Chapter 9 Material Market

The Lord's Mansion of the Sixth-level Archmage Ablit is in the Xicheng District of Xiangye City.

It is located in a prosperous commercial area, and all kinds of business are very prosperous.

Perhaps because of Ablite's fame, for many years, no one dared to cause trouble in the area of the Lord's Palace.

The result of offending a space archmage is usually not death, but something more terrible than deathβ€”lost in the endless void forever.

Diagonally across from the Lord's Palace, there is a tavern called the Black Palm Bar.

At this moment, Xiu Yi sat at the Black Palm Bar and asked for a glass of black pine nut, which is a specialty here, with a rich flavor and a sweet aftertaste.

Nearly four years of life on Purgatory Island have always made his nerves in a state of collapse, and now he finally has a chance to relax, even a glass of wine can make him feel the sweetness of life.

Of course, the main purpose of his coming here was not to drink.

Since this is the closest tavern to the Lord's Palace, the samurai of the Lord's Mansion often come here for a few drinks in their spare time.

After people drink too much, there will always be some things that should not be said, and some information that should not be revealed will be leaked because of this.

If you want to know about the Lord's Palace, there is really no easier way to get it than here.

Xiui didn't even need to venture into the lord's mansion at night, he didn't need to buy a samurai, he just needed to sit here quietly and listen carefully, day after day, and it wouldn't be long before he would know everything about the place.

After drinking, Huey would get up and leave the bar, take a walk around the Lord's Palace, and then return to the inn.

Clarice has been busy lately, and she has so much to do, managing a team, rehearsing new plays, and helping other cabarets train singers. So she completely disappeared from Xiuyi's eyes, and for Xiuyi, it was nothing less than a boon - he thought he could devote more energy to cultivation and other things.

But it turned out that he was wrong.

Even without Clarice's harassment, there was harassment from the other girls in the cabaret, especially Daisy and Lanti.

Xiui, who had just returned to the hotel, was looking at Asahi with a headache at the moment.

He's teaching Asahi how to learn and use magic.

However, it seems that the little guy is not easy to learn, and as a demon dragon born with endless magical powers, Asahi is like an untapped treasure trove. It's a pity that Asahi's series of adventures have only enhanced its wisdom and potential, but it can't get rid of the lazy nature of Warcraft that never thinks about how to live tomorrow's days - it has no dream of studying early to become a little genius of the Demon Dragon.

It prefers to sleep in Huey's arms every day. For him, he is still at the age of being naughty, mischievous, eating and waiting for death, and living on his parents.

Learning this kind of drudgery should not fall on you so early, that is called child abuse.

"Fink!" Ranti's voice rang out outside the door, "Daisy and I are going out on the street to buy something." But you know that it's a risky thing for two girls to go out on the streets, don't you feel the need to show your chivalry at this time?"

After Lan Ti's cry came, Xiu Yi reluctantly gave up continuing to teach Asahi .

He opened the door and saw Lan Ti and Daisy dressed up at the door, waiting for him.

"You're going out into the streets?" he asked.

Lan Ti quickly replied: "Today's rehearsal is over, Clarice is going to another song and dance troupe, and we are free now." What are you doing on the streets?"

"But I remember you just went shopping yesterday. ”

"Oh, women never shop too much. Ranti pursed her cute little mouth.

Daisy was still busy and said: "It's that some of the daily necessities I usually use are not enough, I asked Lan Ti to accompany me, and she wants to ask you to go with me." I think that's bothering you too much. ”

Daisy's voice has always been so gentle and sweet.

It's hard to imagine that these two girls with such different personalities could be good friends. Daisy is like an orchid blooming in the hollow valley, with a soft and reserved temperament, but occasionally a little naughty. Lan Ti is a quick talker, like a little pepper who can say whatever she wants, and she dares to pursue what she likes more than Daisy.

At least she never hid her liking for Huey in her words, and from the first time she saw Huey, she decided to hold on to the little boy, and Daisy always represented everything with her eyes and shyness.

As for Clarice, her worship of Huey's money is clearly greater than that of him.

Xiu Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "No, it's not a bother, it just so happens that I'm going to go for a walk on the street." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When I got out of the hotel, I encountered a little trouble.

