Almighty Alchemist

When Huey followed the Marquis of Napleton to his Marquis's mansion, Napleton was no longer as arrogant as before.

Although he was still a bit embarrassed, Napleton was much more polite when he spoke, but he still maintained the arrogance unique to nobles.

Hugh Igles, this is the Marquis's mansion. Feller is in his room now, and my servants will take you there. I'm going to change clothes, and I'll be here later. The Marquis of Napleton left after saying this.

Huey didn't care about the attitude of the Marquis of Napleton.

This is not the first time he has dealt with these great nobles, and he knows that they are a group of greedy and fearful wolves who are strong outsiders but do nothing. If Xiuyi is essentially a businessman, then these nobles are essentially robbers. In their view, the equality they give you is already a kind of preferential treatment.

So Huey said to the servant of the Napleton family, Take me to your master's room.

He planned to heal the young master's hand and leave immediately.

He didn't know that at this time, the Marquis of Blatt also came to the residence of the Marquis of Napleton at this time.

Are you sure that's the case? Marquis Napleton was a little surprised by what Marquis Bratt told him.

Indeed, His Majesty told me that he is willing to exchange his ten years of life for those technologies, but it's a pity that Hugh Iglell won't let go... Marquis Bratt showed a troubled expression on his face.

Why is this happening? Your Majesty can do it directly.

No, you must know that Your Majesty Isado and His Majesty are very good friends. When His Majesty Isado invited Xiu Igleer to come, he once swore in the name of the Elder of the Scourge Church and the name of the gods that the Sierra Empire and the Scourge Church would not take any coercive actions against him. This means that as long as Xiu Iglesel does not nod, we will not be able to obtain any technology from him, except for those things for which we have already paid a huge price.

Then Your Majesty...

Your Majesty is very distressed. You know what it's like to have a treasure mountain in front of you but you can't dig it?

Yes, I can fully understand it. This is why Xiu Yiglaer dared to be so arrogant. He relied on His Majesty Isado's protection. In my opinion, His Majesty Isado is too merciful. In fact, even if we attack Xiu Yiglaer, as long as we don't say anything, no one will know.

That's what I said, but who should do it? You must know that this is something that may arouse His Majesty's anger. Your Majesty can't openly order... Who told them to be good friends. Marquis Blatt showed a trace of distress on his face: That's how things are. What should have been simple has become complicated. As long as we catch that kid and torture him, we can easily get all the content we want. No one in this world is not afraid of death, right?

Of course, if that kid falls into my hands, I promise he will tell everything.

Unfortunately, we don't have that order. Although His Majesty is so eager to obtain those technologies... Marquis Bratt showed endless regret in his eyes.

Perhaps because he felt that he had said too much, Marquis Blatt bowed to Marquis Napleton: Ah, I came to see if your son's hand has been healed. Since you have just returned, I will leave first. If there is any good news, please notify me as soon as possible. By God, your son will definitely recover.

Thank you for your concern, Marquis Bratt.

After seeing off Bratt, Napleton walked around his room a few times with his hands behind his back.

Blatter has just made it very clear.

His Majesty the Emperor wants those technologies, those technologies that only Hugh Iglell has. But considering the meaning of the patriarch Isado's crown, he cannot openly issue such an order. That is likely to lead to a break between the royal family and the church.

But as an imperial official, if you want to rise to the top, sometimes you have to learn to share the master's worries and solve problems. There are many things that need not be said by His Majesty the Emperor before you can do them. You don't necessarily need His Majesty the Emperor to give an order in person before you can do it. Sometimes as long as the emperor reveals the slightest meaning, you have to understand it immediately, and then do things well by yourself. Of course, this kind of behavior without permission is likely to cause the emperor to scold you, but secretly, he will be very happy for your sensibleness. He may give you some mild punishment on the surface, but in the end he will give you very substantial benefits, such as promotion.

