"Sister, that despicable person!"
Anna finally escaped from the house arrest of the Island Republic, but ended up falling into the house arrest of Ella, so she was naturally not in a good mood. She walked anxiously around the house, cursing Ella loudly at each step.
"Despicable, shameless, snobbish, and worse than a beast!"
Completely opposite to Anna's reaction, Dust sat steadily on a big chair and was concentrating on destroying several large dishes on the dining table. Such Dast made Anna very angry; "Dast! You just ate the food sent by your sister like this? Aren't you afraid that the food is poisonous?"
"No, I'm eating vegetables."
Daxter answered absentmindedly and sprinkled pepper on a piece of steak the size of an axe.
"Dust!"
Anna shouted angrily, rushed forward, grabbed the fork from Dust's hand, and bent it. Daxter looked up from the table blankly. He couldn't figure out why Anna wouldn't let him eat the steak on the table.
"Dust! Aren't you afraid that the food is poisonous?"
"Isn't it possible? Aren't you going to be exchanged for a ransom? If you want to poison me, you won't be cured for a long time without treatment. And when she was about to use the poisonous medicine, you said..."
"Ahhhhh!" Anna screamed, interrupting Dast's words, "That was then, and now is now! Dast, find a way to take me out!"
"Run out? Isn't it necessary? Your sister just wants to exchange you for ransom. The Seven Hills Empire and the Island Republic are at war outside, and the bounty I earned in Azov City has been spent on your medical treatment. If you don't go home, Your sister’s place is the safest.”
Seeing that Anna had no intention of taking the fork back, Dust naturally used his hands to tear the big steak in front of him.
"But sister, she wants to exchange me for ransom? In that case, wouldn't I be sent back to the Qiqiu Empire?"
"What's wrong? The Seven Hills Empire and the Island Republic are now at war. You don't have to marry Patisipachio's son."
"But I don't want to be sold for 200,000 Nomisma! That's my family's money, so I'll be heartbroken too!"
Anna shouted loudly at Dust. But Duster was focused on chewing the steak in his hand. Seeing that Dust didn't look like he was going to help, Anna anxiously circled the room again.
"This won't work! I have to find a way to escape, or convince my sister to let me go..."
"If you have an argument worth 200,000 Nomisma, I really want to hear it... Huh? Why is this steak burnt? Well, he is a pirate after all, and his craftsmanship is not comparable to that of the cooks of the Island Republic..."
"Yes! I can make a deal with my sister!"
Ana clapped her hands, then ran to the door and knocked frantically.
"Open the door! Open the door! I have something to tell my sister! Let her come to see me!"
The pirates guarding the door did not embarrass Anna. They agreed and sent people to find Ella. Dast, on the other hand, wiped the pepper on his mouth in surprise and asked, "What are you going to trade for?"
"The news about that doctor Paracelsus! Use it in exchange for my sister letting me out!"
Dast couldn't help but hold his forehead:
"Do your royal family have no idea about the amount of money? Can two hundred thousand Nomisma be exchanged for information about a doctor?"
…
…
"Where is Paracelsus? I'll let you go, tell me now!"
Ella immediately agreed to the deal proposed by Anna.
Dast couldn't help but pat his forehead - he never thought that Anna's sister must also be from the royal family.
But Ella did not agree because she had no idea about money, as Dust thought. She may have been similar to Anna in the Seven Hills Empire, but after being in power in poor Sweden for so long, she has become extremely sensitive to money.
She agreed because it was Paracelsus. Not to mention Paracelsus himself, even if it was just the method of making the dye, she would be willing to exchange it for two hundred thousand Nomisma - that new drug can save many lives, not a noble The ransom can be compared.
"Although I don't know the specific whereabouts of Paracelsus," Anna said, "I have heard many rumors that may be related to him."
Ella asked impatiently: "What rumors?"
"The teachers and students of Alchemy University were released early, and the island republic is relying on them to prepare something urgently. No one knows what they are making, only that a large amount of urine, wine, and seaweed ash are sent in every day Alchemy University... But according to a drunken alchemist who spilled the beans, they have mastered the secret of the fire element and are using it to prepare some kind of weapon against the Seven Hills Empire fleet."
"Fire element?" Amy pricked up her ears, "I seem to have heard that Paracelsus was believed by alchemists to have mastered the fire element and was highly sought after... But based on this alone, I thought that there was someone behind it. Paracelsus, that’s a bit unjustifiable.”
"There is another thing that everyone in the Island Republic knows." Anna added, "Just a few days ago, the Island Republic tested a flying instrument. In full view of the public, the instrument carried a A chicken, a dog and a sheep flew into the sky and landed on the ground after hovering in the sky for about 20 minutes. Only the chicken died, the dog and the sheep were safe."
"Flying instruments?" Amy became interested again, "Why did the chicken die? Was the wax on its wings melted by the sun?"
"It's not wings." Anna gestured with her hands to explain to Amy, "The flight instrument is a big round ball, with a manned frame hanging underneath. The ball is hollow. I heard people say that the reason why it can fly , because what it contains is not ordinary air, but the lighter and pure air element itself. That is also one of the four elements. So I guess that the instrument was also made by an alchemist."
"Just like that, it doesn't mean it's Paracelsus." Amy sighed, "However, I really want to see that instrument."
However, the words "air element" caught Ella's attention.
"I read Paracelsus's notes. She mentioned a lighter-than-air gas produced by the separation of iron and iron, and she mentioned at the end that it might be possible to fly into the sky with it. Could it be that the Island Republic claimed that it had not found Paracelsus, but it actually hid Paracelsus itself?"
"In other words, Paracelsus is really still in the Island Republic?" Amy looked at Ella, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"The Island Republic will be defeated at any time, and it is dangerous for Paracelsus to stay there - no, that's not right."
Ella shook her head and denied the first half of her sentence.
"I don't need this kind of excuse. Even if there is a war with the Island Republic, it doesn't matter. We must capture Paracelsus at any cost!"
