Almighty Alchemist

On Purgatory Island, the new black-robed mage Erdoris of the space system is carefully observing the teleportation circle.

His fingers lightly rubbed the scale on the magic circle, and he exclaimed from time to time.

"Perfect, simply perfect."

Chakle couldn't help asking: "Master Erdoris, have you seen anything?"

"Yes, I can see it. This little guy has been researching and making a magic circle that can be used for one-way teleportation from the very beginning. Mr. Raschel is right, these scales are used for positioning. Although there is no corresponding teleportation array as his docking port, the little guy uses distance, height, etc. to carry out fuzzy designation of target positioning. This allows him to land in an approximate area."

"Can you determine where he landed?"

"It's a bit difficult. What I can see so far is that he set the target distance at a distance of 1,200 miles, and the height is about 50 meters above the water level of the island." Erdoris replied: "The direction is southeast, that's all."

Raschel, the police dog of the Legal Affairs Department, spread out a map, pointed to the map and said, "Look, I'm right, he didn't leave the Lance Empire. This little guy, he's really bold."

As he spoke, he took out a ruler from his body and began to measure.

A long arc was drawn on the map 1,200 miles southeast from Purgatory Island, and he said, "This line is where he ends up."

Chakle said coldly: "Yes, Mr. Raschel, the problem is that your line traverses the entire Lance Empire."

"Oh, don't worry. The characteristic of solving a case has always been to follow the clues. We don't care how difficult it is. The important thing is whether our opponent has left us any clues. As long as there is such a little clue, then an excellent detective can find more clues along this thread." Raschel said with great confidence.

This time it was Erdoris' turn to become curious: "Then, Mr. Detective, how do you plan to further determine the specific location of Xiu Yiglaer?"

Raschel asked Erdoris back: "I would like to ask the master, why did that little guy increase the height to 50 meters above the level of Purgatory Island?"

Erdoris replied: "Space teleportation has always had immeasurable risks in terms of ultra-distance. You must know that space barriers are everywhere, and without accurate positioning, he may appear anywhere, including underground. Therefore, even space magicians like us cannot teleport ourselves to places that we cannot see without space positioning. Not only because of the limited magic power, but also because we cannot determine our position, so we cannot guarantee what the consequences will be. In contrast, earth mages take advantage of this , They all come out of the soil anyway, as long as they don’t transmit themselves into water or places with metal, they can transmit, but they are limited by other aspects, besides distance and magic power, there are also speed, time and other issues. The reason why he wants to increase the distance is because he doesn’t want to send himself to the ground.”

"Very good." Raschel smiled slightly: "Then I have another question, is it sure to be safe at high altitude?"

"That guy has learned battle qi from Lancelot, and he also knows a little bit of magic. He can't be troubled by a height of tens of meters." Chakle replied.

Raschel shook his head again and again: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I've already read all the information about him. What I mean is, isn't there any possibility of him entering any dangerous area in the air?"

Chakle and Edoris were stunned at the same time. "You mean the mountains?" cried Edoris.

"There are also tall buildings." Raschel said coldly: "Although the probability of this is not very high, you cannot deny the existence of this possibility."

Erdoris shouted: "That's right, I understand what Mr. Raschel means. If Hugh Igles doesn't want to send himself into the mountains, he must choose a plain area that is wide enough and free of hills."

Raschel's finger scratched the line on the map: "Then on this line, the most open plain area is the Versa Group in the middle of the empire. I think we have found that point."

Edoris sighed in admiration: "Mr. Raschel, you are indeed a shrewd and capable person. Hugh Iglell will definitely choose to teleport himself to this place, which is the safest place for him. If he lands here, he won't have to worry about teleporting himself to the mountains... Maybe there is still danger, but at least the danger has been minimized."

