The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
The All-Knowing One!
That's quite an arrogant title, Sean thought to himself.
After witnessing the 'truth' led by Yog-Sothoth, that kind of existence that cannot be coveted by the human body... the truth behind that may not be what everyone thinks!
"That's pretty strong."
"More than that, Master Meredith is a name passed down from generation to generation, a name shared by the strongest alchemists for over 300 years. Almost every generation has existed to represent us alchemists in our quest for the supreme 'truth'. It's truly remarkable." Rorschach said.
It can be seen that the state alchemists of Kserk admire this name very much!
Like the sun god of Adak...
…………
Entering the alchemist's headquarters feels like entering a laboratory.
If you can see all kinds of strange witchcraft in the wizard tower, such as: moving little people, flying books and cloaks, or those statues and guards that are imprisoned by magic, etc., they all belong to the category of occult arts... which is equivalent to things that are magically cast by common sense physics, but here...
In the country with the largest and most comprehensive number of alchemists, even the headquarters of the national organization gives people a high-tech feeling, and all the instruments and equipment give people the feeling more like a scientific research workshop.
Along the way, Sean saw many alchemists practicing.
Either they are training in carving magic circles, or they are trying to refine various common natural substances.
The flashing light is similar to lightning, which looks quite cool.
"Teacher, look over there!!!" Lucille was impressed by this dazzling ability and kept asking herself about those alchemy things.
"Little girl, your mentor is a capable man. If you study magic under him, you might become a legendary witch!" Perhaps because of Lucille's petite and cute appearance, Rachel, who always spoke seriously, would smile only when talking to her.
"Of course, I will study hard, right, mentor?"
Looking at himself, Sean could only answer in the affirmative.
That’s right, twenty years later you are indeed extremely powerful, almost the strongest person I have ever met... You can indeed be called one of the legendary witches.
I actually cultivated a witch like this myself. When I think about it carefully, I feel a bit proud!
The three of them walked through the front door of the Alchemist's headquarters and went to the back rooms before they saw a man in his forties or fifties with graying temples standing at the door waiting.
"Rachel, Rorschach, you're back!"
"Yes, Master."
The two of them actually came from the same school.
Then this person should be the great alchemist Kedao from Lewis City that they mentioned.
[Health, Mana, Human]
[Favorability: Friendly]
[Combat Power: 3000]
A gifted alchemist, eager for quick success and focused on his position. He is very kind to his subordinates and a very responsible mentor.
Yo~
This is still a chaotic and kind person.
After seeing the other person's real-life attribute data, Sean mentally rated his first impression... However, this style was the most common one he'd seen these days; it was almost always this type of explanation. Normal people rarely had either extremely evil or extremely good people; most of them oscillated between these two realms, doing only what benefited them.
For now, my appearance should be beneficial to them.
"Then this is the wizard who helped us catch the fugitive."
"Sean!"
He took off his hat gracefully and saluted.
"Sir Sean, are you from Zambutal?" A knowledgeable person could tell at a glance that Sean's way of greeting was that of a gentleman from the Zambutal region.
"I'm a resident of Adak, but it's true that I learned my skills in Zambutal." Lucille had already blurted out the place before, and Sean was worried that something might go wrong, so he could only explain it this way.
"I see. Then who is this person..."
"My apprentice!"
He glanced at Lucille.
An ordinary little girl did not arouse much interest from the other party, and almost all the topics revolved around herself.
"I'm so sorry that you came here so early... Because this time, Lord Sean helped us solve a big problem, I really want to thank you on behalf of this city!" Ke Daoer gave him the feeling of a lively loach in the officialdom. He smiled at everyone, but only he knew what he was thinking.
Focus on your status...
I guess there is no doubt about this.
He is similar to the ministers in the Jagon Hall, the only difference is that they do not have the same strength as him.
Because it was still morning, the other party invited me here first to express gratitude, and also to treat me well on behalf of the alchemists who were chasing me... Since it was impossible to eat so early in the morning, I just had a quick breakfast and then Kodor invited me to visit the alchemists' headquarters.
Sean also realized that the other party had something to discuss with him, so he let Lucille play around by herself and not run around, and followed Kodor alone to visit the so-called headquarters of the alchemists.
The two walked towards the alchemist's workshop...
It turns out that even the alchemists of Xerxes haven't forgotten their talents in medicine and blacksmithing.
"Are these for sale?" Sean asked.
"Haha... you guessed it, yes. There are approximately seven or eight hundred people affiliated with the State Alchemists in Lewis City. Although their ranks vary, they all need to be supported. Besides the subsidies provided by the state, each city's headquarters also maintains some commercial activities, which can be regarded as a way to encourage the State Alchemists to develop and innovate."
"Using monetary benefits to encourage subordinates is indeed a good idea." Sean replied approvingly.
"Right, so we are not only the sharp blade of this country, but also the tools of this country's production." Kodor said with a smile.
Sean laughed along with the other person.
But seeing that Ke Daoer's emotional state suddenly changed...
"Can I ask Sir Sean a question?"
"You can say it anyway," Sean replied.
"Occam, the alchemist Sir Sean slew yesterday, was one of the most troublesome alchemists in Xerxes in recent years. He's the one who makes up 70% of the human body, and anyone touched by him is practically deadly... Alchemists we've sent out so far have always had a hard time capturing Occam, but you struck him deadly. From what I've observed, it must be an unavoidable curse, as any material object can be disintegrated when confronted by an alchemist."
Kodor was smiling, but Sean clearly heard the questioning tone in his words when he said these words.
"The fact that he was able to kill a Level 9 Orderer alchemist with a single blow is enough to prove Sir Sean's immense strength. A wizard as powerful as you cannot possibly be completely unknown! So I'd like to ask Sir Sean about his purpose in coming to the city."
really.
For high-level people, it is a taboo to be unknown, and they will be feared wherever they go!
