Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 346 The Land of Orphans
In the moving house, Wende spread a torn cloth on the small wooden table.

"Does any of you know what I found from the attacker just now?"

Ahao leaned over and saw something similar to a family crest - an abstract pattern composed of two battle axes.

"I don't understand." Ahao looked at Shirley and Ilya.

Both of them shook their heads.

"Hey, they're not good people anyway." Wende wiped the rag on the ground casually, "I just saw their spoils. It's three human ears.

"It is estimated that they are some looters who kill people and sell goods."

When Shirley heard about the ears, her face paled a lot: "I only heard that in ancient times, some soldiers would cut off their ears after defeating the enemy. Why does this custom still exist here? It's too barbaric.

"Fortunately, I beat them all away."

Illya turned to look at Shirley: "By the way, why did you suddenly become so powerful at that time?" Even after she was out of combat, this question still deeply puzzled Illya.

Shirley sighed: "[Rejuvenation] Dr. Morris told me a word when he was still in St. Laudos Hospital."

"It's not a curse, it's a blessing."

Shirley pulled off the scarf around her neck a little resignedly, and pulled off the collar a little: "Maybe what he said is right. Anyway, since I woke up, my strength has been improving."

"Now that I think about it, all of this should have been caused by it."

Amethyst reflects the fire in the house, reflecting the sparkling fire.

Ahao stared at the skin on Xueli's neck, which was almost integrated with Amethyst, and suddenly said, "Has its appearance changed? I remember that it looked like a fish before."

Wende said without blinking: "But it's like an eye now."

When Shirley heard the words, she also subconsciously glanced down: "Hey, I haven't even noticed that it really changed."

"Does this have any meaning?" Ilya hurriedly sat next to Shirley, stroking her shoulder pitifully.

"I do not know."

Ah Hao touched his forehead, and felt some inspiration flashed in his mind: "Did this change happen after you came to Zhuo De?"

Shirley pulled up her collar, thought about it, and said, "It should be. I saw it once when I was in Agadi, and it was fish."

"So the region can affect the shape of the pattern on your body? Wow, this is pretty cool." Wende raised his eyebrows with a smirk.

"What's going on here?" Ilya looked at Ahao in puzzlement.

Ah Hao waved his hand slightly to her, and looked out of the window again: "Maybe this is why Sol is in a hurry to ask us to find him."

"Wait a little longer, we'll see him soon."

After the pack animal snorted and uttered a long cry, he stopped on the spot and didn't move any more.

Ah Hao jumped out of the RV first.He saw the beast of burden parked beside a large two-story wooden house, gnawing at a tall cedar tree leisurely.

He turned around and said, "It's the stop, it won't go any further."

Wende got out, still holding his map in his hand: "It's okay, we are very close to our destination"

Ah Hao tore off his map: "Don't look at it, isn't that what it is?"

Yi Liya and Shirley got out of the wooden door and happened to see the direction of Ahao's finger.

In the plain below the towering snow-capped mountains ahead, lies a quiet small village.The meandering river originating from the snow mountain flows through the small village, bisecting it.

The buildings in the village are also very characteristic, each of them looks like an upside-down boat, and the slope of the roof is also amazing.

Shirley asked in bewilderment, "Why is the house here so weird?"

Ah Hao guessed: "It should be to block the snow. With this design, the snow will not be easily squeezed on the roof."

Ilya immediately understood: "It's really possible that this is the case. The wisdom of the people should not be underestimated."

"Let's go." Wende urged, and then took the lead to walk forward, "Although it looks close, you will know that it is far away when you walk. If you don't go, it will be dark."

Xue Li glanced back: "This beast of burden, are we leaving it alone?"

"After it rests for a while, it will run back by itself. The boss has already said in advance."

"Ok."

Zhuo De's sky was indeed getting dark very fast.When the four of them set off, there was still a dark red glow in the sky, and within two steps, the sky darkened rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ah Hao found out [Xinghai Shimmer] hidden in the ring, and held it high in his hand.

This crystal ball exudes a lustrous and non-glare bright light, illuminating the road ahead.

