"A young oriental nobleman from Xingguo (Note 1), huh?"

Atobe played with a stack of ID documents in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at the man.

Pelsona lowered his head slightly, and was slowly pouring the black tea in his hand into the cup.The fragrant liquid winds at the bottom of the smooth and round white porcelain cup, exuding bursts of seductive aroma.However, all of this seemed to be covered up in front of this man, and could no longer attract the attention of others.

Pelso's handsome eyebrows and eyes can't be seen clearly in the dense water vapor, but the natural elegance is particularly pleasing to the eye in such a scene.That man has a pair of white and slender hands, even if they are not inferior to white porcelain.They gently lifted up the small plate on the table, with slow and gentle movements, and then placed it in front of him.

A soft sound awakened the somewhat distracted young man.

Atobe turned his eyes away in embarrassment, not looking at the smile on the corner of the man's mouth.Then he frowned slightly, although he urgently needs a good status now, but to this level... "Have you used your ability again?"

The young man lowered his eyes, and his tone was flat, unable to hear any emotion.

Seeing the young man's self-repressed emotions clearly, Pelsona paused, "...you don't need to pay attention to such things."

"Don't care?"

Atobe repeated flatly, and sneered, "How many times do you think you can withstand 'don't care' things with your current body? If you leave this kind of thing to me, although it will take a long time A little, but at least you don’t need to exchange your lifespan!”

"My lord has said it! Since I left that world, the task of protecting my lord has ended...Pelsona, you are free! My lord also hopes... My lord's hope is..."

The boy clenched his fists tightly, his sharp eyes resting on the man's expressionless face.

His hope is that all the gentleness and protection of this man in front of him is no longer due to the mission. He wants to remove every shackles imposed on this man, and then let him protect this man. He will fulfill all wishes for him.

But in this man's eyes, all his hard work is just a joke of self-deprecation?Atobe looked at him, as if he saw the life of this man passing slowly like an hourglass, which he regarded as a treasure in his eyes, but which he dismissed.

The man looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly said, "Atobe, my time is running out."

The power of the riot not only destroyed this body, but also traumatized his soul a lot. If he couldn't find anything to restore it, maybe he would really dissipate just like that.

He had never been afraid of death, but he didn't want to be such a humiliated and powerless loser when he died.He was robbed of everything, but he couldn't even resist.

So he urgently needed that thing, and even acquiesced in Atobe's various infiltrations into this world-originally, this person should stand at the top of another world as a "king", but now this young man uses With the same straight back, he faced all kinds of cruelty in this world that should not have appeared in front of his eyes.

Pelsona slightly raised one corner of his lips, but his black eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all.

It was as if at that time, the proud boy said to him, "Parsona, what you want to do, I will achieve it for you in another way. So, don't use your ability anymore."

He smiled, and in his slight astonishment, it seemed that countless soft things melted in his eyes, as intoxicating as the sparkling lake.But he replied softly to the boy who was staring at him closely, "I'm sorry, Master Atobe, only this, I can't promise you."

There are so many things he wants to do, but so little time is given to him.This boy's ability is so outstanding, he can control a large amount of money through his fabricated noble status in a short period of time. Although there is a lag of about 100 years, this boy who is only 16 years old always Can surprise him. (Note 2) People are asking about all the details of this handsome and wealthy noble boy who came from afar, but they never thought of doubting his identity.That kind of nobility and elegance, intelligence and arrogance, as well as amazing talents that seem to come naturally, who else can achieve it except nobles?

He watched this boy expand his power at a speed that ordinary people can't imagine, and all his efforts were just to fulfill his wish on his behalf, and then, together, find the way home.As long as time passes, this young man might be able to succeed.It's a pity that the hourglass of time left for him never waits for anyone.

Pelsona lowered his eyes, only to hear the young man asking without giving up, "Tell me, what exactly is it that you want?"

He gently put down the black tea in his hand, stared at his blurred reflection in the water, and finally said, "I want...the Philosopher's Stone."

Even if it is a fake called red stone, this is what he wants. For this reason, he has worked hard to become a national alchemist, and even dragged the boy in front of him into the water.In essence, he is nothing more than something similar to an artificial human, a filthy carrion with a body for no reason.

The corner of the man's mouth curled up, his smile was ironic and cold.He stared at the boy, "Perhaps, there will be clues for you to return to the original world."

If his guess is right.

Look, for a person like him, no matter what kind of feelings he has for the young man in front of him in that initial memory, no matter how hard the young man tries his best to protect him in this strange world, when he When everything appeared in front of his eyes, the first thing he thought of was the word "use".

Information, contacts, and such things not only require the status of a national alchemist, but more importantly, money.Therefore, he "needs" Keigo Atobe.

The sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two, and also interrupted the increasingly cold atmosphere around Pelso.

Edward pushed the door open and entered, only seriousness remained on his slightly immature face.

"It's a mission,"

He looked at the black-haired man and said briefly, "You and me."

Note 1, Xingguo is another oriental country other than the country where the protagonist of steel smelting is located.Alchemy prevailed.Because of the face of the Atobe Oriental, he can pretend to be someone from there.

Note 2, the reason why Atobe can achieve such an achievement in such a short period of time is inseparable from the age.The time of steelmaking was about 100 years ago, and the Atobe family was engaged in securities, so it is impossible not to study this deeply.The economy...the bubble is huge.And there is also that fake noble status, Pelso's overt and covert help, so I hope everyone will not think it is exaggerated.
