Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 28: The New Assistant
The first floor of the alchemy tower.
Xiu Yi lay on the ground panting heavily.
He is exhausted.
If you want to achieve the best fit with the angel's wings, you must use it non-stop, so that your body will gradually get used to the pain caused by the extended limbs.
Although Electra claims that repeated use can reduce the pain and eventually become one, but so far, the degree of pain reduction has only just weakened to the point where Huey will not pass out.
Lilith on the side wiped the sweat off Xiu Yi's forehead in distress. In her eyes, most of the time this young man appeared cunning, wise, and calm. She rarely saw such a tenacious and tenacious side of Xiu Yi. But it was also because of this that she realized how much effort Xiu Yi had put in to survive from that island.
It was such a huge sacrifice that allowed him to come to the present, and also made him fall in love with him so deeply.
"You don't have to work so hard." Lilith said softly. The little pepper in the past stood in front of Xiuyi and became a gentle kitten, with endless tenderness in her words.
"We don't have much time. I have to get used to Angel Wings as soon as possible. The improvement it brings me is very significant." Xiuyi replied naked.
"I have someone make a new dress for you, with two diagonal slits on the back side, so that when the angel's feather clothes are deformed in the future, you don't have to be naked."
"Thanks."
"You are so polite, it makes me unhappy."
Xiu Yi hesitated for a moment.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but at this moment, Buckler strode in from the outside: "You'd better look at this thing, Huey."
An invitation flew into Xiu Yi's hands.
"Which company's invitation card?" Xiu Yi took it and asked casually. During this period of time, the Dardanelles received many invitations, but most of the time, Huoding was responsible for the entertainment. The development of the Dardanelles in Winnington is progressing rapidly, and their reputation is on the rise.
"Imperial Palace." Buckler replied, "The Frank Empire and the Lance Empire have reached peace, and the little princess will marry the Prince Frank. The little princess invites you to the reception banquet the day after tomorrow. It is a banquet to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Frank, which will be hosted by Her Royal Highness herself."
"Avril?" Xiu Yi was a little surprised. She is getting married? To marry a Frank? The news made him dizzy for a moment.
"Why did Princess Lance marry a Frank?" Lilith was puzzled.
Buckler shook his head: "We don't understand political matters, but Xiuyi, I don't think you can go. Princess Avril won't invite you to a banquet for no reason, she must have doubted your identity."
Xiu Yi immediately said: "Doubt is just doubt. There are too many people who doubt me, but that doesn't explain anything."
After thinking for a while, Xiu said: "Bryan, the opinion that the Dardanelle family brought to everyone in Winnington is to break into the high society at all costs. Her Royal Highness Princess Avril sent us an invitation, which is an affirmation of us. If we don't go, we will be suspected. All our efforts will become meaningless. If the Dardanelle family can be recognized by the royal family, it will be great news for the whole family. The marriage plan will also go very smoothly. Considering family issues, I have to go."
"But……"
"Secondly, the Lance Empire and the Franks have negotiated peace, and the external pressure will be greatly reduced. Without external pressure, no matter how much internal turmoil there is, there will be no big storms. For me, this is definitely not good news. We should find a way to destroy the marriage."
"Third, although I don't know why the Franks married Avril, I believe that Avril herself would not like such an ending. Regardless of her relationship issues, no princess would ever be willing to marry to a foreign country. I owe Avril. Without her, I might not be able to leave the island alive. She came to me, probably because she wanted to ask me for help."
I have to admire Xiu Yi's wisdom. In just a few minutes, he can clearly see the nature of the problem.
Buckler nodded: "You are quite right, but what if Her Highness the Princess finds out about you?"
"She may not tell if she sees through it. As long as Avril Lavigne does not want to marry, she will not expose me. Of course, it is always bad to let her see through, but anyway, the Dardanelles now have an opportunity to form an alliance with the princess. This opportunity cannot be missed. I will let Avril Lavigne know that I am not who she thought I was, but I can also help her do what she wants to do. In public and private, we cannot let the two empires form a marriage, so we have to go, to help Avril Lavigne get out of the predicament... to destroy the armistice agreement !"
Lilith stared blankly at Xiu Yi. Although what Xiu Yi said was righteous, at that moment, she suddenly felt that all the reasons were just superficial. The fact that Avril Lavigne was going to get married brought an incomparable shock to Xiu Yi's heart.
All rational analysis may be just a grandiose excuse, hidden behind that seriousness may be a deep affection.
It's just that Xiuyi didn't want to admit it, and Lilith also didn't want to expose it.
Buckler had no room to refute Xiu Yi's statement, he nodded: "Okay."
"Then...the Dardanelles will attend the welcome banquet the day after tomorrow. Hugh Igles will also appear, kill Weston, clear the suspicion on me, and kill multiple things in one fell swoop. Let Wen Lington tremble in the storm." Huey said in a serious tone.
Raising his left hand lightly, a hurricane formed in the palm of his hand, blowing vigorously towards the endless distance.
Xiu Yiglaier's wind spell has finally reached level four.
