Royal Alchemist

"How could it be? You know my attitude. For me, no matter what you become, I will treat you as my younger brother." Qiu Ye softened her tone.

Jacques was still very scared, but out of unconditional trust in Akiba, he finally walked in front of him: "I only found out a few days ago..."

Qiu Ye asked in surprise: "Can you really control demonization?"

Jacques stretched out a hand in front of Qiuye, and saw the scales on the back of the hand spread little by little until the entire palm was scaled, the nails became darker and longer, and they glowed like metal under the light.

These are completely the hands of a pair of dragon people!

Qiu Ye carefully held up his hand and observed it carefully, the fingertips gently slid over his nails, cut a hole, and a drop of blood fell on the ground.

"General!" Jacques withdrew his hand in horror.

"It's okay." Qiuye put her finger in her mouth and sucked it, "I'll see if you change back again."

The nails slowly retracted, and the scaled skin returned to its original shape. Except for the slightly dark nails, it was no different from usual.

"Is there anything else, what else can you control?" Qiuye asked.

Jacques hesitated: "I'm not sure...but I think I might be able to control the tail in the future..."

"Can you feel the tail?" Qiuye became more and more shocked.

Jacques nodded shyly.

When Akiba had no tail, it was difficult for him to imagine what it would be like to have an extra tail on his body, but when he had a tail, he found that it was no different from other limbs on his body, he could swing it freely, and even Control its length.

And now Jacques is almost like a dragon man, or more like a high-level dragon man who can transform between a human form and a dragon. The only difference is that he still has a human mind. I didn't expect Jacques to be so special , This change is fortunate or unfortunate for him.

"Under what circumstances do you feel that you can be demonized?"

Jacques thought for a while and said, "In many cases, it happens during training, when emotions come up, and when taking a bath..." He lowered his voice shyly as he spoke.

That is basically the secretion of adrenaline. When the blood circulation speeds up, this is just the beginning. I am afraid that he will be able to transform into magic without assistance.

Seeing Akiba's silence, Jacques was even more uncertain, and asked tentatively, "Am I weird?"

Qiu Ye rubbed his hair: "Come with me."

He took Jacques to his laboratory, rolled up his sleeves to collect samples, and said while scraping the film on the scales: "Everyone in this world is different, but you are more different than others." , You will experience more hardships and suffer more, all because you will have a brighter future than others."

Jacques looked at his side face, the soft curves and focused expression firmly attracted his attention, and he suddenly wanted to ask Qiu Ye to hug him, just like his brother hugged him when he was a child.But on the one hand, he regards Qiuye as a god-like figure and dare not blaspheme easily, on the other hand, he is not too young to be ashamed to say this.

"Why did Mu Nan call you brother?" He suddenly asked.

Qiu Ye smiled and said: "I have known him since he was very young, maybe he is used to it."

Jacques snorted and lowered his gaze.

Qiu Ye understood his thoughts: "If you want, you can also call me brother."

"Really?" Jacques looked up suddenly, his eyes bright like stars.

"of course it's true."

Jacques opened his mouth, but his voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't come out. It was like a rushing river hitting the dam, which was about to collapse, but he still couldn't break through the critical value. He obviously wanted to get close, but he seemed to be separated Layer yarn.

Qiu Ye patted him on the shoulder: "If you don't want to, don't force it."

"I'm not unwilling!" Jacques quickly defended.It's not that I don't want to, but that my skin is still a little thin, and I dare not get close to things that are too beautiful, for fear that when I get close, I will find that they are just empty dreams.

After seeing off Jacques, Qiuye studied the collected samples for a while, and Wu Dong came to his office.

Not only Wu Dong, but also Job, Carlos and several other core members of the Demon Hunter Legion, a total of seven or eight people.

"What's the reason for looking for me in such a hurry?" Qiuye was made nervous by them, and felt that each of them looked serious, as if they had something extremely important to say.

They exchanged glances, and finally Wu Dong took a step forward: "We hope you can continue to demonize us."

Qiu Ye almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears. Anyone who became a semi-demonized person either couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide, or lived secretly, or came to the Shining Empire to join the army, but they all had one thought, that is, they hoped to return to their original state , or at least not to develop in the direction of monsters, but today is the first time someone has made a request that they hope to continue to be demonized.

"What are you talking about? Are you here to amuse me in the middle of the night?" Qiu Ye froze.

