Almighty Alchemist

Early the next morning. Locust Town.

Brian Buckler stared dumbfounded at the head of the demon mouse Gaffney placed on his desk.

"Damn it. Hugh Yglell. I promise you with my head. We never knew there was such a thing in that place. We've been there twice. Never encountered it."

"It may be because you stayed there for too short a time. It may also be that it was not there at the time. I can only say that your luck is pretty good. Of course. My luck is not too bad." Huey used his smiling face to prove to Buckler that he didn't take this matter to heart.

This confuses Buckler a bit:

"How did you kill it."

"It doesn't matter. What matters is to follow the deal. You should have pointed me to a secret and safe place. But the fact is that you almost let me die. Buckler. You owe me a favor."

Buckler nodded.

Can get rid of the demon rat Gaffney. It made Buckler realize that the strength of the boy in front of him was stronger than he imagined. He did not intend to be against such an opponent. No fool would go around making enemies easily.

"Then what kind of compensation do you need?"

"Two things. First. Let Huo Ding continue to rape Lei Lei and the others. I will take them away in the future. I need them to become gentlemen as soon as possible."

"no problem."

Xiuyi handed a list to Buckler's side: "The second thing. Let your people go outside to help me search for these things. The sooner the better. Of course. I will pay for the materials."

Buckler glanced at the list. I was so scared that I almost jumped up from the chair: "The quantity of the goods is too large. Hugh Igleser. What do you want to do."

"The needs of the war." Xiu Yi replied very easily. With that he stood up. He made a gentlemanly bend to Buckler: "If nothing else happens, this batch of lists will also attract people from the Legal Affairs Bureau. So you'd better arrange for those people who won't feel sorry for the loss to do it."

"Hugh Igles. I want to warn you. Locust Town is the homeland of all of us. I don't want to turn this place into a battlefield. If you want to take revenge on the Lance Empire, that's your business. Don't drag us into it."

Hugh Igles said with a smile: "If you can assure me. Before the people from the Legal Affairs Bureau chase this clue, you can give me all the information about the people who pursued me. Then I can also assure you. The war will take place outside of Locust Town. You and your people will be safe and sound. There will be no trouble. You just need to order your subordinates as I said."

"How can we prevent the Legal Affairs Bureau from reaching out to my town?"

"I heard that the 20th of next month is the time of the Chinese New Year. It is the time when the annual Frame of Ancient Materials Trading Conference is held."

"That's right."

"Let your people out. Just say the people who bought the material will attend."

"The Legal Affairs Department will not believe this lie."

"No. They'll believe it."

"Why."

"Because I really have to go." Huey stared at Brian Buckler coldly. There was determination in his eyes. confidence. and strong beliefs.

Buckler nodded: "I understand. I hope that the hound that chased you believed you as you expected. Then...if the item is delivered, how should I inform you."

Huey took out a small black crystal ball from his pocket. Put it in front of Buckler: "Use this to contact me. A very good communication tool. If you can help me get things done. I can send you a few."

"Ten. I want ten."

"No problem." Xiu Yi nodded: "But you will provide the materials."

"Deal." Buckler glanced at the head of the monster mouse. He gritted his teeth and agreed.

According to the agreement. Buckler promised to deliver the materials on the list to Huey within ten days. After completing the transaction. Xiu Yi bought some ready-made materials in the town before returning to the secret valley.

For safety reasons. Before returning to the secret valley. He deliberately checked the surrounding area again. And insert dozens of surveillance eyes again.

In Electra's laboratory. All kinds of alchemy equipment are complete. For Electra herself. This may be just one insignificant of his countless laboratories. But for Huey. If nothing unexpected happens. This will become his most important alchemy base in the future. Because of attention. The approach taken is naturally more different. In addition to inserting a large number of surveillance eyes to observe the surroundings. Xiu Yi also arranged two large magic circles and several organs at the entrance of the secret valley.

Anyone who tried to sneak into the valley without his permission. Both are bound to trigger alarms and traps.

Where conditions permit. Xiu Yi doesn't mind turning this place into an iron barrel.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears. Huey built another log cabin in the open space outside. Masquerading as a laboratory. And then sort out a vegetable field. This makes it look like the retreat of some out-of-world expert. It takes a lot of effort just to reach this hermitage. Not to mention that no one would think of being below this hermitage. There is actually a passage leading directly to the secret valley.

