Almighty Alchemist

Purgatory Island, the source of the rise of the empire, is also the birthplace of the empire's nightmare.

Perhaps no one would ever have thought that Xiu Yi would establish her first real base there.

And for Xiu Yi, there is indeed no more suitable development base than Purgatory Island.

It had been abandoned by the empire, and within a short period of time, it was impossible for them to think that Xiuyi would develop there.

The sea of ​​death itself is the best natural barrier, and there are abundant resources on Purgatory Island for everyone to survive.

There are ready-made castles and piers there, and they only need to be expanded to accommodate enough people; there are ready-made alchemy laboratories and various magic plant breeding areas. After bringing the troops there, Xiuyi will have a lot of manpower to provide him with various alchemy materials.

For the Lance Empire, attacking Purgatory Island means laboring and moving thousands of miles away. For Xiu Yi, all the problems can be solved by building an eternal magic teleportation array.

What's more, putting the troops there, Xiuyi can also feel more at ease, because on that island, there is also a truly powerful patron saint—the dragon Rita.

With her guarding Purgatory Island, I believe that many troubles will be disintegrated invisibly, not to mention the little guy Xu, he can go back to see his mother frequently in the future.

Of course, if there is any shortcoming, it is that too many people will inevitably destroy the living environment on Purgatory Island to a certain extent. This is what Xiu Yi absolutely does not expect. Therefore, according to Xiu Yi's consideration, only 3,000 people will be resettled on Purgatory Island, and the rest will need to be arranged separately.

In the small cave, everyone was still discussing how to plan and arrange for the next step, but there was no need for Xiuyi to participate.

As the supreme leader, it is true that you must grasp the center of gravity and real power, but in the decision-making process, you might as well listen to other people's opinions. In essence, the six heavenly kings are still very good subordinates, and the initial difficulties were more like temptations to a certain extent. After suppressing the lessons, we should also give them some opportunities to perform.

Therefore, at this moment, Xiu Yi leaned against the wall in the deepest part of the cave, quietly listening to everyone's discussions.

At this point, the meeting finally started to look decent.

"It is necessary to defend internally and expand externally. No matter what kind of power it is, this development trend is unavoidable." Buckler said: "The biggest problem for us at present is the issue of identity. No matter what kind of place we go to and what model we use to develop, we must have a reasonable and legal identity. But the prisoners don't have it. This problem must be solved, otherwise we can only be trapped in the mountains and islands."

"The way of survival also needs to be solved. We can't rely on farming to support ourselves. I believe that what Xiuyi wants is by no means a group of farmers. Most of the prisoners in Spark Prison are violent criminals. Everyone has a few strokes. If they don't do it well, it is a waste of resources." Creo also said.

"Everyone gathers together, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the power of gathering together is great, and the disadvantage is that there are many people and the target is large, and it is easy to be discovered. But it is not so easy to complete the disguise of thousands of people." Lilith also said.

Compared with finding a safe development base, how to expand oneself is obviously more difficult to walk freely on this land.

Everyone can see where the trouble is, but it is not easy to solve it.

"In my opinion, all these problems are actually one problem, that is, the problem of identity. As long as this problem is solved, other problems can also be solved." It was Huo Ding who had a flexible mind and sharply pointed out the key to the problem.

"The problem is that there are so many people, how to solve it?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Huo Ding's face: "This world is very big, and there is not only one country on this land. Problems that cannot be solved by the Lance Empire may not be so difficult in other countries. Many times, as long as we think about it from a different perspective, we will find that it is actually very simple."

—————————

A shrewd liar is best at arranging all kinds of scams. For them, identity disguise is a basic part of any scam, and it is a required course for every liar.

In Houlding's view, disguising the identity of thousands of people is not necessarily much more difficult than disguising the identity of one person.

The reason is very simple, first find out the trick of camouflage, and then copy this trick countless times.

If there is any difference between them, it is that individual scammers often require more detail, and the camouflage process needs to be accurate to the details, while group fraud does not need to be so detailed, and only needs to grasp the most critical part.

Put this problem on Huey's new team, and the problem is even simpler.

It's impossible for Huey to defraud thousands of people, all they need is identity. For scammers, there is one kind of identity that is best to pretend-entry from abroad.

"You mean to appear in the Reims Empire in the form of a foreign inbound team?" Cleo could hardly imagine that Houding would come up with such an idea.

"That's right." Huo Ding replied with certainty, and he spread out a map: "Look, there are a total of twelve neighboring countries around the Lance Empire. Among them, apart from the Frank Empire and the Georgia Empire, which are two big empires and are at war with the Lance Empire, there are a total of ten small countries bordering the empire."

Xiu Yi nodded, pointed at the map and said, "Among the ten small countries, four countries are attached to the Lance Empire, and three are attached to Frank and Georgia. If you have to choose, the most suitable ones are the four small countries attached to the Lance Empire and the three neutral countries."

Others also nodded again and again.

