Almighty Alchemist

"So, we now have a new ally?"

In the fog-hidden castle, Buckler yawned lazily.

After tossing all night, no one thought that the final result would be like this.

Richard Kleiman, Prince of the Frank Empire, confirmed that Sissar Darnell had been with him that night. As for why they were together, Xiu Yi explained that it was actually an instruction from Her Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness the Princess hopes to have more exchanges with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the marriage, but obviously she is not suitable to come forward, and there is no one around her who she can "trust", so she entrusts a very important matter to herself. So Sisther Darnell and Prince Richard came together smoothly.

For this reason, Princess Avril Lavigne herself can confirm it.

She did entrust Master Siserda Daniel to do something - let Prince Frank accept a substitute. Anyway, all they need is an excuse to cede the land and appease the anger of the people.

Of course, neither Xiu Yi himself, nor Princess Avril nor Prince Richard would say what they were talking about specifically, and they would not carelessly ask about matters involving political decision-making.

So the lie came to fruition naturally.

Conversely, those nobles in the upper class who have always been sensitive have heard something.

One, Her Royal Highness the Princess attaches great importance to this young master Dardanelle. Second, Her Royal Highness is dissatisfied with the people around her. Because she lacks someone she can "trust". The statement obviously meant something else, and everyone thought of Padgett.

It seems that Her Royal Highness is very dissatisfied with the commander of her guards.

In addition, Prince Richard seems to admire the young master of the Dardanelles very much, and praises him very much. From this point of view, it also means that Her Royal Highness' commission seems to have been fulfilled by the young heir of the family who has been trying to break into the upper circle.

In other words, after tonight, the Dardanelles have officially risen in the upper circles of the Lance Empire.

There is no support more important than the support of Her Royal Highness, isn't it?

As for Raschel, it is undeniable that he is indeed very capable.

But he still suffered a big defeat - he failed to capture Hugh Iglell, but was defeated by him, resulting in countless casualties. The palace is attacked, the princess is kidnapped, and now she is trying to "frame" a young heir to a family with "no background".

It seems that the next days will be difficult for him.

If before tonight, the Legal Affairs Bureau valued him, Xiu Yi ignored him. Then after tonight, Xiu Yi would value him, but the empire would ignore him.

Only Xiu Yiglaer himself and his friends knew how difficult Raschel was to deal with an old fox.

He only used a few clues to find himself out, and with just one shot, he forced Xiu Yi into a mess, almost destroying the good situation he had managed until now.

But because of this, Xiu Yi realized that he needed to make some changes.

Obviously, compared to just leaving Purgatory Island, Xiu Yi has gone one step further.

He became more steady and planned. Because he already understood a truth.

"The world is not an island. On Purgatory Island, I can only move forward, not back. I have no choice. Once I lose, I die. But in the entire world-wide operation, sometimes we have to prepare for failure. The world is very big. Even if we fail once, as long as we don’t lose our strength, we can make a comeback. This is my biggest realization since I left Purgatory Island." Xiuyi sighed and said: "It’s very fortunate that we can find someone who can save everything in time this time, otherwise our best result now is to fight all the way out of Warrington."

"When did Richard Kleiman contact you?"

"After I sent Avril back..."

Xiu Yi then began to tell what happened that night.

————————

After Avril Lavigne returned to the Royal Garden, Xiu Yi had already planned to set up a teleportation circle, and was ready to escape immediately if she was caught. The reason why he wanted to see Avril first, besides needing her to send a message, was also an important reason that he hoped that she would understand his difficulties, so that when they escaped, it would be relatively easier if they had Avril's secret help.

But what Huey didn't expect was Chakle.

In the battle on Qingshui Street, although Huey failed to eliminate his opponent as planned, he managed to help Chuckle escape. Chakle was able to escape, on the one hand, because Raschel could not detain him on the spot due to the lack of evidence, so that he kept the opportunity to use force, on the one hand, it was because of Huey's shot, and another important reason was that Raschel and others immediately lowered the importance of Chakle after Huey appeared.

But no one expected that while the two parties were wrestling, there was also a star-level powerhouse hiding behind the scenes.

This person is the strong sword-wielding Bihavic who followed the girl Amelia back then—one of the two star warriors of the Frank Empire.

