Almighty Alchemist

"Starting from today, I will conduct extreme training for a period of time. During this time, Brian and Huo Ding will be in charge of family affairs, and Christine will assist in handling the matter. Lilith, Eagle and Nancy will handle the matter of the alchemy factory. You just need to do things well according to the method I left behind."

After finishing his call with Isadore Naper, Huey quickly made an important decision.

He wants to rapidly improve his strength in the shortest possible time.

"When are you going to practice?"

"Seventh level, or at least become a sixth-level warrior first, and then touch the high-level threshold." Xiu Yi replied.

"That's not something that can be achieved with short-term extreme training. Above level five, the difficulty will increase exponentially with each level up. There are not no warriors who have worked hard, but usually they are at their peak when they reach level six. Advanced warriors can't succeed just by practicing hard." Buckler said.

"What else do you need?"

"Understanding of vindictiveness."

"I already have an understanding of fighting qi, and I can even use combat skills now."

Xiu Yi's understanding of vindictiveness is indeed very strong. The most difficult bottleneck for others is not a problem for him. The only thing he needs now is to increase the power of battle qi through hard training and lay a solid enough foundation.

The reason why he chose to practice fighting qi was also considered from a holistic perspective. Unlike mages, warriors have better environmental adaptability and combat survivability. Although they can't achieve various effects through spells like magicians, their powerful body strength can sometimes ignore everything.

After the level of the magician is improved, it is just to master some more powerful spells, and the promotion of the samurai increases the strength, reaction speed, agility and flexibility of the whole person. From this point of view, what warriors improve is their body quality, and what magicians improve is nothing more than magic power and the way to use magic power.

For Xiu Yi, the fourth-level spells of the wind system are enough to use. On the contrary, they are at the level of a fifth-level warrior. In the Lance Empire, they can't even reach the threshold of a high-level warrior. In the words of the upper echelons of the Lance Empire, only those above the seventh level are real warriors, and those below the seventh level can only be warriors and cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Since you want to improve your strength, you can't leave yourself a shortcoming. Since Xiu Yi is a dual-cultivator of magic and martial arts, it is the most appropriate way to focus on fighting spirit and supplemented by magic.

Buckler also laughed: "That's right, you are a genius, Xiu Yi. So, where are you going to practice?"

"How about the land of divine grace in Mount Lilgula? I heard that there are many powerful monsters there. Maybe there can be a good exercise for me."

Hearing the name Land of Grace, Buckler's face became a little ugly: "This idea is very dangerous, Huey, not just anyone can go there."

"Adversity makes us grow, danger makes us strong, and crisis makes us comprehend. Brian, if you want to become a strong man, you must have the heart to face danger. Otherwise, you will never become a real strong man just by increasing your strength."

"...You are right, Xiu Yi, you do look more and more like a warrior now."

"I like the mystery and wonder of magic, but I also appreciate the strength and bravery of warriors. I am a greedy person, and I want both."

"Then...good luck."

North suburb of Winnington, Vanilla Street, Golden Dragon Clubhouse.

This is one of the most luxurious clubhouses in Winnington.

The clubhouse is the favorite place for the aristocrats to go to for their daily enjoyment. It provides various services for guests, including food, wine, women and gambling services.

In the Reims Empire, most of the high-end brothels and casinos existed in the form of clubs, serving the upper class exclusively. Including the Lampa club that Xiu Yi had been to, it also provides similar services.

However, the Golden Dragon clubhouse is slightly different from other clubhouses...

Katarina West was sitting at her desk, looking at the ledger with a serious face, and there was a row of more than a dozen subordinates standing below, everyone trembling in shock.

"The business volume has dropped by 20%, and the book has suffered a serious loss. That bastard Ravi even took away three thousand gold vits from me and ran away. Damn, you idiots, trash. Did I raise you just to let you eat me like moths?"

No one dared to interface.

Everyone knows that the boss is not terrible when he loses his temper, but if the boss does not lose his temper when he loses his temper, then there is a serious problem.

