The most shameless alchemist in history

"Huh? Red Flash, do you know this Frost Dragon? Can you eat it?" Sakura immediately leaned over and asked curiously.

“Of course I know about the Frost Dragon. It’s an extremely powerful being. I don’t know if it can be eaten, but I do know that it’s impossible for humans to defeat it with their own strength,” Red Flash said softly.

"Wow, that's amazing! Looks like I can't eat it." Sakura patted her tummy and said somewhat dejectedly.

"Durey, they are..."

The generals looked at Sakura and Crimson Flash, and the two asked curiously.

It was clear that these two people had come to the Inspection Department with Du Lei, but they had never seen these two people before and did not know their background.

“I understand the details now. Since you generals haven’t been able to reach a conclusion in your meeting, let’s end this meeting here. I will provide a specific plan to deal with the Frost Dragon,” Dure said calmly.

"Durey, do you really have a way to deal with the Frost Dragon?"

"Whether there's a way or not, we certainly can't solve this. We can only rely on Dure, right?"

"Alright, let's all go home now. We're all exhausted from this, it's time to go back and get some rest."

The generals looked at each other, and after some discussion, they finally decided to adjourn the meeting.

Just as Dure said, they had no way to deal with an event like the Frost Dragon. Instead of wasting time here, they might as well leave it to Dure. Maybe this young man would have a solution.

After the generals left, the right side was empty except for Dure, Sakura, Red Flash, and Wright, who was waiting for Dure at the train station.

"What are the specific details?" Du Lei asked after sitting down at the conference table.

The generals were making a lot of noise, one after another, but they didn't get to the point. So Du Lei still didn't have a clear clue in his mind.

"Reporting to the Inspector General, the situation is very bad. We have already been attacked by the Frost Dragon. A large number of buildings in Frost City have been destroyed by the Frost Dragon, and many civilians have been injured as a result," Wright reported the specific data.

“That’s not what I want to hear. I want to know why the Frost Dragon attacked Frost City. There doesn’t seem to be such an event in history, does there?” Dure asked calmly.

"This report is from the Chief Inspector. Historically, there has never been a case of a Frost Dragon attacking Frost City. This is the first time such an event has been documented," Wright continued in his report.

“I’m not asking about the report or the number of times it has occurred. I want to know why, why the Frost Dragon suddenly attacked Frost City, what happened that would drive it to do this?” Dure shook his head and asked. What Wright had just reported was not the answer he wanted.

“This is still under investigation…” Wright said hesitantly.

"Under investigation? But if I remember correctly, the generals just told me that the Frost Dragon Washing Machine has been in Frost City for three days. That means you've spent three days and still haven't figured out what's going on. Is the Inspection Department becoming more and more useless?" Du Lei said angrily, raising his voice in a reprimand.

"Sir, it was our fault for not doing things properly!" Wright immediately admitted his mistake, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

There is no doubt that he is under immense pressure regarding this matter.

He knew before that this former chief inspector was known for his decisive and ruthless approach to things, and now, facing the chief inspector, the pressure was so great that he could hardly breathe.

"You may leave. I will handle this matter. Order all members of the Inspection Department to return to the Inspection Department and await further orders," Du Lei said coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

Wright immediately went out to relay the order, without daring to hesitate for even a moment.

After leaving the meeting room and walking into the corridor, he found that his back was soaked with sweat, which made him tremble with fear as he recalled the scene just now.

"He really is the same as the rumors say, a domineering man," Wright remarked.

Du Lei did not stay in the Inspectorate for long.

While Wright went to gather all the members of the Inspection Department to interrupt their current mission and return to the Inspection Department to await orders, Durei took Sakura and Red Flash to another place.

He originally intended to go to Restia's house to find her, but he learned that the commander of the Griffin Legion was not at home at the time, but at the Griffin Legion's headquarters.

This surprised Dure, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense. Soon he arrived at the Griffin Legion's headquarters.

"Halt! Who are you?" A young guard stopped Du Lei and shouted at him sternly.

