In the afternoon of the same day, Harrison's promised alchemy materials were delivered to Nolan's alchemy workshop.

He was accompanied by the old wolf and his men, who, according to them, were at Nolen's disposal to keep him safe and convey his demands to Harrison in a timely manner.

Nolan knew what they were thinking, but he didn't debunk it.

Even if they are not their true allies now, as long as they successfully complete the commission, the final outcome is still happy.

And if they have bad intentions, their magic guide duelist arm and Yuna, who has the strength of a fifth-order knight, will tell them what it means to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot.

Not to mention anything else, the strength of the fifth-order knight is only below that of the high-level knight, and it is not a bad street.

Before, Wright wanted to plot against himself, so he specially invited his friend to help, and that knight was only a third-order.

The old wolf is just a subordinate who works hard for Harrison, and his strength is almost the level of a third-order knight, and his subordinates are even weaker, and they are estimated to be ordinary mercenary thugs.

This kind of strength is indeed more than enough to monitor an alchemist who has no combat power, but it is not enough for him.

Therefore, Norentan let the old wolf and his men guard the door of his workshop, and threw himself into the laboratory to start refining his own potions.

Thanks to the Book of Omniscience, he fully understands the content of the formula, and the success rate of refining the medicine is infinitely close to 100%.

Therefore, even if it was the first time to refine the high-grade elixirs such as liberation elixirs and inhibition elixirs, Nolan still maintained the most accurate and efficient refining methods, but it took two days to complete the preparation of all the samples of the elixirs.

So much so that at noon that day, when he told the old wolf that he could test the efficacy of the improved potion with Harrison at any time, his expression was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost.

The old wolf knew a little bit about alchemy, so he often negotiated cooperation with other alchemists for Harrison, and probably knew the speed of their experiments.

Generally like this kind of commission, alchemists often have to go through many recipe improvements and refining techniques adjustments, and it is common for it to take three or four months or even half a year before and after.

Nolen, on the other hand, only took ten days from receiving the commission to refining the formula and refining the sample.

10 days......

When Nolan smiled and took out a bottle of mysterious potion like a purple gemstone and dangled before his eyes, the old wolf finally confirmed that the young alchemist was not teasing him, so he quickly called someone to contact Harrison and set the date for the trial to be tomorrow.

Then Nolan patted him on the shoulder and took him to a tavern across the street from the workshop for a feast, which was called a small celebration in advance.

After a full meal, the old wolf looked at Noren, who was on the other side of the table with his legs on stilts and teeth picking, and couldn't help but sigh:

"You're incredible."

"How?"

"You look young, you are vigorous, and you act flamboyantly, but you are surprisingly reliable, and you have knowledge and talent that is completely out of proportion to your age, unlike any alchemist I have ever met."

"Oh, look at what you said, if you are not angry, can you call a young man?"

"Haha, too." The old wolf smiled and drank a glass to himself, "If this commission can really satisfy Master Harrison, then you don't have to worry about your future glory and wealth, he has never treated any of his allies badly." ”

Harrison...... I'm actually quite curious, how much of this adult's power can rank in Peak City? ”

"Aside from the three neutral organizations of the Mage Tower, the Knight Alliance, and the Alchemy Society, which are independent of the administrative body of the Roland Empire, Lord Harrison's status and power are only under the City Lord's Mansion Baihart Family, and he is firmly in the top three in Linfeng City."

"Isn't the Mercenary Guild also a nominally neutral organization? Could it be that all the mercenaries in Peak City will obey Harrison's dispatch? ”

"No, no, no, Lord Harrison is not only powerful because he is the president of the Mercenary Guild."

The old wolf smiled, "I told you, he also controls the Red Light District and the Black Street, and their family's power has infiltrated all walks of life in Peak City, accumulating a huge amount of resources and wealth that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

"Transcendents are powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they still have to eat, in essence, they are just ordinary people with higher prices and stronger personal abilities, just like a genius like you, don't you also accept the commission to help him do things now?"

