This last point is the most troublesome.
Judging from the cases of Tyrant Luther, Nicholas, and Richard, the Lord of the Abyss's habitual tactic is to constantly amplify the desires of a key figure, thereby inciting them to cause destruction to the continent of Dimensions.
Since Red Moon City, Moonflower City, and Jade City have all shown unusual signs, Alchemy City must be no exception.
Yun Wei and Isaac need to identify the "pawn" chosen by the Lord of the Abyss in Alchemy City as soon as possible without alerting the enemy.
For a moment, the laboratory fell silent.
“I’m even tempted to guess that it’s Governor Haines of Alchemy City.” Yun Wei broke the silence, put the chalk back in the box, and then manipulated the water element to clean up the marks on the blackboard.
He shrugged and said disdainfully, "Thanks to the Liujin family, I've been working like a donkey in the lab these past few days, so naturally I'm full of prejudice against them."
Isaac, who had been looking serious, suddenly laughed upon hearing this. "Are you trying to charm me?"
Yun Wei was immediately taken aback; what did this have to do with anything?
Isaac touched his nose and looked away. "Well, after all, the Gilded House is a direct vassal of the Temu Browne House. However, I haven't made up my mind to ascend the throne yet, so your words of advice won't work for now."
Yun Wei: "..."
Well, he didn't even know he had the potential to be a troublemaker.
At the same time, he keenly noticed that Isaac seemed to have quietly changed his attitude toward regaining control of the continent.
However, being interrupted by the other party did indeed ease his heavy mood considerably.
Yun Wei pondered for a while before finally confessing, "Actually... I'm mainly worried about hurting Xi De. Although Xi De says he has no feelings for the Liujin family, we are, after all, outsiders."
Only those involved truly know Sid's attitude towards the Liujin family.
His biggest worry was that if the Liujin family really had something to do with the Abyss, then Sid's position would be extremely important.
As for Xi De himself, Yun Wei was quite at ease.
If that ugly tentacle monster dared to approach the knowledge-thirsty alchemist, it would surely be dismembered and sent to the laboratory for dissection and research without hesitation.
He was lost in thought when Isaac hugged him from behind.
The other person said, "Yun, I have an idea. I want to disguise myself as an apprentice and infiltrate the alchemy workshop of the 'Hand of the God of Magic'."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei instinctively wanted to retort, but the words caught in his throat.
Isaac can now shapeshift and also knows some basic level 1 spells...
He was indeed the best candidate to infiltrate that alchemy workshop.
However, Yun Wei was still somewhat uneasy.
He turned around and said seriously, "Then you must be careful. No matter what, Issa, your safety must be the top priority, even if it means alerting the enemy."
Seeing that Isaac's collar was a little disheveled, Yun Wei straightened it for him.
Honestly, he was reluctant to let Isaac act alone.
But his Asian features are indeed too striking.
Looking back now, it's possible that from the moment he entered the Alchemy City, countless eyes were already secretly watching him.
Moreover, Sid's alchemy laboratory does indeed need someone to guard it.
Seeing Yun Wei's seriousness, Isaac wanted to tease him.
But when his gaze fell on the other person's hand, which was wrapped in black cloth, he suddenly fell silent.
He solemnly nodded to his sworn master and lover, silently vowing in his heart that he would never let Yun Wei be sad again.
"Oh right, I need to check if Sid left me a message today." Yun Wei suddenly noticed the notepad next to him, so he quickly took out the conch shell.
If Sid has already left him a message, it means Sid has heard his previous message, so he can confidently leave a new one.
After all, this is a relatively immature invention, and only through this kind of back-and-forth communication can we ensure that previous information is not overwritten.
He winked mischievously at Isaac, who was looking at him, and slowly channeled magic into the conch shell in his palm.
However, Yun Wei's expression changed after hearing just the first few words.
Sid left a message saying:
“Shhh…Bethlehem…here…an outbreak…shhh…a plague…”
Even after he had listened carefully to what Sid had to say, his expression remained very serious.
Although Sid also said in the comments that it was a piece of cake for him, Yun Wei still couldn't help but worry.
Keep in mind that this is an extremely backward medieval area.
Hopefully, Sid's expertise in potions can truly turn the tide.
"So, let's not tell Sid about the mechs for now." Yun Wei couldn't help but sigh. The whole thing was already a long story, and telling him now would only add to his troubles and distract him.
Isaac gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder and said, "Don't you think the timing is too perfect?"
Yun Wei was a little confused: "What do you mean? Wait a minute, Isa, let's go upstairs first."
He gestured to Isaac, indicating that he should put the wooden crate away first, and the two of them could go back to their room to talk.
He was truly exhausted after everything that had happened today.
And it was only after he had sprawled out on the large bed, completely disregarding his image, and was enjoying the "royal massage," that Isaac said:
"I just had a fleeting thought. Yun, have you ever considered what the Zhuyuan Continent would be like now if you hadn't appeared there?"
Yun Wei froze instantly.
His arrival on the Continent of Elements was a carefully planned scheme by Alch.
Although he was unaware of the cause and effect of the matter.
However, he was told by the other party that he must not tell anyone this secret.
But at this moment, Yun Wei knew that his strange behavior just now could not have escaped Isaac's keen perception.
However, before he could even come up with an excuse, Isaac had already started talking to himself:
"First, I will remain slumbering in the 'Coffin of Immortality,' or perhaps, as you said, I will be stolen directly by that Abyss Apostle, die in the abyss, or suffer a fate worse than death."
"Then, the people in the academy still could not solve the trial of the Tower of All Laws. Even if Richard was not bewitched by the abyss, when the zombies besieged the city, the destruction of Moonflower City was only a matter of moments."
"As for Sid, I don't know what happened at the academy... but I'm pretty sure that if we hadn't gotten to Alchemy City in time, he definitely wouldn't have been able to go back to Bethlehem with Silver so easily."
"In the end, either Silver was driven out of the house and swallowed up by this man-eating city, or when they finally returned to Bethlehem, they only saw the devastation left by the plague."
Isaac's description was just... a little too vivid.
Yun Wei couldn't help but shiver.
But he knew perfectly well that this was probably the case.
But the fatalistic pronouncements would strip away the sense of reality he relied on for survival, so Yunwei had to interrupt her boyfriend's brilliant speech.
He laughed nonchalantly, then rubbed his chin against the pillow and asked, "What's this? You think I'm your savior?"
"No, I just want to say how lucky I am to have finally met you." Isaac finally couldn't hold back any longer and forcefully pulled his master, who was lying beneath him, into his arms.
He greedily inhaled the warm, intoxicating scent of life emanating from the other's neck, his Adam's apple bobbing as he whispered:
"Relax, Yun, there's still time."