Richard Kleiman is going to marry Avril Lavigne in the Lance Empire, so it is impossible not to have a strong guard by his side. Bihavic is the most important protector, responsible for standing up for the prince and cleaning up all possible potential threats. It's just that what he shoulders is not only the important task of protecting the prince, but also a task even higher than protecting the prince, which is to find Xiu Yiglaer.

For the Frank Empire, the Lance Empire, which used to have ordinary military strength, has developed rapidly and powerfully in military strength in recent years, and half of the reason for this is because they have a huge army of golems. These puppet legions have excellent combat capabilities, and have little need for logistics. They are not afraid of death in battle, and absolutely obey orders. They may not be the most terrifying arms on the frontal battlefield, but they must be the best arms to use. The emergence of the Demon Army as an assassination army has low cost, poisonous means, powerful force, and can avoid fighting spirit searches. It once set off a bloody storm in the Frank Empire and killed countless middle-level legions, which also brought a lot of trouble to the Franks.

The middle and low-level legions are the link for the generals to command the soldiers, but they don't have guards around them like senior generals. Once a large number of them are lost, the command system will be inconvenient during combat.

Two legions, one strengthened the power of the frontal battlefield of the Reims Empire, and the other weakened the power of the enemy. The Frank Empire had a huge national power, but was forced to retreat steadily.

They also tried to find the mysterious origins of these two legions more than once, but there was no result. It wasn't until the appearance of Xiu Yiglaer that rumors began to spread, and the secrets gradually surfaced.

For any country, whoever owns Hugh Igles can greatly increase their military strength.

Thankfully, on this issue, the Reims Empire clearly made a big mistake. They misassessed the seriousness of the situation, thinking that it was impossible for Xiu Yiglaer to escape the pursuit of the empire, and as long as they found him, they could get all the losses back.

So in the beginning, they didn't have the will to negotiate with Xiu Yi.

Of course, it is impossible for any country to negotiate with a fugitive at the beginning. Negotiation is always a means used when force fails to achieve the intended goal.

As a result, they were hit by Hugh Igles one after another.

Xiu Yi's outstanding performance was noticed by the Franks. They adjusted their strategy very smartly. They did not intend to forcibly kidnap Xiu Yi, but decided to use the method of wooing and buying.

That is to say, under this premise, the Franks used intermarriage to cede the three groups of land. Otherwise, how could they so easily agree to the Lance Empire to take away the three groups of land?

To negotiate with Xiu Yi, there must be a domestic heavyweight to show sincerity.

And it is very difficult for such a person to walk freely within the territory of the enemy country, and it is very difficult to keep it completely secret. The best way is to intermarry, and then appear on the territory of the enemy country openly.

So here comes Richard, with a special mission.

Even before his arrival, Amelia, the well-known mastermind of the dark hall of the Frank Empire, came to the Lance Empire with Bihavic one step ahead, looking for Xiu Yilaer everywhere.

When they learned that Xiu Yiglaer publicly threatened to go to Winnington, the joy in their hearts can be imagined.

And when Xiuyi attacked the palace, Richard Kleiman immediately ordered Bihavic to find a way to contact Xiuyi. As an outsider, Bihavic clearly saw that Xiuyi's attack on the palace was only a cover, and he was not yet capable enough to assassinate Emperor Strick. In fact, not only he could see it, but too many people could see that Xiu Yi's attack on the palace was meaningless, but the problem was that except for the Franks, it was impossible for all Lance people to tell. On the contrary, they want to take this opportunity to show their loyalty, so even if they see it, they will only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

This is why Marquis Lentino Jacobs, director of the Legal Affairs Office, agreed to call Raschel's men back immediately - he didn't want to be said in the future that the palace was under attack, and his men were close at hand, but they just didn't rescue them. The reason is because of that ridiculous, Hugh Igles is probably a plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain.

That would be a bargaining chip for his political enemies to attack him.

Whether it's Huey, Marquis Lentino Jacobs, Bihavic, or someone else, most of the noble officials know this very well. This is one willing to fight and one willing to suffer. Shuib set up a scam, and the other party was willing to fall for it, and if he saw it through, he would fall for it. It really was something that no one could do. The only one who was unlucky was Raschel, and all his plans were hit hard by it.

