Almighty Alchemist

The wind in the jungle blew past, bringing chills all over the sky.

The small jungle was full of people who arrived later.

Hines looked at Pierre's body with a gloomy expression, and said after a while, "Klos, you shouldn't have killed him."

Cross smiled bitterly: "I didn't intend to kill him. In fact, I just used the most common impact technique, but I didn't expect..."

"The alchemist has been in the laboratory for a long time, working with various materials such as poison, and his body is extremely vulnerable to corrosion. It seems that you have ignored this."

Cross opened his mouth to say that he didn't ignore this, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Avril, who had just finished crying, yelled angrily: "Hynes, are you finally willing to come out to see me? You still think that Cross shouldn't kill Pierre? That's right, I think so too, because he deserves to die ten thousand times!"

"He actually tried to rape the imperial princess!" Avril was almost hysterical.

In the days when Gong Hao was with her, she was very gentle most of the time, but now that Gong Hao was seriously injured because of her, and she herself was almost raped, her heart ached, but it was the first time that she said that she wanted to kill someone.

Hines' face was a little ugly.

Is he afraid of Avril, even though she is a dignified princess of the empire, he may not take it seriously. It's just too embarrassing that something like trying to rape a princess should be done by Pierre.

In particular, Pierre is different from ordinary people. Hines is well aware of his disciple's hobbies, and his habits are not just sex...

Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be the only one who knows about this habit.

Avril Lavigne's bodyguard, eighth-level earth warrior Alexander Padgett knew something about Pierre.

At this moment, the danger the princess encountered made him very annoyed: "Master Hines, if I remember correctly, Pierre did such a thing more than 20 years ago. My friend Raschel once caught this bastard with his own hands, because he raped and killed at least six girls."

"Oh, my God." Avril exclaimed: "If this is the case, why is he fine?"

Padgett said helplessly: "Because Pierre indeed has extraordinary talent in the field of alchemy. Master Hines pleaded for him in person, which gave him a chance to live. Then he followed the master to come here. I thought he would never have the guts to do anything to the princess, but I didn't expect that he would do it anyway."

Cross sighed: "Long-term depression can sometimes indeed make people's desires break through their reason. This is not uncommon."

Hines was a little puzzled and said, "But this is exactly what I don't understand. Your Highness, why did you come to this jungle at night? How did Pierre know you were here? And Xiuyi, what's going on with you? Why are you here?"

Gong Hao replied slowly: "Master, you know that my main job is to make the princess happy during the time that Her Royal Highness stayed on Purgatory Island. So I designed a small program for her, just in this jungle, to enjoy the fun of the bonfire party and let her feel the beauty of nature. In fact, the princess likes it very much."

"This could have been my best night...if it wasn't for that villain," Avril Lavigne fumed.

She is still wearing the apprentice robe that Gong Hao gave her, and the torn clothes on the ground have fully proved what Pierre has done. In fact, Hines, who was too late to come, can see clearly through the crystal ball, but he is just pretending to be confused at this moment.

"When Pierre hit you, why didn't you fight back?"

"Because he is my lord, I can't do anything to him. Even if he is violating the princess, I can only stop him, not attack him."

Gong Hao's "humility" made everyone sigh, this child is too obedient to his "duty".

"So how did Pierre know you were here?" Hines continued to ask.

Gong Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but now it seems that he may have been prepared and set his sights on the princess."

Hines looked at the clothes on the ground and said, "I noticed that you are wearing maid's clothes, princess. Could it be that you were not the one he wanted to attack at first?"

"Oh, the maid's clothes are just a way for me to have more fun. If you say that Pierre just recognized the wrong person, then why did he see my face later, why did he still violently attack me?" Avril yelled angrily.

Hines sighed slightly, he also saw this situation. It's not that he's not angry with Pierre's bastard, it's just that his death has brought incalculable losses to Purgatory Island.

So he could only say: "Yes, princess, I understand that Pierre is unforgivable no matter what. But Your Highness, I hope the matter can end here. Pierre is dead, and I think it's better for Her Royal Highness not to speak up about this matter after returning to Winnington."

Avril stared at Hines in disbelief: "Oh my God, Hines, you old guy. Your apprentice once violated the laws of the empire, but you shielded him; he wanted to rape an imperial princess, but you turned a blind eye, and then kept interrogating me here; when the crime has been proven, you want it all to end like this? God, you actually told me not to tell my father what happened, you are an old bastard!"

This was the first time in his life that Hines was called an old bastard. His face turned blue and red, but he couldn't explain it at all.

Perhaps seeing Hines' embarrassment, Gong Hao gently grabbed Avril's hand: "You don't need to be so angry, I believe Master Hines has good intentions."

