It seems that if I answer incorrectly or have even the slightest doubt, the other person's attitude will change.
Your answer determines the treatment you will receive next!
"Exploration." Sean answered with just two words.
"Explore?" Ke Daer asked [curiously!].
I'm here to open the map, I can't just say that.
"Yes, I'm a free wizard. Before, I was just studying in the academy. Later, I had the opportunity to join the Sun Crown Organization. But I am a casual person and don't like constraints...so I traveled far across the ocean." Sean began to think about how to make things go away.
The part about the sea must be told, and there must be no falsehood in it.
Because Lucas, Edith and several other merchants were still in this city, with the ability of these national alchemists, they could find them by just checking the cargo ships that entered the port that day. After all, they were all common merchants in this area. If what they said didn't match anything, they would probably be labeled suspicious.
Sean was still hoping to get more information from them.
Since the missionaries are related to the State Alchemists, Sean came here to get some information from them so that he can continue his mission.
"But I was lucky. When I was on the cargo ship, I met a girl with magical talents."
"Is that your apprentice?" said Ke Daer.
"Indeed, she was able to master the basic techniques of using magic in just half a month. She is a very rare genius."
"It's really rare!" High-level alchemists don't mean they know nothing about magic. On the contrary, they can also use some magic, and even their proficiency in certain magic is far superior to that of wizards.
"So I'm going to take this opportunity to take her around. Experiencing things is also part of learning."
It was like he was traveling, but after receiving a disciple like Lucille, he changed his mind and wanted to travel on her behalf first.
"I see."
Ke Daoer nodded in response, but Sean could see that he still had some questions. But for now, he could only accept it. Even if he went to ask the merchants, the results would be the same. At least this way, he would have a clear purpose.
As for identity, it doesn’t matter anyway.
There are so many wizards in this world, Sean doesn't believe he can find the first one in any of them.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sean. Things in the city have been very sensitive recently." He still had to apologize symbolically.
"It's okay, I understand."
The other party smiled and asked again.
"Then Sir Sean learned magic in Adak?"
Holy crap!
You really have to ask such detailed questions.
These people are really boring...even a little boring in Sean's opinion. Several places are more than half a month's sailing distance away, and they may not know them even if he tells them.
But to be on the safe side, he still had to say something beneficial to himself. After all, he was from the timeline twenty years later... He had no idea what legendary wizards there were in this era. The port of Adak was relatively close to the port of Lewis. Maybe this old guy really knew some of the situation on the other side.
"no."
Sean thought for a moment and said.
"I first started learning magic in the Zambutal region. Since the city where my family lived when I was young was close to the great desert on the western front, I learned the initiation of magic from the wizard Alinta in the Bashalan Empire."
"Eleenta!"
Looking at Kedaoer's [confused!] expression.
how……
It’s too far, is it that you don’t know it anymore?
Sean suddenly remembered the wizard organization that Igonia belonged to. Alinta, a wizard organization at the beginning of the Bashalan Empire, also existed in this era. Igonia was not born yet, but her mentor Ash should have just reached adulthood.
"It's Alinta." Sean emphasized.
"No wonder Sir Sean dresses more like someone from the Zambutal region."
The two chatted and laughed at each other.
It seems that the alchemist has not found any suspicious points in me for the time being, so I will still be a guest of honor in this city during this period of time.
If I talk to them a little, I should be able to find out whether the matter is true or not!
The two of them walked around the alchemy workshop again.
Sean didn't know much about alchemy, so he didn't need to pretend. He could just ask directly if he encountered it.
This way, he would appear more like a wandering wizard seeking education to the other party...
"If I hadn't come to Xerk this time, I would never have had such an interest in alchemists. The fighting style you use is very special, at least I have never seen it among the alchemists I have met." Sean couldn't help but say when he saw alchemists practicing material reorganization.
"Indeed, we, the Kserks, are perhaps the only people of all nations who have truly elevated alchemy to a higher level than witchcraft."
"Oh! Then I'd like to ask Mr. Ke Dale, what is the difference between the two?"
Sean rarely made progress in alchemy. He had succeeded several times when he tried it before, and it didn't seem as difficult as the rumors said.
As long as you find the corresponding materials and quantities, you can decompose and reassemble them under your own magic... The only thing that makes you a little interested is the appearance of the Alchemy Stone later.
It is indeed tempting to disregard the principle of equal exchange!
Having that thing also means that even stones can be turned into gold.
All the material principles are meaningless in front of it, which is why Sean later chased it to the sea.
………
I asked the other party, but Ke Daer seemed to be keeping it a secret.
He walked to a furnace...
There are also scrap metal residues on the ground.
"Sir Sean, what do you think these things are used for?" He held it in his hand and stretched it out.
Small iron beads.
Or it should be called iron ore waste slag. Those small particles that are not smelted and formed are no longer useful.
"It's useless."
"In the eyes of wizards, these things are completely useless. Their magic, as we would call it, is arcane, and its origins are unknown... We can only say it's a gift from the gods, unleashed through spells and common sense in magical applications. However, many wizards find it difficult to truly decipher magic."
"But alchemy is different. We understand the world from its own perspective. Whether it's stone, soil... or even the most common water, as long as we understand its essence, we can reuse it."
As he spoke, a few small iron filings flashed in his hands, like water droplets gathering together and gradually merging, finally becoming a delicate handicraft like a mini badge.
“If you understand it, you can use it… break it down… and reassemble it.”
“One life is for the many, and the many become one.”
Kodal said.
