After curing the Flaming Bird, Andrew was more and more satisfied with Gong Hao. He decided to keep his promise.
"Glaer, tell me what kind of reward you want. I can satisfy you.”
I want all of you to go to hell... Gong Hao said in his heart.
However, reality was reality after all. Andrew's words were beautiful, but it did not mean that he did not have the intention to test him. In his opinion, Shuiglaer was too smart. He was so smart that he couldn't help but worry that this kid might see through the secrets behind Purgatory Island.
Through his request, perhaps one could see his true thoughts.
If he dares to suggest leaving this place, I'll kill him immediately. Andrew thought fiercely.
However, he did not expect Gong Hao to reply respectfully,"It is my greatest honor to be able to work for the greatest alchemist of the Empire. As a servant, how can I make a request to my master? Servants should be grateful for their master's care, but they should be afraid of their master's reward.”
"Very good. So you don't plan to ask for the reward?”
"My lord." Gong Hao gave Andrew a humble answer."It is my greatest honor to be able to work here. History has witnessed us, and I am working hard for the glory of the empire. If I have any regrets, it would be that I haven't had the chance to meet Master Heinz in the past six months. Of course, this is not a reward I am asking for. I am just asking you to fulfill a small wish of mine.”
Andrew chuckled. Interesting request. Very well, I can give you this chance. I will report your situation and your work to my mentor. I think he will be very interested in meeting you.”
"Thank you for your grace, sir."”
Andrew flicked his sleeves and left.
Three days later, Gong Hao received a message from Andrew. Heinz would meet him on the top floor of the Alchemy Tower.
———————————————
Patrick Hayes was an old man with white hair and beard. He looked no different from Gong Hao's imagination. He was wearing a mage's robe, a comical horned hat, and a wand in his hand.
When Gong Hao came in, Heinz seemed to be conducting some large-scale experiment in his laboratory.
It was different from Gong Hao's imagination. Not all alchemists had to be accompanied by test tubes, fluids, and crucibles. Many alchemists had a certain level of magic cultivation, and their research directions were different. Items such as cauldrons and liquids were naturally needed to make potions, but some of them were not needed.
For example, the research that Heinz was doing now did not require any such things at all.
The floor of the spacious laboratory was filled with all kinds of strange symbols. Magical threads made of special materials covered the floor, forming a huge magic array.
In the center of the formation was a small ring.
It seemed like Heinz was doing something to the ring. He had to make such a big effort.
As Heinz softly chanted, the magic array emitted a huge light. All the light instantly gathered at one point, condensing into a small ball of light that finally condensed on the ring.
At that moment, Gong Hao saw a small black hole suddenly appear on the ring. It absorbed all the light and then returned to normal.
All the crystals placed on the magic array were instantly drained of their energy and shattered into pieces.
Heinz picked up the ring and looked at it carefully. He sighed and shook his head."The spatial fluctuations will increase with the increase in energy. Every time the space increases by one fold, the energy will increase by ten times. The stability of the space will decrease by a hundred times. The duration is…three seconds.”
Almost instinctively, Gong Hao quickly took out a pen and paper from his pocket and recorded it. He suddenly remembered that this wasn't the library, and Heinz's experiment wasn't something he could record. He put it down resentfully.
"I heard about you, kid. You wanted to see me, right?" The old man turned to look at Gong Hao. Come here, come to me."
He looked very dignified.
"You saved my Flaming Bird, nurtured some rare magical plants, and even took on many tasks, managing everything in an orderly manner. What was especially rare was that you always maintained reverence for your master. This was a rare and extremely precious quality.”
"It's my honor to be able to serve Master Heinz.”
Heinz waved his hand to get Gong Hao up and shook the ring on his finger."Do you know what this is?"
Gong Hao shook his head.
At this moment, he looked extremely honest.
"It's a space ring," Heinz said.”
"An interspatial ring?" Gong Hao's eyes were filled with surprise. His current expression was like a big boy who loved to be surprised. He cried out in surprise,"I thought they were lost.”
"That's right, the method to make interspatial rings has indeed been lost. The ones that are passed down now are all leftovers from the Hundred Year War, and each one of them is priceless. However, this doesn't mean that we can't develop it again.”
"So, did you succeed?" The childish voice echoed above the laboratory.
