Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 43: Saying Goodbye

It's like a dream, everything is so unreal.

The person was in the air, hugging Xiu Yi's neck tightly, Avril looked at Xiu Yi obsessively: "Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi, is it really you?"

"Yes, it's me, Avril Lavigne. As I promised, I came to see you." Xiu Yi whispered in Avril Lavigne's ear.

The angel's wings flapped powerfully in the air, bringing out a strong back wind, which made Avril's hair messy.

But at this moment, she only had Xiu Yi in her eyes, and she was in a state of ecstasy, as if she was in heaven, and she was a little confused for a while.

The blazing bird flew from the sky, surrounded the two of them from left to right, and chirped cheerfully, as if they were proud, because the blessings of lovebirds never fail.

She once imagined that her Prince Charming could ride the clouds to marry her. At this moment, the dream came true. Avril looked at the ground under her feet, and everything became so small.

Suddenly there is a feeling of fear.

"Hui...I'm scared."

"With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." Xiu Yi said softly.

Having said that, Huey still lowered the height. At this time, he had already flown away from the palace and landed on the roof of a bell tower.

Avril Lavigne still held Xiuyi's neck and refused to let go.

She was deeply afraid that it was a dream, once she let go, the dream would wake up.

Xiuyi helplessly patted Avril who was hanging on her body like a koala: "Come down, Avril, I have something to tell you."

"No!" The little girl bit her lip and shook her head desperately, staring at Xiu Yi.

"Since I came to you, I won't leave easily."

Sometimes a promise can go a long way.

Avril finally came down.

She stared at Xiu Yi obsessively for a long time, and suddenly threw herself into Xiu Yi's arms and burst into tears.

Avril burst into tears, crying hysterically, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered these days. She was crying so much, so much water stains on Xiuyi's chest, so indulgent and unreasonable as she was crying, like a child acting like a baby...

For so many days and nights, I kept thinking about Xiu Yi, thinking about the little girl so much that I was going crazy. She has already recognized her thoughts, she loves Xiu Yi and cannot live without him.

"You bastard!" Avril beat Xiuyi desperately: "Why? Why do you want to do this!"

"You know the answer, don't you?" Huey sighed softly.

"I want to listen to you." The girl insisted.

Looking at Avril Lavigne's infatuated eyes, Xiuyi finally softened her heart.

Avril Lavigne was a little tired from crying, so she just lay in Xiu Yi's arms. The two sat together on the bell tower, looking into the distance.

Huey began to tell the stories of those times, all the dirty tricks, plots and tricks hidden behind the scenes, all the means to survive.

If it was before, Avril would have been indifferent when she heard these things, or she might have shouted that servants should sacrifice their lives for nobles.

But now, Avril won't think so anymore.

The thousands of fables taught Avril Lavigne to understand a lot of truths, making her gentle, sensible, and able to understand others.

When Xiu Yi talked about what happened in the valley, Avril Lavigne was bleak and lay trembling in Xiu Yi's arms.

When he mentioned that he used Avril to frame Pierre, Avril didn't say a word, but her little hand touched Xiu Yi's ribs, pinched and scratched fiercely, Xiu Yi didn't resist, just let her do what she did.

When he was about to escape from Purgatory Island by himself, Avril Lavigne's face was exactly like this.

All the truth finally came to light, but Avril Lavigne was not surprised.

As Xiu Yi said, she had already guessed it, and now she just wanted to hear Xiu Yi's own confirmation.

She sobbed softly and fell into Xiu Yi's arms: "I'm very sad, Xiu Yi...why did this happen...."

Holding Avril's shoulder lightly, Xiu Yi whispered: "No one can change what has happened. I'm sorry that I deceived you and used you. I once hoped to forget you, and I hope you can forget me..."

"Then why are you still looking for me?"

"Because I'm leaving, I plan to leave Winnington in a few days. Before I leave, I want to meet you, have a few words with you, and ask you to bring a few words to your father," he said.

Avril Lavigne looked at Xiu Yi in surprise.

"Yes Avril, I'm going away for a while... I need to get stronger."

"No, Xiu Yi! I won't let you leave!" Avril grabbed Xiu Yi tightly and refused to let go: "Hui Yi, don't continue to avenge my father, okay? I can go and tell my father that he will stop arresting you. You can be free!"

Xiu Yi smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, what I need is not this."

"What is that? Is there really no peace? Why can't we sit down and talk?"

"Talk? There is no fairness in negotiating under the condition of unequal power. Avril, you should understand this truth. If I want a fair negotiation, I must first demonstrate equal strength. Your father wants to obtain all the resources and alchemy from me for free, and I plan to make the country admit the crimes that have been committed without paying any price. The gap between our demands on each other is too great, and there is almost no possibility of reconciliation. I believe that what I want is justice and fairness. But your father Don’t think like that. So, it’s hard, very hard.”

