Barton was relieved as he saw that Dudian didn't care about the 'wasted money': "We have been looking everywhere for the past few days but haven't found anything suitable. Kroen went out again today and hasn't come back yet."
Dudian nodded. He was quite happy to see that all of them were here. In fact, he had given each of them a gold coin as a test. After all, the value of a gold coin was extremely high. Even ordinary poor people would not hesitate to rob and kill! However, Barton and the others didn't leave with the gold coin. It showed that they were determined to work for him.
Moreover, Dudian was very satisfied with the fact that they didn't open their eyes at the sight of money.
"Kroen has been gone for a long time today. Will he encounter any trouble?" Barry looked at the time and asked in a worried tone.
Barton's face slightly changed as he looked at Barry's expression: "No, he is very smart."
Joseph nodded: "Maybe he has found a place."
Dudian looked at the surrounding environment: "You can find a better place to live. You don't have to save money. I'll earn more if you don't have it."
"This place is very good." Barton laughed: "It's much better than when I was a miner. At least we can occasionally see the sun. Moreover the people who live here are poor so they won't be targeted."
Dudian didn't say anything as he saw this. Although Barton and the others were orphans but the orphanage taught them some basic knowledge. Especially how to protect themselves and not be hated by others.
Although they were physically disabled but their minds were extremely sharp. They were not inferior to those who were physically healthy. In fact, they were more shrewd and cautious than those who were physically healthy.
Dean followed them into the shack. The area inside was very small. It didn't take long for them to chat inside. Kroen came back from outside with three stacks of things wrapped in oiled paper: "I brought back food for you. You must be starving …" He was surprised when he saw Dean.
Barton asked: "Did you find an abandoned factory?"
Kroen put down the things and shook his head: "I didn't find a suitable one. There are a few factories to rent but the place isn't remote enough. Moreover the price is a bit high."
Barton and the others were disappointed as they looked at Dudian with guilt.
Dudian waved his hand: "Don't worry about it. You eat first and then slowly look for a place. It must be remote and hidden enough. The surrounding environment should be open." When Roland had asked them to do this, he hadn't intended to complete it so quickly. After all, the slums were vast, and it would be difficult to find a suitable place. No matter how clever Barton and the others were, they had never seen much of the world. Roland's main purpose this time was to train them.
Barton and the others felt apologetic after hearing Dudian's words.
After chatting with them for a while, Dean looked at the time and got up to say goodbye. He took the carriage back to the residential area and went to the alchemy nest.
Nightingale didn't say anything as she saw Dudian return. She continued to be busy with her experiments.
Dean looked at the gold powder on the table and asked: "Are you going to make the 'Philosopher's Stone' directly?"
Nightingale saw that Dudian was aware of this, so she didn't deliberately hide it. She shook her head: "How is it possible? The philosopher's stone is our ultimate goal. Even a five-star master alchemist can't make it. How can I research it? I just want to see the compatibility of gold. I want to see if I can mix gold with other metals to make precious metals."
"Alloy?" Dudian was surprised.
Nightingale was surprised: "Alloy? That's a good name. My experiment will be called Alloy Experiment. Well, do you mind? "
Dudian lightly coughed: "It's just a small matter. I don't mind. But are you going to use this alloy experiment to hit the meteorite badge?"
"Well, if it's completed according to my guess, then I should be able to get it." Nightingale nodded.
Dudian's heart was moved. The most famous alloy in the old era was aluminum alloy. But there was no gold in aluminum alloy. Moreover, gold was too rare. In addition to gold jewelry, other metal elements would be added to it. There were very few gold synthetic materials. It was far less widely used than aluminum alloy. Moreover, aluminum alloy was used in many heavy industrial products.
"But to make aluminum alloy, we need to electrolyze the metal. We need to have electricity first." Dudian felt helpless. This was the limitation of tools.
Nightingale looked at Dudian: "What is the direction of your experiment? Is it convenient for us to communicate?"
"Me?" Dudian thought for a moment: "I'm studying 'electricity'."
"Electricity?" Nightingale looked at him: "This is a bit difficult. My teacher is still exploring it. Are you not going to start with basic physical materials?"
Dudian knew that she was worried that he would bite off more than he could chew. In fact, this was the common problem of most alchemists. Some beginners even wanted to directly create the ultimate alchemy treasure like the 'Philosopher's Stone'. It was completely whimsical.
However, he was not ignorant and fearless. He was not interested in general research. What he wanted to create needed the support of electricity. So 'electricity' was the first problem he had to solve.
Moreover, the postmodern world had proved that the penetration and help of electricity was extremely deep. If there was no electricity then the entire human society would be paralyzed. In short, the existence of electricity was the division between the ancient era and the industrial era. It had great significance.
Dudian shook his head and said that he would stick to his experiment.
Nightingale saw this and no longer said anything. After all, it was not a good thing to interfere in other people's experiment.
At this time, Mouse came out of the room. He saw Dudian and Nightingale: "What are you talking about?"
"The problem of the experiment." Nightingale casually said.
Mouse didn't ask much but looked at Dudian: "Are you ready? I'll take you to the market. Come back early. Did you bring enough money?"
"It should be enough." Dudian replied.
Mouse nodded: "We will meet at 23 West Street. Do you know where it is? If not, then ask someone. "
"Alright." Dudian nodded.
Both of them left.
Dudian had never heard of this place. He directly hired a carriage. Anyway, the carriage was charged according to the length of the road. He could afford to pay a few copper coins. Everything was based on efficiency.
West Street was relatively remote. There were no shops on the street. There were only residential houses. So there were not many people here. The cold wind was blowing on the street.
Dudian got off the carriage and covered his head with a robe. After paying the fare, he immediately put on a mask. He came to the front of the small building with the '23' sign. It seemed that no one had lived in the building for a long time. The lawn was full of fallen leaves and no one was cleaning it.
However, Dudian smelled three or four human scents in the small building.
Suddenly, one of the scents disappeared.
Dudian was startled. The smell seemed to have disappeared into thin air. It was as if the owner of the smell had suddenly left.
He was puzzled but didn't rush into the small building. Instead, he waited near the door.
It didn't take long for Mouse to come over wearing a mask. He looked at Dudian: "How come you came so early?"
Dudian knew that Mouse should have come over. He was a bit surprised and moved: "I made you come all the way."
Mouse waved his hand: "It's a small matter. We are companions. Let's go. I'll take you in." Then he came to the front of the small building and gently knocked on the door.
Dudian noticed that Mouse knocked on the door with a certain frequency. Three heavy and two light, two slow and three fast.
Soon after the knock, the door opened. A figure shrouded in a black robe opened the door. He was wearing a snow-white mask. He indifferently looked at both of them: "Come in."
Mouse went in first and Dudian followed.
After the two came in, the tall figure indifferently said: "Please show me your tattoo."
Mouse lifted his wrist and revealed the black hook tattoo.
Dudian opened the clothes on his chest and revealed the black cross tattoo. At this time, he suddenly felt that Mouse's tattoo also had some advantages. It was more convenient to verify identity. If it was tattooed on a special private part of the body, although it was not easy to be exposed, but it would be troublesome to verify each other. Fortunately, after getting the meteorite badge, he could show it.
The tall figure glanced at them but didn't say anything. He turned around and led the two into the small building. He took out a bottle from his arms. It was filled with orange water: "I'll help you eliminate the smell so that the hounds don't detect you." After that, he poured the orange water into his mouth and sprayed it towards Dean and the mouse, splashing it all over the floor.
Dudian suddenly smelled that the smell of himself and Mouse had faded.
"Go in." The tall figure pointed inside.
