Early the next morning, the town of Robinia.

Brian Buckler stared at the level of Gaphni the *rat on his desk.

"Hell, Huygliel, I assure you with my head that we would never know there would be such a thing in that place. We have been there twice but never encountered it. ”

"Maybe it's because you've been there for too short, or maybe it's not there at the time, but you're lucky. Of course, my luck wasn't too bad. Huey used his smiling face to prove to Buckler that he didn't take it to heart.

This left Buckler a little confused:

"How did you kill it?"

"It doesn't matter. The important thing is that according to the deal, you should have pointed me to a secret and safe place, but the truth is that you almost killed me. Buckler, you owe me a favor. ”

Buckler nodded.

Being able to take out Gaffney made Buckler realize that the boy in front of him was even stronger than he had imagined. He did not intend to be an enemy of such an opponent, and no fool would easily make a feud everywhere.

"And what kind of compensation do you need?"

"Two things. First, let Hording continue to ** Leiler them. I'm going to take them away in the future, and I need them to be gentlemen as soon as possible. ”

"That's fine. ”

Huey handed a list to Buckler's side: "The second thing is, let your people go outside and help me find these things, the sooner the better." Of course, I will pay for the material money. ”

Buckler glanced at the list and almost jumped out of his chair in fright: "The amount of goods is too large, Huy Igler, what do you want to do?"

"The needs of war. Huey replied with ease, and as he said he stood up and bowed gentlemanly to Buckler: "If nothing else, this list will attract people from the Legal and Political Affairs Bureau, so you'd better arrange for people who won't be distressed even if they lose to do this." ”

"Huey Gliel, I warn you. Robinia is home to all of us, and I don't want to turn it into a battlefield. If you want to take revenge on the Lance Empire, that's your business, don't get us involved. ”

"If you can assure me that you will give me all the information about the person who is chasing me before the people from the Department of Justice and Justice chase this clue." Then I can also assure you that the war will be born outside of Robinia Town, and that you and your people will rest easy and will not have any trouble. You just have to do what I tell your men. ”

"How can I keep the hand of the Legal Affairs Department from reaching my town?"

"I heard that on the twentieth of next month, on the occasion of the New Year, it will be the time of the annual Ancient Shelf Materials Trading Conference?"

"That's right. ”

"Let your people let the wind out, and say that the people who buy the materials will participate. ”

"The Department of Justice will not believe this lie. ”

"No, they'll believe it. ”

"Why?"

"Because I really want to go. Huey stared coldly at Brian Buckler, his eyes full of determination, confidence, and strong conviction.

Buckler nodded, "I see, I hope that hound chasing you believes you as you expected." So...... How do I notify you if something arrives?"

Huey pulled out a small black crystal ball from his pocket and placed it in front of Buckler: "Use this thing to communicate with me, a great communication tool." If you can help me get things done, I can send you a few. ”

"Ten, I want ten. ”

"No problem. Xiu Yi nodded: "But the materials are out of you." ”

"Deal. Buckler glanced at the head of the rat, and he gritted his teeth in agreement.

According to the agreement, Buckler promised to deliver the materials on the list to Xiui within ten days. After completing the deal, Hue bought some ready-made materials in the town before returning to the Secret Valley.

For the sake of safety, before returning to the secret valley, he specially checked the surroundings again, and once again had dozens of surveillance eyes.

In the laboratory of Electra, all kinds of alchemy equipment are complete. To Electra himself, this may be just one of his many labs. But for Xiu Yi, if nothing else, this will become his most important alchemy base in the future. Because of the attention, the approach adopted is naturally more different. In addition to a large number of surveillance eyes to observe the surroundings, Xiu Yi also arranged two large magic circles and several mechanisms at the entrance to the secret valley.

Anyone who tries to sneak into the valley without his permission will inevitably lead to alarms and traps.

When conditions permit, Xiu Yi doesn't mind turning this place into a bucket.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Xiu Yi built a small cabin in the open space outside, disguised as a laboratory, and sorted out a vegetable patch. This makes it look like a retreat for some otherworldly high-ranking person. It would have taken a lot of effort just to reach this retreat, and no one would have thought that there was a passage to the secret valley beneath this retreat.

