Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 19 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas

Before that round of bloody sun fell from the end of the sky, the holy knights who entered Fragrant Leaf City finally set off again.

Xiu Yi felt a sense of rejoicing from the bottom of her heart. Any well-planned plan would hate the intervention of external forces. The accidents they brought would usually only abort all perfect tricks.

So when the holy knight team left Fragrant Leaf City, he felt that the god of luck had favored him at least for now.

The streets at night are quiet, and there are almost no people in sight.

Xiuyi is walking on the empty road, and Fengying is in front of him to explore the road. It is a great test for the boy's will to break free from the arms of beauties like Daisy and Lanti. Sometimes Xiuyi himself doubts whether the path he chooses at the moment has a tendency to self-abuse. Maybe God airdropped him to the song and dance troupe in the hope that he will live a peaceful and peaceful life from now on. However, he chose another more difficult path, which made him doomed. , Accompanying him can only be conspiracy and killing.

The Lord's Mansion is not far ahead.

He has been guarding the Black Palm Bar for more than a month, and he is already familiar with the situation here. This time can be said to be the moment when the defense of the Lord's Mansion is the most lax. Archmage Ablit is not in the Lord's Mansion. According to the habit, he is in a villa outside the city, conducting his own space magic experiments. He will not come here unless necessary.

The gate of the Lord's Mansion was guarded by two warriors.

It is not too difficult for a magician to enter the lord's mansion without the eyes of the samurai. What is difficult is how to determine where the Electra's notebook is stored. He already knows that Ablit has a secret treasure room in the lord's mansion. The only question is where it is.

Huey intends to use some simple and effective methods to solve this problem.

"Hong, you've got it," he said softly.

A pair of blazing birds soared into the sky. They hovered over the Lord's Mansion for a while, then suddenly opened their mouths wide and spewed out raging flames towards the Lord's Mansion.

A large number of fire elements gushed out like a volcanic eruption, crazily raging around, and a bright flame rose from the dark night sky.

The fire caused chaos in the lord's mansion, and a large number of warriors, guards and servants rushed out shouting and shouting.

Standing on the roof of an eaves, Xiu Yi lightly raised his hand, and he released three warblers to fly to every corner of the lord's mansion. These places are the most likely places where the treasure house exists.

When a chief guard rushed to the backyard with a large group of people, the situation was seen by Xiu Yi, and he knew that there was his target.

He is not in a hurry, the fire will cause the guards to be in chaos for a while, all he needs to do is wait before he strikes.

The two arsonists, the red and the green, had returned at this moment, staying on their own bodies at this moment, showing off their respective achievements to each other. As a reward, Xiu Yi took out two fire spars and gave them each one.

The two guys stretched their necks and swallowed the spar, belching contentedly, the little demon Long Xu looked at Xiu Yi with pitiful eyes, and Xiu Yi twisted its ears: "There is no reward for not working hard,"

The little guy whimpered sadly, lying on Huey's lap and wagging his tail non-stop.

Fengying sent back the voices of the guards:

"Report to the captain, no enemy intrusion has been found,"

"Report, chamber security,"

"Report, the fire has been brought under control and there are no casualties,"

"Has anyone found out how the fire started," said the captain's voice.

"Yes, someone saw two birds flying over the sky, they looked like two fire elemental birds,"

"Fire elemental bird, this is impossible,"

"It may also be an ordinary fire magic bird, but someone did see those two birds spitting fire downward,"

"Whether at the behest of someone,"

"Didn't see the light of the magic contract,"

"Oh, damn it, do I have to explain to the lord that two passing free monsters burned his mansion for fun?"

"...I'm afraid that's the only way to explain it, Captain,"

What follows is a string of invectives from the grumpy captain.

Xiu Yi looked at Red and Green with a smile: "Good job, the free monster passing by, um,"

Red and Green raised their heads proudly.

Whether it is red, green or Xu, they have not signed any contract with Xiu Yi. Xiu Yi's respect for them is the greatest guarantee for their friendship. Although they have always followed Xiu Yi, they are indeed free. They are an equal existence to each other, and what they have is a kind of mutual respect among good friends.

As the fire was extinguished, the crowd gradually dispersed, and everyone returned to their respective positions.

The night regained its calm again.

Standing on the eaves in the distance, Xiu Yi lightly recited the incantation, and the door of space suddenly opened.

Xiu Yi stepped in, and the next moment, he appeared in the lord's mansion.

