Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 73 Return (2nd update today)

Xiu Yi's figure suddenly appeared in front of the teleportation circle in the Land of Divine Favor.

Harry screamed: "Hey, you finally came out, I almost thought you were going to be trapped to death in that place."

Xiu Yi walked over with Xu in her arms: "I hope you didn't wait too anxiously, the place is huge, and it took me a long time to find what I was looking for."

Only then did he tell the events recorded in the temple one by one.

When it was said that Bathgate led the Death Army to bloodbath the Western Continent, Harry Carmela and others looked at each other in dismay. This was the first time they had heard of the threat from the Demon World.

"Bathgate did not die. When the temple united all the mages to launch the final forbidden spell, he tried to use his personal power to open the space channel and return to the abyss to avoid the disaster. But the temple stopped his behavior in time, but failed to stop it completely. Bathgate was trapped in the gap between the two planes, avoided the final cleansing, but he couldn't advance or retreat. But according to the last words, sooner or later, Bathgate will rush out of the predicament, which will be a catastrophe for the entire human race."

Xiu Yi didn't say anything about the inheritance, but just explained everything in his last words.

"You mean that Bathgate's power is beyond the Sanctuary?"

"I don't know. Those who have seen his power have all died." Xiu Yi replied, "Maybe we will know when he reappears."

"Then I would rather never know the answer." Harry murmured, "I don't want to encounter such a terrifying existence in my lifetime."

"Forget it, don't talk about it anymore, it makes me creepy. Now that the mentor is back, maybe it's time to break up." Udyk said, "I will be with the mentor, so what about you, Harry?"

Harry Gunns and Carmela looked at each other, feeling at a loss in their hearts at the same time.

The exploration of the Western Continent has ended, and Harry Gunns' Warcraft team suffered heavy losses, and now it is impossible to bring another golden rhino back. So what should they do now?

Carmela looked up at Xiu Yi.

"Hugh Igleser, I heard that the predecessor of the Black Warrior was Crispin Boland, the Sky Warrior?"

Huey nodded.

"Didn't his legs be chopped off?"

"Another arm," Huey replied.

"Can you grow back the lost limbs?" Carmela's eyes showed great hope.

"That's a price to pay."

"What kind of price."

"As you can see, becoming a black warrior made him lose a lot, including human emotions, language ability, etc. Except for the fighting instinct and absolute obedience to me, almost nothing else exists, just like a puppet."

"I don't intend to be like him, and I don't need him to be as strong, but I need an arm. And my face, I know I don't look good, but that doesn't mean I can accept the way I am now." Carmela caressed the terrible scars on her face: "I need your help, Hugh Igleser."

After pondering for a while, Xiuyi shook his head: "We are friends, Carmela, and I am indeed willing to help you. But I am not an unprincipled, sympathetic, generous enough to sacrifice myself to help others. I can help you if conditions permit and without sacrificing enough of my own interests. But even helping you grow an arm again is not an easy task. To make the Black Warrior, I spent enough wealth to buy a city. So even if it is only a tenth of the price of an arm , you can't afford it. I'm sorry..."

"I can follow you, just like the black warrior. As much as you put in, you will get as much reward!" Carmela said firmly.

"Carmela!" Harry yelled.

"Sorry, Harry, I don't have a choice. Or Xiu Yiglaer itself is a good choice."

"This..." Xiu Yi hesitated.

Carmela immediately said: "I know you have some capable men, they are very strong, even Haley the Lion King and the Sixth Heavenly King are your men. But you cannot deny that they are not easy to discipline. Almost all of your men are hooligans, hooligans, and villains. The reason why they are willing to listen to you is because you are stronger than them and you have saved them. But you also cannot deny that relying on deterrence alone is not enough to convince your men. Unnecessary trouble. You need some power you can trust, some power that can work for you without financial incentives or force deterrence. Maybe not strong enough, but at least... no longer a simple gang of rogues."

Xiu Yi looked at Carmela with sarcasm: "Do you think you can be the existence that checks and balances them? The leader of another force in my team? The existence that balances other forces?"

Carmela straightened her neck: "I know you can give me strength, and you should know better than me what kind of woman I am. We Warcraft Hunters have clear grievances and grievances."

Xiuyi nodded: "That's right, even if you are still a weak person now, I have enough ways to make you strong. Then...well, I can consider giving it a try and let you join my team. But from the moment you join, Carmela, you are no longer my friend. You are my subordinate, and you will only obey my orders unconditionally. And I will never treat you like before. I need you to repay with life and freedom for what I have paid for you."

"That's the inevitable result." Carmela replied.

"Then... welcome to join the Spirit of Vengeance, Carmela." Xiuyi finally sent a formal invitation to Carmela.

