Almighty Alchemist

The child suddenly yelled, the emperor didn't wear clothes at all. So just like that, the scammer's tricks were exposed...

In the warm room, the drama of storytelling is still being staged every night.

After talking about The Emperor's New Clothes, it is customary to have a discussion and answer the many whys raised by Avril Lavigne.

But this time, Avril Lavigne didn't ask questions immediately, but lay on the big soft bed, falling into long thoughts.

Xiuyi, is it true that every powerful person will be deceived by his subordinates?

...Yes, but to a different degree.

Is this what you mean by gain and loss?

Yes, when you are high, power will blind your eyes and make you unable to see many things clearly. You will be deceived, deceived, and surrounded by lies. The biggest difference between a good emperor and a bad emperor may be that he can distinguish what is a lie and what is truth.

Avril fell silent.

As if remembering something, she murmured: My mother is the queen of the empire. She always thinks she is the most beautiful woman. And the servants around her always say the same. But her father has always been indifferent to her. She tried her best to dress herself up, trying to make her father pay more attention to her, but the result...

Avril Lavigne flashed her eyes, and tears dripped down like crystals: Actually, she is already old, it is impossible to keep her beauty anymore, right?

Yes. Gong Hao nodded.

Those maids are lying, aren't they?

...Yes Avril, they are lying. They dare not tell the truth, because they are afraid that your mother will not be able to accept the truth that they are old.

I feel so uncomfortable in my heart. It turns out that I have been living in a lie. Avril got into the bed sadly and covered her head with the quilt.

Gong Hao gently lifted the quilt, looked at the little face covered with tears, and said softly: You are much happier than your mother, because you have at least one friend who will not deceive you.

Avril blinked her big bright eyes, staring at Gong Hao: Are you saying that you will never lie to me?

Gong Hao thought for a while and replied: Avril, you must know that there are many kinds of lies. Some are well-intentioned, some are malicious, some are for self-interest, and some are forced to help you. If you ask me if I will never lie to you, then I can only answer you. I will try my best to protect you and not hurt you. Maybe I will hide something from you in the future, and there may be good-intentioned lies, but no matter what, I will not let you live in lies because I am afraid of you like your subordinates.

Avril lavigne sighed: I don't think being a princess is so good now.

Well, as a princess, you may lose some common people's happiness, but you also won't have common people's troubles. You can't get everything, this is inevitable. When you understand this truth, you have grown up.

Yes, I see.

Avril secretly laughed, it seemed that she remembered her performance when she first came to the island.

Gong Hao feels that the current Avril is much better than when they first met.

Hui, do you think I'm pretty?

Yes, you are beautiful.

Truth?

I really want to say that you are ugly to prove that I dare to tell the truth. But facing the most outstanding creation of the gods, I really can't blaspheme. And that is the real lie.

Your flattery is much better than those servants. The little princess laughed.

Even the truth can be spoken nicely, of course, only for you.

The little princess stuck out her tongue. It seemed that half of her discomfort just now was because she suspected that people's praises for her beauty were all lies, but now that it was confirmed from Gong Hao's mouth, the feeling was naturally different.

She twitched a little.

Okay, don't be sad. Gong Hao said with a smile, I think I have some good news for you.

What good news? Avril knew that Gong Hao's good news would always make her excited.

Maybe I can make your mother more pampered by your father.

You mean...

Beautiful potion, you know. But it can only delay aging, it can't make women more attractive. I think maybe I can develop a better potion, I call it charm potion. Of course, this is all for you, I hope you can keep it a secret...

Avril bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at Gong Hao with slightly upturned eyes, which were full of temptation. She said softly, Hui, it's so kind of you.

Gong Hao patted her little hand: But I need someone to help me. How about lending me a maid? I have to use the potion on her to test the effect. You know that the result of alchemy may be beautiful, but the process is always cruel. I don't want to experiment on you.

Avril nodded desperately.

She rang the bell.

A pretty maid came in.

