Almighty Alchemist

"Sisser."

Siser, who was busy feeding an amethyst bear, turned her head to look at Gong Hao: "What's the matter, Greer? Have you finished your work?"

"Yes." Gong Hao replied: "I happen to have time, so I wanted to come over and see if you need my help."

"Oh, that's great, thank you very much, Greer." Sisser called out, "I happen to be a bit busy here. See that pond next to you? Go help me fish out a golden thread fish, and then pull out ten scales. Remember not to kill it, only this one is left."

"Okay, Sisser." Gong Hao walked towards the pond.

"Be careful of its teeth, they are very sharp, they are piranhas." Sisser yelled loudly, and the bear in the cage roared impatiently. In a panic, Siser threw a large piece of fresh meat and a few pieces of amethyst into it. The former satisfies the stomach of the violent bear, while the latter helps the violent bear recover from the wound - it has just had a lot of blood drawn out.

After a lot of busy work, Sisser finally finished the work in hand. Seeing that it was still early, Sisser said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Greer, I used a lot of materials today, which kept me busy. Fortunately, you came to help."

"Actually, I didn't come here specifically to help, but I happened to come to you with something to do. I saw that you were busy, and I was embarrassed to disturb you, so I will help you with the work first."

"So that's the case, tell me what's going on?"

"I thought you could give me a pen and some paper?"

"What do you want that for?" Sisser was a little confused.

"To keep a list, you know those big people always say what they need tomorrow and then leave, but what if we are too busy to forget? I think it would be better to write it down... You know I can read."

Sither understood: "I really envy you who can read. I will go to Lord Andrew for a pen and paper. It's not a big deal. There were few servants who could read here before, so the list of materials is meaningless."

"Thank you very much." Gong Hao felt that the greatest luck for him to travel here might be that Igleer could read and write.

When leaving, Gong Hao said to Sisser: "If you are still too busy in the future, you can come and call me at any time."

"That's great." Sissy said happily.

Early the next morning, Siser brought a pen and paper for Gong Hao.

Gong Hao began to carefully record the growth status of the various magic plants in his greenhouse.

That's right, Gong Hao didn't ask for a pen and paper to record the list of materials, it was just a side effect. His real purpose was to carefully observe, study, and analyze the growth status of these magic plants.

There is one thing that Gong Hao doesn't understand.

It is these magical plants in the greenhouse, many of which are already endangered species. The servants must serve them carefully, and while obtaining the materials, they must not let them die. But if this is the case, why can't it be cultivated well?

It seems that the great alchemist who has been nesting in the tower all year round has no habit of sowing knowledge and wealth. From Xiu Yi's memory, Gong Hao also found that almost the entire Fengming Continent lacks the concept of this kind of reserve for the future.

Perhaps this is the real reason for the decline of alchemy. Otherwise, these endangered magic plants can be re-emerged through artificial cultivation.

Gong Hao tried to take care of these magic plants more carefully.

Today, Gong Hao was delighted to find that among the forty-two kinds of magic plants under his care, one matured and germinated.

It was the bloody orchid that ate a piece of Gong Hao's flesh, and now it gave Gong Hao a reward.

His wound has not fully healed yet.

A bright red demon seed just lay in Gong Hao's palm, emitting a coquettish red light.

If he could grow it alive, wouldn't he have to worry about the bloody orchid being extinct once it died?

Do whatever comes to mind.

Gong Hao went to ask Sisser for a flower pot, Sisser asked him what he was doing, Gong Hao answered him, but Sisser shook his head and said, "That's completely meaningless, Graier. Bloody orchids are very difficult to grow and survive. They are greedy for flesh and blood when they grow into seedlings, and they need living flesh and blood."

"I can feed them."

"But that doesn't mean they can survive. You must know that every magic plant is spiritual. They cultivate themselves by absorbing the essence of elements. Most of them are very delicate in their young stages and are very easy to die. You may fail if you do this."

"But I want to try."

"Okay, since you're so persistent, I'll get you a flower pot for the sake of helping me." Sisser nodded helplessly.

"Better get a bigger one."

"Why?"

"I think the spaciousness is good for it."

Sisser gave him a weird look: "Well, you're such a weirdo."

Gong Hao smiled happily.

That night, Sisser came to area 13 with a large flowerpot in her arms.

