Chapter 235: The Origin of the Alchemist
The capital of the Tutan Dynasty is a city near the northern seas, called Tut City. Tut City is not far from the orc country, so it is also a prosperous trading city.
The king of the Tutan Dynasty was called Tutan. It was originally just the title of the city lord of Tutan City. It originally meant to be the son of the god of Titan. However, with the independence of each city-state, Tutan City-state perished in an internal rebellion more than 300 years ago.
The title of Tutan is now just a symbolic title and no longer has its original meaning. It is a synonym for the rule. Even after the Tutan dynasty became a country with a city-constitutional alliance system more than a hundred years ago, the title of Tutan lost even the original meaning of the king. Although the outside world has always called Tutan the Tutan dynasty, if the title of Tutan City-constitutional alliance is used, it would be more accurate.
A large number of ships from the Orc Kingdom stayed here outside the city of Toot. The wharf was neatly built, all paved with marble and divided into several steps. It was extremely atmospheric. This place was not only a wharf, but also a market.
After these unloading, a large number of merchant ships could immediately start trading here. Many civilians and nobles from Tote City also came here to buy some fresh things from afar.
However, in the past, the Tutan Dynasty has also begun to sell all kinds of unique things to the outside world, such as easy-to-use glass lamps, beautiful colored glass crafts, telescopes necessary for navigation, exquisite compass and pocket watches that can determine time anytime and anywhere, etc., and there are more and more ways to do it.
Even the banned muskets and alchemy explosives can be purchased. Each one has set off a wave of fire on the Tutan Dynasty and the Alan continent, gaining the likes and welcomes everyone. Even if the price has soared to the extreme, there is still a shortage of supply.
These exquisite magical objects beyond ordinary people imagine were from the Akkad Alchemy Workshop in Tout City, a newly emerging workshop, which is said to be built by an alchemist named Akkad from the Western world.
Every thing marked with the Akkad Alchemy Workshop can be sold at a high price on the market. In the eyes of the Tutan Dynasty, Tut City, and merchants from all over the world, it is simply a river with gold coins flowing outward.
The Akkad Alchemy Workshop is built in the north of the city of Toot. Next to the Ryan River, there is a six-story round tower, which is the Akkad Alchemy Workshop. The third floor below is the Alchemy Workshop, and the upper floor above is the Akkad Alchemy Academy.
This classroom was originally just used by Akkad to live and train apprentices by alchemists. As more and more students enrolled, apprentices who came here continued to flock here and gradually became the birthplace of alchemists. A large number of alchemists entered here to learn the highest level of alchemists and became an alchemist.
No matter who approaches here, he will notice this round tower at a glance, because it is inclined. The entire round tower stands on the banks of the Ryan River, tilted as if it is about to fall, but it always stands here. At first, most people did not understand why the alchemist Akkad, the owner of the alchemist, wanted to build such a leaning tower.
Until the day when the Leaning Tower was successfully built, the alchemist Akkad threw two shot puts of different weights on the Leaning Tower at the same time, but landed at the same time, shocking the people in the entire city of Toot. Akkad stood in front of the Leaning Tower and told everyone.
"This is the alchemist, discovering the mystery of the world and applying it, this is knowledge."
"Alchemists will create various alchemy items that will bring more convenient access to people. Knowledge will change the world, change everyone, and bring happiness to everyone."
Until now, this scene has been constantly mentioned in the city and is full of discussion. Akkad's reputation has spread throughout the Tutan Dynasty. Even the king and the city lords of various city states often pay homage to the alchemist Akkad. Akkad, who has only been in the Tutan Dynasty for a few years, has become an important figure in the Tutan City.
At this moment, above the Leaning Tower, Akkad was teaching young apprentices. Hundreds of people sat upright, each with textbooks and various experimental tools in front of each table. Among these hundreds of apprentices, there were less than ten people who truly had the power to become wizards and meditate and awaken their mental power.
Most people just go here to take classes, and then learn some alchemy knowledge, learn mathematics, chemistry and drawing drawings, be able to burn glass, make fertilizers, know how to smel iron tools, make simple clocks and other techniques.
After graduation, they may become craftsmen, pharmacists, or artists, or become well-known weapons manufacturing experts. Even the most ordinary apprentice can bring huge changes to the world.
"I hope that being an alchemist will bring you more than honor and money. What I want you to know is how to benefit the world, how to change the world, and use the knowledge I have taught you to bring light to mankind."
