Chapter 7 Prince Oberon

"Please click, ask for red tickets, please collect!"

The sunlight in the narrow sea is brighter than the starry coast. Although the flowing palace is gurgling and cool, it still can't resist the scorching sun. The alchemist was sweating without sitting for a while, but Prince O'Peren seemed to be unaware of it.

"Alchemist." He whispered, "Ainblo's alchemist."

Liou knew what the prince was worried about, and that's why he refused to make a decision. However, there is nothing wrong with alchemists to remove the inherent discrimination and hostility.

"That being said," the dark-skinned Prince O'Bron is like a piece of black charcoal, but it is not a stone after all. His tone was not abrupt to refuse. But if I hand it over to you who come from afar, my people will think that I have nothing to do, old and dull, abandoning tradition and violating faith.

The alchemist is not discouraged. What the prince said is all false excuses. We follow a principle: professional things are handed over to professional people. Li Ou felt the sweat constantly leached from his head, and the heat was compelling. You govern the city, and we solve the problem. The mage and the alchemist happen to be the best choice.

"Father, what are you talking about?" Sitting in the prince's arms, the little girl in a golden gauze skirt raised her head and said confusedly, "I can't understand a word."

"A difficult problem." Prince Oberon said softly with a smile.

"Is it difficult?" She reached out and rubbed the prince's eyebrows, "Then why don't you let Uncle Yahan do it?"

"Because he is not suitable." The prince kissed the girl's forehead lovingly. All right, don't worry, okay? Go back to your room to rest and let the old nurse tell you the story of the dragon and the princess, okay?

"I still want a knight."

"Of course, there are always knights who defeat evil wizards in the story."

"Then I'll go to grandma. She always has endless stories." The little girl kissed the prince's cheek first, then cleverly climbed down from the prince, saluted them with a skirt, and jumped away.

"She's cute, isn't she?" Prince Oberon looked at the girl's happy back and suddenly said, "She is my little princess." However, she has fair skin. Leo's heart was strange, but his face remained calm. He sat motionless, with his hands on his knees. My little princess helped you convince me. Finally, the prince said his decision.

"We will be very grateful to her."

"She likes the little tricks in the hall very much."

Is magic equivalent to a trick in their eyes? Rosie snorted and simply turned her head. Li Ou saw that her fingers were ready to move, so he held her hand in the palm of his hand. I'm happy to make her laugh. She is beautiful and well-behaved. He said.

"There will be such an opportunity soon." The prince whispered and ended the topic about the little princess. He turned around and asked the mage who painted stars on the hat behind him for advice. Mr. Ansair, what do you think?

"Give it to a well-known alchemist is more trustworthy than a liar." The mage lowered his eyebrows and followed his decision, but also undisguisedly revealed his goodwill towards the caster's peers. Many people have tried and failed. None of them are monster experts. If anyone knows monster knowledge, in addition to bachelors and wise men, there are only alchemists.

"Aha." The prince nodded, "I've heard that sentence, 'An alchemist is equivalent to half a shrewd merchant and half a mage with insight into the world, plus half a polymath of a million-volume reader.'"

The prince can have everything he said in one sentence, how can he try his best to find a half-baked man and fail again and again? He didn't ask. He is waiting for the other party's answer.

"I offered a reward of a thousand gold boats on the announcement," Prince O'Beron raised his eyes, "but I don't think you came here for money."

"Of course not."

"What else? What else do you want?"

"Get your kindness and gratitude."

"Aha, that's what happened. I should have thought of it a long time ago." Oberon snorted, showing a light smile. Nevertheless, I don't think you will reveal a few words.

"Two different things." Li Ou replied.

"Two different things, alchemist, your abacus jingle." The prince put down the silver wine pot, "But, indeed, as you said, you are not an envoy. And I am hospitable. So, sit closer, the alchemist and Miss Mage. You are all my guests. Oh, do you prohibit alcohol at work?

"Of course not."

"What would you like to drink? Miss Mage?"

"Reejiu." The female mage replied impatiently and briefly.

For the first time, the alchemist felt that he finally had a little gap to breathe. He said with a smile, "Of course it is a specialty of the narrow sea."

"Do you like it?" The prince clapped his hands.

"Of course, trade is born from this."

"Abandon the beat, alchemist, Mr. Sir. I know you are good at this job. Prince Oberon frowned and said, "But now, let's talk about the matter at hand. My favor is not as cheap as you think.

"Listen carefully."

The golden wine with ice and fiery red spirits were quickly delivered. The blood-red spirit is very good for the appearance and character of the female mage, and they can all burn like flames.

"How much do you know about this?" The prince gently patted the announcement, "This is not an easy job. My friend, this is not as simple as eliminating a few scoundrels.

"I don't know anything about the cause, but I know what it is and how to deal with it."

"Yes, you are the experts." The prince nodded gently, "But I want to start from the beginning."

"Listening to details is helpful for my work."

"I hope it's not a job of peeling and removing bones." The prince's words made Rosie laugh. Her amber eyes seemed to be a mischievous cat squinting and sweeping over him. With all due respect, it is said that many raw materials of alchemy come from monster corpses.

