Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Temple of the Worms (7) The Half-Hung Alchemist
Just as Wright was pretending to be forced in front of the beauty, an inopportune voice came: "That... Excuse me, are you a demon or a human, and if you don't kill me, can I leave now?"
Wright then noticed that there was a bandit lying on the ground behind Claudia.
When Scott saw Wright looking at him, he immediately added, "I've never killed anyone, I'm just a peripheral alchemist of Flamingo." They gave me research grants, and I gave them alchemy items and potions. Oh, by the way, the flamingo is the name of the legion of the group just now, and their commander is not really a bad guy who likes to kill innocents indiscriminately. It's just that the captain of this legion branch is a villain, so he killed a lot of people when his men followed. Oh yes, this captain is the guy you roasted just now, his name is Stan, he was a wanted criminal before joining the regiment, because he inadvertently saved one of the regimental commander's brothers, and was placed in the regiment. Oh, yes..."
Wright was so dizzy from Scott's barrage that he had no choice but to shout to stop.
"Stop, stop!"
Scott quickly covered his mouth with his hands, lest Wright couldn't stand him, so he simply released a cloud of green stuff to suck him dry.
"I really didn't feel the blood from you, so why did you come to the temple?"
When Scott saw Wright asking him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "What's your name, my name, my name is Scott, Scott Trist." I was originally a commoner, but I accidentally bought a book on alchemy from an old man, and I fell in love with alchemy. It's just that I'm not from an orthodox alchemy background, so no one wants to sponsor me, so I can only earn research funds while working until I meet the Flamingo Legion, they..."
"Getting to the point!" Wright and Claudia said in unison.
"Oooh, I got an obsidian mine from Flamingo last time, and because obsidian is a great help to my research, I wanted to ask for more. But they didn't know the goods, and brought a lot of shiny stones, ignoring obsidian. I told them what I was asking for, and they arranged for me and Stan's team to search for them. I've heard ......"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Wright couldn't stand Scott's chatterbox, and when he saw that he was about to get away again, he quickly called a halt.
Scott covered his mouth tightly with his hands again, apparently aware of his broken mouth as well.
"You can go, but it's best not to reveal my affairs, or it will cause you a lot of trouble. ”
Scott naturally didn't expect Wright to let himself go so easily, and he couldn't help but ask, "You just let me go?"
"Then am I going to ask you to leave?"
"No, no, no, you're a good man, I'll go now, I'll leave right away!" Scott felt his strength return to his body, and ran towards the temple door.
However, after running more than 10 meters, Scott suddenly turned to look at Wright. Because he suddenly remembered a legend just now.
"Legend has it that the Creator God gave the Warden and Cecil the ability to wield divine powers, with the Warden being the Guardian of the World, and Cecil being the Watcher's staunchest ally, or rather brother, the Watcher. ”
Scott suddenly asked loudly, "My lord, you just said you were a watchman?"
Wright and Claudia stopped talking and looked at him in unison.
"I've heard a legend, just a legend, that you made a pact with the Demon King and became a betrayer of Elzes, but why do you still protect this world and those who are hostile to you?"
"We are not traitors, but we do bring disaster to our allies who trust us. You don't have to know anything else, and you can't reveal my identity. ”
Scott hesitated for a moment, then turned back again.
Wright and Claudia looked at Scott suspiciously.
Scott knelt down on one knee and said to Wright and Claudia, "Please accept my following, I have admired the Warden who guards the world since I was a child, and I never believed that they would betray Elzers, who risked the lives of countless people to protect. I think they must have had a compelling reason, and though I am humble, I am willing to do my part to clear the Watchman's grievances. Oh yes......"
"Shut up!" Wright yelled.
Scott covered his mouth, and his broken mouth began to go off topic again.
Wright looked at Claudia, who knew he was asking for her opinion. She smiled and looked at Scott and said, "Wright, isn't this what you've always wanted?"
"What?"
"The trust of life from Elzes. Whether you trust your life and then hate your life, or you always support and trust your life, change or continue their trust, isn't that your goal?
"Yes, isn't the path to self-redemption the path to being trusted again?" Wright, with Claudia's nudge, figured out the key to what he was seeking.
Wright picked up Scott and said to him, "Thank you, Mr. Scott, for the trust you have always placed in us. But I'm not going to accept followers. ”
Scott looked frustrated and disappointed.
"If you don't dislike it, we can be allies first. ”
Scott, who had fallen into a sad heart and couldn't extricate himself from it, suddenly felt like he was in heaven again. He shuddered for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.
In the end, he only held back one sentence: "Life ups and downs are too fast, it's too exciting!"
"By the way, my name is Wright. ”
"I know, I know, you just shouted: I'm Wright Arnold, I'm the Watchman, the Guardian of the World. Seriously, I envy you, because I want to shout with such pride: I'm Scott Trist, and I'm the greatest alchemist in the world. How majestic, how domineering......"
Wright felt a little ashamed to be held like this, and he glared lightly at Claudia, who was snickering next to him.
Claudia stuck out her tongue at him and grimaced. Wright was suddenly cute.
"Lord Guardian..."
"Don't, just call me Wright. ”
"Okay, Wright. I know where the cave is where they are, do you want to check it out?"
Wright asked Claudia, "Did you know about this cave before?"
"You know, I don't find anything unusual other than gems, ores, and a few mutated underground bugs. ”
"I've been wondering, where did this Heartbreaker come from, if you're in the temple early in the morning, why haven't you met me before I came?"
Claudia turned around and walked to the circle in the temple, looked at the circle and said, "I think it may have something to do with you touching this circle." ”
"Possibly, then, Scott, we've decided to go to the cave to see what's going on, are you going to go along?"
Wright turned his head to look at where Scott had just stood, only to find that the man was gone. A voice came from afar: "Go, I'll go wherever you go." Wright then realized that Scott was lying on the ground and looking back and forth with a magnifying glass.
Wright covered his forehead and muttered, "What a research maniac!"