Isadora, I need a maid for the alchemy experiment of Iglesel. I will lend you to him for the time being. From today onwards, you will obey his orders. Do whatever he asks you to do. Do you understand? Apart from being gentle with Gong Hao, Avril Lavigne most of the time faced other servants with majestic orders, and did not allow them to resist her will. This huge disparity made Gong Hao feel a little weird.

Yes, Your Royal Highness. The maid replied on her knees, and then hurriedly retreated.

Okay, the story is over, you should go to bed early, I'm going back to sleep too. There are still many things to do tomorrow. Gong Hao said to Avril.

Oh, Xiu Yi, I don't want you to leave. Avril Lavigne pulled Gong Hao and refused to let go.

Okay, Avril, I have to go. I have to make you some fireworks before I go to bed. God knows you set off all the fireworks in one day. I said you can only set them off when you are lonely and bored.

Without your time, I've always been lonely.

Gong Hao was a little moved by Avril's answer.

He squeezed Avril Lavigne's soft little hands, got up and left.

He could feel the look of reluctance behind him.

Close the door gently, the maid named Isadora is still waiting at the door.

Gong Hao said to her: Come to my laboratory in the Alchemy Tower tomorrow morning. You will know what you should do then.

Yes, my lord.

The maid answered.

grown ups? Such a fresh title, Gong Hao couldn't help being startled.

Since when did you actually call yourself an adult?

He looked around carefully, only to realize that, as servants, almost all the servants and maids looked at him with unusual eyes.

No one dared to regard Gong Hao as a lowly servant or an ordinary apprentice anymore.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Gong Hao left quickly.

—————————————————

Back in his room, Gong Hao calmed down and returned to his work.

But instead of making fireworks for Avril Lavigne, he is conducting research on flesh and blood puppets.

After seeing the phantom brought by the troll god that day, he realized that Electra probably used elemental vibrations to complete the production of flesh puppets.

He had to prove his conjecture through trial and error.

This evening was the twenty-eighth test.

Carefully moving a mass of soul energy into the soul magic orb, Gong Hao began to meditate.

Stimulate element induction through meditation, adjust the soul energy to the level of elemental vibration after resonance, and then fix the energy in the magic beads at the same rhythm through some alchemy method.

Electra is using the means of magicians to complete alchemy. In a sense, this completely deviates from the original intention of the invention of alchemy. It is no wonder that alchemists cannot recast the glory of Electra.

After all, no alchemist has ever had the talent to practice magic.

Under the effect of meditation, the soul energy in the magic bead began to vibrate like the bead of the troll god, like boiling water, boiling and rolling in the bead.

Gong Hao carefully adjusted his rhythm and sensed the changes in mana. He could clearly feel that during this alchemy process, his ability to sense elements increased significantly, and a trace of magic power entered his body, bringing him an unprecedented sense of joy.

It worked!

Gong Hao was overjoyed.

He finally understood why Electra practiced alchemy as a magician.

It turned out that he was not only doing alchemy, but also practicing magic.

By resonating with the energy of the soul, not only can you create a powerful puppet, but you can even greatly enhance your ability to sense elements. This is actually killing two birds with one stone!

Electra, you are a genius. There is no doubt that he has invented a way of cultivating magic power similar to the extreme exercise method of a samurai.

And the effect is even better, and it will not be terminated due to excessive fatigue.

The energy in the magic beads gradually calmed down after violent elemental shocks, and traces of soul breath began to escape to the periphery. Gong Hao knew that it was because he hadn't invented a method that could effectively restrain the energy of the soul. Obviously, this part belonged to the category of alchemy.

However, it shouldn't be difficult to solve the problem in this area, and Hines probably can do it.

As long as the problem of increasing the strength of the soul is solved, it is equivalent to solving the problem of increasing the combat power of the flesh and blood puppet and the problem of soul selection. The method of increasing the strength of the soul through elemental vibrations is probably only possible by Electra.

Although this is only his first success, and he still needs repeated trials to confirm its feasibility, Gong Hao believes that this is no longer a problem. In a few days, he will be able to report the results to Heins.

