"Da Da Da ......"

On the mountain road, the sound of horses' hooves was incessant, and a team of the Knights of Flamel arrived and surrounded the "murder scene".

Links looked at Erich's body lying on the ground with an ugly face, his eyes flickering slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Click......"

The blood-stained rock armor peeled off layer by layer, revealing Noren's clean black robe, and he stood in the middle of the blood, facing the links from afar with an unchanged face.

On the other hand, when the caster died, Arand, Julius and the others also woke up from the illusion one after another.

When they saw that they were surrounded by the Knights of Flamelmel, everyone's faces changed, and they gathered around Noren.

"What just happened?" Arand asked, pale, "How long have we been unconscious?" ”

"Erich attacked us, but he's dead."

Nolan pointed to the corpse in front of him and said, "As for the current situation, Lord Links seems to be quite unhappy with Erich's death, and wants to ask us for an explanation!" ”

"xx, there's still this!"

When Arand heard this, he was immediately furious, and burst out of Flamell's foul language and walked up to the links theory,

"Links, what do you mean by that? Erich had ill intentions, and he really dared to carry out an assassination in the territory of Flamomel, making it clear that he did not take us seriously.

"It's good that you didn't come to help kill the wicked, but spoke for these wicked people, what do you think!"

"Say a few words!" Links was also irritated in his heart, "It's not as simple as you think!" ”

The assassination of the emissaries is very likely to affect the diplomacy of the various city-states, and even the division of power between the two princes' camps, and he will not be able to make a decision lightly.

There is no right or wrong in this level of the game, only the trade-offs of interests.

"Nope." Arand stomped his foot, "It's that you don't understand the seriousness of this matter!" ”

Links is admittedly a powerful knight, but he is not an alchemist and does not understand how important Noren is to Flammel.

Erich simply didn't have to die, and Shatterstar wasn't a reliable ally.

What decades of long-term friendship are all false, if this friendship really works, how can Shattered Star City do something that makes Flamel embarrassed?

Only Nolan can bring real innovation and progress to Flammel, and with that in mind, the first thing Links should do now is to try to calm the emissaries as much as possible, rather than dwelling over Erich's death.

“…… Wait for Lord Bach to come over. Links sighed, reluctant to say more.

Now, no matter what he does, Flamel will fight one of them, and there is no end to it for Flammel.

He didn't want to take care of this mess, and he didn't want to take responsibility for it.

On the side, Julius looked at the surrounding Flamil Knights vigilantly, and whispered:

"Flammel...... Is this going to turn against us? ”

Although he felt that it should not be the end of the matter, the face of the eighth-order knight over there was really not very good-looking.

"No, it won't."

Having just killed someone and being stared at by dozens of heavily armed knights at the same time, Nolan's expression was still calm, and he chuckled, "They'll be inviting us back soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves came from the other side of the mountain road, breaking the increasingly solemn atmosphere of the scene.

"Lord Bach is here!"

Links breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to meet him.

The carriage of the Lord's Palace, escorted by the knights, soon drove over, and as the carriage stopped, Bach stepped out of the carriage and the first thing he did was to walk towards Noren, and asked solemnly:

"Is anyone hurt, I've brought the best doctor over."

"I'm worried about my lord, we're fine." Noren bowed, "But this assassin has been killed by us, and I heard that their identity ......"

Bach's gaze lingered on Erich's corpse for a moment, then he shook his head and said:

"Whatever their status, the crimes they have committed are unforgivable, and Flamel will certainly investigate the matter thoroughly and give you a satisfactory answer."

Erich is dead, and the relationship between Flamel and Shattered Star City can never be restored to the same as before, and if this time makes Peak City unhappy again, it will really end up unpleasant.

In this chaotic era, if Flamel had to choose a side, then he could only go one way to the dark now, cooperating with Noren's Peaking City.

However, this may not be a bad thing.

Even if the strength of Shattered Star City is stronger on the surface at present, but it is also a city on the alchemy side, and the benefits that Linfeng City can bring to Flamel are unique and unique.

