Almighty Alchemist

After walking out of Brian Buckler's house. Xiuyi first walked around the town of Locust Locust a few times. To get familiar with the environment here.

The gangsters in the town looked less ferocious after seeing Hugh Igleser.

no matter who. Can easily kill Inigo. He came out of Boss Buckler's room again. It just means that he has absolute strength. And has been approved by the boss.

No one will seek death beyond their means.

Although he still maintains a mocking attitude towards the gentlemanly behavior of Lei Lei and others. But they will no longer take the initiative to step forward to provoke. Just use cold ignorance to draw a clear line with the other party.

As Huey expected. Lei Lei and the others felt that they were not belonging to this town.

Go to a remote and uninhabited corner. See that there are no people around. Huey pulled a strange little thing out of the ring. It looks like an eye. Attached to a small metal post. Shuttle around.

Insert that eye into the soft dirt nearby. Xiu Yi recited the spell. Eyes disappear.

Grab your crystal ball. All the images in this area have been reflected in the crystal ball.

This is the peeping eye most commonly used by alchemists.

Huey didn't know if Buckler could be trusted. Perhaps many of the bandits in Black Locust Town are loyal people. But there is also no shortage of villains who do not believe what they say. Willingly entrust the safety of one's life on others. It's stupid. Xiu Yi naturally would not make such a mistake.

The biggest advantage of using the peeping eye is that it can carry out all-weather fixed-point peeping. There is no need to consume mana like the wind warbler. You don't need to pay attention all the time.

Go to some hidden places. After inserting more than ten peeping eyes one after another. The sights around Black Locust Town, especially at the entrance of the town, have been fully seen.

Do it all. Xiu Yi was finally relieved.

He decided to have a drink in a nearby tavern first.

Old Bill's Fighter's Tavern was full. Some drinkers who couldn't find a place were cursing around the bar. Noisy voices filled the entire tavern. Until Xiu Yi's entry.

The tavern suddenly calmed down.

It's like a haven after a storm. The silence was as dead.

"Bring me a glass of ale." Huey put a King Witt on the table.

The waiter glanced at Xiu Yi with fearful eyes. Hastily put a glass of ale in front of Xiu Yi.

"Thank you," Huey said.

The tin goblet was foaming white. A strong aroma overflowed from it. Huey tasted a little bit. The taste is much bitterer than the one I drank in Fragrant Leaf City.

"Bitch's drink." A discordant voice came from the tavern.

Follow the sound backwards. Huey saw a tall woman sitting at a wine table.

The woman has short blond hair and tanned skin. Her lips were painted a deep purple. Extremely sexy and flirtatious. He was wearing a leather suit. Wrap her plump body tightly. Show off the beautiful buttocks curve.

An emerald green longbow is pinned around her waist. Behind is a quiver. There are also several throwing knives pinned to the lower abdomen.

It is worth noting that. Women's ears are slightly pointed and elongated. There is a deep green in the eyes.

Half elf. A hybrid of human and elf. This is Xiu Yi's first impression.

He then noticed that the woman was sitting alone at the wine table. in this crowded environment. Able to monopolize a table by one person. Usually there is always some status and relative strength.

When a woman speaks. All the bandits looked like they were just sitting back and watching the show.

Honestly. After achieving your goal. Xiu Yi no longer wants to do anything. In his opinion. Force is merely a supplementary means to an end. It's not a leisure show for people after dinner. He has no interest in much ado about nothing. Fight with the National People's Congress at every turn. So for the evaluation of women. He didn't make any answer.

But it seems that trouble always likes to find him.

The woman left her place and came towards him. Stand not far from him.

"Buckler shouldn't have made a deal with you," she said. "You're a nuisance. You'll be trouble for everyone in Locust Town."

"There's never a shortage of trouble in Locust Town."

"But this time it's different. You've brought more than trouble. Maybe disaster."

