Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 88: Covering Hands as Rain

Ignoring the battle, Xiuyi walked towards Bamela: "Mrs. Harden, please take me to the princess' convoy."

"Okay." Bamela glanced at Xiu Yi with a little fear, and then hurried to Avril's motorcade.

Xiu Yi sighed and followed: "You don't need to be afraid of me, ma'am, no matter what I become, you are the person I respect the most."

"But you are no longer the innocent and lovely Hugh Igles in my impression. I don't want to use words like the devil to describe you, but you have indeed changed a lot. You have become powerful, cruel, and strange... You have completely subverted my previous impression of you in my mind."

"Really?" Xiu Yi asked with a smile: "Then when I was in the Royal Garden, didn't I have such a feeling in your heart?"

As soon as the royal garden was mentioned, Bamela obviously thought of what happened in the small room. She blushed and said softly, "At least you were gentle at that time, but you didn't blow up that terrible thing in front of me."

"Then please believe me, madam, most of the time... I am still gentle."

They soon arrived in front of the princess convoy.

Avril Lavigne's disappearance has been known to the guards, all the guards are in a hurry, and a head guard is running around like a headless chicken - he is about to go crazy.

Xiu Yi's arrival was like an angelic guardian, giving the guards a glimmer of hope - they already knew who the boy standing in front of them was, they also knew what happened to the emperor, and at the same time they knew the relationship between Xiu Yi and Her Royal Highness.

It's hard to imagine that the guy who is crazy about the empire would risk his life to find and rescue the princess for the sake of the imperial princess, and even ask the emperor for peace.

If this incident is passed down to later generations, it will definitely be a very beautiful love story.

But now, the guards are not in the mood to think about this, they just want to get rid of the burden as soon as possible. In any case, besides his powerful alchemy, the most admirable thing about this legendary blond boy is his calculation ability.

Everyone put their hopes on Xiu Yi, if he failed, then the guards and maids here would have to die.

"Tell me first how it happened." Xiu Yi said in a flat tone, walking in the convoy while observing the nearby traces.

"Raschel isolated us with the emperor's order, and then he asked to meet Her Royal Highness alone. The situation at the time was very strange. Apart from Raschel, there were several magicians from the Arcane Tower. They seemed to be muttering something, but no one could hear the specific content. Then the Arcane Tower fell down, and those magicians were in a hurry. It was Raschel who came out and said something to those magicians, and then those magicians went with him to Her Royal Highness's car. Later..."

"What happened next?" Huey asked.

"Later Baron Harden discovered that the princess had left the carriage secretly, but the princess warned him not to speak out."

"How did they disappear without anyone seeing Raschel?"

The head guard shook his head.

Xiuyi pondered for a moment: "Take me to the princess' carriage."

Avril Lavigne's carriage is a luxurious eight-horse carriage, and the carriage is large enough to accommodate more than ten people.

Xiu Yi lifted the curtain of the car and looked inside, then turned around and asked, "Baron Harden."

Baron Harden walked out from the crowd: "Hui."

The tone of his speech is full of vicissitudes. Who would have thought that Hugh Igles, who was a small laborer in his own family five years ago, has now become a frightening big shot.

"I'm sorry I don't have time to catch up with you. Where did you see Her Royal Highness leave the carriage?"

Baron Harden pointed to the distance: "That small jungle. At that time, I happened to be... a little... urgent to urinate." The baron said in a low voice after the last two words: "Then I went to the jungle. I saw Her Royal Highness running into the depths of the jungle alone."

"A person? Are you sure?" Xiu Yi asked.

"Yes, wearing a servant's clothes and covering herself with a cloak so that no one can see her."

Xiu Yi frowned slightly, and he was thinking hard.

This incident is a bit abnormal, why did Raschel let Avril run into the jungle alone?

"Did you send someone to look for it in the jungle?" Xiuyi asked.

"It has been dispatched, but no clues have been found." The chief guard replied: "But we have sent people to find the people from the Legal Affairs Bureau. They should be better at finding traces."

"It's useless." Huey shook his head: "Raschel is the best hunting dog in the Legal Affairs Department. He knows how to avoid the eyes and ears of the detectives. He won't leave any clues for those who chase him."

