Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 9 Materials Market
The lord's mansion of the sixth-level archmage Ablit is in the western district of Fragrant Leaf City.
It is located in the prosperous Shangmao area, and all kinds of businesses are very prosperous.
Perhaps it was because of Ablit's great reputation, for many years, no one dared to cause trouble in the area of the Lord's Mansion.
The result of offending a space-type archmage is usually not death, but a more terrifying consequence than death-being lost in the endless void forever.
Diagonally opposite the Lord's Mansion, there is a tavern called Black Palm Bar.
At this moment, Xiu Yi was sitting at the Black Palm Bar and ordered a glass of black gin wine, which is a specialty here, with a rich and rich taste and a sweet aftertaste.
Nearly four years of life on Purgatory Island kept his nerves in a tense state, and now he finally had a chance to relax. Even a glass of fine wine could make him feel the sweetness of life.
Of course, his main purpose in coming here was not to drink.
Since this is the closest tavern to the Lord's Mansion, the warriors of the Lord's Mansion often come here for a few drinks in their spare time.
After people drink too much, they will always say something that should not be said, and some information that should not be disclosed is also leaked because of this.
If you want to know the news about the Lord's Mansion, there is actually nothing easier to get than here.
Xiu Yi didn't even need to venture into the lord's mansion at night, he didn't need to bribe a certain samurai, he just needed to sit here quietly and listen carefully, day after day, then he would understand everything about this place before long.
After drinking, Xiuyi would get up and leave the bar, walk around the Lord's Mansion, and then return to the hotel.
Clarice has been so busy recently that she has too many things to do, such as managing the team, rehearsing new plays, and helping other song and dance troupes train singers. So she completely disappeared from Xiu Yi's eyes. To Xiu Yi, this was a blessing - he thought he could devote more energy to cultivation and other things.
But it turns out he was wrong.
Even if there was no harassment from Clarice, there was harassment from other girls in the cabaret, especially Daisy and Randy.
Xiu Yi, who had just returned to the hotel, was looking at Xu with a headache.
He is teaching Asahi how to learn and use magic.
But it seems that the little guy is not easy to learn. As a magic dragon born with endless magic power, Xu is like an untapped treasure house. It's a pity that Xu's series of adventures only enhanced its wisdom and potential, but it couldn't let it get rid of the lazy nature of Warcraft that never thinks about how to live tomorrow - it has no dream of learning early and becoming a little genius of a magic dragon.
It prefers to sleep in Xiuyi's arms every day. For him, he is still at the age of being naughty, mischievous, eating and dying, and living off his parents.
The drudgery of learning shouldn't fall on me so early, that's called child abuse.
"Fink!" Randy's voice sounded outside the door: "Daisy and I are going to go shopping in the street. But you know that it is a very risky thing for two girls to go to the street. Don't you think it is necessary to stand up and show your chivalry at this time?"
After Lanti's cry came, Xiu Yi reluctantly gave up and continued to teach Xu.
He opened the door and saw Randy and Daisy waiting for him dressed up at the door.
"Are you going to the streets?" he asked.
Randy quickly replied: "Today's rehearsal is over. Clarice is going to another song and dance troupe. We are free now. What are you doing not going out on the street?"
"But I remember you went shopping just yesterday."
"Oh, women will never think of shopping too much." Randy pouted her cute little mouth.
Daisy still hurriedly said: "I don't have enough daily necessities. I asked Randy to accompany me, and she wanted you to go with me. I think this is really bothering you too much."
Daisy's voice was always so soft and sweet.
It's hard to imagine that these two girls with such different personalities could be good friends. Daisy is like an orchid blooming in an empty valley, with a gentle and reserved temperament, but occasionally a little mischievous. Lanti speaks quickly, like a hot pepper, she can say whatever she thinks, she is more daring than Daisy to pursue the things she likes.
At least she never concealed her affection for Xiu Yi in words. From the first time she saw Xiu Yi, she decided to hold on to this little boy, while Daisy always represented everything with her eyes and shyness.
As for Clarice, she clearly admires Hugh's money more than he does himself.
Xiu Yi thought for a while and nodded, "No, it's not a disturbance. I just plan to go for a walk on the street."
———————————————————
When leaving the hotel, I encountered a little trouble.
