Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 5 The Secret of the Door
Agadí, lower town, smoky abyss bar.

The reason for the smoke was that Wende smoked his pipe again, and he said in a low voice:

"Every Agadi has heard a story.

"It is said that infinite power has always been hidden in the human heart, containing all the wisdom of the ancestors.

"But that power and wisdom are closed by a door, a door in the heart.

"And Agadhi's heroic predecessors, who found a way to open that door. They all became legends of all kinds of heroism and greatness.

"Just push that door open, and you can wield magical powers, possess all sorts of uncanny abilities, and make matter or elements do your bidding.

"And this group of people who can push open the door are collectively called
Arcane Master! "

"Sounds like an interesting story."

"It's not a story, it's a documentary. Arcane masters are real." Wende looked directly at Ahao, "And once you become an arcane master, you can take over part of the arcane star gates and get in touch with the city's real source of wealth , and become a [big man] that everyone needs to look up to."

Ahao was a little surprised and unbelievable.Agadi's jobs that are slightly related to the Offa Stargate have enviable high salaries.

If he could take over the Arcane Stargate—even if it was part of it, how much wealth and power would be like that, he couldn't even imagine it.

"How do you know so much, Wend?"

Wende took a deep breath of the pipe: "Because I had the chance to open that door, but I failed."

The smoke he exhaled seems to have a hint of sadness.

"But I think you have the ability, you can push open that door." He made a gesture of spraying perfume with his hand.He saw great potential in Ahao's perfume.

"Believe me, when you open the door, you can see a world that you have never seen before."

He stretched out his hand to Ahao: "How about it, are you coming?"

In a pungent, smoky, dimly lit bar.However, Ah Hao clearly saw a bright road spreading out in front of him.

He held Wende's hand tightly.

"Okay!" His voice trembled with hope, "So, what should I do now?"

"First, we have to go somewhere."

Wende looked up, his gaze seemed to penetrate the ceiling and reach Agadi's upper city.

When he came to the upper city, Ahao saw Wende's car, a very cool wheeled motorcycle.

Wind is almost sitting on a huge wheel with a powerful engine and luxurious cushions.

"Damn, Wende, this car is so cool. How rich are you?" Ahao had seen this motorcycle in the window of the commercial street.There were so many zeros on the label that he didn't dare to count them.

Wende smiled and showed his white teeth: "Don't be surprised so early. As I said, I want to show you a world that you have never seen before. Come on, get in the car!"

He patted the bucket next to the car.

Amidst the roar, the motorcycle sped along the spacious streets of Agadi.

The wind was blowing, but Ah Hao couldn't suppress his curiosity: "Where are we going?"

Wende had already put on the goggles, he turned his head and said, "Go to my house!"

"Why are you going to your house?"

"Let my grandma see you!"

"Your grandma?"

"She's a formidable person, you'll know it when you see her."

Soon, the motorcycle brought them to their destination.

Although this car has already given a hint, Ah Hao still didn't expect him to come to such a place.

A huge garden style estate.

Under the sunshine in the afternoon, the flowers in the manor showed their charm to the fullest.A row of fine buildings sits in the spacious estate.

This manor may only be lived by real nobles.

Ahao began to recollect what Wende said in the bar, maybe this is where Agadi's [big shot] lives?
In front of the elegant iron gate, the old man who watched the gate shouted in surprise when he saw them:
"Master Wende! You're back!" As he spoke, he quickly turned the turntable to open the door.

"Master Wende?" Ahao looked at Wende in disbelief, as if he wanted to get to know him again.

Hey, don't tell me.Wende, who was originally dressed as a bartender, became more elegant in this car and in front of this manor.

"En." Wende responded perfunctorily to the two of them at the same time.Ah Hao felt that he seemed a little absent-minded.

After parking the car, the two got out of the car and walked towards a flat road.Wende smelled more nervous the closer he got to the castle-like house ahead.

"What's the matter, aren't you going to introduce your family? Just lure me in like this? Master Wende."

Wende finally smiled: "Okay, don't tease me. You are standing in the Northon family's manor now. And I am just the most inconspicuous person in this family."

"Even so, it's exaggerated enough. If you don't enjoy life at home, why go to the downtown to open a bar?"

Wende shrugged his shoulders, "As I said, I am a loser." There was a deep emotion in the words.

In silence, the road seems too long.

The two finally reached the door, and the two maids who got the news from nowhere waited for a long time.

They respectfully opened the door.

A lady in a complicated long dress approached.

"Hey, look, isn't this our waste Wende? He also brought back a little boy, for a change?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke extremely mean words, and Ah Hao frowned deeply.

Wende said blankly: "Auntie, I have something to ask grandma today, please get out of the way."

Hearing the word grandma, the mean lady showed a rather apprehensive expression. "Hmph, you are relying on your grandma. People like you should only stay in the muddy pits of the lower city."

Wen De ignored her, pulled Ahao over, and walked in with a dull head.

Ah Hao was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the various luxurious decorations along the way.

After staying away from the mean woman at the door and the servants who are always walking around,

Ahao immediately said: "Is there something wrong with her? Just ignore your aunt, Wende, you are a good person."

Wende can't show his trademark hearty smile now.

"Hey, that's why I don't want to stay in the Northon family. Losers will only be treated coldly here.

"And my aunt, she is indeed a nuisance, she just wants to use words to stimulate me to leave, so that her son can get more wealth from the Northon family."

"You were talking about losers just now, what exactly did you fail?"

"It's the door, I didn't open my door."

Ah Hao understood, what he was talking about was the door in his heart, the one with magical power when opened.

"Since it's the door in your heart, how do others know whether you can push it?"

"Hehe, my grandma naturally has a solution. By the way, have I told you that my grandma is a powerful arcanist."

"You said it the first time. Are we going to find your grandma next?"

"Well, she may be the only one in this family who treats me well. If all goes well, she can let you see the door."

As the two of them got deeper, the number of servants who had been busy walking around finally decreased.

Beside a sunny patio garden, Wende went up alone and said something to an old nun who was guarding the door with her hair tied up in a bun.

The old mammy entered the room behind her, and quickly came out to have a word with Wende.

When Wende walked towards Ah Hao, he finally showed a little joy: "Grandma promised to see you. Let's go to the chapel first."

Ah Hao followed nervously, "What will happen then?"

Wende continued mysteriously: "I can't tell, but it's very simple. You just need to try to push the door. If you can push it, it will work. If you can't push it, you won't be able to push it."

Wen De led Ahao around the big house, finally walked out and entered a small church next to the house.

The church is not big, but there are many stained glass windows in it.Under the sunlight, these glass windows line the church very beautifully.

"There is a church at home, what kind of family is this!"

"Our family is not considered the top family in Agadi. Just open the door, and you have the opportunity to buy a big manor."

The two casually found a seat among the rows of wooden seats and sat down.

Wende said: "I can only help you so far, Ahao, and I will rely on you for the rest."

"You have helped me a lot, Wende, I don't even know how to repay you."

"Hahaha," Wende patted Ahao on the back, "What's the repayment, I just want to give my friend a hand."

"Thank you, Old Wen." Ahao felt very lucky to have a real friend.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Why? Are you not going to wait for your grandma?"

"I'm ashamed to see her. You can wait for me next to my car. I haven't been here for a long time. I'm going to tidy up my room."

"Ok."

"I hope you can give me good news later!" Wende walked away gracefully after hammering Ahao's chest.

Ahao was the only one left sitting in the church, quietly looking at the magnificent murals in front of him.

Like a devout believer waiting for divine revelation.
