The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

Upon hearing this description, Lu Lin almost sneered at the first moment.

Because this statement was so offensive, I had to write the words "The Holy Religion doesn't like it" on my face.

So Lu Lin just shook his head at the first moment and didn't talk much. He said he wanted to go see the Earth Dragon first.

When they arrived outside the city, sure enough, the earth dragon that Lu Lin had chosen before, carrying a two-story dragon on his back, was already waiting for him in the pasture. The person in charge of handing over was the original shopping guide. It was not difficult to tell from her smiling face. , Lu Lin's business should have given her a considerable commission, otherwise she wouldn't be so happy after waiting for so long.

The shopping guide asked the staff on standby on the ground dragon to put down the folding bridge on the ground dragon's body, and led the three of them into the two-story building on the ground dragon's back along the bridge.

The first floor of the small building is a complete large room. The things Lu Lin bought and his twin clay puppets are also here now. There is no furniture for the time being and there are no rooms. According to the introduction of the shopping guide, according to their After sales, furniture and interior decoration within a certain budget can be provided free of charge.

After looking at the first floor, everyone went to the second floor.

Since the overall design of the small building is small at the top and large at the bottom, the area on the second floor is smaller than the first floor, but if it is used as an independent room, the space will appear to be very large.

Lu Lin took a look and found that the space on the second floor should be enough for him to put down the alchemy cauldron, set up a large alchemy platform, and leave enough space for formation.

There is also a small attic above the second floor. It is relatively narrow inside and may be too difficult to accommodate, but it can still be used as a storage warehouse for alchemy materials.

"How's the insulation on the top floor of the attic?" Lu Lin asked the shopping guide.

The shopping guide was obviously very knowledgeable and immediately gave a plan: "If you need it, you can add a top layer of insulation, or even install a constant-temperature array on the top floor of the entire house. As long as the supply of magic stones continues, The temperature inside the house can be maintained at a livable range all year round, and it is also convenient for storing various alchemy raw materials. This may use up most of the gift budget."

"It doesn't matter, this thing is very important to me," Lu Lin said. "If the budget is not enough, we can just add more money."

As soon as Lu Lin said this, the corner of Lan Jie's mouth twitched again.

He knows what his eldest brother's current financial situation is. His pocket is cleaner than his face. Isn't this extra money just his money?

However, it was hard for him to say anything, after all, he also wanted the constant temperature array.

Think about it, who doesn’t want to live in a house that is warm in winter and cool in summer?

After deciding that the second floor would be used as an alchemy studio and the attic as a warehouse for alchemy materials, everyone returned to the first floor to plan the house.

Now that there is room for the studio, the first floor will naturally be used as a living area. The shopping guide provided several sets of decoration plans, ranging from the kitchen, bathroom, dining room to the living room.

However, the first floor is said to be relatively large, but after all, it is only a house located on the back of a ground dragon. The area is quite limited.

Lu Lin himself had used up the second floor and the attic, leaving the living area in jeopardy. After much deliberation, Lu Lin chose a two-bedroom apartment.

The kitchen and dining room are connected, minimizing partitions, and the bathroom and toilet are separated. The bathroom is slightly larger, and the toilet saves space as much as possible.

Anyway, on the back of the earth dragon, the main purpose of the toilet is to throw the fallen objects directly into nature after use. It doesn't matter if it is small.

But even so, these things together occupy less than half of the space on the first floor. After deducting the area of ​​​​the corridor, the remaining area is all the living room.

Both rooms are not too small, but because there is no warehouse reserved, it is estimated that apart from the beds, the remaining area of ​​these two rooms will be used as a warehouse for daily supplies.

Not only these two rooms, but also the dining room has a lot of area allocated for storing things.

As for the allocation of these two rooms, Lu Lin planned to give one to Li Mi and one to Lan Jie, while he himself would just find a place to set up a bed in the alchemy studio.

In the end, after Lu Lin drastically reduced the furniture configuration in order to save storage space, the budget was only slightly exceeded.

The shopping guide was also very polite, saying that they were big customers and took the initiative to waive the excess.

Everything was settled, and just when the shopping guide was about to leave, Lu Lin suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I remember you said before that magic stones are needed to power the constant-temperature array, right?" Lu Lin asked, "I wonder what the monthly cost is?"

"If you build the whole house, you may spend about ten silver coins worth of magic stones every month, which is not cheap, but I believe that with your ability, it shouldn't be a problem," the shopping guide said with a smile, "And you are originally Even an alchemist should be able to make magic stones by himself, right?"

"No, I don't have the magic stone refining formula in my hands yet. I wonder if you sell it?" Lu Lin asked.

"Huh? Ah, of course there is. You don't need to pay. The magic stone formula is a public formula," the shopping guide lady said hurriedly, "I'll just have someone deliver it to me later."

"Reveal the formula?" Lu Lin's heart moved, and he immediately smelled something cheap.