And after Marquis Lentino Jacobs ordered Raschel to return to the palace, Bihavic immediately realized that Raschel's troops were probably Huey's real target, although he didn't know why. But after having this guess, he immediately went to find Raschel's men.

Then he witnessed the battle on the streets of Qingshui with his own eyes.

If he had to hide his identity as a star powerhouse, even Hampton, who is also a star powerhouse, would never be able to find him.

So when Chuckle escaped, he also finally understood what happened.

When Chakle escaped, he even helped secretly, but no one saw it.

When Chakle was out of danger, he originally wanted to find a place to take a good rest, and then think about what to do next when Huey finds him. It was at this time that Bihavic showed up, captured Chakle on the spot, and took him to meet Richard Kleiman.

After assuring Chuckley that the Franks had absolutely no bad intentions towards Hugh Igleser, Chuckley took the initiative to contact Hugh and made an appointment for Richard Kleiman to meet Hugh.

The next thing, began to be a matter of course.

Richard Kleinman hopes to cooperate with Huey and buy some alchemy and special resources from Huey.

"So you promised him?" Lilith asked nervously.

"No." Contrary to Lilith's expectations, Huey shook her head: "Lilith, I'm not a fool, I know what that means. My revenge may bring some trouble and pain to the Lance Empire, but at least it's not a complete disaster. If the Franks become stronger, the nature of the matter will change. They will invade the Lance Empire, destroy the country, and enslave the people here. That Prince Richard seems to be a very shrewd person, but that doesn't mean he will have any good intentions Even though I will kill some people, it does not mean that I will drag all innocent people into the abyss of war. Especially... I have not forgotten why you came to assassinate me in the first place."

He looked at Lilith, smiled and said, "Do you think I will do something to disappoint you?"

Lilith blushed, but her heart was full of sweetness.

Yes, despite being a bandit, Lilith is also a Lance. She doesn't like the royal family of the empire, but she doesn't intend to betray her country.

Retaliating against oneself is one thing, colluding with foreign enemies is another, the nature is completely different and cannot be compared.

"Then why does he still help you?"

Huey replied: "I don't support the Franks coming in, and I also don't support the Lances fighting in the past. For me, it would be a good thing if the two countries can maintain a military balance. So I will not provide them with technology, but I may provide them with some formed puppets to help them just offset the advantages of the Lance Empire. Of course, Prince Richard may not be satisfied with this result, but it is better than me giving nothing. Especially, he also has something to ask for me now."

"whats the matter?"

"Three groups of land." Xiuyi said very seriously: "You don't really believe that the Franks will willingly hand over the three groups of land, right? Even if there is a wedding as an excuse, how many people can they really deceive? If they can, they don't want to hand over a single inch of land. In contrast, marrying Avril is not in the eyes of the Franks. There will never be a beauty in this world who deserves so much land, even if she is an imperial princess."

"So that's the case." Buckler nodded, "Then today, he helped us..."

"One, I helped them force the Lance Empire to give up their territorial claims. Of course, this also requires their own cooperation, as well as Avril's cooperation. Second, I only have scarce resources in my hands, but very few ordinary resources. They provide a large number of ordinary resources, and I provide scarce resources and technology. We cooperate to produce golems. Half of the golems produced belong to them and half to me. Third, the Frank Empire will be our greatest backing from now on. If one day we fail and have nowhere to go, we can flee to the Frank Empire there. , we will become real nobles and have everything we want. This is what I said earlier... a retreat, a retreat prepared for failure."

"I don't want to go to Frank." Lilith said.

"No one wishes to use a retreat, but no one does not wish to have a good retreat."

This makes sense, and Buckler nodded: "I think this is very good. The Franks can provide us with many resources, wealth, and conditions that we don't have. If you master alchemy and only provide finished products, they will always need you and will not betray you. But how do you plan to force the Lance Empire to give up the three groups of land?"

"It's very simple. I gave Richard Kleiman a space ring. The production date is engraved on it, which is this year." Huey said with a smile.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Many things can actually be very simple, it just depends on whether you want to do it or not.

What is the Lance Empire most afraid of? It's not that he can't get the things in Xiu Yi's hands, but that he gave these things to other countries.

A space ring can explain many things, for example, Hugh Igles has become good friends with the Franks.