A woman's eyes are sharp. She stared at Xiu Yi: "Maybe I should take you down and hand it over to the local police department. In exchange for better cooperation opportunities."

talking. She raised the longbow slowly with her left hand. At the same time, his right hand touched the arrow box behind him.

This action made Xiu Yi vigilant. He said coldly: "This is a very dangerous idea*. I advise you to take no further action. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that there will be any dire consequences here."

All the robbers in the tavern tensed up. They all stood up and backed away.

The woman quickly drew a long arrow. Ready to put the long arrow on the bowstring.

Xiu Yi's body was arched like a leopard. He has made up his mind. As long as the woman hits the arrow. He will immediately shoot and kill the opponent.

"Lilith. Stop. Don't shoot."

Buckler's roar came from the door of the tavern.

Eagle Ashlin also appeared at the door of the tavern at the same time: "O evil master of the undead. Use your powerful will to control. Control the creatures I designate. Undead bondage."

A group of white energy rays pointed at the woman holding the bow. Surround the woman.

The woman was furious: "Igor. You actually shot at me."

She was about to break free from the undead shackles of the necromancer. Xiu Yi in front of her suddenly moved. A light golden magic sword is already on her neck.

"Don't move. Otherwise, your head will be cut off." The boy's voice was cold and decisive.

"No." Buckler and Ashlin shouted at the same time.

Buckler strode over: "I'm sorry. Hugh Igleser. But I can assure you. Lilith didn't know what was going on. She just came back. Inigo was under his protection. You killed him. That's why she was very angry."

The woman named Lilith yelled: "Shut up, Buckler. I'm not for that bastard Inigo. You don't know who Hugh Igleser is. Do you think he is an ordinary criminal?"

Buckler looked back at his companions: "Lilith. Those who can stand beside you and me. None of them are ordinary criminals. But we all live well. He is a wanted criminal across the country. So are we."

"That's different. This Hugh Igles is different from all of us. You don't have to believe it. But I just came back from the outside. I can tell you very clearly. In the eyes of the empire, this Hugh Igles is much more important than any of us. This is what our people in the city told me. He made a leak bigger than the sky. His arrival is likely to attract a large number of warriors from the Lance Empire."

Buckler moved Huey's long sword away from Lilith's neck. Then patted Lilith on the shoulder. Dou Qi is released. Remove Ashlyn's undead bondage. Hold her down and say: "Yes. Killing Ablit is indeed a big mistake. But so what. The Lance Empire tried to destroy us more than once. But they have never succeeded. The Bilias Mountains are big enough. Our strength is also strong enough. We are not afraid of them. Hugh Igles is an alchemist. He brought us the top-level potion we dreamed of. It can save our lives in battle."

"You should take everything from him. Then throw him out of Locust Town." Lilith shouted angrily.

"I tried. But unfortunately I couldn't. It wasn't luck that he was able to kill Ablit. Lilith. Be sober. If Igor doesn't shoot you. Maybe you're already dead."

"You fought him before." Lilith was shocked.

Buckler gently hugged Lilith close to her ear and said, "You must be thankful. Really. My hunch tells me that this young man's strength is stronger than what he has shown."

"But the information I got told me that this boy is more important in the eyes of the Lance Empire than all the people here. Maybe it won't be long. We will usher in an unprecedented siege. He is a lunatic. Only a lunatic would do such a thing in the Lanya Grand Theater." Lilith replied coldly.

She gave Xiu Yi a hard look. Stride away from the tavern.

Looking at the shadow of her departure. Huey thought for a while and said, "What if she's right, Buckler. What would you do."

Buckle smiled: "For profit. We dare to fight against the laws of the empire; for freedom. We are not hesitant to become exiled criminals. Xiu Yilaier. No matter what you bring us. The threat of death cannot be a reason for us to give up trading with you. Don't forget that we are criminals. We are born to risk our lives on the edge of the knife. When we make choices for profit, we are already pushing ourselves to the point of desperation. It is very likely that we will attract ourselves by robbing a caravan that should not be robbed Annihilation. But will we give up our every action because of this possibility. No. No. And you, Hugh Iglell. Just one of the options. No matter what you bring. For us. It’s the same as an ordinary robbery. There will be no difference.”

