Almighty Alchemist

After the Royal Garden Ball, everything started to change.

The first is the rise of the Dardanelles.

The heir of a commercial family suddenly had a close relationship with the princess of the empire, and it is said that he had a good relationship with the prince of the Frank Empire, and His Royal Highness admired him very much.

This means that the future of this family is boundless.

If it is said that Xiu Yiglaier's purchase of the Misty Castle made many people gloat over the family's misfortune, then people's views have begun to change drastically now.

The most obvious manifestation is that more nobles are willing to marry their daughters into the Dardanelles.

It's not even limited to those down-and-out nobles, some middle-class nobles have also joined the ranks.

As a result, the business of the Dardanelles developed rapidly and flourished in Winnington. Huo Ding is indeed a guy with excellent handling ability, and shops with the Dardanelle family crest are blooming all over the streets and alleys of Winnington.

In addition, the alchemy factory jointly established by the Dardanelle family and the two major trading houses has also officially started, and workers are also being recruited. I believe that it will not be long before a large number of alchemy products will come out, seriously impacting the original alchemy industry.

Of course, in a hidden valley behind the alchemy factory, Xiu Yi set up a magic teleportation array.

Some parts from the alchemy factory will be quietly sent here, and then transported to another place through the teleportation array, where they will complete the final assembly and form a powerful puppet.

According to the plan, the first batch of puppets will appear in three months.

In addition, the matter of the Franks marrying Princess Avril has stalled for some reason.

Neither the Franks nor the Reims seemed interested in negotiating much about the marriage. But this does not mean that the war between the two countries is about to start. On the contrary, the secret exchanges between officials of the two sides have increased dramatically.

Political negotiation is an extremely complicated matter. Once any small matter is enlarged to the national level, it will become a major event. A contract may be simple when it is signed, but the content of the contract has to go through repeated scrutiny and careful inspection by both parties. The two parties tested each other's bottom line, asking for a lot of money, and paying back the money at the same time. When the balance of power between the two sides is unbalanced, such situations are relatively rare, and the side with the bigger fist often gets what it says. But when the strength of the two sides is equal, the nature of the matter will change, and excellent diplomatic skills are more important.

With the support of Xiu Yi, the Franks greatly increased their confidence. In terms of military strength, they are temporarily weaker than the Lance Empire, but on the other hand, they have strong development potential, which forms an invisible offset. To the bewilderment of the Lanceians, they were not sure how far Huey's cooperation with the Franks had come. To what extent will Xiu Yi help the Franks, overall? Or is there limited support?

Although the Franks made the gesture that Xiu Yi had already belonged to them, the Lance people were not so easy to fool.

If Hugh Iglesel really decided to join the Franks, he would have gone there when he left Purgatory Island, why wait until now? Why bother with the Lance people?

But then again, it was certain that Xiu Yi had a relationship with the Franks.

Therefore, on the issue of dealing with Xiu Yiglaer, the Lance Empire finally became no longer as blindly confident as before.

They began to treat this matter cautiously and rationally.

On the one hand, they tried their best to argue with the Franks, negotiate, and try their best to find out the bottom line of each other. On the other hand, they began to reduce the intensity of wanting Xiu Yi to avoid further stimulating Xiu Yi. On the contrary, they still sent people to look for Xiu Yiglaer, but the mission they shouldered was no longer to arrest, but to negotiate.

I believe that even if the Lance Empire knows that the Dardanelles were founded by Hugh Igles, they will not dare to do anything. On the contrary, they will only greet each other with subtlety.

But all of this has nothing to do with Raschel, because he has been dismissed.

—————————

"I don't understand! Why is this?" Standing in the director's office, Raschel asked sullenly.

"To be honest, I don't know either. In fact, this is His Majesty's intention. From today onwards, the Legal Affairs Bureau will no longer be responsible for the questioning of Xiu Yiglaer. Someone will handle this matter in the future." Marquis Jacobs replied.

"who?"

The Marquis spread his hands: "To be honest, I don't know either. The Minister of Justice personally sent someone to inform me of this matter, and I have no right to question it."

"But I'm about to catch him."

"Yes Raschel, I believe in you as always, but unfortunately, I have no right to decide on this matter."

"It's so unacceptable."

"I am the same." The Marquis himself also sighed helplessly: "But sometimes things are like this in the world. Whether you or I are actually just a chess piece on the chessboard. A chess piece is a chess piece, no matter how smart or powerful it is, it must be controlled by the chess players. We cannot decide what we want to do."

"Then what about Xiu Yiglaer? He is not a pawn, he is a chess player of his own destiny."