After all this is done. Xiu Yi was finally relieved.

In fact, Xiu Yi knew it herself. This valley has not been discovered for hundreds of years. Impossible to come alone. was discovered by others. But Lian Lian Island has lived for many years. He was trained to be cautious in every step. The habit of planning before acting. Ask him to take no precautions in his most important logistics base. He always felt uneasy in his heart.

Get it all done. After sowing the seeds in the ring. Xiuyi finally returned her attention to the work at hand.

Newly discovered Electra's Notebook. It records the detailed production process of the King Kong puppets. In addition, several special items are also recorded. These things aroused Xiu Yi's strong interest.

He quickly threw himself into his selfless work.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"A bottle of solution." Sitting on the flying swivel chair. Xiu Yi is busy doing his experiment. Puppet Assistant No. 6 quickly brought him a bottle of dissolving solution.

Xiuyi took it casually. Pour the solution over an already crafted metal block. As it melts away it starts working on the other side.

"A piece of turquoise," he continued. Six brought him a turquoise again.

Huey took the turquoise and was about to crush it. The alchemy crucible next to it was almost finished.

Huey quickly threw the turquoise aside. Let's deal with the problem of medicine first.

Wait until it's dealt with here. Huey found with regret that the other end of the dissolved metal block had passed its cooling time. . Wasted.

Xiuyi looked at the deformed metal block after cooling. Finally, he threw it to the ground angrily and yelled. "I can't run multiple experiments at once, after all. Six. You're sure Electra can run five experiments at once."

"Yes. Great master. In order to make his work more efficient. My former master had to conduct at least five kinds of experiments at a time. That's why he specially invented the flying chair and the ring table. The purpose is to be able to touch the largest area within the shortest moving distance." The puppet assistant explained to Xiu Yi very puzzled.

In fact. Even without the explanation of number six. Huey also knew full well that this was true.

Otherwise, no alchemist would arrange his laboratory like this.

Sit in the chair where Electra once sat. Imagine this legendary great alchemist constantly changing his position while moving at high speed. The fast-moving hands flickered like shadows. One alchemy experiment after another was completed in his hands. Xiu Yi couldn't help but wanted to learn the working methods of this great alchemist. But it turns out. He simply can't calculate his every action step so accurately.

Run multiple experiments simultaneously. What is needed is time and seamless coordination. It's not just that the hands have to be fast enough. The key is to know when to let go of what and what to do. And his movements only need to be slowed down by a second or two. It is likely that all his efforts will be in vain. Unless there is a computer that accurately programs each of his action instructions. Otherwise he couldn't have done it.

a computer. Such a thought suddenly flashed in Xiu Yi's mind. Could it be that Electra is also a time traveler? And also with a computer chip that can be implanted in the brain.

That's why he invented King Kong puppets like Terminator 2.

He then smiled wryly at his own thought. No. This is absolutely impossible.

"Sigh. I really don't understand how Electra did it. I'm already running around just doing three experiments at the same time. But he can do more kinds of experiments at the same time."

Xiu Yi complained helplessly.

"My former master never seemed to think that this was a difficult job." Number Six replied rigidly and unsightly again.

Huey sighed: "Now I am finally sure why Electra complained in his notes that you are still not smart enough. And finally gave up on you. Because you are indeed not smart enough. Smart people will never say that the old master is capable in front of the new master."

"Yes. My new master."

"It's enough to call me master. You don't have to call me new master. As for your former master. You can call him by his name directly."

"Yes. New master."

"..."

Huey finally decided to give up multitasking for a while.

No more multitasking. On the contrary, Xiu Yi's work efficiency has improved a lot.

He decided to make the puppet bees first.

The puppet bee is a gadget for reconnaissance introduced in Electra's third notebook.

Although Xiuyi already has the two methods of Wind Orb and Eye of Surveillance to monitor the surroundings. But I have to admit. Both approaches have their drawbacks. Wind Warbler is effective most of the time. But because its magic level is too low. It is impossible to hide from the eyes of the magician.

The surveillance eye can only detect fixed areas. Unable to collect information from multiple angles. At the beginning, Xiu Yi used the limitation of the eye of surveillance. Only then could he kill Pierre under the nose of Hines.

For a fugitive. Counterattack is always the last option. Obtaining information as quickly as possible and having the ability to escape are the most important abilities.

So Huey first chose to make scout bees.