After a long breath of relief, Gong Hao only felt a splitting headache.

It turns out that using this method to increase the magic power and exercise the strength of the soul will also have certain sequelae, but fortunately, as long as you sleep, you should be fine.

This is the most relaxed and sweet sleep he has had since he studied the flesh puppets.

In the dream, he realized that he had rescued all the teenagers, and then took them away from Lianhe Island to live a free life.

Maybe it's because there are too many fairy tales, and Gong Hao himself feels that all this seems to be a fairy tale.

——————————————————————

Early the next morning, Isadora came to Gong Hao's laboratory.

My lord, do you have any orders?

Drink this bottle of medicine. Gong Hao took out a medicine bottle and said to Isadora.

This is... Isadora looked at the blue potion in the bottle, feeling a little apprehensive.

Don't worry, it's not poison. It's a hormone that can stimulate human hormones... Well, how can I tell you? Gong Hao thought for a while, and then said: This is a drug that can help you attract men's attention. I made it with enchanting grass and some other special things. It can stimulate your body, so that your body will automatically release a special smell, which is fatal to men. You are good-looking. If you drink this stuff, I guess many men will be fascinated by you.

Isadora blushed: But my lord...

Gong Hao stopped her: I promised to refine a potion for the little princess, which can make women more attractive. You are lucky to be the first test subject of this potion. If you succeed, I will thank you and give you a few bottles of this potion. Believe me, with it, you will definitely find the best man in the future.

Isadora lowered her head, only feeling her heart pounding.

In order to test the effect of the potion, I need you to do one thing for me.

What is it? My lord.

It's very simple, how old are you this year?

Fourteen.

Well, at your age, it is generally easier to attract the attention of your peers. But with this bottle of potion, I need your attractiveness to increase, so that even people who are dozens of years older than you can be fascinated by you.

what do you mean……

Drink this bottle of potion, and then go to Master Pierre's laboratory on the sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower. I don't care what you do, in short, I want you to make sure that Master Pierre pays attention to you. If you can do it, it means that the potion works. If you can't, then I can only test some other methods on you, which may not be easier than drinking potions. Oh, by the way, have you ever learned how to seduce men?

Isadora shook her head hastily.

Then I will teach you something. Remember, this is just a small test. You don't need to worry about the consequences, as long as you can make Master Pierre pay attention to you. But if you let Master Pierre know your purpose, it means that not only the medicine is useless, but also you are useless. You failed to attract him, but you were defeated by him.

Isadora was a little panicked: Can you... try another person?

No. Master Pierre is the most determined man I have ever seen. To confirm the effect of the potion, you must do an experiment on him. But I warn you, if you let Master Pierre know about my experiment, I think he will not be happy. Then the consequence is that I may be punished for this, and the potion will not work. As for your fate... Your princess is not very tempered, right? I guess she will not accept my experiment because of the incompetence of a maid. Then how do you think she will treat you?

Isadora shuddered: Yes, sir, I will definitely not let Master Pierre see any problems.

Very well, you have a month to seduce Master Pierre. During this time, I will keep adjusting the potion to get the best results. You must report to me his movements every day, including the way he looks at you, his movements, and what he said to you.

Yes my lord, but how shall I approach him?

Of course I will create an excuse for you. Gong Hao took out a few bottles of potions: After drinking that, you send these bottles of potions to Mrs. Pierre, saying that you are sent by the princess to be my assistant, to help me deliver some finished products, get some materials, and do some errand work for me. Because the princess wants me to finish the work early so that I can accompany her. As for how you stay there after the things are delivered, it depends on your ability. You can pretend to fall, or you can pretend to be curious about the alchemy process. If you can spend at least an hour in his laboratory one day accepting his invitation, then you and I have succeeded.

Yes, I will try, my lord.

Hearing Isadora say this, Gong Hao felt even more strange.

In the past year and a half, this sentence may have been the most he said, but now, someone said it to him.

Smiling slightly, he put the medicine bottle containing the blue medicine into Isadora's hand.

Drink it, he said.