Fortunately, this road is not complicated. There are only sparse coniferous forests around, and there is a trail opened up by the predecessors at the foot.The four of them followed this trail and rushed to the village with the stars and the moon.

Not far from the entrance of the village, a bald man with a beard looked back at them.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

When he laughed, the two long beards on his face also trembled.

Ah Hao glanced at him in surprise: "It's you."

The person in front of them was the traveler they met at the exit of the underground bridge market in the morning.

It's just that what Ah Hao didn't figure out was: "How did you get here so quickly?"

"You're not too slow." The strong man stroked his bald head, with a simple and honest look on his face.But seeing that he didn't answer his question directly, Ah Hao knew that he was not a stupid person.

He stretched out his strong arms towards Ahao: "Let's get to know each other, Bram. You came to this [Hometown of Orphans] to find someone, right?"

Ah Hao was intimidated by this place name for a moment.

"I'm Ah Hao. We are indeed here to find someone, but not some orphan."

Brom smiled heartily: "Also, I don't come to look for orphans either."

Ahao gestured to the three people behind him, and they walked up quickly, getting acquainted with Bram one by one.

Ilya asked curiously, "Why is this place called the Home of Orphans?"

"Because the person who manages this village is very kind-hearted, she has collected many homeless orphans. Over time, this place has been called the Home of Orphans. I don't even remember what it was originally called!" Brown laughed. for a moment.

"Are you a Drord?" Shirley asked hesitantly, staring at Brum's tattoo on his bare upper body.

"Yes."

"Why do you have this tattoo on your body?"

"Cough, this is actually a secret technique. This tattoo can make people resist the cold." Brom's tone was mysterious, but Shirley suddenly realized it.

Bloom is quite chatty and interesting.With the addition of a native of Zhuode, many questions accumulated by the four of them have also been answered.

"Okay, I'm going to the hotel to find old friends. Let's say goodbye here." Bram waved his hand with a smile, and walked silently to the left.

Before they knew it, everyone had already entered this [Hometown of Orphans].

After taking Bram away, Wende, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Do you think it's him?"

Ahao shook his head: "No. And the tattoo on his body is a sheep, not two axes. According to common sense, they should not be in the same place."

"Are you talking about the attack?"

Ahao and Wende nodded to Illya at the same time.

Even Shirley followed their train of thought this time: "I think it's just a coincidence. This big brother looks pretty good. But as long as we can reunite with Sol, we don't need to worry about any conspiracy."

"You're right, we really should find out where Saul is first."

Looking around, Ah Hao felt that these ship-like buildings looked exactly the same from the outside.

"Remember, Thor said that the place he was going to was the Frost Fortress, but this doesn't look like a fortress."

Wende took out the map he carried with him again: "The Frost Fortress should be on the snowy mountain behind us. There is no Orphan Country on the map."

The four looked up at the snow mountain behind them at the same time.The snow-capped mountains were so high that they couldn't see the top, and under the thick night, they couldn't see the situation on the snow-capped mountains clearly.

It was already dark, and the Orphan's Hometown was not as grand as Navia, where burning braziers could be placed everywhere.There are only some fire lights in front of every house here.

Ah Hao noticed that there were abnormally many half-grown children here.They walked happily through the streets and looked at them curiously from time to time.

In addition to children, there are many guards in black armor here.The presence of heavily armed guards in a small village is already a bit strange.

What's even more strange is that none of these guards came up to inquire about the situation as if they hadn't seen them.They did not accept any interrogation when they entered the village.Ah Hao didn't want to understand what these guards were doing.

Shirley found an empty corner and took out the sandbox: "Uncle Saul, we're at the foot of the mountain. Can you hear me? Hello?"

Ah Hao knew that she wanted to try it casually, so he didn't stop her.

Unexpectedly, her call was answered.

Sol's vague voice came out: "Can you hear me, can you hear me?"

Ilya immediately moved to Shirley's side: "You can hear me, we've arrived at the home of orphans!"

"Great! I'll be right there."

Sol's voice was still a little unclear, but everyone could still understand the general meaning.

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I don't know if it's because the distance is closer, and the sound can be transmitted again."

