The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

Stories of ~ * * * * * Part 1 ~

Instead.

Much more than a human country can do in this land.

Behind a certain deep forest, the Queen of Forest Spirits lived with demons and animals.

The forest is so rich, the animals so gentle, and the demons so calmer than the rest of the land.

The Spirit Queen of the Forest ran around with beasts and demons among the trees, sang with the birds, and danced in the flower garden with the children of the Spirit to live quietly and happily ever after.

One time, when the Spirit children called me to the Spirit Queen to the flower garden, one carrot was down there.

The carrot was a hunter who captured and lived the beast with a bow and seemed to have escaped so far with a deep wound from the demon.

In the woods, little beasts eat nuts and bugs, and big beasts live by eating little beasts.

That's why demons eat carrots, because it's one of the sales in the woods.

"Ningen, Tabel. Oreno, feed"

Turning to demons trying to eat hunters by saying so, said the Queen of Spirits.

"Give it to me. I just needed some manpower."

The Spirit Queen looked into the pale eyes of an open hunter and liked it at a glance. So the Queen of Spirits healed your hunter's wounds.

The Queen of Spirits didn't know. That a creature named Tangang is smarter, gentler, and more emotional than any other creature in the forest.

"Oh, what a beautiful one you are"

The awakened hunter saw the Queen of the Spirit and said: Its eyes staring at the Queen of the Spirit are deep, deep pale. Deeper and prettier eyes than the sky than the lake show the Queen of the Spirit.

"Well, what beautiful eyes. What a lovely one.

The Queen of the Spirit becomes obsessed with the beauty of the hunter's pale eyes, the smile he speaks with pleasure, the emotions he turns around, the kindness with which he engages her, the wisdom to come up with all sorts of things.

The Queen of the Spirit never knew such a delicate and unprichness.

When I realized, the Queen of Spirits loved the hunter thing.

That's the same thing for hunters.

They fell in love and lived together amicably in the deep woods.

"Oh, Emily, are you reading a book?

"Yeah. Shelly. Emily, this is the story. - Ishiki!

"Let's talk about heroes. Dragon Killer."

"Me, I want to hear more."

Kids may still be hanging out today on the "Wood Leak Day". Everyone is talking about what they want to say and the conversation is not meshing subtly, but it doesn't seem to matter there. Even if each of the stories goes in a different direction, they seem to laugh at each other at the same time for some reason and really enjoy it. A good example would be that language skills and communication skills are separate.

The school Emily and the others attend has a small but library where they can rent books donated by aristocrats and wealthy merchants, including the Schusenwald Border House. Having learned a few difficult words at school, Emily borrows an old children's book that was in the corner of the library and seems to be doing some reading.

In places like this, our master, who springs up from nowhere and drips out his pussy, still doesn't show up in the store on the "Wood Leak Day" after a single paragraph of the story.

The master is in the process of taking in now.

Anyway, my beloved apprentice, who is also a misogynist, is in a terrible struggle in the workshop upstairs.

"Ugh!!!

"Look, Mariela. Take another breath! Cancer!

Mariella groans like she hasn't had a pass in days and a master who cheers appropriately. The master says another breath, etc., but not a hundred or a thousand more than a breath. Still, Mariella turns her face bright red and compresses the "Shizuku of Life" and the "Smelting Space" containing shards of the ground vein.

"Nooo!!!!!

Even if I raise my voice and force my face to turn bright red, it doesn't really matter to the operation of "Smelting Space," but I can't help but speak up. It's not a bit of pressure at all.

Bong.

The slightly thin spot of "Smelting Space" rips, and the "Shizuku of Life" inside and the fragments of the ground vein begin to fly.

Kakakakakakakan

Since the smelting space was under high pressure, the impact of the smelting space appeared to be an explosion. The "Shizuku of Life" itself blows out of the "Smelting Space" at the same time it dissolves into the atmosphere and disappears, and the blast itself is no big deal because it loses its volume, but the momentum of the well-popped ground vein pops up like a bullet and penetrates as easily as a person's body.

So on the outside of the Smelting Space that Mariella was operating, my master is building me a wall in Smelting Space. Bounced back by the invisible wall built by the master, the shards of the fiercely bouncing ground vein dissolved somewhat in Shizuku of Life, which quickly cracked and disappeared to solve.

How can Master's Smelting Space easily play bullet-like ground vein shards that Mariella's Smelting Space will never prevent? Are the walls made by the Master in the first place really "smelting spaces"? I asked once, "Come on?" He leaned his neck in the face, so it might be something unconscious for his master and unusable for Mariella.

"Fail again..."