" No." Heinz shook his head regretfully." No." Spatial magic had always been the most mysterious and powerful magic. Both mages and alchemists were fascinated by it. To create an independent space in a small ornament required extremely powerful magic power and a deep understanding of spatial energy. We have to understand the space we are in and the space we want to create, what it is and why it exists. Unfortunately, we haven't made any further discoveries in this area. I can now create an independent space for this ring, but that requires a lot of energy. When the energy was used up, the space would disappear. Sometimes, I wondered if my research direction was wrong. Forcefully tearing open space wasn't a good idea. However, if you didn't forcefully tear open a spatial barrier, would you still want to knock on it and let it open by itself?”
"I think I understand what you mean. You are saying that there are other dimensions outside the one we are in, but they are not connected to us. There is a natural barrier. " What you are doing is to open a path to other dimensions through the interior of an object and isolate it, thereby forming a special independent space. Is that so?”
"No, it's not that simple. The energy required to open up a new dimension is far greater than the energy required to create a spatial item. However, the production of spatial items required a higher level of energy precision. It was like two adjacent rooms with no road leading to each other. If one wanted to go from one room to another, they had to open a hole in the middle of the sealed wall. That required a considerable amount of power. However, the space item did not need to do this. It only needed to dig a small eye on the wall through a medium, and it would have its own independent space. It was worth noting that space wasn't a parallel existence, so you couldn't simply think of it as a wall... Spatial barriers were everywhere, so you could do this anywhere.”
"It doesn't sound very difficult."
" Yes, it doesn't sound difficult. The premise is that the human in that room is thousands of times weaker than an ant when compared to the strength of the entire space.”
"So, with human strength, we can only work on spatial items, but it's almost impossible to break through the wall, right?"”
"That's right, unless there's a hole in the wall itself.”" Yes," Heinz replied." In the Windy Continent, we call that kind of hole the Dimensional Gate.”
"There's a Dimensional Gate in the Windy Continent?”Gong Hao's eyes widened.
"That's right, child."
"Where does it lead to?"
"Abyss."
Gong Hao fell silent.
He suddenly realized that his understanding of this world was still too little, but at the same time, he also realized that if two parallel spaces were compared to two adjacent rooms, then there was at least another way to pass through the wall called the spatial barrier other than the Dimensional Door.
It was the soul, which was also the true reason why he had come here.
However, this world looked more like a Rubik's cube, and there were more than one or two spaces connected to it.
"Alright, let's not talk about my failed product. Since you're already here and I've already spoken to you, if there's nothing else, you can leave. I still have to continue my research."
There was no doubt that Heinz was a crazy person. All he could think about was alchemy. Even if his servants wanted to see him, he would talk to them about alchemy.。。Then, he asked her to get lost.
It seemed that this was the most polite time he had ever been.
For such a person, it was obviously not appropriate to beat around the bush with him. It was better to be direct.
"Master, I have something to report to you." Gong Hao immediately said.”
"Tell me, what is it?"
"It's like this. You know that Lord Lancelot has always been in charge of capturing magical beasts in the forests of Purgatory Island.”
"Yes."
"Some time ago, Lord Lancelot sent me a pot of flowers.”
"That plant that looks like the Ghost Face Flower? I know about this. Have you found anything?”
"Yes, master. I found that it was a Ghost Face Flower, but it was not poisonous.”
"Oh?" " Why?" Heinz was interested." Why?"”
"I guess that Ghost Face Flower has mutated. It was very likely that the seeds of the Ghost Face Flowers were carried away by some kind of bird that was not afraid of poison. Then, they flew all the way to the Purgatory Island and fell there to grow. During the transportation process, the seeds were affected and mutated, so they could not produce poison.”
"Interesting conjecture, but so what?”
Gong Hao deliberately hesitated for a moment before muttering,"Actually, I found out that it was the Ghost Face Flower on the first day, but I didn't dare to say it.”
"Why?"
"Because Sir Lancelot thinks it's not a Ghost Face Flower.”
"You don't want to give him face?"
"In fact…this kind of thing has happened more than once.”Gong Hao continued to speak carefully.
Heinz frowned.
Gong Hao saw that Heinz didn't seem to be angry, so he gathered his courage and continued,"I don't blame Sir Lancelot. After all, Sir Lancelot is a warrior. It's normal for him to have a limited understanding of various magical beasts and magical plants. Actually, it's fine to bring back some plants by mistake, but the reason I'm telling you this is because I'm worried that Sir Lancelot might miss out on some rare species for the same reason…I mean, since Sir Lancelot brought back some plants that he didn't need to bring back, he might also give up some plants that he shouldn't give up, Master.”
" Yes." Heinz nodded." It's entirely possible." However, Lancelot could not be blamed for this. After all, he was only a warrior. Magical beasts were still fine. They had different forms and could be differentiated. Plants…were always a little difficult.”
