Almighty Alchemist
Chapter Seven Li Wei
Lancelot stared blankly at Xiu Yi. After not seeing him for more than a year, this kid has obviously grown taller.
But the biggest change is not in Xiu Yi's height, but in his temperament. If Hugh Igleser at that time was just a small person whose life was threatened at any time, then Hugh Igleser now has a temperament and demeanor unique to a strong man.
There was a confident smile on his face, that expression of indifference, he was totally different from the Xiu Yi he had known before.
"I really didn't expect to meet you here." Huey said.
Lancelot smiled wryly: "The world is big, but it's also small...By the way, Xiuyi, how did you come to the southern continent?"
"I was about to ask you this question too? Why did you appear in Raven City? Maybe we should find a place to drink and have a good chat."
Just as Lancelot was about to speak, warriors crowded from all directions rushed towards Xiu, shouting, "It's him, grab that guy!"
"What's going on?" Lancelot asked suspiciously.
Xiu Yi shrugged: "Just one day after I came here, I became a wanted criminal."
Lancelot's eyeballs almost fell out: "It's really not smooth wherever you go."
"I was framed." Xiu Yi was also helpless. He looked at Lancelot with distressed eyes.
Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly. Seeing a large group of warriors rushing up, shouting to arrest Xiu, Lancelot suddenly roared: "Everyone, stop!"
This roar was like thunder exploding on the ground, and a large mass of dou qi burst out from Lancelot's body, shocking everyone.
"It's a warrior of the land!" Someone shouted.
Lancelot didn't show his full strength. In his opinion, to deter such a group of guards, showing some strength is enough. Among the people who were chasing Xiu Yi was a warrior of the sea, so it was enough for Lancelot to show the strength of a warrior of the land and just suppress him.
Sure enough, many guards took a few steps back in fright.
A samurai bravely stepped out and bowed to Lancelot: "Respected strongman, this young man violated the laws of the empire and carried out poaching in the Baoqin Plain. We are only enforcing the law impartially..."
Lancelot waved his hand impatiently: "That's your business, I'm not interested in it. I want to say a few words to this kid, you all get out of the way. If there is anything, I will talk to him later."
Then he pointed at Xiu Yi: "You, come with me."
It's been a long time since I haven't seen Lancelot, I can't imagine that he has such a domineering side now.
After leaving Purgatory Island, not only Xiu Yi, Lancelot also changed.
Now he is no longer as weak as Xiu Yi criticized him back then.
Shocked by Lancelot's aura, no one dared to stop Xiu Yi.
Xiu Yi followed him up to the second floor of the restaurant not far away. Below was a large group of warriors guarding the restaurant aggressively and waiting—there was nothing but momentum, no one really dared to go up and do anything.
———————————————
Dan Coates is the lord of Raven City.
Like most of the city lords, he comes from a noble family, he is gentle on the surface, but he is greedy and vicious in secret.
In fact, most of the nobles are like this, you rarely see them appearing on the street with a rascal face, although many times their actions are more shameless than rascals, but they are always good at justifying all shameless things.
For example, the slave trade of the Born family is a manifestation of local justice.
When Xiu Yi was making a fuss in the auction house during the day, he would not have thought that there was a city lord's shares in the auction house. Of course, considering the allure of the fragmented pages of Electra's notebook, I thought of what to do and how to do it. But for Dan Coates, it was tantamount to someone punching him hard in the face.
The punch in the face of the presenter was like hitting himself in the face, which made him extremely angry.
Add to that the poacher charge, and it was enough for Dan Coates to make any extreme reaction.
"What did you say?!" Dan Coates suddenly turned around, his eyebrows glaring.
"I found that kid named Hines, but he has a very powerful warrior protecting him."
"How powerful?" Dan Coates was angry, what kind of warrior dared to provoke him?
"Like a land warrior."
"An earth warrior wants to fight against the entire Raven City?" Dan Coates roared: "Call all the Laman brothers over and arrest him!"
After thinking about it, I felt that it was not enough, and added another sentence: "I will go too!"
Xiuyi and Lancelot were still drinking in the wine room. Xiuyi specially ordered a few dishes he liked for Lancelot. Lancelot didn't expect Xiuyi to know his own preferences. After tasting a few mouthfuls, he shook his head: "It's not as delicious as you."
