Chapter 50: Miss Chloe Wants to Learn Alchemy

"Ivy, what do you think?"

Ivy and Ethan, with dark circles under their eyes, crept together at the door of Miss Chloe's bedroom, secretly glancing at the little hen who was concentrating on reading with her back to them, and suddenly they had a strange feeling of being guilty.

Also, why, after spending some time with Ethan, did she seem like an assistant?
Shouldn't she be the one asking Ethan this?

Despite this, Ivy still said honestly, "This may be the effect of the werewolf collar. When the curse of the collar is activated, you and Miss Chloe establish a certain connection, and she will subtly develop the same hobbies as you."

Ethan's hobby is reading.

This is something that all the residents of Ximu Town know. In the first year after he came to the town, people found that he spent almost every day in the town's library. He read all the occult books in the town, and over time he was given the title of "occult expert."

"Miss Chloe was reading a book on alchemy. She even sneaked out of the apartment in the middle of the night and picked some snake king grass from the mountain!"

The book came with the apartment's bookshelf. It was just an introductory basic reading on alchemy. There was also a similar book in the town's public library.

Alchemy is one of the few ways in the world that does not require belief in any gods and still allows one to embark on an extraordinary path. At the same time, alchemy's by-product, potions, is one of the most sought-after items in occult shops. Potions made by high-level alchemists can often be sold at sky-high prices at auctions.

So why are there so few people engaged in such an extraordinary profession that sounds like it has a bright future?
Two years ago, when Ethan took the "Introduction to Alchemy Notes" and asked the president of the Guild of Ximu Town, this experienced middle-aged man woke him up with one word, "What kind of family do you want to learn alchemy?"

The then-president held up four fingers to Ethan.

In the huge town of Ximu, there are only four families with the financial resources to learn alchemy. Among these four families, Ivy is excluded because she is a graduate of the Enlightenment Academy. The other three families have no talent for alchemy. As a result, the rich cannot learn, and the poor... are all working desperately to make money, and they don't even know whether they have the talent to become alchemists.

Ethan's dream of becoming an alchemist was shattered by the cruel reality.

However, things change over time!
He looked at Miss Chloe, who was concentrating on reading the diary, and suddenly had an absurd sense of déjà vu - he had to give up his dream of becoming an alchemist due to poverty, but now he had found a way to make money. In less than a week, he had more than 50 gold lions in his pocket. The children at home no longer had to bow to reality because of poverty...

"The True Story of the Struggle in Ximu Town", a grand serial!

It turns out that this is the most burdensome aspect of the code name “chicken farmer”!
Ethan once again unconsciously fell into the role of an old father.

Ivy and the golden hair on her head squinted at him, "What weird ideas are you thinking of?"

She and Golden Retriever reached a consensus - Ethan had a unique way of thinking, and he could always burst out with amazing wisdom inadvertently. Looking at the expression on his face just now, as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life, it was obvious that this guy was going to say "I have a plan" again.

"Ivy, do you think it's possible for Miss Chloe to become an alchemist?"

Even though she had prepared in advance, Ivy was still shocked by Ethan's shocking question. She didn't even want to answer, but asked directly, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Let a wolf chicken become an alchemist?
You have to know that let alone a border city like Ximu Town, even in the imperial capital, those noble children who have been studying with high-level alchemists since childhood may not necessarily learn anything special. On the road to the extraordinary, it is not a good thing to not have a clear belief system, which will only make humans lost in the process of groping.

Looking across the empire, only those who have both wisdom and talent can embark on this path.

Ethan's plan this time is to turn a little hen into an alchemist.

If those high-level alchemists heard this, they would probably kick Ethan out of the door of the Alchemy Society.

However, Ethan seemed to be unaware of how ridiculous the question he asked was, and he even muttered to himself, "If you think about it carefully, Miss Chloe is also at the age of choosing a career. It's rare that she is interested in something." "You...!"

Even though she had thousands of thoughts in her mind, Ivy couldn't even utter a complete sentence. At this moment, she finally confirmed one thing.

Ethan is a man with a real problem with his brain circuit.

A very big problem.

"Perhaps Miss Chloe didn't understand the contents of the book at all."

Finally, Ivy adopted a roundabout tactic and hinted, "The Alchemy Notebook contains many herbs and creatures needed to make potions. She might just like the illustrations."

She felt that this was how a normal person thinks.

Can a little hen understand alchemy?
Based on her observations of Miss Chloe, although the collar allowed her to understand some human languages ​​and gained intelligence beyond that of small animals, she was still far from humans.

"Don't make rash assertions. Haven't you heard of a saying? Interest is the best teacher for children."

Ethan opened the door and walked in first. "Let's verify it."

The two of them came behind Miss Chloe one after the other. The little hen heard the noise behind her and got up from the floor. When she found out that it was Ethan and Ivy, she suddenly tilted her neck and smiled happily at them.

Although it was a bit strange to describe a hen like this, Ivy felt that Miss Chloe's eyes were sparkling when she looked at them, just like a little child who was full of curiosity and longing for the world.

Then, Miss Chloe used her beak, in a slightly clumsy way, to turn the notebook to a page, and then held the entire book in front of them.

That page is the crucible used to make potions, which is the basis of everything in alchemy.

Chloe needed this badly.

She actually understood the look in the hen's eyes.

Ivy stared at the illustration of the crucible in silence for a long time, then spoke inexplicably, "The research department of the Containment Bureau is in great need of alchemy talents. The cost of learning alchemy should be reimbursed by the branch."

……

Ivy couldn't quite remember how she walked out of Ethan's apartment. She walked back up the stairs to the street, feeling the cold wind blowing in her face. The golden hair on her head drooped in frustration.

God of truth,

She must have been infected by Ethan's weird train of thought!
This level of contamination made her suspect that Ethan himself was some kind of humanoid cursed creature that they had never seen before.

And now, as the person in charge of the Ximu Town Intelligence Base Station, she will write an application to the Gear City Branch.

Yes, she was going to use a letter to convince the branch's finance department to reimburse the cost of a little hen's alchemy studies.