"I see, it's the ability to make money." Nolan bowed, "However, being able to master so many resources without being plundered by others is not another skill. ”

"Not really."

The two stood up as they chatted and prepared to leave the tavern, when a knight in a red and white uniform approached them and said to Nolan:

"This gentleman, my young lady wants to talk to you."

The knight's uniform depicts two golden ears of wheat and a horse with its front hooves raised and soaring, the family crest of the Baihat family in the lord's house.

The old wolf looked at Noren in surprise, he didn't expect that this young man, who was an alchemy apprentice not long ago, had already established a relationship with the City Lord's Mansion?

Norton nodded at him, and quietly followed the knight to another box, muttering a little in his heart.

The young lady of the City Lord's Mansion?

He hasn't intersected with anyone from the City Lord's Mansion yet, and if it really has anything to do with it, it's probably something related to Yuna.

Yuna once said that she was going to go out and refuse the invitation of the city lord's mansion, and he thought she had done it, but now she was approached by her former employer.

Could it be that there is something else hidden?

Thinking to himself, he came to another box, where he saw a young girl in a beige tunic dress sitting by the window sipping tea, and her eyes were looking at the Noren Alchemy Workshop across the street.

Sensing Nolan's arrival, the girl turned her head to look at him, glanced at him from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, and said in a slightly stiff tone, "Nolan Wies? ”

"That's my name, don't steal my lines."

Nolan was also polite, walked up to the girl and moved a chair and sat down, "Isn't it common sense to report your name when you first meet, the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion?" ”

The girl didn't seem to expect his first sentence to be this, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and replied a little sullenly: "Evelyn Baihart." ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Evelyn."

Nolan picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, blew and said, "So, what can I help you with?" ”

This eldest lady was also surprised, obviously she was the one she called, but when the person came, she didn't speak, just glared at him viciously with her eyes, as if she wanted to crush the opponent sitting in front of her with momentum first.

Noren glared back inexplicably, don't you say that she looks quite beautiful, with long chestnut hair, big blue eyes, bright and sexy red lips, she still thinks she's a little cute after being stared at for a long time......?

What a handsome girl, but it's a pity that her head is not very smart.

The two silently confronted each other for half a minute, and Evelyn finally lost the battle, looking away a little unnaturally, but her attitude was still not very friendly:

"Ten days ago, did you take in a female knight outside the city?"

"Yes." Nolan took a sip of tea, "I've registered and paid a deposit, this behavior should be reasonable and legal, right?" ”

"Is her name Yuna Aska?" Evelyn began to stare at him viciously again.

"yes, so what?" Nolan frowned, he didn't like people talking to him in a cross-examination tone.

"She's my friend!"

Seeing this, Evelyn's voice suddenly became a little louder, "I don't allow others to bully her!" ”

"Who bullied her?"

"You!"

"Who did you listen to?"

"I found it! I know you put a collar on her. ”

Evelyn's expression was filled with righteous indignation, "When I first learned that she was being taken in, I thought you were her relative, or rather a good person.

"But then I found out that I was wrong, what do you think? Even if she's wounded, she's a real knight, how can you make her wear that slave-like collar! ”

"Hoo ......"

Nolan sighed, piecing together what little patience was left and asked, "Are you really her friend?" ”

"Of course, she was supposed to be my personal guard after graduation!"

"Since you are her friend and you don't allow others to bully her, where were you when she was in prison, and where were you when she was seriously injured and fell to the ground?"

"That's—" Evelynn snapped, "because I haven't gone back yet, if I had been with her at the time......!" ”

"Oh, there's an excuse to make of that." Nolan sneered, "But now? You're back in town, what can you do for your friends?

"Is the City Lord's Mansion ready to go to war against the steppe people? Ready to avenge your friend? Or is your so-called helping just losing your mind and attacking someone who has helped your friend?

"I'm not really a good person, but so what? Do you think I, a powerless alchemist, can force her to be a fifth-order knight? If I really coerced her, how could I let her go to school to communicate with the outside world?