The Marquis of Napleton has been in the position for too long. It is a pity that as the Minister of Law, he is in charge of the laws of the country. Although he has a high position and authority, it is a pity that this position is not easy to achieve political achievements. The places that are most likely to make political achievements are always the key departments such as war and finance. Therefore, it has always been difficult for Marquis to have the opportunity to go further in his official career.

But today, God seems to have given him a chance.

The kid who made His Majesty the emperor restless is in his house right now.

He is preparing to treat his son.

It's just him, and there's no preparation.

Napleton's eyes narrowed.

Maybe... this is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds?

Even if His Majesty Isado knew about it, since it was not an order from His Majesty himself, he would not be considered a breach of his oath. Similarly, as long as he can obtain those technologies, all mistakes will disappear, and what awaits him will be a huge reward from the emperor.

Thinking of this, Napleton rang the bell, and a servant entered.

Go and call Bicom and the others over quickly, and then secretly gather all the family warriors. After the guest heals Master Feller's injury, let me know immediately.

Yes, sir.

———————————

The potion was applied to Feller's hands, making him feel a little itchy.

He wanted to scratch it.

Xiu Yi pressed his hand and said, Don't move, that's the inevitable feeling when new flesh is formed. Don't worry, just lie down for a day, and you will be fine.

Feller struggled to sit up: Hugh Igles, I am very grateful to you for curing my hand, but I want to tell you that after my hand is healed, I will still challenge you and fight you to a duel to defend the dignity and glory of my Napleton family!

I don't need your gratitude. If you come to me again, I'll break both of your legs, and I promise to break them to the point where I can't even cure them. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll throw you into the livestock pen and watch you roll in the cesspit. Huey gave Ferrer a vicious warning, which made the kid turn pale.

Seeing Ferrer's horrified look, Huey chuckled lightly: Look, you are not as brave as you imagined, and you still lack too much experience and training.

With that said, he walked out of the room.

A servant was already waiting in front of the room. When he saw Xiu come out, he walked up to Xiu Yi and said respectfully: Master's instruction, if the young master's injury is all right, please sit in his study. He hopes to express his gratitude to you in person. For this reason, he specially prepared some small gifts.

Oh? Xiu Yi raised her eyebrows.

Yes. The servant replied, My lord said, it's a gift that you will definitely be interested in.

Xiu Yi was very surprised.

If his feeling is not wrong, before the Marquis of Napleton took him to treat his son, he still had full opinions on himself. How could the Marquis become so hospitable all of a sudden after only a while?

Xiuyi thought for a while, and said to the servant: Master Feller's injury has just been healed, isn't the Marquis going to come and have a look?

The servant replied: Sir, the Marquis is naturally very relieved.

Xiu Yi's face darkened.

Is that so? He said to himself, bowed his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, Since your lord is so polite, you should lead the way.

The servant led Xiu Yi to the depths of the Marquis's mansion.

While following the servant, Xiuyi looked around boredly. He noticed that he hadn't met anyone along the way.

When he came to a long corridor, he asked the servant casually: The Marquis's mansion is so big, there should be many servants?

A look of pride immediately appeared on the servant's face: Of course. The Napleton family has hundreds of servants alone.

Hundreds of servants... Xiu Yi nodded, If that's the case, there should be at least two gardeners in a garden, right?

Four, replied the servant.

That's interesting, Huey said. He stood at one end of the corridor and looked at the garden in the distance: Since there are four gardeners, why didn't I see any one in that garden?

The servant was stunned, and replied in a panic: They... they may have gone... to do other things. You know, there are always many things in the Marquis's Mansion.

So that's the case. Xiu Yi nodded.

He suddenly jumped out of the corridor and walked quickly to the garden, saying at the same time: These flowers are very beautiful. Some of them have never been seen in the Northern Continent. I want to admire them.

The servant was a little anxious: Sir, the master is still waiting for you in the study.

No hurry. Huey said as he strolled in the garden.

