For the first time in her life, Lady Hela Quinn took a boat from the Central Plains to Broken Cloud City, and then went by water to the northwest border, where the big man was located - Icefield City.

Hela doesn't care too much about how remote Icefield City is, she just hopes to have a place to bathe, this trip to Icefield City, Abel also selected some homeless orphan apprentices for her, including men and women, but she has a headache when she sees these teenagers and girls huddled in the cabin without saying anything, alchemy requires care and boldness, can these cowering children really be competent?

However, this is better than nothing, and with a few more obedient helpers, it is easier to do experiments on your own.

Sailing through the city of Kosol, the merchant ships heading to Icefield City suddenly increased, and the sailors on the ships not far away rang bells from time to time to confirm each other's positions and prevent the helmsman from colliding when he was distracted.

"It seems that Icefield City is not as lonely as it is rumored, and it is much better than my forest villa. Lying on the side of the ship, Hela saw a huge ship docked at the edge of the river, its foremast had collapsed, and there were blood stains everywhere, as if it had experienced a great battle.

"It's ...... A witch's masterpiece. ”

When passing the green vine bridge, Hela immediately recognized that this was by no means artificially built, it seemed that this Prince Rafa was even crazier than he imagined, and he was actually raising witches, but when she saw the almost perfect round Shinahu Lake, she confirmed that this was also the work of witches, and it seemed that he had more than one witch.

"Sheila, my precious daughter, how are you doing in Icefield City?" As soon as the merchant ship came to the side, Abel immediately rushed down and hugged his daughter, who was an official in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Father, I'm doing well. Sheila smiled brightly.

"Thank goodness," Abel said with a reassuring expression, then continued, "Don't worry, Sheila, I'll get you out of here as soon as this deal is done." ”

"Father......" Sheila suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, "I...... I don't want to go back, I'm going to stay here. ”

"What!?" Abel's eyes widened, "Did that bastard prince do something to you?"

Sheila hurriedly grabbed him, "Father, what are you talking about?" His Royal Highness hasn't even spoken to me...... It's my own stay. ”

"Why?"

"Because...... I don't know why, anyway I feel like I'm here... I have found my value," Sheila looked in a trance, "Father, you don't know yet, do you? I'm now an official of the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Official, an official who is not a nobleman but also a woman?" Abel was a little surprised, "Are you sure that the prince is not trying to curry favor with you on purpose?"

"Father, there are many female officials in the City Lord's Mansion, and I'm not the only one. ”

Abel looked at this beloved baby, knowing that she had grown up completely and could make her own choice, so he was silent for a moment and said, "Since it is your own decision, then of course I support you." ”

"Father, it's not like we will never be able to meet, why do you say it's so painful?" Sheila smiled and grabbed Abel's arm.

"Oh, seeing that the daughter you raised is going to stay here in the middle of nowhere, even that father will worry about you. ”

"Remote? I think it's good. ”

"If we weren't remote, we wouldn't have traveled seven or eight days to get here, but then again, what are you doing?" Abel asked again.

"Officials from the Department of Commerce, do you know Sean and Vile? ”

"What? It turns out that you are the one in charge of dealing with the merchants, so ...... Is this a ...... of goods?" Abel looked around, as if he was afraid of being discovered

"Father, don't have a bad idea," Sheila let go of Abel and frowned, "I know, you've made enough money, why are you greedy for all these little bargains?"

"Hehehe, I'm not just talking? Look at you, it's only been a few days since you came to Icefield City, and your elbow has started to turn out......"

Listening to the conversation between father and daughter, Hela became more and more curious about what was so attractive about this icefield city.

Abel was counting the goods with his daughter, and after asking Abel who was an alchemist, a servant-like man took Hela to the city lord's mansion without saying anything because she was a woman.

The people who came and went in and out of the city lord's palace seemed to be very busy, they all seemed to have a specific job, and they only went in and out of a certain office; Hela knew what was going on at a glance, and this bold prince had entrusted all the daily affairs of the prince's affairs to the officials below, including female officials, wasn't he afraid that these people would make some mistakes? However, after thinking about it carefully, she found that this kind of management method was not bad, even His Royal Highness the Prince himself could not do everything, so it was better to leave it to professionals in the relevant field, and it might be more quickly and correctly handled.

After meeting the orc maid and the flame witch who works her magic without concealment, Hela finds the place getting more and more interesting.

Hela didn't see Rafa immediately, but Ah Xue led her to Felihill's laboratory, and when she saw the room full of bottles and cans, Hela who had no money for experiments for a long time suddenly had itchy hands, and if it weren't for the beautiful woman still inside, she would have been eager to dump all kinds of ingredients together.

"But do you want to take a look?" Seeing that the new alchemist was a woman, Felicille was slightly relieved, except for Rafa, who didn't like to talk to other men.

Hela followed her instructions and went to the eyepiece of the microscope, looked inside, and for a moment, she almost thought she had seen something from another world.

"This is ......" Hela looked away from the eyepiece, then at the loach on top of the glass, and then at the eyepiece, the thin tail of the loach was magnified clearly under the microscope, and the liquid flowing inside was so detailed and clear, it was a whole new world, and she couldn't help but sigh, "I can't believe it......"

"What's your name?"

"Hela. She didn't look up, she kept staring into the eyepiece.

"My name is Felihill, and I'm the mistress of Icefield City, and you'll be the head of the alchemy workshop from now on," Felihill took out the elementary chemistry written by Rafa, "All the truths of alchemy have been recorded in this book, so please don't waste raw materials in future experiments." ”

"The truth?" Hela was slightly stunned, and turned to take the book of "Elementary Chemistry".

"Yes, the book already states all the elements and the various reactions, and sometimes you don't even have to do experiments to derive results from reactions. ”

"Elemental ......" Hela flipped the first page, and it contained all the elements, most of them things she had never seen before, and if it weren't for the metal and some elements she knew, she would have thought it was made up of random things.

"It doesn't matter if you can't read it, no one can understand it completely except Rafa," Felihill wrote down a work card with his own hand, stamped it with his own signature, and handed it to Hela, "I'm a member of Icefield City now, no objections, right?"

Hela took the badge blankly, her mind was now occupied by a bunch of inexplicable symbols, she could read some of the reactions in it, which also confirmed that the book was not made up, but because it was not made up, she desperately wanted to understand it, but some of the terms she had never read before, she had to study the notes next to the page of the book by herself, which made her a little dizzy, as if she could get started with one more step, but it was blocked by an invisible wall of air.

"There's no rush to take your time in the future, let's go and settle down first. ”

In this way, a dazed Hela was led into a quiet neighborhood by a maid, into a cozy hut, and then someone brought her a new uniform and quilt.

It's just that the maids are busy cleaning up the dust, and she always stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding the elementary chemistry book in her hand, and she thinks that this book is simply amazing, not only is the experimental procedure very detailed, but the process and the results are also very clear and clear.

She couldn't believe how anyone could know so much, could it be that the author of this book, Prince Rafah, was a prophet sent from heaven?

"No, I'll have to repeat his experiments, or who can be sure if he's making it up?" 2k reading network
