Chapter 12 Is it Paracelsus? (5)
Using the underground waterway, Amy and the other hurriedly left the Alchemy Academy and returned to the camp of the garrison. However, the three of them could not relieve the strange liquid for a long time.
Amy suddenly asked Anna: "Your Highness, I have an idea that I can't determine - is that liquid the ocean fire of our Seven Hills Empire?"
"Flame of the Ocean?" Anna was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I have never seen the Fire of the Ocean with my own eyes. What you said is indeed like from the point of immortality when encountering water."
When Amy heard that Anna had never seen the real Ocean Fire, she suddenly became worried. She only knew that the recipe of Ocean Fire was one of the top secrets of the Seven Hills Empire, but she didn't expect that even Anna would not have the chance to contact it. Since that is the case, what is this liquid from the Island Republic?
"I have only seen His Majesty make a counterfeit product, which is really very different from it because the preparation conditions are insufficient. His Majesty also mentioned to me that the ocean fire is truly immortal when it encounters water - but she never said that the ocean fire will explode when it encounters water! The difference between this and the 'unextinguished water' is too great. What did the Island Republic want to use for when it was about to prepare such things in the war?"
Compared to Amy who was worried, Anna seemed much more relieved: "Do you want to say that the Island Republic is preparing to use this liquid to deal with my father's fleet? But the bay has been blocked, and they cannot equip this thing to the fleet that has already gone out to sea, right? If you just guard the Island Republic, even if you install the Ocean Fire, it will be useless. After all, we have Ocean Fire."
However, Amy was not at all at ease. She remembered Ella's battle against "White Shirt" Hafdan. It was a battle that was bound to be defeated, but because Ella rushed to work and imitated the fire of the ocean, the situation turned around in one fell swoop. Ella obviously did not want the Seven Hills Empire to lose the current war. Therefore, Amy must pay attention to every factor that can turn the island republic into victory.
"Tomorrow you will continue to inquire about Paracelsus, and I will go to the square alone to check it out." Amy said, "I always feel that something is going on there too."
The next day, the fire-making platform was still built on the square and raised a little higher on the basis of yesterday. The entire platform was hollow and there was an opening above it, like a trapezoidal chimney.
Above the platform is a vehicle in the shape of a ring. The ring is woven from rattan. The outer and inner rings are raised, and the two middle parts are sunk, which can sit four to five people inside. The hole of the ring is facing the hole of the chimney, and a huge cloth pocket is pulled above the hole. If the cloth pocket is spread open, the area will be dozens of times that of the circular vehicle. However, it is now shriveled and hung high by the two poles next to the platform.
There seemed to be some device at the interface between the cloth pocket and the ring, but Amy couldn't see clearly by the cloth pocket.
The square was closely guarded by guards, and there were many people like Amy watching on the outside of the square.
Amy heard two people talking underground; "I heard that, there will be a second flying experiment tomorrow."
"Flying experiment? It's another time? Didn't the ball that flew into the sky last time to set up a fire platform?"
"This time I want to send people to heaven. Last time I used the Qi element, but the teachers and students of the Alchemy University are now busy refining the fire element. The Governor could not get a large amount of Qi element in a short time, so he used the second plan. This time, he wanted to use a part of the extracted fire element to send people to heaven."
"Save it, it's fine if the element of gas, but the element of fire can also send people to the sky?"
"That's of course. Have you heard of Aristotle's theory? The properties of the element of gas are heat and wet, and the properties of the element of fire are heat and dry. As long as dry becomes wet, fire becomes air. There is no doubt that this flight experiment was also led by Paracelsus, who controls the element of fire. And I also heard that Paracelsus will personally take on this new flight vehicle tomorrow!"
The words "Paracelsus" attracted Amy's attention. She looked at the voice and saw that the person who was talking was a drunkard, his cheeks were red and he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
The person who spoke to the drunkard was a short man. However, judging from his expression, he did not trust much about what the drunkard said.
"How did you know this kind of thing?"
"Hehe, I used to be a student at Alchemy University, Paracelsus is still my classmate. I am, of course, there are channels to get some internal news."
"Come on, I know you a student expelled from the Alchemy University. A few years ago, you swear that an alchemist used alchemy to create people. Such a big thing, but now there is no movement. Are you a story you heard from the bard?"
The drunk man's face suddenly turned red, not sure whether it was because he was drunk or because his lie was exposed.
"You...if you don't believe it, I'll go and drink!"
Amy blocked the drunkard who was about to walk out of the crowd: "Wait a minute, I want to hear something about Paracelsus."
"Ha? Who are you?" The drunk man rolled his eyes at Amy, "I'm going to have a drink, but there's not so much time!"
"Do you want to drink? I'll treat you."
The drunk man grinned, "Okay, ale, two, two barrels!"
Amy took the drunk man into a tavern and ordered two barrels of ale. After a few glasses of wine, the drunk man opened up.
"Miss, you don't look like a local or a businessman who comes to discuss business. What are you here for?"
"Don't ask irrelevant questions. Do you say Paracelsus is your classmate. Is he a man or a woman?"
"Hehe, you're still asking about Paracelsus, don't even know this? Paracelsus is of course a man. He is a great alchemist, arrogant, but he is indeed powerful!"
Amy was a little disappointed. The man said exactly the same thing as John de Rupisissa, the president of the Alchemy University. Maybe he really knew a lot about the real Paracelsus, but Amy was looking for the girl who called herself Paracelsus.
However, the drunk man keenly noticed the change in Amy's expression: "Your expression is not right - why do you ask such a question? Have you ever seen the female Paracelsus?"
Amy also keenly noticed the drunk man's voice: "Do you know about that girl?"
The wine glass in the drunkard's hand suddenly stopped in the air. His pupils became bigger and bigger, until his eyes were covered with bloodshot, he finally remembered to blink his eyes.
