Almighty Alchemist

Misty Castle, located at the very edge of Wenlington, the junction of the western and southern suburbs, still belongs to the ancient castle area of ​​the southern suburbs in name. And the entire castle area, all the ancient buildings added up, may not be as famous as the Fog Hidden Castle.

The current owner of the Misty Castle is the Jacobs family among the four great nobles of the empire.

Of the four major families in the empire, the southern family has the most history and blood qualifications, but they were born and lost by blood. Therefore, although they are true noble families, they can only become commercial families in the end, and they are the only ones that have nothing to do with politics.

The Jacobs family is the most politically influential of the four families. Their patriarch, Duke Alec Jacobs, is the Regent of the Empire. The eldest son, Marquis Lentino Jacobs, was head of the Imperial Attorney-General, and the second son, Jacob, received an earldom and a position as director of the Winnington Police Station. The three daughters were married to three important figures in the empire, and in this case they spread out, forming a huge bureaucratic network.

The Misty Castle was bought by the Grand Duke thirty years ago. At that time, he may also have the idea and plan to uncover the secret laboratory of Electra, but thirty years is enough to wear down all ambitions.

To Xiu Yi's surprise, it was Xiu Yi himself, not someone else, that really prompted the Grand Duke to make up his mind to sell the property.

The reason is very simple, Xiu Yi's appearance and counterattack, the most affected is the Imperial Legal Affairs Bureau. The reason why Raschel was able to become the highest officer of the rat hunting operation was not only because of the support of Chakle and Padgett, but the most important point was that Marquis Lentino Jacobs trusted him very much. When he was punished for offending high-level officials, it was Lentino Jacobs who saved him and sent him to Shenzhen and Hong Kong as a magistrate.

But now, Raschel has not been able to produce results.

Huey's counterattack was sharp and fierce. Before Raschel caught him, Marquis Lentino Jacobs had already been cursed countless times by Emperor Strick VI of the Empire. However, Earl Lentino Jacobs had always trusted Raschel. He believed that if Raschel could not catch Xiu Yi, then no one might be able to catch Xiu Yi.

After all, Xiu Yi is indeed not an ordinary criminal. He has the teleportation array technology and can come and go at will. His experience on Purgatory Island also fully demonstrates this person's cunning methods. For this reason, even the emperor did not replace others immediately.

But for the Jacobs family, the appearance of Hugh Igler still seriously affected the status of the Marquis. If this continues, it is normal for the Marquis to lose his official position.

The Grand Duke thinks that the Castle in the Fog is an ominous thing.

He invested too much in this castle, killed many alchemists, and lost countless money, and the young man who caused the eldest son's status to be shaken was also an outstanding alchemist. When people become superstitious, everything can really be connected together. As a result, the Misty Castle became a burden in the heart of the Grand Duke, as unknown as Hugh Iglesle. The Grand Duke hopes that he will never have anything to do with alchemy in his life. For him, maintaining the family's honor and power is the most important thing, so he can't wait to sell the castle.

But he never expected that the Hugh Igles he hated would be the buyer of his castle.

This is the trick of the world.

Yinyue Peak is a branch at the edge of Lilegula Mountain.

The huge Lilegula Mountain almost runs through the entire continent, becoming a natural barrier for the Lance Empire. Yinyue Peak is a small tentacles it extends to the empire, it can be regarded as a small territorial claim to protect half of the Lance Empire.

This originally low and ordinary hill became one of the famous sights of the empire because of the castle located under the peak.

No one knows why the mountain is filled with fog all the year round, but even a few miles away, you can clearly see the hazy fog.

Occasionally, dry lightning strikes the sky, illuminating the fog and revealing the outline of the castle.

Tall, majestic, spectacular.

The fog is not very thick, and it only appears outside. Once you get close to the castle, your sight will be better.

What surprised Xiuyi was that the castle hidden in the mist in front of him was almost the same as his own castle on Purgatory Island in terms of architectural scale and style.

The same is the central tower, next to the tower is the subsidiary tower. The castle is built with huge stones, and there is even a corridor for guards to guard the top of the city, but there is no moat, but a large and thick iron gate.

