  “Brother Dyson, are you serious?” Upon hearing that, Belek excitedly grabbed Mas’s shoulders and shook him.

  “A promise must be kept. I am, after all, the first apprentice under Master Mas. It’s not difficult for me to refine a mere advanced Level 1 alchemical soldier. You can rest assured.”


  Mas pretended to be righteous and stand up for his good friend.

  To be honest, he was convinced by his own acting skills.

  “If that’s the case, I, Belek, owe brother Dyson a big favor!”


  Belek looked grateful at that and even pretended to squeeze out a few tears.

  “But there’s one more thing. I’m very curious, President Belek. Why would the royal family of the Storm Empire purchase these low-grade alchemical soldiers so wantonly? Since they have already chosen to spend a large amount of gold coins to buy alchemical creatures, why don’t they choose a higher grade one?”


  Mas raised his doubts.

  At this moment, Mas could not understand the royal family of the Storm Empire’s approach. If they needed a large number of alchemical creatures as war weapons, they could totally send Mage Anthony to his place to purchase a large number of Red Crystal Gargoyles.

  Why did he have to look for people to make alchemical soldiers that were not of much use?

  Furthermore, the reason why Mas’s previous teacher, Warwick, would be pursued by the Storm Empire was precisely because he had sold 100 inferior alchemical soldiers to the royal family of the Storm Empire.

  This gave the people who knew the truth an illusion. Could it be that the royal family of the Storm Empire really had a crush on this alchemical soldier?

  However, Mas knew that things were definitely not that simple. There had to be something else going on.

  After all, only the entire royal family was not a fool. There was no need to buy so many alchemical soldiers.

  “Sigh, I won’t hide it from you, brother Dyson. I still have some small information about this problem. This is already known to the upper echelons of the Storm Empire’s aristocrats.

  In fact, it has something to do with the Flame Empire in the east. A Fire Essence Ore has recently been discovered at the border between the Storm Empire and the Flame Empire. The two large empires naturally will not give this rare ore away.

  As an apprentice alchemist, you should know that even the lowest quality Fire Essence Ore was a Level 3 alchemy material, let alone an entire mine. However, if a large-scale war between the two countries erupted because of a single Fire Essence Ore, it would obviously not be worth it.

  Therefore, the emperor of the two countries agreed to use alchemical creatures to fight. The winner would obtain the right to mine the Fire Essence Ore.

  The date of the war is set to be a month later, so the royal families of both sides are desperately collecting alchemical creatures to fight for the right to belong to the Fire Essence Ore,” Belek slowly explained to Mas.

  After hearing Belek’s explanation, Mas nodded and finally understood why the royal family of the Storm Empire would rather order alchemical soldiers than the stronger Red Crystal Gargoyle.

  After all, alchemical soldiers were even cheaper. Ordering a Red Crystal Gargoyle cost 150,000 gold coins, and the royal family that Belek mentioned ordered alchemy soldiers for 600 gold coins.

  A Red Crystal Gargoyle was equivalent to 250 alchemical soldiers!

  However, Mas felt that the royal family of the Storm Empire was really a fool.

  Mas was extremely confident in the strength of the Red Crystal Gargoyle. A Red Crystal Gargoyle could destroy 500 alchemical soldiers.

  In order to save resources, the Storm Empire neglected the essentials and went for the trifles, which made it rather disadvantageous.

  However, this had nothing to do with him. What Mas cared about was how many levels of alchemy EXP he had obtained from refining those 10,000 alchemical soldiers.

  “President Belek, when can we gather the alchemy materials?” Mas asked.

  “Because there are too many alchemy materials needed, I estimate that it will take three to five days!”


  “If you don’t mind, brother Dyson, you can stay here for a few days!” Belek smiled.

  “There’s no need for that!”


  “I’ll go back now. President Belek, after you collect the alchemy materials, you can send them to the Alchemy Tower!”


  “Oh right, Master Mas needs some advanced alchemy materials and materials to carve magic runes. I’ll have to trouble you, President Belek!” Mas smiled.

  “Don’t worry, leave this to me. I’ll definitely make Master Mas satisfied!” Belek nodded continuously.

  “President Belek, it’s been hard on you. I’ll wait for you at the Alchemy Tower!” Mas smiled.

  “Brother Dyson, are you really not staying here for a few days?” Belek tried to urge him to stay.

  However, there was nothing for Mas to do there. He might as well go back and look at the Alchemy Materials Encyclopedia and think about the combination of alchemy materials.

  After thanking Belek for his good intentions, Mas left the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.

  Not long after leaving the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, Mas felt a little strange as he walked.

  “Is someone following me?” Mas turned to look behind him.

  However, he did not find anyone following him.

  “Am I just being paranoid?” Mas muttered inwardly.

  Mas kept his wits and quickened his pace.

  Until Mas left the gates of the Storm Empire, he did not notice that someone was following him.

  However, after leaving the city, Mas was not afraid.

  If there was really a person who harbored evil intentions towards him, he would not be polite.

  In the city, Mas did not summon the Red Crystal Gargoyle in order to avoid trouble.

  But now, Mas did not have to worry about that.

  As long as the person following him dared to show himself, he would not be polite.

  In order to lure the person following him out, Mas deliberately slowed down after leaving the sight of the soldiers at the city gate.

  After a while, black smoke appeared out of thin air in front of Mas.

  “They’re here!” Mas revealed a cold smile and directly summoned ten Red Crystal Gargoyles.

  Five Red Crystal Gargoyles formed a ring to protect him, and the other five surrounded the black smoke.

  When the black smoke dissipated, a girl with fox ears was stunned when she saw the five Red Crystal Gargoyles surrounding her.

  “It’s her?” Mas looked at the fox-eared girl in front of him and frowned. He was very puzzled.

  The other party was the fox-eared girl who had stolen the money and thrown the purse to him.

  “Why are you following me?”


  “If you can’t answer, I’ll kill you!” Mas stared at him and said coldly.

  Mas would not be soft-hearted just because the other party was a beast-eared lady. If anything threatened him, Mas would definitely not be soft-hearted.

  Faced with Mas’s killing intent, the fox-eared girl was shocked and speechless.