"We are serious!" Wu Dong said with a straight face.

"Why do you continue to demonize? You..." Qiuye suddenly thought, the power of these people is brought by demonization. If you want to further increase the power, there is only one way to go, and that is to continue to demonize! "Are you crazy?" Qiuye called.

"We have thought it through very clearly. To be honest, there is no big difference in the degree of demonization of people like us. It is more practical to become stronger than to care about other people's eyes."

"This is very dangerous!" Qiuye was very annoyed, but he didn't know what he was annoyed about. "It is very likely that you will really become dragon people! You are looking for death!"

"You're going to die sooner or later anyway, so it's better to become more valuable before you die."

"What's the value? You are nothing! Do you think that I recruited you half-demons only because of your strength? Compared with combat power, I hope you can understand that you are not a monster, and give you the opportunity to take up arms and fight And I told you, as long as we win the war, your demonization will be reversed, and you may still return to normal people!"

"So isn't the premise that we can win?" Wu Dong couldn't help shouting.

He didn't yell at Qiuye, nor did he want to argue with him, he just held back for too long, he didn't want to live like a worm, since he was alive, he had to do something to prove himself, even if they would really change step by step. If you become a monster, the journey before falling into the abyss is worth it!

But Qiuye couldn't accept it: "No! I won't allow you to do this!"

"You can't stop us. We have already decided to stop taking the demonization inhibitor. If you don't help us, we will only take this way." Job stood behind Wu Dong and said quietly.

"Are you threatening me?" Qiuye grabbed a handful of hair in disbelief, "Do you really think I can't deal with you?"

Wu Dong stared at Qiu Ye with his dark eyes: "We will bring you victory, the victory of all mankind, this is the most important thing."

Demon hunters are mighty warriors, the best killers, they fight with darkness and gain infinite power, and a real demon hunter can turn into a demon while fighting, that is their ultimate.Wu Dong and the others are heading towards this ultimate goal.

Qiuye couldn't convince these determined people, let alone refute their ideas. He suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Does victory mean sacrifice?

Wu Dong said to the people behind him: "You go out first, I will talk to the general alone."

Everyone quickly left the office, and Wu Dong stood in front of him silently.

Qiu Ye looked at the person in front of him. He had black hair and black eyes just like himself, and his skin turned wheat-colored due to sun exposure. Compared with most semi-demonized people, Wu Dong's degree of demonization is not high, and he has not yet Seeing scaly skin, but now he has chosen a path of no return.

"How can you not cherish yourself so much?" Qiuye felt the so-called exhaustion before.

Wu Dong's face remained unchanged: "I have no family. My parents passed away when the planet was attacked by the dragon people for the first time. Job's parents died early, and he took his younger sister to depend on each other, but his younger sister was completely demonized. , the six relatives don’t recognize him, he killed them himself. The same goes for the others, they don’t have any relatives, and they don’t have any friends, even if they did, they would have disowned them a long time ago.”

"This is not a reason. Even if you are alone, you should have hope and live a good life. When the dragon people are driven away, I guarantee that there will be a way to restore you to your original state!"

"No! That's the reason!" Wu Dong said with a cold handsome face, "We are not looking for death, we are not cowards! It's just that if the war lasts one more day, there will be more people like us! Since we live so hard , I don’t want anyone else to suffer like this! So, please help us!”

Qiu Ye's hand hidden under the table was clenched into a fist, her nails scratched the flesh, then healed, and then scratched again.

"How do you know that I can help you?" The continuous pain stimulated his nerves, and there was a refreshing pain that could barely overwhelm the pain in his heart.

"You are a legendary alchemist, can't you call the wind and call the rain?" Wu Dong said with a slightly changed expression, approached cautiously, and whispered, "You...are some of us the same? Or, more advanced Some of what?"

He spoke very vaguely, or he didn't know how to express his thoughts at all. In short, there was a vague feeling that Qiuye was similar to them.

This feeling was actually expressed by Qiu Ye on purpose, in order to appease them and give them a sense of belonging, but she never thought that she would shoot herself in the foot.

"I said that Jacques is very strong, so you have such an idea? Damn it!" Qiu Ye scolded.

"There is no necessary relationship."

"You go out first, I have to think about it." Qiu Ye waved wearily.

"Please, help us!" Wu Dong solemnly repeated.

Qiu Ye rubbed the center of her brows, picked up Jacques' blood sample, and fell into deep thought.
