Chapter Index

    “Come on, let’s not do this, let’s all sit down instead of standing.”

    A nobleman with good looks stood up, comforted the nobles and made them sit down on chairs.

    Thalia and I also sat down.

    Sharp momentum and the ability to be attacked at any time

    Finally, everyone was seated in the conference room.

    “I guess the duke didn’t come.”

    “What is he… .”

    When Thalia mentioned the duke, the nobles’ expressions turned sour.

    Everyone seemed not to want to talk, but one noble suddenly answered.

    “They say you are busy with housework. “They say the third daughter is really upset.”

    Cough.

    The Duke’s third daughter would probably be Ariando.

    It was because of her that the duke was not cooperating with Thalia, but on the other hand, thanks to Ariando, it seemed like there would be a lot less hassle today.

    The nobles who are glaring at me may not be easy people, but isn’t there some pressure that comes with being a duke?

    “It is unfortunate that the Duke did not come to such an important event, but it is unavoidable. Instead, we were given all authority.”

    The other nobles gave the commander a stinging look, as if they didn’t want him to know the details.

    The nobleman, who received a glare telling him to restrain himself, only then licked his lips and kept his mouth shut.

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    The atmosphere suddenly became colder.

    Thanks to this, there was silence in the conference room.

    Everyone was turning their eyes to see what was happening.

    Finally, Thalia, who was sitting with her arms crossed, spoke.

    “So, I met someone who said they wanted to see me so much, but why didn’t anyone say anything? “Aren’t you the ones who insisted that we meet?”

    The nobles exchange glances as Talia tells them to speak quickly.

    “Why aren’t you saying anything? “Is everyone’s mouth blocked?”

    At Thalia’s urging, the nobles seemed to have no choice but cleared their throats and answered.

    “Hmm, your words are a bit harsh.”

    “Didn’t you come all the way here from far away? However, the person who called didn’t say anything, so it was frustrating. “If you called me without any business, you wouldn’t have trained me to be a mutt, right?”

    The nobles, who were already very nervous, fell silent at Thalia’s words.

    It seemed that many nobles were overwhelmed by Thalia’s ferocious force.

    Is it possible for nobles to be silent for no reason?

    Thalia’s aura is so vicious that it’s hard to stop talking to her.

    Of course, her ferocious attitude was intentional.

    To prevent the nobles from biting me, I bit the nobles first.

    “Whoa, of course it’s not that I have nothing to say. “If that’s the case, I assume you’ll allow us to talk, so I’d like to ask you a few questions.”

    Surprisingly, there was a noble who broke through Thalia’s momentum and opened his mouth.

    The nobleman spoke, drawing everyone’s attention.

    He spoke without taking his eyes off me.

    “The purified liquid went through an unusual procedure. Hasn’t it been revealed nothing about what ingredients went into the purification liquid or how it was made? I heard that you developed it yourself. Are you sure you were an alchemist? “Isn’t there a reason why you can’t even explain what the ingredients are or how it was made?”

    “I’m sure I said I would guarantee that part, right? “Are you going to ignore what I say?”

    Thalia said, but the nobleman shook his head as if he wanted an answer from me.

    “I wasn’t asking the commander. I am asking the person concerned. At least an alchemist should be able to tell, but he has none of that. “Isn’t it normal for it to smell at least a little like herbs?”

    The nobleman’s words suddenly reminded me of the smell of herbs I had smelled in Yul’s laboratory.

    ‘Is that smell the basic scent worn by alchemists?’

    There was no need to be intimidated by people saying he didn’t look like an alchemist.

    I had already heard from Thalia that they would be suspicious of my identity.

    “Are you saying I can’t admit it because it doesn’t smell? “It’s absurd.”

    “Commander, who is not an alchemist, you probably won’t understand. But if you ask an alchemist, he’ll tell you it’s all strange.”

    “I’ll say it again, this person is the only one in this world who can make purification liquid.”

    “You didn’t steal another alchemist’s research results?”

    “That won’t happen, but even if it did, I don’t think it would be a problem. is not it?”

    The alchemist noble was so embarrassed by Thalia’s shameless words that he could not open his mouth.

    In an aristocratic society, how many people can be sane if their morals are questioned?

    The only person who stood up to her was the alchemist noble who asked the question.

    “They said that this time, they imprisoned alchemists at the top of Mortason and treated them like slaves. Wouldn’t it be a big problem if that person was also behaving unfairly toward the alchemist? “It is unfair for some to be punished and others not to be punished.”

    And to his surprise, the top of Mortason popped out of his mouth.

    It hasn’t been that long, but isn’t the information moving very quickly?

    It was unexpected that the story about the top of Motason came up…

    To be honest, I found it more funny than offending.

