Stepping up to the fifth floor, unlike the previous floors with countless workbenches, the rest of the area is divided into hundreds of rooms of different sizes, except for a surprisingly large desk at the top.

No sooner had Solo and the others reached their desks than a short, thin old man came out of the nearest room.

With a white goatee, sunken eyes, a pair of metal-rimmed monocles on his right eye, and an old-fashioned peaked hat on top of his head, this dry little old man is Abraham, the president of the Alchemists' Guild and known as the "vampire in human skin".

"Oh, hehe, no one has been here for a long time, I didn't expect so many people to come here today, please sit down, please take a seat, one, serve tea to a few guests." ”

Abel's words fell, and a silver robot with a round head and a round head, just over the coffee table, slowly slid in front of Tho and the others.

"How many guests, what do you need to drink, black tea or green tea?"

Some playful children's voices came from the mouth of One, raising their round heads, and staring at Solo with big golden eyes, waiting for their answers.

"Ah, Dad, this little guy is so cute, Lan Lan wants to touch it. ”

Solo crouched down, and just as Lan Lan's little hand was about to touch One, Domina suddenly stood in front of her.

"Lan Lan, don't touch it. ”

"Ah, why?" Lan Lan's face was full of puzzlement.

"Hmph" Domina turned to the skinny little Mike and snorted coldly, "Old man, you still want to deceive people with this method, no way." Lan Lan, don't touch it, it's ten gold coins if you touch it, and the tea here is not a good thing, a cup of one hundred gold coins. ”

"Ahh

"Well, I'm disappointed that I didn't get anyone. Domina looked at Abraham with a smug expression, and the latter paused, giving Domina a closer look.

"Hey, you little girl looks familiar. ”

Domina said angrily: "Hmph, of course it's familiar, I came to you with my dad ten years ago, and you beat me up with this damn robot." ”

"Ten years ago?" Abel glanced at Domina again, and suddenly understood, "Oh, it turns out that you are the savage little Domina of the Levi family, I said why did someone come, and that guy from Levi didn't report it." Tsk, I haven't seen you for ten years and you're so old, come, let grandpa hug me. Abel said as he stretched out his hands to hug Domina's thighs (the height difference between the two =_=).

Domina dodged sideways to Abel's left and kicked her right foot.

bang

After completing the difficult action of two and a half weeks of air rotation and a front flip of 720 degrees, Abel finally landed "perfectly" with a dog-eating action.

"Ouch, my old waist, it hurts to death, help me. "Abel lay on the ground and kept on it.

Solo was about to help him, but was stopped by Domina.

"Old man, don't think I don't know, the clothes on your body can't even hurt you in the slightest, and you don't want to touch the porcelain. ”

Abel, who felt bored, got up and patted the dust on his body and said, "The little girl of the Levi family, after so many years, her temper is still so hot." ”

"Each other, after all these years, you are still the same annoying. Domina rolled her eyes.

"Okay, what are you looking for me? As the president of the Alchemist's Guild, I'm very busy, so I'll talk about anything. ”

Sawong hurriedly spoke: "President Abraham, my name is Sawong, and I have something I want to consult you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Abraham's slightly cloudy eyes immediately flashed with a terrifying light, and he trotted all the way to the other side of the desk, sat down in a chair that could be lifted, adjusted the height to the point of overlooking several people, and coughed lightly, his face full of seriousness.

"My rule here: 1000 gold coins for a question, whether I answer it or not, you have to pay. Ask a question and give money once, give money first and then answer. ”

As soon as she heard this rule, before Solo could speak, Domina exploded first: "Stinky old man, don't go too far, ten years ago, you only charged 200 gold coins for a problem here, and now it's five times more, you are blackmailing." ”

Abel smiled: "You don't look at how much the price of Dohanikz has risen in the past ten years, at that time, a gold coin is now sold for more than a dozen gold, and the problem of charging him 1,000 gold coins is still a five-fold discount on your father's face, otherwise a problem is 2,000 gold coins." ”

"You ......"

"I accept your request, here is 1w gold coins, please accept it. Solo took out a dimensional bag containing 1w gold and respectfully handed it over.

"Soou, why did you agree to this old scoundrel's request, you can't waste money like this, Minnie, you take care of him. Domina couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw that Sawo had compromised.

Miranda sighed and said, "Solo has been waiting for the opportunity for too long, and he can't even take his life for his father, let alone a few gold coins." ”

"Very good, my Abel likes a simple young man like you (fat sheep), 1w gold, you can ask 10 questions. Abel glanced at this young man with great satisfaction, and the movement of collecting money in his hand was not slow at all.

