Release that Witch Chapter 288: Tutor and disciple
Cam Schuire goes through small town and walks towards Scarlet Water River.
Today Border Town is already a bustling place. It is hard to imagine that this outpost was just set up to detect the movement of Evil Beast. At the foot is a black-grey hard ground. On both sides of the street are neatly arranged bungalows. Unlike residential buildings, these houses are not used for living, and the space is much more spacious than the dwellings. It is like a small warehouse.
Listen to His Royal Highness, these houses will be used for sale in the future.
In front of the bungalow is a deep drainage ditch covered with stone slab, which seems to draw two border lines for the black street. In addition, a large tree will be planted at each side of the road, sandwiched between two bungalows, and branches close to the center of the road, which will not only shade and rain, but also give people a pleasing look.
I have to say that the biggest feeling here is regularity.
Whether it is a house, a road, a ditch or a tree, it is located in a planned location, and its degree of attention is not less than that of noble's garden garden. The feeling of strolling in Border Town has been comparable to that of Scarlet Water City's main city area. Although the latter's building scale is more dense and large, the extremely coordinated arrangement has given these bland houses a unique aesthetic feeling. This feeling overwhelms the individual's hugeness, and shows a higher level of grandeur as a whole.
Like those uniform chemical formulas, he thought, this is the beauty that order brings.
Cam is now quite famous in small town. Pedestrians will nod and salute him, and Esteemed will call him Lord Sage. However, he likes the title of chemistry master more than sages. Unfortunately, His Highness Roland said that he had to comprehend "Intermediate Chemistry" in order to win this honor.
Out of the center area, you can see that Western Region's Scarlet Water River runs across the river. The number of laboratories on the river bank has increased to four. However, the latter two can only be idle for the time being because they do not have enough staff.
Cam is preparing to call a few apprentices to complete the task ordered by His Highness. A soldier wearing a First Army uniform came over.
"Hello Schuire, there is a sailboat in the dock area carrying more than fifty ... civilians," he said after saluting. "Because there are too many people and they don't look like businessmen, the garrison stopped them. Come down. One of them said he wanted to see you. He claims to be alchemist from Scarlet Water City, his name is "
"James!" Cam grabbed the soldier's shoulder in excitement, "Hurry me to see him!"
...
Taking the soldier to the dock area, a familiar figure reflected in his eyes and it turned out to be James.
"Master Mentor!" The other party also discovered Cam as soon as possible, and immediately waved both hands at him.
"These are the alchemist and alchemy apprentices I invited," he walked in front of the guard Captain, "put everyone in come in, I will take them to City Hall to register."
"Yes, sir. But allow me to send a team to **** them."
"Anyway."
Escort is actually monitoring and controlling, so as to prevent anyone from leaving the team and mixing into the central area of small town. However, these are the rules set by His Highness the Prince, and Cam has no intention to interfere.
"Master, what is going on with them? Why is there someone in a remote small town who specializes in dock?" The released James quickly walked to him, complaining somewhat displeased, The city guards must be strict, and even the name and history must be asked. I didn't let them change their minds by using silver royal. "
"silver royal?" Cam asked with interest, "How many?"
"Of course one," James froze slightly.
"Hahaha," he laughed, touching his beard, "Of course that doesn't work, you know that their salary is around fifteen silver royal per month."
"Ten ... fifteen?"
" Yeah Compared to city patrols that live by blackmailing merchants and travelers, First Army Life is much more comfortable. However, because of this, extortion, looting, or receiving private property are strictly prohibited behaviors. Once found, they will be immediately expelled from the army and put into a dungeon for trial. " Cam Although not City Hall Full official, but temporary Minister of Chemistry After attending several meetings, I also have some understanding of these upper-level policies.
"Can they really control their own hands?" James asked slightly skeptically.
"There are also people who can't control it, but they are all assigned to the mine." He pouted, "Did you not notice the uniqueness of this small town when you came?"
"Uh ... there are many," said the young alchemist, scratching his head. "For example, there seem to be many people cutting trees and building roads along the river. They are so far away from Border Town. Where do they want to go? And what are these iron towers on the river bank used for? Do you store water for drinking? "He paused," Yes! Before arriving at dock ... I actually saw an iron bridge under construction! Not wood or not Stone, I ’m sure it ’s made of iron! ”
"It's much longer than the bridge I've seen before, right?" The chief alchemist smiled, "So don't bring the life experience of Scarlet Water City here. This is a completely different city, of course ... It's just a town now, but it's surprising enough. Just like the content on «Elementary Chemistry», before you haven't seen it in person, you never thought that it would be so possible in the world. "
I don't know why, when he said this to his former apprentice, he felt inexplicably cheerful and happy. If you think about it, you will find that he has regarded himself as a member of Border Town's, and enjoys it as if he is showing off his new home to guests.
...
After completing the registration, the apprentices handed over to the City Hall officials to arrange a residence, and Cam Schuire directly took James back to their residence.
"Although I know you will accept my invitation in the end, I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"I ..." James bowed his head a little embarrassed, "I should have promised you before."
Chief alchemist smiled. He was obsessed with alchemy, but he didn't know anything about the world. James did not choose to leave at first, it is likely to have expectations for feudal lord, hoping to obtain the chief position by the two acid method. It wasn't until Capola became the new chief that he had a lot of prejudice against him that led him to make up his mind to leave Scarlet Water City.
However, Cam doesn't care about this point, and yearning for the chief of the workshop is the ultimate pursuit of each alchemist.
"Don't worry about the previous things. alchemy is meaningless here. The glory of alchemist is also worthless. Here, there is only one thing worth pursuing: chemistry."
"I see." James take a deep breath.
"Although you can definitely get a separate house, but sleep here tonight, as before ... we haven't talked about it for a long time."
When he taught James alchemy skills, he once pulled the young disciple to talk all night long. When he was sleepy, he squeezed into a bed to rest and sleep.
The other person clearly understood what he meant, excitedly, "Yes, mentor!"
After dinner, the two came to the study, and Cam Schuire carefully moved out of the «Elementary Chemistry».
"Is this your ancient book?"
James Open the first page solemnly and read it carefully. And Cam stood aside, pointing to his puzzlement. This scene seems to be back a few years ago, the other party has become his disciple again.
Now that there are more James and more than 50 new apprentices, they have sufficient manpower to test the large-scale production of sulfuric acid. At the same time, two other chemical laboratories can also be operated. Cam proudly thought that the most important is that His Highness should also honor his promise and give "Intermediate Chemistry" to himself. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
