Almighty Alchemist

Keith's proposal made Xiu quite tempted.

Indeed, there is nothing more appealing to him than Electra's legacy. But he was also very clear that if he wanted the Blatter family to hand over the scraps, it would not be as simple as accepting their apology.

Blatters are not idiots, and they may not be really afraid of Xiuyi.

The reason why they sent Yuma to apologize to Xiuyi was that they didn't want to destroy the relationship with the Scourge Church, and they were eager to get some benefits from Xiuyi. Friendship is a kind of usable toy for these nobles. It is just like money, but it is cheaper than money. It can be obtained by lowering its posture slightly.

Of course, they did not expect that Xiuyi's friendship was not cheap, and it was not easily available to anyone.

So if Xiuyi wants to get the remaining pages of that note, or even learn from them the whereabouts of the other pages, he must do something.

No one wants to make a loss.

"I can't give the high-end technology I have, and ordinary people may not see it." Xiuyi said.

"That's right." Keith laughed. "But there are many things that don't necessarily have to be high-end technology to be valuable. Fortunately, in addition to knowing that you're called Higgler, I also know your other name, West Cedada Danil. Knowing that this identity possesses some technology not available to Shuigler. For example ... scout bees. "

Xiu Yi suddenly realized.

The technique of scouting bees is not complicated, but it has a great effect on war. The Blatter family is exactly the Junxun family, which can maximize the value of this technology. It's just that no one has ever known that the true owner of this technology is Xiu Yi, even though the South Continental already knew the existence of the scout bee, but only thought it was a unique technology of the Dardanelle family in Warrington.

After thinking about it, Xiu Yi shook his head: "If I sell the technology of scouting bee here, it will affect the Dardanelle family. Second, it will expose me as the secret of Sisy Dardanelle. Although Xiu Yi Glair is no longer a wanted criminal in the Reims Empire, but the Holy Spirit Church and Arcane Tower are still my enemies. Doing so will pose danger to Buckler. No one can guarantee that the Holy Spirit Church will be unmanned here, yes Is it like you go to the northern continent. "

"That's the problem ..." Keith frowned. "It's really regrettable. If so, you might as well talk to Duke Blatter first."

"Talk to him?" For some reason, Xiu felt that Keith was a little too enthusiastic about this issue.

Keith smiled slightly. "Yes, the Duke Blatter is here. He is talking to the elders. If you are interested, I will take you there. Maybe you can get off to a good start."

Xiu Yi put away the remaining pages: "No problem."

Following Keith, Xiu came to the small living room. This is where the church leaders meet their distinguished guests. The religious leaders of the Scourge Church are also political figures, and they often participate in political decision-making. Therefore, they are quite luxurious in the worldly hospitality.

Entering the small meeting room, Xiu Yi could see that the floor was covered with the rarest purple velvet carpet from the northern continent. This kind of carpet is to be made from the skin of the little purple deer who is just three months old. It is the most soft and comfortable. A carpet like this requires at least dozens of little purple deer to sew. The craftsmanship is extremely sophisticated, and no suture marks are visible at all, and the figure of the deities of the world is painted on it.

On the walls of the small living room are masterpieces of the most famous contemporary or ancient artists, as well as exquisite sculptures made of silicon-alchemy materials.

Not far away, a middle-aged man was chatting with Isador. He looked burly, majestic, and had a powerful look all over his body. This person should be the patriarch of the Blatter family, the nobleman of the Serra Empire, and the Marquis of Andre Blatter.

When seeing Xiu coming in, the Marquis Blatter was clearly in front of him, he said aloud, "Let me guess, this should be our distinguished guest, Xiuhaile."

Hugh Glair bent down towards the Marquis Blatter: "Your statement makes me sincere, Lord Marquis."

