Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 36: Light and Darkness (5)
Get out of the store. Come to the streets of Royo City. The empty streets were silent.
Maybe it's about poverty. Nights in Royo City are never bustling.
People often say. To know how rich a city is. Just look at its lights at night.
This sentence is also true in the age of magic. The vast majority of people have already turned off the lights and went to bed early. Shops are also closed. Except for a few places, there are still laughter and feasting. Most areas belong to the goddess of silence.
The night wind blows back over the city of Royo. Xiu Yi looked up to the sky and stared blankly for a while. Starry sky here. Incomparably bright. He looks down. Take a quick walk to the Belmond block.
If. Silent Island Hotel is the most prosperous place in Royale City. Represents light. good. rich. Gorgeous upper living. The Belmond neighborhood, then, is the dark side of the city. It represents poverty. dirty. confusion. brutal. It is a place where sinners gather.
Here is the most primitive nature. Desperate for survival. This is the most barbaric and backward society. Violent power is the supreme ruler.
Hugh believed it. Here can be the starting point for him to shake the peace of Royo City.
Walk on the ground covered with sewage. Dim lights flickered in the night. From time to time, a wild cat meows. Huey looked around.
What he saw were numb faces. It says a desire for a better life. But put all your hope in God. rather than your own hands.
A little boy robbed the girl next door of her bread. Running desperately. Hit a big man in ragged clothes. The big man gave him a slap. Then he snatched the bread.
Both the boy and the girl stared blankly at the piece of bread. Seeing smaller and smaller. Eventually disappears to nothing. I don't even have the courage to say a word. Fu sat quietly on the ground again. Waiting for alms from well-wishers.
Several street prostitutes were bargaining with men on the side of the road. In the end, it was sold to two women for 30 silver verts. They work in the alley next to it. The man took on two assholes at the same time. It's like putting a straw into two bottles of Coke. I'll drink this cup later. I'll drink that cup again later.
A few more men came over. One of them, who was standing against the wall, shouted: "Want to play? Add 10 Silver Wittes."
then. Another man joins in.
It all happened in that alley. Xiu Yi could almost clearly see that horrible scene. But his face was as sinking as water. There is no wave in the ancient well in my heart.
For everyone in this slum. It's all about living. No need to explain.
If Silent Isle was paradise. Then Belmond is hell.
A little boy ran to Huey's side. He stretched out his hands pitifully. It was the little boy who grabbed the bread just now.
Xiu Yi conveniently threw a King Witt to the little boy. The little boy greedily looks at more golden money in his hands. He bowed after taking the money. Neither speak. Just ran back directly. When Xiu Yi watched the performance in the alley again. The man has turned into four.
The first man is done. He pulled it out and said, "Just 20 Silver Wittes. These three guys did it with me. They're responsible for my part."
"You mean bastard," a woman muttered and cursed.
Huey turned his head the other way.
He saw a guy who was messing around. While taking the little boy's money. While listening to the little boy's story.
I saw the little boy pointing to his side. then. The ugly head shook violently a few times. Then stood up. Staggeringly, he walked towards Xiu Yi.
Huey didn't even have to sigh.
He just stood there quietly. Until the guy stood in front of him.
He said, "Hey, boy. Hand over the money."
"Greed is a sin."
"I agree. People who live in Belmond. Every single one of them is a fucking sinner," the man said. A knife appeared in his hand: "You better see what I'm holding. I'm not kidding. I want money. Everything. Your money. Do you understand." The guy's voice was urgent. Obviously impatient.
"Yes, I understand. But I'm worried my friend won't agree."
"What." The man didn't understand at once.
A childlike innocent smile appeared on Xiu Yi's face.
He raised his hand. Pointing to the back of the man.
The man looked behind him in astonishment. A black shadow passed by like the wind. Fell on top of him.
"Ah." A shrill scream tore through the silence of the night. Echoed over Belmond Street.
A large number of men rushed out from every corner. leave it to them. It's just a corpse that has been eaten beyond human shape.
"What happened." A leading burly man yelled.
"A boy. A blond boy. He killed Bill." cried the boy who had taken the King Witt from Huey earlier. "He gave me money. But Bill wanted more."
"Where is he."
"He's going that way." The boy pointed to the distance.
A lone figure can be vaguely seen walking.
"Follow me." The big man led the people to chase.
"He's got a big scary dick," the boy yelled.
hazy distance. The boy only saw countless people rushing towards the lonely shadow.
His eyes widened. The blurred vision is full of figures jumping. shaking.
One after another, dark red liquid shot out in front of his eyes. From time to time, the screams of people came from the ears.
The boy opened his mouth wide. He looked at the emptiness and darkness in surprise. After a short while of effort. All the shaking shadows stopped shaking.
The screen turned dark red blood. The boy could even see blood trickling his way.
A figure came out of the darkness.
Surprisingly, it was the blond boy who tipped him a Golden Witt.
There was no trace of blood on the black vest. The only thing that followed behind him was a creepy reptilian creature made entirely of bones. As if fished out of plasma. Dark red eyes fixed on the boy. Exudes a strong breath of death.
