Chapter 267 [Nikolai's Memories 2]

"At that time, we had a hard time, but looking back, it was the best memory of my life.

My sister is a very well-behaved girl and very smart, and because of her lovely appearance, she is often given gifts by well-wishers when we beg, and she will exchange the money she begs for food to share with me. When she learned that I wanted to become an alchemist, she even took all the money she had to buy books on alchemy for me.

I wanted to refuse at first, but she told me that only when my brother can make money, we can live a really good life, and it is nothing to suffer for a few more days, so I must work hard, and leave all the begging work to her in the future, and she is even better at it.

With the help of my sister, I read one alchemy book after another and digested all the knowledge in my head. When I was ready, I decided to apply for an assistant under an alchemist, and if successful, I would have my first job in my life.

That day, my sister gave me a gift, a clean dress.

In fact, we haven't worn new clothes since the wandering, and she used all her savings to buy a new dress in order to make my interview successful, saying that it was an investment in me. After putting on the new clothes, I am more confident.

That day, I did well, standing out from a dozen or so assistant applicants, and I was the youngest of the youngest, and I had my first job since then, and I couldn't have been happier.

If you want to become a good alchemist, you start with the assistants by the master's side. I cherished that job, and while I kept learning, I began to enter the real world of alchemists.

After receiving the first payment, we rented a house, and finally had a stable place to live, so that I didn't have to wander anymore, in order to live a better life, I studied alchemy with my heart, so that my ability became stronger and I could make more money.

Maybe I really have a talent for alchemy, and in a year, I have learned all the skills of that alchemist, and I have learned nothing new, and after learning alchemy, I have a lot of interesting ideas to experiment, and I am no longer satisfied with being an assistant.

Eventually, I went out on my own, rented a small workshop, and I began to develop some beginner alchemist products. Because of my skillful technique, the purity of the reagents and the better effect, my alchemy workshop business is getting better and better, and I am making more and more money, so I am getting bigger and bigger, from the market of primary potions to high-end potions, and since then, our lives have also improved more and more, from renting a small house at the beginning to finally buying a big house directly, and hiring some maids.

I thought that I had finally fulfilled that dream and given my sister a good life. At that time, I began to make a name for myself in Pompeii, and some of the new potions I developed had achieved great results, and I became one of the most famous alchemists in Pompeii at a young age, and I was happy with my achievements, because I was so busy that I had less and less time to spend with my sister.

Until one day, the nanny at home told me that my sister was sick, and this time she was very sick, so I quickly threw down my work and went back to check.

The alchemist was one of the physicians, but I couldn't see my sister's illness, so I searched all the doctors and alchemists in the city, and finally learned about my sister's illness with the help of an old man.

Her disease is a congenital condition, a terminal illness in contemporary research, and there is no cure for it for the time being, and she will not live for a few years......

At the time, I was confused.

I know that my sister has not been in good health since she was a child, but I didn't think things would be so serious, of course I will not tolerate my sister who has been dependent on her since childhood to leave like this, she is the only relative in my life, I have today's achievements, relying on my sister's support.

Since no one understands this, I will study it, so I began to step into a field that I could not even imagine, the field of viruses.

This part of the research is very dangerous, the biggest limitation is how to find the test subject, which is often the most time-consuming and effort-consuming, initially from some small animals for experiments, the mortality rate is very high, and the reference is not enough. In this case, I still achieved some results and helped a lot of people.

Although those results were breakthrough for the field of alchemy, they were still too slow for me.

My sister is getting sicker and sicker, and now she can't get out of bed, looking at that haggard face, my heart hurts, and my time is getting less and less.

In order to save as much time as possible, I began to haunt the dark side of the city all year round, looking for some suitable reference objects, choosing some people who were harmful to the city, and doing something out of the ordinary. In my eyes, those scum are dispensable, they can reduce the guilt in my heart as much as possible, and sometimes, I even experiment with myself.

As I continued to research, I gradually mastered the art of viruses, and even directly improved the qualifications of the human body, so that ordinary people could have extraordinary powers, and I decided to save my sister's life from the hands of death.

However, I was reported and I was found to be conducting some horrific research, when the city's guards broke into my manor and went to the lab to arrest me.

That time, my sister was already dying, and I was about to make a potion, but at that time, I didn't even have time to test the properties of the potion, because I didn't have time, and if I had done a good potion, she might be able to regain her life and get out of the hospital bed as long as it was injected into her body. But at this time, the guards came in and wanted to take me away for censorship......

I struggled to complete that test, as long as I was given a little more time, maybe I could do it, but, due to the obstruction of the guards, the precious reagent that condensed all my hopes fell to the ground, like the sound of my heartbreak, at that moment, I almost went crazy, I struggled hard, and inadvertently knocked over the flammable reagent on the table, and a fire broke out in the laboratory, which spread quickly, mixed with the toxicity of various agents, seeing this fire, the guards couldn't help but retreat for self-preservation, I wanted to save my sister, Rush into the fire to get it out.

However, the fire was so strong that I couldn't get out.

I will never forget the look in my sister's eyes at that moment, it was so weak that it broke my heart, it was the last time she looked at me, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end, nothing was said.

And so she went.

At that moment, I knew that I had lost everything.

Money, status, reputation are gone, I don't care, I have lost the most precious thing in my life......

Even my life was about to be lost at that moment.

At that time, I just wanted revenge! ”
