Almighty Alchemist

When Gong Hao hurried to Area 56, he saw that Andrew was already there.

There was also a servant kneeling on the ground, being stepped on by a puppet warrior. It seemed that as long as Andrew gave an order, the servants would be killed.

In order to better control these servants, Andrew doesn't mind wasting some resources when necessary, killing one or two servants to scare the rest.

"Master Andrew." Gong Hao first ran over and bowed to Andrew.

"Gler, you've failed your duty." Andrew's tone was extremely unkind.

Gong Hao's heart trembled.

On the way here, Fink had told him what had happened.

There are about fourteen kinds of monsters in area 56, all of which are relatively rare species.

The most precious of them are the pair of flaming birds locked in the bird cage.

Blazing Birds are born with the ability to communicate with magic elves, and can release various fire spells. They are advanced monsters. Due to the abundance of elemental energy in their bodies, their blood can be used to make good mana restoration potions. Magic power recovery potion is perhaps the most precious of all potions, requiring a lot of materials, among which the blood of elemental birds is indispensable. The mana restoration potion made from the blood of the blazing bird can not only help mages recover their own mana, but more importantly, it can also increase the magician's ability to sense fire elements. Elemental sensing ability can be said to be the foundation for mages to live and work, so it can be seen that it is very useful.

During the Hundred Years' War, elemental birds such as blazing birds and polar ice birds were hunted and killed by human alchemists in large numbers, and they were used to make various magic recovery potions and elemental induction potions. Although they are very ferocious and powerful, no matter how powerful a monster is, it is impossible to confront humans who are good at organizing and using all means.

After that, the monsters such as the blazing bird gradually disappeared. Although people have since found alternative materials from other monsters, none have ever worked better than the blood of elemental birds. Not to mention increasing the ability to sense elements.

Half a year ago, Lancelot brought back a pair of blazing birds from the central area of ​​Purgatory Island. He was also covered in bruises and nearly died. From that day on, extracting the blood of the blazing bird to refine magic power recovery potions and elemental sensing potions has become another major contribution of Purgatory Island to the empire.

Since there was only one pair of blazing birds, Hines ordered them to be given special care. The blood of one flaming bird is drawn every seven days, and another one is replaced next week, so that the blood is drawn once every half a month. In terms of the strong vitality of the flaming bird, there is no danger to life.

Elemental birds have always appeared in pairs, and they are loyal to their respective partners until death. If one of them dies, the other will never live alone. At the beginning, human beings used this characteristic of elemental birds to successfully set traps and catch elemental birds again and again.

However, no one expected that the degree of loyalty between these couples has reached a level that human beings can't even imagine. When the young servant in charge of area 56 was drawing blood from the flaming bird, he never dreamed that for three whole months, he actually drew blood from the same flaming bird.

Now, in the tall birdcage, the blood-sucked flaming bird finally couldn't stand it anymore.

It lay prone in the cage, its fiery red wings were dimmed, and its life was gradually disappearing. Its mate, a female blazing bird, is mournfully guarding her husband, neighing mournfully from time to time.

There was sadness in her eyes.

"Ai Jie, didn't I ask you to put a number plate on them to distinguish them?" Gong Hao asked the servant who was kneeling on the ground.

The servant replied tremblingly: "I hung up, but I didn't expect that bird to change the number plate."

The anger in Gong Hao's heart suddenly rose: "But I told you to wear a magic number plate, the blazing bird is a very smart creature."

"I..." Poor Ai Jie never imagined that Blazing Bird would be so smart. At that time, he thought that Gong Hao's order was superfluous, so he didn't care. Because they look exactly the same, ordinary people can't tell them apart. Aijie's negligence caused the male Blazing Bird to secretly change its number plate every time, and he was the one who was drawn blood every time.

It was only then that Ajie remembered why the Flamingo, which had been known for being loyal and loving to its mates some time ago, would often show signs of fighting and arguing in the cage. It turned out that they didn't love each other, but loved each other too much.

It's just that females obviously can't compete with males, which leads to this consequence.

Looking at her dying husband at this moment, the female Flamingo roared angrily towards the outside of the cage.

It spewed out a mouthful of flames, and hit the wall of the magic cage, but it couldn't hurt the opponent at all.

Perhaps knowing that her actions were useless, the female Flamingo gave up her attack and lay sadly on her husband's body.

Gong Hao could even see tears glistening in the eyes of this fire elemental bird.

Blazing birds shed tears only once in their life, and that is for their mate.

