It's late at night.

Most of the passengers who returned from afar have fallen asleep.

In Christine's luxurious bedroom, Shuyi sat alone on the sofa, while Christine walked anxiously in the room.

"Shuyi, please don't ask me."

The conversation during the day ended up in an unhappy way.

Christine and Karen Weston had a big fight.

For most people, this is not a strange thing. Although everyone is trying to maintain superficial peace, in private, they are intriguing each other and wish each other dies early.

What surprised Seoyi was why when Karen mentioned the name Mizuho Castle, Christine was so scared that she looked like a mortal face. When he asked Christine, she shook her head and refused to give the answer.

This made Xiu Yi somewhat dissatisfied.

It was hard for him to imagine that when the cooperation between them had reached this point, there were still secrets that Christine needed to hide from him.

He originally thought that this secret was not suitable for public disclosure, so he came to Christine's room and met her alone to ask for an answer, but Christine still refused to answer.

"Why?" Xiu Yi asked.

"I'm for your own good." Christine begged.

For my good intentions, Xiu Yi sneered disdainfully at the corner of her mouth: "I'm sorry I don't believe what you said."

This ruthless answer surprised Christine.

"I always thought that trust is the basis of cooperation. But now I realized that I cannot really trust you. The Earl of Weston is not a person who is easy to deal with, and you did not point this to me before. You didn't even tell me that he was an alchemist. From this point of view, you are not trustworthy, but I am not angry about it, because you and me are just mutually exploiting each other. But Madam, please don't use words like "for me to be good" to describe your friendship. It will make me feel illusion that you only have feelings for me, not interests."

Christine's face became extremely ugly, and she didn't expect Xiu Yi to say such words.

For Xiuyi, feelings are feelings, and interests are interests. The two must be clearly distinguished. He does not care that there is only interest connection between each other, but he will never accept that people who only interest connections play the emotional card with him.

This is because since he came to this world, most of his emotions have been in hatred and anger, and he has received too little care. He will cherish all those who love him very much.

It is precisely because of this that he cannot accept the factors that incorporate interests into their emotions.

Christine just wanted to use his hands to settle all the troubles. Xiuyi didn't care that she was exploited by her, but at this time she told herself that she cared about him, and he felt a kind of anger of being deceived and ignored.

At this moment, Christine looked at Xiuyi blankly for a while, and finally sighed: "Yes Xiuyi, I admit that I was wrong. I should have told you everything from the beginning, but I am very worried that it will make you raise the price. Perhaps it is the essence of the merchant, I have concealed the real strength of Weston."

"You still have a chance to correct it." Xiu Yi said coldly: "In fact, even if you don't say it, I have found a way to find out. It can be seen that it is not a secret about the Mizuho Castle."

Christine's face changed drastically, and for some reason, her heart felt ache.

She gritted her teeth and said loudly: "Yes, you're right, it's not a secret. I shouldn't hide it from you. You can easily find it out as long as you want. In this case, I'll tell you now that the Misty Castle...it's the castle left by Electra."

Xiu Yi stood up.

The Mist Hidden Castle is a castle located at the edge of the Ancient Castle District in the southern suburbs of Winlington. It is located at the Hidden Moon Peak under the Lelegula Mountains and has a history of hundreds of years. Although the castle is at the foot of the mountain, it is shrouded in smoke for many years, so it is called the Mist Hidden Castle.

But Mist Hidden Castle also has another name, called Death Castle.

The origin of Death Castle is very simple.

This is the only castle left over from Electra that is well known to everyone. According to legend, Electra's laboratory is in this ancient castle.

The reason why it is just a legend is that no one has ever found Electra's laboratory here. On the contrary, everyone who tries to find this secret dies in despair.

In the past three hundred years, the Mist Hidden Castle has changed more than 70 owners, of which more than 40 are famous or non-famous alchemists of various periods. However, none of these alchemists can reveal the secrets of Mist Hidden Castle in the end. Most of the alchemists disappeared mysteriously during their residence, and never appeared again since then. A small number of them died bizarrely and died for various reasons.