Buckler asked, "How about the Kingdom of Castle? It's the closest to here, and we're the most familiar with the situation there."

Xiu Yi immediately denied: "The population of the Kingdom of Castle is too small, there are only three small groups in total, and the total population does not exceed 300,000, so it is not suitable."

Lilith also asked: "Where is the Kingdom of Matterson?"

Xiu Yi still shook his head: "They are diehards of the Lance Empire and have maintained close ties with the empire for many years. There are even many people from the Matterson Kingdom who hold official positions in the Lance Empire. The relationship is too close to be suitable."

Everyone then proposed a few more places, but they were all rejected by Xiuyi one after another.

At that time, Bolan suddenly said, "Sido."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous place on the map at the same time.

Sido, one of the three neutral countries among the twelve countries around Reims.

Unlike the other two neutral countries, Xiduo is not neutral in the true sense. It is a country of wasteland and chaos that even the Lance Empire is unwilling to conquer.

People call this the most chaotic place in the Northern Continent.

This is also the only country that is not under the full control of human beings.

The personnel composition here is very heterogeneous, there are elves, dwarves, orcs, and all kinds of people.

The Kingdom of Wasteland was first established on a barren wilderness with poor resources and few people. It was first established by a group of exiled prisoners. In order to survive, the people here have had close communication with the local aborigines. This exchange includes fraud, murder, war, bargaining, rape and a litany of other acts.

People of various races get acquainted with, understand, develop and grow in this kind of communication, and in this kind of close communication, they gradually integrate into a strange multi-ethnic mixed country. Therefore, the people living here may be the weirdest people in the entire continent. You can see the mixed races, intermarriage, children of various skin colors, and various forms, but at the same time, it is full of chaos, fighting, killing, and death...

The people here are fierce, brave, and ruthless. Due to the poor resources in the wasteland country, fighting for a little food often happens. In the development of thousands of years, every commoner here has learned to grow up in battle from birth. Those with a weak constitution are only eligible to die early.

The population here is small, but brave and hard to provoke.

Force is not only the basis for the survival of the people of Wasteland, but also the basis for development. Eighty percent of the men here will engage in the same profession after they grow up - mercenaries.

The mercenaries of Wasteland Land are probably the best quality and cheapest in the entire Fengming Continent. Their asking price is cheap, and they fight bravely. Since they live in a mixed race, there are many ferocious beasts in the wasteland, and they grew up in battles, so they have seen all kinds of big scenes and are suitable for most combat missions, so they are very popular among countries.

It is precisely because the wasteland is barren and the people are fierce, so no country is interested in attacking here, so that they can always remain free and neutral.

And now, Boland has come up with Sidor's name.

"Choosing Xiduo has several advantages. One: the people there are complicated, the land is sparsely populated, and the people are fierce. Our personnel are very similar to them in this aspect. Two: Xiduo's national policy is open. For them, the entry of foreigners is the best way to bring in resources, so they welcome foreign merchants. Of course, that does not mean that they will not rob merchants. It is more dangerous than the mountainous area of ​​Villas. Legal citizens. Three: Because there are multiple tribes living in a mixed way, and foreigners have been encouraged to enter, so the accent is very different. This is a perfect excuse for us people, after all, our people come from all over the empire. Four: We can even establish a permanent base there and openly recruit personnel as a supplement for combat power. Five: Although Xiduo has poor resources, there are also some special resources that other countries do not have. Among them are some very ferocious monsters. For Xiu Yi, they are the best alchemy resources. Staying in Xiduo and not going out, just hunting monsters to provide Xiuyi with materials, the profits earned are enough to feed everyone."

"However, national policies do not represent local public opinion. As far as I know, people there are very xenophobic. What they welcome is the property of foreign merchants, not people." Bakler expressed concern. If you want to go to such an unfamiliar country, once the local people do not accept them, you will encounter considerable resistance.

In particular, the various peculiar customs caused by the mixed residence of multiple ethnic groups are enough to cause headaches in themselves.

No one knows when they will get into trouble if they are not careful.

"In addition, there is still a long distance from here to Xiduo." Huo Ding also said.

"Distance is not a problem." Xiu Yi said decisively: "I can make the teleportation circle first, and then find someone to take it first. As for the local folk customs, it seems that we need a guide. As long as we pay a lot of money, there must be someone willing to work for us."

Bolan immediately replied: "That's not necessary. In fact, in this valley, there is one Xido."

Everyone was stunned.

Are there many people here?

Xiu Yi looked at the Sixth Heavenly King in amazement, and saw the wolf of the fierce wind laughing: "It's not us, to be precise, he is not one of us yet. But don't forget, the country of wasteland is a country of mixed races."

"You mean... Haley the Lion King?" Buckle called out strangely.

———————————

Hearing the name Haley the Lion King, Cleo jumped out first: "I object!"

Although Haley is not a pervert like Raiden Boyce, as the warden, it is impossible for him to treat the prisoners too well.

