Almighty Alchemist

All the people retreated.

Only the mysterious goddess, Isado, and Xiu Yi remained in the hall.

Isado stood aside respectfully, without saying a word.

As for the goddess, she looked at Xiu Yi seriously.

Her star-like eyes stared at Xiu Yi's face for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

His fingers brushed across Xiuyi's face, and the cold pierced his skin.

This woman is simply a piece of ice for thousands of years.

"You... finally here," she said.

The cold tone seemed to have no trace of human breath.

Xiu Yi looked at the woman in front of her in some confusion.

For some reason, he always felt as if he had seen this woman somewhere.

At this moment, the woman's words made his heart beat violently.

He knelt down on one knee: "Hui Igleer has seen His Majesty Hades."

The goddess turned her head slightly: "Hugh Igles? Is this your name? I guess you never thought that the god of the Scourge Church would be a woman."

"That's true, but it's not too surprising."

"Why?"

"Because to the gods, gender is simply a choice. You can be anyone if you want."

Appreciative light appeared in the eyes of the goddess, and she walked barefoot on the ground.

Xiu Yi was shocked to find that every time she took a step, the floor tiles made of limestone rippled layer by layer like the surface of water.

She only stepped on the ground with her fingertips, but she didn't catch a trace of the world.

He stopped in front of Xiu Yi, and Xiu Yi saw a pair of snow-white jade feet in front of his eyes. The Goddess looked at Xiu Yi and said, "Get up and talk to me standing up, so I can see you more clearly."

Her voice was turning from cold to soft and soothing.

From the previous cold attitude, it gradually turned into a humane attitude.

Huey stood up.

The goddess looked at Xiu Yi, then turned and walked towards the coffin of immortality.

She sat on the coffin of immortality, turned around and looked at Xiu Yi:

"It can be seen that there are many stories about you, and there are some puzzles in your heart that need to be answered. You must feel strange about my existence and confused about some things that happened. Maybe you need to get answers from me. But unfortunately, I am not the god you met before. I am not omniscient like it. I may be able to give you some answers, but only maybe."

"I don't understand, Your Majesty the Underworld God."

"I'm not a ghost, I'm not even a god." The woman sitting in the coffin of immortality said suddenly.

Interestingly, Huey was not surprised by this, and even Isardo was equally unmoved.

It seems that he knew all this earlier, Xiu Yi cursed inwardly, this standard old magic stick, he is very good at pretending to be gods and tricks, he knows everything about every god, and every god knows everything.

But he still faced the woman and said, "Since this is the case, how should I address you?"

The woman raised her neck slightly, stroked the air with her fingers, and made a graceful combing movement: "Ah! When it comes to this question, it's a bit difficult to answer. Because honestly, I don't know who I should think of myself. This body has had more than one guest, and every guest has brought considerable trouble to this body. This body is like a room. The guests always live in it in turn, but they never ask the owner's consent. Even now... there is an annoying guest who stays here for a long time and refuses to leave. It's really annoying."

Xiu Yi was dumbfounded when she heard that, the next moment, the tone of this beautiful woman suddenly changed, like a smiling face turned into a crying face, her expression changed so much, even her temperament changed suddenly.

The woman's expression became helpless, and her voice became more humane: "Don't say that, Galadia, do you think I am willing to stay in your body? Isn't all the hard work I have done these years just for the moment of our separation? See, the person we are waiting for has come, and I said that my plan will succeed."

Then Galadia's expression changed again, and she became the cold and charming woman before again: "Without my permission, don't use my body to speak anymore. Even if you don't move your mouth, I can still hear what you are saying."

Huey was stunned, he looked at Isado, who shrugged helplessly.

It was obvious that he was used to it.

The next moment, Galadia looked at Xiu Yi again: "I think you have understood something, right?"

"Just a little bit."

"Well then, maybe we should say this." Galadia stood up. She took a few steps on the spot and thought for a while before saying, "I know you have many questions to ask me, and I also have many questions to ask you. Why don't we start by getting to know each other first. For example, if you want to know who I am, then you have to tell me who you are first?"

"My name is Hugh Igles, I'm from the Northern Continent, and I'm an alchemist."

Galadia was not satisfied: "Oh no, this answer is not enough. You must know that the name is just a title, the identity is just a meaningless noun, and even the body is just an appearance. What I am asking is your essence. So what is the essence of life?"

