For alchemists, the puppet has always been their most important combat tool.

Even Electra, the saint mage at that time, had the capital that dominated the world, and was his puppet legion, not his personal combat power.

However, for every alchemist, how to own a legion of demon puppets is a huge difficulty.

With the years of hard work of the Lance Empire, it is only a legion of puppets with a number of about 10,000.

Among them, the biggest key to the number of puppets is human and material resources.

Xiu Yi once did a basic operation.

If we want to build a Vajra puppet corps with a number of about ten thousand people, it will almost require consuming all the total materials in the country of the Lance Empire within one year, and in addition, it will also require a large amount of manpower with a population of more than a thousand people to do so.

This is obviously an impossible plan.

Even in the Purgatory Island Plan, the Lance Empire failed to make such a large-scale investment. After all, there are many daily areas that still require the support of alchemy.

So how can I get myself to have such a legion? Xiuyi doesn’t know how Electra did it at the beginning, but Xiuyi has his own method.

This is another important significance of the existence of the Dardanelles family.

Through the alchemy industrialization process as described above, an alchemy factory is openly established and then the production is carried out in a grand manner.

Through huge profit grabs and the use of market behavior to openly acquire a large amount of materials, not only facing the Lance Empire, but also facing other countries outside the empire, but also secretly producing by recruiting a large number of workers.

Secret production is obviously the most basic requirement of any alchemy. No one will hope that their unique alchemy production methods will be leaked. Xiuyi has enough reason to do so. The workers will produce according to the assembly line method formulated by Xiuyi. They only need to know what they should do, but they will not know what they are doing and what their functions are.

Some of these processed finished products will be combined into products that need to make profits and flow to the market, while some will flow to his secret laboratory through Xiuyi's hands and will be formed through the final processing to form a Kyushen puppet.

To this end, Xiu Yi took the risk of taking out metal extract as part of his investment.

This metal extract was created and invented by Electra and was also one of the main materials for the creation of the undead monster rat and the King Kong puppet. Xiu Yi will give part of the produced metal extract to the market and part of it for himself to use.

As the destined person in charge of the future alchemy factory, Xiu Yi has too many opportunities to indulge in all this as he pleases.

Of course, the consequence of all these actions is that the profits of the factory will be greatly reduced, but it doesn't matter. Xiu Yi was prepared for this. For example, the original cost of a scout bee was only five Jinweits. After Xiu Yi's improvement, cutting corners and reducing the technical cost of production, the minimum cost may only be two Jinweits. When the scout bee undergoes large-scale production, the price will be reduced to thirty Jinweits, and the sales volume will be increased ten times. Xiu Yi promised the other party a half profit, which means that he has a lot of benefits to make from it, and there is no need to worry about anyone discovering it. After those merchants get enough profits, it is impossible for those merchants to ask Xiu Yi to provide mass production methods, otherwise Xiu Yi has the right to terminate the cooperation.

Everything was finalized as early as the beginning of the plan. In this plan, all Xiu Yi had to do was to win over enough people to provide funds and protection for his tricks.

Of course, for the merchants who are kept in the dark, the bright prospect that Xiuyi can provide them is enough to make everyone excited.

In fact, after hearing the magnificent and lofty prospects of Xiu'in, many people could no longer suppress their excitement and wanted to have a good conversation with Xiu'in about cooperation. Some people who were not very familiar with Xiu'in, after they knew that Qishang and the Bavarian family had a good foundation for cooperation with each other, and that the heir of the young family did have some unique alchemy skills, were also full of interest in this business.

It seems that this is a huge investment project, and the Dardanelles family cannot rely on their own family to complete the project. And even if they can complete it, they are not stupid enough to eat alone in Winlington. They will inevitably attract a group of dignitaries to help them complete the plan without any obstacles.

Obviously this is a very smart young man. He not only knows how to do things, but also knows how to be a human being, so he openly expresses his thoughts on such occasions.

This made everyone's eyes look strange when they looked at him. It was hard to imagine that a boy under seventeen years old would have such delicate thoughts and majestic work.