"I believe that you will change the whole world, and you will be the future and hope of the whole world."
Akkade is even older than a few years ago, and his hair turns a little gray. After he failed to advance to level 4 a few years ago, he seemed to have finally seen through something or understood the world.
Akkad came to Tout City, established an alchemy workshop and an alchemy academy, and began to teach the alchemy he studied, without limiting whether he had the qualifications of a wizard. Even ordinary people, as long as they have the intention and efforts of progress, Akkad was willing to impart knowledge to them.
"Teacher, someone below said he wanted to see you, and said he knew you!"
As soon as Akkad finished teaching the students, he walked out the door and saw his student Marina stopping him. Compared to a few years ago, Marina became more beautiful, and she didn't even have freckles on her face. On the contrary, Akkad was getting old.
"What's his name?"
Many people want to pay homage to Akkad every day. Since Marina said it herself, there must be something different.
"Well, he seems to be a wizard, and he is called Anthony."
Akkad was stunned for a moment and looked at Marina blankly: "What did he say he is called?"
Marina didn't understand what was strange about this name, but when she saw Akkad so excited, she stuttered for a moment and said, "An...Anthony!"
Akkad saw Lu Zhiyu in the hall downstairs. Decades have passed. When Akkad saw his mentor again, he couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes. He rushed to the front excitedly and hugged Lu Zhiyu.
"Teacher Anthony, you actually came to see me!"
Seeing Akkad as excited as a child, Marina, who was following Akkad, opened her mouth wide and was even more at a loss when she heard what he said. Looking at Lu Zhiyu, who was a little too young and looked like she was, she said in shock: "Teacher?"
Lu Zhiyu patted Akkad on the shoulder and felt a little emotional. A hundred years ago, when Akkad came to report on the Wizard Tower, he was still a thin and pale boy. He spoke introverted but not good at socializing with others. Now, he is old.
Lu Zhiyu patted Akkad on the back, let go and looked at the round tower, and said with a smile: "I told you the story of the Leaning Tower and the free fall experiment. I didn't expect that you still remember that you actually built this Leaning Tower."
Akkad nodded: "I will never forget every class you taught me, and even the vivid experiment you did for me. Even after so many years, the details of that year and every word you said are still in my mind."
Lu Zhiyu glanced at Akkad and his gray hair: "Failed?"
Akkad nodded: "Well, I failed, and there were serious mental sequelae. But I have been satisfied to survive. I have lived for more than a hundred years. Pole, Uruk, Levith, Henry, they are all dead, and I am still alive, and there is nothing else to be satisfied with."
Seeing Lu Zhiyu's eyes become a little complicated, Akkad suddenly burst into laughter: "I'm still energetic, and it's okay to live for another decade."
Lu Zhiyu and Akkad walked upstairs together. Akkad talked about his experiences over the years and some of his plans: "I always want to leave something, just like Boer left his own bloodline witchcraft, I will also leave my alchemy."
Lu Zhiyu looked at some of the apprentices in the round tower, and the graduates who were making alchemy items on the lower floors, most of whom were ordinary people, nodded: "
It looks like you're doing a good job.”
Akkad said: "I think that compared to wizards, perhaps these ordinary alchemists can bring greater changes to the world."
"Wizards with powerful power always pursue immortality and strength, and use knowledge to pursue immortality. No one thought that using knowledge to bring future and light to ordinary people, including me who used to be lost in it. Perhaps the approach of death has gradually made me awake and return to our original thoughts and wishes."
"We first generation of wizards, including me and Boer, and even Levitra and Henry, always thought that wizards were the future of the world, but as we gradually grew old and died, we found that the world did not develop as we imagined."
"We are wrong. The wizards don't bring light to the world, they only bring harm and disaster. Perhaps these young alchemists can bring happiness to mankind. By the way, I also accepted a few students, but they did not teach them the lethal witchcraft, but specialized in alchemy, or mechanical alchemy, or potion alchemy."
Lu Zhiyu listened to Akkad's words and looked at Akkad's wise and bright eyes, and suddenly felt a little shocked. Just as Akkad said, it was not just him who was lost in the pursuit of power, and is Lu Zhiyu the same?
"When did my mentality begin to change, and I no longer regard these ordinary people as my own kind. When did I start to look up to all living beings with a high point? When did I feel that all living beings are like ants?"
Lu Zhiyu looked at some vibrant alchemists and nodded: "Knowledge should not have a threshold. The current wizards are too closed, and they gradually isolated themselves from the world."
