Almighty Alchemist

Early the next morning, the song and dance troupe continued to set off towards Fragrant Leaf City. According to Huey's suggestion, instead of focusing on the small villages where they can't make a lot of money, it is better to take the time to rehearse the new script and wait until the big cities to show their talents. Clarice accepted this suggestion, and from this day on, the members of the song and dance troupe seized all the time to rehearse "Turandot".

Clarice is "ambitious" and vows to do a great job in Fragrant Leaf City, and will never stop until hundreds of King Witts are swept away.

The use value of a Jinwitte on this continent is almost equivalent to two hundred yuan. Clarice has never seen big money in her life, and a few hundred Gold Witts is already the limit of her short-term goals.

At that time, Xiuyi really wanted to know what kind of wonderful expression would appear on her face if she knew that any bottle of potion she rejected yesterday could be sold for hundreds or thousands of Gold Witts.

But thinking about it, this approach seems a bit too inhumane.

Of the five carriages, the girls from the song and dance troupe occupied four of them, and the remaining one carriage and one truck were the men's territory.

It stands to reason that the "transfer student" Huey was supposed to be placed in the back, but Clarice finally "showed mercy" once, instead of letting Huey be with other men, she let him share the car with her.

It makes male actors envious - good looks always pay off.

But Xiuyi didn't think so. If possible, he would rather be crowded with those men, and he couldn't bear the judgment of these girls on him.

And Clarice did this because she felt that it was time to have a good understanding of the origin of this boy who fell from the sky.

What Xiu Yi said yesterday made her very surprised. It is impossible for ordinary teenagers to have such insight and wisdom.

"Fink, first of all, I should thank you for the advice you gave me yesterday. I didn't expect a young man to understand so many principles and be so intelligent. In addition, I was surprised to find that the script you wrote to me, I had never heard of it before, but it is very good. I believe that as long as it is successfully performed, it will definitely become a classic in the mainland. But because of this, I feel very strange. Are you really a messenger sent by the gods?"

Huey bowed to Clarice: "I'm sorry Captain Clarice, because I didn't know where I was, and I was afraid that my fierce and cruel master was around here, so I didn't dare to reveal my identity. But after knowing that this is the Valsa group, I have determined that I am far enough away from my terrible master, so far away that he can no longer catch up with me and kill me, so now I can tell the truth."

Daisy blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked: "So you are a servant? So you have a terrible master?"

"Yes, beautiful Miss Daisy. My master's name is Imogen Killery. He is a branch of the Frank Empire's Killery family. He is a sea explorer and a businessman, as well as a monster hunter and a smuggler of alchemy materials."

"Sounds like a lucrative industry." Clarice's pursuit of profit led her to summarize a series of lies carefully woven by Huey into a core of "money".

"It is indeed very profitable, and my master's business is very large. He has a large fleet and his business spreads across the three continents."

"Then why did you run out?"

Huey replied politely: "Imogene Killery is a very cruel master. He does not allow anyone to violate his will. I have worked in the Killery family for three years as his attendant. This position may sound dazzling, but being close to a cruel master is actually a very scary thing. I have seen Killery kill people who made a small mistake in their work more than once. He tied stones on their legs, threw them into the sea, and then watched them sink into the bottom of the sea, expressing despair screaming and begging for mercy, and then he himself laughed on the boat. Sometimes there will be some sea monsters swimming near the fleet, and he will feed some of his followers as food to them."

Daisy, Randy and the others covered their lips, their little faces turned pale with fright: "Oh my god, this sounds terrible."

Clarice looked at Xiu Yi suspiciously: "Then how did you escape? How do you know so much?"

"Although Imogen Killery is very cruel, he is indeed a very capable master. During the three years of my career with him, I have learned a lot from him, including cooking and some business skills. You know that sometimes the attendants need to help the master to do some record work, which allows me to understand the knowledge of the master well and learn enough ways to live and live. My master came to the Lance Empire a month ago. Due to a storm at sea, his fleet suffered a lot of damage, so he needs I stayed there for a while. I found an opportunity and stole some of the alchemist’s belongings from the master, including potions and the flying cloak. Then I used the flying cloak to escape smoothly. But unfortunately, I didn’t realize that the flying cloak also has its own limit. After I flew a certain distance, due to the insufficient energy supply of the cloak, I fell off.