"Thank you for your accomplishment, the first question I want to ask is, do you know the Water of Resurrection?"

"Of course I do. It's something that can resurrect the dead. ”

Solo hurriedly asked again, "Then do you know where there is or who you know who can make the water of resurrection?"

Abel smiled and stretched out two fingers: "I have to count this You asked two questions, first of all, I don't know where this kind of thing is, and secondly, I don't know who can make this magical potion." ”

"Ahh

"Hehehe, young man, don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet. I don't know anyone who can make the Water of Resurrection, but that doesn't mean others don't know. ”

Abel's words gave Sawn hope again: "Please tell me who that person is. ”

"Of course it's okay to tell you, but I'll have to charge you 5,000 gold for this problem. ”

"Okay, no problem. Solo nodded without hesitation, and Domina on the side was about to scold Abel for sitting on the ground for such discredited behavior, but Miranda grabbed her and shook her head.

"If there's anyone I know who might know someone who configures the Water of Resurrection, it's my teacher. He is a palace-level alchemy master, an existence that truly stands at the pinnacle of alchemy. Talking about the teacher, Abel's eyes were full of incomparable reverence.

"And where is your teacher, and can I meet him?"

Abel stretched out two fingers again: "Even if you asked two questions, to be honest, my teacher is no longer there, so you can't see it if you want to." Okay, the 1w gold has been used up, young people, if you still want to continue to ask questions, continue to pay. ”

Able stretched out his withered palm, and it seemed to him that the young man would definitely ask some other relevant questions, so that he could extort a lot more money.

However, the blue-haired young man on the other side was in a different situation at this time, his blue pupils were completely discolored at this time, and his mouth kept muttering: "Why, why ......"

"Sawo, Sawo, what's wrong with you, Sawo......"

Miranda shook Sawo's body vigorously, but he just repeated the "why", and the light in his eyes became more and more dim, as if he had lost his soul all at once.

"Why, uh!!"

Suddenly, Solo roared unwillingly to the sky, and tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes, slashing across his cheeks and dripping onto Lan Lan's face in his arms.

"Dad doesn't cry, Dad doesn't cry, is Lan Lan angry with Dad, Lan Lan will listen to Dad's words in the future, Dad don't cry, okay. The little girl stretched out her little hand to wipe away Soou's tears, and there were tears in her big green eyes.

Miranda stood aside and didn't speak, he knew how hard this news was for Saw, from the beginning of the Starry Night Forest with the strength of a mid-rank warrior to fight for Vanuhagi, to the various efforts made in Fantuan Star to return to Daster, and then in the Hanhai Star to challenge the hundredfold gravity, all for that small hope, and now that already small hope, with Abel's words, has been completely shattered.

"Tho, cheer up, what does the man cry like. Just because this old man doesn't know doesn't mean that others don't know, let's go to other places and ask, I still don't believe it, does Dohanikz know more than he does. Domina comforted Abel and glared at Abel angrily.

"Hehe, I don't dare to say anything else, but when it comes to alchemy, except for my teacher, I, Abraham, have never served anyone. I said that no one knows who can prepare the Water of Resurrection, then no one really knows. ”

The little old man's words completely made Solo fall into a collapse, and the purple Shengyan burned unconsciously, and a wave of despair began to spread around.

Even Miranda couldn't stand it anymore, shook Sawo's shoulder and said loudly, "Hey, Sawo, sober up." ”

"Get out of the way!!"

At this time, Abraham, who had been watching the play on the sidelines, suddenly roared, and a transparent crystal ball was held in his palm.

"Young man, put your hand on this ball. Abraham said with a serious face.

So'ou turned a deaf ear, his empty eyes unwavering.

"Just put your hand on it, and I'll tell you who can make the water of resurrection. ”

This time, Tho's body finally shook, and his right hand slowly fell onto the crystal ball.

Zheng

The dazzling red light came out, and after only a second, the red light immediately turned orange, and after another second, the orange immediately turned into a faint yellow, and then every second the crystal ball changed a color, after experiencing the five colors of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, the color of the crystal ball suddenly changed to a brilliant white mang, and the white mang became more and more prosperous.

Click

I only heard a crisp sound, and cracks appeared on the crystal ball. There were more and more cracks, and the bright light was already invisible, and finally, the crystal ball was overwhelmed and exploded with a "bang".

Abraham's eyes widened in disbelief at what he saw, and when he reacted, he burst out laughing, "Hahaha, I found it, I finally found it." ”

After the excitement, Abraham solemnly announced: "Son, from now on you are my only student of Abraham, and I will make you the greatest alchemist in Dohanikz." ”

Miranda and Domina looked at the crazy little old man in confusion, wondering why he suddenly said that.
