Royal Alchemist

Jon is tasked with researching alternatives to making tinder.This is a difficult task for him. Qiuye is unconstrained in the refinement of fire seeds. If there is a new idea, it will be used in the next fire seed, and each fire seed is different.

This tossed Jon badly, analyzing every spark almost killed him, let alone looking for a substitute.The simplified counterfeit version refined from the gourd painting, the form switching is slow, and it completely loses its combat advantage.

In desperation, he could only secretly ask Qiu Ye for help.

Qiu Ye didn't hide his secrets, and helped him find alternatives as much as possible, and told him the refining skills.

A few hours passed after the two discussed. Qiuye was still in good spirits, but Jon seemed listless and distracted from time to time.

"Jon?" Qiu Ye waved her hand, trying to get his attention, "If you are tired, let's rest."

Jon rubbed his temples, put down the notebook in his hand, and his eyes stayed on Qiuye's neckline: "Hey, your buttons are very unique."

Qiu Ye touched the first button of the jacket, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, but she said with distaste: "Feng Qi made it for me, it's so gaudy, I really can't do anything about him."

This is a light green leaf-shaped button. One day when Feng Qi was inspecting the gem processing factory, he accidentally found a light green gem. He had someone cut it into a leaf shape, make a button, and nail it to Qiu Ye's neckline.The crystal gems have a touch of green, like the breeze blowing through the mountains and green grass, condensing the spring on the clothes.

"It's so beautiful." Jon admired, and then he was stunned at the button.

Qiu Ye looked at him worriedly, tried to raise the topic several times, but couldn't speak.

"You said, why do I do so much?" Jon took out a small box of milky white ointment from the side, picked out some and massaged it on the back of his hand.His hands were slightly red, which was due to skin allergies caused by frequent refining and exposure to too many raw materials. Apprentice alchemists often have problems in this regard, but the situation will improve as their strength increases.Jon has been promoted to a great alchemist, but he got allergic to his hands, which shows how hard he has been working lately.

Akiba tentatively replied: "For...the victory of mankind?"

Jon pulled the corner of his mouth: "I'm not as noble as you."

"Then we can't watch us being killed by the dragon people."

"It's okay if they're all dead." When Jon said this, he was still massaging his palms intently, as if it had nothing to do with him, that kind of casual tone, with a hint of indifference.

Qiu Ye was a little surprised. Although Jon is not a warm-hearted person, he is still kind and optimistic. Otherwise, he would not have been friends for so many years. What made him say such world-weary words?

"Oh, that's fine, what am I talking about with you?" Jon waved his hand, "Come here today, it's almost finished. Although it's not as good as tinder, it's barely usable."

"Go get some rest."

Jon responded perfunctorily and ended the communication.

Qiu Ye was stunned for a while, without thinking too much, she began to think about alternatives to Tinder.Although it is urgently needed by Solomon, if it can be refined successfully, it can be popularized on ordinary fighters, and it will also be of great help to Shining Empire. After all, the amount of fire that he can refine by himself is limited, until late at night. He was doing well, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration in his dream, and jumped up from the bed, startling Feng Qi who was sleeping drowsily beside him.

"What are you doing?" Feng Qi closed his eyes and reached out to catch him.

"Don't make trouble! I thought of an excellent ingredient, and I want to tell Jon." Qiuye knocked his hand off.

Feng Qi turned over and continued to sleep, Qiu Ye took out the communicator and sent a message to Jon, just put down the communicator and Jon replied.

Qiu Ye looked at the time, and ran to the corner of the room with the communicator in her arms for fear of disturbing Feng Qi: "It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"

Jon didn't even change his clothes, it was still the same in the afternoon, his hair was messed up, but he didn't show any signs of sleeping.

"Let me try the material you mentioned." Jon didn't respond to him at all, and fiddled with the pile of things in front of him. After a while, he raised his head and said calmly, "It seems to be true That's right, if that's the case, it's almost done, thank you."

The success of the simplified version of Tinder means that the overall combat effectiveness of human beings can be greatly improved. What exciting news!But Qiu Ye's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished by Jon's cold sentence "It's almost done".Qiu Ye was like a drowned chicken whose feathers were soaked, completely dumbfounded, but luckily he got up from the warm bed in the middle of the night excitedly.

"Jon, are you okay?" Qiuye asked worriedly.

"Huh?" Jon raised his eyelids lazily.

Qiu Ye was about to say something, when there was something on his shoulder, when he looked up, it was Feng Qi who was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he put a piece of clothes on him, then squatted down, cupped his feet, and put the shoes on him. On bare feet.

His movements were very gentle, making Qiuye's feet itchy, and she smiled unconsciously.

Jon saw the movement on his side, and said in a muffled voice: "That's it, goodbye."

Before Qiu Ye had time to say anything, Jon cut off the communication.

"It's all your fault, I lost my mind!" Qiu Ye complained unreasonably.

Feng Qi pinched his face, and went back to sleep.

Qiu Ye wrapped her clothes tightly and shrunk into a ball, re-initiating the communication request.

Jon quickly picked it up again, and asked listlessly, "Is there anything else?"

"I suddenly had an idea!" Qiu Ye raised a bright smile, "What do you think you are doing so hard in Solomon, you should come to my side! Make sure you eat well and sleep soundly every day! I will give you ten fire seeds , you take it to Safirol, and then follow me!"

Jon cheered up and chatted with him: "Ten want to get rid of me, at least twenty?"

