All the members of the [Other Shore] had gone out, leaving only Jolian and Ms. Vesir to guard the place.
Ms. Vesir chatted with Jolian for a few words, handed her a book, and then went upstairs.
Jolian found a random seat in the hall and sat down to check the slightly yellowed ancient book in her hand.
According to what the lady said, this was something the original owner had used.
It recorded a lot of alchemy, hoping it could help her, who had no memory at present...
Coincidentally, Little An was also very curious about the things in this world.
"Hands are the most important things for an alchemist. Under normal circumstances, do not use them to fight?"
This passage was on the first page of the book, and it was specially bolded, as if the author was afraid that the reader wouldn't see it.
Jolian read this sentence repeatedly, and her eyes unconsciously turned to her right hand.
To be precise, it should be the ring on it.
Based on her research overnight, this ring should be an alchemical weapon for combat.
"Is this... knowingly breaking the rules?"
She shook her head and continued to turn to the next page of the book.
[Simple Amplification Alchemy Array]
[A small - sized array that can be arranged on alchemical utensils, mostly used to amplify destructive power]
Below was the drawing of the array and the items for exchange to draw the array.
"This drawing of the array... why does it look so much like a circuit board?"
Jolian looked at this familiar thing and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just then! The column of exchange items in the book suddenly changed!
The original "monster corpse" was rewritten into a paragraph of distorted text.
"What...?" This sudden change caught Jolian off - guard.
"Scarlet... Scarlet eyes!"
"Slap"
The book dropped onto the table, and Jolian's vision blurred for a moment. She seemed to see a huge eyeball staring at her.
"Exchange it..."
A gender - indistinguishable whisper swirled in her mind. Jolian slowly and dazedly raised her right hand.
On her originally fair hand, a hideous wound gradually split open.
"Smash!" A sound of something being knocked over came from upstairs, and Jolian woke up as if from a dream.
She suddenly stood up, but her legs seemed to disobey her, causing her to fall back to the ground.
"What on earth is this thing!"
Jolian gasped for breath, and fear was hard to hide in her eyes.
If she hadn't come to her senses just now... and chose to exchange, something terrible would have happened, right?
"Boom!"
But before she could think more, the guild door was kicked open again, and a flat - chested pink - haired girl swaggered in.
"Surprise!"
The pink - haired girl stared at Jolian, who was on the ground, and an eerie silence filled the air.
"What... is this a碰瓷? Why did you fall as soon as I came?"
Jolian stood up, holding onto a chair beside her.
She didn't know why, but every time she saw those words, she became extremely weak.
"Who are you...?" Just as she was about to ask who the other person was, she suddenly saw a pink dog - head tattoo on her bare arm.
She was from the [Crow Dog].
"Boss, slow down. Be careful of those tender - looking ones launching a sneak attack."
Just then, a group of people with the same dog - head tattoos rushed over.
Seeing this, Jolian felt that things were getting bad. They were here to raid the base!
"Huh? You're not dead?" The leader of the group looked at Jolian in surprise.
"Ah? You know this person?" The pink - haired girl looked at the speaking man with a strange expression.
The man quickly explained, "Boss, you're being face - blind again. Isn't this the person you beat up yesterday!"
"Hmm? Is that so?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the pink - haired girl disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Before Jolian could even react, she was grabbed by the head and slammed into the pillar behind her.
"Oh~ I remember now. You're the stupid asshole who blew up a forest with life alchemy yesterday. Hahaha~"
The pink - haired girl almost burst out laughing, clutching her stomach.
Here's what happened. Yesterday, she received a mission from the guild master, which was to ambush the alchemist from the [Other Shore].
At first, the pink - haired girl wasn't interested, but the guild master told her that the opponent was very strong, even on a par with the [Ice Emperor].
How could she stand hearing this? You know, the person she most wanted to challenge was Yimansa.
But the other person hadn't shown up recently, so she settled for the next best thing and went to find Jolian to fight.
But the result left her extremely disappointed. This Jolian wasn't strong at all!
The whole person seemed like they were drunk. Not only were her kicks weak and feeble, but she also kept drawing the alchemy array wrong!
Are you here to be funny?
So, in a fit of anger, she directly broke her right leg.
It seemed that the intense pain made Jolian a bit more sober. Just when the pink - haired girl thought she was going to get serious, the other person directly missed with the life alchemy...
Dude! Are you drunk on fake liquor! You missed with a big move that you can't use many times in a lifetime! Can you be any more ridiculous!
Looking at Jolian who was slowly falling down, the pink - haired girl suddenly had the thought that... she had been tricked by the guild master?
Immediately, she rushed back to the guild and grabbed the old guild master by the collar and gave him a good beating.
Yes, you heard it right. She gave him a good beating.
The guild master of the [Crow Dog]: "You said Jolian was weak? That can't be right. Her strength is very strong. Even that little girl from the [Ice Emperor] can't beat her..."
"Old man, what the hell are you talking about! That loser can beat the [Ice Emperor]? I'll eat shit upside - down if that's true."
The pink - haired girl rubbed the big bump on the back of her head from being hit, cursing non - stop.
As a result, she got hit again.
"Little girl, can't you keep your mouth clean!"
"Stupid asshole, if it weren't for you yesterday, I wouldn't have been beaten so badly by that old bastard!" As she spoke, a black - red flame ignited in the pink - haired girl's free hand.
Jolian, who was already weak, was knocked so hard by her that she was seeing stars and didn't even know who she was.
"You don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the Ice Emperor! Don't insult my opponent!"
As she spoke, she let go of Jolian and punched her in the head.
At this critical moment, the flame on the pink - haired girl's hand suddenly disappeared.
It was as if she had hit an invisible wall of air, and her fist couldn't move any further.
"What the hell?" The pink - haired girl tried to pull her fist back, but her whole body couldn't move.
"Whoosh~"
Jolian leaned her head against the pillar, breathing weakly.
A crack slowly appeared on her flawless face.
A scarlet eyeball stared quietly at the pink - haired girl.
"Run! Run quickly! You'll die!"
The girl's whole body was trembling with fear. She, who was always fearless, now just wanted to escape from here.
"Move, move quickly!" The pink - haired girl desperately tried to move her body, but it was as if she was welded to the ground. She couldn't even move a finger.
"What's wrong with the boss? Why is she just standing there?" The lackeys at the door were confused as the pink - haired girl didn't move for a long time and just stood there stupidly.
"Could it be... the boss has a crush on that white - haired girl?"
"If that's the case... it's not hard to understand. That white - haired girl looks... well, those who know know... it makes people can't help but want to rush at her."
Ah, if the pink - haired girl could move now, she would definitely beat these idiots whose minds were full of dirty thoughts to death.
I'll rush your grandpa! My life is almost gone! What the hell is there to rush for!
