Chapter 288 Mentor and Disciple

Kymer Struer walked through the small town towards the Chishui River.

Today's Border Town is already a bustling place, it's hard to imagine that it was just an outpost set up to detect the movements of evil beasts in the past. There is a black-gray hard ground under your feet, and there are neatly arranged bungalows on both sides of the street. Unlike the residential buildings in the community, these houses are not used for living, and the space is much more spacious than residential buildings, which are a bit like a small warehouse.

According to His Highness, these houses will be sold in the future.

In front of the bungalow is a deep drainage ditch covered with stone slabs, as if drawing two boundaries for the black street. In addition, a big tree will be planted beside the road at intervals, sandwiched between two bungalows, and its branches move closer to the center of the road, which can not only provide shade and rain, but also give people a pleasing feeling.

It has to be said that the biggest feeling for him here is the regularity.

Whether it is houses, roads, ditches and trees, they are all located in well-planned positions, and the degree of attention is no less than that of noble gardens. The feeling of walking in Border Town is comparable to that of the main urban area of ​​Chishui City—even though the buildings in the latter are denser and larger in scale, the extremely coordinated arrangement makes these ordinary houses exude a unique charm. beauty. This feeling overwhelms the hugeness of the individual, and shows a higher level of grandeur as a whole.

Just like those uniform chemical formulas, he thought, this is the beauty brought by order.

Now Kaimo is quite famous in the small town, passers-by will nod to him and respectfully call him Lord Sage. However, he prefers the title of master of chemistry to sage, but it is a pity that His Royal Highness Roland said that he can only be awarded this honor after comprehending "Intermediate Chemistry".

Walking out of the central area, you can see the Chishui River that traverses the western border. The number of laboratories along the river has increased to four, but the latter two can only be temporarily idle because there is not enough manpower.

Kaimo was about to call a few apprentices to complete the tasks His Highness ordered when a soldier wearing the uniform of the First Army walked over.

"Your Excellency, a sailboat has arrived at the dock area, carrying more than fifty... civilians," he said after saluting, "Because there are too many people, and they don't look like businessmen, so the guard stopped them Come down. One of them said he wanted to see you, he claimed to be an alchemist from Chishui City, and his name was—"

"Chames!" Kaimo grabbed the soldier's shoulder excitedly, "Take me to him quickly!"

...

He led the soldier to the dock area, and a familiar figure came into his eyes—it was indeed Chames.

"Master Tutor!" The other party also spotted Kaimo immediately, and immediately waved his hands at him.

"These are the alchemists and alchemy apprentices I invited," he walked up to the captain of the guard, "let them all in, and I will take them to the city hall for registration."

"Yes, sir. But please allow me to send a team to escort them."

"No problem."

It is said to be an escort, but it is actually monitored and controlled, so that no one will leave the team and mix into the center of the town. However, these are the rules set by His Royal Highness, and Kai Mo has no intention of interfering.

"Master Tutor, what's the matter with them? Why is there someone in a remote town who is dedicated to guarding the pier?" Chames, who was let go, walked quickly to his side and complained with some displeasure, "And Chad is bigger than a big city." The city guards are even stricter, they even have to ask about the origin of their names, and I haven't changed their minds with Silver Wolf."

"Silver Wolf?" Kaimo asked with great interest, "How many?"

"Of course it's one," Chames was slightly taken aback.

"Hahaha," he stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Of course it won't work. You must know that their salary is around fifteen silver wolves per month."

"Ten... fifteen pieces?"

"Well, compared to those city patrols who live by extorting merchants and travelers, the First Army is much more comfortable. But because of this, extortion, plundering or taking private property are strictly prohibited, Once discovered, he will be expelled from the army immediately and sent to a dungeon for trial." Although Kaimo is not an official official of the city hall, he has a certain understanding of these upper-level policies after attending several meetings on behalf of the Minister of Chemical Industry.

"Could they really be able to control their own hands?" Chames asked slightly suspiciously.

"There are some things I can't control, but they are all distributed to mines." He curled his lips and said, "Didn't you notice the uniqueness of this town when you came?"

"Uh... there are quite a few," the young alchemist scratched his head and said, "For example, along the river, it seems that many people are cutting down trees and building roads, and they are already so far away from Border Town, where exactly do they want to go? And what are these iron towers on the river bank used for? To store water for drinking?" He paused, "That's right! Before arriving at the pier... I actually saw an iron bridge under construction! It's not wood or It's not stone, I'm sure it's made of iron!"

"And it's much longer than the bridges I've seen before, isn't it?" The chief alchemist smiled slightly, "So don't bring the life experience of Chishui City here, this is a completely different city, of course... now It's just a town, but it's surprising enough. Just like the content in "Elementary Chemistry", until you have seen it with your own eyes, you will never think that there is such a "possibility" in the world. "

For some reason, when he said these words to his former apprentice, he felt inexplicably happy and happy. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he already regarded himself as a member of Border Town, enjoying it as much as showing off his new home to guests.

...

After completing the registration, the apprentices handed over to the city hall officials to arrange accommodation, and Kaimo Strire directly dragged Chames back to his residence.

"Although I knew you would accept my invitation in the end, I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"I..." Chames lowered his head in embarrassment, "I should have promised you before."

The chief alchemist smiled. He was obsessed with alchemy, but he was not ignorant of world affairs. Chames did not choose to leave at first, most likely because he had expectations for the lord, hoping to obtain the chief position with the two-acid method. It wasn't until Capola became the new chief that he still had a lot of prejudice against him, which led to his determination to leave Chishui City.

However, Kai Mo didn't care about this small thought, and yearning for the position of the chief of the workshop was the ultimate pursuit of every alchemist.

"Don't worry about the previous things. Alchemy is meaningless here, and the glory of an alchemist is also not worth mentioning. Here, there is only one thing worth pursuing: chemistry."

"I see." Chames took a deep breath.

"Although you can definitely get an independent house, but sleep here tonight, the same as before... We haven't had a good talk for a long time."

When he was teaching Chames alchemy techniques, he had a long talk with the young disciple all night long, and if he was sleepy, he would huddle on a bed and fall asleep.

The other party obviously understood what he meant, and said excitedly, "Yes, mentor!"

After dinner, the two of them went to the study room, and Kyle Struer carefully moved out the "Elementary Chemistry".

"Is this the ancient book you admire so much?"

Chames solemnly turned to the first page and read it carefully. And Kaimo stood aside, pointing out the puzzles for him. This scene seemed to go back to a few years ago, and the other party became his disciple again.

Now that Chames and more than 50 new apprentices have arrived, he has enough manpower to test the large-scale production of sulfuric acid, and at the same time, the other two chemical laboratories can also be operated. Kaimo thought to himself proudly, the most important thing is that His Highness should fulfill his promise and hand over "Intermediate Chemistry" to himself.
