[A few months have passed, and the Roya Circus has become more and more popular. They started touring, collecting all kinds of deformed humans as actors on the way, and gradually made this performance into the signature program of this circus.
San Lorenzo
The girl looked at the screaming monster on the performance stage with a look of indignation.
The audience beside them let out bursts of excited screams, and seemed to like this kind of program very much.
"Hey! Stop it! You are too cruel!" The girl dressed as an aristocrat jumped from the auditorium to the stage with a lady's rapier in her hand.
The glamorous animal trainer girl did not dare to hurt this noble girl, she was at a loss.
"Yes, yes, yes! We will never treat it like this again!" The circus owner came to the stage with a respectful and obsequious face and gave the animal trainer a wink. The animal trainer understood and drove the monster into the cage and pushed it back behind the curtain.
Seeing that the monster no longer endured the beating, the girl nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Don't bully it again in the future! If you let me know, I won't spare you!"
"This beautiful and kind lady, we pariahs are too ignorant, and we will never do this in the future!"
Under the flattery of the circus owner, the girl felt that she had done her best, and returned to the auditorium to continue watching other shows.
The monster behind the scenes was still tightly tied up. It remembered the appearance of the girl just now, and its eyes were full of gratitude.
What a kind lady she is!
The animal trainer looked at it, which was obviously in a good mood, with disgust, and said, "Oh, what an idiot, you're going to perform acrobatics in the future, it's much more uncomfortable than these!"]
—From "The Wrath of Cthulhu"
Early in the morning, Zhou Yu woke up from a deep sleep and had no dreams all night.
Pulling open the closed curtains, Zhou Yu finally felt better as he looked at the bright sunshine outside.
After washing up, Zhou Yu went downstairs and knocked on the door of the guest room, asking, "Are you awake? Franken?"
Franken was so human, Zhou Yu felt that he couldn't treat him as an experimental subject, so he could only treat him as a borrowed guest.
There was a "bang—" in the room, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Zhou Yu opened the door, and sure enough, he saw the huge Franken trying to get up from the ground in panic.
Zhou Yu showed a helpless expression, forget it, let's raise him as a child first.
"It's time to eat, come with me."
Zhou Yu signaled Franken to come out and follow him to the dining room. This house is very large, and the living room is connected to the dining room. Because the meal was not ready, Zhou Yu first asked Franken to sit on the carpet in the living room.
No way, the sofa is too small for him, and he can't even stretch his legs.
Breakfast was still yesterday's black bread and cheese. Zhou Yu also found two eggs in the kitchen cupboard, fried two sun-dried eggs, and placed them together on a plate. Regardless of the taste, they looked much better.
There was no stool suitable for Franken in the dining room, so Zhou Yu simply brought the food to the living room to eat.
Franken thanked him, and ate the bread and eggs obediently. Zhou Yu also had an egg, but he still had no appetite. Seeing that Franken didn't seem to be full, he put the egg on his plate.
Franken was stunned looking at the eggs on the plate, his eyes moved.
He always felt that he had made the Creator unhappy, so he was careful not to say a word. Last night he had a nightmare, dreaming that he was sold to a circus and tortured.
Although he has just woken up from the endless darkness, he seems to be born with the ability to speak, has a clear consciousness, and knows how to perceive words and expressions, or an instinct for emotional perception. He can distinguish the good intentions of the creator from the malicious.
"Thank you, Father!" He moved the stiff muscles on his face and showed a smile, which was so ferocious that it could scare a child into tears.
His head is made up of several skins of different colors, more than half of the facial skin is normal white, and the other part is a darker red color, the lips are also dry and cracked, and there are only two eyes It is a complete pair, revealing the pure emotion that belongs to human beings.
In fact, in all fairness, except for the traces of stitches, this face is still barely visible, especially those clear blue eyes, which neutralized his natural hostility.
But for some reason, Franken just gives people the feeling that he is a monster, and the breath all over his body makes people uncomfortable, just like human beings are afraid of the unknown in the dark, which is disgusting.
It seemed that as long as he saw his appearance, there would be a voice in his mind suggesting that this was a monster, completely different from humans.
But Franken is not aware of this, he even feels that he is a human being, because he is a human creation, and the identity of the creator will give him a sense of belonging.
Zhou Yu looked at Franken's ferocious smile, and said expressionlessly: "Okay, I'm going to the laboratory, you stay here first, except for the basement and outside, you can wander around wherever you want."
He was used to seeing Feng Xing Ligui's appearance, so naturally he would not be afraid of Franken's smile. In the final analysis, Franken, who is still flesh and blood, is no more terrifying than the lucky ghost king.
Zhou Yu's usual performance gave Franken an illusion—his smile was not bad.
So he laughed again, nodded meekly, and said, "Okay, father."
"By the way, don't call me father. I'm not your father. Calling me like this will cause me big trouble. You'd better call me brother." Zhou Yu said coldly after packing up the dinner plate.
Even if he doesn't hate Franken, he has no sense of belonging to this world and is somewhat repulsive. He can no longer actively force himself to integrate into this world as he did in his previous life, pretending to be friendly.
As he is actually very old, his heart is also old, and he has lost his enthusiasm for this world.
He just wanted to find Feng Xing quickly, so he unconsciously appeared indifferent to people in this world.
Franken's clear blue eyes dimmed, and Nuonuo said: "Okay, father, brother..."
