Almighty Alchemist

The gunpowder smoke above Spark Prison was like a war siren, shaking the entire Lance Empire.

"Hugh Igles kills the warden, massacres Spark Prison, and releases the prisoners!"

"The six heavenly kings successfully escaped from prison, and tens of thousands of prisoners in Spark Prison escaped overnight."

"Spark Prison suffered a major energy explosion, 1,500 soldiers were affected by the energy explosion, 600 people died, and the rest were seriously injured."

"Nearly half of the hundreds of dark scale beast warriors were killed or injured. Emperor Strick VI was furious and announced the abolition of the city lord of Royo City. Gale Arielon swore an oath that he would hunt down Hugh Iglell all over the world."

"The six heavenly kings announced that they will follow Xiu Yiglaer from now on."

"Hugh Igleser claims that he will fight the empire forever..."

A series of shocking news quickly spread to every corner of the continent, and all kinds of information flew to Winnington like snowflakes.

With Xiu Yi's big prison robbery, Royo City has become the focus of the world's attention. Rumors are rampant day by day, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

No one can tell which of the above news is true and which is false.

However, where is Xiu Yiglier, who fled with as many as tens of thousands of prisoners?

no one knows.

What people know is that Hugh Igleser, a young genius alchemist who suddenly became famous in the Lance Empire, possesses an unbelievable technology for making teleportation circles. He has already killed two sixth-level mages, Ablit and Lieu Bogle, and now he has ransacked Spark Prison. In just half a year, this sixteen-year-old boy has committed three major crimes in a row.

And every penny is enough to make him a well-known number one terrorist criminal in this world.

What people don't know is why Hugh Igles is going against the empire. Why is this man so terrible and has such a deep hatred for the Empire?

Of course, they would never know that in the beautiful palace of Winnington, there was a girl who shed tears every day.

———————————————————

Avril Lavigne was sitting by the small lake in the back garden.

At her feet, a guard knelt down in fear.

"Your Highness, the latest news I just got from Royo City, that person..."

A frost-like voice came coldly: "I already know, you go down."

The guards retreated as if they were pardoned.

All the servants were dismissed by Avril, leaving only herself by the small lake, staring blankly at the lake, but Avril's heart was bleeding with pain.

Ever since leaving Purgatory Island, Avril Lavigne has never stopped missing Xiu Yi.

In the beginning, the voice and smile of the blond boy was always in her mind, and his figure existed all the time.

So every night, she had to listen to stories told by her mother to fall asleep, and every morning, she had to be patted on her face to wake up.

Gradually she began to replace her servants, all with young boys, and all of them had to be blond.

But these young servants could only tremble when facing themselves.

There were also some brave teenagers who tried to imitate Avril Lavigne after hearing something about Purgatory Island, and tried to show a strong and unyielding image. Unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be learned - these people were kicked out of the palace, and it was a fluke that they survived.

No one can replace Xiu Yilaer, and the dignity of the royal family does not allow a second Xiu Yilaer to appear beside the little princess.

Lonely Avril began to learn how to cherish, she cared about small animals, she no longer liked grandiose trips, and preferred to sit there quietly, reminiscing about the countless stories that Xiu Yi told her, tasting every bit of them.

She remembered that Xiu Yi said that the so-called love is a feeling that will make a man and a woman become friends first in the process of meeting and getting to know each other. Then they like to get along with each other and are reluctant to be separated... If they are separated, they will miss each other and think that they can't sleep.

Later, she saw a book. It says:

The longing of love means that you will think about him day and night, you will be crazy about him, you will wait for him infatuatedly, and you will laugh and cry for him.

So, Avril understands that she has fallen in love with Xiu Yi, misses him, is obsessed with him, and waits for him.

At that time, what she longed for was to meet him again, to tell him that she loved him, and to take him away from Purgatory Island at all costs...

However, the facts completely shattered her expectations.

