Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 398 The Star Gate Brings You News
Before returning to Agadi, Ahao walked to the corner of the airship deck alone, took out the sandbox, and briefly confirmed the situation with Wende.

"... A small problem, isn't it just a few places to stay? I've arranged them for you." Wen De's rustling voice came out of the box, "I'll be in the waiting hall soon. There are too many people on the road today It's deadly blocked."

"Why is it blocked?" Ahao was a little surprised, "Isn't the Stargate out of service, um, I mean restricted traffic."

The torture just now had such a profound impact on him that Ah Hao changed his words unconsciously.

".Hey, anyway, it's just a bunch of people whose trips have been canceled. They came to the association to ask for an explanation. They were crowded and blocked in a mess. But they are destined to fail. Now the headquarters of the association is in chaos. Take care of them when you have time."

Ah Hao: "What happened to the Arcane Association?"

".It seems that something big has happened. I don't know the details, but the case of the disappearance of the human skin that I was in charge of, all the others have been transferred away, and I am the only one who has been taken advantage of and is still investigating."

Speaking of this incident, the picture he saw last night appeared in Ahao's mind: "I just got some clues about your case not long ago."

Wende's voice became excited: "What clues."

"Let's talk again when we meet, I'll show you something when the time comes." Ah Hao stroked his ring.The broken human skin had already been put away by him after everything was over.

"...that's going to whet your appetite. Well, I'll see you in 10 minutes anyway, since you take off at nine."

The sandbox fell silent.Ah Hao also lowered his head and began to think quietly.

What was the reason for Agadi's reaction?
How much does all this have to do with what happened to Quattro?

While he was thinking, a figure stood beside him: "Sir, the airship is about to take off, please return to your seat and sit down."

"Oh well."

Ah Hao came back to his senses, turned around and found that Blancpain was excitedly calling a large group of people to sit beside him.

Those six or seven alchemists were all unfamiliar faces.They were sitting next to Blancpain at this time, all of them had the same expression on their faces.

—the eyes are hollow, the corners of the mouth are numb.A picture of a life without love that has been emptied by someone.

Ah Hao walked over and heard it, and immediately knew the reason.They have "semi-forced" to become a member of Quattro's reconstruction organization, and they are listening to Blancpain preaching his reconstruction plan.

Good guy, there is really no one else in Blancpain's power.

Osborn, who was "caught" by Blancpain at the beginning, came up from below the deck proudly: "Vice President! Ron said that he also wants to contribute to rebuilding Quattro."

The faces of the people around him immediately changed greatly: "What? I don't, I don't think so!"

Blancpain immediately greeted the past enthusiastically: "Welcome Mr. Ron! With you joining, the reconstruction of Quattro will be just around the corner! The Quattro people are indeed the most united nation."

Not long after, there was another ashen-faced person by the seat next to Blancpain.

Ah Hao grimaced at the corners of his mouth, it turns out that this is how people grow.

It's a pity that the airship is about to launch, and the staff forcibly stopped their crazy "pulling people like a gang" action, otherwise Ah Hao felt that Blancpain could attract a whole boat of people.

Ahao sat next to Luke: "Is it really useful to recruit people like this?"

Luke secretly smiled: "It's useful. I listened carefully just now and found that the vice president actually promised them a lot of future benefits."

"Although they will pay some money and time at present, as long as they can really do what the vice president said in the future, all this will be worth it."

"Anyway, if half of this group of people can stay, it can be regarded as a great success."

Ah Hao sighed: "Blanc Po really has two hands."

While the two were talking, the airship started quietly.In the open airspace, the airship passed the prosperous Fez night market and headed for the Alfa star gate ahead.

Ahao untied the seat belt on his seat in a daze.

He was still reminiscing about what he had seen before.

Luke beside him was completely excited: "Master, what just appeared in the air was Quattro's reflection?!"

Before Ah Hao had time to reply him, Jonas couldn't hold back anymore: "It turned out that Quattro was not destroyed, but was teleported to the star world?!"

