Juliana’s workshop Chapter 47: Past stories

　　 "You look more like a necromancer than an alchemist." Olga looked at the little iron pot with the weird green gas and said to Lulunaka.

　　 Lulunaka picked up the small iron pot, turned it over and fell down. The little gas still remaining in the small iron pot flowed out of the pot and quickly dissipated into the air. "Like a necromancer? I have no interest in manipulating the undead, nor the interest in swinging corpses and bone frames. All of what I did tonight is still within the scope of an alchemist. But my interests are more extensive. , There are more things involved, so naturally I can also have my own understanding and practice of other things."

　　 After the gas in the iron pan was cleaned up, Lulunaka put the small iron pan aside, "I said before. When an alchemist, you can’t work behind closed doors, just indulge in your own In the world. Many novel and interesting things in this world, if you ignore it, then I am an alchemist not very interesting. I only know that the alchemist who plays with gunpowder is not interesting and very boring."

　　 Speaking of this, Lulunaka paused before continuing, "But it’s not my interest to do this kind of thing, but there is an agreement that I can only work part-time as a soul-catcher. ...But only temporarily."

　　While Lulunaka was talking to Olga, Padin came to Tours’s bones. He squatted down and carefully observed the skeleton that had been there for more than a hundred years. There are many traces of time left on the armored skeleton, but there are also some that existed in front of him. Tours felt that his left arm was injured and he couldn’t use his strength because he had an arrow sandwiched between the bones of his left arm. Now that arrow has been taken away by Lulunaka, and she has also tied a cloth strip to it, like It's really the same as treating a wound.

　　A little green is stained on the bones near the spine that connects the body to the head. It was the green gas that Tours drank, leaving traces inside his body. Without this pair of armor, Padin would probably still be able to see the crumbs of biscuits spilling over the skeleton of Tours. If a skeleton eats dry food biscuits, naturally there is no stomach to digest it, so the biscuits that are crushed by his white bones and eaten can only turn into crumbs and fall on the place of the stomach.

　　Padin touched the armor on Turs. The armor is already covered with moss, but near the breastplate, traces of the former can still be seen. The burqa is no longer there, and most of the scratched badge has become blurred.

　　Paddin’s five fingers pressed near the badge of the breastplate, and the fingertips pressed hard to scrape off the moss covering it. The broken badge lost the cover of the moss and finally revealed its true colors. Patin tried to ask who Turs belonged before, but Turs didn’t say what he meant, and he couldn’t keep on asking—asking to a skeleton who thought he was a living person, in case the pressure was too tight. If that is the case, maybe Tours will have doubts, and then begin to realize what kind of existence he is.

　　Turs is a friendly undead, but if this undead becomes emotionally unstable, then it's not a good thing. The energy brought by negative feelings is the foundation of the existence of the undead, and most of the undead who lose this energy source will disappear immediately. But there are also Tures who transform from undead to spirit body to fulfill their unfulfilled wish. Compared with the undead, the spirit body is more pure. Although there are also malicious spirit bodies, most of the spirit bodies are harmless, but some things have not been completed before death, and there is still nostalgia for the world of the living.

　　The incomplete badge on the breastplate of Tours is the head of an eagle. The eagle's head is facing to the left, and only one side of the eagle's claws and wings are also facing to the left. Padin touched the missing right.

　　 There should have been another eagle there. The double-headed eagle is the symbol of the double-eagle empire, not the incomplete product with only one eagle head.

　　Padin knew that Tours were soldiers of the Double Eagle Empire, there was no doubt about that. But he didn't know which unit he belonged to.

　　 The dead can't speak, and become dead things, even more so.

　　 "He comes from an elite force." Padin said, "In the Double Eagle Empire, there are only a few units that can be equipped with a double-headed eagle badge...Of course, these are all over a hundred years ago. It’s up. In the current King’s Castle, any noble private soldier can get a double-headed eagle flag and this badge as long as they spend a little money to get through the relationship."

