Almighty Alchemist

"So, he rejected you?" Buckler began to mock Xiu Yi.

Who told him to want Raschel to follow him unexpectedly.

"A very firm refusal." Xiuyi also smiled: "Raschel is a loyal dog of the empire, and it is not easy for him to change this loyalty. Even before that, the Lance Empire had abandoned him."

"It's a pity, you know that Raschel is indeed a talent." Christine kneaded Xiuyi's shoulder from behind. For Christine, what happened in the Royal Garden not only almost knocked down Xiuyi, but Christine herself also encountered a big crisis. If Prince Richard hadn't proved Xiu Yi's "innocence" in the end, then she could only choose the ending of escaping with Xiu Yi.

Compared with Xiu Yi, what she will lose is all her family business.

"In this case, why not kill him?" Chakle asked.

For Raschel, Chakle had a lot of hatred in his heart.

If the old fox hadn't forced himself to do things for him, he wouldn't have become one of the most wanted criminals in the empire just like Xiu Yi. Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, the empire doesn't care too much about arresting Chakle. The problem is that from now on, he will be insulated from a life of pleasure.

"I still want to try." Huey replied.

"Want to try again?" Everyone asked in surprise.

Xiu Yi nodded with certainty: "Raschel is a proud and arrogant person, he will never give up so easily. Don't look at his cooperative behavior today, in fact he has other plans."

Raschel is an old fox, and Huey is also a young fox. Both of them have a considerable understanding of human nature.

As the saying goes, the person who understands you best is often your enemy. Of course Raschel is the one who understands Xiu Yi, so why doesn't Xiu Yi also understand each other?

The old and the young tempted each other, lied, calculated secretly, and each had their own scheming in contact with each other.

At this moment, Huey said: "Raschel told me that he was going back to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. That was a lie. All his cooperation was just an illusion. He was loyal to the empire, but he was equally angry when the empire abandoned him. A person like Raschel would not easily admit defeat. Chakle, didn't you tell you that an agent's pursuit of a prisoner, as long as he fails to catch the prisoner for one day, is a failure, but no matter how many times he fails, the agent wins in the end?"

Chakle nodded.

"That is to say, Raschel is the kind of person who can fail a hundred times and still catch the last victory. In his heart, I am still a criminal, at least in name. This is enough, so he will not give up fulfilling his duty, which is to catch me."

"But he is no longer an agent of the Legal Affairs Bureau, and there are no resources to call upon."

"So the only thing he can do... is to expose the identity of Sissy Darnell, and expose all the conspiracies to the world. In this way, he not only took revenge on the empire, but also perfectly proved himself to be the best agent." Xiuyi showed a faint smile: "I don't know how he will do this, but whether he succeeds or fails, his end is already doomed."

Looking at everyone, Huey said: "This is my last chance for Raschel. I hope to get this person and let him serve me. I know you have different ideas, but this time, I stick to my decision."

————————

That's it for Raschel.

Since it was impossible for Raschel to pose any threat to Xiu Yi in a short period of time, Xiu Yi focused all his energy on the production of the alchemy factory.

According to Xiu Yi's plan, the alchemy factory is mainly responsible for the production of stone golems and puppet warriors. This is mainly because the Vajra puppet has requirements for plastic surgery, currently only Xiu Yi can do it himself, even if it is handed over to the alchemy factory to do it, it is meaningless. Although the power of the stone golem is much lower than that of the Vajra puppet, it is cheaper in price, requires less resources, and is slightly stronger than the puppet warrior produced on Purgatory Island.

As for the puppet warriors, they were ready to be delivered to the Frank Empire. For Huey, the product was completely obsolete in his eyes.

The day after the meeting with Raschel, Keith from the Scourge Church finally came with news—after nearly a month of intense debate, the Scourge Church finally made a decision.

In the crystal ball memory.

Huey talks to Keith.

Huey said: "So the Church of Scourge only intends to make the first two transactions?"

