Shameless Warlock

It's actually a brother-sister relationship.

Xu Nan, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help admitting with some shame that the dialogue and lines between the two of them just now made him think a little bit wrongly.

It seems that some unpleasant things happened between the two of them, so that Helena was kicked out of the house by Akai, but in the end, Akai was not without guilt in his heart.

It could be seen that he still cared about his younger sister very much, and he tried to make amends.

But Helena's attitude was different.

She looked very calm, and even felt ashamed.

Xu Nan noticed that only when her eyes rested on the alchemy doll, could she reveal a little warm humanity.

Facing Akai's pleading, she smiled softly and said:

"Remember when you were a child? At that time, no matter what happened, you always tried to convince me that you were right."

"Many times I don't want to admit it, but because of your violent temper and strength that is much stronger than mine, I can only submit to you helplessly."

"After growing up, you became a lot gentler towards me. Only after Vigniew appeared, you rarely reprimanded me."

"After that, we never saw each other again."

"Except for some vague childhood memories and the so-called blood relationship, what is left between us?"

Her voice was hoarse and low, as if she was describing something that had nothing to do with her.

Akai's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Don't look at me like that." Helena suddenly became a little disgusted: "If you really care about me and my children, why have you never come to me after all these years?"

"You left my world on your own initiative just because you didn't approve of my marriage choice, so how can I trust you now that you're here?"

"To me, this face of yours is really strange, so strange that I can't even recall the last time you smiled at me... So, put away your hypocritical face!"

"I'm fine, I don't need you to save me, and I don't bother with your kindness."

Akai suppressed his anger, he gritted his teeth and growled:

"That's why you have a nest with the Soul Thieves?"

Helena was a little dazed:

"Soul stealer?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Akai was stunned for a moment, he was just about to tell Helena that the place where they lived was the den of Soulstealers, but at this moment, Helena suddenly reprimanded loudly:

"Stay away from my children!"

She even stood up abruptly and pushed Xu Nan away!

Xu Nan staggered and looked at Helena innocently.

He still held half a broken immortal flower in his hand.

"He gave it to me..." Xu Nan explained.

He really wasn't lying.

While Akai and Helena were narrating their daily routines, Xu Nan's attention was all on the alchemy puppet Little Sun God. He stared at the puppet for a long time, but the puppet actually smiled at him—because there was no particularly subtle expression, Xu Nan couldn't be sure that the opening and closing of the mouth was a smile.

But his hunch was this way.

So he also smiled at the little Sun God.

The child seemed to come to life, and his reaction became more active. He compared the flowers in Xu Nan's hand to Xu Nan.

That is an eternal flower.

It was as much a part of alchemy as his body.

Xu Nan subconsciously went to pick it up, but was pushed by Helena who reacted fiercely.

"This woman is so strong..."

Xu Nan touched his chest, secretly feeling pain.

Helena didn't believe it, she held the little Sun God's wrist, as if she was afraid that the child would get lost.

As a result, the wrist was slowly raised, the puppet-like face was raised slightly, the mouth opened, and a rare arc appeared at the corner of the mouth.

"Huahua..." Such a voice came from the puppet's stomach.

Helena froze there for an instant.

She looked at her child or her work in disbelief.

"How can this be……"

"He even..."

Helena stared at Xu Nan suddenly, that look made Xu Nan's hair stand on end.

This woman seemed to eat Xu Nan alive.

On the contrary, Akai calmed down, and persuaded him in a low voice: "No matter what, let's leave here first."

"Helen, you have to believe me, this is the territory of Soul Thief, and it is very dangerous for you and your child to be here."

"Let's find a safe house first. In fact, I have already prepared one for you."

Helena turned around abruptly, her eyeballs rolled, and she suddenly laughed dryly:

"Dangerous? Where are we not dangerous?"

"What I want to do, I have already done, and I have no regrets in my life."

"But my boy, I want him to live forever."

Akai echoed:

"Of course, I promise you, I will protect you. I will protect his safety with my life!"

Helena seemed to be moved, and her face showed a look of consideration.

Akai immediately tried to persuade again.

But Xu Nan could tell that Helena had no intention of going with Akai at all.

The look in her eyes said it all—Xu Nan has super high negotiation skills and persuasion level, not only very good at negotiating, but also effective at the stage of observing words and expressions.

"She seems interested in me."

"The subtext just now is that the little sun god doesn't even get close to or communicate with his mother?"

When Xu Nan was thinking this way, he suddenly saw a bottle of blue potion in Helena's hand out of the corner of his eye!

The potion was dark blue, with a golden walnut shining inside, and some flocs.

