Chapter 132: Chapter 126: The Allure of the Distance! (Vote for Monthly Tickets)
“Bizarre Flower” is a type of red-green flower closely resembling the typical “Luxury Flower” in appearance, but it softly speaks the name of anyone who touches it, belonging to the category of “bizarre plantlife” among mysterious creatures.
During transactions, it is deliberately placed inside a bottle to prevent both parties from revealing their true identities when they touch it.
“Eye Fiend Spirit Brain” and “Eye Demon Skin” are extraordinary materials produced from the mysterious creature known as “Otherworldly Life-Eye Demon.”
However, compared to the Eye Demon’s skin, the thumb-sized, deep purple spirit brain is the most valuable part of it, with each powerful Eye Demon only producing a small piece of it.
“Shadow Sea Stone” is also a peculiar type of extraordinary material, found only in the Spectral Sea and the Aphotic Sea.
When placed in sunlight, it gradually becomes transparent and disappears, but when taken back into the shadows, it turns into a black stone again, and the sound of waves continually arises around it.
As for the technology to store sunlight, Byrne had acquired it as well; he looked at the alchemy recipe described on the paper and silently nodded his head.
It wasn’t exactly a complex technology, but no one had ever thought about it before, and many breakthroughs in alchemy happen this way.
The young “Moon River Stone” once again brought news about the Rhea People.
“The Rhea People’s civil war will fully erupt this year. The conflict between the ‘Adranus’ Meyer family and the Rhea Royal Family’s ‘Fog Wayfarer’ Abexina clan has reached the point of no return.”
“Years ago, the two families ceased hostilities due to the mediation of the World Order Church and the Salvation Church, without wiping each other out entirely. Now it seems that was merely postponing the inevitable full-scale outbreak of the conflict.”
Good news!
Upon hearing this, Byrne couldn’t help but feel joy inside. He actually didn’t wish for the Rhea People and the Cyart people to go to war again.
Because the East Coast Province is a natural frontline, regardless of who ultimately wins or loses the war, this place is likely to become scorched earth.
The Meyers battling the Rhea Royal Family to the point of collapse would be the ideal scenario for the Fischer family, with the Rhea People weakened to the point where they could no longer threaten the Cyart people!
At this moment, the “Spirit Essence” lady, who had been silent during the last meeting and hadn’t spoken in the current one, finally spoke up.
“I want all the purple-red stones you people have; I’m willing to trade for them with things you need.”
Her voice was ethereal and hollow, and besides that, there was even a strong sense of emptiness that involuntarily made Byrne frown. “Spirit Essence” seemed like an emotionless hollow doll rather than a living person.
Could it be that this “Spirit Essence” lady is truly a doll?
He pondered silently; what on earth did she want the purple-red stones for?
“Solar Gold” shook his head and said, “You want it, Spirit Essence? I’m sorry, but I’ve already used up last time’s portion. I don’t have any extra purple-red stones.”
“However, if the alchemical product provided by this meeting’s chairman is again that kind of purple-red stone, I might consider selling it to you.”
The usually quiet Viscount Bast suddenly spoke up as if he couldn’t help but remark:
“It’s rare, indeed. For nine whole years, this is the first time I’ve heard the mysterious ‘Spirit Essence’ lady speak. One doesn’t get many nine-year periods in a lifetime.”
“Star Metal” also nodded, speaking with a voice that seemed like a mature woman’s:
“Dragon Crystal, I am the same as you; this is the first time in nine years that I’ve heard her speak.”
“Time Stasis Stone” sighed and said, “Actually, nine years is not that long. It’s the endless expanse of time that is truly terrifying.”
“Solar Gold” looked at the chairman and asked respectfully, “With that in mind, may I ask ahead of time, what kind of alchemical creation would you like to give us this time?”
However, the chairman just slowly shook his head and said indifferently, “I haven’t created anything new, and there is no need for you to test anything for me this time.”
Everyone at the meeting was taken aback, except for Byrne; they all knew the chairman’s execution ability was strong, and he had always been able to present a batch of wondrous alchemical creations to everyone every three years.
The chairman failing to present a new alchemical creation this time might indicate he’s encountered trouble, rather than being negligent.
Byrne quickly considered another possibility: The chairman was investing a vast amount of energy and time in preparing to create a groundbreaking alchemical creation that would take far more than three years to construct!
He felt a chill rise from deep within, unable to suppress the fear in his heart.
The purple-red stones contained so many shattered souls; every stone’s creation signified the death of countless people. And if the chairman decided to create an even more powerful alchemical creation, what kind of disaster would that inflict?
Byrne shivered, feeling a deep revulsion within and a strong dissatisfaction with the chairman’s willingness to slaughter extensively in the name of researching alchemy.
A majority of the members of the Alchemy Council traded with “Spirit Essence,” but after much contemplation, Byrne decided to keep the purple-red stones for himself.
He felt that they could have unexpected uses.
After all the transactions had concluded, the chairman nodded gently and continued:
“The object I have been searching for, a diamond-shaped fragment that continuously emits sunlight, I’ve looked for it, and it’s not within the Sea God Cult.”
“Everyone, continue to keep an eye out in your respective countries.”