This kind of bee is not difficult to make. Due to the small size. Less material is consumed.

It only took half a day. Xiu Yi completed the production of a puppet bee.

Try to release this puppet bee. Xiu Yi saw a constantly moving picture on the screen of the crystal ball. obviously. This is much better than the spying eye. And because the appearance is similar to a bee. Even if people saw it, they wouldn't care at all.

It's just that it's difficult to observe a large area with just one or two scout bees. Huey did the math. Thirty of these scout bees will be made. It takes at least four or five days.

The problem is that there are other things to make. It takes at least twenty days to complete a King Kong puppet. in other words. Even if his plan is successfully executed. I can only have one Vajra Puppet at most. Plus the Vajra puppet left by Electra. With only two golems, he wanted to resist the imperial hounds who came to hunt him down. Xiu Yiglaer is not so naive.

The King Kong puppet is not a real terminator either. If it is chopped into pieces. It is real death. not automatically restored.

It does not possess the power of immortality. Just strong enough and deformable.

So how can you improve your work efficiency?

Think of this question. He had a headache.

that time. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: since Electra has been conducting his alchemy experiments alone all this time. So how did he build his puppet army in such a short period of time.

Consider the gigantic size of the troll god. Hines was able to make this big guy back then. But he said so. A complete troll god. From start to finish. It takes at least three months.

This is still based on the power of the entire Purgatory Island as the unit of consideration.

And how did Electra create a whole army of troll gods and other puppet legions with one person.

Xiu Yi is sensitively aware. There are secrets about Electra. Already too much. This legendary great alchemist is at an inhuman level both in terms of experiment speed and manufacturing speed.

Just when he sighed. Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded in the laboratory.

An enemy is coming.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the screen of the crystal ball. The image of Lilith is reflected.

Although the woman walked through the holly forest very carefully. When they came to the open land. And crouched cautiously in the shadows of the forest. But for Huey. The whereabouts of this woman are still more eye-catching than the monsters running rampant on the street.

Curiously, he directed the scout bee to approach the woman. Advance the screen to less than one meter away from the woman. Carefully observe the appearance of the woman.

The curves of the woman's face are somewhat rigid. Sweat dripped from the tip of his nose. "Firmness" flickered in his eyes. It was Xiu Yi who had never seen it among any women. This is a woman full of wild beauty. Just like a leopard monster in the jungle. The whole body exudes wild strength.

She always crouches habitually. The back is slightly curved. As a result, the center of gravity of the whole body is somewhat lower.

Huey remembered that Padgett had taught him that there are many warriors in this world who are not real warriors. But it also has great power. Their strength comes not only from their own physical tyranny. Also from their extraordinary fighting skills.

Xiuyi immediately determined: this woman is definitely not a simple shooter like she appeared. An archer shouldn't be lurking in this leopard-like walking mode. This stance is more suitable for a sudden approach. Do hand-to-hand combat with opponents.

This shows that she is definitely a good melee fighter.

People who don't know her well. After seeing the longbow on her back. Once you try to fight her in close quarters. I'm afraid I will suffer a big loss.

Think about it. Xiuyi commanded the scout bee to circle behind Lilith. The skinny suit wraps the woman's buttocks tightly. Reveal plump and exquisite curves. from the side

face to face. That's the perfect Model S.

A woman who can seduce men very much. Huey thought.

The spying on Lilith. Xiu Yi was actually quite annoyed.

No one likes their secrets to be discovered. Especially this secret is very likely to be related to his own life safety. Huey decided to teach the woman a lesson.

Lilith obviously didn't know what kind of crisis her actions brought to Xiuyi. But she will soon find out. Make Hugh Igles angry. What a terrible thing.

She is approaching an open field cautiously. It looks like it's pretty quiet there. Hugh Igles doesn't seem to be there.

She is confused. A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Are you looking for me?"

Lilith turned around in astonishment. A fierce punch was hitting her lower abdomen. The huge force caused her to bend down involuntarily.

The back of the head was slapped severely by Xiu Yi.

The woman rolled her eyes. fainted.

Resist Lilith. Xiu Yi returned to the laboratory along the space passage she had come from.

Huey found out. Scout bees have at least one other benefit: helping them orient themselves in space. This allows his Void Slash to break through the limitation that it can only be teleported to where the eyes can see.

When Lilith woke up from a coma. She found herself in a secret room. The hands are tightly bound with a special rope.