Xiu Yi smiled: "If adults like it, I can make it for adults to eat in the future."
Lancelot froze for a moment when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he finally shook his head and said, "Hugh Igles, you little bastard, you are still the same as before. Every word you say and every thing you do has a special purpose."
Since leaving Purgatory Island, Lancelot has recalled more than once what Xiuyi has done. He was not an idiot in the first place, after knowing what Xiu Yi did, he immediately realized that Xiu Yi was secretly manipulating everything that happened before. It is always much easier to infer the cause from the result than to infer the result from the cause, and it is because of this that Xiu Yi actually started to use himself very early.
It's just that things have already happened, and the result doesn't seem too bad to him, and Xiuyi didn't hurt him, so he doesn't bother to care about getting angry, but he always feels a little useless. I also thought that if I saw Xiu Yi again, I would beat him severely, but when the sunny boy's face appeared in front of my eyes, I still couldn't bear the heart to strike.
However, because of this, he still maintained a vigilant attitude towards Xiu Yi.
Especially in the past year, Xiu Yi's reputation is not weaker than that of Lancelot. Who would have thought that the little boy on Purgatory Island would have gained such a reputation in just over a year. The entire Lance Empire was turned upside down by him.
He still doesn't know that Xiu Yi also escaped under the hands of Sanctuary, and he doesn't know that the Lance Empire has changed.
"I'm sorry for the deceit that happened, Lord Lancelot. Many things are like this. We have to make some choices against our will. For example, if you want to watch those things happen, but you can't stop them. For example, when I see such things, I can only resist with all my strength. This may have something to do with the environment we are in. I just hope you can understand."
"I can understand, there is no need to mention the past. Then Xiu Yi, why did you come to the Southern Continent?"
Huey smiled: "No one likes to live in a land full of enemies, right? Lord Lancelot."
This question made Lancelot slightly startled. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "It seems that you have found a new ally here."
"And what about you? Lord Lancelot, why are you here?"
Lancelot hesitated for a moment, and then let out a long breath: "Do you know what the sorrow of a samurai is?"
Xiu Yi was stunned, and Lancelot said: "We are desperately seeking a powerful power, but we will never be able to become the master of this power."
Huey understood.
In a feudal empire with a strict hierarchical system, the existence of warriors is destined to work for the noble class. It is a sad fact that although they possess great force, like a sharp knife, they are not the ones holding the handle.
Although they are powerful, they don't do production and don't know how to survive. No matter how powerful they are, they still have to rely on the noble class. Unless they live by burning, killing and looting all day long, they must choose to sell their own force. The difference between a high-level samurai and a low-level samurai is nothing more than the selling price.
In the history of human development in Fengming Continent, there have indeed been phenomena where strong people relied on force to do whatever they wanted, and the result was chaos and world disputes. A society without moral and legal constraints is like the most primitive jungle society, full of killings, blood and cruelty.
In such a society, even the strong themselves can hardly guarantee the safety of survival, let alone enjoy a good life.
Striving for peace in chaos is everyone's common ideal, so social systems began to emerge, laws began to emphasize equality, moral norms were gradually established, and a unique aristocratic order was formed in the course of thousands of years of development. The strong, the secular power, the church, and so on, all gradually grew stronger in this long-term running-in, and formed a mutual restrictive force.
Of course, there are some people who still yearn for absolute freedom. For example, the soul master Inigo Damon is the most obvious example, and even Buckler is the same. But in their quest for freedom, they paid a greater price. The result was that Inigo Daemon disappeared from the world, and Buckler returned to society as a nobleman.
Mutual concessions and mutual compromises are the tacit understanding gradually formed in the continuous conflict and dialogue between the strong and the society for thousands of years.
Lancelot said: "The Southern family tried to expand their business outside the Northern Continent a long time ago. They are very interested in the profitable business of selling resources between the two places, so they have always wanted to open a sea transportation line."
"Enough profit can make people ignore all dangers." Huey replied.
"That's true." Lancelot smiled bitterly: "After I returned to the family, the family's thoughts in this regard became actions."
"It is indeed a very good capital to be escorted by a star warrior. The Southern family should do this. So, this is why you are here?"
