Acain Pasteur, male, half-elf, 19 years old, is the fourth generation of the Pasteur school of alchemy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Legend has it that it was his ancestors who fermented the first cheese in human history, and the origin of the Pasteurist school can be traced to his great-grandfather Clachette Pasteur.

Krahot Pasteur believed that there was a great spirit that permeated the world and controlled the decomposition of all kinds of tiny creatures to keep the world running, which he called "eternal ashes". Through his contemplation of the "Ashes of Immortality", he developed a unique alchemy technique and applied it to fermentation and medicine, becoming a respected alchemist.

However, the Pasteur family, as an important branch of the Druids of the Pacific Forest, has always passed on the druid profession. For the druids, who advocate "respecting nature, revering nature, and obeying nature", alchemists who use the power of magic to distort nature are simply heretics to be killed. The Pasteurs, who betrayed the noble faith of the druids, were severely criticized by the Grand Druid "Beast Judge" Buddy Bresta and had to move frequently to avoid his pursuit.

Not long ago, Akane's father, Tevera Pasteur, was seriously injured in an accident during an experiment, and his whereabouts were also exposed by the destruction of the spore forest "Rotten Sea", which had long been used as a hideout. Faced with the beast judge who heard the news, Tvera had no choice but to be captured, and was sentenced to freezing and frozen into the primeval glacier. Unless his children and grandchildren make a significant contribution to the forest, or if the forest is in great danger and needs his strength, it will be frozen in ice forever and cannot be liberated.

Tvera knew she was the target of the Great Druid. It was impossible to escape, so he arranged for his son Acain to escape early before he was arrested. Go to Master Trayon, a friend he made when he was younger. Who knew that Master Trayon had long since passed away, if it weren't for the fact that the Master had specifically mentioned the Pasteur family during his lifetime. once told Wendy that he had a chance to help him, but he was afraid that he would die in a daze in the seemingly beautiful but dangerous sea of flowers outside the magic tower.

"This man is very talented. Wendy emphasized to Sui Xiong, "Very talented! The alchemy inherited by his family is very different from the orthodox alchemy I know." I think he'll be your right-hand man!"

Sui Xiong curiously received Arkairn, this half-elf was nearly twenty years old, but his appearance was like a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, very immature and young, and quite short. Stand with the Slime Maiden. He wasn't even taller than her - it couldn't help it, as a half-elf, he often had this type of "developmental delay", even though he had a similar mind to an adult, but looked like a child. According to Wendy's estimates, it will probably be at least fifty years before he grows into adulthood.

Although his father was arrested and executed, Achane did not hate the Beast Judge for it. He was still very young and innocent. The idea was to make great achievements as soon as possible, to convince the Great Druid to recognize the Pasteurists, and thus to set his father free.

"Your Majesty, Great Void Kamene, I beg you to take me in. I will use my alchemy at your service. I believe it will definitely help you. Akane politely said, "If you need it, of course." I can also fight for you as a druid. Combat isn't my specialty, though, compared to the professional combat masters. I'm much weaker at this. ”

Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh, his church was so short of manpower right now. Not to mention that Akane is a master of alchemy who can be admired by Wendy, and it is too late for him to welcome such a talent!

"So...... Master Akane, I want to ask, what kind of alchemy are you best at?" he asked with a smile, "Pharmaceutical, enchantment, or substance transformation?"

"It can be done. "The Pasteurists developed alchemy with the study and use of fine microorganisms, which may be called bacteria or fungi, using them as their main tools. I just use different methods than ordinary alchemists, and basically I can do what others can do. ”

Sui Xiong was overjoyed and asked, "So can you develop a drug?"

"Absolutely. Arcain replied confidently, and then added, "But the technique of the Pasteur school and the classical school technique of the master of Treyon are not compatible." If I were to help Miss Wendy, I am afraid it would be of no help. ”

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He had thought that with Arkairn's help, Wendy's speed of researching longevity elixir would be greatly enhanced, and it might not be long before he could develop this elixir. I didn't expect this to be the case......

He pondered: what should this alchemist, who was good at using bacteria and fungi, do, to put his talents to good use?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an inspiration and asked, "You said you are good at studying and using fungi?"

“...... So to speak. ”

"So, do you know about mushrooms?" Sui Xiong asked with interest, "Mushrooms are also a type of fungus, right?"

Akan nodded: "That's right, mushrooms are one of the most common fungi in our lives, it has a total of six large branches, seventy-nine common subspecies, of which most of them are highly poisonous, and only fourteen are truly completely non-toxic and can be eaten with confidence, respectively......"

"Stop, stop!" Sui Xiong hurriedly stopped his explanation and asked bluntly, "Then do you know that there are mushrooms that can grow in the Northwest Ash Forest?"

