Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 26 Cocktail Party (Part 2)

Xiu Yi's promise made all the family representatives and businessmen feel a lot easier.

Although there is still a lack of understanding of the details of the Dardanelle family, what does it matter? There are thousands of families in the empire, and no one knows when a powerful family will suddenly appear. Who is the other party, what is their background, and what do they do?

The following negotiations, therefore, appear friendly and harmonious.

"Oh, so the Dardanelles used to be engaged in maritime trade. What made you decide to join the business of alchemy materials?" It was Viscount Ladour who asked this question.

Xiu Yi replied politely: "To be precise, my family is not in the business of trading. In fact, since my grandfather, we have been doing a special kind of business... Well, how should I put it?" cause of being wrecked at sea,"

"Yes, because of this, the price of any goods from other continents is always multiplied," said Mr. Dodge. This time, they imported a batch of rather rare materials from the Eastern Continent. They planned to sell them to the empire for a good price, but in the end they saw the empire reduce its purchases, and it was a big deal.

Risk in hand too.

Xiu Yi said with a smile: "Yes, everyone knows that maritime trade is huge profits, and piracy is a business without capital, but in fact people don't know that there is another kind of business that is actually profitable, and it is also a business without capital,"

"Oh, that sounds interesting, is it related to the shipwreck?"

"That's right," Xiu replied with certainty. He first looked around and noticed that everyone, even some boring wives, began to notice what he said. The topic of getting rich is always easy to attract others' attention.

Then Xiu Yi said slowly: "Salvage the sunken ship,"

"Salvage the sunken ship," all the nobles exclaimed.

Someone shouted: "This is incredible, how could you salvage the sunken ship from the bottom of the sea?"

"To be exact, it's not salvage of sunken ships, but the treasures on sunken ships. You must know that they sank to the bottom of the sea, and they will never see the light of day again. And our job is to salvage those treasures that sank to the bottom of the sea for various reasons. You know, every ship is full of wealth. As long as you can fish out one, you can make a fortune," Huo Ding said.

"Oh, my God," the nobles murmured among themselves.

Someone said: "I've never heard of such a business. Isn't there a monster in the sea, and the ocean is so deep, how can I get down?"

Xiu Yi smiled and said: "That's the secret to making a fortune. The pressure in the sea and the supply of air can be solved by making magic shields from water mages. All we need are some people who are good at swimming. The biggest problem is actually not the sea pressure, but the monsters in the sea and how to determine the location of the shipwreck. Only professionals know how to search for treasures in the water without alarming those terrifying big guys. And my family has been engaged in this industry at sea for more than 100 years, we have salvaged more than 40 sunken ships, until last year, "

"Last year," several family representatives looked at each other, "what happened last year?"

"We ended this adventure last year because my father and one of my uncles died in the sea salvage operation..." Huey replied with a sad face, "Yes, I guess everyone has guessed what happened," Huey sighed: "Last summer, my family found a sunken ship full of gold and spices and a large amount of rare ore. , pushed us to the bottom of the sea, and on the bottom of the sea we met a giant octopus, that guy was as big as the entire Silent Island Hotel, although its name was a giant octopus, but in fact it had dozens of thick tentacles that looked like pipes, and each tentacles had a mouth the size of a human head... It almost killed everyone, and two of the tentacles entangled my father and my third uncle respectively.

"Oh, my God, this is terrible," several noble ladies covered their mouths and exclaimed.

"What a tragedy,"

Huey continued his provocative performance. It has to be said that the four-year acting career on Lianhe Island has greatly tempered his acting skills. At least in acting, Huo Ding believes that this young man has no less talent and talent than himself. "My second uncle was the only one who escaped from that disaster, and my mother died of grief. After that, we realized that no matter how experienced sailors are, as long as they walk on the edge of danger all year round, they will face such things one day. In fact, in the family salvage shipwreck In the history of the century, such things have happened more than once, but until last year, my second uncle resolutely decided to abandon the original family business and lead us to open up a new business. Since then, we have come to land. For the same reason, my second uncle has been depressed since then. He no longer has a smile on his face, and he is even unwilling to communicate with people. Even on such an important occasion today, he just showed his face and went back. Doing business, how to manage the family, fortunately, my uncle left me a very good butler, Clementine is a very capable person, everything is thanks to him, "

"It is a lifelong honor to serve the Dardanelles," Houding said humbly.

Xiu Yi's humble words and rich knowledge quickly won everyone's favor. In fact, at his current age, it is indeed a rare thing to be able to talk like this.

"So what made you decide to go into the materials business," one nobleman asked.

"Oh, this is due to our luck. Since my parents died, we thought that all the good luck of the Dardanelles had been exhausted, but the fact is that we soon encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We accidentally rescued a distressed alchemist. He was a man with extraordinary talents. He was very grateful for our help, so he taught me all the alchemy he knew."

"Oh, could it be that you are the alchemist of the Dardanelles?"

Xiuyi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's me,"

"It's amazing,"

The nobles were whispering to each other, and Xiu Yi knew what they were thinking. Ever since the Lanya Grand Theater, it was no secret that Xiu Yiglaer was an alchemist.

Now, any teenager who is about sixteen years old dare not claim to be an alchemist, because for the Legal Affairs Bureau, that is the clearest goal. However, for Xiu Yi, this is precisely the most important hurdle he needs to pass. In the days to come, he must rely on his alchemy to prove himself to the world, and at the same time gain enough people's support, so it is impossible for him to hide his professional identity.