As for the girls who came out of the nobles, the eyes of Shuiglair when they looked at Shuiglair were even more enthusiastic.

In those countless strange eyes, there was envy, jealousy, admiration, and even admiration.

— "What do you think of that Siser Dardanell?" A noble lady shook her feather fan and asked her companions around her.

"I look pretty and have a smart mind," replied the partner.

"What's important is that he looks very wealthy, look at the castle, it's so beautiful here," said another partner.

"Do you think what he said just now is bragging or is it possible?"

"We can't understand this. I don't even know where he is and what kind of ability he has. But it can be seen that he is not talking nonsense. Did you not notice that those around him are all famous big merchants in Winlington? Do you think people like O'Conman Dodge, Viscount Ladour, and Gene; Mr. Brett will be traders who will be deceived at will?"

"So he does have the ability to treat alchemy as a big industry?"

"Oh, don't use those annoying business terms. We are women and shouldn't understand business, but at least if I have a group of businessmen listening carefully to what a teenager says, it means that what he says must be valuable."

"So he is indeed very capable." A light flashed in his partner's eyes: "A young, handsome, well-born, and very capable young man. Don't you know he is engaged?"

"You little hoof, don't forget that this is Misty Castle. Maybe tomorrow you will hear the news that this young heir died in the castle."

"Didn't you hear him assuring the merchants that he would not enter the tower easily?" That's right, Shuiglair, not far away, is making a solemn promise to every merchant. He will never use his life to explore unknown secrets. This made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

"So, are you moved by him?" asked the partner.

"Oh, look at the girls around you, how many of them are unmoved?" The other party made a charming and delicate voice.

Several girls covered their mouths and chuckled.

When the girls' laughter reached Bateson's ears, it severely stimulated his already sensitive nerves.

He had been standing in the crowd, clearly seeing the rival in love expressing his thoughts with enthusiasm among the crowd, and without singling to encourage everyone to invest in him and his family.

It seems that many people are quite moved by this.

All they need is a little time for the young master of the family to prove his abilities.

Not far away, Christine snuggled beside Xiuyi, and the bird's look of relying on others made Bateson's heart angry.

He vowed that he would kill the bastard who snatched his heart, and let Christine take a good look at the boy he liked, how he begged for mercy and how unhappy he was under the sword of Bateson Barnister.

It also lets all the girls know who the best man is in Winlington.

The jealous anger burned away the last sanity, and Bateson finally stood up.

He strode to Xiuyi, took off his white gloves from his hand, and threw them at Xiuyi's feet.

"Is Sitha Dardanier? I, the heir to the Barnister family, Bateson Barnister, challenge you for the beautiful Christine."

At this moment, everyone looked at Bateson with surprise.

Bateson stood arrogantly in the crowd, staring at his rival.

Xiuyi, who was discussing specific details with his friends, did not seem to be shocked by this sudden scene.

He glanced at Bateson with a meaningful look, then waved his hand and a waiter came to him.

With great grace, he put the wine glass in his hand on the plate on the waiter's hand, and then Shuyi said to Bateson: "Mr. Bateson, I don't understand why you are duel with me."

"For Christine! This reason is enough. You shameless villain, you don't deserve her! She is mine, I love her!" Bateson yelled angrily.

Shuyi's face showed disdainful mockery: "Own? No, I don't own any woman. You must know that women are the most outstanding masterpiece of the Creator and are worthy of pursuit and love by men. For the women we like, we offer our warmest love and sincerity, and humbly bow to their feet, as if we worship the sun."

This remark attracted the cheers of most women on the scene.

Shuyi continued: "Christine is my good friend. I only have a heart to protect her and have no blasphemy. If you are not satisfied with my friendship with Christine, it means you want her to be lonely and cannot make any male confidant. This should never be the way a gentleman loves a lady."

Thunderous applause broke out again at the scene, making Bateson blush.

"You! Haven't you ever entered Christine's room?" Bateson yelled.

