Chapter 550 Who Do You Think I Am?

The decoration in Freya's room was completely different from what Aiwass expected.

He originally thought that Freya, as an alchemist, should be a very rigorous person. Not to mention that this villa is not only used for living, but also as a research institute... Maybe the windows inside should be bright and clean, and all kinds of things should be placed in an orderly manner.

But when you go in, you will definitely feel like a researcher. However, it has nothing to do with being organized.

There is a single bed in the corner of the room, and in front of the bed is a desk with many books, documents, and reports. The quilt on the bed was not folded up at all, but was just lifted casually to the side.

There was no stool in front of the desk, and you could even see traces of your butt sitting on the bed.

In contrast to this living space, which occupies a very small space, there is also a huge five-story shelf that covers an entire wall. On the left are some books and documents; on the right are some bottles and cans. There are some open or closed wooden boxes on the bottom floor, which look like warehouses.

In the middle of the room, there were two huge metal devices.

One is copper-colored, and it seems to be related to liquids, because it carries a huge transparent spherical liquid container on its back, which is currently empty, but it has some steampunk-style technological impression; while the other one is It is a long silver-white metal table like a cooking table. There are various fully automatic devices placed on it. It looks very modern.

Aiwass even saw three round-mouthed crucibles that looked like they were dug out of ruins on the corner of the long table that looked like a modern test bench. Its shell is an impure black, and its material is like smooth stone or dull metal. There was a mouthful of green liquid overflowing with an unknown feeling, which was bubbling and bubbling.

And on the floor below each instrument, a circular ritual array is carved.

Under any container that is smoking, those ritual arrays are running. They shine with colorful streams of light, and you can vaguely see the twisted air forming hemispherical protective shields, completely isolating the internal and external environment.

In the corner on the other side, there is a low metal stove. It looks very ugly. The black iron shell is about six or seven meters long, only half a meter high, and less than one meter wide. There was a warm firelight inside, and I didn't know what was burning.

"...So this is the great alchemist's workshop?"

Aiwass murmured.

The style here is all about patchwork. The pure wooden villa looks quite beautiful from the outside, and even from the entrance to the lobby is artistic style. But as soon as he entered the largest master bedroom, he found that it was in such a mess.

But Freya is quite proud of this: "These are all good things. All my efforts and collections over the years are here. I have carefully designed this system for several years, and now it can finally run stably."

As she spoke, she introduced the laboratory she was proud of in turn: "This magic furnace is the core component of a second-hand light-casting furnace that I bought when I went to the Eternal Frost Empire to do business with the dwarves. I The fuel system inside has been modified so that it can now be connected to the giant tree and use the blood of the sacred tree as fuel."

"……ah?"

Freya's first words immediately confused Aiwass: "Isn't this illegal?"

This is... stealing electricity, right?

The lightcast furnace consumes a lot of energy just by listening to it. Then Freya directly used the blood of the holy tree as fuel...

"no problem."

Freya said confidently: "I specifically asked, the fifth ring is the research area. I have a quota here... I reduced the operating power consumption of the furnace, and it is definitely running stably below the maximum allowable line. of."

Speaking of this, she became very happy. That feeling even reminded Aiwass of Yulia - she is also learning alchemy now.

Could it be said that all alchemists have this style?

"With this light-forged furnace, I can fully automatically drive these ritual formations without using materials, and evenly supply energy to these equipment. You can't see the line because I hid the energy supply line under the floor. I need to change the line. Just pry up the floor and change it. Anyway, the house here is alive and it will heal on its own when the floor is put down.”

Freya said as she enthusiastically led Aiwass to the huge brass instrument.

It was about two and a half meters high, and the console was about Aiwass's face. In order to control it, Freya even bought a box as a pedal.

She stroked the instrument and boasted: "I found this from the ruins on the sixth floor. This is the ancient technology of the elves, used to extract the blood of the sacred tree to provide a portable energy source. I feel that it is completely It can be used to refine some other liquids efficiently, and it took a lot of effort to get it.

"Once this thing is running, it can separate fifty liters of liquid on demand. It's amazing! There are many plant essences that are difficult to buy outside - those extremely powerful things that require second-level or even third-level botanists to create. Extracting essential oils and using it can save a lot of money, and you don’t have to use refining to separate and purify it layer by layer, and you can also save a lot of time..."

"Then how many times did you use it after you asked me to take it off?"

