"That's the opposite."

"Is it a rebellion? Could it be that Lady Leila wants Miss to go, but Miss disagrees?"

Han Solo nodded: "That's it."

"hiss--"

Ross turned his head away, not understanding.

From his perspective, Rachel really wanted to be Leila's teammate, otherwise she would not have made the bet with Beckett, nor would she have insisted on her own way and refused her family's request to her.

Why now...

Han Solo knew from the look on his face that Butler Ross didn't understand Rachel.

Nothing wrong with that.

He is the steward of the Marquis's Mansion, not Rachel's steward.

There are many geniuses among Darkwood's descendants. In comparison, Rachel has no outstanding qualities and is unlikely to become a person of real power, let alone a successor.

It's natural that I don't understand her.

Ross quickly gave up thinking and said, "This is a great opportunity for Miss Rachel! Attending the gathering of heroes has great symbolic significance. If it is done, no matter how many people oppose it, the family will definitely give full support. By then, it will be a completely different scene."

Is it?

Han Solo asked, "How many times more support will it be than now?"

Ross smiled mysteriously, "The resources currently allocated to Miss Rachel are just the standard treatment for Darkwood's offspring. If we can get 'full support'... the material supply alone will be more than ten times. As for other aspects, it is difficult to measure with numerical values. Real treasures are often consumables, with a price but no market, and they are rare in the world!"

The development system of "Yellow Hair Simulator" is quite complicated.

Upgrade the seal, recast the seal, fuse the seal, and create a second seal.

Each of these can provide huge improvements.

Talent upgrade, talent recast, talent fusion, and opening up a second talent.

The same reason.

There are potions that permanently increase attributes, blessings that permanently increase attributes, treasures that speed up the acquisition of attribute points, and the list goes on.

Han Solo knows a little about these things.

The Tundra Weaver is excellent, and there is basically no better one at this stage. The Ancient Oak Heart in my pocket is rare, but to be honest, this engraving is stupid.

Han Solo plans to cultivate a talent for himself, as he has no inherent talent yet.

He asked, "Senior, where is the fully equipped alchemy workshop in Arendelle?"

Ross pointed to the backyard: "It's here, you can use it."

Chapter 32 #032 Expert

Darkwood Mansion, Alchemy Workshop.

The housekeeper opened the door with a key and said to Ross nervously, "Master Butler, there is no alchemist in the mansion, so this workshop has been idle... I have people clean it regularly, but the last time the equipment was maintained was, uh, probably last year."

Ross frowned.

The most important equipment in alchemy is undoubtedly the reactor.

Boiling medicine in a large pot over a high fire is something that happened in the last century.

New era, new technology. Today’s alchemy is dominated by closed chambers and autoclaves, and fuel has been changed from wood to coal.

Aviation fuel, washed coal.

Can it still be used if it has not been maintained for a year?

Failure to ignite is a small matter, but if the reactor explodes during the pressurization process, the power will not be small.

Butler Ross pulled open the white cloth, revealing a copper-colored reactor, and asked, "Xiao Han, do you think this can be used?"

Han Solo took a look.

Another look.

To be honest, he had never seen the rocket-shaped metal container in front of him, but the amazing thing was that he actually knew what it was:

"Apprentice Reactor".

He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. This is the most basic one, for beginners to get familiar with alchemy. The pressure it can withstand is too small, and it can't make advanced potions."

Ross was stunned.

Dude, you really understand?

He asked curiously, "Aren't you an alchemy apprentice?"

I don’t know.

Han Solo smiled but said nothing.

A top-level alchemy workshop with complete and advanced equipment is rare in the world. Every famous alchemist has one, because they have financial support.

Asking the masters to pay out of their own pockets would be painful even if they have the wealth.

Fortunately, this is Arendelle.

Ross said without hesitation, "The school district has workshops for rent, but the equipment there may not meet your requirements. Advanced potions are not something that ordinary people can make! Let's go find Professor Trigg."

"Professor Trigg?"

"He is a famous alchemist, very prestigious in the academic world, and currently a professor in Arendelle. He has his own workshop with top-notch equipment."

Ross sent out his messenger to contact Trigg.

A moment later, a raven flew over, turned into a cloud of smoke and pierced into Ross's body. The mana in the form of characters transmitted the message, which echoed in Ross's mind.

He said, "Let's go. Professor Trigg agreed and he is waiting for us in his workshop."

