Almighty Alchemist

Winnington, northern suburbs.

Arcane Tower.

Jerry stood respectfully in front of a man who looked like a wizard, wearing a black hood and a black robe, and his whole body was shrouded in a cloud of black smoke.

"So, Raschel found you and gave you a warning?" the wizard-like man asked in a low voice.

"Yes... yes, sir."

"You didn't tell him who we are, and how did you get in touch with us?"

"Absolutely not, sir."

"Very good." The man nodded: "Tell me about Violet."

"The relationship between Hugh Iglesel and this song and dance troupe is definitely not what the outside world rumored. The girls there are not afraid of him. On the contrary, they even long to see him. Of course, on the surface, they have made enough gestures. I have been trying to get a way to contact Hugh Igleser from the group leader Clarice, but after a few trials, I found that they may not be able to contact him actively. So we may have to use the method Raschel used to force him out."

"You are not yet qualified to make suggestions. As for how to deal with the next thing, we will naturally make a decision. You go back now and stay in the song and dance troupe. You don't have to do anything, just wait for our instructions."

"Yes, sir." Jerry lowered his head and retreated step by step.

Watching Jerry leave, the man slowly removed the hood, revealing an old bark-like face, but it was an old man. He took out a crystal ball from his arms, then murmured a long string of strange words. These words came out of his mouth, turned into physical words, one by one fell into the crystal ball with incomparable clarity, and disappeared in a flash.

He raised a finger, and a little light flew out from the fingertip and landed on a candle. The faint light of the fire reflected a glimmer of light in the originally dark room, dragging a long black shadow behind the old man.

"You are here, Kabuno." The old man said suddenly, in the room where he was the only one.

"At your call." Another voice echoed in the empty room. Surprisingly, the source of the sound came from the old man's shadow on the ground. The shadow seemed to be alive, twisted a few times, and unexpectedly broke away from the old man's body and stood up alone.

The shadow walked a few steps and came to the old man's side:

"Is something wrong? Your Excellency Cage, you actually asked for a committee to be convened immediately." Shadow asked, shaking his body.

"Let's talk about it when a few of them come."

"I'm already here." A black bird flew in from the window and spoke out.

"And me." The flame of the candle suddenly exploded, and a strange human face was formed in the fireworks. The flame monster looked around, then frowned in dissatisfaction: "Erwin is late again."

"Hey, don't speak ill of others behind their backs, Bode. I'm not like you, and speed is not my strong point." A golden beetle crawled out from the corner of the room, fluttered its wings, flew to the candlestick and landed.

The old man in the room raised his hand: "Enough, Erwin has just been promoted to a seventh-level mage, and his strength is still not comparable to yours. It is understandable that he is slower."

The shadow of nothingness, the strange face of the flame, the black bird and the golden beetle stopped making sounds at the same time.

"Then, Your Excellency Cage, is it about the boy that such an urgent committee meeting was called? If so, the matter of the Assassin League has been settled, although I don't think they can bring us any help." Shadow of the Void said.

"What we need is not help, but an organization or individual who can take responsibility for killing that boy." The old man said decisively, "Of course, it would be even better if they could provide us with some more information."

"I still insist on this issue, Mr. Cage, you are a little too worried. That boy doesn't have that much energy." The golden beetle replied with flapping its wings.

"I don't think Your Excellency Cage is over-concerned. The committee must stop Igleer. This young man will either die or never appear." The flame monster said: "That young man has inherited part of Electra's inheritance, which is very troublesome. He may not be able to change the situation now, but the future is uncertain."

"But it shouldn't be in such an extreme way, we are not butchers." The black bird jumped out of the window and said.

The shadow of nothingness immediately said: "That's why we gave him a warning in this way, but I doubt whether he can understand our meaning, or whether he will accept it after understanding.

"If you don't understand, kill it. Don't forget that we have personal grievances with Xiu Yiglaer." The flame face reminded everyone.

"I never thought that Mallet's death was a bad thing. This guy destroyed half of Royo City and brought injustice to the entire empire. His fiery temper doesn't look like a magician at all. He doesn't use his brain at all." The golden beetle said sarcastically, it seems that he and the flame face are very different.

"That's right, maybe you are the only one among us who should thank Hugh Iglesel, because if he hadn't killed Mallet, you wouldn't be eligible to enter the committee and become a member of it." The flame monster sneered.

The golden beetle jumped up angrily: "Do you want to insult me, Bode? If that's the case, you succeeded. You have successfully angered me and provoked my anger."

The old man suddenly turned around: "That's enough, gentlemen, you are already old, stop making noise like two angry children!"

The golden beetle and the flame face were silent again.