"Well said." Xiu Yiglaer nodded. He found at least one distinct advantage in Buckler: He knew what he was doing. And be prepared to give anything for it.

This is the same clear-headed man.

"You'd better get out of here now. We'll take care of your people," Buckler said.

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

Stranglethorn Vale is located south of Locust Town. Inside the Alps. in its northwest direction. It is the Forest of Silence, the paradise of Warcraft.

Silent Forest. It is one of the few remaining primitive forests in Fengming Continent. There are about 3,000 species of creatures inhabiting it. Among them, there are more than a thousand kinds of Warcraft. However, with the endless exploitation of resources by human beings. This peaceful jungle has also been greatly damaged.

now. The area of ​​the Forest of Silence has been reduced by a quarter. More than a thousand kinds of monsters. There are about 700 species left. Three hundred species have been completely extinct. A large number of magic vegetation felled. dig. severely damaged. As a result, human habitats have greatly increased.

There are more than 30 human settlements in this area. Except for a few bandit mixed areas like Locust Town. There are also some tribal areas. Lives a large number of humanoid life.

The endless expansion of humanity. It's not just jungle creatures that are at risk. Also includes other races. Regardless of race. For humans. Both were deported and enslaved.

So any life that survives here. There is a natural hostility towards human beings.

Buckler had promised him. Just such a place.

The Alps are alive and well today. Large areas of holly trees light up the mountain shade with their greenery in the snow-white season. Although the trees are obviously slightly sparser from tree to tree. But the dense canopy. But piece by piece connected together.

On the exposed rocky slopes facing the sun. Low bushes can be seen everywhere. Clusters of low-hanging small trees can always be seen beside the abrupt and rugged cliffs. It is dotted with light yellow scattered small flowers like stars. It adds a few wisps of charming temperament to this mountain range.

Get out of the rough and rugged mountain trails. Xiu Yi saw the cool spring flowing in the mountains. With melted snow. And a clear water pool was formed on the mountainside not far away.

The weather has warmed up. Spring is coming. Some flowers have already begun to bloom their beauty early.

Red dragon grass. Green lotus. Pink girl heart. Blue ocean flowers. There are also some fish swimming in the bottom of the water. Turn this place into a peaceful and beautiful world.

Unfortunately. These are not valuable magic plants.

Go up the mountain spring. Xiu Yi came to a cliff. A small waterfall flows down the cliff. fell on the rocks. Countless crystal water droplets were smashed out.

"This is the place you need." Ashlin's voice sounded behind him.

"Yes." Xiu Yi agreed: "It's very secret here. It's also very quiet. It really meets my needs."

This area is surrounded by large holly forests outside. Large expanses of needle-like leaves form the natural defense circle of the area. Unless someone came looking for it on purpose. Otherwise, few people will find here.

Not far from the cliff. It is a flat open space. Just right for Huey to use as his laboratory.

Huey walked over and looked around. He frowned slightly.

Ashlin captured this expression very sensitively: "Is there any problem?"

"No. No." Huey replied quickly.

He thought about it. Then said: "Master Ashlin."

"Call me Igor. And I'm not a master. I'm level 4 in Undead Art."

"Okay. Eagle. I have a question for you."

"you say."

"How much do you know about alchemy?"

Eagle Ashlin was slightly taken aback. He smiled wryly: "Actually, my knowledge is limited. The reason why I learned alchemy is because I am an undead mage. Some alchemy requires alchemy. On the other hand, it was commissioned by Buckler. Locust Town needs an alchemist. Only then can we be self-sufficient. Unfortunately, we couldn't find an alchemist who was interested in fighting against the empire. Until you appeared. The reason why we will give this place to you is also because Buckler hopes that I can learn something useful from you. You can make top-level potions .Maybe you can point me to many places I haven't* figured out yet."

