Chapter 104: Sophia

"Well, I think I have the right person to meet all your requirements, and now I'm idle, without further ado, let's go visit this official alchemist together!

Her name is Sophia Hirst, a descendant of a long-standing family of alchemists in Hurgana, and I believe her skills will satisfy you."

The gray-haired Master Flynn showed an act that did not match his age, and he took out a walking stick from the side, which looked like a magical item, and stood up and said to Xia Lin.

"Master Flynn, isn't this going to be too much of a hassle for you?"

Xia Lin didn't expect that as the president of the Alchemist Guild, Flynn Kundel was actually willing to take himself to visit another alchemist, which almost meant that he used his reputation to protect Xia Lin and the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and said with some trepidation.

"No, as I said, the Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories you proposed will be of considerable help to my research, and this theory will also be beneficial to the development of the wizarding world in the future.

By the time several court archmages have completed their discussions on this theory in several large magic societies, such as the Eye of Knowledge, Spell Wisdom, and Elemental Mysteries, and published it in the journal Runes and Magic that you proposed, I believe that your name will become known to everyone in the wizarding world.

As a senior on the path of magic, I'd be happy to give a little help to a mage like you!"

Master Flynn smiled at Xia Lin's uneasiness, and carefully explained why he was willing to help Xia Lin in this way.

Since Master Flynn had said so, Xia Lin was embarrassed to refuse the elder's kindness.

As the president of the Alchemists' Guild, Master Flynn's magical attainments are naturally quite high, Xia Lin estimated that he should be a six-ring archmage, and the two of them went straight to the East Side through the flying skills he cast, and finally landed outside a manor in the East End.

From the outside, although the estate is quite large and large, it obviously lacks daily care.

The yard is overgrown with bushes and fallen leaves, and although there are no weeds, it looks very dilapidated.

The three-storey building is covered with vines of vegetation, which are surprisingly verdant in winter, and look like they complement the gray-white mottled façade, giving it a sense of history.

「****!」

Arriving at his destination, Master Flynn whispered a message to his visiting master using teleportation, and soon under Xia Lin's astonished gaze, a petite humanoid golem completely different from the two golems he had seen in Professor Maltz's research room opened the door and walked out, and then opened the iron fence at the door.

"Good morning! Uncle Flynn, did you come to me today for something?"

The golem was identical in all dimensions to the human body, and even had long blond hair and wore a thick winter maid outfit.

Except for the magic copper shell and the magic stone inlaid with his eyes, Xia Lin didn't find anything wrong with it, if it looked at it from a distance, it would definitely be regarded as a maid with a beautiful figure.

"Sophia, this is the Master Charin Karl who proposed the Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories, in addition to his great achievements in the study of magic, he is also very talented in business, and is deeply trusted by Her Royal Highness Dorothea, the second princess.

This time, he came here because he wanted to hire a full-fledged alchemist, didn't you have a lot of funding problems with your recent research?

Mage Charin is willing to give the signatories 150 gold lunt a month in research funds, but you will have to sign an elemental oath with him and promise not to reveal all his secrets."

Master Flynn explained the two of them in detail to the seemingly delicate and magical golem maid.

"Charleen Karl?"

As if the maid golem understood Master Flynn's words, the maid's head tilted in question.

Although the cold facial features did not move at all, and it seemed that the mouth was only decorative, it did not open, but it showed the one of the operators behind it

Silk curious.

Then the maid golem looked at Xia Lin's outfit with the inorganic magic stone twin boys, and finally said:

"Then please come in! If you are the proposer of that theory, you will be entitled to enter the Hearst family mansion."

After saying that, the maid golem turned around and walked back, looking at the gait that was no different from ordinary people, Xia Lin felt a hint of surprise.

"Let's go! Sophia is the daughter of my old friend, and her alchemy skills have been raised by me, and she has also dabbled in the science of golems, making this maid golem with her own hands, and I am sure you can see her skills."

Master Flynn nodded at Xia Lin in explanation.

"It's really shocking, I can actually simulate the form of the golem to the point where it is almost indistinguishable from a human, and the golem I remember is the kind of existence that is large and stiff, and it hits the enemy like a mobile fortress on the battlefield!"

Xia Lin was full of surprise and emotion, and kept up with the pace of one person and one golem.

Three figures stepped through the door of the Hearst Mansion, and Xia Lin was immediately attracted by what he saw.