A group of knights is questioning the innkeeper.

The chief knight at the head of the group looked very serious, and after asking some questions, he swept the surrounding guests with a cold look.

Huey could feel the knight chief linger on his body for a moment, and only looked away again after looking at the color of his hair.

The knights roared away.

"Hey, Jamie, what's going on?" asked the innkeeper in a curious manner.

"Oh, I'm here to track down a fugitive, like something called Hue Igler, a murderer who killed an important member of the Empire. It's hard to believe that this murderer is not yet sixteen years old. The innkeeper sighed and shook his head.

"Oh my God. Demi covered her mouth in horror: "You mean there's a terrible murderer in Ribbon City?"

"No, I didn't say that. The innkeeper replied, "This is a national wanted warrant, issued in every city, and no one knows where the murderer is." In my personal opinion, the chances of that Hue Igler coming to Leafy City are zero. Oh, girls, don't be so afraid, that Huyglaire is a murderer, but he's not a rapist. ”

"What does he look like?" Lan Ti glanced at Xiuyi, and then asked quickly, a hairy thought suddenly rose in her heart, damn it, it can't be such a coincidence, right?

The innkeeper replied, "Blonde hair, blue eyes, height...... Probably about the same as your friends. ”

The innkeeper showed the portrait that was about to be pasted on the wall.

Thankfully, alchemy doesn't invent cameras, and people who have seen their own faces don't paint either. Huey noticed that the innkeeper was holding a portrait of himself in his hand, but it looked very different from his own appearance, and due to the change in hair color, no one could confirm that he was Hue Gliel.

The important thing is that the artist painted him like a fierce god!

Lan Ti stared at the portrait for a long time, and then muttered, "He looks so ugly." ”

Huey felt the urge to laugh.

What he wanted to laugh at the most was that although the Lance Empire could make a big splash in the pursuit of himself, as he expected, the Empire would only give him another false accusation, and would not tell the truth.

If the people know that their emperor used the lives of the people to make alchemy experiments, well, even if he is the emperor, he will have to pay a heavy price for it.

This means a very important benefit, except for a few officials who know about it, the vast majority of ordinary agents will not focus on an alchemist.

As a result, the agent is destined to know almost nothing about Huyglaire, except for the color and age of his hair.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that an experienced hound is secretly servicing, waiting for him to take the bait.

The premise is that they know where to ambush first.

"Let's go. Daisy wrapped her arms around Huey's with her jade onion hand, and Lan Ti on one side was not convinced and grabbed the other.

Many of the guests gave Xiu Yi envious looks.

When he went out, the innkeeper shouted: "Try to be careful when you go out, now the investigation is tight, I heard that the whole Versaila group is stepping up the investigation." ”

Hue stopped, turned back and asked the innkeeper, "Is this the case all over the country?"

"Yes, but this area is the tightest, and almost all roads from Versaila to Noz are blocked. I guess our Governor must have expected that Huigler to be in Versa, and I've heard that even some high-ranking samurai have been sent here, but I haven't heard of such treatment anywhere else. ”

The corners of Xiuyi's mouth twitched, "Really, then they really take special care of this place." ”

Turn around and leave.

Sure enough, the hounds of the Department of Justice discovered that they had landed in the Versaila herd, and they had laid a heavy force on the route to the town of Southville.

His foothold is quite close to Southwell Town, but far away from Cella City. This led the people of the Legal Affairs Department to the wrong way of thinking.

However, there were still alarm signs in Xiuyi's heart.

You must know that although the hidden destination of the clues you left on the teleportation circle is fake, it is by no means something that ordinary people can discover and crack.

That's both a false clue and a real temptationβ€”a test of the abilities of those who track you.

As long as the Attorney General's office made a big search in the direction leading to the Nozz group, it meant that the people who pursued him were indeed very capable - if Bailey had not told him how cunning and familiar the Attorney General's people were, and how well they knew the weakness of the human heart, if he was not really Huy Glare, he might have to really return to his former hometown. After all, for a teenager who has been away from home for too long, the idea of returning home after escaping such hell is too normal.

