Almighty Alchemist

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Epilogue (Part 2)

On Purgatory Island, Raschel's face was solemn as he walked among the ruins.

Is this the Purgatory Island?

The place where the empire's great alchemist, Hynes, forged combat weapons for the empire?

He never thought that one day he would come here to touch the top secrets of the empire. The reason why Chakle chose him was entirely because Shenzhen and Hong Kong were the closest cities to here.

"Master Chakle, may I ask when exactly did you discover the situation here?" Raschel asked in a deep voice.

"At noon eight days ago, my people and I came to Purgatory Island and found that no one came to the port. I felt something was wrong. I brought a few people to the castle to see what happened..."

"And then you discovered all this in front of you?"

"Yes."

"Have you touched anything here?"

"No." Chakle was very sure: "Although I am not... an agent, I still know what to do. After I saw the situation here, we came back to find you immediately. The distance from Shengang to Lianhe Island is too far, and we desperately managed to get back only two and a half days."

"Master Chakle, if you want to call me Hound or Eagle Dog, I will definitely not care." Raschel laughed.

He came to a corpse, carefully observed the degree of corruption of the body, and said casually: "It happened fifteen to twenty days ago."

Then he stood up and continued to observe the surrounding environment, and casually said: "All the magic cages have been opened, and the spar energy has been completely exhausted. Judging from the damage traces, almost all the damage was caused by the monster and the troll god lying there now. There is no sign of invasion by external forces. This shows that it was done by insiders, and it was premeditated."

Chuckle breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that a certain hostile country discovered this place and sent people to the island to destroy everything and take away all the achievements. Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this issue.

Raschel continued to inspect the ruins. He pointed to a charred pillar and said, "Before it fell down, this was the alchemy tower where Hines lived and worked?"

"Yes." Chuckley replied.

"Before it collapsed, there was a fire, the fire started on the first floor, but it obviously didn't spread. Can you tell me what's on the first floor?"

Chakle's face was ugly: "The library, there are all records about alchemy."

"Then it's gone now," Raschel said grimly.

Raschel kept walking around, observing every corner, and at the same time casually pointed out certain situations that occurred when the incident happened. It can be seen that this is indeed a very shrewd and capable guy.

He stood in front of Haines's body, looking at the demon spirit lying on the ground, as well as Haines's dissected stomach, shaking his head and sighing: "It seems that this master alchemist has experienced the pain that his test subjects have experienced, not only him, but also his apprentices and assistants. Before he died here, he had confronted the person who caused all this face to face. Well, the location should be here... I guess they had some communication, and the result was that the murderer ran away and Haines died."

Speaking of this, Raschel raised his head and looked at Chakle: "I guess you are familiar with the people on the island, right? I noticed that you and a few of your subordinates don't look very good. I think... maybe you know who did it? I mean, there must be a corpse missing here, the corpse of someone you are familiar with."

Chakle took a long breath: "Mr. Raschel, you are very smart. Yes, the corpse of a person we are very familiar with is missing."

"who is it?"

"Hugh Iglesel."

"What's the history?"

"An assistant."

"An assistant? Why did he do this? Look, here used to be a castle, but now it is in ruins. If you really want to attack this place, you need at least a complete army. If he wants to leave this island, why does he use such a drastic method? If he doesn't want to stay here, as an assistant, he can use a better way to leave."

Chakle looked back at Bailey behind him, the fourth-level warrior was already trembling with fright. But he still bit the bullet and replied: "He used to be a servant, but because of his outstanding performance, he first became an apprentice, and then became Hines' assistant."

"Ah! So that's the case." Raschel nodded seriously, and then snapped his fingers: "Then I think we have found the motive, right?"

Chakle and others swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Yes, I think so."

"I remember there is also a star warrior named Lancelot?"

"He lives by the lake."

"Go, go and have a look."

When he came to the small lake, Raschel saw the teleportation circle.

He nodded: "Now we know how that Hugh Iglesel left. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a teleportation circle...a great invention, who made it?"

Chakle said helplessly, "It's him."

Raschel was a little surprised this time: "No wonder he can become Hines' assistant. How long has he been working here?"

"Not yet four years."

"Then he's a genius."

Chakle couldn't help but said: "I'm more concerned about where Lancelot is? Did he do these things with that kid, did he betray the empire!"

"No, absolutely impossible. I have to say that Lord Lancelot must be glad that I came to investigate the scene this time. I am not the kind of detective who casually planted blame on others but has no knowledge. Although he is not here and we have not found his body, I can be sure that he definitely did not do this with Hugh Iglesel."

"Why?"

"First of all, because in the castle, I didn't find any signs of a star warrior. All the damage I saw was caused by magic, brute force and monsters. This shows that Lancelot definitely did not do anything in the castle. Even if he did, he never used fighting energy. The traces left after using fighting energy are completely different from magic. I am an expert on this point."

"please continue."

Raschel said: "This wooden house is very tidy. I noticed that many daily necessities are not only neatly arranged, but many of them are necessary, but they were not taken away. On the contrary, they were tidied up. I even saw some desserts that looked quite delicious were sealed with ice. This shows that this star warrior intends to come back and continue to enjoy the food. If you plan to kill people and run away, would you do that?"

Chakle nodded in understanding.

Raschel pointed to the teleportation circle on the ground and said: "There is also this one. Although I don't understand how it works, I can still understand through the powder of the energy spar that they need energy spar as power. What's interesting is that I clearly saw thirty-eight super-large energy spar embedded grooves on the magic circle, but found at least forty or fifty piles of spar powder. What does this mean?"

"It means that the teleportation array has been activated twice." Chakle quickly replied.

