Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 9 Puppet Doll

The success of abducting Lancelot put Xiuyi in a good mood.

After the black warrior left, he no longer had a reliable and powerful thug by his side. He is used to the black warrior, and he really doesn't like the general warriors of the earth. In contrast, Lancelot may not be as absolutely loyal as the black warrior, and he has the power to carry out his own orders, but Lancelot also has his own benefits-he can learn many warrior training methods from Lancelot again.

"In that case, I'll go and inform the people from the Nan family." Lancelot got up and left.

Xiuyi thought for a while, put his fingers in his mouth, and let out a long whistle.

A moment later, the resounding cry of a blazing bird resounded in the air.

Following this cry, a huge body fell from the air with a strange scream.

Xiuyi casually released a wind spirit technique, reducing the weight of the falling body.

bang.

Lasseter still fell like a rock, and he fell with stars in his eyes.

"Hey, Lasseter, how's it feel to be a trapeze?" Huey asked with a smile.

Lasseter shook his drowsy head, then spat out with a loud wow.

After a long while, he replied very sadly: "It's worse than the feeling after going berserk."

"Believe me, you will like it after you get used to it." Xiu Yi smiled.

Lancelot came back soon, and behind him was a middle-aged man named Dandistriker, who was the head of the caravan of the Southern family this time.

Dandy is naturally very clear about who Hugh Igleser is. It can be said that without him, Lancelot might still be a monster hunter on the island.

The southern family and the royal family have always had a rift, and they don't like the imperial family. They always think that they have stolen the royal status of the Stryker family. Based on the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, the Nanfang family has always admired Xiu Yi, who was against the royal family.

Of course, this kind of appreciation can only be kept in the heart, and it will not exist openly on the surface.

Now that Xiu Yi is no longer a wanted criminal of the empire, the Nanfang family is very willing to cooperate with Xiu Yi to plan a great fortune. And Xiuyi's plan to use the teleportation array to sell materials really stimulated Dandy's nerves.

The two sides only had a brief meeting before they formally finalized this big deal that might cost hundreds of millions of Kingwitts every year. At the same time, Lancelot would also formally accept Xiuyi's orders on behalf of the Southern family.

In this way, Xiuyi already has two subordinates here - Lasseter made it clear that he would follow Xiuyi, anyway, he was alone, and he couldn't support himself no matter where he went. Compared to the price offered for abducting Lancelot, Lasseter's price is much lower, as long as you have enough to eat. In terms of cost performance, Lasseter is more cost-effective than Lancelot.

With all this done, Huey has one more thing to do.

"We're going to rent a public laboratory right now. I'm going to make some alchemy props. After I'm done, I'll go to Anakh immediately."

"Make alchemy props?" Lancelot didn't understand what kind of alchemy props Xiuyi wanted. To be honest, although alchemy is easy to use, in terms of the nature of power, it is impossible to be stronger than a star warrior after all, but it will consume a lot of resources.

Xiu Yi said with certainty: "Yes, I want to research a new kind of puppet, which is used to deal with the Sanctuary."

This sentence startled the two of them.

What kind of puppet can deal with Sanctuary?

Xiu Yi just smiled mysteriously: "You don't necessarily need a powerful puppet to deal with Sanctuary, you will know soon."

Raven City, as the material distribution center of Baoqin Plain, of course, cannot have a public laboratory. The buyer of materials is always an alchemist, and as long as he is an alchemist, he cannot do without the laboratory. Some large public laboratories are quite expensive, and the rental fee is as high as ten gold-wittes per day.

Xiu Yi rented it for ten days.

During these ten days, he locked himself in the laboratory almost without leaving home, and devoted himself to researching the new puppet he had imagined.

Lancelot and Lasseter were in charge of guarding, so that no one who entered would disturb him.

Occasionally, they would hear the rumbling sound of explosions in the laboratory, and then Xiu Yi would come out covered in dust and smoke.

At that point, even Lasseter knew, the experiment had failed again.

After ten days, Huey extended the lease for another ten days, and then another ten days.

The days of alchemy are sometimes so fast that a month flies by in the blink of an eye. Lasseter had never seen anyone who could put himself in the laboratory like this for sixteen or seventeen hours a day, and he had never seen any experiment that could experience such crazy failures.

Sometimes there are several explosions in Xiuyi's laboratory a day, and the sound is frightening.

In contrast, Lancelot had to get used to it a lot. Alchemy is originally about accumulating experience from countless failures and pursuing the road to success. Back then on Purgatory Island, Hynes failed for space teleportation and troll gods, even counting years. In contrast, Xiuyi's progress can only be described as a genius.

Because a month later, Xiu Yi's laboratory finally stopped the terrible explosion.

When he came out of the lab exhausted, he showed a tired smile. "It worked," he said.

It succeeded, and behind the simple three words is a huge effort.

When Lancelot and Lasseter looked at the ten-centimeter long golem that looked like a little clay figurine in Xiuyi's hand, they were all stunned.

This is clearly a puppet doll sold on the street.

Lasseter pointed to the puppet doll and asked, "Is this what you've worked on for a month?"

