During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.
This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...
Chapter 551 Pioneer Freya
Freya's eyes shone with an extremely bright and dazzling golden light.
That kind of absolute self-confidence that cannot be questioned, the laziness that does not need any explanation, is the trust in oneself.
Ai Hua was immediately moved: "Could it be... the fifth energy level?"
"——Naturally, I am a 'pioneer' of the fifth energy level."
Freya smiled gently and reached out to gently tap Aiwas's brow. Her arrogant aggression also weakened a little. "If not, how can you be called a genius?"
The higher-ranking profession of the Alchemist, the Pioneer.
This is the most difficult of the advanced professions in the Path of Balance, and even in all paths.
Its number is overwhelmingly rare, and many alchemists can only turn to other professions.
Simply put, this is a purely NPC-only profession, and it is impossible for players to change jobs.
It requires that transcendents possess at least one "incredible, world-changing invention" before advancing to the fourth level. Among all mainstream professions, this is one of the few that leads directly to the Pillar God... Just like the relationship between Torchbearers and Candleholders, Pioneers and Sand Clocks are inextricably linked.
Each of these pioneers is a world-renowned inventor. With the mission of "opening up the world's possibilities," they serve as the visible hand that drives the development of the times and controls the orderly evolution of the world. They can even be called the spokespersons and earthly apostles of Sand Time.
"To be honest, I have made considerable progress in treating Ningpo." Freya said with a smile.
Hearing this, Janice's eyes lit up: "Oh? You didn't tell me this."
"Because I originally planned to speak out when I had a bigger breakthrough."
Freya folded her arms, nodded cheerfully, and said, "But since Aiwass is interested... I can show it to you. After all, this and the study of the wine of immortality are two sides of the same coin."
After Freya finished speaking, she put on the ugly iron helmet and walked towards a machine that was running automatically.
Aiwass's expression was a little strange. He looked at Sherlock and gave him a comforting look.
He understood it clearly - what Freya meant by this was as if "If Aiwass wasn't here, I would never show it to you."
Although Freya did not make any moves to get too close to Aiwass, she tried her best to keep her distance.
But even so, Freya kept emphasizing the "uniqueness of Aiwass" in her words, and was madly implying that as Freya's family member, he had some special meaning to her.
This somewhat clumsy show of goodwill was not lost on Aiwass. But it even made Aiwass feel a little unfamiliar.
It turns out that there are people in the Moriarty family with such a silly personality?
Not to mention the professor and Aiwass. Aiwass has gradually realized that Yulia seems to be just pretending to be soft in front of him, but is actually a very independent, competitive and self-centered person.
The eldest brother, Edward, seemed to be very silent, but in fact he thought a lot. It was just that he never expressed his thoughts, and kept them all in his heart. He was a loner who tended to suppress himself, but he was never a fool.
But Freya, who is already 31 years old this year, is obviously not good at interacting with others.
It wasn't that she lacked sociability, but she couldn't hide her thoughts. Whether it was her coldness towards Sherlock or her overtures towards Aiwass, it was all so obvious... She just wanted to chat with Aiwass, so Sherlock could be a little good-tempered when he first said something, but glared back at her the next time.
— has a very distinct “Did I talk to you?” quality.
Although she didn't say it out loud, the meaning was fully expressed.
But she couldn't find a topic at all, so she could only start to introduce her own research - even though she knew that Aiwass didn't understand it, it didn't matter, she was just trying her best to express how great she was.
...Perhaps geniuses have this kind of personality problem.
I can't believe that the professor's biological daughter has this type of personality.
So when Freya came back, Aiwass asked directly: "Sister Freya, what is this helmet made of?"
"Oh, are you interested in this?"
Freya took off her helmet with one hand, her hair falling as she smiled casually. "This is a good thing... It can hide the hair on your head, preventing your hair and beard from being burned, and it can also filter out some harmful gases that you might inhale. Dwarves used to wear it when approaching various furnaces. I traded a dozen Sacred Tree No. 3s for it. Do you like it? If you do, I'll give it to you."