The innate opposition makes them have extreme hatred and dissatisfaction with each other. As early as when they robbed the prison, many prisoners tried to kill Hailey.

Having Haley join the team was unacceptable to many inmates.

But Boland immediately glared at Cleo. This time, he didn't instruct Cleo to do so.

However, no matter what, all the kings expressed at the same time that they were absolutely unwilling to accept Hailey to join the team.

This made Xiu Yi frowned.

The time we spent together was short, and Xiuyi's prestige in the hearts of the Six Heavenly Kings had not been fully established. To solve this problem, it was still only Bolan, and only him, who had the ability to make everyone obedient.

At that time, he noticed that Boland seemed to be aware of this problem, so when Xiu looked at him, he looked back at Xiu unceremoniously, as if he had something to say.

After thinking for a while, Xiu Yi said, "Bolan, come out for a while, I have something to say, and I want to talk to you alone."

it's time.

Bolan knew exactly why Huey was looking for him.

In fact, he was quite satisfied that Xiu Yi could restrain himself from looking for him until now.

"I don't want you to misunderstand, Hugh Iglesle. In fact, I have never been interested in power."

Lying on that rock, Bolan said leisurely.

He took a bath by the mountain spring not far away, and then tidied up his beard and hair, which made him look much more pleasing to the eye than before.

"I guess you are trying to use the difficulty in the previous meeting as a bargaining chip with me." Bolan admired Xiuyi's performance.

This boy is indeed very smart.

"I know you want to use me to lure Mallet away, so according to your plan, you will send me out of here soon."

"Yes."

"But I hope you will change your mind."

"Changed your mind?"

"Yes. In your previous plan, you didn't have such a large number of subordinates, but now you have one. Hugh Iglare, you can definitely formulate a new plan that is more in line with the current situation."

"Mallet is a seventh-level fire mage. I don't think I need to remind you. You should also know what the consequences will be once a fire mage has the opportunity to perform at his full potential. In the face of magic, the number of people is sometimes meaningless."

"Yes, I know. But I still hope you will take my advice."

"how do you want to do it?"

"Duel with Mallet, and I'll kill him, just myself."

"That's impossible. Even if you were once a sky warrior, you are now just a useless person with no hands or feet."

"But you once promised me that you could give me new hands and feet!" Bolan yelled.

Once this wild tiger became serious, its huge aura immediately enveloped the audience.

But the current Xiu Yi is no longer the little servant who knows nothing in the past and can only bow his head and bow his head in a way of begging for perfection.

With a soft snort, Xiu Yi's fighting spirit also began to increase significantly. Although it was not as big and powerful as Bolan's, it ensured that he could stand upright under this tide-like aura.

"I promised, but it won't be easy."

"I don't care! Xiu Yiglaer, you promised me, I want you to fulfill your promise!"

"Even then, you have no chance of beating Mallett."

"So I need your help, and I need you to give me more than what you promised. Hugh Igles, I know that you are the most outstanding alchemist in the world, and I know that you must have a way to help me achieve what I want. I will kill Marit, and kill him with my own hands!"

Xiu Yi was silent for a while, and finally said: "Yes, I can do it. I can help you have enough force. I can make you the most terrifying half-human, half-golem existence in the world. I can make every inch of your body a weapon. Coupled with your own fighting energy, I can even make you a more terrifying existence than the sky warrior. But unfortunately, I can't promise you. Because it requires me to pay a huge price."

"What price?"

"There are a lot of materials, and the consumption is far beyond your imagination. It is likely to consume half of the materials I currently have at one time... That is enough to make ten teleportation circles." Xiuyi shook his head and said: "So even if you give up competing with me for power, I can't agree to you. You should know the value of materials to alchemists."

"How can you promise me? I can swear allegiance to you, serve you with my life, and all my strength belongs to you, as long as you help me do this."

"I refuse." Contrary to Bolan's expectation, Xiuyi rejected Bolan's request without hesitation: "Even if you are loyal to me, your purpose is to challenge Mallet with the body I built for you. But golden robe mages are not so easy to deal with, and I fully understand your hatred. If you find that you cannot defeat your opponent, then the consequence is likely to be that you drag him to die together. Everything you put in may be in vain. So, unless you give up seeking revenge on Mallet alone and do things according to my plan, I will not make such a huge sacrifice for you. Shouldn't a loyal subordinate obey his master in everything?"

At that time, Boland suddenly said: "What if I have something more valuable than those materials?"

Xiu Yi was slightly taken aback: "What did you say?"

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Bolan's face: "Don't you want to know why a sky warrior ended up in such a state? Don't you want to know what it is that made Abraham Mallet torture me at all costs without killing me? In my hand, there is something he wants very much. No, it's not just him, it's something that every strong man in the entire Lance Empire desires. Don't you want to know what it is?"

Xiu Yi stared blankly at Bolan for a long time before he said, "Except for alchemy, there is nothing else in this world that fascinates me."

"Including the Blade of Darkness?"

Bolan's words hit Xiu Yi's heart like a thunderbolt.
