——Introduction to Mai Shenxiang

In the records of the Jinguang Continent, the alchemy master Edson Jack Salikri's talent in alchemy is unsurpassed. These classics always describe how much this famous alchemist master created in his lifetime. How many people in later generations walked into the alchemist's palace with admiration and envy.

However, what is not recorded in all the classics is that such a great alchemist died in poverty. It is well known that alchemy is a craft that costs a lot, but when you really master some of it, even if it is just an entry Many apprentices can rely on alchemy to maintain a basic life, let alone master alchemists after they become famous, and money means nothing to them at all.

Edson, Jack Salikri, is the odd one among them, neither he is lofty nor stupid, everything started from a huge misunderstanding, Edson lived in the dark forest since he was a child, and was raised by a dark alchemist He has been exposed to all kinds of alchemy since he was a child. Of course, this teacher will not tell him what to do and what not to do. This is probably why Anderson has many innovations.

Although this mentor is vicious, he is very generous to his only apprentice. Edson has never lacked alchemy equipment since he was a child, and he is even more attentive after he discovers the talent of his apprentice. This kind of life lasted until Edson became an adult , the old dark alchemist died with a smile on his face.

Among the various books brought back by the alchemist for his apprentices, there is a very valuable book that has never been deciphered. It is Edson's greatest hobby besides alchemy. He likes words that do not belong to this world. According to the teacher, this book probably came from a different time and space. The young man learned to decipher the secrets of the mysterious books, hoping to find the world behind these words one day.

After the death of the dark alchemist, Edson had to leave the place where he had lived for more than 20 years. He was full of curiosity and longing for the outside world, and even had naive thoughts in his head from the travel notes of heroes he had read occasionally. Love Desen's alchemy is far superior to those famous masters, but no one will hire or trust an unknown kid.

The thin-skinned Edson, after hitting a wall many times, his self-esteem told him that he could no longer bow his head to those who laughed at him. No one knows how to appreciate his strange alchemy products, so he should appreciate it himself. Edson returned to In the original place, I concentrated on studying my favorite alchemy and mysterious classics.

It was many years later when Edson realized that the alchemy items he discarded were the "most valuable" things in the eyes of the world, and it was still a defective product that was cheated away because he was penniless. Smart, the good things that he really put his heart into making will naturally not be given to others for nothing. This thing is just his leisure work, so when the man with malicious intentions came to his door, he pretended to sell it, but later Facts have proved that the guy who thinks he is smart is still losing money.

Living in a simple environment since he was a child, how can straight-line thinking people fight against those cunning and cunning people? Edson really doesn't want to deal with those inconsistent people, but he really needs a lot of alchemy raw materials, and the teacher's previous preparations have been consumed. , What he can find with his own strength is limited, so he proposed a method of exchange. They found what they needed, and he gave alchemy items within the value.

God knows that a fair exchange became a proof of Edson's nobleness after the population communicated. Everyone knows that this alchemist who lives in a broken house in the forest regards money as dung, and if he wants to make a move, he must use all sorts of strange alchemists. The raw materials are the only ones, and this guy has a very weird temper. He may not agree to help you no matter what you say when someone is not pleasing to the eye (in fact, they have brought too many alchemy raw materials).

When Edson found out that alchemy items can be exchanged for money, and money can buy a lot of raw materials, this rumor has been known to everyone, so no one dared to offend him by offering vulgar money. Edson wanted to save face and suffer, but he refused to ask for money first. The vicious circle continued, and people still admired the noble qualities of this alchemist.

Alchemy materials require money, eating, drinking, and scavenging require money, food, clothing, housing, and transportation require money, and even going to the city has to pay a handling fee. Edson touched his pocket, and there were only a few coppers left in the pitiful thing, which was still in the forest. He didn't understand why everyone acted like they wouldn't be short of money for the other people's wallets they picked up.

When Edson found that his hint (too vague) was ignored, he finally turned into a rage and turned around to study the mysterious tome that had made no progress for so many years. He finally guessed some secrets. This tome from another world Like prophecy, he can see through other people's past and present lives. This discovery immediately aroused Edson's interest. You must know that the only one who can perform language skills is the Son of God chosen by the gods. If he can crack this cheat book, wouldn't it be the same God stands on the same ground.

From then on, Edson simply closed the door to thank the guests. Whenever he thought of the comfortable life of those alchemists outside, Edson felt that he was short of money and panic. You must know that he can't cook. They all have a metallic smell, and looking at the mysterious book is even more important. If he becomes a prophet, the world will not be able to walk sideways. By then, he will not need to spend money wherever he goes. He will go to the city now. Everyone is flustered, and if they don't have money, they have no confidence!

The huge magic circle took Edson three full years. If the idea of ​​connecting to another world is known to those outside, they must think he is a lunatic. Even the best space magician can't open the barrier of space. That is the last defense that nature gives to this world.

However, there will never be an unbreakable law in this world. After three years of hard work and a large amount of magic materials, when the world's power was weakest when the sun and the moon meet, Edson opened a channel connecting the two worlds, and the torn apart The space caused the anger of the law, and the purple thunder landed on the sky above the magic circle, and the defensive magic weapons on the alchemists inside the magic circle were scrapped one by one, but he insisted that he did not want to give up this hope.

The wrath of the law needs flesh and blood to calm down. Edson watched his body be torn into pieces by the power of space, and finally turned into dust, leaving nothing behind. Perhaps no one will find that he is dead. He is not even alive in this world. For those who can be called friends, Edson regrets it at this moment. The so-called face is really useless. If he is willing to leave it behind, maybe he doesn't have to worry about money, relationships or materials at all.

It's a pity that the law didn't give him a chance to regret it. After the body, the power of the soul and other space quickly swept away, and he fell into endless darkness. He had to pay the corresponding price for challenging the laws of the world. At this moment, Edson was calm Come down, think back to my life, maybe I didn’t have so much enjoyment, but I was doing what I liked every day. Although the teacher was strict and cold, he knew everything about teaching, unlike those outside who were afraid that their apprentices would surpass themselves.

Darkness is a frightening and reassuring color. After the initial hesitation, Edson felt relieved. He couldn't see his current appearance. Maybe the soul should be transparent and insubstantial. In this darkness , Occasionally there will be starlight, but every time he wants to get close, those starlights will disappear in a flash. Edson doesn't want to let boredom consume all his memories, so he starts to recall the alchemy in this life. It's a pity that he hasn't written down all his experiences. Some things will become secrets forever with his disappearance. Maybe someone else will discover and publish them in the future. Edson doesn't care about fame and wealth, but regrets the lost inheritance.

When he saw that piece of starlight, Edson thought it was still the same as usual, and he would disappear when he got close to those things, but he stayed in the dark for too long, even if it was a mirage, he was willing to try again. When rolling over, Edson even let out an exclamation, and lost consciousness again.

I don't know how long it took, when Edson woke up again, he suddenly found that the surroundings were still pitch black, and he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or disappointed, rest assured that he still existed, even if it was only a soul, and the disappointment remained the same. He noticed a slight difference. In the darkness before, he could feel the endless space around him, and it seemed that he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. But now he could hear the sound of heartbeat, and felt warm and at ease.