Hugh Igles walked out of Purgatory Island by himself, in a way that was least expected, with bloody hands.

When the news reached Winnington, the name Hugh Iglesle became a household name in the empire overnight and became the most wanted criminal in the empire.

Stryker VI was furious and issued a strict order to arrest Huey.

Avril Lavigne tried to stop, but for the first time in her life, she encountered her father's scolding.

The name Xiu Yiglaer has become a taboo in the palace, and no one can mention it at will...

However, everything about this name has never stopped spreading.

Half a year is not too long, and the boy who was looking forward to returning broke Avril's expectations time and time again.

What made her especially sad was that she had never received any letter from Xiu Yi to him, maybe she couldn't, maybe she didn't have it at all, and all the news about him she heard was not good for the empire and would cause great harm.

Countless expectations, countless longings, hoping that he can hear his voice, hoping that he can cherish his own feelings, but the other party has not noticed it at all. He is moving forward as always, with his own fixed goals and steps. It seems that he has never thought that Avril is also included in the targets he is targeting.

Today, she once again heard a news that shocked the world—Spak Prison was ransacked by Xiuyi, and all the prisoners were released. From top to bottom of Spak Prison, except for half of the dark scale beast knights, all died!

It broke her heart.

Her heart was hurting, as if someone had stuck a knife in her heart and stabbed it fiercely, making her feel dizzy and completely lost the ability to think.

"Mommy, why on earth did he do this?" Avril Lavigne said in a daze.

Behind Avril Lavigne, a cloud of smoke appeared dimly, and an old woman wearing a black veil appeared in the open space.

"Do you want to ask him why he robbed the prison? Or why he opposed the empire?" The old woman's voice was hoarse, as if she were grinding a clay pot with iron filings.

"I want to know, but no one has ever told me." Avril Lavigne showed a sad look on her face: "Father said that it was because he was selfish and wanted to monopolize all the wealth on Purgatory Island, but I know that is not true."

"Avril, you'd better learn to trust your father instead of questioning him."

Avril stood up abruptly, with a gloomy face: "I'm already sixteen years old, nanny, and I've learned to think. Huey told me that there has never been love for no reason in this world, nor hatred for no reason. I want to know, why does he hate my country and my father so much? Why does he have to fight against the empire again and again? Why does he escape from Purgatory Island and kill everyone?"

"Avril, you shouldn't mention this name again, let alone use what he taught you to think about problems!"

"That's not up to you!" Avril yelled, "I've grown up and learned to think. I won't be easily deceived by lies anymore. If you want me to hate him, then yes, you did, and I hate him. But I can't keep hating, because the more I hate him, the more I miss him! I want to ask him why he did that! I just want to know this!"

She yelled hysterically.

Then he squatted down with his face in his hands and wept.

Yes, she finally knew what love was like.

That's not all good.

Sometimes love is a kind of cruel torture, which makes you lovesick, makes you nostalgic, makes you happy, and also makes you painful.

Although her family, including his father, her bodyguards, and the servants around her, are all telling Huey something bad, trying to convince Avril that Huey is a villain, a traitor who has betrayed the expectations of the country, but in fact they are dead wrong.

The magic of love is that it never treats people right or wrong, but only in the exchange of emotions. What Xiuyi can give to Avril Lavigne is something that no one in this world can give. His vision is broad, his mind is delicate, his character is decisive and strong, but at the same time sweet and tender. He sees Avril as a girl rather than a princess, so what he can do, others can't learn it.

Because of this, the more they told Avril Lavigne what was wrong with Xiu Yi, the more Avril Lavigne missed the beauty of the past.

She couldn't believe that the boy who was so gentle to her would suddenly turn into a heinous demon. On the contrary, what she saw in this endless attack was the huge fear hidden in everyone's heart and the cover-up of lies.

Everyone was lying to her and hiding something from her.

Because of this, she missed Xiu Yi more and more.

She knew that she was under the spell of love, and it was impossible for her to forget that boy and every word he said to her.

