The alchemy of life

Rudra Town, a city named after the name of the dragon, can be said to be one of the most lively cities even in the country to which it belongs. Therefore, when tourists and passers-by account for a large proportion, there are also various hotels here.

From affordable to more expensive ones, everything is available. It can be said that almost every five or six minutes away, a hotel can be found that allows passers-by to stay... However, even in this case, the rooms still seem to be in short supply.

And this is obvious, on the first floor of most hotels, the full look of the taverns where people eat, it can be said that they may be a little late and even the location will not be left behind.

However, there is no need for Rorona and others to worry about this problem, because since he is the tenant of this hotel, it is very convenient to make reservations before lunch...

However, although that's what it said, when they went down to the tavern on the first floor, they could still notice a little strange - then there seemed to be a little more people than usual, and most of them sat around them, discussing a topic with the people around them with great enthusiasm, regardless of whether the other party knew each other or not.

But this is not what Rorona and the others care about. After all, it is extremely normal to hear strange things in such a public place... but the truth is about 10. After all, it has become a powerful dragon knight form like a Saiyan-like Saiyan-like figure.

It is completely exaggerated to another dimension. Therefore, even if something is true, it will be so exaggerated that even the person cannot recognize it. Then such topics can be just listened to as jokes.

So since that's the case, you can do it without any attention

However, although most people already appeared here for lunch, for Rorona and Simo, it was just breakfast, or breakfast and lunch together.

Although I asked me last night after the festival that I thought I had the blessing of having a guy like them, which made me have a grocery store open all day and purchased the supplies as scheduled, when they returned to the soft bed in the room, it was almost dawn.

"Hey, the takoyaki from the festival last night is so great, let's go again next week?" As soon as she sat down, Simo began to suggest to Rorona beside her, and at the same time stirred the broth in front of her with the spoon in her hand. Rather than playing, this guy was not satisfied with the festival last night, and he was rarely interested in the ordinary food in front of him.

"Hey? Is it really that interesting? As expected, I should have followed you out last night." Eve, who was standing beside him, said regretfully when she saw Simo's unfinished look.

"Ha? Stop kidding. We'll leave this town next week, right?" Rorona said with a frown. Although the festival is fun, it's not the first time she has experienced such a festival. It's the small town she lived in before... No, even most towns in this continent have such a custom.

If there is a difference, it is just a size, so she is not as expected of this as Simo and Eve.

"Hey? Then will there be such an interesting festival in the next town?" Simo said without jumping. After sighing regretfully, she immediately asked with hope.

"Ha...probably, according to the customs here, such festivals will probably last until the end of summer." Rorona touched her chin and thought about it, and said it.

But after hearing this answer that should have been very satisfactory, Simo suddenly fell silent... No, maybe it wasn't silence at this point, but she was shaking slightly at this moment, of course not because of fear, but just out of excitement and expectation.

There are many interesting things I have never seen before, and there are foods that have completely different flavors even the same food. It can be said that for Simo, the festival is probably a little worse than the favorite gold coins.

"Summer... I like it the most" said this with a trembling tone.

"Ha? I don't want to hear you say that even if you take a bath in magma, you won't feel hot. Summer is a very irritating season for humans." Rorona held her chin with one hand and said helplessly.

"Then we are still waiting? After finishing our meal, heading towards the next city." Simo suddenly said in a hurry, and then began to eat at the sea of ​​food on the table.

"Ha?" Rorona looked at the other party and sighed speechlessly. After a while of silence, she shook her head helplessly. OK OK, okay, there is no way for you, anyway, the supplies have been replenished."

Although there were inexplicable task prompts before and there seemed to be a black shadow passing by the window, I had already deliberately went out to buy supplies at night and walked around the entire city for a whole circle, but nothing was there.

And if there is really a stone of truth in this city, then you also have that one and have seen another one, then you should be able to feel its breath, that is the resonance between the stones of truth.

However, yesterday I deliberately wandered around the entire city, and nothing was paid attention to this...