As soon as these words were said, the scene was immediately in an uproar.

Xiu Yi's face darkened: "Is this how you slander the woman you love? In front of everyone, I created a widow-guarded man? If you really love her, not to say that there is no such thing between me and her, even if there is, you shouldn't say it out in public and slander her reputation. Mr. Bateson, if this is your love, then your love is destroying a loyal woman. Oh, do you want to say that she is unfaithful? Then why do you love her? Are you fascinated by her appearance or her wealth?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Bateson screamed wildly.

But then he noticed that everyone was looking at him with disdain.

He accidentally made a big mistake in his accusation against Xiu Yi, and Xiu Yi immediately caught the mistake and quickly diverted everyone's attention.

Christine is indeed the woman who knows how to perform the most. Her expression at this moment was first shocked, then angry, and then tears fell like rain.

She performed so wonderfully, like a woman who suffered a lot of grievances. When she came to Bateson, Christine sobbed, "Bateson, I didn't expect you to say that. I used to think you really loved me and cared for me, but today, you hurt me ruthlessly. Yes, Siser and I are good friends, because the Weston family and the Dardanelles family have close business dealings. Through the transaction with the Dardanelles family, the Weston family has made huge profits. You can't believe what I said, but you can also ask Mr. Dodge and Viscount Ladul, in Heda

The Weston family is not the only one who benefits from the Daniel family transaction. Even now, everyone is still preparing to continue to carry out new cooperation plans. In this case, it is completely normal for me and Daldainell to get closer. There are indeed rumors about me and Siser, but in my opinion, those who really know me will naturally believe me. I have no point in taking the initiative to clarify anything. This is also a test, testing everyone's confidence in me, but I didn't expect that you would stand up like this, insult my reputation, and at the same time provoke my good friends. You disappointed me so much."

As he said that, Christine slapped Bateson hard.

The slap made the noble young man feel stunned on the spot, and Christine turned around and left.

Everyone whispered to the slap. Although their voices were very light, the sounds made by countless people still gathered into a wave of sound, piercing Bateson's ears like sharp needles, making him almost thrust.

He didn't expect that his challenge had not yet begun, and the other party had already severely beaten him with just a few words. Although he believed that Christine and Xiuyi could not have nothing to do with each other, his behavior of exposing all this in public was undoubtedly the biggest mistake.

There have always been many things in wealthy and nobles’ private lives, and no one dares to say that they are clean.

However, no one publicly claims all this, and many things are just indifferent.

The behaviors like Bateson openly claiming that Christine and Siser are actually very immoral, and they are also blaming the woman they like.

This is unbearable for many people.

At this moment, Xiu Yi looked at Bateson coldly, and the disdainful sneering on the corner of his mouth further stimulated Bateson's already hit nerves.

Many people will make further mistakes after being hit, and make up for small mistakes by creating bigger mistakes.

Bateson was the same, he had no room to retreat.

He yelled and drew out his sword and pointed it at Xiuyi: "Come and duel with me! In the name of the Barnister family, I want to challenge you! You can't refuse!"

Shuyi Leng Wang Bateson: "Are you sure you want to do that?"

"That's right!" Bateson shouted.

"It's so interesting. I heard you are a Level 6 warrior. I thought the samurai motto is not to bully the weak, but it seems that you like to find someone who can't beat you for duels."

A low sneer was sent out again in the field.

Bateson's face became increasingly ugly.

"Are you scared? Coward. If you are scared, kneel down and apologize to me and leave Christine forever, then I will spare your life!"

Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "It's interesting to ask, but I think you misunderstood what I mean. My accusation of your behavior does not mean that I fear you, nor does it mean that I refuse to fight you. It's just that as you can see, I'm just the heir of a business family, with a little knowledge of alchemy, but not proficient in the battles of warriors. Therefore, I believe that even if I die under your sword, no one will laugh at me for this. On the contrary, even if you succeed, I won't get any reputation for it, but will smear your family. So I'm reminding you of the consequences of your behavior. Have you made such a decision in a sober situation?"