"Hamlet." Avril suddenly murmured.

"What did you say?" Mammy didn't understand at once.

"Hamlet, Huey told me a story. My God, that story was told to me when I was away. He told it very affectionately and seriously." The little princess took a few steps suddenly.

"Prince's Revenge, yes, that's another name of this story, I remembered! Ophelia, when I fell asleep that day, I seemed to hear him call me Ophelia." Avril suddenly covered her mouth, her face showing infinite horror: "Mommy, he has hatred with my father! He sees himself as a vengeful prince, and he wants to kill my father! He wants revenge! That's why my father is afraid of him, is that so? That's why they lied to me and told me all those false lies, yes Is that so?"

Mammy's face became ugly: "Avril, you think too much. You have been deeply influenced by him, this is not good."

"But I know that's the case, but no one has ever told me what kind of hatred made him hate my father so much!" Avril clenched her small fists tightly.

Mammy wanted to go up to stop her, but Avril yelled: "Don't come near me! Stay away from me, I don't believe you!"

Nanny's body stood still like a sculpture, and after a long time, she sighed and turned into a puff of smoke and left.

Avril sat down by the pond, muttering to herself: "There must be a reason, I know, there must be a reason. Since they didn't tell me, I'll check it myself. Someone can help me, there must be someone..."

"What should I do?" Avril shook her head desperately and bit her finger: "Yes, there must be someone who belongs to me and is only loyal to me. Huey said that if you want to do something, you need not only careful planning, but also precise execution. I need a plan and a trustworthy executor. Who should I trust?"

As she was thinking hard, the sky gradually darkened.

After sitting for a long time, her expression finally regained her proud and calm posture.

This made the servants and guards in the corner secretly relieved.

Once upon a time, a little princess who only knew arrogance was scary.

But now, only the princess when she was arrogant is real.

Hate can change people, and so can love.

When hatred made Xiu Yi embark on the road of self-improvement, he would never have imagined that the girl who had been suppressed by him in the depths of his heart would thrive in the process of love, encouragement and finding the truth.

Hurrying back to her room, the little princess called a maid: "Bemy, I heard that Isadora is married now and has become a countess?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

"I didn't expect her to get such a good home, but she was my favorite maid after all. Well, you go and send someone to call Isadora and let her come to the palace to stay with me for a few days. I want to talk to her."

"Alright, Your Royal Highness."

"Also, where is Cross now?"

"He's not on duty this month."

"Not being on duty doesn't mean you can't enter the palace. After a while, I'm going to the Academy of Magic and Martial Arts to learn magic. You call Klos over here. I happen to have some questions about magic to ask him."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

"And Padgett, call him into the palace too. I want to see him before Cross comes."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

"Don't just say yes, Your Royal Highness, learn to do things well, do you understand what I mean? I don't like someone to let my father know everything I do. If possible, I would like to keep some things that belong to me."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

"Get out! You idiot who can only say yes!" Avril suddenly roared loudly.

Seeing the maid running away in fright, she stood there in a daze, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears: "Xiu Yiglaer, I hate you so much..."

———————————————

That night, in Winnington Palace, in the bedroom of the little princess.

The little princess sat in front of her dressing table, looking affectionately at herself in the mirror, and all that appeared in front of her eyes were the shadows of Xiu Yi.

Standing behind her was her chief bodyguard, the Earth Warrior Padgett.

Padgett was a little restless: "Your Highness, you shouldn't meet me in the dormitory. This is a room that only women can enter."

"Yes, that's why I want to see you here." Avril Lavigne slowly turned around, looked at Padgett and said.

Her eyes were covered with cold frost.

This surprised Padgett: "What is it, you want to see me here?"

"Actually you know that, don't you?" Avril Lavigne said.

Padgett was startled again, he hurriedly lowered his head: "If... it is related to that person, Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't help you."

"I don't need your help, Padgett. I just want to ask you something, and you just have to answer me."

