Chapter 386 The fragile Alice!?

The Turner family’s reception for William was undeniably of the highest caliber.

Calvin personally came out to welcome him, and all the household staff were lined up neatly.

The news spread through the Turner estate like a bird with wings, with almost everyone aware that their future master was visiting.

Alice, known for her kindness and polite demeanor towards the household staff, was regarded as a daughter by the older ones. Now, with her boyfriend visiting, they were all eager to get a good look at him.

As William and Alice entered the estate led by Calvin, everyone sneaked glances at William and whispered among themselves.

“Oh my, Miss has such good taste!”

“I swear, this young man is the most handsome I’ve ever seen.”

“Absolutely! Such demeanor and looks remind me of my younger days.”

“Ah, stop it, you’re stretching the truth!”

…

The entire Turner estate was abuzz with a celebratory atmosphere.

With his keen hearing, William could clearly make out the private conversations of the people around him.

Well, this was a bit of a conundrum for him!

Should he really have to face Calvin with thick skin and call him “Dad”? Impossible!

How could he ever do such a thing?

“William, I know you had a special relationship with my father, but as a Soulmancer, you’re not as young as you look. I think it’s better if you call me Mr. Turner,” Calvin finally spoke after a silent walk, smiling, “What do you think?”

Unfazed, William smiled and nodded, “Mr. Turner, I think you’re absolutely right!”

At this, Calvin’s face lit up with joy!

The address of “Mr. Turner” brought him immense joy.

If William had kept struggling with what to call him, it would have been impossible for them to get along.

Alice lost her mother early, and Calvin was always busy with work. Now with Charles gone, Calvin sincerely hoped for a good man to take care of Alice.

“Alright, alright! Then I’ll thicken my skin and call you William,” Calvin led them into the house and said to Alice, “By the way, Alice, someone delivered a furnace today, said it was yours. I’ve put it in the western courtyard.”

“Okay! Thank you, Dad!” Alice was still somewhat bewildered.

She was, after all, a mid-level Soulmancer, and her hearing had significantly improved.

She naturally heard the same whispers that William did.

What was going on?

What message had her dear father conveyed to the servants?

As they entered the house, they saw Luna and Erebus feasting at the dining table.

Alice was a bit fearful seeing them, but Luna immediately put down her king crab, sweetly greeted, “Alice, you’re back!”

Erebus also nervously put down his food.

It was Alice who scared him.

The painting had revealed so much to him.

He feared upsetting Alice with any misstep.

“Hello! You guys keep eating, we have some things to do.” Alice was unsure how to act around these two little ones. William had told her to treat them as she always had, but it wasn’t that simple to do.

It was a real test of Alice’s mental fortitude.

She felt that if she could be as thick-skinned as William, she would surely manage.

William was led by Alice to the western courtyard.

This courtyard housed a detached villa, filled with Alice’s possessions. In addition to various gifts and some unused items, there were rows of books, almost like a private library.

“My dad really is a genius! To put such a big furnace here, he’s not afraid of setting all my books on fire!” Alice was embarrassed as she entered and saw the alchemy furnace placed next to a bookshelf.

“You can just move it yourself,” William said nonchalantly. Being a book lover, he was more interested in the books around him than in Alice’s predicament. He casually started browsing through a medical book he picked up.

“Move it myself? It looks so heavy,” Alice said, momentarily forgetting her own immense strength.

“Do you want me to help you move it?” William glanced at her.

Alice eagerly nodded, her eyes filled with hope.

William chuckled and continued reading his book. “I’m busy!”

A mid-level Soulmancer pretending to be a delicate woman?

That furnace weighs at most a little over a thousand pounds. Alice could easily drag it with one hand.

Alice rolled her eyes, realizing how silly she had been to think William would help her with the furnace.

Curse it!

She had been foolish again!

Since William showed no intention of helping, Alice had no choice but to lift the alchemy furnace herself and carry it outside.

Alice, standing at 5 feet 8 inches, struggled with the nearly 7-foot tall, over a thousand-pound furnace. Rolling up her sleeves, she wrapped her arms around it and walked out.

William sneakily glanced at Alice.

Her demeanor was far more imposing than Hercules of old.

Could anyone still believe that a girl like Alice was fragile and delicate?

Lifting the heavy furnace effortlessly, Alice managed to move the thousand-pound alchemy furnace to the courtyard without so much as a pant.

“Am I really this strong?” It was the first time Alice had lifted something so heavy.

She hadn’t realized her own strength until now.

It was only because William suggested she try that she even attempted it.

William, carrying his book, leisurely walked out and said, “You don’t have a clear concept of your own strength. Even a junior Soulmancer could easily lift this furnace, let alone a mid-level one like you. You don’t still think you’re frail and delicate, do you?”

Alice nodded excitedly, “So, can I start practicing alchemy now?”

Anyone who discovers they have grown stronger can’t help but feel excited. Knowing she had become so powerful, Alice was naturally overjoyed.

“Give it a try!” William said. “The book I gave you has detailed methods for summoning alchemical arrays.”

Alice had memorized the alchemy book written by William in the past two days. It contained one hundred and thirty-two spellcasting methods, eighteen of which were for summoning alchemy arrays.

Alchemy doesn’t use ordinary fire!

Standing in front of the alchemy furnace, Alice took a deep breath and began to mobilize the energy within her body. Her expression became focused as she formed hand gestures and released a spell.

A blue flame appeared at her fingertips.

“Huh?” William was surprised. A blue flame?

If it was according to the method William taught, the summoned flame should be orange!