"He is a chess piece that jumped out of the chessboard, trying hard not to be controlled by the chess players, and rampaging around. A person like this will either turn into a chess player, or he will be crushed to pieces in the end." The Marquis patted Raschel on the shoulder: "Forget about him, he is meaningless to you and me. Thank you for your contribution during this time, Raschel, you are an excellent agent. some restrictions."

Raschel took a deep look at the Marquis. The Marquis used to be the biggest key to his success.

But now the big tree behind him can no longer protect him from wind and rain.

The issues involved in Xiu Yiglaer are so wide and deep that they are out of control, and they are no longer something that a Marquis can interfere with.

This made him a little desperate.

He didn't know how he got out of the Justice Department.

When he came to the crowded street and the sun was shining, Raschel looked around.

Winnington is beautiful, bustling, lively, and full of people coming and going, but Raschel feels extremely lonely.

From today onwards, he no longer has to worry about arresting Xiu Yi, this place no longer belongs to him, what awaits him is just a long and endless vacation.

He staggered a few steps, and suddenly found that he had nowhere to go, and he didn't know what to do next.

It is as if the hunter suddenly lost his prey and was in a heavy daze with no sense of direction.

At that time, he saw a person walking towards him not far away, with a sunny smile and long flowing golden hair.

"Good to see you again, Mr. Raschel. May I buy you a drink?"

Hugh Igles just appeared beside Raschel, standing in front of the gate of the Legal Affairs Office with his original appearance.

Amazingly, everyone turned a blind eye to all this.

———————————

There is a small tea house not far from the Legal Affairs Office.

The environment is elegant, clean and pleasant. Most of the tea here comes from the Eastern Continent, and only nobles can afford this precious drink.

Huey and Raschel were sitting in a small box in the teahouse.

Even Raschel himself did not expect that one day he would sit face to face with Huey and drink tea.

He once thought that this kind of situation would only happen after he took down Hugh Iglell, in the dark dungeon under the Legal Affairs Bureau.

Then he might face the world's most cunning criminal with the airs of a victor, with the occasional merciful gratification of his opponent's poor needs.

Huey poured Raschel a cup of tea, and said, "I have to admit that I thought about killing you for a while."

"And I never gave up my dream of catching you."

"Look, we still miss each other quite a lot." Xiu Yi showed her trademark cute smile on her face. Just from the appearance, this is a big boy who has just grown up. Who would have thought that he has an extraordinary sophistication and hysterical madness in his heart?

"Then why didn't you come directly to assassinate me?"

"It's just a habit of thinking. I have always believed that the officials sent by the Legal Affairs Bureau to arrest me are invincible. Rather than killing one or two, it is far better to leave an opponent who can control the movement. Therefore, I made a mistake in dealing with you. I still underestimate you. But it is you who taught me a truth: never underestimate your opponent. I used to think I was very humble, but the facts have proved that I am not humble enough." Huey raised a glass to Raschel. : "The trap you set up last time was really great. You made me suffer a huge failure. You pulled out the two pawns I had finally planted beside you, and I almost sent myself in because of this."

"It's a pity I still couldn't catch you."

"It's the corrupt bureaucrats that limit your ability. You can't really think I've fooled them all, can you? It's not me who fooled them into making stupid decisions, it's them."

"Maybe there's some alien with ulterior motives."

Xiu Yi chuckled: "You still insist that I am Siser Darnell?"

Raschel's hand was already on the table, and he whistled angrily: "Xiuiglaer, do you really think you have won? So you come to me to show off your victory? Or do you think that you are much stronger than me, and here you can do whatever you want with me, so you don't worry about the consequences at all? No, it's not that simple. Unless you kill me immediately, I will definitely tear off your disguise and pull you out of that protective shell!"

"Show off?" Xiu Yi's face changed slightly: "Mr. Raschel, I no longer underestimate you, but you are obviously underestimating me. Do you think I will be so bored that I would run to you in this situation just to show off my victory? No, I am not that interested. For me now, there is nothing more important than improving my strength. As I said on Qingshui Street, I am not interested in taking any action against the Lance Empire for the time being. .The reason why you don't know... is because you are standing at the foot of the mountain."

Xiu Yi's voice was deep and cold, but it hit people's hearts directly.

Raschel's body swayed, and after taking a few breaths with his undulating chest, he finally calmly said: "So you came to me for another reason?"

Xiuyi nodded: "Mr. Raschel, you are an opponent worthy of respect. At least for now, among all the people in the Lance Empire, you are the only opponent who successfully calculated me and made me almost fail. For the strong, we must always maintain the most basic respect. The reason why I came to you is because I know that people like you cannot have follow-up plans."

"Follow-up plan?" Raschel sneered: "I have already been dismissed, what other follow-up plans can come in handy?"