"Yes, that's what the elders meant." Keith nodded.

Half a month of research by the Scourge Church was not in vain.

Huey proposed three deals to Keith, namely, the imitation of the Devouring Ring for alchemy, the imitation of the Dark Blade for the spells recorded in the Book of Darkness, and the news and imitation of the Brilliant Sword for the Nightmare Horse.

After some research and discussion, the elders of the Scourge Church quickly realized that the first two transactions were absolutely feasible. Although alchemy to imitate artifacts is rare, it has its own limitations after all, that is, you must have artifacts in your hands to imitate them. In other words, even if Xiu Yi broke his promise and spread alchemy, it might not have much impact on the Scourge Church. Moreover, the materials needed to imitate artifacts are mainly produced in the Southern Continent. Even if the other two churches obtained this kind of alchemy, it may not be able to play a big role.

Considering that Xiu Yi is a soul mage, it is impossible to become a friend of the Church of the Holy Spirit, so the Scourge Church does not have to worry that he will give alchemy to the Church of the Holy Spirit, so this first transaction is completely feasible.

As for the second transaction, it is even simpler.

Dark magic itself is not a mysterious spell, and what is required to practice magic is talent, not secrets. Although the Book of Darkness records some relatively rare, even lost, dark magic. But what's lost doesn't mean it's the best. On the contrary, many magics are lost because they are not practical enough. What can be handed down is the one that can stand the test. Of course, there are also a few magics that are quite good, but it is too difficult to master them, so they are lost. But in any case, the practice method of magic itself is not too rare in this continent, only the talent itself is the most precious.

So the second deal is totally doable as well.

The biggest problem was the third deal, Huey's offer for a Nightmare Horse.

For the Scourge Church, it is not difficult to kill an eleventh-level monster. No matter how powerful the monster is, it is not an opponent who is good at organizing humans. Even if the magic dragon Rita, who existed beyond the twelfth level, wanted to make waves in the human world, she would be killed by hundreds of magicians and become scum within a few days. But it is not easy to capture and tame a high-level monster.

The Scourge Church spent countless manpower and material resources to capture these two nightmare horses, and after twenty years of training, they gradually tamed them, and their value was not even weaker than the existence of magic weapons.

Huey wanted to exchange the news about the Splendid Sword for the Nightmare Horse, but none of the elders of the Scourge Church were fools. Although Xiu Yi didn't say the name of the Brilliant Sword, they also somewhat guessed something - it is very likely that Xiu Yi got an artifact from the Church of the Holy Spirit.

The reason for such speculation is precisely because Xiu Yi proposed to replace the real artifact with a counterfeit to increase the appeal of the Church of Scourge. The elders could easily imagine whether the Church of the Holy Spirit lost an artifact and replaced it with an imitation to ensure the glory of the church. And this artifact just fell into the hands of Xiu Yi, so Xiu Yi proposed such an exchange of opinions. Otherwise, Hugh Iglesel couldn't have thought of this cooperation proposal that was in his best interests, but that the Scourge Church couldn't refuse in a few seconds.

It's entirely possible.

This guess definitely excited the veterans, but it also made them lose interest in trading because of this guess.

It's not that they don't want to attack their opponents, but that the price they have to pay is too huge. For the Scourge Church, obtaining a magical weapon and losing a divine weapon to the opponent are actually two completely different concepts. Obtaining a magic weapon is to increase one's own strength, and the opponent's loss of the magic weapon only weakens the opponent's strength. Although the Holy Spirit Church is the mortal enemy of the Scourge Church, it is not the only enemy. In the eyes of the Scourge Church, there is an even more terrifying enemy, that is, the creatures of the demon world from another plane. Therefore, weakening the opponent may make oneself more satisfied psychologically, but from the perspective of actual effect, it is far more meaningful than improving one's own strength.

