Almighty Alchemist
Chapter Five Rose Manor (Part 2)
Late at night.
Most of the tourists who have returned from afar have already fallen asleep.
In Christine's luxurious bedroom, Huey sat alone on the sofa, while Christine walked back and forth anxiously in the room.
Xiu Yi, please, don't ask me.
The conversation during the day ended in discord.
Kristin and Karen Weston have a big fight.
For most people, this is not a rare thing, although everyone is trying to maintain the surface peace, but in private, they are intriguing with each other, wishing each other to die sooner.
Huey wondered why when Karen mentioned the name of the Castle in the Misty, Christine turned pale with fright. But when he asked Christine, she shook her head and refused to give the answer.
This made Xiu Yi somewhat dissatisfied.
It was hard for him to imagine that when the cooperation between them had reached this point, there was still any secret that Christine needed to hide from herself.
He originally thought that this secret was not suitable for public disclosure, so he came to Christine's room alone to ask her for an answer, but Christine still refused to answer.
Why? Huey asked.
I'm doing it for your own good, Christine begged.
For my own good? There was a sneer of disdain on the corner of Xiu Yi's mouth: I'm sorry that I don't believe what you said.
This ruthless answer surprised Christine.
I always thought that trust was the basis of cooperation. But now I realize that I can't really trust you. That Earl of Weston is not an easy person to deal with, but you didn't point this out to me before. You didn't even tell me that he was an alchemist. From this point of view, you are not trustworthy, but I am not angry about it, because the relationship between you and me is just mutual use. I have the illusion that you only have feelings for me rather than interests.
Christine's face became extremely ugly, she never thought that Xiu Yi would say such a thing.
For Xiu Yi, feelings are feelings, interests are interests, and the two must be clearly distinguished. He doesn't care that there are only interest ties between them, but he will never accept that people who only have interest ties play emotional cards against him.
This is because since he came to this world, his emotions are mostly in hatred and anger, and he has received too little care. He will cherish all those who love him very much.
It is precisely because of this that he cannot accept the factor of interest mixed in emotionally.
Christine just wanted to use his hand to settle all the troubles. Xiuyi didn't care about being used by her, but at this moment she told herself that she cared about him, and he felt the anger of being cheated and ignored.
At this moment, Christine stared blankly at Xiu Yi for a while, and finally sighed: Yes Xiu Yi, I admit that I was wrong. I should have told you the whole situation from the beginning, but I was worried that it would make you raise the price. Maybe it is the nature of a businessman, I concealed the true strength of Weston.
You still have a chance to correct it. Xiuyi said coldly: In fact, even if you didn't tell me, I would find a way to find out. It can be seen that there is no secret about the Mist Castle.
Christine's complexion changed drastically, and for some reason, her heart throbbed.
She gritted her teeth and said loudly: Yes, you are right, this is not a secret. I really shouldn't have concealed it from you. As long as you want, you can easily find out. Since this is the case, I will tell you now, the Castle of Mist...it is the castle left by Electra.
Xiu Yi stood up abruptly.
Hidden in the Mist Castle is a castle located at the edge of the ancient castle area in the southern suburb of Winnington. It is located under the Yinyue Peak under the Lilgula Mountains and has a history of hundreds of years. Although the castle is under the mountain, it is shrouded in smoke all year round, so it is called the castle in the fog.
But the Mist Hidden Castle also has a name called Death Castle.
The origin of Death Castle is simple.
This is the only well-known castle left by Electra. According to legend, Electra's laboratory is located in this castle.
The reason why it is just a legend is entirely because no one has ever been able to find Electra's laboratory here. On the contrary, everyone who tried to find this secret died.
In the last three hundred years, the Misty Castle has had more than seventy owners, among which more than forty are famous or not famous alchemists in different periods. However, none of these alchemists were able to reveal the secrets of the Misty Castle in the end. Most of the alchemists disappeared mysteriously during the process of living there, and have never appeared since then.
The castle hidden in the mist has become the castle of death, and the owners here have changed one after another. As long as an alchemist enters this castle, almost no one can survive for a year. On the contrary, some ordinary people who are not alchemists can live here for a long time. But even ordinary people do not necessarily mean they are safe, and a small number of ordinary people have since disappeared in this castle.
Therefore, the castle hidden in the mist eventually became a forbidden place for people to die.
According to legend, when the Rose Monarch established his capital here, he planned to reveal the secrets of the Foggy Castle. As a result, he sent twenty of the most famous alchemists at the time to explore there. Three days later, only one person walked out of the castle alive.
He has lost his mind.
When Christine spoke eloquently at this moment, Xiuyi was also dumbfounded.
