Chapter 1 Zeeland and Lorraine (2)

However, Ella, who was approaching the little lamb with a knife, was overturned by the sheep's hooves.

"Well...Amy, hurry up and use Aphrodite's protection!" Ella shouted, covering her red nose.

"Your Majesty, please don't always let me seduce these strange things, okay!"

Under Amy's resistance, they finally failed to eat it into mutton. As compensation, Amy cooked a pot of soup with cabbage and asked Ella to eat it with bread made from beans, grains and bark.

Although this meal was extremely simple, for Ella, who had been wandering on the sea for a month, it was already very satisfying to drink hot soup.

At night, Ella set up the Eye of Hermes in an open space, but the sky tonight was covered with dark clouds and was completely unsuitable for observing the stars. Amid the sigh, she returned to the room and found the alchemy work that Jabir gave her.

"The king's crown should be pure gold, and a chaste bride should marry him. The greedy gray wolf belongs to the warlike Ares because of its name, but is born a child of Cronos, living hungryly in the valleys and mountains of the world. Throwing the king's body in front of it may be nourished from him. When it devours the king, it ignites the bonfire and throws the wolf into the fire to burn it completely... What the hell is it written!"

Ella closed the book cursingly. Alchemists were afraid that their knowledge would be lost, so they were always diligent in recording; but they were also afraid that their knowledge would be stolen too easily by others, so they always like to use code words and code names to hide their knowledge. What is most devastating is that there is no unified code word in alchemy, and the code used by each alchemist is used casually when they write books. This is also the most critical reason why Ella has never understood alchemy literature.

Jabir's works also seem to be no different from other alchemists.

But just as she was about to throw the book down to go to bed, she remembered the Mamercus who made counterfeit coins. If Dan was not around at that time, no one in the Seven Hills Empire, which prohibited alchemy, would have discovered Mamercus's secret.

According to Jabir, the alchemy of the Tianfang Empire developed to a considerable level two thousand years ago, and it is not comparable to a small character like Mamercus.

Ella gritted her teeth and translated Jabir's book again. She wanted to block all the knowledge she had and swear to translate Jabir's documents into something she could understand.

After making up her mind like this, Ella reads from the beginning word by word again. She suddenly realized that after following Dan for a while, she could actually understand a lot of these seemingly confused words in front of her: For example, Ares, Dan said that in alchemy it means iron, while Kronos refers to lead...

"Your Majesty! There are so many mice! My clothes are bitten by them! And they are running around my ears, and it feels like their ears will be bitten off at any time!"

Amy ran in panic, holding the same panic-looking little rice in her hand:

"Look at it, the little rice people were scared by those mice. The number was really too many!"

"Is that true? I'll get a rat poison tomorrow."

Ella answered absent-mindedly, sending Amy away.

At this moment, the collection of books in the Wang Family Library seemed to be blown up by a hurricane, turning pages in Ella's mind.

As she looked, she suddenly heard a spitting sound coming from her ears. She put down the book and looked around and found that it was already morning. She continued to look for the source of the sound, and finally turned her eyes to the crowbar she placed aside-

A strange man passed by the window and naturally spoke to Ella familiarly:

"Hey, there was just a news that a few groups of people in our territory were hunting and the people in the next door Lorrain territory had a conflict over the issue of prey ownership, and then our people were seized by them. What should you do?"

"Can you snatch it back soon?"

Ella continued to answer absent-mindedly. The strange man hammered his palms as if he had realized it: "Yes, it's obviously such a simple question!"

"For some reason..." Ella muttered in a low voice. She felt a little dissatisfied - because the man just appeared, his voice disappeared.

She picked up the crowbar and looked at it carefully. She suddenly found that the position of the webutton on the crowbar had changed slightly - although it was still made of iron, it seemed to have had life, and the snake's head had shifted its original position.

Ella shivered with excitement - she remembered Jabir's saying that the snake placed on the crowbar was a product of alchemy and was very close to the perfect philosopher stone. Could it be that the condition for summoning this snake was to have the knowledge of alchemy that matched it?

She put her attention back to Jabir's book.

The books in the Wang Family Library were turned over faster. A fragment of various books, including different types, different page numbers, and different texts, began to be gradually spliced ​​into meaningful paragraphs in Ella's mind.

Ella still couldn't understand Jabir's book. However, this time, it was not because she could not interpret the code words in the book, but because Ella gave too many interpretations. In just the first chapter, Ella gave more than 30 possible explanations, and the logic of each explanation was sufficiently self-consistent.

Which explanation is correct?

Just as Ella was racking her brains for this, the strange man appeared by the window again and asked:

"Although I want to grab it back... but when should I set off?"

"Down as soon as you want, go immediately when you are ready, and ask me if you want to?"

Ella yelled angrily, then focused on Jabir's book—

After a while, she suddenly felt something was wrong:

This is Zeland, not Constantineer.

But she subconsciously used the tone when she was disturbed by official duties in the palace.

Amy ran over in panic at this moment:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's not good! These people from Zeland suddenly ran out of the farmland, picked up axes and shields, and thousands of people rushed to the next door to kill..."

"Ha? What do these savages want to do? Their lord Hestein was obviously not here, but this large-scale conflict broke out spontaneously?"

"They said... it was the order of the lord."

"Agent Lord? Lily and Hestein are not married yet, and Bjorn is not here... Wait a minute! Could it be..."

Ella carefully confirmed Amy with her eyes, her voice getting lighter and lighter.

Amy turned her head aside in embarrassment and said in a light, almost inaudible voice:

"Your Majesty, Hestein, Bjorn and Lily are not here, and now there is enough prestige, and the one who lives in the house of their Lord Hestein... is you."
