Almighty Alchemist

After seeing off the last guest, the Castle of Fog Hidden finally returned to its former tranquility.

The dance was over, and all the busywork was over.

Tonight, Xiu Yi was able to make a small splash, and also got to know many young ladies from famous noble families.

But to say which one he took a fancy to, it was still too far away.

For the Dardanelles, the road to high society is long and arduous, and they can only be taken step by step. It is impossible to solve a big event at once.

On the other hand, Raschel, this guy came uninvited, and brought Harden's family with him.

what does that mean?

He still doubted Huey.

Thinking of this, Xiu Yi couldn't help but feel a little headache.

How should I deal with this cautious, suspicious, and secretive old fox?

"Still thinking about Raschel?"

In front of the gate of the castle, the clever Christine saw what Huey was thinking at a glance.

Xiu Yi smiled wryly: "I found that I underestimated him a bit, and I was thinking about how to deal with this guy."

Buckler hummed and said: "I don't think you need to think too much about this issue. Xiuyi, you are too used to outsmarting your opponents. This may be related to your long-term survival experience on Purgatory Island, so that when you face the enemy, you always treat yourself as the weaker side. But you forgot one thing, you are no longer the little servant you used to be. You are already a strong man."

Strong? Xiu Yi froze, is he already a strong man?

"Yes." Buckler said with certainty: "No matter what method you use, it is good to be able to defeat your opponent. You killed two sky warriors in one battle, which is enough to prove your strength. So when you think about problems in many cases, you may wish to think about it from a different angle. When dealing with people like Raschel, you are a little emotional. Why do you have to argue with him? If you want to play games, I have no objection. But if you overplay it, you will be burned. , all your hard work will fall short. Now it is not the past, and the Dardanelles are on their way to success. If you don’t take decisive measures to avoid losses, then the consequences...you know what it should be."

Xiu Yi was shocked: "You mean..."

"There is one of the oldest and most effective methods to deal with opponents. It can be used on Raschel, and it can also be used on that Earl of Weston. A sharp knife...can cut through messes." Buckler said gloomyly.

Huey was silent.

He thought for a while before he nodded and said, "You're right, Brian, I'm too relaxed on this issue. Then do as you said, find the right time and the right place. Hugh Igles will appear in time. Kill Raschel and kill Weston."

A satisfied smile appeared on Buckler's face: "This is where you stand out the most. You can always draw good advice."

"Thank you, Brian."

"You are welcome."

A few people chatted casually about the action plan in the future. Christine is a non-military faction, not interested in this aspect, and returned to her room early. Buckler decided to send a few people first to find out the target's life and behavior patterns, and then Xiu Yi would personally attack him in his true colors.

After discussing this matter, Buckler also returned to his residence.

Xiu Yi stood alone in front of the castle gate, looking at the tall castle, feeling a little emotional for a moment.

He once again thought of the difficult years in the past.

Shaking his head slightly, he put all the bad memories behind him, and when he was about to go back to the room, the corner of his eye caught something.

Xiu Yi was shocked.

In front of the gate of the castle, the two statues of four-winged brutes sat there quietly, motionless. But when Xiuyi tried to enter the castle just now, he found a strange aura overflowing from one of the statues—the aura of magic.

How can there be magic fluctuations in stone statues?

The only answer is...alchemy.

Xiu Yi turned around like a whirlwind and came to the statue.

At this point, the magic wave has disappeared.

Xiu Yi walked around the statue, but couldn't find any source of magic power, and couldn't see any traces of the existence of organs, nor the existence of magic circle scales.

But Xiu Yi knew that the feeling just now was definitely not his own illusion.

The only explanation is that the magic circle is inside the statue.

But if you can't destroy the statue, how can you get in touch with the magic circle? Without touching the core of the magic circle, it is impossible to crack it.

Also, what happened to the magic fluctuation just now? It can't just pop up for no reason.

There is a reason for everything, two statues, why does one of them appear abnormal, while the other is fine?

Huey thought over and over.

He suddenly remembered, isn't this statue the one he used in the duel with Bateson earlier?

Could it be that the previous Dadu accidentally triggered something?

Huey mobilized all his brainpower, trying desperately to recall the scene of his battle with Bateson. His brain is like a motor in full swing, desperately meeting every detail. From the beginning of Bateson's attack on him to the final defeat, Bateson never dared to destroy the statue.

When Bateson fell from the statue in the memory, Huey's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Bateson's hurt, I see he's bleeding, though it's just a scrape." Huey almost screamed. Then stared at the statue carefully: "But why is there no blood on the statue? I saw a few drops of blood fall on it with my own eyes."