    “Ah, the top of Mortason. “I know.”

    When I opened my mouth, the alchemist noble took on an arrogant attitude, crossing his arms and legs as if waiting to see how he would make an excuse.

    “It’s really shameless. Nothing brings more blood and tears than having the results of one’s research taken away by alchemists, but being treated like a slave and eaten. I believe that the country should actively protect alchemists who are not protected. Individual research deserves to be protected. What happens if you put in the most effort into research and development? “They quickly find out the ingredients and how to make it and then shamelessly sell it.”

    What does the alchemist want to do most now?

    It will be about finding out how I made the purification liquid.

    “It is good that the country protects the research results developed by alchemists in the first place. But no one knows whether security is properly maintained, right?”

    If you go through government review to sell a product you developed, similar products may start selling at some point.

    Even if you wanted to argue, it was useless because most of the alchemists had a strong line with the imperial family.

    Copyright?

    It must exist, but if a powerful nobleman protects it, it is worthless.

    ‘I don’t even know how to make it anyway.’

    So I asked Thalia if I could be reviewed without submitting the ingredients and method of making the purification liquid.

    Thalia said that it would be exceptionally possible with purification fluid, and it was actually possible.

    ‘I won’t tell you, so what are you going to do? So you’re not going to use purifying liquid?’

    Unless they succeeded in researching the purification liquid and creating a purification liquid with the same performance, I was the winner.

    Ridiculously, that alchemist told a clean guy who had smeared poop on him, and asked him to take off his clothes, saying that he needed to inspect you because you looked dirty.

    While ignoring the poop on you.

    I told the man that he should be ashamed of himself.

    “That’s why I punished the top of Mortason.”

    “what?”

    “It doesn’t make sense for a top company that has been running smoothly until now to suddenly collapse. That’s what I destroyed. As an alchemist, I feel very sorry for those who are being exploited. “I’m glad you know that.”

    “How could you…”

    The nobleman who was doubting my identity made a dumb expression.

    The alchemist noble, who was about to retort by telling him not to lie, fell silent when he saw the commander sitting next to me.

    Even if you refute how that is possible, there is no way it will hurt me as a close associate of the commander.

    “Hmm! You did a great job. I also heard the story from the top of Mortason. “I felt very sorry for the alchemists who were exploited.”

    As I carefully looked at the nobles gathered in the conference room, it seemed that not all of them were hostile to me.

    There was also a nobleman who was secretly trying to please me.

    “Are you done with what you have to say to this person? “Now that everyone has seen this person’s face as they wish, no one is opposed to commercializing the purification liquid, right?”

    thud!

    “no! “I’m still against it!”

    Once again, the alchemist noble refuted.

    It looks like the momentum hasn’t waned yet.

    “I can’t believe the effectiveness of this purifying liquid!”

    “As far as I know, I heard that alchemists personally confirmed the effectiveness of the purifying liquid? “And yet you’re saying you don’t believe it?”

    It is said that even the emperor, who had little thought about his country’s affairs, went to personally check the effectiveness of the purification liquid.

    If possible, the alchemists would have wanted to check the purified liquid I submitted on a molecule-by-molecule basis.

    “I think it makes no sense to say there are no side effects. Is it really okay to use purification liquid to purify the land? They’re hiding side effects! “I think we need to take more time to experiment and make decisions.”

    There is no way that the items sold in stores have side effects.

    The alchemist noble’s claim was not entirely wrong, but it did not make sense to argue that we should not use it out of fear of the side effects that have not yet been revealed when the only hope for recovering the lost land of mankind has arisen.

    “There are no side effects.”

    “What will you do if it comes out? Are you going to take responsibility for everything?!”

    “If a skilled alchemist had properly studied the purification liquid, there would be no way to think like that.”

    There is something Yul told me.

    Our general store’s products seem to have stopped being in top condition.

    It is said that the ingredients and efficacy are surprisingly the same.

    This is probably because they are items that game companies copied and created.

    ‘It’s not like we’re picking something new.’

    Therefore, it was a very suitable material for research.

    The results are finely adjusted depending on the condition of the material, but the products in our general store are in a constant condition, so the research results are the same.

    The ingredients are like that, but is it any different if it’s a purifying liquid?

    If there are no side effects listed in the description, there are none.

    If there is any possibility, there must be an ignition egg that the production team did not write down in the description.

    ‘Why do you need to put an ignition egg in the purification fluid?’

    There was no reason for that to happen.

    When I confidently said that there was no such thing, the alchemist noble seemed to be angry and shouted in excitement.

    “It’s not that my skills are lacking!!! There is no medicine in the world without side effects!! “Any medicine is bound to have some side effects!”
