Wizard From Afar

"Give him all the files?"

In the Alchemy Academy, the Institute Head with a gloomy expression stared at the wizard who reported to him in front of him. With a bit of resentment.

"Yes, according to your instructions, we have handed over the files and account books from four years ago to the present to the wizard consultant of His Royal Highness Brandon."

The alchemist replied as it was, but his expression was still a little worried: "But is this really good? Master dean, there are all records on it, if he really finds something..."

"What's the matter, let the black-haired boy go and find it, really think he can find any evidence?" The dean's mouth cast a sneer: "That was four years, all four years. The archives, even if you give him a half a month, he will definitely not have time to finish it!"

"This is not a difficult and obscure high-level curse, this is something that wizards will never learn in the Academy— —Cold numbers, knowledge of statistics!"

"Just treat this arrogant kid as a lesson." The dean coldly snorted, and the resentment in his eyes is more serious: "The real problem is not him. , But the attitude of His Highness Brandon!"

"His Royal Highness's attitude?" The alchemist was even more confused: "But your Highness Brandon is not just to protect your reputation during the day. , Scolded his own wizard consultant..."

"That was for us to see, a mindless idiot!" He roared roughly, and the dean glared at his subordinate: "If so Without the meaning of your Highness, would that wizard adviser ask questions and help us'check out' the accounts so eagerly?"

"We are suspected, do you understand?! Your Royal Highness, Brandon, It may even be the'Your Majesty' behind him, suspecting that we have done tricks on the accounts!"

The alchemist who heard the dean’s answer was shocked, his shoulders trembled, and the scroll in his hand. All fell to the ground.

"Wh, how is this possible... We are the loyal courtiers of His Royal Highness Connaught, and we have been carrying out His Highness..."

"Shut up if you don't want to die!"

"Yes, yes!"

The dean's expression became more and more dull, and seeing the appearance of his subordinate shiver coldly became even worse: "All in all, the kid definitely checked Nothing comes out, but we can’t relax our vigilance, we must be careful."

"You mean..."

"Find someone to stare at this black-haired boy, If you see him wandering around in the town, just grab him-just explain afterwards and accidentally treat him as a thief. It’s just a wizard of spell studies, it’s a trick at best!"

"Send another one! Reliable go to the fortress of Duanjieshan and contact His Royal Highness Connold to see if there is any news from His Royal Highness." The dean who looks exactly like a blacksmith, but is more cautious than he seems: "Also, those What about the other wizards accompanying His Royal Highness Brandon?"

"All are in the Academy, and there is no sign of leaving." The alchemist quickly replied: "I have commissioned two apprentices to take them around the Academy. I visited, now it should be in the underground laboratory."

"Very good."

The sonorous nodded, the dean still stood up uneasy: "No, you go personally Watch them. In any case, there must be no accidents!"

…………………………………………

"This is really...too much It’s amazing!"

The little wizard who walked through the gate accompanied by two apprentices in the underground laboratory of the melting pot Academy, looked at the size of a football field in amazement and excitement, using beams, brick walls and A huge underground space made up of various metal brackets.

Even Eboden’s alchemy laboratory is only the size of a study room at most, and at most tools and parts are relatively complete. There are nearly a hundred workbenches here, and the crucibles are directly placed on both sides. On the fireplace; parts, tools, potions, raw materials...

In the bottle, in the box, in the clay pot... the cabinet rack full of these things, unexpectedly There are as many bookshelves as the library!

No! This is the "library" of the alchemist;

Here is the "kingdom" of the alchemist!

"You look very surprised, His Excellency Ain Rand?" A strange voice approached from behind: "Did our big laboratory scare you?"

"Ai, yes!" The excited little wizard turned his head and proactively extended his right hand: "Alchemist Ain Rand, I don't know how to call you?"

"Just call me Ain Rand It’s okay.” With a smile, the alchemist gently shook the little wizard’s hand, and casually sent the two apprentices beside him, greeted enthusiastically: “If you don’t mind, just Let me show you around here, right?"

"Of course!"

The excited little wizard was nodded hard, followed behind the alchemist and walked into this alchemist. "library".

"Our melting pot Academy is fundamentally different from any wizard Academy in the empire; here we are not to explore the truth, find the truth of the natural world, or even slander like other wizards. , Looking for the secret of turning lead into gold."

As the alchemist walked forward, he pointed to the apprentices who were still lighting the lights on the workbenches on both sides: "What we are doing is not Such meticulous work. We do not demand theory, search for the truth, or explore the truth, but the same work that has been repeated since the sixth generation of His Majesty Brandon I."

" Work?" The little wizard tilted his head in confusion.

"Yes, and it has never stopped since the Academy was founded." A proud expression appeared on the alchemist's face: "That is practice that never stops!"

"The weapons and ordnance manufactured by the Academy and Furnace Town will be delivered directly to Legion in the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain-there are thousands, or even tens of thousands of soldiers, and there will be hundreds of them in a battle. Weapons are scrapped, consuming thousands of arrows, and materials will be delivered at any time, so we don’t have time to craft them too much!"

"At the same time, the Academy must guarantee weapons and armors. The quality of ——Because of facing the battlefield, practicality is the most important. In addition, we must continue bringing forth the new through the old."

The alchemist stopped and pointed to the underground experiment Up ahead of the room. Following the little wizard that he was looking at, his pupils suddenly shrank.

That is a common forging hammer. Alchemists use tools when tempering rare metals or entering runes for alchemy products. In Eboden, the little wizard also used A pendant-sized mini version was obtained from the wizard tower as proof that she was approved by the wizard tower.

And this one of the melting pot Academy... this "large machine" resembling a "forging hammer", its physique is a hundred times the size of an ordinary forging hammer!

"This is the gift that the sixth generation of His Majesty Brandon I received when he signed an alliance treaty with the dwarves of Byrne Duchy in the south-'Earthshaker', as the dwarves called it Yes. It is placed here as a symbol of Furnace Town and Academy."

The alchemist raised his head slightly, as if he was paying respect: In terms of it, it is almost equivalent to the Divine Item! It takes hundreds of taps and tempering, and even more complicated work. In front of it, it is just a'one hammer' thing. It is worthy of the wisdom of the dwarves!"

"But now...it's an outdated design."

"Outdated?!" Ai Yin exclaimed.

"Yes! Just a year ago, we worked with the alchemists of the Imperial Capital Imperial Family wizard Academy to complete a new forging hammer that surpassed the Earthshaker— —The size is twice its size, its strength is three times its strength, and it can perform more complex and sophisticated work."

"Now every new coin of the Sackland Empire is made of It’s forged!" The alchemist’s face once again showed a proud look:

"His Excellency Ain Rand, since you are also an alchemist, you must have a lot of new theories and ideas. Well, why don’t we talk to each other, maybe both parties can gain something?"

"Of course, if you don’t mind!" Of course Ai Yin can hear the other person’s meaning, and her eyes are excited. The rays of light that cannot be seen directly bloom continuously.

"By the way, what about your other friend?" Suddenly aware of the lack of individuals, the alchemist immediately became nervous: "It is the one who had a quarrel with the dean during the day. Bit."

"That guy is a nasty arrogant man." The little wizard, who had a headache when thinking of Isaac, waved his hand and laughed helplessly: "And he specializes in mysticism. Wizard, has always been biased against alchemy, you don’t need to care about him!"

"Oh...it turns out to be like this..."
