After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1238

"Hoffen?!" Obi gasped.

This was Bleuelle's Top Alchemist! A rare Class A one!!

What was he doing here?

Was this a rescue? Or was it one of his eccentricities?

One of the rumors about Hoffen was that he kidnapped people to experiment on them. He had always been obsessed with trying out new things and wouldn't they—a group of high-levelled elementalists—be great subjects?

At this, their stomachs dropped. They lamented their fates. How many times did they have to be tortured? They knew for sure they had no chance if Hoffen decided to kidnap them.

He was even with his guard and adopted son—the famous Sir Gregor. The man was a level 62 wind user, one of the youngest to pass level 60 at only 80 years old.

Without further ado, the old man studied the surroundings and sighed. He handed a few bottles to Gregor, and then headed to Gaia and Uncle Liu's spot himself.

Because the smoke caused everyone to be immobile, he had no choice but to feed the injured himself.

The effect was instantaneous, which was especially amazing considering their high levels.

A single bottle of this would cost hundreds of gold.

"Why…"

"Hmn, the letter you sent intrigued me," he mumbled. "Imagine how annoyed I was when I found out you were sent to die outside."

"???"

He frowned, starting to be a little impatient by their lack of mobility (as if he didn't have anything to do with it.

"Anyway, take me there," he said. "To that... Alterra."

…

A Few Hours Ago

BOOM!!

In one of the taller villas in the city, a deafening explosion echoed, sending a thick plume of black smoke that billowed from the windows.

"Master Hoffen!!" Gregor yelled as he ran up to check on his master.

He was about to use his wind ability when he saw the older man's silhouette emerge from the smoke.

"Cough…Ah, orcpiss… cough…"

Gregor's tense shoulders softened, relieved, and he finally waved his hand to call on the surrounding wind. He forced the rest of the smoke out the nearest fenestration.
