Chapter 382 Planted Seeds
Magnison's Enlightenment Mentor?
Xia Lan was slightly stunned. This was a very strange person to him, but when Baird spoke of this person, there was a clear hint of respect on his face.*,
"What kind of person is he?" Xia Lan asked with such doubts.
"A crazy alchemist who is extremely willing to test his life. Many years ago, I heard that he died unexpectedly in an experimental accident. I didn't expect that he has been living in Magnison's laboratory for many years." Baird said in a deep voice.
"He was very famous back then?" Xia Lan asked.
"Yes, it can be said that most alchemists at that time regarded him as an idol of admiration, and his dedication to alchemy was by no means something people can imagine nowadays." Baird said.
"What kind of experiment did he have an accident later?" Xia Lan couldn't help but be confused when thinking about the strangeness of the old man's aura.
"The human experiment of alchemy taboos." Baird said solemnly.
"Human experiment? He was crazy?" Xia Lan said in shock.
"Yes, what's even more crazy is that he regards himself as a human subject." Baird said. "No matter what the experimental results are, any alchemist who violates the alchemy taboo will never escape judgment. He should be very clear about this, so it is very likely that he had faked his death by using the experimental accident and lived in obscurity since then."
"So, his experiment was successful?" Xia Lan took a deep breath.
"Eight out of ten." Byard nodded.
"Do you know the specific content of human experimental research when he was willing to touch alchemy and violated the taboos?" Xia Lan asked.
"This is not a secret in the alchemy world. He wants to continue his life through experiments!" Baird shook his head and sighed: "After all, he often takes risks in a dangerous experiment environment, which caused great harm to his physical health. Even his life is in a state of exhaustion. How could a person like him die easily? That's why he uses human experiments to continue his life."
No wonder the aura on the other party is so strange. Perhaps this is the special symptom left by human experiments back then. If you think about it carefully, the other party is like a ghost, silent. Could it be that...
Xia Lan left. Since he had achieved the purpose of this trip at Baird, he had no reason to stay.
When he returned to the hotel, he happened to meet Hermiya and her mother were about to go out. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen them for several days, because most of the time he was busy with his own affairs and had no time to care about each other.
Ms. Anderin was not like Hermia who was hostile to Xia Lan. She greeted Hermia with a polite smile before leaving. Xia Lan paused and said to them who had not yet walked away. The healing potion will be made next week.
Before they could speak, Xia Lan disappeared at the hotel gate, leaving Hermia laughing and celebrating with her mother excitedly.
...
Adelina sat at the door of the grocery store holding the book as usual. Her big bright eyes were filled with hopes and would look at the alley in the distance from time to time, as if the next moment she would appear there.
Maybe she knew that everything would not be what she wanted. But whenever she thought of the other person, her heart would always be warm, a little beauty, a little touch, a little longing, and a little persistence. She would feel this sweetness. No matter when she would never get tired of her childish and ridiculous behavior in the eyes of others.
The bright sunshine in the shallow summer pours on a small figure through the clouds, the cool sea breeze gently blows across the face, and the faint fragrance that permeates the air is filled with the tenderness of the movement.
However, beautiful things are always as illusory and fragile as foam, and a finger will turn into countless water stains with a slight touch.
"Adrina, do you still remember who I am?"
Instead of expecting the appearance of his lover, Adrina attracted a group of uninvited guests.
"You...you are not..."
Looking at the group of ferocious and frivolous rogues appearing in front of the grocery store, Adrina stood up in panic and hurriedly stepped back and said nervously.
"Haha... do you think I dare not harass you again after I let that little white face clean up?" The leading gangster was wrapped in thick bandages on his arms, and his face was covered with countless terrifying scars. He stretched out his other intact finger and smiled grimly: "Look, this is the little white face's masterpiece to me. I, Jason, are a very revengeful person, and I will never give up on this account, so..."
"What do you want to do?" Adelina exclaimed as she looked at the gangsters surrounding her.
"What are you doing? Of course I'm fucking you!" The leading gangster laughed wildly and said, "If I can't deal with that man, can't I still deal with his woman?! And you will repay the pain I suffered on his behalf!"
"Help!!"
