The most shameless alchemist in history

"Prepare for battle, and embrace the destiny that belongs to our people!" Ababa turned and glanced at his people.

After taking a deep breath, his body began to be bathed in golden light, and a change occurred.

“Master, what about these ordinary people, they…” The butler-like man named Jin Tan hesitated.

“I will erase their memories, and they will act as if nothing happened,” Ababa replied.

"That young master..."

"He was the same. It came five years earlier than we expected. He couldn't fight against it, so we erased his memory as well. Maybe he will help us many years later," Ababa said with a wry smile.

“Maybe?” Jin Tan frowned.

“Yes, it’s his choice how to do it. All we can do is keep it here. Let’s get started,” Ababa gave the order.

Everyone behind him transformed into a golden light and rushed towards the sky!

577 Teleportation Array

Two giant dragons suddenly appeared in the sky, a sight that shocked everyone. Not only that, more and more golden streaks of light appeared in the night sky. People saw the golden light rushing towards the black dragons, and the sky seemed to crack open with countless fissures. The light shield above the castle was hit hard.

Kotetsu and Hyo-o, who were enjoying their time drinking, found Winry immediately. They looked up at the sky in horror. Even these worldly people were shocked by what they saw and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Boss Hu Che, this can't be a joke, right? There are actually two giant dragons! I've never seen a dragon before in my life!" Leopard Tail was surprised and uncertain. He rubbed his eyes and clearly saw the black dragon and the golden dragon fighting and killing each other in the sky.

"Although I don't understand the situation either, this is not good. The castle can't hold out for long. If this continues, we will all be doomed!" Hu Che's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He could see that the golden light shield protecting the castle was denting from time to time and was on the verge of collapse.

“We must find a way to get out of here; we can’t just sit here and wait to die!” Bee Sting offered her opinion.

“I know we need to leave, but the problem is how. We didn’t come here on our own; we were teleported here. Right, didn’t that guy Dure say before that we’re still in Storm City? But the problem is how to get out.” Leopard Tail was a little anxious.

"Well..." Kotetsu was also troubled. This was the first time he had encountered a similar situation, and he couldn't find a clue for a while.

“Where is Mr. Dure? I haven’t seen him at all. And Miss Bailing, what’s wrong?” Wenli looked around, searching for Dure’s whereabouts.

At the same time, she noticed that Bai Ling, who was usually very cautious, had been looking up at the giant dragon in the sky from the very beginning.

"Wh...what?" Bailing seemed not to have heard Wenli's words clearly. After noticing that Wenli was looking at her, she asked.

"Are you alright? You look terrible." Wenli asked with concern.

“I’m fine, Miss Winry. The situation is too chaotic right now. We have to think of a solution.” Bailing waved her hand.

She looked away. Although she was very concerned about the two giant dragons in the sky, she knew that getting out safely was the top priority.

"The problem is we can't think of a solution, and that kid Dure has also disappeared..." Leopard Tail was getting anxious.

Just then, someone jogged over from not far away.

"Please move closer to me, please move closer to me, everyone move closer to me!" a voice rang out from the crowd.

Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone definitely heard it. After all, she was the main character here. The one who came over to gather everyone together was the bride of this wedding, Miss Ellie.

"Miss Ellie? Is there anything I can help you with?" Leopard Tail, Kotetsu, and the others went over and asked.

They had a good impression of Ellie, and because of Dure, they all considered her a friend. Now that Ellie was gathering people, they naturally went to help without hesitation. However, the situation on the scene was somewhat chaotic, and everyone was running away.

Even though they couldn't find a way to escape, fear spread as quickly as a plague.

“You are… Mr. Dure’s friends, right? Please help me get everyone to gather near the square. I need to draw a teleportation array to get everyone out of this dangerous place!” Ellie asked Kotetsu and the others.

"What? A teleportation array? Miss Ellie, can you do that?" Leopard Tail was stunned.

In his mind, Ellie was a delicate and weak young lady from a wealthy family, and he did not think she had the ability to send everyone away.

"Although I haven't tried this before, I can still give it a shot. There's no time left, so please help me. The protective barrier can only last for another ten minutes before it collapses!" Ellie's attitude was very sincere, and it was clear that she was very anxious.

