Almighty Alchemist

Winnington Meteor Avenue.

The royal convoy, which was supposed to be majestic and smooth all the way, was actually stopped in the middle of the road.

This scene can also be said to be rare in a hundred years.

Emperor Strick sat in a luxurious carriage engraved with bloody roses, his old face was already covered with a thick layer of frost.

If they hadn't known in advance that the emperor had just turned forty-six years old this year, no one would have thought that the emperor's appearance would look like this. He looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies.

Bone disease is a very strange and rare disease. It can make the bones of the body weak and weak. When it develops to the end, people with this disease can only lie in bed and have no strength to stand up.

The alchemist in the palace has developed some medicines that can alleviate the emperor's symptoms, but at the cost of his life being greatly overdrawn, and this is an irreversible behavior. In terms of physical development, the forty-six-year-old Emperor Strick has indeed reached an advanced age of about seventy.

The torment of illness made Strick VI become suspicious, irritable, irritable, and murderous at every turn.

It had been a long time since anyone dared to stand and speak in front of him.

Unexpectedly, today, someone would dare to stop his car.

Hamilton sat high on his chasing horse, blocking in front of Emperor Strick's car, with a stubborn expression, not afraid of the emperor's wrath at all.

He did have something to be proud of. He became a chosen warrior of the Church of the Holy Spirit at the age of sixteen, walked out of the church at the age of twenty, and became the twelfth chosen warrior in the history of the church to complete the training of the Holy Church before his twentieth birthday, and became the deputy head of the Radiant Knights three years later. In the same year, he broke into Iron Blood Island alone and slaughtered more than 300 people on the entire island in one go. Two years later, Hamilton succeeded in killing Allinson, the leader of the Dark Knights of the Scourge. Although the operation was accomplished with the help of two holy priests, Hamilton gained fame for it.

Over the years, as long as Hamilton makes a move, there is no task that cannot be completed.

This person is vicious, cruel, and crazy. His pride not only comes from the strength of the church and his own strength, but also from the deep religious fanaticism in his heart. Faith can soothe people's hearts, or it can make people crazy. Hamilton is a typical example of the latter. In his eyes, all secular existence should make way for gods, even the emperor is no exception.

His extreme thoughts were criticized even within the Church of the Holy Spirit. In the Pope's words: Hamilton is a useful knife, but also a disobedient mad dog. You can make him do anything you're not comfortable with, but never expect him to help you politically. On the contrary, when you send him to shoot, you have to be prepared for him to complete the task but leave a mess, and wipe his ass anytime, anywhere.

It is precisely because of this that Hamilton can only be the deputy head forever, not the full head, but his vicious name makes everyone who hears his name tremble.

Hamilton, I have met His Majesty Emperor Strick. Hamilton gave a holy salute to Emperor Strick, indicating that the clergy are not within the scope of secular power.

Hampton, the star warrior, was accompanying the emperor today, and he hadn't seen him move. He had suddenly appeared and stood between Emperor Strick and Hamilton, which effectively prevented Hamilton from approaching.

Your Excellency Hamilton, we know that you have come to Winnington. If you want to catch and repair Iglesel, we will not stop it, because we are also looking for him everywhere. But you cannot block His Majesty's car at will.

Hamilton proudly said: Lord Hampton, I know how people like you think of me. You can think I'm arrogant and arrogant, but you can't think I'm stupid. Do you really think I don't know what deal was reached between the Lance Empire and Hugh Igleser? Can you really think that I don't know what happened? Of course, this is an unseemly bow, so you are still maintaining the search for him on the surface, but in fact you have withdrawn all actual actions. In this case, why don't you let us do it for you? Where's Law?

Hampton was sluggish.

On the surface, his siege of the Royal Theater and blocking of the emperor's car were unprecedented acts of provocation. Even the Church of the Holy Spirit could not so brazenly ignore the sovereignty of other countries, but who would have thought that behind Hamilton's arrogance, there was also a lot of delicate thought.

He is very clear about his Lance Empire's attitude towards Hugh Iglesle - he fears him, fears him, and wants to get rid of him.

Due to the joint efforts of the Franks and Huey, the Reims Empire had to make a low profile to avoid the alchemy that might have a major impact from wandering in other countries and cultivating powerful enemies. But behind this bowing of the head, there is also a deep unwillingness.

Hamilton was sure of this, so he dared to be arrogant and dared to do things that no one dared to do. Behind his arrogance is not only capital, but also speculation about the opponent's psychology.