Maybe it was because of the sensation... Rorona shook her head and threw the idea of ​​something that might be related to the task aside, intending to end the lunch and head to the next city, as Simo said.

"Well, I said...what is the place we are going to next?" Simo asked curiously.

"Well... if you go to Rorona's hometown, then the scenery in the next city is said to be very famous." Alicia, who noticed Simo's question, opened the travel guide with map function that she had purchased before, and said it seriously.

"Well... the scenery cannot be eaten as food." Simo immediately lay on the table in disappointment after hearing this.

"Hey, we're not filming a food show now..." Rorona, who was standing beside her, said helplessly.

But when he finished speaking, the conversation between the people beside him suddenly came to their ears. Although they were not interested in asking about the other party's topic, due to the full seats at this time, a few more tables were added in the tavern, making the two tables very close. It can be said that they could hear the degree of conversations next to them without concentration. That was completely impossible.

"Hello, have you heard of it?" Don't jump. A blue-haired man in his twenties, wearing an alchemist uniform, looked over 20, raised his head and drank the tea in his cup, and said it to his companion beside him.

"Hmm? You want to say that the guy Winnie sold fifty bottles of powerful replies to a prop shop that had expired?" He didn't skip the words. Under such a question, the red-haired man sitting opposite him responded in question, and was also wearing an alchemist uniform of the same style. It seems that if they were not from the same team, then at least they were in the same relationship.

"It is said that I lost 400 gold coins, right? I'm really unlucky. The powerful recovery potion is almost impossible to tell whether it's expired or expired. It's very short-save, so it would be easy for me to do it." He raised his head and drank the water in his hand, and the red-haired alchemist said this.

"But it's really a blessing that has not been purchased by the unlucky guy. If you continue to use it, it will cause the reverse effect of wound ulceration." He sighed and shook his head and said.

"Oh? Although I have heard of this a little, I didn't expect that I would lose so much? But what I want to say is not this. It seems that the alchemy creature that ran out last week attacked humans again." The blue-haired alchemist waved his hand and said it.

"Oh? It's been a week, haven't you caught that one yet? Rather than saying that the guy who made it is too indulgent, it's better to say that the Guards are too low this time, right? It's obvious that such things happened in about three days before, they will be caught in about three days." The red-haired alchemist said in confusion.

"No, it seems that this alchemy creature is quite capable of hiding, but the victim this time seems to be a thief, right?" The blue-haired alchemist touched his chin and said it in reminiscence.

Such a strange word "seems?" made the other party suddenly make a puzzled sound.

"Because when I arrived at the scene, I only left a few large pools of blood, and some leftover human leg bones and other bones that were difficult to swallow and digest... The thief's identity was confirmed only after the identity of the occupants there was found." He replied.

"Uh..." After hearing what he said, the other party started to cough with a puzzled dry cough, as if he was discussing such a topic because he was eating.

After a dry cough for a while, he finally gave up his plan to continue fighting with the half plate of fried rice on the table. He took the tissue beside him and wiped his mouth. He said in a relaxed tone that it turned out to be just a thief, that's true... After all, the slums are areas where the guards can hardly patrol and have no intention of patrolling, and the people there are no combat power."

"If it's just to fill your stomach, there is no better predation area than there. Does it seem like a carnivorous alchemy creature?" said lightly.

"But what I care most is, which guy lets such an obviously carnivorous alchemy walk around the city? If found out, I will go to the guillotine."

"And since it's a creature that has always been at risk, I have to worry about you... Although the guy living next to me is a great swordsman, and if I am attacked, he will undoubtedly help, but he seems to have to lose some important things." While the red-haired alchemist finished this passage worriedly, his eyes fell on the chrysanthemums placed on the vase aside as embellishment, with a little melancholy look.

"There is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back..."

“Yes.”

………………………………………………

Although the opposite table seemed to be just a conversation between two extremely ordinary alchemists, their topics could not help but arouse the curiosity of the girls at this table - alchemy creatures, which they had never seen before.