Suddenly he stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed a handful of flowers, then stretched out his fist to the servant and said, Guess what I caught?

What? The servant didn't understand.

Xiu Yi opened his hand, and a small bee buzzed out of his hand.

A bee. Xiu Yi had a smug smile on her face, as if she was very proud of her actions.

A bee? The servant was a little dizzy.

And there's more than one. Xiuyi said seriously, his right hand moved continuously, and even caught a few more little bees, and then let them fly.

It's strange, I didn't see them at all. The servant couldn't figure out what was going on. Why didn't he see any bees flying here beforehand.

Huey winked at the servant: Strange? Actually, it's not necessary. You should know that a magician can always see many things that others can't, and can do things that others can't.

Are you a magician? exclaimed the servant.

Yes, do you need proof? Xiu Yi flipped his wrist, and a crystal ball suddenly appeared in his palm.

His eyes swept across the crystal ball slightly, with a mocking smile in his eyes.

With a slight movement of the wrist, the crystal ball disappeared.

The servant admired Xiu Yi's actions, but fortunately he did not forget his mission: Uh... Dear Mr. Greer, I think maybe we shouldn't compete with a few little bees here. You know, it is actually very rude to keep a Marquis waiting for a long time. The servant carefully reminded Xiu Yi.

You're right, so I won't let him wait too long. Xiuyi said, but continued to linger among the flowers.

For a while he leaned close to a flower to smell its fragrance, and for a while he came to another large cluster of flowers and stopped to admire the bright colors of these plants. He gently touched the petals with his fingers, as if he fell in love with these beautiful flowers, and plant seeds fell out of his hands without anyone noticing.

Everywhere, some seeds are scattered on the ground.

The servant waited anxiously, but did not dare to urge her, but Xiuyi walked around casually, as if walking in her own garden.

He wandered around for a long time before saying to the servant, I've seen it all, let's go now.

The servant wiped off his sweat before taking Xiuyi to the study.

The Marquess of Napleton was already waiting for Xiuyi in the study.

Seeing Xiu Yi approaching, the Marquis laughed heartily: Thank you very much, Mr. Greer, you cured my son's hand.

You can forget that I hurt your son. I am very grateful.

Oh, that's all in the past. The Marquis waved his hands, as if he had completely forgotten everything that happened before: For a distinguished guest like you, how could I care about those little misunderstandings? I hope you can forgive me for my earlier faux pas.

Your honored guest? Huey looked at the Marquis, Lord Napleton, so you know who I am?

Of course. The Marquis's expression became serious: Hugh Igles, the genius who turned the Lance Empire upside down, I heard that you have obtained the alchemy inheritance of the entire Lance Empire and Electra. You are the only person in this world who can make teleportation circles and space rings.

You're wrong about one thing.

What? The Marquis was taken aback.

The teleportation circle and the space ring were invented by me, and I didn't learn from anyone.

The jazz was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: That's right, as I said, you are an extraordinary genius. Then... The Marquis stood up and poured a glass of red wine for Xiuyi himself: For your genius, for your generosity, and for your ability to come to the Southern Continent, let's have a toast.

Thank you, but I don't want to drink for the time being. Xiuyi declined the Marquis' persuasion.

It's just a glass. The Marquis's attitude was extremely attentive: It's my apology for my previous rudeness to you.

The wine glass was brought to Xiu Yi's side, it was as red as blood.

Xiu Yi looked at the red wine and finally nodded: That's fine.

He drank the wine in one gulp.

Napleton was relieved to see Huey drink down the wine.

He sat back on his seat again, and his tone suddenly turned cold: Then, Mr. Hugh Iglell, considering the harm you caused my son, should you take appropriate compensation?

Compensatory behavior? I thought I had made it up. I cured your son's hand.

That's not enough. The Marquis of Napleton said: My son's heart has been hit, and he has suffered tremendous mental and physical pain. In addition, there is my family. Napleton is a family with an ancient and long history. No one has ever disrespected this family. Your actions have also hurt the dignity and glory of my family.

