Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 138: Making Neutralizers and Alchemical Black Technology (1)

"I understand. I will find time to pay you back for the credits later."

Alfred thanked Aldridge and gave a cloak to Sophia.

"Ok, ok. Let's go then."

"Ah."

Then, the two people wearing cognitive obstruction cloaks came to Horton's Alchemy Material Store not far from the prop shop.

"Magic centrifuge? Sorry, the only two in the store were just bought. The girl seemed to be in a hurry to use them, so I sold them to her."

Henry also explained with a guilty look on his face.

(Eh? I bought two at once. Could it be...?)

Sophia gasped.

Of course she still remembered that Alfred had said that the person who informed her of the existence of the neutralizer was a young female mentor named Michelle.

Moreover, the other party also fell for the succubus's charm potion and joined the hunt for Alfred. It is very likely that she instructed a student to deliberately buy the two magic centrifuges as bait to lure Alfred.

Looking at Alfred's expression, Sophia knew that he must have the same idea as her.

(What should I do now? These are the only two stores in the shopping district where you can buy the Magic Centrifuge. If I ask the instructor to borrow it, I don’t know who to ask…)

But unlike Sophia, Alfred did not despair about the situation.

On the contrary, he was unusually calm.

"Mr. Horton, do you have a paper and pen?"

"Yes, please wait a moment."

After taking the paper and pen, Alfred wrote down a lot of materials quickly.

"Hey, wait a minute, you're not going to..."

“If possible, I would like to get these materials now.”

Alfred smiled and interrupted the stunned Holden.

"I see. I have all the materials here. Please wait a moment."

Horton gave a wry smile, took the piece of paper filled with various alchemical materials, and went to the warehouse behind the store to look for materials.

"Ah, Bernice, what exactly are you going to buy? Don't we need to go find the magic centrifuge now?"

Sophia was concerned about what happened just now and asked curiously.

"I have a solution for the centrifuge."

"There is a way to solve it..."

"If you can't find a ready-made one, you'll have to make one yourself."

Alfred said with a somewhat mischievous smile.

(Make a magic centrifuge?! Um, you’re only a first-year student, right? You really can do something like this…)

Sophia was stunned and silent.

She suddenly remembered that Alfred's mother, Karolina, was a well-known top alchemy scholar in the empire. She was also a top expert in the study of magic devices.

Perhaps Alfred is also a super genius in this area.

Sophia couldn't help but have this thought in her mind, and she felt very envious of Alfred, and even a little jealous.

(If I were born in the Elect family, maybe... No, I would be too sorry for my father and mother.)

She put aside the rude thoughts that emerged in her mind, silently apologized to her parents, and sighed deeply.

Although her parents did not support Sophia's hobbies, they really loved her very much.

The degree of love they gave her made Sophia herself doubt whether her parents were doting on her too much.

Moreover, comparing his parents, who grew up in an aristocratic society, with Alfred's parents would be extremely disrespectful to both parties.

As far as the nobility is concerned, the Duke of Elektra's family is an outlier.

The reason why they are called outliers is that, apart from the first Duke of Elect, there have been almost no normal people in this family who can be recognized by the aristocratic world.

This is not to say that they are all crazy, but the values ​​of the Elect family are very different from those of ordinary imperial nobles. It is so different that the imperial nobles are unwilling to admit that this family is actually imperial nobles like themselves.

Although, the Elect family also has their reasons that they dare not easily provoke them even if they are insulted, degraded, ridiculed, or mocked.

Sophia just couldn't help but think, if she was really born in the Elect family, her dream of becoming an alchemical scientist would at least not be opposed by those family members who loved her so much, right?

"I have gathered everything you want, but the amount of mithril may not be enough. You should use it sparingly."

While Sophia was thinking about something irrelevant to the present, Henry had already come out of the warehouse with a large box of alchemical materials.

"These are enough. Can you give me another bottle of sea snake acid? Oh, and it would be best if I had another bottle of diluent to dilute it, and a larger container with a bottom area about the same size as the bottom of this wooden box, but not too high."

After Alfred checked the materials in the box, he made several new requests to Henry.

"Little girl, what are you planning to do... Never mind, I get it, just wait a moment. I'll be right back."

After Henry finished speaking, he immediately returned to the warehouse.

"Um, are you really planning to make a magic centrifuge yourself?"

"Hmm? Yes, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to make a neutralizer."

"B-But I heard that making that kind of magic device is only in the alchemical science textbooks of the advanced department. Ah, how do you plan to make it?"

Sophia couldn't suppress her curiosity and continued to ask Alfred for details.

"Well... in fact, although it does require a lot of knowledge beyond the syllabus, it's actually not as difficult as you think. I think you'll understand it after we return to the laboratory."

"I see. I'll be looking forward to it."

Sophia replied.

This was not just a compliment, she was really looking forward to it.

A junior who was one year younger than her and had only been in school for a short time actually said that he wanted to make a complicated magic device by himself. If it were someone else, Sophia would definitely think that the other person was joking.

If the other person told a lie just to chat with her, she might be very angry and scold him.

But if the person who said this was Alfred in front of him...

(Ah, what was I thinking!)
