Chapter 224 The escaped princess, the lost bird(1/2)
Previously, Lu Yiming's sanity should have been close to full after completing tasks many times.
But the 85 points marked now mean that this alchemy performance cost him at least 15 points of San value.
What happens when San falls under inspiration?
Will he descend into madness?
Lu Yiming felt a little uneasy. He put away his character card and left from the high platform.
The white-haired old man announced downwards:
"Tonight, the Alchemy Tower provides unlimited drinks! Congratulations to the great master!"
"The master of the tower is wise! Congratulations to the great master!"
The alchemists' shouts in unison spread throughout the tower and even outside the tower.
The residents of the city cast their eyes on the brightly lit tower in confusion, wondering what happened to those weirdos who spent all day making potions today?
Under the awe-inspiring sight of everyone, Lu Yiming and the tower master walked towards the upper level, leaving the old alchemists behind to check the authenticity of the gold.
"It's really gold, and it's such a big piece of whole piece. The purity is infinitely close to 100%!"
It is simply impossible to fake and replace hundreds of kilograms of gold in full view of the public.
This also means that the Grand Master's gold refining skills are genuine.
Everyone was in a frenzy and very curious.
"Who is that young man?"
"What young man? You want to call him Grandmaster!"
"What kind of flame is that? Is it a flame given by God?"
That gorgeous blue flame lingers in their minds and cannot be forgotten for a long time.
Some alchemy apprentices and low-level alchemists are still suspicious, but they have no right to speak. In this fiery 'atmosphere', all they can do is shut their mouths and bask in the glory of the new grand master.
.
As time passed, news of the reappearance of the Grand Master spread throughout the royal city. Just two hours later, almost half of the people in the inner city knew that a new Grand Master of Alchemy was born.
After hundreds of years, the legend of the Grand Master and the Philosopher's Stone has once again entered people's perspective.
This matter was being discussed everywhere in taverns, squares, hotels, and custom streets.
Including the magnificent church and the ruined palace.
Inside the cathedral in the inner city.
The high priest dressed in red stood behind an antique screen, listening to the adopted son below reporting on his work. The more he listened, the more uncertain his expression became.
"So, I asked you to summon the smartest people in the royal city to investigate this palace incident, but you regarded them as wanted criminals?"
Lu Wei was trembling all over.
Through the screen, he could not see the face of his adopted father, and just hearing the voice made him tremble and uneasy.
People who wake up from this world do not have the original memories given to the characters by this world, and can only learn certain information from the narration and character cards.
But this is normal. Most role-playing games will not tell you the complete life of the characters. Some secrets need to be explored by the players themselves to be interesting.
Lu Wei knew that he was the adopted son of the great priest, but he didn't know the quality of the relationship between the two because there were only a few sentences on the character card.
What if you say the wrong thing and are burned on the stake?
After all, according to the existing information, this world is somewhat like the ancient and modern world of Xia Kingdom, a strange world where modern and modern Western worlds are mixed, and there are probably hangings and burnings.
"I can explain..."
Lu Wei still wanted to struggle, but the other person's next words made him tremble all over.
The high priest said solemnly: "You've done a great job!"
Done, send it.
Is this a prelude to questioning?
"Well done, I almost forgot. According to reliable clues, not all members of the royal family should have died. If those people are allowed to investigate, they might be able to find the member of the royal family who was hidden in the palace. In this case,
We won’t be able to take everything of the royal family under our control.”
Lu Wei was stunned.
What the hell?
Is this great priest plotting against the royal family?
Could it be that the tragic death of all the royal family in this city a few days ago was the work of this great priest? Afterwards, he pretended to ask people to investigate?
Lu Wei felt chilled.
I don’t know if my luck is good or bad. If I randomly stumble upon such a character, I might be treated as a loser at any time, right?
The high priest said: "I will give you a task. Find the member of the royal family hiding in the palace within three days!"
"Yes!" Lu Wei agreed subconsciously, and then asked: "But there is a group of silver-armored guards in the palace. They do not allow me to move freely in the palace. If I enter the area where the fire broke out, I will be warned by them and then kicked out directly.
Get out, they will really kill people."
"The Imperial Guards? They are indeed a problem."
The high priest said: "I will find a way to deal with the Imperial Guards. With the church's order, it shouldn't be difficult to let them leave the palace for a period of time. Do you have any questions?"
Lu Wei shook his head and said: "No more."
Too many words lead to mistakes.
What if this cheap adoptive father discovers that he is a fake?
When Lu Wei was about to leave, a priest walked in after reporting outside and presented a document.
The high priest took a look and murmured: "A new grand master was born in the Alchemy Tower? Is he a particularly young man?"
The Pope, the King, and the Grand Master are the three top figures in this royal city.
The pope represents the pinnacle of divine authority and inherits divine will.
The king represents the pinnacle of royal power and controls all living beings.
The last one is the great master whose existence itself represents a miracle.
Unlike popes and kings who can be passed down from generation to generation, Grand Master is the embodiment of miracles. Even if no one is promoted for hundreds of years, it is normal. However, once someone becomes Grand Master, he will become the supreme being in the alchemical world.
At present, the Pope is in seclusion and the king is dead. As the high priest, he was originally the most powerful person in this royal city.
At this juncture, a great master suddenly appeared, catching him by surprise.
Do you want to have an interview and confirm the authenticity of the great master?
What a joke, although the alchemists recognize the existence of God, it does not mean that they have a good impression of the church.
Figures like the Grand Master do not need recognition from the church.
Our own epic, do we need your approval?
The high priest stood behind the screen with a dark face.
I still need to meet him, but according to his status, he is not qualified.
If they met in a public place, he would have to bow to the great master, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Wait, you don’t have to go by yourself, just let the fishing saint who has nothing to do all day go.
In this way, you don't have to bow to the great master, but you can also show the attitude of the church.
Not bad, very good.
...
Noon on the second day.
In the secret room of the palace, Lilith anxiously said to the weak white-haired girl on the bed:
"Your Highness, you must leave as soon as possible! The priests of the church seem to have discovered traces of your existence. They summoned soldiers to conduct a carpet search in the palace!"
As the maid of Her Royal Highness, it is Lilith's duty to store food. When she went out this morning, she found many priests and followers rummaging around in the palace.
Those believers were like bandits, destroying the already empty palace and making it even more chaotic.
What does the church want to do?
What puzzled her was why the royal palace's Imperial Guards didn't take action to stop it?
They are the most loyal soldiers.
After inquiring, she learned that the Silver Guards Corps had been sent by the Church to carry out the mission of 'revenge'.
The target of revenge is naturally the terrifying thing that caused the fire in the royal city.
The few remaining guards were no match for so many believers, and they were imprisoned in minutes.
The posture of digging three feet into the ground is obviously looking for something.
