Almighty Alchemist

Opening his eyes again, Gong Hao found himself in front of Lancelot's wooden house by the small lake.

An identical teleportation circle shining red light was right behind him.

"Hui, you succeeded!" Lancelot walked towards him with a big smile.

He hugged Gong Hao: "You are really a genius. You have completed the teleportation circle problem that no one has been able to solve for many years. Do you know that you will leave the most glorious page in history!"

Gong Hao smiled wryly, yes, he has been suffering for too long for this day.

After Lancelot notified Hines of the success of teleporting the magic circle, the next moment, Hines and Andrew also came to the small lake from the magic circle.

Then the apprentices on both sides closed the teleportation circle.

Gong Hao looked at the powdered crystals on the ground, and sighed: "The consumption is still too high. The current energy recycling rate has only reached 30%, and the sustainable time is still limited."

Hines waved his hand and smiled, "Oh, that's just a matter of time, and time will help you gain further maturity in technology. In any case, we have been able to maintain the teleportation circle for about half an hour. This is of epoch-making significance."

"That's right." Lancelot said: "I don't think it will be long before Liberty will be out of a job. They will find that we no longer need them to travel thousands of miles to deliver goods, but only need to activate the teleportation array to complete all the transportation work."

Andrew immediately said: "This is impossible in a short time. Activating a teleportation circle consumes a lot of energy, and the cost is far greater than the round trip of the Liberty. Before we increase the energy utilization rate to 90%, I don't think His Majesty will cancel the use of the Liberty to deliver goods for us. However, the teleportation circle can be a transmission window for urgent items and information. After all, there are many things that cannot be measured by value."

"That is to say, I still can't use it as a shortcut to my daily commute?" Lancelot was a little dissatisfied.

Hines comforted him and said: "Lancelot, I know that you are eager to leave this island. For a star warrior, this is really the most normal request. But you should know that your situation is very special. Staying here is good for you and the empire."

Lancelot was silent.

After a few people talked for a while, Hines left the lake and returned to his alchemy tower, of course, on foot.

Although it is convenient to use the teleportation circle, it is too expensive and extravagant after all. People cannot go to the bathroom on an airplane.

Only Gong Hao and Lancelot were left by the lake.

Gong Hao looked at the disappointed Lancelot, took his hand, and motioned him to sit down beside him.

He said softly: "Lord Lancelot, you know that I have never forgotten my promise."

Lancelot sighed.

He sat on a big rock and covered his face with his hands: "Twenty-three years. Twenty-three years have passed. I have lived on this island for twenty-three years, Xiuyi, and this time is longer than your age."

"Yes, I understand."

"I just want to see her... just... just want to see her."

"Can you tell me who she is?"

Gong Hao sat beside Lancelot and asked softly.

The current Gong Hao is fully qualified to sit beside Lancelot.

A line of confusion appeared in Lancelot's eyes, and he fell into deep memories: "I'm sorry Xiu Yi, I can't tell you her name, it involves some important people. But what I can tell you is that she is a beautiful woman, a woman with a charming smile on her face forever."

"So does she love you?"

"Yes, Xiu Yi, at least once loved me, just like a little princess's feelings for you. But you are more sober than me. You know that you can't like people you shouldn't like, but I didn't. At that time, I was young and full of self-righteousness. I pursued her crazily, and I didn't even care who my competitor was..."

"And you failed?"

"Yes, Xiu Yi, I failed. At that time, I was called a genius among warriors. I was only seventeen years old, and I was already a sixth-level warrior, and I was about to break through to seventh level. You know that there are very few people who can reach this level at that age."

"Yes you are very great."

"But I still failed, and that's why I understand that force cannot solve all problems. I was exiled to this deserted island and became a hunter under the alchemists to catch monsters for them. No matter how much I wanted to return, I could never do it. Until you appeared... Xiuyi, you gave me hope. From the moment you followed me into the jungle to catch monsters, I knew that you must be the one who can bring about change. You told me that day, you can help me go back to my hometown and see the person I want to see... Xiu Yi, you know that I look forward to this moment every day. But when this day finally comes, they tell me that the cost of teleportation once is too high, and I can't use it easily... Can you understand the feeling after the huge hope is shattered?"

