Almighty Alchemist

For alchemists, golems have always been their most important fighting tool.

Even for Electra, the sanctuary mage back then, his capital to dominate the world was his puppet army, not his personal combat power.

However, for every alchemist, how to own an army of puppet is a great difficulty.

With the painstaking efforts of the Lance Empire for many years, up to now, there is only an army of golems with a number of about 10,000.

Among them, the biggest key to restricting the number of puppets is manpower and material resources.

Huey once did a basic calculation.

If you want to build a diamond puppet army with a number of about 10,000, you will need to consume almost all the materials in the Lance Empire for a year, and you will need to use a lot of manpower with more than 1,000 people to do it.

This is obviously an impossible plan.

Even in the Purgatory Island project, the Lance Empire failed to achieve such a large-scale investment. After all, there are many daily fields that still need the support of alchemy.

So how do you get yourself to have such an army? Huey didn't know how Electra did it in the first place, but Huey had his own method.

This is another important meaning of the existence of the Dardanelles.

Through the industrialization process of alchemy as mentioned above, an alchemy factory is openly established, and then the production is carried out in a grand manner.

Through huge profit grabbing, using market behavior to openly purchase a large amount of materials, not only facing the Lance Empire, but also facing other neighboring countries outside the empire, and at the same time, through the recruitment of a large number of workers, secret production.

Secret production is obviously the most basic requirement of any alchemy. No one would want their unique alchemy production method to be leaked, and Xiuyi has enough reasons to do so. The workers will carry out production operations according to the assembly line method developed by Huey. They only need to know what they should do, but they will not know what they are doing and what effect it has.

Some of these processed finished products will be combined into products needed to grab profits and flow to the market, and some will flow to his secret laboratory through Xiu Yi's hands, and after final processing and composition, they will form King Kong puppets.

For this reason, Xiu Yi did not hesitate to take out the metal extraction solution as part of the investment.

This metal extract was created and invented by Electra, and it is also one of the main materials for making undead demon rats and King Kong puppets. Huey will sell part of the produced metal extract to the market and return part for his own use.

As the destined person in charge of the future alchemy factory, Xiu Yi has too many opportunities to manipulate all this as he pleases.

Of course, the consequence of all these actions is that the factory's profits will be greatly reduced, but it doesn't matter, Xiuyi has long been prepared for this. For example, the original cost of a scout bee is only five Kingwitts. After Huy's improvement, cutting corners and reducing the technical cost of production, the minimum cost may only need two Kingwitts. When the scout bees are mass-produced, the price will be reduced to thirty gold verts, and the sales volume will increase tenfold. What Xiu Yi promised to the other party was a 50/50 profit, which meant that he could get a lot of benefits from it, and he didn't have to worry about anyone finding out. And after those merchants get enough profits, it is impossible to ask Xiuyi to provide mass production methods, otherwise Xiuyi has the right to terminate the cooperation.

Everything has been finalized at the beginning of the plan. In this plan, what Xiu Yi has to do is to attract enough people to provide funds and protection for his cover-up.

Of course, for the merchants who were kept in the dark, the bright prospect Xiuyi can provide them is enough to make everyone excited.

In fact, after hearing Xiu Yi's grand and far-reaching vision, many people in the hall couldn't hold back their excitement, and wanted to have a good talk with Xiu Yi about cooperation issues. Some people who were not familiar with Xiu Yi were also full of interest in this business after knowing that the Qi Trading Company and the Bavarian family had already established a good cooperation foundation with each other, and that the young heir of the family did possess some unique alchemy skills.

It seems that this is a huge investment project, and it is impossible for the Dardanelles to rely on their own family to complete this project. And even if they can complete it, they don't plan to be so stupid that they can eat alone in Winnington. They must recruit a group of dignitaries to help them complete the plan without hindrance.

Obviously this is a very smart young man. He not only knows how to do things, but also how to behave, so he openly expresses his thoughts on this occasion.

This made everyone look at him strangely. It was hard to imagine that a boy under the age of seventeen would have such a delicate thought and majestic handwriting.

As for the girls from the nobles, when they looked at Xiu Yilaer, their eyes were full of extraordinarily enthusiastic.

There were envy, jealousy, admiration, and even love in those countless strange eyes.

————————

What do you think of Sissyda Daniel? A noble lady asked her companion, shaking a feather fan.

He's not bad looking, and he's very smart, replied his partner.

The important thing is that he looks rich, and look at the castle, it's beautifully done up here, another companion said.

Do you think what he just said is bragging, or is it possible?

