Chapter 150 The Alchemist's Struggle

"boom."

An alchemist slammed his right fist on the table and shouted to the other alchemists around him.

"Didn't we have a huge advantage and could draw the nobles to our side? How did we drag the entire Inquisition into this?!"

"It's fine to drag the Inquisition into this, but what about the nobles? Where's their support?"

He threw the pen in his hand on the table and shouted loudly.

"After working so hard for so long and spending so much money, what's the result? All they did was to bring in a bunch of useless people who just eat for free and can't even lift the blockade of the workshop!"

Although the city defense army was pushed to the side of the alchemists, it did not mean that the nobles would support them. After all, they were not fools. How could they really go against the Inquisition without any benefits? As for the heirs in the city defense army, it was easy. They could just find an excuse to transfer them out of Ginza or just ask for leave.

If the court of justice had not ended all of it, they would not mind buying a good deal and saying a few harmless words.

However, after rumors spread and the Inquisition really came to an end, they would not really go against the Inquisition just for a group of alchemists.

Thinking back to the polite rejections he had received from the nobles he had befriended in the past, he gnashed his teeth in anger.

When I first came to ask for alchemy potions, he said a lot of nice things, but when I really wanted help, he wasn't even willing to say a word.

Humph, do you really think I'm going to lose this time?

In his heart he cursed those heartless nobles.

As for the fact that these nobles had all been cheated out of a large sum of money by him when they came to him for medicine, he chose to ignore it.

After swearing a few times in venting anger, he looked at the other alchemists in the room and spoke in a serious tone.

"Tell me, what should we do next?"

The other alchemists in the room looked at each other in silence.

Although the circle of alchemists is relatively wealthy thanks to their semi-monopoly on alchemical potions.

Moreover, relying on the various connections he has accumulated, alchemists can also obtain many conveniences in Ginza on a daily basis.

However, if compared with the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition, they have almost no advantage.

In terms of wealth, they are richer than the Radiant Knights.

Although the Radiant Knights have many manors, lands, various workshops, and caravans all over the Silver Empire.

However, most of them are difficult to save, and are basically invested in the operation of the Knights Templar and charity work.

Although they earn a lot, they also spend a lot, and the funds they can control are generally not as much as those of alchemists.

However, if they take into account the huge behemoth that is the Inquisition, they are completely no match for it.

As for their connections, well, they used to be able to rely on their monopoly, but they cheated a lot of people.

Although these people smile on their faces, it is hard to say what they are thinking in their hearts.

If it's something that's icing on the cake, they don't mind helping.

However, under the current circumstances, except for a few forces with common interests, others will have to make sacrifices if they want them to help.

If the meat needs to be cut, who will do it?

Thinking of this, the alchemists in the room all looked unhappy.

"Speak, weren't you quite talkative before? Are you mute now?"

The alchemist who led the meeting scolded.

When no one spoke, he looked around the room and began to call the roll.

"Louis, please say a few words first."

Louis, who was named, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pointed at himself. The alchemists around him quickly spread out, and in the blink of an eye, an open space appeared around him.

"Don't be in a daze, I'm talking about you." The leading alchemist shouted.

"Think of a way to kill Roland for me."

"Ah? I hit Roland? Is that true?"

Hearing his words, Louis' eyes widened, his tone full of disbelief.

Although he usually likes to talk big, he still has some ideas.

As a weak alchemist, he couldn't even defeat a fourth-level spellcaster, let alone Roland, who was suspected to be a high-level spellcaster.

I guess one high-level spell would kill him on the spot.

Louis began to sweat a little as the other alchemists in the room looked on.

He opened his mouth, trying to change the subject.

"I think we should pay more attention to the problem of the Tribunal. Wasn't there someone before?"

"It failed. After the rumor started, the Inquisition unilaterally refused to talk."

An alchemist interrupted Louis.

"Well, I think maybe we can give it another try. It's impossible for all factions to reject it, right?"

Louis looked at everyone and said somewhat dryly.

Just as Louis made the somewhat awkward suggestion, a first-level alchemist suddenly burst into the room.

"Oh no! New news! The inquisition has reached a conclusion!"

Before anyone in the room could scold the alchemist who broke in, his panicked voice echoed throughout the room.

"What?! Say it again!"

The leading alchemist shouted in shock.

After hearing his words, the alchemist who came to deliver the message took a deep breath and repeated what he had just said.

At the same time, he handed over the new information in his hand and said.

"This is the latest news received."

The leading alchemist quickly took the message and began to read it quickly.

As he flipped through the pages, his expression became increasingly uglier.

"boom!"

After reading it, he slammed the report on the table and roared angrily.

"Damn it, do you really think we're easy to bully? With such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death?"

As he angrily cursed the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition, the other alchemists in the room gathered around the table and read the new information on it.

While they were dithering to find a solution, the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition quickly went through a series of procedures.

The Inquisition rendered its verdict without their knowledge at all.

All alchemy workshops in the workshop area pose serious threats to the health and lives of Pantheon believers.

The evidence is as follows: using inferior materials, concealing the side effects of alchemical potions, and the effects are different from the publicity.
After comprehensive consideration by the Tribunal, the verdict is as follows: confiscate all alchemy workshops and all related industries, and sentence the relevant personnel to one to several decades in prison, or death penalty.
There is a lot of content, but to put it simply, the Inquisition requires them to hand over all alchemy workshops and all supporting industries and workers, hand over all alchemy drawings, and pay a huge amount of compensation.

The few dozen or so named will be imprisoned for several years, and the two most serious ones will be executed.

If all of these were implemented, their circle of alchemists could simply announce its dissolution.
