The "Flying Wendlanders", which is a steam train connecting Camilo, the capital of the Kingdom of Aster, and Ogallon, the capital of the Wendland Federation, does not stop at other platforms on the way, but goes straight from Camilo to Organon, the journey lasts two days and two nights, which can be said to be a quite long journey.

But compared to the past, relying only on horse-drawn carriages to travel this way has been many times faster, and the service of this train is quite high-quality, it has become the choice of many civilians who cannot afford to teleport magic.

Watching the scenery speeding backwards on the luxurious train, enjoying a chef's dinner, and getting a good night's sleep is more comfortable than having to toss and turn on a bumpy stone road for more than a month.

Of course, for Philo, this was not the fundamental purpose of his ride.

Philo is only twenty-five years old this year, handsome, deeply loved by girls, and his family background is quite good, but he is not interested in ordinary girls at all.

Philo is like this because he has a greater purpose in mind.

Golden wine.

Legend has it that the sake brewed by the gods is called golden wine because of its transparent color like gold, and if you drink a cup of it, you can gain eternal life, and it is a fantastic wine of eternal life, and in alchemy, it is one of the three ultimate creations in alchemy, along with the stone of the philosopher, which can turn plants and trees into gold, and the gate of truth, which knows all the laws and knowledge.

Ever since Philo first read the description of the golden wine in his home library ten years ago, he has been working to bring this mysterious creation to life.

On the one hand, the early death of his mother and the indifference of his father made Philo feel the sadness of life, and on the other hand, Philo's superb alchemical attainments also made him full of confidence.

Yet it had been ten years, and in ten years, Philo had never had an experiment ever come close to a real golden wine.

Just when he thought he should have lost his life with the Golden Wine, a mysterious visitor approached him and offered Philo a recipe that sent the aristocratic boy from the northern realm of Astre on a train to the Windland Federation.

"Do you really want to do that?"

Philo thought back to the words on the recipe, and if he were an ordinary person, the first time he saw the description, he would think it was a heretical text of the cultists, and immediately submit it to the Templars or the lords, and the person who spread the recipe would be arrested and burned at the stake.

But Philo's extremely high alchemy talent prevented him from doing so, because he immediately saw that this recipe did have the possibility of implementation, but his past self had not thought of this aspect of operation at all.

If you think about it carefully, maybe the gods of the time also used this cruel method to make golden wine, Philo felt that the mouth was suddenly opened, and immediately decided to put it into practice, and when he came to his senses, he had already arrived on the "Flying Wendlanders".

But when you calm down and think about it, the difficulty of this recipe is also very high, at least with Philo's ability, there is no way to ensure that it will be successful.

"Don't think too much about it, a few of us will be able to succeed. ”

The man sitting across from Philo said, he looked around him, and next to him and Philo, there were two other men, the four of them were dressed in different clothes, but their eyes met often, and it was obvious that they had come together.

These were several like-minded alchemists with Philo, who knew that he could not accomplish the great cause of making golden wine alone, so he contacted the groups he had communicated with before and boarded the train together.

It was Berg who had just spoken, a mature man of forty years old and the leader of the four of them in a sense.

"I can't help but shudder with excitement at the thought of being able to accomplish this great feat. ”

An alchemist said, his expression a little frightened, like one of those addicts who have been stirred up by drugs.

The man's name was Lac, and he was also a nobleman and a companion that Philo didn't like very much.

"Wait until sunset, let's get started. ”

The last man, Dallas, a man with a scar on his face, whispered, like a retired soldier, with a powerful figure and a man who usually didn't like to talk much.

"I understand. ”

Philo promised, knowing that there was no way back now, and that this might be the only chance to see the golden wine with his own eyes, he quietly clenched his fists.

At that moment, the door to the box they were in was slammed open.

"What !?"

Philo remembered that the last person to come in had forgotten to lock the door because he was too excited, and hurriedly stood up and tried to drive the other man out.

But when he saw the man's appearance, Philo froze.

It was a woman of great beauty, with her blonde hair tied up at the back of her head, and her blue eyes as pure as the clearest of lakes, and she was looking at Philo with a delicate face with a soft expression, as if she was also surprised by the unexpected sight she had seen.

The girl wore a beige dress, a navy blue waistcoat, and leather boots, looking like the daughter of a merchant or nobleman who often appeared on this train.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I thought it was my carriage. ”

The other party spoke, and his voice was as pleasant as a wind chime.

"This is Box 302. ”

Philo calmed his mind and said in as suppressed a tone as possible.

"So, it turns out that this sign refers to the box on the left, sorry. ”

The girl lit up the sign of her 301 box and showed a bright smile, which made Philo unconsciously hook the corners of her mouth.

"By the way, is this your first time on this train?"

"Well, that's right. ”

The girl spoke defenselessly at Filo's question, and pointed to her suitcase and the tall servant behind her hidden in the hood.

"I took advantage of the summer vacation to visit my friends, so I thought I must experience this train. ”

"yes, then you have to enjoy the trip. ”

Philo glanced at the servant, probed a little, and got that the man was only at the peak of black iron, and then he also relieved himself and said to the girl.

"Well, I will, sir, if it's such a coincidence, should we have dinner together in the evening? ”

The girl invited, glancing at the other three behind Philo.

Feeling that this girl was really unguarded at all, Philo replied with a smile.

"We haven't decided on the evening yet, so let you know if we have time. ”

"Great, my name is Ai Xue, it's nice to meet you. ”

Hearing Philo's words, the girl showed a happy expression and stretched out her right hand to Philo.
