Chapter 109 Life is a constant encounter with forks in the road, and then choose one with the information you have

The profession of alchemist is very different from other professions, and in this relatively more specialized industry, it is extremely difficult to obtain an official title. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In other professions, for example, a knight with fire attribute battle qi, his title will be named according to his characteristics, such as flame, such as fire lotus, and each level 6 knight can get a title of his own.

However, the alchemist profession has a completely different method of obtaining titles, in this profession, the number of titles is fixed, and in order to get a formal title, you must stand out from the crowd of competitors, and defeat the previous title holder, in terms of professional technical level, riding the dust. Every titled alchemist is the most precious treasure of mankind, and it is also the most difficult resource to control.

The title of molten gold in the alchemist group means that the metal master, who has mastered dozens or hundreds of different metal recipes, has this title, and crowns the entire Orlando and even the entire continent in the smelting of metal. Every year, many people come to challenge this title, and in the last five years, I have not heard of this title changing holders.

This was equivalent to an absolutely unexpected surprise, and Wren was immediately interested. He had also seen a titled alchemist before, titled Gear, was the top mechanical engineering master among alchemists, Wren spent a lot of money to ask him to design a machine that was used to draw threads and weave cotton integrally, in fact, Wren could also say some of the principles, but he didn't have a complete concept of the actual thing, and that guy hadn't made an entity yet.

And the money Wren threw out was only equivalent to a deposit, and he could only start to operate after the first batch of cotton came down. In this way, it was Ren who gave up some face in the imperial capital to find it through his relationship.

It is conceivable how expensive a titled alchemist is.

I never expected to catch a wild one here.

"What is your relationship with him, how do you know that this alchemist named Gael is in Balatan?", Wren became interested, sat in the study of the Lord's Mansion, which had been briefly cleaned up, and glanced up at Andorra. This simple action, a look that was so ordinary that it could not be more ordinary, gave Andorra great psychological pressure. The source of this pressure was not Wren's aristocratic status, nor his position in the ruling class of the Empire, but his fear of Wren's cold-bloodedness.

He did not hesitate to kill more than 20,000 workers outside the city, bleeding and drifting, and until now, the fires on the outskirts have not been extinguished. The black smoke that had been burned rose into the sky, and the gray-black dust was thrown down, and the whole city became a river of sorrow.

Andorra constantly warned himself not to offend the young nobleman in front of him, but his hands were already full of blood, cruel and cold-blooded.

"The De Cochman Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest arms dealers in Orlando, and they have a total of four sub-bases, and this one in Balatan is one of the largest arsenals in the southeastern part of the empire. Gail came here this time to bring a secret recipe that is said to increase the hardness of the weapon and also make it less easy to break. Andorra said everything he knew in one breath, took a slight breath, and continued: "Later, when the conflict broke out, the merchants of the city united with the nobles and officials to block the streets and gates, and Gael did not have time to leave, so he stayed in Baratan, and the reason why I know is precisely because the place where he lives was arranged by me. ”

Wren smiled slowly, leaned forward and stood up, and he walked up to Andorra, who immediately bent down, his head almost touching his knees, to show his humility. Wren patted him on the back, "Very well, you have done a great job, take me to this Mr. Gale now." ”

Andorra was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and bent his waist, "Please move, I'll lead the way in front." It is also difficult for this worker representative, who knows little about politics, to use official social rhetoric under formal pressure.

Wren called Blair, and in less than twenty minutes, he stopped outside a house. It is located in the northern part of the city and is the largest residential area in the whole of Baratan. In front of Wren was a very ordinary two-story building, which had not been affected by the war, and it seemed extremely quiet at the moment. Blair violently pushed open the courtyard gate, and Andorra took the reins of Wren's mount and led him into the courtyard.

At the same time as turning over and dismounting, the door on the first floor of the small building was also pushed open.

An old man in his fifties, with silver-gray hair and a slight old age, looked at Wren. He was not like the rest of the city who faced Wren with fear, his gaze was flat, and he seemed to have known that Wren was back. This is because he has this confidence and this capital. In Orlando, any alchemist with a title is a dignitary who needs to be treated with courtesy. They may not have strong military force or any special political status, but they themselves represent a complex and large interest group.

Wren tugged at the corner of his clothes and shook it vigorously, straightened his dress, pushed Andorra away, walked in front of Gail, and bowed slightly, "Hello, honorable titled alchemist, Mr. Molten Gold Gale." I am Wren Alcania, the patriarch of the Golden Thorns of the Empire. ”

Gail's eyes rolled a little stiffly, he looked Wren up and down, nodded with a smile, reluctantly stretched out his hand, and gently shook Wren together, "It turned out to be a golden nobleman, no wonder, no wonder!"

He said no wonder, but he didn't know what was wondering, and he didn't seem to be very interested in Wren.

Seeing that Gale had no intention of inviting Wren into the house, Wren didn't care, "I came here to visit Mr. Gale this time to invite you to go to Ortrenburg with me. Ortlenburg is a young city and in my ......"