"Oh, you ’re welcome. I have n’t asked my daughter for your recklessness and stupidity, and I apologize for that. In fact, I have come here to admit it. I have to admit that I have been out of these years for a long time, and my child discipline is not enough. Fortunately, nothing At the worst point, we can save it. ”Marquis Blatter said with a passionate tone, Xiu Yi felt that the Lord Marquis was not only a soldier, but also a very qualified politician. He was very good at performing.

"Miss Yuma came to see me just now, but it looks like my words are annoying her. She cried and ran back," Xiuyi said.

The Marquis Blatter was frightened for a moment, and then he smiled quickly: "Oh, it doesn't matter, young people, always easy to get excited. In fact, Yuma's temper may not be very good, but if you have been with her for a long time, you You will find that she still has some good advantages. "

Have you been together for a long time? Xiu sneered, and the Marquis Blatter did speak very well.

But just then, another dissonant voice suddenly came over: "Is this what you think? Blatter. I thought you were here to seek justice for your daughter. I didn't expect you to be in danger. You whispered in front of the person who killed your daughter. This is really unacceptable. You have lost the face of a nobleman and lost the basic glory of a soldier! "

Outside the small parlor's living room, another guest came in. He had a long and thin horse face, with a serious expression, and looked at Xiuyi's eyes full of hatred.

"This is ...?" Xiu Yi looked at Isador with a puzzled look.

Isador replied: "The Marquis of Ivan Napleton, Minister of Justice of the Sierra Empire, is in charge of criminal law."

"It's a pity that I haven't even been able to punish the murderer who killed my son!" The Marquis of Napleton strode forward and stood in front of Xiuyi.

Xiu understood that the Marquis of Napleton should be the father of the aristocrat named Feller who was pierced by his dining knife. It seemed that the Lord Marquis was quite annoyed. He should have come to seek repairs from Iglesias. Maybe after hearing that Blatter was here, he thought he was also looking for Isador for his daughter, so he hurried over and shouted for Blatter. But he didn't think Blatter wasn't his ally, and in turn threw an olive branch at Xiu, which almost made him crazy.

"Do you mean that you intend to plead for my son's injury?" Xiuyi asked leisurely.

"Of course! You hurt a noble's hand for no reason, leaving him with a disability! This is a capital punishment!" Nipton, no matter who Xiu was, Feller was his only son, and now his hand was injured. It is likely that he will not be cured for life, that is to say, his son Fuller, the heir to the Nepston family, has become a disability.

This is unacceptable to His Excellency the Marquis anyway.

"Oh? Is that so? If it hurts a noble's hand to be deadly, then how can your son explain to me that my sword is wanted from my back?"

"I regret that he didn't stab you asshole, so now you can still stand here and challenge me. But if you think that the church supports you, you can ignore the laws of the empire, and you are wrong. Nepston growled loudly at Xiuyi.

"Does the law of the Empire only serve the nobles?" Xiu Yi smiled. "As a Minister of Justice, I don't think you are qualified."

"Dare you insult me!" Nipton yelled and raised his fist.

But his fist failed to fall, Isador's hand waved slightly, and a gentle wind supported the Marquis of Napleton. This was the first time Xiu Yi saw Isador's shot, soft and elegant, but couldn't see the magic.

As if the letter was twisted, it was completely different from Nicholas' domineering aspect.

"Neplton, your actions have passed. This is the headquarters of the Scourge Church. The land under your feet is the domain of God. No one can use force here." Isador's voice came with a faint warning.

Nipton was forced to step back and let go of his fist. He saluted to Isador: "I'm sorry, under Isador, your wise people know your fairness and everyone's conviction. As the most devout believer in the Scourge Church, I dare not disobey your will , But I also hope that you will respect the laws of the empire and not shield a prisoner who has hurt aristocracy. "

"I never cover anyone, Ivan, but your son did something wrong and was punished for it. I think it is fair and there is no need to go any further." Isador is expensive for the church The elders didn't want to overpower with all their strength.

