After sending off the last guest, the Fog Hidden Castle finally returned to its former tranquility.
The dance is over, and all the busyness is over.
Tonight, Xiu Yi was a little out of the limelight, and he also got to know many famous and noble ladies.
However, it is still too far to say which one he likes.
For the Dardanelles family, the road to high society was long and arduous, and it was impossible to get a big deal out of it at once, only step by step.
On the contrary, it was Raschel who came uninvited, and brought the Harden family with him.
What does this mean?
He was still suspicious of Huey.
The thought of this Xiu Yi couldn't help but have a little headache.
How do you deal with this cautious, suspicious and secretive old fox?
"Still thinking about Raschel?"
Christine, who was in front of the castle gates, saw at a glance what Huey was thinking.
Xiu Yi smiled wryly: "I think I'm underestimating him a little now, I'm thinking about how to deal with this guy." ”
Buckler hummed, "I don't think you need to think much about it. Huey, you're too used to outwitting your opponents. This may have something to do with your long-term experience of living on Purgatory Island, so that when facing enemies, you always treat yourself as a weaker one. But you forgot one thing, you're no longer the little servant you used to be. You're already a strong man. ”
Is Xiu Yi already a strong man?
"Yes. Buckler affirmed: "No matter what means you use, it is a good way to defeat your opponent." You killed two Sky Warriors in one battle, and that's enough to prove your strength. So a lot of times when you think about things, you might as well think about it from a different perspective. You are a bit rash with someone like Raschel, why do you have to deal with him for a long time? I have no objection to playing games if you want to. But if you play with fire, you will burn yourself. Raschel is approaching you, and if you continue like this, you will be violent sooner or later* All your hard work will be in vain. Now is not the way it used to be, the Dardanelles are on their way to success. If you don't take decisive steps to avoid losses, what are the consequences...... You know what it should be. ”
Xiu Yi's heart was shocked: "What do you mean ......"
"There is one of the oldest and most effective ways to deal with opponents. It can be used on Raschel, or it can be used on that Earl Weston. Sharp knife...... You can cut through the mess. Buckler said gloomily.
Huey was silent.
He thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "You're right, Brian, I'm too relaxed on this issue. So do as you say, find the right time and the right place. Huey Glerle will appear in time. Kill Raschel and kill Weston. ”
Buckler smiled with satisfaction: "That's the best thing about you, you always get good advice. ”
"Thank you, Brian. ”
"You're welcome. ”
A few people casually chatted about the plan of action behind it. Christine was a non-force party and was not interested in this aspect, so she went back to her room early. Buckler decided to send a few people to find out the rules of the target's life and actions first, and then let Huey take action in his true form.
After talking about it, Buckler also returned to his residence.
Huey stood alone in front of the castle gate, looking at the tall castle, and his mood was a little agitated for a while.
Once again, he remembered the hard times of the past.
He shook his head slightly, leaving all the bad memories behind, and was about to go back to the room, but the corner of his eye swept something.
Xiu Yi's heart was shocked.
In front of the castle gates, the two statues of the four-winged beast sat there silently, motionless. But just as Xiu was trying to enter the castle, he saw that one of the statues was overflowing with a strange aura - the breath of magic.
How can a stone statue have magic fluctuations?
The only answer is...... Alchemy.
Hue turned around in a whirlwind and walked over to the statue.
At this point, the mana fluctuations have disappeared.
Xiu Yi circled around the statue, unable to find any source of magical power, no trace of the existence of any mechanism, and no existence of circle scales.
But Xiu Yi knew that what he had just felt in this book was by no means his own delusion.
The only explanation is that the circle is inside the statue.
But how can you touch the circle without destroying the statue? you can't break it without touching the inner part of the circle.
And what the hell is going on with the magic fluctuation just now? It can't just appear out of nowhere for no reason.
Everything has a reason, why is one of the two statues anomalous and the other fine?
Huey thought about it repeatedly.
He suddenly remembered that this statue was the same one he had used in his previous duel with Bateson.
Could it be that the previous hits inadvertently touched something?
Huey used all his brain power to desperately recall the scene of his battle with Bateson. His brain is like a motor in full swing, desperately trying to figure out every detail. From the beginning of Batesson's attack on him to his final defeat, Bateson never dared to destroy the statue.
When Bateson falls off the statue in the memory, Huey's eyes suddenly light up.
"Bateson was injured and I saw him bleeding, although it was only bruises. Huey almost screamed. Then he stared at the statue and looked closely: "But why is there no blood on the statue? I saw with my own eyes a few drops of blood falling on it." ”
He searched carefully, although it was already dark, but for Xiuyi, who had cultivated to the fifth level of martial arts, the light was enough.
