The alchemy area is just behind the Hero Hotel. It is a place shrouded in bright light. I already know that it is the light of arcane magic, which is dazzling even in broad daylight.
Selin carefully carried a large bag with many bottles in it, clinking.
He brought me here, and oh, of course, the big bag was taken off Mr. Luke's carriage.
I finally figured out that what his boss asked him to do here was really a "simple" thing. He had to help Luke's fleet unload the cars and then deliver the goods to the customers.

The floor of the alchemy area is completely different from the square tiles of the market. It is paved with stones. The stones are colorfully dyed with mottled and disorderly colors. At a glance, the whole street looks magical and beautiful.
"Oh, are these gems?" I asked, kicking the stones under my feet.
"No, Miss Messiah, they are just ordinary stones, dyed with drugs." Selin replied with a smile. As he spoke, he pursed his lips and motioned me to look to the right, "Look, that's a refinery." The green color on the ground in the workshop where the active agent is made is because the stones have been soaked in a potion containing a large amount of malachite for a long time; and the red ones, yes, that is the door of the workshop in front, are caused by the magic flowing out of it. The waste slurry of the Imperial Grass is dyed red; as for those, that large piece of blue shining with light, it should be made from the waste residue after purifying the Dream Leaf Grass slurry, you should stay away, that kind of herb will make People become sleepy and even faint.”
Sure enough, the mages who were coming and going all chose to go around or pass by in a flash.
"You seem to know a lot about alchemy." I admired sincerely. As I said that, I turned my head and looked at Knight Xi. Suddenly, I noticed the beads of sweat running down his forehead. The sweat wetted his silver-white hair, one after another, and slid down the strong curves of his profile, hanging on his chin. When the sun illuminated it, it turned out to be as colorful as the pebbles on the ground. , "Squat down a little." I pulled his cuffs and said.
"Huh?" Selin was stunned, but he still bent his legs as he was told.
I quickly wiped him with my fingertips. The moment the skin touched, I felt him tremble slightly and his face turned red suspiciously.
He looked at me, his eyes flashing in the bright sunlight, like the dazzling waves in the turquoise lake. That kind of bright light made me suddenly feel that my face was a little hot, and my heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
"Aww! Sir Knight, Miss! I've seen it all!" At that moment, a slightly thick boy's voice came from the shop next to us, a little... cunning.
The sudden sound made me take a breath and immediately retracted my hand. Turning my head, I saw the boy with brown hair and eyes. I remember his name was Lafayette.
"Don't make trouble, Lafayette." Selin coughed twice behind me, "I brought the powder."
Lafayette immediately got out of the way, "Move here quickly. You didn't deliver it as promised yesterday, and Teacher Wendell was mad." As he said that, he winked at me again.
I covered my hot cheeks and winked at him, and he grinned silently.

I've been to Alexander's alchemy workshop, and it's completely different from the one in Dalaran.
For the first time, I saw three or four magic circles rotating at high speed. They were buzzing and seemed to explode at any time!
But once the operation reaches the limit, those winding lines will suddenly bloom with the most dazzling purple light. Those potions placed in the center of the magic circle that bubble violently or burn violently will often uncork the bottles at this moment, and then, As the gradually extinguished magic circle gradually calmed down. They usually turn into other colors and usually have a metallic sheen.
oh! It was... thrilling.
"What is that?" I asked, pointing to a large pile of bluish-gray powder emitting white smoke.
Selin, who was busy classifying the drops, looked back and told me very proudly, "That's blinding powder, Miss Messiah, be careful not to get it in your eyes, it will cause temporary blindness."
*
"Bring the ghost mushroom powder over here! Lord Knight!" Just as I was looking at the bright glassware, a cry came from the innermost part of the workshop.
Following the sound, I saw a short dwarf with his back to us. He was wearing a purple robe and a pointed wizard hat that was almost half his height.
"They want blinding powder, they want invisibility potion, they want healing potion, they want recovery bandages... They simply want this workshop and do it themselves!"
"That's my teacher, master alchemist Wendell Sparks. He presides over this workshop." Lafayette whispered to me quietly, "He got up early in the morning because he had to rush work today, so he was in a bad mood. .”
