Almighty Alchemist

The night has not yet fallen, and the sky above Fragrant Leaf City has been filled with candles. Although the rampant raids have destroyed the festive atmosphere, people with good hopes still insist on lighting the bright light that represents longing.

As a result, the streets of Fragrant Leaf City became brightly lit, and no one here can sleep tonight.

According to the rules, the Violet Song and Dance Troupe will perform at the prime time at 8:00 p.m.

The girls will enter the arena early at five o'clock for makeup, final rehearsal and other preparations.

Daisy noticed that Clarice's eye circles were red, and she asked the head of the group softly: "What's the matter, Clarice?"

Clarice replied quickly: "Nothing, just a little nervous,"

Randy hurried over and shouted, "I didn't see Fink, I didn't see him all day today, what the hell, it's our big day, where did he go?"

"He was in the theatre, and he said he wanted to see the performances of other song and dance troupes first, and then compare them to see whose performance was better," Clarice replied.

"You don't have to ask, of course it's us, we are the best song and dance troupe in the country," Lanti replied proudly: "Tonight I will let him see my best performance,"

"Okay, stop talking about this, we're about to enter the stage, get ready to put on makeup, baby," Clarice urged her.

As the theater with the most luxurious facilities and the largest audience in Fragrant Leaf City, Lanya Theater is a semicircular structure with a huge stage area and advanced facilities. It can accommodate about 8,000 guests at a time.

The fees here are also very standard, as high as 20 silver-wittes for ordinary seats, and three to five gold-wittes for high-end boxes. On average, the price for each seat is about 30 silver-wittes.

After a performance, as long as it is sold out, the theater revenue can reach 2,400 Gold Witts, while the song and dance troupe will get at least 800 Gold Witts from it.

However, if the performance fails or the business is not good, the song and dance troupe will also have to pay up to 1,600 Gold Witts to the theater.

On the top floor of the theater is a large open-air platform. This is where the nobles hold cocktail parties. High-ranking nobles often choose to hold cocktail parties on the platform while watching performances. This can bring them double pleasure. It also allows some nobles who are not interested in opera to find their own place in the Lanya Grand Theater.

Occasionally, the nobles would invite the singers who performed well to the platform, where they drank and chatted, and they didn't mind spending a sum of money to bring a certain girl they liked back to their room that night to spend a night of ecstasy.

Therefore, some people also call that open-air platform the "Lying Beauty Field".

Clarice didn't know that before her song and dance troupe entered Lanya, Xiuyi had already been in this sex hunting field.

,,,,,,,,,,,.

Standing on this open-air platform representing the highest level of Fragrant Leaf City, Xiuyi looked around leisurely.

This open-air platform, known as the Hunting Field, is famous for its luxury and splendor even in the entire Lance Empire.

The entire open-air platform is built on the top of the theater, which is an elliptical building, and two winding spiral staircases extend from the top to the bottom.

The luxurious red carpet starts from the spiral staircase and extends to the entire platform.

The base of the platform is carved from large pieces of jade, and the handrails are carved with exquisite patterns.

On both sides of the platform is a curtain wall made of a whole piece of super large crystal, from here you can clearly see the performance on the stage below, and of course, the audience can also see the life of the aristocrats enjoying life above.

The entire elliptical platform is divided into three layers. The outermost circle is a place for the servants to rest. The middle circle is used to hold all kinds of exquisite pastries and fine wines that have been prepared. The servants are dressed in white overalls and hold golden trays in their hands. Standing in a row to entertain guests at any time, the innermost circle is the place for the reception.

Between the inner circle and the middle circle are dozens of warriors guarding the defense.

Dozens of long tables are arranged on both sides of the inner circle of the platform, which are filled with exquisite food. There is a large open space in the middle, which can be used for dancing. There is also a small high platform above the reception, which can be used for people to make speeches.

Hundreds of magic lamps illuminate the sky from every corner, and even on a day when the stars and the moon are dark, it is still daytime here.

The Brownie family held a grand cocktail party on this open-air platform today, inviting all the well-known nobles of Xiangye City.

This is the practice of the Brownie family. Every Christmas, they hold a reception here to make friends with famous families from all over the city.

Most of the aristocratic gentlemen who came here wore exquisite wigs, some wore black bow ties on their chests, and a few wore small vests with riding whips in their hands, looking as if they had just returned from hunting.

Some aristocratic ladies wore loose evening gowns, and the inner part of the skirts was supported by bamboo rings to keep their skirts in a raised posture. Some ladies also wore velvet hats on their heads, and some wore veils or silk scarves.

The vast majority of noble ladies are studded with rosary beads, rings, chains, gems, diamonds, emeralds, pearls, agates and other ornaments.

They looked like humanoid monsters covered with precious stones. For these women, this occasion was an opportunity for them to show off their financial resources.

