Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 21: Secret transaction

The sea of ​​death is still so lifeless, except for the Freedom once a month, there is no one else in and out.

Gong Hao was sitting on the port of Purgatory with her knees, looking at the seabirds flying in the distance.

It has been three months since the little princess left.

Since Ai Weier left, Gong Hao clearly felt the changes in the attitude of others around him.

If everyone used to look at themselves before, perhaps with some admiration or admiration, then now everyone sees their eyes with a little awe.

Yes, it was in awe. The servants gave him awesome eyes. This was something the other servants had never enjoyed. Even Andrew spoke politely to him.

Prior to that, although Gong Hao's work has always been satisfactory to Andrew, why did he say to Gong Hao: "How is the work today? If you need anything, just tell me. Xiuyi, you've met me. The best servant. "So?

He no longer called Gong Hao's last name, but called his name affectionately.

In addition, Andrew even specifically allowed him to move freely when nothing was going on.

So now Gong Hao can sit in the port so easily and look into the distance.

Before that, he wanted to come to the port once, and even asked Cather to be a deliveryman.

In just one year, Seth was gone, but he became the most powerful servant on the island.

But what about that?

The most powerful ants are still just ants, and the most powerful servants are still only servants.

Andrew looked at him differently because even in that situation, he had never given up his responsibilities, and did everything in his duty seriously. But if he dares to openly slack off in the name of a "guardian knight" that does not meet the legal status, and even disrespects his master, he is fully convinced that Hines will throw him into Death Canyon without hesitation, even if Avril is angry Hines will not be afraid.

Strike VI may kill a number of ministers for his daughter, but he will never kill an alchemist who was important to the empire for a servant.

So Gong Hao is as dedicated as ever.

He goes to hunt with Lancelot every morning, and spends noon in the library. Now that some apprentices need to look for data, Gong Hao does not even need to read the book, but can tell them the answer directly.

In the afternoon, Gong Hao was responsible for inspecting the work of servants in various regions, reminding them of matters to pay attention to, arranging their respective responsibilities, and monitoring and recording the work performance of everyone.

In the evening, he always came to the port by himself, watching the sea here, although the sea was so uninteresting.

At that time, he would ask himself, as a servant, has he reached the peak of his step?

The answer is no.

But the problem is that if you want to go further than the current foundation, it is equally difficult.

He hopes that he can break through the status of servant and enter the core circle of Purgatory Island. But his identity fettered him, and even if he valued him too much, he would not consider him an apprentice.

One day is a servant, a lifetime is a servant!

The concept of hierarchy is deep-rooted and cannot be changed so easily.

Fink hurriedly came over from the castle, came to the port, and shouted after seeing Gong Hao: "Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi!"

Gong Hao turned his head: "What happened?"

"They're taking me away, and Liberty will be here in five days. They said no one can ever do a year on Purgatory Island, so I must go. I don't know where I'm going, Andrew doesn't tell me. But I don't want to leave you. "

"Andrew didn't say I could walk?"

"He said you wouldn't leave because the little princess said he would see you next year, and Andrew was happy with you, and he said you would be the only exception."

Speaking of this, Fink was a bit bitter. He looked at Gong Hao: "Xiu Yi, I don't want to leave you. You have taken care of me a lot this year ... I know. You said last time that you couldn't live without me ... Actually ... Actually, I can't live without you. I know you said it on purpose. "

Fink's voice was choked and tears flashed in his eyes.

Gong Hao stared blankly at Fink, for a moment, a little dazed.

He had mentioned it with Andrew, hoping to keep Fink, but Andrew said nothing at the time.

At that time he knew the situation was a little bad.

Sure enough, the bad news is coming today, Fink is going to be taken away.

Following Heather, another friend is about to leave.

Poor Fink, he doesn't know what kind of encounter he will face, and his tears are now just because he can't bear to be friends.

Gong Hao walked over and flicked Fink: "Fink, my friend, do you believe me?"

"I have always believed in you."

"Then I will tell you a story now, you must keep it in mind."

"Oh, yes."

"The story is simple, there are a group of rabbits that will be taken away by the hunter. The hunter will kill them and eat them. He always kills one, eats another ... kills one ... eats another ..."

"I don't understand, Xiuyi, this story is not awful at all."

"Listen to me, Fink, one of the rabbits is desperate. It has to find a way to escape. But it has no chance. What do you say it should do?"

"Rebel?" Fink asked.