Perhaps such a person can only be considered rare in the Western Continent, but if it is on the continent where they have always been, it can only be described as never before. After all, the alchemy there is only for medical treatment and to satisfy some areas of daily life and combat.

As for this, I even got involved in the level of living things.

"Are you an alchemy creature..." Allen listened to the conversation at the table opposite and said in contemplation, and there was still unconcealed curiosity and concern in the deep words.

But curiosity is what the girls around him have, and the one who really makes substantial moves faster than him is his twins...

"Hey, Rorona, are you?" Eve suddenly supported her whole body from the table, and asked curiously at Rorona, who was at least a table separated from her.

"Ah?" After frowned at the other party's question, Rorona nodded and said it."

"Maybe in what you have always known, the alchemist is just an auxiliary profession like a blacksmith, making potions that can provide warriors with continuous combat. Occasionally, there will be some special attributes to the weapons to cope with sudden combat situations..." After taking a sip of tea, he continued to speak out.

"But here, it's not just this level."

"If fighting professions like warriors and magicians pursue the strongest power, then the alchemists here also pursue... it is not necessarily power, but another more subjective." As he said this, he paused, of course, that kind of person who chose to be an alchemist just for money is another matter."

"Our words, thinking about everything in this world...even the most mysterious life." As we said, we spread our hands and said it with a serious look on our face.

"Oh" Eve exclaimed with great praise, and her clear eyes seemed to have sparkled with little stars at this moment.

"It's probably... after the Alchemist union gets intermediate certification, it will usually start to choose the research direction at that time, probably specializing in the refining of alloys, used to make metal utensils, mechanical puppets, etc., or to develop various potions to strengthen the body or stimulate potential." Rorona said slowly, and at the same time stretched out two slender fingers.

But just finished speaking, and then he stretched out his third finger again. But what we are talking about here is just a relatively common option, but if one’s ambition is a very ambiguous…”

"So, in this third situation, there are various research directions - perhaps targeting the dead souls, or targeting the gods that may not exist, or even... even what his own survival represents - 'life' wants to understand."

"The human body is a well-known research topic located at the terminal of the alchemy life field." After saying this lightly, Rorona lowered her head disapprovingly and continued to fight the fried noodles in front of her.

After hearing this speech I had never heard before, Eve's curiosity became stronger and stronger. She supported herself from the table again, approaching Rorona, and asked with her eyes shining with bright light. So, which kind of Rorona do you belong to?"

"Cough..." Such a sudden question made Rorona cough due to accident, and then accidentally sorted out her out-of-cord appearance, and immediately raised her head and faced the girl who asked her such a question - it was really bad. Her eyes shining with her famously "curious" eyes were simply unable to refuse.

Or it doesn't make sense even if you refuse to answer, because the other party will definitely continue to pester and ask questions.

"...My words." Rorona replied stiffly as if she had encountered something unspeakable, and at the same time she pulled off a trace of noodles hanging on the corner of her mouth.

"I never seemed to think about this issue." Nah said it.

It can be said that even Rorona felt embarrassed at this time. If it were normal development, she would indeed consider this future volunteer issue when she was promoted to the sixth grade of the college... But the problem is that she was teleported to another continent because of helplessness.

In other words, have you dropped out of school? So should I tell them so straightforwardly, "Sorry, I stopped attending classes when I was in the second grade"?

But no matter what you think, I think Hoson Rorona thinks silently.

...Indeed, this guy didn't look like he would like other colleagues, and then tried hard to find a goal. Alan, who was standing beside him, looked at the girl who suddenly fell into silence, nodded in understanding, and put his hand on the other person's shoulder.

"Big / だ, the problem is definitely not hard. Rorona, who is sleeping in or teasing people, is Rorona." He said this and gave a thumbs up.

With this guy's "understanding" voice, Rorona was about to get angry, but another sound from the table opposite her stopped her movements and calmed down.

"But it is said that the guards who arrived at the scene last night had traces of suspected alchemy potion there..."