On both sides of the big iron gate, what Xiuyi saw were two majestic stone statues of four-winged beasts with fangs.

"These two stone statues, like the castle, are left over from hundreds of years ago. They are all Electra's relics. The previous owners of the castle have cherished this place very much. Everything that may have been used by the legendary great alchemist has been preserved as much as possible. Of course, there are also a few castle owners who are ignorant and have tried to move these two stone statues. The result..."

The one who spoke was a housekeeper of the Jacobs family.

When they learned that someone wanted to buy the castle, the Jacobs family immediately sent an eloquent guide.

Unlike selling other real estate, everyone who tried to buy the Castle of Misty Castle was not rushing for the house itself, but its former owner. Therefore, those who sell the castle do not need to try their best to introduce its benefits. On the contrary, they should take the initiative to remind the other party of the matters that should be paid attention to.

"What's the result?" Xiu Yi asked at this moment.

"The person who tried to move the stone statue was struck to death by a sudden lightning bolt." The steward replied: "Although this is a place that alchemists are afraid of, ordinary people should also be careful." The steward does not know what the Dardanelles are, but a young man who can be accompanied by Mrs. Christine and lean on like a bird is always worthy of attention. He had already decided to report the situation to the patriarch immediately after returning.

"Is there anything else that needs attention?" Xiu Yi continued to ask.

"Actually not much." The butler said with a smile: "When you buy this castle, just remember a few things. First of all, don't change the architectural pattern here. It's strange to say that this castle has gone through hundreds of years, but there is no sign of damage at all. It is very strong, and only needs to be cleaned, and there is no need to worry about other problems."

"That's because there is a magic circle here to maintain everything." Xiu Yi said lightly.

"It turns out that you are also an alchemist. Yes, some alchemists have said this before." The butler sighed in his heart: "But no one has ever known how this magic circle works."

"Tell me about other things to pay attention to."

"Since you are also an alchemist, it's much easier to talk. Please come with me, and I will take you to the main hall first."

The butler led the way into the castle, followed by Huey, Christine, and Lilith, followed by Buckler, Eagle and others.

Interestingly, when Christine and Lilith entered side by side, Christine delayed a little intentionally and unintentionally, allowing Lilith to get closer to Huey, which made Lilith feel much better.

Christine is very clear that as an emotional winner, try not to appear arrogant and domineering as much as possible. On the contrary, some moderate concessions can avoid unnecessary hostility. Lilith is still young, she may be able to kill Christine with one hand, but Christine has too many ways to prevent her from attacking herself.

On the contrary, you can be good sisters.

—————————

Walking into the gate of the castle, Xiu Yi seemed to have returned to Purgatory Island.

The layout of the entire castle is almost exactly the same as that of Purgatory Island.

Under the leadership of the butler, they soon came to the main hall, and the butler began to introduce the layout here and everything around, but Xiuyi was completely clear about it.

The main hall is very large, and six large stone pillars support the entire tower building, supporting a vast space. But the main hall was empty, nothing.

Xiu Yi stood in one of the positions, but the image of Avril Lavigne appeared in her mind.

This shadow has been suppressed by him for so long that he finally couldn't help jumping out at this moment.

I still remember when we first met, Avril was sitting where she was standing now, complaining loudly to her servant. And at that time, he was standing where the butler was standing at this moment. On that day, he cleverly persuaded Avril to go to the jungle with him; on that day, he mastered the secret of using the puppet, so that he could kill the apprentice Neil later; on that day, she gradually changed, no longer so arrogant, and became dependent and trusting on herself.

Yes, it is at this position under his feet.

Xiu Yi did not expect that the castle on Purgatory Island had been destroyed, and there would be another castle with the same layout as Purgatory Island.

Is it a coincidence? Or some other reason?

Hines has been here!

Xiu Yi found out the answer almost immediately.

Why didn't he die? He walked out of this castle and let the empire rebuild the Lianhe Island Castle according to this pattern. Is there any special meaning in it?

