Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 469
Chapter 469
Alchemy Case I know very well that the subjects, who study conflicting ideologies, have similar temperaments.
In fact, the hero of the corridor, Ivar van Hohenheim, was mild, but he used to say lunatic-like remarks once in a while.
[Now, wash your body thoroughly before learning alchemy.]
[Wash yourself? Is it completely ice water now? Do you know how cold it is?]
[At least, isn’t cold water better than a cold body?]
[…]
[When the heart stops, the body gets cold.]
This is his behavior.
[Davey, here are the materials for the formula. I’ll give you even this out of conscience]
[You’re not going to ask me to do anything with this, right?]
[I know it well. If you can’t adjust your magic to my standards, I’ll just burn you with hellfire for about three days.]
In a situation where you can’t even burn to death, the spirit of life that wasn’t there after three days of hell fire soars.
The reason why they were saying this was that, according to the elder brother of Golgotha, this dwarf named Edison, from the Blue Rock tribe, was also such a dirty-tempered man.
To be precise, I would say it’s eccentric.
The School of Alchemy is known to contribute to the technological development of the continent in a vast field, divided into various positions, led by the president.
What was surprising was that it was known that a lot of the technological development was invented by this dwarf named Edison.
“I’m saying this out of an old woman’s heart, but that snarky old man is a nobleman who will never give in to any kind of threat. The last time we met was more than 10 years ago, so it probably hasn’t changed much.”
First of all, the dwarves are kind to me.
It was also because I had a record of repairing the original flash, the symbol of the dwarves and the work of Surt, the god of the thousand and one nights, whom they revered like a god.
In addition to that, the relationship with the dwarves is close enough to ignite their stagnant will.
The richest city-state in alchemy.
This small country, where the prestige of the president of the alchemy school was stronger than that of the king, seemed to have developed considerably despite such a deformed power structure.
It also meant that the rate of alchemy was overwhelmingly higher than that of normal cities.
Of course, even if you saw it, you wouldn’t be able to do it as one of the most heterogeneous regions on the continent.
Kiyiing!!!
Looking at the means of transportation with a large number of Mana Stones manifested, Perserk showed an interesting expression, and Lune gave a bored expression.
“The technical skills of this place are underestimated by Lune.”
“It is a technology built from the ground up. That much is great.”
Lune’s expression looked bored, as if someone was not the symbol of ultra-high-tech.
“Analyzes that it is not judged that the information by Davey’s blueprint can be understood. 37 percent chance.”
“Basically, that would be it.”
A dwarf from the Blue Rock tribe that the Golgotha brothers introduced.
Edison, who was in charge of the Alchemy School’s technical advisor, did not immediately reply.
He is a peculiar eccentric who has a history of refusing to even meet the emperor of the empire, and is evaluated as an eccentric old man who has no sociability except for technical skills.
In other words, it means that it is not easy to get his cooperation in any way.
“I know how stubborn the technicians are.”
After that, I was able to reach the central workshop, Perry Holk, where the Alchemy Sect’s headquarters building was located.
This place, which means a workshop of creation in ancient language, is extremely developed in alchemy, which studies physical laws, creates new materials, or develops technologies, unlike the Mage’s Tower, which studies non-physical laws.
Of course, even though they are on bad terms now, they are releasing various items to the world in connection with the Mage Tower.
“Welcome, what are you looking for?”
A man in a neat outfit gave me a business smile at the entrance.
“I came to meet someone.”
“People… are you talking about it? Most of the artisans are currently working on it… Oh, if you write down your name, I will check and deliver it to you.”
At that, I wrote Edison’s name on the first blank of the parchment he held out.
“Hmm…”
The man who read the contents made a confused expression.
“Are you here to meet Edison’s technical advisor?”
“yes.”
“Hmm…”
he said quietly.
“Actually, I hate to say this, but it’s probably impossible.”
“Lunes demand an explanation of the reason.”
In response to Lynne’s question instead, the man looked at Lynne and gave him a slightly puzzled expression.