The shadow of nothingness coughed softly, and then said: "I don't think we need to discuss the decision we have already made. Hugh Igles will either be silent forever or die. This is not a personal grievance and has nothing to do with Mallet's death. Armitage is right. We are not butchers, but we will kill people when necessary. We will kill many people. The dignity of a magician cannot be desecrated, and the status of the Arcane Tower cannot be shaken. The meaning of the committee is also the common meaning of the entire northern continent, and even the magicians in all the arcane towers in the three continents."

"That's right, Kabuno." The old man nodded with satisfaction: "I just received the news this morning, Frank Empire, my old friend, he hopes that I can do him a favor."

"Is it Bernardine's old man?" asked the black bird.

"That's him. Guess what he wants me to do for him?"

"Find Hugh Iglesel?"

The old man laughed: "It's killing, not finding. Please pay attention to this difference. We don't need that boy to serve us, we don't need his knowledge, we don't need his technology, and we don't need him to change anything here. As Kabuno said, this is the common wish of all magicians, and there are no national boundaries... Magic has no borders!"

"So on this issue, there is no need for further discussion."

The old man looked at the golden beetle, and the other party had obviously acquiesced to this fact.

So he spoke again: "Then next, we have to see who is our suitable action agent. What do you think of Raschel? This will be the main discussion of tonight's meeting."

"That little detective?" The black bird shook his head: "It's a little clever, Your Excellency Cage, why did you think of him?"

"He already knows that Jerry has a new master. Although Jerry didn't tell him who got involved, with his wisdom, he can easily guess who else in this country is qualified to ignore the emperor's order to do such a thing."

"Raschel is indeed a talent, but he lacks sufficient action."

"But it is undeniable that he is a talent. If the song and dance troupe can't help us find Hugh Igleser, and Hugh Igleser refuses to heed our warnings, then Raschel is still the best person to help us find Hugh Igleser."

"But he won't accept our assignment, he has given up taking any action against Hugh Iglesel."

In the room, everyone was arguing with each other.

The old man lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "I think we can solve this problem."

"How to deal with it?"

"Padgett, that land warrior. As long as he is dead and Raschel thinks he is related to Hugh Igleser, he will try to find Hugh Igleser at all costs."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I...agree." The golden beetle hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

"Then what then? Let's make a move?" Void Shadow asked.

"No, we won't make a move. On this issue, I personally tend to stay on the sidelines." The old man replied: "Raschel is responsible for finding Xiu Yiglaer. As for making a move...another person."

"who?"

"Church." The old man replied.

"church?"

The room was buzzing again.

"How could the church make a move?"

"Hugh Igles may be valuable to anyone, but it is meaningless to the church alone. It is impossible for the church to use golems to fight. They only need the Holy Knights, and they don't need any other combat power."

"Although the Lance Empire has been working hard to cover up the fact that Xiu Yiglaer is a soul mage, the church is not deaf and blind after all. They will not be so incompetent. But they have not taken any action so far. This is enough to explain the problem, they are not interested in Xiu Yiglaer."

The old man waved his hand: "That was the past, not the present. I just got the news that a group of holy knights came out of the Grubbis Mountains. The leader was Hamilton. There were about a hundred people and they came straight to Wenlington. In name...to celebrate the emperor's birthday."

"Hamilton? You even sent this lunatic here?" The golden beetle jumped a few times on the stage, showing its shock.

The old man said coldly: "You know that if it's a birthday celebration, then the person who came here should never be Hamilton. The only purpose of this guy's existence in the world is to eliminate dissidents for the church. I'm sure they came here for Hugh Igleser. As for why there is such a change in attitude, I think it's understandable. The church doesn't care about alchemy, but the impact it has. In this point, they are the same as us. And Hugh Igles... He has indeed shown the influence he shouldn't have. "

———————————————

Lilegula mountain jungle.

Xiu Yi lay lazily on the ground, feeling the breath of the wind, and adjusting the movement of fighting energy in her body.

During this period of practice, he has made great progress. Although he has not yet broken through to the sixth level, he can faintly touch the threshold of the sixth level.

The road to promotion, the more difficult it is to go to the higher places. Being able to enter the bottleneck period in such a short period of time is already very fast. For Xiu Yi, the only thing he needs to do to break through to the sixth level is the final touch.

At this moment, the communication crystal in his arms vibrated.

Huey knew it was Buckler without looking.

Sure enough, the burly man faced Xiu Yi with a serious face: "A good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Let's hear the bad news first."

"Your little lovers are here."

"My little lovers?" Xiu Yi didn't respond for a while.

"The Violet Song and Dance Troupe, they're in Winnington."

"Oh Brian, you bastard, who told you it was from my little lovers?"

"Don't try to deny it. According to known information, there are at least three women there who have had sex with you. Lilith is very dissatisfied with this. She thinks you are messing around. So she decided to give you some color when you come back."