Before Wren could finish speaking, Gale raised his hand and made a resting motion, and he roughly interrupted Wren's words, "I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood, I'm going to leave here soon and return to the imperial capital to continue my research." I don't have time to go to any ...... Ao what?"

"Ortlenburg!", Wren accentuated slightly.

"Yes, Ortlenburg!", Gale repeated, his tone was no less light, and there was a faint arrogance in his tone, "I don't have time to go to the country of Ortlenburg, and of course I thank you for your kindness, and if nothing else, I think I should go back to reading." ”

Clearly, Gail rejected Wren. He didn't like Wren, it wasn't that Wren did anything, as an alchemist specializing in metal recipes, Gale really knew much more about the world than the average person, not to mention that most of the formulas he developed were used in how to kill more effectively weapons. He didn't like Wren because Wren was too young and he was also a golden aristocrat.

Just like many educated and knowledgeable people, they always feel that they are arrogant, they can be arrogant and slow princes, and they don't have the slightest good face for these young nobles who have no knowledge but steal high positions.

The enthusiasm on Wren's face gradually cooled, he nodded noncommittally, and after carefully studying Gale for a moment, he stretched out his finger and poked Gail's not strong chest, and Gail's brows jumped, "I suspect that you are suspected of instigating and inciting the Balatan workers' rebellion and sedition. He suddenly grinned, "Take it!"

As soon as the words fell, the long sword came out of its sheath with a choking sound, and in a flash of coldness, Blair kicked Gale over, and the blade was on Gail's neck.

Andorra was shocked and at a loss, Gail was stunned for a moment, his old face suddenly turned red and purple, and he roared with his head stalked, "I...... You fart, I'm a titled alchemist, a registered official member of the guild, why are you arresting me? What about the evidence? If there is no evidence, I will mobilize the entire alchemist group and the Crucible Guild to go to the imperial capital and accuse you of your evil deeds in front of Her Majesty the Empress!"

Wren didn't laugh angrily, he nodded his chest, "What I said is evidence, what I say is Wang Fa!", as soon as the words fell, a punch was punched, and Gayle was immediately hit with a nosebleed. Wren straightened his palm, his fist wiped against Gail's neckline, and his face was disdainful, "Sue me? Do you really think I dare to kill you? ”

His expression gradually became indifferent, his eyes were deep, and he raised his hand and patted Gail's face, "Think about it, do you want to go to the countryside of Ao or something." Think carefully and think clearly before answering. He sneered, it was really embarrassing, "After today, some public opinion in the empire is bound to push me to the forefront, I don't care, anyway, I am already a bad guy who slaughters civilians, and it is not too much to kill you more, respected Mr. Molten Gold Gale." ”

Wren knew very well in his heart that for the entire empire, the suppression of riots would be more merit than a demerit, but outside the ruling class, he would be demonized, he would be the antithesis of mainstream values, feared and spurned by many. In the midst of killing and bloodshed, his mentality at this time has changed a little, people say that he will succeed in ten thousand bones, but he does not stand in this position, it is difficult to experience the emotional fluctuations caused by killing.

Wren's contemptuous, disdainful look and tone made Gale's temples bulge, but he didn't make a sound of resistance, closed his mouth tightly, and fought with silence.

Wren looked down at him, their eyes engaged in the air, and when the killing intent in Wren's eyes began to become more and more uncontrollable, Gale finally staggered his gaze.

He's just an alchemist.

Wren snorted twice and squirted out a word in Chinese, "Cheap!"

"Presumably Mr. Gale has not listened to me, and when I arrive in Ortlenburg, I will prepare a separate villa for you, and build a separate laboratory of your own design. I will do my best to get you what you need, whether it's people, things, or whatever. All you need to do is let go of the recipe and continue your research. He paused, observing the change in Gail's expression, his expression softened a little, and he was a little more embarrassed, "In addition, I will give you 10,000 gold coins of research funds every year, a salary of 1,000 gold coins, and ten young girls as a spice in your life." I will try my best to accommodate some reasonable requests. ”

"I'm already sincere, but what about you? Mr. Gale?"

Not everyone with knowledge can stand firm in the difficult choice of life or death, and neither can Gail. He found out that Wren was an aristocrat who played cards out of common sense, and he really didn't seem to care what kind of public opinion his behavior would bring him, and he was a pragmatist. In the face of such a person, what can Gale do but be silent? Open his mouth to scold him? Maybe what will be ushered in is a beating.

As if sensing Gail's subtle psychological changes, Wren glanced at him and sheathed the blade around Gail's neck. Wren kindly helped Gail up, his face was full of warm smiles, he straightened Gail's bloodstained and crooked collar with his own hands, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and patted off some dust on his body, "You see, it's easy to get along with people, isn't it?"

Wren gently hugged the stiff Gale and said warmly: "On behalf of all of you in Ortlenburg, I welcome you to join us, Mr. Gale. ”

Life is such a!

Gale didn't even have the strength to speak.
