Chapter 17 – Alchemist Genius? (2/2)

“What? How did I open it? I just opened it like this ah, what is so difficult about this?” As expected, the little thirteenth prince’s answer was complete nonsense and it didnot explain this matter at all.

“Seems like it was just luck, this cannot be explained any other way.” Everyone laughed bitterly and thought to themselves, if this kind of luck appeared, no matter how hard the problem was, it would be of no difficulty to solve.

It was just that, was this really just luck?

“All these alchemy formations, I am certain that I have not seen them before, but why do I have such a familiar feeling to them?” The little prodigal son looked at the alchemy notebook and muttered to himself. Afterwards, he made a decision which caused everyone to go into a daze.

“I want to learn alchemy, I want to take a look at all these books.” After he finished saying that, the little thirteenth prince placed the 5 alchemy notebooks within his space ring and the alchemists at the side were not able to prevent him from doing so, as they had no time to react.

“About this, little Ye prince, could you give the 5 alchemy notebooks you just put in your space ring to us, we still have many books here, we can make an exchange.” The alchemists at the side said while taking out many books. These books were from their own collections, normally they would not be willing to take them out, even if they were begged to do so, but right now, they did not care about them.

After the little Ye prince kept all those books, he said a sentence which made everyone collapse.

“I want all these books, but, I’m not exchanging!”

“……”

All the alchemists wanted to cry but had no tears and looked at the emperor with pleading gazes. Right now, they just hoped that the emperor would help them, and think of a way to get the 5 alchemy notebooks.

Actually, even if they did not ask for help, the emperor would also think of a way, because he knew that if those 5 alchemy notebooks were to be placed in the hands of the little prodigal son, there would be no effect whatsoever. Only by handing the alchemy notebooks to the Imperial Household’s alchemists would it be of any help to the empire.

Finally, after discussing, the little thirteenth prince handed over the alchemy notebooks, however, he only loaned it for 3 days. For 3 days, the alchemists are to write down a copy of the alchemy notebooks.

Don’t forget, these alchemy notebooks are only just Ban’s notebooks and not profound alchemy goods. So long as they copied down the contents of the notebook, it would be the same as having the original.

This idea was also suggested by our little thirteenth prince. All of them thought too complicated and completely forgot about such a simple solution, this caused everyone to blush with shame.

Sometimes, the key to solving a problem is a very simple solution. It was just that, many people don’t try to think in the most simplest terms and only think more and more complicatedly, which in the end causes the problem to become more and more troublesome.

“Little Ye prince, could you first give back the books which we had just given you? We will make a copy for you……” The empire’s imperial household’s alchemists all asked weakly. Since there was this solution, they of course thought of this aspect.

Letting the little Ye prince take those precious books was indeed a too wasteful. If it was possible to take them back, then of course they would. Right now, they were not able to deal with their own faces, for their treasured books, they were already throwing caution to the wind.

“Can!” The little thirteenth prince answered very straightforwardly, it was just that there was still another sentence after where he just said: “You all must make a copy of every book you guys have for me too!”

“……”

Was this little brat really as the rumors said, a mentally deficient and silly child? Why is it no matter how I look at him, he just doesn’t look like that and instead seems more like a little sly fox, is he pretending?

At this moment, many people were suspecting, however, it was only just for a moment. As they did not believe that a person was able to pretend like this, and moreover pretend since they were an infant.

The actual fact was that, the little thirteenth prince did not pretend at all, it was just that, he seemed to be lacking a certain something which caused him to be weaker in some aspects, but in other aspects, he was however very strong, for example his memory strength and the alchemy which he is going to learn next.

Perhaps this could all be contributed to a certain point, his luck.