Huey thought about it. Then he nodded and said, "I can give you some knowledge about alchemy. But you also have to promise me that you will not pass on this knowledge."

"I swear in the name of the Lord of the Undead." Ashlin replied seriously.

"Then I have one more question to ask."

"Please say."

"Do you usually come here often?"

Ashlin froze for a moment. Then he shook his head and said, "No. There's no need for that. In fact, including discovering here once. We've only been here twice."

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

Watching Ashlin leave. Hugh Igles first released the Wind Warbler to patrol around. Then he used mental exploration to make sure there were no magical peeps around. Then came to the flat ground in a hurry.

The land is very flat. It looks like it has been artificially trimmed.

But Huey learned from Ashlyn. This place was accidentally discovered by the girl named Lilith three years ago. that time. This open space has always existed.

Either Buckler or Ashlin. They all overlooked one problem. That's why there's such an open space in the Holly Grove.

Jungle development. Never let go of any soil suitable for your own growth. Seeds fly with the wind. Where does it fall. where it grows.

But in this wooded area surrounded by hollies. There will be such a large blank area. Not even a weed grows. It's a little weird.

"It seems that some kind of force restricts the growth of plants here." Xiuyi murmured.

Pick up a handful of dirt. Huey sniffed carefully.

Very fresh soil. Contains a lot of water.

Remove a test tube from the ring. Huey tried to analyze the composition of the soil.

But the result is that the soil quality here is excellent. Suitable for the growth of most magic plants.

"There is nothing wrong with the soil. So what caused the barrenness of this land." Xiuyi was a little strange.

The development of things is never isolated. Everything that has an effect must have a cause. Tracing back to the source. This is the way of thinking and thinking habits that an excellent alchemist must possess.

Ashlin's attainment in alchemy is too low. The strong utilitarianism made him only focus on the refining of potions. So he wasn't aware of the weirdness of the area at all. Not even interested in exploring the unknown. But Xiu Yi just came to this land. I felt the weirdness in it.

That's why he wondered how high Ashlin's alchemy attainment was. I believe that if it was Hines or Pierre who discovered this place in the first place. I will definitely try my best to break through the mystery. Only a half-alchemy level like Ashlin would turn a blind eye to such a situation.

Think for a while. Xiu Yi began to gather magic power. Sensing elemental changes in the air.

The surrounding element changes are not strong. This means that there are also no obvious fluctuations in magic power around here.

Nothing to do with soil. It has nothing to do with magic*. What does that have to do with it.

Xiu Yi became more and more confused.

He wandered in this empty field. When I was thinking hard about what would make it so that there would be no grass growing here. It seemed to smell something vaguely.

He is strange. Xu in his arms suddenly barked loudly.

"Xu. Is something wrong?"

I saw Xu jumped out of Xiu Yi's embrace. His hair stood on end. A low growl came from his throat.

Its eyes were fixed on the center of the clearing.

The Blazing Bird also flew towards the sky at the same time. There was a shrill cry.

"Damn it." Xiu Yi finally understood what was going on.

This is a restricted area.

It is a resting place for advanced monsters.

The stench that I smelled just now. It was the mark made by the Warcraft on its own territory.

For the vast majority of high-level monsters. They usually only prevent the entry of life that may threaten them. But this one here. It seems that the temperament is not that great. It doesn't even allow plants to grow in its territory.

next moment. Following Xu and Blazing Bird's preparations for battle. Xiu Yi also quickly summoned the Wind Spirit.

at the same time. The earth suddenly violently turbulent. The originally flat ground is becoming undulating like a rough sea at this moment. Weird ripples like ripples in a pond. Stretched in all directions.

In the middle of an open field. A deep and large hole appeared.

"Hiss." A sharp hiss came from the cave. It's almost like tearing people's eardrums.