A party of knights is questioning the innkeeper.
The leading knight commander looked very serious, and after asking some questions, he glanced at the surrounding guests with stern eyes.
Xiuyi could feel that the knight commander stayed on his body for a while, and looked away after seeing the color of his hair.
The knights roared away.
"Hey, Jamie, what happened?" Randy asked the innkeeper curiously.
"Oh, I'm here to track down a fugitive. It seems to be Hugh Igleser. He is a murderer who killed important officials of the empire. It's hard to believe that this murderer is not yet sixteen years old." The innkeeper sighed and shook his head.
"Oh, my God." Demi covered her small mouth in horror: "You mean a terrible murderer came to Fragrant Leaf City?"
"No, I didn't say that." The innkeeper replied: "This is a national arrest warrant, issued in every city, and no one knows where the murderer is. In my personal opinion, the possibility of that Hugh Iglesle coming to Fragrant Leaf City is zero. Oh, by the way, girls, you don't have to be so afraid. Although that Hugh Iglesle is a murderer, he is not a rapist."
"What does he look like?" Lanti glanced at Xiu Yi, and then quickly asked, a thought suddenly rose in her heart, damn it, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?
The innkeeper replied: "Blonde hair, blue eyes, height... probably about the same as your friends."
The innkeeper showed the portrait that was about to be hung on the wall.
Thank God, alchemy doesn't invent a camera, and a man who has seen his own face doesn't know how to paint. Xiu Yi noticed that the innkeeper was holding a portrait of himself in his hand, but it looked very different from his own appearance. Coupled with the change in hair color, no one could confirm that he was Xiu Yiglaer.
The important thing is that the painter painted him like a vicious monster!
Randy stared at the portrait for a long time, then muttered: "He looks really ugly."
Xiu Yi had the urge to laugh.
What he wanted to laugh the most was that in the matter of hunting him down, although the Lance Empire could make a big splash, just as he expected, the empire would only plant another charge on him instead of telling the truth.
If the people know that their emperor used the life of the people as an alchemy experiment, well, even the emperor would have to pay a heavy price for it.
This means a very important benefit, except for a few informed officials, the vast majority of ordinary detectives will not stare at an alchemist.
So the agent is bound to know next to nothing about Hugh Iglesle except for the color and age of his hair.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that experienced hounds are secretly serving, waiting for him to take the bait.
The premise is that they have to know where to ambush first.
"Let's go." Daisy took Xiuyi's arm with a jade-like hand, and Lanti, who was beside her, was very unconvinced and took the other arm.
Many guests cast envious eyes on Xiu Yi.
When going out, the innkeeper shouted: "Try to be careful when you go out, the investigation is tight now, I heard that the entire Versa group is stepping up the investigation."
Xiu Yi stopped, turned back and asked the innkeeper, "Is this the case all over the country?"
"Yes, but this area is the tightest. Almost all the roads from Versa to Noz are blocked. I guess our Lord Governor must really expect that Hugh Igles will be in Versa. I heard that even some high-ranking warriors have been sent here. I have never heard of such treatment in other places."
The corner of Xiu Yi's mouth twisted: "Really? Then they really take special care of this place."
Turn away.
Sure enough, the hounds of the Judicial Administration found that they had fallen into the Versa Group, and deployed heavy troops on the route to Nanwei Town.
His foothold is quite close to Nanweier Town, but far away from Fragrant Leaf City. This leads the people of the Legal Affairs Bureau to the wrong way of thinking.
However, there was still a warning sign in Xiu Yi's heart.
You must know that although the destination hidden by the clues you left on the teleportation circle is false, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can discover and decipher.
That was both a false clue and a true temptation—to test the ability of the person who tracked him.
As long as the people from the Jurisdiction Bureau make a lot of inquiries in the direction leading to the Noz group, it means that the person who chased him is indeed very capable-if Bailey hadn't told him how cunning the people from the Jurisdiction Bureau are, and how well-versed in the weaknesses of people's hearts, if he wasn't the real Hugh Igleser, he might really have to go back to Hugh Igleser's hometown. After all, for a teenager who has been away from home for too long, the idea of returning home after escaping from such a hell is really normal.
