Chapter 50: Brian who accidentally made friends
In fact, Brian is not the only one who has had this idea, there are many alchemists who have also tried it, and in the end they all lost their money, and they will be laughed at by others for their delusions.
Knowing the lessons of his past, Brian didn't publicize the incident, but only told one of his best alchemist friends, who was also an alchemist, and was very supportive of him.
It has to be said that Brian's talent in alchemy is indeed very high, and after three years of countless experiments, Brian finally concocted a paint with excellent results.
After Brian succeeded, he couldn't wait to tell his friend the good news, but he didn't expect Brian's friend to be a treacherous person, who wanted to get this formula from Brian, and originally wanted to take it, but Brian developed the formula with great difficulty, of course, it was impossible to say it so stupidly.
Unexpectedly, Brian's friend wanted to take someone to snatch it directly, Brian killed his friend by mistake in the resistance, his friend is not small, the second son of a viscount, that viscount has a great background, and is a commander in the royal capital.
After mistakenly killing his friend, Brian didn't dare to stay in the royal capital for more and began to flee, but as an alchemist, Brian had no other skills and could only rely on his old profession to make a living.
It's just that every time he helps someone strengthen his weapon, it doesn't take long for his identity to be exposed, and Brian was almost arrested after being exposed twice in a row, and since then, Brian, who has lingering palpitations, fled to the remote territory of Gervais and has lived until now.
"What a tragic story." Gervais looked at Brian with pity, he was about to reach the peak of his life, and his wealth was rolling to marry Bai Fumei, but he fell into this fate because of his careless friendship.
Killed the second son of a commander, it is also luck to escape here alive, the commander is an official position, the highest commander of a legion is the commander, this is a position only under the great nobles and kings, just like the Rose Knights of Rose Castle also have a commander, with high power.
"Then why did you tell me about this, aren't you worried that I will report you?" Gervais was a little curious, Brian dared to tell himself about it, knowing that if Brian was caught, it would definitely be a dead end.
"Because you have seen my cultivation, I can't make up any good identity to deceive you, and I have nowhere to go, I am wanted in the kingdom, and I have no money to provide for me to flee again."
In fact, Brian didn't say one more thing, that is, what Gervais has done in the past few days, as soon as he took office, he cleaned up the three Benny, and no nobleman would execute him for doing evil to his subordinates, at most he would fine some money and then whip a few whips, because in the eyes of the nobles, serfs are just tools of labor, no different from cattle and sheep.
There was also what Gervais did in the seaside mountain village, and the child's offense, Gervais not only did not punish him, but also rewarded him with twenty copper plates, which made Brian feel that the lord in front of him was a different kind of nobleman
It is in this way that Brian chose to gamble and tell Gervais about himself, he really has nowhere to go, let alone money to run away, if he lies and fools Gervais today, with the energy of a nobleman, he will soon be able to find out the truth and falsehood.
After listening to Brian's answer, Gervais nodded, unless Brian never engages in the alchemist industry again in his life, he will definitely be caught, there are not many alchemists, and they are conspicuous no matter where they are.
"Then what do you do here to make a living, haven't those guards come to you?"
Suddenly, it occurred to Gervais that Brian lived in a stone house in Marina Town, and that the former guards would definitely come to check it out.
"I still had a little money with me when I came, and I used it to bribe the former captain of the guard and live in this stone house, and I told the captain of the guard that I was a doctor, and that I did make money to support myself by healing others." Brian said silently.
"Not bad idea, don't worry, as long as you don't deceive me and don't make trouble in my territory, then you can live here safely."
Those guards didn't cultivate, and they couldn't see Brian's cultivation, as long as Brian made up a good identity and bribed again, it was really easy to conceal it.
What Brian said was well verified, as he was wanted all over the country, as long as Gervais sent someone to inquire about the nearby noble territory.
If Brian's words are true, then Gervais is happy to keep this excellent alchemist in his territory, the alchemist is the top talent in this world, although he doesn't need it much at the moment, but it is better in case of emergency.
"Brian, the story has been heard, and I believe what you say for the time being. Now I want to ask, do you still have the guy you eat with you? ”
Gervais picked up his sword from his waist and placed it on the dining table with the hilt in his hand.
"What?"
Brian paused for a moment, not understanding what Gervais was talking about eating, seeing Gervais pick up the long sword, his heartstrings beat a little, but fortunately Gervais did not unsheath the long sword, which made Brian not overreact.
Gervais was a little speechless, it was rare for him to jump out of the way, Brian still didn't understand, but his whole body stiffened, obviously startled by himself.
"It's your alchemy tools and paint."
"Yes, I have them with me, but I don't have much paint, and I don't have the money to configure new paint on the way to escape, so there are only enough for more than ten times now."
After listening to Gervais's explanation, Brian lowered the heartstrings that had been mentioned in his throat, and he almost thought that Gervais was going to arrest him.
"Your realm should be higher than mine, why are you still so timid? I put this long sword here with you, you can help me strengthen it, if you want to have a strong power, just send it to the castle to me directly after it is strengthened, how much money will not be less for you when the time comes. ”
Seeing Brian relax, Gervais smiled and counted him down.
After saying that, Gervais stood up and prepared to leave, Brian's matter had been understood, and Gervais was ready to go back to the castle to practice hard.
Gervais originally thought that staying in this remote territory and becoming a Bronze Horseman would basically ensure his safety, but the appearance of Bernard and Brian gave Gervais a sense of urgency, and he found that the Bronze Horseman was not as rare as he thought.
"Lord Lord, although I am a bronze mid-level knight, I have never learned martial arts to fight with people."
was counted down by Gervais, Brian couldn't help but blush, after all, he was in his thirties, and the lord in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his realm was lower than his own.
"Then Lord Slow down, your long sword will be strengthened tomorrow, originally it cost five gold coins, but in order to thank the Lord for allowing me to live in this town, I only charge the material fee of 4 gold coins for the Lord."
When he said the latter sentence, Brian smiled as if he had won the lottery.
