    As soon as Hugo entered the beaker-shaped Alchemy Academy, he smelled all kinds of strange smells, which made Hugo's nose feel a little stinging.  Occasionally, there will be explosions. Alchemist is just a great profession that involves risking one's life, Hugo couldn't help but think.  "That's not how this thing is made! How can you be an alchemist if you can't even make a neutralizing agent!" Hugo heard a roar coming from a distance, and saw a man with a 37-inch hairstyle and a tall figure.  A somewhat fat middle-aged man with acne marks on his face was scolding a female student.  This is probably Antinomi¡¯s father, Professor Rouse.  I wonder if Antinomi will look like this in the future.  Just when Hugo was thinking about life, Antinomi appeared out of nowhere and walked towards his father.  "" Antinomi whispered something to Rouse, but Hugo, who was standing too far away, did not hear clearly.  "You want money? How dare you ask me for money? Didn't I give it to you this month? Look at the children of Giovanni's family. They never ask for money from their families. Look at you again, how long has it been? How long has it been?  ? Alchemy, I can¡¯t achieve anything, and I spend my money very quickly. I¡¯ll figure it out myself!¡± After saying that, he walked towards Hugo, looking like he was about to leave.  "Hello, Professor Rouse." Hugo greeted.  "You are my student? How come I haven't seen you before?" Rouse asked proudly, puffing up his belly.  "Oh, no, my name is Hugo. I was lucky enough to taste the mysterious vanilla tea made by the professor at Boem's this morning, and I thought it was very magical!" Hugo didn't want to tell him that he was Antinomi's friend.  "Oh! Haha, he turns out to be Boem's friend! You told me earlier! What do you want here? Buy some vanilla tea?" Rouse laughed immediately when he heard that Hugo and Boem were related.  I thought another gold coin was coming in.  "Oh, no, Professor Routh. I came to see Antinomi today for something. I recently partnered with him to make some money." As soon as Hugo saw Routh's attitude, he decided to help Antinomi get some money.  .  "Oh? Really? That's great! Antinomi, come here quickly! Your friend is here to find you!" Rouse waved to Antinomi who was watching timidly from behind.  "Here, here are 100 gold coins! Since you are doing business with Hugo, you must do it well, you know?" Rouse patted Antinomi's shoulder kindly again, nodded to Hugo and went straight  Walked out of the academy.  "What did you say to him?" Antinomi looked at Hugo suspiciously. Hugo made his father change his attitude with just one sentence, which made Antinomi feel extremely unscientific.  "I said I was Boem's friend, it's that simple. I didn't expect your dad to suddenly" Hugo actually didn't expect that Boem would change Rous's attitude.  "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Now that we have money, I will buy some supplies and we will set off to Lake Heber today!" Antinomi had obviously despaired of her father for a long time.  "Well, okay! I'll go back and get the gun first. See you at the school gate later." Hugo bought another piece of fabric on the way there to wrap his gun, and walked around the city with a gun.  Walking around is never a good idea.  Moreover, this gun is far more powerful than civilian guns, so it would be no fun to be discovered.  Hugo quickly arrived at the school gate with his gun. Seeing the traffic coming and going at the T-junction in front of the school gate, Hugo began to be in a daze.  On the second day after arriving in Pic City, I started running for a living. Isn¡¯t it too tiring? Although Hugo felt that he didn¡¯t enjoy life very much, he hid in the apartment and slept a few times, thinking about Sean.  Thinking about Cecilia, he was still very willing.  "Hey! Hugo!" Antinomi came over carrying a backpack of things, interrupting Hugo's thoughts.  "Here, this is the acorn bomb I made. It will explode when you throw it. Be careful if it falls on the ground! Although it is not very powerful, it is still very painful." Antinomi handed Hugo a small bag  , Hugo opened it and saw that there were about five or six acorn bombs lying inside.  "Since it's not very powerfulthen what's the use of it." Hugo had a black line on his face.  ¡°It¡¯s of some use after all, it¡¯s better than nothing, better than nothing¡­¡± Antinomi laughed dryly.  "How do we get there?" Hugo returned to the topic.  "It would take four days to walk back and forth, but I rented a carriage. I'll probably be back tomorrow morning!" Antinomi said, leading Hugo into a brightly lit underground passage.  "What is this place?" Hugo asked as he looked at the people passing by. Are there people living underground in Big City?  "Subway, haven't you seen it? It's a train under the city. These tracks connect the main areas of the city. Oxford is the main subway station." Antinomi explained to Hugo and bought two tickets.  ?I took the ticket at the door and took Hugo onto the subway.  "This is indeed much faster, but I don't think it's necessary! It doesn't take long to walk, and it would be faster to drive." The subway at 8 o'clock in the morning was already full of people, Hugo grabbed the handrail and said doubtfully  .  "It's because there are a lot of people driving that the subway exists. Have you ever seen a traffic jam?" Antinomi laughed. Hugo always felt like he was being laughed at Soon Hugo arrived at the city gate,  When I entered the city in Gavin's carriage yesterday, I didn't see the appearance of Piccolo City. Now I can see that it is not comparable to Dunwall City. The city wall alone is more than one meter higher than Dunwall City.  Even though it is only one meter, Piccolo City is several times larger than Dunwall City. This small meter means the gold coins that can crush Hugo to death and the sweat that drowns Hugo.  "Although it is very majestic, you will get tired of it after seeing it a few times. Look at it less and keep your first love mentality. Let's go, the carriage is over there." Antinomi joked.  "Speaking of first love, have you ever been in love?" Hugo asked.  "I guess there is" Antinomi squeaked, and Hugo felt as if he had mentioned something not so good "You call this a carriage?" Hugo looked at an old horse and a horse in front of him.  It's a flatbed truck used to transport goods, and I feel like I've been cheated.  "Hey, hey the economy is in recession, you know." Antinomi smiled dryly, put his backpack in the car, and sat in front of the car.  "I never thought you could drive a carriage." Hugo said, climbing onto the flatbed truck, taking off the gun on his back and putting it in front of him.  "I won't talk about it anymore, I'm in tears every time I say it!" Although Hugo couldn't see Antinomi's face, Hugo always felt that he was proud "You can get acorns in the forest here, that's it.  The raw material for acorn explosive bombs. It is said that the oak trees here absorb the power of the fire element, which makes the acorns explosive." Antinomian drove the car and introduced to Hugo where alchemy materials could be collected nearby.  place.  "Sea urchins can also be collected here. Their round bodies are covered with thorns, which are also very effective for hitting people. Oh! There is also the Ghost Laughing Mushroom, a poisonous mushroom that will make people laugh wildly after eating it" Getting closer  At noon, the two stopped to have something to eat and then set off, finally arriving at Lake Heber at one o'clock in the afternoon.  Lake Heber is located in a forest. Hugo and Antinomi tied their horses outside the forest and walked towards it.  "Be careful, Hugo. There are a lot of slimes here. They evolve very quickly due to long-term drinking of Hebel Lake water and eating some alchemical herbs. Most of them can restore skills, water healing, or wood healing."  Antinomi and Hugo were currently lying in the grass approaching a bush of mysterious herbs.  "Is this what the mysterious herb tea is made of? I can't tell, it looks so ordinary." Hugo asked in a low voice, looking at a green grass in front of him.  "Yes, but it has to go through a lot of steps and add other things. I can't do it yet. By the way, have you ever drank mysterious vanilla tea?" Antinomi asked in surprise.  "I drank it at Boem's this morning. It tasted really good!" Hugo closed his eyes and thought about it again.  "When did you have such a good relationship with that fat man? I thought you were lying to my dad this morning." Antinomie dug out the mysterious vanilla completely and carefully put it into her backpack.  "Look, look! Is that a gunweed?" When Hugo was about to see Heber Lake, he saw a few grasses that were standing straight up in the sky, as thick as an adult's thumb, and with a furry section at the end.  Stem shouted excitedly.  "Yes! Yes! Haha, 200 gold coins! Here I come!" Before Antinomi could run over, she was grabbed by Hugo.  "Didn't you say that the commission fee is only 100 gold coins?" Hugo asked grimly.  "Well Hey, hey. Let's talk about it after we finish collecting" Antinomi said with an ugly expression.  "Haha, five pieces of gunweed! It lasted me a long time! I didn't expect to find it so quickly. I thought I would spend at least one night here!" After a while, the two of them appeared to rest next to the blue Heber Lake.  , prepared to drink a few bottles of Heber Lake water and set off back to the city.  "You can try taking a few sips of Heber Lake water! Someone once planned to make Heber Lake water into a drink and sell it, and they even advertised, "The water of Heber Lake is a bit sweet"! It's a pity that it was suppressed by the Alchemy Academy. That poor guy  The guy has a lot of money." It can be seen that Antinomi is very happy.  Hugo leaned over and picked up some lake water with his hands and tried to take a sip. Sure enough, the sweetness quenched his thirst and he felt that all the fatigue in his body was eliminated. He couldn't help but say: "Quiet your thirst, and your body's thirst will be quenched!" "Shashasha"  In the grass not far awayThere was a sudden noise.  Hugo waved his hand and signaled Antinomi to pack up his things and retreat. He took out the gun from his back and loaded the elemental energy box and magazine.  A blue slime jumped out of the "sand" grass, with a small blue crystal core in the center of its body.  "Bang" Hugo fired a shot, and the bullet accurately hit the blue slime's body, shattered inside the slime's body and then passed through the body - causing no damage at all!
