Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 44: Meeting Again
The misty smoke gradually dissipated.
Before Xiu Yi's eyes, there appeared a little boy about five or six years old with red face and white teeth.
With his bare buttocks, he happened to be looking at Xiuyi with joy at this moment, with a pure expression on his face, and he looked extremely chubby and cute.
Oh, hell, I forgot to prepare a set of clothes for you. Xiu Yi picked up the little guy.
Demon dragons don't need to wear clothes. Xu, the little guy who turned into a human, said childishly. God knows that when he became a dragon, he would be bigger than an adult mammoth.
But people need it. Do you know? Dad has been looking forward to talking to you for a long time. Xiuyi smiled and scratched the little guy's nose. Xu frowned cutely, he was very uncomfortable from being shaved.
After thinking about it, Xiu Yi asked a little strangely: Why can you speak so fluently directly? I thought you just had the function of vocalization, but the language ability should need to be relearned.
Because of you, I've been following you all this time, and I've been able to use human language for a long time, but before I had Transfiguration, I couldn't adjust the structure of my vocal cords, so I couldn't make a human voice.
Vocal cords? Xiu Yi was a little surprised by the wording.
I learned from you. The little guy replied seriously: What kind of father is what kind of son, I learned and understood a lot from you.
You don't sound like a two-year-old at all.
The wisdom of the magic dragon does not grow with age, but with strength, and strength grows with age. Dad, you let me cross the barrier of time. I awakened some abilities in advance, so my wisdom has also grown. Now I am an adult. The little guy replied proudly.
Really? Xiu Yi looked at him seriously.
The little guy was a little guilty, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then replied: Almost.
Oh... Xiu Yi nodded thoughtfully: Then tell me, what is the normal age for the first awakening of the magic dragon's power?
The little guy replied reluctantly: Six years old.
Oh, I wanted to pretend to be an adult when I was six years old. Huey laughed and scratched his nose again.
Of course! Xu replied unceremoniously: I want to grow up quickly, and then help my father kill those who want to harm you. I am full of strength now, and I can help you do more things.
Unexpectedly by Xu, Xiu Yi's face suddenly darkened.
He kissed Xu's cute face, and then said softly: No, Xu, from today onwards, I will not allow you to intervene in my battle. I mean, you should not intervene under any circumstances.
Why? Xu asked in surprise.
Xiu Yi looked at Xu's confusing expression and sighed softly: You must admit that this is my mistake. Before that, I just thought of letting you have a strong force as soon as possible to help me, but I didn't notice that you are actually a child. You are still young, and you already have the wisdom of human beings. I mean you are no longer just a magic dragon who knows killing. To some extent, you are higher than humans. Your life. You have what humans have and what they do not have. But in any case, you are just a child.
Xiu Yi put Xu down: Before you transformed, although you already had the ability to communicate with me, I regarded you more as my pet. But now, you have grown up, you have a human form, you can talk, and you can call me daddy. Do you know what it's like to be the father of a child?
Xu shook his head blankly.
Xiu Yi knelt down and said seriously to Xu: You should care about him and love him instead of using him. Dad's future life is full of dangers and killings. Xu, I don't want you to be lost in the killing like me. You are destined to be the greatest life in this world, and you shouldn't be a thug attached to me. Therefore, I hope you can have an innocent and beautiful childhood, not a bloody one.
But I am a magic dragon, and the meaning of life of a magic dragon is to fight.
But not now. You are still a child now, and what you need is the care of your parents, not the use. So I don't allow you to intervene in my battle anymore, do you understand?
The little guy lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he understood something, he blinked and asked Xiu Yi: Then what if I change back to my original body? Do you allow me to help you fight?
Xiu Yi was speechless for a while.
When Xu turned into a human form, he was just a child, a cute and innocent child.
But when he returned to his original state, the power of the magic dragon would dominate everything. At this time, he became it, and his thinking was closer to the wild state of the law of the jungle that is unique to advanced monsters. If you forcibly suppress its desire and prevent it from fighting, it will be detrimental to its growth.
It was these two completely different contrasts that caused the conflict in Xiu Yi's thinking, so that when Xu asked this question at this moment, Xiu Yi didn't know how to answer it.
But for Xu, he already understood.
He put his arms around Xiuyi's ear and said softly, Then Dad, I promise you that I won't fight people in human form, okay?
Xiu Yi was at a loss.
After thinking for a long time, he finally nodded and said, Okay, but if this is the case, I won't allow you to change back to the dragon form at will without father's order. For me, I like your current appearance better.
En. The little guy nodded desperately.
Then, how about I take you to the street to buy some clothes to wear first, and then we go to eat some delicious food? It's a celebration of your new life? Xiu Yi asked with a smile.
He clearly saw saliva dripping from the little guy's mouth.
Oh, no, you little slander, you are not allowed to bring your habit of being a dragon. Xiuyi laughed.
————————————————————
Despite the stormy baptism of Hugh Igles in that sleepless night, the daytime in Royo City is still calm and peaceful, and there is no scene of chaos.
