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”