Gong Hao shook his head and said, "No, it's waiting. For those rabbits, although living is a torture, as long as it is alive, it has at least hope."

"You mean ... wait? Shouldn't you be fighting?"

"No, it is not a fight. Fighting will make the hunter harder, and the rabbit cannot be more powerful than the hunter. So you must be silent, pretend to die, wait, try to live, and then suddenly escape when the hunter is paralyzed. If you ca n’t do that, you have to drag your time. As a rabbit to be slaughtered, if you ca n’t resist, then at least let yourself be the last one to enter the pan. Remember, before you enter the pan There is always hope. "

"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Fink was confused.

Gong Hao sighed: "I can't bear you, Fink. Remember my story, but don't tell anyone to listen. If one day, you are in danger, I mean if ... then even if you can't avoid it, at least Learn to delay. "

"and then?"

"Pray," Gong Hao answered.

Fink went back confused, he didn't understand what Gong Hao was talking about.

Gong Hao couldn't make it too clear. If he told Fink that all the servants taken away would be killed, he would be frightened. Fink couldn't fool Andrew's eyes, he was too tender.

Still sitting alone by the sea, Gong Hao looked at the sky infatuatedly.

Sisser was gone, and Fink was leaving. One friend after another is about to leave him.

Yesterday was Heather, today is Fink, and tomorrow may be his turn.

As long as you are a servant, you cannot escape this fate!

Maybe it's time to take the initiative.

He must break through the shackles of servanthood, or he will never escape the threat of death!

Now that he's shot, the chances of success may not be great, but there is still a chance to save Fink's life.

After thinking for a long time, finally made up his mind, he stood up.

He walked towards the castle.

"Master Andrew."

"What's the matter, Gler?" Andrew was doing some alchemy experiments in his own laboratory, and it looked like he was regulating a potion. He didn't look up. "It's my working time. I remember I told you not to come in and disturb me at this time."

"I'm sorry, sir. This is the report for this month. There are a lot of them. I thought it would be better to give them to you in advance."

"Put it on the table over there, I will watch."

"Yes, sir." Gong Hao walked with those documents and records. Turning around and seeing that Andrew didn't care, he gently put a report into a pile of old records. If you don't go through the pile of old records, you won't find the report anyway.

With this done, he left the alchemy tower and walked towards the lake.

At this time, Lancelot was practicing by the lake.

"What? You said that you want to do one week of extreme training starting today?" Lancelot was surprised.

"Yes, I want to be able to do one-week extreme training. I think I'm still too weak."

Lancelot thought and finally nodded: "Okay, I can help you, but do you have that time?"

"I can train at night."

"Then you get up the next day, you're afraid that you will lose your spirit."

"No problem, sir, you don't need to be as strong as last time."

"So okay, it's up to you. But I'll tell you, it's useless for just seven days."

"I understand, Lord Lancelot, but I still hope to be able to receive your training. For me, being able to accept your guidance, even if it is only one more day, is a lifetime of luck."

"You always talk that way, little guy." Lancelot laughed.

Farewell to Lancelot, Gong Hao returned to the castle.

He walked around in various areas first.

In the ninth area, the swordtooth beast saw Gong Hao's arrival and shook his tail excitedly.

"Burke," Gong Hao said, "Toothy seems to miss me."

"Yes, Captain," the new servant respected.

"You go out for a while, and I want to talk to Tooth alone. I'll do it for you."

"Yes."

Gong Hao's eyes gradually became cold as he watched the young man's departure.

He reached for the energy supply spar of the magical cage.

Gently, he replaced a spar that was about to run out of energy.

Out of area 9, he walked to the next area, where there were also some quite fierce large Warcraft.

Do the same.

Five days later.

Fink was taken away, and the Liberty came.

Liberty's main job is to transport all kinds of ore needed for refining large tadpoles, some special materials and servants not produced on the island. At the same time, he takes away his alchemy works from here every month.

In the past year, although Gong Hao has become the servant captain, Gong Hao still insists to go to the port to deliver goods in person at this time of the month.

The ship's guards are interested in the alchemy products on the island. You must know that there are many products that are used by samurai, but they belong to the country only. On Purgatory Island, they can't easily own even a leaf unless they are secretly supplied by a young servant.

For Gong Hao, the guard can also give him some help that others cannot give him.