"Ha-ha. Too bad! Well, don't turn it up! I have a cup of ingredients. Next time go!

"Mmm, master! Give me some advice. Yo! I have a glass of ground pulse shards, but they are expensive!

How many failures will it be today? Mariella's workshop has a small vein shard about the tip of her pinky finger in the bucket for many drinks. It was all bought from the Agwinas.

The Agwinas have been buying ground vein shards for research and research purposes for the past 200 years. Some of the alchemists who woke up in the basement of the Agwinas family could smell the premium potion, but not all of them were such high-ranking alchemists. Especially in the last hundred years or so, not a single alchemist has woken up to make a special potion.

However, the Agwinas family had some strange family training, one of which was, "Buy and store all ground vein shards," so the weirdly disciplined clan bought ground vein shards for generations and continued to sink into the hole warehouse like a pre-hibernation squirrel.

Yes, Robert was hiding Caroline, a hidden room in the East Forest.

The box Robert was sitting on instead of the chair was a chest full of ground vein shards.

Caroline's kidnapping was recorded as ostensibly taking out this hidden property in secret to Caroline, where Robert took over the housekeeper. Caroline wasn't kidnapped, she went out of her own accord, but she made a little noise because of poor communication.

Shards of the ground vein taken over were purchased by the Labyrinth Crusaders and Mariella with some profit on the price the Agwinas had bought. Geographical shards are expensive items traded in Teito for one large silver coin. You can buy an advanced potion for one grain. The purchase price was one tenth of a silver coin because it was just a beautiful stone in a labyrinth city where there were no alchemists, though. Not an amount commensurate with the struggle of the crusade, but it had been taken at a better price for a useless stone.

That's about a hundred years of the city with the labyrinth. Tens of thousands of ground vein shards were stored, and even if Mariella spent nearly half of the gold coins she had been lumping in for no use, she couldn't buy half of them.

Conversely, the Agwinas family was able to earn unexpected extraordinary income with the purchase of Mariella and the Labyrinth Crusaders. The Agwinas were the ship's income on the crossing because Caroline's engagement with Weishardt had been decided upon and they were expected to spend less to welcome Weishardt, the main body, to their son-in-law.

The Demon Forest is now accessible through the Demon Exclusion Potion. You need to go say hello to the territorial capital and imperial capital of the Schusenwald border uncle, and then you don't have to tailor a few dresses like the revelations in the labyrinth city. From Weishardt, the lead actor, and the outfit of the family accompanying him as well as Caroline, to the carriage he boards and the belongings he brings with him, he needs to have something worthy of his personality.

Even after marriage, we don't have the same income for potions as before, so whether we get land or start a business, we needed the source of the investment so that we could have a suitable life.

As such, Mariella, who spent gold coins financially as told by her master and bought in shards of the ground vein, was encouraged to practice the extraordinary potion while being stirred up by her master.

Every day, they consume nearly a hundred ground pulse shards. It is a great waste.

Failed ground pulse shards disappear like bubbles or smoke, so it may be more accurate that the bubble has begun.

As if gold coins were flying away, the gratitude of Zeke, who picks meat every day, rises in the midst of Mariella. Maybe this one is also a bubble. I want to hope it doesn't go away with bubbles.

"Ugh! Another failure!

Before Siege's value disappeared with bubbles, another fragment of the ground vein that Mariella had tried to dissolve disappeared with bubbles.

Just as the most difficult process in advanced potions was the extraction of the base Lunamagia, even the special potions are the most difficult to dissolve ground vein shards in Shizuku.

Despite the fact that it is, Mariella began to cultivate only her skills without questioning whether that was the kind of thing, with the missing call between her master's "Well, try it."

Habituality from a young age is horrible, and when it comes to masters "being able to do it," they believe it's something they can do.

Shizuku Life dissolves like smoke when it touches a substance outside of the Smelting Space, but its properties are little different from those of water except that it dissolves in water and oil when handled within the Smelting Space.

When water is turned to high temperatures and pressures, the temperature and pressure can be neither gaseous nor liquid at the border. Normally, even objects that do not dissolve in water will dissolve and decompose, but the shards of the ground vein will dissolve in those that put Shizuku of Life in this state.

Most importantly, even without raising the temperature and pressure so far, over time, the sand will melt in water and turn into hard stone. Even at some low temperatures and pressures, the shards of the ground vein will dissolve in Shizuku. If you put a fragment of this slightly melted ground vein outside of Shizuku, it will bounce off and disappear. By the way, when you tap into the ground vein shards, the whole thing bounces off into fine grains and breaks apart into the atmosphere again at the next moment. So there's no way to finely crush and melt easily, and Mariella compresses the Shizuku of Life with shards of the ground vein every day these days.