"It sounds like...even if he's in a bad mood, he can't finish it."
"Who says it isn't?"
"Lafayette!" Wendell shouted there again, his tone full of anger.
"Oh! Here!"
"Go get the Philosopher's Stone! Be careful! It's very, very, very valuable!"
"OK!"
"Catherine!" He raised his head and shouted towards the second floor. A girl with freckles showed her head on the stairs.
"teacher?!"
"Come down and guard the circle!"
"I'm cleaning the dishes..."
"Let go of those poor vessels!"
"yes!"
Ill temper!
I couldn't help but curl my lips at the back figure, and at that moment, the bad-tempered alchemist turned his head. At that moment, when our eyes met, we were both stunned for a moment.
"It's you?!" we said in unison.
*
Who would have thought that the owner of this alchemy workshop would be the dwarf mage who turned me into a sheep yesterday? !
"Ms. Brick... what do you want to do when you come to my workshop?" His face grew longer, and he clenched the magic wand in his hand. "How many bricks did you bring here?"
"Uh, Mr. Wendell, I think you must have misunderstood Miss Messiah." Seeing that the form was wrong, Selin immediately put down what he was holding and stood between us.
"There is no misunderstanding between us. I believe what I saw!"
"Oh!" I grabbed the knight's arm, "So, what do you think I'm doing here?" As I said that, I couldn't help but grit my teeth, "I think you still owe me an apology. !”
Wendell was stunned, but he still had a stubborn face, "I just wanted to protect my daughter. Who knows what you wanted to do at that time?"
"'I just want to protect my daughter.' How can you find a worse reason to explain why you...have offended me?"
"I don't allow anyone to harm my daughter! Moreover, you delayed the progress of my workshop with something as stupid as 'rescuing Mr. Luke who was turned into a lamb'. I think it's you who owe me an apology!"
ha! I was so furious, "You are as unreasonable as the greenskins imprisoned in Durnholde Castle! Who is more important?! The progress of your damn workshop or Mr. Luke's life?!"
"So, in the end, you saved Mr. Luke?! You just scared my poor little girl and gave her a fever all night! And now, you're in my workshop yelling at me I swear to the God of Magic, if you dare to cause trouble in my workshop again, I will turn you into a sheep and send you to the slaughterhouse!"
Damn it!
I must beat him!
I picked up the crystal bottle at hand and said, "Let's try it!"
"Hey! Miss Messiah! Miss Messiah!" Selin's face changed drastically and he grabbed my shoulder.
"Oh! Put down my crystal bottle quickly!" Wendell's face changed drastically, his eyes widened and he screamed. He raised his hand, and suddenly, the arcane purple light in his palm began to loom!
"Don't! Master Wendell!" Selin was sweating profusely, and he suddenly lifted me up.
The world turned upside down in an instant and I exclaimed, "Selin!"
"Let's get to the next place quickly! There's still a lot to do!"
"Let me go!" I struggled desperately, but Selin's strength was so strong that I couldn't break free. "Let me go! I will knock out his front teeth! Otherwise, I will be angry with you! "
"I beg you to forgive me, Miss!"
*
Lafayette has already arrived at the door. It seems that he has been waiting at the door with his mouth open for a long time. At least when Selin resisted me, he was still in a sluggish state with his mouth open.
But at that moment, I suddenly saw a gray mist behind him, and a stick as thick as my arm appeared out of thin air, and the next second, it hit Lafayette hard on the head.
"Lafayette!" I couldn't help but exclaim.
boom
The muffled sound of the stick made me wince, and then I saw a line of blood flowing from Lafayette's forehead. The poor alchemist apprentice groaned, shook for a moment, and then collapsed weakly. The Philosopher's Stone in his hand rolled to the side, and was picked up by a hand that appeared out of thin air!
The whole process takes no more than two seconds.
Two seconds ago, I was shouting over Selin's shoulder. Two seconds later, I jumped off the shocked Selin's shoulder.
The crystal bottle spun in my hand, and in the next second, I threw it hard towards the gray mist that was trying to leave, "Stop!"
boom
The crystal bottle cracked into pieces, and sharp fragments flew everywhere!
