Arcaien Pasteur, male, half-elf, nineteen years old, was the fourth generation of the Pasteur School of Alchemy.
It was said that it was his ancestor who fermented and made the first cheese in human history, and the origin of the Pasteur School of Alchemy could be traced back to his great-grandfather, Krakhot Pasteur.
Krakhot Pasteur believed that there was a great spirit that controlled the decomposition of all kinds of small creatures and kept the world running. He called it the "Eternal Ashes". Through the analysis of the "Eternal Ashes", he developed a unique alchemy technique and applied it to fermentation and medical treatment, which made him a respectable alchemist.
However, as an important branch of the Druids in the ancient forest, the Pasteur Family had been inheriting the Druid profession. For the Druids who advocated "respecting, awing and obeying nature", the alchemist who distorted nature with the help of magic was a heresy that deserved to be killed. The Pasteur Family, who betrayed the Druids' noble belief, was severely criticized by the Archdruid, the "Orc Judge" Buddy Brista, and had to move a lot to avoid being caught by him.
Not long ago, Arcaien's father, Tewila Pasteur, had an accident during an experiment. Not only was he seriously injured, but the "Putrid Sea", the spore forest where he hid for a long time, was also destroyed. Faced with the Orc Judges who came after hearing the news, Tewila had no choice but to surrender. He was sentenced to be frozen and frozen into the Immemorial Glacier. Unless his descendants made great contributions to the forest, or the forest was in great danger and needed his help, he would be frozen in the ice forever.
Tewila knew that it was impossible for him to escape from the Archdruid, so he arranged for his son, Arcaien, to escape in advance and go to Master Trian, who was a good friend of his when he was young. However, Master Trian had already passed away. If Master Trian hadn't mentioned the Pasteur Family and asked Wendy to help him, Arcaien would have died in the beautiful but dangerous sea of flowers outside the magic tower.
"This person is very talented." Wendy emphasized to Sui Xiong, "Very talented! The alchemy inherited from his family is very mysterious, and it is totally different from the traditional alchemy that I know. I think he will be a great assistant to you! "
Sui Xiong greeted Arcaian curiously. Although this half-elf was almost 20 years old, he looked like a 12 or 13 year old teenager. He looked very young and immature, and he was quite short. He wasn't much taller than the Slime girl when he stood next to her. But it couldn't be helped. As half-bloods, half-elves often had this type of 'delayed growth'. Even if his mind was similar to an adult, his appearance was that of a child. According to Wendy's estimation, it would take at least 50 years for him to grow into an adult.
Although his father was arrested and executed, Arcaian did not hate the Orc Judge because of this. He was still very young and naive. He wanted to achieve great things as soon as possible and convince the Grand Druid to acknowledge the Pasteur School of Thought so that his father could be released.
"Great Void Mask, Your Majesty, I beg you to take me in. I will use my alchemy to serve you, I believe it will definitely be of help to you. " Arcaion said politely, "Of course, if you need me, I can also fight for you as a Druid. But fighting is not my specialty. Compared to those professional fighting masters, I am much weaker in this aspect. "
Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh. His church was so short of manpower now, how could he be so picky? Moreover, Arcaian was an alchemy master who was highly respected by Wendy. Sui Xiong couldn't wait to welcome such a talent!
"So … Master Arcaian, I would like to ask, which aspect of alchemy are you best at?" Sui Xiong asked with a smile. "Making medicine? Enchantment? Or substance conversion? "
"I can do all of these." Arcaian's childish face showed some confidence. "The Pasteur School, through the study and use of microscopic organisms, called bacteria or fungi, developed alchemy using them as the main tool. I just use different methods than other alchemists. Basically, I can do everything that others can do. "
Sui Xiong was overjoyed and asked, "So can you develop medicines?"
"Of course," Arcaian answered confidently. Then he added, "But the techniques of the Pasteur School are not compatible with the techniques of Master Trian's classical school. If you ask me to help Miss Wendy, I'm afraid I will be more of a hindrance. "
Sui Xiong was stunned and felt a bit regretful.
He had thought that with Arcaian's help, Wendy's research on the longevity potion would be much faster, and it would not take her long to develop the longevity potion. But he didn't expect that it would be like this …
Sui Xiong started to think about what should this alchemist, who was good at using bacteria and fungi, do in order to make full use of his talents?
After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea and asked, "You said that you are good at studying and using fungi?"
"You can say that."
"So, do you know about mushrooms?" Sui Xiong asked with interest. "Mushrooms are also a kind of fungi, right?"
Arcaian nodded, "Yes, mushrooms are one of the most common fungi in our life. There are six major branches of mushrooms and 79 common subspecies of mushrooms. Most of them are highly toxic, and there are only 14 kinds of mushrooms that are completely non-toxic and edible. They are …"
"Stop! Stop!" Sui Xiong hurriedly stopped his explanation and asked directly, "Do you know about mushrooms that can grow in the Ash Forest in the northwest?"
