Almighty Alchemist

In the small meeting room. Huo Ding is teaching Huey some tricks on deception and evasion.

Cheating is actually a kind of performance. You have to imagine yourself as an actor, and then pull everyone who watches your performance into the atmosphere you create. But no matter what kind of cheating, in fact, it is impossible to show a little bit of cheating. Perfect deception does not exist in this world. And the larger the scale of deception, the more flaws will follow.

So how can this be avoided?

There is no need to avoid it. Huo Ding replied. We can take a fictional novel as an example. Any fictional story. It is impossible to weave it seamlessly. There must be holes in the fictional world that cannot be corrected. The question is whether you hide it skillfully. If so. Why are people still fascinated by those fictional stories?

Huey thought about it. He replied: Because the story is very exciting.

The answer is correct. Houding laughed and clapped his hands: A deceit is actually the same as a fictional story. What really depends is not its seamless layout. You can never make a deception or a story without any logical loopholes. But that doesn't matter. As long as your deception has something that is passionately pursued, then the deceived will take the initiative to send it to you. They will automatically ignore the irrationality in the story and the deception. And what you have to do. Is to confirm their guess. And then make them believe that everything they want to believe is true.

Xiu Yi nodded repeatedly.

Huo Ding was so right.

Whether it was the scams he set up on Purgatory Island. Or the layouts he made after he left the island. In fact, they are far from seamless. As Houding said. A truly perfect deception cannot exist in this world. Just as it is impossible to have a story without a single loophole. The reason why people fall for it. will be deceived. Simply because they want to believe in each other.

Just like Hines. Andrew them.

They longed for themselves to be able to trust Xiu Yiglaer. Because this person can bring them great benefits. It makes them ignore the danger behind that. Even find reasons to trust each other by yourself.

This is the key to his success.

A wonderful deception lies in using as reasonable a story as possible to lower the vigilance of the other party. Then use enough temptation to make the other party force themselves to believe in this scam. And then the rest. Just a gorgeous show.

Although Huey has done it all. But he never did a meticulous tidying up in this area. Can't really understand the trick. But at this moment, it is said from the mouth of a master fraudster like Huo Ding. Immediately, Xiu Yi felt a sense of enlightenment.

At that time, Xiu Yi suddenly felt that the atmosphere here was really weird.

The most notorious criminals of the Reims Empire are packed together. They exchange their experiences of crime with each other. As if the whole world was their hunting ground. This is indeed a very funny thing.

He smiled and nodded to Huo Ding: Thank you very much for your advice.

Huo Ding replied: You are welcome. Be the same kind of person. I don't mind giving you some experience in this regard. In fact, you are surprising all of us. We thought Hugh Igles should be a vicious guy like Brian. But I didn't expect you to behave closer to me.

Actually, I need to learn a lot. For example, your tricks. And Master Ashlin's jailbreak skills. Xiuyi smiled and looked at the old man not far away.

Suppose Brian Buckler is a master of escape. Clementine Houlding Barnett was a master deceit. Then Igor Ashlin's achievements in jailbreaking can be said to be unmatched. A glorious history of escaping from the Imperial felon prison four times. Enough to make everyone pay homage to it.

As for Hugh Igleser. He himself should be regarded as a master of escape and counterattack. No one has ever been like him. in the process of fleeing. To fight back so viciously against those who pursued him.

At this moment Eagle Ashlin coughed lightly. Then slowly said: Maybe. We should bring the topic back to the main topic first. For example. Your purpose for coming here.

I think I've already answered this question. Huey smiled and looked at Huo Ding.

Huo Ding nodded: You want to deal with an agent of a government agency.

An old hound named Raschel. It seems that this person is in some trouble. I hope to solve this person before he poses a threat to me. But I hope that before I solve him, I can learn as much as possible about the government agency. And the specific concept of how to deal with it in the future. You must know that I am not very familiar with the investigation methods of the government agency. This means that when I avoid tracking and attacking, I may make some self-righteous mistakes. Their robbery. I realized it was an opportunity. Because as far as I know. This place has the best criminal talent in the empire. So I came here. Looking for opportunities to cooperate.

The three people in the living room looked at each other.

Brian Buckler, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, What can you bring us?

Hear this sentence. Huey laughed.

This is like a customer in a store saying, How much is this thing when playing with a certain product.

That means he already has the desire to buy.

obviously. Buckler was interested in the deal.

Think about it. Xiu Yi said slowly: I am wanted by the empire. My crime is a murderer. But what I want to tell you is that, in fact, I am an alchemist. I think what I can give you is something that the nobles of the empire and even the emperor can't *give.

talking. He opened a small wooden box that he carried with him.

There are forty bottles of top-level potions in it.

. . . . . . . . . .

Buckler shot Ashlin a look.

Undead mage Ashlin stepped forward. Take out a bottle of potion. Uncorked the bottle and sniffed. Immediately moved, said: Top grade.