On the map he got about Electra, there was indeed a prominent mark, which was in Winnington. The reason why Xiu Yi readily agreed to come here was also for the purpose of finding this laboratory. But he didn't expect that this time he didn't need to look for it at all, because it was there, in front of everyone's eyes, but no one had ever been able to open it.
Almost everyone believed that there must be a laboratory left by Electra in the Castle of Misty Castle, but similarly, it may be close at hand, but it is also far away in the sky, and it is even more difficult to find other laboratories in the illusory place.
After getting the answer provided by Christine, Xiuyi lowered her head and thought for a while, before asking in a low voice: Since this is the case, why didn't you want to tell me at first?
Christine's expression became more and more sad, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes: The reputation of Death Castle has been spread not for a year or two, but for hundreds of years. But why have alchemists always wanted to enter there for hundreds of years? Why is the reputation of Death Castle only getting bigger and bigger? Why do people still have to die one after another when they know that they cannot resist the alchemy left by the legendary alchemist?
Xiu Yi was slightly taken aback.
Christine had already said: Because there is a fatal attraction for any alchemist.
Yes, Fatal Attraction. For alchemists, Electra's laboratory is like a huge treasure trove of knowledge. Anyone who gets a little bit of it is enough to become a top alchemist in the world.
Just like the Dardanelle family, they can win the favor of countless business families just by relying on the production technology of scout bees.
In this magical world, a top-notch alchemy can indeed bring unimaginable wealth.
What Xiuyi possessed was the collection of countless knowledge. It's just that he lacks enough strength and time to transform this knowledge into power and wealth, but for the Lance Empire, everything is very different. If Xiu Yiglaer fell into their hands, with the technology in his hands, it might even help the empire complete a century-old leap. Therefore, even if Hugh Igleser is difficult to deal with, the empire will still try its best to catch him. The reason is the same as above, it is a fatal attraction.
Therefore, although the Hidden Mist Castle is a forbidden place for the alchemists to die, the alchemists rushed in desperately one by one, trying to uncover the secret and make a fortune in one fell swoop. For Xiu Yi, success may not be his pursuit, but his enthusiasm for alchemy makes him not shy away from this challenge.
There are many traps in this world, and they don't rely on secrets, but rely on temptation to win.
Christine understood Xiu Yi too well, so she was resolutely unwilling to tell the origin of the Misty Castle. She was afraid that as soon as she said it, Xiu Yi would immediately buy the castle, and then rush into that death trap without hesitation.
At this moment, Xiu Yi was a little sluggish about Christine's answer.
What made him dull was not the strangeness of the castle, not that the Earl of Weston could restrain his greedy desire for the laboratory, not whether he could solve the secrets of the castle and find another laboratory of the legendary Electra, but... Christine's concern for him.
Biting her lower lip, Xiuyi asked softly, Why do you care about me so much? Don't we only have a relationship of interest? If you are worried about my mission, I can kill Karen Weston for you first, and then go to explore that castle.
Because... Christine opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Xiu Yi looked at her seriously. For some reason, Christine's heart skipped a beat. She finally made up her mind and came to sit next to Xiu Yi.
She took Xiu Yi's hand, put his hand on her face, and said softly: Because I fell in love with you, Xiu Yi.
It was like a thunderbolt hitting Xiuyi's heart heavily.
Do you still remember the first time we met at the Lanya Grand Theater... Christine's words sounded leisurely, bringing the two of them back to their first meeting.
For Christine, she will never forget the first time she saw Xiu Yi, that cold, proud, and wise young man, killing in his own way in the Lanya Grand Theater, even when killing people, he also showed his unique elegance.
Christine had never seen a wanted fugitive who could fight back so frantically, but behaved so calmly.
He defeated her suitor in front of him, but he dismissed her asking for her name, which made her unable to step down in public.
He looked at his eyes, full of contempt, ignoring.
This annoyed her very much, because no one had ever treated her like this before. Even Earl Weston, who had always wanted to seize her property, hadn't dealt with her harshly, partly because he was lucky to have both money and sex.
Christine couldn't tolerate this kind of failure, so she told her suitors that I would marry whoever could get the head of Hugh Igleser. She thought it was the best magic weapon for her to defeat this young man, but she never expected that they would meet again in Royue City.
Christine thought she would be afraid, but she didn't expect to be excited when she saw Xiu Yi for the first time. Of course, at this time, Christine hadn't fallen in love with Xiu Yi yet, so in the negotiation with Xiu Yi, she refused to give up an inch, fought for her own interests, and at the same time concealed Weston's true strength.
However, after that, Xiu Yi's generous pursuit of offensive not only made the whole city of Royo go crazy, but even Christine was shocked by it. The garden full of flowers all over the hotel, the beautiful birds flying in the sky, and the frozen fountain flowers had a huge impact on Christine's heart every time.
