Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 48 The Southern Family

Andrew didn't know that for Gong Hao, the alchemy experiment was actually a time for him to relax.

In the past two years of living on Lianhe Island, he had to rack his brains every day in order to survive, and he was even more exhausted in order to resist. Even so, risks always accompany him.

Killing Neil, Pierre, and even making a deal with Bailey, everything is full of huge risks.

The reason why he can live until now is not only relying on wisdom and hard work, but also luck.

If the pupated new tenant hadn't helped him completely remove the spiritual seeds in his body when he killed Neil, then he would have died.

If the little princess didn't like him, maybe he wouldn't be able to pass the one-year deadline, but could only be forced to escape on a raft, and eventually died on the sea of ​​death.

If his soul spell fails to have the expected effect, Pierre may not be caught, and all plans will come to naught.

If Chakle did not choose to collect benefits, but chose to expose him, then what he is facing now is also a disaster.

There are too many uncertain factors, and it is impossible for any conspiracy and trick to be seamless.

Whether it is a lack of planning or a flaw in execution, it may overturn itself to the ground.

For Gong Hao, this is a war, and he must defeat an army, an elite-level army, by himself.

Not only does he have to do every job well, he has to practice hard, but he also has to look for the enemy's weaknesses from time to time, and then deliver a fatal blow.

If there is anything on this island that he can be thankful for, it may be that his understanding of magic is deepening and his ability is improving day by day.

During this period of time, he has continuously deepened his cultivation of soul spells through alchemy, and there is a faint sign of a breakthrough, and the progress of his wind ability has also exceeded his expectations, and there is also a sign of a breakthrough.

Only then did he remember what Cross had said, that a person with the ability to vibrate elements means that he has a strong talent in this department.

It's no wonder that I didn't use much effort in wind magic, but I was able to gradually break through.

Although Lancelot has always said that hard work is the most important talent, but sometimes talent itself can indeed make people get twice the result with half the effort.

Thinking of this, Gong Hao sighed lightly, and opened the information about Lancelot.

—————————————————

The Southern family can be said to be the oldest family in the Lance Empire, and its history is even longer than the empire itself.

Speaking of the Nanfang family, perhaps many people do not understand the meaning of this name, but when it comes to another name - the Rose family, perhaps many people will understand.

The founding monarch of the Lance Empire back then, Edie Stricker, was the most outstanding member of the Rose family. The Army of the Roses he established in the name of Edie Morzt once swept across the northern continent, fought countless victories, and finally established the Kingdom of Lance.

The Southern family became famous for this.

But the establishment of the Kingdom of Lance and the brilliant achievements of Edie Stricker were not a good thing for the Southern family. In fact, it was almost a disaster.

For Edie Stricker was an outcast illegitimate son of the Southern family, and Morzter was the name of his poor maid mother.

From the day he was born, he had almost nothing to do with the Southern family. In his consciousness, the Southern family is his enemy, not his relatives.

Because of this, after Edie Strike established the Lance Kingdom, the Southern Family did not become prominent because of this, but was ruthlessly suppressed by him.

This kind of suppression did not end until Edie died of a recurrence of old injuries, and the Southern family regained the opportunity to rise.

The death of Edie Stricker gave the Southern family a glimmer of opportunity. Because the founding monarch of the Kingdom of Lance has never had any heirs. But he has a half-brother named Dan Strike.

In the month following Edie's death, Dan claimed the throne as Edith's younger brother.

But this result is not recognized by the public.

Edith Strick's general Charles directly claimed that Dan was not qualified to inherit the throne.

As a result, there was a big battle between Charles and the Southern family, but in the end, no one was able to win, because at that time, a man named Georgia Forland appeared. He claimed to be Edie's illegitimate son. In this capacity, he defeated the two teams at the same time, ascended the throne, and became Stryker II.

Afterwards, it was discovered that Georgia Foran had no blood relationship with Edie, but he was indeed the godson Edie had accepted.

In this way, Georgia Forlan changed her name to Georgia Stricker and began to rule the Kingdom of Lance, while the Southern Family, the legitimate royal family, received a ruthless cold reception.

Although Georgia Foran officially recognized the royal status of the Southern family, the Southern family did not receive any substantive benefits except for the recognition of reputation.

In fact, Georgia Forlan has always been on guard against the Southern family, and does not allow any of their families to appear that may endanger their existence.

This might be the worst and most embarrassing royal family on the mainland.

No one in the Southern family has ever been proud of it.

In the process of Georgia Forlan's later rule of the kingdom, he gradually had his own descendants, his own family, although it still belonged to the southern family in name, it was completely different in essence.

Later generations called it the Glory Family.

This is unique to the Lance Empire, one country, two royal families.

The southern family put aside politics and concentrated on business. In order to revive the family, they put aside their noble status and status, re-established the family management organization, and at the same time recruited business talents. One after another, young people with business talents walked into the Nanfang family and became their backbone.

While the blood of the Glory family is becoming more and more pure, the Southern family has become complex and large due to the addition of a large number of new blood.

These outsiders have re-achieved the glory of the Nanfang family, but they have also made the Nanfang family no longer purely dominated by the Strick surname.

One of them, Lott, is the most important surname in the Southern family today.

This surname was originally not related to Strick Bashangzi, but now it has a prominent status in the southern family.

Seeing this, Gong Hao felt a little bit embarrassed.

This can be said to be a history of blood and tears growing up in a family.

In order to revive the family, or in order to survive, the Nan family paid a huge price. They gave up the nobility of the surname Stricker, and combined with outstanding young people from outside through a large number of marriages, they achieved this huge business family.