"You still speak for him?" Avril Lavigne stared at her big beautiful eyes.

Gong Hao unhurriedly spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.

Avril Lavigne's heart softened immediately: "Oh, Xiu Yi, your injury is serious. What are you trash doing? Hurry up and get the medicine."

A large group of people stepped forward to give Gong Hao medicine, and the best healing medicine was poured down on Gong Hao without money.

Gong Hao stuffed all the potions into his arms very bluntly, then looked at Avril with affectionate eyes and said: "Avril, you know that the person I care about most is you, right?"

"Yes, Xiu Yi, I saw you risk your life to protect me. Xiu Yi, you really care about me."

"Then I hope you can forgive and understand Master Hines, don't be angry, okay?"

"Why? This bastard shielded his students, Pierre deserved to die. And now he is still trying to quibble, shirk responsibility, and even try to hide the matter."

"He was just trying to figure things out at first, and it did make sense to hold it down."

"I don't understand, Huey, what's the rationale for this? Pierre should be condemned by the entire empire and tried by the court!"

"Actually, I don't think you think it's a good thing that the princess of the empire was almost raped and became a joke of the Lance Empire after dinner?"

Avril hesitated slightly.

Yes, if the whole country knew that she was almost raped by a damn bad uncle, then this kind of scandal would definitely have a very bad impact on her, and it would also shame the royal family.

Cross and Padgett looked at each other, and to be honest, they didn't want it to get out.

The princess was almost killed, and the first to suffer was the person responsible for protecting her. Although she sneaked out by herself at the time, people would not think about it that way, and would only think it was the dereliction of duty of the subordinates.

Gong Hao said again: "What's more, if you let everyone know that you sneaked out with an apprentice, what will others think? Of course those who know know that I am just leading you to enjoy the moonlight, bonfire and beautiful night, but what about those who don't know? They will think that we are having a tryst. Rumors will spread everywhere. Maybe His Majesty will be furious and order to kill me. Your entourage will be dismissed, Master Haines will be punished, and everyone will suffer for it. You really hope Is that so, Avril Lavigne."

"Oh no, Huey, I won't let them do that to you."

"Then listen to me, accept Master Hines' advice, and let this matter pass. Don't mention Tippye again, anyway, he is dead, and no one will know how he died. Just say that he died of... illness."

Avril looked at Gong Hao affectionately, and finally nodded: "Okay Xiu Yi, I listen to you, you can say whatever you want. You know that I don't want you to be implicated, and everything you do is to make me happy."

Avril finally agreed to Hines' request, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief, and looked at Gong Hao with gratitude, and no longer minded that he brought the little princess out for a tryst.

As far as Gong Hao is concerned, his biggest purpose in doing this is to please Hines on the one hand, and to give Bailey an explanation on the other hand. If Bailey knew that he had just given Gong Hao the information about Pierre two months ago, that Pierre died because of trying to rape the princess, and that Gong Hao was present at that time, I'm afraid he would have guessed something.

But now, after Pierre died of illness, he couldn't doubt Gong Hao anymore.

In Bailey's eyes, Gong Hao is just a poor wretch who secretly discovered the death secret on Purgatory Island, and then worked hard to please his master, trying to live longer. All he wanted was to use this poor guy's hand to gain enough benefits for himself.

If you let him know that this "poor guy" has been thinking about how to fight back from the beginning to the end, even if he is given a golden mountain, he will not dare to move it.

Of course, there is another advantage in the end, that is, to solve it so silently can prevent people from the Imperial Legal Affairs Bureau from intervening in the investigation. After all, it is impossible not to attract the attention of those hounds for such a big event as the princess. And they are not inexperienced with intrigue and calculation like warriors and magicians.

These hounds are definitely not easy to fool, and they can find out many tricks just from the cause of Pierre's death.

Fortunately, this is not the mainland, and the Legal Affairs Department's hand will not be easily extended here.

—————————————

Handing over Pierre's body to the servants, Avril walked to Haines angrily: "Old man, you'd better remember that your student is bad enough to destroy you. If you didn't have a good apprentice, then I can guarantee that my father's anger will burn the entire Purgatory Island to ashes!"

Hines had no face to answer, so he could only leave in despair.

Facing the arrogant and domineering Princess of the Empire who is now extremely angry, even the Great Alchemist, whom the Emperor of the Empire relies heavily on, can only choose to give in.

Cross patted Gong Hao on the shoulder and said, "I should have scolded you for sneaking out with the princess, but now that I think about it, it's really not your fault. You're just trying to make the princess happy as much as possible. In fact, you defended the princess's chastity with your own life, but what I really want to thank is that you persuaded the princess to decide not to report this matter. Good boy, for the sake of this, you can ask me if you have any problems with magic. Ask and answer."

