Chapter 14 (1/2)

­ The Very Antithetical Alchemist (3)

Douglas was running to the forest near the village

Considering his age, he ran very fast

He kept a good distance between Ian and himself

However, Ian knew some tricks

“Haste”

He was a e

He approached Douglas very quickly

“……?”

While Douglas felt so him and turned his head,

“Sleep”

No more hide and seek

It was a low-class sleeping ic

It was strong enough for a young boy

“The flower… I must find…”

Heconsciousness

The herb that would cure the disease of his father

The flower of Randor

‘Oops’

Ian attempted to catch him with one of his arms,

Then he decided to use both of his arlas

‘I still feel aard’

He often forgot that he had returned to being a young child

This wasn’t easily accepted by his body

“Phew…”

After laying Douglas on the ground, Ian sat next to him

Then he started to think deeply about this situation

Firstly, the flower of Randor

‘The flower of Randor neutralizes mana’

It was a vital herb for a e

He never knew about it in his former life

‘To a e, it is a poisonous herb rather than a medicinal herb’

Fortunately, it was a rare herb

In addition, it was nearly impossible to trade or to cultivate this herb

‘Furthermore, its effect is unknown to most people’

Even Ian wasn’t sure about the effect of this herb

Would there be anyone else who knew about the effect of this herb?

‘I need to find out’

The one who taught Ledio about the effect of this flower, or ure it out

“Daddy… Flower… Uhm…”

Douglas said in his sleep

Still, he was seeking the flower of Randor for his father

‘This boy is another problem’

Ian looked at his face insightfully

It gave hiuess even more

‘If I reer from his former face…’

Ian could easily visualize his future face

But as he said, this boy didn’t have anger in his face, unlike his former face

Douglas in his former life was filled with hatred

Of course, he ht that he had hidden it

‘What should I do?’

The deadly poison that Ian consumed in his former life

It was likely las

Actually, it must have been

‘He must have known the poison was for me’

He hated es

Hethe emperor’s plan

‘Should I kill him now?’

The one who threatens Ian the most

Maybe this boy was the only one

Killing him before he became a threat, was one of the only methods

‘But, I can change him, to make him stand on my side’

What if he uses his talents for only Ian, and not Ragnar? What if he brews artifact level elixirs which enhance the power of Ian further, instead of brewing deadly poison?

‘I e the 9th class’

The level of Dragon

He ht have a chance to reach it

‘But’

Humans couldn’t be controlled, without exception

Since his father survived and he didn’t becorow in a different way than in the former life

‘They change quickly’

The human was an animal which never trusted

He already trusted, and it resulted in his death

The only person Ian could trust in this life was,

‘Only my mother’

He decided to not trust anyone except her

The precious present that forave to him

Perhaps, it was rather a curse

“D, daddy… Don’t die… daddy…”

Douglas started to scream in his dream

He htmares

This night his father, which could have been real in the former life

“Mr Mage!”

The voice was co from a distance

It was the soldier, Luca, as running to hihly

He always carried the spear with a red feather

“What is going on?”

“Ii saw you rushi+ng out of the village…”

Luca said while glancing at Douglas

It was the boy who rushed out froe before Ian did

“That boy …”

“I chased hi reckless”