The cargo was delivered to the ship, and several guards winked at Gong Hao. One of them laughed and said, "Hey, Xiuyi, I'm glad to see you again. You have also been here for a year. Right? "

"Yes, Bailey, but Lord Andrew seems very satisfied with me and hopes that I will continue." Gong Hao answered. He no longer needs to call the guards.

The guard named Bailey laughed, "That's great. You're doing a great job, Xiuyi. I guess it has something to do with the little princess, right? I heard she's blocking you to be her guardian knight. Come. "

"Maybe, but I hope it is because of my hard work."

Bailey seemed to remember something, and patted his head: "Oh, I remember, I have a bottle of wine in the cabin, and to congratulate our lovely children who have worked on Purgatory Island for a year and are about to break the rules and continue to work Maybe we should celebrate. Interested in a drink? Xiu Yi. "

"No problem if you don't drink too much."

"Come with me then."

The two talked and sang, and Bailey gave a color to several companions, and then led Gong Hao to the cabin.

On the way, Bailey whispered, "Is something brought?"

Gong Hao smiled: "Of course, what do I want?"

Bailey lifted his chin and pointed at the cabin: "There it is."

Carefully take out a small piece of crystal clear as red agate from the box, Bailey whispered: "This thing is not easy to handle, I said Xiuyi, this time we took a big risk for you."

"The greater the risk, the greater the return. You need to know that the ultimate use of these things will return to you." Gong Hao laughed: "The real risk is me. There is no benefit to doing things for you. At the risk of being discovered by Lord Andrew. "

Bailey smiled embarrassedly, trying to find something out of his pocket, but was stopped by Gong Hao: "Bailey, you know that money does not make sense on Purgatory Island. Don't use money for me Thanks, okay? "

Bailey quickly nodded: "Good Xiuyi, we are very grateful for your help. In fact, we are just poor warriors, and we do n’t have much money. If I do n’t rely on this thing to make a little money, I am afraid even my Eight wives and twelve children are almost unable to support them. Oh, you know? Xiuyi, do n’t marry too many wives, because that means not only that you have to feed eight women and a bunch of children. It ’s about feeding eight mother-in-laws ... the latter is the most terrible. They have an appetite to swallow a mountain. "

Gong Hao chuckled and laughed.

This is the poor warrior and a little money in their mouth?

Who is able to enter Purgatory Island to perform secret missions? What is not valuable on Purgatory Island? Even some materials can sell for a good price.

Just no amount of money can satisfy their greed.

These insatiable villains.

Since the first trade, the guts of the guards have grown. From ordinary energy spar to rare materials, they dare to bring everything to the island. Of course, the better the things brought, the greater the rebate of Gong Hao.

And this time, they brought something quite valuable.

He took out several bottles of medicine and a small box from his arms. Gong Hao said, "I got a lot of injuries on my body before I got the healing medicine. You should know how much I have suffered for this. There is a bottle of magic recovery Elixir, it took me a lot of effort, I made Andrew mistakenly think he broke a bottle by himself. As for this bottle of poison, it was made from the venom of the variegated python, you should know how to extract How dangerous the venom is, and I can't let anyone know. As for the material in the box, it was easy to hide it from Andrew's eyes. "

"Thank you so much." Bailey took the potions with excitement.

Any of these medicines and materials can be sold at a good price on the underground black market. The most valuable thing is the magic recovery potion, which has no market. As for the healing medicament, it is also very expensive, even if it is left for its own use, it also has a life-saving effect.

This little blond boy is so capable!

"This is what I need next time. See if you can get it?" Gong Hao handed Bailey a list.

Bailey looked at it and shredded. "No problem," he said.

"Thank you, and please do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"It's about Master Hines and the three adults." Gong Hao carefully whispered to Bailey's ear and said, "I want to know about their family."

"What's good for you?"

"Make it easier for them to slap their farts, know what to say, what not to say, build friendships with adults, so if ... I mean, if one day I accidentally make a mistake , Adults can also forgive me. You know, I just want to do better and live happier. I mean, in case something between us is discovered, then maybe ... I can let They opened their eyes and closed their eyes. "

"It is necessary, but it will take time to gather."

"I can wait, but it's better to have it every month. I want the latest information."

"You are really cautious, Xiuyi."

"That is a necessary guarantee of success."

"So, see you next month."

"See you next month."

When Gong Hao left, he asked casually: "Belly, wouldn't you say such things right?"

"It's a loss of head, who dares to say?" Bailey said immediately.

"That's right, this is a big thing to lose your head." Gong Hao said amused, showing a proud smile.
