Free Web NovelThe skills of the returnees were nothing to say.
And if they were really determined to do something, hard persuasion would basically be impossible. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Plus, the higher ups have long realized the specialness of these returnees.
They just stayed silent about this matter and didn't tell anyone about it.
Because the higher ups were secretly competing against each other.
Jonas Nolan originally didn't know and didn't really pay attention to this matter. But who made his own family members were gossipy?
They would share their findings to him from time to time when they paid a visit.
After cooperating with the government, Jonas Nolan was given a large area for himself where he grew a lot of herbs and was also strictly managed by many soldiers and other people.
Jonas Nolan himself felt comfortable.
So he didn't care too much about it.
Besides, his family's excessive concern is a bit too much to bear at times. So Jonas Nolan agreed to stay in this place.
That's when he finally met with Ruth.
The grueling progress of the higher ups in recruiting Ruth was truly hard and Jonas Nolan even felt that they were a bit pitiful. After all, Ruth refused their solicitation and would rather remain as a free individual.
Considering Ruth's combat power…
No one dared to force her.
Even for someone like Jonas Nolan, they didn't dare to take the hard force route because they were afraid of turning him against them. After all, Jonas Nolan's alchemy skills also meant that he was fully capable of making poison.
The question is just whether he wanted to or not.
After Riya spread out the space storage scrolls, Jonas Nolan naturally also bought a lot of them to store his potion and materials.
It was much more comfortable like this.
Jonas Nolan felt rather satisfied.
He didn't know how other people did, but in his case, he was using the available resources to the limit.
As for what kind of potion he had made…
Ssh, that's a secret.
Jonas Nolan would not tell other people what kind of potion that he had made aside from those that he made for the government. Anyway, he was allowed to keep a portion for himself. freēwēbnovel.com
He also noticed that the government secretly sent people to study the recipe.
And there were also many researchers around him, trying to get him reveal the recipe to make these potions.
Jonas Nolan didn't care too much.
The recipe was given, but whether they could make it or not was another question.
Because another most important matter for alchemist would be their control of fire and timing.
Without enough concentration, even the slightest bit of mistake could turn the previously good medicine into deadly poison.
Jonas Nolan had experienced too much in his experiment when he was still in Afirer Kingdom.
He didn't replicate those experiments here.
But he still tried to mix and match some herbs in order to create some new potions.
After all, this is his main interest.
So seeing someone cold like Ruth made him look at her a few more times curiously. He knew that the government only got Ruth's agreement to help them to a certain degree and then she would be paid some remuneration.
But for many things, Ruth would do things on her own.
So facing such a cold yet interesting person, Jonas Nolan didn't hesitate and tried to befriend the other party. There was no problem chatting about various topics, especially those related to magician and magic warriors.
Speaking of their paths, Jonas Nolan was following the path of magicians while Ruth was following the path of magic warriors.
It was naturally different.
But there were also some similarities, which allowed the two people to communicate about their daily practice and also the boring meditation. Jonas Nolan himself didn't really like meditating.
He preferred staying in the laboratory to test more combination.
But well….
One time, there was a fire because of a mistake he made and he was kicked out of his own laboratory.
"Pfft."
Jonas Nolan looked at Ruth speechlessly and said, "Don't laugh at me! I just made a small mistake and next time, I'll get it right."
Ruth looked at him kindly and said that she believed it.
The expression was gentle and calm but there was also trace of indifference that Jonas Nolan couldn't quite understand.
Perhaps, it was the difference in experience?
After all, Ruth came from an ordinary family and had already lost all of her family members before she transmigrated. While Jonas Nolan had a complete family and everyone were still alive and well.
He didn't understand.
And he had the feeling that he shouldn't ask either.
So he never did.
The two of them maintained a relatively polite friendship on the surface. After all, Jonas Nolan and Ruth didn't know each other before and since they were both returnees from Continent W, it was good for them to get along.
It was just that….
Friendship between returnees really shouldn't be affected by borders and the likes.
But that was just what Jonas Nolan was thinking.
That's why when Riya and Samuel came to visit, Jonas Nolan was happy to see them and wiling to chat with them.
The problem is that most returnees didn't seem to like talking.
Or it was simply because they were not close?
Jonas Nolan didn't know.
Just when he was thinking about this matter, the news about the passage's arrival spread out and Ruth made her decision to leave almost immediately.
The higher ups were naturally unwilling.
But from the very beginning, their relationship with Ruth was more or less just an employment.
It was quite similar to how Continent Z treated their own returnees.
The higher ups were secretly cursing Continent Z because they felt that Ruth was being influenced by them.
And while Ruth was eager to leave…
Jonas Nolan didn't want to.
He knew very well that if he tried to go to another world on his own, the greatest possibility was for him to die there.
