“...... Be sensible," Thor arched her lightly over his shoulder, apparently Cletti waiting for him to coax her. But it is impossible to coax, it is impossible to coax in this life, Saul struggled in his heart.

Chletty turned her head with a frosty face.

"Most people always want to make the world more rational, people calculate the passage of time, study the alternation of seasons and the habits of plants, observe the weather, but in reality most of our lives are irrational. ”

"Like now, I'm angry, angry, irrational. ”

"......" impression of Cletti has always been like this, changeable and vivid, and sometimes it gives Saul a headache. For such a girl, it would be an insult to only talk about her appearance and beauty, but the key is her intelligence, which is also the part that Saul appreciates the most.

"What's the biggest illusion in life?" asked Saul.

"Innocent, what's the most beautiful music in the world?" asked Chlettie.

"Silence. ”

After Saul finished answering, the two looked up at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

"Then I don't know what can be done to please Her Majesty? Thor smiled inwardly.

Seeing that Thor was soft, Chletty swept away the cold arrogance on her face, and changed back to her previous appearance, she pointed to the bruises in the corners of her eyes, and approached Thor to show him.

"Aren't you distressed that I'm like this?" said Chlettie, with a pitiful expression.

"I feel distressed~, who said I don't feel distressed, I'm not a stone, in fact, my heart has already cracked a few times. In anticipation of such a situation, I prepared a small snack in the hope of soothing the Queen's wounded heart. ”

As he spoke, Thor took out a box from his coat and spread it out on the palm of his hand to open it, and there were small pieces of carefully processed meat inside, sprinkled with Saul's special spices, which emitted a refreshing fragrance in the air.

"Well, for your sake of faithfulness, this queen will reluctantly help you taste it. Chretty gracefully stretched out her slender fingertips, slowly picked up a piece from the box, gently put it in her mouth, and chewed it a few times.

"Well, it's delicious!" Chletty's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she looked happy and enjoyable.

Thor looked at her silently, she was always so kind, even in such small details. As for his cooking, Saul knew very well that the food could barely be eaten, but that was when it was just baked.

This journey to Xinzhen has not deteriorated thanks to the low temperature and its own preservation, but it is already cold at this time. Once the food loses its suitable temperature, the taste will be greatly reduced, and it is even possible to chew it, but she can be happy with it.

How can I hug her kindness in return?

"I can't believe you, as an appraiser, don't even know what this is. Thor chuckled.

"I'm only an appraiser apprentice, and that's not what an appraiser should know, right?" Chletty gave Thor a blank look, trying to defend her realm.

"It's skull rat meat. Saul replied.

Chreti's brow jumped, and she quickly returned to her composure.

"Really, it's the head rat I raised, strictly speaking, it's a type of rat, and you can treat it as a mouse. Thor looked at Chryti and emphasized again.

There was a hint of suspicion in Kretti's eyes, and she instantly saw through Saul's little trick.

"What if it's rat meat, it's delicious, I envy you to eat it so often. Cretti looked unconcerned, and picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.

Thor sighed in his heart.

"Yes, this meat is not bad. But I've also suffered, and I probably didn't tell you, that during the Famine in Grey Curtain before, I had eaten many strange bugs, some fluffy soft arthropods stuffed in my mouth and chewed over and over again. ”

Chletty's chewing slowed down, but she raised an eyebrow at Thor and motioned for him to let him go.

"Another time, I went around to the beach outside the south gate of Grey Curtain to see the seascape, and found a chicken floating on the sea, its feathers plucked and bare. I was so happy that I didn't expect to come across another game meal, so I wanted to bring the chicken ashore and roast it. ”

"I didn't expect it to rot because it had been soaked in water for too long. When I reached out, I grabbed nothing, only a sticky, rotting fragment. ”

Chletty's mouth stopped chewing, and her expression finally changed.

"Another time, I found a cat in the grass who was looking at me in the dark with bright eyes. I was scared twice and found that I couldn't get away, so I was curious and stepped forward to stroke its head. ”

"It's a pity that it's been dead for a long time, and the inside of its body has been hollowed out by bugs. It wasn't until I realized that it didn't feel right and lifted its whole shell, and a dense number of small flies poured out of the shell and flew me in the face, which was really unlucky. ”

Hearing this, Clette was still holding on on to it, but her face was already green.

"You'd better keep your mouth shut, before I bite you to death. Chretty let out a trembling sound, suppressing the nausea of tumbling, and hysterically threw herself into Saul's arms, biting him on the shoulder.

Saul knew that if he dared to add another sentence of 'don't vomit in my arms', he would definitely be vomited by Cletti. So he stopped in moderation, just hugged her to prevent her from falling off the tree, and a victorious expression crossed his face.

