Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 29 The Eye of the Typhoon

The news that the prince of the Frank Empire is coming soon and will marry the princess of the Lance Empire will soon spread in Winnington.

This brings countless fresh topics to the people.

People like to discuss family affairs after tea and dinner. Just like some time ago, people were discussing that the Dardanelles bought the Misty Castle. This time, people began to discuss the topic of marriage between the two countries.

What is surprising is that the legendary family that bought the Misty Castle will also attend the reception banquet hosted by Her Royal Highness the Little Princess for Prince Frank.

So there was a rumor that a new aristocrat was about to appear in Winnington.

As a result, the Dardanelle family's entry into the high society went very smoothly. Huo Ding, as the best liar, wandered among the dignitaries, tried his best to promote the family behind him, and tried to imprint the name of Dardanelle deep into the hearts of every nobleman.

It is a long-term thing to fully integrate into the upper class and gain the recognition of people at this level, but if you just want everyone to know yourself, talk about yourself, and leave an impression on yourself, it is not so difficult.

The invitation of the little princess is undoubtedly a very successful campaign for the Dardanelles. In just three days, the Dardanelles have already been welcomed by celebrities from all walks of life. Some aristocrats began to inquire about the situation of Sissy Darnell, some matchmakers began to sell girls from a certain family, and invitations to banquets from some higher levels began to increase significantly.

As for the Dodge Company and the San Marino Company, they have already negotiated on the land. They hope to take the land as soon as possible, and then open the alchemy factory.

Hugh Igleser has come up with some advanced improved technologies. If these products can be mass-produced, they will be enough to make everyone rich.

In addition, under the care of two large commercial firms, the Dardanelle family bought a shop in a prime location, and had the family's first stable business channel.

In fact, before this, the so-called nouveau riche family didn't even have a store, and there were only two things that supported the family's confidence - Xiuyi's alchemy and the financial support of the Weston family.

However, empty-handed white wolves are always just a temporary excessive policy, and any big family needs to have enough foundations to develop.

Huey decided that before the alchemy factory was completed, the Dardanelles would have at least three shops and a large workshop in Warrington, as well as a pastoral estate. Handing over all these matters to Huoding, it is planned to be completed within three months.

Originally, it was only intended to help Christine solve some business troubles, but as various things happened, the Dardanelles wanted to settle down and take root here, which was something that Xiuyi hadn't thought of at the beginning.

Although the development of the family is going smoothly, tests from the dark are also coming one after another.

Raschel, who has been forbearance, is finally about to make a move.

————————

Three days later, at Winnington Palace, a grand welcoming ceremony officially began.

The prince of the Frank Empire came to the Lance Empire in person, with a total of 2,800 followers, including a guard of 1,400 people, a convoy of 300 people for transportation, and a servant team of as many as 1,700 people. The entire convoy stretched out a thousand-meter long dragon, attracting tens of thousands of people to watch when it entered the city.

The guards of the Frank Empire can be said to be quite gorgeous. Walking in front of the team was a tall and mighty standard-bearer, wearing golden armor all over his body, and the horse under his crotch was the most outstanding purebred gray zebra from Frank's native land.

Behind the flag bearer, six hundred cavalry guards were wearing black battle armor, with protruding ferocious spikes on their shoulders, holding a cavalry shield in their left hand, and a long lance in their right hand, extending to two horse positions. Behind them, they wore a white cloak with the iconic star and moon pattern of the Frank Empire almost to the ground, showing a majestic and majestic image.

Behind the 600 cavalry, there are 800 infantry, of which 200 are sword and shield soldiers, holding large infantry shields in their hands. This kind of infantry shield is much wider than the cavalry shield. It is as high as a person's shoulder, wide at the top and pointed at the bottom. It can be inserted into the ground to form a tight shield formation. Their armor is thick, the kind of heavy infantry armor with fine magic lines engraved on it, which is obviously specially reinforced.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers are heavy spearmen, a team of archers, and finally a team of magicians with a number of up to a hundred. The whole team drove slowly across Winnington Avenue with a gorgeous convoy in the middle. Facing a large number of watching people, they remained unmoved in the slightest, fully demonstrating their excellent military qualities.