"I don't think it's fair." The Marquis was obviously excited. "Feller was a good boy. You watched him grow up. His hand was badly injured, and several meridians were broken. Someone told me that maybe his hands could not heal in this life, and he couldn't even pick up a knife and fork with his right hand to eat! "

Isadoro sighed slightly and turned to Xiuyi: "Did you hear that?"

"Yes, under the patriarch's crown."

"Feller's essence is not too bad, he just sometimes is easy to act with affection. After all, he is still young, and I think we should give him a chance. Xiuyi, I know you are the best alchemist in the world, you have The best potion, right? I think you can restore his hands completely. This is a good choice for resentment. "

Xiuyi thought for a while, and finally nodded: "You are right, under the veteran's crown, I can take his hands to cure them, but I never give them up for nothing, and I need to pay the price."

"You can only get my forgiveness! This is already your greatest mercy!" Cried the Marquis of Napleton.

It seemed that the Marquis had no idea who he was facing.

Xiu sneered.

Isador heard something: "What do you want?"

"Electra's residual pages." Xiu replied: "I know Lord Marble Blatter has this thing, and I know who else has the other two. Unfortunately, I can't get anything out of it. Come to do the exchange, but maybe Lord Napleton can help me pay the price, of course, in return, I can help him heal his son. "

Isador laughed. "You are a businessman, repair Iglell."

The Marquis Blatter was also stunned. He looked at Neptun and touched his chin. "What should I ask you for?"

Nipton's face turned red: "This little **** ..."

The Marquis Blatter laughed, "Never mind, Napleton, there is no need to be angry about this anymore. Now that Xiu Yi has promised to heal your son's hand, let all the grudges pass. Speaking of it It ’s really useless to leave that piece of note with me. I can give it to you, Iglesias, but I do n’t need to be paid, I just want to get your friendship, which is the best reward for me. . "

"You've got it," Xiu Yi answered politely.

Nipton said fiercely to Xiuyi, "If you can't cure my son, I will let you know what regrets. I don't care who you are."

"You better care." Isador said, "You better figure out who you're talking to before you make a decision. Your son's injury makes you reckless, which is bad. Sometimes it Will have fatal consequences for you. "

From the analysis that a civilian in Napleton tried to wave Xiuyi, he absolutely did not know in advance who Xiuyi was. And now he just knew that Xiu Yi seemed to be a fairly good alchemist.

Although the alchemist status is high, it is always worse than a marquis.

But Isador reminded that the Marquis could not help but be cautious. In fact, after learning that Xiu Yi was willing to heal his son's hands, his mood calmed down a bit, and then he began to realize the problem.

Xiu retired with great interest, leaving only three of them in the small living room.

Blatter shook his head helplessly to the Marquis of Napleton: "You shouldn't just break in like this. You can ignore your rudeness under the magnificent veteran's crown, but you almost missed your Majesty."

"Your Majesty?" Nipton was shocked when he heard the term.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is what Her Majesty means." Marquis Blatter replied: "It is also the meaning of His Majesty the Elders and His Majesty the Emperor. We need to repair Eagle, and we need the skills in his hand, that is very Important strategic resource. Your impulses almost ruined our plans. "

"Does he mean that ..."

"Yes, Hugh Glair, the only person who has the skills to produce the circle and the space ring, and you want to sentence him to death for your son's hand. You are crazy!"

Napleton was completely unconscious.

Isador looked serious: "You still have a chance to change all this, Ivan, while he is going to treat your son. Don't make stupid mistakes again!"

Halloween Palace, the palace of the Emperor Sierra.

Emperor Jenkin was sitting behind the Dragon case at this moment, watching the report sent by Blatter.

On the surface, the emperor looked like a skinny old man, with a shameless appearance, and often had a smile on his face. However, his ingenuity was beyond the reach of any aristocracy, and his outwardly friendly face provided an excellent cover for his means of exertion.

