Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Crazy Journey

For Nobeier, the first spring breeze in his career was not only difficult, but also unexpected. Norbeir originally only wanted a gentle breeze, but who knew that it would be a tornado!

It came too fast, like a tornado. It came too hard, like a tornado. And the unbearable Nobeir has almost reached a desperate predicament from which there is no escape.

Because no one wants to invest too much money in an alchemist like Nobeier who has not proven his worth, because he does not have enough fame, because he has not achieved excellent results, Nobeier needs more luck than perseverance if he wants to go further on this path.

Norback's decision was to become a mercenary. There is a well-known saying in the human world: "Mercenaries who are always on the verge of life and death have no reason to be underestimated, and while they face countless dangers, they also face countless opportunities." ”

This sentence gave Nobeir courage and hope, and the truth was unusually cruel. An alchemist like him, who has no combat power, and even many people are reluctant to admit his identity as a magician, especially when his union title is nothing more than a mere alchemy apprentice, and even people who want to try their luck to discover a little potential and value from him can't be found.

The weak Norbeier obviously didn't understand what kind of roles those mercenaries who licked the blood from the knife edge, so that after a few years of being a half-baked mercenary who tried his luck to take on tasks while trying his luck in alchemy research, he couldn't find a mercenary team willing to accept him.

There have always been only two kinds of lone mercenaries, one is a ruthless character who is really capable of making a lot of money alone, and the other is the kind of idiot who has no ability to try his luck completely. As far as Nobir's mercenary career is concerned, no matter how hard he tries, he will inevitably be classified as the latter.

In the city where Nobeir lived, he even had a well-known nickname, "Innocent Nobeier". It may sound like a positive and affirmative epithet, but it's actually the most common sarcastic epithet.

An alchemy apprentice with no hands on his back. If he has nothing to do, he will go to the mercenary guild to hang around and see if there is any suitable task for him, which is indeed a very impressive picture. As far as Nobeier's slender body was concerned, it was obviously incompatible with the three and five thick mercenary men around him.

What kind of adventurous tasks can he take on? Help a noble lady find a lost pet? Or help someone's family take care of a sick person who is paralyzed in bed? The mercenary union is also a territory where strength is respected, and there is no means to prove its strength, and even a lucrative task cannot be grabbed, at most he can find a few small transactions for copper plate remuneration, which should not be called a mercenary mission, but should be called a public chore. A real mercenary who definitely doesn't spend time on that kind of garbage task.

But Nobel's concern is not the miscellaneous work. His eyes were always on the high-level mission area, as if he wanted to use his luck to get a simple mission with a high bounty that would keep him fed and clothed for the rest of his life. His posture even caused a lot of trouble for himself.

On several occasions, he was repaired in front of the public by some mercenaries who looked at him unpleasantly with unreasonable reasons such as "unpleasant". Those savage and rude mercenaries would never pass up an opportunity to be sensational, and they could not be expected to treat politeness as a rule.

This made his nickname even louder, but Nobel never changed his way of life. Taking advantage of the opportunity to study, he would study his own professional courses, and if his mind was not smooth or he had free time, he would still wander around the mercenary union. Even if he was beaten by others and his nose and face were swollen, his appearance was just standing up as if nothing happened. Pat the dust off your body and continue to look for the right task, day after day.

He is like a strange person who can pull off even the most vicious curse imposed on him by the gods of the heavens. is as innocent as a mentally retarded child, and it is so bad that it makes people feel distressed. Optimistic to the point of envy.

And in the thousands of searches, Norbeier really found an exploration and adventure mission that has no restrictions and can be tried by anyone. It was an expedition to a ruin, which had just been discovered. Aside from knowing that the ruins were full of dangers, there was no other relevant information, and there was no clue as to the nature of the ruins.

Clever and sophisticated mercenaries just look at such a task. will scoff and turn to the next location to look for it. Everyone knows that such a task is called a task if it sounds good, and it is called death if it is said badly. If it weren't for the dangers that required many people to risk their lives to explore the way, why would there be no restrictions at all and such a generous reward? What rich man would spend money to let people take risks just to find out some information about the ruins?

Although remuneration is a key factor for mercenaries to undertake tasks, it is more critical to see whether they have the life to spend it.

Nobeier signed up for the mission as soon as possible and got some relevant information. Even without a companion, or even a word of encouragement, Nobir packed up his belongings and set out on his journey.

