Royal Alchemist

I don't know how long it took before Zhu Xifeng came back to his senses, straightened his body, and gradually regained his cool appearance.

He clasped his hands, and even though he was wearing gloves, he could feel the tension in his fingers.

Qiu Ye suddenly discovered that his gloves were made of smooth silk like most alchemists at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there were neither any amplification patterns nor spiritual power transformation arrays on them, which meant that they were a pair of gloves at all. Plain silk gloves.

Zhu Xifeng's dark eyes rolled around Qiuye's leg: "What's wrong with your leg?"

"I was injured while participating in a survival game a while ago, and I'm recovering, so it's fine." Qiu Ye quickly explained, for fear of losing points because of this.

Zhu Xifeng snorted and waved his hands: "Let's go."

What does let's go mean, is it selected or not selected?Qiuye was anxious, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she drove the wheelchair.

But when he was about to leave the classroom, he looked back subconsciously, and suddenly found a tinge of red on Zhu Xifeng's white silk gloves.

It's the color of blood, is he bleeding?Why is there blood on his good hands?

Zhu Xifeng was still shaking hands, contemplating without focus.

Akiba didn't dare to look any further, so she hurriedly left the classroom.

When Qiuye walked out of the classroom, Zhu Xifeng called the entourage to explain: "Give me the detailed information about this Qiuye."

There were quite a few people waiting anxiously at the door, and Qiuye almost thought that she had just walked out of the college entrance examination room.

Jon hadn't left yet, and saw Qiu Ye coming out to greet him: "It's been a long time, how is the situation? What did the dean say?"

"He didn't say anything." Qiuye spread her hands, "What about you? How did he check your finished product?"

The two said as they walked, "The one that was poured directly on the plate, how about you?"

"Me too, what's your reaction?"

"There was a fire."

"How high is the flame?"

"How high?" Jon was very strange to his question, "It's just a small fire, and it burned for about ten minutes. I heard some people came out and said that it burned for a few minutes. I should make it more pure." Some."

Qiuye understood the difference between the finished product he refined and others, no wonder Zhu Xifeng who was not mentally prepared was also taken aback.

"What about you? How long have you been burning?" Jon asked.

Qiu Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "Lao Gao's flame burst out, but it burned out in no time."

Jon blinked, and it took him a long time to say: "That should be a better reaction, right? I think you will definitely be selected, but I'm not sure. The dean doesn't even bother to look me in the eye."

"Who knows." Qiu Ye shrugged, "When will there be results?"

"Tomorrow. Tomorrow night, there will be a dinner for the Academy of Sciences and the Knights. Freshmen must attend. Before the dinner is over, the list of this year's students for observation will be announced."

The two went back to the dormitory separately.Qiu Ye was restless, and Zhu Xifeng couldn't get rid of the scene of blood on the back of his hand, and his reaction was really confusing, and he had no idea about the selection results.

Also, he asked who taught him how to refine medicine?

Although Boss Jin said he was too lazy to teach at the beginning, he actually answered every question. He often corrected his wrong habits and taught him some unique refining techniques. Therefore, Qiuye's alchemy skills are in the same line as Boss Jin's.

Did he recognize it from the refining technique?He knows Boss Kim?That eagerness, and a bit vicious look, is it kindness or hatred?

While thinking about calling Boss Jin and what to say when he got through, he went to the kitchen to get some snacks.

Ever since she found out that Su Tongyang could make cakes that day, Qiuye pestered him to make something to eat every day.

Yesterday Qiuye took a piece to show off in front of Fengqi, and then pretended that Tongyang is really capable, and that having such a boyfriend would be a lifetime of bliss.After Feng Qi ate it expressionlessly, he borrowed Xiao Feilong, and when he returned in the evening, he had an extra cooking system, and the menu was pre-installed with "108 Delicious Dim Sum".

Nima!No fun at all!

Today, Su Tongyang kept the matcha frozen cheesecake. The cake was cut into small rectangles. The green matcha was fresh and lovely, with a light tea aroma mixed with the milky aroma of cheese. The taste was mellow, smooth and delicious.

Qiu Ye couldn't stop eating, and suddenly thought that although Su Tongyang's metal-making properties are not suitable for making money, the dim sum made by this is really delicious. The dim sum sold in the market are all made by robotic assembly lines, and they cannot be compared with handmade pastries. If he can do it and sell it for money, the business must be very good.But pastries are just ordinary food after all, the amount he needs is really too big, Su Tongyang has only one person, no matter how delicious they are, the money he can make is limited.If snacks can have a blessing effect, even if the effect is not as strong as medicine...