That means there's a good chance someone here will never see the sun again.

But today, the situation is a little special.

Before Katarina West's anger could fully erupt, there was a knock on the door.

Then before Katarina let him in, the door opened.

A handsome young man stood at the door: "Boss, I have a guest who wants to see you."

Katarina frowned: "Lille, you shouldn't disturb me at this time."

The young man named Lille didn't seem afraid of Katarina, he shrugged: "The guest who can make up for your loss, if you don't want to see, I'll tell him to go."

"Wait," Katarina said immediately, and she yelled at her subordinates: "Get out of here, you bastards!"

All the subordinates left in a hurry as if they were pardoned.

"Okay, Lille, bring the guest in, and hope he can bring a good business."

Guests come in quickly.

It was a man in a black robe, with a black hood covering his head so that his face could not be seen clearly.

Even when she came to Katarina's office, the other party was not willing to take off the hood, but just nodded slightly to Katarina: "Hello, beautiful Mrs. Sweet. The reason why I came here is because I heard that the Golden Dragon Club can provide some services that are not available outside."

"It is our consistent aim to provide all-round services for distinguished guests and meet their various needs." Catalina responded with a professional smile: "Here you can get the best wine and beauties."

The guest laughed softly: "If it was for wine and women, I wouldn't have come here, Mrs. Sweet, how about we get straight to the point? I have a commission that I need you to help me complete."

"What commission?"

"kill."

Katarina leaned back on the chair, made a relaxed and soothing posture, and then said: "I don't know where you heard the news. But the Golden Dragon Club does not provide such services, which violates the national law."

"Oh, really?" The guest raised his head slightly, and a ray of light shot out from under the black hood: "Katarina West, was once a member of the ancient West family, with noble blood on her body. At the age of twelve, the family collapsed, and you were sold to a brothel. After two years of training, you became the most popular woman there. Your first murder was when you were fourteen years old. You stabbed the man who bought your virginity with a fruit knife in the throat. After that, you disappeared for ten years. Finally, you came to Warrington, with a lot of money in your pocket, and established the Golden Dragon Clubhouse, which lasted eight years. On the surface, the Golden Dragon Clubhouse is no different from ordinary clubhouses, but in fact, you are the head of the branch office of the Assassin Alliance in Warrington, Lance Empire. You have contacts with most of the outstanding assassins, accepting commissions, sending commissions, collecting commissions through intermediaries and selling various information are the most important sources of income for your organization. Compared with this underground business, the business of the Golden Dragon Club is simply nothing Even though you are beautiful and make every man want to have sex with you when they see you, few people know that you are an excellent killer. What you like to do most is to seduce a man into your bed, and then kill him when he climaxes. There are forty-two girls in your Golden Dragon clubhouse, half of them are assassins, and all of them have been trained by you. You are a person who believes in and worships money very much. That’s right, for a woman like you, there is nothing else she can pursue except money. Now, I'm the one who gives you money."

Katarina West's complexion became a little ugly.

She ordered herself a cigar-like gadget that was specially shipped from the Southern Continent. It was a kind of refined plant leaf that gave off a pleasant aroma when burned. Putting it in her mouth, she folded her arms and looked at the guest coldly: "You are lucky. If it was before, if a guest exposed me like this, I would tear him to pieces without hesitation. Now that you know my situation, you should know my temper. If you are here to find girls to drink, then I will greet you with a smile. But if you are here to place a commission, then you should learn to obey the rules. Not every industry depends on the face of the customer."

"Of course, every line has its own rules." The guest nodded.

"Rule 1: Don't attack high-ranking nobles of any country. We don't accept tasks that will cause us trouble. Rule 2: The Assassin Alliance organization is only in charge of intermediaries, not taking action. Rule 3: Pay the fee first, without a paper agreement, and do things based on credibility. Rule 4: Don't deal with the peak power..."

"Enough." The guest stopped: "Treasure the time, I know all your rules, some rules are not static, for example, if you don't deal with the peak powerhouse, it's better not to deal with it if you don't have enough money."