“Understood. Then let’s work together with Miss Ellie. Everyone split up and make sure everyone is gathered here. We’ll take care of the gathering, and as for the rest, we’ll leave it to Miss Ellie!” Winry trusted Ellie a lot.

"Since Miss Winry has put it that way, then let's do it this way. Hey, you guys come over here right now. Yes, you lot, young people, come help find everyone and gather them all in the square. The elderly, weak, women, and children, stay in the center of the square and don't wander off!"

After receiving instructions from Wenli, Leopard Tail immediately ran to the vicinity and shouted, leading the wandering crowd to the center of the square.

At first, some people were resistant to it, but with the persuasion and forceful dragging of Kotetsu and Hyobi, it finally gained some momentum.

More and more people gathered near the square, and Ellie was drawing a teleportation array on the outside, clearly struggling with it.

Because this was something she shouldn't have been doing, but since no one else had time for it, she was the only one who could do it.

Eight minutes later, the teleportation array was finally completed, and most people crowded around the plaza.

"Alright, it's done. Everyone get ready, I'm going to take you all back to Storm City." Ellie wiped the sweat from her forehead, finally relieved that the mission was accomplished.

"Miss Ellie, will you send us back? Miss Ellie, who exactly are you..." Kotetsu frowned.

He knew that teleporting so many people away at once, even though they were already in Storm City, would consume an astronomical amount of magical energy. And how old did Ellie look? He didn't think a girl could accomplish this alone.

“We’re the ones who dragged everyone into this, so whether we can do it or not, we have to give it a try.” Ellie had made her final preparations.

“Since Miss Ellie says so, we should definitely believe her. Everyone, be prepared and don’t run around… By the way, has anyone seen that guy, Dure? We haven’t seen him at all. Where did he go?” Leopard Tail looked around.

He then noticed that he still hadn't seen Dure.

“Huh? Mr. Dure? I thought he was with you. Isn’t he around here?” Winry was also surprised.

“I said he was with you guys, but I didn’t see him. That guy is usually pretty reliable, so why did he disappear at this crucial moment?” Leopard Tail was surprised.

There is only one minute left before the protective barrier completely collapses. At that time, regardless of whether Dure is present or not, the teleportation array must be activated!

578. Mistaken identity.

While Kotetsu and the others were searching for Dure's whereabouts, Dure, as the person involved and the male protagonist of this wedding, was standing on the watchtower high in the castle, watching the scene of the wind and clouds in the sky. The entire sky was divided in two, one half was churning dark clouds, and the other half was blazing golden light.

Dure was not unaware that the entire castle was about to collapse. The golden light above his head was growing weaker and weaker, with only slight ripples proving that it still existed. But he didn't know when it would disappear completely, and when the light disappeared, the castle would collapse.

Standing in his position, he could clearly see everyone gathering towards the center of the square. He also saw the busy figures of Kotetsu, Hyojiro, and the others. Even if the message hadn't reached him, he knew that they must have left the Golden Castle and returned to Storm City via teleportation through the central square.

Even so, he remained standing on the watchtower. It wasn't because he was overly curious—why would he stay here to watch the spectacle when life and death were at stake? It was because he couldn't leave. To be more precise, someone was blocking his way, preventing him from moving.

There were two people blocking his way. He had seen both of them before and they weren't strangers. He even remembered their names. The well-dressed young man in the black evening suit was called Night Raven, and the little girl in the black court-style dress was called Red Sparrow.

"Hey, long time no see, kid. Do you still remember us?" Red Sparrow showed a small tiger tooth as she asked, holding up an umbrella.

"Huh? Have I seen you before? I don't remember you, or have you mistaken me for someone else?" Du Lei pretended not to recognize them.

"Don't give me that! We were taken care of by you back in the hot spring village on the border of the Snow Country!" Red Sparrow was furious. Her hatred for Dure ran deep. She closed her umbrella and pointed the tip at Dure, shouting at him.

"The Land of Snow? I've never been there, and as for the hot spring village, I've never even heard of it. So you must have mistaken me for someone else, right?" Dure denied it outright. He knew these two people had ill intentions, and it would be pointless to clash with them at this time.