"Ah, that's not necessary."
Aiwass waved his hand quickly and politely declined.
This helmet... although it might be somewhat useful, it looks too ugly.
It looked like a steel-blue motorcycle helmet with a metal trousers welded to the top. Aiwass was simply curious as to why Freya would wear such an ugly helmet.
Now that he heard its origin, he could only say... This is truly worthy of the dwarven aesthetic. This thing can even be used as a miner's hat and helmet.
It doesn't matter if it's ugly, as long as it's useful.
"Apparently, Aiwass thinks this thing is ugly."
Janice folded her arms beside her and complained, "You don't think anyone will like this, do you?"
"As long as it works."
Freya shrugged, "My hair is so long, if I didn't have it I would have cut it long ago. Wearing it on my hair will instantly hide it all. It's okay if such a good thing is ugly... Oh, by the way, Aiwass! Do you want shampoo?"
As she spoke, she casually placed the helmet on the table and ran her fingers through her hair, letting Aiwass watch it flow through her fingers like water.
"Look at how smooth this is! It also prevents static and frizz. Even if you wear a hat or helmet, it will return to normal immediately after taking it off. This is the shampoo I invented, and it hasn't been put into production yet... Do you like it?"
“…This is pretty good.”
Aiwass could only admit it.
Although Aiwass's hair has returned to the length it was when he was interviewed by reporters at the Pelican Bar - the length he had when he was still the wheelchair warrior. But Isabel seems to like his long hair and may have to grow it back in the future.
Long hair looks good, but it is difficult to take care of.
Hearing this, Freya immediately smiled happily: "I still have some samples here, you can use them first. I will contact some antimony factories to start production later..."
Janice coughed twice and interrupted, "Xingti is currently at war with Avalon, so it might be difficult to ship anything over."
"What? How can this be?"
Freya frowned. "Don't be afraid—I will immediately write a letter condemning Valentine VII and put an end to this war in the name of the Pioneers."
"…It was Avalon who instigated it."
Yannis added.
Hearing this, Freya's eyes widened.
This was the first time Aiwass saw an expression of disbelief on her face.
“…Oh, my God.”
After a long time, Freya coughed and sighed dryly.
At that moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Then I...contact Avalon?"
Freya asked tentatively, "But does Avalon have a factory that produces this kind of craft? Or... should we stop the war for now? War isn't good anyway... Is Sofia still the queen now?"
"Didn't I tell you that Isabel took the throne?"
Janice couldn't help but complain, "What did you remember? Why am I here if Sofia is still alive?"
"…Who is Isabel? When did you tell me?"
Freya thought for a moment and decisively threw the blame: "I told you not to come over and talk when I'm doing an experiment. I didn't hear you."
"you……"
"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore. We'll talk about it later."
Freya interrupted Janice and carefully took the liquid in the sealed container and said, "This is my major breakthrough in amber syndrome."
“…How far have we gotten?”
Janice was the first to come over and asked in a low voice.
As an elf who was born in the country of theocracy and has been wandering outside for two hundred years, she is very concerned about this issue.
"I can now force-induce an attack of amber syndrome."
Freya spoke proudly, pressing the seal on top before unscrewing the bottle. "I call it the Tears of Time. Even the Pope would instantly turn to amber if he came into contact with this concentrated potion."
Hearing this, Janice took several steps back as if she had been electrocuted.
For the first time, Aiwas saw clear fear on Janice's face.
Amber Syndrome is indeed an lingering fear engraved deep in the hearts of all elves.
Janice's pupils trembled, and her voice seemed to tremble as well: "Then don't bring it over here—you call this a major breakthrough?"
"What do you know? A painter like you can never understand my great talent."
Freya said disdainfully, "Being able to induce an attack with 100% certainty means we're only one step away from a cure—"
"So, what's the last step?"
“So I’m researching!”
Freya was furious: "I told you I was going to... eh?"
She was stunned for a moment, looked at the bottle carefully, and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong?"
Aiwass asked.
“…one-third less.”
Freya's expression was serious: "It's broken."