Han Solo smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Senior."

"Small things."

Ross borrowed the workshop, which naturally cost him favors.

This, he judged, was necessary.

First of all, as the steward of the Darkwood family, he needs to express his gratitude. Han Solo helped Rachel;

Secondly, as the president of the Zhiming branch, I have the responsibility to support young people.

Xiao Han looks okay.

First, V-check him 50 to let him see our strength, lest he thinks that the Destiny Weaving Society is dying and will be begging him to attend the "members' discussion meeting" in a few days.

……

……

School District 1, Administrative District.

Arendelle Alchemy Technology Research Institute.

The sun is setting in the west.

The research institute in front of us looked quite old. The building was quite old and not very large.

But this place is the First School District, the core area of Arendelle.

Those who can stay here are all vital departments. Thinking of this, the ordinary research institute in front of me also seems grand and impressive.

I informed the guard at the door and he immediately pointed me in the direction.

Ross and Han Solo went down a spiral staircase to the underground workshop and saw a...

A man chewing leaves.

The man looked to be about 40 years old, with a plump body and slightly bald hair. When he saw the person coming, he hurriedly spat out the leaves in his mouth and walked over while wiping his mouth: "Hey, Butler Ross, you're here so soon? I've been waiting for you for a long time, a long time!"

Ross was a little confused: "Professor Trigg, what are you eating?"

"Young leaves of fragrant grass."

Trigg displays a handful of what looks like mint leaves.

He smiled and said, "I drank a little before, and I was worried about being rude, so I wanted to get rid of the smell of alcohol in my mouth..."

Ross saw that he was wearing a formal suit and asked, "Will it prevent you from doing your work?"

"No, no! If it weren't for the support of the Marquis, I wouldn't be where I am now. What the steward ordered is the top priority."

Trigg smiled.

He looked at Han Solo and asked, "Is this the person who is going to make advanced potions? So young!"

Han Solo smiled and said, "Hello, professor. I am Han Solo."

"A good-looking man, a good-looking man."

Trigg was being polite.

As the professor of alchemy in Arendelle, he has personally taught more than a hundred students over the years.

What kind of genius has he not seen?

Let’s put it this way, alchemy is a difficult subject to learn, difficult to master, and requires extreme skill.

For hundreds of years, generation after generation of talented alchemists have exhausted their wisdom and finally compiled the most basic and most basic alchemical knowledge into a book for people to study systematically.

As for the profound and essential alchemical knowledge, it is still passed down orally from master to disciple until today, and each has his or her own formula.

It’s not that I don’t want to sort it out systematically, it’s that I don’t have the ability to do so and I haven’t discovered the basic rules yet.

Professor Trigg became a master of alchemy before he was forty. Others said he was gifted and a natural alchemist, but he knew best -

If it weren't for the "Book of Chariots" passed down by his ancestors, he would not have achieved anything.

The young man in front of me...

Trigg looked at Han Solo's fingers. They were white and there was no trace of medicine on the nails.

Then look at his own fingers.

The fingers are smoked and the nails are dry and waxy. Chemicals are not harmless. Long-term contact will inevitably leave indelible marks.

This guy named Han Solo is probably another young man in his twenties who has achieved nothing and thinks he is a novelist with wild ideas.

The probability that he could concoct "advanced potion" was infinitely close to zero.

He was about to speak when Han Solo handed him a recipe: "Professor, do you have these things here?"

“…Let me see!”

Trigg took it with a smile, then when he looked down, the smile on his face faded, replaced by an indescribable concentration and seriousness.

The materials listed in the list are completely unrelated and have no connection with each other.

If there was an alchemy apprentice here, he would probably be laughing by now.

But Trigg, the real deal.

He saw through it with just one glance.

The medicinal properties of these materials all have something in common. Two materials with conflicting effects seem to produce a wonderful chemical reaction and evolve into another possibility after the third medicine is added.

It seems... there is a way.

One minute.

three minutes.

Professor Trigg stood still like a turtle, frowning in thought, and the more he looked, the more interesting it became.

"Wait a moment, both of you."

It was so sudden. He said hello and walked outside.

Ross and Han Solo looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Five minutes later, Trigg, wearing a white coat, came over with a basket. He smiled and said, "Mr. Han, all the materials you need are here! I wonder... do you need an assistant? If possible, I hope to participate in this alchemy."

Are you an assistant?
