[[[CP|W:300|H:140|A:L]]] In the evening, in a small room in a tavern in the city of Arant, several magicians dressed in different colored robes gathered around an old low table with coffee, portraits of people, and a crystal ball the size of a leather ball.

One of them picked up a stack of portraits on the table and flipped through them, and said, "Boss Mahlud, are these alchemists really that powerful......? I've never heard of this man named Alchemy Hurrington. ”

The eldest known as Maha Rudd was a female magician in a red robe among them, and her head was now in the hood of her dress, and her true face could not be seen clearly. Maha Lud looked at the portrait of Hurrington on the table, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "This person is not very famous, I have seen him in a certain union, his alchemy is very distinctive, and his ability is not inferior to other famous people here." ”

"We believe in your situation, and if you say so, then he must have real skills. However, you said that his alchemy is distinctive, is there anything different?"

"Wait. Another person next to him interjected, "I think I've heard of Alchemy Hurington. I remember that in a book, there was a mention of an alchemist more than 120 years ago, whose name was also Alchemy Hurrington. This man proposed the "New Formula Theory of Alchemy", which was a sensation at the time. But later, this paper was only like its name, only staying at the theoretical stage, and it was not actually feasible, so it didn't take long for everyone to gradually forget about this person. ”

"Yes, I remember what you said, it seems that there is a book like this, I saw it in a magic union somewhere. I've read the contents, and although the theory proposed is novel, it is too unrealistic. The most hovery alchemist in that book turned out to be an attributeless mage who was not friendly to any element. ”

"Attributeless mage, how can this be. Another person said: "Everyone on Shijie knows that alchemy is absolutely inseparable from the action of the elements. And the more control you have over the elements, the more you can refine the materials to create the best quality work. If you leave the affinity control of the elements, then how can you alchemy?"

The man before said, "I don't know about this either." I only read a little bit of that book, but I didn't read it because it was so absurd. ”

At this time, everyone looked at Maha Lud.

Maha Lud raised his head: "Yes, this person named Alchemy Hurrington, he claims to be the descendant of the alchemist one hundred and twenty years ago, and is a high-level magician with no attributes. ”

Everyone was shocked: "So, can he really use pure magic power without attributes to alchemy?"

"No, of course not. Maha Lud said: "As I just said, refining matter and materials is indispensable for the role of the ten elements in it. The method used by this person is to control the elements of each system through the assistance of the elemental magic array. ”

"This method is sometimes used by ordinary alchemists. Because each person's affinity for the elements is different, some elements cannot be controlled and cannot achieve the desired effect, so at this time, they can be indirectly assisted by accumulating magic arrays of different elements. However, the indirect effect achieved by this method is always inferior to the elements under its direct control. The best alchemists exercise absolute control over the elements to achieve the most satisfying state. ”

Maha Lud said: "Yes. But I've seen him alchemy, and the things he has refined are really good. Anyway, these people are a threat to our jihua. We are not here to pass the finals, but to win the first place. Tell your men to go down and let your people pay attention to whether these people are really here. Then we will go through the preliminaries and the semi-finals to see if the abilities of these people are really a threat to us, and if so, we will do everything we can to prevent them from participating in the finals. ”

"Boss Maha Lud, are you worried that with your ability and our cooperation, you won't be able to get this first place?"

Maha Lud said: "Of course I have confidence in you, in my own strength. However, only the first place in the opportunity to study in the Sacred Garden for one year is eligible, and if you miss it, the next time will have to wait until two years later. I promised that I would share with you what I learned in the Sacred Garden, so there must be no mistakes. ”

"Hmph, don't worry. It's not the first time we've worked together, nothing can go wrong, and whoever threatens our Jihua won't be in the finals!"

"Speaking of which, the alchemists of the Deep Sea Mercenary Regiment made a lot of noise this afternoon, and now the guests in the taverns and bars outside are talking about them. ”

"It's okay, this kind of second-rate alchemy team, we don't have to pay attention to it yet. ”

"Hehe, too, hehehe......"

......

It's past eight o'clock in the evening. In the banquet hall of Caesar's Manor, from time to time, a variety of elegant repertoire was heard, and nobles, gentlemen, and ladies were exchanging, and this kind of banquet was a good time for the upper class people to get to know each other.

