Chapter 373: Green Tempest
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A clear, green liquid lay quietly inside an alchemy flask like a mellow lady. This was Ye Chong’s latest product. He had used a few precious ingredients to produce it, but he was quite happy with the final product. This was his first time producing this chemical. He had thought about it back in the Black Forest, but his tools and equipment were too simple for that. He had just used Bibia’s equipment. Bibia’s equipment were the most advanced available, at least on Dankwood planet.
The gentle bluish green liquid looked enticing, especially to the people who had just fought for such a long time. They were all thinking about how sweet and tasty it must taste.
Only Bibia out of all of them was staring dead straight at Ye Chong’s flask with a deadly pale expression. His eyes betrayed the horror he was feeling. Han Yue quickly noticed Bibia’s situation.
”What is it?” Han Yue asked quietly.
Bibia did not seem to hear him, as he continued to stare at the thumb-sized alchemy flask in Ye Chong’s hand. His pupils were dilated from shock, as though they were losing focus. Han Yue could even feel Bibia’s whole body trembling.
Could it be … Han Yue stopped his gaze at Ye Chong’s tiny alchemy flask.
”If I may ask, is that the Green Tempest?” Bibia’s voice was shaking as he spoke. He was not aware of it, but the people around him could hear his teeth chattering. They looked at Bibia oddly, not knowing why he was shaking.
And just like that, when Bibia finished his question, all the other alchemists paled, their faces drained of all traces of blood as they stared in horror at the adorable tiny bottle in Ye Chong’s hand. They took a few steps back away from Ye Chong, as though he was the god of calamity.
The rest of the group looked baffled at the alchemists. They did not know why the alchemists behaved so out of control, since alchemists were usually of a gentler temperament, and rarely showed such extreme behavior.
In that instant, everyone looked to Ye Chong.
”Yes, this is the Green Tempest.” Ye Chong looked at all the people around him. He did not know why they reacted so violently. The alchemists had stepped back almost in unison, their eyes filled with fear, as though he was not human, but a monster.
Han Yue could not help but asked, ”What is the Green Tempest?” No one bothered to answer him.
Ye Chong was slightly familiar with the world of alchemy, but he knew very little of its history. He did not know of the horrible reputation of the Green Tempest, or he would not have chosen this as his weapon.
There was once a time, long ago, when alchemists were the symbol of evil to the common people. This was largely due to the Green Tempest. There were no records of the name of the person who invented Green Tempest, but every piece of literature described him as a man with no morals! In just three years, he had killed more than two hundred thousand people. These people had all died from the Green Tempest.
The most terrifying incident was one where an entire town had died in their sleep. In just one night, the flourishing town turned into a graveyard. Alchemists were not so well received back then, and this incident aggravated the situation. This particular alchemist was a wanted man on the entire planet, and many other alchemists joined in on the hunt. The alchemist was finally killed, but not after taking down 70 percent of his pursuers.
That was the first time the true power of alchemists was appreciated by the public. However, it was also a huge damaging blow to the world of alchemy.
The incident had happened on Dankwood planet. It was a long time ago, but all of the alchemy schools on Dankwood would have it in their records. Green Tempest was also a symbol of the peak of an alchemist’s abilities. It was no wonder that they all paled upon hearing the name of this chemical.
With the legendary substance right before them, all the alchemists were shaken to the core.
Ye Chong could not help but frowned. ”Is there a problem?” He knew nothing of its history, and so could not understand the stares he was receiving.
”No problem, no problem at all!” The alchemists all shook their heads vigorously. What the hell, the inventor of Green Tempest was known as a man with a volatile temper. Who knew what this man’s temper was like? Anyone would be afraid of such a powerful alchemist!
After all, offending a senior would have dire consequences! Just read the history books!
With that, everyone realized what was wrong. They might not know what the Green Tempest was, but it was obvious that they should not offend this man at all costs.