His Excellency Hamilton, is your action the intention of His Majesty the Pope, or your own personal intention?

His Majesty the Pope sent me, and he gave me full power to dispose of it. You can think it is my own meaning, or it can be regarded as the meaning of His Majesty the Pope. Of course, I think it is God's will! Hamilton's voice was sonorous and powerful, with an undoubted tone.

Hampton took a few steps back and came to Emperor Strick: Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?

The old emperor's voice was gloomy: What is he going to do?

Hampton looked back at Hamilton: We need to know what action you plan to take.

My people have launched a full siege to the Royal Theater and conducted a strict search for Xiu Yigleer. Except for women and children who can be let go, everyone, especially teenagers, will be temporarily left in the theater. We will check everyone's identity.

What if you don't find it?

Then check one by one until they are found out. No one is allowed to leave until Xiu Iglesias is found. Anyone who dares to leave without permission will be treated as Xiu Igles and killed on the spot!

Hamilton's answer was full of tyranny and arrogance.

On this issue, the Church of the Holy Spirit has a clear attitude. Even if it kills 10,000 people by mistake, it will never let a single suspect go.

Even so, Hamilton already felt that he was very merciful. You must know that all his previous ideas were directly killed. If it weren't for the archbishop's repeated dissuasion, he might really do this.

This is the fundamental difference between church and state. The country worships the emperor, and the church worships the gods. The gods can be immortal, but the emperor cannot. So the country can be changed, the church cannot be changed, and the belief cannot be changed. When a Lance Empire falls, new countries will naturally rise. The church doesn't care which country is rising, as long as the people of this country still believe in the Church of the Holy Spirit and believe in them, that's enough.

Therefore, the relationship between the church and the empire is like the relationship between termites and big trees. The former eats the latter, but does not care about the fate of the latter. At worst, if the tree falls down, I will replace it with another tree. Occasionally, I can sing on the branches that I am the owner of this big tree.

Of course, this is to consider the issue from the perspective of personal interests. If you consider it from the political aspect, this kind of thing can only be thought about, not actually done, otherwise it will inevitably cause an uproar. However, as far as Hamilton is concerned, political issues have never been something he needs to consider.

He only knows one thing: clean up all existences that are harmful to the church, especially those who can influence the country's political situation like Xiu Yiglaer, and he is absolutely not allowed to stay in this world. Even if a large number of innocent people are buried for this, it is worth it.

Therefore, when he said the above words very generously, he felt that he was already extremely generous, and the other party should even thank God for his grace.

But Hampton didn't think so, he yelled: This is crazy! There are tens of thousands of people in the theater, thousands of nobles, what do you want to do? Catch all the officials of the empire?

So, His Majesty still needs to send people to assist in the process. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as you can prove your identity, we will let you go. Hamilton replied indifferently: But anyone who cannot prove his identity, or the proof is not strong enough, and his identity is suspicious, we will kill them all!

His Majesty the Emperor will not agree to such a request! Hampton said angrily.

No! Strick suddenly raised his voice: I agree, let them investigate! Hampton, you bring 3,000 guards to assist the Holy Knights. You must find Hugh Iglesel, and then... execute him on the spot!

As the voice fell, there was a sound of stomping in the distance.

Everyone looked north at the same time, seeing the shocking changes when the Arcane Tower collapsed.

———————

The collapse of the Arcane Tower was like a magnitude 10 earthquake in Winnington, shaking everyone's minds.

Countless citizens looked north together, staring dumbfounded at the place filled with gunpowder smoke.

A large cloud of smoke and dust rose from the place that was once admired and worshiped by the world, and the debris on the tower flew like snowflakes, and the residents in the nearby area ran away in fright. The flames were burning fiercely, and the sound of crackling and explosions was emitted from time to time, and the deafening rumbling sound could be clearly heard even miles away.

Everyone within a radius of tens of miles did not fail to see this spectacular collapse. People ran and shouted, asking what happened.

The arcane tower fell, and the glory that symbolized the status and dignity of the magician collapsed. It was like a loud slap, slapping Nicolas Cage hard on the face.

Royal Coliseum, circular platform.

Nicholas Cage gritted his teeth and burst out these few words: Hui...Gler, you are so ruthless!

It is indeed cruel.

At that time, the people of Lance were 50,000 poor, and it took three years and countless money and food to build this tower, which symbolized the glory of magicians. They believed that magic could bring people a better life and protect their homeland from infringement. They worshiped this mysterious and huge power, and were willing to die for it.

