All of a sudden, a small object appeared on the table, as if Gage had suddenly conjured it form nowhere.This little object made Felix's eyes brighten up, and he was extremely excited. "This is it!"Gage nodded with a smile. "Yes, it's an alchemy furnace."It really was an alchemy furnace! Felix started breathing heavily at the sight.. "An alchemy furnace is a magic weapon. After dripping your blood on it, it'll recognize you as its master and unfold into a bigger object. Of course, given our hostile relationship, you wouldn't trust me."You can have it recognize you as its master first and then treat me."The alchemy furnace that Felix had wished for appeared just like this. He felt like he was dreaming. He had read and reread the book Gerald had given him to the point of being obsessed.He wanted to try it out as soon as possible. And since Gage had said so, why was Felix still hesitating?He took it and dripped his blood on it. It merged into his body, and when it came out
The herbs Felix needed for alchemic refining weren't only needed in a high quantity but also extremely rare. If Felix used his connections to source them, it would take a long time.In the end, he consulted Silas, who then introduced him to Qualls Pharmaceutical."I hadn't expected you to come here personally, Ms. Qualls. I'm flattered," Felix said.Yasmin's manners were impeccable, and the way she spoke was pleasant. "Dr. Zeller, it's my honor to be of use to a genius doctor like you."Felix nodded and took out a file before handing it over. "All the herbs I need are listed here. You can take a look first, Ms. Qualls. If you have any issues, you can tell me and we'll work out the kinks together."Yasmin nodded. "Alright, please wait a minute." Half an hour passed before Yasmin finally finished reading them all."Most of the herbs are doable. We have enough reserves to supply you. There are only a dozen of extremely rare ones, but I can also guarantee the delivery within a mont
Felix looked at Xena speechlessly for a moment. Why was she becoming more and more irrational? Why didn't she tell him earlier if she didn't want him to go?Why did she tell him at this moment?"The headquarters had already issued an order. Why are you telling me to back out now?" he questioned.Xena also knew it was a bit too late to say anything, but she couldn't help herself. "Fine, then let's get back to the point. Three months ago, something strange happened in Seapoint. The residents of the town began sleeping during the day and only waking at night."Their sleep cycles were reversed? Felix clicked his tongue inwardly. This was truly the first time he had heard of such a thing."Why does it sound like they're vampires? But isn't that a fictional thing?" Felix remarked.Xena glared at Felix, signaling for him to take this more seriously. She continued, "The point is, the people in town are completely normal. There's nothing strange besides their sleep cycles. "We've sent p
"Do you think a person's soul can be disguised?" Felix asked. The reason he asked was because of the situation at Seapoint.Two people who appeared physically dead were actually alive, which meant that this should be related to their souls. Gerald had once said that souls were the most complicated things.He had advised Felix not to touch this field; otherwise, he would have driven himself crazy. However, what about the strange events in Seapoint? What if they were related to souls?The Shadow Mask couldn't change the souls, and Billy had deep knowledge of this area, so it wouldn't hurt to ask him."Interesting, why are you asking this?" Billy countered.However, Felix didn't want to expose more of the mission's details, and he remained silent.At that, Billy simply replied, "Of course, it can be disguised. Do you have anything else to ask?"Felix rubbed his nose, feeling a little guilty. Although he owed Billy a favor, he still felt like he was taking advantage of Billy."Do y
At Damien's door stood dozens of people. They were all expressionless, and they all stared at Felix blankly. It was super creepy."You… What do you want?" Felix greeted them awkwardly. His nervousness showed in his eyes.However, no one answered him. They all stood still, staring at him intently.Fortunately, there were sounds of footsteps, and the crowd immediately made way. An old man with a cane and a goatee slowly approached.Felix knew that this old man was well known in Seapoint. He was labeled the Great Teacher. With the headquarters' investigations, it was easy to find the background of Damien's life. In fact, many people worked outside of Seapoint. However, they chose Damien because he had no relatives left. After his grandmother, who depended on him, passed away, he left Seapoint to work. Tragically, Damien himself passed away in a car accident. What was left of him had no one to remember him by—except for some neighbors and some friends."Mr. Docker," Felix took t
Felix smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, but my phone has no signal. I promise to come and pay you back when it's back."When he came out of the supermarket, there were a few more people around Lena. They took the initiative to help Felix hold his bags.The enthusiasm, at least in their eyes, seemed genuine. Honestly, in today's society, it was a miracle that neighbors would even help each other, especially since Damien was a useless nobody.When they got home, Lena and a few of the townsfolk cleaned the house again without Felix asking. Soon, the house looked brand new. After a while, someone came over with a lot of food, cigarettes, alcohol, and many other necessities."This is too much!" Felix said, a little embarrassed.Lena smiled. "Damien, our town has changed dramatically now. To tell you the truth, as long as you don't leave town from now on, you don't have to spend a single penny on your future expenses."Felix pretended to be ecstatic. "Is that true? Aunt Lena, that's
The six real Dragonspines in Felix's body trembled, and his expression changed wildly. This was the first time this was happening, and he was a little scared. He quickly activated Dragons Destroyer, but the trembling didn't stop."What's going on?" Despite the fact that the Dragonspines were trembling within him, his body felt completely normal. After trying various skills, nothing changed, and Felix could only head outside.If he continued like this, he would have to terminate the mission—he didn't want to risk his life. If he couldn't solve it himself, he could only consult Gerald. However, there wasn't a signal in town. The only way he could contact Gerald was to leave Seapoint. But Felix didn't expect that as soon as he left the house, the Dragonspines stopped trembling, as if it were all an illusion.He had a thought. To verify it, he went back inside the house. After a few minutes, the Dragonspines started trembling again."Was there something wrong with the house?"Feli
During the day, Felix wandered around the town alone and saw several trucks entering. However, he didn't head over to talk. He only watched from a distance.Someone from the headquarters had taken the note he had hidden the night before. Felix couldn't find anything strange during the whole process.…In a city over 31 miles away from Seapoint, Xena was worried after reading the note brought back by the driver.Felix had snuck in, but why was everything getting weirder? Xena couldn't help much now. All she could do was contact Seven and tell him what Felix had said in the letter. "My Dragonspines are trembling, but I don't know why. I cannot contact anyone, too."…Another night passed, and Felix grew more irritable. As long as he was in the house, the Dragonspines didn't stop trembling. Now, he could only hope that his fellow apprentices could find a way to bring him Gerald's explanation.Around 10:00 am, the dogs in his area started barking. Felix went outside and saw a co