After all this was done, Huey finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Xiu Yi himself knows that no one has appeared in this valley for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for him to be revealed by others as soon as he comes. But the many years of life on Purgatory Island have developed his habit of being cautious and planning before acting. If he is asked to take no precautions in his most important logistics base, his heart will always feel unstable.

After all of this was done, and the seeds in the ring were sown, Huey finally turned his attention back to the work at hand.

The newly discovered Electra notebook contains details of the Vajra Golem's crafting process, as well as several special items that have aroused Huey's interest.

He quickly threw himself into selfless work.

"A bottle of dissolving liquid. Sitting in the flying whirlwind, Xiu Yi was busy doing his experiments, and the puppet assistant Six, Soon, brought him a bottle of dissolving liquid.

Xiu Yi took it casually, poured the dissolved liquid onto a piece of metal that had been synthesized, and began to work on the other side as it gradually melted.

"A piece of turquoise. He continued to call. Six brought him a piece of turquoise again.

Xiu Yi took the turquoise and was about to crush it, but the alchemy crucible next to it was almost finished.

Xiu Yi hurriedly threw the turquoise aside and dealt with the problem of the potion first.

By the time this side was dealt with, Huey regretted to find that the dissolved metal block on the other end had passed its cooldown time - it was scrapped.

Xiui looked at the cooled metal block, and finally threw it to the ground in anger and screamed. "I still can't run multiple experiments at the same time!Six, are you sure that Electra can run five experiments at once?"

"Yes, great hosts. In order to make his work more efficient, my former master had to conduct at least five experiments at a time. That's why he made it clear that the Flying Chair and the Ring Table were designed to reach the maximum area in the shortest possible distance. The puppet assistant explained to Xiui in a puzzled way.

In fact, even without Six's explanation, Huey knew it was true.

Otherwise, no alchemist would have set up his laboratory in this way.

Sitting on the chair that Electra once sat on, imagining the legendary great alchemist constantly changing his position in the high movement, his fast-moving hands flashing like shadows, and completing one alchemy experiment after another in his hands, Xiu Yi couldn't help but want to learn the way the great alchemist worked. But it turned out that he simply couldn't calculate every step of his actions so precisely.

Conducting multiple experiments at the same time requires seamless timing and coordination, not only to be fast enough, but also to know what to do when and when, and if his movements are slowed down by a second or two, it is likely that all his efforts will be wasted. Unless there was a computer that accurately programmed each of his action commands, he couldn't do that.

A computer? The thought suddenly flashed through Huey's mind, could it be that Electra was also a time-traveler? And with some computer chip that could be transplanted into his brain?

That's why he understands the King Kong puppet like the Terminator 2 form?

He then laughed bitterly at his own idea, no, it was impossible!

"Well, I really don't understand how Electra did it. I'm already scrambling with just three experiments at the same time, but he can do more experiments at the same time. ”

Xiu Yi complained a little helplessly.

"My former master never seemed to think it was a difficult job. Again, Six's answer was rigid and scenic.

Hui sighed, "Now I'm finally convinced why Electra complained in his notes that your wisdom was still not enough, and finally gave up on you. Because you're not smart enough. A smart person would never say that the old master was capable in front of the new master. ”

"Yes, my new master. ”

"It's enough to call me master, you don't have to call me new master, as for your former master, you can call him by his name directly. ”

"Yes, new owner. ”

β€œ......”

Huey finally decided to give up working on multiple jobs for the time being.

Instead of multitasking at the same time, Xiu Yi's efficiency has improved a lot.

He decided to make a puppet bee first.

The puppet bee is a scouting gadget in Electra's third notebook.

Although Xiu Yi already has two methods to monitor the perimeter, the Wind Warbler and the Eye of Surveillance, it has to be admitted that both methods have their own flaws. The Windwarbler is effective most of the time, but its magic level is too low to hide from the eyes of a magician.

The Surveillance Eye can only detect a fixed area, and cannot collect information from multiple angles. It was this limitation of the Eye of Surveillance that Huey used to kill Pierre right under Hines's nose.

For a fugitive, counterattacking is always the last option, and the ability to obtain information and have the ability to escape is the most important ability in the first place.

Therefore, Xiu Yi chose to make a Scout Bee first.

This type of bee is not difficult to make, and due to its small size, less material is consumed.

It only took half a day for Xiu Yi to finish making a puppet bee.

