"Only alchemy warlocks can design alchemy items and props!"
"I'm sorry, but we only recruit alchemy warlocks!"
"Does anyone who isn't an alchemy warlock want to join us?"
Lars Brown had been looked down upon by many people in some military workshops and official research institutes, which made him completely understand the threshold of alchemy in this world. However, he was not willing to go to those small workshops to be an ordinary master, even though he could live a very comfortable life with his knowledge.
While Lars was carrying out his own experiments, he was looking for sponsors to support his experiments. He said that he was designing and improving the products of these small workshop owners, but in reality, he was using their money on his own experiments.
Lars was researching a power that could drive industrial development with the help of the power of nature, just like wind and water. However, this was a large-scale project that involved all aspects of knowledge, and it required a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out experiments.
Lars, on the other hand, could only rely on deception and deception to obtain funds for his own experiments. After spending many years in poverty, he, who was now 30 years old, still had not achieved anything. On the contrary, he had a bad reputation near the city, which made it impossible for him to survive in the city.
Finally, he found his big sponsor in a small city far away from Te。. It was the owner of a shipyard that made some small and medium-sized merchant ships. Lars Brown pretended to be an alchemy warlock, forged an official alchemy warlock badge, and persuaded the owner of the shipyard to invest in his research on alchemy items.
For the first time, he discovered the existence of steam and felt the power of steam. It was like wind and water in nature. Lars Brown promised that he would create a new type of alchemy ship that could sail on the sea without the help of sails and wind.
"This is a ship that can definitely change the world, a real alchemy ship. It will replace all the old ships and make them faster and more powerful!"
"Think about it, it can push a bigger ship forward, carry more cargo, and move faster on the sea!"
At that time, you will find that the entire Sean City-State Alliance will order ships from you. You will become the largest shipbuilding workshop owner in the Sean City-State Alliance. Whether it is at home or abroad, everyone will come to visit you! "
"Then, all of this only requires a small investment from you now, and you can obtain an infinitely beautiful future!"
Lars Brown received the first big investment in his life. He built his own alchemy workshop and used his knowledge and ability. For the first time, he felt that his life was full of meaning. Even if he couldn't become an alchemist, he could still design alchemy items that would influence and shock the world.
However, a few months later, Lars Braun was discovered to be pretending to be an alchemist. No matter how he tried to explain, the owner of the shipbuilding workshop arrested him as a liar. The sheriff of the city sentenced him to half a year in prison.
After Akkad Alchemy College found out that he had cheated in the name of an alchemist, it was announced that Lars had been stripped of his student status. Lars, who had a bad reputation, was given a sarcastic nickname: Fake Alchemist Lars.
After half a year of imprisonment, under a lot of ridicule and contempt, Lars Brown left the city-state of Teplius and returned to his hometown, Finnlit.
However, when Lars Braun returned to his hometown, he found that his parents had already died of illness. After wandering outside for nearly 20 years, when he returned to his hometown, he only saw tombstones, empty houses, and a clock workshop that had been disbanded.
Everything had changed with the passage of time. Time had changed everything, and Lars, who was proud and arrogant, had gradually worn away his edges, leaving only empty dreams.
Lars found that his matter had also spread in Finnlit City. The circle of alchemy warlocks was very small. Everyone knew the reputation of the fake alchemist Lars. Lars Brown did not expect to become famous in the alchemy warlock circle in this way.
He had lost everything. Lars cried in pain in his empty home, which made him feel so much pain that he wanted to die. He remembered what his father had said to him when he left his hometown.
"Your heart is higher than the sky, but your life is thinner than paper!"
Lars wandered around the empty rooms and attics, recalling the first half of his life, holding a portrait of his family, sitting on the stairs, crying and laughing.
"Your heart is higher than the sky, but your life is thinner than paper!"
"Ha ha ha, your heart is higher than the sky, but your life is thinner than paper!"
This proverb seemed to be a portrayal of his life. His unyielding heart was always surging. He had a great dream of changing the world. He longed to become a legendary alchemist like Akkad and Marina, but reality gave him a heavy blow. He couldn't become an alchemist, he was just a fake alchemist.
"Ha ha ha ha, father, you are right!"
"But I really don't want to give up! I don't want to give up! I don't want to give up! "
"Why? Why is it like this? Why is fate so cruel? I want to be an alchemist. What's wrong with that? "
"Is it wrong for me to have a dream? Is it wrong for me to have a dream? "
Lars roared crazily in the room. He felt despair, disappointment, pain, and finally, his eyes gradually lost their luster. A few days later, he decided to leave this place again. He would give up everything and go to the countryside to be an ordinary person.
At this time, an unexpected person knocked on the door of his hometown. His childhood rival, Fat Mike, found him, but this time he didn't come to laugh at him, but to invite him to join his research institute.
When he was a teenager, Mike was mean and mocked Lars. But now, he had become mature and steady. He had become an official alchemist, and Lars met him at his lowest time. This made Lars feel helpless. He wanted to find a hole in the wall to crawl into.
"If you really don't want to give up, would you like to try again?"
"Come on, join my alchemy research institute. We are working on a hot air balloon airship project!"
Lars looked at Fat Mike in disbelief: "Why? Why did you choose me? I am just a … "
Lars said with a bitter smile on his face: "A fake alchemist, a fake alchemist Lars!"
Fat Mike nodded and said: "I know, but so what? Even if you are not an alchemist, your intelligence and wisdom will not be hidden! "
"I believe you, Lars! Believe me, I know you better than anyone! "
Fat Mike's words brought a huge turning point and change to Lars' life, making the dark sky suddenly full of light.
They sat together, talking about some crazy things in their youth and childhood, blaming each other and canceling each other. The jealousy, hatred, and disgust of the past, at this moment, seemed to have become precious memories.
Lars talked about his life over the years, his frustrations, and the various blows he had suffered. In the end, the two of them got drunk. The next day, Lars joined the Mike Alchemy Institute, and from here, he began a different life.
