The other party was unwilling to have too much communication with her.
Doro thought that under normal circumstances, how should she communicate with this woman, probably directly telling her: "Since you know that soone as great as has taken the trouble to find you, it’s not sothing you can refuse."
Wouldn’t that seem domineering?
But Doro wouldn’t do that.
"There’s not a single Alchemist in this city now, can you tell why?"
"I told you, I don’t want to get involved with people as significant as you."
Doro pointed to the sky: "You may not know the reason they left, but I do, and since you understand Alchemy, then you should also know the Star Tear, sothing even children know."
Star Tear?
The woman was stunned for a mont, of course, she knew this na, in this world, no one wouldn’t be aware of this romantic na.
"That thing is now hovering above this city. It could crash down at any mont, and as for the culprit, since everyone from the Alchemist Association has evacuated, I think without saying it, you should know who is behind this."
Doro saw the confusion in the woman’s eyes.
"You don’t have to believe , but you should also know that I have no reason to co all this way just to deceive you. You don’t have any particular reason to sche against , so, tell , what do you know?"
Then she saw the woman laughing.
Laughing hysterically.
"Haha~ hahahaha~~~ hahahahaha~~~"
After laughing for a long ti, she finally looked at Doro: "So that’s it! This city is going to be destroyed?"
"I’m trying to find a way to stop it. So, I need so information."
The woman was silent for a while before she finally said: "I learned Alchemy from a guest..."
Speaking of the guest, her expression changed: "...okay, my lover. At this point, it’s aningless to hide it. I know people like talking about lovers must seem ridiculous to people like you, but I genuinely thought he loved — otherwise, why would he teach Alchemy? But n are always like this, they enjoy forcing good won to beco prostitutes and then persuade them to leave prostitution — both of these happened in my past."
She seed to have a complicated past, and Doro just listened in silence.
"When I beca his lover, I thought I would never return to this mining area. After he saw my talent in Alchemy, he taught a lot about it — I moved out to live with him and started taking Alchemy jobs... We envisioned our future together, imagining a happy life. But half a year ago, sothing happened, sothing that figured like you should know."
"The Demon King took away a left hand from this city, and almost all the noble masters died suddenly — the city was very chaotic at the ti... he disappeared." The woman breathed heavily, "I thought he was dead, after all, it was really chaotic then, and soone as simple and naive as him might encounter an accident. After searching for a while, I moved back here, initially wanting to take so Alchemy jobs to survive."
She seed to be recalling sothing: "But it was terrible, a large number of cheap Alchemy Items flooded into this city, repairing? Like I said, just running here is enough to make many give up, after all, the impression this place left has always been chaotic... Moreover, I’m not a skilled Alchemist, nor do I have a formal license. I could only go back to my old ways."
"That’s all I know, if it’s of value to you..."
Doro nodded: "That’s enough."
The woman looked at Doro: "Can you prevent this from happening?"
Doro looked unexpectedly at the woman.
"I kind of knew — sothing bad would probably happen in this city, but I used to think it wouldn’t get worse anyway..." she paused, "I probably don’t have the right to say this, but knowing he might still be alive gives hope to live on."
Seeing the surprise in Doro’s eyes, she seed a bit embarrassed: "I know won like probably have no right to seek so-called love in your eyes, but people need sothing to hold onto. He might resent for returning to that kind of life, and think I’ve let him down, and perhaps I’ll never see him again, but perhaps I’ll use this as a goal to strive through my life."
So that’s how it is, Doro seed to understand sothing.
"May I ask a superficial question, after the Demon King was overthrown, how has your life been?"
"From not being able to survive to being able to survive... I don’t know if it’s good or bad, sotis living isn’t necessarily a good thing. Without a spiritual anchor, maybe."
Doro took out three silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the woman.
The woman gave him a surprised look, then accepted them.
He didn’t give more.
The woman believed, this man truly wants to stop this so-called Star Tear, but who is he?
He must be a great figure.
...
In fact, just as Mohe said, Adeline’s plan for Butuo City was not a thing of one or two days, even though at that ti Adeline had not yet t Mohe, regarding the matter on Kenku Island, Mohe said she was almost killed by Adeline, but fortunately, through various tactics, she managed to escape... but that was most likely a lie.
After all, she had left sothing that could allow Adeline to find her; during that ti, the two most likely reached so agreents.
