Ever since Master Nicholas was injured in a fierce battle with the evil alchemist Rodriguez, there has been a steady stream of visitors, but almost no one has been able to see him, and he has been stopped by his wife Alexia, for the simple reason that the old man is seriously injured and needs to recuperate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, Nicholas was in good spirits, and at six o'clock in the morning he was lying comfortably in a rocking chair in a small three-story building on the manor, looking at the green peaks in the distance after the rain had washed away.

Soft footsteps sounded behind him. George walked slowly and stood still behind him.

Nicholas turned around and smiled at his son, "You're here?"

George didn't say anything, and nodded silently.

Nicholas smiled and continued to look back at the verdant landscape in the distance.

George didn't say much and continued to stand silently.

For other fathers and sons, such a scene was embarrassing enough, but the two seemed to be accustomed to it, and they were so silent and deadlocked.

After a long time, Nicholas seemed to have enjoyed the fresh air, finally took a deep breath, stretched comfortably, slowly stood up, and said, "Where have you gone, fellow friends?"

"It's quicker than planned, and now we've broken through the rat hole on the second level, and we haven't resupplied it yet. I underestimated them. ”

"Oh?"

"The four of them are very active in their minds, and they are very comfortable with the use of slime magic, not at all like the novice team. ”

"Strength is one thing, and your slime demon is also quite successful. Do you have any ideas for promotion?"

"I'm not as determined as Mr. Rodriguez and want to live a few more years. Leave it in the sewers - but the design of the slime can be retained. Use it again in the future when the time is right. ”

"Will those four people leak secrets?"

"They're not stupid. ”

"Also, they made a lot of noise on the first floor of the sewers, and it is estimated that there will be an earthquake in Snell Harbor. And some kind of dark kingdom came out - although there were only two people. ”

The corners of George's mouth turned up slightly: "It's not a big movement, it's just a few hundred drug dealers and a thousand small dwarfs." ”

Nicholas's face sank: "More than a thousand lives, this is called 'that'?"

The smile on the corner of George's mouth became even stronger: "Which of these guys is not full of crimes?

"If the matter is revealed......"

"Find the Lich of the Cult of the Dark God. It has nothing to do with us or Team 1643. Perhaps, you can also set up a special crusade team to attack the dark kingdom. ”

"If that dark kingdom falls, then your research ......"

"Absolutely not in a year. ”

"Why?"

"What is the name of the crusade team? Revenge for drug dealers and killers? When the crusade team is formed, will the church take the lead or the city hall take the lead? By the time they get the results, the Kingdom of the Dark God has already integrated all the forces in the sewers, and the benefits from normal communication are much greater than dealing with drug dealers. ”

Nicholas laughed and said, "Sounds like you have a complete plan, don't you mind sharing it?"

"Port Snell, the so-called freest and most prosperous port, will soon be free and prosperous. The Church will use the Rodriguez incident to intervene with all its might, ostensibly to combat heresy, but in fact to take Snell, a rich and wealthy place under the direct command of the king, as its own. ”

"Yes, there is news from the imperial capital that the new Pope is ready to attack the Alchemy Association, requiring all alchemists to re-register, and the production and sale of alchemy materials must also be included in the scope of review. ”

"To put it simply, the church doesn't allow disobedient guys to exist. So, we have to find our own way. At our level, there will be a bunch of people watching everything we do, so it's better to break down and simplify the task and hand it over to those reliable and smart people. Even if they know the tip of the iceberg, and even can deduce the whole picture of the iceberg, they will not be able to touch the inside of the iceberg. The risk of leakage is minimized. All that's left is to build the bricks. ”

"Sounds like a common method used by academic tutors. ”

George smiled: "It's good if it works, whatever faction it is." The direction of the mentor is big and inappropriate, and the students are afraid to take a step beyond the thunder pool, full of thoughts about upgrading and making a fortune, and only when they can research things can they have ghosts - you see, the cemetery is my secret research institute, with Kosarocchi and Sean in charge, the sewers, which will soon become our experimental base, with Petrarch, the king of the Dark God Kingdom, in charge, and the 1643 team, they are the pioneers who open the way for us. ”

"Even if one day we're gone, these people will still pass on the spark of alchemy, right?"

"That's right, when alchemy can perfectly reproduce all magic, even putting magic into props to make fireworks, the era of magicians is over. When alchemy allowed mankind to create miracles beyond God, the era of the church was over. Let this day come as soon as possible, and let alchemy benefit the common people as soon as possible, isn't this the mission of our alchemists?"

Nicholas burst out laughing, leaning back and forth.

George looked at him with a smile.

After laughing heartily, Nicholas said, "Are the people of your world so lawless?"

George's smile froze on his face. Nicholas, on the other hand, observed his expression with interest, neither father nor son spoke.

It was another suffocating silence.

This time it was George who spoke first: "You are wrong. Our world is the era when order is most admired and stability is pursued. Careerists are losing the market little by little. ”

"The market, your world, does the Chamber of Commerce control everything?"

"It used to be. ”

"Everyone's minds are as dangerous and aggressive as you?"

"No, defending one's own mind and way of life, including me, is the same. ”

"With such a dangerous madman in charge, your king must sit on a brazier every day. ”

George smiled slightly, and didn't answer the conversation.

Nicholas continued: "So, why can't you stay honest when you come here, your soul, to be precise, into my son's body?

"For I have enjoyed the glory of being a human being, and I do not want to be clothed in the skin of a monkey anymore - I do not want to bow down to the gods that do not exist, to the filthy nobles, like the fools of this age, and you cannot give it. Neither can a god-level alchemist. ”

Nicholas was dumbfounded.

An alchemist who is not rebellious is not a good alchemist, and every discovery, every bold attempt, every dangerous challenge of deviance is the price necessary for alchemy to keep advancing.

However, his own son is too crazy!

"Are you going to smash all the divine power and the royal power?"

"According to the general rule, let's not talk about three hundred years later. But now you can get ready, isn't that what I'm doing?"

Nicholas let out a long breath: "Well, the last question, where will humanity go?"

"Humans and slimes are two extremes. Slimes unconditionally modify themselves to adapt to nature, while humans always want to unconditionally modify nature to adapt to themselves. As the ability to transform nature grows, so does the ambition of human beings, step by step towards self-destruction, but the moment before destruction, they will eventually repent and embark on the path of coexistence with nature, and at the same time achieve self-development and progress.

"The world is not destroyed?"

"Dangerous, but no. ”

Nicholas let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and smiled with satisfaction on his face. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"yes, a lot. For example, did you create the mother who gave birth to my body? If so, then you had a relationship with the test subject, and then you created me as the test subject? Or even crazier, you didn't have a relationship with the test subject, and you also made me? Is that so? Mr. Nicholas, the blasphemer, the destroyer, the alchemical madman? I just want to hear the truth with my own ears. ”
