Chapter 9 Materials Market(1/2)
The lord's mansion of the sixth-level master Ablitz is in the Xicheng District of Xiangye City.
This place is located in the prosperous Shangmao area, and various businesses are very prosperous.
Perhaps because Ablitt is too famous, no one has dared to cause trouble in the lord's mansion for many years.
The result of offending a space-based master is usually not death, but the consequences that are more terrible than death are always lost in the endless void.
Diagonally opposite the Lord's Mansion, there is a tavern called Black Palm Bar.
At this moment, Xiu Yi sat in the Black Palm Bar and ordered a glass of black pine nuts. This is a specialty here. The taste is rich and fragrant and the aftertaste is sweet.
His nearly four years of career in Purgatory Island have kept his nerves in a state of tension. Now he finally has the opportunity to relax. Even a glass of wine can make him feel the sweetness of life.
Of course, his main purpose for coming here was not to drink.
Since this is the closest tavern to the Lord's Mansion, the warriors of the Lord's Mansion often come here to have a few drinks in their spare time.
After drinking too much, people will always say something that should not be said, and some information that should not be disclosed will be leaked as a result.
If you want to know the news about the Lord's Mansion, there is actually nothing easier to get than here.
Xiu Yi didn't even need to venture into the Lord's Mansion at night or buy a warrior. He just needed to sit quietly here and listen carefully, day after day, so he would know everything about it.
After drinking, Xiuyi would get up and leave the bar, walk around the lord's mansion, and then return to the hotel.
Clarice has been so busy that she has so much to do recently. She has to manage the team, rehearse new dramas, and help other singing troupes train singers. So she completely disappeared from Xiuyi's eyes. For Xiuyi, this was nothing more than a blessing. He thought he could devote more energy to cultivation and other things.
But it turned out he was wrong.
Even without Clarice's harassment, there were harassment from other girls in the music and dance troupe, especially Dess and Ranti.
Xiuyi, who had just returned to the hotel, was now looking at Xu with headache.
He is teaching Xu how to learn and use magic.
However, it seems that the little guy is not easy to learn. As a magic dragon born with endless magic power, Xu is like an untapped treasure house. Unfortunately, Xu's series of adventures have only improved its wisdom and potential, but cannot let it get rid of the lazy nature of the monster, which never considers how to live tomorrow, and it has no dream of studying diligently as a little genius of the magic dragon.
It would rather lie in Xiuyi's arms every day. For him, he is still at the age of being naughty, troubled, and waiting to die, and relying on his parents to live.
Such hardships in learning should not fall on yourself so early, that is called child abuse.
"Fink!" Lanti's voice sounded outside the door: "Dis and I are going to go out to buy something. But you know that it is very risky for two girls to go out to the streets. Don't you feel the need to stand up and show your chivalrous spirit at this time?"
After Lanti's scream came, Xiuyi gave up helplessly and continued to teach Xu.
He opened the door and saw Ranti and Dess dressed up at the door waiting for him.
"You want to go out to the street?" he asked.
Ranti quickly replied: "Today's rehearsal is over. Clarice is going to go to another singing and dancing troupe. We are free now. What should we do if we don't go out to the streets?"
"But I remember you just went shopping yesterday."
"Oh, women will never think they shop too much." Lanti pouted her cute little mouth.
Still Daisy hurriedly said, "There are some of the daily necessities I often use, so I asked Lanti to accompany me, and she wanted to ask you to go with me too. I think this is really disturbing you."
Daisy's voice has always been so gentle and sweet.
It is hard to imagine that these two girls with such a big difference in personality would be good friends. Daisy is like a sweet orchid blooming in the valley, with a gentle and subtle temperament, but occasionally a little naughty. Lanti is a quick talk, just like a little pepper that says whatever she thinks. She dares to pursue what she likes more than Daisy.
At least she never concealed her good feelings for Xiuyi in language. From the first time she saw Xiuyi, she decided to hold on to this little boy, and Daisy always used her eyes and shyness to represent everything.
As for Clarice, her worship of Shuyi's money was obviously better than that of himself.
Xiuyi thought for a while and nodded, "No, this is not annoying. I also plan to go on a walk on the street."
When I left the hotel, I encountered some small trouble.
A team of knights are asking the hotel owner.
The head of the knight looked very serious. After asking some questions, he glanced at the guests around him with a cold look.
Shuyi could feel the knight's captain staying on his body for a while, and then looked away after seeing the color of his hair.
The knights roared away.
"Hey, Jamie, is something happening?" the curious Ranti asked the inn owner.
"Oh, I'm here to investigate a fugitive. It seems that she is called Shuiglare. She is a murderer who killed the Imperial officials. It's hard to believe that this murderer is less than sixteen years old." The hotel owner sighed and shook his head.
"Oh, my god." Demi covered her little mouth in horror: "Are you saying that a terrible murderer has come to Xiangye City?"
"No, I didn't say that." The hotel owner replied: "This is a wanted order in the country. Every city has to issue it. No one knows where the murderer is. In my personal opinion, the possibility of that Shuiglair coming to Shanye City is zero. Oh, by the way, girls, you don't have to be so scared. Although Shuiglair is a murderer, he is not a forced/rapist."