"So... who is the target?" Since the other party has figured out his own identity and origin, he naturally understands the rules and tricks inside. Catalina was not surprised.

"Hugh Iglesel."

Katarina sat up from her seat in a hurry, staring at the other party with a pair of beautiful eyes: "Hugh Iglare? Are you joking?"

"He is not a high-ranking nobleman of the empire, nor is he a peak powerhouse, and he conforms to your rules in all aspects."

"But that guy is not easy to deal with!" Katarina West said viciously: "Even the Lance Empire failed to do anything to him! He is not someone who will give you his right cheek if you slap him on the left cheek. If the legend is true, then if you mess with him, he will pay you back ten times."

"That's not something you need to worry about, right? Don't forget that you are just an intermediary." The guest replied softly: "Let go of the entrustment, and those assassins will make their own choices. I will pay 20,000 Gold Witts to buy Iglesel's life, and the rest depends on God's will."

Katarina West thought for a while, and finally nodded: "No problem, but according to the rules, if the task is not completed and you want to cancel the commission, we will deduct the 10% commission from your money."

"no problem."

"Identity, name, contact information."

"The identity of the client is kept secret, and the contact information...as long as the task is completed, I will know."

The black-robed guest left, and Katarina West looked at his back with suspicion in her eyes.

Snow-white fingers tapped the table rhythmically, she thought for a while before saying, "This is very strange."

"Yes ma'am." That handsome young man suddenly appeared beside Katarina West.

Generally speaking, there are usually two reasons for the client to issue an assassination mission. One: absolute hatred. Two: Absolute benefits.

To be honest, a target like Xiu Yiglaer does not have the value of commissioning an assassination. He has no personal hatred, and there is no reason to kill him because of hatred. The Lance Empire has a reason to do so, but it is absolutely impossible and unreasonable for them to commission an assassination. The empire itself has a large number of strong enough to do all this.

As for interests, the client did not raise any interest needs, and did not even ask for something from the target, so this is obviously not an entrustment due to interest needs.

So what is the purpose of the other party?

After thinking for a while, she couldn't figure it out, so Katarina could only give up guessing. There are all sorts of strange guests who come here to make commissions. The Assassin Alliance is only responsible for intermediaries and not for other things.

She quickly handed over the letter of entrustment to Lille: "Release the entrustment, A-level task, and complete it within no time limit."

Then she curled her lips: "20,000 Gold Witts, many people will be crazy about it, the guests are really generous."

As long as a business like this is accepted, the Assassin League will get 2,000 Gold Witts into the account. If the assassin completes the task, the Assassin Alliance will deduct 10% of the commission from the task completer, if not, it will be deducted directly from the client. No matter what, the League of Assassins will not trade at a loss. And for a business like this, just one order a month is worth two months' income of the Golden Dragon Clubhouse.

Of course, big deals like this are rare, and more often they are ordinary small deals. Such deals are handled by Catalina's assistant, Lille.

Walking out of Katarina's office, Lear came to the messaging room. In the past, the Alliance of Assassins used more human hands to transmit messages, but since Hugh Igleser invented ultra-distance communication, this technology has gradually been widely used, and some powerful organizations have also purchased this communication crystal ball, including the Church of Scourge and the Alliance of Assassins.

The League of Assassins improved this communication crystal ball to form a complete mission release system. As long as you put the news on it, there will be news from other branches everywhere. Any killer assassin registered in the League of Assassins can accept tasks in a branch and send back a message after completing the task.

Since the business is received by the Golden Dragon Club, the person who confirms the completion of the task and the person who issues the commission will be the responsibility of the Golden Dragon Club.

After entering all the information, Lear walked out of the information room, and a clerk came to meet him.

"Sir, just now someone offered 3,000 Gold Wittes to buy the life of a noble young master. This is a power of attorney."

"Oh? What day is it today? Business is coming one after another." After receiving the power of attorney, Lear took a closer look.

"Assassination mission, target: Sisser Dardanelle, the heir of the Dardanelle family, the identity of the client is kept secret..."
