Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 580 - 544: Arriving at Langton

When the Flying Airship carrying Sanderion and Perfikot landed at a military port on the home soil of the Empire, Weir's first disciple, Heine, was accompanying a mysterious figure also wearing a hood, returning to their Alchemy Workshop in Langton.

"Fortunately, it seems the golems have been cleaning properly, so there's not dust everywhere from our long absence." Heine checked the state of the workshop and nodded in great satisfaction.

However, the mysterious figure who returned with her didn't mind these things, only glanced around before asking Heine, "Where is Sanderion's laboratory?"

"The teacher's laboratory is downstairs, but it's been sealed for a long time. Are you going to start work now?" Heine felt a bit intimidated by the mysterious figure, but her words were full of respect.

The mysterious figure only slightly nodded to this question, without saying much more.

Seeing this, Heine dared not delay, so she led the mysterious figure to the basement of the Alchemy Workshop, to a laboratory that had been sealed for a long time.

As Heine unlocked the seal on the door, the mysterious figure pushed the door open, greeted by a gust of accumulated old dust.

Heine quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hand, murmuring to the mysterious figure, "This place hasn't been cleaned for too long, let me send the golems to clean up before you go in! There's just too much dust in here!"

However, the mysterious figure didn't care, just waved away the dust before him, then tapped the ground with the staff in his hand.

A gentle strong wind rose instantly in the long-sealed basement, sweeping up all the dust without damaging any of the laboratory's items – not even a single piece of paper was disturbed.

But all the dust was swept into the air, and then it piled up into a considerable heap on the floor.

The mysterious figure tapped the staff again, and the dust was immediately transformed into the same material as the floor, blending into it and disappearing without a trace.

Witnessing this, Heine couldn't help but envy the mysterious figure's exquisite control and powerful alchemy skills.

Being able to accurately blow up all the dust with airflow without damaging other objects demonstrates precision and control, and blending the dust into the floor requires a formidable alchemy skill that few can achieve.

Even though Heine could now reach the threshold of an Alchemy Master, achieving such a feat would still be difficult, let alone doing so effortlessly.

"I will stay here afterward; just bring three meals a day to the door." The mysterious figure looked around the laboratory's condition, nodded in satisfaction, then reminded Heine, "Don't let anyone know I'm here, and when your teacher arrives, have her bring the items quickly, without getting noticed."

"I understand. Please rest assured, I will inform her of your request when my teacher arrives." Heine quickly responded, and after confirming that there were no other requests, she turned and left. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After Heine left, the mysterious figure sealed the laboratory again.

"Although it's comprised of old things from a bygone era, it's good enough." The mysterious figure performed a simple check of the equipment in the laboratory, ensured everything was still usable, and nodded in satisfaction.

This laboratory was set up by Sanderion a century ago when she first received the curse, to avoid being discovered that she had turned into a child, while also attempting to find a way to break the curse.

At that time, Sanderion hadn't lost her spirit and wasn't as laid-back as she was later, so she made a lot of effort to try to break the curse on herself.

But how could a curse from the Divine be handled by Sanderion, a Legendary alchemist at that time?

A hundred years of wasted time, Sanderion didn't gain nothing but also didn't achieve much; her many attempts did not break the curse but instead worsened her condition, to the point of being unable to maintain her identity as a Legendary alchemist, even regressing into a little girl.

Only after that did Sanderion start to give up, no longer attempting to break the curse herself.

And this laboratory was sealed along with her efforts, leaving inside a piece said to be her most proud creation.

Even though this work was unfinished, it still amazed and awed, leading Perfikot to believe the legendary level status of Sanderion was truly substantial.

Her most proud and esteemed creation was a goddess statue made entirely of glass crystal, which, if completed, would have been a perfect work of art and a weapon strong enough to slay a god.

This was the artificial goddess Sanderion created, but at that time, she did not have the chance to perfect this powerful weapon.

Of course, even if Sanderion had had the time to refine it back then, she probably wouldn't have been able to convert the goddess statue into a golem.

Because it lacked a crucial element, which was divinity.

Though Sanderion had found some information a hundred years ago, she couldn't obtain any divinity for experimentation, and as for slaying a god to acquire divinity, that was even more impossible.

At that time, their understanding of divinity was very shallow, and they didn't comprehend what significance divinity held for them.

But as for the current Sanderion, everything that once troubled her is no more; the divinity potion given by Cyan Bird allowed her to achieve a breakthrough, reaching a higher realm without a doubt, and her power developed rapidly.

This made Sanderion very grateful to Cyan Bird, and when she heard Cyan Bird needed a substitute for cover, she immediately offered help.

However, having checked everything, the mysterious figure did not start working right away but instead took out a test tube, which undoubtedly contained the divinity potion.

"It depends on whether Sanderion can deliver the items on time and keep my presence concealed." The mysterious figure stared at the divinity potion in her hand, her eyes somewhat lost, as if hesitating whether to drink it.

But finally, the mysterious figure gulped down the divinity potion in one go.

The moment she swallowed the divinity potion, she felt her entire being filled with powerful energy.

However, this was not enough; to break through the shackles of the legendary level and become a higher being, the mysterious figure lacked far too much.

Put bluntly, she hadn't accumulated enough, and thought of ascending the gate was out of reach.

But the divinity potion was not wasted; after guiding the mysterious figure through the bottleneck of her original level, that immense power had already settled into her body, ready to transform into the edge needed to break the legendary shackles once she had accumulated enough.
