Chapter 9 A Visitor from Far Away

In front of the gate leading to the fourth floor of the tower, Xiu Yi was carefully observing the six-pointed star array pattern on the gate.

This six-pointed star array was the most complex one Xiu Yi had ever seen, and no one knew what it did.

Xiu Yi hopes to study the meaning and function of its existence.

Xiu Yi didn't know how his predecessors treated this place, but he was used to planning and then acting, and he had his own ideas about cracking the secrets of the laboratory.

Having owned an Electra laboratory, Xiu Yi knew more about Electra than any other alchemist. In Xiui's opinion, Electra is a typical and authentic alchemy fanatic, who doesn't care about anything else and only wants to pursue the ultimate in alchemy. In the same way, Electra is not a stingy person, and since he is willing to leave the laboratory behind, and even leave puppet assistants, experiment notes, and Vajra puppets in the valley laboratory, it shows that he does not mind letting future generations learn his creations.

But in this case, Electra still set up some puzzles for future generations to solve. For example, the demon rat, such as the opening circle on the door of the laboratory.

This can only mean one thing, while Electra came to leave alchemy for future generations, he was also choosing those who inherited these things, and those who did not pass his test were not qualified to be the heirs of his laboratory.

Many people may be able to understand this, but they see breaking into the tower itself as a test.

Huey doesn't think so.

Death or life is not the style of Electra, there are obvious clues for future generations to inquire and crack, this is the demeanor that a legendary alchemist should have.

Where are the clues?

Actually, it's right in front of you.

The fact that the building pattern is not allowed to be destroyed indicates that the castle contains a defensive array, and that the castle itself is an integral part of the array.

Here's a clue.

What does the six-pointed star array pattern that leads to the fourth floor represent?

This is also a clue.

Electra left enough clues for future generations to crack before entering the fourth floor of the tower, but apparently the vast majority of them ignored these elements and chose to rush hard. Then the consequence can only disappear from now on.

Hines apparently saw something wrong as well, so he chose to rebuild the Fog Castle on Purgatory Island, perhaps trying to analyze the components of the Great Array in terms of architectural layout, but he didn't succeed.

Perhaps he also studied this six-pointed star circle, but he couldn't find the meaning and function of its existence.

So he didn't dare to go in, he knew that he couldn't even pass the initial test, let alone the straight tower in the back.

And for Xiuyi, these two clues are also what he must crack, otherwise he will die if he goes in!

To Huey's regret, there was no mention of Electra in the notes he had received about Electra. Moreover, the layout here is also the strongest defense system left by Electra so far, and its strength may be equivalent to the ** array on Purgatory Island that trapped the demon dragon Rita.

The thought of the demon dragon Rita suddenly flashed through Xiuyi's mind, as if something he had missed.

"No, there must be something missing. Huey muttered to himself.

In the face of this legendary alchemy, Xiu Yi suddenly found that his brain, which had always worked, seemed to be unable to function. Countless pieces of information about Electra flashed through his mind, and all the things he had left behind, the technology, all the things that had connected him, came back to his mind one by one.

I have to say that Xiu Yi is lucky, because in the current world, the only alchemist who knows the most about Electra is probably Xiu Yi. He owned three of Electra's notebooks, a laboratory, and knew two important connections to Electra.

Even so, Huey couldn't remember what he had missed.

"What the hell have I forgotten?!" Huey was a little anxious.

It was as if he was standing before cracking the secret gate of Electra, but he could not find the key.

Asahi rarely sees Xiu Yi like this, and he rushes over and bites Xiu Yi's pants and pulls Xiu Yi desperately.

Even the blazing birds flying in the sky swooped down and landed on Xiuyi, awakening Xiuyi's sleeping memories with a crisp chirp.

Xiu Yi looked at Xu in a daze, and then looked back at the six-pointed star array, and suddenly realized something in his heart.

"Oh my God, Asahi, this is the circle that trapped your mother! It's just a little smaller than the one on Purgatory Island, so I didn't recognize it at once! It's a trapped beast circle! I remember, Electra has a habit of guarding the laboratory with magical beasts! Remember? Asahi used your mother to guard the portal and the demon rat to guard the valley laboratory!"

Xiu Yi pointed to the back of the door with one hand: "Behind this door, there must be a high-level demonic beast inside! I don't know what other mechanisms there are besides this, but just such a demonic beast is enough to kill all the alchemists who trespass in!"

"Woo!" Asahi let out a terrifying whisper.

For the magic circle that trapped his mother, Asahi was scared from the bottom of his heart.

