"How's the progress?"
Earnest walked into the lab, looking at the dazzling array of instruments in front of him and asked the busy Goth girl.
"With the resources you provided, it's already half done."
Dotya wiped the sweat on her forehead, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, "Just give me ten more days, and I will be able to refine this' Philosopher's Stone '!"
"The Philosopher's Stone is equivalent to a second life."
Dotya clenched her fist, looking confident, "No matter if you are killed by swords or spears, poisoned to death, or sick to death, the Philosopher's Stone can give you a chance to revive. It is the crystallization of pure life force, and also the greatest invention in alchemy."
"But it also requires a lot of human lives, ah, so pitiful."
The minister said as a happy smile appeared on his face.
With the Philosopher's Stone that was about to be refined, he at least had the possibility of escaping from Ryuga's hands.
"Don't be happy too early."
Doteya shrugged and said helplessly, "In a situation where we can't confirm what method he used, using the Philosopher's Stone will only give you an extra life. It doesn't mean you can escape from his control."
"This old man knows."
Earnest stroked his beard, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, "Before the Philosopher's Stone is refined, this old man doesn't plan to walk out from this underground. When the Philosopher's Stone is completed, this old man only needs to die once in front of him, and then I will disappear from his sight."
"Then this old man will use the Philosopher's Stone to revive, and secretly control this country."
He was basically planning to fake his death, no, he was really dead, but with the power of the Philosopher's Stone, he could revive again.
As long as he did the right thing, he would be able to use his death to escape from Liu Xia's line of sight and turn the tables around. Even if he didn't have to face Liu Xia directly afterwards, at least he wouldn't have to constantly be threatened by her.
This was also a last resort.
"Even if your son dies, you don't care?"
Dotya looked at Earnest and asked casually.
"Just have another son."
There was no trace of sadness on Earnest's face. He just said nonchalantly, "It's just that I didn't expect that the Wild Hunting Hounds I specially formed for him couldn't even stall for time. What a piece of trash."
Dotya glanced at him discreetly and sighed inwardly at his heartlessness.
Sheila and his wild hounds, in Earnest's mind, were actually used to attract Ryuga's attention. No matter what, it was also a lineup of all Teigu users, and it was not much worse than Jaeger. He did not need to delay for a long time, as long as he waited for the sage stone to be completed, he could return to the surface.
In the end, he didn't expect that the wild hounds would be so useless and die out in one night. Now he had to think of other ways to attract Ryuga's attention.
In fact, he didn't need to think of these methods. After sending Ryuga to the island thousands of miles away through Shangri-La, Earnest began to refine the sage stone.
According to his idea, he intended to trap Ryuga on the island until the sage stone was refined. Forming the wild hounds was just a backup plan prepared when the island couldn't trap Ryuga.
But Sheila, the son of a bitch, secretly planned to 'get the method to control Earnest from Ryuga', so he sent them back the next day. When he knew it, he almost tore Sheila's hands.
This son of a bitch, he didn't even look at himself. Even his father couldn't win in the process of confrontation with Earnest, let alone him?
What was the result? He died within two days after Earnest came back.
Even the Wild Hounds were slaughtered. Only Doteya, who had been helping him refine the Philosopher's Stone, managed to escape with her life.
This son of a bitch.
Earnest suppressed his resentment towards his idiotic son and asked about another matter.
"Right, how is the transformation of the [Supreme Teigu] going?"
He entrusted Dotya with two tasks, one was to refine the sage stone, and the other was to transform the [Supreme Teigu].
"Hum, in this world, no one can surpass me in alchemy!"
Dotya put her hands on her waist, and her face showed a proud look. The pink bow swayed on the top of her head. "Don't worry, the weakness of the [Supreme Teigu] has been repaired by me. Now the Supreme Teigu is absolutely invincible! No matter what the undead, the night attack, the rebel army, or the revolutionary army, they can never be the opponent of the Supreme Teigu! "
"Oh! Beautiful! "
Earnest was refreshed, and the smile on his face quickly became bright.
His eyes crossed Dotya and fell on the huge steel creation not far away.
That was the real pillar that had been maintaining the rule of the empire for thousands of years. It was the symbol of absolute oppression and domination. It was immortal after thousands of years, and it had the terrible power comparable to God.
The first and the strongest was also the Supreme Teigu!
This was the underground of the palace.
Although there had always been rumors about the Supreme Teigu in the outside world, no one knew that in fact, the Supreme Teigu was stored in the underground of the palace.
This was a top secret place that only a few people, including the little emperor and Earnest, knew that the little emperor must be the guide in person to come in.
Even Ryuga, who explored through birds, could not know the existence of this place. Even if the other party knew, it was impossible to enter here without the little emperor as a guide.
Therefore, the minister could rest assured to hide here and wait for Dotya to refine the sage stone.
Of course, there were people coming in and out here.
The little emperor did not understand policy. He did not know how to deal with most of the requests of the ministers, and the person he trusted most was only the minister, so he often came with the ministers' reports to listen to the minister's opinions.
Today was no exception. The little emperor walked into this underground chamber with an ignorant and innocent expression.
No one noticed that there was a small black spider lying on the hem of the little emperor's cloak. After entering the secret room, it immediately fell down from the cloak and hid in the spacious secret room.
Although most magicians liked to use birds as tamed demons, insects such as spiders were also very popular among magicians because they were very small and easy to operate.
For tamed demons like spiders, even a magician with average qualifications could easily control dozens or hundreds of them. In Ryuga's place, because of the huge magic, it was not a problem to control hundreds of them.
Although the vision and hearing of spiders were limited, and their intelligence ability was not as good as birds, it was the most convenient to find objects and secret chambers by relying on the size and number.