Even on the outside, Lune has very unusual characteristics.
From the circle on top of the head to the wings on the back.
Of course, these elements are usually covered up with magic as they don’t want to stand out for nothing, but the clothes that Lynne insists on are hard to find anywhere.
“It seems that you are from a high aristocratic family. I don’t know why you want to meet with the technical advisor, but recently Edison’s technical advisor is working on a big project and is refusing most of the meetings.”
“Hmm…”
I knew that it would not be easy to meet him.
“I’ll recommend a way to meet you, even if it means paying a bribe…. That old man is more strict than I thought.”
Hearing his smile, I asked quietly.
“A big project?”
“Ah yes. In fact, Edison’s technical advisor recently took on a large debt. Since he is a person who has no material desires, he has no money accumulated, so he is in a situation where his position is quite difficult. Oh, you shouldn’t talk like this.”
He slammed his mouth and smiled.
“Please keep this a secret. Oh, you can write the name of the person who visited below.”
At that, I took up a quill, wrote my name, and turned around.
“Then please.”
When I asked to meet him through his letter, this lazy old man seemed to give me an answer after a year or so.
Did you say three-and-a-half?
I didn’t necessarily need his skills, but I needed to talk to him to get the manpower I needed for the work I wanted to create.
“Wait, where did you see this name… Eww?! Please stand!”
I could hear the screams of the man who entertained me from behind, but I leisurely left Perry Holk and headed towards the plaza.
Befitting the headquarters of the School of Alchemy, numerous materials needed for alchemy were bought and sold in the central plaza.
There were even rare materials that were hard to find.
In fact, some items were even tagged as prohibited for export.
“It is very rich for a small country.”
“It’s not like there’s a head office for nothing.”
Whether it’s the Holy Kingdom, the headquarters of the temple, the headquarters of the Mage Tower, or the Alchemy School, it has a great position on this continent. So, if it was a natural result, it was natural.
“Looks like it’s not easy to meet.”
It was as Perserk said, sitting on my shoulder and yawning.
An old man who is eccentric and doesn’t want to meet people well, is working on a big project because of debt, so I didn’t think I would be able to meet him just by going.
“Then let’s get some ingredients here since we’re here.”
Export Prohibited Items There are some key ingredients that can only be obtained here.
A lot of materials and catalysts were needed to adapt the blueprints devised on the Yulgian continent to suit the energy sources and materials of this world.
The problem was that there were many items that were not sold as export banned items.
Wouldn’t it be okay to take it away with simple force?
There’s no reason why.
In fact, it was also because of the opinion that he wanted to take a look at the headquarters of the alchemy school.
Perserk, who wants to see the world, and my taste, who likes to go around and see things, matched.
“Come on! oh my! You are a tall and handsome son of an aristocrat. What can I give you?”
“3 bags of Schottmann’s solution 1.5 liters Verbe Youngcho.”
At my words, the man looked at me as if he was puzzled.
“Looks like you know a lot about catalysts and materials, right?”
“Because it is an essential ingredient.”
“Haha, I’m guessing you’re from outside, but I’m sure they don’t sell those ingredients anywhere else.”
City-state governments are using a strategy to protect technology and attract tourists to a certain level by only selling this kind of goods here.
I think it’s a fair amount.
“ruler! Here it is. Unfortunately, it’s an item with a lot of tax… I’ll have to give you 1 gold.”
“Please set it to 3 gold.”
At my words, the man rubbed his hands with a merchant’s smile.
“Oh, of course! Please wait here for a moment. Oh, it must be a lot to carry…”
“Just give it to me.”
At my words, he whimpered in the storage room and brought out something.
The solution was kept in small wooden barrels and large sacks.
“Here it is.”
After paying him the balance, I immediately lifted the ingredients.
The man who seemed to be the owner of the store expressed his doubts about my actions, but soon after, when I opened the air and threw them into the subspace, he showed a surprised expression.
“Oh oh! Your guest must be a wizard!”
