Chapter 148 Blockade
The reason why Roland was able to come in the name of the Inquisition was naturally because the leader of the Radiant Knights personally visited the Ginza Inquisition, used connections, followed procedures, and quietly applied for it.
After all, Ms. Dawn is also one of the main gods of the Pantheon. In the Pantheon, there is no department that does not have believers of Ms. Dawn. Even the Inquisition is the same. It can be approved by using some connections.
Roland squatted down and stretched out his right hand towards the channel that was constantly draining the alchemical waste water. Powerful magic power surged out from Roland's hand, wrapping around the channel and continuously spreading inward.
Following the complex underground passages inside the alchemy workshops, Roland locked onto one alchemy workshop after another that was discharging wastewater wantonly.
In less than ten minutes, Roland identified all the alchemy workshops in the workshop area that were illegally discharging wastewater. There were only less than ten workshops that did not violate the law, and the rest were basically illegally discharging through this largest channel.
No, a purification array that costs less than a hundred gold coins, is it that expensive for an alchemy workshop?
Roland stood up with a dark face.
At the same time, the real members of the Inquisition also moved into the industrial zone in batches. After Roland turned around and handed them the list of violations, the chief judge glanced at it, frowned, and then simply ignored it.
He turned around and gave instructions to the members around him.
"Surround the entire workshop area. No one is allowed to leave without my order."
Then the presiding judge looked at Roland again and said.
"I'll trouble you with what happens next."
Roland nodded slightly and said.
"I will not let them repeat what happened over the past thirty years."
After saying that, Roland walked into the nearest alchemy workshop with a cold face.
Alchemy is a craft that places special emphasis on inheritance and requires a lot of resources and time to practice.
Compared to the Tower of Truth, the spellcasters who work together to conduct school research, and the knights who develop in a scattered and barbaric manner, the alchemists form a small circle with extremely high barriers to entry and extreme exclusivity. They pay great attention to the inheritance of teachers and students, and the number of people rarely fluctuates.
Therefore, under the monopoly of a small circle, alchemists are even rarer than spellcasters.
In addition, even some wild alchemists will be excluded by the entire circle no matter how good their alchemy skills are unless they are recommended by people in the circle.
In a situation where a small circle controls the right to interpret alchemy, if one is not accepted by the circle, it means that no matter how good one's product is, it is just a three-no product and can only be sold privately on a small scale. Not only will one not make money, but one may also be attacked and arrested.
And if they are accepted by the circle, even if their product is rubbish, has poor effects, or even has side effects, they can still be labeled and sold openly.
Of course, this small circle would only bully alchemists without any background.
Alchemists like those trained by the Silver Family themselves, or alchemists with school backgrounds who lived in the Tower of Truth, were too lazy to pay attention to them.
In short, due to the small circle habits and mutual protection, no alchemist was willing to come forward to help testify.
In addition, the Radiant Knights have no law enforcement power and cannot continue to forcibly block the workshop area, giving the alchemists the opportunity to disguise and clean up.
Therefore, more than 30 years ago, the Radiant Knights were unable to arrest them legally and legally because they could not prove that the alchemical wastewater was harmful to the human body. But this time it was different.
Although Roland was not a particularly famous alchemist in his previous life, and he could only drink but not refine the alchemical potions with incredible effects in the later stages of the game, he did learn a little bit and could be considered a great alchemist.
It was easy for him to extract evidence from the alchemy workshop.
As for how to prove the authenticity of the evidence and the harmfulness of various alchemical potions and alchemical wastewater, Roland also has plenty of ways to do it.
In addition, after the old leader mobilized his own connections, the attitude of Ms. Dawn's faction within the Inquisition was also quite resolute. Taking the order of the Inquisition, they openly blocked the entire workshop area.
You know, even though legal means didn't work well back then, the Radiant Knights still took on a lot of pressure and managed to destroy and kill many alchemists.
This time, with sufficient evidence, Roland and the old leader of the Radiant Knights are going to strike a heavy blow against the entire alchemist circle.
While everything was developing smoothly according to plan, the forces in Ginza that had a vested interest in the alchemy workshop could no longer sit still.
Can this alchemy workshop be shut down? Do you know how much money they will lose if they shut down for one day?
After they received the news that Roland was coming to mess things up, almost all the stakeholders were furious.
Who on earth dared to cut off our source of income?
Although the Inquisition is extremely powerful, you, an unknown member of the Inquisition, dare to challenge us with a few knights? You are courting death!
Just when they were planning to use their connections to let Roland know that Ginza was not a place where he could act recklessly.
More and more news reached their ears.
For example: the knights that Roland brought were all members of the Order of the Radiant Knights, and not long after Roland entered the workshop area, a tribunal brigade of several hundred people, led by the chief judge, blocked and controlled the entire workshop area. At the same time, the tribunal also issued a notice to combat the three evil potions and protect believers, openly and covertly pointing the spearhead at the alchemists and their alchemy workshops with chaotic management and messy products.
In addition, the old leader of the Radiant Knights, wearing holy armor and holding a holy spear, surrounded the alchemists' headquarters with a group of elite knights. He blocked the door with murderous intent, forcing the alchemists to not dare to go out. Or perhaps it was the news from the Tower of Truth that Roland was suspected to be a high-level spellcaster.
After these news reached their ears, many forces calmed down all of a sudden, and the eyes of those who were furious and wanted to deal with Roland suddenly became clear.
This time it's not just the Radiant Knights that are affected, there's also the Inquisition. Moreover, Roland is a high-level spellcaster and is not easy to deal with. There's no need for him to go against them just for a little profit from the workshop.
Some forces that were not closely involved with the workshop did not want to get involved in all this, and decisively abandoned their interests in the workshop and cleaned up some areas that might be affected.
However, the main stakeholders of the alchemy workshop and the alchemists would not give up so easily.
For them, the alchemy workshop is a very important pillar of their industry. If it is gone, their income will be cut significantly.
Moreover, even if they were willing to give up the interests of the Alchemy Workshop, the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition would not let them go just like that.
The former had tried to kill their entire family more than 30 years ago, and as for the latter, the Inquisition would never show mercy to their enemies, even those who surrendered.
So, they can only bite the bullet and try to fight back, hoping for a good ending like it did more than 30 years ago.
From eight in the morning to ten at night, for three days in a row, I'm numb.
