251. Alchemist always has a dream

Shawn Connor took several deep breaths before he seemed to struggle out of a state of being overwhelmed, gave a faint bitter smile, and said, "I was too impatient, and you saw right through me."

"During my business trip to Byron, I encountered two very affordable High Order Blood Cores, and though I intended to sell them, I couldn't resist. You might not understand, but alchemists always dream of creating one or two signature pieces."

"I exhausted all my resources, even borrowed a sum of money, to craft these two Vampiric Pistols."

"I thought I could sell them at a high price, but at several auctions in Byron, they all ended with no bids."

Charles showed slight surprise and asked, "Why is that?"

Shawn Connor remained silent for a long while before he said in a low voice, "I am from Fars, and what I learned was Classic Alchemy."

Charles had an epiphany and said, "Classical Alchemy is popular in Byron."