A woman's heart is beautiful, and romantic means are the best way to impress a woman. Xiu Yi's imaginative pursuit method, even though it was just for outsiders to see, had a profound and huge impact on Christine.
Many times Christine lay on the bed and thought repeatedly, if there was such a young man who used such a method to pursue her before she got married, then she probably wouldn't be called the Countess of Weston.
However, the young man who can use so many pursuit methods does not really have his heart on him. On the contrary, one side of him is bright, romantic, and gentle, while the other side is cruel, cold, and full of murderous intent.
It's like a combination of an angel and a devil, full of deadly temptations, making Christine gradually fascinated by him and unable to extricate herself from being in contact with Xiu Yi.
Although she told herself repeatedly that she and Xiuyi were just a combination of interests and a relationship of mutual use, but feelings were never controlled by reason, so that in the end, Christine almost fell asleep thinking about Xiuyi every day.
But the woman didn't say anything, she just fulfilled her duties and covered up the identity of the Dardanelles. On the surface, she had no feelings for Xiu Yi, but deep down she was full of contradictions.
So when Hamblen said that sentence today, Christine half-truth said that he entered my heart. She used false acting to cover up her true emotions. At this moment, lies and truths are perfectly integrated.
Christine originally thought that she could continue to deceive herself like this, but the arrival of Earl Weston and the appearance of the name of the Misty Castle made Christine panicked.
At this moment, she finally realized that she couldn't lose Xiu Yi.
From being used to loving, this is a gradual process, but everything is so natural that Christine can't avoid it, and she can't avoid it anymore.
Unbeknownst to Christine, she has passed a test inadvertently.
Earl Weston is a very cautious person. The reason why he told Xiu Yi about the Mist Castle was because he doubted whether the Dardanelles were the helpers invited by Christine to deal with him. It is impossible for him not to know that the Weston family provided guarantee for the Dardanelles, allowing the Dardanelles to buy 60% of the materials of Royo City at a tenth of the price. In his opinion, Christine is not a person who can be so generous. So he really wanted to know if Christine made the decision because she fell in love with the heir of the family. If that's the case, he can rest assured, but if not, then he has to be careful, because there may be some secret collusion.
It must be said that Earl Weston's thinking was very comprehensive and quite intelligent, but Christine's performance just showed that she was really in love with Sisther Darnell, and on the contrary deceived him unintentionally. No one thought of this.
At this moment, Xiu Yi let out a long breath, after Christine confided her heart.
Suddenly, he felt another burden in his heart.
If possible, he would be more willing to let each other maintain the previous relationship of mutual use. In that case, at least it will not be so emotionally burdensome.
On the contrary, Christine felt much better.
She completely put herself into Xiu Yi's arms, and buried herself completely in Xiu Yi's arms.
She took Huey's hand and said, You're going, aren't you?
Huey laughed bitterly.
There was nothing he could do to deceive or hide from the other party in this matter, he could only nod.
Yes, I will buy that castle and make it the base of the Dardanelles. Since the castle is only dangerous to alchemists, at least I only need to worry about my own safety.
But……
No, but, Christine, just like you said, it has a fatal temptation for any alchemist who is fanatical about alchemy.
It's just like you are to me. I know that falling in love with you will not lead to good results, but I still... Christine choked up. Now she is no longer that coquettish wealthy widow, but more like an ignorant girl who has just tasted feelings.
For Xiu Yi, she has an indescribable fascination.
I don't want to lose you, Huey, she said softly.
He raised his head, and the tears welled up in his eye sockets, which made Xiu Yi feel pity in his heart.
The delicate red lips were swaying in front of his eyes, which made him want to taste them.
In the stories known to outsiders, there have been countless heart-pounding physical entanglements between Huey and Christine, but in fact, they have never been as close as they are today.
Huey couldn't restrain the fiery desire rising in his heart anymore, he hugged Christine and kissed her deeply.
In that fiery tenderness, even an iron man would be melted. At this moment, the two of them forgot everything at the same time, such as the Castle in the Mist, and the Earl of Weston, let them all go to hell. The temptation of alchemy and the danger of death have become the catalyst of feelings at this moment. If there is a danger waiting for you, then before you go to it, let yourself have fun at least once. Even if you die, you can't leave any regrets.
A man and a woman who were originally extremely rational let go of all their worries at the same time.
Xiu Yi's hands wandered unscrupulously on Christine's body, quickly tearing off the precious Chinese clothes. Christine's lips did not leave Xiu Yi, and she hurriedly took off Xiu Yi's clothes. While the two were kissing each other tightly and unwilling to separate, they miraculously completed the important task of undressing. Xiu stood up, threw Christine on the bed, and pressed her whole body on top of her.
Following that fierce stabbing, Christine's moving panting of satisfaction came from the room.