The boy trembled.
The blond boy came to stand beside the boy.
"May I have your name."
"Ha... Hal."
"Hal. You know. You're a born bad. Ungrateful. No pity."
"Yes..." The boy's teeth chattered.
"I won't kill you. It's because you are still young. But I think. You should be taught some lessons. Let you remember in the future. Be a human being. Learn to be grateful. This may help your growth."
"Ah." The boy's body drew an arc in the air. fell into a dump. Only two feet were exposed and fluttered outside.
turn back. Xiu Yi's back disappeared into the darkness step by step...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Silent Island Hotel.
Raschel spun around the dance floor at high speed with her arms around the girl named Sandy.
"You dance very well." The girl named Sandy showed admiration in her eyes. This made Raschel feel very satisfied.
"I'm getting old. It's been a long time since I've done this dance. It's for young people," Raschel laughed.
"I don't think you are old at all. In fact, your age is the most attractive age."
"Yeah. I'm really flattered."
"Maybe it's because I always think those boys are too young. They don't understand anything. They are self-righteous. My mother said I have a serious Electra complex. I always like to be with older people. It makes me feel safe." The little girl chattered. She looked at Raschel and blinked: "You look a lot like my father."
"He must have been a very kind and peaceful man."
"No. In fact, he is a drunkard." The little girl covered her mouth and smiled.
Raschel, who was tricked, could only shake his head helplessly: "Oh. Maybe we should take a break. We have already skipped three games."
"Okay." The little girl shrugged. Indifferently said: "But I will come to invite you later."
"Spare me this old bone." Raschel laughed.
Go back to your position. Chuckle and Charlie are back. Raschel wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Where's Bailey?"
Chakle replied: "The servant of the Dardanelle family sent a message. Said that he was playing cards with the young master."
"Playing cards." Raschel was a little surprised: "And Sissard Daniel."
"Yes." Chuckley said with certainty, "They are playing cards."
"Surprising." Raschel shook his head. I can't figure out why I've only done a few dances. The situation has changed so dramatically.
"Maybe he can help us get more information from Sissy Darnell. He was the most familiar with Hugh Iglesel when we were on Purgatory Island," Charlie said.
"If Sissyda Daniel is really Hugh Igleser, then no matter what he does, he will never play cards with Bailey." Raschel said with certainty. "Looks like I'm overthinking. Go get Bailey out. Let's go. There's no need to stay here anymore."
"I thought that girl made you reluctant to leave." Chakle said coldly.
Raschel glared at him. "Nothing is more important to me than work."
The communication crystal in his arms suddenly trembled.
Raschel quickly took it out.
The face of an official from the Legal Affairs Bureau appeared on it: "Master Raschel. The information I just received. Hugh Iglesle appeared."
"What..." three people called out at the same time.
"Hugh Yglell showed up. In Belmond Street. He killed at least fourteen people. They were all local thugs. It looked like someone provoked him. Hugh Iglesel was forced to do it. That's why he showed up."
"Are you sure it's him?"
"I couldn't be sure at first. Because there was only a blond boy in the description. But you know what kind of place Belmond Street is. The people there are not strong. They are notoriously fierce. They are not afraid of death. Hugh Igles made a mistake there. Everyone fought him desperately. He almost fought all the way out. It seems that he didn't want people to know who he was at the beginning. So at first he only used a very strange puppet."
"Golem."
"Yes. A puppet we've never heard of before. Because it's the night, we can't be sure what it is. But it's very powerful. It's very fast. Then the night law enforcement team arrived. There were several fourth-level warriors. Hugh Iglell was forced to use the flaming bird. So his identity was exposed. But we lost two law enforcement teams. More than 20 people died."
"Where is he now?"
"He is walking outside the city of the North District. It seems that he is planning to leave the city."
"Immediately notify the City Lord's Mansion. Please Lord Kevin Biersi and the others dispatch. Then mobilize the city defense officers and soldiers. Order to block the entire city."
"This requires a warrant from the city lord."
"Do as I said first. The Lord City Lord is here. I will ask him to reissue the order."
"yes."
The image on the communication crystal disappeared.
Raschel raised his head: "You all heard it."
"I said it a long time ago. We are wasting our time here." Chakle said coldly, "Raschel. What are you waiting for?"
Raschel thought for a while and said, "Chakle, go get the warrant. I'll say goodbye to that Mr. Sissy Daniel. By the way, call Bailey back."
Come quickly to the small meeting room. The servant standing guard at the gate was Fan Xin who had previously received Raschel's twelve Kingwitts.
"I have urgent matters to leave for a while. I need to say goodbye to your little master." Raschel said.
Fan Xin squinted at each other. Then he replied in a haughty tone: "The little master is playing cards. He never sees any guests when he is playing cards."
"I must see him."
"I'm sorry sir. I hope you understand. It doesn't matter how prominent you are. You are a guest here. My host is a man of his word. I won't let anyone in unless I have his permission."
"My people are in there too."
"I can call him out for you."
"Alright then." Raschel nodded helplessly.
