Huey's promise made it much easier for all the family representatives and businessmen.

Although there is still a lack of understanding of the details of the Dardanelles, what does it matter? There are thousands of families in the empire, and no one knows when a powerful family will suddenly emerge. It doesn't matter who the other person is, what background they have, what they do. The important thing is that the other party has made it clear that they have enough digestive capacity to devour the spilled cargo. Of course, this does not mean that they will not inquire into the details of the other party, but it does mean that as long as the other party shows enough strength, then everything is easy to say.

The next negotiation was therefore friendly and harmonious.

"Oh, so the Dardanelles used to trade at sea, and what made you decide to join the alchemy industry?" asked the question, Viscount Radur.

Xiu Yi politely replied: "To be exact, my family is not in the trade, in fact we have been doing a special kind of business since my grandfather...... Well, what should I say?" Xiu Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "I think you all know that there are many risks at sea, except for those man-made disasters like pirates, the biggest disasters are natural disasters, including unpredictable weather, terrible wind and waves, and huge and terrifying sea monsters. Every year, a large number of merchant ships are wrecked at sea for a variety of reasons. ”

"Yes, because of this, the price of all goods coming from other big 6s is always several times higher. Mr. Dodge said. This time, they bought a batch of rather rare materials from Dongda 6, which was intended to be sold to the empire for a good price, but as a result, they saw that the empire reduced the purchase volume, and there was a great risk that they would be smashed in their hands.

Xiu Yi smiled: "Yes, everyone knows that maritime trade is profiteering, and piracy is a business, but in fact, people don't know that there is another business, which is actually profiteering, and it is also a business. ”

"Oh? Sounds interesting, is it about a shipwreck?"

"That's right. Huey replied in the affirmative. He looked around for a moment, and noticed that everyone, even some of the bored ladies, began to notice that the topic of his talk was always easy to attract the attention of others.

Xiu Yi said slowly: "Salvage the sunken ship." ”

"Salvage a shipwreck?" exclaimed all the nobles.

Someone shouted, "This is incredible." How is it possible for you to salvage a wreck from the bottom of the sea?"

"Exactly, it's not the salvage of the wreck, but the salvage of the treasure from the wreck. You know, they sank to the bottom of the sea and never saw the light of day again. And we, our job is to salvage the treasures that have sunk to the bottom of the sea for various reasons. You know, every ship is loaded with a lot of wealth, and if you can fish out one, you can make a fortune. It was Hording who said this.

"Oh my God!" the nobles snapped into each other's mouths.

Someone said, "I've never heard of a business like this." Isn't there a monster in the sea? And the ocean is so deep, how can you get down?"

Xiu Yi smiled, "That's the secret of wealth." The pressure in the sea, as well as the supply of air, can be solved by the water mages to create magic shields, and all we need is some people who are good swimmers. The biggest problem is not actually the pressure of the sea, but the monsters in the sea and how to determine the location of the wreck. Only a professional knows how to search for treasure in the water without alarming the terrible giants, and of course, only a professional can quickly determine the location of the wreck and any other dangers it may pose...... In fact, there are a lot of complexities involved, and my family has been in the industry for more than 100 years. We salvaged more than 40 shipwrecks until last year. ”

"Last year?" several family representatives looked at each other. "What happened last year?"

"We ended this adventure last year because my father, along with one of my uncles, died in a salvage operation at sea...... "Huey replied with a sad face. "Yes, I'm guessing you've already guessed what's going on. "Last summer, my family found a shipwreck laden with gold and spices, as well as a large amount of rare ore. They tried to bring up the treasure from the ship, but unfortunately, they ran into an undersea rapid. The rapids toppled our boat and lifted us to the bottom of the ocean, where we met an octopus giant creature the size of an entire Silent Island hotel. Despite its name, it actually has dozens of thick tube-like tentacles, each with a mouth the size of a man's head...... It bit almost everyone to death, and two of its tentacles entangled my father and my third uncle. By the time the guy spat them out, all that was left was bones. ”

"Oh my God, it's horrible. Several noble ladies covered their mouths and exclaimed.

