"A potion to restore hair color?" Ella put her body forward, but asked cautiously, "Is it poisonous?"

"No, I tried it with a cow! The cow's hair suddenly turned golden!"

"Don't keep talking about that cow!" Ella shouted: "Have you tried it with a mouse? Are you dead?"

"Not dead either!"

“Um…”

Ella stared at Dan suspiciously. She had suffered from Dan's potion, so she could not trust her at all:

"Where are flies? Where are mosquitoes? Have you tried them?"

Dan scratched his head: "There are indeed mosquitoes that have died inside, but I think they should have drowned... Even if I want to try, I have to find the mosquito's mouth first?"

"Why, Swedish King, you were blonde like me before?" Dust interrupted, "How beautiful is blonde? Why don't you drink the medicine?"

"Well, although I think blonde hair is beautiful, my uncle said that the authentic people from the Qiqiu Empire are all black hair..."

"Your uncle? Are you talking about Anna's father? What does he know!" Dust patted Ella's shoulder carelessly, "I want me to say that beautiful blonde hair can attract the attention of the enemy to strengthen your swordsmanship!"

"There is still such a saying? Then... OK."

Ella took the potion handed over by Dan, looked carefully for a few more times, and then drank it suspiciously.

"Speaking of this, I was tied up when I drank the potion last time..."

"What? He has done such a thing? I'll teach him a lesson now!"

Dust took out a thick rope from somewhere, and used exaggerated movements to hang Dan for several rounds, tied him up firmly:

"Is this a relief? It's not OK. I'll take him out and throw him into the river!"

Looking at the rope on Dan's body, Ella didn't know what to say for a moment: "Master, you have taught me this binding method before... I will just break it away?"

"Ah? I haven't noticed you, disciple. I've been tying myself forever, and it's easy to tie it!"

Dust grabbed a rope and twitched it. At this moment, Dan finally screamed in pain. Ella couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, Master, I know you want to help him, but I've said I don't mind anymore. You'd better go out first. I want to say something to him alone."

Dust patted Dan on the shoulder, showed a look of "You should do it yourself" and left the room.

Only Dan and Ella were left in the room. Ella lay quietly on the chair waiting for the potion to take effect. The moonlight shone into the room, as if it had brought time back several years ago.

Ella closed her eyes and shook the chair slightly. The old chair made a "squeak, squeak" sound on the wooden floor.

"Dan, I want to thank you for something. When I was a slave, you handed the sword and shield to my hands."

"That's to offer you to the King of the Beast..."

"No matter what, the identity of the Shield Girl helped me, and also helped Amy that night. So I really don't have the idea of ​​asking you for guilt. Don't kneel on the ground, get up."

After hearing Ella say this, Dan grabbed the corner of her clothes and stood up carefully.

"You were the first alchemist I met. At that time, I didn't know much about alchemy. Now, thinking about it, your technique is considered a master of alchemists - you can graduate from the Alchemist Academy in the Island Republic and be able to discolor my hair. Most of the alchemists I have seen have spent their entire lives studying the transformation of metals. The so-called research results are just to create a few pieces of artificial metals that look like gold but have completely different properties."

"You are wrong, King of Sweden. Actually, I also devote most of my energy to studying metal transmutation."

"Yes." Ella sighed, "The only alchemist who is not interested in philosopher stones, including me, is probably the famous Paracelsus."

"Not all alchemists respect Paracelsus, I am one of them," Dan said. "Paracelsus used alchemy to make medicine and understand the human body. It seems that it makes the use of alchemy more widely, but in fact it makes alchemy an accessory to disciplines such as medicine. It is said that he is pharmaceutical technology, which I can accept. But alchemy is a discipline that studies the principles of material transformation. It is not aimed at philosopher stone. Can it really be called alchemy?"

Ella couldn't help but open her eyes—this was the first time she heard Dan's view.

She saw a little anger on Dan's face. Although he was so arrogant that he didn't dare to show up not long ago, he began to get angry when he talked about this academic problem.

"It's not just me, there are many alchemists hiding around the world for research, just to be able to overcome Paracelsus. If his doctrine becomes mainstream, alchemy will be devastatingly hit!"

As he said that, Dan suddenly approached Ella and asked in a very serious tone:

"King of Sweden, tell me the truth. You have been exposed to so many ancient documents. Have you really found a way to make philosopher stones?"

"Many ancient documents have mentioned the method of making philosopher stones..."

"I know, but what is the reality? King of Sweden, you are the alchemist who is second only to Paracelsus in this era. I want to know your true view."

Dan's problem made Ella look away and looked up at the roof that had nothing:

"When I was still in the palace of the Qiqiu Empire, I excerpted all the content about the Philosopher Stone, made it into a list, and compared it to watch it. Then..."

"Then I found that the contents of different authors about Philosopher Stones look similar, but when you look closely, it is contradictory. Even the descriptions of Philosopher Stones in different works by the same author are contradictory, right?"

"Have you finally discovered it too?" Ella nodded, but added, "Alchemy often uses code words, and I feel that it is a contradiction. Maybe there is something wrong with the solution..."

Dan cursed: "Solution, solution. I have had enough of these documents. Who knows whether they really have knowledge or are pretending? It's useless, it's useless!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What should you do according to your opinion?"

It was a very normal question, but Dan was so scared that he took a few steps back and shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't know, I don't know! Maybe what they said is true, maybe they are all liars, who can believe it? No one can believe it! Only the three great Hermes can be believed!"

Dan's spirit calmed a little when he said "the triple great Hermes":

"Yes... and the three great Hermes. I have been praying to him for the past six months. He also noticed me and occasionally talked to me in my dreams. As long as I continue to pray, I will soon be able to master the true mystery of the Philosopher Stone!"

At this time, Ella finally understood why the alchemy manuscript on the table was full of prayer. Looking at Dan, who was gradually becoming excited, she felt a little sad in her heart.

"Dan, is your magic a little stronger than before?"

"How do you know?" Dan looked at Ella in amazement. "It used to be natural, but now it feels like it's almost to the elf level."

"Then, I hope you can become a great magician."

"It's not just a magician, but also a great alchemist who has mastered the mystery of the philosopher stone!"

"Well." Ella nodded, "a great alchemist."