No one but Nobir himself knew what kind of death he was experiencing. A weak alchemy apprentice wanders a dangerous ruin on his own, which is basically the same as creative suicide.

is such an unpopular super little person, but he has completed the exploration of the entire ruins. Aside from the fact that the slight lack of food and water had made him look a little yellow and skinny after completing his exploration, he escaped almost unscathed. This was a shocking result, and it immediately aroused the doubts of countless people, some even suspected that Nobeir just found a corner in the ruins and slept quietly for a few days, and then came out to lie and cheat the high commission.

Nobeir is weak, but his personality is not weak at all. He can tolerate being bullied if he is not strong enough, but he must not bear to have his personality tarnished. Immediately, Nobeir confessed the secret of his escape and the nature of the ruins in the crowded mercenary union.

That relic was the alchemy workshop of the once sensational alchemist Gafros, from whom Nobeir was able to escape only because he was a good alchemist, nothing more.

An alchemist is also called an excellent alchemist, and this statement made Norbiel laugh at it again, and they felt that this mentally retarded child had gone crazy thinking about money, and could even say such irrational words.

But Nobeir only sneered back, and from the moment he came out of the ruins, the trajectory of Nobeier's life had changed dramatically. It's just that the short-sighted mercenaries haven't realized it yet.

Whether an alchemy apprentice is considered an excellent alchemist depends on what angle to identify, if it is just the results of Norbeier's creation, then he is nothing. However, he used the conditions that he could use to complete his exploration of his professional field, and it may be difficult for him to afford some elementary alchemy materials, but he can save money to buy those professional books in the alchemy industry, as well as the biographies of celebrities in the alchemy industry.

Master Gavros was once famous hundreds of years ago, and he was a true genius in the alchemy industry. His withdrawn personality makes him incompatible with the world, and he is an unbelievable eccentric. But no one does not admit that he is a rare genius in a thousand years, according to the evaluation of him by those of his contemporaries, that is, his thinking in the alchemy industry is at least centuries or even more than ten centuries ahead of the people of the time. Very avant-garde ahead of its time!

If it weren't for his withdrawn personality and poor interpersonal relationships, if he was willing to show his research and inventions to other peers, or publish them to the world, the times would have been changed by his crazy inventions. The times create zào heroes, and heroes can also create zào eras, and Gafros is undoubtedly such an alternative hero.

Sadly, to this day, no one understands why Gafros suddenly disappeared in his later years. He and his crazy ideas are theoretical. There are also those unbelievable inventions and creations, which are difficult to find. That's a great loss to the world, and that's a summary at the end of Gafros's biography.

Even the latecomers have commented that if anyone can find the valuable possessions he left behind. Even if it's just his daily notes, not to mention changing the whole world, at least changing the current downbeat of the alchemy industry is not a problem at all. And more and more later people think that this is just an excuse for the down-and-out alchemist to admit the reality, and it is just a futile self-deception.

Nobel is one of Master Gafros's most loyal fans. Countless times, Nobeier was suffocated by not being able to be in the same era as such a handsome student. But if there was a single piece of material about the master that Nobeir could gather, he would not hesitate to buy it, even if the price was too high for him to bear. He'll figure it out.

It was through this experience that Nobir had come back alive from the ruins. He knew everything he could find about Gafros. And the traps in the ruins, which can survive in the blink of an eye, are all in line with some of the crazy words and arguments that Gavros has circulated around the world.

Countless contemporaries and even later generations found Gafros's crazy arguments impossible to realize, and Gafros at that time, like Nobir, never explained them positively. Generally, there are only two kinds of people who will really not explain. One is a poor person who is poor in reasoning and difficult to confuse the public, and the other is a person who has reached a high enough level to completely disdain to explain to those low-level people.

Gafros undoubtedly falls into the latter category, and he is not entirely without explanation. The vast ruins he left behind are the product of all sorts of crazy ideas, and this is the most brilliant explanation for the explanation!

After encountering several dangers in a row, Nobir discovered that many of the things in the ruins matched strangely with some of the Gavross material he had read. And the only way for him to save his life and complete the task is to put himself in Gafros's position and understand his state of mind at that time.

Journey to death?no, it's a crazy journey that brings Nobel back to his heart!(To be continued......