Qiu Ye immediately began to search for information and found that it was indeed feasible.However, because alchemy food has many limitations, it has not been able to form an industry.For example, due to the particularity of alchemy energy, it cannot be machined and must be handmade, because the medicinal properties in food volatilize quickly and cannot be stored for a long time. The most important reason is that the requirements for alchemists are relatively high, and alchemists who can meet this requirement are all They are high-end talents in the empire, and they all hold important positions in the empire. It is impossible for ordinary people to do jobs like pastry chefs.Because of these various limitations, there are occasional small workshops for alchemy food, but they are not successful.

But what Qiuye wants now is a small workshop!And if Su Tongyang can participate, it won't be such a big psychological burden for him!

There is Su Tongyang for handmade ones, and autumn leaves for pharmacists. They don’t need to be kept for a long time, as long as they can be sold in schools.

Although Qiuye didn't know if he could meet the requirements yet, at least he had a direction.

So he immediately called Boss Kim.

"Xiao Qiuye, are your legs better?" Boss Jin leaned comfortably under the window, holding a cup of scented tea, and the sun shone golden on his mask.

"It's getting better soon, it doesn't hurt much, and I feel that the recovery progress is faster than what the doctor told me."

"It seems that you have a good life."

"Boss Jin, I have an idea recently..." Qiuye told Boss Jin about setting up a small alchemy pastry workshop.

Boss Jin smiled and said: "Yes, Xiao Qiuye, the way you make money is becoming more and more like me."

"So, do you think it's feasible?"

"I happen to have some information about alchemy food here. Although it is mainly about cooking, it is similar to what you are going to do. You can use it for reference."

Originally, Akiba just wanted to ask for an opinion, but he never thought that he would do this before: "Boss Jin, do you want to open an alchemy restaurant?" Because the dishes are inconvenient to carry and the effect lasts for a short time, they are more tasteless than pastries. , and few alchemists know how to cook, so no one studies it.

Boss Jin said indifferently: "Ah, that's what I did when I was young, and now I don't have that kind of carelessness."

For some reason, Qiuye thought of Zhu Xifeng: "Well, Boss Jin, I have something to ask you."

Boss Jin smiled and said: "What's the matter, I'm hesitant to talk today, not at all like my hearty little Qiuye."

"Recently, the Royal Academy of Sciences came to our school to select students to observe." Qiu Ye stopped after saying this, and looked at Boss Jin.

Boss Jin lowered his head and drank his tea, the expression under the mask was unrecognizable.

"Because of the launch of the Young Eagle Legion project, Dean Zhu Xifeng personally came to select this year."

Boss Jin hummed: "Then, have you been there? Although there are many idiots in the Academy of Sciences, occasionally there are some smart people who will produce some valuable results. If you can go and observe it, it will be a great opportunity for you. Good thing."

"I'm going, Dean Zhu..." Qiu Ye thought for a while and said, "President Zhu asked about you."

Boss Jin paused while sipping tea, but quickly covered it up, smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Although I'm not sure, I think he should be asking you. The medicine I made had a strong reaction on his utensils. He asked who I learned from. Boss Jin, do you know the Royal Academy of Sciences? Dean Zhu Xifeng?"

Boss Jin put the teacup on the table, leaned on the cushion, and propped his head: "Then how did you answer him?"

"I didn't mention you, I told him that I read books by myself and learned it in the alchemist's home."

"You answered well, Akiba."

When he calls himself by his name properly, without random additions or subtractions, it always has a special meaning. For example, now, Qiuye tried hard to see some clues from his face, but the golden mask blocked it. out of sight.

These evasive words failed to answer Qiu Ye's question, so he mustered up the courage to ask: "Boss Jin, do you know Dean Zhu?"

"Qiu Ye." Boss Jin said seriously, "I no longer exist in this world, so this question is meaningless to me. The reason why I am here is because of an ideal and an entrustment. The ideal is Marshal Lei Wennuo, and the entrustment is Qiu Xingyao. Whether it is an ideal or an entrustment, it is all on you now. To accomplish something, you often need to sacrifice. Don’t mention me to others, you are just on my side. Worked in the store, that's all."

Although Boss Jin didn't say anything, Qiuye felt that he had said a lot, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart.No past, no name, living in secrets and darkness, how much inner strength is needed to persevere?Under that gorgeous golden mask, there are so many unknown emotions.

"Oh, don't show such an expression." Boss Jin laughed again, "Look how leisurely I am now, sleeping until I wake up naturally, counting money until my hands cramp, this is what I dream of."

"Boss Jin, can I do something?"

"Then let's get stronger quickly." Boss Jin seemed to be joking, but also seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart.

