Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 643: Is he a very strong person?

This brass ring does not look special from the outside, nor does it have complicated patterns or engravings. The only unique thing about it is that although it is a newly refined prop, it has an air of ageing and simplicity, as if it has been in the long river of time for a long time. Even the traces of oxidation and abrasion on the surface of the ring are so clear that it does not seem fake.

Rolena waved her hand gently, and the brass ring in the alchemical cauldron flew into her hand. She then handed the ring to Lingge who was waiting on the side. The young man took it and asked, "So, this is the tool you mentioned that can help us accurately locate the next young queen? How do we use it?"

"Of course it has to be used together with Miss Saint Shallia's [Destiny Beacon], so it's not convenient to show it now." Rolena smiled and said, "Let's talk about it in the evening when Miss Saint Shallia is free."

Saint Charleja was teaching a religious theory course to a few unfortunate little girls in a newly built classroom. Although the teaching effect was not ideal, no one dared to skip class because a certain countess was watching closely. Speaking of which, the classroom was said to be built according to the specifications of Tianxin Church, but after it was built, Linger had not visited it yet.

Maybe it's because it will bring back his memories of the past. As we all know, humans are the creatures that are most unable to withstand memories, even someone as rational as Lingge.

"Then I'll go back first."

Lingge said that he came to the workshop just to take away the props he needed. Now that his goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to stay here any longer.

Rolena had no intention of trying to keep him, so she nodded and said, "Okay, please take care, Mr. Lingge. I have other tools to refine, so I won't send you off."

As she spoke, Rorona pushed her wheelchair to the workbench and prepared the materials needed for the next alchemy process.

This is?

Test subject No. 1137 failed. Based on the experience from the last time, we chose to mix the pseudo dragon blood potion with the ground stratum corneum of the four-tailed scorpion, but it seemed to have the opposite effect. The rainbow neutralizer was not enough to eliminate the conflict between the two, but instead made the condition worse.

……

What other props does she want to refine?
Linger was a little curious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He put the ring away and turned to leave. However, when he passed a cabinet by the wall, he suddenly stopped and saw the items stored inside through the transparent glass window: some test tubes and glass beakers, containing liquids similar to medicine. There was a label under each test tube and beaker, and something was recorded on the label in neat handwriting -

Test subject No. 1136 failed. Although the small-leaved purple orchid was added as a superior substitute for the snake heart grass, its hematopoietic effect was insufficient and it did not have the expected therapeutic effect on heart failure.

Linger's expression changed slightly, as if he understood something. But he did not ask Rolena immediately, but continued to look down. This cabinet was divided into two layers, and the labels on the test tubes and glass beakers on the lower layer had different contents -

Test subject No. 1138 failed. Using pure metals, gemstones and derived minerals as raw materials, I hoped to cure the leg disease by enhancing bone activity, but the part below the knee still had no reaction. The travelers from the ground brought me new information. Perhaps I should make the materials for removing the curse a priority in the next alchemy?

Test product No. 314 failed. The purification effect was not ideal, mainly in terms of efficiency. It would take half a month to purify the water pollution in one square meter of sea area. If the scope is expanded to the entire sea area, the effect will be further reduced. It can only be used as a reference sample and has no practical application value.

Test product No. 315 failed. The purification effect reached the expected level, but the cost was too high. The preparation of the cornerstone and neutralizer alone consumed materials worth more than 3,000 debs (the highest official currency unit in Mindrias, equivalent to the gold pound of the Kingdom of Great Brittany). If it could be mass-produced, the cost might be further reduced, but the requirements for the chemical system of modern civilization were too high and it had no practical application value.

Test product No. 316 failed. It didn't achieve the expected results in all aspects. It was a complete failure. How could I have made such a tool? It makes me doubt my ability. Is it because the recent worsening of marine pollution has affected my mood? Forget it. This is not something that should be recorded in the experimental notes. Next time, try to exclude crystal and red coral from the material list. …

It ends here.

At first glance, the shocking word "failure" indicated that the mirror elf girl's research and exploration did not seem to be going smoothly. And from the last experimental record, these test products were all made by Rolena before she met Linger and the others. As for the latest situation, only she knew.

"Ah, why are you looking at those things?" Rolanda's slightly surprised voice came from the side. Linger turned around and found that she had come to his side without him knowing when. She was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a transparent glass jar in her arms. Inside was some unknown material similar to plant roots. The silvery-white tentacles were like the soft tentacles of an octopus, soaked in light green liquid, floating silently, and looked very scary.

"Sorry." Ling Ge apologized: "I just saw it by chance, and I was a little curious for a moment..."

"It's okay." Rorona shook her head gently. "Since I kept them here, it doesn't mean I don't mind others seeing them. I'm just a little curious. I didn't expect you to be interested in these experiments."

"Very interesting." Linger commented simply: "It looks like two drug experiments with different effects. Have you been studying them?"

"Well, it started a long time ago. To be more precise, it started when I realized that I had this ability."

Rolena smiled and said, "I believe Mr. Linger should be able to tell that the row of test products above were made to treat the diseases I have had since childhood. Because the causes and symptoms of each disease are different, the materials and refining techniques used are also different. Unfortunately, they all failed and there has been no successful case so far. Of course, I will not give up so easily. I will probably continue to try until the day I am completely cured."

Lingge was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "As long as you enter the Holy Temple of Heaven and seek the help of the Goddess, the curse will naturally be lifted."

"I know, but we can't just pin all our hopes on the goddess, right?" Rorona blinked, "We have to work hard on our own. Maybe one day we can find the right method and lift the curse without the goddess' help."

The young man thought about it and nodded gently: "Indeed, if you can successfully refine the medicine to remove the curse, Saint Shallia and the others will also benefit from it, which will be of great help to our subsequent journey."

"Oh, I didn't think so much. I was just working hard for my condition." Rorona pretended to be troubled. "Do you think I'm selfish, Mr. Ling?"

Linger did not answer. He looked at the number of experiments on the label, which was as high as 1,138 times, and mixed thoughts arose in his mind. He said softly, "No."

“I think you’re very strong.”

"Hey!"

The girl in the wheelchair tilted her head and curved her eyebrows when she heard this: "Thank you for the compliment~"
