Chapter 12 Graceful Cruelty(1/2)
The Kamel family's mansion is located in a pleasant place outside the Xiangye City. The family enclosed a large piece of land here, planted green tung trees around it, hiding the entire Zi Pu Manor behind the Qingtung Forest. Even in winter, the green green tung leaves decorate the place as if it were midsummer.
In the middle of the Qingtong Forest, people use cobbles to lay a gravel road. When a carriage passes through the gravel road, there will be alert servants in front of you. At the same time, someone will quickly ask what guests are coming and what happened, and then immediately repay the owner, so that some embarrassing things can be avoided due to insufficient preparation.
After spending the long gravel road, we enter the Zi Pu Manor. The servants will greet the guests in different ways according to their nobleness.
For noble guests, they will first take the guests to the high-end small living room where the host will receive them.
For ordinary guests, they will ask guests to wait directly in the lobby.
However, this person today made the servants a little trouble. When they decided whether to let the guests enter, Xiuyi had solved the problem with his actions.
"I think we can go directly to the pharmacy." It can be seen that the young magician in front of us is very pursuing efficiency.
"Please come with me," Butler Gary said respectfully.
A servant came from a distance and made a gesture to Gary. Gary nodded to express his understanding. They didn't know that Shuyi had been a servant for nearly four years, and he was completely clear about what the gesture meant. The master wanted to observe the guest and did not intend to come forward for the time being.
Xiuyi smiled slightly.
The Carmel family's pharmacy is not big, and there are only one person and two assistants responsible for refining the potion.
In fact, for most alchemists, the refining of potions is only part of their work. More often, they are more willing to study new alchemy than stay in the position of making nothing.
Unfortunately, alchemy is such a money-burning profession that every alchemist can hardly survive and make progress if he leaves the support of his family.
By helping some large families and merchants refining potions, it is an important means for some alchemists to develop. Most families and merchants are not interested in researching new products - that's too expensive, and they are more willing to invest in known formulas with higher returns.
This means that people who can become family alchemists are often those who have skills in some aspects but are likely to be unable to make further progress for life.
What Gary saw at this moment was such an alchemist from the Lance Empire, George Deman, a master figure specializing in potions.
"Oh, what did you say? Did you bring that guy who came up with a blind idea and messed up my pharmacy? He said he was going to show me how to make the medicine?"
Before entering the pharmacy, Shuey heard an angry roar from George Deman.
"No, this is an insult to me!" the guy shouted.
When she arrived at the door, Xiuyi saw a middle-aged man wearing an alchemist robe and a sharp-horned hat on his head losing his temper at the servant.
When he saw Sooy appear in front of his pharmacy, George Deman, the alchemist of the Kammer family, was already roaring in anger:
"Is this boy who has not even grown hair yet, want to teach me how to refine potions? This is ridiculous! I won't accept his fingers! I will get him out of my pharmacy immediately! What? Magician? No, he can't be a magician, every alchemist can have some magic. Maybe this boy just came here for a few random times and made you mistakenly think that he is a magician. No, no, I will never accept that he interferes in my work in my place, and not breaking his legs with his own hands is already a sign of my kindness!"
Xiuyi frowned.
He asked Gary softly: "His temper doesn't seem to be very good? I mean, I just want to come and help you solve the problem."
Gary carefully replied: "Master George Deman is a very famous alchemist in the empire. He is also the patriarch who can ask for his face. The family's potion business has always been supported by Master George Deman, which is also an important reason why the family never makes the best and the following potions. It is normal for people with status like Masters to find it difficult to get close to them."
Gary's words were obviously implying that almost every capable alchemist was like this.
They are high above, they are arrogant and domineering.
Xiu Yi suddenly realized that he had neglected something.
He has always been working on Purgatory Island. Even if he kills people like Maruheins, Pier, Andrew, and others, he never puts on a high airs for no reason in front of the servants.
This made him subconsciously think that every alchemist should be like this.