"What does he look like?" Lanti glanced at Xiuyi, then asked quickly, and a thrilling thought suddenly rose in her heart. Damn, it's not such a coincidence, right?
The hotel owner replied: "Blonde hair, blue eyes, height... probably the same as your friends."
The hotel owner showed the portrait that was about to be posted on the wall.
Thank God, Alchemy will not invent cameras, and those who have seen their appearance will not paint either. Xiuyi noticed that the hotel owner held his portrait in his hand, but it looked very different from his appearance. In addition, the color of his hair changed, no one could confirm that he was Xiuyi Glair.
What’s important is that the painter painted him like a vicious demon!
Ranti stared at the portrait for a long time, then muttered: "He looks so ugly."
Xiu Yi had the urge to laugh.
What he wanted to laugh most was that although the Lance Empire could make a big fuss about pursuing himself, as he expected, the Empire would only frame him and not tell the truth.
If the people know that their emperor uses the lives of the people as alchemy testimonials, well, even the emperor will pay a heavy price for it.
This means a very important benefit. Except for a few informed officials, most ordinary agents will not focus their attention on an alchemist.
Therefore, the agent is destined to know almost nothing about Shuiglair except for the color and age of his hair.
Of course, this does not rule out that an experienced hunting dog is serving in secret and waiting for him to take the initiative to take the bait.
The premise is that they have to know where to ambush first.
"Let's go." Daisy held Xiuyi's arm with her jade-like hands. Lanti on the side was very dissatisfied and grabbed the other one.
Many guests cast envious glances at Xiu Yi.
When going out, the hotel owner shouted: "Try to be careful when going out. Now I'm checking tightly. I heard that the entire Versa group is stepping up the investigation."
Xiuyi stopped and turned around and asked the hotel owner: "Is this the case in the whole country?"
"Yes, but this area is the tightest. Almost all roads from Versa to Noz group were blocked. I guess our Governor must have expected that Seoiglare would be in Versa. I heard that even some high-level warriors were sent here, and I have never heard of such treatment elsewhere."
Xiu Yi twisted the corner of his mouth: "Is that right? Then they really take special care of this place."
Turn your head and leave.
The hounds of the Legal Affairs Bureau indeed found out that they were in the Versa group and had laid heavy troops on the route to Southwell.
His site was quite close to Southwell Town, but far away from Bamboo City. This led the people of the Law and Political Department toward wrong thinking and misunderstandings.
However, there was still a warning in Xiuyi's heart.
You should know that although the destination hidden by the clues you left on the teleportation array is fake, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can discover and crack.
That is both a false clue and a real test of how capable people are to track themselves.
As long as the people from the Legal Affairs Bureau are in a big way to investigate the direction leading to the Noz group, it means that the people who pursue him are indeed very capable. If Bailey had not told him how cunning the people from the Legal Affairs Bureau were and how familiar with human weaknesses, if he was not the real Shuiglare, he might have really returned to the hometown of Shuiglare. After all, for a young man who had been away from home for too long, the idea of going home after escaping such a hell is really normal.
From the memories of Seoiglare, he could not find much impression of this aunt. He could not even remember what this aunt looked like, but instead he had a very deep impression of the Baron and the Baroness.
Does this mean that in the heart of the former Shuiglare, he always tried to avoid recalling his aunt?
Xiu Yi didn't know the answer, but he knew that even now he was still affected by the emotions of Xiu Yi, and he had the desire to go home and see him.
Look at the damn aunt, look at the baron and the baron who once took good care of him.
This emotional consciousness is not strong, but it exists all the time.
For this reason, he did not hope that the people from the Law and Political Department could discover this fake clue. Not only did he mean that the other party had strong tracking and reconnaissance capabilities, but he also meant that he might not be able to return to Southwell Town in the future.
He originally hoped that he could see the people from the Legal Affairs Bureau flying around like headless flies and searching everywhere. Unfortunately, there might be many idiots in the Lance Empire, but he did not have such good luck to encounter them.
Now deploying everything behind you is definitely an old hunting dog with rich experience.
However, no matter how powerful this hunting dog is, it is impossible to know that he is already a three-type magician, it is impossible to know that Xu is, it is impossible to know that Hong and Green exist, it is impossible to know that he created the powerful Void Slash when he is just a junior mage.
If a person takes action without understanding the opponent's trump card, it usually means a crushing defeat.
What's more, Xiu Yi can add more trump cards to himself. That old hunting dog is also impossible to know how powerful an alchemist has when he truly shows his power.
In terms of magic and martial arts cultivation, Xiu Yi may still be considered a weak person, but in terms of alchemy, if you dare to say that he is better than him on the mainland today, I am afraid there will be no one else.
However, before clearly understanding the hound's background, Xiu Yi did not intend to have a head-on confrontation with the other party.
If nothing unexpected happens, they would have missed the show when they find themselves not in Southwell Town.
It was time to make some preparations, and when Xiu Yi thought of this, he suddenly said, "Lanti."
"What's the matter with Fink?"
"Do you know where the largest alchemy materials market in Xiangye City is?"
"Oh, of course, women are the most familiar with the market." Lanti replied proudly.
"So interested in going there with me?"