It's not something we can understand. I don't even know where he is and what he is capable of. But it can be seen that he is not talking nonsense. Have you not noticed that the people around him are all well-known big businessmen in Winnington? Do you think people like O'Conman Dodge, Viscount Ladour, and Mr. Jean Brett are businessmen who can be deceived at will?

So he does have the ability to treat alchemy as a big industry?

Oh, don't use those nasty business terms. We are women and shouldn't understand business, but I at least if there are a group of businessmen who are listening carefully to what a teenager has to say, it means that what he said must be valuable.

So he is indeed very capable. The partner's eyes were shining brightly: A young, handsome, well-born, and very capable guy. I don't know if he is engaged?

You little brat, don't forget that this is the castle hidden in the mist, maybe tomorrow you will hear the news that the young heir died in the castle.

Didn't you hear that he was assuring those merchants that he would not easily enter the tower? That's right, Hugh Igles who was not far away was making a solemn promise to every merchant that he would never use his life to explore unknown secrets. This made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

So you're attracted to him? the partner asked.

Oh, look at the girls around you, how many are not tempted? The other party made a charming voice.

The girls covered their mouths and laughed lightly.

———————————

When the girls' laughter and laughter reached Bateson's ears, it seriously stimulated his already sensitive nerves.

He has been standing in the crowd, clearly seeing that rival in love expounding his thoughts vigorously surrounded by everyone, and quietly encouraging everyone to invest in him and his family.

It seems that many people are quite tempted by this.

All they need is some time for the young master of the family to prove his abilities.

Not far away, Christine was snuggling beside Xiuyi, and Bateson's anger rose violently with that little bird's clinging appearance.

He swore that he would kill the bastard who stole his heart, and let Christine take a good look at how the boy he liked begged for mercy and had no dignity under Bateson Banister's sword.

Also let all the girls know who the most outstanding man in Winnington is.

The anger of jealousy burned the last of his reason, and Bateson finally stood up.

He strode up to Xiu Yi, took off the white gloves from his hands, and threw them at Xiu Yi's feet.

Catheda Daniel? I, the heir to the Banister family, Bateson Banister, challenge you for the beautiful Christine.

At this moment, everyone looked at Bateson with surprised eyes.

Standing proudly in the gaze of the crowd, Bateson fixed his eyes on his rival.

Huey, who was discussing the details with friends, didn't seem shocked by the sudden scene.

He gave Bateson a meaningful look, then waved, and a waiter came to him.

With great grace, he put the wine glass in his hand on the plate in the waiter's hand, and then Xiuyi said to Bateson: Mr. Bateson, I don't understand why you want to duel with me.

For Christine! This reason is enough, you shameless villain, you don't deserve her! She is mine, and I love her! Bateson roared angrily.

Xiu Yi showed a disdainful mockery on her face: Own? No, I don't own any women. You must know that women are the most outstanding masterpiece of the Creator, and they are worthy of men's pursuit and love. For the women we like, we offer our warmest love and sincerity, and humbly bow down at their feet, just like worshiping the sun.

This remark drew applause from most of the women present.

Xiuyi continued: Christine is my good friend. I only have a protective heart for her, and I have no intention of blasphemy. If you are dissatisfied with my friendship with Christine, it means that you want her to be lonely and not be able to make any male confidants. This should never be the way a gentleman loves a lady.

Thunderous applause broke out again at the scene, making Bateson blush.

You! Didn't you ever enter Christine's room? Bateson yelled.

As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate uproar at the scene.

Xiu Yi's face darkened: Is this how you slander the woman you love? In front of everyone, make me have sex with a widow? If you really love her, not to mention that there is no such thing between me and her, even if there is, you shouldn't say it in public and slander her reputation. Mr. Bateson, if this is your love, then your love is destroying a loyal woman. Oh, you want to say she is unfaithful? Then why do you love her? Her beauty or her wealth?

Nonsense! Bateson exclaimed.

But then he noticed everyone was giving him disdainful looks.

His accusation against Xiu Yi made a big mistake unintentionally, but Xiu Yi found out this mistake at the first time and quickly diverted everyone's attention.

Christine is indeed the woman who knows how to act best. Her expression at the moment is first stunned, then angry, and then tears are pouring down like rain.