In that valley lab, Electra trapped the demon rats in the valley without using this magic town, and the demon dragon Rita was imprisoned by a large trapped beast circle.

From this point of view, the Warcraft that guards the Tower for Electra must be far superior to the Demon Rat in terms of strength, but it is inferior to the Demon Dragon, and it is likely to be a level eleven or twelve-level top-level Warcraft.

This is already equivalent to the strongest among the human race outside of the Holy Realm.

"Don't worry, Asahi. Xiu Yi picked up the little one: "As long as you don't go in, you'll be fine." However, I'm sure that it's not just the monsters guarding it, otherwise even if the people who go in can't beat it, at least some people should be able to escape. Since you have gone in and not come out, it means that there is probably a maze inside. As soon as you step through this door, you lose your direction, so no one can escape...... No, no, someone escaped. ”

Huey suddenly remembered what the butler had said.

Someone had left the Tower, but he had gone mad.

Why can a madman leave?

Don't...... An answer appeared in Huey's mind again.

"It's a soul labyrinth!" he said with almost absolute certainty.

Because only he knows, in addition to the well-known identity of an alchemist, Electra also has an identity, that is, a soul mage.

Even the Soul Eater Ring was originally discovered from the relics of Electra.

In this tower, Electra first used a castle to create an external defense circle, then used the magic circle that trapped the demon dragon Rita to trap a high-level magical beast, and then placed the existence of a soul labyrinth.

It was the most heavily fortified laboratory in Electra that Huey had ever seen. Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that the laboratory itself is not secretive, so it can only be fortified.

However, even so, a strong curiosity still rose in Xiuyi's heart, and he wanted to know what kind of alchemy technology Electra would put in this laboratory.

After thinking for a moment, Xiu Yi said to Asahi, "I hope that there will be a way to untie your mother's bonds, and I also hope to get some better alchemy. Neither of the two obstacles we know in this door is a problem for me. Eleventh-level Warcraft, even if it is not a black knight, I am confident that I can deal with it. As for the soul labyrinth, we have already broken through it once, and there will be no suspense after the second time. The question is that the tower is blocked on four floors, does that mean that Electra has four sinister traps here? What are the other two? We don't know, we can't break in. So it seems that we still have to look for a way to crack it from the outside before we can really get in. I'm sure it won't be easy, but no matter how difficult it is, I'm sure we'll all be closer to this secret than any alchemist who has ever broken into this place before......"

Speaking of this, Xiu Yi smiled: "Look, our starting point is higher than others, so there's no need to worry about anything, right?"

A burst of green smoke flashed, and Asahi, who was holding Shui, re-transformed into the appearance of a little boy.

The little guy put his arms around Xiuyi's neck: "Dad, can you really save Mommy?"

"Yes, I will definitely try to get her out. Xiu Yi replied very sincerely: "At present, I don't have this strength, but maybe after opening this laboratory, I can find a way to crack that big array." ”

The little one smiled happily, and he kissed Huey the face, snuggling into Huey's arms and writhing.

With the ability to transform into a human form, the little one's intelligence is constantly improving.

Perhaps nothing more important to him could have set his mother free.

He has always been envious of little Paddy because he has a mother who loves him. Many times, when the little one sees Paddy lying in Nancy's arms, he is amused by his mother and giggles, and his heart will be sour, envious, and jealous.

And now, Huey gave him a promise.

Maybe it won't be long before Rita is free.

"Not only do I want to rescue your mother, but I also want to give your mother the ability to fly again. For some reason, Huey was suddenly so confident.

He believed he would be able to crack the secrets!

Because he is the only one who knows Electra best.

"Let's start with the defensive array inside this castle, which is likely to be linked to other mechanisms that we haven't discovered yet. Huey said.

———————————————

Searching for the defensive arrays that exist inside the castle is quite a hassle.

It's maddening that you know it's there, it's here, and it's functioning all the time, but you can't find where it is.

There have been many alchemists who have tried to test the castle in various ways, starting from the outside of the castle, but the results are invariably - as soon as they dare to attack any part of the main structure of the castle, the circle will generate an attack.

Xiu Yi once experimented with a captured beast and instructed it to destroy a certain city wall.

As a result, when the thick and thick thunder and lightning in the sky slashed down, it was simply a seventh-level thunder and lightning magic that fell straight into the air.

The beast was cleaved into a cloud of powder, and a terrible pit appeared on the flat ground that was charred black all around.

In the face of such an attack, Xiu Yi could only smile bitterly.

The magic circle made by Electra to defend the castle from infringement is too perverted.