From Hugh Igleser's memory, he couldn't find much impression of this aunt. He couldn't even remember what this aunt looked like, but he was extremely impressed by the Baron and the Baroness.
Does this mean that in the mind of Hugh Igleser, he always tried to avoid recalling his aunt?
Xiu Yi didn't know the answer, but he knew that even now he was affected by Xiu Yi's emotions in the past, and he had a desire to go home and have a look.
Look at that damned aunt, look at the baron and baroness who used to take good care of him.
This emotional awareness is not strong, but it is always there.
That's why he didn't want the people from the Legal Affairs Bureau to discover this false clue. Discovering a false clue not only means that the other party has a strong tracking and reconnaissance ability, but also means that he may really not be able to return to South Well Town in the future.
He had hoped that he could see people from the Legal Affairs Bureau flying around like headless chickens, searching everywhere. It's a pity that there may be many idiots in the Lance Empire, but he was not so lucky to meet them.
The person who is now deploying everything to chase after him is definitely a veteran hunting dog with rich experience.
However, no matter how powerful this hunting dog is, it is impossible to know that he is already a three-line magician, impossible to know the existence of Xu, impossible to know the existence of red and green, impossible to know that he has created a powerful Void Slash when he is only a junior mage.
If a person makes a move without knowing the opponent's cards, it usually means a disastrous defeat.
What's more, Xiu Yi can also add more hole cards for himself. It is also impossible for the old hunting dog to know how powerful an alchemist possesses when he really shows his power.
In terms of magic and martial arts cultivation, Xiu Yi may still be considered weak, but in terms of alchemy, there is no one who dares to say that he is better than him in the mainland today.
But until he had a clear understanding of the hound's details, Xiu Yi did not intend to confront the other party head-on.
If nothing else happened, if they rushed back here when they found out that they were not in South Well Town, they should have missed the good show.
It's time to make some prerequisite preparations. Thinking of this, Xiu Yi suddenly said: "Lanti."
"What's up Funk?"
"Do you know where the largest alchemy material market in Fragrant Leaf City is?"
"Oh, of course, women are the most familiar with the market." Randy replied proudly.
"So are you interested in taking a walk with me?"
"Go wherever you say." Randy never concealed her fascination with Xiu Yi. In her opinion, this boy is the best gift God gave them. He was smart, polite, and handsome, and it would be a pity to miss him.
—————————————————
Although Purgatory Island is a laboratory secretly established by the Lance Empire and the center of alchemy in the entire country, it does not mean that it has all the resources in the country. Purgatory Island has basically extinct species. On the contrary, some common species are rare, mainly relying on the transport of Liberty.
Therefore, even if Xiu Yi wanted to make something, he needed to go to the alchemy market to find some cheap materials that he couldn't carry in his ring. And he also wanted to use as little as possible of what was in the ring. After all, those things are too precious, until he finds a safe place to grow all the seeds in the ring, every bit of those materials used will be less.
However, when she came to the alchemy material market in Fragrant Leaf City, Xiu Yi regretted that she had seriously miscalculated the situation.
He didn't expect that a batch of materials that he thought were worthless at first and deliberately left to confuse the detectives' sight turned out to be rare and good stuff here.
When he saw these things being delivered by boats and boats every month on the Liberty, he thought that the price should not be too outrageous. But it ignores that this is the transportation of the strength of a country. Scattered to various parts of the country, its ownership is actually pitifully small, and the price has also risen.
Some cunning businessmen even use ordinary plants or other items to process instead of various rare materials, but these materials were not even considered on Purgatory Island.
As for the materials in Huey's ring—there are no fakes at all, and people think these things have long been extinct.
Under such circumstances, Xiu Yi could only sigh, perhaps the reason why these things were so hard to see was that Purgatory Island was also one of the culprits. The Lance Empire claims to support Purgatory Island with all the strength of the whole country, and it is not empty talk. I eat shark fin every day and feel nothing. When I walk into the world, I find that even fish meat is terribly expensive.
He originally planned to make several powerful offensive props for himself, but judging from the current situation, it would be difficult to complete the plan - even the best alchemist could not use clay to make the most brilliant magic circle.
While contemplating, there was a conversation between two people not far away.
That conversation caught his attention immediately.
After listening for a while, the corner of Xiu Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and he found that he had a good idea.