"My duty is to ensure that the business of the Nanfang family here will not be harassed by gangsters, and to ensure the normal progress of the business process."
call!
Xiu Yi let out a long breath.
It seems that although Lancelot is a little more domineering than before, he has not changed much fundamentally. He is still a person who is loyal to the law, to the norms, to the system, and to his family, and does not intend to gain too many privileges for himself.
He still believes that people need to achieve something through their own efforts, and dismisses the behavior of getting something for nothing.
Although he doesn't like it himself.
if it is like this……
Huey smiled.
He knew what he had to do.
Huey hadn't been this happy for a moment since Darth Vader hadn't been around.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden shout of people and horses downstairs from the restaurant.
A large number of troops came from afar, greatly increasing the strength to surround the restaurant.
Xiu Yi looked at the shouting soldiers downstairs, and sneered chillingly: "It seems that some people don't give up."
Lancelot was also a little angry.
Although high-level warriors still rely on selling force to make a living in essence, this does not mean that they can be arbitrarily ignored. Privileges are also the price to buy them. Someone who ignores the privileges of the strong is tantamount to stealing money from the strong, and the consequences are very serious.
Lancelot was about to make a move when Huey stopped him.
"Let me settle this," he said.
"You?" Lancelot was taken aback.
Huey had gone downstairs.
Hundreds of warriors surrounded him aggressively, all kinds of weapons aimed at Xiu Yi at the same time.
Xiu Yi still had a childlike smile on his face, and his eyes fell on the fat man in the middle who was riding a pack animal. Just by looking at his gorgeous clothes, one can determine the identity of this person.
"Master Dan Kautz?" Huey asked in a gentle tone.
"You are Heins Stricker?" Dan Coates' voice was angry.
"To be exact, my name is Hugh Igleser, this is my real name." Huey replied.
"It turned out to be a little guy who likes to use fake names, you shameless thief, you have violated the laws of the empire. Now, in the name of the lord of Raven City of the Sierra Empire, I declare that you have been arrested, and your accomplices will also be severely punished by the law!"
"Please wait a moment, Lord City Master, I think there is a misunderstanding in this matter." Xiu Yi said loudly: "I am not a poacher, this is completely framed by a villain. Someone has taken a fancy to my Feng Yu and wants to get something that does not belong to him."
"Wind Feather? You said you have Wind Feather?" Dan Kautz's eyes lit up.
"Yes, my lord." Huey replied calmly: "This is a complete set-up. Mr. Treman of the Gascon family can prove that I am not a poacher."
Lord Dan Coates touched his chin. He may be greedy, but he is not an idiot. The Gascon family is also well-known in Raven City. If he can prove the boy, then that guy named Clark may really be setting him up. He can even figure out why he did it.
Feng Yu is the top material in the eyes of alchemists.
Huey said: "I also apologize for the auction house, and I am willing to make compensation for it."
With that said, Xiu Yi took out a few bottles of medicine and put them on the ground. These medicines are all top-notch medicines, and they are worth a lot, which is enough to make up for the loss of the auction house.
But this also made the eyes of Santo Dan Kautz shine.
Obviously, this boy is quite rich, not only has Feng Yu, but also has some good potions. By the way, he's an alchemist, that's why he's interested in Electra's broken pages.
Maybe there are more good things about him.
Dan Kautz laughed: "You should leave these words in the prison to say. Come, arrest him, and confiscate all his things."
"I think, Lord City Master, you'd better decide your words and deeds carefully." Xiu Yi still smiled, seemingly not surprised by the result.
Dan Coates was angry: "This is Raven City, my city. No one in my city can make me be careful with my words and deeds! Arrest him for me!"
Xiu Yi gave the Lord City Lord a cold look.
it's time.
It's time to teach the city lord some lessons and let him know how terrible the consequences of greed are.
The soft chant sounded in everyone's ears, like the wind chant at midnight, it made a frightening sound.
The sand on the ground suddenly fluttered, and under the blowing of the wind, it formed a cloud of dust and filled the sky.
Countless air vortices appeared around, condensing the entire space under the wind force.
All the samurai lost their vision at the same time.
"It's a magician! That guy is a magician!"
Someone shouted sharply.
