The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 44: Fugate in the Eyes of Melusin
"How much fire in a bottle do you need?" Fugate asked.

"About thirty copies. These are the initial ones. I need to verify first whether it can meet my needs." said Alecino.

"No problem." Fugate quickly configured the fire in the bottle and handed it to Alechino.

"The children's lives seem to be back on track recently, so can you give me a vacation? I want to go around the city." asked Fugate.

"Of course no problem, I have never restricted your travel." said Alechino.

"You didn't, but some guy did," laughed Fugate.

"[Doctor]? He restricts you from doing anything."

"Of course, he doesn't seem to have a very good impression of you. He thinks you might be a harsh, cruel, and vicious woman." Fugate smiled. This was the result of Alecino ignoring those so-called rumors.

These rumors have made her already bad reputation even worse.

"As for why he restricted me, it might be because he was afraid that I would do something that would ruin his plan." Fugate curled his lips and said, "I am not the same kind of person as those people who have big plans in their heads."

His biggest plan was his own resurrection ceremony, and the resurrection ceremony and the final deification ceremony were just incidental.

He just didn't want to waste the energy accumulated in his body, but now the ceremony was interrupted. However, Fuget had no intention of revenge.

On the one hand, he couldn't beat him, and on the other hand, he really had no intention of revenge. After all, the other party didn't directly interrupt his ritual to prevent him from resurrecting, but modified the ritual to allow him to resurrect early.

Although due to the interruption of the ceremony, Fuget's recovery was getting slower and slower, and he had been in the Buffati Mansion for nearly a year before his strength recovered to LV63.

But in fact, Fuget is not weak. After all, Fuget still has psychic power and elements to use, and these abilities combined are at the level of an ordinary local legend.

However, because there are high-risk people around him, Fugate feels very insecure.

However, Fuget was too lazy to train and improve himself under the influence of the void, which was really a dilemma. Alechino was still very busy, and hurried away with the [Fire in a Bottle] potion.

Fugate had no intention of staying in the mansion, so he followed him out.

However, Alecino went outside the city to deal with the betrayer and test the effect of [Fire in the Bottle].

Fugate went to the city, he wanted to take a good stroll around the area.

"Fontaine is really prosperous." Fugett sighed while eating bubble oranges, "There are clockwork devices everywhere on the street."

"Hmm~ What are all those people doing over there?"

When Fuget found a lot of people gathered together, he went over to watch the fun. It was human nature.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show of magician Cesar," the host of the venue said through a megaphone.

"Tonight, the great magician Cesar, who invented the high-altitude escape trick, and his magician assistant Lorenzo will bring you a wonderful magic show."

Fugate looked at the few people, then found a good place and pushed away the people around him.

"So those two kids are working here." Fuget touched his chin.

He looked at Linny and Linnet.

They looked like a poor magic troupe, and the magician's assistant named Lorenzo didn't look good.

However, the magician named Cesar has a very positive aura and should be a good person, but Fugate's prophecy has already foreshadowed the tragic fate he will face in the future.

Good people are destined to have a bad death, and this is the reality in Teyvat.

"It's so sad." Fugate was deeply moved as he watched the wonderful magic on the stage.

During the performance, there was an interactive session between the magician and the audience. Because of its advantageous geographical location, Fugate was also invited to the stage to interact with the magician.

Although Fugate was able to crack his opponent's techniques, he was also surprised by his opponent's superb performance.

This guy seems to really like magic, and his hand speed has even exceeded the limit of mortal eyes, so he can perform all kinds of magic that seem incredible.

Fgate could crack his opponent's tactics, but he wouldn't do that. All he had to do was appreciate them.

After the Magic ended, Forget also gave Mora a tip. Although he was not the biggest sponsor of the night, he was definitely among the top.

As for salary and the like... Colonel Fuget, [Fuzhu], is a scientific researcher among the [Faints]. His salary is not high, but there is research funding, but that needs to be applied for. Fuget is too lazy to deal with all this, so the Mora rewarded is basically earned by Fuget himself using alchemical potions.

As for research funds, they had already been given to Arecino to fill the funding gap of the Buffati Mansion.

Thanks to the Gray River area of ​​Fontaine City, the sewer area is really a breeding ground for dark industries. Fugate took a few orders for high-risk alchemical potions there and made money.

As for what the potion was used for, Fuget didn't care. However, from the vague reports of poisoning cases, it was not difficult for Fuget to guess who bought his alchemical potion.

After the tour, Fuget went to Black River again. There were not only various poor people here, but also interesting guys. Fuget even found a few wild psychics here a few times before.

However, Fugate, who had just entered the Gray River, frowned.

Because several strong men in black suits surrounded Fugate from the front, back, left and right.

"What are you going to do?" Fuget asked curiously.