Is that so? Xiu Yi nodded, Then how do you want me to compensate you?

It stands to reason that considering the harm you caused to a nobleman, you can only use your life to make up for it. But for the sake of your timely remedy, I want to give you a chance.

what chance?

As we know, you are the only person in this world who knows the technology of teleportation circle and space ring. As long as you are willing to hand over all the alchemy you know, then this matter will be canceled like this. What do you think?

Sounds good. Xiuyi shrugged: It's just good for you. So, what if I refuse?

The face of the Marquis of Napleton darkened: You'd better choose to reject these two words carefully. I don't like being rejected. Hugh Igleser. Maybe I should tell you something, the glass of wine you drank... I poisoned it.

Xiu Yi's complexion became very strange.

He looked down at himself, as if checking his body, but his pale face betrayed him, revealing the panic in his heart. Satisfied, Napleton burst out laughing.

What kind of bullshit did Hugh Igles, who turned the Lance Empire upside down, be caught by him?

He doesn't even need a samurai.

Looking up, Huey looked at the Marquis of Napleton coldly: I have a question that I don't understand, Lord Napleton, I wonder if you can give me an answer.

Tell me, if I'm in a good mood, I'll answer you. Napleton said casually, and he could see that this kid was trying to maintain his composure.

What made you dare to attack me? I am a guest invited by Isado, are you not afraid of his wrath? Or is this simply ordered by him?

No, no one's permission. Napleton shook his head: But there are some things that don't require someone else's permission to do it. As long as I catch you and force you to hand over the alchemy you have, then I have made a great contribution to the empire. His Majesty Isado may be angry, but so what? I have made a great contribution to the empire! I did it for the benefit of the country, and he can't do anything to me.

So this is just your personal behavior?

certainly.

That would be much easier. Xiu Yi nodded.

What? Napleton was taken aback.

I said that would be much easier. Since no one directly instructs you to do this, it means that you will not get any public support before your action is completed. You are right about one thing. If you successfully capture me and force me to hand over all the alchemy, you are indeed likely to become a hero of the empire. But have you ever thought about it, what if you can't force the alchemy?

Napleton's heart skipped a beat.

Xiu Yi has already sneered: If you catch me but get nothing, then what will happen? Kill me? Then you will lose even what you already have. Am I right? So you dare not kill me.

You! Napleton was furious, but Huey was right, he didn't dare to kill Huey.

If Xiu Yi really died, then he would be the first to suffer. His Majesty's wrath will wipe the entire Napleton family from the empire.

And Huey pointed this out very astutely.

However, at the next moment, Xiu Yi said again: But this is not the worst. The worst situation is that you attacked me but failed, and I ran away. Then what will happen? It will probably give me the opportunity to escape from the southern continent, which will lead to a complete breakdown of my relationship with the Sierra Empire and the Scourge Church. Considering the serious consequences behind this incident, I guess your emperor may use your death to appease my anger!

Speaking of this, Xiu Yi slowly stood up: Unfortunately, what you encountered was exactly the worst kind of situation...you didn't really catch me.

Napleton was taken aback: You, how can you still move? It's impossible! You've already drank...

Spiritual juice is an overbearing and terrifying poison. People who take it will be unable to move and become as limp as mud. Xiuyi replied easily.

The Marquess of Napleton screamed: You know?

Xiu Yi looked at Lord Marquis with some amusement: Why don't I know? You actually poisoned an alchemist... Oh my God, this is really ridiculous. Xiu Yi put his hands on the table and put his face as close as possible to the Marquis of Napleton: I think you don't know me well enough, sir. Don't you know that besides being proficient in alchemy of space magic, the alchemy I am best at is pharmacy? That's how I started my business. You actually use eclipse to deal with it Pay me? You might as well just pour me some wine to make it more effective...

As he said that, Xiu Yi raised his hand, held down Napleton's neck, and slammed into the desk hard.
