Almighty Alchemist - v4 Chapter 12

As an aristocratic gathering of Wellington, the ball has always been an indispensable social behavior in high society.

The dance party hosted by the Dardanelle family has invited enough celebrities. This is due to the charm and appeal of Kristin and the other half to the attraction of Wuyin Castle.

Many people want to know what kind of family this is, and what kind of benefits the empire’s upper society can get from this family.

This makes the Wuyin Castle like a vortex, attracting a large number of upper class celebrities.

Today’s Wuyin Castle is dressed up luxuriously.

The woods outside the castle are full of exquisite trinkets, most of them emit a faint light, dilute the mist, and broaden the horizon for guests who enter the jungle. The road was paved with smooth stones to keep the carriage from bumping. There were even small bells hanging on the branches of the trees, which blew with the wind and made a pleasant sound.

Due to the existence of a large number of luminous jade **** in the castle, when the dusk approaches, the castle will appear soft and natural light, dilute the mist, but look more hazy and charming.

The outer wall of the castle is covered with bright silky satin, and under the bright light, the whole castle is beautifully decorated.

The head of the family, Brian Buckler, was standing in front of the door with Hoddin in a formal dress, welcoming every distinguished guest, and saying a congratulation in a mechanical tone: “Welcome your arrival. Come glorious! “

Xiuyi stood by the small window on the upper level of the castle, leisurely holding a wine glass, and watched a guest enter the castle with Christine, making the originally quiet castle gradually lively.

“Adam; Earl Burnis, under-employee of the Imperial Revenue Agency, a villain who takes his money seriously.”

“Eden; Jeffrey, Captain of the Department of Public Security, a fierce and brutal fellow.”

“Christol; Carroll, currently the Supreme Justice of the Empire, this time, the highest status guest, an old man.”

“That man is Lentino; the Marquis of Jacobs, the Supreme Chief of the Imperial Law Office, the boss of your old friend Raschel …”

Christine introduced the visitors to Xiu Yi one by one, and with Xiu Yi’s memory, he quickly remembered the names and appearances of these people in his mind and would never forget. But the next moment, Christine’s face changed slightly: “Bateson? Why is he here?”

Several aristocratic young men appeared at the gate of the castle.

One of them was tall, with a pocket watch on his chest and a sword at his waist. It was one of Christine’s ardent suitors, Bateson Barnister.

“I said, there are always some people who are not invited, and they will come forward.” Xiu Yi smiled.

“I’ll let him go.” Christine was going downstairs.

“No.” Xiu grabbed Christine. “There is no need to do that. The Dardanelles are not a stingy family. To get everyone’s approval, we must have enough measures to accommodate everything, including some of us. Unwelcome guests. “

“He will cause us trouble.” Christine’s voice was tense.

“I know what you mean, but trust me, he won’t be in trouble.” Xiu Yi confidently: “If such a loved person can also cause trouble for me, then Christine, I am still qualified What difficulties do you face? “

Looking at Bateson, Xiu Yi said: “So, he is not trouble, or he is not qualified to be trouble.”

This sentence gave Christine a sigh of relief. She knew that if Xiu Yi said so, it would be the result.

“It’s almost time, we should go down to receive the guests.” Xiu Yi turned and walked downstairs.

Over time, more and more guests, the lobby of Wuyin Castle is full of a large number of noble figures.

Well-trained servants, wearing white gloves and holding plates, wandered among many noble guests. The plates were filled with exquisite food and drinks.

A variety of fruit omnivores.

Nobles like to enjoy life. At this point, Xiu Yi is not stingy, he must make guests feel at home.

In a corner not far from the hall, Xiu noticed that Christine’s little uncle, Count Weston, was talking to several guests. Interestingly, it was Lentino who spoke to him; Marquis Jacobs .

“Hey, Cather, come here.” Count Weston greeted Xiuyi, in an old friend’s tone that he hadn’t seen in years.

Xiu came over.

“Introducing you, this is Lentino; the Marquis of Jacobs, the defender of empire security, this is the youngest and most promising heir of the Dardanelles, Cise Dardanelle.” Count Weston introduced them warmly.

Lentino; The Marquis of Jacobs is a middle-aged man with a long, thin face and a rigid expression. Such people usually have good family education, but are stubborn and have an absolute door concept. Therefore, when Earl Weston introduced Xiu Yi, he only proudly clicked his chin, and did not bother to say anything to the heirs of such an upstart family.

