Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 377 Inhaled by the Gate of Truth
"Mr. Ahao, what were you talking about just now?"

Luke's call brought Ahao back to his senses in an instant.

"It's nothing."

Ah Hao withdrew his gaze and turned around calmly.

"Let's go on, go to the Alchemy Association."

"okay."

However, the expression can be calm, but the rapid heartbeat cannot be stopped.

Ah Hao swallowed, feeling the heart in his chest, still beating frantically.

He never expected that he could find clues to the door of truth here!

Who exactly built the Golden Disc?
Will these few words he cast be the answer to the door?

As soon as he arrived in Quattro, the golden disc stopped working. Could there be a connection between the two?

One question after another hovered in Ah Hao's mind, making him feel a strong desire.

He has to quickly find a quiet place and meet 【Gate of Truth】!
However, when he asked some questions, he already knew the answers.

Ascended from the earth and descended from the sky.His initial understanding of this sentence was to describe rainwater!
If it is said that ascending from the earth and descending from the sky is just describing the truth.Then the subsequent sentence of "obtaining the ability above and below it" is obviously giving Yuanpan the ability.

Ascension from the ground gave Yuanpan the ability to "pump" groundwater.

Falling from the sky should give the golden disc the ability to condense water vapor from the air.

The combination of the two enables the golden disc to continuously gush out sweet springs in the desert, nurturing an oasis!
So the golden disc is an alchemy spectacle made with the mantra as the core!A super-large city-level alchemy wonder!

He has cracked the secret of the golden disc!
Quattro is worthy of being the capital of alchemy, and even erected alchemy wonders in the middle of the city.

Based on the words he saw, the trip to Quattro was not in vain.

Not to mention the rewards promised by the city lord and the president.

He has decided on the reward for repairing the golden disc this time!

The Alchemy Association was full of voices, and Ah Hao couldn't see anything except the crowd of people.And more and more people are flocking to the Alchemy Association

"Why are there so many people?" Ahao frowned.

He thought that the Alchemy Association would be a quiet place. Originally, he wanted to find a corner where no one was around, and hurry to see the Gate of Truth.Unexpectedly, there were so many people here that he didn't know where to stand.

"I guess they are all people who want to come for certification." Luke covered his forehead, and said with a little pain: "There are many reclusive alchemists in Quattro, who have their own inheritance, and they didn't bother to join the Alchemy Association before. .”

"Once the incident with the gold disc happened this time, they probably have to bite the bullet and come to the Alchemy Association's assessment."

"There are so many reclusive alchemists?" Ahao didn't quite believe it.

"I guess there are also some part-time alchemists who want to try their luck. They probably just want to get a ticket."

"Stop talking, Mr. Ahao, you wait here for me to play, and I'll see if I can let you participate in the assessment as soon as possible."

After Luke finished speaking, he ran away quickly.

Ah Hao listened to the discussion of the people around him for a while, and also figured out the situation.The Alchemy Association is not only full of alchemists who want to advance temporarily.Some people who are still unclear about the current situation also came here to inquire about the situation.

It seems to be the habit and common sense of the Quattro people to find the alchemist when something is broken.

Taking advantage of this time, Ahao took out Luke's alchemy letter, found the relevant part of [Weak Energy Restoration Potion], and casually glanced at it.

Although the exam will be held later, he doesn't even know the formula of the medicine yet.

After Ah Hao finished reading this page, he turned a few pages back.Luke was back soon too.He seems to have used some connections to allow Ahao to take priority in the advanced assessment of the first-order alchemist.

Along with the crowded crowd, Ah Hao walked towards the urgently opened alchemy assessment site.

"Come on, Mr. Hao!"

Luke waved to him outside the field gate, and was overwhelmed by the crowd.

In the assessment site, which was as wide as a square, Ahao was assigned to a central position.

Before him was a complex device composed of a stone table, a stove, a cauldron, and various glass devices.

Around him, such devices are arranged very regularly.The men, women and children who participated in the assessment all stood in front of the device they were assigned to in an orderly manner.

"The advanced assessment of alchemists lasts for 150 minutes, and whispering is not allowed during the period! All candidates who make noise will be disqualified from the assessment!"

A loud voice resounded in the venue, and the examination room immediately fell silent.