After repeated discussions, the Church of the Scourge believes that it is a good thing to be able to use the loss of the artifact from the Church of the Holy Spirit to deal a blow to it, but it is not too urgent. After all, once the Scourge Church claims to possess the four magic weapons of chaos, it will be a major blow to the Church of the Holy Spirit. On this basis, it is obviously not a wise choice to fight a non-main enemy located in another continent at the cost of paying a nightmare horse.

It is always prudent to weaken oneself as the price of attacking opponents.

Of course, if Xiu Yi is willing to change a condition, then under the condition of limited payment, the Church of Scourge would be more than happy to sprinkle a handful of salt on the opponent's wound.

"I just want the Nightmare Horse." Xiuyi said with certainty.

"This makes me very embarrassed." Keith said helplessly: "The resolution of the elders cannot be changed. The church has always been eager to establish a Nightmare Knights with Nightmare Horses as the main body, which will be our main battle force in the future, but in fact, even we ourselves are still far away from this goal. I gave you one, and our dream of Nightmare Knights is even farther away. But if you are willing to tell us which artifact is lost by the Church of the Holy Spirit, and if you are willing to provide us with imitations to prove it, then we can help you Provide some other things. For example, some alchemy resources special to the Southern Continent."

"That's not necessary." Xiu Yi shook her head: "I want the resources of the Southern Continent, but that can be done through other methods, such as our cooperation, you provide resources, and I will make some small things for you that you will like."

"Like a scout bee?"

Xiu Yi smiled: "Better than that."

"This can be considered, but Nightmare Horse... how about we replace you with force? We can send you a knight order to follow you and be driven by you."

"The elders of the Church of the Scourge want to drag people into the water, so there is no need to use this method? I have no plans to confront the Church of the Holy Spirit, at least not now."

"If you give us the imitation of the artifact, sooner or later, they will know that you made it."

"How long it can be delayed, even if the whole world knows it tomorrow, at least today, I will not take the initiative to say it. The Knights of the Scourge Church are very powerful, but it doesn't make much sense in the northern continent. I only want the Nightmare Horse."

Keith showed embarrassment: "This is really an impossible transaction, that's what we use for breeding."

"How are nightmare horses bred?"

"Once a year, ten to twenty mares can be bred each time. However, since the mares are not nightmare horses, only one-third of them can survive at most after breeding. It is this one-third, and there are not many that can give birth to their cubs. Therefore, a nightmare horse can only provide us with two to three young horses a year." On this issue, Keith is also very cooperative.

"How many such nightmare horses does the Scourge Church have now?"

"We have had nightmare horses for almost twenty years. At first, the nightmare horses were very uncooperative, and there were hardly any young horses. But after getting used to it, the situation gradually improved. We lost twelve animal trainers, and now we only have about seventy hybrid nightmare horses. To establish a nightmare knight order, at least three hundred are needed. Now you understand how important nightmare horses are to us, right?"

Beastmaster? Xiu Yi froze, he suddenly remembered the attack he encountered when he came to Winnington. The leader is an animal trainer.

"Did you ever send someone to ambush the envoy team of the Frank Empire?" Xiuyi asked immediately.

Keith was taken aback, with embarrassment on his face: "So you know about this."

"Why did you do that?"

"A neighbor in civil war is more popular than a neighbor living in harmony." Keith replied naturally: "If the Frank envoy is assassinated on the territory of the Reims Empire, then the peace in the northern continent will not end."

"But you also said that the main foreign enemy of the Scourge Church is the Demon Realm."

"The demon world is the main foreign enemy of all human beings." Keith corrected Xiuyi's words: "But people don't believe our opinion. They think that the demon world will not invade, because they can't come at all. People are like snails hiding in their shells, always fantasizing about peace but never facing the possible suffering. The Church of Scourges takes fighting against the apocalypse and saving natural disasters as its mission, but we need everyone's support. The southern continent alone is not enough!"

"so……"

"The whole continent must be united under one voice."