These guys were so weak that their psychic energy didn't even bother to give Forget a warning.

"Are you the alchemist Nathan Rice? The guy who sells a large amount of contraband and high-risk alchemical potions in Gray River?" A sturdy man said, "In the name of Kares, the president of the Thorn Rose Society, I declare that you are arrested. You will be transferred to the Law Enforcement Court and will face multiple charges."

"The Thorn Rose Society, the controllers of Gray River and White Pine Town, a... boring little organization and a group of boring people." Fugate said to himself.

At this time, several men in black suits had already pounced towards Fugate.

As he said this, he raised his eyebrows, and all the men in black suits who were coming towards Fugate suddenly shook their bodies and then fell down.

This is psychic shock. Although it cannot deal with those perverts, it can really be called a miraculous effect when dealing with these ordinary people in front of us.

It shocks the cerebellum, disrupts the body's balance, and the smallest force can achieve the greatest effect.

Fgate continued to raise his foot and was about to leave, but what he didn't expect was that the strong man who called himself Cares actually struggled to get up from the ground.

Fugate ignored it, but Carres asked: "Why did a big shot like you come to Gray River..."

"Because it's interesting." Fuget said, "If we add a little bit of variables to the fight between ants, the conspiracy will ferment faster..."

"It would be a beautiful thing to let their souls drown together in the power of Ix in the end."

Fugate did not stop, but Cares could no longer hold on and fell to the ground again.

After more than half an hour, the effect of the psychic shock completely disappeared, and everyone climbed up one after another.

"President." Everyone looked at Cares. "What should we do about this?"

Carres was silent for a moment and said, "Report it to the Law Enforcement Court and Momang Palace. This matter is no longer something that the Thorn Rose Society can handle."

Although he was unwilling, Cares knew that it was impossible for him to deal with such a powerful person with his own abilities.

And that temperament... is very much like that of a scholar, and also like that of a warrior, a little decadent but also a little harmonious... In short, it's okay if you don't look closely, but if you look closely, he looks like a big boss.

Cares is not a weakling, he is also a warrior who can skillfully use a greatsword to fight. Not only is he the president of the Thorn Rose Society, Cares is also a nobleman and a businessman. His level is also assessed as LV54, making him a rare strong man.

Otherwise there wouldn’t be such a big industry.

Fuget didn't care about what happened behind him. In the entire Fontaine, as long as Fuget didn't commit a crime in front of a Dragon King, basically nothing would happen.

After all, there are indeed a few people who are as strong as Fontaine and Fugate, but there are only two or three who can defeat Fugate, a certain dragon king, the [Water God] Fucaros, and the [Servant] Alechino.

Even the dragon lizard prince Skurafgate was not taken seriously.

Perhaps the Dragon Lizard Prince Scylla is much stronger than Fuget, but he cannot keep Fuget. After all, the current Dragon Lizard Prince Scylla is an incomplete life.

Fuget has more than two hundred ways to deal with this kind of existence. Fuget handed a few bottles of potions with an ominous smell to the middlemen in the black market.

"I guess you don't want to confirm the effectiveness of this potion." asked Fugate.

The middleman swallowed his saliva and said, "Of course, Master Nathan Rice's name has been very famous recently."

The middleman takes the money immediately.

Fuget was not in disguise or anything, which was why the people from the Thorn Rose Society were able to find Fuget easily before. On the one hand, Fuget was too lazy to hide, and on the other hand, he didn't take the black market seriously at all.

The manager of this black market was naturally aware of this matter, so he almost responded to all of Fuget's requests.

"By the way, do you have any channels at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences? I am somewhat interested in the research of the Origin of Force." Fuget said, "I wonder if you can contact them."

"Mr. Nathan Rice, you also know that this is a black market. Do you think we have the power to do that?" the middleman said with a wry smile.

"That is to say, we can only exist because those nobles and businessmen above us need us to exist, but in the final analysis, we are just their gloves."

"Only the people in the Thorn Rose Society are better."

"Is that so? Forget it then." Fuget took the purse with regret, and after tossing it twice he roughly knew how much Mora was in it.

"It seems that the customer this time is very generous."

"After all, we are looking for you to order custom-made high-end potions. By the way, I wonder if Mr. Nathan Rice will accept orders for regular high-end alchemical potions." asked the middleman.

"Oh? What are the orders?" Fugate asked curiously.

"They are all high-level alchemical potions for treatment, detoxification and physical enhancement." The middleman handed the list to Fugate.

Fugate didn't hesitate to take the list and started looking at it.

"I'll take the orders for these potions. Don't bother me with the others. I can find some mediocre people (formal alchemists) to handle them." Fugate took over all the rarer alchemical potions.

There were several potions that Fuget had never even heard of, some for expelling curses, and some for strengthening training effects.