He searched carefully, and although it was already dark, the light was enough for Xiu Yi, who had cultivated to a fifth-level warrior.

He was pretty sure there wasn't even a trace of blood on the statue.

Xiu Yi didn't hesitate any longer, stretched out his arm and scratched it casually, the sharp vindictiveness cut through the unprotected skin, and blood gurgled on the statue.

This time, Xiu Yi clearly saw that after the blood fell on the statue, it stayed on it at first.

But gradually, the color became more and more dim.

After about an hour, the bloodstains disappeared completely, and at the same time, there was another wave of magic power on the statue.

This time, the fluctuation of magic power is more obvious than before.

"So it's like this..." Xiu Yi understood a little.

Xiu Yi, who had browsed through the library, knew that in the lost alchemy a long time ago, there was a magic circle called the blood sacrifice circle.

The Blood Sacrifice Formation does not use the traditional energy spar as the power source, but blood as the core of power. This is a bit like a blood spell, which requires sacrifice of blood to be used.

Xiu Yi was almost sure that the magic circle hidden in the statue must be a blood sacrifice circle, and it was because of this that the vision just now appeared. For the blood sacrifice formation, blood is the source of energy, and the blood sacrifice formation will instinctively absorb blood, so the blood that fell on the statues will be gradually absorbed.

What Xiuyi couldn't figure out was how Electra managed to put this circle into the statue. Moreover, even the Blood Sacrifice Formation cannot support hundreds of years of consumption. So Electra must have other auxiliary arrangements.

But in any case, the secret discovery of this statue finally gave Xiuyi a glimmer of light in his research on the castle.

People are not afraid of a difficult future, but they are afraid of having no direction under their feet.

No matter how difficult the road is, as long as there is a direction, you can always complete it. Xiu Yi has already made up his mind, and before entering the tower, he must first decipher the secret of the statue. If you can't even do this, entering the tower can only be an act of death.

So how can we open this statue that cannot be attacked and break the blood ritual circle?

Huey was lost in thought.

———————————

The following days seemed monotonous and dull.

Xiu Yi plunged into the understanding and investigation of the Blood Sacrifice Circle.

Thanks to the statue, plans to kill Raschel have been delayed for now. Of course, this is also related to Raschel's own caution. This old guy has become erratic since he attended the ball. Unless it was office hours, most of the time, even Chakle didn't know where he was.

During this period of time, the Dardanelle family had successfully met some people at the ball, so they would occasionally receive ball invitations from some nobles. The main invitee was Siser Dardanelle, and the organizers were mostly down-and-out nobles.

Although the Dardanelle family looks rich and the young heir looks smart and handsome, the nature of the nouveau riche still makes most wealthy families look down on them.

After Bateson's failure in the duel, the Bannister family did not move much, but no one knew when trouble would come.

But the Dodge firm, the Bavaria family and the San Marino firm have frequently visited Xiuyi during this time. The main purpose of their coming was the problem of industrialization of alchemy raised by Xiu Yi at the previous ball. To complete this pioneering work, one needs alchemy products that meet the requirements and alchemy that can be learned and applied by most ordinary people. Even though Xiu Yi had been studying the blood ritual circle, he still tried his best to meet these business dignitaries.

Xiu Yi took out several alchemy products that he had made earlier, and then explained the specific production methods to everyone, and made it in front of everyone's interview. After reading it, several business leaders discussed it and believed that there is indeed a basis for mass production. Moreover, this product does not have high requirements for materials, and the materials used are not rare.

So they decided to make a small investment first, find a piece of land in Wenlington, build a large-scale alchemy product production base, and then recruit some workers, and Xiu Yi will be in charge. Xiu Yi holds 15% of the technology, and then everyone contributes together, and the proportion of shares is calculated according to the capital.

This share is quite good for Xiu Yi. After all, the technology he brought out is not a top-level alchemy product, but some practical alchemy products that cannot be mass-produced, but are produced with new quantifiable processing methods. This is like Edison inventing the light bulb and Ford inventing the assembly line. For the heads of various businesses, the assembly line technology is not responsible, but the person who invented the assembly line is undoubtedly capable and potential, and is worth investing in. What's more, Xiu Yiglaer is not only an excellent businessman, but also an excellent alchemist. Maybe he can accomplish two things at the same time: inventing new products and popularizing new products.

As long as there is one kind of product like this, the business will make a fortune.

Of course, they don't think that this kind of product will appear soon, but they need to have a long-term view when doing business. However, several big figures in the business world, including Mr. Dodge, never imagined that Xiuyi would give them a big surprise so soon.