Avril wanted to cry in despair. She felt dizzy for a while.

She whimpered and said, "Why is this happening. I hate everything now. I miss my days on Purgatory Island, Huey, but I know you won't. For you, that experience was painful, even with me, right?"

She looked up at Xiu Yi: "So you won't give up any of your demands for me."

Huey sighed.

Looking at Avril, Xiuyi said seriously: "You are fine, Avril. You used to be savage, self-willed, and unreasonable, but now, I see a girl who has grown up. You have become mature and sensible, and I like you very much. Unfortunately, Xiuyi is no longer the Xiuyi in the past. It is impossible to accompany you every day, and it is impossible to please you all the time. The Xiuyiglier you like has completely disappeared and does not exist in this world. So... If you are with me, You will not be happy, you will only be disappointed."

Avril looked at Xiu Yi blankly.

is that so?

Yes, it turns out that Xiu Yi is no longer the former Xiu Yi.

Since he left Purgatory Island, he no longer has to humble himself to survive. He has become strong, assertive, and no longer needs orders from others.

She is a princess, can she adapt to such a change?

Does she like Xiu Yi who always brings her laughter on Purgatory Island, Xiu Yi who maintains self-esteem in humiliation, and brings her various interesting programs and stories, or this Xiu Yi who is a little strange now, has his own plan, and just wants the empire to bow to him?

She couldn't even explain it herself.

Suddenly, she didn't want to mention any more sad things, and Avril just lay quietly in Xiuyi's arms, looking at the starry sky in the distance, chatting casually with each other.

"Hui." She called softly.

"kindness?"

"The starry sky is so beautiful."

"Yes."

"You said there are Altair and Vega in the sky? Which two are they?"

"They... are far, far away."

"Then it should be those two." Avril Lavigne pointed to the two brightest stars in the distance.

"Perhaps, but they are actually very far away from each other."

"No matter how far away, we can always see each other once a year, can't we?"

"……Yes."

"What allowed them to endure such a long time without seeing each other?"

"It's hope, it's love."

"I know what love is." Avril whispered, snuggling into Xiu Yi's arms.

She closed her eyes and murmured: "Love is beautiful, but not being able to meet each other is painful. What is more painful than that is... Even if we meet, we cannot be together."

Xiu Yi lowered her head and said nothing.

Today, he is no longer Hugh Igleser on Purgatory Island.

He no longer needs to shout "His Royal Highness" in a low voice; he no longer needs to find excuses every time he does something; he no longer needs to worry about any consequences.

Similarly, Avril Lavigne has also grown up and become sensible. She is no longer as savage and human as before, on the contrary, she has become more beautiful, more gentle, and even knows how to love.

As a result, the relationship between the two people has become hazy, and the way of getting along in the past is no longer applicable, so that no one knows how to do it.

"Lies are always good, right Huey?" Avril Lavigne said softly. Her hand tugged at the corner of Xiu Yi's clothes.

"……Yes."

"Then... tell me another story, Huey. I want to hear you tell me a story."

"Let me think."

"Just tell me the story of the mermaid."

Xiu Yi froze: "Didn't you hear that?"

"I still want to hear it, I want to listen to you again." Avril looked at Xiu Yi and said with certainty.

Xiuyi thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, let me tell you. A long, long time ago..."

The story is not too long, but very moving.

The mermaid princess fell in love with a prince. In order to be with him, she asked the wizard to magically transform her fish body into human legs. But the price of this magic is that she can no longer speak, and every step she takes is painful like a knife. For the prince in her heart, the mermaid princess endured all this. But the final result was that her beloved prince was with another girl. With a broken heart, the mermaid princess returned to the sea.

Xiu Yi spoke very seriously, and Avril Lavigne listened attentively.

In the past, Avril Lavigne shed tears more than once for the mermaid princess. She always yelled at the prince as an idiot and a fool, and even yelled that she would ask her father to send troops to attack the country where the prince was, and to hang the prince.

But now, she finally understood.

This is love. There may not be rewards for giving. All the pain and joy come only from your own feelings.

Just like Xiuyi, make her laugh and cry.

After the story was told, the two were relatively speechless.

Xiu Yi hugged Avril just like that, feeling the breath in her hair.

She closed her eyes slightly and said softly, "Xiu Yi, kiss me."

Huey's heart skipped a beat.

Gently, press your lips on Avril Lavigne's delicate lips.

A piece of ice cold.

"If love can give everything willingly for the other party, then you have never loved me, right?" Avril uttered a cold sentence, and she stood up from Xiuyi's arms: "I am very glad that you came to see me today, Xiuyi. But time is running out, send me back. If you want me to tell it, I will tell my father. As for the future... I hope I can forget you."

Looking at Xiu Yi, Avril's eyes were extremely firm and she said: "I will give you a last gift. Raschel has epilepsy. If you want to deal with him, you can think of a way from this aspect. But even if you win one Raschel, there will still be more Raschels chasing you. As you said, I don't think my father has any reason to bow to you."