"That's not important." Xiuyi shook her head: "What I'm interested in is not whether you can catch me, but what weaknesses I have. I didn't discover them myself, but you discovered them."

"what do you want from me?"

"A kind of self-examination, examining oneself from the perspective of the enemy, discovering one's own shortcomings, and avoiding repeating past mistakes. Some weaknesses I can discover and improve through my own thinking and friends' reminders, but some weaknesses I can only discover and improve through my enemies. There is a saying in my hometown-the people who know you best are often not your relatives or friends, but your enemies."

"A very interesting adage, but not without reason."

"I know you must have a follow-up plan, just like you have checked all my information, I have checked yours. I found that you are an agent who is very good at planning and then acting. You always try to understand everything thoroughly first, find out the key to each problem, and then attack a certain aspect. Your plans are always one after another. Even if your target escapes once by chance, it is difficult to escape the next time. Using the huge resources of the empire, once your plan is unfolded, it will continue until the target is captured. Street's ambush plan failed, but it doesn't mean that your investigation of me in the past year only resulted in such a plan. Fortunately, you have been dismissed now, so Mr. Raschel, tell me what weakness you plan to take advantage of?"

Raschel stared at Xiu Yi in surprise. He didn't expect that Xiu Yi's way of thinking would be so weird that he would come to the door to find out what kind of arrest plan the enemy who captured him had for him.

It's incredible.

Nothing is more bizarre than this.

"What if I refuse to tell you? Kill me?"

Huey drank tea very calmly: "I'm not interested in drinking tea with the person I want to kill, especially this person has won my respect now. But I believe you will tell me." He glanced at Raschel, and then slowly said: "Padgett is about to die, and Her Royal Highness used a medicine on him, which she made herself. Padgett violated the princess' orders one after another and acted in private in order to help you, which made her very angry. I am the only one who can eliminate this anger. I don't think you want it My best friend died because of you, right?"

Raschel's body twitched.

"Tell me, what is the plan to deal with me. On the one hand, it will allow me to discover my own shortcomings, and on the other hand, it will allow me to learn many new conspiracies and tricks. Even though you can no longer use them." Xiuyi said coldly.

"Your aunt, I'm planning to send someone to invite her over." Raschel immediately said.

Xiu Yi froze: "Are you joking? It's okay for you to use the Harden family, but using my aunt? You should know that this bitch sold me to Purgatory Island. I'm being polite by not killing her."

"Who said that only people who are kind to you can be used?" Raschel sneered: "There are many ways to use. Dealing with your benefactor is one way, and supporting your enemies can also make you lose your mind. Think about it, the person who was kind to you was persecuted because of your existence, and the person who caused you to experience four years of hell, but also quickly rose to prosperity because of you. A person can't know how to repay you, how can you not know how to take revenge? If your aunt doesn't show up, or If there is no good encounter, then you may give up revenge on her. But if she suddenly becomes a noble wife, has a lot of money, and can even bully a small nobleman who has been treated coldly because of helping you, I believe you will not accept that result... Revenge is always more motivated than gratitude, isn't it? "

Xiu Yi stared at Raschel fiercely, he really didn't expect that Raschel's follow-up plan would have such a trick.

That's right, just as he expressed his gratitude to the Harden family, he hated his aunt deeply.

If Raschel brought his aunt here, asked the royal family to give him a title and rewarded him generously, and then this aunt went to suppress the Harden family if she had nothing to do, Xiuyi would definitely not be able to accept it. If he could take revenge on the Lance Empire, wouldn't he teach his aunt a lesson?

My former self definitely disdained to attack such a woman, but if such a woman became successful because of him, if I don't teach her a lesson, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well from now on.

Raschel's mastery of human nature has reached the extreme, and he clearly identified Xiu Yi's temper, which even made Xiu Yi admire.

"It turns out that the psychology of revenge can also be used." Xiu Yi smiled wryly: "Whether it is kindness or hatred, it can be made into a trap that can be used."

"So it doesn't matter whether the weakness itself exists, what matters is whether you can grasp it and make good use of it. Didn't you just take advantage of my weakness? Sisser...Master Dardanelle.!"

Huey's sharp eyes swept over Raschel, and he said slowly: "Until now, you still don't give up on testing me, and try to prove your guess."

"That's no longer a guess." Raschel pointed to Xiuyi's hand: "Maybe you didn't notice it yourself, but I noticed it. You have a habit, Xiu Yiglaer. You can change the color of your hair, the color of your eyes, the shape of your face, and even your movements and postures. But you still have some habits that have not changed. They are your unique habits. I have never seen anyone have such a habit before this. Only you and Sissy Darnell have it."
