Chapter 45 2nd Life: Frost Breath, Dark Alchemist!

Vulture Territory.

Dark clouds were gathering, casting dim light.

A castle stood abruptly on the plains.

Tall chimneys constantly expelling billowing black smoke.

From inside the castle came bursts of piercing howls.

As if a warlock was conducting some inhumane experiment.

When passing by this castle.

Even the most ruthless thieves and criminals would take a detour.

Because everyone at the Laine Border knew.

A Tier Five Dark Alchemist resided within!

Norton Frand!

Inside the castle's laboratory.

On a cluttered workbench.

Were all sorts of bottles and jars, filled with colorful, foul-smelling potions.

A bearded, unkempt old man was carefully pouring some foul-smelling, thick green liquid from a bubbling container.

Once the green liquid cooled slightly.

He picked up a black potion from the adjacent workbench and poured them both into a glass tube.

As soon as the two potions came into contact.

They erupted like ignited phosphorus, spewing black smoke and sparks.