After the communication was over, Qiuye reflected on Boss Jin's words for a while, and the urge to do something immediately came back.He has long guessed that Boss Jin's identity is unusual, and it must be a difficult and dangerous thing for him to willingly abandon his name, status, family and commit himself to the little gray hourglass. nothing.

Still too weak, still far from it!Qiu Ye secretly thought that her belief in becoming an excellent alchemist has become firmer.

He opened the medicinal food information sent by Boss Jin and began to study it. He was fascinated by it. In the field of refining medicine, Boss Jin is like a encyclopedia of treasures. Get answers and help there.Moreover, he also found that the information provided by Boss Jin is more detailed and advanced than the information he found, and it has been well resolved in terms of stability and durability, but there are a few places that have not been perfected. It seems that the research has not continued in the middle. a feeling of.

Now it's not just for the simple reason of helping Su Tongyang make money, it's basically a practice, a great opportunity to improve one's own strength, and Qiu Ye quickly indulged in it.

-

The Eternal Hall of the Royal Military Academy is very famous. Her history is longer than the academy. This hall existed before the school was built. Every dome and wall in it is painted with a god-level figure in human history. The allusions of alchemists, their appearance has promoted human history and revolutionized alchemy.After the school was established, the auditorium was changed into a banquet hall, which was only used for important ceremonies, and the gates were only opened once or twice a year.

On the second night, the dinner was held in the Eternal Hall.

Wonderful music reverberated in the banquet hall, and the long tables were filled with delicious food for everyone to eat at will. Although there was no wine, all kinds of drinks were equally delicious and attractive.

Qiu Ye was even more inconvenient to move around in a wheelchair. He took a lot of barbecue and orange juice and sat in the corner to eat alone, while Xiao Fat Dragon rolled around in a plate of strawberries.

"Hey, can you be more restrained? Although Feng Qi said that your movement will not rot, but you still have to wash the dragon skin if it gets dirty." Qiu Ye grabbed its tail.

Xiao Feilong flashed a fingernail and stuck a strawberry: "It's as if you washed it. Every time I throw my skin in the washing machine, I almost lose my hair."

"I just don't want you to be all over my head with greasy juice!"

Jon walked to Qiuye with a glass of juice: "I'm so nervous, I really admire you for having such a good appetite no matter what time, I can't take a bite."

Qiu Ye looked at Xiao Feilong, and Xiao Feilong looked at Qiu Ye, and said in unison: "It's about you."

"It's useless to be nervous now, his list must have been made." Qiu Ye held a roasted chicken leg.

They stood at a good angle, just enough to see the entire banquet hall.There was a long table right in front of the banquet hall, where several great professors, Zhu Xifeng, and Barnett, the head of the Knights, sat there. They chatted in low voice while eating, and occasionally focused their eyes on a certain classmate.

Zhu Xifeng ate very little and drank most of the time. Captain Barnett, who was sitting next to him, was very enthusiastic about him. He poured wine for him for a while, cut meat and peeled shrimp for him for a while, and did not care about the eyes of everyone. .However, Zhu Xifeng's expression was always indifferent, and he occasionally fiddled with the plate in front of him impatiently, and he and Barnett just kept their faces polite.

"Captain Barnett is very attentive to Dean Zhu." Qiu Ye gossiped.

"He has pursued Dean Zhu for many years." Jon said.

Akiba was surprised: "And then?"

"And then there is no more." Everyone has a gossip, and Jon is no exception. "The dean doesn't like him, otherwise how could there be no results for so many years. Some people say it's all because of Captain Barnett." Always humbled to Dean Zhu, so the reputation of the Knights is getting lower and lower than that of the Academy of Sciences."

"Can this also be related?"

"Haha, in fact, the decline in the reputation of the Knights is mainly due to the fact that after the sacrifice of Marshal Ravenor, there has never been an invincible general. It's just that the Knights don't recognize it. Combat department!" Jon is a very typical support department who likes to mock the combat department, "Besides, Barnett is no match for Dean Zhu."

"It's not easy to compare. One of them is a combat system and the other is an auxiliary system. They can't be compared together."

Jon glanced around, squatted beside Qiu Ye and said quietly: "Actually, Dean Zhu is very powerful in fighting. If we really fight, maybe Barnett can't defeat Dean Zhu."

"Strong fighting power? Why?" Could it be that he, like himself, can cross departments without any obstacles?

"There is a secret technique that can convert mental power, but it is very expensive and painful, and generally no one tries it. Dean Zhu has always wanted to become an alchemist of the combat department, but he is very talented in the auxiliary department and has been practicing for many years , unable to transfer to another department, he uses this method to transfer his mental power, sometimes he even goes to the Knights to find someone to learn from, I heard that no one can beat him."

