Vol 4 Chapter 9: Distant visitor

In front of the gate leading to the fourth floor of the high tower, Xiuyi is carefully observing the pattern of the six-man star array on the gate.
This six-man star array is the most complicated star array that Xiuyi has ever seen, and no one knows what it does.
Xiuyi hopes to study the meaning and function of its existence.
Xiuyi didn't know how his predecessors treated this place, but he was accustomed to making plans and then moved. He had his own ideas about cracking the laboratory secrets.
Owning an Electra laboratory, Xiuyi knew much more about Electra than other alchemists. From Xiu Yi's point of view, Electra is a typical and authentic alchemy fanatic. He doesn't care about anything else, but only wants to pursue the ultimate in alchemy. Similarly, Electra is not a stingy person. Since he is willing to leave the laboratory, and even leave the devil assistant, experimental notes, Vajrayana and other works in the valley laboratory, it shows that he does not mind Let future generations learn his creation.
However, in this case, Electra still set some problems to be solved by future generations. Such as that demon rat, such as the Kaimen method on the laboratory door.
This can only explain one thing. While Elect came to leave alchemy for future generations, he also chose those who inherited these things. Those who did not pass his test were not qualified to be his laboratory heirs.
Many people may want to understand this, but they see breaking into the tower itself as a test.
Xiu Yi didn't think so.
Being dead or not is not Electra's style. There are obvious clues for future generations to query and crack. This is the style that a legendary alchemist should have.
Where is the clue?
Actually right here.
The destroyed architectural pattern is not allowed, which shows that the castle contains a large defensive array, and the castle itself is an integral part of the large array.
This is a clue.
The six-pointed star array pattern leading to the fourth floor. What does it represent? Is it related to the defense circle?
This is also a clue.
Electra left enough clues for future generations to let them do the cracking before entering the fourth floor of the tower, but apparently most people ignored these elements and chose to storm. Then the consequences will naturally only disappear from then on.
Hines apparently saw some problems, so he chose to rebuild the Hidden Castle on Purgatory Island. Perhaps he wanted to analyze the components of the large array on the architectural pattern, but he did not succeed.
Perhaps he also studied this six-horse star array, but could not 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 first test, let alone go straight to the tower.
For Xiuyi, these two clues must also be cracked, otherwise he will die if he enters!
When Xiu Yi was regretted, there was no record of this in the notes he had received about Electra. And the layout here is by far the most powerful defense system left by Electra, and its strength may be equivalent to that of the large magic circle on the Purgatory Island that trapped the magic dragon Rita.
When thinking of Demon Rita, Xiu's mind flashed a flash of light, as if something had been missed by him.
"No, there must be something missing." Xiu Yi said to himself.
In the face of this legendary alchemy, Xiu suddenly found that his brain, which had always worked, seemed to be starting to fail. Countless pieces of information about Electra flashed in his mind, and everything he left behind, technology, and all things related to him, were reproduced in his mind.
I have to say that Xiuyi is lucky, because in the current world, the only alchemist who knows most about Electra is Xiuyi. He owns three Electra notebooks, a laboratory, and knows two places that are important to Electra.
Even so, Xiu still couldn't remember what he had missed.
"What the have I forgotten ?!" Xiu Yi was anxious.
As if he was standing in front of Electra's secret door, but he couldn't find the key.
Xu rarely sees Xiu Yi, he rushes over and bites Xiu's trousers, desperately pulling Xiu Yi.
Even the flaming bird flying in the sky swooped in, landed on Xiuyi, and awakened Xiuyi's sleeping memory with a crisp tweet.
Xiu Yi looked at Xu as if she was anxious, and then looked back at the Six-Man Star Formation, and suddenly realized.
"Oh my God, Xu, this is the law circle trapping your mother! It's just smaller than the law circle on Purgatory Island, so I didn't recognize it all at once! This is a trapped beast law circle! I remembered that Electra had the habit of keeping the laboratory in Warcraft! Remember? Asahi, he used your mother to guard the portal and the monster mouse to guard the valley laboratory! "
Xiu Yi pointed one finger behind the door: "Behind this door, there must be a high-level Warcraft in it! I don't know what mechanism other than this, but just such a Warcraft is just enough Let all alchemists who break into it die! "
"Woo!" Xu whispered in horror.
Asahi felt scared from the bottom of her mother's law circle.
In that valley lab, Electra trapped the demon rats in the valley without using this method, and the dragon Rita was imprisoned by a large trapped beast circle.
