Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 372 The Duke's Attention
"This...what kind of power is this?"

The young man exclaimed in his heart, but did not admit defeat. Instead, he watched with unyielding determination.

His eyes were filled with envy and longing.

"If I had such power..."

"Ok?"

Fudi noticed Oliver's gaze and was slightly moved.

Then he praised.

"Very good, that's the look!

Pick up your sword and continue to attack me!"

Oliver gritted his teeth, forced himself to hold on to his trembling body, and raised his sword to fight again.

This training lasted the entire morning until lunchtime, when Fudi allowed the teenagers to pause and eat.

He went to the villa area on the other side, walked in, and prepared to enjoy his delicious meal.

Just then, several people walked in.

Fudi stood up quickly.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Fudi, no need to be so polite!
Sit down, please sit down!"

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Riley Boli.

He had a handsome face, with deep blue eyes beneath thick golden curly hair. He was the famous nobleman in the city, the heir of the Tulip family...

Tulip Duke!
Fudi nodded slightly, but his eyes swept over the Duke calmly and looked at the people following behind him.

Suddenly, his pupils shook violently.

Because he saw a familiar figure among them!

Why are you everywhere!
He screamed in his heart, feeling the urge of an adventurer who saw a ghost in a quiet castle late at night and wanted to rush out.

"Let me introduce you, this is the historian, Mr. Moonves...

Don't underestimate this gentleman's youth; he is extremely well-versed in various mysterious rituals and related allusions. He is adept at searching through piles of old papers for mysterious clues and the extraordinary secrets held by mystics! "

The Duke of Tulip was completely unaware of the oddity between the two and introduced them solemnly.

Then he asked everyone to sit down and discuss the matter.

"Before, I sent people to track down and investigate the so-called Count of Monte Cristo, also known as Mutrick...

Found clues that a mysterious person appeared around him!

I followed Mr. Moonves's advice and waited and watched, trying to find out the origin of the soul painting, which was also an important clue to the legend of the 'immortality of the soul'!
Now, we have finally achieved a significant harvest!"

Ferdie was absent-minded, listening to the Duke of Tulip's impassioned speech and the announcement of his great discovery.

"That person is most likely using the alias of Ilor, disguised as a mortal, and living on King Street!"

Back, back again!

Fudi screamed in his heart and almost collapsed to the ground.

……

"Yesterday, the Tulip Academy of Art welcomed a groundbreaking exhibition. The Count of Monte Cristo shocked the world with his 'Night Shift' series..."

"Steel tycoon Birmingham Cavendish spent 500 gold coins to buy Mutrick's old work..."

"Old-school master Mo Wendi praised it, saying it's more real than photography! It's the magic of light and shadow!"

"Special Report: Mutrik's 'Optical Magic' - Scientist Bury deciphers the technique. Multiple witnesses claim the great painter secretly used some mysterious prop to assist in his painting..."

……

66 King Street, in the restaurant.

Roy was enjoying his breakfast while reading the newspaper.

He hadn't had any contact with Mutrik recently, but he had been able to learn about his movements from the newspapers.

"He succeeded!"

Roy pondered, savoring the information conveyed above. "Sir Roy, it seems that Mutrik has mastered the technique of using the camera obscura to create realistic oil paintings, and his fame is rapidly rising..."

However, he seemed a little careless and got exposed!

If someone catches me red-handed, wouldn't that be bad? "

At the side, Attia, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit, also saw the report in the newspaper and commented with some curiosity.

"The mixed reviews and criticisms have made it even more of a hot topic...

When he truly masters the technique of soul painting, especially using the pigments I provide, and brings spiritual shock to the world, all doubts will naturally disappear!"

Roy thought about it and told Atidiya.

In fact, the mere technological means of camera obscura is enough to leave a mark in art history and establish its fame.

This is because the art of this era was just beginning and there were not many sophisticated schools.

This technique of correctly grasping the details of light and shadow and perspective and producing a very realistic painting can be said to be a revolutionary advancement.

"However, making soul paint is really difficult...

I've also recently devoted a lot of time and energy to the Fire Bronze Statue, in order to complete the organization's assessment task."

Roy thought about what was happening on his side and frowned slightly, feeling quite helpless.

Fortunately, the progress of the bronze statue is not slow.

This kind of thing is quite troublesome except that refining fire copper requires constantly accumulating finished magic gold products, the other steps are not difficult.

It's nothing more than a waste of time and effort.

Roy plans to spend more than two to three years to collect all these, and there is no need to rush.

At this moment, he frowned slightly and suddenly took out the communication crystal from the space ring.

"Mr. Shelbury, what is it?"

"Mr. Roy, the latest news..."

The tone of the wizard Shelbury was a little heavy, but he told him something not so pleasant.

"As the Southern Railway continues to be paralyzed, strikes are also occurring in surrounding areas...

I'm afraid the gem dust and iron ore you ordered will be delayed!"

"Oh, how long will that delay be?"

"At least half a year. If I'm unlucky, it might take another year or two..."

"That's okay."

Roy said.

In this world on the eve of a technological revolution, the mystics, that is, these extraordinary wizards and wizards, use the power of mortals to form some mysterious organizations, trade with each other, serve each other, and exchange what they have.

Local tycoons like Shelbury have already established a huge business network.

This can be considered as living off the mountain.

But under the premise of not interfering too much with the historical process, there is really no way to deal with these factors that are considered force majeure in the eyes of mortals.

No, even business activities have been affected.

"I'm not in a hurry to use it..."

Roy is now gradually getting used to a life that lasts for half a year or a year or two.

If this happened before the time travel, he would definitely not do it even if it was delayed for half a day or a day or two.

"Don't worry, if that doesn't work, I'll just send an apprentice or a magical pet to bring it to you!"

Shelbury patted his chest and assured.

Roy didn't take the polite words to heart. He was more concerned about the situation the other party mentioned.

At this moment, Roy's expression suddenly paused, and Atidiya beside him also listened attentively, as if confirming something.
