- Tatatsumi POV
Once I was in the distance to visit the village, I had to admit now that I knew about the chemicals in the air. I can see why when I get inside the village, I can see people experimenting around here.
From what I can gather this village is more modern compared to most areas in this place because everyone here practices the art of alchemy.
The houses here are the same as my world with some stone or wooden houses in this place. But what caught my attention was the actual laboratory this place belonged to because I could smell the chemicals in the area.
Looking around I must admit
that this place certainly looks interesting because I see some people dressed like scientists but others normal people. The problem is that they keep talking about different topics that I don't understand.
But there are two words that are heard when I recognize the term used.
Alchemy and Dorothea.
The scientific area in this place as well as the modern buildings along with what I believe to be some Golems in the controlled area then this place must be a rare alchemy related village now.
From what I remember what my parents said about Alchemy, he explained it as a taboo because it broke away from the way of the God of people.
For what I say full fucking load.
What I learned is that people here are superstitious about the workings of alchemy and base it on magic because they have no understanding of alchemy because people hate it because of its use of science it is natural to break their beliefs with logic.
The use of alchemy from several religions in some parts of the Empire because they made similar to magic because alchemists wanted to explain the reason they made more religions that people hated in the alchemist community.
At least that was the info I got from the Eastern Region about the alchemy subjects of the barmaid, but I was more surprised that Dorothea lived around this place.
For someone like him with world-class talent that even Shura recruits, he said, I have to admit that he is good at what he does especially the fact that he uses body modification on himself to easily handle Leone's strength when he [Lionel] is active.
Shura noted he was also an alchemist as well as having many body modifications and he had world-class talent like the other Wild Hunt members. He was very old, however, combined with alchemy and Teigu, he looked very young.
His teigu is called the Blood Collection: Absordex because the tiny tool allows one to become a kind of vampire in the shape of a fang.
Dorothea used her Teionya to bite the enemy to kill them, while also sucking their blood. The bite victim [Abosorbdex] dried up but the details of this process are not yet known. After absorbing the blood from the enemy, Dorothea's strength and regenerative abilities became enhanced.
Heck, he even mentioned that
the taste of blood varies depending on the victim. And my blood is said to contain the highest amount of nutritional value while a normal death row inmate has the least amount of flavor.
Maybe I should worry about my well-being ...
However, when he started to lose his strength, his facade disappeared. Although her body was small, she had enhanced physical strength that she gained through body modification, capable of throwing a tall adult man over.
air and even press alone Leone.
According to Shura, his alchemy and Stylish science could have been combined had the man lived and even advanced even to raise the Stylish Humanoid Dangerous Beast and reproduce it even after his death.
He also transformed the Cosmina after the death of his brain into a Dangerous Beast Hybrid and implanted a Philosopher's Stone in his chest that allowed him to live even after being cut off by Murasame....
Hold an...
My eyes widened as I forgot that something like the Philosopher's Stone existed in this world and that stone allowed Dorothea to survive after a single slash from Murasame.
Damn it now I want to learn alchemy just to remake the Philosopher's Stone so that I can prepare to fight against Gozuki in the future or Akame. Maybe I should take the time to ask him to be his student or something to learn from him.
Maybe I could offer my blood in return or something else like information, I would even trade Teigu just to become his disciple. While in the manga I can at least say he's a very gray color character I can at least believe a little bit and not be entirely evil.
uh...
Maybe it's just a crime line considering he drank his victims to dry their blood, but hey I killed a lot of people before, so to be honest there's no big difference. Only lower than two crimes then if that's the case.
The only reason I even considered asking for his help was because I remembered some events in the manga because even though he had never taken part in a mass murder, he still killed people just out of boredom.
At least I can tell if he'll be a threat if he wants to, but for now, I need strength to survive. As the saying goes, absolute power trumps everything even corruption and greed.
Still, even though his knowledge of body modification might be useful and maybe I can take some things from this place to learn more about the art of alchemy.