During the trip to the star gate just now, Ah Hao saw a "scenery" that he had never thought of.

——The golden disc is hanging upside down in the sky of the astral world.

To be more precise, it was a chaotic city made up of more than half of Quattro twisted together.

It's just that the golden disc is too conspicuous in it.Anyone who has been to Quattro will recognize it.

The golden disc and the ruins of the city stood in the dark purple nebula, slowly rotating.

Compared with the previous few times, this dark purple nebula is much larger.It has gradually eroded the positions of other blue and red nebulae.

The surrounding discussions intensified.

Everyone on the deck who saw this scene was shocked by what they saw.

Karina folded her chest subconsciously and said, "I have heard astrologers say that riding the arcane star gate is the easiest way to see the astral world. Everything in the astral world has its meaning.

"The appearance of the Quattro ruins in the astral world is indeed very important information. Unfortunately, I don't know much about astrology, so I can't deduce its deep meaning."

Lisa couldn't hide her surprise: "But anyway, does this mean that the people affected by that disaster probably didn't die?"

"Yes." Ahao nodded solemnly: "They are now, with a high probability, in that place called Void. It is a very dangerous place."

Luke's eyes became brighter: "No matter how dangerous it is, I will try to rescue my sister and my mother! How will you know if you don't try?!"

Blancpain squeezed through the crowd and walked over seriously: "Have you all seen the scene just now?"

"En." The five of them agreed together.

"Before everyone thought that Quattro was completely destroyed. But after the scene just now, I can feel that many people's attitudes have changed."

"It's normal to give up when there is no hope at all. But as long as there is a chance, more people will be willing to try."

"For those who left Quattro, I am going to persuade a few more people to come and help me. Now is the best time to do this, Lisa and Luke, come and join me."

"Ahao, can you take Karina and Jonas to the residence first?"

"No problem." Ahao gestured OK to Blancpain.

Blancpain's aura is now fully open, and it seems to have returned to the state it was in the battle that day.

Ah Hao patted Luke on the shoulder: "If you want to fight against the void, you can't do it by yourself. Let's go to Dora with the vice president. Then use the sand box to contact."

Luke nodded, more sober than he thought.

The six parted ways.Ahao took Karina and Jonas down the gangway and found Wende who was waiting for them near the exit.

"Hey, just the three of you? Didn't you say there are six people in total?"

Seeing Wende's unshaven beard and dark circles under his eyes, Ah Hao couldn't help worrying about him.

"They have something to do for the time being, and they will come to see us later. It's you, are you really okay in this state?"

Wende rubbed his hair and sighed: "It's just that I've been staying up late lately. It's a small problem. If it doesn't work, you can make me some potion."

Karina thought for a while: "If you want to regain your energy, I have a bottle of [Fatigue Dispelling Potion] here for you."

Wind's eyes lit up when he saw Karina's face.He wiped his hair back a little pretentiously: "Hey, what's the point of this?"

"It's okay, I made it myself. The ingredients of this potion are not rare." Karina took out a light green potion bottle from the small bag she was carrying, and handed it to Wende.

Wende took the potion bottle coyly, with a stronger smile on his face: "You can actually make potions, that's really good."

"Karina is a pharmacist, so it's not unusual to know how to make potions. But, can we go?" Jonas urged in a bad tone.

Seeing the nervous gaze he glanced at Karina intentionally or unintentionally, Ah Hao immediately understood a lot.

"Let's go right away. If there are only three of you, take my car." Wende didn't care about Jonas, but carefully stuffed the medicine bottle into his pocket with a smile on his face.

Wende brought a group of people to Northam Manor.

Ah Hao was not surprised at this choice.

When Wende was first asked to choose a place to live, he had already clearly indicated the identities of these people.As long as Wende or Mrs. Northon think about it carefully, they will know the benefits of letting these people settle in.

Alchemist was originally a profession with greater productivity than combat effectiveness.