Chakle couldn't help but said: "The Versa group is located in the middle of the empire, from here he can go to any place in the empire. I think I want to remind you two that it has been almost a month since the incident happened. I don't think he will stay in this area and wait for us to catch him. Even if he stops there, this point also represents a large vast area. It will still be difficult to find him."

The Liberty made two trips back and forth on the Sea of ​​Death, which resulted in a serious delay in the investigation time.

One month is enough time for one person to cross half the empire.

"I don't think so." Raschel said with a smile: "I would like to remind everyone that any crime can be traced. Our opponent is indeed a smart and cunning guy, but a cunning fugitive does not mean that he is the most difficult fugitive to deal with. On the contrary, many criminals often fall on their cunning."

"Mr. Raschel, I don't think there's any truth in what you say."

"That's because you don't understand. The really hard-to-catch fugitives are those fugitives who don't know where they are going or what they want to do, some fugitives who are aimless. As long as they are not too stupid and leave no clues along the way, then we can't predict where they may go. But cunning and fierce opponents are just the opposite. They always have plans in their minds, they always have a purpose, and they will never do meaningless things. They will always set goals for themselves, and then work hard towards this goal. There are traces of whereabouts."

Speaking of this, Raschel said meaningfully: "Obviously, our little guy's opponent is such a fugitive. He is very smart and cunning, but he is not a professional fugitive, but I am a professional. I can be sure that before he leaves this island, he must have a plan of what to do. As long as we can know what he wants, we can know his destination, and then we will easily catch him."

Chakle asked with some doubts: "Do you think you can know where he wants to go?"

"Then I have to thank you for the information you provided earlier." Raschel replied: "During the time I was waiting for the arrival of Master Erdoris, I have been researching the situation of Xiu Yiglaer. I found that many interesting things happened to this man, such as the good relationship between him and the little princess... I don't want to talk about some things for now, but what I want to say is... If I remember correctly, he is from Nanweier Town?"

He stared at Chakle: "You bought him from there, right?"

Chakle was stunned, and nodded quickly: "Yes, that's right. I bought him from Southwell Town in Notts Group."

Raschel sent the map to Chakle: "Why don't you see where Will Town is?"

Don't look, Chakle knows it too. The town of South Wells is on the line previously drawn by Raschel, and it is in the neighboring province of the Versa Group, the Nords Group.

He sighed softly: "Mr. Raschel, do you think he will go back to his home?"

This time, he called you.

"Yes, and he will definitely go. Of course, I am not sure when he will go and how long he will stay there, but I believe he will definitely go. For him, it is the place where he was born and raised, and there are too many memories. When a person has experienced so much pain, he always wants to go home emotionally."

"I know what to do." Chuckley said coldly: "Mr. Raschel, you have already helped us a lot in this case, and I am very grateful for your help. But I guess at this time, Winnington should have dispatched capable agents from the Legal Affairs Bureau to deal with it. I don't think you need to ask about the next thing."

Raschel sneered: "Are you planning to abandon me?"

"No, it's just that you are no longer needed. If it wasn't urgent, we wouldn't come to you. Remember, this is the top secret of the empire, just keep your mouth shut, Mr. Raschel."

With that said, Chakle turned and left.

Erdoris looked at Chakle's back with some doubts, and couldn't figure out why Chakle let such a useful agent go, so he insisted on asking the Winnington Justice Department for help. On the contrary, it was Raschel, who smiled even more proudly.

He walked towards Bailey not far away: "Master Bailey, can I have a private talk with you?"

—————————————————

In the once bustling castle, there is no one else except the crew of the Liberty and some warriors escorting the ship.

Walking on the ruins, Raschel asked Bailey to sit down after seeing that there was no one around.

"Lord Bailey, I don't think you know me very well. So I think it's necessary for me to introduce myself again before we talk." Rachel said politely to Bailey: "Speaking of which, I'm just an ordinary detective, and I'm just a sheriff in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. I don't have any ambitions, I have no interest in becoming a nobleman, and I lack the education that a nobleman should have. Therefore, I often speak straightforwardly and easily offend people. Diligent, I haven't broken through to the third-level warrior yet. It can be said that I am very useless."

