The day after returning from Liberty, Gong Hao went to find Andrew.

"Mr. Andrew."

"Hey, Xiuyi, why are you running to my room if you don't accompany our little princess?" Andrew smiled when he saw Gong Hao.

"It's such an adult. It's just a few days ago when I heard Lancelot say something about the spirit species and the space gate. Because I have never found any records about this in my work. So I want to learn about this from the adults."

Andrew frowned: "Why do you want to know about the spirit seed?"

"You know that alchemy never exists alone. Even if they have branches, they will also affect each other. I have entered a blind spot in the study of flesh and blood puppets, so I hope to be able to do some research in other aspects and maybe make a breakthrough."

"No, you don't have to know anything about this." Andrew refused. This was the first time he firmly denied Gong Hao's proposal.

Perhaps seeing Gong Hao's disappointed face, Andrew comforted him and said, "Believe me Xiu Yi, this is for your own good."

"Yes, since that's the case, I'll take it back first."

Gong Hao left Andrew's room.

After leaving Andrew's room, Gong Hao went to Pier's room again.

"Mr. Pier."

"What's the matter with Glair?"

"It's like that. You know that Lord Lancelot was injured when he came back a few days ago. He took his anger on you for this, and I think it's unfair."

"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it."

Pier doesn't seem to be affectionate with Gong Hao.

"Yes, sir." Gong Hao said to Pier again what he had said to Andrew.

Then he said, "Mr. Andrew rejected my issue of studying the spirit seeds and asked me not to ask about this matter in the future. But I was really curious in my heart, so I came to ask you behind my back."

Pier thought for a while before nodding, "I heard from my mentor that he once told you about the Gate of the Different Dimension."

"Yes, I think the gate of Hell that Lord Lancelot refers to is that thing, but I never thought there was one on Purgatory Island."

"That's not surprising. There are many places, but there are energy storms that no one can easily enter and exit. Spiritual seeds are products from another world. To be precise, they do not belong to the category of alchemy, just because they are on Purgatory Island, so we are responsible for cultivating them."

“Cultivate?”

"Yes, cultivation. Cultivating spiritual seeds requires planting them in advance into the body of the monsters. They grow through parasitic means, and after they grow, they will become a terrible weapon. Since they are organisms and do not belong to the category of alchemy, they have not been told, and it will not help you. But if you are interested, I don't mind giving you a spiritual seed for you to study."

"So that's it, I understand, but since Lord Andrew doesn't want me to touch this thing, maybe I should rethink it. I'll take it aside first."

Pier looked at Gong Hao with a meaningful look and said nothing.

After leaving Pier's room, Gong Hao turned around and asked to see Hines again.

He raised the question just now again and said, "Master Hines, I think I made a mistake. Lord Andrew refused me to study the spirit seeds, but Lord Pier was willing to give me a spirit seed for me to study and told me some things about the spirit seeds. I don't know how to choose. Maybe I shouldn't have continued to get involved in this issue after facing Lord Andrew's rejection. Now I'm very distressed. You know that I don't want to offend any adults and don't want them to be dissatisfied with me. But I can't take back what I said, so I can only ask you for advice."

"So that's how it is." Hines was silent for a while.

He thought for a while before saying, "Andrew is right. He doesn't let you study it for your own good. You should stop studying the spirit seeds. You make a request to both adults on the same thing. It can be said that this is an unreasonable behavior, but fortunately you finally realized your mistake and reported it to me in time. So, this matter is suppressed. Tell Pier that you decided to obey Andrew's orders and not study the spirit seeds, and other things will be over."

“Yes, Master.”

When leaving Hines' room, Gong Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Pierre, only Pierre is doubting himself.

This is the conclusion he came to.

This is a very normal psychological deduction behavior. It is precisely because Andrew trusts himself that he will never let himself contact the spirit seeds and avoid discovering possible secrets.

By the same token, Pierre doubted himself that he did not mind throwing out a little bait to test his reaction.

The same is true for Hines. He seems to be much more cautious than Andrew, and it is not unconditional trust in himself. But in general, Hines obviously still appreciates himself and wants to protect himself, so he also refuses to let Gong Hao study the spiritual seeds.

It was precisely because they thought the secret was safe that they rejected themselves, which made Gong Hao feel relieved.

This is mainly because both Andrew and Hines believed that Gong Hao's talent comes from his concentration, and it is also his concentration, which makes it impossible for him to pay attention to things that have nothing to do with work.

The reason why Bailey could guess this was probably related to his secret dealings with them. Hines and Andrew only saw his focus on work, while Bailey saw more and more comprehensively, so he could easily determine that Gong Hao had seen through the secrets on Purgatory Island. However, because the transaction was of great importance, they could not tell the truth no matter what.

As for Pierre, his suspicion is rather a kind of distrust in nature and a natural suspicious mentality.

But even so, this is also a threat to Gong Hao.

There will always be a way to solve Pier's problem. Gong Haoyouyou thought.

To deal with a person, you must first understand him.

Gong Hao returned to his room and opened the information about Pier.

That was the information about Pier that Bailey spent nearly half a year finding out.

Pier is forty-six years old. Twenty years ago, he was a magic teacher at the Winlington Magic Academy. On the one hand, he served as an assistant to the great alchemist Hines, the then-great alchemist, and on the other hand, he taught students about alchemy. Before that, he was just an ordinary alchemist apprentice. Compared with Andrew, who came from a noble family, Pier was far from his identity.