The Mist Hidden Castle has become the Castle of Death, and the owners here have changed one after another. As long as the alchemist enters this castle, almost no one can survive a year. On the contrary, some ordinary people who are not alchemists can live here for a long time. But even ordinary people do not mean they are safe. A small number of ordinary people disappear into this castle from then on.

Therefore, the Mist Hidden Castle eventually became a forbidden place for people to die.

According to legend, when the Rose Monarch established the capital here, he had the intention to uncover the secret of the Mist Hidden Castle. As a result, he sent twenty of the most famous alchemists at that time to explore there at one time. Three days later, only one person walked out of the castle alive.

He has gone crazy.

Christine told the story at this moment, and Xiu Yi was stunned.

There was indeed a significant mark on the map about Electra, which was in Winlington. The reason why Shuyi agreed to come here with the intention of finding this laboratory was to find it. But he did not expect that he would not have to look for it this time because it was there, in front of everyone's eyes, but no one could open it.

Almost everyone believes that there must be a laboratory left by Electra in the Mist Castle, but in the same way, it may be near, but far away in the sky, even more difficult than finding other laboratories in the vague and vague places.

After getting the answer provided by Christine, Xiuyi lowered her head and thought for a while before asking in a low voice: "Since that's the case, why don't you want to tell me at first?"

Christine's expression became more and more sad, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes: "The reputation of Death Castle has been spread not for a year or two, but for hundreds of years. But why have the alchemists always been there for hundreds of years? Why is the reputation of Death Castle only getting bigger and bigger? Why do people still have to die one after another even though they know that they cannot fight against the alchemy left by the legendary alchemist?"

Xiu Yi was slightly stunned.

Christine has already said: "Because there is a fatal attraction for any alchemist."

Yes, fatal attraction. For alchemists, Electra's laboratory is like a huge treasure of knowledge. Anyone who gets a little bit is enough to become the world's top alchemist.

Just like the Dardanelles family, it can be favored by countless business families by relying on the production technology of scout bees alone.

In this magical world, a top alchemy can indeed be exchanged for unimaginable wealth.

What Xiu Yi has is a collection of countless knowledge. It’s just that he lacks enough strength and time to transform this knowledge into power and wealth, but for the Lance Empire, everything is very different. If Xiu Yiglair falls into their hands, with the technology in his hands, it may be possible to help the empire achieve a century-long leap. Therefore, even if Xiu Yiglair is difficult to deal with, the empire will still try its best to catch him. The same reason is the same as that is a fatal attraction.

Therefore, although the Mist Hidden Castle is the forbidden place for alchemists to die, the alchemists rushed in one by one, trying to uncover the secrets and make a fortune in one fell swoop. For Xiuyi, becoming a fortune may not be his pursuit, but his fanatical love for alchemy made him not avoid such challenges.

There are many traps in this world, which do not rely on secrets, but on confusion to win.

Christine understood Xiuyi so much, so she was unwilling to tell the origin of the Mizuho Castle. She was afraid that once she told her, Xiuyi would buy the castle immediately, and then rushed into the death trap without hesitation.

At this moment, Xiu Yi was a little dumbfounded about Christine's answer.

What he was stunned by was not the bizarreness of the castle, not the Earl of Weston who could actually restrain his greed desire for the laboratory, not whether he could unravel the castle's secret and find another laboratory in the legendary Electra, but... Christine's concern for him.

After biting his lower lip, Xiuyi asked softly: "Why should we care so much about me? Isn't we only have a relationship of interests? If you are worried about my mission, I can help you kill Karen Weston first, and then explore the castle."

"Because..." Christine opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Xiuyi looked at her seriously. For some reason, Christine's heart was turbulent. She finally made up her mind and came to Xiuyi and sat down.

She took Xiuyi's hand, placed his hand on her face, and then whispered softly: "Because I fell in love with you, Xiuyi."

It was like a thunderbolt, hitting Xiu Yi's heart hard.

"Do you still remember your first meeting at Lanya Theater..." Christine's words sounded leisurely, bringing the time between the two back to their first meeting.

For Christine, she could never forget the scene when she first met Xiu Yi. The cold, proud, and wise boy started killing in her own way at the Lanya Theater. Even if she killed someone, she showed his unique elegance.