This is blatant kicking, right? "Why is he?"

"Who knows." Jon drank the juice in one gulp, "I'll go to other places, you eat slowly."

Qiu Ye took a lot of food and ate it alone. Just as he stuffed the meat in his mouth, he saw someone standing in front of him, Qiu Ting and a gray-haired boy. Qiu Ye sighed.

"Are you Akiba?" the gray-haired boy asked arrogantly.

Qiuye swallowed the meat unhurriedly: "Yes, I am Qiuye, what's the matter?" Qiuye was very helpless, the classmate was almost half a year, and everyone knew each other, but before provoking, she had to say "Where are you?" Root onion doesn't know you at all", the pretending is so childish.

This gray-haired boy was from Fast's gang, named Dominy, and also from the alchemy department. He was the partner of Fast in the survival game, but his ranking was not good.Qiu Ting stood behind Domini and sneered triumphantly. After the survival game, Qiu Ting began to hide from Qiu Ye. She had suffered enough losses in his hands several times, and was almost psychologically shadowed. This time, someone finally stood up for him.

Domini looked at Qiuye's legs maliciously: "If you are like this, you still want to go to the Academy of Sciences to observe?"

Akiba immediately understood the reason for Domini's hostility. The number of students in the auxiliary department was three. This year, the alchemy department is better than the smelting department, so it is very likely that there are two pharmacy departments and one smelting department.Among the first-year students in the Alchemy Department, Jon was strong and talented since he was a child, and his family was also powerful. Domini thought that even if he could not compare with Jon, he should be the second head office. Unexpectedly, after the survival game was over, Qiu Ye, who has always been ridiculed by others, appeared, and the limelight completely overshadowed her.He didn't dare to mess with Jon, so he came to trouble Qiu Ye.

"I'm not going to fight, let alone my leg is not broken, even if it is broken, it's not a problem." Qiu Ye smiled, with a chill in his eyes.

"How did you hook up with the prince?" Domini leaned on the wheelchair with one hand, and fiddled with Qiu Ye's epaulettes with the other, "And Feng Qi, that lowly commoner, I can't see that you are quite capable. of."

"Are you trying to say that the prince is fatuous and incompetent, has no eyesight, and is addicted to having fun, so he was hooked up by me?"

Domini looked around in a panic: "You don't want to talk nonsense and rogue me!"

Qiu Ye wiped her face: "Your saliva splashed on my face."

"You!" Domini was furious, grabbed Qiuye by the collar, and lifted him from the wheelchair.As a nobleman, he was said to spit, is it tolerable or unbearable?

hiss--!

With a threatening hiss, a mechanical dragon stood in front of Qiuye, with barbs erected all over its body, flames throbbing in its throat, and its wide mechanical wings flapping.

Domini took a few steps back in shock, not knowing where the dragon came from.

call--!

Xiaolong let out a mouthful of hot air, and took a step forward with his front foot, showing his sharp claws.

Qiu Ye smoothed the collar that was crumpled by him, and sneered.

Many people looked at them in amazement and pointed at them. Domini backed away again and again, suppressing his anger and not daring to speak, and sternly said: "You don't want to be complacent!"

"Quack! He was scared away by me, hahaha!" Xiao Feilong flicked his tail triumphantly.

Qiu Ye touched its head: "Very good, I didn't give you meat for nothing."

The big professors on the long table in the banquet hall all saw this scene, and their expressions were quite strange. Zhu Xifeng seemed to find it very interesting, showing his first smile of the day.

"Hey, these kids are really ignorant. They bring out such dangerous things casually. What if they hurt someone?" The speaker was a lecturer in the Alchemy Department and also an elder of the Domini family. Seeing my juniors being frightened by others, I felt very annoyed.

The rest of the people smiled in agreement and didn't say anything.

"Really?" Zhu Xifeng said, "It depends on the person, right?"

The man turned his face around and looked at Zhu Xifeng displeased.

Commander Barnett pulled him aside, signaling him not to say more, but Zhu Xifeng mercilessly pushed him away, and continued: "The only thing that can prove oneself is strength, not throat, you mean Professor Bruce? "

Professor Bruce's expression was twisted, and he smiled stiffly for a long time: "You are right, Dean."

Zhu Xifeng sneered and turned his face away, the atmosphere on the table became extremely tense for a moment.

"Okay, everyone, it's almost time." Principal Lindsay broke the deadlock, "President Zhu and Captain Barnett, please go to the VIP room to rest for a while, and then announce the list of students for observation."

Zhu Xifeng stood up and bowed to Lindsay, then turned and left, and Barnett immediately followed.