But the facts have proved that the expression of arrogance and arrogance requires two basic foundations. One: the sense of superiority and strength beyond ordinary people. Two: the bystanders who can show their arrogantness.
Although Hines and others on Purgatory Island have strength that cannot be matched by the alchemists of the entire empire, they lack the second foundation and arrogance cannot bring them any sensory pleasure, so doing things down-to-earth is the most meaningful.
But after walking out of Purgatory Island, Xiu Yi saw an alchemist with a certain status and status, and was almost arrogant and arrogant. This had nothing to do with their strength, but they had the two foundations that were enough to make them crazy.
Thinking of this, Xiu Yi realized why his arrival made George Deman so angry and unreasonable. In the latter's view, this behavior of guiding the other party was nothing more than a behavioral provocation and a doubt about his ability.
Xiu Yi smiled and curled her lips.
Maybe it's time to give the other party a little color. He thought.
When she entered the pharmacy, Xiu Yi's eyes swept around.
Then he looked up at the alchemist: "Mr. George Deman? My name is Fink Danito, and I'm glad to see you."
"Oh, I'm not happy to see you. I'm very busy at work! I have a lot to do, and I don't want to talk to a young boy who is useless and messed up my potion. What are you here for? Want to tell me how I should refine my potion? This is ridiculous. How old are you? How many bottles of potion have you refined? How much ability do you have in alchemy? Get out of my territory now!"
The alchemist shouted bluntly.
Shuyi walked to George Deman with no fear: "My mentor once told me that there is never a shortage of arrogant people in this world. They have no real talent and knowledge, but they are always unwilling to accept other people's opinions humbly. But I didn't expect that it would be a pity that even a family like Kammer would see such people."
"How dare you insult me!"
"No, that's not an insult, it's a statement of a fact." Xiu Yi said calmly.
He walked around George Deman's body and came to the test bench where he placed the materials.
He picked up the material on the table and ignored George Deman's roaring "Let me go" and said.
Looking up at George Deman, Soui said, "Maybe you think you are indeed a master who is unparalleled in medicine and does not need anyone's guidance, but I believe no one in this world can truly say that he is proficient in all alchemy..." Speaking of this, his eyes swept across the table: "It's really unimaginable, sir, you actually put the winding liquid of the fire snake, the blood of the wind roar and the deep-sea whale ointment together?"
The boy in front of him said the last sentence in a plain tone, as if the other party had made some mistake.
Alchemist George Deman was stunned: "So what? What does that mean? Will there be any problem with putting them together?"
"What will happen?" Xiu Yi looked up at George Deman: "Maybe I should let you know what will happen. So let's try it out?"
As he said that, Xiu Yi suddenly quickly grabbed a beaker, then poured a lot of the snake's snake liquid and the blood of the wind roar into the cup, and said, "Let's see what else is there here. Ah, some dried leeches, let's grind it into powder, by the way, just put it in. Look here, this can accelerate, and there are some catalysts, come on, put some in. Let's put some other raw materials... Look, the process is not complicated, I believe you have seen it clearly, right?"
Xiu Yi quickly picked up the materials on the table, processed them, and then put them on. Just from the agility of his technique, it made people realize that the boy in front of him was by no means a liar who knew nothing about the medicine.
After quickly putting the ingredients in Shuyi's hand, there was a cup of adjusted potion in the beaker.
They were flowing quietly in the beaker, but no one knew what that was.
A mysterious smile appeared on her face, and Xiu Yi picked up a box of ointments made from fat from a giant deep-sea whale.
Xiu Yi said:
"Mr. Daiman, I believe you must know that the snake of the Fire Snake is a good generator of fire elements. In some special cases, as long as it is given enough conditions, it will continue to generate the elements of fire until it is exhausted. Do you have to know very well about this?"
As he said that, Xiuyi slowly poured the ointment into the beaker.
The lizard liquid poured into the oil began to undergo some subtle changes inside, and some special bubbles were being generated.