"Well, don't you know the public formula?" the shopping guide asked puzzledly.

"I stayed in the Diling Town below the canyon for a while, and I really didn't know that there was a public formula here," Lu Lin answered honestly.

"Ah! So that's it," the shopping guide smiled and nodded, "That's it. Although Binses Gaoya City has a developed business and abundant supplies, there are still some things because the demand is too high. Large and in short supply, in response to the shortage of these items, the City Business Federation will deliberately disclose the refining formulas of these items to facilitate the alchemists or alchemists and their apprentices in the city to learn and improve the properties of these items. Shipments."

"I see," Lu Lin nodded, "Then if I want all the public formulas, what should I do?"

"If you need it, I will have all the public formulas delivered to you in a moment. You don't need to do anything," the shopping guide said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin quickly nodded in agreement.

Listening to this statement, these things whose formulas are disclosed must be particularly popular and practical.

For someone like Lu Lin, who only knows the formulas for various contrabands, he definitely doesn't know any of these formulas.

Being able to get so many practical formulas for free can be said to be a huge profit.

The shopping guide bowed again and then left.

Lu Lin and Lan Jie temporarily moved everything in the house to the second floor.

After that, the first floor needs to be renovated, and the second floor only needs to be moved in with some furniture. It will be convenient to put things upstairs so that people from the chamber of commerce will come to do the work later.

After the things were moved, people from the Chamber of Commerce also arrived. After Lu Lin asked them to deliver the furniture on the second floor first, he started to tidy up the second floor.

As for Li Mi, as soon as Lu Lin's bed was made, she lay down on it immediately, closed her eyes, and fell asleep on the spot.

Lan Jie, on the other hand, was completely idle and could only sit in the middle of the room with nothing to do.

Just when he was considering whether to go downstairs to supervise the work, Lu Lin suddenly said: "Tell me more about the colorful forest and Oga City."

Chapter 70 The Legend of the City of Endless Desire

"Actually, I really don't know much about the Colorful Forest. I only know that it is a famous attraction in Oga City."

Lan Jie sat back on the chair, resting his hands on the backrest, looking at Lu Lin who was arranging various high-end instruments, and spoke eloquently.

"As for Oga City, I have heard a lot of rumors."

"Oga City is the name of the people. The word "Oga" is from the dialect of the Eastern Territory, which means 'endless desire'."

"In other words, it is called the 'City of Endless Desire'?" Lu Lin touched his chin.

"Yes, this is also the most widely circulated name," Lan Jie nodded, "its official name is Fantasy City. According to them, you can experience thousands of different fantasy experiences there. .”

"It just sounds like a tourist city boasting," Lu Lin shrugged.

"Not to mention, at least in the eastern part of the empire, Oga City is indeed recognized as the top amusement city," Lan Jie said. "There are countless theaters, countless minstrels, and various acrobatic circus performances that don't stop every day. There are non-stop singing and dancing comedies every night. In addition, there is also the largest casino and the largest brothel nearby. Almost all the entertainment you can think of, ranging from dragon riding to novels and picture books on the street, there are It should be there."

"Hey..." Lu Lin glanced at Lan Jie with some surprise, "With the productivity level and transportation capacity of this world, can such a city be supported?"

"Huh? Productivity level?" The sudden appearance of the term made Lan Jie a little confused. "What about transportation capacity?"

"Well, let's put it this way, according to you, almost everyone in this city is engaged in the entertainment service industry and cultural industry... Well, I mean, the people there are either waiters or entertainers," Lu Lin said, "That means that almost all the food, drink, daily necessities, clothing, food, housing and transportation in their market have to be transported from outside. The cost of transporting goods is so high these days, how can they have so much money to support this? A city functioning?”

"This... uh, I don't quite understand. After all, I haven't been there myself." Lan Jie scratched his head, "Maybe too many rich people go there because of their big names? No, that's not the case. The point, the point is, there is a legend about this city. It is said that there is a fruit called 'Sishi Fruit'."

"Si Shi Guo?" Lu Lin repeated the name.

The past is true, the evening is gone, but it reminds him of the four words "morning flowers and evening picking up".

"So what is this fruit for?" Lu Lin asked.

"It is said that this fruit is the most delicious fruit in the world, but anyone who has eaten it will have part of their soul taken away by it," Lan Jie said. "As for the reason... anyone who has eaten this fruit, After they left Oga, without exception, they forgot everything they had enjoyed in Oga.”

"Including all the performances they have seen, the food they have eaten, the various entertainment they have experienced, and what the fruit tastes like."

"However, they will not forget the fact that they 'experienced unparalleled beauty in the city of Oga and enjoyed the supremely delicious fruit.'"

"Furthermore, it is said that those who have tasted the fruit of the past will go to Oga City again soon because they want to experience the beauty and deliciousness that they have forgotten again no matter what."

"Since the cost of Oga City is actually quite expensive, most of these people will work hard to make money outside. Once they have earned enough money, they will immediately go to Oga City and repeat the cycle."