Master Yanis on the side complained faintly.

"There have been many times," Freya argued, "The main reason is that this thing is not small. It can extract fifty liters of liquid at a time, but I usually only use a few milliliters.

"This machine, in terms of extraction and purification efficiency, can surpass the sum of three third-level botanists and three second-level alchemists working day and night in three shifts. This is definitely a good thing, but I can't fully utilize its effect."

"If you ask me, it's useless. It's better to get rid of it quickly."

Yannis commented sharply: "It takes up too much space and consumes too much energy - why do you keep it warmed up if you don't use it?"

"You don't understand. Once this ancient technology is completely shut down, it may not work when it is restarted. When I got it, it took about half a month to turn it on. Technology that was eliminated more than two thousand years ago, I estimate I don’t think many elf craftsmen can repair it now, so it’s better to keep it running to extend its service life. "

Freya didn’t even bother to talk to Aiwass, but turned to discuss with Janis seriously: "If such a good thing breaks down in my place...so even if it’s not very useful, at least it should be maintained. Anyway, it used the blood of the holy tree two thousand years ago, and the fuel is similar now, so the operating environment is very stable. "

"Elf ruins?"

Sherlock was a little confused: "Why does the Church still have such things?"

"Oh."

Freya turned back to look at Sherlock, and her tone and attitude suddenly became cold.

At that moment, Aiwass even thought of the fake smile on Professor Moriarty's face.

She pushed her glasses and explained: "Because the Church was not the 'Church' from the beginning. Elves are not like humans, who have all the adaptability of the nine great ways, but they are not purely dedicated creatures.

"In addition to the path of dedication, elves also have strong adaptability to balance and dusk. There is also a small amount of beauty, love and wisdom. This means that in the original form, the elf society must have developed the three paths in a balanced manner - that means the ancient elves must have been good at alchemy and necromancy. It was just that later they suddenly gave up a large part of their heritage and embarked on the path of a religious state based on dedication.

"But the Twilight Path means engraving. The elves cannot destroy history and can only store it aside. And this is the ruins of the sixth and seventh floors. There are many abandoned heritages and technologies inside. You can enter and visit, but you are usually not allowed to take the things inside away."

... Necromancer?

Aiwass listened to the side and suddenly reacted.

He really forgot about it.

With the elves' adaptability to the balance and the Twilight Path, under normal development, they should have developed a very brilliant alchemy civilization, and they should also be very good at necromancy and preservation.

But in fact, the elves abandoned almost all their technologies almost two thousand years ago, and completely gave up the inheritance of necromancy and preservation...

In the thirteenth ring, there are many cultural specimens preserved there. There are many elf technologies that Aiwas has never heard of.

...Think about it carefully, all kinds of high-quality underwear popular in the world now come from elf craftsmanship.

So the pure, soft and tough consecrated silk cotton is called "elf silk".

In addition to stockings, there are sleeves, underwear, hats and shawls, which are all regarded as the clothing of high-level clergy and preserved. According to the alchemy technology of this era, it is difficult to mass-produce clothing of this quality... Not to mention that it has been popular since at least the imperial era.

From this perspective, could it be that human alchemy, necromancy and preservation actually come from the inheritance of elves?

Think about the ancient races of the same period, whether it is dwarves, giants, dragons, lizardmen and snakemen, they don’t seem to be very good at these things. Even if those technologies were reinvented, the elves who live longer and are more adaptable should have invented the same thing.

While Aiwass was thinking, Sherlock asked, "Then how did you take it away?"

"Me?"

Freya chuckled, but the fake smile on her face did not show any joy.

It was a fake smile similar to Professor Moriarty's, but in a sense completely opposite - Professor Moriarty's fake smile is absolutely invisible. Only people with keen intuition can detect some danger, but Freya's smile can let anyone know that she doesn't want to smile at all.

"Because I offered the elves a price they couldn't refuse."

She smiled and replied: "I promise to use this device to develop drugs that can slow down or even cure amber syndrome."

"... Treat amber syndrome?"

Lily couldn't help but ask: "Can it really be done?"

"Of course. Who do you think I am?"

Freya looked at Lily, and the smile on her face became a little more sincere.

She stroked her unusually soft golden hair and said in an unquestionable tone: "I am Freya Moru, the one who reversed life and death! I am the daughter of James Moriarty!

"Because I am a genius! I am a genius!"
