Almighty Alchemist

After curing the Flame Bird, Andrew became more and more satisfied with Gong Hao, and he decided to keep his promise.

"Gler, tell me what kind of reward you want, and I can satisfy you."

I want you all to go to hell... Gong Hao said in his heart.

However, reality is reality after all, and Andrew said it beautifully, but it may not be without testing his mind. In his opinion, Hugh Iglesel was too smart, so smart that he had to worry that this kid might see through the secret behind Purgatory Island.

Through his request, it may be possible to see his true thoughts.

If he dares to propose to leave here, I will kill him immediately. Andrew thought viciously.

However, what he did not expect was that Gong Hao replied respectfully: "It is my supreme honor to be able to work for the greatest alchemist in the empire. As a servant, how can I make demands on my master? For the master's favor, the servant should be grateful, and for the master's reward, the servant should be afraid."

"Very well, then you don't plan to ask for rewards?"

"My lord." Gong Hao gave Andrew a humble answer: "It is my greatest honor to be able to work here, because history has witnessed us, and I am working hard for the glory of the empire. If there is any regret, it may be that I have been here for more than half a year, and I have not had the honor to meet Master Hines. Of course, this is not the reward I asked for, but I am asking you to grant me a small wish."

Andrew laughed: "Want to see my tutor? Interesting request, very good, I can give you this opportunity. I will report your situation and your work to the tutor, and I think he will be very interested in meeting you."

Gong Hao was overjoyed: "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Andrew walked away.

Three days later, Gong Hao received a message from Andrew that the great alchemist Patrick Hines would meet him on the top floor of the alchemy tower.

———————————————

Patrick Hines is an old man with gray beard and hair. He looked exactly as Gong Hao had imagined, wearing mage robes, a funny pointed hat on his head, and a wand in his hand.

When Gong Hao came in, Hines seemed to be conducting some kind of large-scale experiment in his laboratory.

Contrary to Gong Hao's imagination, not all alchemists must be accompanied by test tubes, solvents, and crucibles. There are many master alchemists who also have a certain degree of magic cultivation, and their research directions are also different. Crucibles, solvents and other items are naturally indispensable for the production of items such as medicines, but there are also some items that are not needed.

For example, the research that Hines is currently engaged in does not need any such things at all.

All kinds of strange symbols are being drawn on the empty laboratory floor, and magic threads made of special materials cover the floor, forming a huge magic array.

And in the center of the array, there is a small ring.

It seems that Hines is doing something with this ring, and he has to work so hard.

As Hines chanted the incantation softly, the magic circle emitted a huge light, and all the light was concentrated at one point in an instant, condensed into a small light cluster, and finally condensed on the ring.

At that moment, Gong Hao saw a tiny black hole suddenly formed on the ring, absorbing all the light into it, and then regained his composure.

All kinds of crystals placed on the magic circle were sucked out of energy in an instant, and scattered into powder all over the place.

Hines picked up the ring and took a closer look, sighed and shook his head: "Spatial fluctuations increase with the increase of energy. Every time the space is doubled, energy needs to be increased by ten times, and the stability of the space is reduced by a hundred times. The maintenance time... three seconds, the test failed."

Almost instinctively, Gong Hao quickly took out a pen and paper from his pocket to record, and suddenly remembered that this is not a library, and the content of Hines' experiment was not something he could record, so he put it down angrily.

The old man turned his head and looked at Gong Hao: "I heard about you, little guy, do you want to see me? Come here, come to me."

He looked majestic.

"You saved my blazing bird, bred some rare magic plants, and you also took on multiple tasks and kept everything in order. What's especially rare is that you always remain in awe of your master, which is a rare and extremely precious quality."

Gong Hao knelt on one knee: "It is my honor to serve Master Hines."

Hines waved Gong Hao to get up, and shook the ring on his hand: "Do you know what this is?"

Gong Hao shook his head.

At this moment, he looked very honest.

Hines said, "It's a space ring."

"Spatial ring?" Gong Hao's eyes were full of surprise, his expression at the moment was full of a big boy who loves to be surprised, he exclaimed: "I thought they had been lost."

"That's right, the method of making the space ring has indeed been lost. The ones that survive now are all left over from the Hundred Years' War, and each one is invaluable. But that doesn't mean we can't redevelop it."

"So have you succeeded?" The childish voice echoed above the laboratory.