Behind this team is the huge transport convoy, with loads of goods transported into the city, with no end in sight.

In order to welcome Prince Frank, the Lance Empire even gave a very grand welcome scene.

The entrance of the city gate is covered with flowers, the tree branches are covered with ribbons, and on both sides are choirs from the church singing carols.

The two empires that fought life and death not long ago showed the highest etiquette at this moment, as if they had become the most irresistible friends...

That night, Winnington Palace held a grand dinner for Prince Frank Richard.

After the dinner, the little princess Avril invited Prince Richard to her bedroom, where Her Royal Highness the Little Princess prepared another welcome banquet for His Highness the Prince.

"Amelia, what do you think of this?" Richard asked the girl beside him on the way to the bedroom. This woman was the girl who had met the Dardanelles as the Aite family back then.

Richard himself was a tall, muscular young man with imposing blond curly hair. It is said that the prince was also a distinguished general in the Frank Empire, and he once commanded his country's army to fight many outstanding battles. Not every heir to the empire is incompetent, at least for the Frank Empire, although they lost the war, they are obviously much better than the Lance Empire in terms of heirs.

If it weren't for the promise and guarantee of the Church of the Holy Spirit and Richard's own insistence, perhaps the Frank monarch would never let his most beloved son set foot on the territory of the enemy country. Although the peace agreement is about to be signed, both the Lance and the Franks still define each other as enemies in their bones.

Walking in this land full of enemies, you must be extra careful when you speak and do things.

Amelia is the special envoy sent by the Franks to stand up for the prince. Few people know that this girl with a pure appearance is a well-known mastermind in the Frank Empire, in charge of the most deterrent assassination force in the Frank Empire - the Blood Night Knights.

"Maybe... I want to see what kind of person my future husband is." After thinking for a while, Amelia replied.

Richard laughed: "Amelia, I am not a person who only listens well. The truth is more meaningful to me. On the battlefield, if my soldier gives me the answer I need with a perfunctory attitude, then he will be executed."

Amelia replied immediately: "I am not your soldier, and my duty here is not to protect you."

"Yes, the way of the Blood Night Knights is always to attack, attack, and attack again. I know the purpose of your arrival, but this does not prevent you from making some small judgments on Princess Avril's behavior, does it?"

After thinking for a while, Amelia said: "I don't know what Her Highness Princess Avril means, but according to the information I got, Princess Avril has someone else in her heart."

"Oh?" Prince Richard raised his eyebrows, he was not surprised by this, nor was he angry. Political marriage can buy out a person's life, but not their feelings. Avril Lavigne may be beautiful, but he may not necessarily be obsessed with it. Feelings are very strange things. Before fate comes, no one can tell who they will fall in love with. What amazed him was that if it was just for this reason, it shouldn't make it so difficult for Amelia to answer, so he looked at his most capable subordinate and asked in a deep voice, "Then what?"

Amelia replied quickly: "The person she likes is likely to be directly related to my mission."

"Hugh Iglesia?" Richard's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp: "Have you found him?"

"Not yet, but we have news that Hugh Igles will be in Winnington. Maybe he's in the city now."

Richard nodded.

For the Franks, Hugh Igleser is undoubtedly a lucky star. If there was no Royo City incident, the Franks might still be fighting to the death with the Lance Empire Army.

As one of the former commanders, Richard still can't forget the bloody scenes on the battlefield. Those terrifying monsters with blade bones all over their bodies, those mechanical puppets that seemed to never fall down. When they are alone, they are not very powerful, but when they appear in thousands, even Sanctuary can only retreat.

The Frank Empire once doubted where the Lance Empire got so many resources to make a large number of golems. It wasn't until last year that a wanted teenager committed a shocking case in Fragrant Leaf City that shocked the world, and the name of Hugh Igles finally gradually appeared in front of the Frank people.

