Chapter 32 Confession and leniency
Phil was tied up and could not move, but his brain was running rapidly, and he wanted to try to get rid of his current predicament.
"The one who kidnapped me was President Horton. He tried his best to do this, probably not for ransom. I am not a rich man. If I kidnapped me, I can at most extort hundreds of gold coins. This amount of money can't solve the dilemma facing the Holden Chamber of Commerce now. So the Holden Chamber of Commerce shouldn't kidnap me to get money from me."
"Is it to avenge me? I made resin billiards, which did cause heavy losses to the Horton Chamber of Commerce and even risk bankruptcy. The Horton family is a descendant of criminals. It is not impossible to say that they killed me for revenge. But if it is just avenge, there is no need for them to set up a special trap. They can tie me up for a lot of effort and kill me directly."
"It seems that the Holden Chamber of Commerce should have some intentions. They kidnapped me to get something from me. Then the most likely one is the alchemy formula of resin. If it is really for the resin formula, it would be easy."
Thinking of this, Phil already had a way to escape. So Phil asked tentatively: "You kidnapped me just for money. Tell me, how much money do you want? I will write a letter myself to ask my servant to prepare the ransom."
"Money? Haha, you underestimate me too much. I really don't like your little money." President Horton shook his head: "It's not for money to catch you."
"As I expected, they were not for ransom." Phil's heart was much more at ease, but his face still showed a surprised expression: "You don't want money, what do you want?"
"Phil, I won't go around the circle with you anymore. The resin billiard you made will cause us to suffer heavy losses. This time, I invite you here for the alchemy formula of resin." President Horton said expressionlessly.
Peter beside him also said, "Phil, I advise you to hand over the resin alchemy formula as soon as possible, so as to avoid suffering from flesh and blood. Otherwise, we will be punished. At that time, I will make you unable to survive or die!"
"Okay, I said." Phil agreed very simply.
"I knew you wouldn't say it. It seems that you really didn't cry until you saw the coffin..." Peter said halfway through the lines he had prepared before, and then realized that Phil had no intention of resisting at all.
"Why did it happen? It's so easy? It's different from what is written in the novel! According to the routine in the novel, Phil should have cursed, saying that he was unwilling to hand over the formula when he was beaten to death, and then used various torture instruments. In the end, he couldn't stand the torture of torture. He had to recruit people?" Peter was a little confused. He didn't expect Phil to be so happy, and he didn't even have the feeling of resistance.
President Horton also seemed very surprised. He also thought Phil would never hand over the alchemy formula of resin, but he did not expect Phil to be "short in seconds".
Phil continued, "Didn't you kidnapped me just for the alchemy formula of resin? I can give the formula to you, but you have to put me in it too. It's not an exaggeration to trade the formula of resin for my freedom?"
"You really made me admire you. I thought it would take some effort to get the formula, but I didn't expect you to agree to hand over the formula." President Holden said.
"It's just a recipe, it's nothing compared to my life. If I want to replace it with you, I won't lose my life for a recipe." Phil said.
"I appreciate your honesty, well, I promise you that as long as you tell the recipe, I will let you go." President Horton took out the paper and pen and prepared to record the recipe.
Phil sorted out his thoughts and then spoke out a complete alchemy recipe.
What Phil is talking about is certainly not an alchemy formula for resin.
In order to verify the resin production process, Phil copied the alchemy experiment of "waste Phil". Due to the process, several failed samples appeared, and Phil also made special records.
Sample No. 13 is the most special. When this sample is first made, it is no different from normal resin materials, but it slowly softens over time. It can be pinched on the surface in about fifteen days, and after a month, it will become as soft as plasticine.
Phil couldn't figure out what exactly caused this phenomenon. Phil was just a half-baked in chemistry, and Phil was also a half-baked in alchemy, so he couldn't explain this phenomenon, and he didn't have the heart to study sample No. 13.
However, what Phil did not expect was that the failed process of sample No. 13 played a role at this time. Phil directly told President Horton about the failed alchemy formula.
Phil described the complete set of recipes. When President Horton opposite put down his pen, Phil then spoke: "The alchemy recipe has been told you, can you let me go now?"
"Don't worry, although I already have the recipe, how do I know that this recipe is true?" President Horton asked.
"You can find an alchemist to verify it." Phil said calmly.
Of course, Phil was not worried that President Horton would verify the formula, because when the No. 13 test sample was just made, it was no different from ordinary resin, and it would take more than ten days to soften it. President Horton would not spend more than ten days observing the changes in the test sample.
President Horton nodded in agreement: "You are right, of course I need to verify the authenticity of this recipe. Uncle, I will leave it to you next."
Behind President Horton, the old magician who had been silent and silent came over.
"I didn't expect you to bring an alchemist. It's okay, just verify it, the recipe I told you is definitely true." Phil said confidently, believing that even the experienced old magician could not find the flaws of the No. 13 test item.
The old magician's hoarse voice rang: "I am not an alchemist, nor can I do alchemy."
"You are not an alchemist, so how do you verify the authenticity of the alchemy formula?" Phil was a little confused.
The old magician smiled sinisterly and then slowly explained: "I don't need to verify the authenticity of the alchemy formula, I just need to verify whether what you said is the truth!"
At this time, President Horton next to him said, "I'll introduce you to my uncle, Andrew Horton, he is a great spiritual magician! You should know what the spiritual magician can do to you. You are just a junior magician. With your spiritual power, you will never lie in front of the spiritual magician!"
"It is rumored that Holden Chamber will have a great magician to support him, it should be you?" Phil said pretending to be calm, but a storm broke out in his heart.
As President Horton said, the junior magician has no way to lie in front of the great spiritual magician!