Mountains of parchment books and pamphlets, and wooden shelves that lay out on the ground in a mess, leaving only a winding path, on which were placed golem limbs of various shapes and plaster casts of women.

Strange rune disk-shaped objects hung from the ceiling, some of which glowed and illuminated the interior. The originally large space looks extremely cluttered, but in the clutter, it faintly follows a certain pattern, which looks quite beautiful.

When the two of them followed the guidance of the maid golem into the foyer, a figure wearing a green mage robe also appeared on the platform on the second floor, with messy golden short hair, which seemed to be the same hue as the maid golem, but the pair of dark circles that could be seen clearly from more than ten meters away made this figure look a little decadent.

"Sophia, you've made your home look like this again!"

Seeing that the room was so messy, Master Flynn didn't feel as much as Xia Lin, he shook his head helplessly, and cast a spell that Xia Lin couldn't recognize, and then the miscellaneous objects in front of the two of them were neatly stacked aside as if they had been grabbed by an invisible big hand, revealing a wide hall with a wooden floor.

Compared to this spell, the hand of a cleansing mage is completely incomparable.

"Uncle Flynn, this is the labyrinth I built with great difficulty to test Graceia, and you've ruined my design again!"

The figure didn't appreciate Master Flynn's kindness, and she grumbled as she yawned and walked down the stairs.

As the distance changed, Xia Lin also saw the face of the alchemist named Sophia clearly.

The official alchemist recommended to him by Master Flynn looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance seemed to combine the advantages of Sassen and Sain, with three-dimensional and petite features, a high nose, and a pair of deep blue-gold twin children half-squinted, like an elegant Persian cat that had not yet woken up.

If it weren't for the pair of deep dark circles under her eyes that made her look decadent, she would definitely be a beautiful girl whose appearance could be compared to that of Princess Dorothea who did not wear a princess crown.

Sophia Hirst walked halfway up the stairs and used a levitation technique to fly smoothly and leisurely in front of the two of them.

Then she waved her hand casually, and her maid golem named Glesia began to move, skillfully moving a set of tables and chairs from the clutter pile on the side, and somewhere to find a tea set, and headed to the corridor at the back of the hall, as if to make tea.

Sophia sat down on the chair by herself, and after her beautiful blue-gold eyes looked at Xia Lin a little, she showed a surging smile:

"Is this His Excellency Charlem Carr? I heard your compliment, and no one saw Graceia's greatest goodness, but you did, and I was pleased with your eyes!"

"What's the use of letting golems move like humans? After all, the golems are used on the battlefield."

Master Flynn expertly found a chair to sit down and shook his head

No.

"How could my Graceia do the work of those reckless men? She just needs to be by my side as my family and watch over me! My quest is to turn her into a real "human"!"

Sophia disagreed with Master Flynn's denial, she explained her expectations of her maid golem, took out a paper bag that Xia Lin was familiar with from her sleeve pocket, and then twisted a piece of rock candy from it and stuffed it into her mouth to taste the sweetness of rock candy, and sighed with satisfaction.

It is a rock sugar made by adding soybean milk to the white sugar solution. Even the paper bags containing these rock candies are made of paper produced by paper mills.

"What? Does Master Xia Lin also have the idea of overusing his brain and wanting to consume some sugar?"

Seeing that Xia Lin had been looking at the paper bag in his hand, Sophia looked at him and the paper bag in his hand and asked Xia Lin.

"No, it's just that this paper bag and the rock candy inside seem to be products of the Xinglan Industrial Park, which is managed by my Xinye Chamber of Commerce, so it's just a bit of a surprise."

Xia Lin saw that Sophia seemed to be about to hand the paper bag to him, and hurriedly explained the reason why he cared.

"Really? You're still the president of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce?! It's no wonder that at such a young age, he can come up with such a huge amount of money as 150 gold lundes!"

Hearing Xia Lin's words, he obviously didn't expect that the mage who proposed the "Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories" actually ran a chamber of commerce that he was quite familiar with, and Sophia showed a slight surprise on her face.

"It's okay, it's definitely okay to pay for Miss Sophia's research, but I want Miss Sophia to sign an elemental oath with me, and I can't reveal what I have seen about working in the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce."

Xia Lin nodded and said, every day, the Xinye Chamber of Commerce can get nearly sixty gold lunt dividends from the profits of the Xinglan Industrial Park, which is 1,800 gold lun in a month, which can fully guarantee the supply of research funds for a formal alchemist.
