Facing the oppression of the nobles, the real pain never lies in the body, but in the numb mind and the body that has long lost its soul.

Lu En laughed loudly because he saw a new soul, and was overjoyed. He cleared his doubts and set a firm path.

And Anji looked at the... adult in front of him who didn't know his name a little strangely.

In fact, she has always been uneasy in her heart. Although she talks big words, after all, her life and life are actually in the hands of the other party, and this adult... seems a little abnormal.

There may be some mental problems. I usually have a reserved and gentle look. Just now, I suddenly laughed so horribly. The way I looked at myself also changed, with scorching eyes... But I am not beautiful either. I even have no legs.

…

But his temperament suddenly changed.

It was as if the dust that had been covering his body had been cleared away. The reason why he felt this way was because Anji had experienced it before. When Feili's illness was cured, she could also feel it from her sister.

This kind of emotion.

She has had this talent since she was a child. She can subtly detect the emotions in other people's hearts, but she can only feel it a little bit when the other person's emotions are intense.

But today, this feeling seemed to be particularly intense. When the kind-hearted gentleman in front of me sang loudly, even though I couldn't understand what he was singing and it must be in another language, I could still feel the strong indignation and resistance inside.

The desire caused something in his body to move! He wanted to rush out.

This feeling was so uncomfortable that Anji couldn't help but twist her body, unable to move up or down.

Feili felt a little strange when she saw her sister like this. She thought she was uncomfortable somewhere. She lowered her head and asked softly: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lu En didn't care about the two little girls anymore, because at this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

After the knock on the door, before Lu En could say please come in, the door was pushed open.

It was as if there was no lock at all. It was pushed open easily, and a young man with a well-proportioned figure and a delicate appearance walked in. He had dark skin, big white teeth, and a bright and sunny smile. In Lu En's words, he looked like an Arab youth.

"Hey, I heard them say, your name is the King of Monsters?" The sunny young man raised his head and asked.

"Yes, it's me." Lu En replied.

As for Anji, there was a loud bang in her heart, as something ready to move burst out of her body! Some strong emotion rushed directly into her mind.

Both Lu En and the sunny young man noticed this, but before the other party could say anything more, Lu En stepped forward and gently closed the balcony door, and then he invited the young man to sit down in the middle of the living room of the hotel room.

"My name is Lieta. You must have heard of it, but I have only heard of you in the past half hour. I don't know what to call you?" Lieta smiled and showed his big white teeth, as if to a friend.

Facing Lu En relaxedly and smiling.

"Just call me Demon King." Lu En replied.

"Your hobbies are a bit strange, but you are lucky. That girl has awakened her skills and is very talented." Lieta took the lead in starting the conversation from a less important topic. He still seemed very relaxed and not at all restrained.

"Awakening? I prefer to call it, learning." Lu En leaned on the back of his chair and was not in a hurry to get into the topic.

"Indeed, studying is more appropriate! You are very insightful!" Lieta's eyes lit up.

He immediately said: "I heard that you are a magic 9 and have communicated with the Great Master on an equal footing. The Great Master is a very important learning experience in my life. I am happy to serve you, but I hope to learn from you."

Here you get what you deserve."

Lu En nodded: "What do you want? I believe you don't like ordinary gold coins."

And I don’t have any ordinary gold coins either. He added in his mind.

"I believe you must know that I am refining the holy bones. The military dog ​​who picked me up said that you are the only one in the entire empire who can help me get the materials for the holy bones at no cost." Lieta got to the point, his face

His smile faded a little.

"Before that, would you mind telling me... what the holy bones are?" Lu En knocked on the table: "I don't know much about alchemy, and I don't know much about this cutting-edge alchemical product."

"Of course, no problem. After all, you are very likely to become my sponsor, and you should be very knowledgeable and talented, so you should be able to understand." Lieta nodded.

Then, he began to explain: "First of all, we need to understand what heaven is. Of course, I am not talking about the essence of heaven. I am referring to the symbolic meaning of heaven in alchemy."

"The essence of alchemy is the transformation of matter. The original alchemy was born from the idea of ​​turning lead into gold. It was an attempt to transform one substance into another. Since then, we have understood that all things flow and life continues.

, water will turn into ice, and ore will turn into refined iron. Nature itself can accomplish such things. What we do is essentially catalysis. We speed up the passage of time and make a substance faster and more efficient.

into another substance, we can turn water into two different gases, turn wood into charcoal, and turn fuel into fire. This kind of thing will also happen in the natural environment, but it will take many years, and we only need

A few minutes."

"In the world model of traditional alchemy, heaven represents eternal matter, which is particularly special. In alchemy, which pursues the flow of all things and endless life, eternal matter is the ultimate in alchemical change.

The goal is an eternal one that does not interact with any existence. This substance is obtained through changes, but it is independent of everything and supreme. It is the only truth pursued by our generation and remains eternal in the changing world.

, this is the alchemical reference to 'Heaven'." Lieta explained to Lu En.

"However, during the eruption of magic technology six hundred years ago, the academic school headed by Grand Master Daedalus reformed alchemy and gave birth to the unprecedented alchemy 8. Of course, the master is dead and was blown up

Yes, but they overturned the traditional alchemical world model during their lifetime and believed that the eternal substance represented by the heaven is spirit."

"The Grand Master claims that heaven is a world of pure spirit, and that the unchanging substance pursued by alchemy is spirit." When Lieta said this, his eyes showed longing.

"This is counter-intuitive and counter-intuitive. Spirit itself is not material, so how can it become a part of alchemy's material transformation? But if you think about it carefully, it is correct!" Lieta said this and became excited.