Seeing that Adrina was about to fall into the hands of a group of hooligans, suddenly, the small grocery store seemed to be still as time had stopped. After closing his eyes and calling for help for a long time, Adrina opened her eyes carefully, and suddenly she was shocked to find that the villains in front of her stood still, as if they were petrified, and even the lewd smiles on her face were vivid.
What's wrong with this?
Adrina stared at the strange scene in front of her with incredible gaze.
"Little sister, you are so lucky."
A charming and lazy voice echoed quietly. Adrina looked in the sound and saw a beautiful woman in an exposed dress walking towards her outside the grocery store.
"Is it...you saved me? This sister!" Adelina's little head suddenly cleared.
"It's not worry-free when I go out for a while. It seems that I'm really not suitable for a stable day." The woman stretched and knocked the petrified gangster beside her to the ground, saying, "Little sister, for the sake of my saving you, how do you plan to pay your sister's reward?"
"Reward, reward?" Adelina was stunned.
"Of course, this is the same as paying for money for buying things. I saved you, and you naturally have to pay me to save you." The woman said with a look of course.
"Ah..." Adelina was a little stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Hmm? Are you not rich?" The woman frowned after seeing Adrina's appearance, looked at the grocery store left and right and said, "If you don't have money, you can mortgage this grocery store to me."
"No, no, this one is absolutely not possible." When Adelina heard the woman ask for her own grocery store, she immediately shouted nervously. "If you have money, I will give you money."
As he said that, Adrina hurried to the small cabinet in the grocery store, opened the drawer, and poured all the money inside on the counter. In the end, she saw a pile of scattered copper coins, mixed with two or three silver coins.
"Is this... enough?" Adelina grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands and looked at the woman with an uneasy expression.
The woman walked up to Adrina, glanced at the messy coins on the counter, then stretched out her finger to pick up a copper coin, and smiled out of her face and said to Adrina, "This copper coin is enough."
"That's enough?" Adelina said in disbelief.
"What? Do you think I really want your grocery store?" The woman suddenly laughed and said, "I'm teasing you, little sister!"
Adrina was stunned, then bulged her face and said, "You are so bad, sister! But I still have to thank you for saving me!"
After the woman finished laughing, she reached out and patted Aidian's little head and said, "How could a girl open a grocery store in such a place? If I hadn't met me today, it would be useless no matter how you shouted for help."
"This is the grocery store my parents left for me, so I will never abandon it. And, sister, you should know the land price in Port Louis, unless I work hard for decades before I can buy a small shop in a bustling area." Adelina said seriously.
"Well, you're right." The woman nodded and agreed, "So, it's better to marry a woman than to do a good job. My sister sees that you are not bad at all. It's not a problem to find a rich and handsome man in the future."
"Uh--" Adrina lowered her head shyly when she heard this.
"Haha, the little sister is really shy. This is not possible. If you deal with a man, you must be bold and proactive. Otherwise, good men will be snatched away by other women!" The woman warned her as if she had come.
"I won't talk about this anymore. I don't know your name yet, sister." Adelina quickly changed the subject.
"My sister's name is Ophelia Buno, and the little sister just calls me Sister Ophelia." The woman smiled.
"My name is Adrina Georgia. I am so grateful to Sister Ophelia for your rescue today." Adrina thanked again solemnly.
"Sister, you are too polite. What I don't like most in my life is the man who bullies women, hum!"
As he said that, the woman named Ophelia waved her hand and the petrified rogues in the grocery store immediately flew out of the grocery store like they were swept by a hurricane.
Adrina looked at Ophelia's magical behavior in amazement, and when she came to her senses, she asked stutterly: "Sister Ophelia, this... this... this..."
"Magic! How is it? Isn't it magical?" Ophelia said proudly as she looked at Adelina.
"magic……"
When she heard the legendary magic appear in front of her, you can imagine that Adelina's excitement was. In the final analysis, she was just a little girl. She also had the curiosity and yearning for new things among her peers.
"Sister Ophelia, can you teach me magic?" Adelina pulled the other person's hand and said as if she was acting coquettishly.
"Of course..." Ophelia said with a smile: "No!"
"Ah...why?" Adelina said anxiously.