Akan was stunned, thought carefully for a long time, and said with some uncertainty: "Such a mushroom...... Theoretically, there should be. ”

"What do you mean by 'theoretically'?" Sui Xiong asked suspiciously.

"Mushrooms are very good at improvisation, and they are very adaptable. As far as I know, even the Shadow Realm and the Necromantic Realm have mushrooms growing. Although the Ash Forest didn't have any mushroom species that impressed me in the past, those mushrooms that could grow well even in the Shadow Realm and the Necromantic Realm must have grown well in the Ash Forest. ”

Sui Xiong smiled, this is really good news!

"So. This mushroom ...... Do you have a collection?"

"Of course, there is, the separate space of the Pasteurist school that has been passed down from generation to generation houses almost every known species of mushroom in the world. Although the 'rotting sea' used to breed new varieties is gone, the cultivation of new varieties has been greatly hampered. But it doesn't take much time just to find the right one from a known breed. ”

So, Sui Xiong gave this task to Akan, asking him to find the mushrooms that could thrive in the ash forest as soon as possible.

Of course, this kind of work can't be done in the Terion Magic Tower, so Sui Xiong had to spend his strength to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array and take Arkane to the Ash Forest.

Because he lived in the warm primeval forest all year round, Akane was completely unaccustomed to the cold weather in the north. As soon as he arrived in the Ash Forest, he was so cold that he yawned and became seriously ill. Fortunately, Sui Xiong was weak. There was no problem in curing the disease, and the tragic end of this high-level intellectual's life before he had time to shine was avoided.

In order to allow Akane to live a good life, and to provide him with a stable research environment. After Sui Xiong talked to him in detail, he helped him build a simple "magic tower".

This "magic tower" is actually a basement with a total of five floors. The building part on the ground is mainly used to pile up some unimportant sundries, the basement floor is the storage place for those consumables, the second floor is the reception room, the third floor is the living room, and the fourth and fifth floors are the alchemy workshops integrating research and cultivation.

Compared to the cold on the ground, it is obviously much warmer underground. After reaching the third basement floor. Even the cold-sensitive Akane was able to live comfortably and didn't even need extra warmth.

As for the fourth and fifth basement floors, they were separated by a powerful purification array. The inside of the purification circle is completely isolated from negative energy, and it is used to cultivate ordinary mushrooms. At the same time, it is also used to ensure the safety of daily life. The fifth layer, located on the outside of the purification circle, is used to cultivate mushrooms that can grow in a strong negative energy environment, completing the work delivered by Sui Xiong.

Akane's research efficiency is indeed good. After about a week, he found a mushroom that could grow normally in the strong negative energy environment of the ash forest.

It's a pity. This mushroom, like almost all mushrooms in the world, is warm and cold-loving, and wants them to grow properly. A fairly warm environment is required.

"Warmth is not a problem, it's just digging a basement or heating artificially, it's very simple. After receiving the report, Sui Xiong immediately rushed to Akane's alchemy workshop. Looking at the black mushrooms that were thriving in the negative energy environment on the fifth floor of the basement, he smiled with satisfaction.

After laughing, he asked, "How does this mushroom taste?"

Akane was stunned for a moment, and after a long moment he asked in surprise, "You want to eat it?!"

"Of course you have to eat it. Sui Xiong asked as a matter of course, "Why do you plant it if you don't eat it?"

Akane was dumbfounded: "Isn't it to make poison?"

"How fresh is it! It takes so much effort to make poison?! How boring am I to do such a thing!"

Faced with Sui Xiong, who seemed to be very puzzled, as if eating mushrooms was a matter of course, and it was ridiculous to use mushrooms to make poison, Akane felt that his self-proclaimed smart head was a little insufficient. It took him a while to sort out his thoughts before he could get his mind clear again.

"Your Majesty, why do you think that this kind of thing that grows up in a negative energy environment can be practical?" his voice involuntarily became a little louder, "It's poisonous! And it's very toxic!"

Sui Xiong suddenly lost interest, and lazily waved his tentacles: "Can't eat it? What's the use of that? I want edible mushrooms." ”

"How can there be edible mushrooms in the world that grow in a negative energy environment!" Akane's face suddenly turned red, as if he had been insulted, "Are you making fun of me!"

Seeing that he was angry, Sui Xiong was a little embarrassed, smiled wryly, and explained to him.

"You're looking for edible mushrooms that can thrive in the ash forest, so that the believers can farm?"

"That's right, mushroom fields. Sui Xiong nodded again and again, "Who said that you can only grow rice and vegetables in the field?

Full of wonder and suspicion, Akan devoted himself to his work again according to Sui Xiong's arrangement...... (To be continued.) )