"Then, let me tell you about the assessment rules. First, in the drawer of [Alchemy Cauldron], you can find the materials that will be used in this assessment."

After listening to a few words, Ah Hao confirmed that the content of the assessment was the production of weak energy potions, and then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

The environment here is still considered quiet, enough for him to sink into the space in his heart.

After all, the assessment time is two and a half hours, and he has plenty of time.After the meeting comes out, it's completely in time to fool around a few times.

But after a few breaths, his breathing became longer.

After the alchemist in charge of the exam finished explaining the rules, all the alchemists in the field started to move.Only Ah Hao continued to sit cross-legged without caring about the world.

The other alchemists started the fire and boiled water in an orderly manner, and after picking out the materials in the drawer, they started the preliminary raw material processing.

Not all the materials that the Alchemy Association puts in the drawers can be directly used in the assessment.Some materials cannot be used in the crafting of energy potions at all, but they look very similar to the required materials.

Some materials require secondary processing by the examiner before use.

The invigilator walked all the way in the examination room, shaking his head imperceptibly.Just the most basic step of picking materials has already "eliminated" less than half of the people.

This group of alchemists is really the worst class he has ever led!
With this kind of virtue, you still want to restore the golden disc? !
There are also people who meditate here as soon as they come in!I don't even know what to think of as a place.

The invigilator stood beside Ah Hao, glared at him a few times, and coughed hard.

Seeing that this person ignored him at all, he could only shake his head and continue to inspect the venue.

In the pure white space, Ah Hao was yelling at the door of truth: "Ascended from the earth to the sky, and descended from the sky, gaining the power above and below."

The mantra was quickly completed in the middle of the door, and the door of truth immediately sounded.

The big stone in Ah Hao's heart fell to the ground.This sentence turned out to be the answer.

He looked carefully at the door of truth, and found that the way it opened today was somewhat different.

The past few times it has been opened outwards, as if someone is eagerly pushing it inside.But this time, the door of truth was slightly closed, as if waiting for Ah Hao to push it.

Ah Hao put his hands on the thick stone door, pushed hard, and the door of truth suddenly opened.

A strong suction came from behind the door, and Ah Hao immediately pawed on the ground, trying to resist the suction.

However, he suddenly remembered the anecdote that Xia Duo had told him: "The fourth-rank arcanist is a threshold. Only after crossing this threshold, can you be qualified to explore the world behind the door."

Could it be that the door of truth is now guiding him to explore the world inside the door?
The advancement this time is equivalent to the advancement of the fourth-order arcanist level?

Thinking of this, Ahao let go of his hand and let himself fall into the door of truth.

What kind of world will there be inside the gate of truth?
Fall, endless fall.

Ah Hao fell into the sky from the darkness, fell into the clouds from the sky, fell into the crust from the clouds, and fell into the lava from the crust.

He is like a phantom passing through, and the scene of the world flashes across his vision.

In the dazzlingly bright magma, Ahao covered his eyes tightly.

He couldn't feel the temperature of the magma, nor could he smell it.

But even so, the light of the magma still stung his eyes.

After falling in the magma lake for a while, Ah Hao finally felt that his surroundings had darkened.

He opened his eyes again, and saw a little bit of starlight around him.

He didn't know where he had come, he just felt that this place looked like an ocean, a lavender ocean.

Under the dreamy purple sea lies a distorted and strange city.

Shipwrecks, stairs, wooden cabinets, attics, castles.
Seaweed-like sticky tissue greedily clings to the top of these buildings, making this place look weird and infiltrating.

This place is like a nightmare, where everything that should be normal blends together chaotically.

The speed of Ah Hao's fall became slower.

Fine bubbles appeared in the lavender sea water, and the distorted city below began to frantically gather towards the middle.

This strange sight immediately attracted Ahao's attention.

In the deepest part of the seabed, a deep purple vortex appeared.All the buildings creaked in the vortex, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The city was compressed into a dark purple orb.

Ah Hao stepped on the bottom of the sea slowly, he finally stopped falling and landed in front of the ball.

Broken city fragments are laid on the undulating seabed, bringing a somewhat irritating feeling to the feet.

But he didn't have time to pay attention to these details.