Carmela joined Huey's vengeful spirit, and Udyk was Huey's disciple, so naturally he could only follow him. The three people present, except Harry, all became Xiu Yi's subordinates, which was a little unexpected, but not surprising.

Accepting Carmela, Huey looked at Harry.

"Harry, what about you? Do you plan to continue to be a monster hunter alone in the future? Or come with me?"

Harry pondered for a moment, and then said to Huey: "I'm sorry, although you saved my life, I belong to this land. I still hope to live freely. Hugh Igles, I cherish meeting you, but it is precisely because of this that I want to keep this friendship even more."

"I can understand."

Harry bowed to Huey: "You can rest assured that I will not reveal a word about everything here, in the name of my personality and great mother."

Harry knew what he should do and what he shouldn't do, so after a solemn gesture, he turned and left.

"Hey, Harry." Huey called Harry suddenly.

"Anything else?" Harry asked without looking back.

"This is for you. I will sell some of it to compensate the Dallymore family, some of it for my own use, and some... for the deceased's family." Xiu Yi threw a small bag, which contained some alchemy-made potions and props, many of which were powerful and expensive alchemy props.

"Thank you." The man was not hypocritical, he took the things and left.

Looking at his back, Xiu Yi sighed.

Huey knew exactly what he was thinking.

As a Warcraft hunter, what they advocate is freedom. For freedom and a better life, they can go deep into the terrible jungle to fight against monsters. Death is their destiny for them, the difference is when they die. Did he die on his first hunt, or on his hundredth hunt?

The only difference between these two is how long they are able to enjoy during their lifetime.

"I hope he has good luck, then let's go."

"Father." Xu called out suddenly.

"What else is there?"

"I want... to leave you for a while." Xu bowed his head and said.

"What did you say?" Xiu Yi was taken aback.

Xu said seriously: "Father, I have thought about it. I should learn to face difficulties by myself. Only in this way can I grow and have real courage. We dragons have to experience the test of survival at a very young age. Only after going through the cruelest process of survival of the fittest in nature can we develop real strength. With you, Father, I lack the opportunity to experience wind and rain. I don’t think that’s why my mother entrusted me to you. This world is not an abyss, and the living environment here is much better than the abyss. If you can’t face some small difficulties, how can you have the courage to challenge the Lord of the Abyss in the future?”

"You want to leave me and face the challenge alone?"

"Yes, father, didn't you say that the children under the wing of the father are children who will never grow up?"

Huey was silent.

He knew that Xu was right. In the abyss world, every life has to face all kinds of powerful existences from birth, survive in a terrible environment, and compete for limited resources. That may have made them rare in number, but it also made them immensely powerful. But here, Xu lacks such an environment to hone him.

He needed more rigorous training, which Huey hadn't given him.

He treats Xu like his own child, who is willing to let his child face risks?

But just let Xu leave alone...

"Don't worry, father, I'll be fine. I'm going to live in the Land of God's Grace for a while. I will defeat every existence that dares to despise the majesty of my dragon family, no matter how many levels of monsters it is, and let them surrender under my feet."

"You really have to grow up." Xiuyi laughed.

"So father, do you agree to my request?"

"Of course, the child needs to be independent, how can a father stop it? Go to Xu, do what you want to do. One day, you will open the world's eyes." Xiuyi said, stuffing the communication crystal into Xu's arms: "Take it, tell me when you need me, and I will come to you as soon as possible."

"I will always be with you, Xu."

———————————

Xu's departure made Xiu Yi somewhat sad.

After going through these many days together, suddenly my child has to go out alone, and any father will be a little sad.

Perhaps seeing the sadness in Xiu Yi's heart, both Udyk and Carmela remained silent at the same time.

After a long time, Xiu Yi let out a long breath and said, "I'm much better."

People who can do great things can always control their emotions well.

Next, Xiu Yi quickly figured out the next plan.

The cultivation plan of the Land of Divine Grace should be over here. To become a high-level warrior, I still have a long way to go, and there is no hope in a short time. The first thing to do next is to deal with the threats from the Arcane Tower and the Church of the Holy Spirit.

If it was before, Xiu Yi might use the same method as he did against the Lance Empire in the face of this threat, and use various means to eliminate all threats invisibly. But this time, he changed his mind.

"Udyk, Carmela, I have something to do first, and I can't take you. But I will arrange for the black warrior to escort you, and you should be able to get out of the jungle soon. Find a place to settle down when you arrive in Winnington. Take this, and I will naturally find you."

Putting a scout bee into Udic's hand, Xiuyi spread his wings, flew straight into the sky, and flew in the direction of Winnington.

In the evening, Huey finally arrived at Winnington.

Putting his wings away, he landed on a street.

Not in a hurry to return to the Castle of the Hidden Mist, Xiuyi first walked around the nearby streets.