She lowered her body and leaned towards Xiu Yi, revealing a large mass of white snow on her neck, and whispered softly: "It's the soul, that's the essence of life. Answer me, who are you?"

Huey's heart beat wildly.

Galadia's eyes seemed to be able to see through his soul and see through his essence.

However, Xiu Yi replied quickly: "I don't understand what you are talking about, Lord Galadia, if you can see through my soul, then you can find the answer yourself."

Galadia laughed loudly: "You are too dishonest, Hugh Igleser. Maybe you thought you could hide it from me, but I discovered a small thing on you. It is its existence that completely exposed your identity... I knew it the first day you came to the church."

a small thing? Huey is confused.

Galadia pointed at Xiu Yi with her hand, and a little brilliance emerged from Xiu Yi's arms.

It was the pure energy body floating in mid-air.

Galadia's eyes showed anticipation: "What a pure little thing, it is so charming and cute... But under that charming and cute appearance, there is a huge terrifying energy hidden... You must be very careful when using it, if you make it feel uncomfortable, it will bite you back."

Huey was taken aback: "How do you know what it is? How do you control it?"

"Know?" Galadia had a sneering smile on her face: "It's not just knowing? It was created by me."

Like a thunderbolt, it hit Xiu Yi heavily on the head.

Galadia laughed loudly, and she shouted, "I think you've already guessed the answer, right? That's right, another guest in this body, his name is Electra!"

She raised her hands high, and a bolt of lightning rumbled from the hall.

—————————————

Time flies, and a month has passed.

Simone has gradually become familiar with the situation here.

But with this familiarity, Simone became more and more disappointed in her environment.

The people here are not easy to get along with.

You are at the top of the mainland's power hierarchy, and there are too many people staring at you every day.

But Simone didn't care about that.

She just wanted to go back to her body, back to her brother Shitou's side, and back to grandpa's arms.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find the slightest way.

The transfer of the soul is a very wonderful thing, and Simone knows nothing about the power of magic, let alone transcending the limitations of time and space.

This made her very sad every day, not knowing what to do.

When she has nothing to do, she spends her spare time planting some flowers and plants and raising some cute animals that she has never seen before. She waters those flowers carefully, feeds those little pets seriously, talks to them, and tells them what is on her mind.

Once, a blue-eyed winged rabbit died suddenly, and Simone was very sad. Wept for a long time at the corpse, and finally dug a pit for it with a small hoe to bury it.

Another time, an unknown bird broke its wings and landed in front of Simone.

Simone took the little bird home and took good care of it until its wings were healed and it could fly again. The hateful thing is that the little bird didn't understand kindness, and even scratched her face when she was leaving, leaving a bloodstain, which attracted the ridicule of countless saintesses, but Simone didn't care about it.

A month passed quickly, and everyone gradually realized that their laurel saint, Galadia, seemed to be a different person. She becomes tender, kind, compassionate, and heartless.

At first people thought it was her disguise, so they were always careful, but gradually, they found that it didn't seem to be a disguise, and Galadia had indeed changed.

As a result, some people with ulterior motives began to stir up.

In fact, since the sword-giving ceremony, too many people have been waiting to see her jokes, waiting to see her bad luck.

But since they couldn't wait, some people began to try to create new opportunities by themselves.

Especially in the current situation that Galadia is almost a saint with no fighting power.

So she started to be unlucky, either she made this mistake today, or she made that mistake tomorrow.

Severe reprimands followed one after another, making Simone aggrieved but helpless.

Based on her experience as an ordinary fisherman, she has no resistance to such weird tricks.

It happened again today.

"Ah!" A saint screamed loudly.

Others rushed to ask, "What happened?"

A saintess pointed at Simone's nose and yelled: "It's her, it's her, who broke the spirit incense for worshiping the gods!"

Everyone looked at Simone together, and Simone was a little at a loss.

Just now the saint asked her to come over to help light the incense, and Simone didn't think much about it, so she came over to help hold the incense. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lingxiang got it, it was broken in two.

Now the saint accused her of breaking the incense, and Simone couldn't argue with it.

Of course, she also guessed that the fragrance was most likely caused by the saint who wanted to harm herself.

It's just that she really doesn't understand why all the saintesses target her?

At this moment, a heavy male voice suddenly sounded outside the sacrificial hall: "Break it, God, is magnanimous. As long as the heart is pious, then you can get God's forgiveness."