As soon as Wende touched it, he got a bottle of energy recovery potion.As long as the relationship is good, he can get more of similar things.

And for Ahao, letting these people live in Northen Manor is also a win-win situation.

In Northen Manor, extraordinary power is a half-open secret.The alchemists like Blancpain can use their abilities more freely here.

After all, Agadi is different from Quattro. If they don't have the habit of hiding their abilities, they may be approached by the Arcane Association every few days.

Wende arranged a whole three-story mansion-style building in the southwest corner of the manor for everyone.There was no one else in the building, and there were more than a dozen empty rooms.There are more than enough people for Blancpain to live in.

Karina and Jonas each chose a room on the second floor, and went in to pack their luggage.

And Wende couldn't wait to pull Ahao and walked to the small garden next to him.

"You said before that there were clues to the disappearance of human skin? How do you say it?"

Ah Hao found a bench in the garden, and took out the broken human skin from the ring: "Here, this is the 'clue' I found. See if it is the human skin you are looking for."

Most of the human skin on the bench was damaged, and it was full of various gnawing, burning, and puncture wounds left by the battle.

Fortunately, the skin part is still intact.

Wen De didn't mind getting started, and propped up his face from behind to look carefully.

The more he looked, the more excited he became: "That's right! This is one of the missing human skins! I have seen portraits drawn by other arcanists in the association. The half-black and half-white hair is so recognizable. The face is also long. almost."

"Where did you find this skin? Didn't you go to Erak to see the branch? How did it get there, and it was broken like this?"

"Found it? I didn't look for her. She ran over to attack me by herself."

"How could a piece of human skin attack you?" Wende smiled and waved his hands, as if to say that you should stop joking.

After realizing that Ah Hao hadn't spoken for a long time, he suddenly turned his head: "Are you serious?"

"That's right, she looked like a real person before. I didn't know it was a monster in human skin until it was revealed in the middle of the battle."

Ahao briefly told Wen De about the previous battle process.

Wende listened with relish: "So its real body is just a black shadow? What kind of monster is that?"

"I don't know." Ahao shook his head, "Actually, I'm not even sure if it died in the end."

"Okay, can you give me this thing?"

Ahao waved his hand indifferently, and Wende happily rolled up the human skin and stuffed it into the space prop: "That's great! The case has finally made progress. Take this human skin back, and I'll write another report. The case is basically It’s all over.”

"If you want to continue the investigation, you have to go to Erak in the field, which has nothing to do with me."

"Well. Speaking of Erak, you may not even think of what I have experienced in the past few days"

Ahao took the initiative to share Quattro's knowledge and disaster with Wende, and Wende was taken aback when he heard it.

".So, the change in the star gate should be related to what happened to Quattro."

Wende frowned, and all the previous happiness disappeared: "You said it like this. It was really last night that the star gate shut down. That golden disc appeared in the star realm at this time. This matter I don’t even believe you when you say there is no connection.”

Ahao nodded: "Anyway, you should talk to the Arcane Association about this. People like Karina and Jonas came to Agadi from Quattro to look for reconstruction materials. They will definitely be willing Contacted the Arcane Association."

"It's an eventful year." Wende sighed, and got up from the bench directly. "It seems that I have to go back to the association to work overtime and write materials. The news you brought is more and more exciting."

"Go. By the way, help me pay more attention to Karina. I guess she will make a lot of alchemy potions, and I am quite interested in those things."

"I won't be sleepy after you say this." Wende regained his energy all of a sudden, "Let me tell you, seven days, no, I will be able to take her down within three days!"

Ahao glanced at Wende angrily: "Is that what I mean?"

"Hey, I understand, but aren't lovers closer than friends?" Wende rubbed his hands excitedly, "Stop talking, let's go. Shall I see you off?"

"Well, I'll go up and talk to them, and then I'll go home."

Ahao knocked on the door, greeted Karina and Jonas, and then returned to the long-lost home in Uptown Agadi.