"So that's the case." The girls made a voice of understanding, full of sympathy for Xiu Yi's experience.

The highest state of lying is to pay attention to the use of details and suit one's own situation. Xiuyi's lie not only revealed some details unknown to everyone, but the point is that this is very similar to his current environment—they are all fugitive servants, and they are all avoiding pursuit. It's just that the real situation is that what he is about to face is the pursuit of the entire Lance Empire, not the pursuit of other businessmen.

The contrast between the two is obvious.

Girls don't care about taking in a runaway servant of a noble merchant, it's no big deal, but they certainly don't dare to go against the entire empire.

The advantage of doing this is that when he faces some special situations in the future, he can adopt exactly the same approach as a real fugitive without worrying about being seen by others. And it was in line with the wild speculations of the girls last night-people are always willing to believe their wild guesses, and if they can confirm their wild guesses, they will feel very smart and feel very satisfied.

Another realm of lies is the boundary between long-term goals and short-term goals. Many lies are always successful for a period of time, but as time goes by, they will gradually be exposed in front of everyone. Failure to determine the boundaries of a lie and the time it takes to substantiate it will face dire consequences. Huey used a distant foreign businessman as a cover, a medium-term cover to be precise. It sounds very proven, as if you can check at any time whether such a businessman exists, but it will take a while to actually prove it.

During this time, Huey was safe and invulnerable. By the day you really confirm it, he has already drifted away.

And the last advantage of this lie is that this lie is so similar to the facts he experienced, so that when he expresses his emotions about the past, he can not hide his hatred and disgust for the environment he once lived in.

Emotionally, he is unwilling to have any good imagination and cover-up about the past.

The lie itself may be false, but emotionally it is completely true.

This is a true lie.

———————————————

What surprised Huey was that Clarice didn't seem interested in the lie he had carefully woven. Her eyes were shining greedily at this moment: "An alchemist's prop? You mean you have an alchemist's prop that can make people fly in the air? My God, where is it?"

Huey replied helplessly: "Because the energy was exhausted, it was useless. In fact, when I fell, it was scattered on the wilderness."

"Oh, you prodigal son!" Clarice became excited: "You must know that even if it is a waste product, you should put it away properly. The materials needed to make it are quite precious. As long as it is charged, it is still a good treasure, and it can sell for a lot of money. My God, should we go back and get that thing back immediately?"

Clarice began to mutter to herself.

This woman wanted the golden mountain, but she was thinking about the illusory flying cloak. In fact, alchemists can indeed make this kind of thing, and Xiuyi will. It is not a lost technique, but the requirements for materials are too high. Looking at the world at present, I am afraid that only the materials hidden in Xiuyi's ring are qualified to make it. But Huey didn't intend to do that.

Hines was right, the pursuit of an alchemist is magic, not craftsman. He has the ability to resonate with the wind element, instead of spending energy and materials to make a flying cloak, it is better to let himself master the wind spell as soon as possible, and then let himself really fly. All the great magisters of the wind system can fly in the sky, but it consumes too much mana, and it is not something that I can control now.

Maybe it was finally recollection, Clarice asked Huey: "How much are your potions worth?"

Xiu Yi thought for a while and replied: "I'm not very clear, you know that not everything an alchemist has is very valuable."

"Then I'll wait until you sell them." Clarice said discouragedly.

The girls are not used to Clarice's fanatical worship of money, and Daisy asked Huey excitedly: "What about your little black dog? And what about those two birds?"

Xiu Yi smiled and said, "They are my long-term companions. One of these two birds is called Red, and the other is called Green. They are husband and wife. This little black dog..."

He noticed that when he pointed at the little dragon and called the little black dog, Xu's throat let out a low growl of dissatisfaction. Noble creatures are not to be despised.