Upon hearing this voice, all the saintesses knelt outside the hall at the same time: "Master Great Conqueror!"

Standing at the door was the young warrior in iron armor.

At his waist, he wore the great sword of light.

The saint who accused Simone before boldly said: "But my lord conqueror, the saint laurel has made many mistakes in the past month. She actually accepted the worship of the people with you during the sword-giving ceremony. This should be a capital crime. A few days ago, she also broke the magic bottle, knocked down the king's three-pronged sword, and trampled on the flower of gestation..."

"I know, I know." Bathgate walked into the hall step by step, with clanging metal sounds.

His eyes stayed on Simone for a while, and then he said casually: "During this period, the Saintess Laureate has indeed made many mistakes, and she is not like she used to be at all. But what does it matter? The magic bottle is broken, and it can be rebuilt. If the king's trident falls down, then help it up again. As for the flower of gestation, if it is trampled, it will naturally grow again."

"But……"

A gleam of light was already in Bathgate's eyes: "Are you questioning my words? Or can't wait to covet the position of the Laureate Saintess? The Saintess of Thorns?"

"Don't dare!" The saint quickly lowered her head.

Bathgate waved to Simone: "Saint Laureate, come with me."

"Yes!" Simone stood up tremblingly.

Even if she couldn't see it, she could feel the jealous rage that all the saints left behind her.

Walking out of the main hall, Bathgate leisurely walked on the long stone path. When all the people saw Bathgate, they would respect Shi Li and shout: "Your Excellency the Conqueror."

"You have changed, Galadia," said Bathgate suddenly.

Simone, who followed Bathgate step by step, was taken aback: "My lord conqueror!"

Bathgate waved his hand: "In my impression, you are a very smart woman. You are beautiful and scheming. The way you poisoned the previous Saint Laureate to get the position of Laureate Laureate back then was quite vicious. But looking at you now, you seem to be a little sheep who is bullied by others."

In the depths of the soul, a woman's voice shouted loudly: "Damn, how would he know? Don't admit it, he is testing you!"

Simone stared blankly at Bathgate: "Really? Then how do you know?"

"So you don't deny it?" Bathgate was a little surprised.

Simone thought for a while, and then replied: "Although I am very useless, if Lord Bathgate is so easy to deceive, then you are not the great conqueror."

Bathgate smiled: "Then what made you like this? You clearly knew that the Maiden of Thorns framed you, why didn't you defend yourself?"

Simone lowered her head: "I just hate that, I don't mind being revoked the title of Saint Laureate at all. I heard... It was your protection that kept me from being punished for my mistakes in the ceremony."

"So you don't want to be the Laureate?" Bathgate was even more surprised.

"Yes." Simone replied.

Bathgate looked at Simone with some doubts: "I can't see through you more and more, Galadia. Do you remember when you were a child? You were so kind, innocent, and beautiful. I used to admire you so much and love you, but what I saw was a Galadia that disappointed me. You are lost in the vortex of power struggles, lost in the thrill of conspiracy and tricks, and like most of the power holders in this temple, you are despicable, shameless, dirty, and indecent..."

Simone looked at Bathgate in horror. She never expected him to say such a thing.

This is an accusation against the entire temple high-level. Even if he is the conqueror of the sinful land, the owner of the great light sword, and the king of the sanctuary, he cannot criticize the temple so unscrupulously.

"Strange?" Bathgate smiled: "Actually, it's not necessary. I understand many things, but I just don't want to pay attention to them. For me, instead of floating in the abyss of power, it's better to believe in God wholeheartedly. I believe that if God knows that His believers have become so evil, God will be angry. Of course, you have changed now. You have become gentle, kind, and considerate. In my opinion, the current Galadia is the Galadia I always admired when I was a child. So I don't care Why did you become like this, I only hope that you can stay like this forever. That is the reason why I can continue to fight for this great temple."

Simone was dumbfounded.

Just as she was about to say something, the fiery red door above the tall altar in the distance suddenly burst into light.

Four red figures rushed out of the fiery red gate of time and space and came to the top of the temple.

Those were four mages and warriors who were in rags but exuded a powerful aura.

Their eyes glowed fiercely red, and they looked down at the temple in the air.

"It's back! It's our advance team back!" Someone yelled loudly.

Then, there was a mournful long hiss.

The four returnees slashed at the temple immediately.