"This sounds a bit evil..." Lu Lin frowned slightly, "If this is true, it can explain why this city can survive, but it sounds like a country legend, are you sure? Isn’t it a rumor?”

"I'm afraid that's not the case, because I have really met such a person," Lan Jie sighed, "Didn't I say before that I heard about Oga City from a businessman I escorted? And he has eaten the fruit of the past."

"The legend was actually told to me by him, and he himself is a living example. He couldn't remember what he had experienced in Oga City, and he couldn't remember the taste of the fruit."

"But he still wants to go. He works hard as a businessman in order to save enough money as soon as possible to go to Oga City again."

"However, he clearly wanted to go, but he told me that I should never go to Oga City in my life."

"He said that part of his soul has been lost in the city of Oga. He has fallen and is hopeless. But he told me not to be like him, not to go there, and never to lose my soul."

Having said this, Lan Jie took a deep breath and said seriously: "So, boss, even if this is the case, are you still planning to go there?"

Lu Lin stopped packing his things.

He felt the seriousness in Lan Jie's words. In that seriousness was not only his fear of Oga City, but also his deep concern for himself.

Lu Lin felt that maybe he should not continue to fool Lan Jie.

Just like what he said, now that Lan Jie recognizes him as the boss, it is better to confess some things directly than to hide them.

"I understand, there are some things that I haven't completely determined yet, but it's really time to tell you," Lu Lin said. "When the construction team below is finished, I will explain everything to you."

----

"Here, here is the public recipe you asked for," the shopping guide smiled and handed a stack of paper filled with words to Lu Lin. "In addition, the internal construction of your house has also been completed. I will buy you out. The money for the alchemy equipment has been given to you. Our services should be completed, so I won’t bother you any more. Thank you for your patronage and I look forward to your next visit.”

With that said, the shopping guide bowed to Lu Lin and left happily.

Looking at her rather brisk pace, Lu Lin was really curious about how much commission she could earn from her order to be happy;@ like this.

"Finally it's all done," Lan Jie from the dining room lay on the dining table with a weak look on his face, "Ah, I feel like I'm starving to death."

Beside Lan Jie, the twin mud puppets were spinning around.

This thing is made entirely of mud, and it looks like it will stain the floor. But in fact, because it will constantly gather the dust around it to restore and supply energy to the sleeping mud puppet, it can actually do something similar. The effect of a vacuum cleaner is that it can clean up all the dust wherever you go.

The house had just been renovated and was very gray, so Lu Lin asked him to use it as a sweeping robot.

As for Lu Lin.

He has to cook.

Although he would actually rather go to the second floor to play around with his new equipment, there are three people here, one only knows how to sleep, and the other has never been in the kitchen a few times in his life. If he doesn't cook, no one can do it.

"Don't worry, I'm going to prepare dinner right now," Lu Lin said and walked to the kitchen.

Although the newly built kitchen is not big, it is still much better than Lu Lin's wild stove in the past.

The kitchen knives are newly bought, the cutting boards are made of solid wood, the pots are made of iron, even the stove is heated by the magic circle, and even the water supply is used; #Magic power is condensed out of thin air through the magic circle. In this kitchen, Lu Lin felt that apart from the lack of a range hood, it was no different from a modern kitchen.

After preparing the ingredients for today, Lu Lin washed the ingredients and said, "Lan Jie, didn't you want to know why I went to the Colorful Forest?"

"Yeah," Lan Jie nodded.

"Okay, let me tell you..."

----

----

This was probably the day Lu Lin talked the most since he came to this world.

In the beginning, he just planned to briefly explain the whole story and his guess to Lan Jie.

But he never expected that after opening his chat box, he would not be able to close it.

There are some things that he has been keeping in his heart for too long, and no one can listen to him or discuss them with him.

And today, he said all these things for the first time.

Of course, he didn't have any reservations. He didn't tell Lan Jie about the origin of his abilities, his past life, and the detailed information about Li Mi.

On the one hand, it was because he felt that even if these things were not mentioned, they would not affect their actions. On the other hand, it was also because even if facing Lan Jie, Lu Lin still wanted to keep his trump card.

But even so, Lan Jie was still dumbfounded.

As a native of this world, Lan Jie knew much more about dungeons and the heroes who conquered them than Lu Lin did.

Unfortunately, all he learned was the version propagated by the Holy Religion.

In his mind, those heroes should be high-ranking figures who are admired by everyone every day. They are the goals he wants to fight for.

results.

"That old beggar, and Sister Li Mi, they are all..."

"Ah," Lu Lin nodded, "They are all the 'big shots' you think they are."

"But...but these are all your guesses after all, right?" Lan Jie said, "The old beggar never said that he was a brave man, and Sister Li Mi almost refused to speak, and no one knew about this kind of thing. This situation is not an exception, even if the church has made special arrangements to deal with the issue of mental illness..."