Trying to get the puppet bee out, Huey saw a picture of the crystal ball moving around the screen, which was clearly much better than the Eye of Surveillance. And because it looks like a bee, it doesn't care at all even if it's seen.

It's just that this kind of scout bee is difficult to observe a large area with only one or two, and Xiu Yi calculated that it would take at least four or five days to make thirty of these scout bees.

The problem is that there is something else to be made. A Vajra puppet would take at least twenty days to complete. In other words, even if his plan is successfully executed, he will only have one Vajra puppet at most. Coupled with the Vajra puppet left behind by Electra, who wanted to resist the Imperial Hound that came to hunt him with only two puppets, Huygliel was not so naΓ―ve.

The King Kong puppet is not a terminator in the true sense of the word, if it is crushed, it is a real **, and it will not be automatically restored.

It doesn't have immortal powers, it's just strong enough to shapeshift.

So how can you improve your productivity?

The thought of this problem gives him a headache.

At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: since Electra had been conducting his alchemy experiments alone, how did he build his puppet army in such a short period of time?

Think about the huge body of the Troll God, Hines was able to build this big guy in the first place, but he said that a complete Troll God, from the beginning of the construction to the final completion, it will take at least three months.

This is still based on the strength of the entire Purgatory Island.

And how did Electra create an entire army of troll gods and other puppets with the power of one person?

Huey is keenly aware that there are too many secrets about Electra. This legendary great alchemist is inhuman, both in terms of experimentation and manufacturing productivity.

Just as he sighed, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the laboratory.

Enemies are coming!

On the screen of the crystal ball, the image of Lilith is reflected.

Although the woman carefully walked through the holly forest and crouched in the shadows of the forest when she came to the clearing, to Xiuy, the woman's whereabouts were still more striking than the monsters that roamed the streets.

With some curiosity, he instructed the scout bee to approach the woman, advancing the scene to less than a meter away from the woman, carefully observing the woman's appearance.

The curves of the woman's face were a little stiff, the tip of her nose was slightly dripping with beads of sweat, and the "firmness" in her eyes flashed in her eyes, which Xiu Yi had never seen in any woman. This is a woman full of ** beauty, just like a leopard monster in the jungle, with wild power all over her body.

She is always habitually crouching, her back slightly bent, and the center of gravity of her whole body is a little lower as a result.

Huey remembered that Pagit had taught him that there were many warriors in this world who were not really warriors, but who were equally powerful. Their strength comes not only from their own strength, but also from their extraordinary fighting skills.

Huey was immediately sure that this woman was definitely not a simple shooter as she appeared. An archer should not lurk in this leopard-like walking pattern. This stance is more suitable for sudden approaching and hand-to-hand combat with opponents.

This shows that she is definitely a good melee fighter!

Those who don't know her, after seeing the longbow she carries, are afraid that they will suffer a big loss if they try to fight her in close combat.

After thinking about it, Huey commanded the Scout Bee to circle behind Lilith. The leather outfit wraps the woman's buttocks tightly, revealing a plump and delicate curve. From the side, that's the perfect S-shape.

A woman who can make a man give birth to **, Xiu Yi thought.

For Lilith's snooping, Xiu Yi was actually quite annoyed in his heart.

No one likes their secret to be revealed, especially when it is likely to be related to their lives. Hue decided to teach the woman a lesson.

Lilith obviously didn't know what kind of crisis Huey's actions had brought to Huey, but she would soon learn what a terrible thing it was to make Huey Glare angry.

She was cautiously approaching an open field. It looks like it's quiet there, and Huey Glerle doesn't seem to be there.

She was in confusion when a cold voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Are you looking for me?"

Lilith looked back in shock, a vicious punch hitting her lower abdomen. The force was so great that she involuntarily bent down.

The back of the head was slashed by Xiu Yi.

The woman rolled her eyes and fainted.

Fighting Lilith, Thuy followed the spatial passage from which she had come back to the lab.

Xiu Yixian, the Scout Bee has at least one more benefit: it helps him with spatial positioning, which allows his Void Slash to break through the limitation of teleporting to the eye as far as the eye can see.

When Lilith awoke from her coma, she found herself in a secret room, her hands tightly bound by a special rope.

Surrounded by exotic tools and equipment, Huyglare sat at a round table and was busy.