"Please, Your Highness."

"I hear there's a guy named Raschel who's your friend?"

"Yes." Padgett sighed, sure enough.

"I also heard he caught Pierre once."

"……yes!"

"He is an excellent talent, but he is not reused?"

"yes."

"It's such a shame, he deserves a promotion."

"He has now been...promoted." Padgett chose his words carefully.

"Yeah." Avril said coldly: "But I heard that Hugh Iglesia has been having a lot of trouble recently, which made my father very unhappy. He thought it was all because of Raschel's incompetence."

"This..." Padgett sighed.

He also heard about this matter.

In the matter of hunting down Xiu Yiglaer, the plenipotentiary commander has great power. In order to achieve the goal of arresting Xiu Yiglaer as quickly as possible, the order issued by the emperor is that all places must obey the command unconditionally.

Therefore, when the hunt for Hugh Iglell encountered major troubles, it was only natural that many people fell into trouble.

"Can you tell me why you and Raschel became friends?" the little princess asked.

"Raschel and I are both from Meteor City, Devonshire, and we grew up in the same alley. At that time, his family was very poor, while I came from a famous family, but you know, for children, the concept of family status is not an obstacle to friendship. At that time, Raschel studied very hard. He always wanted to be an outstanding warrior, so he practiced very hard, and he became a junior warrior in a short time. .When we were twelve years old, Raschel had already become a second-level warrior, which was his goal to reach the fifth-level before the age of sixteen and become an outstanding warrior. Unfortunately, something happened that year..."

Speaking of this, Padgett felt a little bitter in his mouth.

"What's up?"

"Inigo Damon is here." Padgett described a frightening fact in his light tone.

Inigo Daemon, the only seventh-level evil mage in the Lance Empire, a soul mage, the terrifying demon who slaughtered half of the village with a psychic storm. Wherever he appears, death and slaughter are always accompanied.

"That year, Inigo Damon suddenly appeared in the law school and used a powerful soul spell. Many people died. I almost died at the time, but Raschel saved me with his strong willpower. But while resisting the soul spell, Raschel himself suffered a strong attack from the soul magic. Inigo Damon used the spirit destruction spell on him, which made him have a strange disease - epilepsy. There will be intermittent headaches every year, and the most frightening thing is that he will never be able to practice fighting spirit. His ability can only be fixed at the second level..."

"So it's like this..." the little princess murmured.

Padgett said bitterly: "Raschel is a genius, and he didn't give up because of it. From then on, he stopped practicing the way of the warrior, and devoted all his energy to the study of criminology. He only wanted to catch Inigo Damon. Unfortunately, in this world, wisdom can only be used as an auxiliary, and strength is the foundation. Although he is smart, he has nothing to do with that terrifying soul mage, but he himself has become the best detective in the country."

"No one can cure narcolepsy?"

"Yes, only a soul mage can do it, but even a soul mage needs the help of an alchemist."

Speaking of this, Padgett was startled suddenly. He stared at Avril in a daze, and couldn't help blurting out: "Your Highness, Little Princess!"

Avril Lavigne said coldly: "He never told you why he wanted to catch Hugh Iglell, right? Is it just for the detective's duty? Or is there some other purpose?"

Padgett trembled with fright: "You...you already knew all this, right?"

"After all, I am a princess. If I want to know, someone will always tell me." Avril put the comb lightly in front of the dressing table: "Guess what my father would think if he knew about it? Huey once taught me a word: the same thing, explained by different people and in different ways, often leads to different consequences. Guess if I tell my father about it, will my father think that Raschel is trying to cheat public interests? Otherwise, why can't I catch Huey for so long? "

"Raschel definitely has no such thoughts, he is loyal to the empire!" Padgett exclaimed.

"That's not important, right? What's important is that there is indeed evidence that Huey is the only person who can cure epilepsy. Raschel may be trying his best to arrest him, or he may have made a deal with him in private. The important thing is how people who know this matter think of him. If I tell my father about this, I believe he will be more willing to speculate on the worse side. As for what Raschel himself thinks, that is not important anymore."

