this world, and I am curious about this whole world, so I naturally like alchemy as well. ”
Al replied bluntly, naturally there was nothing to hide on such a question.
The fat boss sighed as he watched from the sidelines, and finally shook his head and left.
If it was an ordinary book, Al would definitely finish it in one day, but this book's notes on soul alchemy need to be truly alchemy experiments, and Al naturally couldn't do it in another afternoon.
"Can I come back to read a book in the future? Next time, I'll continue to buy things from your shop." ”
Al asked in a somewhat hopeful tone.
The fat boss has already been given a headache, but he can only agree to this situation with a bitter face.
"El, the next time you come over, remember to bring the multi-rate alchemy you mentioned. ”
The little fat man reminded Al that an afternoon of getting along with each other and a shared love of alchemy had made the two of them feel a little bit of a friend. (To be continued.) )
