When Abel thinks of his beautiful daughter who is still in Icefield City, he always urges the convoy to hurry up from time to time, although Prince Rafa does not look as ridiculous as rumored, and even generously gives himself a whole convoy of goods on credit, but who knows if he will extend his claws to his daughter?

After seven or eight days of rushing on the road, the group finally returned to the somewhat lifeless looking Silverlight City, which looked like an old man in the twilight compared to the Icefield City, which was being built on a large scale and everyone was full of energy and busy.

Since Byron's trade has been completely monopolized by the Hyperion family, and recently heard that something happened to the imperial capital, a monster attacked the palace and the church, in order to raise funds to rebuild the damaged ruins, the Hyperion family not only embezzled the savings of the treasury, but also raised taxes on merchants other than the Hyperion family, Abel had to come to his hometown, Silver Light City, in order not to lose money.

He originally thought that without the big market of Byron, these goods on credit would be greatly unsalable in Silverlight City, but the result was diametrically opposite, the exquisite gadgets produced in Icefield City became popular in the entire Silverlight City in one day, the beautiful transparent glass products were deeply loved by the nobles, the slightly lower price of water storage pens was also immediately sold out, and the rest of the cheap iron tools were also within the reach of ordinary civilians; the best among them was naturally the telescope composed of transparent glass and retractable cylinders, and everyone who passed by would pick it up and take a look, through the lenses, they seemed to see a new world。

Seeing that the sales of goods were so good, Abel handed over the shop to his subordinates at this time, and brought two entourages to visit one of his customers a long time ago, carrying the two boxes entrusted by Prince Rafa.

Hela Quinn is just thirty years old this year, just look at her surname, you know that she is a nobleman, but just like Abel said, don't get involved in alchemy, this eldest daughter from the Quinn family inherited the title of marquis, and also obtained a huge family property, maybe she will "marry" in the future A handsome man, and then lived a plain but not worrying aristocratic life, but since she came into contact with alchemy, the wealth of the Quinn family began to decrease sharply, just Abel was an alchemy merchant, and earned tens of thousands of gold coins from the Marquis of Hela, and Abel is only one of the many suppliers of alchemy goods, who knows how much money she spent on alchemy.

And just the year before last, Hella sold the last estate of the Quinn family, so far, the Quinn family has completely declined, all the servants have left, and the Quinn family is left with only a somewhat dilapidated looking villa, and this villa is located in the lush woods on the outskirts of Silverlight City, I am afraid that the Marquis of Hella intends to sell, I am afraid no one will, because the path leading to the villa has fallen into disrepair, and it will become muddy when it rains, and the carriage will fall into the mud if it is not careful; ？

Speaking of which, this Marquis Hela was still a celebrity in Silverlight City in the past, not only because she spent a lot of money, nor because she was beautiful and pursued by many nobles, but because the lord of Silverlight City used to do something to the Marquis of Hela at a party, Marquis Hela took out a jar of unknown liquid that he had prepared and poured it on the lord's head, and the poor lord suddenly burst into flames, rolling and screaming on the ground, no matter how his subordinates poured water or what they did, they could not extinguish it, and in the end, the lord was directly burned alive into a pile of charred corpses, because his death was extremely tragic and many people were impressed, and the Marquis of Hela became famous。

But the more amazing thing is still to come, because the lord died, the lord family, which was the sworn enemy of the Quinn family, naturally would not let go of Hela easily, and organized a team of thousands of knights to attack the Quinn family, but the Marquis of Hela was not in a hurry at all, and deployed some strange potions, which were poured on the path of the enemy's inevitable advance, and then the people of Silverlight City never heard of the news of this cavalry, and this cavalry army of more than 1,000 people seemed to have evaporated from the world, and it was rumored in the city that the Marquis of Hella had poisoned them with poison, so the Marquis of Hella also got oneThe title of "Lady Poison Lord", since that incident, Marquis Hella has rarely appeared, except for the merchants who supply alchemy equipment, few people can see her again.

Abel knew that there must be an element of fiction in this story, but who would care about these details? He only knew that the Marquis of Hella was already destitute, and that Prince Rafa was just in need of an alchemist, wasn't that right? and that he was also a beautiful noblewoman marquis alchemist, and I believe that His Royal Highness Rafa would definitely like it.

Fortunately, it has not rained in the suburbs of Silverlight City recently, so the road is quite easy to walk, and the two carriages are not slow to walk one after the other, Abel sits in the front one, and the carriage behind is naturally reserved for the Marquis of Hela.

Although he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to invite the Marquis of Hela, but when he took him away, the prince of Rafa gave him a huge wooden box, and instructed him to move the box out if the other party did not agree, and then told him some details, and finally His Royal Highness said that as long as the box was moved, the other party would definitely agree.

