Chapter 003: Alchemist
The Kingdom of St. John is an ordinary kingdom that stands near the sea.
There are two main professions in this country, knight and alchemist. Compared to knights, alchemists have a higher status and are more respected. It's a pity that every alchemist needs to have some understanding of the elements of magic, so that he can depict a magic circle on the back of his hand that casts spells instantly.
Then spend a lot of money to buy alchemy tools as combat equipment, and use the Golden Mithril Sand to tattoo your own totem on the back as an energy battle pet. These are the prerequisites for alchemy as a powerful one, and at the same time they must have it.
Smokescreen Town, as lively as ever. It's just that there is a big event that stimulates their nerves today, that is, the civilian alchemist Hedeyn wants to win the daughter of the Viscount family, Ivy.
Hedin was the most competitive representative of the commoners, and became a junior alchemist by his own efforts. But he wants to marry Miss Ivy, the daughter of a middle-level alchemist family.
Of course, Ivy also liked this hard-working young man, but unfortunately her father was not optimistic about the guy who was not born from a noble family.
He could see that even if Hedeyin became an alchemist, he would have limited future achievements without special tutoring. Even if he sends someone or personally counsels him now, there is no way, who says that he has already been formed. What's more, the value of the benefits that just a junior alchemist brings to the family is too little.
What he really dreams of or looks up to is a mid-stage alchemist plus a viscount family, only in this way can the Outlanard family really grow, or a high-level alchemist.
Just by virtue of civilians. It's really hard to get into your own eyes without the help of external forces.
Ivy's father, Owen, is really not optimistic.
He is not optimistic, but his daughter is very optimistic. Gives him a bit of a headache.
So Owen came up with a way to get his son to challenge Hedeinn. Push the other party down like this.
As usual, he changed into an aristocratic dress, combed his hair neatly, and took a sip of coffee before slowly walking out of the manor hall.
Outside the hall stood a number of alchemists and servants.
"His Royal Highness!"
"Sir."
A famous servant standing on the grass or on the gray path, the attendants all bowed their heads, and expressed their highest respect and respect to Owen and surrender to the strong.
Owen enjoyed the feeling as if he was in control of everyone's lives, playing with them at his fingertips.
Da Da Da ......
Just as he was quietly sketching a smug smile, a girl in a skirt came to the corner door.
The girl's facial features are delicate and moving, and she has a standard melon seed face. A golden wavy hair. The skin exposed to the sun shimmered with a sparkling luster, and the green blood vessels inside could be seen thinly.
Her figure was as perfect as her looks, a deep trench could be seen on her low-necked chest, and two snow-white and smooth milk balls were swaying up and down as she ran, attracting the attention of the men around her in a perfect arc.
A perfect arc is formed between the towering breasts and the flat lower abdomen, especially behind the plump and straight buttocks, which is even more curved and seductive, making people want to play with it roughly with their hands.
Owen saw the girl running over, and inside the skirt was a pair of tall and straight sexy long legs. White as snow, smooth as the most perfect nephrite, halfway to below the thighs are thin transparent black stockings, so that the white flower skin and sexy legs loom out.
Owen glanced at his daughter with satisfaction. The smile on his face was even more proud. He felt that he had not only given birth to a son, but also a beautiful daughter.
He believed that even if his daughter was put in the royal capital, there were still many nobles who were willing to marry, even if it was a concubine, and he could still make his family climb to an unprecedented height.
Think of a bright future. Owen was almost happy to die.
"Oh, my dear daughter. You ran so fast, it hurt the face of your daughter's family. Owen said with disgust. Although it sounds like a critic's words, there is no meaning in his face and tone.