He was pretty sure there wasn't the slightest trace of blood on the statue.
Xiu Yi didn't hesitate to stretch out his arm and casually slash his hand on it, cutting through the unprotected skin, and blood gushed on the statue.
This time, Huey clearly saw that the blood had fallen on the statue and was still on it at first.
But gradually the color is getting darker and darker.
After about an hour, the blood was gone, and a wave of magic was heard from the statue again.
This time, the mana fluctuations were more pronounced than before.
"I see......" Huey somewhat understood.
Xiu Yi, who had visited the library before, knew that in the alchemy that had been lost a long time ago, there was a kind of magic circle called the Blood Sacrifice Array.
The Blood Sacrifice Array does not use the traditional energy hedron as the power source, but uses blood as the power core. It's a bit like bloodline spells that require blood sacrifices to be cast.
Xiu Yi was almost certain that the circle hidden in the statue must be a blood sacrifice circle, and it was because of this that the vision just appeared earlier. For the Blood Sacrifice Array, blood is the source of energy, and the Blood Sacrifice Array will instinctively absorb blood, so the blood that falls on the statue will gradually be absorbed.
What Thui couldn't figure out was how Electra managed to put this circle inside the statue. Moreover, even the Blood Sacrifice Circle could not support hundreds of years of consumption. So Electra must have other auxiliary arrangements.
Regardless, the secret of the statue finally gave a glimmer of light to Xiuy's research into the castle.
People are not afraid of a difficult future, but they are afraid that there is no direction under their feet.
No matter how difficult the road is, as long as there is a direction, it can always be completed. Xiu Yi had already made up his mind to crack the statue's secrets before entering the tower again. If you can't even do this, entering the tower can only be a death move.
So how can you open this statue that can't be attacked, and break the blood sacrifice circle?
Huey fell into deep thought.
———————————
The days that followed seemed monotonous and dull.
Xiu Yi plunged headlong into the understanding and research of the Blood Sacrifice Circle.
The statue's plan to kill Raschel was delayed for the time being. Of course, this also has to do with the caution of Raschel himself. The old guy had been getting erratic since he was at the prom. Unless it's office hours, most of the time even Chakra doesn't know where he is.
During this time, the Dardanelles family had successfully met some people at the ball, so they would occasionally receive some aristocratic ball invitations, mainly for Sisserdar Danelles, and most of the organizers were down-and-out nobles.
Although the Dardanelles family seems to be quite rich, and the little heir looks smart and handsome, the nature of the tyrant still makes most wealthy families look down on them.
After the defeat of the Bateson duel, the Banister family did not move, but no one knew when trouble would come to the door.
However, the Dodge Comptoir, the Bavarian family, and the San Marino comptoir were frequent visitors to Xiui during this time. The main purpose of their visit was the issue of the industrialization of alchemy raised by Xiu Yi at the previous ball. To accomplish this, it is necessary to have alchemical products that meet the requirements and alchemy that can be learned and applied by most ordinary people. Although Xiu Yi had been studying the Blood Sacrifice Circle, he still tried to find time to meet with these business dignitaries.
Xiu Yi took out several alchemy products that he had made earlier, and then explained the specific production methods to everyone, and did an interview in front of everyone. After reading it, several business leaders discussed it and believed that there was indeed a basis for mass production. Moreover, the requirements for materials for this product are not high, and the use of rare materials is not high.
So they decided to make a small investment first, find a plot of land in Winrington, build a large alchemy production base, and then recruit some workers to be in charge of Xiuyi. Xiuyi holds the technology to account for one and a half percent, and then everyone jointly invests in the proportion of shares according to the capital.
This division is quite good for Xiu Yi, after all, the technology he came up with is not a top-level alchemy product, but just some alchemy products that cannot be mass-produced but are quite practical with new quantifiable processing methods. It's like the Edison bright light Ford Ming assembly line. For the heads of the commercial banks, the assembly line technology is not responsible, but the people in the bright assembly line are undoubtedly capable, have potential, and are worth investing in. What's more, Huy Egler is both an excellent businessman and an excellent alchemist, and maybe he can accomplish both the new product and the popularization of the new product at the same time.
A product like this is big if there is only one trading house.
Of course, they don't think that this kind of product will appear quickly, but they have to take a long-term view when doing business. But several business bigwigs, including Mr. Dodge, never thought that Huey would surprise them so quickly.