This belief is like faith, rooted in everyone's heart.

Today, however, it collapsed, crashing down in front of countless people. The fall of the Arcane Tower also shattered the belief in the invincibility of magicians in the hearts of countless people.

Xiu Yi used his actions to tell those high-ranking magicians that as long as he wanted, he could make magicians less valuable.

Don't push me! This is what Xiuyi wants to say, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do, and I will not hesitate to start a war for it.

He is not afraid of the Lance Empire, so what's the big deal if he offends another Mage Association?

Raschel! Nicolas Cage yelled angrily.

All the mages on the circular platform started looking for Raschel at the same time.

Raschel, however, disappeared out of thin air.

Just disappeared without a trace.

Xiuyi also noticed this vision, and he lowered his head and asked Buckler, Where are the Raschels?

I don't know, it was still there just now. When the Holy Knights rushed over, they all paid attention to the outside, and then the Arcane Tower collapsed, everyone was attracted to it, and no one noticed where Raschel went.

Damn it! Xiu Yi stomped angrily, I told you to keep an eye on him!

It was my fault. Buckler apologized.

Xiuyi looked for Raschel everywhere, but couldn't find it. Could it be that this guy slipped away because of the wrong opportunity?

No, not right.

So why did he suddenly run away?

Could it be because the Arcane Tower collapsed?

No, that's not the case.

Xiu Yi was greatly puzzled.

At this moment, the crystal ball in his arms suddenly rang.

As soon as Xiuyi waved, Christine, Buckler, and Lilith came over at the same time and surrounded him to block others' sight.

Xiuyi took out the crystal ball, and it was indeed Bamela's news.

Her face was full of eagerness: Xiu Yi, the situation is not good.

What happened?

I just found out that Padgett was imprisoned by Her Majesty the Princess before his death. Cross rushed into the prison and killed Padgett. The order the guards received was not to interfere, and it came from the royal family. That is to say...

Is this an action with the emperor's tacit approval?

Yes. Pamela replied apprehensively.

Understood. Xiu Yi nodded. Strick VI really did not bow his head so easily. He must have informed Nicolas Cage about the magic pattern, and then deliberately allowed the Arcane Tower to attack him. His bowing and begging for peace are all superficial gestures.

His real thought is actually: what he can't get, no one else can get it.

But Stricker was very smart this time. Instead of doing it himself, he chose to borrow a knife to kill someone.

Just as the Arcane Tower was going to use the Assassin's Alliance as a replacement ghost, Strick VI also chose to use people from the Arcane Tower to complete this matter. In this way, even if the Arcane Tower fails, the royal family cannot be blamed, because the Lance Empire has no direct control over the Magicians Association, and there are only two things that cannot be restrained by secular power, one is magic and the other is the church.

Once she figured this out, Xiu Yi's face immediately changed: Raschel must be very aware of this situation. He must have known that the royal family and the Arcane Tower colluded. Padgett was detained under the order of Avril? This is too bad, Raschel will definitely consider Avril as an enemy!

It's impossible for him to do anything to the princess. Buckler didn't take it seriously.

No! Xiuyi said decisively: Raschel is a smart man, he knows how to take advantage of the current situation. His own strength may not be enough to do it, but you have forgotten one thing...he has people under him.

who?

There was a ruthless look in Xiu Yi's eyes: It's the magicians who begged him to find me. Raschel, he will definitely make good use of this resource. My God, I know why he disappeared. Didn't Harry's subordinate just say that Hamilton has stopped the emperor's car?

Buckler, Christine and the others looked at each other in astonishment. Christine hurriedly asked: You mean that Raschel will use people from the Association of Magicians to harm the princess?

It must be like this! Xiu Yi almost cried out, his heart was burning with anxiety: This bastard is crazy! His best friend is dead, and he himself has an incurable disease. What is he afraid of? He dares to do anything. No wonder I asked him to follow me, and he agreed without hesitation. No wonder he dared to say that he would be able to force me out. He knows my weakness, that is... Avril.

Everyone was completely stunned.

They stared blankly at Xiu Yi.

Xiu Yi lowered her head and said to Pamela in the crystal ball: Madam, is there still time for you to catch up with Avril?

Barmela shook her head: I don't know, but I can try hard.

Then please go to Avril immediately and tell him that it was I who said that Raschel is going to harm her, and tell her to be careful of Raschel and the people from the Magicians Association, and don't let them get close to her.