Casually releasing a mana sucker, Xiu Yi desperately sucked the mana from Xu's body to make up for his own consumption.

The magic power needed to open up a space channel is simply not something that Xiu Yi can bear at all. Fortunately, the little magic dragon has played the role of a magic power replenisher at this moment. Compared with the magic power recovery potion and magic power stimulation potion, the biggest advantage of the existence of the little guy is that it saves money.

Xu hummed dissatisfied with this, and Xiu Yi threw it a spar as a reward.

Next, he strolled around the Lord's Mansion, as if walking in his own back garden.

Ablit's secret room is in a rockery in the backyard, opening the passage leading to the inside of the rockery requires special techniques.

When he came to the rockery at this moment, everything was as he had guessed. There were some strange runes engraved around the rockery. In the eyes of those who didn’t understand, these engravings looked like graffiti made by children here, but in Xiuyi’s eyes, every engraving and every symbol had its own unique meaning.

The Alchemist is the most knowledgeable magician in this world. They study various magic theories. The understanding of things such as the French formation and the enchantment far exceeds the ordinary magician. Although the Xiu Yi itself is not a legal formation expert in the alchemy field, he still has sufficient grasp to crack the power of this space. It's too strong. If you don't want to make a trace of movement to solve him without letting the master notice it, it is really difficult.

He thought for a while, and finally decided to use the safest method.

An advanced spell of the space system, Breaking Barriers.

This is a fifth-level space spell. As a junior mage of the space system, it is basically impossible to use such a spell. Fortunately, Xiu Yi is also an alchemist. The secret of alchemists is that they can always use other auxiliary means to complete the magic that magicians can use. All this has nothing to do with the level, but only with how much knowledge they have and how many conditions they have.

The next moment, Xiu Yi began to set up the "Barrier Breaking" magic circle. This magic circle can replace him to use the barrier breaking spell. Although it can't be used casually like a space mage, it doesn't have enough power, and every time it is used, it will consume a certain amount of materials and energy crystals.

In face-to-face combat, alchemists may be the weakest, but as long as they are given enough time and preparation, they can do many things that great magicians cannot do. This truth has been confirmed time and again.

After the arranged magic circle was activated, there was a slight noise. Fortunately, Xiuyi had also set up a soundproof barrier in advance. With the light of a small ball of white light, the defensive barrier arranged by Ablit was broken, and a dark passage appeared inside the rockery in front of him.

Release the wind warbler to explore the way, and in the palm of Xiu Yi's hand, a phosphorescent grass emits a faint green light, illuminating the road under Xiu Yi's feet.

He walked inside.

There is no ambush in the passage. It seems that Ablit quite trusts the space barrier he has set up. Space spells have always been the most powerful in terms of barriers. Most of the people who can break the space barrier are also great mages of the space system. In the Lance Empire, there is no one who can surpass Ablit in space spells.

So Ablit would never have thought that there would be an alchemist who would easily find his secret treasure and easily break through his defensive barrier. You must know that even making a "barrier breaking" magic circle is not something that any alchemist can do.

After walking not far, Xiu Yi saw the light shining from the magic lamp in the distance.

Rows of shelves appeared in front of me, with some small wooden boxes on them, most of which were stored with magic gems, rare alchemy materials and some magic scrolls.

In the middle of the secret room, there is a small platform.

There was a book on it.

Xiu Yi knew that that was the target he came to look for, another Electra's notebook.

No one can tell how many alchemy notes Electra left back then, but for the alchemists, even the ancient artifacts placed in front of them were not more valuable than Electra's notes.

What Huey got from Pierre was an essay about Electra's experience in making golems in the early days. To Huey, that note wasn't of great significance, mainly because, unless Huey was sure of creating a troll god army that could compete with the Lance Empire, thousands of golems would be less meaningful to him than a bottle of camouflage potion that could disguise him as someone else. Apart from exposing his existence and killing a few more enemies, there are really not many benefits.

So he very much hoped to get a notebook about Electra's achievements in other aspects. The field of alchemy was huge and diverse, and Huey thought he still had a lot to learn.

The notebook in front of him deeply attracted Xiu Yi at this moment.

However, he didn't start immediately, but first carefully observed the surrounding layout.

After confirming that there was no mechanism, he picked up the notebook.