As for Lancelot, he was a double of Edith. His father, Burt Lott, was the acting head of the southern family and the actual power holder, but Lancelot himself was also Burt Lott's illegitimate son. The Southern family is very kind to others, but hates the illegitimate child very much. This may be the result of the Rose Lord.

It turned out that Bertrot's wife, Anita Stricker, the current patriarch of the Southern family, was determined not to allow Lancelot into the family.

Although many people with foreign surnames have entered the Southern Family, and the patriarch is no longer the actual person in power, the surname Strick's status in the Southern Family is still unshakable.

Thus, Lancelot became an orphan.

As for the specific reason why Lancelot came to Purgatory Island, according to Bailey's information, he seems to have offended someone who shouldn't be offended for a woman. At that time, Lancelot was not as strong as he is now, and the big man sent him here with just a wave of his hand.

In the end, Lancelot was also fulfilled. He should now be the youngest quasi-holy rank in the Lance Empire.

If he went out now, it is estimated that Strick VI would have to be polite to him.

I just don't know how the Nanfang family will treat this quasi-holy rank?

Gong Hao was quite interested.

There is no doubt that the current Lancelot must really want to go home.

—————————————

"Lord Lancelot." When he came to the small lake, Gong Hao smiled and looked at Lancelot who came out of the wooden house with a look of embarrassment.

He was smoking all over his body.

"Damn it, Huey, why is cooking so difficult?" Lancelot's roar made the ground tremble. After Gong Hao became Hines' assistant, Lancelot never had the chance to taste the delicacies that Gong Hao made for him. As a last resort, he can only continue to cook by himself, and then continue to fail.

"I think... maybe it's because it doesn't get you the glory you expected."

"Do you know what I want?"

Gong Hao shrugged: "For a star warrior, what is more wonderful than returning to his own country and walking freely on that vast land?"

"And you? Do you want it?"

"For me, the oceans of knowledge are endless, and they are so wonderful, not only for my growth, but also for my enjoyment. I don't want to leave here until I get tired of alchemy."

"But to me, it's a prison. You're right, I want to leave every day, but I can't."

"Why? You must know that you are already a star warrior. This is a peak warrior and a free warrior. Even if His Majesty the Emperor sees you, he should be polite to you."

"Strength doesn't mean everything, and force can't solve all problems. Xiu Yi, this is something I only realized after living on Purgatory Island for 20 years. I understand that just having great power doesn't mean you can have a good life. You also need to face life, and you need to face all kinds of problems that can't be solved by force. You can't rely on force to rob, be a robber, a bandit, or challenge the laws of the country. No matter how powerful you are, unless you want to fight against the whole world, you still have to act under the rules. People can become the monarch of the country, but we powerful warriors can only serve the reason. We have strength, but we don’t have the ability to live. We can only submit to others and sell our own force.”

"There will always be people who think they will be the exception."

"Oh, yes, such as the Nightmare Mage. He once created countless killings, and he thought he could solve all problems with his own strength. He killed tens of thousands of people, and his name was even dared not to be mentioned. But so what? The older ones come out to meet people."

"You are right, Lord Lancelot. But do you think there is any difference between you and that nightmare mage now? Aren't you also in a dark corner where you can't see anyone? Nightmare mage can at least come out if he wants to, kill people if he wants, at least he is free, but what about you, my lord?"

Lancelot was slightly taken aback.

Yes, isn't it the same for me now? No, not even as good as a fugitive.

He thought for a while, and finally said with a wry smile: "No, it's different, Xiu Yi. The Nightmare mage doesn't have any worries, but I do."

"woman?"

"...Yes, Huey."

"I guess she's married and maybe has kids."

"That doesn't take away my right to love her."

"But she made you lose your freedom."

Lancelot stood up abruptly, and the aura on his body magnified in an instant, covering Gong Hao's entire body and wrapping him around him. He yelled, "What are you talking about? Hugh Igles, what do you know? Don't think that you can be so rude to me now that you are Hynes' assistant!"

Gong Hao was not in a panic: "Lord Lancelot, I thought I was already your friend, but it seems that I was wrong. I don't know what, this is just the simplest reasoning. You fell in love with a certain girl more than 20 years ago, but it seems that you have encountered setbacks. I guess you may have encountered some unavoidable obstacles, such as a big person, which made you not only lose your favorite, but also let yourself come to this island. Stories like this happen every day in the world. You are not the only one, and you don't have to think that you are The most unfortunate person in the world, let alone how much energy I need to explore such a story."

The aura disappears.

Lancelot sighed: "Hui, you are always so smart. Since you have already guessed it, why ask me."

"I just want to ask you, if one day, you have the opportunity to leave Lianhe Island, would you do it?"

Lancelot hesitated.

He thought for a while, and finally said: "Yes, I will."

"Then maybe I can help you."

"How to do it?"

"Teleportation circle, you know that is my current subject."

Lancelot suddenly realized that it was so.

That's right, with the teleportation circle, I can freely enter and exit Purgatory Island in the future, and the light of hope rose in Lancelot's eyes: "This is great, Xiuyi, are you sure you can do it?"

"No, I'm not sure. You know that the teleportation circle is a problem for all alchemists. But if you are willing to help me, maybe I can do it."

"what do you want me to do?"

"The gate of space. Lord Lancelot, I need you to take me to the location of the gate of space. I want to see its existence, its composition, and its operating principle. It's like if you want to build a weapon, you must first see the prototype. That is the most helpful way for me."

Lancelot gasped.

This kid is a bit too courageous.