Okay, I'll do it now.

The communication was interrupted, Xiu Yi put away the crystal ball, and said in a low voice, Pamela may be too late.

Christine looked at Xiu Yi worriedly: Hui Yi, you won't tell me that you are going to save her, will you?

Yes. There was a look of determination in Xiu Yi's eyes: I'm sorry for her. I only used her instead of cherishing her. It's all my fault. I let her down very much... But this time, I will do my best for her. Regardless of success or failure, there is no plan, only fighting!

Buckle sighed: But the Church of the Holy Spirit has sealed off this place, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

I can, you know. Xiu Yi looked at Master Bateson who was still staring at him not far away. He can help me out, just follow our plan just now.

But that takes time to prepare.

It's not ready, it's just like this.

What? Buckler almost jumped up in fright: No, that's too dangerous, and you haven't mastered that spell well enough.

No matter how dangerous it is, we have to do it. We have no time to delay.

After Huey finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Bateson. He shouted, Bateson, don't you want to fight me? Well then, I accept your invitation to a duel!

As he spoke, he pulled out the sword at his waist for decoration, and stabbed at Bateson without waiting for a reaction.

The sword came so urgently and quickly that Bateson was taken aback by him. Fortunately, he is a first-class warrior after all, he has already reached the threshold of a high-level warrior, and his skills and reactions are quick. With a light tap of his right thumb on his waist, an enchanted long sword had already jumped out of his palm, and he even played a sword flower casually to meet Xiu Yi's sword.

Keng, the two swords intersected, sparks flew everywhere, and Xiu Yi's sword was swung away.

Bateson's sword remained undiminished, and it stabbed fiercely at Xiuyi's chest.

He is sure that even if this sword fails to hit the opponent, it will still make this young master Siser Dardanier flustered. When the time comes, he will give him another kick and severely humiliate him, and he will be able to wipe away the original shame.

However, he didn't expect that Xiu Yi seemed to be frightened by the sword, and watched the sword stabbing him without dodging or avoiding.

With a pounce, with a soft piercing sound, the sharp sword pierced Xiu Yi's chest.

The aristocrats of Wenlington were really troubled today. They just experienced the siege of the Knights of the Church of the Holy Spirit. They have not yet escaped from this trouble.

Xiu Yi looked at the sword piercing his chest, and his face became pale.

You... Bateson yelled out, and he didn't expect that Xiu Yi couldn't even block his sword.

Pulling out his long sword, Bateson took a few steps back. A large amount of blood splashed from Xiuyi's chest, splashing on Bateson's head and face, dyeing his whole body red. At the same time, everyone screamed in fright, especially those noble ladies and girls. They closed their eyes in fright, and couldn't bear to look any more.

Their nerves are being tested today.

I didn't mean to kill him! Bateson yelled, Everyone saw it. He rushed over, and he agreed to my duel!

Oh my God! The executives of the commercial firm were so excited that they almost fainted when they saw this scene.

You won, Master Bateson, I think from today on, the grievances between you and me can be written off, right? Surprisingly, Xiuyi was still able to speak. He clutched his wound and fell down slowly, falling into the arms of Buckler who rushed over.

Siser! Hold on! Buckler yelled.

It's a pity, Uncle, I can no longer serve the family. From today...we will say goodbye. Xiu Yi said with difficulty, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

You... bastard! Buckler's eyes showed a few muddy tears, but Christine couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Things are not supposed to be this way.

Successive accidents disrupted all arrangements.

But what makes Christine most uncomfortable is that Huey will not hesitate to take the greatest risk for Avril Lavigne.

Take me... home. Xiu Yi said in weak but clear words, and at the same time let everyone hear this sentence.

Okay, let's go back now. Buckler picked up Xiuyi and walked outside the theater.

Outside the theater, several holy knights blocked the door: Without the order of Lord Hamilton, no one is allowed to leave except women and children, or they will be killed!

My nephew is dead, and I'm going to take him home now. If you want to do something, do it! Buckler expressed his anger just right.

Several knights of the Holy Knights looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward, tore off Xiu Yi's clothes, and checked his injuries. Then he turned back and said, The heart was pierced, there is no way to live again, no medicine can save it.

These two women can send him away, you stay and go back to the platform, or you will die. Another holy knight said immediately.

Buckler handed Xiu Yi into the hands of Christine and Lilith, glared at the holy knights angrily, and finally retreated unwillingly.
