Vol 4 Chapter 14: Prom (3)

For alchemists, goblins have always been their most important combat tool.
Even Electra, the sacred mage of the year, his capital of the world is his legion of puppets, not his personal combat power.
However, for each alchemist, how to own a puppet army is a great difficulty.
The hard work of the Elan Empire for many years now has nothing more than an army of puppets of about 10,000.
Among them, the biggest key that restricts the number of puppets is human and material resources.
Xiu Yi once did a basic operation.
If you want to build a Vajrayana Corps with a population of tens of thousands, you will need to consume the total value of all the materials in the whole country within one year of the Lance Empire. In addition, you need to use a large number of manpower of more than 1,000 people.
This is clearly an impossible plan.
Even in the Purgatory Island project, the Lance Empire failed to make such a large-scale investment. After all, there are still many daily fields that still need the support of alchemy.
So how can we let ourselves have such a legion? Xiu does not know how Electra did it, but Xiu has his own method.
This is another important significance of the existence of the Dardanelles.
Through the industrialization process of alchemy as described above, an alchemy factory is openly established, and then the production is magnificent.
Through huge profit grabs and the use of market behavior to publicly purchase a large amount of materials, not only facing the Lance Empire, but also facing other countries outside the Empire, and at the same time recruiting a large number of workers for secret production.
Secret production is obviously the most basic requirement of any alchemy. No one would hope that their own method of alchemy production was leaked out. Xiuyi has enough reasons to do so. The workers will carry out production in accordance with the assembly line method established by Xiu Yi. They only need to know what they should do, but they will not know what they do and what effect they have.
Some of these processed finished products will be assembled into the products needed to capture profits and flow to the market, and some will be handed to Xiu Yi's secret laboratory through Xiu Yi's hands, and then processed and composed to form King Kong.
To this end, Xiu Yi hesitated to take out metal extract as part of his investment.
This metal extract was created and invented by Electra at the beginning, and it is also one of the main materials for making the undead monster and Vajra. Xiuyi will give part of the produced metal extraction liquid to the market and return part of it for its own use.
As the destined person in charge of the future alchemy factory, Xiuyi has too many opportunities to indulge all these things as he wants.
Of course, the consequence of all these actions is that the profit of the factory will be greatly reduced, but it doesn't matter, Xiuyi is well prepared for this. For example, the cost of a reconnaissance bee was only five Jinweit. After the improvement of Xiuyi, the cost of cutting materials and production technology was reduced, the minimum cost may only need two Jinweit. When the reconnaissance bee is mass-produced, the price will be reduced to thirty Kingwitts, and sales will increase tenfold. And Xiu promised to the other party a half profit, which means that he has a lot of benefits from it, and he doesn't have to worry about anyone finding it. And after those businesses get enough profits, it is impossible to ask Xiuyi to provide a production method for mass production, otherwise Xiuyi has the right to terminate the cooperation.
Everything has been finalized since the beginning of the plan. In this plan, Xiuyi has to attract enough people to provide funds and protection for his blind eyes.
Of course, for the businessmen in the drums, this beautiful prospect that Xiu Yi can provide for them is enough to excite everyone.
In fact, many people in the hall heard the grand and ambitious vision of Xiu Yi, and many people couldn't help but be excited, and wanted to talk to Xiu Yi about cooperation. Some people who are not very familiar with Xiuyi, have learned that Qishang and the Bavarian family have already had a good foundation of cooperation with each other, and that the heir of the young family does have some unique alchemy skills. Full of interest.
It looks like this is a huge investment project, and the Dardanelles cannot rely on a single family to complete the project. And even if they can complete it, they don't plan to be stupid enough to eat alone in Warrington, they will inevitably draw a group of senior officials to help them complete the plan unhindered.
Obviously this is a very clever guy. He not only knows how to do things, but also how to be a person, so he will openly express his thoughts in this situation.
This makes everyone's eyes full of strangeness, it is difficult to imagine a teenager less than 17 years old with such delicate thoughts and magnificent handwriting.
As for the girls who came out of the aristocracy, the eyes when they saw Iglesias were even more enthusiastic.
In those countless strange eyes, there was envy, jealousy, admiration, and even admiration.
— "What do you think of that Catherandanil?" A noble lady asked her partner by shaking her fan.
"It's not bad, and it's smart," the partner replied.
"The important thing is that he looks very good. Look at this castle. It's so beautiful here," said another partner.
"Do you think what he said just now is bragging, or is it really possible?"
