Chapter 126 Looking for clues
After explaining everything clearly, Albedo took Samuel back to the laboratory to continue the class.
He could tell from the knowledge he had explained in the morning that even though Samuel's personality had changed, his interest in alchemy had not diminished, and as Xueshan had observed, he was still very talented.
He guessed that maybe it was because it was related to his birth in human form.
Just like when he was born, he was introduced to alchemy only after his master introduced his life experience and the structure of alchemy.
"'Black earth' is the origin of alchemy, and it is also the original state."
“Chalk is the beginning of change, the removal of impurities and the readiness to receive all knowledge.”
Albedo spoke the professional terms of alchemy attentively and wrote alchemical formulas on the blackboard.
This involves the foundation of alchemy. All other alchemical methods that followed were derived from this point.
If you don't understand this and only learn the following words, you will not be able to create new alchemical methods on your own and can only blindly imitate others.
Only when you have learned the basics can you have ideas to extend.
Samuel should have listened attentively to such important knowledge.
But more than once, after writing the formula, Albedo turned around and found that he looked absent-minded.
Albedo could guess the reason. It was probably the words "Eula is missing" that disturbed his thoughts.
Xiaofeng...are you going to find Eula?
He glanced at the eavesdropping staff around him, thought for a moment, and blinked:
“Most substances in nature can be recreated using alchemy, so corresponding alchemical formulas can also be derived from these substances.
“I will assign you a project. If you can complete it within the specified time, it means you have mastered the content.
"Next, we will leave the laboratory and continue to explain alchemy outside."
The white-haired boy wearing a crown, who was sitting with his chin supported by his hand on the laboratory table and looking worried, was stunned when he heard this.
The laboratory has a wide range of materials, from various elements and equipment used for alchemy to wild flowers picked from the roadside for experiments.
…Is there anything you need to go out to see?
As he was thinking, the next second, Samuel heard Albedo tell him the assigned project in a calm tone, which had to be completed within an hour.
Without time to think, he picked up the test tubes and materials on the laboratory table after receiving the signal, and started smelting on the alchemy table with his own reserves.
……
——The project progressed very smoothly, and Samuel easily completed the task assigned by Albedo in about half an hour.
After the inspection, Albedo nodded, gave some instructions to Sucrose, and led Samuel out of the laboratory under his gentle but slightly proud gaze.
"Mr. Albedo, where are you taking the crown?" asked Sister Giuliana, who was following Samuel.
She is His Majesty's personal nun, responsible for taking care of His Majesty's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Naturally, she must also be aware of His Majesty's arrangements and ensure His Majesty's safety.
Albedo glanced at Samuel, and the white-haired boy wearing the crown looked back, their ice-blue eyes and azure eyes staring at each other.
Samuel suddenly understood something.
There was no need for Albedo to assign such a topic. When he was doing it, he felt that it was not difficult at all.
Just now, when Teacher Albedo was giving the lecture, he had been observing his expression, and now they were eyeing each other.
Therefore, Albedo's so-called "completing the project and going out to study" was said to the group of staff in the laboratory. His real purpose was just to take him out without arousing the suspicion of the staff.
As for why I went out...
Samuel couldn't think of any other reason except "to find clues about Eula's disappearance."
Seeing his look of sudden enlightenment, Albedo knew that he had figured it out, so he nodded to confirm his idea.
Seeing this, Samuel turned around and took the initiative to speak:
"Gilliana, Mr. Albedo and I have some personal matters to attend to. You don't have to follow me today."
Giuliana was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said anxiously:
"But Your Majesty, your safety——"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something.
Although Dean Grace had told her to pay more attention to His Majesty's condition in the near future and not let Him get hurt.
But she alone doesn't seem to be able to guarantee His Majesty's safety...
At most, when encountering danger, she would rely on the good voice she had trained in the choir and use her loud soprano voice to help His Majesty shout "Help! Someone is killing me--".
...Moreover, Mr. Albedo is much stronger than her, and seems to have a good relationship with Your Majesty. He can ensure Your Majesty's safety better than her when encountering danger.
if it is like this…
Seeing her concerns, Albedo explained calmly:
"Your Majesty and I will go to the meeting hall to find Captain Gunhild and explain the situation. Sister Giuliana does not need to worry."
Hearing this, Giuliana felt much more at ease.
She bowed slightly to His Majesty and Albedo, and then, as His Majesty nodded goodbye, she watched them leave via the stairs.
On the way, most of the details that Albedo explained about Eula's disappearance were suppressed by Jean, and only a few people in the Knights Templar knew about it.
He learned about this by chance because of the cooperation between the laboratory and the guerrilla group that Eula was in.
If you want to investigate clues about Eula's disappearance, starting with Jean is a good choice.
Besides, I should have reported the situation to Qin before launching an investigation.
So, Samuel and Albedo first went to the heavily guarded captain's office through the stairwell.
After being greeted by the knight guarding the door, Samuel walked into the room and found completed files and official documents on the desk.
But the armchair behind the desk was empty.
But the leader of the Qin group is not here.
After asking the Knight of Favonius at the door, I learned that Captain Jean was kicked out of the office by everyone in the Knights Templar.
Samuel blinked and looked at Albedo beside him.
"…Mr. Albedo, is Captain Qin often kicked out of the office?"
Albedo thought for a while and nodded:
"Although I don't want to admit it, in my memory, every Yueqin was kicked out of the office at least twice."
“One day at a time,” he added.
Samuel resisted the urge to twitch his lips and asked calmly, "...Then where should we go to find Captain Qin?"
"Your Majesty, Captain Gunhild has just left. You and Mr. Albedo may meet her in front of the gate of the Knights' headquarters." The Knight of Favonius replied.
Samuel nodded, and skillfully responded with the church's prayer etiquette, saying:
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart, kind knight.
“May the breeze be with you.”
Albedo, who was standing by, rubbed his chin as he looked at him.
The little slime in front of me has changed a lot. It seems that the environment can indeed change a person.
Speaking of which, "he" has become more and more immersed in the identity of Joel's father Joseph. Recently, he has not even been interested in alchemy. He also asked Mora to buy toys for Joel...
Seeing Samuel's signal, Albedo put away his thoughts, left the captain's office with him, and headed towards the gate of the headquarters.