Bailey looked at him coldly without saying a word.

Raschel chuckled and said, "But I have at least one advantage, which is to read words and expressions. Many times, I can see a person's mood through his expressions, words, and movements..."

Bailey's face changed a little.

Raschel continued: "The reason why I became a hound is because of my ability, and I really like my job. For me, there is nothing more fulfilling than catching those cunning criminals."

Speaking of this, Raschel sighed: "It's a pity, it seems that I finally ran into a criminal who may be the most cunning criminal in the history of the Lance Empire, but I didn't have the opportunity to catch him with my own hands. I think this will become my lifelong regret."

"I regret it too." Bailey finally spoke: "But it can't be helped."

"I don't think so." Raschel said suddenly: "I noticed that during this period of time, you, your partner, and Master Chakle behaved a little abnormally."

Bailey was taken aback.

Raschel continued: "Since I came to the island, I have been wondering about one thing. Why did Master Chakle and you warriors start to behave abnormally after discovering that Hugh Igles is the murderer? I feel a kind of fear in your heart... What are you afraid of? I am surprised. I even found that a dignified land warrior is not at all interested in the pursuit of the fugitive who caused such a major case on Purgatory Island. On the contrary, he always stated repeatedly to capture this criminal People's difficulties, trying to dispel the idea of ​​arresting Hugh Igleser who is wanted nationwide."

Bailey couldn't help taking a few steps back, and Raschel followed closely, staring at Bailey and saying, "Master Bailey, can you tell me why?"

Bailey forced himself to be calm: "I don't know what you are talking about, Mr. Raschel."

"Oh, is it? Then how do you explain an interesting piece of information I found in this incomplete record..." Raschel showed an incomplete record book that was incompletely burned by the fire: "The record on it shows that from the third month after Hugh Igles went to the island, for nearly four years, he appeared in every delivery. He used to be a servant, then he was the chief servant, and then he was an apprentice and assistant. It is reasonable to say that with his status constantly improving, it is no longer necessary for him to deliver every delivery in person. It’s a horse, but he never stops. Even when his research work is the most critical, it’s the same. May I ask why? Oh, yes, I also asked some sailors on the Liberty, and they told me that every time you repair Iglesel, you will go to the ship to deliver the goods, and you always ask him to go to your cabin for a small drink..."

Raschel's speech was fast and urgent, like a gunshot, hitting Bailey with holes all over his body.

Bailey roared: "What does this mean?"

Raschel laughed: "Yeah, what does this mean? I was also thinking about this issue... But one day when I was walking on the ruins and regretting the heavy loss here, I suddenly realized that everything that comes out of Alchemy Island is a good thing of great value..."

Bailey's body trembled.

Raschel said with a smile: "Considering your strange reactions, and considering that people like Xiu Yigle have absolutely no reason to do things that are not good for me, I couldn't help but come up with an answer in my mind... Oh, my God, this answer was terrible. I even frightened myself at the time. I thought I was crazy. How could I think of such a possibility? The island is like a fish in water, so he can secretly do things that others can't think of. Because he has a special resource channel..."

Bailey took a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Raschel, I once heard that people from the Legal Affairs Bureau always regarded everyone as a criminal. At that time, I thought it was just nonsense, but now it seems that it is true. Do you know what you are saying now?"

"Oh, no, no, Lord Bailey, don't misunderstand me. I never wrong any good people. So last time we went back to invite Master Erdoris, I asked a friend from the Legal Affairs Department to help me investigate and understand some information. In fact, these materials are not rare, just check the recent living conditions of you, Lord Bailey, your friends, and Lord Chakle."

"You dare to investigate me!" Bailey was so angry that he wanted to kill the bastard in front of him.

