Chapter 1: The Queen (4)

"Unrespectful people!" Amy waved her hand, and a wall of fire suddenly rose from the ground, separating Ella and the group of foreigners. "Guards! Throw these ignorant guys out of the window!"

"There is no need to be so angry." Ella signaled Amy to extinguish the fire, then stared straight at the general, "Let down your spear unless you want the warrior behind you to die here in vain!"

After a moment of silence, the general slowly put down the short spear in his hand.

"The weather here is cold and it's not suitable for you to stay." Ella said, "You go elsewhere."

"A foolish decision, you have the opportunity to be allies of the Sun King." The messenger responded, "The Sun King controls wealth and land that you cannot imagine. The countless nations who are loyal to him have gathered their most elite troops on the coast. The entire continent under your feet will soon surrender to the power of the Sun King!"

"A dreamlike intimidation." Ella waved her hand to drive people away, "Go back and tell you that Sun King, there is no place for him to live in this continent!"

The outsiders went out cursing and cursing under the pressure of soldiers. Seeing that there was no one in the palace, Ella couldn't help but shout: "Why are there such a stupid barbarian? It's a waste of my time! Amy, have you seen the things in that box? No matter how poor you are, you can't catch a few birds and pull out their feathers and use them as money!"

"This time I have the same opinion as your Majesty," said Amy. "They also packed the beans in boxes...it's probably just a group of farmers who have never seen the world."

"In the end, there is no money to make." Ella scratched her hair irritably, "Or what if I really lead my troops to grab some money?"

"Your Majesty, Alfred of Britain is our ally. The Almany Federation has signed a trade agreement with us. The tribes on the prairie in the east are poorer than us. If your Majesty wants to go out to rob, we can only bypass the Strait of Gibraltar to rob the Mediterranean coast, or by boating in the dry land of Hestein to the Seven Hills Empire... But is your Majesty really going to do this?"

"Think about it carefully, it still won't work! Those places are either the Qiqiu Empire or the homeland where the Qiqiu Empire falls. If I take the people from the Pirate Kingdom to rob the place, what else can I have to say that I am Barcelona!"

"I have a suggestion that Your Majesty can use the knowledge of alchemy..."

Amy remembers that Ella had executed a nobleman who made fake gold coins in the Qiqiu Empire, and that formula should still be remembered in her mind. Although Ella was very angry at that time, she cut the nobleman who made fake gold coins into pieces, under the pressure of life, Ella might really agree to make fake coins.

"No! How could I be that powerful?" Ella wailed, "It's a very profound discipline to turn base metal into gold!!!"

Amy sighed. She didn't expect that her Majesty was full of real gold, and she didn't consider the option of counterfeiting coins.

"I know nothing about alchemy... But when His Majesty said this, I remember a story I heard from the street not long ago. This story was brought by a group of merchants who came to Gotland to do trade, about the alchemy university in the Island Republic."

Countries around the world have different attitudes towards alchemy: for example, in the Seven Hill Empire, alchemy was completely banned, and related documents were burned, leaving only some banned library originally enclosed in the Wang Family Library, only royal members like Ella are qualified to read; in the Almani Federation, alchemy was discriminated against but not illegal, Habiba was at Dietmashen to study how to convert feces into gold; as for the Island Republic, alchemy was not only not banned, but also built a university specializing in alchemy, where the Dan that turned Ella's hair into brown was graduated.

"What's wrong with that alchemy university?"

"A fire broke out a few months ago, and one-quarter of the school buildings were affected. But the place where the papers of teachers and students of all generations were also there. The entire room was burned and almost all the documents were burned down by the fire."

"That's a pity. But the problem is not a big deal. If it is a useful research, it should have been copied by many people. Moreover, the people who write the book must have backups themselves."

Amy said mysteriously: "The point is not the papers that have been burned... but the papers that have been survived."

“The literature that remains?”

"Almost all papers were burned, but a small number of papers - not precious documents that were specially preserved, but ordinary papers mixed with those burned papers - were preserved intact in the fire! These papers were scattered in various parts of the charred room, and after people collected them together, they were surprised to find that the authors of these papers were the same person!"

Ella opened her mouth wide in shock: "Only the paper written by this person has been preserved in the fire?"

"Yes, only his paper has been tested by the fire. Everyone now says that this is the guidance of the three great Hermes. Hermes helped mankind erase all mistakes and only left the truth."

As he said that, Amy smiled innocently.

"They also said that the author had already controlled the fire element and wanted to find him and ask him to give a lot of money to give him a lecture! Hehe, I think his Majesty can't pay any more, should I go to give them a lecture too..."

"The fire element is not the same thing as your fire."

Ella gave this stupid little maid a popular science.

"What they are talking about is the concept related to alchemy. In the alchemy theory, all metals are composed of sulfur and mercury in a certain proportion, called the two elements. Sulfur and mercury are composed of the four basic properties of cold, heat, dry and wet. Aristotle also mentioned the four properties of cold, heat, dry and wet. Heat and wet are wind, cold and wet are water, cold and dry are earth, and heat and dry are fire, called the four elements. Although the relationship between the two elements and the four elements is not clear, it is obvious that controlling the fire element is an important step in metal transformation. People are thinking about turning base metals into gold!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is that true..." Amy was a little depressed, "I thought I could make some pocket money and buy more clothes."

"You still buy clothes? You have already collected thousands of clothes, right? There are more than me!"

"I haven't counted it. I always weigh the clothes I buy according to the weight... I thought if it is torn apart again, I can spare..."

"Who dares to tear your clothes now? If you don't talk about this, do you know what the person who wrote those papers are named?"

"Well... I remember... it was named Paracelsus. It is said that he graduated from Alchemy University three years ago. He was just an ordinary student at that time. But now everyone is fighting for the few pieces of paper he left behind."

"Paracelsus?" Ella suddenly looked very angry. "Have the prefix of Para-before celsus, does he think he has surpassed Celsus?"

"Your Majesty? I don't understand, Celsus is..."

"Eight hundred years ago, he wrote eight books on "History of Medicine", "General Pathology", "Specific Diseases", "Body Parts", "Pharmaciology", "Surgery", and "Orthopedics", and compiled them into a "Medical Skill". He was the greatest medical scientist in the history of the Qiqiu Empire! That book is still stored in the Wang Family Library!"

"That's it...but why is Your Majesty angry?"

"Celsus is a member of our Cornelius clan! Amy, I want to lead troops out and rob! I want to rob those pieces of paper and see what the student has to do to call himself Paracelsus!"

"Do you want to rob? But I heard that the navy of the Island Republic is very powerful... What can you do?"

Ella bit her clothes unwillingly.

Although the Island Republic is composed of only a few small islands and some scattered lands, their naval size is comparable to that of the Seven Hills Empire. Their capitals are always under the protection of the navy. Moreover, unlike Constantineer, the capital of the Island Republic is at the end of a narrow sea road, and the land on both sides is like a large pocket. If they do not defeat their navy head-on, rushing into such a large pocket will almost die. And if they want to defeat their navy head-on, the army that needs to be mobilized will be very large. She cannot mobilize a huge fleet to the other end of the continent just to grab a few pieces of paper.

"Then let's discuss this matter again." Ella stood up as if nothing had happened, trying to walk out of the palace.

Amy reacted and grabbed Ella who wanted to slip away.

"Amy! Let me go! The reception is complete! I'm going to take a shower! Then go back to the 'Flying Zealander' to rest!"