They began to inquire about news in various ways, and gradually realized that this is a young man who has the ability to change the destiny of a country.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Little Princess once went to the legendary Purgatory Island, and met Hugh Iglesel on the island. Since then, Her Highness the Little Princess has been infatuated with this young man. Of course, these are just rumors in the palace. You know that many of the rumors are not true, but many of them are true. For us, it is not difficult to get news, and it is the most difficult to distinguish the true from the false." Amelia said to Richard.

"So what do you think of the degree of authenticity?"

Amelia said quickly: "From the information we have so far, the things about Purgatory Island are basically all facts. Hugh Igleser has many powerful alchemy skills, the most valuable of which is space, which has been confirmed. What is being verified is his production technology in golem. The news from Royo City is that Hugh Igleser used at least two kinds of strange golems in that battle, and also turned a sky warrior into a killing machine. But Hugh Iglesia and Ivy The matter between the son and daughter can never be verified."

Richard thought for a while and said: "Whether Avril likes Huey is not important, what is important is whether Hugh Igles has that kind of thought for Avril. Judging from his behavior, I think Avril has little influence on him, but this is not necessarily the case. An outstanding man will clearly distinguish between public and private, and treat reason and emotion differently. Hugh Igles may be such a person. If that is the case, things will be much easier. Maybe I can get some information about him from the princess. Oh yes, You have come so long in advance, you should have some specific goals, right?"

Amelia: "On our way to Winnington, we met a family. There was a very interesting young man there. I felt that he was very similar to Xiu Yiglier. Unfortunately, I had never met Xiu Yi before, so I couldn't be sure, but I have already sent someone to check their details. The problem is that I don't have enough people, and I still have limited information."

"I will send a group of people to help you complete the task. This matter is more important than marrying the princess. If we can get the alchemy in the hands of Hugh Igles..." Richard's face became stern and deep, and he looked up at the sky: "Even if we start the war again, it's nothing special."

———————————

When dusk fell, Huey, Brian Buckler, Christine, and Lilith came to the Winnington Royal Garden.

This is where Avril Lavigne held a grand welcome ball.

The sky is full of gorgeous ribbons, and the lights with magical flames turn the entire royal garden into a garden that never sleeps, shining beautifully.

People lit a bonfire in the open space in the center of the garden, set up long tables, and waiters in white and gold-rimmed waiters walked around, busy serving the visitors.

Xiuyi slowly took out the invitation card and handed it to the guard: "The Dardanelle family."

The guard looked at the invitation carefully, and then at Xiu Yi: "Sissy Darnell?"

"Exactly."

"Please accept the inspection."

"no problem."

After checking, the guard gave Huey four masks.

"What does this mean?" Xiu Yi was slightly taken aback.

"His Royal Highness's arrangement is called a Masquerade Ball. Her Royal Highness hopes to give Prince Frank a special welcome party. All guests will wear masks, and no one will be allowed to take off the mask before ordering to remove the mask. She thinks this will increase the mystery of the guests and the fun of the dance. Everyone can guess who is under the mask at will, and use words to test each other, but no one can take the initiative to reveal their identity until the mask is taken off."

"So... that's it." Xiu Yi took over the mask with a calm expression.

What was sent to him was a little devil with ferocious sharp horns.

Xiu Yi slowly put on the demon mask, turned around and said to the people behind him, "Let's go in."

At the same time, at the other side door of the palace, Raschel, an old hound, was exempt from inspection and directly led people in. The one who greeted him was Padgett, the commander of the guards next to the princess. Raschel brought only one follower to the meeting this time, which was Chakle.

Not long after the two entered, the Marquis of Barryman was also invited to the palace to participate in this reception ball. Perhaps it was due to etiquette, or maybe it was entrusted by others, so he brought his etiquette teacher Baron Harden and his family.

Julia, who saw the palace for the first time, exclaimed "So the palace is so big!", which drew the baron's severe reprimand.

The courting envoy with ulterior motives, the cunning imperial hound, the deeply affectionate imperial princess, and the Harden family who have given him a lot of help. Guests from all directions finally gathered at this moment, forming a huge turbulent flow. The Winnington Royal Garden Ball is like the eye of a typhoon. Before it really blows up, it is still covered with a layer of gentle and romantic tulle. Once the wind is surging, it will definitely sweep the Quartet.