Raschel's eyes have become cold: "The Jurisdiction has the right to investigate anyone who is suspected, and we have the right to suspect anyone. Although I don't know the specifics about your living conditions, Lord Bailey, I have a survey on your living conditions in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The survey shows: Lord Bailey, your luxury life is much more enviable than the average noble. But I can't find any other source of income other than the current income. And your family is also a bottomless pit of spending money. It also cannot bring you any benefits. I think we may be able to further confirm this point from a more specific investigation report after we return to Shenzhen and Hong Kong."

Bailey's face was pale at this time: "No, Raschel, I did not collude with Hugh Igleser."

"I know, and I believe this too." Raschel nodded: "Otherwise, you wouldn't be afraid, shocked, or worried about anything. But this also doesn't mean you're not guilty, and it doesn't mean you didn't indirectly help Hugh Iglesel complete his plan. Can you tell me what you gave him in return?"

"Some...something he specified." Bailey answered tremblingly, his teeth chattering.

"What?"

Bailey answered tremblingly, and Raschel nodded while listening: "Very good, no wonder he can easily deceive Lancelot away. He has already figured out the details of everyone on this island. You also gave him the soul law book, and even helped him kill the new apprentice so that he can stay in that position... Oh, my God, you really dare to do it. You will give him whatever he wants. He is directing you like a pack of dogs! Greed...you are the biggest original sin." Raschel shook his head. sigh.

Bailey's face showed a fierce look.

Raschel smiled and looked at Bailey: "I guess you must really want to kill me."

Bailey froze.

"But it's a pity that I left some information there when I returned to Shenzhen and Hong Kong last time. If I die, my guess now will appear in front of His Majesty's desk within a few days. I mean... no matter what the reason is, as long as I die, this situation will inevitably happen."

Bailey said helplessly: "Mr. Raschel, what do you want? I can give you all my money."

"No, Lord Bailey, that's your money, not mine. I'm not interested in money, I'm only interested in this fugitive. I want to catch him, catch him with my own hands! But it seems that Lord Chakle doesn't want me to intervene in this matter. I guess he wants Hugh Igleser to disappear from the world. But unfortunately, I want to let him down. I need you to tell Chakle. Scheer was personally in charge of capturing Hugh Iglesel."

"that's it?"

Raschel smiled and said: "I know what you are worried about. So I suggest that we cooperate. I am a person who is used to using my brain, but my force is terrible, so I need some capable assistants. As far as I know, that Hugh Igleser is not simple. He has been taught by big figures like Lancelot, Padgett and Cross. On the surface, he is a junior warrior, but I doubt whether he is hiding his strength. It is not surprising, right? Besides, he is an alchemist Teacher. Although he used his mind to create the case of Purgatory Island, I believe that if he wants to force it, he must have quite good strength, but a person like him will not easily show his strength. But I will not underestimate him, and people who can do such great things should not be underestimated, so if I find him, someone needs to deal with him. "

He looked at Bailey: "I'm responsible for catching him and getting the space object, and you are responsible for killing him and protecting your secrets. We have the best of both worlds, what do you think? We all know that the empire must want to live for Xiu Yiglaer. So no one can help you except me."

Bailey breathed a sigh of relief: "Raschel, do you know, you scared me to death just now. If you said that directly, I believe Lord Chakle and I would not disagree. Anyway, someone needs to do this, and it is of course best to have someone of your own."

Raschel sneered and said, "I have an additional condition, that is, you must absolutely obey my command."

"this……"

In terms of status, even Bailey is much higher than Raschel, let alone the eighth-level earth warrior Chakle.

Asking them to obey Raschel's orders is really difficult.

But at the next moment, Bailey still nodded and said: "Okay, I will convince Master Chakle, I believe it will not be difficult. From today onwards, you will be responsible for coordinating the nationwide arrest of Hugh Iglesel."

"That's exactly what I want." Raschel smiled smugly.
