Perfume Alchemist

Seeing the three black cards slipping away from his hands, Ah Hao said with a heartache: "I didn't expect this part of the points to be quite expensive."

Wen De slumped on the bench exhausted physically and mentally: "Everyone doesn't really want to change it. After all, you can use points to improve your combat effectiveness and you can take on more powerful missions."

"If it wasn't for my face, I might not be able to exchange so many points today."

"Well, thank you, Master Wende, for your help. I'll go to the warehouse later, and I'll give you a small gift. As long as I can afford it, I can choose whatever I want."

Hearing this, Wende immediately regained his energy and stood up from his chair: "You said that!"

In the special warehouse with dense shelves, Ah Hao squatted down and found the dusty glass jar.

Gently blowing away the dust above, Ah Hao could vaguely see the hills of bright red powder piled up from behind the dirty glass.

Amy, the warehouse manager, waved her hand and unfolded an illusion light curtain.

[The fifth element, effect:? ? ? 】

"Are you sure you want to redeem this? Its price is [-] departmental points."

When Wende heard this number, he couldn't help taking a breath of air: "This is worth nearly [-] association points, so just exchange it for such a small amount? Ah Hao, do you want to think about it?"

Ahao weighed the glass bottle, then turned to ask Amy a question: "This fifth element, was it in this form before?"

Regardless of the pictures seen from the scene of memory or titles such as "Sage's Stone", Ahao thinks it should be crystal-like.

Amy took out a huge book from her small bag: "Well, I saw that it was in powder form when it was first put into storage, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Is it recorded in it about its quality? After all, with such a large sum of money, I don't want to get a defective product."

Amy nodded understandingly: "The net content recorded here is 20 grams. I will help you weigh it later. If the quality decreases, I will subtract the corresponding price."

Ahao nodded in satisfaction.

Amy took the glass jar and quickly walked back to the entrance.

She poured the powder onto the scale and weighed it carefully: "Well, it's still 20 grams here! It hasn't decreased at all."

Ah Hao looked at a small handful of bright red powder in front of him, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, how many lives would it take to exchange these quality stones of sages?
No no no.

Ah Hao shook his head.

He doesn't feel that human life is the only material for making the Philosopher's Stone.If this is the case, how can it be worthy of the word sage?
After he goes back, he has to study this thing carefully.

"That's it, just change it."

Ahao turned his head and looked at Wende: "Have you picked it out? A little gift."

"Hey, I'm sorry." Wende smiled and took out a pair of light black sunglasses from behind. "Here, I specially picked a very cheap one. Show me, Amy."

Amy took the sunglasses and waved them away: "[Haoheng Sunglasses], after wearing them, you can see clearly at night. The price is 888 points, which is really cheap."

"Wrap it up." Ahao waved his hand casually.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that his actions at this time were very similar to rich wives who came to Zu Nana's perfume shop for consumption.

"Thank you boss, hehe."

Wende put on sunglasses with a doggy face, and made a few poses that he thought were handsome.

— and had a silly little wolf dog, too bad it looks more like it now.

Ahao covered his face, pretended not to know Wende, and left the warehouse quickly.

Before leaving the Arcane Association, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It was Alice, the receptionist, who was working diligently at the counter to do business for people.

Ahao suddenly remembered something, he pulled Wende past him, and asked softly: "Did Alice come to Nordson Manor to seek enlightenment?"

Wende staggered, and the arrogance he pretended disappeared instantly.

"That little girl? Hey, she came here. Didn't she come to you to get enlightened with the sisters Sandora?"

Ahao frowned: "Sandora? Oh, it's the two sisters of Sword and Sword. I only enlightened those two people that time, not Alice."

Wende shook his head: "Then I don't know why, logically she should show up. There were three people when I registered."

"Strange."

Ah Hao walked forward quickly.

Alice, who had a tired face, still forced a smile when she saw him.

"Mr. Ahao? I haven't seen you for a long time. What's the matter today?"

Ah Hao cut straight to the point: "I've finished my work, so I came here to see you.

"Didn't you agree to go to Wende Manor to get enlightened? Why didn't you show up later? What happened?"

Hearing this question, Alice showed a look of despair on her face, and she spoke a little bit hard:
"Something happened at home. Enlightenment or something, don't be in a hurry.

"After all, I failed once, and I may not succeed this time."

Ah Hao asked with concern: "What happened?"

For Alice, who has given a lot of help in the past, Ahao also treats her as a friend.

Alice glanced behind Ahao, and put the sign of "resting" on the counter.

"Hey, come here, let me talk to you."

Alice stared at her toes, and walked up dejectedly.

Ah Hao silently followed behind her.At the corner where there were fewer people, Alice finally spoke: "Do you know about the accident at St. Luodu Hospital?"

"I know, what's the matter?" Ahao didn't expect Alice to mention this all of a sudden.

Alice closed her eyes deeply, and took a deep breath: "On the day the accident happened in the hospital, my mother was undergoing surgery in the operating room."

"But then the alarm suddenly sounded, and the doctors all ran away, leaving my mother in a coma in the operating room."

Ah Hao's heart immediately twitched.

If he remembers correctly, the alarm should have been triggered by him and Illya.
"Then what happened to Auntie?"

"I'm completely in a coma, and I can't wake up. The doctor said it was caused by an overdose of anesthesia."

"After the doctor ran away, the machine was still infusing my mother with anesthetic gas..."

Alice held back the tears in her eyes: "The hospital also took the initiative to take responsibility later, exempting the operation fee and hospitalization fee."

"But looking at my mother who has been lying on the hospital bed, I can't just ignore it like this.

"I used all the accumulated points to buy healing items."

"Including the potion you gave me before, Ahao, I also gave it to my mother. But it didn't work."

The strong sad breath smelled from the tip of Ah Hao's nose made him feel a little overwhelmed:

"Alice, let me accompany you to visit your mother. You know, I'm an arcane mage, so maybe I can think of something."

There was a hint of excitement in Alice's eyes, but it soon turned into hesitation: "This is too much trouble for you."

"It's okay, we're friends, aren't we?"

Alice nodded heavily, and a happy smile appeared under her tear-filled eyes.

This smile caused the tears she had stored up to flow out of her eyes, and two tear stains were drawn.