"It sounds more like a declaration of careerists and a reason for aggressors."

"We have a clear conscience."

Xiu Yi couldn't help shaking her head. Many aggressions are carried out in the name of righteousness, which is normal. What is abnormal is that even the aggressor himself will believe that he is just in the end, which seems a little funny.

The teachings of the Scourge Church are obviously good, but their aggressive methods seem a bit unpopular.

I heard that there are many factions in the Church of the Scourge. Some people think that the relationship with the Church of the Holy Spirit should be eased instead of being an enemy blindly. They are the moderates; some people think that they should kill from the southern continent, kill the Church of the Holy Spirit, and spread the teachings in the northern continent. This is the radical faction; some even propose to find a passage to the devil world and fight back into the devil world... Well, this is no longer radical, but should be called the crazy faction.

Such things as assassinating the Frank envoy and breaking the peace between the two countries are obviously the decisions of the radicals in the Scourge Church. Judging from Keith's righteous and decisive attitude towards the assassination and breaking the peace, there is no doubt that he is also a member of the radicals.

Thinking of this, Xiu Yi couldn't help but said: "Then you come here, besides looking for the picture of the sunset saint, I'm afraid there is another task, which is to assassinate Prince Frank?"

Keith was stunned. He didn't expect Xiu to analyze his purpose of coming here in just a few words. With a wry smile, he said, "Richard Kleiman is surrounded by strong stars guarding him. It is impossible for me to kill him. However, it may not be impossible to prevent them from forming a marriage by doing some damage. But your appearance has changed things. Compared with destroying the peace of the two countries on this continent, magic weapons are more important. Anyway, even if they complete this marriage, it does not mean that they will not fight in the future."

"Then I can help you to make this marriage fail."

The alliance between Huey and Richard Kleiman is extremely secret, and it is impossible for the Church of Scourge to obtain information. Under the current situation, the Franks are destined to give up Avril for the sake of Xiuyi. In this case, it is also good to use this opportunity to increase their bargaining chips.

"Even if you add this, the nightmare horse is too important."

"Then I will add one more condition. The nightmare horse belongs to me, and you can send someone to help me take care of it. When it comes to estrus, you provide the mare to mate with the nightmare horse, and the cubs belong to you. I only need to ride it to fight, and I don't need its offspring, at least not this kind of hybrid offspring."

"But what if it dies on the battlefield?"

"Without losing anything, you have gained a lot, but you don't even take any risks. Isn't it too unreasonable?"

Keith thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, I will pass on your proposal to the Council of Elders, and I believe they will give you an answer soon."

This time, the answer really came quickly.

The elder of the Scourge Church from the far southern continent personally got in touch with Xiu Yi.

It was an old man whose whole body was shrouded in thick black mist.

He was wearing a black robe, and his face was looming in the black mist. In the pervasive black mist, only a pair of shining eyes were as dazzling as the stars in the dark night.

What shocked Xiu Yi was that when Xiu Yi saw the other party's eyes, he actually felt a kind of horror and palpitation from the bottom of his heart.

You must know that this is a connection through the communication crystal. This old man is far away from him by many oceans, but he has a spiritual coercion on himself through a communication crystal.

That is something that even the strong stars cannot do.

A thought immediately appeared in Xiu Yi's mind - Sanctuary.

This was his first real contact with the sanctuary, and fortunately, it was not a hostile contact.

In the crystal ball, the old man in the black mist finally spoke: "Hello, young man from afar, I am the supreme leader of the Scourge Church, Elder Elder Isadore Naper. I am very happy to meet you. I already know that you have three artifacts. I must admit that you are the favorite of the gods."

"I thought that the Scourge Church didn't have any gods."

"Each church has its own gods to worship, but the gods of the Scourge Church are different from other churches. That is, our gods... really exist." Elder Elder Isadore Naper said these words slowly, which almost made Xiu jump up on the spot.