"To be precise, it was made by adding all my understanding of alchemy, the wisdom of my ancestors, and some inspirations I received here." Xiuyi answered seriously.

"So... what is the use of this little thing? Defeat Sanctuary? I think it can't even beat me. I can crush it with just one foot." Lasseter laughed strangely.

Xiu Yi smiled and said, "Really? Then why don't you try it?"

—————————————

In the open space on the outskirts of Raven City, the tall and burly Lasseter stood at one end, and the little puppet doll at the other end.

Such a small puppet had only appeared in the wooden puppets of the Dallymore family before. It's just that that kind of puppet will enlarge its body when fighting, but this one obviously doesn't have this effect.

In fact, the puppet doll only holds a small thin blade in its hand. It looks like it can't even stab a person in addition to shaving people-the blade is too short.

"Then, don't blame me if I smash this little thing of yours into a pile of mud." Lasseter twitched his fist with a strange smile.

"Of course." Xiu Yi said with a smile: "Then, let's start now."

Lasseter roared and walked towards the puppet doll, he raised his big foot and stepped towards the puppet doll. This thing is really too small, hitting it with a fist is far less convenient than simply stepping on it to death.

The puppet doll squeaked into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Lasseter was startled, and was looking around. The puppet doll had already emerged from the ground and was landing at his feet. With a light stroke of the small blade in his hand, a blood mark had been cut on Lasseter's thick bear leg.

Lasseter let out a strange cry, lifted his foot and stomped again, and the puppet doll had sunk into the ground again.

Like a mouse teasing an elephant, Lasseter roared again and again, unable to do anything with this nimble little thing for a while.

"Hui, is this the weapon you said can defeat the sanctuary?" Lancelot looked at it for a while and asked, "I don't see any strength in it except it is more flexible. It has almost no attack power."

Although the puppet doll is very flexible, Lancelot can tell at a glance that the puppet doll has almost no attack power. The current Lasseter didn't use fighting energy to protect his body, and the little thing just scratched a mark on his rough skin. If Lasseter used fighting energy, the puppet would probably be blown away before he got close to Lasseter.

Xiu Yi laughed and said, "Do you really think that I paid such a high price just to be a waste?"

Lancelot was taken aback, and Huey took out a small elemental ball from the ring.

"The biggest difference between my golem and other golems is that it only attacks once."

After saying this, I didn't see what Xiu Yi did, but I saw a sudden flash of light on the elemental ball.

The puppet doll, which had been avoiding Lasseter's attack, suddenly stopped moving, and a strong elemental light appeared on its body.

Lasseter was slightly startled, and was about to step down when Xiu Yi suddenly made a move, knocking Lasseter into the air with a punch, and at the same time retreating himself.

The light on the puppet doll's body shone brighter and brighter, and suddenly exploded on the spot with a bang, and the huge elemental shock force filled a radius of ten meters in an instant.

After the gunpowder smoke passed, Lasseter and Lancelot looked at the puppet together, and saw that the puppet doll had long been turned into countless fragments scattered on the ground, only the pit on the ground reminded it of its past existence.

"This...this is..." Lasseter pointed at the fragments and looked at Xiuyi.

Xiu Yi said coldly: "You have to be lucky, if I didn't blow you up just now, you would be seriously injured even if you weren't killed. This is the self-explosive puppet I have researched these days. The so-called puppet is actually an illusion. Their real function is to approach the enemy and then self-explode. Kill the opponent by creating a powerful explosion."

Lancelot was sweating profusely: "Thank you for thinking it out. But in this way, how is it different from ordinary alchemy props? Don't you have some other alchemy props that can create powerful explosions?"

Xiuyi immediately shook his head: "Of course it's different. In battle, a self-destructing puppet that can control itself to chase the enemy is far more useful than the sacrificial oil. First, they can find and contact the enemy by themselves, and don't take up my hands like the sacrificial oil. This allows me to concentrate more on fighting. Secondly, anyone can control it through the elemental ball, so that even ordinary people can operate it, and things like sacrificial oil cannot be used by ordinary people. The enemy, and then suddenly attack when they drill out of the ground, making it difficult for the enemy to escape, which is something that the sacrificial oil cannot do. The fourth is that it can be used in a concentrated manner. You cannot launch thousands of sacrificial oils at the same time to bomb the enemy, but as long as you have enough time to prepare..."

Xiu Yi's face darkened: "You can make enough self-explosive puppets next to the enemy you selected, and then let them attack at the same time. You can completely imagine what a moving scene will be when hundreds of self-destructed puppets explode together."

This passage made Lasseter and Lancelot sweat together.

He didn't expect that just a small change could make an explosive item so terrifying. This kind of self-explosive puppet, Xiuyi was not a technological innovation, but was invented for tactical applications.

But Xiu Yi is not satisfied: "If I just want to make a puppet that can explode itself, it won't take me so long. In fact, what I really want to do is not a puppet that explodes itself, but a one-time puppet with multiple uses."

As he said that, Xiu Yi casually threw out another puppet doll.

The puppet doll ran forward quickly under Xiu Yi's command, and then the elemental ball in Xiu Yi's hand flashed, and the puppet doll was also full of elemental light, and then a swamp appeared on the ground.