But Pier was not willing to go on like this. He worked harder and studied hard, and finally won the appreciation of Hines. When he was twenty years old, he made significant contributions in the refining of potions. He was very popular at the time and was hailed as the best successor after Hines.

Pier was only twenty-six years old at that time, and he was young and promising. After his hard work, he finally achieved this. Naturally, he was so proud that he was in a hurry.

How could such a person suddenly give up his bright future and follow Hines to this island and bury his life?

It's really for the love of alchemy? Gong Hao doesn't believe it.

He also loves academic research, but if he wants to keep himself in danger for the rest of his life, he is afraid he will not be willing to do so.

Unlike Hines Andrew, Heins is willing to do all this because he is a real alchemist. According to the information, Hines has no relatives at all, so he has no concerns. Andrew is forced to sacrifice for the family needs. So why did Pier come to this Purgatory Island?

Perhaps the clue can be seen from the following record.

When Piere was twenty-five, in order to better devote himself to alchemy research, Hines decided not to hold a specific position in the Alchemy Department, which made the position of core tutor (equivalent to the department head) of the Alchemy Department at that time vacant. At that time, Piere had the highest call for taking over the job of a tutor.

However, this year, Pier did not become the core mentor at that time. On the contrary, he even lost his position as a teacher and could only follow Hines as an assistant.

So what exactly caused Pier to fail to become a core mentor in the end, but instead followed Hines to Purgatory Island soon after?

What interested him was that Bailey mentioned in the appendix several incidents that occurred in the school during Pierre's time at the college.

Looking at Bailey's description of those incidents, Gong Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Avril, are you happy?"

In the jungle, Gong Hao asked his little princess.

This was the first time he asked Avril whether she was happy with such a caring attitude that Avril felt quite "flattered".

"Of course, Xiuyi, you know I like being with you. Listen to you to tell me stories, stories about princesses and princes, stories about monsters in the jungle, so many, I love to listen to them." The girl's expression was very intoxicating.

"But you always have to leave right?"

Avril's expression dimmed: "Heines, an old bastard, told me yesterday that he must leave Purgatory Island within three days. He said I snatched his best apprentice."

She looked at Gong Hao with pitiful eyes: "Xuyi, how great would it be if you weren't that outstanding?"

"If that were the case, maybe you wouldn't like being with me."

"But I can't bear to leave you."

"Or can I tell you?"

“How to say it?”

"I can tell Master Hines that I will continue my work every day during the day and will not come to accompany you until after work is over. In this way, you will not affect me. In that case, maybe the master will agree to stay here for a longer time. After all, you are a princess, and he cannot be too much of your treatment."

"But if that's the case, I'll be very lonely during the day." Avril pouted.

"Maybe I have a way to help you relieve your loneliness."

"What are some fun ideas do you have?" Avril began to be excited.

Gong Hao nodded with a smile: "Yes Avril, you know that this has been specially made for you after spending a lot of effort. Look."

A small long and thin tube was taken out from his body, and Gong Hao handed it to Avril's hand.

"What's this?"

"Fireworks, a gadget that doesn't make it to the level of elegance, but I guess you will like it."

Gong Hao gently opened the lid and ignited the pipe mouth with a little magic flame.

A red flame flew out of the pipe mouth and soared into the sky, then burst into pieces with a bang, turning into millions of small highlights, like a fountain of flames in the air

Sprinkle.

"Oh! It's so beautiful!" Avril shouted excitedly.

Several red and blue flames flew away from the pipe mouth one after another, turning into huge flame buds blooming in the air, dissipating the fog, illuminating the dark night, and bringing a beautiful and romantic scene.

This magnificent view was shocked even by the people in the castle, and I couldn't figure out who could weave such beautiful flames in the sky.

After a while, the fireworks in Guan's mouth were gone, and they flashed brightly, leaving only endless sighs.

"Is it gone? Xiuyi." Avril was a little reluctant to leave.

"Yes, there is no more. This is fireworks, just like the meteors in the sky, blooming with the most beautiful moment, and then flashing away." Gong Hao's tone was also full of sighs: "Their lives are short, but they are very beautiful... There are many feelings in the world, which are the same... This is what I did for you, and it took me a lot of effort to do it."

"You are such a genius, Xiu Yi, you have always been." Avril looked at Gong Hao with an infatuated and admiring expression.

"If you like, I can do more for you. When I work, you are here to set off fireworks, think about me, and come to you when I finish my work, okay? I believe Master Hines will agree to stay for a while without disturbing my work."

Avril nodded desperately.

She was simply too happy.

"You have to make a lot of fireworks for me." She said to Gong Hao: "In this way, when I am not by my side, when I am lonely, I will accompany me with fireworks, and those stories, the nice and moving stories you told me. They will always be with me."

The tone of her speech was like a wife who was about to wait for her husband to return home every day.

Gong Hao was a little stunned. He realized that the little princess's feelings for him were moving forward at a leap speed, but he was in a panic that he wanted to avoid this feeling, and even wanted to use her...

After putting away his shame for the moment, he finally said, "To make enough fireworks, some materials are needed. Many of those materials are in Lord Pier's laboratory. You know if he would be very upset if he found out that I made some flashy things with his materials."

"We can take it out secretly and prevent him from knowing." The little princess didn't care.

"Yes, Avril, I think so too. But if he finds that there are fewer materials..."

"Then I said it was my work. I am a princess, so I don't care what he thinks."