———————————
"You said that Her Royal Highness the Little Princess invited the Dardanelles?" Raschel's expression was a little strange.
Padgett nodded: "Yes, ever since Her Royal Highness the Little Princess met Siser Dardanelle by chance at the School of Magic, she asked me to investigate this person. Now she is going to hold a banquet again, and specifically invites the heir of the Dardanelle family to participate. Although we all know that Her Royal Highness is free to choose guests, to be honest, the Dardanelle family is not qualified for the princess to personally attend the royal banquet."
Raschel leaned back on the chair and put his feet on the desk: "It's very interesting, the fragrance from a bone attracted two wolf dogs."
Padgett's face changed slightly: "Raschel, pay attention to your words. Also, you can't be sure whether Siser Dardaniel is Xiu Yiglaer or not. There are indeed similarities between them, but there are thousands of young people in the world, and there is not only one outstanding boy, Sissy Darniel. Plain suspicion is meaningless!"
"Don't worry, my old friend, I really can't be sure, but that doesn't mean I can't be sure."
"You said you have a way?"
"A lot." Raschel said with a grin. "I'm just looking for a suitable time."
"You have done a lot of things these days, and I am under a lot of pressure to protect you. If you don't show some results, I'm afraid you won't have to be in charge of this case in the future."
Raschel's face darkened: "Be patient, my friend."
"I have, but His Majesty the Emperor may not have. You must know that the empire had to stop the war because of the incident in Royo City. The price is already heavy enough."
"Okay." Raschel stood up: "In this case, Padgett, you come with me, and I will take you to meet some people."
Raschel led Padgett out of the Jurisdiction building.
On the opposite side of the building, there is a small shop.
Raschel took Padgett into the store, greeted the clerk inside, and asked in a low voice, "Is everyone there?"
"Yes." The man nodded.
Raschel walked inside.
After entering, Padgett discovered that it turned out to be a dark room. Raschel touched a wall for a long time, as if some mechanism had been activated, the wall opened like a door, revealing a descending staircase and a deep corridor.
To Padgett's surprise, there were several people standing at the entrance of the passageway. They were Gale Arilon, Adam Otten, Alec Hanley and Cressida Kirk, the four warriors who survived the Battle of Royo City.
"Arilon, why are you here?" Padgett and Arilon were both imperial warriors who served the empire, so they naturally knew each other.
Arilon replied coldly: "Spak Prison is finished, and Royo City is also finished. I was reprimanded by the Empire, and I lost all face. Raschel found us and hoped to cooperate with us. There is no end to death between us and Xiu Yiglaer."
Padgett turned back and glared at Raschel: "What do you want to find them for?"
"Don't worry, old friend, Arilon and the others are my new assistants."
"New assistants? What about Chakle and the others?"
Raschel laughed: "They are no longer trustworthy. I suspect that they have colluded with Hugh Igleser. Don't worry, I will be able to prove this in a short time."
"Really? What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I'll take you to meet other people first."
"Anyone else?"
"We can't deal with Xiu Yiglaer alone. To kill him, we need a real strong man." Arilon said coldly.
As an earth warrior, Arilon's strength is definitely not weaker than Padgett. Padgett's heart trembled slightly when Arilon said the words "truly strong".
He looked at Raschel: "Where else can you find a strong man?"
"Come with me and you'll know." Raschel waved to Padgett and walked deep into the corridor.
Arilon and others followed behind.
Raschel said as he walked: "Over the years, the Legal Affairs Bureau has been mainly responsible for maintaining local law and order and arresting criminals. But criminals are not all weak and deceitful. On the contrary, most criminals are quite powerful. In order to deal with these powerful criminals, the Legal Affairs Bureau has never given up recruiting some real strong people to serve itself. These strong people are not really affiliated with the Legal Affairs Bureau, but they have good friendship with each other, and they can be called in when necessary."
Raschel turned back and smiled at Padgett: "It is not an easy task to call these people. Not only does it need the consent of the director, but also their own consent. If it is a task they don't want to take, the director's order is useless. I spent a lot of time and energy to please them, and finally got those few people to agree to take action."
With that said, Raschel had already brought Padgett to the entrance of the basement gate.
Pushing open the door, Padgett saw three people sitting there.
An old man, a middle-aged man and a boy in red.
The moment Padgett came in, the middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Long time no see, Padgett."
"Lord Hampton!" Padgett yelled.
The person in the basement at this moment is one of the five powerful stars of the empire, Alexander Hampton.
The star powerhouse, the strongest existence under the sanctuary.
In the entire Lance Empire, there are only five known star warriors, and they are distributed in various parts of the empire. Except for one star warrior who served in the empire, the other four were idle and wild cranes, refusing to serve the empire.
When the strength has reached the point where the stars are strong, most people will no longer be slaves to others. None of the four great sanctuaries of the empire has official positions in the empire. Of the five star warriors and four seventh-level mages, only two have official positions. About one-third of the sky warriors and sixth-level mages have no official positions.
The higher the strength, the fewer official positions.