Hines shook his head regretfully: "No, no. Space magic has always been the most mysterious and powerful magic, and both magicians and alchemists are fascinated by it. To open up an independent space in a small ornament, it requires very powerful magic power and a deep enough understanding of space energy. We must understand what the space we are in and the space we want to create are, and why they exist. Unfortunately, we have not made further discoveries in this regard. Now I can open up an independent space for this ring Come on, but that requires a lot of energy. When the energy is exhausted, the space will disappear. Sometimes I doubt whether my research is in the wrong direction, and it is not advisable to forcibly break open the space, but facing the space barrier, if you don’t tear it open forcefully, do you still plan to knock on the door to let it open by itself?”

"I think I understand what you mean. You are saying that there are other spaces outside the space we are in, but they are not connected to us, and there is a natural barrier. And what you are doing is to open a path to other spaces through the interior of an object and isolate them to form a special independent space, is that right?"

"No, it's not that simple. The energy required to open up a different space is far greater than the production of space items. But the production of space items requires higher energy finesse. This is like two adjacent rooms with no roads. If you want to go from one room to another, you must open a hole in the middle of the blocked wall. It takes a lot of power to do it. But space items don't need to do this. exists, so you can't simply think of it as a wall... space barriers are everywhere, so you can do things like this anywhere."

"It doesn't sound that hard."

"Yes, it doesn't sound difficult. The premise is that compared to the power of the entire space and the human beings, then the human beings in that room are tens of thousands of times weaker than the ants."

Gong Hao understood a bit: "So with the power of human beings, we can only work hard on space objects, but it is almost impossible to break through the walls, right?"

"That's right, unless there is a hole in the wall itself." Hines replied: "In Fengming Continent, we call such a hole the Gate of Another Dimension."

"Is there a gate to another dimension in Fengming Continent?" Gong Hao's eyes widened.

"Yes, child."

"Where does it lead?"

"abyss."

Gong Hao stopped talking.

He suddenly realized that he knew too little about this world, but at the same time he also realized that if two parallel spaces were compared to two adjacent rooms, then besides the gate of another dimension, there is at least one way to pass through the wall called the space barrier.

It is the soul, which is the real reason why I came here.

But it seems that this world is more like a Rubik's cube, and the spaces connected to it are far from one or two.

"Okay, let's not talk about my failed product. Since you have come and I have talked to you, if there is nothing else, you can leave. I will continue my research."

There is no doubt that Hines is a crazy man with only alchemy on his mind. Even if his servant wanted to see him, he would chat with him about alchemy, and then. . . Then just fuck off.

It seems that this is already the most polite time for him.

For such a person, it's obviously inappropriate to talk to him, it's better to speak straight.

Gong Hao immediately said: "Master, I happen to have something to report to you."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"That's right, you know Lord Lancelot has been in charge of catching magical beasts in the jungle of Purgatory Island."

"kindness."

"Some time ago, Lord Lancelot sent me a pot of flowers."

"That plant that looks like a ghost face? I know about it. Have you found anything?"

"Yes, master, I found that it is a ghost face flower at all, but it is not poisonous."

"Oh?" Hines became interested: "Why?"

"I guess that the ghost-faced flower has mutated. It is very likely that the seeds of the ghost-faced flower were picked up by some kind of bird that is not afraid of poison, and then flew all the way, fell and grew there when passing through Lianhe Island. During the transportation process, the seeds were affected and mutated, so the toxin could not be produced."

"Interesting speculation, but so what?"

Gong Hao deliberately hesitated for a moment before muttering: "Actually, I found out that it was a ghost mask on the first day, but I didn't dare to say it."

"Why?"

"Because Lord Lancelot doesn't think it's a ghost flower."

"You don't want to refute his face?"

"Actually... such a thing happened more than once." Gong Hao continued to be careful.

Hines frowned.

Seeing that Hines didn’t seem to be angry, Gong Hao boldly continued: “I don’t mean to blame Lord Lancelot. After all, Lord Lancelot is a warrior. It’s normal for him to have limited understanding of various magical beasts and plants. In fact, it’s okay to bring back some flowers and plants by mistake, but the reason why I want to mention this is because I’m worried that Lord Lancelot will miss some rare species for the same reason... I mean, since Lord Lancelot can bring some If there is no need to bring back plants, it may also give up some plants that should not be given up, master."

Hines nodded: "It's entirely possible. But it's really no wonder Lancelot, after all, he's just a warrior. It's okay to say that monsters have different shapes, and they can always be distinguished. Plants... are always difficult."

Gong Hao immediately said: "That's why I asked to see the master, why not send an apprentice to go to the jungle with Lord Lancelot?"

