Chapter 249: Fake Alchemist (Part 2)
"Only an alchemist can design alchemy items and props!"
"Sorry, we only recruit alchemists!"
"Isn't an alchemist who wants to join us?"
Lars Brown suffered countless rolls of eyes in some military-industrial workshops and official research institutes, which made him fully understand the threshold of this world, but he was unwilling to go to those small workshops to be an ordinary master. Even with his knowledge, he could live a very comfortable life.
While conducting his own experiments, Lars searched for his sponsors everywhere and fooled them into sponsoring his experiments, saying that he was designing and improving their products for these small workshop owners, but he used their money to spend on his experiments.
Lars is studying a large-scale siege that can use the power of nature to drive industrial development, but it is a large-scale siege involving all aspects of knowledge, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct experiments.
Lars was able to use deception and deception to defraud his experiments and waste his time. After many years of 30 years of hard work, he still achieved nothing. Instead, he became notorious near the city of Tepheth, making him unable to survive in Tepheth.
Finally, in a small city far from Tepheth City, he found his big sponsor, a shipyard owner, who made some small and medium-sized merchant ships. Lars Brown pretended to be an alchemist and faked the badge of the formal alchemist. With his eloquence, he convinced the shipyard owner to invest in his alchemist manufacturing research.
He discovered the existence of steam for the first time and felt the power of steam, just like the wind and water power in nature. Lars Brown promised that he would create a new alchemy ship that could sail on the sea without the help of sails and wind.
"This is a ship that can definitely change the world, a real alchemy ship. It will replace all the old ships, making the sailing ships faster and more powerful!"
"Think about it, it can push larger ships forward, carry more cargo, and be faster at sea!"
"That time, think about it, the entire Shin City Confederacy will come to you to order ships, and you will become the owner of the largest shipbuilding workshop in the City Confederacy. Everyone will come here to see it, both at home and abroad!"
"And all this requires only a little investment now to gain an infinitely bright future!"
Lars Brown obtained the first big investment in his life, established his own experimental workshop, and used his knowledge and abilities. For the first time, he felt that his life was full of meaning. Even if he could not become an alchemist, he could still design alchemy objects that influence and shock the world.
However, a few months later, Lars Brown was discovered as an illusionist. Without any explanation, the owner of the shipbuilding workshop still arrested him, a liar, and the city-state sheriff sentenced him to half a year in prison.
After learning that he had cheated in the name of an alchemist, Akkad Alchemist Academy announced on campus that it deprived Lars Brown of his academic status. The infamous Lars Brown was awarded a title full of sarcasm. Lars Brown was awarded a sarcastic title.
After the six-month imprisonment life ended, amid a lot of ridicule and contemptuous eyes, Lars Brown left the area of Tepheth City-state in a down-and-out manner and returned to his hometown of Finnlett.
However, when he returned to his hometown, Lars Brown discovered that his parents had already passed away. After wandering outside for nearly twenty years, all he saw when he returned to his hometown were tombstones, empty houses, and disbanded watch workshops.
Everything changes with the passage of time. Time changes everything and takes away everything, allowing the proud and arrogant Lars to gradually get rid of the edges and corners, leaving only empty dreams.
Lars discovered that his affairs were also spreading in Finnlitter City. The circle of alchemists was very small. Everyone knew the reputation of the fake alchemist Lars. It was unexpected for Lars Brown to become famous in this way.
He lost everything, and Lars shed tears in his empty hometown, which made him feel unrest. He remembered what his father said to him when he left his hometown.
"The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper!"
Lars wandered around the empty room and attic, recalling the first half of his life, holding the portrait of his family portrait, sitting on the stairs crying and laughing.
"The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper!"
"Hahaha, my heart is higher than the sky, my life is thinner than paper!"
This proverb seems to be a portrayal of his life. His unwilling heart to be ordinary is always surging. He has a great dream to change the world. He yearns to become a legendary alchemist like Akkad and Marina. However, reality has given him a heavy blow. He cannot become an alchemist. He is just a fake alchemist.
"Hahahaha, Father, you're right!"
"But I'm really unwilling to accept it! I'm not willing to accept it! I'm so unwilling to accept it!"
"Why? Why is this happening? Why is fate so cruel? What's wrong with me wanting to be an alchemist!"
"Is it wrong to have a dream? Is it wrong to have a dream?"
Lars roared and roared wildly in the room. He felt despair. He was disappointed and painful. Finally, his eyes gradually lost their spirit. He decided to leave here again, give up everything, and go to the countryside to be an ordinary person.
At this time, a person he didn't expect knocked on the door of his hometown. His teenager enemy, the fat Mike, found him, but this time he did not come to laugh at him, but invited him to join his laboratory.
The mean fat Mike, who was a teenager, mocked the fat Mike who excluded Lars, but now he became mature and steady. He had become a formal alchemist, but Lars met him at this most down-and-out time, which made Lars at a loss and felt like he wanted to find a hole in the wall to drill in.
"If you are really so unwilling to give up, would you like to try again!"
"Come on, join my Alchemy Institute, we are working on a manufacturing project for hot air balloon boats!"
Lars looked at the fat Mike in disbelief: "Why? Why did you choose me? I'm just one..."
Lars said here, laughing terrified: "A fake alchemist, fake alchemist Lars!"
Fatty Mike nodded and said, "I know, but so what? Even if you are not an alchemist, your intelligence and wisdom will not be covered up!"
"I believe in you, Lars! Trust me, I know you better than anyone else!"
Fatty Mike's words brought great turning and changes to Lars' life, making the dark sky full of light.
They sat together, talking about some crazy things in their youth and childhood, accusing and canceling each other. The jealousy and hatred of those years seemed to have become precious memories at this moment.