"I made an equivalent exchange with her, I was able to get her back on her feet, I promised to help her get revenge, so she volunteered to put on the collar. Where were you when she was desperate? If it were you, would you be able to fulfill her wishes? ”

"I ......," Evelyn was momentarily speechless.

Not to mention revenge, even the movable prosthetic City Lord's Mansion can't do it, it should be the ancestral secret technique of a certain alchemist family, and it is not so easy to get.

As for waging war against the steppe people and avenging Yuna, this kind of thing is not her opinion.

The decision-making power is in the hands of the current city lord Ivan, although this is his own brother, but for such an important matter, he will not change his mind because of his sister's words.

In other words, she seems to be the eldest lady of the city lord's mansion with a noble status, but she still can't help Yuna's current situation.

She wasn't even as useful as the young alchemist in front of her, at least he could get her out of bed and walk.

Being pointed out by Nolan for a while, Evelyn clenched her fists a little unwillingly, and said to herself: "Then can you help her get revenge?" Didn't you give her a blank check and coax her away? ”

"What I promised will naturally be done, you don't have to worry about it."

Nolan replied lightly, "I will always keep this matter in my heart, even if it doesn't work now and in the future, if it doesn't work in one year, then two years." I can wait for ten years, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for revenge? ”

Evelyn was stunned: "You...... Waited for her for ten years? ”

Nolan was also stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”

"You...... Do you like her? ”

"Tsk, I really can't communicate with the love brain."

Nolan stood up, "If you really care about your friend, I'll take you to see her, and you can ask her how she's doing." And wearing a collar is just a contract, don't make me look like a pervert with a special fetish. ”

I thought that this proposal would satisfy the eldest lady, but I didn't expect her to be silent, hesitated for a while, and said, "No, I'll just take a look at her at the door later." ”

“？” Nolan was happy, "So your relationship isn't that good?" ”

"No!" Evelyn shook her head vigorously, "I just think...... I'm a little sorry for her.

"I thought I could protect her and avenge her no matter how bad it was, but in the few days since I returned to the city, I have learned that things are not so simple.

"I couldn't convince my brother to go to war against the steppes, and I vaguely understood another responsibility he had. But for Yuna, she must be very disappointed.

"She had originally planned to come to the City Lord's Mansion to take up a position, and she had always been proud to be a knight of Peak City, but now, when she needed Peak City's help, the irony was that we couldn't respond to her.

"So I'm scared to see her...... I wanted to take her away, even if she couldn't stand up, it didn't matter, just let me raise her for the rest of my life.

"Uncle Lane told me not to disturb her and let her go about her life. I think that's right, I know she has a lot of self-esteem, and she probably wouldn't accept handouts from friends. Every time I think about it, I feel sick in my heart......"

Evelyn couldn't say any more, and Nolan looked at the depressed young lady, shrugged her shoulders, and walked downstairs.

Leaving the tavern, the eldest lady put on a cloak, covered herself tightly, chased after her, and followed Nolan into the alchemy workshop.

Yuna was practicing her sword in the courtyard, her medium-long blond hair was tied into a neat ponytail, she was wearing a Knight Academy training uniform, the afternoon sun left beads of sweat on her cheeks, and her eyes were still meticulous, and she continued to insist on boring training for several years.

"It's dazzling......"

Evelyn pressed the brim of her hood and muttered, "I can't tell that she's the one who has been hurt like that, and even if it's just herself, does she still intend to get revenge?" ”

"She still has me." Nolan reminded.

"Humph!" Evelyn gave him a blank look, turned and left.

"Don't see her anymore?"

"I'm very busy, too!"

Evelyn didn't look back, "I've already decided, even if the City Lord's Mansion doesn't send troops, I will fight the invaders to the end in my own way!"

"Not just for my friends, but for those who have suffered the same misfortune as her. I will tell them that Ringpeak will not give up on any of its people.

"I ...... Don't want to disappoint anyone who believes in us anymore. ”