Perhaps it is because they know that the teleportation array can transport Hugh Igleser to any place, so most people don't think Hugh Iglesle will continue to stay in Royo City. The frantic killings that night were more for people's conversations after dinner.
The noon sun was warm and bright, Xiu Yi took Xu's hand and walked on the bustling streets of Royo City.
This is a rare opportunity for them to calm down and appreciate the scenery in this area.
Xu has already put on his clothes. He is wearing a small vest with a jacket inside, a pair of black calfskin shoes, and a jade ring around his neck. He looks very much like a neighbor's baby who was taken out by his elder brother to go shopping. The cold spring was steep, and Xu's little face was flushed. People who didn't know it would think it was frozen, but they didn't know that it was the first time that the little magic dragon came to this world in human form. Looking at the bustling scenery, he was excited.
In the palm of his hand, he was holding a piece of local special glutinous rice cake made of clean rice. It tasted sweet and delicious, and the little guy was very comfortable eating it.
The spring in Royo City is quite beautiful.
As a mountain city, there are many local specialties here. Compared with the bustling commercial metropolis, the excitement of Royo City may be limited, but it has a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. In fact, the whole city is not built on flat ground, but exists obliquely. From south to north, the position of the city shows a trapezoidal upward trend. Its rising angle is greater than 15 degrees, so that standing at the northern end of the city, you can clearly see the southern end.
Earl Anfleet's City Lord's Mansion is located just north of Royo City, which is also the most prosperous area in Royo City. Except for the Silent Island Hotel, which chose a southerly location from the perspective of receiving business, most of the wealthy nobles and wealthy business travelers are concentrated in the North District.
Xiu Yiglaer's great battle in the North District caused some businesses to suffer, but it was not Xiu Yi who really caused damage to them, but the agents and warriors who were ambushed and ran around.
Some people rushed into nearby shops in a panic, causing a fire and causing heavy losses to local shops.
Of course, the Jurisdiction Department is obliged to push all the responsibilities to Xiu Yiglaer, claiming that he did it. But many aristocratic merchants were not so easy to fool. They noticed that although Xiu Yi's thunder and fire formations were placed on both sides of the road, the center of the attack was towards the center of the road instead of the roadside.
The statement of the Legal Affairs Department is like a bullet fired from a gun failed to hit the enemy, but instead came back backwards and hit him in the face.
Therefore, some merchants unceremoniously rushed into the City Lord's Mansion to find Earl Anfleet and asked him to give an explanation.
Unless it was the era that emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, in most eras, merchants with sufficient financial resources were usually inextricably linked with nobles and wealthy families. When they join forces, the power they represent is so strong that even the city lord has to be a bit scruples. Therefore, Earl Anfleet was forced to assure these merchants that Royo City would be responsible for the matter.
Of course, that being said, when it was time to pay, Earl Anfleet did not hesitate to pass the responsibility on to Raschel.
The arrest of Hugh Iglell is a national action, and the local cities have cooperated and fulfilled their obligations. There must be an explanation for the damage caused now, right? If the higher-ups don't bring some money over, this matter is very unjustifiable.
Raschel spread his hands very bluntly: I am no longer in charge of the command task of the mouse hunting operation, do I want compensation? You can find Lord Kevin Beers and the others.
Kevin Beers and Garrick Inston are undoubtedly powerful figures in the empire.
However, their authority is based on strong personal force, and has basically nothing to do with their commanding ability, planning ability, and logistical support and supply ability.
The formation of a society certainly requires a strong force, but relying on a strong force alone can't do anything well.
So when Earl Anfleet came to ask them for money, they were blinded too.
That is, from then on, the two men began to realize that to capture Hugh Iglesel, what they had to deal with was not just a wanted criminal, but in fact they had to deal with various characters and consider various situations.
And this kind of thing is obviously not what they are good at and can deal with.
But for Xiu Yi, all these are just incidental rewards, and now he only needs to take Xu to enjoy the scenery here. Although the gunpowder smoke after the war has just dissipated, the scene of the original fierce tragedy still remains on the ground, which greatly affects the bustle and prosperity here, but for those who revisit the old place with a different identity, the feeling is more exciting and interesting.
Dad, I want to eat that! Xu shouted with his chubby fingers pointing at the snacks in the distance.
Looking along Xu's finger, there is a small shop not far away, which is selling a local special snack in Royo City called Leta.
The area around Royo City is rich in oats. The oat flour made from this kind of oats has high plasticity and good toughness, and can be used to make various exquisite snacks. Lita is one of the most representative ones. People first make oatmeal into flour, then knead it into dough, shape it with a special mold and fry it. When frying, use a small brush to brush with animal oil and cheese, and sometimes honey or rice wine. The Lita produced is fragrant, sweet and delicious.
There is also a roasting method, which is lieta.
What Xu is referring to at this moment is Lieta, a kind of food that is matured in the stove with a fire, and the taste is quite good.