Gong Hao sighed softly, he knew that if the male flame bird died, then the female would never live alone.

Andrew let out a long breath, even though he knew it was not Gong Hao's responsibility, he still said coldly: "Gler, many times the servants may not follow your orders completely. They are often lazy, clever, and self-righteous. If you think that you have considered, ordered, and ordered, and things are done, then you are very wrong. In any case, you have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter."

The other chief servant, Sisser, couldn't help but said, "My lord, is there no way to revive it?"

Andrew shook his head: "Elemental creatures are not something we can save. And we have never conducted research in this area."

That is, you only study killing people. Gong Hao said viciously in his heart.

Compared with these monsters with sincere feelings, perhaps human beings are the real beasts!

In any case, however, the current crisis must be resolved. Gong Hao never wanted this to be a reason for him to be sent to the valley next month.

We must find a way to save the blazing bird.

But how to save? How can I solve the problem that even Andrew can't solve?

My heart became more and more anxious.

Suddenly he thought of Bloody Orchid.

My eyes light up, yes, life has its own way out!

He yelled: "My lord, I have a way to save it."

Andrew was taken aback, and said happily, "What can I do? Tell me!"

Gong Hao gritted his teeth, and finally shouted: "Let it go."

"Let it go?" Andrew was taken aback, only to hear that Gong Hao had already said quickly: "We can't save it because we don't understand it. But as an intelligent high-level monster, I believe it must have a way to save itself. We all know that some monsters will flee to certain places after being injured. They always have an innate sense for places that can give them vitality. I have read records about the Hundred Years War. In the process of humans capturing monsters, such things happened not once or twice. The monsters licked their wounds. It made a comeback, and sometimes even caused great casualties to humans. I believe that there must be a place or opportunity to restore its vitality on Lianhe Island. But it will not tell us. As long as it is released, it will save itself."

Andrew roared angrily: "But what does a flying flamingo mean to us? I would rather it die now, at least there is still blood in its body that I can use a few times. Once it flies away, isn't there nothing left?"

Gong Hao replied calmly: "You are right, it is indeed risky. But I am sure it will come back."

"You said it would throw itself into a trap for us to catch it?" Andrew wanted to laugh, isn't this kid crazy?

But Gong Hao said: "Yes, it will throw itself into the trap and go back into this cage by itself."

"Why?"

"Because there is his most precious existence here, the existence more precious than his life - his wife." Gong Hao pointed with one hand, pointing to the female blazing bird crying at her husband.

Andrew was silent.

He didn't expect Gong Hao's thinking to be so sharp, and he grasped the key to the problem at once.

That's right, even if the male Blazing Bird is released, it is absolutely impossible for him to leave. It will not be willing to leave his wife.

"So, what if it can't save itself?"

"Then we are only losing a bit of blood in the body of a blazing bird, that's all. My lord, if he is alive, he can provide us with a steady stream of benefits, but if he dies, we can only dig out the last legacy from the corpse. If possible, I believe that my lord should gamble as much as possible, and give it a try."

Andrew suddenly felt that Gong Hao's words were not only talking about the Blazing Bird, but also about himself.

A living life is always more valuable than a dead one.

He nodded, more and more affirming the kid's wisdom.

"Very well, just do as you say. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds, Greer, I will not punish you again. If the blazing bird fails to fly back, then it will be considered unlucky for us. If it flies back, I will give you some rewards. You can think about what rewards you want first."

"Thank you sir, let's save him first." Gong Hao replied calmly.

The dying Flamingo was released.

Gong Hao is anxiously waiting for the news every day.

One day passed, another day passed.

For many days, there was no result.

Even Andrew became a little anxious, and ran over to ask Gong Hao if the bird was dead, or if he didn't plan to come back at all.

Looking at his anxious look, it seemed that he had forgotten his promise that he would not punish Gong Hao even if the Flame Bird didn't come back.

However, Gong Hao pointed to the female Flamingo in the cage and replied: "From the moment her partner flew away, she didn't eat or drink, and she has been waiting. Until the day before yesterday, she suddenly resumed eating and drinking. I think it must be because her husband has recovered. Today, I even heard her singing, and her voice was full of joy. I think...that is her husband is coming back soon."

Andrew was a little confused: "How could she know the information about her husband?"

Gong Hao replied: "Maybe it's because of a mutual understanding."

Andrew then sighed: "There are always many things in this world that we don't understand. Even an alchemist cannot understand all existence."

The next day, the male Flamingo came back healthy.