Seeing Lilith wake up, Hue stopped what she was doing.

"I'm sorry for taking you to my lab in such an impolite way, but considering that you also broke into my territory in an impolite manner, I believe my actions were perfectly justified in self-defense. Huey said as he stepped out of the flying chair and made his way to Lilith's side.

"This is our territory. Lilith roared angrily.

"Once, I bought them with forty bottles of top-grade potions. Of course, for robbers, there may not be such an act as buying and selling, but you should learn to recognize and respect the facts that have already been born. ”

Lilith was silent.

Hue said, sitting down in front of Lilith, "Tell me, why did you sneak into my place? What makes you think I'm going to cause trouble for Locust Town?Isn't everyone here a person who is not tolerated by the Empire?Why does having me make you so nervous?How much do you know about me?"

Lilith glared at him fiercely.

"You'd better answer me. Xiu Yi said coldly: "You know that this question is not too much. ”

Perhaps recognizing the reality, Lilith said: "The official report of the Empire says that Huy Glare is a murderer, and you killed an important person in the Empire, and at the same time killed the space ** master Abulit. But according to the information I have gotten, apart from the fact that the killing of Abrite is a fact, everything else is a lie. There is another reason why you are wanted by the Empire, and the order from the Empire is to capture you alive at any cost. That is, you are not like all of us. ”

"So where did you get the information, and what do you know?"

Lilith sneered: "Do you know why the Lance Empire has been helpless against the bandits in the Pelas Mountains for so many years?"

Xiu Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect Lilith to ask him this question. He thought for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, it's because the Bilas Mountains are big enough, two large mountain ranges, and a big forest, and the bandits have too many places to hide. In addition, there are a large number of natives here, some orcs and elves. Although their numbers are small, they are very combative. ”

"No matter how strong it is, can it be stronger than the power of the empire?"

Xiu Yi pouted slightly: "Of course not, then what do you mean......"

"It's because of the Frank Empire. ”

Xiui immediately understood. Sure enough, Lilith said:

"Over the years, no one knows why the military power of the Reims Empire has grown so quickly, dealing a major blow to their neighbor Frank. The mountains of Bilas are very close to the border, and many times we are the first to know about the news from the front. There are even convoys of supplies passing by, and we always grabs them unceremoniously. For the Franc Empire, the preservation of the chaos in the Bilas Mountains was a political weakening for the Reims Empire. Therefore, whenever the Reims Empire tried to exterminate us on a large scale, the Frank Empire would intervene in time. On several occasions, the Reims Empire even sent Sky Samurai to surround them, but as a result, they were also ambushed by high-ranking samurai from the Franconian Empire. ”

"So you have a partnership with the Frank Empire?"

"No, we don't cooperate. The Francks want to use us, and that's in their own interests. As much as the Francks wanted us to be a force of resistance to the Empire, we were not going to die for other countries, so we refused. In this case, there is a limit to how much the Francks can help us, but this does not prevent us from establishing a communication channel with each other. Because they can learn about the military movements of the Reims Empire through us. Generally speaking, once the Reims Empire was going to take a large-scale military operation against the Francks, it would first send someone to clear the Bilas Mountains to ensure that they added a few more logistics and transportation routes. After all, the logistical supply that came out of the Versaila group, went close. Therefore, the Franks need us to stay alive and get information about the military movements of the Empire. The country's military intelligence information has always been provided unilaterally and confirmed through multiple channels. We are one of those channels. And for us, we don't mind borrowing their hands to protect ourselves. ”

"I see, but what does it have to do with me?"

Lilith smiled coldly: "It has a lot to do with it, because not long ago, the Frank Empire sent someone to contact me. They want me to provide you with news and offer a hundred thousand gold wit to find you. ”

Huey was taken aback, the Frank Empire had found him?

Sure enough, Lilith said, "They say that Huy Glair is an important figure in the Frank Empire. As soon as we find you, we will pay us this money immediately. Of course, they also promise you that if you are willing to join the Frankish Empire, you will immediately receive a marquis, and their monarch will also set aside a city as your domain! Do you still want to tell me that you are no different from us?"

Huey was silent.

There is no doubt that the Frank Empire already knows about Purgatory Island.