In the past, when they were grabbing meat with Shogues, they had told each other many more inhuman stories, but each time it ended up being Saul's feast. Even a thick-skinned dog like Shugues is going to be defeated, not to mention Kretti, who is super weak in resistance.

In the end, the two hugged each other, head against head, and wiped out a box of skull rat meat.

“...... I'm sorry to eat your birthday. Chletty snatched Thor's water bladder and gulped, then said that.

"How do you know?" Sol turned his head to look at her in shock, the box of skull rat meat was indeed Sol had prepared for himself, as he was thinking that he should be on his way to Newtown on his birthday.

It's a pity that the journey was in a hurry and I didn't find any opportunity to eat and mood, so I stayed.

"Hey~ It's just the first day of winter, and this queen has her own informant. Chletty was proud.

Raising her hand to pull Saul's face over, Cletti kissed him on the forehead.

"Happy birthday!" Chletty said softly.

"Thank you for following my dusty life. Thor sighed.

"Do you want to know my birthday in return?" asked Chretty.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested. ”

"Why?"

"It's not easy for the poor! Wouldn't it be nice to save a birthday present? I've been learning to live lately!" Thor turned his head to look at the lights of the new town, as steady as an old dog.

"You ...... I don't care, my birthday is in the fall, anyway, you've heard it. I hope you make a rational choice between gifts and life, if the time comes, if this queen doesn't see a gift that will make a difference...... Hmph!"

When enough of the fuss was enough, Cletti leaned against Thor and asked:

"What do you need me to do for you?"

"I'm in a strange secret ......," Thor said as he pulled out the ring he had gotten from his coat, but before he could finish speaking, Cletti snatched it up.

He didn't notice how special the ring was, but instinctively thought that it might be something extraordinary to appear in that kind of secret realm, and since Chletty was an appraiser, maybe he would know a little.

"Ahh Chletty's eyes lit up with emotion.

"You...... Speaking human language, oh, I mean say something I can understand. ”

Thor scratched her head, she should know something about Chletty's appearance, but the string of words that came out of her mouth that sounded like both names and building names confused Thor to hear it.

Slender fingertips carefully stroking each inscription on the inner ring of the ring, Creety took a deep breath to firm her judgment, and then raised her hand and patted Thor's shoulder lightly.

"You've made a fortune, oh no, it's worth no more. Strictly speaking, even now, this is the top five secret treasures on the mainland. ”

"Fortune Treasure is not going to be, the gold content of this ring is estimated to be enough to make a pair of earrings after melting it, or it will be used as your birthday present?" said Saul with a suspicious expression.

Chletty raised her hand to her forehead, speechless.

"Fool, Florence was a famous alchemist in the Old Kingdom, he once opened the Philosopher's Stone and gained eternal life, and later, after the death of his beloved, he personally created this ring for his beloved wife to express his sorrows. ”

"Oh, alchemy, I know, it's the interaction of some metal and liquid...... or something," Thor recalled uncertainly.

"That's not alchemy! It's just a tampering by ignorant people later, wanting to become the mainstream of this field and have more say in the field. They believe that the world is in matter, and that matter reacts with each other, whether it is additive, subtracted, or merged, and the final total amount is constant. ”

But they can't be said to be wrong, because they have their own system and have many credible doctrines, but at best they can only be regarded as a new discipline, a new field. ”

"True alchemy actually existed in the Old Kingdom calendar and even earlier, but it has been blurred to this day, coupled with the withering of talents and the loss of many recipes, that other disciplines have taken advantage of it. ”

"The core formula of ancient alchemy is very simple, in fact, the unknown plus the unknown equals the unknown, for example, I know that the blood of the three-tailed bat plus the tail of the lizard is equal to the cheetah transformation scroll, which is the most elementary formula in alchemy. ”

"It's a pity that I've never seen or heard of a three-tailed bat, so I've never had a chance to verify it. The ultimate goal of alchemy is the Philosopher's Stone, which is the ultimate ideal of all genuine alchemists. ”

Chletty's explanation sparked Saul's intense interest.

"What is the Philosopher's Stone?" Thor asked eagerly.

"There have been three philosopher's stones in the history of this continent. ”

"All known is that the great alchemist Frenza gained immortality from it, and the Old Kingdom hero Volred was given a chance to turn back time and save his dead beloved, while the remaining one was kept a secret. ”

"In the ancient documents of the Appraiser's Guild, there is no specific description of what the Philosopher's Stone is and what kind of appearance it is, but the literature states that the Philosopher's Stone itself represents the unknown, like a magic box. ”

"Oh, in the words of an adventurer, it's like a mysterious treasure chest, you don't know if it's a treasure or something terrible, it's all random. But it is precisely because of this unknown that changes fate and even changes the world that so many alchemists will follow one after another. ”

Immortal?go back in time?Thor frowned and fell into thought.