"what you up to?"

Before he finished speaking, Helena raised the medicine in her hand and smashed it on the floor!

This time, even Akai didn't react.

In an instant, a large number of blue bubbles filled the entire secret room, and without giving Xu Nan and A Kai any time to react, the entire room was sealed by the blue bubbles!

"Damn [Outer World]..."

These were the last words Xu Nan heard from A Kai before he was pulled away by a strange force.

...

A labyrinthine world with tall and fantastic buildings.

This is all Xu Nan can see.

In this world, most of his abilities can work, but he cannot return to Paradise Lost.

"What kind of partial alchemy is this?"

"It seems that a temporary world was artificially created. Akai said it was the outer world?"

"I don't know what that woman wants to do..."

Xu Nan maintained full vigilance.

Although Helena seems harmless, he must find a solution to the outer world as soon as possible.

This thing is probably similar to the enchantment Elliott once used. It can trap the enemy for a period of time, but it is difficult to cause considerable damage.

Xu Nan was walking in the maze, and saw A Kai after a while, but it was just separated by a puddle of water - he saw A Kai angrily walking through a road very similar to the one in front of him in the water stains on the ground. The road then disappeared at the end of the horizon.

"She wants to trap us here?"

"Or, is she just trying to separate us?"

When Xu Nan thought this way, a low laugh suddenly came from behind.

Like a child's laughter.

He turned around and saw the puppet and Helena standing beside him.

At this time, all the clothes on the little sun god disappeared, and Xu Nan could finally see his whole picture clearly.

This is a very delicate alchemy doll, every part of the body uses super high alchemy skills. Although the body and joints are made of metal, it looks basically the same as the simulated human in science fiction movies. up.

The only thing that is a little confusing is that his head is actually carved out of a wood-like material, not much different from ordinary dolls, and the mouth is stitched with shining cotton threads.

I don't know why Helena turned her child into such a ghost.

He looked at Helena, but didn't speak, because he knew that she would say all of this herself.

"You seem to have guessed that I will come to you."

Helena stared at Xu Nan, her eyes were exactly the same as before.

Xu Nan smiled: "I don't think you have any reason to hurt us."

"There is only one purpose left for so many actions. You seem to be very interested in my simple communication with your child."

Helena nodded, then shook her head again:

"Actually, I don't care who you are."

"It's just my kids telling me you can be trusted."

"I chose to trust him."

Xu Nan looked at the doll in surprise, but the doll still smiled at him.

"It's unbelievable that he identified with you."

Helena's tone became unusually lively: "I just noticed that you are Warlock Ron."

"So, you are the [Fearless] of this generation?" (Note 1.)

Xu Nan was at a loss.

"It looks like you don't know anything yet."

For some reason, Xu Nan suddenly felt that Helena looked at him with pity.

"I have something very important to give you."

"I want you to help me take care of my baby."

"I have many, many things to tell you..."

Xu Nan frowned, and asked a little rudely:

"Why?"

The corners of Helena's mouth rose slightly, and a dark red stone suddenly appeared in her hand.

"This is a special energy stone."

"The secrets of the alchemy of God are all in this stone."

"If you can do what I want you to do, this stone is yours."

"I don't think people in Paradise Lost are not interested in God's Alchemy."

Xu Nan actually dislikes Helena's tone of voice.

But after thinking about it carefully, there is really no way, and there is a kind of heroic shortness of breath of "I wanted to refuse, but the other party offered too much money".

So he simply nodded:

"Can."

"Give me the stone first."

Helena didn't seem to be worried that Xu Nan would go back on his word at all, and directly threw the energy stone to Xu Nan.

Xu Nan held the energy stone tightly, and before he could take a closer look at the energy stone, Helena's voice came from beside his ears:

"Do you know [Shameless is Fearless]?"

What?

As soon as Xu Nan raised her head, she suspected that her ears were wrong.

"The most basic requirement of divine alchemy is..."

"Shameless."

Helena's face was flushed, as if she was talking about something extremely sacred.

The tall body of the little Sun God just stood guard beside her, forming a sharp contrast with Helena's relatively petite body.

...

Things start many years ago.

Helena was originally a very ordinary alchemist, her talent was very limited, although her parents were wizards of Stephen Sand, but in their generation, Akai was a witcher cursed by witchcraft, and Helena only had A little pathetic talent for alchemy.

Relying on the legacy of their parents, the siblings can still maintain their lives in Stephen Sand.

What Helena joined at the beginning was just a poorly managed alchemy workshop. At that time, she lived the most ordinary life, making some simple potions every day, and then relying on good interpersonal relationships to make ends meet.