In this case, Xiu Yi's value was truly reflected. The Lance Empire, which was originally mighty and furious to arrest Xiu Yi and snatch everything back no matter how much it suffered, might really panic and be afraid this time.

In this case, many things really are no longer non-negotiable.

If the three groups of territories are given up, it can be guaranteed that those resources and alchemy will not fall into the hands of the Franks, they may really agree, and Avril's crisis will be resolved.

In fact, at this moment, Richard Kleiman is already in the palace.

He was playing with that ugly and tasteless ring in Christine's words with great interest, showing off in front of Emperor Strick.

Of course, he didn't say that it was a gift from Xiu Yi, but that it was given to him by a blond boy who suddenly appeared before he came to Winnington.

This is enough for His Majesty to vomit blood.

Of course, the negotiations will not result immediately because of this, and political matters always have to go through some repeated wrangling. When the time comes, Xiuyi will step up her efforts in due course and propose some conditions of her own. All in all, things are starting to turn for the better.

"So, if things go on like this, it won't take long for the Lance Empire to withdraw their wanted arrest?" Lilith asked. She didn't know whether it was good news or bad news.

"Yes, but it should be a secret." Xiuyi said: "On the surface, it will still be maintained. This is what Richard told me. He is the prince and understands political needs better than me. Some things will never be put on the table."

"Then you don't intend to continue revenge?" Buckler was still very sensitive to the problem.

Xiu Yi sighed: "Where is the so-called revenge? All actions are just venting. The Battle of Qingshui Street made me understand many things. In this magical world, only power is eternal. I should continue to pursue power, not simple plots and killings. It has been a year, and I am a little tired. I should be satisfied if I can shake the Lance Empire and spit out all the spoils in a war that must be won."

"Then those conditions..."

Xiu Yi's complexion was complete: "I will not change some principles."

"But they will not agree to officially announce the matter of Purgatory Island. Even if the whole world already knows, it is another matter to admit it publicly."

"I know, as we've said, some things can never be put on the table. But this one, I don't need to worry about headaches anymore."

"Why?"

"Richard Kleiman told me something."

"What?"

"Strike's health is failing, he is dying." Huey said seriously.

Everyone was stunned.

Xiuyi smiled wryly and shook his head: "I'm not interested in killing him, I just want them to admit their mistakes and apologize. When Stricker was alive, this might be an impossible condition, but after he died, it became easy and simple. The Franks will help me complete this matter, that is to say, all troubles will no longer be troubles, it's just a matter of time. So, you see, the matter is as simple as that. All of a sudden, everything is resolved."

"Then the Dardanelles..."

"It doesn't matter anymore." Huey shrugged: "It's ridiculous, right? It took so much effort to keep the family we worked so hard to build, but in the current situation, it really doesn't matter whether it can still function. It has completed its mission, helping us get in touch with the most important target, get enough information, and grasp the opportunity to fulfill our needs. So whether it continues to exist is no longer important. The alchemy factory co-founded by Nuo Commercial Bank. It will be the birthplace of our wealth and our strength. I plan to secretly produce the golems we need there, and truly bring out the value of the alchemist."

"You want to create an army of golems? You have already given up revenge on the empire, what do you need the army for?" Lilith was puzzled.

Xiuyi blinked her eyes: "The world is huge, Lilith. On the road to becoming a strong one, never feel that your strength is enough. Besides...the battle is not over yet. The negotiation has just begun, and I am still a wanted criminal. Even if the negotiation is successfully completed, I will not be without enemies for quite a long time in the future."

As he said that, he took out the brilliant sword and said meaningfully: "Maybe there are more powerful enemies, of course, there are equally powerful allies."

———————————

Let me tell you something, several friends applied to join the group today, but the group is full and no one can be added.

Friends who want to join the group enter the second group.

I was sick some time ago, but I couldn’t write much. Last month, I didn’t have an outbreak. I’m trying to get more code points this month. I read messages on QQ every day, but I basically don’t speak well. You have to work hard to catch up with the manuscript, and it will be easy to handle when the owed manuscripts are driven out. At that time, I will return to the group to chat with everyone.

Well, things like chatting, to put it bluntly, are about mood. When you feel relaxed, you can talk. The codeword task is not completed, how can I be in the mood to chat. hehe.