"Then what should we do?" The chief guard was a little anxious: "The safety of Her Royal Highness is in danger!"

"No!" Xiuyi shook her head: "There will be no danger in a short time. Raschel is not a fool. If he wanted to kill Her Royal Highness, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? He has his purpose."

"What purpose?" Everyone was surprised.

Xiu Yi's eyes narrowed.

He didn't answer, but a question arose in his heart.

In this case, the mages of the Wizards Association can be said to be Raschel's accomplices. Without the help of the magician, Raschel couldn't even get close to Her Royal Highness. So why did the people from the Association of Magicians help him hold the princess hostage?

This is a big deal, even Nicolas Cage would not be bold enough to do such a thing.

Xiu Yi quickly thought of the answer.

The answer is simple, that is, these magicians have no idea that they are holding the princess hostage.

It seems that every step of this old fox, Raschel, has been carefully planned.

He asked in a deep voice, "Where is Archmage Cross?"

"He is also missing, together with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"As expected." Xiu Yi smiled coldly. He jumped into the carriage and began to carefully search for traces in the carriage. If everything was as he thought, there must be traces left by Raschel in the carriage.

The carriage is luxuriously decorated with all kinds of furniture, just like an ancient caravan. Xiu Yi patrolled back and forth in the carriage, and finally found some fragments of clothes in a corner of the carriage.

Judging from the texture, it was clearly torn from the gorgeous clothes.

In addition, a bottle of potion was strangely placed next to the fragment.

That's the imaging agent.

Xiu Yi's heart moved.

The role of the developer potion is to discover hidden scouting eyes. But who would leave a bottle of developer in a carriage?

Xiu Yi picked up the potion and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was indeed a developing potion and not a trap, she sprayed it on the empty space of the carriage a few times.

No invisible objects were found, but instead, a wave of energy appeared in the air.

Xiu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, he thought for a while, then suddenly picked up the fragment of clothes in his hand again, and thought about applying the developing agent to the fragment.

Then, several blurred characters appeared on the fragment.

Xiu Yi observed carefully, and finally showed a knowing smile: "So that's how it is."

The head guard looked in from the outside of the carriage: "Master Greer, did you find anything?"

Mr Grail? Xiu Yi was taken aback by this title.

He wanted to laugh a little, but he just nodded in the end: "The princess that Baron Harden discovered is not the real princess, but her substitute. The real princess disguised herself as a substitute and stayed in the car before leaving."

Baron Harden yelled: "It's impossible, I know Her Royal Highness, and I know that double! I won't recognize the wrong person."

Xiu Yi gave him a hard look: "Master Harden, are you really sure? Do you know what responsibility you have to bear for what you said?"

There was a trace of strange energy in the words, which shocked the Baron speechless for a while.

Xiu Yi immediately said: "So you still can't confirm it? You also said that the princess you saw covered herself with a cloak, right?"

The baron was distracted, and finally lowered his head and stopped talking.

The chief guard hurriedly asked: "Then how did the princess leave?"

"Spatial teleportation." Xiuyi replied, pointing to the energy track in front of him: "I used the developing potion to reveal this, which means that someone here has used teleportation not long ago. By the way, isn't Erdoris a space mage? He is one of the mages who followed Raschel, so it makes sense."

"You mean, it was really the magician from the Arcane Tower who kidnapped Her Royal Highness?" The chief guard was dumbfounded, the news was really shocking.

"That's right." Xiu Yi replied with an extremely positive attitude.

"Then that thing in your hand..."

"The scraps of cloth on the princess' body, this fully shows that they forcibly took His Highness away." Xiu Yi casually put the scraps into the bag. The chief guard really wanted to say that you can't take that thing away, but he couldn't say it after all. Xiu Yi said seriously: "Remember, it was Raschel and the people from the Arcane Tower who joined forces to hold Her Royal Highness hostage. This is the answer, the only and correct answer."

"So we... what shall we do? How can we find the princess?"

The corner of Xiu Yi's mouth curled into a smile: "When it comes to arresting, I'm actually not good at it, but when it comes to escaping, it's exactly what I'm good at. Your Excellency, Chief Guard, do you know what is the most taboo thing about hunting down criminals?"