"That's right. Lord Chakle, now you have the answer, right? Let's think about it. For some reason, Lancelot used this teleportation circle to leave Purgatory Island first, and then everything that happened next... Is this a coincidence? Or premeditated?" Raschel fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Perhaps we can use the simplest inference to prove whether it was a coincidence or premeditation... If Lord Lancelot hadn't left Purgatory Island, do you think he can defeat the troll god with his strength? "

"There is absolutely no problem. No matter how powerful the troll god is, he is just a golem. An individual golem is nothing. Even if I am here, I am sure to defeat him. Maybe my strength is not as strong as it, but I have wisdom and enough fighting skills."

Raschel nodded: "That's right, so that means, if the murderer wants to do all this, the existence of Lancelot is a big trouble. Before he actually does it, he must first solve this trouble. Now it seems that Lancelot was tricked away by the murderer in some way. Yes, it can only be tricked..."

Then he squatted down and looked down at the transmission array, murmured: "This is a very cunning guy. He not only lied to Lancelot, destroyed the castle, and killed Heins and Andrew. He also destroyed the French formation before leaving. However, it was obvious that he couldn't destroy it too thoroughly. So he still left a lot of traces ... By the way, Master Cha Kle, except for the transmission array on the island, is there any other places? "

Chakle shook his head: "The purpose of our visit this time is to take away the teleportation array, but unfortunately, we didn't have time to do it. At present, the only technology the empire possesses is probably ultra-distance communication, but without the production of Purgatory Island, it may be very difficult to popularize it for full use."

"Although I'm not a magician, I at least understand one reason. There is no corresponding teleportation array, which means one-way teleportation and disorderly teleportation. If the direction is not well grasped, then he may be sent to the sea of ​​death."

"Then you mean..."

Raschel almost put his entire face on the magic circle: "It is impossible for a well-prepared plan to leave himself a suicidal choice at the last moment, so he must have made some compensations without you knowing. After all, this is the magic circle he invented, isn't it?" He pointed to the incomplete magic circle: "Maybe the scales on these magic circles can give us the answer. For example, this may represent height, then this may be distance... Lord Chakle, I think you need to find a mage who is proficient in space magic immediately Here we come. We need to study the rest of the magic circle. As long as we can find out what the murderer did on it, then even if we can't determine his exact teleportation location, we can at least find his general direction. As long as we confirm his teleportation direction and distance, I'm sure to catch him! In addition, we also need to try to find Lord Lancelot immediately. I guess he is not dead. Although that kid has the ability to send him directly to hell, I don't think he will do that. This can be done without a teleportation circle... Please don’t believe me, I know Lancelot is very powerful, but you must know that the power of wisdom is infinite, and our enemies have enough wisdom.”

Raschel looked at Chakle and the other warriors: "This is a very cunning enemy."

"Even if we know the direction and distance, the area where he may escape will be very vast, plus his cunning...I think it will be difficult for us to find him. Is it necessary for us to spend such a huge amount of manpower and material resources for such a fugitive?" Chakle said, speaking from the bottom of his heart, after confirming that the murderer is Hugh Igleser, Chakle hoped to give up the pursuit.

After all, once the original deal between them and Xiu Yiglaer was revealed, the empire might not let them go.

But Raschel said indifferently: "Compared to what he took away, I'm afraid no amount of manpower and material resources are worth it."

"What did you say?" Chakle was shocked.

Raschel has already picked up something from the ground and said softly: "Look at what this is? If I read correctly, this thing should be the seed of some rare plant. Although I am not an alchemist, I also have a deep understanding of plants. My God, I thought they were extinct. It seems that a seed stuck to his body and then fell here."

He looked at Chakle, and then smiled: "That kid is very cunning, so cunning that I was shocked. He deliberately destroyed everything here, making us think that all research records, experimental materials, and various finished products no longer exist. But in fact...all valuable things were taken away by him. I guess he must have a ring or bracelet that can store a lot of items. Isn't that the category of space magic? It is also the area he studies."

"Oh, my God." Chuckle couldn't help but groan.

Raschel said sternly: "Get ready to inform the emperor to conduct a nationwide raid. That Hugh Iglell possesses the knowledge and wealth that can subvert a country. No matter where he is, we must find him and catch him! At least... we must also get that ring or other spatial objects."

Bailey said worriedly: "But what if he is no longer in our country?"

Raschel chuckled: "If I were Hugh Iglare, I would definitely not leave the Lance Empire."

"You don't mean to say that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is?"

"No, that's nonsense. Don't believe in such a boring adventure theory. What I want to say is that when a person can escape tomorrow, but destroys everything here before leaving, it means that he doesn't pay attention to us at all, and he doesn't care about the danger at all. If a dying person can survive on a deserted island that is constantly in danger while not forgetting to fight back, then when his surviving scope expands to the entire empire, what should he worry about? Guess he would be very happy to see the mournful faces of the imperial officials, so if I were him, I would not leave the empire. I want to stand upright in this country and watch some big shots, and watch how they deal with me, arrest me, and then stage a big prey counterattack...At least he has succeeded once, it is very fulfilling, isn't it? "

The faces of Chakle, Bailey and others became increasingly difficult to look.

Raschel walked around the magic circle with his hands behind his back, as if he could see something from this sophisticated magic circle. He said coldly: "Gentlemen, this young man is the most vicious and cunning fugitive I have ever seen since I entered the Judiciary. What we are facing is by no means an ordinary boy. He is stoic, vicious, bold, cautious, well-planned, thoughtful, and full of adventurous spirit. This is a very difficult and terrifying opponent. It will be a very difficult task to catch him. But here we have one thing to be thankful for - that is, although he is so cunning, he is obviously not professional. He is not a professional criminal , that's why he left clues for me to discover, but I'm an expert in catching criminals..."

Speaking of this, Raschel looked up at Chakle: "I need all the information about this boy, the more detailed the better."