Ivy blushed and smiled embarrassedly, half-lowered her head and said shyly, "Today is the day when Heideyin came to challenge." ”
"Huh." Owen smiled very gently, but a trace of disgust and cold light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly sneered: "Just because that guy who accidentally stood up from the civilian wants to marry my daughter?" It's a dream, and I'd like to see how far you can go. Hmph, today's competition is to make you die a heart. ”
Owen stepped forward, grabbed Ivy's slender arm, and said with a smile: "Now come with me to the square to watch them compete, I will tell you beforehand, if the competition is not successful, you should know my requirements." ”
"Yes, I know." As Ivy walked forward, her heart trembled, and her body trembled slightly as if she had been electrocuted.
She knew that if Hedein failed, she would not be qualified to win herself, and that she must never come into contact with Hedeyn according to her father's wishes.
Ivy smiled stiffly, and made up her mind that if she really failed, she would never get married for the rest of her life.
She figured this out, and her heart was relieved, and she felt that her whole body was much lighter.
A road leading up the manor soon leads to the central square of Smokescreen.
The square is a circular open space, surrounded by a circle of concrete walls, and there will be a humanoid sculpture every two or three meters, as well as a lot of greenery.
In the middle is a fountain with clear water flowing forward.
At this time, a stone battle arena was temporarily set up next to the pool, and two young men in leather armor were standing on it. The audience also surrounded a large number of applauding civilians, and for a while, it was very lively.
Ivy and Owen were riding in a carriage, and not far from the plaza they could see a dark-haired teenager standing in the corner of the stage.
The boy looked to be twenty-three or four-year-old, with medium-long black hair, a slender figure, and angular features. And those inky black eyes are full of strange charm, exuding a sense of attraction.
He wears a piece of light leather armor. In his hand he held a golden sword, the surface of which was inlaid with dense gemstones. And exudes faint mental fluctuations.
This is an alchemy vessel named King Solomon!
Opposite him was a blonde man, with a look of arrogance under his handsome appearance, and he was holding an unusually exaggerated war knife in his hand, and at this time he looked at the man in front of him defiantly.
They looked at each other and did not speak.
Owen was also full of confidence when he saw his son's appearance, and he also had a hole card as a way back, and he believed that this victory was his son's.
Can an alchemist in a mere commoner's house defeat his own son? No, that's impossible. Civilians are destined to be just civilians, they are all a bunch of inferior humans under their feet. What if you can become an alchemist? I can still look down on them.
He chuckled and said, "Ivy, let's go ahead and watch this battle." You think your brother will give you an unforgettable result. ”
"Father, this battle has not yet begun, everything is undecided." Ivy's originally calm expression, seeing the strength that Owen showed from time to time, also made her brows gradually twist together, and the depths of her eyes revealed a little worry, and she couldn't help but think that Hedeyn would really lose? After thinking about it. Ivy still forcibly pressed the uncomfortable thoughts. No matter how you think about it, you can only wait for the results to appear.
She took a deep breath and reopened her eyes, her sapphire-like eyes were full of determination, and the firmness that seemed to be the sky would not change also made Owen slightly moved. His eyes flashed with an even colder cold light, and a sense of dangerous vigilance quietly rose in his heart.
He made a decision to wait until the end of the competition. A squad of knights and alchemists was sent out to kill Hedein. Otherwise, his daughter's heart will only be on that damn little bastard.
"Let's go, let's see who will win this battle." Owen knew it couldn't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, it will be more and more remote from its own plan.
"Yes." Ivy bit her crystal lip and stepped out of the carriage with her little feet.
The moment you walk down. Her beauty attracted the undisguised longing gaze of the civilians around her, and in the face of the gaze that was almost indistinguishable from that of a wolf, Ivy straightened her trembling chest and raised her graceful and round chin, like a little swan, her movements and expressions and the temperament of her body always worried about the people around her.
All the civilians felt that Ivy was so beautiful, so beautiful that it was intoxicating, like a small white flower under the storm, bringing a little white light to the gloomy night, and like a beautiful swan, proud and difficult to touch.
All the civilians felt that Hedin was really rich, and that he was actually loved by Ivy. It's a pity that they are not too optimistic about the result of this competition.