From Huy Igler's memory, he could not find much of an impression about this aunt. He couldn't even remember what this aunt looked like, but he was extremely impressed by the baron and the baroness.

Does this mean that in the mind of the former Hue Egler, he always tried to avoid remembering his aunt?

Xiu Yi didn't know the answer, but he knew that even his current self was affected by the emotions of the former Xiu Yi, and he had a desire to go home and see.

Look at that damn aunt, look at the baron and the baroness who used to take care of him.

This emotional awareness is not strong, but it is always there.

Because of this, he didn't want the people from the Legal Affairs Department to discover this false clue - discovering the false clue not only meant that the other party had a strong tracking and reconnaissance ability, but also meant that he might not be able to return to Southwie Town in the future.

He had hoped that he would see the people of the Legal Administration flying around like headless flies, looking around, but unfortunately, there may be no shortage of fools in the Reims Empire, but he was not so lucky.

Now deploying everything to chase behind his back is definitely a veteran hound with a lot of experience.

However, no matter how powerful this hound is, it is impossible for him to know that he is already a three-line magician, it is impossible to know the existence of Asahi, it is impossible to know the existence of red and green, and it is impossible to know that he has created a powerful Void Slash by himself when he is still only a junior mage.

If a person doesn't know their opponent's hole cards and makes a move, it usually means a fiasco.

What's more, Xiu Yi can add more hole cards to himself, and the old hound can't know how powerful an alchemist has when he is truly powerful.

In terms of magic and martial arts cultivation, Xiu Yi may still only be considered weak, but in terms of alchemy, there are no one in the mainland today who dares to say that they are stronger than him.

However, until he has a clear understanding of the details of the hound, Xiu Yi does not intend to go head-to-head with the other party.

If nothing else, they should have missed out on the show if they rushed back here when they found out they weren't in Southwil.

It's time to make some preparations, thinking of this, Xiu Yi suddenly said, "Lan Ti." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know where the largest alchemy material market in Fragrant Leaf City is?"

"Oh, of course, women are the most familiar with the market. Ranti replied proudly.

"Would you like to come with me for a walk there?"

"You can go wherever you want. "Lan Ti has never hidden her fascination with Xiui, and in her opinion, this boy is the best gift that the gods have given them. He was smart, polite, and handsome, and it would be a pity to miss it.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Although Purgatory Island is a laboratory secretly established by the Reims Empire and is the center of the alchemy of the entire country, this does not mean that it has all the resources in the country. Purgatory Island is home to some extinct species, on the contrary, some common species are rare, mainly transported by the Liberty.

So even if Xiu Yi wanted to make something, he would need to go to the alchemy market to find some cheap materials that his ring couldn't possibly carry. And he also wants to use as little as possible from the ring. After all, those things were so precious, and until he found a safe place to grow all the seeds in the ring, he used a little less of those materials.

However, when he came to the alchemy material market in Xiangye City, Xiu Yi regretfully found that he had seriously miscalculated the situation.

He didn't expect that a batch of materials that he thought were worthless and deliberately left to confuse the detective's sight would be a rare good product here.

When he saw these things being delivered by ships of ships every month, he thought that the price should not be too outrageous. But they ignore that this is the transmission of the power of a country. Scattered all over the country, its ownership is actually pitifully small, and its price is also rising.

Some treacherous merchants would even replace rare materials with ordinary plants or other items that were disdained on Purgatory Island in the first place.

As for the materials in the Huey ring, they simply don't even exist as fakes, and people think they're long gone.

In this case, Xiu Yi can only sigh, just afraid that the reason why these things are so difficult to see, Purgatory Island is also one of the culprits. The Lance Empire claims to support Purgatory Island with the strength of the whole country, and it is not empty words, he eats shark fin every day until he feels it, but when he walks into the world, he finds that even fish and meat are frighteningly expensive, and his psychological state is really a little uncomfortable for a while.

He had planned to make a few powerful offensive items for himself, but as things stood out, it would be a bit difficult to complete the plan - even the best alchemist would not be able to make the most clever magic circles out of clay.

While he was pondering, there was a conversation between two people not far away.

That conversation immediately caught his attention.

After listening for a moment, the corners of Xiuy's mouth twitched slightly, and he realized that he had a good idea.