It is the earth spell: Swamp Trap.

This is Xiu Yi's real intention. Compared with those alchemy props, the magic used by puppets is more stealthy, active and delayed attack. They are more flexible and active. They will chase the enemy, avoid the enemy, and choose to attack at the right time. They are more colorful in terms of tactical combinations and changes.

Moreover, this kind of puppet can be mass-produced due to its small size and less material occupation.

But in addition, there is a real, most important role, which is to deal with the sanctuary.

————————

Since fighting Nicholas, Xiuyi's defensiveness towards the Sanctuary has reached a perverted level. The static domain left a deep impression on him. In front of the power of the domain, no matter how powerful the power is, it is just a cloud. However, because of this, he was thinking about how to deal with alchemy almost all the time.

In the end, he discovered that the role of domains actually came from people. Most of the sacred domains in the world should be arranged according to human disadvantages and their own advantages, and no one will arrange their own domains for alchemy.

This gave Xiu Yi a chance to realize that the best way to deal with the domain was nothing but alchemy.

However, in the existing alchemy, there are only two things that can produce direct attack effects. One is a puppet, and the other is an alchemy prop. The former is more flexible, but its power is limited, and it has no power to fight back against the sanctuary. The latter is more powerful, but must be controlled manually. However, people are subject to various restrictions in the field and cannot use it freely, which limits the power of alchemy props. Moreover, people are flexible and can avoid or resist attacks from alchemy props.

How can we solve this problem? Xiu Yi also thought about it repeatedly.

At first he had pinned his hopes on the Troll God, the most powerful golem in legend. However, the troll god is actually nothing more than an existence that can rival the sky warriors. He has never heard of a puppet that can rival the star powerhouse and the seventh-level archmage.

On the other hand, the momentary burst of power from the alchemy props will definitely pose a threat to the strong, but unfortunately, under the influence of the domain, he will never even think about using these things freely. And the other party is not a fool, it is impossible to stand there and allow you to bomb.

So Xiu Yi was also very distressed for a time.

However, after coming to Raven City, this place may not have brought him any technical support, but it has inspired him infinitely creatively, making him suddenly realize that his previous thinking seems to be a bit narrow...

When he saw the flying ants that could carry ten times the weight, he thought that if the flying ants could carry alchemy props to attack, it would be a very useful weapon. Unfortunately, they do not have the ability of puppets to identify targets and dodge attacks by themselves, so they are not suitable carriers;

So the next idea became logical—is it possible to use golems instead of flying ants, and props instead of golems' attacks? You can't throw out a dozen props at once, but you can have hundreds of puppets attack. The two are obviously very different.

This kind of puppet does not need to be strong, it only needs to be flexible enough, have the ability to protect itself for a short time, be able to accept its own instructions, and be able to quickly and effectively approach the enemy. Of course, it is best to have a certain degree of confusion, so that people can underestimate its existence, such as installing a small blade that seems useless...

It was seeing all kinds of novel and interesting alchemy inventions in the market that greatly expanded Xiu Yi's thinking and made him have this series of ideas.

Following this line of thought, Xiu Yi explored step by step, and finally determined the method of combining alchemy props and golems. This kind of puppets may not be powerful, but they are not restricted by the power of the domain, so they are destined to become sanctuary killers.

"Are you... sure you can defeat Sanctuary with just such a small thing?" Lancelot still couldn't believe it.

Xiuyi shook his head: "It may not be possible now, because I have only researched four kinds of puppet dolls. After all, I don't have enough time. But I will continue to study new puppet dolls and their combination methods in the next time. One day, I will also research puppet dolls that can fly. They will be faster, more dexterous, and have better evasion capabilities; research puppet dolls that can be invisible, so that they can be more concealed; research puppet dolls that can teleport, and puppet dolls that can dive... By then, Once we have tens of thousands of puppet dolls of all kinds, they will be a terrible killer for the peak powerhouse. The most interesting thing is...due to the size, they don't consume too much material. So they will be cheap to make!"

Huey smiled and said, "The only thing we need is push."

Lancelot gasped.

This little thing has a vicious mind, he purely wants to create alchemy that can kill the strong.

That's right, the sanctuary is very powerful, but if it is bombarded indiscriminately by hundreds of self-destruct puppets, it may be difficult to survive. If these puppets can burrow into the ground and fly, then there are puppets in the sky and on the ground that can dive, become invisible, and teleport. They are everywhere in the sky and the ground, densely packed like locusts, and each of them is a terrifying scene of self-exploding bombs...

Lancelot shuddered just thinking about it.

Such a scene, let alone a sanctuary, might not be able to withstand even seventeen or eighteen.

Thinking of this, Lancelot couldn't help but shiver.

As if seeing his thoughts, Xiu said with a smile: "That's just a beautiful idea, Lord Lancelot, at least for now, it's not likely to become a reality."

Lancelot regained his seriousness.

He said in a very serious tone: "I am your subordinate now, you should stop calling me an adult."

There has never been a moment when Lancelot has been in awe of Huey as he is now.