Hines immediately shook his head: "No, don't say it would be a waste of my manpower, and I'm afraid they don't understand those magic plants as much as you. Alchemists are not hunters, so there is no need to study the living forms of monsters and magic plants. We only consider their functions. This alone is enough for people to study for a lifetime."

"That's such a pity." Gong Hao looked regretful: "As the last resource-rich place in the mainland, there may still be many materials needed for alchemy that have not been found yet. In case they are missed..."

Hines moved slightly in his heart: "I heard that you cultivate bloody orchids, and you can see through the mutation of that ghost-faced flower, and you have read a lot of books in the library. You should know the magic plant very well, right?"

Gong Hao immediately replied: "As long as it is a plant I have seen, I will be able to tell it apart."

"Very good." Hines nodded and said, "In this case, from tomorrow onwards, you will go hunting in the jungle with Lancelot. With you here, I think you won't miss any rare magic plants."

"Follow Master's arrangement."

It worked! Gong Hao shouted with joy in his heart.

He had been waiting for this day from the moment he asked to see Hines.

From this day on, he will be completely free to enter and exit the castle, and walk freely in every corner of Purgatory Island.

However, Gong Hao did not intend to give up his current job just because of this, and Hines was also a little surprised by Gong Hao's hard work.

Before leaving, Gong Hao asked Haines what to do with the mutated ghost-faced flower, and Haines replied flatly, "If it's useless, just throw it away."

The moment he walked down the stairs, Gong Hao clenched his fist and swung it vigorously in the air a few times.

Great, solved two problems at once.

It's just that if Lancelot knew that the lotus flower named after him ended up being thrown away, wouldn't it be too comfortable?

That's fine, anyway, this is an order from Hines, if you want to hate, then hate Hines.

———————————

About the update, explain it here. Yuanyuan and the website have reached an agreement, and the number of words to be updated every month is not less than 200,000 words (if it is not completed, money will be deducted.)

So this month is updated according to 200,000 words. But I don't guarantee that I can finish 200,000 words next month. Because everyone knows that not long after Tianfeng ended, I started uploading Alchemist. Although there are 100,000 words of archived manuscripts, in fact, I don't think these archives are enough. Everyone knows that Tianfeng also had 100,000 words of manuscripts saved at the beginning, but the result was that the manuscripts were exhausted in the middle of the period. During that time, I returned to the point where I wrote the same day's biography on the same day, and the quality declined. Although there were family reasons leading to this result at the time, who can guarantee that there will not be any other circumstances in the future that will cause the same situation when I write alchemy?

So I originally intended to upload at least 200,000 words, but unfortunately the editor was pressing hard. I will try to write more this month. If I can’t meet the standard in my mind, I am willing to give up the bonus for next month and only send 100,000 words for the time being. Then I will try my best to keep updating 200,000 words every month.

All of this is done for the sake of quality. Yuanyuan's writing skills may not be higher than others, but Yuanyuan will definitely write very seriously and hard. Every time I write an article, I always have to read and revise it repeatedly. It is often even after more than a dozen chapters are written, and then go back and modify the previous content.

If you pay attention, you may find that you can hardly find many typos in the early manuscripts of Tianfeng, but the number of typos in the later manuscripts increased significantly, because it was written and passed on the same day, and there was basically no chance to read it several times.

And once the manuscript is posted, I will basically not make any changes.

So in my novels, there will never be such things as overhaul for a period of time, temporary suspension of updates, sickness today, a day off, and too obvious inconsistencies. Obviously someone died in the front, but came back to life in the back. Obviously, he was still a junior samurai in the front, but he would be able to overthrow the sanctuary in the future. This kind of thing will definitely not appear in my novel. But all of this requires sufficient deposit guarantees. So, next month is the only time I can't be sure about updating the word count. But no matter what, by 2010, I will try my best to update 200,000 words a month. This will basically not change. (Well, if there are no accidents... If there is, it can only be that the final dust of that incident has settled, but I guess as long as I don't go to court, it won't have much impact on me.)

Finally, let me explain one more point, in fact, I also said it in Tianfeng: I am very disgusted to write something to subscribe and bookmark after the end of a chapter. It's not that I don't want to do this, but it will affect my reading mood. So I rarely write this kind of content after the story is over. But I still solemnly declare: I hope everyone supports the genuine version and rejects the pirated version. Without your support, the author cannot survive, but starve to death.

If you support the author and like the author's work, please support it with actions.