This is also the reason why the commander of the guards next to the majestic princess can only be an eighth-level earth warrior.
Of course, although these strong men have no official positions, no matter where they appear, they will not be underestimated. All localities will treat them like Shangguan. Occasionally, these strong men will also be entrusted to help solve some minor troubles for the local government.
If the country encounters a big trouble that cannot be solved, then the empire will also hire these powerful people to serve the empire for a short time. This kind of short-term service is welcomed by the powerful. Although they do not have formal official positions, most of them also bear some other positions such as guest ministers. For example, Hampton himself is nominally the patriarch of the Imperial Royal Temple. The so-called Royal Temple is prepared for those powerhouses who are above the seventh level and do not want to take up official positions. All the strong come here, even if they are registered in the empire.
Among the five star powerhouses known to Padgett, Lancelot was the only one who did not accept the position of patriarch of the temple. There are four more, one serving in the empire, taking on the important task of protecting His Majesty the emperor, as the commander of the royal guards, and one serving in the imperial army, accepting short-term commissions and sitting on the battlefield. There are two remaining, and one of them is being invited by Hou Jin, a son of the aristocratic family, to search for Xiu Yilaer all over the world.
There is another one, the middle-aged man Hampton who appeared in front of him.
Although there is no formal official position, everyone will seriously call out "Master" in the face of a real strong man, which is a respect for strength. Alexander Hampton is currently the third-ranked star powerhouse in the Lance Empire, known as the Moonlight God of War. It is said that Hampton likes to fight on the night of the full moon, and no one has ever defeated him at night.
Padgett didn't know what method Raschel used to invite this star power out, but at this moment he faced Hampton respectfully and said, "I met you once ten years ago, and I didn't expect you to remember me."
Hampton smiled and nodded: "You are a talented warrior, but in recent years, you have never made a breakthrough. Mundane affairs have affected your state of mind, and trivial matters have reduced your training time."
"Yes." Padgett replied ashamedly.
For Raschel's arrival, Hampton's reaction was straightforward: "Are you ready to act, Raschel?"
"Yes." Raschel nodded: "His Royal Highness has invited the Dardanelles to the banquet. I think Hugh Iglesia will show up then."
"Why do you say that?"
"Hugh Igles and the little princess have a deep friendship, which Padgett can prove. The little princess is going to get married, so he should always respond."
"What if he doesn't come?"
"Then we'll force him out. You know, I've prepared enough bait. This time, I'm going to throw one or two first."
Hampton lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "The Harden family?"
"Yes."
"That's a good idea." Hampton nodded.
"It's a great honor to receive your approval." Facing the star powerhouse, Raschel did not dare to be too presumptuous. He turned to Padgett and said, "I need you to help me prepare an invitation so that I can attend the little princess' banquet."
"There is no problem with this, but..." Padgett hesitated before continuing: "Although Lord Hampton is a star powerhouse, as far as I know, Hugh Igles is already very powerful. He once killed two sky warriors by himself. Wouldn't it be better if he could prepare more?"
Although Padgett didn't say it explicitly, what he implicitly meant was actually asking about the strength of the other two people.
Hampton stretched out his hand and pointed to the old man beside him: "Kinish, a very capable archmage, he never disappoints, because he is a prophet."
Prophet? Padgett was taken aback.
Although prophets do not have much combat effectiveness, they possess extraordinary insight and have an extremely keen perception of danger.
It's just that prophets do not belong to any kind of mainland magic system, and there is no way to practice prophecy. Except for the prophet himself, no one knows what kind of prophecy exists. The only thing that is certain is that prophets are definitely rarer than top masters, and each of them is a national treasure.
Padgett did not expect that Raschel would find a prophet to serve him.
"I have met the master." Padgett quickly gave the old man a respectful salute: "Your arrival will make Hugh Iglesel nowhere to escape."
The master of prophecy, Jinish, shook his head: "You're welcome, but prophecy is not that magical. We can't see anything specific, but can only vaguely grasp the pulse of future changes, and then make certain speculations. Even so, there are still various restrictions before I can use prophecy."
"It's enough." Raschel laughed.
Hampton pointed to the boy in red next to him: "His name is Danny Dallymore, and he is also an alchemist."
Dallymore? Padgett was startled, the oldest alchemy family in the Lance Empire?
This family is not rich in martial arts, but there will always be some talented alchemists, and quite a few of them will enter the palace and become royal alchemists. Has considerable influence in the empire. Until now, there are many extraordinary alchemy techniques that are still only mastered by this family, and they are kept secret.
Andrew is the heir of the Dallymore family.
Padgett did not expect that this boy in red would be a member of the Dallymore family.
At this moment, the red-clothed boy slowly raised his head: "Andrew is my second uncle, but I didn't come here to avenge him, because I have never met him, and I don't care about him. The reason why I accepted Raschel's invitation is because I often hear people say that the most talented alchemist in the Lance Empire is Xiu Yiglaier. I am not convinced. I will let people know that I, Danny Dallymore, is the number one genius alchemist in the empire."