"That's not what we can understand. I don't even know where he is and what he can do. But I can see that he is not talking nonsense. You didn't notice the people around him, but they were all warm spirits. Do n’t you know a big business? Do you think that people like Ocomman Dodge, Viscount Radhur and Jean; are people like Mr Brett a businessman who can be deceived at will?

"So he really has the ability to do alchemy as a big industry?"
"Oh, don't use those pesky business terms. We are women and we shouldn't understand business, but if at least a group of businessmen listen carefully to what a teenager says, it means that what he said must be valuable."
"So he's really capable," said the partner's eyes. "A young, handsome, guy from everybody, and very capable. Don't you know he's engaged?"
"You little hoof, don't forget that this is Wuyin Castle, maybe tomorrow you will hear the death of this young heir in the castle."
"Did you not hear that he was assuring those merchants that he would not easily enter the tower?" That's right, Shuigelaar not far away is making solemn promises to every merchant, and he will never use it. Life seeks out unknown secrets. This made many people relieved.
"So, are you interested in him?" The partner asked.
"Oh, look at the girls around, how many are indifferent?" The other party made a charming and coquettish voice.
The girls covered their mouths and chuckled together.
The laughter of the girls reached Bateson's ears, which severely stimulated his already sensitive nerves.
He has been standing in the crowd, clearly seeing that the love rival eloquently expounds his ideas in the crowd, and does not calmly encourage everyone to invest in him and his family.
It seems that many people are quite interested in this.
All they needed was time for the young master to prove his abilities.
Not far away, Christine nestled beside Xiu Yi, and the bird's appearance angered Bateson's heart.
He vowed that he would kill the who took him away, and let Christine take a good look at the boy he liked, how begging for mercy under his Bateson Banister sword, and how without dignity.
Let all the girls know who the best men are in Winrington.
Envious anger burned away the last reason, and Bateson finally stood up.
He strode in front of Xiu Yi, took off the white gloves from his hands, and threw it to Xiu Yi's feet.
"Is Catherdarnier? I, the heir to the Barnister family, Batterson Barnister, challenge you for the beautiful Christine."
At this moment, everyone's surprised eyes looked at Bateson.
Bateson stood high in the crowd's gaze, staring at his lover.
Xiu Yi, who is discussing specific details with friends, does not seem to be shaken by this sudden scene.
He gave Bateson a special look, then waved, and a waiter came to him.
He put the wine glass in the plate on the waiter's hand with great grace, and Xiuyi said to Bateson, "Mr. Bateson, I don't understand why you should fight me."
"For Christine! This reason is enough, you shameless villain, you don't deserve her! She is mine, I love her!" Bateson yelled angrily.
Xiu Yi's ridiculous mockery appeared on his face: "Have it? No, I don't own any woman. You must know that women are the most outstanding masterpieces of the Creator, and are worthy of men's pursuit and love. For our favorite women, we offer Their most passionate love and sincerity, bowing humbly at their feet, is like worshipping the sun. "
These remarks drew applause from the vast majority of women at the scene.
Xiu continued: "Kristin is my good friend. I only care about her and don't mean to be blasphemy. If you are dissatisfied with my friendship with Christine, it means you want her to be lonely You cannot make any male confidant. This should never be the way a gentleman loves a woman. "
Thunderous applause erupted again at the scene, making Bateson's face red and red.
"You! Haven't you ever entered Christine's room?" Bateson yelled.
As soon as this word came out, the scene was uproar.
Xiu's face sank: "Did you just hurt the woman you loved? In the presence of everyone, made me and a widow widow? If you really love her, let alone me and her There is no such thing, and if there is, you should not speak out in public and slander her reputation. Mr. Bateson, if this is your love, then your love is destroying a loyal woman. Oh, you Want to say that she is not chastity? So why do you love her? Is she obsessed with her appearance or fancy about her fortune? "
"You bullshit!" Bateson screamed.
But then he noticed that everyone looked at him with disdain.
He accused Xiuyi of inadvertently making a big mistake, and Xiuyi immediately pinned out the mistake and quickly distracted everyone's attention.
Christine is indeed the woman who knows most about acting. At this moment, her expression is wrong, then anger, and then tears fall like rain.