Unexpectedly, Andrew also came.

"I heard that the bloody orchid has produced a seed, and you plan to cultivate it to live?" Andrew's voice was very gloomy.

Gong Hao thought for a while, and replied cautiously: "Master Andrew, I heard that the bloody orchid in Fengming Continent is extinct. I think... I think maybe I can grow a plant. In this way, when my lord needs the bloody orchid for experiments in the future, I can have more materials for backup."

There was a hint of appreciation on Andrew's face: "Very well, it seems that you are not only a beautiful child, but also very sensible and good at doing things. No wonder the baroness likes you so much."

"Thank you for your praise, sir. Since I'm here, I should do things well."

"So how are you going to breed it?"

"I observed the bloody orchid during this time, and I found that it prefers a humid and cool environment, so I plan to move the seeds to a relatively dark corner of the flower house to cultivate. But at present, I am still not sure how it needs to be cultivated to survive. You know, I still have very little knowledge in this area."

Andrew looked at Gong Hao in surprise, and he thought carefully for a while before saying: "It's not that no one has tried to breed magic plants like bloody orchids, but most of them have failed. The seeds of bloody orchids are of no use to us. If you want to try, I will not object. Oh, by the way, if you want to know about magic plants, I suggest you go to the first floor of the Alchemy Tower in your free time. There is a library there, and there are many books about this. You can look for information, maybe it will be helpful to you."

"Can I enter the alchemy tower?"

It was only then that Andrew remembered that servants were not allowed to enter the Alchemy Tower. He thought for a while and then said: "I remember that you can read and write, which is a good thing. I will give you a choice. The library of the Alchemy Tower needs a scribe, mainly to record some experimental data and new discoveries of various materials. Alchemy is a long-term knowledge, and no one knows when we will have new discoveries, so such a scribe is always needed. If you are the scribe, then there will be an apprentice on Pierre's side who will be relieved from the heavy recording work. What's more, you have to cultivate the bloody orchid. If you don't do your job well because of the clerk's work, I will not forgive you. That is to say, you will gain the opportunity to enter the first floor of the alchemy tower through extra work, are you willing?"

Gong Hao's eyes sparkled with excitement: "I am willing!"

Of course he is willing, for him, this is a rare opportunity. Being able to enter the library of the alchemy tower meant that he could learn a lot about alchemy. If the magician is represented by powerful magic power, then the alchemist is to strengthen himself with rich knowledge.

No matter what, it is impossible for Gong Hao to let go of such an opportunity.

Seeing Gong Hao's excited expression, Andrew muttered softly, "He's such an interesting kid."

He casually took off a badge from his chest and threw it to Gong Hao: "Hold this, and you can freely enter and exit the alchemy tower. Anyone who enters without this item will be killed by the puppet warrior on the spot. But I want to remind you that your walking range can only be limited to the first floor. If you dare to enter the second floor... Hmph, alchemists don't only have golems as a weapon. I will let you know what terror is."

With that said, he turned and left.

Fundamentally speaking, he had no hope at all that Gong Hao could breed Bloody Blood Orchid. However, it can reduce the workload of an apprentice for the mentor, and it is also a good way to win the favor of the mentor.

—————————————————

The tall tower in the center of the castle has always been the place that the servants yearn for.

Each layer represents a different status.

The top floor of the tower is the laboratory of the great alchemist Hines. He is like a god on the island, overlooking all living beings, and controlling this small kingdom.

There are about 200 puppet warriors in the entire castle, all of whom only obey Hines. As long as he gave an order, these puppet warriors would kill any target he designated for him.

The strength of a puppet warrior is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary third-level warrior. In the samurai ladder which is divided into ten steps, such a step is not considered high. But this rank is the most important power of the mainland countries. As the number of warriors above the third rank gradually decreases, they are not suitable to be the main force in the battle of large corps. Therefore, the main force of the kingdom is generally composed of three to four warriors.

If a third-level warrior was to fight against a puppet warrior, the winner would probably be a third-level warrior, because the puppet warrior was after all just a puppet made by an alchemist, with low intelligence and lack of flexibility.

But if a thousand third-level warriors faced off against a thousand puppet warriors, the winner would be the puppet warrior, and it would be a big victory.