I don't think I have to put in the ground-vein shards if I just want to compress Shizuku, but for some reason, my master won't forgive me.

"Ahhhh! Difficult!"

"…… it's obvious."

It was Robert, who stood behind his master as a servant, who was accidentally putting a penetration into Mariella's cry.

"In the first place……………………"

"Lobo, I'm sorry to interrupt Mariela."

Bishy, Bishy, Bishy, Bishy, Bishy. The Master's Decopin attack bursts.

"Ah. Ouch! Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

"You, you said servant until I gave you your money back. I know.

"Hi, ha. So if it's money, Grandpa will……………………"

"That's home money, isn't it? I mean, Cal's money. It's not your money anymore. I'm not ashamed to imitate my debt, to give it back to my sister, am I?

"But how long will it be……………?"

"Ahem? You don't know that debt has an interest? If you say something thin, you're gonna burn it, right?

"Suck, swimmer......"

Mariella looks at the exchange between her master and Robert.

A few days after Caroline's abduction, the master somehow brought Robert in.

"For the money I loaned, let it work"

Something like that.

The money the master lent Robert in the first place was owed to Hargey, and it was Mariela who returned the money to Hargey. The master shouldn't even be offering a single copper coin...

The day he was first brought in, Robert looked worse than he had seen in the basement before, he had a neighborhood under his eyes, and he was looking at a point somewhere and he was bumping something, a little disgusting. Whether the curse control was no longer good, my eyes were set on the mundane clap and I was spilling the curse over there like a dog or something marking everywhere.

Each time, the master's "Fire!" The Decopin attack was bursting and scolded, so it was noisy.

By the way, my master's "Fire!" Whenever it bursts, Robert is wrapped in a fire column, but for some reason, he doesn't burn, and his hair doesn't get chilly. Occasionally I get licked by flames and my skin gets lightly red or my clothes just burn a little. Mariella thinks it's okay that her sleeves and hem were burnt, but is Robert intolerable or does he change into new, identically designed clothes each time, and tells his master, "I'm going to add to my debt!". It's a snowman's ceremony because it also rides interest rates.

Every day, Robert returns to the Agwinas family, and it's no different that he's a person in the Agwinas family except that he doesn't inherit the housekeeper, and Robert's clothes are prepared by the Agwinas family, so even though it's really free, his master's yakuza plenty is a big deal.

But the master said, "Fire!" Every time I do, Robert is spilling the curse less often, and I'm feeling kind of disgusted, so both Mariella and the regular folks at "Wood Leak Day" are making my master like me.

Above all.

"Yes! Oh, I didn't trash it. Rob, let me in."

It would be greatly appreciated if you didn't have to go out with the master's irrationality, like throwing trash into the trash can and flipping the trash can over to remove it would make him pick up the contents.

(Sa, the master leaves it to Mr. Robert to work a little harder -!

Satisfied just to be entrusted with the opponent of a troublesome and handy master, Mariella resumes the process of dissolving the shards of the ground vein.

Robert is about to say, and Mariella doesn't notice the information her master blocked.

In Teito, the process of dissolving the shards of the Earth's vein into Shizuku does not take place in the Smelting Space alone. Because the pressure is too high. The Smelting Space simply stretches inside a thick metal container, even which is stretched by one or more alchemists. Place 10 "Shizuku of Life" and ground-vein shards in a metal container like a hole drilled into a block of metal to the extent that one finger enters, push a metal piston of the same inner diameter perfectly from the top and apply a load of several hundred kilometers from the top. And heat the metal container from the outside.

During the 200 years Mariella was asleep, many advances were made in the material of the container, the pressurization method, the heating method, etc., but the method of using the container and mechanically applying the pressure itself has not changed.

And even 200 years of progress has not allowed us to control Shizuku Life to the temperature and pressure that completely dissolves the shards of the ground vein. So, theoretically, we use as many as 10 pieces of ground vein as one grain to manage to dissolve one piece of ground vein shard.

Even though it's so difficult, the master has instructed Mariella to completely melt the ground pulse shards with only her skills.

(I don't know, I also did when I was in Luna Magia extract, but I don't feel like I should just hold it from the outside...)

Mariella caught a shard of the ground vein at her fingertips. Glitter and very pretty. If you look closely, one by one, the shape, size, color and light condition are slightly different. It's like Raptor or Yagoo. They all looked the same at first, but when we get along, we become discernible for each individual.

(Oh, I see...)

Somehow, Mariela grabbed a hint and grabbed it to wrap a grain of ground vein shards around her.