With its super attack power, coupled with its super stealth ability, Xiu Yi is almost certain that the real defensive ability of this magic circle itself should be very low. No circle is invincible, it's just up to you to spot its weaknesses. So as long as he finds the hidden location of the circle, Xiu Yi is sure enough to destroy it easily.

In addition, Xiu Yi was very puzzled that such a powerful magic circle was obviously not comparable to the activation circle in the valley laboratory. So how can such a powerful magic circle run for hundreds of years?

And where does its energy supply come from?

There are so many secrets about Electra. I have a lot of ideas, but I don't know where to start.

Xiu Yi was busy for several days in a row, but he couldn't figure it out, except for killing some magical beasts, so that the fortress servants witnessed the thrilling lightning strike scene again and again, and worked more carefully, Xiu Yi didn't get anything.

Christine has a new way to threaten lazy servants: "If you don't work hard, I'll hit you against the wall!"

During this time, the ball organized by Buckler, Christine, and others was about to begin.

Xiu Yi could only put his mind down for the time being and concentrate on preparing for the ball.

In addition, he has to find a way to solve the problem of Earl Weston.

To kill Earl Weston, it is necessary to Hugh Iglaire. So when is it better for this identity to come forward?

At the thought of returning to his original form to kill, Huey thought of Raschel. I don't know why, this time Xiu Yi always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Raschel's smiling face suddenly frightened Huey for no apparent reason.

Maybe it was a mistake to leave him alone? This was the first time Huey had thought that way.

Huey had never felt such a strong sense of crisis since arriving at Winlington, but he didn't know where it came from.

—————————————

In the evening, the carriage slowly entered the outskirts of Winrington.

It is a somewhat dilapidated old carriage, but it still has a special family coat of arms on it.

A discerning person can see at a glance that the owner of the carriage undoubtedly belongs to a down-and-out nobleman.

In Winlington, such down-and-out aristocrats were not uncommon.

Many of them are eager to revive the glory of their ancestors through some opportunities, some opportunities.

There are also some people who try to no avail, and eventually let the whole family disappear into the long river of history.

After the carriage entered Winlington, it followed the avenue west, and after passing through the bustling business district, came to a small inn.

A man stepped out of the carriage. The man was no more than forty years old, and wore a black gown that had been washed a little whitish, and although he was dressed simply, he had a rather graceful demeanor. He got out of the car first, then put his right arm into the car. First an arm was stretched out and placed on the man's arm, and then a lady with a skirt stepped out of the carriage.

Judging from the dress, the lady's clothing is very simple, but the decoration is very stylish, it should be the man's wife, but she is a beautiful lady with great style.

When the man led his wife out of the carriage, he was about to reach into the carriage again, when a young girl jumped out of it: "Oh, Dad, I don't need your help, I can get down by myself." ”

This made the man a little unhappy: "Julia, pay attention to your etiquette and don't lose the rules." Girls can't jump out of the carriage like that, it's unsightly. ”

"Rules, etiquette, etiquette, these things every day, Father, I hate etiquette, I hate it very much. The girl pouted in displeasure.

This annoyed the man, but there was nothing he could do about his daughter.

Another teenager got out of the carriage: "Julia, you shouldn't make your father angry. ”

"You'd better shut up, Tammy, there's no place for you to talk here, I'm my sister!"

The boy pouted: "But why do people always say that you look like my sister, and your mother looks like my sister?" ”

"Oh, that's because they have eyes!" cried the girl.

"Do you mean to say that Mother looks very old?" said the young man.

"No, that's not what I meant!" the girl was a little angry.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, kids. The lady who got out of the car earlier went up and grabbed the hands of her two children: "You two don't want to quarrel as soon as you get out of the car, I really don't understand what the sisters and brothers are so troublesome." ”

"Maybe it's because my sister is jealous of you, but until now, my mother, you still have more suitors than your sister. The boy replied wittily.

Julia looked at her brother angrily.

Even the men who got out of the car first were helpless.

Anyway, the son is telling the truth.

Although the daughter inherited her mother's beauty, in terms of manners, the wife, who is already a mother of two older children, still has an excellent capital to attract countless adult men.

Fortunately, his wife is very good at resisting temptation and has never been sorry for him, but it is precisely because of this that he always feels a little guilty about his wife.

"Don't say that again. The man said.

They entered the inn.

The inn was very broken, and the wooden floor made a gurgling sound when stepped on, making people worry that they could step through a big hole if they stepped on it.