Speaking of his origin, in fact, like the current Reims emperor Miyah, it is also not orthodox. It's just that his usurping methods are more complicated, more insidious, and more effective in the long run.

As early as the prince, Jenkin became close friends with Isaac, the Scourge Church at the time.

Since the Scourge Church is a Presbyterian system, whoever controls the Presbyterian Church controls the church's right to speak. Therefore, as a prince, Jenkin spared no effort to support Isador and help Isador increase his personal strength and help him. Take control of the church.

When Isador finally successfully entered the Presbyterian Church and became a member of the ruling party, the first thing Jenkin did was to secretly send troops to kill some of Isador ’s political opponents and quickly help Isador Become a veteran of the Scourge Church.

After becoming a veteran of the Scourge Church, Isador has vigorously reformed the sect, controlled the overall situation of the church, and actively established armed forces. Since then, the Scourge Church has become Jenkin's biggest assistant, and three years later, with the help of the Scourge Church, they sent troops into the Sera Empire ’s Halloween Palace, taking the new emperor and his brother under the emperor. seat.

The huge success of this gambling exchange brought huge gains to Jenkin and Isador. From this day, Jenkin began to attack the surrounding small. The soldiers were inspired by religious fanaticism and their combat effectiveness soared. The nations they attacked were comforted by church mages. They could quickly recognize the authority of the new landlords and serve them faithfully. Rebellions and disobedience were greatly reduced.

In this way, the siege empire gradually annexed the entire southern continent along the way, except for a few tropical forest areas that are not suitable for human survival, deserts, savanna, river valley arable land, etc. were all included, and a unified great empire was formed in the southern continent The position of the Scourge Church in the southern continent is also skyrocketing.

This is the most typical successful case of state-religion alliance, and it also fully illustrates the necessity of the existence of religion in this social environment.

So whoever despise His Majesty the Emperor would be wrong.

Regarding Xiu Yi's arrival and his purpose, Emperor Zhan Jin already knew that the Emperor was also well aware of Xiu Yi's fierceness and ability.

But this does not prevent him from thinking about repairing Yi, hoping to get more from him.

If he can, he hopes to be all.

"Based on your contact with Hugh Iglell, what kind of person do you think this is?" Emperor Jenkin asked after reading Blatter's report.

"It's hard to say, Your Majesty." The Marquis Blatter revered respectfully. "On the surface, he was just a boy with a bit of arrogance, but he was also adept at retreating. However, under Isador's crown, he reminded me intentionally or unintentionally that Xiu Iglesias has a very strong merchant essence. It seems that there are many things he only wants to do through transactions. If you want to get something from him, you must pay the corresponding price. From this perspective, It's not impossible even for him to sell the technique of teleportation. The only problem is that we can't find anything that can attract him. "

"Oh? How about giving him a city?"

"I'm afraid not. At present it seems that all of his interests are extremely difficult to obtain. For example, Electra's alchemy, such as the Nightmare Horse, such as the Book of Darkness ..."

"We can't pay that price," Emperor Zhan Jin replied flatly. After thinking for a while, he felt his chin and asked, "Is it possible to use a more direct method?"

The Marquis Blatter clearly knew what the emperor meant: "I honestly can't answer this question. But I can see that Hugh Igle is not a good person. I'm afraid he wouldn't be afraid of that method since he dared to come . And Isador does not support us doing this. He is more willing to use a more peaceful approach and let Hugh Iglell surrender voluntarily. "

"Maybe he just doesn't look afraid?" Emperor Jenkin asked: "Few people are not afraid of death."

"That requires careful consideration. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid we will lose even what we have."

"So what if there is a scapegoat?"

Blatter understood what the emperor meant, and he nodded: "If that's the case, Ivan is a good choice."

"Then give him some reminders."

"Yes, Her Majesty."

I'm trying to make another change in the afternoon, but I'm really not sure I will. I can only say that I will definitely work hard.
