"What? Ben's alchemy notes?" Everyone in the audience who knew what this tool was was surprised, and now they also understood why the emperor was so surprised. Anyone would be surprised too.
Ban is a legendary alchemist from a thousand years ago. His alchemical skills are so advanced that they have surpassed human cognition. If a country obtains his skills, it will make it stronger.
This is somewhat similar to modern technology on Earth. The country that obtains the highest technology will become powerful.
In order to obtain his technology, many people offered countless tempting conditions, but he never made any promises. Some people wanted to snatch it away, but found that doing so was almost impossible.
Alchemists have their own special fighting style. They use alchemical arrays to summon magical elements. They can also change some things in the surrounding environment. Some only change the shape, while others even transform their material structure.
A powerful alchemist can definitely compete with their corresponding magician or warrior, and they usually have certain alchemical items, so it becomes more difficult for others to deal with them.
However, alchemists need to calculate various factors while fighting, and accurately draw alchemy arrays, etc., so the conditions are very harsh. Ordinary alchemists can only learn to protect themselves at most, and it is very difficult to advance to become masters. It is rare to find a master in a hundred years.
But if the alchemists were given enough time to prepare in advance, they could easily blast a master into pieces.
"Well, yes, that's what the news says. The tools are now in our imperial capital." The emperor nodded.
"What? Whoever has the tool now, we must get it no matter what the price." said a brave-looking general. The general was not young anymore and it seemed that he was the Grand Marshal of the empire.
As the Grand Marshal of a country, he naturally knew the benefits of Ban's alchemy notes to the army. If they could make one or two powerful alchemy magic devices, they would be invincible.
"This person mentioned above surprised me." The emperor looked a little strange and looked at Ye Chengtian on the side.
“???” Ye Chengtian didn’t understand what this strange expression meant, and others who didn’t know thought that this thing had fallen into the Ye family.
"Chengtian, your Ye family has obtained this thing, so just give it to us. You cannot embezzle it. At most, I will give you some leniency in the future. As for your position as the head of the family, I will definitely support you to the end." The Grand Marshal said very directly.
"Uncle Li, if our Ye family had this, with my father's personality, wouldn't he have taken it out and presented it to you as a treasure long ago?" Ye Chengtian said helplessly.
The relationship between Marshal Li and Ye Yi could be described in three words: close buddies. They grew up together, sabotaged others together, chased girls together, and traveled the world together...
Although both of them have become grandfathers now, they still argue whenever they are together and quarrel over trivial matters. Of course, these are just signs of their good relationship.
"That's true. If you had this, he would have come here right away today instead of hiding at home to be intimate with Sister Lian'er." Even if no one said it, Marshal Li knew that Ye Yi must be sticking with Ruan Lian'er. He also couldn't understand why these two old couples could always maintain this state, while the relationship between him and his wife was much more distant.
However, Marshal Li would not think that his love for his wife was weaker than Ye Yi's, it was just that their methods were different.
"Chengtian, the person who got this tool is actually your Ye family, but you don't know it. Maybe even he himself doesn't know it." At this time, the emperor said something puzzling.
"???" Ye Chengtian looked at the emperor in confusion, wanting to hear his next words.
"Little Ye Lang, come here for a moment. I have a question for you." The emperor waved to the little prodigal who was still talking to Ye Lanyu. However, the little prodigal didn't hear him at all, which made him depressed for a while.
However, as soon as the emperor started calling him "little prodigal son", everyone seemed to understand. Could it be that...
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" The little prodigal asked directly after being pulled over by Hu Niu.
"Xiao Yelang, did you buy a strange box at the auction house today?" The emperor asked with a slight smile.
"Yes, I bought it for 100,000 gold coins." The little prodigal boy replied.
"Then do you know what's inside?" the emperor asked tentatively.
"I don't know." The little prodigal shook his head.
"That's true. Since you didn't know, why did you buy it?" the emperor asked with some confusion.
"I want to squander the family's wealth." The little prodigal son said righteously.
“…”
Everyone in the Ye family, whether they were from the older generation or the younger generation, covered their foreheads with their hands, expressing an extreme helplessness. They all guessed that there would be such an answer.
"Why don't you stop him from squandering money like this? Is this all the money your Ye family has?" Marshal Li said. He had heard of this little prodigal son of the Ye family, but he only realized his level today.
"You think we don't want to do it, but he likes it this way, and we have no way to stop him. Besides, there are often strange items among the things he buys, and their value is unimaginable." Ye Chengtian said a little strangely.
That's right, if this little prodigal son didn't buy extremely rare treasures from time to time, the people of the Ye family probably wouldn't let him squander his money. At least they would control him and only let him spend a maximum of 100,000 gold coins.
But, is this also called control?
"Yes, I know this too. He seems to have been blessed by the goddess of luck since he was a child. Take this time for example, the box he bought for 100,000 gold coins is worth far more than what he lost before. Even spending 10 million would be cheap." said the emperor.
"Could it be that Ben's alchemy notes are in the box? Little Ye Lang, quickly show your Grandpa Li the box you bought." Marshal Li said.
"Okay, um... who is Grandpa Li?" The little prodigal nodded, and then found that he seemed to not know who Grandpa Li was.
“…”
“Puff…”
Everyone around chuckled, then immediately pretended to be serious, their expressions completely denying that they had just laughed, and it seemed that the emperor and others were among them.
"Son, your Grandpa Li is him. You met him when you were a child." Long Anqi held back her laughter and tapped the little prodigal son.
"When?" The little prodigal still couldn't remember.
"When you're full moon."
"oh……"
“…”