“I’m here to see Restia. She’s at the military headquarters right now, isn’t she?” Dure stated his purpose.

"Who are you? How dare you address General Restia by her name like that? That's extremely impolite. Besides, General Restia is very busy right now and you can't just see her whenever you want. Get out of the way right now, or I'll kick you out." The young guard waved his hand, clearly intending to shoo him away.

"Hey, we're here to find someone, why are you trying to kick us out?" Sakura asked, somewhat annoyed.

"I've already been quite lenient with you. If you don't leave on your own, I'll have to take drastic measures," the guard said threateningly, raising his voice.

His attitude made Sakura even angrier, and she went up to argue with him.

"What's going on here?" Just then, an officer heard the commotion at the door and came forward to ask.

"Sir, there were a few suspicious men who insisted on going to the military headquarters to see General Restia, but don't worry, I've already driven them away," the guard said confidently.

"Hey, we're just going to see that person, and Du Lei said he knows him, so why are you all trying to stop us from seeing our friend?" Sakura said angrily.

“You bunch of bastards, I was being quite polite to you earlier, but now that the officer is here, you still dare to be so insolent, forcing me to arrest you all, right?” The guards immediately stepped forward to arrest them.

"Wait a minute!" the officer immediately reprimanded and stopped the guards.

"Sir, I can handle this. There's no need for you to do it yourself." The guard assumed the officer was angry and blamed him for his incompetence.

"You wouldn't happen to be... Chief Du Lei of the Inspection Department, would you?" the officer asked in surprise after a careful examination.

"I am Du Lei." Du Lei nodded slightly.

"Ah, it really is Commander Dure. I'm so sorry, the new guard doesn't recognize you. I'm sorry for the trouble!" The officer immediately apologized after recognizing Dure.

“It’s alright, ignorance is no excuse. Is Restia in the military camp right now?” Dure shook his head, not taking the matter to heart at all, and asked.

"Yes, yes, General Restia, she's at headquarters right now," the officer said, nodding emphatically.

“Then take me to see Restia,” Dure said softly.

"Understood, Commander Dure, please follow me." The officer immediately waved for Dure to come with him into the military camp.

"Sir, this..." The guard was really puzzled. He couldn't understand why this officer would treat this suspicious person with such courtesy.

"This is Inspector General Du Lei of the Inspection Department. Are you blind? Just keep to your duties. Now, Independent Commander, please come here." The officer led Du Lei and his entourage into the military headquarters.

Meanwhile, in the military headquarters office, Restia was bandaging her wounds, her body wrapped in bandages from her battle with the Frost Dragon.

"The legendary Frost Dragon is indeed that powerful. Even with all my strength, I couldn't harm it in the slightest. Now I'm in this state. If the Frost Dragon launches another attack at this moment, then Frost City will be in danger." Restia recalled the battle with the Frost Dragon before, which left her with lingering fear.

At first, she was somewhat confident, believing that if she went all out, she could at least hold her own against the Frost Dragon for a while.

However, when she charged at the Frost Dragon and was completely defeated by it in just one exchange, she realized that there was a huge gap between her and the Frost Dragon, a gap that could not be bridged by her imposing presence or bravery!

947 Military Guest

"This damn body needs to get better soon, otherwise no one will be left to protect Frost City!" Restia said, slamming her fist on the table in frustration.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

This immediately put her on alert. She hurriedly dressed, not wanting her subordinates to see her in such an injured and disheveled state.

After all, she is the pillar of this army. If something happens to her, morale will definitely suffer a heavy blow.

After all, the Griffin Legion had suffered a great defeat and heavy losses before this, and everyone's morale was very low. It was only because she stood up and encouraged everyone that they were able to cheer up and protect Frost City.

"Who is it?" Restia asked coldly.

"Sir, we have a guest." Someone reported from outside the door.

"What guests? I'm busy today and can't see any guests." Restia assumed the visitors were just some of the high-ranking officials from Frost City.

