Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 21 Crack

Foggy Castle.

Huey, Buckler and Christine are discussing what happened today.

"Things have changed far beyond our imagination. The Dardanelles are facing threats from all directions. Huey, if you can't think of a solution to the problem, the days ahead will be very difficult for us." Buckler said seriously.

Christine also asked him: "How do you plan to handle your relationship with Princess Avril Lavigne? If she recognizes you..."

"I won't hurt her." Huey said with certainty: "She still can't be sure that I am Hugh Iglesel. I can use the teleportation array technology, just like in Royo City, to make Hugh Igles and Sissard Daniel appear in two places at the same time, to reassure her. At that time, it will also be the time for me to kill Weston and Raschel, and Bateson will be included if necessary."

"It's a way, the question is when is the right time?" Buckler asked.

Xiu Yi lowered her head and thought for a while: "If Avril Lavigne doubts me, she will definitely take the initiative to create a chance to meet me again. We just need to wait quietly."

A strange color flew through Christine's eyes: "It can be seen that she has a deep affection for you."

Are you jealous? Or jealousy?

Huey didn't know.

He walked over and gently put his arms around Christine's waist, trying to make her feel his care for her, and use actions to open her heart knot.

It worked well, and Christine nestled in his arms with affection in her eyes.

...

The days that followed became somewhat monotonous and dull.

The existences that threatened Xiu Yi and the Dardanelles did not come to them immediately, and the Dardanelles had a rare period of peace.

During this period of time, there were mainly two major events. One is that after discussing with Xiu Yi, the heads of the various firms officially bought the land near the Magic Academy and started the construction of the alchemy factory. The project of this kind of factory is not big, and it is expected to be completed in a short time. Another thing is to decipher the secrets of the castle with all your strength.

For Xiu Yi, cultivation is a long-term matter, and he cannot immediately become a strong person in a short period of time, but alchemy is different. In Wenlington, a city that was in crisis every step of the way, he urgently needed to further strengthen his strength. He used to think that he who owns the Electra notebook and the laboratory is closer to this laboratory than anyone else, but when he racked his brains and failed to find a solution to the problem, he finally realized that he was still too far away from the legendary great alchemist. This made him a little discouraged.

But today, Nancy, who is far away in the valley laboratory, brought him a piece of good news: "I know that you are currently studying the problem of deciphering the blood sacrifice circle. You know that I can't help you in this regard. And as you said, I searched every corner of this laboratory, and found no information related to this aspect. But today, the puppet assistant told me that it might be able to give you some good suggestions."

Puppet assistant? Xiu Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect that the puppet assistant he left in the laboratory would know about this aspect of alchemy.

"Call it over," he said quickly.

The huge head of Puppet Assistant No. 6 appeared in the crystal ball.

He shook his head and said to the crystal ball, "Hello, my new master."

"I hope you have good news for me, Number Six. I mean, can you help me unlock the secrets of your former master's castle?"

"Oh, if you ask me about the blood sacrifice circle and the castle, I have nothing to tell you."

"Then what can you tell me?" Xiu Yi was not angry, he knew that this thing's brain was very rigid.

"What I can tell you is about my former master's understanding of the alchemy mechanism."

"Okay, you say, that also helps my train of thought."

"Yes, my clever new master. Mrs. Nancy told me that you got another laboratory of my former master, but it is very dangerous inside, and anyone who enters will die. This reminds me of something my former master said."

"What words?"

"He never advocated the alchemy mechanism that must die. He believes that any mechanism trap should leave a way to survive, a method that can be cracked."

"Very well, I think so too. Electra is not a murderer, nor should she be. And that statue should be the key."

"Indeed, that should be the key to enter the laboratory."

"key?"

"Yes. My former master had two basic habits when he left his laboratory. One is to leave a powerful monster under guard, and the other is to need a key to open it. This key may not be a formed key, but a certain condition that needs to be met. For example, the stone gate magic circle in the valley laboratory is the key. If you did not unlock the magic circle at the beginning, you would not be able to enter the laboratory, otherwise a terrible encounter will await you."

"That is to say, my current thinking is correct. If I don't solve the mystery of the statue, entering the laboratory can only be a dead end."

"That's right, but obviously your way of solving the puzzle is wrong. You focused on the blood ritual circle inside the statue."

"You think it's wrong?"

"My former master played a very clever trick. He knew that anyone who coveted his laboratory was a fanatical pursuit of alchemy. If there is a magic circle that they have never seen before, they will definitely concentrate on cracking it."