Okay, I'll go get you one.
Ten copies. Xu corrected.
You little guy, you've already eaten a lot, yet you still want to eat so much. Xiu Yi laughed.
The dragon's appetite is different. The little guy rubbed his stomach and replied, I'm growing, you can't abuse children.
Xiu Yi laughed helplessly: Let's go then, we have to drink some millet porridge to eat Lieta, let's go in and sit for a while.
The environment of the store is quite elegant and clean, and the storefront is not too big. In a place surrounded by luxury shops, such a small storefront looks a bit eye-catching.
Just as Xiu Yi was patrolling the reception staff, there was a sudden loud noise from behind the shop.
A man's voice yelled, I can't take this anymore! I'm quitting!
After the voice fell, a man rushed out of the store and walked out of the store angrily.
The figure of this man shocked Xiu Yi. He stared at the leaving figure, and a gentle female voice sounded behind him:
What do the guests want?
Looking back, Xiu Yi saw a lady holding a child.
is her?
Nancy Black, that lady who spent days together in the stagecoach?
—————————————
There will always be some coincidences in life, and it is impossible to say when it will happen.
Sometimes the process that happened is not important, what is important is what kind of consequences it will bring.
At that moment, Xiu Yi looked at Nancy, unable to speak for a while, and Nancy also noticed Xiu Yi at the same time, and also lost her mind slightly.
The young man in front of him was quite similar to Hugh Igleser.
Guest... do you need anything? After thinking about it, Nancy asked cautiously.
Ah. Huey came back to his senses, nodded and said, Yes, I need ten portions of Lita, and two bowls of millet porridge. Huey took out a King Witt and put it in Nancy's hand. He noticed that tears were still hanging on the lady's face. After thinking about it, he said, There's no need to look for it.
Ah, distinguished guest, this is not acceptable. Nancy said hastily.
It doesn't matter. Xiu Yi said lightly: I just see that it is not easy for you to bring your child. It seems that you just had a fight with your husband... Well, I think the one who just left is your husband, right?
...Yes. Nancy replied with her head down, It makes the guests laugh.
nothing.
Lieta was baked a long time ago, so it was served quickly, and the millet porridge needed to be boiled for a while. To Huey's surprise, Nancy found change for him anyway.
It's rare to meet a lady who is not greedy for money. Xiu Yi said with a smile: Actually, you don't have to be polite.
My parents taught me not to get what doesn't belong to me. Hardworking people can create wealth with their hands.
Good family education, a lady like you deserves happiness.
Nancy's expression was slightly gloomy: Unfortunately, a woman's happiness is often based on a man.
Maybe it's just because they don't want to fight for it. Xiu Yi said nonchalantly.
He noticed that although Nancy was busy all the time, she always sneaked a few glances at him from time to time. Perhaps in her heart, she is also matching him with Xiu Yiglaer? But Huey didn't think it would do him any good to let Nancy discover her true identity.
Just let this coincidental meeting disappear into nothingness. Like a drop in the ocean, it shouldn't make any waves.
Unfortunately, the facts are always contrary to the wishes.
Perhaps it was inconvenient to work with the child in her arms, so Nancy put the child on a table not far away.
The little guy fell asleep peacefully, but for some reason, he suddenly woke up at this moment, crying loudly.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and he can already call Mom.
Nancy hurriedly picked up the child and gave Xiu Yi an apologetic look: I'm afraid your porridge will have to wait for a while.
Xiu Yi smiled and said, It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can take care of the child first.
Thank you for your understanding, you are truly a magnanimous guest.
Big generosity is a virtue. Huey replied.
But not everyone has this kind of virtue, although I was lucky enough to meet it once... Nancy said with infinite emotion. For her, perhaps what happened in the past is something she will never forget in her life.
Perhaps it was because the young man in front of her was quite similar to the Hugh Igles who she had known before, which greatly increased Nancy's intimacy with the young man. She put away her lost mind and said to Xiu Yi: Dear guest, maybe you can give me a hug for this child. He is a little shy and you need to hold him around. He doesn't like others to stand and hold him. Unless he is an acquaintance, he will cry non-stop and his throat will be broken. I will go to make the porridge you want. There are still a few processes that must be completed, but please believe that I will finish it soon.
For a mother, making such a request is really helpless.
Xiu Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
Carefully placing the child in Huey's hands, Nancy smiled apologetically, then turned and left.
Without the interference of children, the work is quickly and smoothly completed.
When she returned to the room with the porridge bowl, an amazing scene appeared.
Xiu Yi sat in her seat, but the little guy didn't cry uncharacteristically. On the contrary, he stared blankly at Xiu Yi, and giggled with his mouth open.
Then he opened his arms and hugged Xiu Yi's neck, and threw himself into Xiu Yi's embrace very intimately, as if he had met his relatives.
Oh, my God! Nancy looked at Xiu Yi and her child, and couldn't believe the scene before her.
With a bang, the porridge bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