In his opinion, if it wasn’t for the other party to buy his own castle and there was a scene of Christine, he would not have participated in such a ball at all.

Xiu Yi came to the Marquis and politely said, “I’m very glad to see you, Lord Marquis. It is your generosity that made the Dardanelles family as soon as they arrived here, they got such a luxurious and noble residence. Thank you very much for your help. “

“You’re so kind, Master Dardanelle. The Hidden Castle is not a good place, especially for alchemists. I heard that Master Dardanelle is also an alchemist, which makes me feel sorry. Feeling. There are not many outstanding alchemists in the empire, and there are fewer alchemists with potential. Honestly, from the perspective of national interests, I don’t want you to buy this castle. “Lentino; Marquis Jacobs Say it very seriously.

This is the cultivation of nobles, and even if they look down on you, they will show their concern at the appropriate time.

Xiu Wei smiled: “If I said that I didn’t intend to explore the secrets inside the castle, then I must be deceiving you, noble Lord Marquis. But again, I don’t intend to bet with my life. , Break into a world that may make me never return. I won’t enter that dangerous place until I have a firm grasp. “

“Every entrant enters after thinking he or she can succeed. Many self-confident people often die from their self-confidence.”

“That’s right, but some self-confidence is only based on speculations in imagination, based on blind self-confidence in one’s ability, and some self-confidence, based on understanding of the target and sufficient for the target to be explored. Preparations. “

“Oh?” The Marquis apparently was intrigued: “Do you think you can find the secrets of the interior before you enter the fourth floor of that tower?”

“I don’t know if I can do it, but I will try to do it.”

“Good luck, then you are at least much more cautious than some alchemists I know, at least much more careful than the alchemists my father arranged to enter the tower.” Marquis said with emotion. He looked back at the tower: “My father invested too much manpower and material resources in that tower, and that tower is like a monster that devours human life, devouring every life that tries to reveal its secrets. Drop … “

Speaking of this, Lord Marquis sighed a little.

New guests are still coming one after another. Christine’s good friends, Viscount Humblen and Earl Bien Aitken, went to the castle to give Xiu Yi the warmest blessings. In addition, there is the dwarf Malloy, who is surrounded by a middle-aged man in a dress. There are two old friends who are very familiar with Xiu.

O’Conman Dodge of the Dodge firm and Viscount Radhur of the Bavarian family.

“Hey, Seth, my old friend, I’m so glad to see you again in Warrington!” Mr. Dodge happily extended his arms to Xiuyi and gave him a warm hug.

As for Viscount Radul, he maintained the demeanor of the family and gave Xiuyi a gentleman’s ceremony.

Compared with the enthusiasm of businessmen, the performance of nobles seemed more reserved.

But in private, both Dodge and the Bavarian family have a good opinion of Xiuyi.

Businesses with the Dardanelles have been going on for almost half a year. During this time, the Dardanelles family positioned themselves as an alchemy material processing center, rather than a direct point of sale, offsetting high material prices through the return of finished products.

In the beginning, this behavior didn’t make the other person care, but soon, the partners who did business with the Dardanelles found that the alchemy products provided by the Dardanelles, whether in terms of quality, performance or other aspects, They are much higher than similar products provided by other families or businesses in the industry.

This means that the business with the Dardanelles family has even more profit than they expected, especially small things like scout bees, which sell very well.

If you want to get the friendship of a businessman, you can never speak beautifully than do things beautifully.

The Dardanelle family delivered on time, never owed, and the high quality and low price approach was quickly praised by all the partners. Therefore, the friendship was quickly established, and the reputation of the Dardanelle family also quickly spread in the business community.

Especially recently, Xiuyi had Nancy and Lilith as helpers. In addition, there was no special planning arrangement, and he could devote himself to alchemy work, making his production speed increase greatly. They even proactively produced an additional batch of finished products, and advanced the progress of debt repayment, leaving three months left in debt, which also made them more satisfied.

No one wants debt to be owed for a long time, and early repayment is always the most popular behavior.

So after coming to Warrington this time, Xiu Yi was soon sought after by these old friends of Royo City.

After Mr. Dodge, Viscount Radul said to Xiu with a smile: “When I received your invitation, I was surprised that you came so fast. I thought you would at least be on the road for a while.”

