Xiao Yu’s proud attitude was taken as rude by Master Higgins . Moreover, he was introduced to Xiao Yu by Alma and Xiao Yu didn’t owe him anything . Then why was this small lord so kind to him?
Nevertheless, Higgins didn’t say anything anymore . He had a stubborn temper and he would freak out and challenge the opposite person no matter what the other party’s identity was . As a result, he had offended a lot of people . This lord was being polite and acting domineering at the same time . Higgins was aware that this lord was polite out of kindness not out of fear . Higgins knew that there was an army of enemy approaching to the Lion city but Xiao Yu had completely ignored them and personally attending to Higgins’s needs .
Xiao Yu was aware that if he didn’t personally led Higgins something may go wrong and the master could go back . The arrival of Higgins was a once in a lifetime chance that he could let go off . Moreover, the dragon had reached the third-rank which meant that its combat capabilities had increased too . The enemy had many powerful magicians by their side but Xiao Yu had many hidden trump cards too . At this point, it seemed impossible that the enemy would be able to enter the Lion city and destroy his rule .
…
…
The new warehouse of the Lion city was built by Xiao Yu . Recently he had amassed a lot of good things so he couldn’t fit them to the old warehouse . Moreover, these new treasures were mostly priceless .
The guard of the warehouse respectfully greeted them when he saw Xiao Yu and others come there . The guard went to find Housekeeper Hong afterwards as the key to the warehouse was kept personally by Housekeeper Hong .
Old Hong was much diligent and dedicated towards these things in comparison to Xiao Yu . Moreover Housekeeper Hong was more stingy than anyone Xiao Yu had ever met . It would be impossible to take a thing from this warehouse .
It didn’t take long for Housekeeper Hong to arrive .
“Master, who are they?” Housekeeper Hong was already vigilant when he saw some people by Xiao Yu’s side . Moreover, Housekeeper Hong kept care of everything within the warehouse as if they were his babies . He wasn’t going to allow Xiao Yu to casually ‘throw’ them away .
Xiao Yu smiled: “Uncle, he is not an outsider . Master alchemist Higgins is friend of Master Alma . ”
Housekeeper Hong nodded and took out a chain of keys . He fiddled for a long time to find the right keys and open the warehouse . The doors to the warehouse were opened and a lot of neat rows of shelves were seen . Everything was neatly placed on the rows of shelves . It was all done by Housekeeper Hong . Normally, Xiao Yu would just throw things inside the warehouse but Housekeeper Hong would bring people to pack everything in order . Otherwise, you wouldn’t seen neat rows of shelves but a massive hill .
Master Higgins was quite dissatisfied with the expression on Housekeeper Hong’s face at first . It was like Housekeeper Hong was looking at thieves . But he understood everything once the door opened up . You would look at everyone as if they were a thief if you had such a warehouse .
Master Higgins subconsciously walked in . His legs weren’t listening to commands from his brain . As an alchemist he had seen a lot of good materials but the sight in front of him was from some other world . The things inside this warehouse could be found nowhere in the continent but in this warehouse . Xiao Yu had brought a lot of things from the Undercity . Although these things belonged to the decline of the Undercity but they were top quality materials . In addition, Xiao Yu had stolen everything from Red Beard which Touba Gui had put decades of effort to amass . As a result, even the largest auction house in the continent couldn’t have materials and treasures that Xiao Yu had .
Master Higgins’s hands were trembling as he was shocked . He looked one by one the names of the materials and began to grab them . He didn’t put them back on shelves as if these materials would disappear the moment they left his arm .
Housekeeper Hong was more determined that this old man wasn’t a good ‘seed’ . He was about to scold the old man when Xiao Yu shook his head . Xiao Yu whispered in his heart: “Since master doesn’t desire to leave then I must retain him…” Xiao Yu was more confident of this idea as he he master Higgins grab things with one arm and keep things on his other arm .
Master Higgins couldn’t hold on anymore: “Isn’t this… Arcane Dust?… Runes… . Flame essence?”
Xiao Yu smiled after looking at Master Higgins for half an hour: “Master, is the materials in here enough for you?”
“Yes…More than enough . . In fact, I had come over to buy Arcane Dust but there are so many things in here…” Master Higgins almost drooled over . The most important thing for an alchemist were materials . How could an alchemist rank up if there were no experiments? The reason for alchemists to be so rare were the costs of the profession .
The achievements of master Higgins was at the limit . He knew that to continue with the experiments he had to buy materials or exchange them with money . This meant that he would have less time for experiments while he had to spend more time to acquire materials .
“Master Higgins, don’t be so kind . . You are friend of Master Alma so you are my friend too . Everything that is here is yours too . ” Xiao Yu waved his hand .
“Cough … IT’s just… These things are too expensive… I don’t have the money to buy them… But… I could reach fifth-rank if I could do tests for another year… . ” Master Higgins’s eyes were shining as he looked at the warehouse full of materials .
“It’s not a problem… If you want to do experiments then do them . . I’ll set up an alchemy room for you in a day and you can use everything in here for your tests . . You just tell us what you need and I’ll prepare everything for you . ” Xiao Yu looked at Master Higgins . He knew that the alchemist was hooked .
“Are you saying that you are willing to give me all the materials for my tests?” Master Higgins couldn’t stop sane anymore .
Xiao Yu raised up his chin: “I told you that the moment I saw you I felt that we were destined to be friends . . Take whatever you want…”
“No… These things are way too expensive… ” As a master alchemist Higgins was aware more than anyone the price of the materials in the warehouse . In fact, Higgins knew that he wouldn’t be able to gather so many precious materials in one place during all his life .
Xiao Yu sighed: “Master Higgins, don’t worry… Everything is for you to use as long as I AM the lord of the Lion territory . You should rest for a day now . . There is a strong enemy trying to attack me territory so I have to set up a city defense now… ”
“What! Who dares to attack you? who?” Master Higgins jumped up . Xiao Yu had promised everything to him right now . What would happen if the territory changed hands? Would anyone be as generous as Xiao Yu? At the moment, his and Xiao Yu’s fates were tied together .
Xiao Yu helplessly shook his head: “A while ago I offended a big enemy . . They are very powerful and have many high-rank mages . . They even have lots of mechanical puppets . They will take away everything if I can’t block their attack… Anyway… These are my gifts to you so you shouldn’t be concerned… ”
Higgins raised his eyebrows: “Arrogant pricks! Who are they to dare to attack you? Mechanical puppets… Stfu! We will get around them… An alchemist is equal to 100 mages on the same rank . . We have materials now . . Let them come!”
Xiao Yu had learned about master Higgins from Master Alma . He was aware of Higgins’s temperament and attitude . He was deliberately trying to fire the arrogant side of Higgins and he had succeeded . It was no exaggeration that an alchemist on the same rank was equal to 100 mages . As long as there were materials then the alchemist could make tons of things . Who could be their opponent at that time?