Surrounded by exotic tools and equipment. Hugh Iglell was busy sitting at a round table.

Saw Lilith waking up. Huey stopped what she was doing.

"I'm sorry to bring you to my laboratory in such an impolite way. But considering that you also broke into my territory in an impolite manner. I believe my behavior is completely legitimate self-defense." Huey said and stepped off the flying chair. Come to Lilith's side.

"This is our territory." Lilith growled angrily.

"It used to be. I bought them with forty bottles of top-level potions. Of course. For robbers, there may not be such behaviors as buying and selling. But for the facts that have happened. You should learn to recognize and respect."

Lilith was silent.

Huey said. Sitting in front of Lilith: "Tell me. Why did you sneak into my place? What made you think that I would bring trouble to Black Locust Town. Isn't everyone here a person that the empire doesn't tolerate. Why would you be so nervous if I had one more? How much do you know about me?"

Lilith glared at him fiercely.

"You'd better answer me." Xiuyi said coldly: "You know this question is not too much."

Maybe it's a reality check. Lilith said: "The official report of the empire says that Hugh Igleser is a murderer. You killed an important figure in the empire. You also killed the space mage Ablit. But according to the information I got, except for the fact that you killed Ablit, everything else is a lie. You are wanted by the empire for another reason. The order issued by the empire is to capture you alive at any cost. In other words, you are different from all of us."

"Then where did you get the information. What exactly do you know?"

Lilith sneered: "Do you know why the bandits in the Bilias Mountains of the Lance Empire have been helpless for so many years?"

Xiu Yi was taken aback. Unexpectedly, Lilith would ask him this question. He thought for a while before saying: "As far as I know, it's because the Bilias Mountains are big enough. Two big mountain ranges. A big forest. The bandits have too many hiding places. In addition, there are a large number of native people here. Some orcs and elves. Although they are not many in number, they are very powerful."

"Can it be stronger than the power of the empire?"

Xiu Yi froze for a moment: "Of course not. So what do you mean..."

"It's because of the Frank Empire."

Xiu Yi immediately understood. really. Lilith said:

"Over the years. No one knows why the military strength of the Lance Empire has grown so fast. It has caused a major blow to their neighboring country Frank. The Villas Mountains are very close to the border. Many times we can know the news of the front line at the first time. There are even some supply convoys. They will pass here. And we will always grab them unceremoniously. The Empire will act in time. On several occasions, the Reims Empire even sent Sky Warriors to attack them. But in the end they were also ambushed by high-ranking warriors from the Frank Empire."

"So you have a cooperative relationship with the Frank Empire."

"No. We don't cooperate. The Franks want to use us. That's out of their interests. Although the Franks want us to become a force that stands out against the Empire, we don't intend to work for other countries. So we refused. In this case, the Franks can help us to a limited extent. But this does not prevent us from establishing a channel of information with each other. Because they can learn about the military movements of the Lance Empire through us. Generally speaking, once the Lance Empire wants to take large-scale military actions against the Franks, they must first send People came to clean up the Bilias Mountains once. To ensure that they added a few more logistics transportation lines. After all, the logistics supply from the Versa group. This road is the closest. Therefore, the Franks need us to live. And get information about the military movements of the empire from it. The country’s military intelligence information has always been provided unilaterally. Multi-channel verification. We are one of the verification channels. For us, we don’t mind using their hands to protect ourselves.”

"So it is. But what does it matter to me?"

Lilith sneered: "It has a lot to do with it. Because not long ago, the Frank Empire sent someone to contact me. They wanted me to provide information about you. They offered a price of 100,000 Gold Witts to find you."

Huey was taken aback. The Frank Empire found itself.

really. Lilith said: "They said that Hugh Igles is a very important person to the Frank Empire. As long as we find you, they will pay us the money immediately. Of course, they also promised you at the same time. As long as you are willing to join the Frank Empire, you will immediately get a Marquis title. At the same time, their monarch will set aside a city as your territory. Hugh Igles. There has never been a criminal worth such a big price in this world. You still want to tell me. Are you any different from us?"

Huey was silent.

no doubt. The Frank Empire already knew about Lian Lian Island.