"People in the world will see it this way." Leo nodded with understanding.

"I don't know you, and I don't want to know you. So, please ignore the offensive points in my words. Be patient and listen to me." The prince took a small sip with a refilled wine jug. Everything is terrible." He sighed and said slowly, "All the evil things have come out. There are lizards rampant in the swamp of Kenyan. In the past, it was a crocodile with a big mouth, but now it has been replaced by a three-meter-long beetle full of spines. Spitting will hit the worms and eight-legged centipedes in the sewer. There are rumors of encountering sea monsters in the Gem Bay, and everyone in the pubs and brothels on the shore are talking about ghosts and sea monsters. On the other side, your black magic covers the sky. What the hell is going on?" The world is changing, and the cold is coming. Are you really occupied by black magic?

"Yes." Leo answered him without thinking, "But everything has been solved. Everything has been restored as before. Except for the streets destroyed by the fire, the dock full of corpses.

"It's hard to imagine what terrible consequences unrestricted magic will bring." The prince seemed to have a lingering heart. He was full of fear of magic, and Leo realized it. But they are beating gongs and drums and holding a feast of gluttony on my land. The most horrible thing happened here!" He threw the rolled pieces of parchment over the table. "Let me tell you, the alchemist lives in the abandoned palace on the cliff opposite the flowing palace, and there is a cannibal woman!"

Li Ou picked up the announcement that fell at his feet. A soft and touching woman was painted with a paint brush, but she had purple skin, **'s body was covered with magic lines, and her forehead was covered with antelope horns. I know that she is a night witch.

"Night Witch." The prince smiled bitterly. Seven years, seven years. Seven years ago, my city-state magic disappeared. However, until a full moon night, screaming, crying and singing came from the palace! I think this is revenge on me by wizards and shamans. They found a night witch and put her beside me. So that I can't sleep from now on, so as to remind me that there is magic in this world.

"What did she do?"

"I did nothing but come out of the palace every week to lure a beautiful young man into her boudoir." The prince sighed, "Over the years, I have chosen to send her prisoners and feed her a lot."

"This is a good method."

"Indeed, I saved the expenses of the gallows. The more the banshee is, the more lively it is. But the crime rate has still not decreased.

"There is never a shortage of liars and killers in the world." The female mage snorted, "Maybe they think it's worth boasting to be spoiled by the banshee?"

"No one is trying to solve her?"

The prince introduced the mage behind him, "My magic consultant, Mr. Ansiel, has been working for me since then. I realize that there is a lack of a person who is proficient in clever ** skills around me.

The mage quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm ashamed that I didn't help."

"What about him?"

The prince replied helplessly, "This is the mage hell. Who dares to come?"

The magic consultant took over, "There are a few prophets, and the shamans of the riders volunteered. There are also many young men who are self-respecting and dizzy indoctrinated by the bard's poetry, intending to make her submit to... Oh, **... But what's the result? They are all in and out. The old and pale prophet shaman was cut off his head and thrown out, and those beautiful young men... we don't know.

"It's been seven years." Li Ou said, "For seven years, no one has come up with a solution?"

"It's a pity, no." The magic consultant shook his head and said, "After the things in the old palace become famous, more than a dozen wizards came one after another. They all claim to solve the problem completely. But they always turn around and run without hesitation after seeing that thing.

"Yes." The prince took a heavy look at the alchemist and said, "This matter can't be solved at all. We can only swallow our anger. My people complained first, but later they got used to it. They even set up a bet for pleasure.

"People always adapt to the environment quickly."

"Who said no?" Prince Oberon poured a large mouthful of cold sweet wine and wiped his mouth vigorously. In the first few years, there were still people who were willing to try, whether they were liars or knights' illegitimate children, or pirates, but now the banshee is well-known, and few people have come. Oh, there has been one recently, but he has also followed in the footsteps of others.

"Poor guy, no one must have observed a moment of silence for him."

"If you die, no one will mourn for you." The prince said, "Are you determined to do it? Alchemist? Do you still want to bring your beautiful mage companion?"

"I'll go." The alchemist said, "I would rather face monsters than politics."

Prince O'Beron laughed, "If I were you, I would think so." He shouted, "I see. I understand why people say that alchemy is the way to explore the truth. You know more than most people to choose and understand what the biggest risk is.

"I'm just strictly controlling the dose and heat when I'm doing alchemy--" Li Ou smiled and whispered, "--Too little is not enough, too much is not enough."

The prince's smile suddenly convered, "We make a deal, alchemist." He said seriously, "If, I mean if - if you feel that you can't do anything, I allow you to give up halfway. Don't worry, don't be afraid. I will roar at you in public and kick you out of the palace, but nothing more. You have won what you want now."

Braveness is not recklessness. I understand." Li Ou looked directly into the prince's eyes, "But you have to see it with your own eyes to count."

"Your reason will make you choose to give up." He greeted the captain of the bodyguard, "Now I'm tired. If you want to know anything else, just ask my magic adviser and my captain of the bodyguard. They know this very well. Yahan, send the guests away. Alchemist, you'd better be alive next time you see each other.

He saluted deeply. As you wish, Your Excellency."
