Perfume Alchemist

Ah Hao scratched his head: "Actually, I have wanted to give it to you for a long time. These are things that others gave me, and I have no place to use them. They have been piled up in my space props and they take up a lot of space."

"Who gave you these jewels?" Ilya's expression showed a trace of suspicion.

"It was given by the client. These are mission rewards."

"Oh." Ilya breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had misunderstood Ah Hao.

That's right, these jewelry are for women at first glance, no one would give them to boys specially.

Ah Hao pushed the box forward: "Just accept it. Just take it as a thank you to Xiaoyi for donating so many petals to me."

"Okay, I'll take it. These jewelry are still pretty."

Illya chose from the box, happily picked up a ring inlaid with emeralds and diamonds, and looked at it carefully.

Just at this time, the sound of bluffing came from afar
"Ilya, Ilya. Look at the little amethyst bunny I just squeezed out!. Uh?"

Shirley ran over excitedly holding a rabbit whose whole body was made of purple transparent spar.

However, as soon as she came over, she saw a picture that shocked her pupils:

Ah Hao is opening a luxurious "treasure box".

And Ilya was holding a luxurious ring in her hand, with a shy smile on the corner of her mouth.

And that damned man opposite her!Did he bend his knee just now?
Wouldn't he be kneeling on one knee in the next second? !

"no!"

Shirley let out a shrill howl.

She threw the amethyst rabbit in her hand behind her, and rushed over.

Shirley's hands condensed bright fire brilliance.

She mobilized the energy in her body in the fastest and smoothest way in her life.

Coagulate, compress, solidify, polish!
Shirley spread her hands, and a diamond the size of a baby's head appeared in her hands.The hard cut surface of the diamond reflects the sparkling light.

Shirley held the diamond in front of Illya panting:

"Illya, don't promise him! I can give you any gems you want!"

The corners of Ilya's mouth were raised, but her eyebrows were lowered, showing a rather happy expression: "Um, but, your gemstone will disappear soon."

"And Shirley, how do you want me to wear such a big diamond." The more Illya said, the more she felt funny, and she almost wanted to hold her stomach.

Seeing that Shirley was about to show a pleading expression, Ahao who was on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

He reluctantly closed the lid of the box in his hand: "Xue Li, you seem to have misunderstood."

Xue Li picked up the shivering Amethyst Rabbit from the ground.

"So that's what happened, I thought so."

Shirley wiped the sweat from her forehead: "But Ilya, you are too much! I gave you a gem, but you think it will disappear soon!"

Ilya looked at her playfully: "Isn't it? You can't be considered a real gem."

The speaker is unintentional, listening intentionally.

Like the rabbit in her hand, Shirley drooped her ears: "Then I can't help it, it will disappear when the time is up. No matter how hard I try, I can't change this fact."

Ah Hao, who was listening from the side, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"reality"?
Perhaps this is the biggest difference between his alchemy and arcane magic.

Alchemy is real and permanent, changing the state and nature of matter.

However, Shirley's Gem Secret Technique only created an energy body that was extremely similar to the Gemstone.

Although it has a tangible physical body, it still disintegrates after a certain time limit.

If he wants to change this state, what should he do?
After thinking for a while, Ah Hao said, "Xue Li, how did you get this gem?"

"Eh?" Shirley looked up and thought for a while: "It's just calling a ball of gem energy from behind the door, and then pinching it this way and that, it will take shape according to my wishes."

"Sure enough." Ahao nodded, "Then have you ever tried to cast your gem arcana on real matter?"

Shirley frowned, showing a puzzled look: "Casting gem arcana on the gem? I really tried it, but it didn't work. When the time comes, the camouflage will still fade."

On the contrary, it was Ilya who heard Ahao's meaning first: "What he asked should be, have you ever used your abilities on rough stones or rocks?"

"Wait a minute, I seem to know what you mean." Shirley frowned tightly, showing a look of careful thinking.

She looked at Ahao: "You want me to reproduce the formation of gemstones, right?"

Ah Hao nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean."

Shirley began to talk to herself: "Magma eruption, extrusion metamorphism, transportation of sediment, rock crystallization.
"Making gems, can I do it? It seems difficult, but it's not impossible."

"Anyway, it's still worth a try, right?" Ahao shrugged, "You try it first, and we can give you a reference together."

"That's right." Illya put her hand on the back of Shirley's and said softly:
"With us here, we can discuss any problem together."

Shirley was moved to tears: "Illya~ you are so kind!"

Ah Hao stood aside, propped his forehead with his hands, and fell silent.

Starting with Shirley, the topic somehow became the advanced path of Arcana.

The three of Ah Hao gathered together and had an in-depth and divergent discussion on the development of their respective abilities.

The discussion lasted until late at night before Ahao bid farewell to the sleepy two.

The next day, Ah Hao walked out of the room quite energetically.

Shirley and Ilya both found a way forward.He can't let go of his research on alchemy either!

There are still two puzzles for him to solve, and there are a bunch of alchemy props waiting for him to explore in the warehouse.

But before he could go down the stairs, he saw a dark figure sitting at the breakfast table in his living room, drinking a cup of steaming coffee.

"Morning, sage."

[Shadow] Xia Duo stretched out his leather gloved hand and greeted him from afar.

Ah Hao sighed, and walked down the spiral staircase: "I said, you came too early. And I didn't hear the doorbell, how did you come in?"

"Shadows are everywhere." Xia Duo took a sip of his coffee.

"What a rude fellow."

Xia Duo put down his coffee, and looked at him helplessly: "Hey, there's no need to be so extravagant, right? I came before dawn, and you were sleeping at that time.

"I don't want to wake you up, and you probably don't have the heart to let me wait for you pitifully outside with the cold wind blowing."

Ah Hao sat across from him: "Forget it, forget it, just talk about it if you have anything to say."

Xia Duo straightened his black tie and looked at Ahao seriously: "Our boss, Ulrich, he agrees to see you."
