"Lars Brown, you've been assigned to the Artisan Branch!"

"But I applied for the Alchemy Main Academy, and I got a full score in the written test!"

"It's a pity that you don't have the talent to become an alchemist!"

A young man with short brown hair stood outside the door of the Wisteria Flower Alchemy Academy in Finnlitt City, wandered all day, and did not leave until late at night, although he still entered the Wisteria Flower Alchemy Academy, but this result is the difference between heaven and hell and entering the main academy of alchemy to become an alchemist.

Since he was a child, Lars Brown was deeply influenced by his father and aspired to become an alchemist, but if he wanted to become an alchemist, Lars Brown knew the existence of alchemists since he was a child, and from his father's words, he knew what kind of existence an alchemist is, and he has a very high talent in craftsman and design various alchemy props.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, Lars Brown was able to build a small manned hot air balloon to fly hundreds of meters into the sky, to make exquisite clocks, and to read all kinds of complex alchemy items and alchemy props.

At the age of fourteen, Lars Brown designed and built a windmill in the suburbs, which was just emerging in the union of the city-states of Sheehan, and the alchemist combined wind, windmill and mill, giving Lars Brown great inspiration and inspiration, as long as he borrowed the power of nature, he could do what human beings could not do.

Just when he was full of pride, he wanted to become an alchemist, and used his wisdom to aspire to enter the Wisteria Flower Alchemy Academy in Fennlitt City, and start to become a great alchemist from here, but he found that he did not have it but could not even cross the threshold of an alchemist.

As a teenager, Lars Brown suffered one of the most significant blows of his life, tearing his dreams and expectations for the future apart, and he was told that he did not have the talent of an alchemist and that he could never become an alchemist.

Lars Brown's reputation as a young genius, even in Finley, has a lot of fame, many children look up to the existence, from heaven to hell, and the original little fat man, who has always been against him, nothing is as good as him, but entered the Alchemy Master Academy and became an alchemist apprentice.

"Is an alchemist so good? It's a choice of fate! ”

"Be a craftsman!"

"Hahahaha, look at me, I'm just an alchemist, and you, forever, can only be a craftsman, change the world? Only an alchemist can change the world! ”

Lars Brown's father, Brown Sr., patted his son on the shoulder and said, "The Artisan Branch is also good, and in the future, you can take over my workshop and become a workshop owner." ”

Lars Brown shook off his father's hand and yelled angrily at his father: "But this is not what I want, you don't have dreams, but I have!" ”

"I'm going to be an alchemist, definitely!"

"Become an alchemist!"

Old Brown slapped Lars Brown in the face, and his face flushed and said, "It's time to wake up, you don't have that life!" ”

"Do you think I haven't had dreams like that? Become an alchemist, but what? No talent is no talent! ”

"The heart is higher than the sky, the life is thinner than paper, no matter how wishful you are, it's useless!"

Lars Brown's father, also a craftsman from the Alchemy Academy, opened a small clock workshop in Finnlet, and was a wealthy and famous workshop owner and merchant.

According to his father's plan, Lars Brown would become a wealthy second generation of workshops, and later become a watchmaker in Fenley, taking over his father's workshop and everything, but Lars Brown rejected the path his father had chosen for him.

The day after he was defeated, Lars Brown left home without a word with his salute and box, and boarded a boat on the banks of the Pegasus River to Tephes City, where the legendary Alchemist Academy was located.

Everything in Tefes City shocked Lars Brown, huge windmills can be seen everywhere outside the city, and there are all kinds of windmill mills, in addition to the use of water power, all kinds of water-powered spinning workshops, which also opened Lars Brown's eyes, the original Western countries used to carry water and water the water wheel, combined with machinery, can use the power of water.

And entering the city, there are many alchemists here, so that Lars Brown dare not imagine that the strange alchemy workshop can produce all kinds of alchemy props and alchemy items that only exist in Lars Brown's imagination.

Lars Brown was dazzled by the latest muskets, alchemical cannons, mechanical pulley repeaters, music-making music boxes, hot air balloons in the process of being built and experimented, new shipyards, and so on.

There are a large number of water towers in the city of Tefes, the residents of the city want to use water, only need a water pipe, you can get it, the layout of the city is also very atmospheric and trendy, there are several horses on the street to pull the bus, some small alchemy items, it seems that the design is very simple, but popular, little by little, can change the world.

"Alchemists can truly change the world!"

"The world is in the hands of alchemists!"

Arriving here, Lars Brown really understood these two sentences, he fell in love with the city, although the city does not have the artistic atmosphere and romance of Finster, but this kind of wave and atmosphere that seems to promote historical change and the change of the times, so that Lars Brown was deeply moved, and the people's spiritual outlook and that sense of transcending the times deeply attracted Lars Brown.

And the holy place of alchemists, above the entrance square of the Akkad Alchemy Academy, there is a statue of the great alchemist Akkad, and a line of letters is engraved on the stone pier at the foot of the statue.

"Knowledge changes the world!"

Lars Brown stood in front of the statue with the box in his hand, looking at the great alchemist Akkadian, and muttering his words, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "Knowledge changes the world!" ”

Lars Brown entered this alchemy academy, listened to a public class, met his childhood idol Lady Marina, his biggest dream was to become a student of Lady Marina, he saw here what a real alchemist should be like, saw the highest attainment of alchemy, alchemy mechanical life Akmund, and saw the second generation of alchemy platform like a miraculous means of alchemy.

Lars Brown started the entrance examination again, but was still told that he did not have the talent to become an alchemist, and was assigned to the machine building branch, machinery is a tool device that can help people reduce the difficulty of work or save effort, such as chopsticks, brooms, tweezers and other items can be called machinery, they are simple machines, and complex machines are made up of two or more simple machines.

Lars Brown chose to enroll here, not as a great alchemist, as he had dreamed of as a teenager, but as an apprentice mechanic.

During this time, Lars Brown received the most advanced knowledge from the Akkadian Alchemist Academy, but he was only able to learn mechanical engineering, how to make glass, make clocks, smelt iron, design ships, learn mathematics, geometry, and other basic knowledge.

Some of the other branches teach architecture, some teach philosophy and literature, some teach how to cultivate various crops, raise cattle and sheep, and even medicine and veterinary medicine.

However, the knowledge related to alchemists can only be absorbed when some alchemists give public lectures, especially some special mysteries related to alchemy, such as chemistry, as well as the formula of alchemy gunpowder, the synthesis of various metal materials, the manufacture of special materials, and the manufacture of potions, which are not available to students of ordinary alchemy academy branches.

Not to mention the alchemist's meditation method, the study of witchcraft, and the manufacture of spell casting materials, which are knowledge that only circulates within the alchemist and can never be passed on to the outside world.

And when Lars studied for several years and graduated from the branch of the Akkadian Alchemy Academy, he could only enter some small workshops, or some large workshops as a manufacturing master or small leader, with a salary that was envied by ordinary people, but he could only teach ordinary workers all day long, and make some ordinary manufacturing of various glass crafts, spinning machines, new horse-drawn carriages and other living utensils.

Some of the special metal refining, such as the manufacture of new muskets, alchemy cannons, and the refining of special materials, must be made by alchemists.

Especially regarding the design of various alchemy items, it must cost a lot of money and time, and the designers recruited by these large workshops must be formal alchemist apprentices, or even alchemists, and the official research institutes of the country and the city can only be entered by these alchemists.