Until she met the man who was enough to change her life.

That was her mentor, Vignieu.

Vignieu believes that Helena has an extraordinary alchemy talent, but her alchemy talent cannot be used under the existing alchemy framework. He sincerely invites Helena to join the [Society of Deception].

Helena knew that her elder brother Akai was a very stubborn and conservative person, and if he found out about joining the Deception Society, he would definitely stop her; so instead of quitting her job in the alchemy workshop, she secretly joined the Deception Society.

There, under the guidance of Vignieu, she first came into contact with [Unstable Alchemy], that is, all kinds of magical alchemy based on the principles of the Deception Society.

As Vignieu said, she does have a good talent, but the disadvantages of unstable alchemy are also obvious. They cannot produce reliable alchemical items in a long-term and sustainable manner.

Sometimes it can be a big success, and sometimes it is a big failure-this kind of variable is not recognized by the mainstream alchemy world.

Randomness and variables are regarded as elements that should be eliminated and controlled. This mainstream prejudice has greatly stifled the germination of unstable alchemy.

Still, Vignieu and Helena are immersed in the wonderful world of unstable alchemy.

And in the process, they fell in love.

In order to pursue love, Helena resolutely told Akai that she fell in love with her mentor.

This made the old-fashioned Akai very puzzled. After learning that Helena had quietly resigned from her "serious job" in order to follow Vignieu to practice unstable alchemy, Akai was even more furious. He threatened to marry Helena. Sever the brother-sister relationship.

Unless she leaves the "disgraceful person" like Vignieu.

But Helena didn't do this. She chose the former in front of love career and family relationship.

The siblings have not seen each other for many years.

But none of this mattered to Helena.

All she cares about is chasing the alchemy rules that go beyond the existing framework.

That's the most fascinating part.

Her mentor is also an unborn genius of the Deception Society. Vignieu has been studying unstable alchemy for a long time. Compared with his predecessors, he has achieved good results.

But this result is still a long way from a real breakthrough.

Soon, another practical problem appeared before their eyes.

That is money.

Alchemy is very expensive.

According to Helena's description, a small experiment in Vignieu's peak period was enough to consume half a year's savings.

But the alchemists who deceived the society were discriminated against. Most of them lived in poverty, and there were not many people who could help them financially.

Stephen Sang has many capital institutions that invest in young alchemists, but they are not interested in unstable alchemy.

The life of the couple was extremely difficult.

They once reached the stage where there was nothing to cook. At that time, Vignieu thought about giving up.

But in the end it was Helena who encouraged him to work hard.

At that time, Vignieu was working on a very important topic. According to him, once this topic is cracked, the system framework of Unstable Alchemy may be unified to some extent!

This could be a step across the ages!

But they are going so hard.

The lab was temporarily shut down due to lack of lighting.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the frustrated Vignieur to see his smiling wife, who brought good news: a small venture capital institution was willing to pay for their project.

The upfront payment arrived quickly.

Vignieu wept bitterly, he was finally able to carry out the important experiment he had been thinking about day and night. He didn't ask Helena how he did it, but happily threw himself into the work.

Even if there are occasional discordant gossip in the surrounding environment, he doesn't care.

Perhaps, he wasn't unaware, but he cared more about the breakthrough that might be of great significance to the entire alchemy world than anything else.

Vignieu's experiments are still going on, and the laboratory is brightly lit every day.

Helena will assist him in his work every day as an assistant.

And at night, she shirked that she wanted to go home and rest when she was tired from work.

It's just that in the daytime the next day, she looked even more tired.

Occasionally, there are signs of being whipped on the body.

Vignieu saw it, but kept silent and worked harder.

That time, in Helena's words, was "the most exciting, the most disgusting and the most unforgettable time".

...

"Maybe you think I'm disgusting."

"That's true of me and my husband."

"But this is the fact. Even when I was picking up the guests, what I was thinking about was the deficiencies in the daytime experiments."

"We are fighting hard for a new world of alchemy, and sacrifices are no big deal."

"Days passed, and finally, we waited until the day when the experiment ended."

"At that time, I really felt that the hard days were coming to an end."

"But at that time I didn't notice anything abnormal about my body."

"I seem to be pregnant."

"I don't know who the child belongs to. I can't go to the hundreds of people to find the child's father."

"But the most frightening thing is that I have already taken all measures... You must know that it is not so easy for an alchemist like us to get pregnant."

"I instinctively thought there was something wrong, but was quickly distracted by the experiment."

"It's the day of the final experiment."

"Something happened..."
