Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 4 Lasseter
What is the most painful thing in the world?
It's when the thing you've dreamed of is presented to you, but you don't have the chance to get it.
When the host called out the words Electra's broken pages, Huey sighed, knowing he couldn't go.
The temptation of this thing to him is like a flame that stirs moths, a beautiful woman who seduces a satyr, a gambler who has lost in the eyes of a loan shark...
Turning around slowly, Xiuyi looked at the few simple pages of the book, which looked so charming under the illumination of the magic lamp.
However, this item did not arouse the fanatical pursuit of high-rollers. In fact, many people were not even willing to raise their hands, and they seemed completely uninterested.
It's not surprising that Xiu Yi felt this. It can't be said that Electra's inheritance is not attractive, but it's all because of Electra's bad note-taking habits-the fault of writing wherever he thinks.
When she came into contact with Electra's notes for the first time on Purgatory Island, Huey discovered the fatal flaw of the great alchemist when taking notes. He never refused to take notes neatly, and he was always vague when explaining problems, and what he wrote down was often a hammer here and a mallet here. Often, for a sentence you see on this page, you have to turn to more than ten pages before you can find the next sentence. This situation even spreads between different notes.
There were incomplete records about flesh and blood puppets on Purgatory Island, and the remaining parts were found in the two notebooks found in Wenlington and Fragrant Leaf City, which really made Xiuyi speechless.
In other words, in order to understand Electra's notebooks, you first need two basic conditions: one, have enough Electra's notes. Two: Have enough patience to play the word split game.
This is also the reason why a baby like this can only call out a thousand Golden Witts in the end, but no one answers. Who can understand the three broken pages in a notebook?
But for Huey, all confusion is not confusion. Even if it was just a sentence written by Electer, he would try his best to get it. Who knows if that sentence is a supplement to the incompletely recorded content in other notes?
Huey raised his hand. He was about to bid, but saw Clark coming back from the front door again. It seemed that the guy's conscious reaction was quite fast.
Seeing that Xiu Yi had indeed returned to the auction hall, Clark smiled ferociously and strode towards Xiu Yi.
He came to Xiu Yi's side and whispered in an unquestionable tone: Come out with me, boy, if you are obedient, I will use less force!
Are you sure? Xiu Yi asked back.
Just as Clark was about to say something, the host on the stage had already called out: Sir, aren't you going to bid?
Only then did Xiu Yi realize that his hands were still raised in the air, and after turning his mind, he turned back and said to the auctioneer, Of course, I'll bid, three hundred Gold Witts.
Everyone was stunned.
The host stammered a little: Sir, I think you didn't hear clearly, the reserve price of these few torn pages is a thousand gold vits.
Is that so... Xiu Yi said in a thoughtful state, Okay then, I'll offer four hundred, it can't be any higher.
The host was a little angry: Sir, I think you haven't figured out the situation. This is not a place where you can play games. The reserve price of this thing is one thousand gold vits, it's one thousand!
Five hundred! Xiu Yi waved his hand again, as if I was easy to talk to.
The host couldn't bear it anymore. Even if the other party had already bought a piece of goods from him, he couldn't openly challenge the honor of the auction house.
Get that guy out! the host yelled.
Several warriors came over, and they were about to grab Xiu Yi. Huey yelled: Hey, hey, you can't treat a noble guest like this, do you know who I am? Well, well, I'll give you a thousand Golden Wittes! A thousand! But I want that now!
The host's face finally looked better: It's not too bad.
This sentence is very ambiguous. In fact, he is saying that the price is about the same, but in other people's understanding, it also includes that the host agrees to give the other party the broken page now.
Just as Xiu Yi was about to go on stage, Clark grabbed Xiu Yi and said viciously, Hand over Feng Yu, or you will die!
Xiuyi pointed to Clark and said to the nearby warriors, Someone doesn't want me to spend here.
Those warriors pressed towards Clark together: Boy, let go of your hand, I think you know where you are standing now.
Clark flinched helplessly and backed away.
Xiu Yi quickly jumped onto the stage, put the three broken pages into her arms, and then bowed to the host: Thank you very much for your generosity, but there is something I want to tell you.
What? The host froze.
I didn't bring so much money. Xiu Yi said seriously.
Then he stood at attention, saluted, and punched the host in the face.
The host fell off the stage with a plop, and Xiu Yi echoed and shouted: Don't do it yet! Clark!
Damn it! Clark yelled at Huey asshole.
But the next moment, several warriors had stepped forward to try to catch Clark, and several warriors rushed towards Xiu Yi.
Xiu Yi quickly jumped towards the side door and entered the collection room, just as she bumped into a maid who was walking with an antique vase.