Because the ball in front of him "unfolded".

The slender wings spread freely to both sides, occupying all of Ah Hao's vision.

This is not a ball, but a monster.

Purple light glowed like a breath, outlining its ray-like form.The shape of the monster is still expanding, and it seems that it wants to occupy the entire purple ocean.

Four purple eyes were in the center of its tall body, looking down at Ahao coldly.

Inside its giant, shiny teeth was a bright purple core.

Dangling purple tentacles swayed beside the core.They light up one by one and fall off by themselves.After each tentacle broke away from the core, it turned into a fish.

These fish have dark purple carapaces, pointed tails, and shiny headshells.

Ahao came back to his senses in the shock.

He had seen this fish before.

They are voidfish.

Tens of thousands of void fish parade around the ray monster as tall as the mountains in front of him, like birds circling around the star gate, with an unspeakable beauty.

Ah Hao finally knew where he had come to - void.

Void at the bottom of the world?

Before Ah Hao came back to his senses, the ray in front of him spoke.

"You did a good job."

Deafening words sounded, and the entire ocean began to vibrate.It sounds like the accent of a thousand voices.

"But I want more! I want more experiences, more memories, more cognitions!"

"what?"

Ah Hao only felt his head buzzing.What he saw and heard in front of him completely exceeded the limit of his imagination.

Why is there such a scene behind the gate of truth?

Why does this monster seem to know him again?
There was a hint of human doubt in the eyes of the ray monster.

But before it could say the second sentence, Ahao had already floated up.

He felt the buoyancy under his feet lift him up quickly.

But in the blink of an eye, he had already floated right in front of the monster.Its four lantern-like eyes stared at him mercilessly.

"I know what you want, it's just knowledge. The knowledge I have is far beyond your imagination. Follow me and you will be able."

The deafening sound became faint.

Ah Hao started to rise faster than he fell.The monster's voice quickly became blurred.

He is like an unstoppable new star, breaking through the sea, breaking through the magma, breaking through the earth's crust, breaking through the sky, breaking through the darkness.
He came from below to above.

This is a place more wondrous than a sea of ​​lavender.

In the black background, there are spheres emitting colorful rays of light floating one by one.

The sphere is like foam in the sun, floating here aimlessly.

His ascent speed slowed down, and a bubble floated past his eyes just at this moment.

It was a bubble emitting bright fire, and inside it was a hard door like black iron.

Ah Hao touched the bubble subconsciously.

In an instant, a scorching smell rushed over.

The wonderful aroma of meat roasted on fire; the unpleasant smell of burnt objects; the smell of noodles when sticking to the pan; the smell of burning when an explosion occurs; the smell of smoke when a fire occurs; the smell of metal when forging of iron flavor.
All the smells related to fire flooded into Ah Hao's nose at once.The memory and knowledge carried in the smell also follow.

Ah Hao felt that he was back to the time when he opened the door for the first time.He once again withstood the baptism of the smell storm.

But today is different.His endurance and information processing ability have been greatly improved, and he will no longer be dizzy immediately like before.

Ah Hao came back to his senses, and immediately withdrew his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered that something seemed wrong.

During the time he was indulging in, more red bubbles floated over from the boundless darkness and gathered around him consciously.

They actively rubbed against him.Each collision brings a wealth of smells and knowledge.

Once touched, Ah Hao will be caught in the smell storm for a while before recovering.

But in this vacancy, there are other bubbles that will come to take the initiative to rub against him.

Ah Hao is like a drowning person, he can only pant heavily between collisions.

It can't go on like this.

It's just too much!

He can't carry so much knowledge!

Ahao used both hands and feet, trying to avoid these sticky bubbles.

He succeeded.

The moment he developed a sense of resistance, the bubbles dispersed automatically.

Only one bubble remained.It was a bubble without light.

In the bubble, there is a simple stone door.

Ahao's eyes lit up, he quickly reached out his hand, and touched the bubble.

"Ho~~~!"

Ah Hao took a deep breath and opened his eyes again.

"Are you awake?"

"The assessment will be over in 5 minutes. Do you want to leave now, or wait until the time is up?"

　This chapter is really difficult to write.Turning around to see that it was past 12 o'clock, G.