As the lord of Flamel, after only thinking for a moment, Bach already had the answer in his heart.

He continued: "This incident was just an accident, and as the hosts, we are willing to make enough sincere compensation for it to express our deep apologies. ”

"I trust Flamel to do justice for us." Nolan answered.

Of course, this is just a scene, and what really brings justice to the Peak City Emissary is not Bach's sense of justice, but his own strength.

If the envoy group of Peak City was completely wiped out under the ambush of Erich and others, I believe that Bach would not have done it for the sake of the dead and Shattered Star City.

It is very likely that Flamel will be deceived by Erich and take the opportunity to swallow the fruits of his alchemy and collude with Shattered Star City...... And that's another world line.

At least for now, it was Erich who died, and he was the one who had the last laugh.

The winner gets everything, the loser loses everything, and this level of fighting and game is so dangerous and cruel.

Now that the lord of the castle has made a statement, and the people of the knights have scattered to clean up the scene, Bach asked again:

"I've scared you all about what happened, I wonder if you're going to return to Flamel, or if you're going to continue your visit to the Rocky Mines?"

"Why not continue." Nolan smiled, "Maybe you've gotten the news that Peak City has discovered a vein of your own.

"I'm very interested in Flamell's mining technology, and I'm going to learn from you!"

"Very welcome." Bach said kindly, "I have prepared a new carriage for you, and if you are still in the mood, let's go." ”

"Then it's troublesome."

Nolan saluted and left with the Peak City Emissary Regiment.

Seeing them get into the carriage, Bach stopped Arand again before leaving, and asked in a low voice: "Then the three Erich were all killed by Noren?" ”

The three seventh-order mages with different attack styles were undoubtedly quite difficult opponents.

And the envoy group of Linfeng City seemed to be mediocre but could kill them back, and at the same time, there were no casualties themselves, which had to be said to be beyond his expectations.

"Yes."

Aland nodded, although he couldn't get a glimpse of the complete battle because he was hit by the illusion, but Erich should have been killed by the Peak Emissary Regiment alone.

After all, Links didn't want to do anything to the messengers of Shattered Star City.

Thinking back to Bai Raven's amazing fighting posture, he said solemnly: "Linfeng City's research on new magic circles and the research and development of new alchemy weapons are already much ahead of us.

"This is the right path of alchemy that Flamel has been pursuing, and as long as we can follow this path, Flamel will definitely become stronger!"

The correct way to say alchemy is to use human wisdom and acquired alchemical weapons to rival the innate transcendent.

For thousands of years, Flamel has made achievements in various fields of alchemy, such as building the towering Flamel Tower, developing special potions that can become extraordinary, inventing alchemy tools such as night lamps and motors......

But the most critical step - the creation of a powerful alchemy weapon that can rival the high-level transcendentals, is limited by the old system and theory, but there is no breakthrough for a long time.

And without straightforward combat effectiveness, there is no strong right to speak.

This is also the reason why Flamel, despite being known as the holy city of alchemists, is still not at the forefront of the empire in terms of overall strength.

And today, the white raven soaring through the air stunned Aland, and the alchemical weapon she was equipped with enough to slay the high-level mages was the last piece of the puzzle that Flamel lacked!

"Alchemy weapons that are enough to kill high-level mages......"

Bach chewed on the deeper meaning of this sentence, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

This really explains why the Impendum City Emissary Regiment was able to fight back against the powerful Erich Trio, but he didn't expect Noren to have researched the new alchemy weapon to such an extent.

"I don't know how many secrets he still has in his head."

Bach shook his head and sighed, "Originally, the atmosphere last night was not bad, but this afternoon something like this happened, and if you want to exchange these precious alchemy results, I'm afraid you will have to pay more price." ”

He could almost have predicted that when the cooperation was negotiated, Nolan would make a big fuss about it, accusing Flamel of poor hospitality and insincerity of cooperation, so as to demand more benefits.

Before, when he thought that Flammel's thousand-year-old alchemy savings would be selected and used by this hairy boy at will, he always had a strange feeling in his heart.