Ah! The maid screamed, the vase flew out of her hand, and the person fell down.
Xiu Yi paused on his toes, spun around on the spot, and forcibly stopped his rushing steps. He stretched out his left hand to support the maid's waist, and stretched out his right hand to catch the falling vase.
The maid looked at Xiu Yi in horror, and Xiu Yi casually sent the vase to the maid's arms: I'm sorry, beautiful lady.
With a little force, Xiu Yi helped the maid up, and Xiu Yi ran out.
Several warriors chased out from the hall, bumping into the maid who was stupefied by Xiu Yi.
The vase fell out of his hands again, and with a bang, it fell to the ground and shattered.
Xiu Yi glanced back, shook her head and sighed, and ran out of the door again.
Outside the door, the berserker was still fighting. He had gone berserk, and his muscles were as hard as iron. However, he was fighting with two high-level warriors, one of whom was an earth warrior.
Why are you still fighting? Xiu Yi tilted her head.
He casually took out a cloud bomb from the ring, threw it on the ground, and a large cloud of smoke rose on the spot.
The berserker roared and shouted again and again, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm.
It was completely an instinctive reaction, he punched the person who was approaching, but was grabbed by the opponent.
It's me! Xiu Yi said in a low voice, Come with me.
The berserker froze, and was dragged away by Xiu Yi.
When the clouds cleared, there were no traces of Xiu Yi and the Berserker.
The earth warrior's face was livid: Asshole! Send someone to make a list immediately, and we must catch that guy!
—————————
On the outskirts of Raven City, Xiu Yi and the Berserker were cooking a wildfire in a wilderness. In Xiu Yi's hand, he was roasting a wild juvenile, and when it was almost roasted, he tore off a thigh and handed it to the berserker: Here.
The berserker took it, chewed it in his mouth, and ate a thigh in two or three bites.
Seeing how he was gobbling, Xiuyi obviously had been hungry for a long time. Slave owners always like to subdue those stubborn guys through hunger, which can not only save food, but also weaken each other.
If it's not enough, you can eat it all, Huey said.
The berserker was also polite, snatched the whole roasted juvenile, and lowered his head to gnaw wildly.
Xiu Yi smiled, took out the jerky from the ring, and ate it on her own.
The berserker was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiu Yi conjure these things out of nothing, but he didn't say anything, just continued to eat.
What's your name? Huey asked.
Lasseter. What about you?
Heins Strike, but that's not a real name. My real name is Hugh Yglell.
Oh. The berserker seemed unresponsive, obviously he had never heard of this name.
How did you become a slave? Huey asked him.
A fleet from the Southern Continent ransacked my village. Lasseter's eyes flashed a gloomy look: They brought a large number of armed forces in the name of doing business. They hide from those who are stronger than themselves, trade with those with similar strength, and burn, kill and loot those who are not as strong as them.
I didn't expect businessmen to do this kind of thing.
Some merchants will, some merchants will not. This auction house belongs to the Born family. Half of this family are pirates and half are merchants. My village was ransacked by them, and many people died.
They are very powerful in the local area?
The Lord of Raven City has a very close relationship with the Born family. Lasseter looked at Xiu Yi with a strange look: You don't know? Your behavior just now has provoked the entire Raven City.
Xiu Yi was also slightly taken aback, and he smiled wryly: Sometimes things are like this, the more you don't want to cause trouble, the more trouble will come after you.
Lasseter shrugged his shoulders. He was a slave anyway, and the situation couldn't be worse than it is now, so he didn't care. He just lowered his head and ate wildly. It seemed that he wanted to fill his stomach before he died. A roast juvenile weighing more than ten kilograms was left with only a skeleton in a blink of an eye.
After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Xiu Yi stood up.
Lasseter asked him, Where are you going?
Where else can I go, of course it is to go back to Raven City. Xiu Yi said lightly.
Are you crazy? What are you going back for? The berserkers in the Eastern Continent not only fought fiercely, but also had always been arrogant, but even so, they were not so mad that they would go back to die knowing that they had offended the entire Raven City.
I have to go back to Raven City, I'm going to buy some materials there. Xiuyi said seriously.
Are you an alchemist? Lasseter understood a little.
Xiuyi nodded: Yes, just before I met you, I just figured out a few problems in alchemy, which might help me solve some problems and create some good things. Before my inspiration disappears, I must realize them first.
But you're a wanted man now.
I'm used to it. Huey shrugged.
Although she looked indifferent on the surface, Xiu Yi was also puzzled, why couldn't she get rid of the fate of being wanted wherever she went?