"What a tragedy. ”

Xiu Yi continued his sensational performance, and it has to be said that the four years of acting on Purgatory Island have greatly honed his acting skills, at least in terms of acting, Hotin believes that this teenager has no weaker talent and talent than himself. "My second uncle was the only one who escaped that disaster, and my mother died of grief. After that, we realized that no matter how experienced a sailor is, if he walks on the brink of danger all year round, he will one day face such a thing. In fact, in the 100-year history of the family's salvage of shipwrecks, such things have happened more than once. But it wasn't until last year that my second uncle decided to give up the family business and lead us to start a new business. Since then, here we are. For the same reason, my second uncle was depressed from then on, he no longer saw a smile on his face, and he didn't even want to communicate with people more. Even on an occasion as important as today, he just showed up and went back. And I, due to the burden of the family, can only step into the social circle early, trying how to do business and how to manage the family. Fortunately, my uncle left me a very good butler, and Clementine was a very capable man, and everything was due to him.

"It has been a lifelong privilege to serve the Dardanelles family. Hording said humbly.

Huey's humble words and rich knowledge quickly won the favor of everyone, and in fact, at his current age, it was indeed a rare thing to be able to talk like this.

"And what made you decide to be in the materials business?" asked one of the nobles.

"Oh, it's thanks to our luck. Ever since my parents died, we used to think that all the good fortune of the Dardanelles had run out, but the truth is that we soon had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We inadvertently saved a shipwrecked alchemist, a man of extraordinary talent. He was very grateful for our help, so he taught me all the alchemy he knew. ”

"Oh, could it be that the alchemist of the Dardanelles family is you?"

Xiu Yi thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, that's me." ”

"It's amazing. ”

The aristocrats began to exchange words. Xiu Yi knew what they were thinking, and it was no secret that Xiu Yiglare was an alchemist since the Lanya Grand Theater.

Now, no boy in his age or about sixteen would dare to claim to be an alchemist, because that was the clearest goal for the Department of Justice and Justice. But for Huey, this is the most important hurdle he needs to get through - in the days to come, he must rely on his alchemy to prove himself to the world, and at the same time gain the support of enough people. So it is impossible for him to hide his professional identity.

If sooner or later the identity is going to be revealed, it is better to be exposed now than to be exposed again when you are under siege.

Putting all the dangers at the beginning and treating it as a huge challenge can at least avoid the regret of falling short even if you fail at first.

And at this moment, when Xiu Yi revealed his identity as an alchemist, he really made everyone's hearts beat drums.

Everyone remembered the name Hue Igler.

remembered his crazy killing show at the Lanya Grand Theater.

According to Huey's previous introduction, there is no doubt that the Dardanelles have a family with huge pockets, and they have enough money to buy the goods here. But when the target involves a terrible murderer, everyone becomes cautious.

But Huey wasn't worried.

It's not too difficult to convince people that Siseda Daniel is not Huey Glare, but it's important that it is done smoothly and naturally. If you rush to explain, it will increase everyone's suspicion. Most importantly, he knew that these would-be people who wanted to do business with him would do everything they could to prove and believe that they weren't Huey Glare. As Hording said, in the face of great interests, many people prefer to believe what they desire to believe.

So they will definitely find out on their own.

Sure enough, someone asked Xiui.

"Since you said you are an alchemist, what aspect of alchemy do you have more confidence in?"

Huey replied, "Actually, I don't have much to be good at. My mentor didn't teach me much and left, I didn't even know what his name was. For now, I'm good at making small gadgets, which aren't very powerful, but they also have some irreplaceable value. ”

"For example?" someone asked.

Huey pulls out a scout bee: "Like this." ”

"What's that?" a number of people watched curiously.