Arcaian was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he said with uncertainty, "In theory, such mushrooms should exist."
"What do you mean by 'in theory'?" Sui Xiong asked confusedly.
"Mushrooms are very good at adapting to the environment, and they are very good at adapting to the environment. As far as I know, mushrooms can even grow in the Shadow World and the World of Deadly Souls. Although there are no mushrooms in the Ash Forest that I have any impression of, those mushrooms that can grow well in the Shadow World and the World of Deadly Souls must also grow well in the Ash Forest. "
Sui Xiong smiled. This was really good news!
"So, this kind of mushroom … do you have a collection?"
"Of course I do. The independent space of the Pasteur School has a collection of almost all the known mushrooms in the world. Although the Rotten Sea, which is used to cultivate new mushrooms, is gone, and the cultivation of new mushrooms is greatly hindered, it won't take long to find suitable mushrooms from the known ones."
So, Sui Xiong gave this task to Arcaian and asked him to find mushrooms that could grow in the Ash Forest as soon as possible.
Of course, this kind of work couldn't be done in the Trian Magic Tower, so Sui Xiong had to spend some energy to build a super long-distance transmission magic circle to bring Arcaian to the Ash Forest.
But because Arcaian had lived in the warm Ancient Forest all year round, he was not used to the cold weather in the north. As soon as he arrived in the Ash Forest, he was so cold that he yawned and got seriously ill. Luckily, although Sui Xiong was weak, he could still treat the disease. So, this senior intellectual didn't die before he had the chance to show off his skills.
In order to let Arcaian live a good life and provide a stable research environment for him, Sui Xiong helped him build a simple "magic tower." After talking with him, Sui Xiong helped him build a simple "magic tower."
This "magic tower" was actually a basement with five floors. The buildings on the ground were mainly used to store some unimportant things, and the basement was used to store the materials. The second floor was the reception room, the third floor was the living room, and the fourth and fifth floors were the alchemy workshops for research and cultivation.
Compared to the coldness on the ground, it was obviously much warmer underground. In the third floor, even Arcaian, who was afraid of the cold, could live comfortably. He didn't even need to take extra measures to keep warm.
As for the fourth and fifth floors, they were separated by a powerful purification magic circle. The inner side of the purification magic circle completely isolated the negative energy, and it was used to cultivate ordinary mushrooms and ensure the safety of daily life. The fifth floor, which was located outside the purification magic circle, was used to cultivate mushrooms that could grow in a strong negative energy environment. Sui Xiong finished his task.
Arcaian's research efficiency was really good. About a week later, he found mushrooms that could grow in the strong negative energy environment in the Ash Forest.
Unfortunately, this kind of mushroom, like almost all the mushrooms in the world, liked the warmth and feared the cold. If they wanted to grow normally, they needed a relatively warm environment.
"Warmth is not a problem. It's just digging a basement or heating it manually. It's very simple." After receiving the report, Sui Xiong immediately went to Arcaian's alchemy workshop. Looking at the black mushrooms that could grow in the negative energy environment in the fifth floor, Sui Xiong smiled with satisfaction.
After smiling, he asked, "How does this mushroom taste?"
Arcaian was stunned. After a while, he asked in surprise, "You want to eat it?!"
"Of course I want to eat it." Sui Xiong answered matter-of-factly. "If not for eating, why would I plant it?"
Arcaian was stunned. "Isn't it to make poison?"
"How interesting! Why did I spend so much effort to make poison?! How bored am I to do such a thing?! "
Looking at Sui Xiong, who seemed to be very confused, as if eating mushrooms was natural and using mushrooms to make poison was absurd, Arcaian felt that his brain, which had always been proud of its intelligence, was not good enough. It took him a while to sort out his thoughts, and then his mind became clear again.
"Your Majesty, why do you think that this kind of mushroom that grows in a negative energy environment can be used?" Arcaian's voice involuntarily became louder. "It's poisonous! And it's very toxic! "
Sui Xiong suddenly lost interest. He waved his tentacles lazily and said, "It can't be eaten? What's the use? I want mushrooms that can be eaten. "
"How can there be edible mushrooms that grow in a negative energy environment?!" Arcaian's face suddenly turned red, as if he had been insulted. "Are you making fun of me?!"
Seeing that Arcaian was angry, Sui Xiong felt a little embarrassed. He smiled embarrassedly and explained to him.
"You want to find edible mushrooms that can grow in the Ashes Forest so that your believers can farm?" Arcaian blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, but he still could not understand Sui Xiong's strange idea. "Mushroom field?"
"Yes, mushroom field." Sui Xiong nodded. "Who said that only rice and vegetables can be grown in a field? You can also grow mushrooms! "
Full of confusion and doubt, Arcaian once again threw himself into work according to Sui Xiong's instructions …