"No problem, as long as you are willing to come, thirty will do!"

"Then say thirty! Where can we meet?"

"What? You are too greedy!"

"Hey, you said thirty by yourself, and you regretted it as soon as you said it. Are you so shameless?"

Qiu Ye gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Thirty will be thirty! I'll go all out!"

After setting the time and place, Qiu Ye slowly returned to the bed, staring straight at the ceiling, no sleepiness at all, the smile on his face had already been wiped away, only deep worries remained.

"Look at you, you're just worrying about it." Feng Qi said with his eyes closed.

Qiu Ye sighed: "As long as I support him, a few months have passed and he has not been able to refine a substitute for the fire seed. Safirol must have put a lot of pressure on him."

Feng Qi opened one eye, glanced at it and then closed it: "This is the only thing you're worried about?"

Qiu Ye slipped into Feng Qi's arms, "I hope everyone can be happy."

"Actually, many people in this world are unhappy because of themselves." Feng Qi hugged Qiu Ye tightly, "Go to sleep."

-

The two met on a planet called Xitong on the border, which was in the territory of the Shining Empire and used to be a small trading star.After the two countries formed an alliance, Xitong Star became the only trading port of Shining Empire and Solomon Empire.

Qiuye came to a cafe near Xitongxing Port early alone, and ordered a cup of coffee. The TV in the cafe was broadcasting news, and Qiuye drank leisurely while watching TV.But after he took a few sips, he felt a little stuffy, so he unbuttoned the top button and pulled his collar, which didn't seem to relieve it.

Is it the lack of air in the cafe?Qiu Ye changed to a seat by the window, but she was still too stuffy to breathe.

Qiu Ye rolled up a sip of coffee with her tongue, and the bitter taste spread in her mouth, leaving a strong aftertaste.

Just as he was drinking half a cup of coffee, he saw Jon step off a shuttle and head straight for the coffee shop.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Jon took off his coat and threw it aside.

Qiu Ye ordered a cup of coffee for him: "Just now, that ship doesn't seem to be your ship."

"Well, I asked someone to borrow it. I originally wanted to hide it from others secretly, but I didn't expect to be questioned for a long time when entering and exiting the country, and I finally let me show my identity." Jon complained.

"Only merchant ships are allowed here, don't you know? Didn't you choose this place?"

"How can I remember such a thing? I chose this place only because of convenience."

The waiter brought the coffee, Jon stirred it a few times, and took a sip.

The brief silence made the voice on the TV particularly obvious.

The female anchor sat in front of the camera: "Three days in the early morning today, the army of the Dragonites attacked Lufelle Star. General Girod Lennon led the Holy Legion to repel it. The soldiers fought bravely..."

Because the crowds on this planet are mixed, the news of the two empires will be broadcast. Corresponding to the Xitong star is the Lufele star in the Solomon Empire, and there is within the scope of the protection of the Holy Legion. The current head of the Holy Legion is Girod .

When Jon saw the camera of Girod, his expression changed obviously, and his disgust was beyond words.

Boom!A storage box fell on the table, and Jon looked up to see Qiuye's smiling face.

"Your tinder, inspect the goods, and leave with me immediately after the inspection!"

"Thirty, right?" Jon took out the check book from his pocket without even looking at it. "I can only sign a check for you. Anyway, you must have a way to get the money."

"Hey, what about the promised mutiny?"

"You bark so loud, do you want to kill yourself?"

"You cheated my feelings! Draw me a few more zeros!" Although Qiu Ye said so, there was no accident, but when she received the check, she was still a little unwilling to give up, "Are you really not coming? You Seeing that Dean Clark is also on our side, don't you want to reunite with your relatives? You little Dean Clark doesn't want to see the old Dean Clark?"

"Uncle Gordon is independent, how can I compare with him?"

"Come on, come on! Food and lodging included, hey!"

Jon's expression was gloomy, and he let out a long sigh: "You know everything, don't you?"

Qiu Ye put on a blank face, "Know what?"

"Don't pretend, it's because you know that Gerald is getting married next week, so you're trying to persuade me to rebel." Jon took another big sip of coffee, because he drank it too quickly, and he wrinkled from the bitterness brow.

Qiu Ye is still struggling: "How could I know such a thing, so he is getting married, do you want me to give him a congratulatory gift?"

"Qiu Ye, you are such a gentle person." Jon smiled, "But I'm not as fragile as you think, you don't need to worry about me at all! What does he have to do with me if he gets married? I'm so annoying to him, Get out of my sight as soon as possible!"

Only then did Qiuye put away her smiling face, but her expression became even more worried: "Your relationship for so many years..."

"No emotion!" Jon interrupted him, "There is no emotion between us, it's just to entertain each other!"

Being blocked back so bluntly by him, Qiuye didn't even know what to say.

"Okay, I should go." Jon picked up his coat.

"You haven't finished your coffee yet. Didn't you say that the coffee in this shop is famous, and it's brought from the mountains, so you came here because of the name?"

Jon glanced at it: "Let's put it aside, not every cup of coffee has to be finished, I just have to taste it. Also, thank you for your kindling, for helping me solve my urgent needs. You are so kind, so you will definitely be happy. "

"Hey, what are you saying strangely?" Qiu Ye didn't sound very comfortable.

Jon smiled, picked up the storage box and walked out of the cafe.

Qiu Ye watched him walking towards the port and disappearing into the crowd, her heart became even more stuffy, and she suddenly felt palpitations, feeling bad.