Ivy walked forward gracefully, her slender waist sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right with the pace, drawing the attention of the civilians around her.
Hum!
Owen noticed the gaze around him, his face turned cold, and he snorted heavily. The voice with a certain amount of spiritual power suddenly made the surrounding civilians dare not look at it anymore.
"Heidein, come on!" Ivy walked to a seat to the north of the stage and smiled sweetly at Hydein.
"Yes." Hedein's firm face bowed slightly.
"My good sister, at least give me a smile. I'm your own brother, and I know that to an outsider, or a commoner without noble blood. The handsome blonde boy turned his head to Ivy to complain, the contempt in his eyes was not disguised, he just didn't like and looked down on the commoners and looked down on Hedeyn.
Ivy didn't speak, and sat silently in her seat, but her white fingers were white, clasping the armrest.
As Owen also sat in the main seat, several soldiers in charge of watching the battle platform shouted: "Go!" ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole venue was also lively.
"Waste, let's get started." The handsome young man picked up the sharp long knife in his hand and took a pose.
Without any hesitation, Hedin tore off the holster in his hand, and could see a round of blue light coming out of the magic circle on the back of his left hand, with the pattern of a head hydra in the middle.
"Condensation!" Heideyin's eyes were solemn as never before, and she stretched out her right hand to cover her eyes, and shouted.
The magic array on the back of his hand burst out with white light, and the hydra in the magic array seemed to be alive, and the body on the surface was disturbed and twisted, and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore could be faintly heard. With a roar, the pattern shot out a blue light and landed on the battle platform about five meters in front of him.
The blue light turned into a small three-meter-long hydra, emitting a faint blue light on the surface, and the hideous nine snake heads all looked directly at the handsome young man in front of him.
"Haha, you really plan to die immediately, you dare to use the power of totems and magic arrays, but an alchemist like you who has not been specially trained is rubbish, and the totem is actually carved with the magic array, isn't it a waste? Hehe, let me show you the professional means. The handsome young man glanced sarcastically at Hydein in front of him, also ripped off his gloves, and used the magic array and totem to summon his own alchemy beast.
Roar!!
A white striped tiger was entrenched on the fighting platform, and its fierce appearance shocked all the civilians at once. Even the momentum of the Hydra couldn't help but drop by half a bit.
"Let's go!" The handsome young man waved his fingers, and the white light on his fingertips turned into afterimages in mid-air. With the command, the white tiger and the nine snakes entangled with each other.
He moved on his toes and stepped forward, a very large step, and in just a few clicks he came to Hedein, and the power from his waist was transmitted to his wrist. The sharp knife slashed through the air in an arc towards Hedein.
Feeling the danger approaching, Hedeyin kicked his legs back, and the whole person fell straight to the ground, and then slapped his left hand, and quickly dodged the handsome young man's rapid blow with the help of strength.
"Sure enough, it's just a garbage thing that came out of the civilians, and it's so reluctant to take every move, now it's up to me to deal with you."
The handsome young man licked his tongue greedily, and his eyes were the size of a pin's eye.
And the sword light in his hand appeared a faint red light, and a magic array appeared on the tip of the knife, and with a buzz, the knife burst into flames.
Each alchemist can control an element, such as fire, thunder, water, earth, metal, ......
He swung forward, and a flaming blade instantly rushed towards Hydein.
Yes!
Hedin let out a long roar, and a magic array also appeared with the golden sword, and the blue arc of lightning of the thunderbolt wandered on the blade of the sword. He barely stopped and rushed in front of the other, as if he didn't have the flame blade in his eye at all.
The handsome young man saw that the other party didn't even have the idea of dodging, and he smiled even more proudly. Does this guy still think his flame blade is so easy to dodge? If so, you can't take yourself too seriously.
It's just that when he was smiling proudly, the smile on his face suddenly froze. Because he saw the most incredible thing happen. (To be continued......)