Not far from here is the hotel where the Violet Song and Dance Troupe collapsed.

Xiu Yi walked towards the hotel.

The hotel lights were still on.

Girls can even be heard laughing outside the store.

Judging from the carriages outside and the downgraded hotels, the lives of the girls have taken a huge turn for the better.

Huey lightly jumped into the hotel and walked along the wall to the window of a room.

A girl was reading a book in the room, but Xiu Yi didn't know her, she seemed to be a new girl from the song and dance troupe.

After taking a look, Xiu Yi left in a hurry.

The hotel is not very big, and after walking through several places, Xiuyi came to a secluded small yard.

Tulips and jasmine flowers are in full bloom in the yard, exuding a charming aroma.

Xiu Yi walked carefully through the flowers and came to the corner of the wall.

Through the crack of the window, he could see Daisy sewing in the back room, and it looked like she was embroidering a handkerchief.

Randy ran over from another room and put her arms around Daisy's waist from behind: "My dear, come talk to me, I'm almost bored to death."

Daisy patted Lanti lightly: "Don't make trouble, I'm working."

Randy's hand touched Daisy's slender waist: "Your waist is so soft, sometimes I really wish I was a man, and then enjoy your tenderness to the fullest."

Daisy's pretty face was flushed, and she pushed Lanti's unruly little hand away: "Shut up, you little coquettish fox."

Randy giggled and ran away.

She looked really bored, she grabbed a womb bear beside the bed and muttered: "Oh, Xiuyi, Xiuyi, Daisy won't accompany me, so you can only come to accompany me."

She carefully dressed the wombat, put it under the quilt, and put it on the pillow. She lay on one side, supported the jade neck with one arm, and looked at the little bear obsessively, with infinite nostalgia in her eyes.

This scene fell into Xiu Yi's eyes, and he was stunned for a moment.

It seemed that whether it was Daisy or Randy, they had never forgotten themselves.

I don't know what happened to Clarice?

As soon as I thought of Clarice, Clarice's voice came from outside the courtyard:

"I'm exhausted from walking all day. Did anything happen while I was away, Jer? Did the girls get me in trouble?"

Before the people arrived, the voice came first. It seemed that Clarice was still as anxious as ever, Xiuyi smiled.

He quickly hid in a corner of the courtyard, just as he saw Clarice rushing into the other courtyard, followed by a young man who seemed to be her follower.

Clarice was wearing a luxurious lady's dress, the wide skirt was dragged all the way to the ground, she was holding a small fan in her hand, and a pair of beautiful pearl earrings were hanging on her ears, she looked very charming.

A young man followed Clarice into the yard: "Ilzer sent an invitation letter, hoping that we can go to his country house to perform to celebrate his daughter's wedding, and he is willing to pay 240 gold verts for a performance."

"Help me return it, and tell them that the price is not appropriate." Clarice went to the stone bench in the yard and sat down.

I still remember that when the song and dance troupe performed in a small roadside village, they could only get about ten Golden Witts for a performance. For the song and dance troupe, this was already a good price. But now, two hundred and forty gold Witt performances are already an inappropriate price in Clarice's view.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "Leader, you have declined several invitations."

Clarice turned around: "So what? Jill, we are about to participate in a performance at the Royal Coliseum. You must know that on His Majesty's birthday, His Majesty the Emperor will likely come to the Royal Coliseum to watch the performance in person. You know what that means, right? Performing in front of the Emperor is more valuable than any performance. We must cherish this opportunity! All performances before this, unless there is enough price, otherwise we can't distract us. I don't want to mess up the most important performance for some worthless performances! There's a question of money, and a question of prestige."

"You are right, Sir, but there are invitations from some nobles that we cannot refuse at will."

"Jel, I know what kind of people those nobles are. They are not interested in performances, they are interested in my girls. My song and dance troupe only wants to perform in a formal theater, and will not go to a villa of those nobles for private performances. Those big people want to see us climb on their beds naked, not art!"

"You are right, Master Leader. If this is the case, you can accept an invitation with confidence."

"Whose?" Clarice asked.

Jieer took out a bronzing invitation: "The Association of Magicians sent an invitation, I hope you can bring a few girls to the Arcane Tower for a performance."

"The Association of Magicians? Those old men who only know how to study magic want to watch our song and dance performance?" Clarice yelled strangely: "Are you kidding? Jill."

"No, they sent the invitation very seriously." Jieer replied: "Magicians are human beings, and they need to enjoy life."

"Well, is that so?" Clarice raised her chin, apparently considering whether it was necessary to accept the invitation.

"I suggest that you consider accepting it. After all, magicians are the most honorable people in the empire. If they like you, even if you reject the invitation of other nobles, they will not dare to do anything to you. No one dares to offend the magician."

"So if I refuse, I'm offending them?" Clarice squinted at Jere.