Padgett, the warrior of the earth, looked at Lancelot who was coldly watching the bustle in the distance but never said a word, and then said to Gong Hao: "I heard that guy taught you some warrior training methods, but it seems that he is not a good teacher, otherwise you should not be beaten so miserably by Pierre. I think you know that knowledge and educational ability are sometimes not equal. Students taught by warriors at the sanctuary level are not necessarily the strongest students in the world. The strength of teachers is not necessarily important to students, it is important What matters is how much he can teach his students. That petty, selfish fellow nearly got you killed for his miserliness. You can ask me for advice if you like. I, like Cross, have an answer."

A high-level magician and a high-level warrior handed him a friendly olive branch at the same time, probably not only because he persuaded Avril for them, but more importantly, they found that the little blond boy had an unparalleled influence on the princess.

With Avril's temperament, after encountering such a thing, even her most respected mother may not be able to persuade her not to report the matter. The reason why she agreed not to report to the emperor is probably because of Gong Hao's sentence "I will be unlucky too". In order not to implicate Gong Hao, Avril finally suppressed her breath. As a result, Gong Hao did not follow the bad luck, but Cross and Padgett were lucky to escape. Of course, Hines was also lucky.

For Cross and Padgett, if they don't see the importance of making friends with Hugh Igleser, they don't have to mess around in the treacherous and dangerous officialdom.

People who have been in officialdom will always understand one truth - that is, not to be an opponent of the strong, but to be friends with him.

Here, the meaning of the strong is not just force, but also includes other aspects. For example, Xiu Yiglaer, he is now a strong man in a certain sense.

After hearing what Padgett said, Lancelot in the distance snorted coldly and left. In terms of the ability to educate apprentices, Lancelot, who has lived in seclusion for a long time, is indeed impossible to compare with Padgett, who is famous all over the world. Even now, three or five Padgetts combined are not his opponents, but the ability and personal strength required to educate apprentices are indeed different.

With Padgett guiding Gong Hao, Gong Hao no longer has to worry about making mistakes on the path of warrior training.

The people brought by Avril Lavigne were flattering Gong Hao one after another, while Andrew looked at Pierre's body with extremely complicated eyes, and finally let out a long sigh. This sigh was both for Pierre and for himself. For many years, he has been under the pressure of Pierre, and he has no bright future.

Now that Pierre is dead, Hines has lost one of his best assistants, and he will be the real second master of Purgatory Island in the future. This made him a little happy, but also a little sad.

The happy thing is that his status has risen, but the sad thing is that he didn't get it through his own hard work.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Gong Hao again. If nothing else happened, this kid seemed to be taking his place.

He has performed bravely, in less than two years, he has jumped from a lowly servant to a popular person around the princess, and will soon become the number three person on Purgatory Island.

When he thought of the spirit seed in Gong Hao's body, he felt conflicted again.

Should I find a way to thoroughly study the method of taking out the spirit seed, so that Xiu Yiglaer can really get rid of death? But if he knew the truth about the spirit seed, would he still support himself and his mentor as always?

Without the Spirit Seed, he lost the greatest control over him. Wouldn't that mean releasing a terrifying opponent?

But if he could accept it and become a student of his mentor from then on, with his wisdom, he would probably be able to solve the mysteries of alchemy as soon as possible, and the day when he would leave Purgatory Island would not be far away.

Survive? or death?

Andrew, like Hamlet, also couldn't find the answer.

As for Isadora, she was probably the only one who doubted all this when she saw the maid's costume there. But when she saw Avril looking at Gong Hao affectionately, and Gong Hao sent her cold warning eyes, she immediately realized that maybe shutting up is her best choice.

In fact, she did not have any evidence to prove that all this was a conspiracy, after all, even she herself was not sure what was going on. Saying the fact that Pierre might be targeting him may not prove anything, but it will definitely bring him trouble.

Her sagacity paid off.

Afterwards, Gong Hao gave her a few bottles of charm potions. Shortly after returning to Winnington, the girl found an earl to marry and became a countess. The matter of Pierre was completely forgotten by the Countess.

Say two things: one, I overslept again today, so the update is late, sorry sorry.

Two: Ma Beitian, are you there? I went to Long Kong, I read the post, and I have no opinion on the article you published and other things about my speech that you expressed hope to publish. The problem is that the evil reply system that makes me hate it - I can't reply.

So I have been procrastinating until now to say hello to you in the book.

So... this... I can only continue to remain silent for the time being, just like the theme of this article. well.