"I'm still young and full of energy." Huey shrugged.

"It may be more appropriate to change energy into another word." Buckler laughed strangely.

"You're such an old rascal, Brian." Xiuyi smiled helplessly, "Lilith's anger... Well, it's indeed bad news, but I can solve it, so what about the good news?"

"We investigated the Golden Dragon Club, but we didn't find any information about the person who offered a reward to assassinate you. Instead, we accidentally found a clue in the Violet Song and Dance Troupe?"

"What clue?"

"Raschel went to find that kid named Jerry. My buddy didn't dare to get too close and didn't use the scout bees, so I couldn't hear what they said, but it seemed to be a quarrel. My buddy vaguely heard that Raschel asked the guy to give up something, but he refused, and then the kid ran away. My people didn't dare to catch up."

"Understood, it seems that Jerry has found a new master to take refuge in. Do you think this will be related to the person who offered a reward for my life?"

"It's very possible. Having said that, this time the reward, I personally feel that the warning means more."

"I thought so too, the question is what are they warning about?"

"That's not something I can guess, but they might think you can. Apart from the Lance Empire, I have no personal grievances."

"That's the crux of the matter. There must be something that connects you, but you haven't noticed it yet. Think about it, and maybe you will find out."

"Could it be the church?"

"It's possible, but the way they do things doesn't look like their style. But when it comes to the church, why don't you consult your new allies? They should know more about the Church of the Holy Spirit."

"My new ally?" Xiu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Buckler was referring to the Scourge Church.

That's right, the enemy is often the person who knows you best. Is it possible that the Church of the Holy Spirit is behind the scenes? Just ask the members of the Church of Scourge.

He quickly connected with Isadore Napper, the patriarch of the Scourge Church, and told him what he had encountered during this period.

Isadore Naper replied very positively: "It is absolutely impossible for the Church of the Holy Spirit to do it. Anything they want to do, kill anyone, will be done directly in the name of the gods. This method of entrusting the assassination will never be something they can do. In addition, this matter seems to be just like what you said. The meaning of the warning is greater than the substance. I think the other party obviously wants to convey a message to you, but due to the lack of communication channels, they can only use this method to inform you of something."

"What kind of message?"

"Threat, as you guessed earlier, that they don't want you to come out in public."

"Why? Who will be hurt by my public appearance?"

Isado Naper bowed his head and thought for a while: "This is hard to say. If you want to know the answer, you have to look at what you have."

"Alchemy." Xiu Yi replied immediately: "It can only be related to alchemy."

Yes, only related to alchemy. The power of warriors and magicians only represents individuals, and only alchemy is a power that can transfer combat power and influence the world.

If someone doesn't want Xiu Yi to appear in public, and has scruples about some aspects of Xiu Yi, it will not be his magic, it will not be his fighting spirit, but only his alchemy.

The problem is that everyone only wants to get Xiu Yi's alchemy, so they will never do anything to force Xiu Yi to hide his face. The Lance Empire wanted to catch him, and the Frank Empire wanted to find him, all to get benefits from him. Everyone is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a bi, but this bi should be fought for by everyone instead of destroyed.

Why would anyone long for him not to show his face? Does that mean that the emergence of a certain kind of alchemy will affect a certain person or a certain force? Even if they got it themselves, it wouldn't do much good, so it would be better to destroy it?

What kind of alchemy? Who will it affect?

Xiu Yi thought for a long time but didn't think of it.

Seeing Xiuyi pondering over there, Isadore Naper slowly said: "Maybe I can give you a reminder, Xiu Yiglaer. In fact, when I first met you, I always wanted to ask you a question, but I thought it might be your biggest secret, and I didn't want you to be misunderstood, so I didn't open it. But now it seems that this secret may no longer be a secret, and he may be related to the person who offered a reward to hunt you down."

"What's the problem? Master Isado."

"I know that you have excellent alchemy, which certainly benefited from your learning experience on Purgatory Island, but have you also received part of the knowledge inheritance left by Electra?"

"Yes." Xiu Yi did not deny this.

"Sure enough." Isadore Naper's expression became serious: "Then, have you learned about the production method of the magic pattern recorded by Electra?"

Magic pattern?

Xiu Yi was slightly taken aback, a vague concept came to mind.

This concept kept spinning in his mind, expanding like a vortex, encompassing all the things that Xiuyi had experienced this year.

He desperately recalls, reflects, and thinks about the miles he has traveled all the way, what he has experienced, what he has seen, every bit of this world, every bit of his knowledge, and even back to his own work on Purgatory Island.

The train of thought gradually became clear.

He shouted: "I see, I know who is trying to deal with me!"