Most of the nobles who came to the reception maintained a polite demeanor. When they saw a lady, they would take off their hats to pay tribute. For some beautiful women, they would step forward to show their courtesy without losing the opportunity.

Before the reception officially started, people walked around freely to meet friends they thought they were qualified to meet. This was a way for nobles to get involved. Through receptions one after another, a circle of nobles was established, where they could move around and sell themselves, so as to prepare for a good promotion in the future.

So receptions and dances like this are actually synonymous with the social circle of upper-class aristocrats.

The reason why Claude Browne invited Xiu Yi to his own reception was to show Xiu Yi the power of the family through this kind of high-level social pressure, and at the same time fulfill his "brother's entrustment", to confirm whether Xiu Yi is really a priceless treasure.

After a reception like this, if one or two people go missing, it's not a big deal. Even the Legal Affairs Bureau dare not investigate so many nobles.

"I hope you enjoy my reception," Claude Brownie said to Xiu Yi at this moment.

"It's a gorgeous feast. I saw that almost all the people of status in Fragrance Leaf City came," Xiu Yi replied politely.

Claude Brownie said proudly: "Oh, I can only say that the Brownie family is in Fragrant Leaf City, no, it should be said that the entire Versa group is quite famous. You know, at least half of the nobles who come here have received the favor of the Brownie family. We are always good at solving troubles,"

"Your words make me feel ashamed. Just a few days ago, I caused trouble for your family. It is rare that you can ignore the previous suspicions. Not only did you not hold me accountable, but you invited me to such a grand banquet. I am flattered."

"Oh, generosity is a virtue that every nobleman should have," Claude said with his arms around Xiuyi's shoulders and smiled, "Don't worry about the past. You are an alchemist. The Brownie family is willing to cooperate with any capable alchemist. I mean, if you have any trouble, you can also come to us."

"Yes, for example, before I went out today, I was able to get rid of those nasty warriors thanks to the help of your people... They are arresting young people everywhere," Xiuyi replied with a helpless expression.

"Oh, yes, I know about it. I heard that they are arresting a young man named Xiu Yilaer. It is hard to imagine who that young man is, who can cause the entire empire to go to war. The lord even issued a martial law order for the whole city today, strictly prohibiting any youth under the age of seventeen from entering or leaving." When Claude said this, he looked at Xiu Yi with a special look.

Xiu Yi pretended to be careless and replied: "It depends on how much benefit you can gain by catching this prisoner."

"Oh, do you mean the reward of the 10,000 Kingwitts?" Claude intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to the value of Hugh Glare, and Hughes fully cooperated.

He laughed: "Maybe that's only one ten-thousandth of the real value,"

Claude's heart beat violently, and he laughed a few times: "It's hard for me to imagine who can be worth so much money,"

Xiu Yiyouyou's answer: "That's because you are not an alchemist. You must know that some things that an alchemist owns can't even be exchanged for a city, for example..."

Xiu Yi deliberately paused, and then said casually: "For example, a space ring that can be used to store a large number of items; for example, some rare materials that cannot be found in this world; for example, thousands of top-level potions; for example, some top-level alchemy techniques that have been lost..."

Claude sucked in a breath of cold air, he looked at Xiu Yi in a daze, and then fell to his left hand that was holding the wine glass.

On Xiu Yi's finger, an ordinary ring gave off a faint magical light.

Huge greed shot out from Claude's eyes. He never dreamed that he could get the big secret about Hugh Igles from Huey so easily. Then he smiled and raised his glass, using his slightly trembling movements to conceal his nervousness. He said, "It's really interesting, a very good reasoning, Mr. Danito,"

"Yes," Xiu Yi also raised his glass to the other party.

He looked around, and then said, "Don't mind if I walk around,"

"Of course, the reception hasn't officially started yet. You can go shopping as you like. Look over there, there is a beautiful noble lady looking at you. Why don't you go up and chat with that lady, maybe you can spend a beautiful night,"

"You're right," Huey beckoned to the waiter who walked by, put the wine glass in his hand on the tray, and then he bowed to Claude: "Thank you very much for your generosity. In return, this bottle of potion should be considered a gift from me to the Brownie family."

He casually took out a bottle of potion and put it in Claude's hand, then walked towards the crowd.

Looking at Xiu Yi's back, Claude opened the medicine bottle in his hand and sniffed it lightly.

Sure enough, it is top-notch.

He beckoned, and a warrior beside him came over, and Claude said in a low voice: "Arrange all the family warriors, guard this place, and let everyone watch over that kid. Tonight, he will never be allowed to leave this reception."

The samurai hesitated: "Do you want to do it now?"

Claude shook his head: "No, after the reception is over, let that kid be proud for a while. Remember, you must keep it secret when you start, and don't let anyone find out. This matter... must not let anyone know,"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.

Walking along the outer railing, Xiuyi looked at the surrounding environment leisurely. He seemed to be enjoying the scenery, and occasionally stopped to watch the performance on the stage below.