The man came to the hotel reception and revealed his identity: "William Harden, two rooms." ”

"William Harden?" Hearing the name, the innkeeper looked up at the other party, and then asked, "From the Southwell group of the Nozzy group?"

"Yes. ”

"Wait a minute. The waiter quickly took out the passenger registration list and checked it, and then said, "Someone has booked a room for you in advance." ”

"Yes, I know. ”

"Then please sign it. The waiter pushed the passenger check-in list to Baron Harden.

Baron Harden casually wrote his name on it.

"Are you visiting Winlington, and if so, we can introduce you to some of the best local guides. The waiter asked. It's a means by which they do business.

"No, a friend has offered me a job here, and I won't stay here for long. Baron Harden replied politely.

"It must be a very good public office. The waiter said casually, he was a little disappointed.

"It's just a teacher's job, but with a marquis. The baron replied.

"Being able to follow the big guys is much better than ordinary public office. You must have put a lot of effort into it. ”

"On the contrary, I didn't make any effort for it. ”

"This can't be!" cried the waiter.

"Someone offered to help me...... I didn't expect this to be the case myself. Maybe it's because good people have their own good rewards, maybe it's the god of luck who favors the Harden family, or maybe it's the century-old cultivation of the Harden family that has played a role. Harden joked to the waiter.

Behind them, a man and a woman and Mrs. Harden looked at each other for a moment, and at the same time let out a helpless sigh.

Along the way, Baron Harden almost always said that he was going to Winrington, and someone took the initiative to find him...... It's no wonder that this is a good opportunity for Baron Harden.

"Sometimes I wonder how a man like my father, who has no ability for anything, can have a succession of good fortune. The young man let out an old-fashioned sigh: "I first married a good woman like my mother, and then I have good children like us, and now I can even get a fat difference." ”

The beautiful lady tapped her son with her finger and chuckled, "Don't say that about your father, though he ...... It's really not a good thing. ”

The baron finally came back with all the formalities.

"Okay, after a day's journey today, everyone is tired, let's have a good rest first. Tomorrow we are going to visit Mr. Raschel, and I really owe him a good thank you this time, anyway. ”

On Baron Harden's gratitude list, the gentleman who brought him the gospel was named Jason Raschel.

————————————————

"I don't understand why you're asking the Hardens to come. In the Attorney General's office, Chakra asked Raschel in confusion.

Long before the Dardanelles came to Winrington, Raschel returned to Winrington first. In addition to reporting his work to the Director General, the main reason is that Huey announced that he would come to Winrington, which really made many people nervous.

Upon his return to Winlington, although the capture of Hue was still in charge of him, Raschel's authority had been greatly reduced, and he was no longer the Supreme Commander. For Raschel, this was not a bad thing, but in fact it was a kind of relief from the burden.

In Raschel's view, the cat that catches the mouse should be very close to the mouse in some way. Rats are silent and silent when they hide, and cats also act quietly before they catch them, and do not make any movement beforehand.

In the beginning, the Empire was not aware of this, and their movements were so great that every movement of Raschel would be discovered by a large number of people, and eventually his whereabouts would be revealed. Even Raschel himself was unaware of the problem.

However, as he learned more about Huey, he finally realized it.

It's like hanging a bell around a cat's neck and letting it out to catch mice.

That's why Xiu Yi can easily learn the intelligence information of the person who captured him, and make a quick response.

And now, Raschel, who has left everything behind, has a feeling of stealth in the shadows, so that his long-prepared plan can finally surface.

"If you want to catch a mouse, you have to bait it first. Raschel shrugged his shoulders and said, "Huey Glyre once served as a servant in Baron Harden's house for three years. During this time, the Baron's family treated him quite well and even taught him to read and write. It can be said that without the care and education of the Baron's family, Huyglaire would not have been able to mix so well on Purgatory Island. In a way, Baron Harden was his savior. So, if Baron Harden's family suddenly suffered an accident for some reason and was thrown into prison, you say...... Will Huigler find a way to save them?"

Chakle's face changed slightly: "This idea is very poisonous, Raschel, slander and frame a baron, you have to be careful of the consequences." ”

"As long as Huigler can be caught, the empire can bear all the losses. Raschel replied indifferently.

"Then I wonder if Hue Igler would be so stupid as to jump into the trap you prepared for him. Chakra looked disapproving: "I hope you can succeed." ”

"I'll make it, Chakra. Raschel replied meaningfully.

After the two of them chatted for a while, Chakra excused himself and left.

The old hound looked at Chakra's back with a complicated look in his eyes.

He muttered, "Sometimes a bait doesn't have to catch just a mouse." ”