"You mean, it's a trap, I don't need to pay attention to the magic circle inside the statue?"

"Yes, I know my former master very well. He thinks that the best alchemy trap is not in the strength of the trap itself, but in the grasp of people's hearts. So if you try hard to solve a magic circle that you can't even touch because of your persistent pursuit of alchemy, then you probably won't be able to solve his puzzle for the rest of your life. Change your thinking, and maybe you will find that things are actually not that difficult."

A gleam of light flashed in Xiu Yi's eyes: "Change your thinking..."

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Number Six, what understanding do you have about your former master?"

No. 6 replied: "He has always believed that a lock can be added to the door leading to knowledge, but the key to open the lock only needs to be kept secret."

Xiu Yi suddenly realized.

"Thank you very much, number six. Without you, I might still be wandering about how to safely open the statue. But in fact, Electra told me clearly that he doesn't want anyone to destroy the castle."

As he spoke, he stood up and hurried towards the castle gate.

When he came, he was still regretting, all the time he was thinking about how to open the statue safely, get in touch with the blood ritual circle inside, and then decipher the mechanism left by Electra, so that he can enter the laboratory safely.

But in fact, Electra has long left the method and way to enter the laboratory. The purpose of that statue is not to destroy it, it is a key. Keys should be reusable. It exists to open doors, not to be destroyed.

From the very beginning, Xiu Yi fell into a misunderstanding of thinking.

The disappearance of those bloodstains may not be a discovery, but a reminder, a reminder that Electra intentionally left on it, but Xiuyi thought that he accidentally discovered this big secret, so he found the key, but he never realized the original intention of the key.

Standing in front of the four-winged tusk beast statue at the gate of the castle, Xiuyi repeatedly observed the two stone statues.

These two stone statues are ferocious in appearance, with protruding sharp teeth, broad wings and majestic momentum. In the past, Xiu Yi did not observe their existence carefully, but now, Xiu Yi observed carefully and finally found that the teeth of the two stone statues were slightly different.

The stone statue on the right has one more small inwardly curved tooth than the stone statue on the left. If you don't observe carefully, you won't notice it at all.

Xiu Yi stepped forward and tried to pull the small tooth, but there was no movement.

He thought for a while, followed Xiaoya's direction, and touched the stone statue's wide open mouth.

Huey could feel a small bulge in the stone statue's mouth.

Press it down hard, and the protrusion disappears into the beast's mouth.

"Is that all right?" Xiu Yi was a little confused. He was keenly aware that it shouldn't be that simple. As assistant No. 6 said, Electra's alchemy trap was aimed at people's hearts, not the mechanism itself. When you feel like you're done, maybe it's not enough.

After thinking for a while, Xiu Yi came to the stone statue on the left again.

After turning around the stone statue, Xiuyi suddenly noticed that the eyes of the stone statue seemed to have changed color. His eyes, which were gray before, were now slightly reddened.

With a slight movement in his heart, Xiu Yi pressed hard against the eyes of the stone statue.

The two stone eyes retracted towards the stone statue at the same time, and there was a dull sound from the inside of the tower not far away, like the sound of gears turning.

Xiu Yi let out a long breath, this is the way to completely shut down the laboratory mechanism.

If anyone thinks that finding the bulge of the stone statue on the right is considered to have completed the task, then he is very wrong.

The stone statue on the left is actually the way to close the mechanism of the laboratory, and the stone statue on the right is actually the mechanism to start the stone statue on the left. The traps laid out by Electra are interlocking, and if you are not careful, you will be fooled.

Maybe someone has discovered the secret of the stone statue before, but they ignored the eyes of the stone statue on the left. As a result, after entering the laboratory, there was still an accident.

Without the reminder from the puppet assistant, Xiuyi might not be able to discover this secret for the rest of his life. Of course, even if he did, it might just be a dead end.

Standing in front of the tower, Xiu Yi knew that the time for adventure had come.

Putting his finger into his mouth, Xiu Yi let out a loud whistle.

In the air, red and green circled and flew down, landing on his shoulders.

Xu Kuang howled and rushed out from an unknown corner, and threw himself into his arms.

The black warrior and the undead demon rat also appeared in the tower, waiting for Xiu Yi's order.

Even though all the organs of the laboratory had been closed, before entering the laboratory, Xiu Yi had made all preparations for facing danger.

"Okay, friends, now is the time to explore with me." Xiu Yi said in a calm voice.
