Chapter 153 New Alchemy Workshop

In fact, the reason why the Inquisition has been arguing with the alchemists is to buy time for the East District Alchemy Workshop to be established and started.

As alchemists re-recruited employees, sent out apprentices, and prepared to take some time to reopen their own alchemy workshops.

In almost every district of Ginza, some shops have changed their signs, and some cheap handicrafts and alchemical potions that are lower than the market price have quietly entered the market.

This is a new chamber of commerce registered by the Radiant Knights, the Inquisition, and Roland.

The Radiant Knights are responsible for the daily operations of the Chamber of Commerce and the expansion and management of the Alchemy Workshop.

The Inquisition acts as a backer to protect the safety of the alchemy workshop and the Chamber of Commerce and eliminate the prying eyes of outside forces.

Roland provided a large amount of initial capital and served as a technical expert, handling and solving the technical problems encountered by the alchemy workshop.

According to the agreement, the Chamber of Commerce's income will be mainly managed by the Radiant Knights and used for charity, while Roland and the Inquisition will be responsible for supervision and take a small portion of the income.

Originally, the old leader planned to let Roland take the lion's share. After all, it was Roland who provided the huge amount of funds to build the alchemy workshop, and he was also the one who taught the most important alchemy process.

However, Roland was not short of worldly money, so he rejected the old leader's suggestion and gave most of his income to the Knights of Radiance for charity, and only took a small amount for himself to meet his daily expenses.

As for the Inquisition, they also gave up the Chamber of Commerce's income in exchange for the support of the Radiant Knights and obtained complete law enforcement authority in the East District.

At the beginning, the products put on the shelves of the Chamber of Commerce store did not cause any waves.

It was not until the various Knights’ Orders, the Inquisition, and even some Pantheon departments in Ginza suddenly changed the supplier of alchemical potions and placed huge orders from this new Chamber of Commerce that the various forces in Ginza realized the existence of these cheap products.

Afterwards, spies from various forces came to each newly opened store and bought a copy of all the alchemical potions to take back.

Although they felt that since many knight orders and the Inquisition had placed orders, these alchemical potions were likely to be good, they still planned to buy one to test the effect.

After the major forces came to visit, Ginza, which had been bustling for several months, became strangely quiet, especially for the alchemists. The work of reorganizing their alchemy workshops slowed down silently.

Night, New East District.

In a dimly lit room, Roland was answering a boy's questions at a table, while on the other side of the room, Hela was chatting in a low voice with the girl next to her.

After answering the boy's question, Roland looked at the dark sky outside and spoke before he could continue asking questions, as he seemed to be planning to ask something else.

"It's getting late, I'm about to get off work, if you have any questions, ask me tomorrow."

Hearing Roland's words, the boy blinked and glanced at the dark night outside the window. He quickly packed up his things, then stood up and bowed to Roland to thank him.

Roland naturally stood there without any psychological pressure and accepted his bow.

Then he left the room with his sister, who was chatting with Hela.

Roland glanced at the amulet that Hela had stuffed into his sister's hand and said nothing.

After the two left, Hela also walked to Roland's side.

"A visitor is coming."

Roland turned his head and looked in one direction, saying lightly.

Following the direction Roland was looking, Hela also looked over there.

Since Hela is now also a fourth-ring spellcaster, her perception ability is already very strong. Therefore, on the premise of knowing the direction clearly, she also discovered the approaching guy with malicious intent.

A few low-level extraordinary people who were simply disguised.

Hela frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Should we notify the court?"

"No need, just a few alchemists."

Roland shook his head slightly, walked out of the room, and continued.

"Let's go over and listen to what they are going to do." "Yes."

Hela nodded and followed Roland out of the room. After leaving the room, she used her magic to close all the windows and doors of the room.

The two walked down the stairs slowly.

When the two men walked out of the building and entered the street, several people in disguised identities also arrived here.

The leader looked at Roland for a few seconds, then walked over with his men.

After they approached, Roland also stood in place, looked at them calmly, and said.

"How many alchemists?"

"Your Excellency has good eyesight."

After hearing Roland's words, they no longer concealed their identities and directly removed their disguises. The leading alchemist said softly.

Then, they bowed politely to Roland.

Although Roland didn't like these alchemists very much, he still didn't want to hit someone who smiled at him, so he simply returned the greeting.

Then, Roland pretended not to know them and spoke calmly.

"What do you want to see me about?"

The leading alchemist smiled and said.

"We are here to invite you on behalf of the Alchemy Association. There will be a gathering tomorrow that all the alchemists in Ginza will participate in. Are you interested?"

As he spoke, he took out an invitation from his pocket.

Roland didn't answer. Instead, he looked them up and down and spoke in a calm tone.

"Invite me? Don't you know what I'm doing now? I don't think this invitation is appropriate."

"Competition in business is naturally based on one's own ability. This is just an academic discussion, not a discussion of official business."

He handed the invitation to Roland with both hands.

No business? All personal matters! You can't beat me, so you want to win me over, right?
No, my official identity is a high-level spellcaster. What capital do you alchemists have to win me over?
Roland was speechless.

Although he didn't know where their confidence came from, Roland didn't intend to follow their line of thought. He waved his hand and said coldly.

"I accept your kindness, but I have something else to do tomorrow, so forget it."

"Sir, aren't you curious about what the topic of tomorrow's discussion will be?"

The alchemist in front of Roland showed a confident smile, looked around, lowered his voice, and spoke.

"I wonder if you have heard of this person's existence."

As he spoke, a strange aura flew out from him.

After sensing this aura, Roland was somewhat surprised.

The aura of the Lich King? Did they get the alchemical equipment from the Lich King era?
It seems that he thought I was a necromancer and wanted to use these things to win me over.

However, I already have the Crown of Domination, so I don’t need this little thing.

Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, Roland remained calm and said.

"Please come back."
