"Resurrecting a dead daughter? What's going on?"
"Shhh!!"
Jian Xiaoen's voice was a little louder, and the clothing store owner was so scared that he hurriedly looked outside the store...
No one.
Occasionally, a passerby would glance over here out of curiosity, only reassuring themselves after confirming that the State Alchemist team had gone far away.
Close the windows and the door too!
“You are…”
"You scared me to death, customer. If someone outside heard what you just said, it would get out, and I'd be the one who would suffer." The store manager had an angry look on his face, but his expression was normal.
"Is this necessary? Is this matter forbidden to be discussed?" Sean asked.
"It's not forbidden, it's just that no one knows about it yet... Well, since I've just said it, I'll tell you, otherwise you'll definitely get into trouble." After blurting out the matter in a moment of haste, the clothing store manager seemed to have no need to hide it.
It's better to say it all at once, otherwise if these two people go out and spread it, you will be the one who suffers in the end.
"Because my brother works as a national investigator, he said this to me when he was drunk at my house."
"Investigator? What are you investigating?" Sean asked hurriedly.
More than 20 years later, I also got a group of investigators. The female thief who was sent out at the beginning was all members of the Vanir team. They were investigators distributed by me in various regions, and so far, the female thief has also made some gains. Vanir and others have gradually become my intelligence network and started to collect intelligence in various regions on my behalf.
"At first, it was mineral exploration work, and later on, I was also responsible for collecting intelligence on alchemists. In our country, famous alchemists have their own titles, but there are many other alchemists with strong abilities outside the country. In order to better grasp their information, Xerxes secretly organized an investigation team."
Sean listened to the store manager's description.
"Isn't this kind of thing a secret in Kselke?" Seeing that the other party spoke to him so casually, it seemed that he didn't care about the consequences at all.
It seems that the secret investigation team is not so secret after all!
"Well, it's certainly not a secret. Everyone knows that there are various organizations in the country, but they just don't have the information they have," said the store manager.
"I also learned this from that brother. I heard that King Elric's favorite passed away due to illness, and now all the alchemists in the country are trying to save the little princess."
"Why should a dead person keep trying?" It was little Lucille who spoke.
Although she rarely spoke, she was always observing the surrounding situation when following Sean, especially after Sean's teachings just now, she paid more attention to these subtle changes. This seemed to have become one of the most important habits as a wizard.
"How could I possibly know about this? I only heard about it. But you can't talk about Princess Elric's death. And with so many alchemists dispatched, don't talk about it, whether it's true or not."
The manager emphasized it many times, and finally stopped talking when a customer knocked on the door. However, when Sean was about to leave, he was stopped by the other party.
She didn't say anything, but her eyes seemed to be telling Sean not to go over and talk nonsense...
"I see."
I got a positive answer, but the store manager looked worried.
After leaving the clothing store, Sean was still thinking about what the manager had just said.
"Teacher, should we go to the alchemist?" The little girl spoke so loudly that Sean, who was still thinking, was startled back to his senses.
around.
All kinds of strange eyes were staring at me.
Maybe it’s not intentional, but at this age they really can’t control themselves completely. They say they speak in a low voice... In fact, the sound of their voice can be heard by everyone around them, but they think they are speaking in a low voice.
"No, let's go to the Scholar's Library first." Sean said.
A warning message "being watched" appeared in my field of vision, and I guess the pedestrians I just heard have already focused their attention on me.
Pulling the little girl, he walked towards the less crowded streets.
"Teacher...I..."
Lucille seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing and said it with a wronged look.
"It's okay. Alchemists in Kserk have always been popular, just like wizards... You forgot, when I was on the ship, many people came to visit me after hearing that I was a wizard."
"Should I have said something like that just now?"
"Anyway, what the shop owner said was a lie." Perhaps it was for the little girl's safety, or perhaps he wanted to comfort Lucille for a moment, anyway, Sean suddenly said this.
"Fake?"
Well……
Seeing the little girl's "surprised!" expression, Sean could only continue to lie.
"Well, think about it, we've never met them before. How could the investigation team tell us such secrets? The State Alchemist is indeed very busy, but we don't know whether it has anything to do with the little princess of this country." Sean said.
This way of going around it actually seems very reasonable.
But sometimes people are just strange. Maybe the other party simply wants to save face and improve their reputation in front of an outsider like you by telling you the gossip they know.
Just to hear a word of praise and flattery, that's all.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then where are we going now, mentor?" At this age, Lucille is simple-minded and doesn't have so many cunning ideas. She is the easiest type to teach.
"Let's find a place to stay for now, and then we'll go to the wizard gathering place in this city and teach you some magic."
"Is it that kind of unpopular magic?"
"Uh...yes."
The lie had already been told, and the hurdle of Eternal Light was probably unavoidable. From then on, Lucille was an independent wizard who studied unpopular magic, and the two of them even set up their own school.
"That alchemy."
"Leave it alone for now. Remember, Lucille...be focused on learning any magic. Don't spend too much time on other subjects until you've mastered all of magic. Not all learning is meaningful. In fact, not delving too deeply into many things is the best way to protect yourself."
The little girl tilted her head, seemingly not understanding.
"Just remember it first."
Suddenly Sean thought of something...
Perhaps it was because of what I said that Lucille still didn't understand the principles of alchemy more than 20 years later.
Study magic first, then learn other subjects.