He turned his head and asked the housekeeper, "Is there anything else that should be paid attention to here?"

The butler has already noticed that the young man in front of him is the head of everyone, so he replied respectfully: "It's the tower in the castle, it can only go up to the third floor."

Can only go up to the third floor? Xiu Yi hesitated: "Let's go to the tower to have a look."

He walked away.

There are four doors in the main hall, which lead to different directions, and it is the tower that Xiuyi went to. The butler was slightly taken aback: "Master Dardanelle, have you been here?"

Xiu Yi stopped in his tracks. He looked back at the butler with a smile on his face: "No, I haven't been here, but I guess I should go here."

"So that's the case." The butler laughed: "Then you guessed right, please follow me."

Even though Xiuyi denied that he had been to the castle, doubts arose in the butler's heart. The layout of this castle is very large, and unless someone is familiar with it, no one can quickly find the direction.

Those who serve as housekeepers for big families are mostly exquisite in their minds. If they don't have the ability to read faces, they will not be able to do this at all. What Xiu Yi revealed unintentionally aroused the housekeeper's doubts, but he didn't say anything, just doing his duty with all his heart.

"Is this the forbidden area?" Xiu Yi asked.

Standing on the third floor of the tower, looking at the stairs leading to the fourth floor, Xiu Yi felt uncertain.

The internal layout of this high tower is almost the same as that of Purgatory Island, but the stairs leading to the fourth floor are completely changed.

The stairs leading to the fourth floor are made of a black ink-like stone, which is dark and shiny. There is a door on the stairs that blocks everyone's way. This does not exist on Purgatory Island.

The door did not know what it was made of, but it shone with a strange light, and Xiu Yi could easily feel the magic breath left on it. In fact, you can see it without feeling it. There is a huge hexagram pattern carved on the door.

This was the largest hexagram that Xiu Yi had ever seen, covering almost the entire door. The six light spots shone with strange light, but it didn't give Xiu Yi the slightest sense of danger.

"It's also the real reason why the Castle of Misty Castle became the Castle of Death." The steward replied seriously: "People who have never been to this castle think that Electra's secret needs to be found. In fact, there is no need to search for it, here it is. As long as you don't try to enter this door or move the main layout here, no one will be in danger."

"So, most of the people who died are because they went to the fourth floor?"

"Yes." The butler replied: "The door can be opened, as long as you know a little about alchemy. But once you go in, you don't even think about getting out."

Christine and Lilith grabbed Xiu Yi's hand nervously at the same time. They understood Xiu Yi too well, and his enthusiasm for alchemy made him desperately explore the secrets inside.

Xiu Yi stared at the door and the huge magic circle on the door, but didn't say a word.

The housekeeper sighed, he didn't say anything to advise Xiu Yi not to go. It can be seen that this is also a buyer who came secretly for Electra. If he is advised to give up exploring the secrets in the tower, it is tantamount to suggesting that he should not buy the castle. But where his responsibility lies, he can't tell the truth.

After watching it for a long time, Xiu Yi finally said: "I will buy this castle, but I promise, I will not easily enter through this door."

Christine immediately said: "What do you mean not to enter easily? Don't try to trick us with such vague words."

"Unless I am absolutely sure, or before paying off the debt owed to you."

"There are some debts that you will never pay off, Xiu... Siser Darnell!" Christine, who was so excited, almost called out the word Xiu Yi.

She turned away angrily.

If she could, she really wanted Xiu Yi to say that she would never enter this door, but she knew that was impossible.

Watching Christine leave, Xiuyi chewed on what she said just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yes, there are some debts that he will never pay off.

Looking at Lilith's hopeful eyes, he caressed her face gently: "Trust me, if I'm not sure, I won't take it lightly."

Lilith nodded.

Then Xiuyi asked the housekeeper, "How much?"

"Ten thousand gold vits, you know that is far from the real value of this castle."

"When can I get it?"

"If you want, you can do it now. The people here have been emptied out half a year ago, and all the things have been moved away, leaving nothing immovable. You just need to clean it and you can live in it."

"Then sign the agreement."