From this perspective, the Warcraft that guards the tower for Electra must be far superior to the monster mouse, but it is inferior to the dragon, and it is likely to be a top-level Warcraft of eleven or twelve.
This is already equivalent to the strongest human beings except the sanctuary.
"Don't worry, Xu." Xiu Yi picked up the little guy: "As long as you don't go in, you will be fine. But I'm sure it's not the only Warcraft guard in it, otherwise people who go in won't be able to fight, at least they should Some people can escape. Since they did n’t come out, it probably means that there is still a maze inside. As soon as you step into this door, you lose your direction, so no one can escape ... no, no , Someone escaped. "
Xiu Yi suddenly remembered what the housekeeper had said.
Someone once left the tower, but he went crazy.
Why can lunatics leave?
Is it ... Xiu Yi's mind once again appears with an answer.
"It's a maze of souls!" He said almost surely.
Because only he knew that in addition to the well-known identity of the alchemist, Electra had another identity, the soul mage.
Even the Spirit Eater was discovered from Electra's relics.
In this high tower, Electra first used a castle to make an external defense array, then used the magic array that trapped the dragon Rita to trap a high-level Warcraft, and then placed a soul maze. presence.
This is Electra's most defensive laboratory that Xiuyi has ever seen. Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the laboratory itself is not secretive, but can only be strengthened to be defensive.
Even so, Xiu Yi still had a strong curiosity in his mind. He would like to know what kind of alchemy technology Electra will put in this laboratory?
After thinking about it for a while, Xiu Yi said to Xu, "I hope that there is a way to untie your mother's bondage, and I also hope to get some better alchemy. The two obstacles we know in this door, right It ’s not a problem for me. The 11th-level Warcraft is not a black warrior, and I have the confidence to deal with it. As for the soul maze, we have already run through it once and there is no suspense for the second time. The problem is that this tower Blocking the four floors. Does this mean that Electra is likely to have four dangerous organs here? What are the other two organs? We do n’t know, we ca n’t break through. So it seems we still want to You must first find a way to crack it from the outside before you can really enter it. Of course, I ’m sure it ’s not easy, but no matter how difficult it is, I believe we are closer to this secret than any alchemist who broke into it before. ... "
Speaking of this, Xiu Yi smiled: "Look, we are starting from a higher level than others, so there is no need to worry about anything, right?"
A burst of green smoke flashed, and Asahi holding Xiu re-transformed into a little boy.
The little guy was holding Xiu's neck: "Dad, can you really rescue Mom?"
"Yes, I will definitely try to rescue her." Xiu Yi answered very sincerely: "Now I don't have this ability, but maybe after opening this laboratory, I can find a way to crack that big array. "
The little guy smiled happily. He kissed Xiu Yi face fiercely, and twisted in Xiu Yi's arms.
With the ability to transform humanoids, the intelligence of the little ones continues to increase.
For him, perhaps there was no more important thing that would allow his mother to regain her freedom.
He has always been envious of Paddy Jr. because he has a mother who loves him. Many times, the little guy sees Paddy lying in Nancy's arms, giggled by her mother, and will be sour in heart, very envious and jealous.
And now, Xiu Yi gave him a promise.
Maybe it won't be long before Rita is free.
"I will not only rescue your mother, but also give your mother the ability to fly again." For some reason, Xiu Yi was suddenly extremely confident.
He believes he can definitely crack the secret here!
Because only he knows Electra best.
"We start with the defensive formation inside this castle, which is likely to be related to other institutions we have not yet discovered." Xiuyi said.
Finding a defensive formation inside the castle is quite a hassle.
One thing, you know that it exists, and it is here, and it always plays a role, but you ca n’t find where it is, which is really crazy.
There were also many alchemists who tried to start from the outside of the castle and tried the castle in various ways, but the result was no exception. As long as they dared to attack any main building part of the castle, the circle would generate an attack.
Xiu Yi had experimented with a captured World of Warcraft, instructing it to destroy a city wall somewhere.
As a result, when the thick and thick thunderbolt in the sky split down, it was a seventh-level thunderbolt magic falling straight into the air.
The Warcraft was chopped up into a ball of loquat powder, and a terrible black pit appeared on the ground.
Faced with such an attack, Xiu Yi can only smile bitterly.
The power of this defensive castle protected by Electra is too abnormal.