Christine has never seen a wanted fugitive who can fight back like crazy, but she is so calm.

He defeated her suitor in front of him, but he disdained her inquiry of her name, making her unable to get out of the crowd.

He looked at himself with contempt and ignorance.

This made her very annoyed, because no one could have treated her like this before. Even the Earl of Weston, who had always wanted to seize her property, had not taken any ruthless action against her, partly because she was lucky to gain both money and sex.

Christine could not tolerate such failure, so she told her suitors that I would marry whoever could get the head of Shuiglare. She thought that it was the best magic weapon to defeat this young man, but she did not expect that they would meet again in Royo City.

Christine thought she would be scared, but she didn't expect that she would feel excited when she saw Xiu Yi for the first time. Of course, Christine had not fallen in love with Xiu Yi at this time, so in the negotiations with Xiu Yi, she refused to give in and fought for her own interests, and at the same time concealed Weston's true strength.

However, after that, Shuyi's big pursuit of offensive not only made the entire city of Royo crazy, but even Christine was shocked. The flowers all over the hotel, the beautiful birds flying in the sky and the frozen fountain flowers each caused a huge impact on Christine's heart.

A woman's heart is beautiful, and romantic means are the best way to impress women. Xiu Yi's imagination-filled means are only for outsiders to see, but the impact on Christine is profound and huge.

Many times, Christine would repeatedly think when she was lying on the bed, if there was such a young man who pursued himself with this method before she got married, then she would probably not be called the Countess of Weston.

However, the young man who can use these many ways of pursuing his heart is not really in himself. On the contrary, one side is bright, romantic, and gentle, while the other side is cruel, cold, and murderous.

It was like a combination of an angel and a demon, full of fatal confusion, which made Christine gradually fascinated by him in contact with Xiuyi and could not extricate herself.

Although she repeatedly told herself that she and Xiu Yi were just a combination of interests and a relationship that was mutually exploited, her feelings were never dominated by reason, so that later on, Christine had to think about Xiu Yi almost every day before she could fall asleep.

But the woman said nothing, but just fulfilled her duties and protected the identity of the Dardanell family. On the surface, she had no feelings for Xiu Yi, but was full of contradictions in her heart.

So when Hambren said that today, Christine said half-truely that he entered my heart, and she used false acting to cover up her true emotions. At this moment, lies and truth are perfectly integrated into one.

Christine originally thought that she could continue to deceive herself like this, but the arrival of the Earl of Weston and the appearance of the name of the Mist Hidden Castle made Christine panic.

At this moment, she finally realized that she could not lose Xiuyi.

From utilization to love, this is a gradual process, but everything is so natural that Christine cannot avoid it, nor can she avoid it anymore.

Christine didn't know that she had passed a test by accident.

Earl of Weston is a very cautious person. The reason he told Shuyi Wu Hidden Castle was because he doubted whether the Dardanelles family was invited by Christine to deal with his helper. The Weston family made a guarantee for the Dardanelles family and made the Dardanelles buy 60% of the materials for Royo for one tenth of the price. In his opinion, Christine was not a person who could be so generous. So he wanted to know whether Christine made a decision because she fell in love with the heir of the family. If that was the case, he could rest assured, but if not, then he had to be careful, because there might be some secret collusion in this.

It must be said that Earl of Weston has a comprehensive idea and is quite smart. However, Christine's performance just shows that she really fell in love with Cisser Daldaniel and accidentally deceived the other party. This was something that no one expected.

At this moment, Xiu Yi let out a long sigh, after Christine revealed her heart.

Suddenly, he felt that there was another burden in his heart.

If possible, he would rather let each other maintain their previous mutual exploitation relationship, at least in terms of emotional weight.

On the contrary, Christine felt much better.

She completely put herself in Xiuyi's arms and buried herself in Xiuyi's arms.

She grabbed Xiuyi's hand and said, "You will go, are you?"

Xiu Yi smiled bitterly.

He could not deceive or hide the other party in this matter, so he could only nod.

"Yes, I will buy that castle and make it a base for the Dardanelles family. Since the castle is only dangerous to the alchemist, at least I only need to worry about my own safety."
