Chapter 44: Norton the Alchemist
Luo Han, who had a blue nose and swollen face, didn't seem to have to worry about being chased anymore, because probably no one would recognize him. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so a few people swaggered out of the alley, very calm.
Walking on the street without a purpose, Xiao Qi suddenly felt a little confused: "Where to go next?" ”
"How about going to the West Coast?" Luo Han proposed.
"West Coast?" Sun rubbed his heart for a while, as if he had heard it: "That harbor city? ”
"I'm going!" As soon as Lily heard the harbor, little stars popped up in her eyes. There is no harbor in the barren and cold Demon Realm, and when she thinks of the moist and salty sea breeze, the white-gray seagulls close to humans, and the sailboats with sails, Lily can't wait to see them.
On the west coast, it is a seaport city near Huttonmar and is part of the Duchy of Belmar. It is also an important base for the entrance to the heavenly realm, the city in the sky, where land and sea transportation are very well developed, and where commerce and trade are frequent. Luo Han just wanted to go to Sky City to see if there was any possibility of returning to the Heavenly Realm.
In the absence of opposition, several men headed for the west coast. Because of the long journey this time, after threatening Luo Han, they went to the carriage shop in the city center to hire a carriage to hurry away. However, in the process, a bizarre building on the side of the road attracts the attention of the four.
The building, like most Huttonmar buildings, is made entirely of white marble, but is square and flattened in shape, without any signs. The building has no windows at all, only a large door, which is airtight and dull. When pedestrians pass by this "square box", they are all far away. Driven by inexplicable curiosity, the four of them looked at each other and walked in.
"Oh...... Those guys actually went in, I'm really not afraid of death......" An old man who set up a stall on the side of the road raised his cloudy eyes and looked at it.
There was no doorman guarding the door, so it was easy to enter. The wide space was pitch black, Lily raised her hand, and the advanced illumination technique of the magic star bullet was released, and a ball of light slowly rose into the air, and suddenly the light was bright.
"Ahh As soon as the light filled the space, Lily screamed, and the corpse of an old man with glasses was lying at her feet, next to several bottles and jars. It's not that Lily is afraid of the corpse, it's that it appears too suddenly, and Lily is caught off guard.
"It's just a corpse, what's there to be afraid of. But how can there be dead people here? Xiao Qi kicked the corpse with his foot.
"Ouch! What bunny is so disrespectful to the elderly! ”
"Ahh The corpse suddenly made a sound, Xiao Qi was also startled, jumped two steps back, and subconsciously pulled out the splitting wind, and for a while everyone was ready for battle.
I saw the "corpse" slowly get up from the ground, coughed a few times, didn't look at Xiao Qi, and cleaned up the jars all over the ground.
"What are you?" Xiao Qi asked vigilantly.
"What's that? The word "thing" has many meanings, and can refer to all kinds of concrete or abstract people, things, and things, or specifically to people or animals, or to refer to seventy or eighty years old. If you're saying seventy or eighty isn't good, I'm not that old. After the old man finished cleaning up, he raised his head and helped his thick glasses, looking like a top cultural person.
"Uh......" Everyone was in a daze, some didn't understand it, but they still slowly lifted their guard. Luo Han asked curiously, "Old man, what's your name?" Where is this? ”
The old man squinted his eyes and said unhappily: "Young people are not educated, I am fifty or sixty years old, do you want to use honorific titles!" ”
Luo Han twitched the corners of his mouth and said reluctantly: "Then what is your name, and where is this place?"
Norton's face showed pride: "I'm Norton, the alchemist of the Delos Empire, and this is my alchemist guild. ”
"You liar! The alchemists of the empire are so downcast? You're a fake! Luo smiled coldly and looked around, except for the wall or the wall, there was not a single ghost. Norton was not lightly angered by this, and his beard fluttered: "What do you know! The Alchemy Guild under the supervision of the Empire is no longer the original guild, I left there and came to Huttonmar to develop, for the free atmosphere of Huttonmar, but it is true that there is no money after building this place. My knowledge is like an ocean, and you young people don't know how to understand it with half a gold coin. ”
"Is that so...... The Delos Empire is really messy. Luo Han pondered. So how do you lie on the ground? ”
"Because there are no experimental materials...... Norton said vicissitudes, shaking the bottle in his hand: "Only I will test and identify the effects of these potions......"
The bottle in Norton's hand contained half a bottle of viscous jet-black liquid, the color was like deep-sea kelp, and it slowly flowed with Norton's movements, looking disgusting.
"You mean, drank?" Several people swallowed in unison, what courage it would take to drink, and it was not surprising that Norton was lying on the ground.
Norton sighed, adding a few more wrinkles: "Now I'm poor, I don't have money, I don't have creatures for potion experiments, and I don't have apprentice assistants willing to join my guild. What are you doing here? Want to be my lab creature? Norton's eyes suddenly glowed, Luo Han's stared body chilled, and quickly said: "No, no, we just came in to take a look because of your strange architectural aesthetics, since there is nothing to do, let's go out, hehe......" After speaking, Luo Han pulled Xiao Qi and wanted to turn away, Xiao Qi was pulled by him, and a purple round stone fell from his clothes, and rolled to Norton's feet.
"What is this?" Norton picked up the stone and looked at it carefully.
"I picked it up when I was hunting the cat demon in the Glen Forest, and I wanted to play with Lily." Xiao Qi explained aloud. Lily exclaimed, "Do you think I'm a child!" How could you like this kind of thing! Xiao Qi smiled: "Then how old are you?" Lily's face wrinkled: "Dragon's teeth!" ”
Norton suddenly exclaimed, several people stopped playing, and looked over, only to see Norton pinching the stone with excitement on his face: "This is the crystal of darkness!" How did you pick this up! ”
"It seems to be stuck to the body of a cat demon, what is the dark crystal?" Xiao Qi was puzzled, and Lily's face suddenly became cloudy: "You still want to play with such a disgusting thing!" ”
"The dark crystal is a kind of crystal that appears with some powerful monsters after the transfer phenomenon on the Arad continent, which contains dark power and is very useful for alchemy research." Norton frowned and looked at the dark crystal in his hand: "Little brother, I see that it is useless for you to take this thing, it is better to give it to me, my bottle of potion is yours." ”
The jet-black liquid swayed, and Xiao Qi waved his hand again and again: "Forget it, I'll send it to you." By the way, what kind of monsters will appear dark crystals? ”
Norton said lightly: "Zombies." ”
All four of them had a smile in their hearts.
"Where did the zombies come from?" Luo Han asked cautiously. Norton turned to look at him, his glasses shining white.
"It's not for you to know. In short, zombies are too dangerous, and most of the people they have seen are dead, so dark crystals are also a rare thing. ”
"And how do you know?" Luo Han suddenly realized that there was something unfathomable about this old man.
"How do I know...... You don't need to know. Go away, I owe you a favor for this dark crystal. Norton turned and sat down, continuing to fiddle with his quirky experiments.
Leaving Norton's Alchemy Guild, the four of them laughed at the same time without warning.
"Seems interesting."
"Xiao Qi, lead the way."