She performed so wonderfully, like a wronged woman, and when she came to Bateson's side, Christine said with a whimpering voice: Bateson, I didn't expect you to say that. I used to think that you really loved me and cared about me, but today, you hurt me mercilessly. That's right, Sisser and I are good friends, that's because the Weston family and the Dardanelles have close business ties. Through the transaction with the Dardanelles, the Weston family has gained huge profits You don't have to believe what I say, but you can also ask Mr. Dodge and Viscount Ladur. The Weston family is not the only one who has benefited from the deal with the Dardanelles. Even now, everyone is still preparing to continue to carry out new cooperation plans. Under such circumstances, it is completely normal for me to get closer to Sissar Dardanelle. There are indeed rumors about me and Sisser, but in my opinion, people who really know me will naturally believe me, and I have no point in clarifying anything. This is also a test. It's a test of everyone's confidence in me, but I didn't expect that you would stand up so eagerly, insult my reputation, and at the same time challenge my good friend. You let me down so much.

As she spoke, Christine slapped Bateson hard.

This slap made the nobleman stunned on the spot, and Christine turned and left.

Everyone applauded the slap in low voices. Although their voices were very soft, the voices of countless people still gathered into a sound wave, piercing Bateson's ear like sharp needles, making him almost vomit blood.

He didn't expect that his challenge hadn't started yet, and the other party had already set him back severely with just a few words. Although he believed that it was impossible for Christine and Xiuyi to have nothing to do with each other, his behavior of exposing all this in public undoubtedly became the biggest mistake.

The rich and nobles have always had a lot of corruption in their private lives, and no one dares to say that they are clean.

However, no one has ever publicly claimed all of this, and many things are just unspoken.

It is actually very immoral for Bateson to openly declare that Christine and Sisser are having sex, and he is blaming the woman he likes.

For many people, this is intolerable.

At this moment, Xiuyi looked at Bateson coldly, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth, which further stimulated Bateson's already battered nerves.

Many people make further mistakes after being hit, and make up for small mistakes by making bigger mistakes.

The same is true for Bateson, who has no room to retreat.

He yelled and drew out his long sword, aiming at Xiu Yi: Come and fight me! In the name of the Bannister family, I want to challenge you! You can't refuse!

Huey looked at Bateson coldly: Are you sure you want to do that?

That's right! Bateson exclaimed.

That's interesting, I heard you're a sixth-level warrior. I thought the motto of a warrior was not to bully the weak, but it looks like you like to fight people who can't beat you.

There was another low sneer in the field.

Bateson's face became more and more difficult to look.

Are you afraid? Coward. If you are afraid, kneel down and apologize to me, and leave Christine forever, then I will spare your dog's life!

Xiuyi raised his eyebrows: It's an interesting request, but I think you misunderstood me. My accusation of your behavior does not mean that I am afraid of you, nor does it mean that I refuse to fight with you. But as you can see, I am just the heir of a business family. I know a little about alchemy, but I am not proficient in samurai fighting. Therefore, I believe that even if I die under your sword, no one will laugh at me because of it. On the contrary, even if you kill me successfully, you will not get anything for it Reputation and fame will discredit your family. So I am reminding you of the consequences your actions will bring to your family. Did you make such a decision while conscious?

Bateson was stunned again, he didn't expect Huey to say that.

Yes, killing an ordinary family heir who has never practiced fighting qi will not bring him any fame, but will discredit the family instead.

But...but if he hadn't done that, he would never have hoped for Christine.

At this moment, Bateson gritted his teeth: Catherta Daniel, yes, I have decided to fight you. I will kill you in the duel. But I don't want to take advantage of you. I can give you a chance. As long as you can catch my three swords without dying, I will lose this duel.

A person who is not a samurai can pick up a sixth-level samurai and survive with three swords?

The people at the scene laughed mockingly together. Bateson's behavior did not get everyone's understanding and support, but despised his behavior even more.

No one can do this.

On the other hand, Xiu Yi, after hearing the other party's words, more and more intense mockery flashed in his eyes.

Three Swords? I agree.

Everyone on the scene let out a gasp of wonder.

No, Sisser, you can't promise him, cried Mr. Dodge.

Viscount Ladur also held Xiu Yi, not allowing him to take such a risk. For them, the Dardanelle family is a cornucopia, and Siser Dardanelle is someone who can bring them huge benefits.

In any case, the young heir cannot be allowed to die under Bateson's sword.

If that's the case, not to mention that the subsequent big plan cannot be completed, even the remaining 30% of the material money that was previously owed is at risk of not being able to get it back.

This is unacceptable to them.

Don't be nervous, Mr. Dodge, Lord Viscount Radul. You know that I won't do anything I'm not sure about. To be honest, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat this Bateson sixth-level warrior, but if I want to take his three swords... Well, it shouldn't be too difficult. Xiu said confidently.

He looked at Bateson, and said loudly: I agree to accept your invitation to duel, but the space here is not spacious enough, how about going to the gate of the castle?

As he spoke, he picked up the pair of white gloves on the ground.
