Chapter 382 The Witch Arrives in the North
Another cruise ship arrived at Belloberg. A group of alchemists from the Witch Workshop stood on the side of the ship and looked at the prosperous city in front of them, with emotions on their faces. An excited expression.
However, among the crowd, there was only one person whose face was full of helplessness and reluctance, which looked completely different from the others.
"Is there already such a thick barrier between us? When did my beloved disciples and I have such a tragic misunderstanding?" This person said in an aria-like tone. She sighed, and at the same time asked Heine, who had been holding her shoulder: "Heine, can't you let me go? I am your teacher after all, right?"
If you look closely, you will find that this person A restraint was placed on her body, and a ribbon made of alchemy was tightly wrapped around her body, restricting her movement and blocking her possibility of using alchemy to escape.
"That won't work. Teacher Wei'er, your words have no credibility anymore. They only let you run away three times because of the relationship between master and apprentice. This time, I won't let you run away again no matter what." Heine said with a look on his face. He was serious and showed deep resentment while speaking.
Feeling the resentment on Heine's body, the teacher named Wei'er could only smile sarcastically, and then couldn't say anything else.
The Witch Workshop received an invitation from Purficott a few months ago. At that time, they planned to come to the North for an appointment after finishing the order in hand.
But at that time, some people pointed out that their alchemy level was insufficient. Even if they came to the north, it would be difficult for them to get the attention of Purficott. If the previous head of the Witch Workshop could be found, they might be able to rely on The powerful alchemy level of the previous leader was favored by Purficott.
After all, although the previous head of the Witch Workshop has always been lazy and gave people a very unreliable feeling, Heine, as her disciple, knew that his teacher was not such a person before. .
Wei Er, who once held the title of Great Sage of Crystallization, was the most outstanding alchemist in the empire at that time. Together with Endymion, the past president of the Magic Association, and Crowley, the past president of the Royal Astronomical Society, they were also known as the three sages of the empire.
However, due to an accident, Weier, who was still called Sandrillon at the time, suffered the backlash of the spell, and her body regressed back to the state of childhood, and even her personality changed greatly.
Heine did not know exactly what happened that year. He only knew that since then, the magicians of the empire had begun to fail, and the astrologers of the Astronomical Society seemed to have lost the ability to peer into the future.
Only if alchemy is least affected, the alchemists of the empire can continue to be active today.
But even so, there is still a clear gap between the alchemy skills that today's alchemists can perform compared to those of the past.
One can imagine how powerful the great crystallized sage was back then, and such a powerful alchemist must be able to create many wonderful sparks with Master Brandlis, right?
This is what Heine thought and expected.
In her opinion, this way the Witch Workshop can get off to a good start in the North. It is worthwhile that she and others spent a lot of effort and energy to capture the teacher, and even struggled with her for more than a month. Moon plays an escape game.
Yes, as the teacher and previous head of the Witch Workshop, Weier had already passed the workshop to Heine, while she herself hid and enjoyed her leisure time.
But this time Heine led others to find her and captured her back to the workshop.
This undoubtedly made Weier very dissatisfied, so after being captured, she looked for an opportunity and escaped again. After all, they were all disciples she taught, who didn't know who was who? The arrangements Heine and the others made could not imprison Weier.
However, Heine has obviously been wary of Weier's move for a long time. After all, as Weier said, they are both master and disciple, who doesn't know who is who?
So Weier, who had escaped, was captured again by Heine and his men before she could escape Langton. The two sides went back and forth several times, but in the end Heine really had no choice, so he used his best alchemy method to tie up Weier, and finally successfully brought her to the north.
But even so, Weier still wanted to escape.
It's not that she has any objections to Purficott, or that she's unwilling to help her disciples. She's just afraid of trouble and doesn't want to deal with the alchemists of the empire anymore.
The accident that year not only caused her body to permanently regress back to its childhood form, but also had a great impact on the extraordinary beings in the empire, especially one who had no trace of his existence. Another person who was erased alongside them.
This shows how serious the consequences of the accident were.
One of the four people who participated in that incident had his traces of existence permanently erased, and the remaining three people each had their own troubles.
The former crystallized great sage's troubles were not only her physical regression, but also the trauma in her soul. This was also the reason why she had always been very lazy.
In addition to her personality, a very important point is that she must take a long period of rest to repair the damage to her soul.
But her efforts have always been a drop in the bucket and her efforts have yielded little results. After so many years, she has only managed to maintain her condition from deteriorating.
With this, she naturally has no way to hold any position in the Alchemist Association. Just as the other two old friends have resigned from their positions, Sandrillon also chose to replace the president of the Alchemist Association. The position was passed to others, and he hid and opened a witch workshop, teaching a few disciples casually, and retired.
But her move was just like Heine now having to take over the Witch's Workshop, which caused great trouble to the Alchemist Association at that time.
To this day, the Alchemist Association is still looking for her, hoping that she can return to lead the Alchemist Association again.
Wei'er, who hates trouble, naturally doesn't want to get back into trouble again, so she wants to run away again.
However, she was not completely unreasonable. After several attempts to escape without success, she still accepted her fate and came to the North. She just hoped that Purficott was too young and did not know her predecessor. The president of the Alchemist Association will not cause her any more trouble.
Of course, in addition to accepting her fate, Weier also placed her hope in the idea that Purficott's Philosopher's Stone could solve her problem.
After all, one of the most well-known functions of the Philosopher's Stone is that it can make immortality elixirs, allowing people to achieve immortality.
Weier wanted to know if the Philosopher's Stone could solve her problems.
It was precisely because of this that she gave up escaping and allowed Heine to take her to the north.
Otherwise, even if his body regresses back to his childhood and his strength is greatly reduced, as a former crystallized great sage, it will be very simple to escape from the confinement of Heine.
After all, Heine was taught by her, so how could she not be able to solve the confinement imposed by Heine?
