Chapter 461 Goodwin, a Name in History
Chapter 461 Goodwin, a Name in History
Oh my god... At this moment, Zhou Ning's scalp tingled when he heard this name. He once again felt the inevitability of fate, as if an invisible hand was controlling his destiny.
Even Jasmine couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I remember his name. He was already the top alchemist in my time! Are you sure he's the one you're facing?"
"It can't be wrong."
Zhou Ning couldn't help but complain helplessly. Although he had come into contact with beings of the same level more than once, this time he was really shocked.
There have always been various coincidences that have allowed me to see or come into contact with this name.
The first time I saw his name was in the diary of the invisible man Holweg, the second time was when I bought his alchemy book in the bookstore, the third time was when I bought his book again in the underground market, the fourth time was when I saw him become the personal grandfather of Pirate King Zhou Ning in the time-travel simulation of the "Apocalypse" world, the fifth time was when I saw his name again in the tomb of the Elf King, and now is the sixth time, and now I am about to face Him directly.
In the field of mysticism, there has always been a saying that more coincidences than coincidences.
He had already begun to regret accepting this commission.
Windgun, also known as Goodwin, is an ancient elven court alchemist, a figure even older than the Four Heroes. When the Pirate King Zhou Ning traveled through time, he had already become the grandfather in his ring. Centuries ago, during the War of Gods, he was already capable of refining mythical creatures. Even then, he dreamed of dissecting and refining gods. His true identity may be the president of the Life Alchemy Society. He has now been certified by Ignatius Woods as a high-ranking member of the Church of Alchemy and Craftsmanship. He is also the mysterious teacher mentioned by Charles VII.
He has left deep traces in history in various ways, yet he is vaguely detached from history. No matter which identity he is, he is a creepy existence.
To Zhou Ning, it was as if a character who only existed in a story had suddenly appeared before him. There was a vague feeling of unreality.
Although his body was created by the Pirate King Zhou Ning during the simulation, Zhou Ning was not naive enough to think that he would call him dad.
In fact, after possessing divinity, divinity will gradually erode humanity, and a true angel will often be very indifferent to emotions.
His strength is definitely not as simple as it appears on paper. What he might encounter is an existence that possesses a large number of top-level alchemical creations.
As thoughts raced through his mind, Zhou Ning decided to take things one step at a time. Since he had already agreed, it was not his habit to be hesitant and timid. At the same time, it also made him feel an even more urgent need to increase his strength.
Zhou Ning took Ignatius Woods back along the original route. When they arrived at the door, a burst of golden ripples of fire gradually ignited in the path he passed. They quickly went out, burning all remaining traces.
Then they waited at the entrance of Bantuan Harbor for about 20 minutes, and finally a returning carriage arrived.
Out of caution, Zhou Ning first had the carriage detour to District 16, the easternmost district of Nathaniel, and then returned to the Tianya Inn in District 9 before dawn.
He brought Ignatius Woods and knocked on Richie Burke's door. Two minutes later, a shirtless Richie Burke opened the door with a sullen look on his face. His expression changed instantly when he saw Zhou Ning, from cloudy to sunny, like a Sichuan opera: "Boss, what do you want from me?"
Zhou Ning pointed to Ignatius Woods beside him and said, "From today on, he will be your colleague. Once you find a house, remember to build an extra workshop. If you have any needs, you two can communicate between yourselves."
"What? Colleague?" Richie Burke's eyes suddenly became strange when he looked at Ignatius Woods. As an old customer, he naturally knew the other party's abilities. The official of the Kingdom of Brighton had tried to recruit him before, but he was rejected. Now he became his colleague inexplicably. Is reality so magical?
Seeing that they had already started communicating and looked like good brothers, Zhou Ning felt a little relieved. This was undoubtedly a good start.
Afterwards, Zhou Ning went out as usual to complete the training requirements of the God-level training method, gaining +2 strength and +2 agility improvements. Then he returned to his room for his routine reading.
These two things are unchangeable orders every day.
After acquiring the skill of "immersion", Zhou Ning's reading efficiency was greatly improved, and he completed his reading progress unknowingly.
After reading the two books and completing the clan training, Zhou Ning took a look at the progress of the reader's level improvement and was immediately shocked. After reading two books, the progress was only 5%!
This means that you have to read a full 40 books before you can raise your reader level to level 8!
Zhou Ning took a silent breath, told himself to stay calm, and then spread out the newspaper he bought today on the table.
I turned my attention directly to the house rental section in the newspaper and started looking for a suitable house.
His requirements were simple. Price was not an issue, he could rent or buy it. The closer to the city center, the better, so that it would be convenient for him to travel back and forth. It would be best if it had an attached home workshop so that he could practice life skills at home.
After searching around, Zhou Ning initially identified one of the houses:
In the Seventh District, there is a townhouse with a garden at 129 Golden Street. The landlord is a viscount of the Kingdom of West Farik named Sean Hall. The rent is not expensive for him. Including the use of furniture, it costs less than 700 victars a year, which is quite cheap.
Zhou Ning circled the house and silently wrote down the contact information. If everything was suitable, he would rent the house as his base in Nathaniel.
After finding a place he liked, Zhou Ning took out his pocket watch, turned it on and checked the time. It was exactly 4:20.
Before going to bed, he rubbed his face and sat at his desk to think about his experiences today.
I arrived at Nathaniel smoothly, obtained a powerful hidden secondary job, obtained a large sum of money and an extraordinary item that was being made. Except for the fact that I shouldn't have taken the last task, it was a good start.
He thought for a moment and opened the notebook where he had written the fourteen secret words.
The ruins of the royal capital, the road of suffering... he added a new code word at the end: Goodwin.
As I said before, the ruins of the royal capital represent my experience in Darkland, the path of suffering represents the process of my spiritual transformation, and Goodwin represents the inextricable bond between this name and myself.
After finishing writing, Zhou Ning quietly put down his pen, and the progress of the Fourteen Secret Languages task quietly changed from 2/14 to 3/14.
…………
At 9 o'clock the next morning, Zhou Ning changed into a white suit that was not very suitable for combat, wore a top hat of the same color, and walked out of the Tianya Hotel with a cane disguised as the King of Heaven in his hand.
At this time, Richie Burke had already gone out, and even Ignatius Woods had gone out to the bank to withdraw cash and buy a contract to sign the contract.
Zhou Ning stopped a carriage on the road and went to Jinlu Street to visit his potential landlord.