"What is it?" the head guard asked stupidly.

"Always run behind the target." Xiuyi replied with a smile. He patted the shoulder of the chief guard: "Don't worry, I'll look around and I'll give you the answer soon."

With that said, he got off the carriage and headed towards the small jungle.

Bamela hurriedly followed: "Xiuyi, do you really think that the people from the Arcane Tower helped Rasher kidnap Her Royal Highness?"

"No." Xiuyi looked around, and then replied in a low voice: "In fact, they were only used by Raschel. Raschel wanted to convince the Lance Empire that the Arcane Tower manipulated all of this."

"Why?"

"In the Ring Theatre, Raschel personally told me that Nicolas Cage killed Padgett. I used to wonder why he was so generous. His own explanation was to let me fight with the Association of Magicians. But I am not so naive. The Association of Magicians is a giant, and Nicolas Cage is a sanctuary. Even if I try my best to repair Iglesel, I can't really be against them, at least not now. Then why should Raschel kill Nicolas Cage?" he looked at Pamela and asked.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Bamela's mind: "Find a real worthy opponent for the Association of Magicians?"

"Very well said, ma'am." Huey smiled: "Hugh Igles' weight is not enough, but Lance Empire's weight is enough. Nicholas Cage is a sanctuary, but the empire also has a sanctuary. The Banister family is loyal to the empire, and the warrior sanctuary may not be afraid of Nicholas. So Raschel wants to use Erdoris and the others to hold Avril hostage, which is the real reason why he wanted to arrest Avril. Otherwise, just relying on Avril to detain Padgett is not enough He is trying to create friction between the Association of Magicians and the Empire, maybe he may directly threaten the emperor with Avril's life to attack Nicholas, but in my opinion, the possibility of the latter is unlikely."

"Then why did you..."

"Why did you help Raschel admit that the Arcane Tower did it right? Because it was what Raschel asked me to do." Huey sighed.

"Raschel asked you to do this?" Pamela almost cried, but she covered her mouth just in time.

Xiu Yi nodded seriously: "Yes."

No matter how surprised Bamela was, Huey came to the edge of the jungle and took out the fragments in his pocket.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the fragments flew away with the wind.

Huey said, "Do you know how Raschel tricked those magicians?"

"What method?" Pamela felt extremely depressed, and Xiuyi didn't answer him why she wanted to help Raschel, but talked about other things, but she could only follow the other party's topic.

Xiu Yi said slowly: "Those magicians... They have never been in contact with Avril Lavigne at all. Raschel played a very beautiful hand."

Speaking of this, Xiuyi couldn't help admiring: "The Arcane Tower fell down, and Edoris and the others were in a state of anxiety. They thought that I personally destroyed the Arcane Tower. What I said to Christine about appearing in the theater was just a trick to distract the tiger from the mountain. So Raschel took advantage of this to trick them into the princess's carriage, and then let them leave with the teleportation spell, but Avril was no longer in the carriage at that time. Pretend to leave."

"And why?"

"Raschel knows that the best way to hold Avril hostage is not to use force to take her away, and he can't do it. But he can deceive Avril by weaving lies, for example, Hugh Igleser was seriously injured and is hiding in the jungle to heal his wounds. The only wish before dying is to take another look at Avril..."

"Oh, my God!" Pamela slapped her forehead. She could fully understand how Avril Lavigne would react when she heard such news.

"So Avril sneaked out by herself and ran into the jungle. But she didn't expect that she would be seen by Baron Harden, so she solemnly warned the baron not to tell this matter."

"And after that?"

"All plans are afraid of accidents, and Baron Harden was an accident. This accident led to the bankruptcy of Raschel's plan, because he could no longer blame the Arcane Tower for the crime of kidnapping the princess. But fortunately, he still has a backup method, that is... me! So he needs me to help him with this." Xiu Yi said seriously.

That's why Huey saw the bottle of developer potion and the piece of clothing, which Raschel left for him on purpose. Only an alchemist like him knows that the developer potion has a special function, which is to discover hidden handwriting. The agents of the Legal Affairs Bureau also knew, because that was their common method of writing secret letters.

"But..." Bamela was completely confused: "Why do you do what Raschel asked you to do?"