After a while, the hedron light in the banquet room suddenly dimmed, and the music stopped. A nobleman shouted loudly: "Please, our protagonist today, Princess Otirette Ishubeti Alice of the Demon Moon Empire is here!"

Alice, dressed in a beautiful white evening dress, appeared on the stone steps of the circular staircase, and was slowly descended from the stone steps by the ice childish demon in a black dress on the side, supporting Alice's right hand with her left arm. This time, Bing Zhiyi has become a companion, but he doesn't care about this kind of thing.

The meeting room burst into applause. "Oh, beautiful, Your Highness Princess, you are so beautiful. The nobles and ladies who waited at the bottom of the stairs saluted, and the gorgeous and beautiful words of praise were endless.

Caesar Ho Ho smiled and stepped forward and said, "It is ......our honor for Her Royal Highness Princess Alice to come to Cosirua and our city of Arante," he said, and the banquet continued, and the sound of music sounded again.

Alice, under the recommendation of Caesar, got to know the upper echelons of the banquet one by one.

Caesar said, "Your Royal Highness, these two are the dukes and duchess I mentioned to you. ”,

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness Princess. ”

"Me too. Alice said.

Caesar pointed to the side and said, "That one over there is the Duke's son Wright, and he is also the favorite to win the alchemy competition this year." ”

The Duchess beckoned and called her son, who was chatting with the lady, over.

Wright bowed and said, "Your Royal Highness, Honorable Princess." His voice was soft and magnetic.

Alice looked at the young man in his twenties in front of her, and said secretly: "Wow, this person is so handsome, even more handsome than my brother." He asked, "Are you also an alchemist?"

Wright nodded: "In the city of Arante, almost everyone is an alchemist, and of course the son of me, the duke, is also, Your Highness the Princess. ”

"Uncle Caesar said that your alchemy skills are very good, and you can win this alchemy competition. I saw someone performing alchemy on the street today, a pile of ore powder and the like, in their hands it was like magic, and in a moment it turned into a shiny armor, could you please show it for me. Alice said.

Wright nodded slightly again and said, "Lord Caesar has won the prize." ”

The duchess and duchess laughed and said: "He is very willing to show alchemy to Her Royal Highness the princess, but to complete an alchemy, especially high-level alchemy, not only requires a lot of utensils and materials, but also takes a long time, I'm afraid the princess will see it today, it will not work." ”

"yes. Wright said: "Another day, I will definitely make a beautiful and practical set of jewelry for the princess." ”

"Oh, then I'll xiexie you first. Alice laughed.

Wright looked at the Bing Zhixiao next to him and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you haven't introduced us to this one next to you." I heard Master Caesar say, "This gentleman is your teacher, princess?"

"Uh-huh. Alice took Ice Child's hand and said, "He is my master, Celeste Ice Child. ”

Wright said: "I've heard this name, and it seems that I was a wanted criminal in the Demon Moon Empire before. ”

"Wanted!" the duchess were a little surprised, they didn't seem to know anything about it.

Alice said, "Yes, but it was a misunderstanding, and now the wanted warrant has been revoked." ”

The duchess laughed, "I see. However, since he can become the teacher of Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, then this young gentleman must be a very capable person. ”

"Mother, you don't know. Wright said: "This Mr. Bing Childish Evil is one of the few magicians in the mainland." ”

"Magician!"

Wright said to Bing Zhi: "I have always paid close attention to those who are really powerful on the mainland, and I heard that the fourteen-year-old boy wanted by the Demon Moon Empire has already become a magician of the ice system, and I have always wanted to meet this young man. I'm really glad to see you at Lord Caesar's mansion today, hello, Mr. Ice Child. As he spoke, his friend Haode stretched out his hand.

"I'm glad to meet you, too, Mr. Wright. ”

Caesar said: "Duke and Duchess, please take care of it, I have to introduce other people to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"You please. ”

After some boring introductions, the dance party began, and Alice naturally became the object of frequent invitations. Bing Zhixiao took a piece of white bread from the dining table, took a drink, and hid on the balcony outside the window to watch the stars.