It's not yet eight o'clock, and the performers at this moment are not the Violet Song and Dance Troupe.

Shutting through the crowd, while tasting fine wine and fresh fruits that are rare in winter, Xiuyi was doing her own little tricks.

No one noticed that in his aimless walk, he had almost covered all corners of the entire deck.

From time to time, some white powder would spill out from the seam of his trousers, fall on the red carpet, seep in, and gradually become invisible. Occasionally, Xiuyi would throw a small stone into a certain corner like a playful boy. They looked inconspicuous, only shining faintly in the dark.

The nobles were chatting with each other, and the men were talking about the current situation in the country. I heard that the Frank Empire and the Georgia Empire were preparing to counterattack the Lance Empire, and Strick VI had once again mobilized troops to prepare for a large-scale battle.

The women chatted among themselves about the weather, the clothes, and what kind of dandies and scandals had recently appeared in a certain family.

Perhaps because he was curious about the sudden appearance of a young man with an unfamiliar face on such an important occasion, or because he was attracted by Xiu Yi's handsome and delicate appearance, many noble ladies and ladies cast enthusiastic glances at him.

"I thought I wouldn't see another boy at today's reception, but I didn't expect that there would be such an outstanding and handsome boy," a noble lady looked at Xiu Yi and said with a chuckle, beside her were also several young noble ladies or young ladies.

What caught Xiu Yi's eyes was one of the ladies.

She was standing among a large group of noble ladies and ladies, but when any man's eyes fell on her, he would immediately stop looking at her and stop at her.

She has a pair of eyes that are as bright as jewels, shining like stars in the dark night.

She was wearing a court dress made of purple fabric, a large piece of white skin was exposed at the low round neckline, a string of precious diamond necklaces shone brightly around her neck, her long hair curled naturally and hung down on her shoulders, reflecting her pointed chin and beautiful face.

Compared with those aristocratic wives in fancy clothes, this lady's dress looks much simpler, but she is also more tasteful. She is leaning against a long dining table, holding her right arm with her left hand, and holding an agate-colored wine glass in her right hand, which contains bright red fruit wine.

The beauty of a woman sometimes needs to be expressed through multiple aspects such as clothing, behavior, conversation, and actions. Women who only rely on their faces to please men are actually the lowest level. Real beauties know how to use every inch of their body to attract men, including their every move.

The lady in front of her was undoubtedly of this type. She was very good at displaying her talent and using some subtle tricks to bring out her beauty to the fullest.

Just by looking at it, Xiuyi can be sure that just the posture of holding the wine glass needs countless exercises to achieve the natural roundness like the lady in front of her, which is completely in line with her own demeanor.

Compared with her, Daisy and Lanti are like little girls who ran out of the countryside. Although they also have beautiful appearances, they obviously don't know how to express themselves more perfectly.

Compared with those aristocratic ladies who regard such occasions as showing off their wealth, the lady in front of him has turned this place into a stage for her own charm.

And beside her, surrounded by a large number of young nobles, most of them are the heirs of a certain family, and at this moment, they are taking the opportunity to surround this girl and show their hospitality.

Out of politeness, after hearing the previous lady's teasing, Xiu Yi made a gentlemanly bend towards the other party, and then said politely: "If you are referring to the inconvenience caused by the lord's arrest today, then I admit that I did encounter some small troubles before I came to the reception."

"Oh, then how did you get out of this trouble," the noble lady who spoke earlier asked curiously.

"It was the Brownies who proved it for me," Huey replied.

"So you are a guest invited by the master," the lady said with a smile, "I thought you were..."

She didn't go on, Xiu Yi already understood the hidden meaning in her words, she must have thought that she was a little lover brought by a noble lady, and brought him here today to meet the world.

The obscene life of the upper class made almost everyone in the aristocratic circle have their own lover, not only men, but even women often sang. Xiuyi was not surprised that the other party had such a misunderstanding, so he just nodded slightly and planned to retreat.

The lady said with a smile: "I hope the lord will catch that nasty Hugh Igles soon, otherwise you may have to rely on the Brownie family's certificate to go out."

An aristocratic young man wearing a silver bow tie next to him immediately said: "With the ability of the lord, I believe this is not difficult,"

Xiu Yi lowered her head and thought for a while, then said leisurely, "I think this is also not an easy task."

,,,,,,,,,,.

Add a sentence to yourself, and to everyone: If your enemies attack you maliciously, then they hope that you will lose your mind and do worse. If you are fooled and tricked, just follow his will. When you are angry, they are laughing. The best counterattack is to be yourself and do a better job, so that you are worthy of yourself and your friends who support you.

If you support Fate, please believe in Fate, Fate will definitely write better and better, and will never be easily messed up by anyone. Just a few slanderous words can't defeat me. I am not that tender, but the other party is too naive.

The second part is coming to an end, and the ending of this part will have a climax as always. I believe that Fate will definitely satisfy everyone.