"Your Highness!" Padgett begged helplessly.

A smug expression flashed on Avril's expression: "Of course, considering your special friendship with Raschel, my relationship with Xiu Yi, and the relationship you once had with Xiu Yi, maybe my father would think that putting you by my side is also a dangerous thing."

Padgett finally knelt down: "Your Highness, Padgett swears allegiance to you to the death. If you have any orders... please feel free to say so."

Looking at the Earth Warrior kneeling in front of her, Avril's mind resounded Xiu Yi's words: To control a person, one must control his thoughts, not just rely on power. You must know what he wants and what he is afraid of, and what he wants and what he fears must be yours.

Most importantly, if you want a man to be loyal to you, you must first make him fear you.

Yes, let Padgett stand in awe of himself, only in this way will he obey himself absolutely.

Looking coldly at Padgett who was kneeling on the ground, Avril said: "I need you to help me kill someone."

"Who does Your Highness want me to kill?"

"Bemy." Avril Lavigne said lightly.

Padgett was startled and looked at Avril Lavigne.

Avril has turned around: "I don't like my maid who always tells my father about me. She is my maid and not my father's. I have grown up and should have my own power. Padgett, do you know what to do?"

"Yes... Your Highness!"

"Do this well, I will speak to my father, help Raschel keep his rightful position, and ensure that you can continue to stay in your position."

"Thank you Your Highness."

Padgett bowed deeply and exited the princess' bedroom.

At that moment, there was a sudden chill in his heart.

Today's little princess is no longer the naive, childish and ignorant little princess back then.

—————————

Not long after Padgett left, Isadora arrived.

This little girl who was once used by Xiu Yi to seduce Pierre on Purgatory Island is now a rich and charming lady.

She was richly dressed and sprightly, and seemed to be enjoying herself very well.

When I came to the princess' bedroom, Isadora knelt down: "Isadora has met Her Royal Highness."

Seeing Isadora in the mirror, Avril snorted coldly, then she suddenly picked up a pair of scissors from the dressing table, turned around like a whirlwind, pointed the blade at Isadora, and said sharply: "Tell me everything that happened on Purgatory Island, what kind of deal did you have with Hugh Iglesel! On the day Pierre died, who did he go after? You or me! During the days when you were with Huey, what happened to you? What did you do for him?!"

Isadora, who was taken aback by the sudden attack, yelled, "Your Highness, I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Ah!" The next moment, a miserable cry sounded, and Avril's scissors had pierced a deep blood hole on Isadora's shoulder.

"You won't have a second chance!" Avril's voice was cold and deep.

"Okay, I'll say it all!" Isadora yelled frantically.

Half an hour later, the countess hurried out of the princess' bedroom.

She was terrified, in all the years she had followed Avril Lavigne, she had never seen a little princess like that.

No matter how proud, tyrannical, brutal, and ignorant she was, she had never been so bloody, violent, cruel, and terrifying as she is today.

So she didn't see that the moment she withdrew, the scissors in Avril's hand fell to the ground.

She stared blankly at the blood on it, recalling every word Isadora said just now, and finally couldn't help crying, covering her face: "Oh my god, what have I done! What have I done!"

She cried hysterically and was heartbroken.

She knew she couldn't help it.

Isadora is not Padgett. After all, Padgett is loyal to herself. All she needs is a narrower scope of Padgett's loyalty, so she needs both kindness and force. It is enough to give him some small threats, some small favors, and some small promises.

But for Isadora, such a cunning servant-born nobleman, using strength to subdue her and using death to scare her is actually the simplest and most effective method.

But... that's not what I like after all.

Avril Lavigne looked at the bloody scissors on the ground and murmured: "Oh my God, conspiracies are everywhere. Who else can I trust... Who else can I trust?"