Xiu Yi smiled slightly: "Because the Arcane Tower is our common enemy, and also because the little princess is in his hands."

Suddenly, Barmela realized.

From the very beginning, Raschel was ready for Xiu Yi to wipe his ass for him, because he knew that Xiu Yi had no choice. Whether it was love for the little princess or hatred for the Arcane Tower, Xiu Yi would help Raschel cover up the matter and identify the Arcane Tower as the murderer.

The only thing he needs to worry about is whether Huey can come after him.

But it seems that he has not misjudged Xiu Yi, he knows how important Avril Lavigne is to Xiu Yi, and also knows that Xiu Yi has the ability to do what he wants him to do.

At this moment, Xiu Yi spread his arms and said with a wry smile: "This is where Raschel is smart... From the very beginning, he planned everything. He deliberately gave me clues in the amphitheater. He guessed that I would find out all this and rush to save the princess. He also knew that I would help him make up for all the loopholes. He knows that the Holy Knights can't trap me. I can leave at any time as long as I want. Do you understand now? Madam, neither I nor Raschel, we do not want to face a strong and unified opponent. We all desire The most interesting thing is that the reason why Raschel can make the magicians listen to him is because he is sure to lure me out. In this regard, he did, and I was indeed lured out by him! Even if you catch him in the future, he can still say with certainty that he is serving the Arcane Tower and is using Avril to lure me out. That is to say, no matter whether the Arcane Tower participated in this conspiracy beforehand, they have already been involved in this vortex, and they can no longer escape dead."

Bamela felt cold all over her body, she really couldn't understand that the world of men could be so mysterious and complicated.

Xiu Yi smiled wryly: "Yes, this is Raschel. He did not hesitate to let the Arcane Tower and the Lance Empire fight at the expense of his own life, and the Arcane Tower is indeed responsible for the kidnapping of the princess. In addition, I helped him to block all the leaks he left in haste..."

Huey didn't go on.

Just an hour ago, Nicholas Cage shot out angrily and killed dozens of Holy Spirit Church knights.

Twenty minutes ago, he used top-level alchemy as a temptation to force the Lance Empire to deal with Hamilton.

Fifteen minutes ago, Lele Yesa pretended to be a magician of the Arcane Tower and blew up the Holy Spirit Temple. According to the news from the Black Warrior, dozens of Holy Cult clergymen died in the battle.

All of a sudden, the three most powerful organizations in the Northern Continent, the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Lance Empire, and the Arcane Tower, unexpectedly had fierce conflicts with each other due to their own reasons in this short period of one hour.

In the days to come, it is conceivable that they will beat each other to death, and I am afraid that there will be no peace at all...

And this was exactly the result of Xiu Yi's single-handed plan, coupled with Raschel's contribution to the flames.

These two people have always been in a hostile relationship before, and the first unintentional cooperation has resulted in such a consequence. Presumably future generations will be speechless when they learn about it.

"Then now..." Barmela looked at Huey.

"It's one thing to help Raschel frame the Arcane Tower, but it's another to find Avril. Don't worry, ma'am, I won't let Raschel take the princess away like this, I will catch him. This time, it's my turn to be the hound, and he is the prey."

Bamela was completely speechless. The situation changed again and again. The person who was arrested turned into a hunting dog. The agent who was supposed to arrest him became the prey. Why the development of the world has become so bizarre, Bamela can't figure it out. It seems that ten minutes ago, Hamilton was still teaming up with the Lance Empire to deal with Xiu Yi. In the blink of an eye, the whole world changed.

"How are you going to catch it?" asked Pamela feebly.

"Simple." Xiu Yi snapped his fingers: "Raschel is a good catcher himself, and it is enough to learn from him. How Raschel dealt with me back then, I will repay him."

The plain words carried unbelievable power, and Bamela said in deep thought: "Back then...he took advantage of our family...My God, Xiuyi, do you want to..."

Xiuyi nodded: "Using family members is always the best way. Unfortunately, Raschel has no family members that I can use. But fortunately, he has no family members... Padgett has!"

The next moment, his expression became extremely cold, and he turned around and shouted loudly: "Send someone to Padgett's house immediately, and arrest all his wives and children!"