Wende sat cross-legged on the ground depressed: "The transmission distance of the sand sound box is very long. The sound transmission from Agadi to Erak can be synchronized. I think it should be that the sand sound box on Sol's side was made by himself. Broken. I'll give you a whole new one later."

Ah Hao glanced at him with a smile: "That's good."

Thunder struck the dry land.

"Boom!"

A bright electric light suddenly rose in the dark night, which shocked everyone.

Immediately afterwards, another thunderbolt landed.This thunderbolt was impartial, and it happened to strike right in front of everyone's eyes.

The blond Sol put one hand on the ground and stood up with a smile: "Is the journey going well?"

"Some twists and turns." Ahao said with some indifference, "Why didn't you come back to Navia?"

Shirley also followed up and asked: "And what's wrong with your sandbox?! Why didn't the sound come out when I said a word before?"

"Sorry sorry."

Sol laughed awkwardly, "I made a mistake, blame me. I shouldn't have come here alone in the morning."

"I had a fight with someone just now, and I was almost caught again. That's why I hurriedly asked you to come here to save me"

"But I'm out of trouble now! So there's nothing wrong with it."

"what?"

Wen De stared at him blankly: "You have a lot of information in just a few words."

Yi Liya said thoughtfully: "Can you trap you? Then this person must be very powerful."

"It's really powerful. But it's a long story, let's find a place to rest first."

Sol waved his hand and led everyone away quickly.

The two thunderbolts just now caused a lot of commotion, and many people have already held up torches to look for it.

The five settled in the [Lost Home Hotel] where the candles were flickering.

This ordinary country inn, both in decoration and dishes, is much worse than the furnace inn in Navia.

But everyone is not in the mood to care about this.After filling their stomachs casually, everyone gathered in a room.The four surrounded Saul, listening to his story quietly.

".After I flew to Frost Fortress in the morning, I went directly to the owner of the fortress, Sandra. She can be regarded as the most famous holy spirit in the entire Zhuo De."

"Holy Spirit?"

Saul looked at Ahao: "It can be understood as a highly respected saint, but also has some magical abilities. By the way, her ability is to enter dreams."

"I asked her about Shirley's situation, but she got into a fight with me without saying a word. The whole situation is similar to yesterday, when we went to Claudia."

"... What makes me even more angry is that I didn't even hit her." Sol's tone was a little embarrassed, but also a little inexplicable.

Wende sat cross-legged and said with interest: "Can you tell me the details? What ability does she use? Dreaming doesn't sound like she has the ability to fight."

"I didn't know until now. It turns out that dreaming is only her most inconspicuous ability." Sol narrowed his eyes while the candle was flickering.

"She is better at using the power of ice. And her ability is extremely strong, she can be regarded as the most powerful person in Zhuo De. She took advantage of my unpreparedness and directly sealed me in the solid ice.

"But she was too arrogant, she blocked me and left calmly."

"Since I suffered a loss last time, I have deliberately found a lot of targeted props. Now in the whole world, there are not many people who trap me." Sol grinned, showing his gleaming teeth.

"So your sandbox broke at that time?" Wende seemed to have a different focus from everyone else.

Sol quickly took out his sandbox: "Yes. I just said a few words, and it was frozen. I knew I wouldn't take it out. I repaired it for a long time and it was barely usable. But the distance seems shortened a lot."

Wende took the crooked sandbox with some water stains on it.With just one glance, he threw it behind him.

"It can't be repaired, it's hopeless." Wende took out two more sandboxes from his pocket and handed them to him, "I'll give you an extra spare."

"Tsk tsk, little guy from the Northon family, you really look like your grandma." Saul tsk tsk twice, but still took the sandbox.

Shirley took the opportunity to ask, "How did you get out of trouble?"

"Secret, can't tell."

Ahao also asked like beads: "So you went this time, didn't you gain anything?"

"There are gains." Saul looked at Ahao seriously, "I found that the rumors should be true."

"Sandra, that bitch, is hiding a shocking secret."

"It is precisely because of Shirley's matter that she will reveal her hidden secrets, and she doesn't want anyone to know."