"Could it be that it is gold?" Abel thought in the bumpy carriage, but it was wrong to think about it carefully, although this box was heavy, it had not yet reached the weight of full gold, but if you want to say that it was filled with top-quality glass, the weight obviously did not match, thinking that in the end, he had to shake his head, thinking that he would know everything when he saw Marquis Hela.

After walking for a long time on the mountain road, the houses and pavilions hidden in the mountains have loomed.

Abel instructed his entourage to hurry up the car, and at the same time sighed in his heart, "How can a woman live alone in the mountains?"

After a little more jolting, the carriage finally reached the gate of the manor, whose locks were rotten, and at first glance it was a deserted villa, full of dilapidation, but if you looked closely at the lock, the rusty iron door was hung inside, indicating that it was the lock of the people inside.

Able lifted the heavy gold coin bag, let the entourage carry a wooden box containing glassware, walked to the door of Tieshan Gate, and shouted inside, "Lord Marquis Hela!"

After shouting for a while, the surrounding birds were alarmed, but the whole villa seemed to be dead, and there was no movement.

Abel couldn't help but be slightly anxious, Marquis Hela ...... It won't be ...... Dead, right?

He wanted to break open the door and take a look, but he was afraid that when he entered the villa, he would see the rotting corpse of Marquis Hela, maggots wriggling among the carrion, and wild beasts roaming nearby...... Thinking of this, Abel couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, a cloud obscured the sun in the sky, and the surroundings suddenly became cold, unknown birds flew overhead with strange chirps, and coupled with the rotting corpses in the fantasy villa, the atmosphere suddenly became eerie...... Abel and the two attendants were secretly frightened in their hearts.

"Chief Abel... I think...... Let's go get someone else......" One of the attendants looked around worriedly.

"Yes, Boss...... Silverlight City is not the only one alchemist...... "Another attendant also suggested.

Abel glanced at the villa inside the iron gate again, "Say...... It's also said that so much dowry, too... I'm not afraid of not being able to recruit people. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to his entourage and motioned for the carriage to turn around.

"It's okay to go, things to stay. ”

The three of them were about to leave, when a pleasant voice sounded inside the iron gate, and the two attendants were so frightened that they immediately fell to the ground and shouted, "Everything is for you! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Abel was also slightly startled in his heart, and froze in place, but then reacted, wasn't that voice Marquis Hela?

"Lord Marquis Hela. ”

Seeing a tall woman in a white dress walking to the door, Abel bowed slightly, this is a beautiful woman, although she is thirty years old, but she still looks like a girl, the years do not seem to have left too many traces on her face, she is meticulously dressed, there is not the slightest wrinkle in her dress, and her pale red hair is also well cared for, it seems that a person's life has not made her decadent and self-defeating.

She had been staying under a tree inside the iron gate to read, but she couldn't see her from the angle outside the iron gate, and the three of them shouted for a long time just now that she didn't agree because she happened to see the important fragment, so she didn't bother to answer.

"I remember you, your name is Abel, and I used to buy a lot of alcohol from you. Hela said through the iron door.

"It is an honour to be remembered by the Marquis of Hela. ”

"What are you doing today? Deliver the materials for my alchemy? I'm sorry, I don't have the money to pay for your goods, unless you're willing to buy this remote villa. Hela's tone was flat, as if she didn't care about anything outside of her.

"You misunderstood, Lord Marquis, there is a big man who wants to hire an alchemist, and I immediately thought of you......"

"If you're talking about big guys just snooping on my body and sleeping with me, then you can leave, but remember to leave what you have brought with you. "Hela seems to have encountered this kind of thing a long time ago, so it's very explicit.

"You misunderstood," Abel was a little anxious, "I can guarantee that the other party really wants to hire you." Abel was also a little weak when he said this, because according to the reputation of the third prince Rafa, who knows what he will do when he sees Hela? Perhaps he was afraid that Hela would not agree, so he hurriedly waved to his entourage.

The attendant hurriedly opened the wooden box he was holding in his arms, and then reached through the Tieshan Gate.

"Beautiful terrarium. Hela picked up a beaker marked with a scale and exclaimed faintly.

Abel knew that being able to get Marquis Hela's appreciation meant that she liked this thing very much, so she hurriedly handed over the pocket full of gold coins, "Lord Marquis, this is the bride price paid by the Lord in advance, and if you accept it, the salary will be very generous in the future." ”

"I'm going to ask for something," Hela said, taking the box, "but I'm sorry, I'm not going to accept anyone's recruitment. ”

"This ......" Abel was a little overwhelmed, the contents of those wooden boxes were worth more than a bag of gold coins in his hand, "Lord Marquis, think about it again." ”

"Needless to say, I'm not going to work for anyone," Hela said, placing the box on a nearby table, and continued, "bring that box in too, I don't know what's in it, but since it's all here, it's all mine." ”

"That's right,

Chest!" Abel suddenly remembered Rafa's instructions, as long as he opened this box, he would definitely be able to convince the other party.