She performed so wonderfully, like an aggrieved woman, came to Bateson, and Christine sobbed and said, "Bateson, I didn't expect you to say that. I I used to think you really loved me and cared for me, but today you hurt me mercilessly. Yes, I and Cather are good friends, because the Weston family and the Dardanelle family have close ties Business dealings. Through the deal with the Dardanelles family, the Weston family has made huge profits. You can not believe what I said, but you can also ask Mr. Dodge and Viscount Radul in The Neil family transaction is not the only one benefiting from the Weston family. Even now, everyone is still preparing to continue to carry out new cooperation programs. In this case, I and Catherdane Darner approached some completely It ’s very normal. There are rumors about me and Heather outside, but in my opinion, those who really understand me will naturally believe in me, and I have no meaning to actively clarify anything. This is also a test that tests everyone My confidence, but I did not expect it so you can not wait to come out and insult my reputation, but issued a challenge to my good friend. You let me down. "
Then, Christine gave Bateson a slap.
This slap stunned the nobleman on the spot, and Christine turned and left.
Everyone applauded this slap. Although their voices were very light, the sounds of countless people would gather into a sound wave, piercing into Bateson's ear like a sharp needle, almost stabbing him.
He did not expect that his challenge had not yet begun, and the other party had already set him back with just a few words. Although he believed that Christine and Xiu could not have nothing to do with each other, but his behavior in public revealing it all became the biggest mistake.
The wealthy and nobles have suffered a lot of private life. No one dares to say that they are clean.
However, no one has ever publicly claimed all of this, and many things have been left alone.
The blatant claims that Christine and Seth have behaviors like Bateson are actually very immoral, and they are blaming their favorite women.
This is intolerable for many people.
At this moment, Xiu Yi looked at Bateson coldly, and the disdainful ridicule was twisted at the corner of his mouth, which further stimulated Bateson's already hit nerve.
Many people make further mistakes after being hit, and make up small mistakes by making bigger mistakes.
So did Bateson, and he didn't have room to step back.
He yelled and pulled out his long sword and pointed at Xiuyi: "Come and fight me! In the name of the Barnister family, I want to challenge you! You can't refuse!"
Xiu looked coldly at Bateson: "Are you sure you want to do that?"
"Yes!" Bateson yelled.
"It's interesting. I heard that you are a sixth-level samurai. I think the motto of the samurai is not to bully the weak, but it looks like you like to find someone who can't beat you."
There was a low sneer again on the court.
Bateson's face became harder and harder to look at.
"Are you afraid? Coward. If you are afraid, kneel and apologize to me, and leave Christine forever, then I will spare your life!"
Xiu Yi raised an eyebrow: "It's an interesting request, but I think you misunderstood what I meant. My accusation of your behavior does not mean that I fear you for that, nor does it mean that I refuse to fight you. Just As you can see, I am just the heir of a business family, I know a little bit about alchemy, but I am not very good at fighting samurai. So I believe that even if I die under your sword, no one will Laugh at me, on the contrary, even if you succeed me, you will not get any reputation for this, but it will discredit your family. So I am reminding you that your behavior will bring consequences to your family. Are you Was such a decision made sober? "
Bateson was stunned again, he did not expect Xiu would say so.
Yes, an ordinary family heir who hasn't cultivated his vindication will not bring himself any fame, but will discredit the family.
But ... but if he doesn't, he will never hope for Christine.
At this moment, Bateson gritted his teeth: "Cisedar Daniil, yes I decided to fight you, I will fight you in the duel. But I also do not want to take advantage of you. I can give you a chance, as long as You can catch my three swords without dying, even if I lose this duel. "
A person who is not a samurai does not die after taking a sixth-level samurai with three swords?
The people at the scene issued a mocking laughter together. This practice of Bateson did not exchange everyone's understanding and support, but rather despised his behavior.
No one can do it.
On the contrary, Xiu Yi, after hearing the other party's speech, flashed more and more ridicule in his eyes.
"Is Sanjian? I agree."
Everyone at the scene cried out in astonishment.
"No, Heather, you can't promise him." Mr. Dodge cried.
Viscount Radul also seized Xiuyi, forbidding him to take such risks. To them, the Dardanelles are a cornucopia, and Catherd Dardanelles are the ones who can bring them huge benefits.
In any case, this young heir cannot be allowed to die under Bateson's sword.
If that's the case, not to mention that the next big plan cannot be completed, even the 30% of the material money that was owed before is at risk of not being collected.
This is unacceptable to them.
"Don't be nervous, Dodge will be born, Viscount Radul. You know I will not do anything unsure. If I want to defeat this Bertson Sixth Samurai, to be honest, I'm afraid I can't do it, but I took him three swords ... Well, it should not be too difficult. "Xiu Yi said confidently.
He looked at Bateson and said loudly, "I agree to accept your duel invitation, but the space here is not spacious enough, how about going to the castle door?"
Then, he picked up the white gloves on the ground. !! ~!