It’s not easy for those who have a black eye on magic to tell whether what I’m using is subspace magic or just a magic tool.
“By the way, isn’t there a separate asylt extract?”
I bought most of the other ingredients, but when I couldn’t find one important ingredient, I quietly asked.
“You mean asylt extract? Ah… that’s…”
He shook his head, speechless.
“It’s definitely hard to find around here. The quantity is so small, and it seems that there has been a bad harvest recently in the cultivation of Asylt flowers. So everyone is sucking their fingers.”
At the words of the merchant who told me the situation, I walked around the store and found out why it was the only one that wasn’t there.
“I’m sorry to our customers, but it’s not easy for us to find a property for sale as demand has overwhelmingly exceeded supply. Oh, if you are from a noble family, how about participating in an auction? There was even a rumor that there was a small amount of acid extract coming out of it.”
“Thanks for the information.”
At my words, he seems to be laughing haha.
“I can’t do this much for you. Come again!”
Leaving behind him who even waved his hand, I pondered.
“I need some asylt extract.”
Asylt petals are not cultivated in the Eastern Continent. In addition, it seemed that there was a shortage phenomenon because it was impossible to export other than here.
“What do you plan on doing, Davey?”
“Should I even pick flowers myself?”
It seems that the problem is that an accident occurred in a place where flowers are grown artificially, and the cultivation volume has drastically decreased, so it is not easy to find it in the simple vicinity.
“If so, are you planning to participate in that auction?”
“If there’s a catalyst you need, let’s go buy it and take a look around.”
“It’s nice to see.”
Perserk smiled expectantly.
“Okay, Davey. Now I’m going to the observatory overlooking this city.”
she said, guiding me vigorously.
“You promised? Are you sure you want to show it to the original woman?”
“…okay. let’s go.”
It is true that time is running out.
As all the big issues have been resolved, the current time has been similar to a vacation that I haven’t seen in a very long time.
“Davey-nim, you have entered all the map status of the city. Lynn is navigating.”
“okay.”
Let’s walk leisurely like ordinary people.
I started walking slowly along with Lune.
The outskirts of the city were full of giant golems for fortification.
Golems are often referred to as the flower of alchemists.
As such, there is no other place with as many golems as here.
While walking on a deserted road, I watch the golems in the distance move very slowly.
“Most of the golems have that speed, right?”
Usually, if the golem is large, the speed is slow and energy consumption is high. Golems that are smaller in size are less powerful or perform poorly in many problems.
It was a story that was different from gangster golems like the Decepticons that threatened even the sword master class as a single entity.
“how is it. good?”
“That’s what you mean.”
Before heading to the observatory, Perserk smiles as if he likes the surrounding scenery.
It was then.
“Get out of the way! Move!!”
An urgent cry was heard from somewhere.
profit!! profit!!
At the same time, I saw a large metal golem roughly four meters tall running furiously at me from the other side of the empty alley.
“Aaaaaa!!”
The girl’s voice was clearly audible as she screamed, but she was nowhere to be seen when she looked around.
On the contrary, the golem runs fiercely as if it would run past me.
“Destroy Lynne.”
When I sighed and said this, Lynn began to collect the particles of light with one hand.
What Lune held in her hand was a black tool.
I couldn’t pull out the presser foot.
Or something called a crowbar or a paroo.
“Lynnga. Highly esteemed the savior of mankind. Underestimate the running junk!”
The disk on top of the guy’s head breaks the illusion magic and rotates fiercely as it emerges.
At the same time, light flowed from the baru held in his hand and quickly burrowed towards the ferociously charging metal pig golem.
“Get out of the way!!”
Kwaaang!!!!
In spite of the screaming girl’s cry, Lynne jumped right in front of the golem, ignorantly rammed the golem, and then lifted the paroo and slashed the golem’s huge, round chest.
Kwajik!! With a sound, the golem flew through the air once.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac!!”