It took a great deal of effort for him to open the rusty iron door, and then he commanded his two attendants to carry the heavy box into the house according to Hela's instructions, but Abel remembered Rafa's instruction to "move the box to the center of the house and open it again", so he ordered his attendants to put the box in the middle of the hall full of books, which was supposed to be the center of the villa.

"What is this?" Hela asked.

"Uh... I don't know, but according to the big man, it's an alchemy product inside, and as soon as you open it, you'll definitely agree to his hire. Abel replied truthfully.

"Oh, alchemy product, open it quickly. As soon as she mentioned the word alchemy, Hela immediately became interested, she had used almost all the materials for alchemy in the past two years, and she could only rely on reading books to pass the time, but now someone suddenly sent alchemy products, how could she not be excited.

The two attendants found knives, and it took a lot of effort to open the nailed wooden box.

"What is this?" As soon as the wooden box was opened, inside was a cylinder, and at the top of the cylinder was a long line coiled together, even the well-informed Abel had never seen such a strange thing.

Hai stretched out her hand and touched the material on the surface of the cylinder, and found that there seemed to be a layer of hard iron sheet inside, and the outside was wrapped in coarse cloth, and a note was sewn on the coarse cloth, she picked it up, only to see that it read:

"To my future alchemist, this is my gift to you, this is a product of alchemy, it can play a role beyond your knowledge, and its use is very simple, pull the long line at the top to thirty meters outside the house, and then light the long line, remember, when you light it, you must make sure that there are no living animals in the house, and Lord Abel must also help to confirm, when you light it, you must make sure that there are no animals in the house, not even a puppy, I repeat, when you light it, you must make sure that there is no one in the house, and not a dog can exist。 ”

"This ......" Abel also read, how did he feel that this thing didn't seem quite right, why there must be no one when it was lit, could it be some kind of poison? or some powerful magic spell?

However, as Felihill had predicted, the alchemist was more curious than anyone else, and Abel was still a little hesitant, but Hela had already brought a piece of wood from the fireplace that had not yet burned out, and was about to touch the long line on the top with it.

"Don't, don't!" Abel was startled, he knew that His Royal Highness's instructions so many times were definitely not a joke, so he hurriedly stopped Hela, "Marquis Hela, let's do what I said above......"

"Pretending to be a ghost, I want to see what the big guy you said is doing. ”

Hela was stopped by Abel, and she couldn't succeed, so she had to respect the instructions on the note, and let the two attendants pull the long line from the house to the iron door of the villa, but there was still a section of the long line, and the four of them simply retreated to the end of the long line, which was already far from the villa.

Hela threw the burning firewood to one end of the long wire, and the powder she spilled from the wire confirmed that it contained saltpeter.

However, strange things happened, after the long line was touched by the flames, strong white smoke and violent sparks immediately emitted, and this spark was moving rapidly along the long line towards the villa, leaving a string of white smoke.

"Interesting. Hela raised her eyebrows, and it seemed that the "big man" thing was indeed a bit wonderful.

The four people standing in the distance could see that the sparks had entered the house along a long line, but it seemed that nothing had happened, and Abel and the two attendants looked at each other a little, except for Hela who kept staring into the distance.

"Boom!"

The loud noise that burst into was accompanied by a strong firelight, which shook the ears of the four people, and the birds on the whole mountain were frightened and flew into the sky, and it was extremely noisy for a while, and several people who had lost their hearing looked into the distance blankly, and no longer had the heart to look at the birds in the sky.

In the moment of the explosives, Hela's villa became a flying cloud of broken stones and burning wood, and the original villa had become a pile of burning ruins, countless books were torn apart in the explosion, and the sky seemed to rain like a piece of paper.

Since then, the last villa of the Quinn family has also been destroyed.

......After a long while, the two attendants fell down on their knees in unison, muttering, "This must be the power of the god of fire......

Abel also stayed in place in horror, he didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if he had let Hela light the fuse in the house just now, Prince Rafa's move was too ruthless, it turned out that what he said that the other party would definitely accept meant blowing up the other party's home......

Just as the three men were terrified, Hela began to smile, and the wind from the explosion ruffled her red hair, like a goddess of war.

"It seems that your big man is a madman, but as it happens, I'm also a madman. 2k reading network
