Lucille did have a little money. It seemed that the captain of the cargo ship gave her a lump sum when she left the fleet, saying that it was the reward for her work on the ship over the years.
But child laborers don’t get any compensation. I guess they only pay them for their own sake.
At that time, Sean gave them a small bag of gold coins to avoid trouble. They probably didn't dare to accept it and sent it back to Lucille in another way...
In the first few days, Lucille was reluctant to take it out until one evening when I went to her room to look for it.
"Okay then, let's go for a walk together!"
Sean, of course, agreed.
The state alchemists of Kserk can also be considered as the source of intelligence that he wants to find. They may not know less than Occam, especially when it comes to pagan believers, they are bolder. Sean has always been very careful to maintain these relationships.
The three of them left the alchemist's headquarters together. This time, it seemed that Rorschach did not follow them, after all, Rachel was already there.
………………
The streets of Lewis City are not as prosperous as those of Jagun, but they are much better than the city of Oro where he lived.
Maybe it’s because it’s a port city.
But today, it's quite lively...
"It seems there aren't usually so many people in this city."
"Of course not. This only happens when a foreign caravan arrives... Since alchemy occupies the majority of the country's research and development and combat power, the Xerxes are more conservative when it comes to resource extraction and production. Most of the new and novel things are sent by Zambutal and Adak."
Sean thought carefully about the tribute that Kselke had given to the Sun King twenty years later.
Don't say.
Apart from the Alchemy Stone and the Undying Wine, which are quite amazing, everything else is very ordinary and can even be made in Adak.
"By the way, Rachel... I've been seeing you alchemists practicing at headquarters these past few days, and I have a question I'd like to ask you."
The two people in front suddenly stopped.
"Master Sean, what are you curious about? Is it about alchemy?"
"I guess so. I often hear you talk about the principle of equivalent exchange in your teachings. Just like the metals you use, they must be made from something. Is it possible that there is a kind of alchemy that doesn't require this method and can connect iron into gold and silver?"
Twenty years later, the Alchemy Stone of Kserk had this property. Sean wanted to see if they had mastered it in the intervening years.
Rachel's face suddenly turned serious.
"Is this what Master Sean guessed?"
"You have to be curious. What witchcraft can create, if alchemy can also achieve it."
At this moment, the three of them were still walking on the street...
We are getting closer to the port. There is a busy street near the port of Lewis, which is the King's Avenue.
When she first came here a month ago, she bought clothes there, and those merchants seemed to be doing business in this area. It could be regarded as a material trading center, so there were naturally a lot of people. So although Rachel had a serious expression on her face, she spoke normally.
"This kind of thing is considered outrageous among many alchemists. If you want to obtain something, you need to pay a corresponding price... For many years, some alchemists have been pursuing the so-called 'truth'. If they obtain higher knowledge, will they be able to obtain a way without paying a price? But many years have passed, and no one has ever really done it. Pursuing such things is unrealistic, but some people still do it." Rachel showed an expression of disgust.
But Sean could see a different situation from above the opponent's head.
Sure enough, there are still people continuing this kind of research... and there must be someone, otherwise it wouldn't appear in front of me twenty years later.
There should have been an Alchemy Stone in his pocket, but he had used it several times in the battle with Beckman, the ancient god believer, and then lost it!
Fortunately, I lost it, otherwise, if it appeared in this era, it would probably become an opportunity for the future...
At her age, Lucille didn't quite understand the conversation between the two. She simply thought that their relationship might be bad, so she immediately changed the subject.
"Teacher, Sister Rachel, look..." She suddenly pointed at the cloth loaded on the carriage in the distance.
The white gauze scarf is obviously an Adak product.
"Let's go over there and take a look." After saying that, he took Rachel's hand and ran over first, while Sean followed slowly behind.
As expected, these were things delivered by a large caravan, and the entire King's Avenue became busy.
I remember they said before that this fleet of cargo ships came from Jagong. At that time, Dansu Port was still an independent country, so it should be a caravan from Lu Port... It seems that Jagong had already shown signs of recovery twenty years ago. It is no wonder that it became so rich later with such a large foreign trade.
"Sir Sean!!"
Just then a voice called out to Sean.
There were a lot of people on the street and Sean's gentlemanly attire attracted a lot of attention, but no one would look at it unless it was a sign of danger.
When I turned around, the person who appeared in front of me was Lucas, the traveling merchant I met on the cargo ship.
"Lucas? Why are you still in the city? I thought you had left!"
Traveling merchants do not have fixed stores and almost always resell their goods before leaving to buy a new batch in the next city.
Of course, Sean didn't know much about the business, so he just thought so...but all the travel businessmen he met were like this.