The golem, which had been driven into a solid brick wall with a ghastly scream, finally collapsed the wall and then sagged.
The girl is nowhere to be seen despite her rather large figure.
As if to match my thoughts, I heard a rough kicking sound from the golem’s distorted chest, and soon as the steel plate was ripped open, something came out of it.
What came out of the acrid black smoke was a girl with dark red hair covered in soot.
What was surprising was how beautiful she looked even though she was covered in soot.
He seems to be about the same age as me.
Crawling out with a teary face, she grabbed the back of her neck and murmured.
“Such a crazy kid, it’s my neck… oops… a fucking piece of scrap metal!”
It gives a certain feeling that the feeling of being a kiangdak comes in at a glance.
The girl spat out harsh words and frowned, then sighed at the distorted golem.
“Oh, my masterpiece…”
With a teary face, she shed her lingering feelings toward the smashed golem, and then slowly approached Lune, who collided with the golem.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“I judged that Lune’s outer armor was very strong. Make it clear that you won’t be pushed by such junk.”
“Go junk?!”
Embarrassed, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Lune, but he didn’t seem interested.
Eventually, she grabbed the back of my neck and stared blankly at me.
Silence ensues for a while.
“I guess it’s the Agago group. sorry. My name is Tiara. That one…”
“My name is Davey.”
At my words, she hesitated.
Then, after looking at me here and there, he asked me.
“Hmm… I’ve seen this face a lot… Well, it must have been a similar name in the world.”
Shaking her head, she looked at me.
“Anyway, I’m sorry. Uh hmm! Well, I didn’t mean to do it on purpose…”
“I almost got two people hooked up with that mistake.”
My sarcasm made her break into a cold sweat.
“That is it. Obviously, it was perfect up to the test run, but it suddenly caused an error… Whoa…”
She sighed and looked at me.
And then I narrow my eyes
“hey. Have you ever met me?”
I shook my head at that question.
“well.”
“is it so? Why are you so familiar?”
Concerned, she immediately jumped up and dismantled the smashed golem and took out a small core from it.
“Hey. This is also meant to be, so why don’t you go to my studio to apologize? I’m sorry to just let it go.”
“Never mind.”
“No. Even after seeing this, I learned that since you come from an aristocratic family, you have to make sure that you have a good relationship!”
She was the one who grabbed my arm without hesitation.
Do ladies from aristocratic families these days carry that much of a cantaloupe temperament?
Not at all.
No human being could compare to her.
Even Illina, who penetrated through the window.
I was given an incredibly beautiful appearance, but I was given a cantaloupe temperament to match.
It’s a strange thing.
‘She’s quite an attractive girl.’
‘That kind of style is just tiring.’
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, if you have an accident, it is a style that spreads into a major accident.
In fact, she almost had an accident with a golem she supposedly made.
You can never come up with a good image.
So, there was nothing good about the relationship with her.
“Huh? Hey! Where are you going!”
“The victim is fine, so it doesn’t matter. You can go your way.”
At my nonchalant words, she stopped me.
“Don’t do that…”
“Don’t make jokes. Did you think I wouldn’t know that you were trying to get that part together?”
“Eheh, I got caught.”
She smiled mischievously, saw my expressionless expression, and then let out a sigh.
“Huh, I’m sorry. It’s a joke. If you don’t know, get a diagnosis. Because the studio has good physical examination equipment.”
this year?
It was then.
Suddenly, blood trickled down her nose and her eyes widened.
It was probably a blood vessel burst due to a collision a while ago.
“ah! Blossom.”
Muttering blankly, she stood there for a while.
It’s like you’ve become a different person.
and.
She exuded such a different atmosphere.
It quickly fell back without power.
It was completely stunned.
“Hemophobia…”
muttered Perserk, who had been looking at her, and I looked at her collapsed on the floor with a stunned expression.
“What are you going to do, Davey?”
“What the heck?”
My intuition wasn’t always wrong, so.
“I didn’t see anything.”
Leaving her back without regret, I moved on.
