"Your Highness, you can't stay here studying alchemy forever. You need to go out for a walk, don't you?"

Spending too much time in the study can have some negative effects on your health…

"Alice, I feel pretty good now, but what you said makes sense."

"Go outside and take a look around. Consider it a temporary relaxation; you might discover some new ideas."

In the study, Edward put down the alchemy books he was holding and stretched his neck.

Six years have passed since that conversation about alchemy, and Edward is now seven years old.

During this time, he was not idle at all. In order to avoid the worst possible scenario he had anticipated, he felt that he, as the crown prince, should work as hard as possible.

Although one person's strength is insignificant, Edward believed he could change something.

He had already sensed that his own talent was a wisdom and power that surpassed that of most people.

Over the past few years, he has studied almost all the commonly circulated teaching materials on gold chain technology in China.

The emperor had previously arranged several alchemy teachers for him, but each teacher's instruction period would not exceed one month.

Those people came full of confidence, and then left dejected.

"How should I put it? I've learned almost everything they have in their heads. There are some questions I can't even get answers to, which is a pity."

They promised me extensive knowledge, but it seems insufficient, far from enough, much less than I imagined.

As Edward walked out of the palace, he sighed, but his words silenced the maid beside him for a moment.

"Your Highness, people cannot be generalized. You must understand that different people have different strengths."

The maid used the most tactful way possible, but she was also surprised by Edward's learning ability.

Under normal circumstances, it would take an alchemy apprentice at least ten years to master the knowledge Edward had seen, starting from scratch.

Moreover, this was under the premise that they had a certain level of mastery of mathematics and science.

Edward, a child with no prior knowledge, completed the course in less than six years.

He even gained some knowledge about the field of magic.

"I heard His Majesty has been in a good mood lately; it seems His Highness's achievements have been recognized."

Edward and his companion did not prepare a special entourage for this trip out of the palace. The two of them simply changed into civilian clothes, and a few guards followed them nearby just in case.

"I've seen the outside world many times in books, but this is the first time I'm going to see it with my own eyes. I hope I can gain something different."

Leaving through the side gate and onto the street, apart from the relatively low buildings, the scenery didn't present a significant difference in elevation.

The buildings are white, the streets are paved with stone bricks, and the passersby are wearing clothes that look like they are made of good materials.

"Because alchemy is indeed convenient enough. Although we still need to continue to study its destructive aspects, it has made great progress in creation."

Edward was not surprised by the scene here.

Just as he had been thinking to himself, alchemy was indeed incredibly convenient.

A skilled alchemist can complete the construction of a building in less than half an hour.

Alchemists, skilled in metalworking, can completely remove impurities and extract 100% pure metal from ores.

There are records of alchemy turning black soil into wasteland in the past, so they could naturally use alchemy to create fertile land as well.