Buckler and Houding jumped up at the same time.

Top-notch potion. It's so rare even in the Reims Empire. But right now, Hugh Igles took out as many as forty bottles at one time.

Who the hell is this boy. How could he have such a big pen.

Buckler looked at Xiuyi with greed in his eyes. A huge aura began to spread wildly around.

Buckler's aura is like a mountain. Flock to Xiu Yi frantically.

Xiu Yi smiled coldly.

Suddenly there is no wind in the room. The condensed elements of wind were summoned softly by Xiu Yi. Form a hazy cloud. Covering everyone in the room.

The element of wind gradually solidified into an entity. The image of the Wind Spirit gradually appeared. at the same time. The two blazing birds hissed angrily at the same time. The size began to grow gradually amidst the screaming sound.

Xiu Yi's cold face remained unchanged. Muttering in his mouth: In the name of the elements of heaven and earth. Give us the power not to be harmed by evil... Conservation enchantment.

A halo appeared around Xiu Yi's body. It is the fourth-level space system * art conservation enchantment.

Ashlin on the side waved his right hand. From under the robe he took out a small bone staff. There is also a ferocious skull inlaid on it.

Buckler moved. He immediately knew what his boss was thinking.

However, just before he chanted the spell. A strange energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in Xiu Yi's arms.

Undead mage Ashlin was horrified to find out. A space crack is appearing in his hand. Cut the bone staff he just took out in half.

Then a black light and shadow sprang out from Xiu Yi's arms...

at the same time. Two blazing birds spit out raging flames at Buckle at the same time...

Oh. Buckler screamed wildly. Aura recovery. The vindictive energy formed by the white light rushed up against the flames from the two blazing birds. The large group of flames was separated by the energy of battle qi. Sweeping along both sides. All at once, the entire room was turned into scorched blackness.

The Wind Spirit hissed angrily. It turned into a hurricane and rolled towards its master. Hovering Xiu Yi in the whirlwind.

next moment. Xiu Yi coldly spit out words full of death breath: The wind blows.

The long sword penetrates the whirlwind. Pointing to Buckler from afar. His figure flickered. Unpredictable.

This made Buckle immediately vigilant. I didn't dare to make another shot for a while.

Two blazing birds hovered above Xiu Yi's head. Keep a close eye on Buckler. See if he has any other changes.

As for Ashlyn. After his cane was cut off. It never moved again.

in front of him. A black puppy was staring at him. Made a low, angry growl.

This undead mage has a strong instinct for danger. He noticed it immediately. As long as you dare to move. The puppy in front of him may become the last nightmare of his life. He was originally a powerful healer. But because he hadn't done any combat preparations before. At this moment, all the powerful spells have no chance to be used. He was threatened by a black dog.

Huo Ding yelled in horror: Don't be impulsive. We have no malicious intentions.

in this room. He is the only one without combat power. He didn't think about it either. After Ashlin confirmed that these medicines were top grade. The three of them made an attack at the same time. And it seems that Xiu Yiglaer was already prepared.

And his strength is obviously much stronger than everyone expected.

Stop. Everyone stop. Buckler also yelled.

The shock caused by Huey's gust of wind to Buckler is absolutely unprecedented.

He never thought that this young man had such strong strength. It can even use elemental spirits to transform into a guardian whirlwind. Give yourself excellent mobility. All while maximizing his samurai's combat skills.

If only this is the case. But he actually has space * skills. A fourth-level conservation barrier is enough to offset a considerable amount of damage from a high-level warrior. Coupled with the existence of two blazing birds. Buckler was not sure that he could easily deal with such a combination.

Obviously there are three people against one in the room. But now it feels like Buckler. But it seems that the other party has a large group of people dealing with him alone.

Although I haven't seen Xiu Yi's official shot yet. But the spinning hurricane. That erratic way of moving. Make Buckle aware. This is definitely a samurai who takes the light and agile route. Coupled with the use of weird and unpredictable * magic and powerful monsters. Buckler was not sure of defeating his opponent.

Buckler didn't think that the other party would be able to pose a threat to his life. A sea warrior is not so easy to deal with after all. But he had to worry about Ashlin and Huoding who were on the sidelines.

With Xiu Yi's current strength displayed. The result is likely to kill Xiu Yi himself. But Ashlin and Houlding were doomed.

And in fact. To kill a samurai who takes the light and agile route. It's not easy. What's more, the other party is still an alchemist. This means that he also has the ability to persist in combat. And that's just the surface. Who knows what hole cards he has yet to show.

So Buckler immediately called to stop.

He has lost his interest in looting.

The strength of the young man in front of him chilled him.

With Buckler yelling to stop. Biaowu's hurricane swirled around Buckle.

The long sword in Xiu Yi's hand did not stab out. The voice from the wind floated melodiously: Boss Buckler, doing business with you. It's really worrying.