For the same reason, these puppets have no feelings, don't understand fear, are loyal to the generals, and obey orders. Even if they are asked to commit suicide, they will never say no. Even if their hands and feet are cut off, they will crawl over to fight against the enemy.

The only way to eliminate them is to kill them completely.

On the battlefield, such fighters are undoubtedly the most popular among generals. They won't argue for military pay, won't make mutiny, won't cause trouble like a group of veterans, don't even need food, drink water, just need energy spar, even if they fight in the worst environment, they won't be tired, even if they are surrounded by the enemy, they won't lose their morale, and they won't show signs of fleeing or retreating, but will only fight to the death.

Because of this, during the rise of the Lance Empire, only about 2,000 puppet warriors were used to defeat an army of 20,000 people. The horror of the puppet warrior can be seen from this. And this is just an ordinary puppet. On top of the puppet warriors, there are even more terrifying flesh and blood puppets that are equivalent to fourth-level warriors. It is said that during the Hundred Years' War, golems comparable to warriors of the seventh and eighth ranks appeared. Unfortunately, with the decline of alchemy, countries cherished the alchemy, and the production techniques of these golems were gradually lost.

The most frightening puppet in the legend is a troll god built by the great alchemist Electra, whose combat power is almost equal to that of top warriors. During those crazy years, Electra once relied on his Demon God Legion to almost sweep across the entire continent, shocking the world.

However, with the mysterious disappearance of Electra, the Demon God Legion also disappeared and never saw the light of day. The production method of the troll god was thus lost.

However, the magic and greatness of the alchemist can also be seen from this.

Every time Gong Hao thought of these miraculous legends, he felt quite excited.

Although half of the reason for his hard work is to express himself desperately and avoid possible dangers as much as possible, but as he deepened his understanding of alchemy, he found that he gradually fell in love with this science.

He was doing experiments before reincarnation, and he was born with a strong interest in this aspect. Now that he came to this world, all he saw were strange creatures, and all he came into contact with were things he had never thought of. A huge and complex systematic knowledge was opening the door to him, so that he yearned to decipher its mysteries even more.

My father once said: The source of every scientist's success comes from the thirst for knowledge and science. People who do not have this hunger for knowledge will never become top masters.

But now, standing in front of this vast knowledge school, looking at the hardcover booklets in the library, imagining that almost all the magic knowledge in Fengming Continent is included in it, he felt a hunger rising from the depths of his heart.

Too eager to learn and understand this knowledge.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing standing there in a daze?" A boy in a gray apprentice robe called to Gong Hao.

This cry woke Gong Hao up from his thoughts, and he hurried forward: "Is it Lord Neil? I came here to take over the work of the clerk under the instruction of Lord Andrew."

Neil glanced at this "humble servant" with contemptuous eyes, and then said coldly: "You don't need to call me a lord. Here, besides Master Hines, only three people are qualified to be called lords. You can just call me Master Neil."

"Yes, Master Neil."

Although he is an apprentice, but he wants to call himself a mage, Gong Hao smiles in his heart. A thought flashed in my mind: Are there three people who can be called adults?

Besides Andrew and Pierre, who is the big guy here?

Forcibly suppressing the doubts in his heart, Gong Hao said respectfully: "Then, Lord Neil, how should I start working?"

"It's very simple. When you come here to work for two hours at noon every day, someone will tell you the experimental results of the day, and you will be responsible for recording, then classifying, and filing. If you have a set of proven and effective production methods, you can organize it separately into a book, then paste the cover, and write down the name. The rest is nothing."

"Yes, Master Neil, I understand."

"Remember, you must be as familiar with the information here as possible. After all, no one can memorize all the experimental results and data. Many times adults will need to come in to check the information. At that time, you must give all the records to the adults as soon as possible, instead of looking here and there."

Gong Hao's eyes lit up: "That is to say, I have to look through all the books here before I can find the materials they need for adults as quickly as possible."

The apprentice named Neil hesitated for a moment: "It stands to reason that in your capacity, you are not allowed to get in touch with the advanced alchemy here... But it doesn't matter, anyway, you..."

Neil didn't continue, but Gong Hao's heart tightened slightly.

Neil continued: "In this case, I think you can browse the books here as you like. Well, I can finally get rid of this damn paperwork, and I don't want to come to this ghost place again. I hate being a clerk!"

Neil laughed and left, leaving Gong Hao alone in the empty library.
