A trip to the second dimension

Chapter 76: Alchemy of the Jade Record

Hope's physical fitness is already far beyond that of ordinary people. After so many energy enhancements, it has almost been digested now.

To sum up, the hope at this time is that regardless of the various laws and protections, the body alone can reach the level of strength from wolf level to leopard level in the steam world.

That is to say, the destructive power is roughly equivalent to that of a fully armed elite 12-man special operations team, and the physical strength exceeds the superhuman level of two tons.

From a purely physical perspective, he is indeed stronger than Captain America.

With the hope of having such physical fitness, when moving on the roof, the speed is definitely not slow.

And because it was on the roof, the bird's-eye view was more helpful for Hope to pinpoint the person's movement route. In a short time, Hope had chased him to the top of his head.

With a movement of his feet, Hope jumped up. At the same time that the roof tiles were pushed away, Hope's entire body fell in front of this man, directly blocking his path in the alley.

"Get out of the way!"

Although he was startled by Hope's sudden drop from the sky, when he took a closer look, he found that the person blocking him was just a small boy. He roared angrily and reached out to push Hope aside.

How could hope come true to his wish?

He gently raised his hand and pinched the man's wrist. With a backhand pull, he suddenly fell to the ground.

It seemed that he did not expect that Hope's strength would be so great. The man was stunned for a while, holding his hands on the ground, and wanted to get up again.

Hope saw this, but he directly raised his foot and stepped on the opponent's vest, so that he could only lie on the ground obediently, unable to move at all.

I am even more surprised by the strength of hope.

"Why are you running?"

Looking at the man at his feet whose clothing style was obviously different from that of the Italians, Hope tilted her head and asked.

"None of your business! Besides, where did I run away!"

The man was still talking harshly, but suddenly he felt a strong force on his back, and he screamed out in pain.

"Stop talking nonsense and answer my questions honestly, or I will crush your bones." Hope threatened, and then asked: "Are you a traveler from the Black Continent who was received by Uberto? The one.”

"That's right! It's me, please be gentle! It's broken! It feels like it's really going to break!"

Unlike his appearance, this man's mouth is still really weak and he can't suffer at all.

"Tell me, you are a traveler. As the law enforcement officer of Florence, why would Uberto receive you personally?"

Hope went straight to the question and asked the answer he most wanted to know. After all, the more information they know, the better it is for them.

The traveler smiled bitterly, knowing that he was in trouble today.

He had just felt that something was wrong when he saw someone knocking Uberto unconscious and carrying him away in the inner courtyard. But it turned out to be like this. He was caught after running a few steps.

Fortunately, the other party did not kill him directly.

After hearing Hope's second question, in order to save himself some pain, the man answered simply: "That's right, because I have a jade recording tablet in my hand, and I know that Uberto seems to be very interested in alchemy. I was somewhat interested in it, so I let the news out. I originally planned to take the opportunity to sell this thing and make some money.”

"Jade Record? What is that?"

Hope was a little confused, but still showed his good quality of always asking questions when he doesn’t understand.

It doesn't seem strange that I hope I don't know about the Cuiyulu. After all, in this era where information dissemination is extremely inconvenient, there are absolutely very few people who know about this sacred object in ancient Egypt on the African continent.

Therefore, the traveler did not show off and explained directly: "I heard that the real alchemy formula is recorded in the Jade Record. It was given to the Egyptians by the Egyptian god Thoth a long time ago. Many people are interested in alchemy. Anyone who is interested wants to get this stone tablet, but since there is only one original, they can only settle for the engraving of the Jade Record..."

After hearing the traveler's explanation, Hope blinked, thought for a while, and suddenly turned to look at the man at his feet and said, "Listen to what you said, you are not an Egyptian?"

"hey-hey."

The traveler smiled sheepishly: "I am a Jew."

Well... feelings are just guys who pretend to be Egyptian and then come here to get money.

"Then where did you get the rubbing of the Jade Record? Could it be that it was stolen from a real Egyptian?" Hope said, and through the eyes of an eagle, he accurately found a roll of sheepskin from the Jew. Paper.

Seeing his jade recording tablet being taken away, the Jew's expression suddenly changed, but in the end he wisely calmed down and said with a flattering smile: "Of course I didn't steal this, I just I bought it from another thief for a small price."

"Well, it seems you are a really smart guy."

Hope let go of the man's foot, took a step back, and then looked at the Jew who struggled to stand up and asked: "Then do you know why Uberto is interested in Cuiyulu?"

Raising his hand to pat his back, the man smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows about this. Anyone with some power would like to study alchemy. After all, I heard that you can turn stones or metals into gold. Or make people live forever. You know, that’s all they think about all day long.”

"Okay, I know everything I want to know, you can leave."

Hope that the Jade Record held in his hand disappeared out of thin air and was put into his space backpack.

The Jewish man who was keenly aware of this shrank his pupils slightly, but when he heard Hope telling him to leave, he refused to leave.

Rubbing his hands, he bent his waist slightly and smiled at Hope: "Look, you got the information you wanted from me, and you also took away the jade record I bought. How much is it? You should also give me some benefits?”

Hearing this, Hope looked at the Jewish man in surprise.

Is it possible that all Jews are so greedy for money?

Or is this person really that smart?

Hope looked at him and asked, "You still dare to ask me for benefits?"

"This is the beginning of a good deal, isn't it? Maybe you will need me somewhere in the future. I think we will definitely meet again, sir." The Jewish man stood up straight again, but the smile on his face was is unchanged.

"Haha, you are very interesting."

Hope smiled, casually took out a ruby ​​​​from the space backpack and threw it to the Jewish man. Seeing the other man taking it hurriedly, he smiled again and said: "My name is Hope, what's yours?"

"Jacob, sir, my name is Jacob. I will be living in Florence for a while. If you need to ask about my flowers, you can always come to Santa Maria Novella to find me. I will stay temporarily in the old market. ”

Jacob smiled and tightly held the ruby ​​​​thrown to him by Hope in his hand, as if he had really caught the light of hope.
