Chapter 11: The Golden Fairy (9)

"Wow, ahhhh

Ai Lian patted Ai Yue's back, and even so, Ai Yue was still trembling with fear.

While caressing Ai Yue's back, Ai Lian turned his head, looked at Victoria, and asked, "So, that tower is the so-called alchemist, Porterham's tower?"

"Who knows, it's just a weird story in this ridiculous town. Victoria said, shrugging her shoulders.

"But, isn't the so-called alchemy all a trick to deceive people?" Ai Yue poked out half of her little head from behind Ai Lian and whispered.

"Alchemy, the thought and ancestor of a chemical philosophy in the Middle Ages, is the prototype of contemporary chemistry. Its main goal is to transform base metals into precious metals, and true alchemy exists, which is almost a tacit acquiescence of modern scientists. And Porterham, the Alchemist's Tower, was once known as the closest existence to a god, and legend has it that he obtained the true Philosopher's Stone and obtained the power of eternal life!" Victoria suddenly burst out with a long list of words, which surprised Allen a little, it turned out that the cold-faced girl in front of him also had such a side.

However, Victoria did not stop, but after taking a sip of black tea, continued: "Our town, which was once the largest country in Northern Ireland, was a faithful fanatic of alchemy. And the legendary alchemist Porthammer has rightfully become the most powerful person in the country except for the king. ”

Legend has it that Porterhammer was able to make gold out of thin air, and a large part of the country's war funds at that time were refined by Porterham, so Porterham's story is particularly convincing here. ”

With that, Victoria took another sip of black tea and looked up at the tower not far away.

Her eyes were very confused, and her emerald eyes were actually dyed with a layer of gray.

"Well, why doesn't anyone go to that tower now, since it's where the legendary alchemist once lived, maybe there's still a lot of gold buried there, maybe there's a philosopher's stone or something!" Ai Yue suddenly came out of Ai Lian's back, and said with some excitement. When it comes to money, Ai Yue's concern is always high, and in her eyes, having money is equal to having countless delicious food.

In short, it's the persistence of foodies, so is what Elian thinks.

"Because there's nothing in there!" said Victoria, sighing. "The people in the town have already turned over the inside countless times, and even the floor has been renovated again, so you can see... Strange talk is strange talk, and only a fool would believe it. ”

Vittoriga said this, as if remembering something, and closed her mouth tightly. Although she didn't say anything, Eren still saw a hint of confusion on her little face.

"Superstitious monsters talk about something... It's all fools. ”

Victoria's whispers were heard by no one but herself.

"Anyway, we're going to go to the tower!" said Elian, standing up suddenly, and announced in a loud voice.

Hearing Ellian's words, Victoria frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you also a fool?

Unlike usual, this time Ai Yue was also on Victoria's side, "Yes, yes, yes! There's nothing there, it's haunted! It's scary, don't go!"

"Forget about cowards and imps, I'm going to go alone!" said Ai Lian with a "no one should stop me" expression.

"Who's a coward!"

"Who's the little ghost!"

Listening to Ai Yue and Victoria's complaints, the three of them walked on the path in early spring, although the flowers on the side of the road have not yet bloomed, and the whole flower garden still has a winter atmosphere, but unconsciously, some small flower bones are growing up in the unknown, although they have not grown up yet, but soon, they will show their beauty to the world.

"Na~ Elian, why do you have to cling to that tower? If there is something inside, it won't be your turn. Victoria followed Alan dissatisfied, although she was provoked by the phrase "little ghost", but Victoria's flashing turquoise eyes had already informed the boy of her dissatisfaction.

"Haha! If the villagers can find a treasure, is it still a treasure?" Elen paused for a moment and continued, "Vittoriga, let me tell you a secret! I, Eren Aitto! But legend has it that as long as it is a shining thing, even the stars in the sky can get their hands on the king of thieves!"

"The King of Thieves? is the little thief who sent a warning letter to our town? Don't be funny, I have seen the king of thieves who has no money to live in a hotel and is so poor that he can't afford to eat. Victoria scoffed.

Ai Lian's expression suddenly became extremely rich, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Cut, the thief who was exposed, it's really useless~" Victoria stuck out her tongue and smiled.

This was the second time Eren had seen Victoria's smile.

Compared to the first time like a spring breeze-like smile, this time, Victoria's smile seemed to melt the snowy mountains of Charla in the distance.

The March breeze swept through Victoria's face and blew Victoria's blonde hair on the grass, like the heroine of all beautiful stories, and although only for a moment, Eren saw the corners of Victoria's mouth slightly upturned.

The cold and indifferent Victoria.

Small and cute Victoria.

Incredible Victoria.

The tower was in front of him, and although it was early spring and the morning sun was unusually bright, Eren still felt a hint of coldness.

If Victoria's coldness is a kind of cold that repels people. Then, the feeling that this tower gave Elian was like a kind of coldness that penetrated into his bones.

"Could it be that Porterhammer is still alive in this Alchemist's Tower? If this is true, let me reveal your true colors, the legendary Alchemist, the immortal Porterhammer!"

Elen thought wildly as she followed Victoria and Ai Yue into the tower.

"Squeak-" Just as the three of them left the empty first floor and stepped on the stairs to the second floor, the broken door suddenly closed automatically, and the entire tower made a "squeak" sound.

The tower in the sun still looks dilapidated, as if no one has ever been here.