The destruction of Purgatory Island and his own escape caused a panic in the Lance Empire, although the Lance Empire kept secrets repeatedly, but in order to capture himself, some secrets could not be hidden after all. After all, the hounds can't just act blindly without even knowing who they're trying to capture. And with the destruction of Purgatory Island, the secrecy value of this place is also decreasing, coupled with the frenzied search for Xiu Yiglaire everywhere, it is inevitable that some news will leak out, and the number of people who know the existence of Purgatory Island can only increase in this situation. Frank should have some high-level agents in the Reims Empire, so he got this information, even if the information was not detailed, at least he already knew that Huy Glaire was of great value.

It is logical that the Reims Empire wants to capture itself, and the Frank Empire also wants to get it, and perhaps the Georgian Empire and some other countries also want to fish in troubled waters.

The entire big 6 pattern, even because of his own escape, and there has been subtle turmoil, and now it has just begun, maybe there is no problem, but as time goes by, everything is difficult to say.

"The Great War...... I'm afraid it's going to explode in advance. Xiu Yi said suddenly.

Lilith didn't understand why Huey said this, but Huey was already sure that if he couldn't catch himself in a short time, the Reims Empire would definitely provoke a full-scale war immediately.

They had to be prepared for the possibility of Huey's escape to other countries, and it would be wisest to turn that advantage into victory at once, taking advantage of the technological advantage they had. Otherwise, if Xiu Igler runs away to other countries, it will bring them disastrous consequences.

This made Xiu Yi a little helpless.

Because this means that the Lance Empire will no longer put its hope on the future demon spirit army, but immediately use the existing strength to fight for victory, and it also means that even if Xiu Yi reveals the poison against the demon spirit in the future, it will not be able to change the fact that the Lance Empire is very likely to quickly unify the big 6.

Xiu Yi looked back at Lilith, "So you judged me to be worth a lot, and you wanted to capture me and give it to the Frank Empire?" No, no, if that were the case, you would have informed Buckler about it. And if Buckler knew that my value was 100,000 Kingwitt, he would definitely re-offer the price, or simply turn around and try to arrest me. But he didn't do it, which means you didn't tell him about it...... So your goal is not to arrest me, but to kill me, right?"

Lilith was stunned, she didn't expect Xiuyi's reaction to be so agile, she nodded: "From a small point of view, cooperating with you may attract the attack of the emperor's ** team, and from a big point of view, whether it is the Lance Empire destroying Frank or Frank entering our territory, it is not what we want to see." I don't want your presence to cause any unrest for Villas. For us, maintaining the status quo is the best option. If I didn't know why you were valuable, at least now I do. An alchemist...... I'm guessing you must have some kind of game-changing Ming. ”

I didn't expect this woman to be very knowledgeable, and after thinking about it, Xiu Yi nodded and replied, "Actually...... More than one. ”

For Huey, the solicitation of the Frank Empire was simply unappealing.

The fact that if he wants to live a life of aristocratic luxury, he can do it now.

He was absolutely sure that as long as he sent a letter to Stricker VI and then negotiated terms with the other party, Stricker VI would definitely treat him on higher terms than Frank. After all, only Strick VI knew how much alchemy Huyglier possessed and how great the impact it had on the empire. As for the specific details, it is not necessarily known to the Frankish Empire.

He could even ask to marry Avril.

But he had no interest in doing so.

Since coming out of the labyrinth of souls, he has already made it clear what he wants and what he is willing to give up for it. He didn't care about the pursuit of the Reims Empire, and even had some expectations. Just as he would not take revenge on the country, he was eager to vent his resentment over years of captivity by giving his pursuers some ferocious blows.

However, the intervention of the Frank Empire made Xiu Yi vaguely feel that he was still underestimating his own value.

Maybe it's time to put that to good use, he thought.

The young man's mind was completely absorbed by the picture of his own ideas for the future, and one plan after another came to his mind, sifting, choosing, adding, sorting, etc., etc., etc., and he was so engrossed in thinking about the problem that he ignored the small movements of the captives in front of him.

"What are you going to do with me?" asked Lilith suddenly.

"I haven't figured it out yet. Xiu Yi said casually.

"I've got you covered. ”

"What?" said Huey.

"You die, I live. The woman's voice was cold and unusual.

Xiuyi's scalp tightened suddenly, and he instinctively jumped behind him, and at the same time, a dagger snake stabbed Xiu Yi into his lower abdomen.