If the identity will be revealed sooner or later, it is much better to reveal it now than to reveal it when it is under heavy siege.

Put all the dangers at the beginning and regard this as a huge challenge. Even if you fail at the beginning, you can at least avoid the regret of losing nothing.

And at this moment, when Xiu Yi revealed his identity as an alchemist, he really made everyone's hearts beat.

Everyone remembered the name Hugh Iglesne.

I remembered his crazy killing performance at the Lanya Grand Theater.

According to Xiu Yi's previous introduction, the Dardanelles undoubtedly have a huge financial resources, they have enough money to buy the goods here, but when the target person involves a terrible murderer, everyone will become cautious.

But Xiuyi is not worried about this problem.

It is actually not too difficult to convince people that Sissadaniel is not Xiu Igleer, but the important thing is that this matter must be done smoothly and naturally. If you explain it hastily, it will increase everyone’s suspicion. The most important thing is that he knows that those who want to do business with him will try their best to prove and believe that they are not Xiu Igleer. As Houding said, in the face of huge interests, many people are more willing to believe what they want to believe.

So they will definitely seek the answers themselves.

Sure enough, someone asked Xiu Yi.

"Since you said you are an alchemist, may I ask which aspect of your alchemy you are more confident in?"

Xiu Yi replied: "In fact, I am not good at many things. My mentor left without teaching me too much. I don't even know his name. For now, I am better at making some exquisite gadgets. They don't have much power, but they also have some irreplaceable value,"

"For example," someone asked.

Huey took out a scout bee: "Like this one,"

"What is that?" Many people gathered around curiously.

"A small thing for reconnaissance, it can fly freely, and the collected vision can be reflected through this crystal ball, and it can also receive orders from the owner to do some simple search work," Xiuyi took out another crystal ball and introduced it to everyone.

"That's really great, oh my god, I've never heard of anyone inventing such a thing before," several material dealers and family representatives whispered to each other. A family representative saw the queen scout bee, and then chatted with the people around him. Several nobles began to whisper, and then they all looked at the same person, the assistant secretary of Royo City, Mr. Bradstreet.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Master Dardanelle, I have something to leave for a while," the adjutant clerk apologized to Xiu Yi.

"You are welcome," Huey replied politely.

Watching the clerk's adjutant leave the venue in a hurry.

There was a satisfied smile on Xiu Yi's face, and he knew that he must go to find out whether Xiu Yiglier had such an invention.

The city owner of Royo City, who is the transit point for material transactions, is the most likely person to know the secrets of Purgatory Island. After all, most of the materials transported to Purgatory Island every year are purchased from him. This secretary and adjutant will definitely ask his master about the invention on Purgatory Island.

Now Xiuyi only hoped that the Lord of Royo City would know as much as possible.

But it doesn't matter even if she doesn't know, because Xiuyi still has other opportunities and methods to prove herself.

The assistant secretary seems to have some way to contact the Lord City Lord, but in fact he will be back soon.

A group of nobles were whispering to the adjutant clerk, obviously asking for their opinions. Judging from the smiles on their faces, the adjutant secretary gave them a satisfactory answer. The lord of Royo City sent a very positive answer. There has never been such a thing in the technology that the empire has gained and lost.

The nobles quickly showed warm smiles after getting the news.

You must know that if the scout bee is as useful as Xiuyi said, then it is undoubtedly a very promising alchemy. I believe many people will be interested in it, including the imperial royal family. This kind of thing will be a very effective reconnaissance weapon when used on the battlefield. It can greatly reduce the possibility of an enemy ambush by the imperial soldiers.

"This little thing you've come up with is very interesting, maybe we can talk about it, I mean, it shouldn't be very expensive to make, isn't it," Mr. Dodge asked Huey.

"Yes, but its technology is very valuable," Huey replied proudly, "I believe it can be sold at a good price,"

"Then..." Mr. Dodge thought for a while, and said to Xiu Yi: "I don't know if Master Dardanelle will have time to come to Shexia at noon tomorrow. Dodge Trading Company sincerely welcomes you. You know that we are one of the largest trading houses in the country and have absolute economic strength. If the Dardanelle family wants to make a difference in the business of alchemy products, Dodge Trading Company can provide you and your family with high-quality services."

Mr. Dodge handed Huey his card.

"It's a great honor to receive your invitation. I will definitely visit you in person at noon tomorrow," Xiuyi accepted the business card skillfully.

"And I……"

"And I……"

A group of nobles and businessmen handed over their business cards to Xiu Yi one after another. Whether it was the material acquisition that the Dardanelles were about to carry out or their unique alchemy technology, the businessmen realized that what they encountered was a rare opportunity, and no one wanted to let go of such an opportunity.

Huey and Huo Ding were busy accepting various invitations and business cards, and exchanged glances with each other.

That look meant everything was going well, a big success.

After accepting a series of invitations, as the punctual bell sounded, a group of people strode to the venue outside. The one walking in the front was a man in aristocratic dress, with a big square face and full beard.

There was no doubt that the man was Earl Brooks.

A person who appeared beside him was a middle-aged gentleman who looked very shrewd but had a rather humble attitude. Xiuyi estimated that this person might be the general manager of the Silent Island Hotel. On such an occasion, it was impossible for the Nanfang family not to send someone to attend and express it in person.

The one who appeared later surprised Xiuyi.

It turned out to be her, Countess Christine.

Xiuyi clearly saw that when the countess walked into the venue, her eyes stayed on her, revealing a look of horror.

Damn, she recognized me,