Turning to the first page, a row of familiar handwriting appeared in front of my eyes:

"Magicweave Making Essay,"

This is obviously a note from Electra's later period, and its value and technical achievements are far higher than the one on Purgatory Island. After all, the first book is only the work of Electra's early student period. Even if it is mainly made of golems, there are still many immature places.

However, after reading the book in front of her, Xiuyi was unavoidably disappointed.

Because this notebook is not a note to record the results of the magic pattern, but a record of Electra's notes when he was researching and making the magic pattern. The whole notebook does not give a definite answer to the result of the magic pattern engraving, but provides many fresh ideas.

For Xiu Yi, these ideas will be of great help to his future growth, but judging from the current situation, they are not too valuable treasures.

After putting away the notes, Xiu Yi's eyes wandered around.

He hopes to find some other valuable items.

The collection of the sixth-level space master is not insignificant, but for Xiu Yi, who has experienced the life of Purgatory Island, the rare materials and magic gemstones in front of him are simply impossible to compare with the ones in his own ring. Naturally, he has to accept them, but the feeling of surprise is far from being achieved.

When he was depressed that he entered Baoshan but found nothing of value, a map caught his attention.

This is a map of the Northern Continent. The map itself can be said to be shoddy, not a high-quality product. To Xiuyi's surprise, there is a thick red line on the map, which runs through the entire Lance Empire. Where the red line passes, it is marked with conspicuous symbols in various regions.

In one area, someone drew a circle with an ink pen and made an annotation: Red Sun Mountains, Electra's second laboratory, empty, got two notebooks, (confirmed to be correct).

Xiu Yi's heart beat uncontrollably.

,,,,,,,,,.

Xiuyi finally understood how he got the notebook on Lianhe Island.

There is no doubt that the Lance Empire is looking for the former Electra's laboratory. They probably made such a map based on the legend and the route Electra once traveled, and sent a large number of people to find the laboratory that Electra may be hiding somewhere.

After many years of searching, the Lance Empire finally found such a place and got two notebooks from it. It seems that Ablit, the space mage, was one of the main personnel who searched for Electra's laboratory back then. After all, space magic has unique advantages in breaking barriers and finding hidden spaces.

And after getting these two notebooks, Ablit left a note for himself, which is the magic pattern essay in front of him. Due to the high status of space mage Ablit, the things he was unwilling to take out, even the emperor was unwilling to force him. From a deeper point of view, the popularity of magic pattern production is indeed of no benefit to the Lance Empire. Talent is an important basis for distinguishing magicians from ordinary people. It will seriously weaken the nobles' control over the lower class civilians, just like the proliferation of guns will weaken the government's ruling power and cause chaos in social security. The engraving of the magic pattern is equivalent to a magic gun that everyone can use.

Therefore, the Lance Empire can pursue any of Electra's great inventions, but the production of the magic pattern is sealed and preserved, and no one is allowed to own or disclose it. This may be an important reason why Ablit can keep this notebook, so no matter how Hines asks for this notebook, Ablit insists on refusing it, but now it has fallen into Huey's hands.

But to Xiu Yi, the map in front of him obviously has more substantive significance.

Obviously, the Lance Empire has divided and studied all the places where Electra may set up laboratories, and has been conducting long-term exploration. Although they only found one Electra's laboratory in the end, it also clearly shows that there may indeed be other laboratories hidden in the above-mentioned locations on the map.

For Xiu Yi, who has longed to follow the great footsteps of Electra since leaving Purgatory Island, this map undoubtedly gave him a direction in life.

With this map, he will know exactly where he will go, what to do, and what to pursue, and he will no longer have to worry about the future direction and think hard about it.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.

For Xiuyi, pursuing and being pursued may be the theme of his future life.

Thinking of this, Xiu Yi couldn't help laughing.

He put away the map and continued to look for anything else that might interest him.

A simple-looking black jade ring aroused his interest.

What puzzled Xiu Yi was that with his current eyesight, he couldn't tell what material the jade ring was made of.

What surprised him most was that when he looked at the jade ring, he actually had a throbbing feeling from the depths of his soul, as if his soul was about to be sucked into the jade ring.

This startled Xiu Yi, he quickly calmed down, and only then suppressed the trembling in the depths of his soul.

Quickly put away the jade ring, and searched out all the items in the treasury, Xiu Yi raised her hand, and a magic long sword was in her hand.

Carved on the wall with a long sword: "Master Ablit, it seems that your treasure house needs to be re-enriched, Xiu Yiglaliu,"

walk away.
