Anna finally escaped from the house arrest of the Island Republic, but ended up falling into the house arrest of Ella. Naturally, she was not in a good mood. She anxiously walked around the house, cursing Ella loudly every time she walked.
Pull a sentence.
"Despicable, shameless, snobbish, worse than a beast!"
Completely opposite to Anna's reaction, Dast sat firmly on a big chair and was concentrating on destroying several large dishes on the dining table. Such Dast made Anna very angry; "Dast"
Ste! You just ate the rice sent by your sister like this? Aren’t you afraid that the food is poisonous?”
"No, I'm eating vegetables."
Duster replied absentmindedly, and at the same time sprinkled pepper on a piece of steak the size of an axe.
"Dust!"
Anna yelled angrily, rushed forward, grabbed the fork from Dast's hand, and bent it. Dast looked up from the table in confusion. She couldn't figure out why Anna didn't let him eat from the table.
steak.
"Dust! Aren't you afraid that the food is poisonous?"
"It's impossible, isn't it? Aren't you going to be exchanged for a ransom? If you were poisoned, you wouldn't be cured until you were cured. And when she was about to use the poison, you said..."
"Ahhhhh!" Anna screamed, interrupting Dast's words, "That was then, and now is now! Dast, find a way to take me out quickly!"
"Run out? Isn't it necessary? Your sister just wants to exchange you for ransom. The Seven Hills Empire and the Island Republic are at war outside, and the bounty I earned in Azov City has been spent on your medical treatment. If you don't go home,
Your sister is the safest place here."
Seeing that Anna had no intention of taking the fork back, Dust naturally used his hands to tear the big steak in front of him.
"But sister, she wants to exchange me for ransom? In that case, wouldn't I be sent back to the Qiqiu Empire?"
"What's wrong? The Seven Hills Empire and the Island Republic are now at war. You don't have to marry Patisipachio's son."
"But I don't want to be sold for 200,000 Nomisma! That's my family's money, so I'll be heartbroken too, okay!"
Anna shouted loudly at Dust. But Dust was focused on chewing the steak in his hand. Seeing that Dust didn't look like he wanted to help, Anna anxiously circled the room again.
"This won't work! I have to find a way to escape, or convince my sister to let me go..."
"If you have a story worth 200,000 Nomisma, I'd really like to hear it... Huh? Why is this steak so burnt? Well, he is a pirate after all, and his craftsmanship is not comparable to that of the island republic's cooks..."
"Yes! I can make a deal with my sister!"
Ana clapped her hands, then ran to the door and knocked frantically.
"Open the door! Open the door! I have something to say to my sister! Let her come to see me!"
The pirates guarding the door did not embarrass Anna. They agreed and sent someone to find Ella. Dast, on the other hand, was surprised and wiped the pepper on his mouth and asked: "What are you going to do as a deal?"
?”
"The news about that doctor Paracelsus! Use it in exchange for my sister letting me out!"
Dast couldn't help but hold his forehead:
"Do your royal family have no idea about the amount of money? Can two hundred thousand Nomisma be exchanged for information about a doctor?"
…
…
"Where is Paracelsus? I'll let you go, tell me now!"
Ella immediately agreed to the deal proposed by Anna.
Dast couldn't help but pat his forehead - he never thought that Anna's sister must also be from the royal family.
But Ella did not agree because she had no concept of money as Dust thought. She might have been similar to Anna in the Seven Hills Empire, but after being in power in poor Sweden for so long, she was already extremely sensitive to money.
The reason why she agreed was because it was Paracelsus. Not to mention Paracelsus himself, even if it was just the method of making the dye, she was willing to exchange it for two hundred thousand Nomis horses—
—I don’t know how many lives that new drug can save. It cannot be compared with a noble’s ransom.
"Although I don't know the specific whereabouts of Paracelsus," Anna said, "I have heard many rumors that may be related to him."
Ella asked impatiently: "What rumors?"
"The teachers and students of Alchemy University were released early, and the island republic is relying on them to prepare something urgently. No one knows what they are making, only that a large amount of urine, wine, and seaweed ash are sent in every day
Alchemy University... But according to a drunken alchemist who spilled the beans, they have mastered the secret of the fire element and are using it to prepare some kind of weapon against the Seven Hills Empire fleet."
"Fire element?" Amy pricked up her ears, "I seem to have heard that Paracelsus was believed by alchemists to have mastered the fire element and was highly sought after... But based on this alone, I thought that there was someone behind it.
Paracelsus, that’s a bit unjustifiable.”
"There is another thing that everyone in the Island Republic knows." Anna added, "Just a few days ago, the Island Republic tested a flying instrument. In full view of the public, the instrument carried a
A chicken, a dog, and a sheep flew into the sky and landed on the ground after hovering in the sky for about twenty minutes. Only the chicken died, and the dog and sheep were safe."
"Flying instruments?" Amy became interested again, "Why did the chicken die? Was the wax on its wings melted by the sun?"
"It's not wings." Anna gestured with her hands to explain to Amy, "The flight instrument is a big round ball, with a manned frame hanging underneath. The ball is hollow. I heard people say that the reason why it can fly is
, because it does not contain ordinary air, but the lighter and pure air element itself. It is also one of the four elements. So I guess that the instrument was also made by an alchemist."
"Just because of this, it doesn't mean it's Paracelsus." Amy sighed, "However, I really want to see that instrument."
However, the words "air element" caught Ella's attention.
"I read Paracelsus's notes. She mentioned a gas lighter than air, which was produced by the separation of iron and sand. She mentioned at the end that it might be possible to use it to fly into the sky.
Could it be that the island republic claimed that it had not found Paracelsus, but in fact it was hiding Paracelsus itself?"
"In other words, Paracelsus is really still in the Island Republic?" Amy looked at Ella, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"The island republic will be defeated at any time, and it will be dangerous for Paracelsus to stay there - no, that's not right."
Ella shook her head and denied the first half of her sentence.
"I don't need this kind of excuse. Even if there is a war with the Island Republic, it doesn't matter. We must capture Paracelsus at any cost!"