“Passion for money makes me feel that every minute I am on the road is losing my family, and the commitment to deal with my partners forces me to rush here faster to ensure that it does not affect my business. Perform. “Xiu Yi answered with a smile.

“This is where I admire you the most, Sissy, you have the responsibility of a real man. You can assure everyone who does business with you.” Viscount Radul laughed. Then he remembered something and stepped aside, pointing at the middle-aged man next to Malloy and saying, “Oh, forgot to introduce, this is Jean; Brett, a member of the San Marino Commercial Committee.”

It turned out to be the big man of San Marino Commercial Bank. Xiu Yi knew that all the big commercial banks maintained close ties with each other. They occasionally competed, sometimes cooperated, and were very familiar with each other.

“Good to meet you, Mr. Brett,” Xiu Yi said.

“You can call me Jean, when O’Conte and Ladour talk about you, I once wondered what kind of boy this is, which can make my always proud old friend so praised. But after seeing When you were there, I finally understood. Obviously, you are a genius, a genius who can risk your life for alchemy, and perhaps only this kind of person can become the best alchemist. “Jean; Brett Speaks very decently.

They trembled for a while, and Mr. Dodge pulled Xiu aside: “Sisser, when I heard you bought the castle, I was really frightened by you.”

“I know what you are worried about, Mr. Dodge. Please rest assured that no matter what decision I make, it will not cause any loss to the family’s partners.”

“Hey, Cather, don’t say that. That’s right, businessmen are highly profitable, but the businessmen’s eyes are not just benefits. Do you think we don’t worry about the safety of your own life? Promise me, Cather, don’t take risks easily. Electra’s laboratory can’t be reached by anyone. You are still young and meaningless to bury yourself in an ethereal dream. “

This is the first time that Xiuyi has heard someone care about himself so much, but also from a business leader who has been deceived and used by him.

This moved Xiu Yi a bit.

After thinking about it, he said very seriously: “I promise you, Mr. Dodge, I won’t take risks easily.”

Mr. Dodge was relieved.

Viscount Radour also came together: “Speaking of business, what plans do the Dardanelles have for the next time?”

“Of course, first do the current business well.” Xiuyi refers to the debt he owes to the other party.

“Oh no, no, don’t worry about that,” Viscount Radul said. From the products that Xiu Yi has repaid, the major commercial bank families have made considerable profits again. In other words, the batch of materials that were sold to the Dardanelles family so far has actually recovered all the costs, and the remaining debts are all part of the profits. Viscount Radour therefore no longer rushed to repay each other’s debts, but planned for the next step in cooperation.

Many families and families have plans to further strengthen their investment in families such as the Dardanelles who have begun to build a good reputation for themselves and have proven their ability to do a good job in the alchemy business.

This is exactly one of the important purposes of Xiuyi ’s decision to establish the Dardanelles at that time, bringing enough families to their warships to form a united front.

So in the face of Viscount Radour’s question, Xiu was not surprised. He answered with a smile: “I do have a big plan on this, and we can talk about it in detail later.”

Jean of the San Marino firm; Brett also came in at the right time: “If it is a good business, the San Marino firm is very interested in investing.”

The merchants always have a keen sense of smell. The business of Dodge and Bavarian families in the city of Royo and their profits have been heard by other businesses. Jean; Brett came here in person for this purpose.

“I know you guys will never miss it.” Ocant Dodge shook his head helplessly, but he didn’t mind the intervention of San Marino, the alchemy business was no better than other voices, and the scarcity of raw materials was an important bottleneck for the development of alchemy business. The participation of enough power factions has the benefit of promoting the development of alchemy business. For major commercial banks, their only concern is whether the partners have the products they are interested in and sufficient production and processing capabilities.

Regarding the latter, the alchemist always thinks that the materials are not enough, and there is no overwhelming statement. Everyone has realized this.

Regarding the former, to be honest, the Dardanelle family needs to come up with a product that is more valuable than the Scout Bee.

Xiuyi was about to speak, and the call of the waiter came from the gate of the castle:

“Mr. Raschel, Legal Department is here!”

“Baron Harden of South Wales arrives!”

Xiu looked up in horror. At that moment, he finally saw his deep impression, as if he was a family-like person. !! ~!
