"Lars Brown, you have been assigned to the Craftsman Branch!"
"But I applied for the Alchemy Master College, and I got full marks in the written test!"
"Unfortunately, you don't have the talent to become an alchemist!"
A young man with short brown hair stood outside the Wisteria Alchemy College in Finnlit City. He wandered around all day and did not leave until late at night. Although he still entered the Wisteria Alchemy College, the result was like heaven and hell compared to entering the Alchemy Master College to become an alchemist.
Lars Brown had been deeply influenced by his father since he was a child, and he was determined to become an alchemist. Lars Brown had known the existence of alchemists since he was a child, and from his father's words, he knew what kind of existence an alchemist was. He had a very high talent for craftsmanship and the design of various alchemy tools.
When Lars Brown was 12 or 13 years old, he could make small manned hot air balloons that could fly hundreds of meters into the sky. He could make delicate clocks, and he could understand the design drawings of all kinds of complex alchemy items and alchemy tools.
When he was 14 years old, Lars Brown personally designed and built a windmill in the suburbs, which had just emerged in the Sean City-State Alliance. The alchemists combined the wind, the windmill, and the mill, which gave Lars Brown great inspiration. As long as he borrowed the power of nature, he could do things that couldn't be done by human beings.
Just when he was full of pride and wanted to become an alchemist, he decided to use his wisdom to enter the Wisteria Alchemy College in Finnlit City and become a great alchemist. However, he found that he could not even cross the threshold of an alchemist.
When Lars Brown was a teenager, he suffered the most significant blow in his life, which tore apart his dreams and expectations for the future. When he was young, he was told that he did not have the talent to become an alchemist, and that he could never become an alchemist.
Lars Brown's reputation as a young genius was not small, even in Finnlit City. Many children looked up to him, and he fell from heaven to hell. The little fatty, who had always been against him, entered the Alchemy Master College and became an alchemist apprentice.
"Is it so easy to be an alchemist? This is the choice of fate! "
"Be a good blacksmith!"
"Hahahaha, look at me, I am an alchemist, and you will forever be a craftsman. Change the world? Only alchemists can change the world! "
After returning home, after a long silence, Lars Brown's father, Old Brown, patted his son's shoulder and said, "The craftsman branch is not bad. In the future, you can take over my workshop and become a workshop owner."
Lars shook off his father's hand and shouted angrily at his father, "But this is not what I want. You don't have a dream, but I do!"
"I will definitely become an alchemist! “
"Definitely!"
"I will become an alchemist!"
Old Brown slapped Lars Brown's face and said with a red face, "It's time to wake up. You don't have that life!"
"Do you think I haven't had such a dream? He wanted to become an alchemist, but what could he do? No talent means no talent! "
"My heart is higher than the sky, but my life is thinner than paper. No matter how delusional I am, it's useless!"
Lars Brown's father was also a craftsman from the Alchemy College. He had opened a small watch workshop in Finnlit, and he was a wealthy and famous workshop owner and businessman.
According to his father's plan, Lars Brown would become a wealthy workshop owner and a watchmaker in Finnlit, taking over his father's workshop and everything. However, Lars Brown refused the path that his father had chosen for him.
The next day, Lars Brown silently left home with his luggage and suitcase. He then boarded a ship on the Pegasus River, heading for Teφύσις, the legendary holy land of alchemists, where Akkad Alchemy College was located.
Lars Brown was shocked by everything in the city. Huge windmills could be seen everywhere outside the city, as well as all kinds of windmills and mills. In addition, there were also all kinds of water-powered spinning workshops, which also opened Lars Brown's eyes. The water wheels, which were originally used in western countries to fetch water and water the world, were combined with machinery, which allowed them to use the power of water.
After entering the city, Lars Brown found that there were so many alchemists that he couldn't even imagine. The strange alchemy workshops could produce all kinds of alchemy tools and items that only existed in Lars Brown's imagination.
There were the latest flintlocks, alchemy cannons, mechanical pulley crossbows, music boxes that could produce music, hot air balloon airships that were in the manufacturing and experimental stages, new shipyards, and so on. Everything that Lars Browne saw was too much for his eyes to take in.
There were a large number of water towers in the city. If the residents of the city wanted water, they only needed a water pipe to get it. The layout of the city was also very fashionable. There were also several buses pulled by horses on the streets. Some small alchemy items seemed to be very simple in design, but when popularized, little by little, they could change the world.
"Alchemists can really change the world!"
"The world is in the hands of alchemists!"
After arriving here, Lars Brown really understood these two sentences. He fell in love with this city. Although this city did not have the artistic atmosphere and romance of Finnstedt, it seemed to promote the change of history and the change of the times. Lars Brown was deeply moved by the spirit of the people and the feeling of transcending the times.
In the square at the entrance of the Akkad Alchemy College, the holy land of alchemists, there was a statue of the great alchemist Akkad, and a line of words was engraved on the stone block at the foot of the statue.
"Knowledge changes the world!"
Lars Brown stood in front of the statue with a box in his hand, looking at the great alchemist Akkad. As he repeated his words, his eyes became brighter and brighter. "Knowledge changes the world!"
Lars Brown entered the alchemy college, attended a public lecture, and met his childhood idol, Ms. Marina. His biggest dream was to become Ms. Marina's student. Here, he saw what a real alchemy warlock should be like. He saw the highest attainments of alchemy, the alchemy mechanical life, Archimonde, and the miraculous refining methods of the second generation alchemy table.
Lars Brown once again began the entrance examination, but he was still told that he did not have the talent to become an alchemist, and was assigned to the mechanical manufacturing branch. Machinery was a device that could help people reduce the difficulty of work or save effort. Items such as chopsticks, brooms, and tweezers could all be called machinery. They were simple machinery, and complex machinery was composed of two or more simple machinery.
In the end, Lars Brown chose to study here. Instead of becoming a great alchemist like his childhood dream, he became a mechanical manufacturing apprentice.
During this period, Lars Brown received the most advanced knowledge of Akkad Alchemy College, but he could only learn about mechanical manufacturing. He learned how to make glass, make clocks, smelt iron, design ships, learn mathematics, geometry, and some other basic knowledge.
Some of the other branches taught architecture and manufacturing, some taught philosophy and literature, and some taught how to cultivate various crops, raise cattle and sheep, and even medicine and veterinary medicine. The knowledge and categories taught and the knowledge that exploded out made Lars Brown feel as if he had opened the door to a new world.
However, knowledge related to alchemy could only be obtained from public lectures given by some alchemists. This was especially true for those related to chemistry, alchemy gunpowder formulas, the synthesis of various metal materials, the production of special materials, and the production of potions. Ordinary alchemy branch students simply couldn't obtain such knowledge.
Not to mention, alchemists' meditation methods, witchcraft learning, and the production of spellcasting materials, which were only passed down within the alchemist community.
After Lars graduated from Akkad Alchemy College, he could only enter some small workshops or become a small leader in some large workshops, earning a salary that ordinary people would envy. However, he could only teach ordinary workers to make all kinds of ordinary glass handicrafts, spinning machines, new carriages, and other daily necessities.
Some things that involved the production of special metals, such as the production of new guns, alchemy cannons, and the production of special materials, all required alchemy warlocks.
This was especially true for the design of various alchemy items, which required a lot of money and time. The designers recruited by these large workshops must be official alchemist apprentices, or even alchemists. Only these alchemists could enter the official research institutes of the state and cities.