Zhou Yu locked the door of this house to ensure that Franken would not slip out like last time, and then came to the basement where he woke up yesterday.
The basement was still in a mess, Zhou Yu cleaned up the fragments of the test tubes on the ground, and then began to rummage through the alchemy test bench for what he needed.
This alchemy experiment bench is the most sophisticated instrument in the entire laboratory, and it was a second-hand experiment bench bought by the original owner after spending a lot of money.
In this world, alchemy has also been magicalized. The invented test bench has a mechanical arm with a delicate structure that can help with experiments, and a source spar that can measure the adaptability of spellcasting. You can add it to this test bench as long as you need it. The corresponding equipment is a must-have laboratory equipment for official alchemists, and the price is naturally extremely high, and the original owner can only afford second-hand goods.
Zhou Yu took out the source spar according to the location in his memory, put it in his palm and clenched it tightly.
The source spar quickly lit up with a slight blue light, which became brighter and brighter, until the light illuminated the entire basement, Zhou Yu let go of the spar in his palm.
The adaptability of spellcasting is measured by the brightness of the source spar. The brighter it is, the more magic power can be stored in the body. The original owner's sister, Catherine, was known as Toria's rare one in a century for her red light like a candle. The genius I met, was received by the king, which shows that the talent is outstanding.
But now, Zhou Yu's spar lit up with a bright and soft light like countless small night lights, which was much brighter than candlelight. If it spread, it would be enough to shock the world.
Zhou Yu naturally knew what such brightness meant. He originally thought that he would have some improvement in spellcasting adaptability, at least he would no longer have zero magic conductor quality, but he didn't expect it to improve so much.
fair enough.
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up with hope. If he can learn magic and have more privileges, then the probability of finding Feng Xing will be much higher!
Didi! ! !
The sound transmission stone in Zhou Yu's pocket rang.
Zhou Yu took out the sound transmission stone sent to the original owner by the Alchemist Academy to check the news.
A cold mechanical voice sounded.
"Kalil, a first-level alchemy apprentice, the time limit for leave has come, please return quickly. The college has started the final grade test. If you fail to take the test, you will be automatically expelled from the college. If your grades fail to reach the second-level apprentice, you will be automatically expelled from school."
After speaking, the sound transmission stone became silent.
Zhou Yu thought for a while, and then he remembered that this period of time was the assessment period of the Alchemist Academy. After the original owner was admitted with excellent grades, he became obsessed with searching materials in the library and researching creation experiments, so he missed countless classes , which made many instructors dissatisfied. In the end, they directly invited more than two months of vacation, completely ignoring the college courses. Zhou Yu will naturally bear the bitter fruit.
Ordinary alchemy apprentices don't care even if they fail to reach the second level at the end of this semester. They can take the exam again, and at worst they will repeat the grade. As for Kalil, a disobedient guy, the academy directly threatened to drop out of school.
In fact, Zhou Yu didn't intend to continue taking classes at the Alchemist Academy, but the identity of this alchemist was still very useful. He decided to go to the Alchemist Academy to take a certificate instead of studying in that miscellaneous academy.
Whether it is for the original owner or Zhou Yu, the things taught in the academy are just scripted and useless.
The ability of the original owner to create Franken is enough to prove his strength, and Zhou Yu, who has his memory, has already mastered this knowledge. Compared with the restricted thinking of the original owner, he is more open-minded, and has a higher attainment in alchemy.
His super memory from the previous life has also been strengthened in this life.
For many alchemists, it takes a lot of time to memorize the matching and names of those alchemy materials, not to mention the research on the properties and transformation directions of various materials, but the knowledge required for an alchemist apprentice to become an alchemist is enough Let ordinary people go from youth to middle age.
For such a profession that mainly strives for profound knowledge, Zhou Yu's super memory is undoubtedly perfect.
After tidying up the things on the experimental bench, Zhou Yu suddenly turned to the ancient book that the original owner found in the library.
Looking at the book that awakened Franken, Zhou Yu hesitated.
This book has a thick black cover, with a few incomprehensible symbols written in gold-plated fonts on the cover, the whole book looks simple and heavy.
But it also exudes an uncomfortable unknown atmosphere.
As if opening the pages of the book would bring about some disaster.
Zhou Yu was in a daze for a moment, and stretched out his slender palm with well-defined joints to caress the cover of the book.
The cover looks like a rough texture, but it feels soft and smooth, which is amazing.
Turning the pages of the book, what comes into view is a picture.
Zhou Yu frowned as he looked at the picture that took up a whole page.
The image of a giant deep-sea octopus leaps onto the page, and the smooth, graceful lines drawn in black ink bring the painting to life.
This octopus with its teeth and claws on the paper exudes a deceptive meaning, and the deep majesty revealed all over its body shocks people's hearts.
The limbs of a large octopus wrap around a sentence at the bottom of the page.
It was written in Old Continental, and most people really couldn't recognize what it meant, but fortunately, the original owner was very knowledgeable, and Zhou Yu quickly recognized the meaning of this sentence.
"The oldest and strongest emotion of human beings is fear; the oldest and strongest fear comes from the unknown." ①
Zhou Yu didn't realize that after he read this sentence, the books on the bookshelf in the laboratory vibrated slightly, and the dust fell down rustlingly, landing on the same vibrating ground.
Inside the house, Franken, who was nestled safely in the living room, raised his head, his blue eyes turned into a bottomless deep blue.