"Hold it." said the young man handed the beaker to the alchemist's hand.
George Deman took it in a daze.
He saw the fire snake lizard liquid constantly swelling, as if something was blowing inside.
Xiu Yi's voice rang in his ears like a devil:
"Yes, just like you see now, I just used the materials you placed on the platform to complete the manufacturing process of this fire element. Now you see, these fire snakes are constantly creating elements of fire. Under normal circumstances, these fire elements will be integrated into the air without any terrible consequences, so we will not have the opportunity to observe their specific images. But the ointment I added has a peculiar shackle power against elements, which makes them unable to escape for the time being, so that we can observe them more clearly... Of course, this is only temporary, after all, any magic element is very annoying to the force of elemental shackle power. Fortunately, they are not in a hurry, because the mixture of the fire snake lizard and the wind roar blood is constantly generating new partners for those fire elements, which will make their power stronger and stronger..."
As Xiuyi said, the liquid in the cup was constantly producing elements of fire, and small red bubbles after small bursts of red bubbles swelled in the liquid, bursting, looking like small fireballs constantly exploded inside.
Xiu Yi stared at the alchemist in front of him: "If the element of fire is to get rid of the elemental shackles of the sea whale ointment, it must have strong enough power. So do you know how powerful the explosive power these elementals generate when they accumulate enough to break through the elemental shackles? ... It is such a small cup of elemental fire that can blow up the entire room."
All the bystanders were so scared that they all retreated.
The George Deman looked at Sooi in shock, and he murmured: "Oh...oh my god!"
The boy's expression was as calm as ever, as if all he had done was nothing worth mentioning.
He whispered: "Sir, you don't have much time left. The lizard liquid of the Fire Snake is constantly producing new fire elements. Since I have added enough fire Snake Lizard liquid and Fenghou Blood this time, and some auxiliary materials, it generates fire elements very quickly this time, so fast that it only takes a little time to accumulate enough explosive power. So, let's start counting now? I guess there are still thirty seconds left to complete an explosion, and you want to solve this problem before that. Now start counting. Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..."
The air was condensed in an instant, and everyone looked at George Deman.
The great alchemist, who was so arrogant just now, was already trembling with fear.
A large amount of fire elements were constantly being generated in the cup, but he had no idea what he should do.
"Twenty-five, twenty-four, twenty-three..." Xiuyi's countdown continued.
"No!" the great alchemist shouted: "Tell me what to do!? Tell me quickly!"
"Twenty, Master Daiman, you are an excellent alchemist. I believe such a small problem will not be difficult for you."
"Are you crazy? It's about to explode! Get rid of it quickly!" George Deman shouted hysterically.
"Eighteen, seventeen." The young man continued his countdown calmly: "Sir, don't be too anxious. We still have time. Demeanor, pay attention to your demeanor. Alchemist is elegant, wise, and noble. We never yell, even if death is coming..."
The liquid in the beaker was still popping up red bubbles, but it was getting denser.
They are like liquid explosives, and once they explode, they will destroy everything here.
Everyone stared at the beaker and the blood-colored liquid that kept rolling. It was simply the last energy accumulation before the volcano erupted.
"Thirteen...twelve..." The boy's voice was still elegant and calm, and even his expression was always quiet.
He looked like a good baby, and he was facing only a fun toy at this moment.
He smiled at all this, completely ignoring the fear in the heart of the arrogant alchemist.
"No! No! You madman, you quickly solve it!" George Deman shouted wildly,
His hands were shaking constantly.
The boy seemed to have never heard of it. He had his hands on his back and had no intention of solving the problem: "You'd better take it a little more securely, Lord Daiman, have you not come up with a solution yet? Oh, by the way, you still have ten seconds,"
"Oh my god, my god, this is crazy, I can't solve it!" George Deman shouted wildly: "Please, I can't solve it, I admit defeat, you are better than me! I apologize to you! Oh my god, it's about to explode!"
George Deman shouted wildly, shouting loudly.
To be continued...
