Chapter 2 The Shield Woman and the Philosopher's Stone (3)

Ella's hands and feet were tied, and she could only watch Dan mixing the potion.

She didn't have any special feelings about the discoloration of her hair. Although hair is a woman's second life, her blond hair was a direct reason for her encounter with the coup. Now it has been turned into tan. Rather than feeling

Angry, rather she felt a little lucky. Although it was a pity that her hair had become rough, but as a prisoner, it was nothing.

All her energy was focused on Dan's series of steps in mixing the potion. She had read many books on alchemy in the Wang family library. She always felt that Dan's series of steps were somewhat similar to what she saw in the books.

It was different. Some steps were rougher and more clumsy than those described in the book, and some steps were not mentioned at all in the book and seemed to have no meaning at all. But this was the first time she had seen the practice of alchemy.

Fuck, and the other party was also a member of the famous Hermetic School, so Ella just felt a little confused in her heart and did not dare to raise any questions.

Dan finally completed a series of steps. He blew out the fire in the small stove, and then poured all the unknown substances obtained through each step into a flask. He only heard Dan saying to himself: "Okay! This way,

In about fifteen days, the potion will be ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dan suddenly covered his head in pain: "Oh no! Fifteen days! How can I keep a girl intact among a group of savage pirates for fifteen days? I will send it to the King of Beasts tomorrow.

?No! Whenever this girl mentions hair, all my hair will be pulled out by the King of Beasts! How can I speed up the transformation of the substance in the bottle? I must speed up the reaction from the 15th to one night!

Hermes, please guide me! No, it really doesn’t work... It’s obviously the best opportunity to please the King of Beasts, so now we can only let her be abused by ordinary pirates?”

Ella heard some clues from Dan's words. So, she used an alchemical code to test: "Since we want to speed up, why not use 'sulfur water' to 'dye' them?"

"'Sulfur water'? You mean the Philosopher's Stone? Oh my god, what nonsense are you talking about! Do you know what kind of substance this is?" Dan vented his anger at Ella, "It accelerates the transformation of matter.

The secret medicine can even quickly transform base metals into gold! That is the ultimate goal that all alchemists pursue in their lives! However, the Tepui civilization, which has studied the philosopher's stone most deeply, disappeared two thousand years ago.

Some alchemical texts that were handed down and developed slightly later were also burned hundreds of years ago under the order of Basileus of the Seven Hills Empire at that time - just to stabilize the currency, the damn Seven Hills Empire destroyed alchemy! The only one

The document that has been circulated is the "Jade Record" preserved in the Library of Alexandria, which was the general outline for making the Philosopher's Stone. However, due to the attack of the Tianfang Empire, the Library of Alexandria was burned down due to war, and the "Jade Record" was lost!

Since then, no alchemist has been able to find the path to refine the Philosopher's Stone! Not even the intersection!"

Dan's words gave Ella a full understanding of the current situation of contemporary alchemists. She realized that this might be an excellent opportunity for her to get rid of her captive status.

"I may have seen the "Jade Record" you mentioned...it's in my bookcase at home."

"It's not a smart idea to tease an alchemist from the Hermetic School." Dan stared at Ella with his big eyes, "Since you've seen it, tell me, what kind of book is it? How many books is it?

Thick? What kind of paper is it written on? Which country's writing is it? Is the book cover red or brown? If you are wrong, I will use you as an alchemy material!"

"It's not a book... it's a jade plate... there are thirteen lines of characters on it, using the characters of the lost Tepui civilization..."

"It's the original text of "Jade Record"!" Dan jumped up excitedly. Then, he grabbed Ella's shoulders and shook her vigorously, "Tell me what's written on it, quickly!"

"If you would let me go free after I tell you."

Ella took the opportunity to make a condition.

Unexpectedly, Dan rejected Ella's request without thinking.

"You are my prisoner and you are not qualified to make conditions with me."

"Then you will never know the secret of "Jade Record" from me!"

Dan's expression suddenly became terrifying.

"You seem to have made a mistake. A doctor or an alchemist cannot be the leader of a team. The reason why I can lead a team is because I am a "natural" level magician. Of course, under the influence of He

The protection of Hermes."

People who are protected by Hermes can receive protection in communication, consciousness, wisdom, travel, theft, etc. After reaching the "natural" level or above, they even have the ability to steal other people's memories. Dan pressed his hand hard

On Ella's head. Ella only felt a wave of heat penetrate her skull and wander in her brain.

"In front of Hermes, there are no secrets in the world... Let me explore the depths of your memory... A jade stone slab, thirteen lines, Tepui's text, it is the real jade record, yes! Just let me

Come and admire the greatest wisdom in the world!"

Dan closed his eyes and looked up into the sky, as if he was really looking up at a huge stone slab.

"This is the unquestionable truth."

"The upper comes from the lower world, and the lower comes from the upper world. The creation of miracles comes from one, just as all things are born with one and ruled by one."

"Her father is the sun, and her mother is the moon. The wind nourishes her in her belly, and the earth nourishes her."





"It rises from the earth to the sky, and descends from the sky to the earth. In this way, it obtains the power of the highest and the lowest."

"In this way, you can gain the light of light and escape from darkness and ignorance."

"It can conquer all subtleties and penetrate all roughness."

"This is how the world was created, and it will be transformed in incredible ways. And this is the way."

"I am called the triple great Hermes, for I possess the wisdom of the three parts of the world."

"This is the great work of which I speak."

——"Three-fold great Hermes, your wisdom scares me!"

Dan suddenly shouted this and then opened his eyes.

"Do you know how to make a philosopher's stone?"

"No...this is just a general outline. But at least I have found the intersection of the road."

Dan slowly lowered his gaze and fell on Ella.

"Even though I have read the "Jade Jade Record", you can still talk to me in such a relaxed tone. You knew in advance that it was impossible to make a philosopher's stone with just a "Jade Jade Record", right?"

Ella turned her head to the side and ignored Dan's question.

"You can't deceive me who is protected by Hermes! I just saw many other records about the Philosopher's Stone in your memory. You have read about the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone, right!"

Ella still didn't speak.

"It will take a long time to read these records... No, I can't just throw you into that group of savage pirates. If your spirit is damaged, the knowledge in your memory may be missing!"

Seeing Dan's panic, Ella knew that her plan was successful. Before Dan successfully made the Philosopher's Stone, he would try to protect her. I don't know how long it would take for Dan to discover that the "Philosopher's Stone" was just deliberately created by Ella.

A pretense. In fact, after Ella read through the "Jade Record" and other alchemical records secretly stored in the royal library, she could not find a way to make a philosopher's stone at all.