There was even some dancing.

"Think about it! We ourselves are material. You, me, the two women outside, and everyone on the street are all material. No one can say that they are not. All living creatures are made of material.

As matter, we should be in the flow of matter, but we can generate thoughts, and then generate spirit from our thoughts!"

"This is the first point of eternal things. It comes from matter that can flow, but it does not change itself! This is decisive evidence, because spirit comes from us who are composed of matter, so spirit is made of matter.

Born in!"

"This argument directly allowed Master Walut to successfully advance to level 8 and become an unprecedented master of alchemy!"

"And from this, this leads to the second point! Only living matter, that is, us, can spirit be born from us! So what is life? In the process of change and flow, life participates

What kind of changes can a spirit be born from a pile of matter?!"

Then, he sat down regretfully and said in a very depressed tone: "So far, no one can come up with the answer. Some people say that it may be because of the birth of thinking. Thinking is the key to transforming matter into spirit, but how to refine pure thinking?

In particular, pure thinking that does not include any soul is still a technical problem. You probably don’t understand this, so I won’t go into more detail, because you don’t understand it anyway.”

Lu En nodded slightly, indicating that he really didn't quite understand.

Lieta raised his head again and said happily: "And the holy bones are my tool for refining pure thinking! As long as I refine a real holy bone, I can make it from the bones of the deceased church saints.

Extract the thoughts that still remain to this day, and learn the secret of converting matter into thoughts and then into spirit! Putting the last brick on the magnificent tower of alchemy! I can artificially condense spirit through matter, generate a large amount of spirit, and construct

As we all know, as long as the density is increased, the subtle matter can be condensed into a solid and create a substantial spirit. Through this, I can even forge an artificial heaven! With this, I can be promoted to level 8. If everything goes well

, I may even become the world's first alchemy level 9 in history! Master all the mysteries of alchemy! I can complete the miracle of turning stone into gold with the wave of my hand!"

"And all this is very simple. I only need you to provide me with materials, and I will work for you during this period. I will not delay your work because of my research, just like what I did for those nobles, regardless of

Whether it is refining a colorless and odorless poison that can poison your brothers and sisters, or a magical oil that can make people strong and not fade away overnight, or an elixir that makes you more attractive at banquets, I am definitely better than those

The charlatan does a better job, and the child is innocent."

"And if you are more pursuing, I also have other things. Not to mention the magic potion for longevity, I am also a little bit of a long-range curse to kill. I can't get the magic equipment for self-defense for the time being, because I don't have the craftsman level, but I can make amulets.

, and I can also plan murders and thefts. I used this method to sneak into Havar and attack the saint. I also stole the remains of a saint, which will definitely be of great help to you." Lieta began to promote himself.

"It's not necessary, have you forgotten? I am Magic 9. I can make simple potions and magic equipment myself. I don't need it for self-defense. The constant accidental spell on my body can definitely save my life." Lu En interrupted.

In addition to his boasting, he also put forward his own conditions.

"First, I need you to build a puppet prosthetic for me. What you see are the two children outside. Of course, you can figure out the materials yourself."

"Huh?" Lieta showed an incredulous expression: "This is the first time I have met an employer like you. Other nobles are very good at managing materials. If you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass, right?"

"Of course I will give you grass. What I will give you is more things. I will help you get the materials for the holy bones. Moreover, I will give you more. Of course, what I want you to do is not only

Just those things like sneaking around and getting into bed and driving." Lu En crossed his arms and said straightforwardly: "I will give you Daedalus' account."

As soon as these words came out, Lieta's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"What...did you just say?" he asked Lu En. He heard it clearly and would not forget it, but he still suspected that he heard it wrong.

"In contrast to Daedalus's research handbook and the materials of the holy bones, I want you to leave the empire and join me. Of course, I will not actually impose any restrictions on you. You can leave if you want.

Let's go, as long as you think it's a good deal." Lu En spread his hands.

"What else surprises me? What do you need me to do for all this? It's not something insignificant like leaving the empire. You and I both know that it doesn't matter at all." Lieta didn't feel that the king of monsters in front of him was.

Just kidding, the other party will not joke at this time. This is a very serious negotiation, and only the bargaining chips that can be brought forward will be discussed here.

"No, it makes sense." Lu En said.

Originally, he didn't actually have that much trust in this sudden alchemist, and he just wanted to find someone to make prosthetic limbs for the Anji sisters. But when he saw that the other party dared to dig up the church's grave for the holy remains, he came up with this idea.

.

People in this world have fear and respect for the church engraved in their bones, and the fact that this kind of person can suppress this fear shows that his pursuit of alchemy is above all else, and he will pay anything for it, including his life.

"Okay, okay, if you say it's important, then it's important. I don't care. Besides, what else do you want me to do? Come on, tell me." Lieta was very impatient. He knew that the other party had fired.

A price he couldn't refuse.

No researcher in the world could refuse the Grand Master's handbook, and the materials for the holy bones were also what he had dreamed of. In comparison, producing the materials to make two people's puppet prostheses was almost free of charge.

"It's very simple. I want you to do research and development. Don't do things that can only be made by masters like you. I know that most of you do this. What I want you to do can be made by ordinary craftsmen.

Alchemy equipment." Lu En held out a finger.

This world doesn't care about the lower class. The nobles' things are all more expensive, stronger, and more exquisite, the better. They want every piece to be unique, so they disdain cement and don't care about blast furnaces.

To the nobles, mass products are as meaningless as the lives of the lower classes.