Jere replied with a smile: "I don't think you will refuse."

"No." Unexpectedly, Clarice said firmly: "I refuse. I don't want to have anything to do with the Arcane Tower. I don't know what they want from me, but I've never heard of an invitation from the Wizards Association to a song and dance troupe. It's too ridiculous. I don't believe in gold falling from the sky, and I don't expect to get something that doesn't belong to me. Maybe I'm greedy for money, but I only want my share. Turn it down, no matter how much they offer, we won't go."

Jere stared at Clarice dumbfounded, until the latter yelled: "Go to work soon."

"It's... the leader." Jieer ran away helplessly.

He thought it was a simple matter, but he didn't expect to encounter such a flat rejection from Clarice. He didn't even know how to reply to those big shots.

Watching Jere disappear from her sight, Clarice sighed softly.

She bent her right arm and rested her head on her fist, as if she was thinking about something, completely oblivious to the approach of someone behind her.

A hand was placed on her shoulder, and a gentle voice came: "It seems that you are much more cautious than I thought."

This familiar voice made Clarice's body tremble like an electric shock.

She hurriedly turned her head, only to see Xiu Yi standing behind her with a smile.

"Hui..." Clarice was about to say something.

Xiu Yi raised her finger to her lips: "Hush!"

He pointed to the back room and reminded Clarice that Daisy and Randy were still there.

Clarice suddenly realized, she hurriedly pulled Xiu Yi to a corner of the yard, and said softly and hastily, "Why did you come here?"

"Come here to see you. When you came, I was cultivating elsewhere, and I didn't have time to come back. As soon as the practice is over, I will come."

Clarice looked at Xiu Yi tenderly, and stroked his face: "It's good to see you again, Xiu Yi, you have grown taller."

Huey smiled and kissed Clarice's hand lightly.

Clarice lay lightly in Xiuyi's arms: "Dessy and Randy miss you so much, why don't you see them?"

"They are still young and have their own lives. They shouldn't be delayed because of me. I can't promise them anything."

Clarice paused for a moment, then nodded: "You're right, that's fine too. If that's the case, why do you want to see me? Can you promise me anything?"

"No, it's just that there are some dangers that need to be reminded of you, but it seems that you have already noticed it."

"Are you talking about that bastard Jer?" Clarice sneered: "He is from the Legal Affairs Bureau. I already know it. Someone reminded me. They said he was your friend."

"Yes, it's a rare thing that you didn't throw him out."

"Why do you want to drive us out?" Clarice asked back: "Since the empire suspects us, if we drive him away, it will only make them more suspicious, and then send someone else over? How about staying here? It can reassure the empire and prove that we have nothing to do with you. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to have free labor? I used him like a cow and a horse, always found fault with him, and then deducted a lot of his wages, but I never have to worry that he will resign in anger."

"..." Xiu Yi was speechless. He didn't expect Clarice to do this.

"You're really good!" Xiu Yi said this from the bottom of her heart. If it was him, he would definitely have come up with such a creative approach. She actually used the undercover agent assigned to her as a slave...

Clarice grinned: "I learned it all from you, you taught me a lot."

"It doesn't include crushing subordinates."

"I draw inferences from one instance."

"A genius indeed."

"How to reward me?"

Xiu Yi held her pretty face, and pressed a passionate kiss on it.

"You can't just satisfy me like that." Clarice said "viciously", she grabbed Huey's hand, and she seemed to not want him to go away.

In fact, she said it directly: "Don't go tonight, okay? I want to hear about your life these days."

"...I'm sorry Clarice, I'm afraid I can't agree to this request. I have been away from my partners for a while, and I must go back to see them quickly. And I am here... because I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"The Wizards Association is after me, and they want to use you as bait."

"I guessed it, but I just don't understand why it is the Arcane Tower?"

Only then did Xiu Yi briefly talk about the magic pattern.

"They know the relationship between me and you, and know that you are the people I care about, so they hope to use you to lure me out, kill me, and then push all this to the Assassin League. So no matter whether you agree to the invitation of the Mage Association, you will eventually be invited to their place as a guest. Of course, the reason why the Mage Association chose to openly invite you is obviously hoping that I can get the news and then go to die."

"If that's the case, even if I reject the invitation from the Association of Magicians, they probably won't let go." Clarice tensed up, and things turned to the worst direction as she had guessed.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about this issue for you. You can let him know through Jayer... On the emperor's birthday, I will go to the Royal Theater to watch your performance."

Clarice was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Oh my God, Xiuyi, do you want to do the same thing as in Fragrant Leaf City again? No, I can't promise you, Xiuyi, you can't do that, this is Winnington, not Fragrant Leaf City, you can't come and go freely!"

"If I want, I can." Xiu Yi chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, the drama this time...is different from last time."