　　 The emblem of the double-headed eagle is no longer a symbol of glory, but a commodity full of cheap copper smells. The gold coins of the double-headed eagle can no longer attract the interest of merchants. This cheap gold coin exchanges the flag. And badges, naturally will not be really valuable things. Lulunaka said earlier that a gold coin with a double-headed eagle pattern is actually equivalent to a copper coin. Except for the interior of the Double Eagle Empire, foreign merchants or travelers, not many people are willing to receive such a thing. In the double eagle empire, the double-headed eagle gold coin is only an accessory of the transaction, and the two sides of the transaction are more using the lion head gold coin of the Republic of Vis, or the crescent gold coin of the Crescent Empire.

　　 But these are things in the present, not in the past. Tours belonged to the era more than a hundred years ago, and the badge on his body has a deeper meaning: it symbolizes all glory. Not only because the Double Eagle Empire was still a powerful country that spanned the continents of Olan and Yilan more than a hundred years ago, and was able to regard the Dark Sea as its own inner lake, it was also because of a single person.

　　 Paladin, Paladin.

　　In that era long before Patin was born, except for the emperor of the Double Eagle Empire, only the knight Paladin was qualified to hold the double-headed eagle flag, and only his legions and troops could be equipped with the double-headed eagle emblem. He is invincible, as strong as a **** descending to the earth, slaying dragons and slaying enemies, and omnipotent. He can cut off mountain peaks with a single sword, and can penetrate the mountains with a single shot. He is like a hero who only exists in ancient mythology. He has brought countless victories to the Double Eagle Empire and made his reputation spread throughout the entire continent of Oland. Even the easternmost part of the Yilan continent can hear him. His story, the desert sea across the sea from the south is praising his great achievements, and the icy tundra in the north is whispering about him.

　　His prestige spread far and wide, even surpassing the emperor at the time. But he was loyal, self-disciplined, never did anything unfavorable to the Double Eagle Empire, and never disrespected his king, and his loyalty was also passed down as a good talk.

　　 But that's all in the past. In a civil turmoil over a hundred years ago, the Double Eagle Empire lost Paladin, the protector of the country. It was like losing the backbone of the country.

　　 Except for the King’s Fort, the Double Eagle Empire no longer has other territories and no longer has any vassals. On the contrary, it just happens to become a de facto vassal of others. Surrounded by the territory of the Crescent Empire, humble and cautiously survived. Only the cast iron crown of the Emperor of the Double Eagle Empire has proved the glory of the Double Eagle Empire. The irony is that it was supposed to be a crown made of pure gold and studded with colorful gems, but the original was stolen in an invasion and plunder many years ago~IndoMTL.com~ fell to the Republic of Vis. In the hands of a certain consul.

　　 There is no eternal empire. This is an immutable truth. Even the once glorious Double Eagle Empire cannot get rid of this truth. The only difference in the Double Eagle Empire is probably the long history that is much longer than other countries-that is the history of the Double Eagle Empire that has been replaced since the collapse of the ancient empire. The thousand-year history of the Double Eagle Empire continues to this day, even if it has become a country within a country.

　　 Padin murmured, "He is from Paladin's legion. If my guess is not wrong, what he wants to escape should be a rout after Paladin disappeared."

　　 "Is that Paladin Paladin?" Olga asked.

　　 Padin nodded, "The civil strife more than a hundred years ago was a prelude to the collapse of the Double Eagle Empire-Paladin's whereabouts are unknown, and this prelude was played. At that time Paladin was ordered by the emperor to suppress the rebels, but... …"

　　 At this time, Lulunaka intervened and interrupted Paladin, "Mr. Edgar, this is not the time for history class. And no matter when it is, I am not interested in history class." She Want to go to the bones of Padin and Tours, stand beside the bones, and pat the bones of Tours with his hands. "Your history is only recorded in books, and there may be real places, but I don't think anyone can write a correct one in this history. The people who have really experienced it are right in front of you, so don't talk nonsense."

　　 Lulunaka is referring to herself, or Turs, who has become a skeleton, Padin and Olga don't know. But even if Lulunaka was referring to herself, neither of them would be surprised. An alchemist playing with necromancy, at least not as simple and...young as it seems on the surface.