“Is that so, Red Sparrow? Let’s go. It seems we really have mistaken someone for someone else.” After observing Red Sparrow for a while, Night Raven waved his hand, signaling Red Sparrow not to obstruct Dure any further.

"What? Night Raven, it's clearly that guy! How could I possibly mistake him? I don't care anymore, I must avenge what happened before, I will never let him get away with it!" Red Sparrow's attitude was very firm. In the past few months, she had never forgotten the humiliation of being fooled that day.

"Redbird!" Nightcrow raised his voice and shouted.

"I..." Although Red Sparrow was unwilling, she knew that her companion was really angry.

Although the Night Raven usually gives in to its own will, it can be quite terrifying when it gets angry.

"Do you want me to repeat myself?" Night Raven said coldly, though he appeared refined and gentle, his voice was now filled with murderous intent.

"I understand, kid. You got lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time!" Red Sparrow said bitterly. Although she didn't understand why Night Raven did this, she could only let Dure leave.

"I've always been lucky, so am I really going?" Du Lei had originally thought he would encounter considerable trouble.

He knew these two guys were very difficult to deal with, but now Night Raven had let him go so easily.

This really surprised him.

"They didn't actually catch up? They actually ran into these two. How did they escape from the bottom of North Mountain? And what about that guy named Kashu we met before..." Du Lei recalled his encounter at Maple Leaf Academy.

At that time, he encountered Kashu in the Tower of Ashes. People who should have been buried at the bottom of the North Mountain kept appearing in front of him, which Dure couldn't understand. How did they escape the pouring of lava?

"Forget it, let's get out of here as soon as possible. Hopefully, we can still make it in time." At this moment, Du Lei noticed a golden light emanating from the center of the square.

This was a sign that the teleportation array was about to take effect. He quickened his pace; if he missed the teleportation array, he would have to stay behind!

Meanwhile, from the watchtower, Cardinal watched Dure's figure disappear into the distance.

"Nightcrow, what's wrong with you? Do you really believe him? Did we really mistake him for someone else?" Red Sparrow shouted.

“Of course we didn’t mistake him; he is indeed the boy from the hot spring village.” Night Raven nodded.

"Then why did you let him go?" Red Sparrow couldn't understand it at all.

"Didn't you notice?" Night Raven retorted.

"What did you sense?" Red Sparrow was puzzled.

“He carries the scent of poison kiss and Matan,” Night Raven said earnestly.

"What? Poison Kiss and Matan, those two guys? How is that possible? How could he have run into Poison Kiss and Matan?" Red Sparrow exclaimed in surprise.

“I’d like to know why too, but he definitely did encounter them, and… he killed them, no, to be precise, he only killed one,” Nightraven corrected.

"What did you say? Him? He's just a lowly mid-level magic user. How could he kill a Flame-level magic user? There are three levels between them!" Red Sparrow found it unbelievable; it was simply too sensational.

"I don't know how he did it, but I did sense the deathly aura of Poison Kiss on him just now," Night Raven replied confidently.

"The aura of death? How is that possible?" Red Sparrow found it unbelievable.

"There's no mistake, it's a poison kiss. Normally, after a person dies, the aura of death dissipates quickly, but that boy is different. The aura of death of multiple dead people lingers on his body. I don't know how he did it, but... he's a very dangerous person."

The night raven is much calmer and more accurate in its judgment of people than the cardinal; it can spot details that the cardinal misses.

"Then we can't just let this go. No matter how dangerous he is, I will make him pay for what he did!" Red Sparrow gritted her teeth. She was a petty and vindictive person.

"Revenge is something for later. Let's leave now. This place is about to collapse. Do you want to stay here and perish with the entire castle?" Night Raven asked him in return.

"This... I definitely don't want to. Fine, let that kid live a few more days. Next time I see him, I'll definitely tear him to pieces!" After calming down and thinking about the priorities, Red Sparrow completely shattered the golden light barrier in the sky.

Countless black feathers fell again.

She and Night Raven vanished into nothingness in a flash.
