  “Mage Anthony, this respected Alchemist Mas is not our enemy. His Majesty only wants us to bring back Swoks and push him onto the gallows. Since he has escaped with a large amount of money, he will not be able to get far. I can send a team of 300 to intercept him.

  As long as we bring Swoks back, no matter dead or alive, we can do something in secret and send Swoks’ corpse to the gallows. This will completely appease His Majesty’s anger! The alchemist in front of us is a genuine great alchemist, and he has even more powerful alchemical creatures than this Red Crystal Gargoyle!

  If we can build a good relationship with him, we might be able to get his help and obtain more stronger alchemical creatures to help us defeat the Pope and ease the situation at the front line,” Karl looked at Mage Anthony and said in a low voice, not letting a third person hear.

  After listening to Karl, Anthony nodded in agreement.

  “In that case, we’ll do as you say,” Anthony replied softly.

  Anthony was delighted and continued to use magic to reply loudly to the interior of the Alchemy Tower. “Respected Master Mas, I’m sorry for our rashness. You don’t know that this detestable Swoks cheated the Storm Empire of millions of gold coins in exchange of a hundred inferior alchemical soldiers. Those soldiers were just superficial and caused us to suffer terribly at the front line.

  We came here rashly this time just to capture that detestable Swoks. Since Swoks has already escaped, as long as you don’t help him escape, Master Mas, stay safely in the Alchemy Tower and let us return to report.”


  In the Alchemy Tower, Mas finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally calmed down.

  “It’s finally over. If not for the system, I would be dead this time,” Mas muttered with a smile.

  “Teacher, don’t blame me for being ruthless. If you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being unrighteous. If you die, I’ll die!”


  “No problem. Let me tell you, Swoks ran west from the door behind the Alchemy Tower. My sensor device can track Swoks’ whereabouts,” Mas replied through the alchemy loudspeaker.

  Then, Mas returned to the middle of the Anthony through the alchemy transmission channel and placed the sensor beside the window of the Alchemy Tower. He ordered the Red Crystal Gargoyle on the door to fly up and handed the sensor device to Anthony and the others.

  Karl and Anthony retreated when they saw the Red Crystal Gargoyle flying towards them with something in its hand.

  When the six-meter Red Crystal Gargoyle landed, everyone felt immense pressure.

  The Gargoyle was tens of meters high in the sky just now, and because it was too far away, they might not have thought that it was powerful. Now that they were closer, they could clearly feel the immense pressure coming from the Red Crystal Gargoyle. Karl was weighing the odds of him winning against the Gargoyle in his heart.

  He realized that if he really fought with the Gargoyle, he would be defeated in less than an hour. After all, the strength of an alchemical creature was limitless, as long as the power source was still intact.

  After the Gargoyle exchanged the sensors and flew back to sit on the top of the gate, Karl heaved a sigh of relief.

  “Huff… huff… how terrifying!”


  “I’m afraid that the Red Crystal Gargoyle’s overall strength is already invincible among the Level 4s. Moreover, it’s very difficult to defeat it even for the average Level 5. As far as I’m concerned, I’m not its match against its outstanding magic resistance abilities,” said Mage Anthony with a sigh.

  “Mage Anthony, I’ll lead the knights to chase Swoks first. Why don’t you stay and talk to this great alchemist?”


  “Please maintain a lower profile and try to get closer to him. As you know, the situation at the frontline is getting more and more difficult. If the Storm Empire can get the help of this great alchemist, we will most probably win this battle. For the Empire!” Karl said and bowed deeply to Anthony.

  “No problem. This matter is critical. Little Karl, don’t worry, leave this matter to me! Although I haven’t met Master Mas, from the fact that he was willing to provide us with help, he doesn’t have any ill intentions towards the Storm Empire. As long as he doesn’t have any ill intentions, we can pay a certain price to rope him in!

  “In order to express my sincerity, take these other mages with you. Don’t worry about me safety. I believe that this Master Mas will not be enemies with the Storm Empire. This will also reduce Master Mas’s guard against me to the lowest,” Mage Anthony replied.

  “Since that’s the case, then I’ll leave the rest to you. I wish you success and be careful.” Finishing his words, Karl mounted his horse and led his troops to chase after Swoks.

  Inside the Alchemy Tower, Mas stood at the window, coldly observing everything outside. He let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Karl leading the large group away.

  “This calamity has finally been resolved. If I don’t handle this properly, I’ll have to escape on the Gargoyle.”


  To be honest, he was quite envious of this Alchemy Tower. After all, the cost of building such an Alchemy Tower was at least 8 gold coins. Although this Alchemy Tower was only 100 meters tall and could be considered a small one, as long as he repaired the surrounding rune turrets, this place would definitely be the best place for him to develop.

  Furthermore, if he had the ability in the future, he could expand the Alchemy Tower a second time with this foundation, making its defensive capabilities even more outstanding.

  “Honorable Master Mas, may I enter the Alchemy Tower and have a talk with you?”


  Mas considered this carefully.

  He was currently in the early stages of the novice development and needed a large amount of alchemy materials. Right now, Mage Anthony represented the Storm Empire. If he wanted to develop quickly in the early stages, he would need the help of the Storm Empire. Furthermore, the Storm Empire needed his alchemical creatures. He would definitely do a mutually beneficial business.

  Mas had no reason to refuse Anthony’s implicit invitation.

  “Yes, no problem. Mage Anthony, come in. I’ll open the door for you now,” Mas calmly replied slowly.