When several passing mages saw this, they threw dazzling arcane light balls in that direction, and in an instant, everything was bright.
I heard the gray fog hissing, and then it flew to the roadside like a sharp arrow, and soon disappeared without a trace.
*
The stick injured Lafayette seriously. "He may lose sight in his left eye." The doctor said regretfully when he left.
I also saw that when the doctor opened the poor child's eyelids, the entire eyeball of his left eye was red and swollen, with purple blood clots on it. The only thing they can do now is to put honeysuckle and Ningshenhua The powder was applied to his eyes to make him less painful. Moreover, his right hand has been shaking and he can't stop it.
He kept crying, and mucus continued to ooze from his left eye, "Doctor... I don't want to go blind... Please..."
"Come on, good boy, drink this, yes." The doctor gave him a cup of poppy milk with a fishy smell, and let him fall into a deep sleep.
*
There is a small room with a golden magic chandelier hanging on the second floor of Wendell's workshop. At this moment, only Selin, Wendell, me, and...I never imagined that the Spire of Dalaran was sent to understand the situation. It turned out to be a face I recognized.
Darion Mograine.
God knows what he's eaten in the past few years, but he's grown so tall. If he stood up straighter, he might be able to catch up with Ricky. His hair is golden and very soft, and a magical breeze can make all his hair fly.
His face was not as tough as Lord Mograine, but soft, like a girl's. I don't like the smile on the corner of his mouth, and I don't like the way his eyes are shining when he smiles at me, which is a little twitchy.
He asked everyone present about the situation in detail, and carefully recorded every word we said. After finishing that, he closed the black leather notepad in his hand and bowed to us respectfully.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation. The Holy Light will bless you." As he said that, he smiled and nodded at me, "Messiah, do you still remember me?"
I saw the scar at the corner of his mouth, which I left him with a wooden sword a few years ago. I looked at other places, "Well, you are exactly the same as you were a few years ago, Dallion."
His smile grew wider.
*
"Oh! My God! Where is my poor Lafayette?!" Just when Darien was about to turn around, a shrill female voice came from downstairs. I lay on the armrest and glanced down. I found that I was seeing another face that I knew but didn't like, Mrs. Miller.
*
"He's going to be fine, right?" That was the first thing Mrs. Miller said after seeing Lafayette with tears on her face.
"Except for his left eye." Wendell replied, and he pointed with his magic wand, and the magic lights in the entire room lit up.
"...Oh my god, half of his face is purple..." Mrs. Miller wiped her eyes and looked at Lafayette carefully for a while, "Master, you can become an alchemist without a left eye, right? "
That sentence stunned me, and also Wendel. "It's not impossible." The alchemist replied.
The corners of Mrs. Miller's mouth curled up, but she turned back after Wendell half-sentenced.
"But it's difficult," Wendell said. "Before that, we have to heal his injury. You see, his fingers are not working properly. I guess it will take a long time to recover. Oh, by the way, you We need to prepare a prosthetic eyeball for him first, he will need it."
"Holy Light, are you kidding me?!" Mrs. Miller screamed, pointing at Lafayette, "I spent so much money for him to come here to learn alchemy, and paid for his food and accommodation, but in the end, He can’t learn, so I still have to pay him for a fake eyeball?! Don’t you know how many gold coins a fake eyeball costs?!”
oh! I immediately wanted to walk over, but two hands held my right arm firmly. One is Selin's and the other is Darien's.
Selin seemed stunned for a moment, but Darien shook his head at me.
Wendell frowned in displeasure, "He is your nephew, isn't he?"
"That's right, he is my nephew, not my son!" Mrs. Miller glared at Wendell fiercely, then turned back and glared fiercely at Lafayette, "I won't pay the tuition anymore! Wait! Now that he can move, let him go back to Briar! He can never get another copper coin from me!" As she said that, she turned to leave, but was blocked by Wendell.
"Pay off last month's tuition!" The bad-tempered dwarf mage gritted his teeth, and the angry whirlpool of arcane magic roared around him.