Super attack power, coupled with super stealth ability, Xiu Yi is almost certain that the true defense ability of this law formation itself should be very low. No magic circle is invincible, just to see if you can discover its weaknesses. So as long as the position of the French array is hidden, Xiuyi has enough confidence to easily destroy it.
In addition, Xiu Yi was very puzzled that such a powerful law formation was obviously not comparable to that of the Valley Lab's startup law formation. So, why can such a powerful legal array run for hundreds of years?
Where does its energy supply come from?
There are too many secrets about Electra. Diverse, but do not know where to start.
Xiuyi has been busy for several days in a row, but he has not been able to get a clue. Except for killing some Warcrafts and allowing the fortress servants to watch thrilling lightning strikes again and again, and working more carefully, Xiuyi has not gained anything.
It was Christine, with a new way to threaten lazy servants: "If you don't work hard, I'll take you to the wall!"
During this time, the dance organized by Buckler and Christine was about to begin.
Xiu Yi can only temporarily put his mind down and concentrate on preparing for the prom.
In addition, he had to find a solution to the problem of Count Weston.
To kill Count Weston, Hugh Iglell had to come forward. So when is this identity better?
As soon as he thought of replying to kill himself, Xiuy remembered Raschel. I don't know why, this time Xiu Yi always felt a sense of uneasiness.
Raschel's seemingly non-smiling smile scared Xiuyi's sudden heart.
Maybe it was a mistake to leave him? This is the first time Xiuyi has such an idea.
Xiu Yi has never had such a strong sense of crisis since coming to Warrington, but he does not know where the crisis comes from.
In the evening, the carriage slowly entered the suburbs of Warrington.
This is a somewhat dilapidated old-fashioned carriage, but there is a family emblem with special marks on the carriage.
The discerning person can see at a glance that the owner of the carriage is undoubtedly a downright noble.
It's not uncommon for such downcast aristocrats in Winrington.
Many of them are eager to regain the glory of their ancestors through some opportunities and opportunities.
There are also people who have worked hard to make the whole family disappear in the long river of history.
After entering the Warrington, the carriage went west along the avenue, and after passing through the bustling commercial district, came to a small hotel.
A man came out of the carriage. The man was less than forty years old and wore a blackish white dress. Although the clothes were simple, he had a good manner. He got out of the car first, then put his right arm into the compartment. An arm was stretched out and put on a man's arm, and then a lady with a skirt went out of the carriage.
From the point of view of dress and dress, the lady's clothing is very simple, but the decoration is so stylish that it should be the man's wife, but a very beautiful lady.
When the man led his wife off the carriage, he was about to reach into the carriage again, and a young girl had jumped out of it: "Oh, Dad, I don't need your help, I can come down by myself."
This makes men a little unhappy: "Julia, pay attention to your etiquette, don't lose your rules. Girls can't jump off the carriage like this, it's unsightly."
"Rules, etiquette, etiquette, these are things every day. Father, I hate etiquette, I hate them very much." The girl pursed her lips unhappy.
This annoys men, but there is nothing they can do about their daughter.
Another teenager came down on the carriage: "Julia, you shouldn't make your father angry."
"You better shut up, Tammy, there is no part of you here, I am an older sister!"
The boy pouted: "But why do people always say that you look like my sister and my mother looks like my sister?"
"Oh, they have no eyes!" The girl cried.
"Do you want to say that the mother looks old?"
"No, I don't mean that!" The girl was a little angry.
"Okay, do n’t be troubled by the children." The lady who got off the bus went up and took hold of her two children's hands. . "
"Maybe it's because my sister is jealous of you. Until now, there are still more mothers than your sisters in your pursuit." The boy answered with a funny look.
Julia looked at her brother angrily.
Even the man who got off the bus first was helpless.
Anyway, the son is telling the truth.
Although the daughter inherited the beauty of her mother, in terms of manner, the wife of a mother who is already two older children still has excellent capital to attract countless adult men.
Fortunately, his wife is very good at resisting temptation. He has never been sorry for him, but because of this, he always feels a little guilty about his wife.
"Stop saying that," the man said.
They entered the hotel.
The small hotel was very broken, and the wooden floor made a rattling sound when people stepped on it, which made people worry that one step would break a big hole.
The man came to the hotel reception and revealed his identity: "William Harden, two rooms."
"William Harden?" Hearing the name, the hotel waiter looked up at the other person and asked, "From the South Wales group of the Noz group?"
"Yes."