After all, she had met with several groups of people in the past two days, all of whom were trying to find out, under the guise of visiting, whether they could help her defend against the Frost Dragon's attacks.

This annoyed her so much that she never wanted to see these people again.

"General Restia is quite the busy man, isn't she? Does she not even want to see me?" A cold voice rang out from outside the door.

This surprised Restia.

"That's Dure's voice, is that you back?" Restia exclaimed in surprise.

Now, within Frost City, she doesn't want to see anyone else, except for Dure.

After all, when the Snow Kingdom faced a crisis before, it was entirely she and Dure who turned the tide and saved the Snow Kingdom from the crisis.

In particular, Dure played a crucial role in this, and she witnessed firsthand that the guy had the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous. If it weren't for Dure, the Snow Country would have been torn apart long ago, and it wouldn't be in its current state.

"Since General Restia doesn't have time to receive guests, then I'll take my leave," the person outside the door said softly.

"Durey, if you say another stupid thing, I'll be waiting for you to come back!"

Restia quickly stepped forward and opened the door.

Now is the time when she needs help, and Dure's return is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for her. Naturally, she won't just stand by and watch Dure leave.

"General Restia, you..." The officer had never seen this female general, known for her iron-fisted rule, so panicked that he was stunned for a moment.

"Durey, you finally decided to come back? Do you know what big things have happened in Frost City lately?" Restia didn't have time to deal with the officer; she questioned him directly.

“I was out running some errands and was a little delayed, so I’m only just getting back to Frost City. I didn’t expect to run into something like this. But speaking of which, Restia, are you really alright? I heard you fought the Frost Dragon before. Do you have any particular thoughts on that?” Dure asked with a smile.

"You ask me what I think? Why don't you go fight it and then I'll ask you what you think?" Restia said irritably.

"I was just joking because we haven't seen each other in so long, you don't have to take it so seriously."

"This isn't about being serious or not, it's about how irresponsible you are. But speaking of which, who are these two people, Dure and Dure?" Only then did Restia notice the two people behind Dure, and she asked in surprise.

"Well, that's a long story. Could you let me in first and we can talk about it then?" Du Lei said, pointing to the office.

"Alright, come in, all of you." Restia then ushered them into the office and closed the door, leaving the officers speechless.

After arriving at Restia's office, Dure told her about the places he had been to in the past year, and also gave a brief introduction to Sakura and Red Flash, who had returned to Frost City with him.

"I've heard about what you've done in the past year. I should say, as expected of the Chief Inspector, you've caused a huge stir wherever you go. Whether it's the Land of Swamp, the Land of Rain, or the Land of Flame and the Land of Lightning before, you've made quite a fuss. Your name, Lord Dure, has been frequently featured in the newspapers," Restia said sarcastically.

"Well, I didn't really do anything remarkable. Maybe I'm just unlucky and always run into bad luck," Du Lei said, waving his hand.

"Anyway, you're finally back, so I don't know much about things like the Sealing Stone Tablet. But right now, the most urgent thing isn't the Sealing Stone Tablet, but the Frost Dragon." Restia put away her joking tone and said seriously.

“The Frost Dragon? Of course I know about that, and I have a grudge against it that I need to settle,” Dure said after a moment of contemplation.

"What grudge could you possibly have against the Frost Dragon?" Restia asked in surprise.

"Let's just say there's a bit of a grudge between us," Du Lei shook his head, not intending to go into details.

“Alright, but the Frost Dragon’s power is beyond your imagination. I only had one encounter with it, and I was utterly defeated,” Restia said seriously.

"Of course I know how powerful the Frost Dragon is, but no matter how powerful it is, I have to give it a try." Dure knew exactly what he was going to do, after all, he had experienced the power of the Frost Dragon many years ago.

“Alright, Dure, you’ve always been a cautious person, and I trust you won’t do anything foolish. So, is there anything I can do to help you?” Restia asked.

"Actually, the main reason I came to see you this time, Restia, is to ask you about the Frost Dragon..." Dure explained his purpose.