Fan Xin turned and entered the living room. Close the door smoothly. It almost hit the head of Raschel who was looking inside.
After a while. Bailey came out leisurely: "What's the matter. Head."
"How did you end up with Dardanelle?"
"The young master of the Dardanelle family likes to play cards. It just so happens that he lacks a partner. Didn't you say that you need to observe him more. The poker table is a good opportunity. So I volunteered."
"what's the result."
"Win some money."
"Damn it. That's not what I asked."
"Only this." Bailey spread his hands: "He is not Hugh Igleser. At least so far. I don't have any more discoveries."
Raschel nodded: "I just got the news. Hugh Iglesle appeared in the city. Get ready to follow me. Let's catch that cunning mouse."
"I'm going to say hello to the young master of the Dardanelles. It's a pity." Bailey turned and entered the room muttering.
Raschel's heart suddenly moved.
He couldn't understand how things could be so coincidental. Just when I doubted this young master. Xiu Yiglaer suddenly appeared in Royo City. And it doesn't look like he's playing very well. It was the result of a botched accident.
Could it be a trap.
Raschel asked himself that he would never underestimate any opponent. Especially one that could make a case like that on Purgatory. An opponent who dared to challenge the empire. Hugh Igleser. He has two qualities of madness and wisdom at the same time. Undoubtedly the toughest opponent he has ever faced.
"Maybe there are ghosts..." Raschel muttered to himself. He really wanted to rush in to see if it was Sissada Daniel sitting inside. But he also knows. Once he rushed in without permission. The consequences must be very serious.
Bailey came out quickly: "Siser is sorry. He's going to find someone to play poker again." He muttered.
Raschel thought about it. Say to Bailey, "Maybe you don't have to go."
"Why." Bailey was a little surprised.
"Listen to me." Raschel leaned against Bailey's ear and whispered: "You have a new mission now. It is to keep an eye on the young master of the Dardanelles. Before I catch Hugh Iglesel, don't separate from him. Understand."
Bailey thought for a while and nodded: "I think I understand. You mean I can go back to playing cards."
"Yes."
"What if I lose money?"
Raschel gritted his teeth with hatred: "As long as you don't lose too much, I will take responsibility for you."
"Thank you." Bailey smiled smugly.
Raschel stuffed a communication crystal into Bailey's hand: "Hold it. I will contact you."
Not far away, Chaklei had already obtained a warrant from the city lord to block the city and came over: "Earl Derby Anfleet doesn't want us to make things too big. He hopes that before the end of the ball, we can either catch Hugh Iglesel or expel him. In short, try not to disturb the atmosphere here."
"It seems to him. There is nothing more important than material transactions. Right." Raschel asked dissatisfied.
"Yes." Chakle nodded: "It's your responsibility to catch Hugh Igleser. It's not his. He doesn't want the big deal he's managed to close because of some chaotic security incidents. Remember that everyone here is a big shot. You may provoke one of them. But you can't provoke the family behind them. You can't provoke a family. You can't provoke all the families. Not including me. So you better restrain yourself."
"That's great. Damn it. We tried our best to hunt down the important criminals of the empire. But they are singing and dancing and still don't allow us to disturb their interest." Raschel walked out the door angrily: "Maybe I should really force Hugh Igles to come to the big hotel. Use his hands to slaughter all the people here. Then catch him. Then those idiots and idiot families will thank me in turn. Instead of annoyed that I made things too big."
"That's why you are capable but always unable to get promoted. Your temper is too bad, Raschel." Chakle replied after him.
"You're right, Chakle." Raschel said, "Notify the city defense department. Lock down the whole city. But don't sound the alarm. Keep the operation secret. It's like touching their lover's bed. It's really ironic."
Watching them leave from a distance. Bailey looked back at Lilith behind him: "You don't need to be so nervous. We are already on the same boat."
Lilith glared at him. Then he took out the communication crystal and said: "Be careful, Xiu Yi. They are coming. The sky warriors have also been dispatched."
"I've been waiting for a long time." Xiu Yi's indifferent voice came from the other end.
Put down the communication crystal. Huey looked behind her.
On another street in Royo City. The fight has come to an end.
The Undead Demon Rat easily killed the third member of the night law enforcement team. The whole street has turned into a bloody mass.
Corpses were lying in all directions in all directions. Their deaths were horrific. Some even had only bits and pieces of meat left.
Even become an undead puppet. This monster mouse still did not change its brutal and bloodthirsty instincts during its lifetime. It likes to tear all flesh and blood with its sharp joints. Turn them into a meaningless mess of meat.
Streams of invisible soul energy. escape from the dead. Then enter the ring of devouring spirits. Xiu Yi could feel the greed and thirst of the Soul Devouring Ring for soul energy.
"Don't worry." Xiu Yi murmured, stroking the magic ring in her hand, "Tonight. You can have a full meal."
Huey glanced at the disgusting scene coldly. Start to go further. His steps are still steady. Not in a hurry.
Since walking out of the Ring of Devouring Souls. Xiu Yi knew that she had changed.
He became more determined. It also became more cruel.
tonight. Royo City is doomed to sleepless nights.