The destruction of Purgatory Island. own escape. This caused panic throughout the Lance Empire. Although the Lance Empire has repeatedly kept secrets. But to catch myself. Some secrets cannot be hidden after all. After all, it is impossible for the hounds to act blindly without knowing who they want to capture. And with the destruction of Purgatory Island. The secrecy value of this place is also diminishing. Coupled with the frantic search for Hugh Igles from all over the place. Inevitably, some news will leak out. People who know the existence of Purgatory Island. In this case only more and more are possible. Frank should have some high-ranking spies in the Reims Empire. So got this information. Even if the information is not detailed. At least he already knew that Xiu Yiglaer was of great value.

Things ended up going smoothly. The Lance Empire wants to arrest itself. And the Frank Empire also wanted to get itself. In the middle, there may be Georgia Empire and some other countries who also want to fish in troubled waters to join in the fun.

The entire continental pattern. Even because of his escape. And there was a subtle turmoil. This is just the beginning. Maybe there is no problem. But as time goes by. Everything is hard to say.

"The big war... I'm afraid it will break out early." Xiu Yi said suddenly.

Lilith didn't understand why Xiu Yi said that. But Huey was sure. If you can't catch yourself in a short time. The Reims Empire will definitely provoke an all-out war immediately.

They must be prepared for the possibility of Xiu Yi fleeing to other countries. Take advantage of the technological advantage they have now. It is wisest to immediately turn this advantage into a win. Otherwise, once Xiu Yiglaier went to another country. It will have catastrophic consequences for them.

This made Xiu Yi a little helpless.

Because this means that the Lance Empire will no longer place hope on the future demon army. Instead, immediately use the existing strength to strive for victory. It also means that even if Xiu Yi invents a poison against demons in the future. It also cannot change the fact that the Lance Empire is likely to quickly unify the mainland.

Xiuyi looked at Lilith again: "So you judged that my value is very important. You want to capture me and give it to the Frank Empire. No. No. If that's the case, you should have informed Buckler of this matter. And if Buckler knew that my value was 100,000 Gold Witts, he would definitely re-raise the price. Or turn around and try to arrest me. But he didn't do that. This means that you didn't tell him about it... So your purpose is not to capture me. It's to kill me. Right."

Lilith was taken aback. Unexpectedly, Xiu Yi's reaction was so quick. She nodded: "From a small point of view, cooperating with you may lead to the attack of the imperial army. From a large point of view, whether it is the Lance Empire destroying Frank or Frank entering our territory, we are not willing to see it. I don't want your appearance to bring any unrest to Villas. For us, maintaining the status quo is the best choice. If I didn't know why you are valuable before, then at least I know now. An alchemist... I guess you must have some kind of invention that can change the situation of the battle."

I didn't expect this woman to be very knowledgeable. Think about it. Xiu Yi nodded and replied, "Actually... there are more than one kind."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

For Huey. The Frank Empire's solicitation was not attractive at all.

In fact, he wants to live a luxurious life of nobility. He can do it now.

He has absolute certainty. Just write a letter to Strick VI yourself. Then negotiate the terms with the other party. Strick VI will definitely treat himself with higher conditions than Frank. After all, only Strick VI knows. How much alchemy does Hugh Iglesel possess. How huge is the impact on the empire. As for the details. It may not be known to the Frank Empire.

He can even ask to marry Avril Lavigne.

But he had no interest in doing so.

After coming out of the maze of souls. He has already made it clear what he wants. And be willing to give up something for it. He doesn't care about the pursuit of the Lance Empire. There are even some expectations. Just as he will not take the initiative to retaliate against this country. Yet eager to vent his years of captivity by delivering some ferocious blows to his pursuers.

However, the intervention of the Frank Empire. It made Xiu Yi faintly feel it. Obviously, I still underestimated my own value.

Maybe take advantage of this. he thinks.

The boy's mind is completely attracted by the picture he conceived for the future. One plan after another came to mind. Sieve. choose. Replenish. Sort. Etc., etc. He was a little absorbed in thinking about the problem. So much so that some of them ignored the sneaky movements of the captive in front of them.

"What are you going to do with me?" Lilith asked suddenly.

"I haven't figured it out yet." Xiu Yi said casually.

"I've thought about it for you."

"What?" Xiu Yi was taken aback.

"You die. I live." The woman's voice was extremely cold.

Xiu Yi's scalp tightened suddenly. Instinctively jumped behind. at the same time. A dagger stabbed fiercely at Xiu Yi's lower abdomen like a poisonous snake.