"Yes, I can understand. I'm sorry, Lord Lancelot. I didn't make the teleportation circle the best."

"No, no, Xiuyi, you have done well enough. Given time, you may become a great alchemist like Electra. You just lack time." Lancelot waved his hand: "I was too impatient, it's nothing, I've waited for twenty-three years, so what's the point of waiting for a few more years."

Gong Hao smiled slightly.

He looked around carefully, and then said softly: "If you really want to go back and have a look, sir, there is no need to wait any longer."

Lancelot was startled: "What did you say?"

Gong Hao said in a low voice: "Do you know why I spend so much effort on researching space magic?"

Lancelot thought for a while, then blurted out: "For the little princess?"

Gong Hao smiled smugly.

Lancelot is a true lover. In his eyes, love is a noble and beautiful thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't offend a certain big shot because of a woman, and eventually be exiled to this deserted island to perform the work of a monster hunter. For Lancelot, perhaps love is the greatest motivation.

So Gong Hao nodded and said: "It's different from adults. I once promised the princess that I will develop the teleportation circle as soon as possible, so that she can come to see me from Wenlington at any time in the future. You know, the energy consumption when the teleportation circle is activated is very large, which makes the empire not activate the teleportation circle unless it is necessary."

Lancelot listened carefully.

Gong Hao continued: "But if the little princess wants to see me, she will never consider the issue of cost. That is to say, even though the current use of the teleportation circle will still consume a lot of money, it will not stop being used because of this, and it will even be used in a short time. In this case, if you want to get a ride, Lord Lancelot, if I say something nice to the princess, I believe no one will object."

Lancelot finally understood.

Obviously, Gong Hao is telling himself that with the little princess around, even if the country is not in crisis, the teleportation circle will still be opened frequently for her needs. In this way, Lancelot naturally had a chance.

Of course, it depends on Gong Hao's influence on the princess and the princess' influence on Strick VI.

I believe neither of these two points is a problem.

Lancelot had the urge to scream with excitement.

"Thank you so much, Xiu Yi, you know I will never forget the contribution you made to me in this matter." Lancelot held Gong Hao's hand tightly.

"Don't worry, my lord, you have to make some preparations first, right? You must know that before that, you have to prepare enough monsters for Purgatory Island, so that even if you are not on Purgatory Island for a few days, there will be no problems."

"Of course, I'm going to catch the monsters right now, and catch all the monsters you need!" Lancelot shouted with a big laugh.

He did what he said, stood up and walked away.

———————————————————————————

Return to the servant area from the small lake.

Butler Conton has been waiting for a long time.

"Master Grair."

"Kang Dun, what happened to the magic plant seeds I asked you to collect during this time?" Gong Hao asked.

"There are still thirteen kinds of magic plant seeds that have not been collected yet. Do you want to cultivate them now?"

"We'll wait until the collection is complete. How long is it estimated that the remaining seeds will be collected?"

"About ten days or so." Condon replied.

Carefully looking at Gong Hao, seeing that he didn't speak, Conton said, "Lord Andrew came here a few days ago and asked why no new magic plants have been bred during this period of time. I answered him according to your instructions, saying that you are researching new varieties."

"Andrew is no longer in charge of the work here. If he wants to ask again in the future, you can just let him come to me directly."

"yes."

"There are still ten days, Conton, do your job well."

"I see, my lord."

After leaving the servant area and returning to the Alchemy Tower, Gong Hao went to see Andrew.

When Andrew saw Gong Hao, he smiled and said, "Hey, Xiu Yi, just now the tutor and His Majesty had a conversation. Your Majesty has made a major breakthrough in your research, and His Majesty appreciates it very much. He hopes that you will continue to work hard and research the space accessories."

