Chapter 526 Alchemy Association

next chapter

The refining hall located in Dongcheng District is Lightning's favorite place to stay on weekdays.

Apprentices and disciples carried the required materials back and forth, bursts of heat from the vessel, the lingering smell of sulfur and sour water in the room, as well as the occasional sound of broken glass bottles and loud curses from the alchemist, There is always life here.

Although he had been promoted to one of the three chiefs two years ago and had his own independent alchemy room, the crowded, noisy and chaotic hall made it easier for him to burst into inspiration. Alchemy is like this busy scene. When various substances blend together, most of them will become more turbid, and only a few can stand out. This is true for crystal glass that blooms brilliantly, and the same is true for strong snow powder.

After burning, melting, and mixing, no one knew that off-white fine sand and pitch-black charcoal could be transformed into such wonderful things, and this is the charm of alchemy. People are no exception. Every year, a large number of new apprentices join the Alchemy Association, but in the end only a few can shed their rough and dull appearance and become the dazzling pearls of the association. Lightning is one of them. It took thirty-four years to be promoted from apprentice to chief, and now he was close to fifty years old, and he was about to come to the end of his life. But he can comprehend the beauty of the sage's learning, and he feels that this life has been completed.

It's just that what happened in the capital in recent days made Lightning slightly uneasy.

The biggest change was the replacement of the throne...After the fourth prince hanged Timothy, he had become the undisputed heir. This has nothing to do with the Alchemy Association. No matter who the king is, they only need to be responsible for providing alchemy products. But when the hard snow powder was handed over to Timothy as a war material, could they stay out of it as usual?

Now that the king's capital has gradually returned to calm, the fourth prince has not come to visit the Alchemy Association for a long time. Instead, he went to the astrologer first. This seems to be a bad omen.

"Are you still thinking about the astrological association?" Someone beside you suddenly said, "You are always frowning by the window with a sad face. This is not like the usual you."

The one who can talk to him unceremoniously must be a chief. He turned his head and looked at the same white-haired Rui Li, "What do you think... the fourth prince is planning?"

"I think those guys who stare at the stars all day are wasting money, what other meanings can there be?" Rayleigh said disapprovingly, "It's a pity that he didn't stick to his views, those people are not worthy of sages at all." In his name, he should have been dismissed long ago."

As one of the two great astrologers, the Alchemy Association has its own eyeliner in the Stargazer Association. It has heard a little about Roland's purpose of going to the astrologer, but it is not clear what the chief astrologer and the fourth prince talked about in secret. He dismissed the idea of ​​closing the astrologer.

"Why, are you worried that the Alchemy Association will fall to this point?" He patted Lightning on the shoulder vigorously, "Don't forget how much profit our products can bring to the capital! Crystal glass and perfume only need to put With limited production, the golden dragons earned in a year or two are enough to fill the prince's bedroom, so he would be willing to close the association?"

"But the association refines strong snow powder for Timothy..."

"So what, can we disobey the king's order?" Rayleigh snorted, "If he had some common sense in his head, he wouldn't use this excuse to accuse us. Besides, he also has a lot of snow powder weapons. The formula obtained from the defector Boll? It can also be regarded as the credit of our Alchemy Association for successfully capturing the capital, maybe we can give him a better mixed formula and get a reward."

"I hope so," Lightning nodded, feeling a little relieved. As Rayleigh said, the Alchemy Association is a large gold producer after all, and His Royal Highness did not come at the first time, probably because he was entangled in trifles.

Just as he was about to give instructions to the rest of the alchemists, a disciple rushed into the hall out of breath and shouted at him, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

"What? Where is he?"

Following Lightning's exclamation, the noise in the hall instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to the person who came.

"Above the courtyard," the disciple swallowed, "Your Majesty came from heaven!"

Lightning and Rayleigh looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, "Quickly go and call Chief Achill over, and the others will follow me to meet His Majesty."

"yes!"

...

Outside the Alchemy Association, a huge floating ball almost occupied half of the sky. Soldiers armed with snow powder weapons had already surrounded the courtyard. After they searched the inside and outside of the association, the ball began to slowly descend.

"That should be the witch's equipment used by the fourth prince when he went to the astrologer's office," Rayleigh leaned into Lightning's ear and whispered, "I didn't expect to be able to fly with people."

"Anyway, it's finally here." Lightning breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed Rayleigh's arm and said, "It doesn't matter if we call him a prince in private, but we still have to show respect when we meet formally, even if he doesn't Holding the enthronement ceremony is also the king of Graycastle, so don't be too casual."

"Don't worry, I've always been very measured," the latter laughed.

The hanging basket landed smoothly, and a radiant gray-haired man stepped forward under the protection of the guards. He didn't wear gorgeous clothes, nor did he wear a crown or scepter, but there was an undeniable majesty in his gestures, completely different from the incompetent fourth prince in the previous reviews. There was also an old man in robes beside him, and Lightning found himself unexpectedly familiar.

"Your Majesty Wimbledon, welcome to the Alchemy Association." Under the leadership of the three chiefs, many alchemists bowed and saluted together.

His Majesty smiled and said, "When I was still in the capital, I often heard my father mentioning you. Whether it is crystal glass or perfume, they are extremely popular alchemy products, and they are even exported to the fjord islands, bringing a lot of money to the palace. Return. So after I was sent to Border Town by my father, I also set up an alchemy workshop in the town."

"Pfft" Reilly almost couldn't laugh out loud. Although Lightning was also trying his best to endure, he never revealed it on his face, "It's not easy, Your Majesty. There is an old saying that every alchemy workshop is built with an equal amount of golden dragons."

"Really? But I didn't invest a lot of gold dragons... You should know how barren that place is. In the beginning, I could only build a few wooden sheds as refining rooms. Now it has also produced many products, including glass." and perfume," His Majesty said relaxedly, "so I'm curious, where do you spend the golden dragons you spend every year?"

"You... what do you mean?" Lightning's heart sank.

"This is my chief alchemist, Mr. Kyle Strull," Roland pointed to the old man beside him, "he will inspect your alchemy results, if there are no innovative products in the past few years, I will I think it’s better for the Alchemy Association to be closed. After all, the capital has just experienced a war, and many streets and houses need to be repaired with gold dragons.”

This sentence caused an uproar among the alchemists!

"Your Majesty, I disagree!" Rayleigh couldn't help standing up first.