"Please wait a moment." The waiter quickly took out the passenger registration list and checked it, and then said, "Someone has reserved a room for you in advance."
"Yes, I know that."
"Then please sign it." The waiter pushed the passenger registration list to Baron Harden.
Baron Harden casually wrote his name on it.
"Are you here to visit Warrington? If so, we can introduce you to the best local guides." The waiter asked. This is a means by which they do business.
"No, a friend asked me for a public office here, and I will not live here long," Baron Harden replied politely.
"It must be a very good public office." The waiter casually said, he was a little disappointed.
"It's just a teacher job, but just following an Lord Marquis." The baron replied.
"Being able to follow big people is much better than ordinary public office. You must have put a lot of effort into this."
"The opposite is true, and I have not done anything to make it happen."
"It's impossible!" The waiter called.
"Someone offered to help me ... I didn't expect it to be like this. Maybe a good man has his own reward, maybe the of luck has visited the Harden family, or maybe the century-old cultivation of the Harden family has played a role. Harden joked at the waiter without losing grace.
The pair of men and women behind him and Madam Harden looked at each other, and at the same time gave a helpless sigh.
Along the way, Baron Harden almost said that he was going to Warrington, and that someone had taken the initiative to find him ... It is no wonder that for Baron Harden, this was indeed a good opportunity.
"Sometimes I'm really weird. No one likes his father has any skills, how can there be continuous good fortune." The young man sighed old-fashionedly: "First, I married a good woman like my mother, and I have a good one like us. Sons and daughters, now they still get a fat deficit. "
The beautiful lady nodded her son with her finger and chuckled, "It is forbidden to say this about his father, although he ... has nothing to do."
The baron finally returned with all the formalities.
"Well, today's a day on the road, everyone is tired, take a good rest first. Tomorrow we will visit Mr. Raschel, anyway, thank you very much this time."
On Baron Harden's gratitude list, the gentleman who brought him the gospel was named Jason Raschel.
"I don't understand why you asked Harden to come." Chaclay asked Raschel in confusion in the office of the Legal Affairs Department.
Long before the Dardanelles came to Warrington, Raschel returned to Warrington. In addition to reporting his work to the Director General of the General Administration, it was mainly because Xiu Yi announced that he would come to Warrington, which really made many people nervous.
After returning to Warrington, although the arrest of Xiuyi was still under his responsibility, Raschel's authority had been greatly reduced, and he was no longer the chief commander. For Raschel, this is not a bad thing, in fact, there is a kind of ease to offload.
According to Raschel, cats that catch mice should be very close to mice to some extent. The mouse was quiet and hidden when hiding, and the cat also acted quietly before capturing, and did not make any noise beforehand.
In the beginning, the empire did not realize this aspect. Their movements were too large, and every movement of Raschel was discovered by a large number of people, and their whereabouts were eventually leaked. Not even Raschel himself was aware of the problem.
However, as his understanding of Xiuyi gradually deepened, he finally realized this.
It's like hanging a bell around a cat's neck and letting it go out to catch mice. The difficulty is unimaginable.
Therefore, Xiu Yi can easily understand the intelligence information of the person who arrested him and make a rapid response.
But now, Raschel, who had let go of everything, had a feeling of hiding in the dark, so that his long-prepared plan could finally surface.
"To catch a mouse, you must bait first." Raschel shrugged and said, "Hugh Iglell had been a servant at Baron Harden for three years. During this time, the Baron's family was quite good to him. He even taught him to read and literate. It can be said that without the Baron's care and education for him, it would not have been possible for Hugh Iglell to have such a strong presence on Purgatory Island. In a way, Baron Harden It was his life-saving benefactor. So, if the Baron Harden family suddenly suffered a change for some reason and was put in a prison, you said ... Would Hugh Iglell find a way to save them? "
Chaclay's face changed slightly: "This idea is very poisonous, Raschel, the wounded framed a baron, you must be careful of the consequences."
"As long as it catches Huigler, the empire can bear all the losses," Rascher replied indifferently.
"Then I don't know if Shuigler will be so stupid. He jumped into the trap you prepared for him." Chakley didn't take it seriously: "I hope you can succeed."
"I will succeed, Chaclay." Raschel answered meaningfully.
After the two talked for a while, Chaclay left for a reason.
The old hound looked at Chaclay's back, with a complex look in his eyes.
He murmured, "Sometimes a bait is not necessarily a mouse."