There was no shame on Buckler's face: Then you can rest assured now. I. Brian Buckler. The boss of the Wild Wolf Group. I solemnly tell you in the name of the leader. You are now qualified to sit here. Talk to us about the next business. I mean. If you still have anything to ask of us.

The wind stopped.

The Wind Spirit gradually dissipated into the air. Xiu Yi's figure was finally revealed.

There was a smile on his face.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Tension in the room. Gradually the tension returned.

Although neither side really attacked each other. But Huey was sure. The actions I just took just slowed down by half a beat. I'm afraid that Buckler's attack has already hit like a storm.

He must be thankful that he was fully prepared for battle before. Otherwise, once a seventh-level marine warrior is given the opportunity to freely display his strength. He doubted whether he could withstand his few attacks.

Even if it is a fourth-level space * spell conservation enchantment. It may not be able to block the continuous chopping of a sea warrior.

Buckler didn't know that his conservation enchantment was actually limited in power.

have to say. Doing business with a gang of desperadoes is indeed a very dangerous thing. There are always people who hope to get high returns through high risks. But the result is that people are more likely to take high risks. But see no return at all.

In the past, there was no shortage of unscrupulous businessmen who came to Black Locust Town and said Let's cooperate to Buckle. Buckler's most immediate reaction was to order someone to strip him of everything. Then throw the merchant out of town. and tell each other. Save his life. That's the whole reward of the money.

Rabbits and lions are not eligible for equal trading.

but now. Huey was sure she had changed the other person's mind*.

Such are the robbers. They're all born bitches. There is only one rule they believe in: they can't beat it. Just cooperate.

If there is no chance of cooperation. Then there is only running away.

So now. I am qualified to ask for an equal dialogue. He asked with a smile.

Buckler, Houding and Ashlin looked at each other. Then Buckler nodded to Houding. Huo Ding understood that this meant giving him full power to make decisions.

So Huo Ding looked at Xiu Yi: Tell me. What kind of cooperation do you want.

First of all. I need some of your experience with the government. You already know that...

In addition. I need your information channels. Don't tell me you don't have any. I know that you have connections with some forces outside. Every time the imperial army tries to encircle you, people outside will send you news to allow you to respond in time. And you provide them with cheap and high-quality spoils. I need you to help me find out who are the people who are currently chasing me. Their specific situation. Who are they. I mean, the more detailed the situation, the better.

Why do you need to know this. To this condition. Houding, Buckler and others were a little confused.

Xiu Yi smiled slightly: It's different from you. For me, this is a war. As long as they don't give up hunting me for a day, I won't stop fighting back. So I have to do my best to understand my enemy. Only then can I destroy them.

these words. Buckler and the others were dumbfounded: Oh my God. You are such a lunatic.

Xiu Yi spread her hands: Everyone here, who has never been called a lunatic. The reason why we have come to this point. Isn't it because of our madness. And I will continue to be crazy as always.

Buckler nodded lightly: You're right, Hugh Igleser. But that doesn't mean you can run amok here.

Quite the opposite. What I'm after here is a space of tranquility.

A peaceful space.

Yes. A small proviso. Nothing too important.

Say it.

It's actually very simple. You also know that there is no alchemist in this world who doesn't need a laboratory. So I also need a better laboratory for my alchemy experiments.

We can provide you with such a place. Buckler said.

What I need is an absolute privacy. A safe laboratory. No disturbance from others.

The most indispensable thing in the Villas Mountains is the hidden valley.

At the same time, there must be a water source. There must be a field. Because I also plan to grow some vegetables. Melons and fruits. It will be more convenient for me to be self-sufficient.

Alchemists have so many quirks.

The most important thing is that you must not be disturbed by anyone. You must promise me that without my permission, no one is allowed to enter my territory. This includes yourselves. Of course. In return, I will provide you with some of my alchemy products every year. What do you think?

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Hugh Igles glanced at the broken bone staff in front of Igor Ashlin.

He said casually: I think you need a better gun.

Eagle Ashlin was moved.

Huey turned to Buckle again: Perhaps you would like to add some more excellent magic weapons to your weapons.

Buckler's nerves twisted for a moment.

Huey finally turned to Houlding. He made no further conditions. He just gave the other party a sweet smile: Maybe we will get along very well.

Yes. Huo Ding smiled.

Buckler finally made a decision.

He nodded and said: Okay, Hugh Igleser. You are indeed a person who knows how to negotiate. You are also very generous. I agree with your conditions. Houding. Tell him about the place.

Huo Ding said: In the deepest part of the mountain. There is an area surrounded by holly forests. It is very secret and safe. There is an open space there. There is also a waterfall. Only four people know that place. We used to plan to use it as our last hiding place.

Xiu Yi's face was filled with a smile when the trick was successful: It seems that you are going to find another final shelter.