———————————————

Avril went back.

Xiu Yi sent her to the gate of the palace, then hid in the dark and watched her leave.

For Huey, today is an unforgettable day.

In the battle on Qingshui Street, Xiu Yi played all his cards, but in the end he was attacked by Hampton, and he was hit by Feidun high-altitude and could not come down.

He had a deep understanding in his heart, knowing that although this world has not yet reached the point where a single person can sweep the world, a truly strong person can still play a key role in turning things around on many occasions.

He found that although he had benefited from his past thinking and had a great grasp of human heart and human nature, he was also limited by his past thinking.

In the past world, organizational power was the only way to become powerful, but in the world of magic, the power of a few powerful people is sometimes equivalent to the power of an army.

Although he understands this truth, there are many truths that are not only enough to understand. His habit of thinking still stays on the earth, and he still doesn't have enough understanding and actions to seriously develop his own strength. Therefore, in the year since he left Purgatory Island, his own strength growth has always been limited.

What happened today made Xiu Yi completely understand himself. In this magical world, he still needs a stronger force to support himself.

It was for this reason that he finally decided to see Avril Lavigne.

He knew he had broken Avril's heart, but he had no choice.

The blazing bird in the sky circled and flew down.

Xu jumped off Hong's body, and he threw himself into Xiu Yi's arms, noticing a trace of tears in Xiu Yi's eyes: "Are you sad? Dad."

"It's just sand in."

"Did the little princess make you sad?"

"No, I was actually hurting her."

"I don't understand why you would do that."

"Because it's better for her." Xiu Yi replied lightly: "It can make her give up, so she doesn't have to waste herself in fantasies and waiting."

Xu shook his little head curiously: "I don't understand why love is so strange. Red, green, is this love?"

Red and Green barked twice.

Then Xu said to Xiu Yi: "They said their love is not that complicated."

Xiu Yi smiled bitterly: "Yes, so red and green are happy. The trouble of human beings is that they always like to ask for trouble."

"why?"

"Maybe it's because... Desire makes us lost, wisdom makes us greedy, and emotion makes us weak..." Xiuyi replied in a low voice: "Xu, you have human creativity and wisdom, then one day, you will understand. Remember what your father gave you: learn to cherish and love those you love."

"So are you doing this to cherish and love her?"

Xiu Yi hesitated: "Maybe, maybe not. Because if I can't make Avril give up on me, then I won't be able to force the Lance Empire to fulfill my request. If I can't continue to use various means to achieve my goal, then everything I have done will be meaningless. Everything I have done in the past year since I left Purgatory Island... will become worthless."

"But you also said that the biggest flaw of human beings is that they don't know what to give up and what not to give up. Obviously, the decision you made was to maintain the correctness of the past and give up the happiness of the future. Is it really right for you to do this?"

Huey was stunned.

After thinking for a while, he said: "There is too much gap between me and her. Even if we are really together, we may not be able to be happy. After all, I am no longer the Hugh Igleser I used to be, and the Hugh Igleser she likes is the Hugh Igleser who is obedient to her and always coaxes her to follow her."

The blazing birds cried out in unison.

Xu immediately said: "Red said: Love is a test that both sides face together. Since Avril loves you, you should let her face the problem together. Green said: The woman you love must be protected by yourself. Even if you are no longer Xiu Yi in the past, it does not mean that you will no longer love her. It's just that the love in the past was for other purposes, and the love in the future will come from the heart."

"They also said: You don't need a reason to love someone, and you don't need a reason to give up someone. Therefore, all your reasons are invalid. You are just deceiving yourself, because you are afraid that your love for her will make you unable to deal with the enemy cruelly."

"They finally said that their blessings have always been effective. You and the little princess are destined not to be separated. You must believe in the power of magic and blessings, silly father."

Xiu Yi stared blankly at Xu and Blazing Bird, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

Is that so?

Love is the contribution of both parties, and it also needs to go through tests.

No reason can be a reason to refuse to love, because love needs to be tested, and it also needs faith.

Xiu Yi was at a loss.

The communication crystal in her arms suddenly made a sound, and Xiuyi opened the crystal to see that it was Chakle.

"I have something very important to talk to you, Xiuyi." Chakle said solemnly.

"If you want an antidote, don't worry. With your ability, you can suppress it for a while. I have to go to the palace first. Buckle sent a message asking us all to return to the Royal Garden. This is a joint order issued by the Royal and the Legal Affairs Bureau and must be obeyed."

"It's not about understanding the medicine, Xiu Yi. Before going to the palace, you'd better come to me first. I want to introduce you to a friend, who may be helpful to your current situation, and he can give you what you need."

"who is it?"

Chakle gently said a name, and Xiuyi was immediately stunned.

After thinking about it, he said, "I'll come right here."
