"Teacher, is it that person?" Lucille kept staring at the person at the hotel entrance while going downstairs.
In addition to the crowded hotel guests and the soldiers, the most eye-catching person was of course the woman known as the Golden Alchemist, Rachel Christian.
"I guess so."
Sean also glanced over subconsciously.
The other party happened to look over here consciously... but just glanced at it and didn't look carefully. Moreover, after they reached the first floor, the people in the hall had already blocked Sean and Lucille's view, so they could not see it.
"She's so beautiful!"
Although still a little kid, Lucille has always had an aesthetic sense for girls.
"Yeah." Sean simply replied.
The other party also saw it, and from the other party's "searching!" look, Sean vaguely felt that they should be looking for the person who dealt the enemy a fatal blow yesterday, that is, himself!
In fact, it was equivalent to helping these state alchemists yesterday.
But why were they looking for him after they'd already caught him? Could it be that the man fell headfirst and died yesterday?
You can't blame yourself for that, it was him who was aiming at you.
There are so many people in this hotel and on the street... It would be bad to just pick any hostage. If they find me, I'll just be unlucky.
Sean took Lucille to the counter to pay. The little girl was curious and wanted to see the noble lady among the alchemists. She looked everywhere for a stool to stand on, but all the stools were occupied and the little girl couldn't see her even if she stood on one.
"I didn't expect the hotel to be so busy this morning."
"It's quite lively..."
"That Rachel Christian actually came here! Tsk tsk! She's a famous alchemist in Lewis City, and you never see her on weekdays!"
Even the guys at the counter were talking about each other while Sean was paying the bill.
"Can you help me settle the bill first?" Sean called out to the other party.
"Oh... I'm sorry, sir. I didn't hear you because there were too many people around. I'll fix it for you right away." After all, it doesn't interfere with the business for those who are doing business while listening.
On the contrary, I found it strange to see Sean's calm demeanor and the way he was dressed.
"Judging from the guest's attire, he must be from the Zambutal region, right?"
"Nonsense, we are from Adak..."
Before Sean could answer Lucille spoke first.
She turned around and looked at the other person... then the little girl realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"Adak? It's rare to see customers dressed like that in the Adak area." The store manager was a knowledgeable man and could tell where they came from just by looking at their attire.
Sean's outfit makes him look more like a Borg from Zambutal than Kserk!
"No wonder you all don't know Miss Rachel. She comes from a famous alchemist family in the city. She is from a prominent family and has a very high status. She is beautiful and has a good temperament. She is the dream lover of many men in the city!" The store manager did not forget to introduce her.
"Oh, I see."
The store manager was puzzled by Sean's indifference.
Could it be that this person’s hobbies are very different from the general public? ! !
I didn't dare ask, and at this time I heard the soldiers' voices coming from the direction of the door.
"Everyone, please be quiet." The person who spoke seemed to be the middle-aged soldier...
When coming down the stairs, Sean paid attention to the noble lady's appearance so that he could deal with her if she really came to cause trouble for him.
There were three State Alchemists in uniform, but the highest-ranking one was Rachel, the blonde with long braids, at Order Level 10! The other two were Level 8 and 9 respectively... It seemed that high-ranking people were only often seen in Adak, while in other regions, anyone above Level 8 was considered high-ranking.
No wonder Adak’s overall industry is not strong, but it can use its strength to make people in the entire northern and southern countries fear it.
As for the soldiers following them, their levels are all below level 7!
After the smoke-pipe-laced voice roared, the hotel indeed became quiet.
"We are the city's garrison. We are here to look for someone. Let Master Rachel explain."
Hearing that it was the other party coming meant that even if you couldn't see the person, you could hear the whistles and boos around you!
"Quiet." The garrison shouted again and the noise finally calmed down.
"Hello everyone, I'm sorry to bother you so early..."
Sean couldn't see the other person at all because of so many people, but the voice of the long-awaited alchemist was not that charming. He looked very proper and a bit old-fashioned, a bit like someone... I couldn't think of who it was at once, probably Mel Susa.
But Melsusa was his subordinate, and she wasn't so cold and serious when she spoke to him.
"...These past few days we've been trying to capture the alchemist fugitive, the Water Alchemist Occam, but thankfully we finally caught him yesterday!"
When he said this, everyone applauded.
Eh?
This will cause applause.
Sean looked at everyone in confusion and simply went up to the store manager.
"By the way, may I ask what crime Occam committed?"
"He's been reported to have killed quite a few people, many of them civilians. He's a brutal killer. A few years ago, whenever people heard he'd arrived in a city, they'd be afraid to go out at night. Now, he's finally been caught!" Expressions of "relieved!" and "happy!" appeared above his head.
"Every city should have garrisons and alchemists, right? They can't defeat him?"
If I think about it carefully, the opponent doesn’t seem to be that strong. He was defeated by just one skill. Is it that scary?
"Tsk, it's normal for a guest from outside to not have heard of his legend. It's said that anyone who fights him will either freeze to death or be steamed to death. It's a very tragic death!"
Freeze, evaporate?
Sean recalled how the other party used alchemy yesterday.
Mist, and icicles!
And the opponent is called the Water Alchemist... It seems that my guess was not wrong. The alchemists of Xerxes are good at using their best and most skilled alchemy methods to fight, quickly decomposing and recombining substances to achieve the purpose of battle!
From this perspective, the alchemists in other countries are obviously much weaker, and they almost only have the ability to refine medicinal materials, including some simple magic!
"...Yesterday, Arkham passed by the canal. As we were chasing him, he rushed towards the inn, but was quickly defeated. When we brought him back to show Master Kedao today, we learned that it was a wizard's curse magic, so we came here early this morning to thank the wizard in person."
Rachel said.