"A small thing for reconnaissance, it can fly freely, and the vision collected can be reflected through this crystal ball. And it can also receive orders from its owner to do some simple search work. Xiu Yi took out another crystal ball and introduced it to everyone.

"That's amazing. God, I've never heard of anyone like this before. Several material dealers and family representatives whispered to each other. After seeing the scout bee, a representative of the family immediately chatted with the people around him. The nobles began to whisper, and then they looked at the same person, the lieutenant of Royo City, Mr. Bradstreet.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Master Dardanelle. I have something to do for a moment. The clerk's lieutenant apologized to Xiuyi.

"Please. Huey replied politely.

Watching the clerk's adjutant leave the venue in a hurry.

A satisfied smile appeared on Huey's face. He knew he must have gone to find out if Huy Glaire had such a vision.

The city lord of Royo City, who is the transit place for the material transaction, is the person who is most likely to know the secrets of Purgatory Island, after all, most of the materials that are transported to Purgatory Island every year are purchased from him. This clerk's lieutenant will definitely ask his master about Ming on Purgatory Island.

Now Xiui only hopes that this Lord of Royo City knows as much as possible.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know, because Xiui has other opportunities and ways to prove himself.

The lieutenant seemed to have some way to contact the lord of the castle, and in fact he was back soon.

The nobles whispered to the clerk and aide-de-camp, apparently asking for each other's opinions. Judging by the smiles on their faces, the Adjutant Clerk had given them an answer that satisfied them - a very positive reply came from the Lord of Royo City, there had never been such a thing in the technology that the empire had gained and lost.

The nobles quickly smiled warmly when they got the news.

You know, if the Scout Bee is as good as Xiu Yi says, then there is no doubt that it is a very promising alchemy. I believe that many people will be interested in it, including even the imperial family - this kind of thing is used on the battlefield and will be a very effective reconnaissance weapon, which can allow the emperor to greatly reduce the possibility of being ambushed by the enemy.

"This little thing you know is very interesting, maybe we can talk about it. I mean, it shouldn't be a huge cost to make, right?" Mr. Dodge asked Huey.

"Yes, but its technology is valuable. Xiu replied proudly, "I'm sure it will sell for a good price." ”

"So......" Mr. Dodge thought for a moment, and said to Xiuyi, "I wonder if Master Dardanelle will have time to come to the house at noon tomorrow? You know that we are one of the largest trading houses in the country, and we have absolute economic power. If the Dardanelles family wants to make a difference in their business with alchemical products, Dodge Comptoir can provide excellent service for you and your family. ”

Mr. Dodge handed Huey his business card.

"It is a great honor to receive your invitation, and I will definitely visit you in person tomorrow at noon. Huey skillfully accepted the business card.

"And my ......"

"And my ......"

A group of nobles and merchants handed Xiui their business cards, whether it was the Dardanelles' upcoming material acquisition or their unique alchemy technology, which made the merchants realize that they had encountered a rare opportunity, and no one wanted to let go of such an opportunity.

Huey and Hodding were busy accepting invitations, business cards, and exchanged glances with each other.

That look meant that everything went well, and it was a great success!

After accepting a series of invitations, as the punctual bell rang out, a group of people outside strode to the venue. At the forefront was a man dressed in an aristocratic dress, with a big square face and a full beard.

There was no doubt that the man was Earl Brooks.

The person who appeared next to him was a middle-aged gentleman who looked very shrewd but had a rather humble posture. Xiu Yi estimated that this person was likely to be the general manager of the Silent Island Hotel, and it was impossible for the Southern family not to send someone to attend and make a statement in person on such an occasion.

The next one came up, but it surprised Xiuyi.

It turned out to be her, Countess Christine!

Huey could clearly see that the moment the Countess walked into the hall, her eyes lingered on her body, revealing a look of horror at her.

Damn, she recognized me!