" That's why I asked to see Master," Gong Hao said immediately." Why don't you send an apprentice to follow Master Lancelot into the forest?"”
Heinz immediately shook his head." No, don't say that it will waste my manpower. Besides, I'm afraid they don't know as much about those magic plants as you do. Alchemists weren't hunters, so there was no need for them to study the living forms of magical beasts and plants. We only considered their uses, and that alone was enough for people to study for a lifetime.”
"That's a pity." "As the last resource-rich place on the continent, there might be many materials needed for alchemy that have yet to be found," Gong Hao said with a regretful expression. If we miss it…"
Heinz's heart stirred. I heard that you've cultivated the Blood Orchid and can see through the mutation of the Ghost Face Flower. You've also read a lot of books in the library. You should know a lot about magical plants, right?”
Gong Hao immediately replied,"As long as it's a plant I've seen before, I can definitely tell."”
"Very good." " Alright." Heinz nodded." In that case, you'll follow Lancelot to the jungle to hunt from tomorrow onwards." With you around, I'm sure there won't be any rare demonic plants that I miss.”
"As per Grandmaster's arrangements."
He had succeeded! Gong Hao shouted in his heart.
He had been waiting for this day since he asked to see Heinz.
From this day onwards, he would be able to enter and leave the castle freely, and walk freely in every corner of Purgatory Island.
However, Gong Hao didn't plan to give up his current job just like that. Heinz was also a little surprised by Gong Hao's diligence.
Before leaving, Gong Hao asked Heinz how to deal with the mutated Ghost Face Flower. Heinz replied indifferently,"If it's useless, just throw it away.”
The moment he walked down the stairs, Gong Hao clenched his small fists and waved them in the air a few times.
This was great. Two problems had been solved at once.
However, if Lancelot knew that the Lotte Flower named after him ended up being thrown away, he would probably feel uncomfortable, right?
This was good too. Anyway, this was Heinz's order. If he wanted to hate someone, he could just hate Heinz.
————————————
Regarding the update, I will explain it here. Fate and the website had already reached an agreement that the number of words updated every month would not be less than 200,000 words (if they could not complete it, they would have to deduct money.)）
Therefore, this month's update was based on 200,000 words. However, I can't guarantee that I can finish 200,000 words by next month. Because everyone knows that not long after the Heavenly Wind ended, I started uploading alchemists. Even though I already have 100,000 words, I don't think it's enough. Everyone knows that back then, Tianfeng also had 100,000 words in reserve, but in the end, the reserve was exhausted in the middle of the year. During that period, I returned to writing and posting on the same day, and the quality of my work declined. Although there was a family reason that led to this result, who could guarantee that there would not be other circumstances that would cause the same situation to happen when I wrote alchemy in the future?
So, my original intention was to upload at least 200,000 words, but the editor urged me to do so. I'll try to write more this month. If I can't reach the standard in my heart, I'm willing to give up next month's bonus and only publish 100,000 words for the time being. Then, I will work hard to maintain the 200,000 words update every month.
All of this was done for the sake of quality. Fate's writing level might not be higher than others, but Fate would definitely write very seriously and diligently. Every time he wrote a piece, he would have to read it over and over again to revise it. He would often write more than ten chapters before going back to revise the previous content.
If anyone paid attention, they might notice that in the early days of Tianfeng, there were basically not many typos. However, in the later stages, the number of typos increased significantly. This was because the manuscript was written on the same day and there was basically no chance to read it more than a few times.
Once the manuscript is sent, I basically won't make any changes.
That's why my novel will never have something like a major renovation period or a temporary halt in updating. I won't be sick today or take a day off. There won't be any obvious contradictions. A certain someone had clearly died in front of him, but he had come back to life later on. He was clearly just a beginner warrior in the beginning, but he was already able to defeat a Saint. This kind of thing would definitely not appear in my novel. However, all of this required a sufficient amount of manuscripts. So, next month is the only time I can't confirm the number of words. However, no matter what, I will strive for 200,000 words a month in 2010. This would basically not change. (Yes, if nothing unexpected happens.)。。If there is, it can only be the final dust of that matter, but as long as it doesn't go to court, it won't affect me much.）
Lastly, I would like to clarify something. It's just that I'm very disgusted with writing words to pull in followers and favorites after a chapter ends. It's not that I don't want to do this, but it will affect my reading mood. That's why I rarely write this kind of content after the story ends. However, I still want to make a solemn statement: I hope that everyone will support the original version and reject the pirated version. Without your support, the author will not be able to survive and will only starve to death.