With the solution of the space magic energy circulation problem, all the difficult problems about this aspect are no longer difficult problems. Ultra-distance communication has been completed even before the teleportation circle, and it is no longer so difficult to make a space ring.

Gong Hao replied: "You know that it is indeed no longer difficult."

There was joy in Andrew's eyes: "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Of course, and it won't take long."

"Your Majesty will be very happy to hear the news. Xiuyi, without you, perhaps our progress in space magic will never be able to achieve success."

Gong Hao smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I believe that I will surprise you in a short time."

—————————————————

Ten days later, dusk.

By the small lake where Lancelot is.

The teleportation circle was re-covered with crystals.

Lancelot took a long breath to calm the great excitement in his heart.

He tried to use a calm tone and said: "So, everything is ready over there?"

"Yes, the little princess can't wait to come over. I made an appointment with her to meet at this time. Of course, it was secretly..." Gong Hao smiled. He looked at Lancelot and suddenly said, "Do you know? My lord, you look handsome today. I mean... very handsome, very chic."

Lancelot blushed slightly: "I just made up a little."

Gong Hao smiled. He took out a small box, put it in Lancelot's hand, and said to him: "This is a small gift I specially prepared for you. I believe you will need it. But please promise me that you will open it after you get there."

Lancelot accepted the box with some confusion: "I don't know why, Xiuyi, I always feel that you are acting weird today."

"I'm afraid it's my lord, you are too close to your hometown, so you feel different when you look at everything."

Is it because I am timid because of my closeness to my hometown? Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Even a powerful star warrior, when facing the long-lost hometown, when facing the dream he longed for, there will be times of timidity.

It's ridiculous.

He couldn't help shaking his head.

Gong Hao said: "Lord Lancelot, I hope your hometown is not too far away from Winnington. Remember that you only have six days. At this time after six days, the teleportation array will open again. The little princess will return at that time, and you will return to Purgatory Island at that time. During this time, I will try my best to conceal your departure."

"Don't worry, I won't miss the date."

"If you miss the date, come back on the Freedom." Gong Hao said leisurely: "They always go to sea from Shenzhen and Hong Kong."

"I said I would not miss the date, don't you believe in the promise of a star warrior?" Lancelot was somewhat dissatisfied.

Gong Hao didn't speak any more, he opened the teleportation circle.

Huge red waves surged out of the formation once again, full of mysterious and unknown power.

"My lord Lancelot, the princess is going to send your servants over there so that you can leave alone. So please go ahead." Gong Hao said.

Lancelot strode towards the teleportation array.

Before leaving, Lancelot seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Hui, why do I always feel that I seem to have missed some important key?"

"You haven't missed anything, my lord." A mysterious smile appeared on Gong Hao's face.

Lancelot was a little confused, but the strong desire to go home and have a look in his heart made him let go of the inexplicable feeling in his heart and set foot on the road home.

Just as he stepped onto the teleportation array, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around and shouted, "Xiuyi, the Liberty has not arrived yet, why did Winnington establish the corresponding teleportation array within ten days?"

Did not get an answer, Gong Hao has activated the magic circle. With a swish, Lancelot disappeared into the teleportation array.

"Go all the way, my lord!" Gong Hao murmured.

—————————————

In a certain empty and lonely wilderness of the Lance Empire, a peak warrior uttered a roar that shook like thunder:

"Hugh Igles, you bastard! Where did you send me!"

As if he could hear the voice, the blond boy on Purgatory Island replied silently: "To be honest, I don't know where you are now. One-way teleportation is so risky, and I can't accurately locate the target. I did my best not to send you to an altitude of 800 meters underground or 3,000 meters above the ground. Lord Lancelot, I know you are still alive. This time... I will not kill you. No matter how you look at it, I will treat you as a friend."

With that said, he left the small lake and walked towards the castle.

The plan that has been prepared for many years is finally officially launched at this moment. After deceiving Lancelot, the most powerful obstacle on Purgatory Island, Gong Hao no longer has any scruples. He wants to completely end this evil purgatory world!