But once I became interested in the topic of studying alchemy, they seemed to be completely shocked by that fact and even told me a few things about the place even to the point of explaining the chemicals in the air itself.
producing a Danger Beast repellent in midair that honestly surprised me.
A self-replicating chemical that forced the Danger Beast away from the home village they named the Alchemist Quarry.
I was confused as to how they called it a mine without actual mines until they told me that they had golems digging out new materials for them to use in alchemy research on the outskirts of their village.
I only nodded in understanding it because there were several Earth and cave-type Danger Beasts living inside the mine so their golems did battle as they had to take minerals and stones from their personalities.
It must be admitted that this place is the most advanced I have ever seen in a world that is considered magical and full of science considering the general definition of technology is confusing to understand.
Knowing them, I then asked another question to the two alchemists in a curious tone to them, "Tell me do you two know where exactly the world-class famous alchemist Dorothea is here? I was wondering to study some of his research notes if possible?"
Hearing that, both of them only sighed which made me raise an eyebrow as one of them responded to me worriedly but a little worried, "You want to be that old female student? We will be your guess, but Dorothea is grumpy and a little crazy in her alchemy. Although I have heard he is looking for hunters to hire lately to get more parts or core Danger Beasts for his research, but they are always Class 1, Specialized, and so on, or sometimes the Super."
Hunters huh?
Hunter is a term used by people whose labels mean to them that hunters always hunt Danger Beasts for money or sport. There was even a Hunting Guild for them if a large amount of Beast Danger started to attack the other settlements in the village.
When you think about it, they are mercenaries as long as the topic of the Danger Beast is on the table, they will be interested in the subject.
Wait did he say he knew where Super Class was!!
Hearing this I couldn't help but say the word out loud as I was shocked at the two people but quickly apologized as soon as I couldn't believe it, "Wait for him to know where to find some Super Class Danger Beasts!! Oh, sorry about my voice but. .he knows where to find her!"
To be honest, I was a little surprised by the fact that he knew the location of a
Super Class Danger Beast. The Super Class doesn't want anything with anything weaker because they tend not to want to show up on their own.
They had their special territory because their emergence alone changed the entire ecosystem and the Empire had never been near or had noted that if there were more Super Class Danger Beasts.
Even meeting a Super Class was the same as meeting a legendary Pokemon that they had was very difficult or almost impossible to collect or find.
But another reason why they did not appear like that was because those monsters were basically enough to cause natural phenomena and disasters. Every sane person wanted to avoid them unless they had the strength to match them.
In a way, they are similar to Elder Dragons in the Monster Hunter game in a very unique way.
Returning to the conversation, I nodded my head at the two as I was confident in my skills as I spoke to them confidently, "Well, I happen to be quite good at hunting so I'm sure I can pick up some. Will you take me in which direction is he good sir?"
From there, they looked at me with pity as one of them sighed as he began to explain to me the direction to which to go, "Huh. Just skip the path of the rocky formation from there and go straight to the forest you will see a huge stone castle surrounded by golems that cannot be missed. Just knock on the gate he'll come by himself to see you. All right, then good luck, son."
Nodding at this I started my path to where that direction couldn't possibly be difficult right?
...
...
*Boom*
*BZZT*
*SWOOSH*
Okay, I am very right because what that person failed to mention was the fact that the forest was filled with a group of Class 2 and 1 Danger Beasts living in this area. And these people don't make it easy for me to approach Dorothea's house.
I had to use my [Conqueror Haki] and [Big League] balls to defend because my spear in my hand was already stained with blood on the axe, the scythe, the scythe, and the tip of his spear was from the large number of Danger Beasts in the area.
Inevitably I also noticed the fact that each of them happened to be much stronger than usual. But the beast aura was strange because I sensed they were using [Haki Observation] they all had a strange color.
If I were a bettor, then I would say that all these Beast Dangers had been tried to increase their strength drastically. I have to wonder what Dorothea did to make them into true beasts.
No matter what I have to do is get him and ask if not then I will cut my losses for now although I still have to survive just to get to his palace first.