Moreover, they are all very suitable for the Fontaine region, and judging from the names of the medicinal herbs, they seem to have been invented not long ago.

Of course, the reason why Fugate was interested in these alchemical potions was that he was unclear about their principles.

Compared to the widely circulated recipes on the mainland, these alchemical potions probably came from the so-called secret schools, or were developed by wild alchemists due to accidental inspiration, but because later generations could not reach the alchemical level of their predecessors, they were eventually lost.

This was what Fugate determined after carefully studying the alchemical potion formula provided by the customer.

So Fugget left, satisfied.

Or take the original route.

Shortly after Fugate left, a team of humans from the Law Enforcement Court and Officer Melusin arrived here.

"How can we find that crazy guy?" asked a police officer named Ograo.

However, the Meilushin officers were running around in confusion.

Just when Ograo was about to ask for the second time, the Melusin officers stopped.

After a few whispered words, one of them, Meilushin, looked at the human police officers and said, "Well, this is a very troublesome situation. We didn't see any traces."

"How is that possible? I can see the footprints." Ograo couldn't help but ask.

"But that's the fact," said Officer Melusin. "In our opinion, those footprints don't look like they were stepped on. Instead, they look like they grew out of the stone."

"We also know that this is very incredible, so we checked it carefully."

"There is nothing here except the traces of those thorn roses falling."

"We will hand this matter over to the Shadow Chasing Court. It seems that only Ou Feini is qualified for this job. I hope she can find out something."

Melusin and the others even saw Kares get up and say something to the air.

But to be more specific, I can't see anything, as if it doesn't exist.

This kind of thing has actually happened a few times recently, but those were all murder cases, and the murderers all died of suicide in the end.

Fugate's potion is not so easy to get.

When these potions are used maliciously, the power of nothingness belonging to Fuget will come to you. This is also one of the abilities Fuget gains after choosing nothingness as his external appearance.

Fuget was able to share the Ix erosion he was enduring by using the power of nothingness.

Although Fuget is now able to destroy himself one day every seven days due to the power of the anchoring ritual, the overly powerful force has also caused him to be eroded more severely.

Existence is like a circle, and nothingness is like everything outside the circle. The stronger the existence, the bigger the circle, and the more nothingness you face.

The erosion that Fuget faced was not what his outward strength showed. This erosion was based on Fuget's essence that was comparable to that of a demon.

Even if it was only a part of it, it was still quite heavy for those mortals, and basically they did not survive the third day.

Most of them committed suicide on the same day, and the rest could only hold on for a few more hours before falling into a state of self-destruction without any pain or even any perception, and then died.

Then Forget could relax for a while.

······
"Speaking of which, there has been a strange thief named [Mite] appearing recently. Do you know about this?" Fuget shared interesting anecdotes from the street with Xiamian and Alechino.

As for why these three people got together, it was naturally because the subspace teleportation technology had made certain progress, and Xia Mian also learned subspace teleportation, and then came here.

Anyway, Xumi had nothing to do recently, and she was very interested in Fuget's current working environment, so she came here. By the way, she planned to study alchemy with Fuget so that her own alchemy could reach Fuget's current level.

The essence of Hermanubis has a bonus to alchemy.

Xiamian felt that she might be able to break through the so-called limit earlier than Fuget because she herself possessed the so-called opportunity (the power of Hermanubis).

Of course, it is impossible to reach [Gold] Rhinedort. After all, Hermanubis himself has not reached that level. At most, Hermanubis has reached the level of a demon god in alchemy.

Otherwise, he would not be called the most virtuous of all virtuous people.

As for Alechino, she came to contact Xiamian.

After all, Chamian is a master who is no weaker than Arlecchino. He is even better than Arlecchino in protracted battles, and is no weaker than Arlecchino in explosive power.

Of course, Xiamian didn't come to join the Fatui.

She was just a figurehead in the Buffati Mansion.

Mainly studying alchemy with Fuget.

"Don't worry about them, they are just thieves. I believe those thieves will not come to the Buffati Mansion." Arlecino said, "After all, people who hang around in the gray area know whose territory this is." Arlecino said, "Spiders that weave webs love snacks that are delivered to their doorsteps the most."

"Since you are so confident..." Fugate said with his shoulders raised.

"If you're worried, why don't you use prophecy to find it out directly?" asked Xia Mian.

"She is just a mortal." Fugate said, "Even if I don't predict the future, I can tell from astrology that this thief is a woman."

"Hmm~ According to the feedback from the astrological chart, she is still a relatively beautiful woman in the conventional sense."

After saying this, Fugate had even less interest in exploration.

"No wonder I heard that most of the lost items were gold, silver and jewelry that were difficult to sell. I knew..."