It's as if the delicate girl who has been raised in the imperial capital mansion for more than ten years has been arched by a nouveau riche in the countryside......

He understood that this was a kind of top-down look down on the juniors by the predecessors of alchemy, even if he recognized Nolan's talent, deep down, he still did not think that the newborn Peak City could be on an equal footing with the ancient Flamel.

That's why he was so competitive about the terms of cooperation, and he didn't want Linfeng City to take advantage of him.

But looking at it now, is that really the case?

From this battle, it can be seen that in the field of new alchemy weapons, Peak City has surpassed Flamel by a lot, and these are the research results that Flamel dreams of.

Now is not the time to hide her eldest girl, but to let the eldest girl beg to marry this promising nouveau riche with a lot of dowry......

Although this is not a very appropriate analogy, this is probably the current situation of Flamel and Impeller.

Alander looked at this very openly, and said with a smile: "The so-called old does not go, the new does not come, knowledge and resources are different, but it will not become less because of sharing."

"If the results of the past are shelved, they are no different from non-existent. It's better to be honest with others, and if you can gain friendship and other research results, it will be a good thing.

"Communication, sharing, and research, isn't this exactly the concept put forward by the Alchemy Society when it was founded?"

Bach was stunned for a moment, and also smiled slightly: "Exactly. ”

Whether it's psychological comfort or facts, Flamell's decision will not change.

That is to unite with Peak City and do its best to reach a cooperation with Nolan.

……

In the evening, Noren visited the Rocky Mines and returned to the Lord's Mansion in Flamel with the Knights' escort.

After the assassination storm in Shattered Star City ended, Bach specially sent an additional elite team of knights to the envoy group as a guard.

And the captain of this escort is actually the head of the Knights, Links.

"Your Excellency, the Knights will escort you here first."

It should have been Bach who told him something, and Links's attitude at this time was obviously better than before, "I will continue to keep you safe when I travel tomorrow." ”

"Excuse me."

Noren said goodbye to Links, and the attendants of the City Lord's Mansion on the side had already walked over, bowed and said, "Lord Nolan, Lord Bach wants to invite you to dinner, and asked me to bring you a word-

"'As a token of Flammel's apology, I have prepared a small gift for you.' ”

"Oh, a little gift?" Nolan curled the corners of his mouth, "I have to go now." ”

As the lord of Flamael, how could Bach really be a 'small' gift when he gave his hand?

After the afternoon attack, he wanted to see how much Bachken would spend to make up for the bad effects of the incident and ease relations between the two sides.

The nature of this dinner was different from yesterday's dinner, it was a separate invitation from Bach to Nolan in his personal capacity, so Nolan went to the dinner alone this time.

The banquet took place on the hundredth floor of the Flamel Tower, a private dining room specially built by Bach to meet with various dignitaries and celebrities.

After a few minutes of riding the elevator, Nolan made it to the hundredth floor.

Bach was sitting by the window of his dining table while sipping wine while looking down on the brightly lit night view of Flemmel below, as the dining room was lit up by the right amount of luminous lights.

"You're here." Bach nodded at him.

"The view is really nice."

Nolan sat down in front of him, glanced out the window, and exclaimed, "Thanks for the hospitality, this will be the most impressive dinner I've ever had." ”

"I will only invite the most noble guests here, and the last time I came here was His Royal Highness Roderick, the second prince who visited Flamel two years ago."

Bach tapped lightly on the table, and the waiter brought a fine box.

"It's ......," Nolan said, not like a dinner dish.

"This is an extraordinary elixir, a special alchemy potion that Flamel does not pass on, its refining materials are extremely rare, and the refining methods are extremely complex, so the yield is extremely low."

Bach said slowly, "At present, in the entire Roland Empire, there are only two extraordinary potions in existence, and only the most distinguished guests can receive this gift from Flammel, and now it belongs to you."

"Achieving transcendence in a mortal body is one of Flammel's proudest alchemical achievements, and I hope you can feel Flammel's sincerity to you in this little gift—

"Nolan, are you interested in becoming a transcendent?"