Xiu Yi smiled wryly and stroked its head to comfort it: "His name is Xu, remember to use this word when addressing him. He is a very dignified creature. He doesn't like others calling him little black dog, so you can call him by his name directly."

"Xu?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect him to have a personality. Can I hug him?"

"Well... Being independent usually means being difficult to get close to. So I suggest you give up this idea. Xu doesn't like to get close to others, even if the other party is a beautiful woman, of course, the beautiful ones of the same kind are exceptions." Xiuyi explained.

Randy comforted him: "Anyway, you are free. Don't worry, although the leader is greedy for money, he will not sell you back to that hateful master. You can live a good life here."

Clarice stared at Lanti: "Nice things are always said behind other people's backs, Lanti, pay attention to your words, what do you mean I'm greedy for money...even though that's the truth." When it came to the last sentence, Clarice was a little discouraged.

Daisy smiled and said: "No wonder you are so good, you can cook delicious meals, and you can also write scripts for the group leader. It is especially rare that you are so proficient in business. It turns out that your former master was a businessman." Speaking of this, she suddenly made a gesture of holding a heart with her hands, looking up to the sky as if reciting poetry: "No wonder people always say that heroes come from the grass, and difficult environments make people grow. Oh, maybe all the difficulties and setbacks are the tests of the gods. As long as we get out of the difficulties, we will be greeted by the blue sky the sky..."

Xiu Yi was slightly taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Daisy said at this moment was quite reasonable. If I didn't have the dangerous survival environment of Purgatory Island, I'm afraid I might not be able to work hard and study hard, then I'm afraid I might not be able to have such a huge amount of knowledge and wealth now...

Of course, Daisy's emotion at this moment was not aimed at Xiu Yi. Her real thought was that maybe Violet's current suffering is a harbinger of their future glory. As for what price to pay in suffering to become an outstanding person, this point was automatically ignored by the little girl.

People are always willing to see the bright side, but unwilling to delve into the difficult process.

After thinking about it, Xiu Yi said: "Although I have already revealed my identity, I still hope that you can keep this secret for me. There are many people in the regiment, and it is always disadvantageous to spread the word."

"Don't worry, Fink, we won't tell. But how do we explain it to the others?" Daisy asked.

"Let's just say that I'm a nobleman who accidentally made a mistake while experimenting with the alchemist's flying cloak, and then met you. What's the reason?" Xiu Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, what a little liar you are." The girls laughed together.

Yes, Xiu Yi sighed, he had to lie non-stop on Purgatory Island, but he didn't expect that he would still lie non-stop when he left Purgatory Island.

It seems that God put him here just to make himself a liar.

Clarice asked him, "Fink, now that you have escaped from your terrible master, can you tell me where you are going next?"

Xiu Yi replied: "I have something to go to Fragrant Leaf City, and I will stay there for a while. After that... I plan to travel around."

"Oh, that's really great. We also want to stay in Fragrant Leaf City for a while. After all, it's hard to get a big city. We need to strive for more opportunities to perform. Then we can continue to live together, right? And since you plan to travel around, you don't care where you go. You can be with the song and dance troupe. Everyone likes to eat your cooking." Lanti said excitedly. In this way, even if Fink can really sell his potion in Fragrant Leaf City, there is no need to worry that he will leave immediately.

Xiu Yi said lightly: "If you welcome it, I have no objection. But I am very worried that my tour will not go smoothly. In fact, my fierce and brutal master will definitely send someone to arrest me. Although I left some false clues to confuse my master, those false clues can only delay some time, and they will catch up with me sooner or later. So I don't think my journey will be very pleasant, and I don't think I can stay with you for too long."

"Of course we welcome you. But you don't have to worry too much about your master's pursuit. He is not His Majesty Stricker, and it is impossible for him to stretch his hand that long." Clarice issued an invitation.

After seeing the boy's extraordinary conversation and his wise mind, Clarice had already started to like this boy, so the invitation at this moment was sincere from the heart and had nothing to do with money.

Xiu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "I hope so."
