Me! The Strongest Alchemist!

'I sold you, and you are still counting money for me.'

Anthony was pleasantly surprised to hear that Mas was willing to let him into the Alchemy Tower.

For alchemists, the Alchemy Tower was equivalent to their livelihood. Generally speaking, if an alchemist let an outsider into their Alchemy Tower for reasons, it meant that the alchemist believed in him.

Although the Alchemy Tower did not belong to Mas, the original owner of the Alchemy Tower, Swoks, had probably died on the road to escape. This unclaimed Alchemy Tower naturally became Mas' possession.

Of course, it did not mean that Mas could not do anything to Anthony after entering the Alchemy Tower. On the contrary, the danger inside the Alchemy Tower was no less than that outside it. As long as outsiders entered the interior of the Anthony and the owner of the tower had the intention to kill, they would not be able to escape.

However, Anthony did not only represent himself. He had a huge national machine behind him. Mas would not kill him because it was unnecessary. He was no match for the Red Crystal Gargoyle outside. He could not run away unless he wasted a special return spell. There was no need to persuade him to enter the Alchemy Tower and kill him.

Unknowingly, Mage Anthony had already walked to the door outside the Alchemy Tower. Before he could knock on the door, the door opened automatically.

The moment Anthony was about to step into the Alchemy Tower, the familiar voice came again. "Oh, my dear Mr. Anthony. Even though we have been communicating with each other using our voices for a long time, our relationship is not good enough for us to want to talk directly. I can't leave now because I have something to do, so I can only use the loudspeaker inside the Alchemy Tower to talk. If you have anything to say to me, you don't have to worry. Just say it and I will listen carefully."

Mas's voice then echoed off the first floor.

Mas did this for safety reasons. Apart from the Red Crystal Gargoyle, he had no other means of protecting himself, and Anthony was a court mage.

Although mages could be said to have no advantage against other professions of the same level, and were even slightly disadvantaged, this did not mean that they did not have the ability to fight in close combat. To be safe, Mas decided not to meet Anthony.

If the other party saw through something and harbored evil intentions toward him, then all his previous efforts would have been nullified.

Anthony did not pay much attention to Mas's unwillingness to reveal himself and talk to him. He knew that one should not be wary of others even if they wanted to harm others. He could vaguely guess the reason for Mas's actions.

"Master Mas, my purpose for meeting you this time is to purchase a batch of alchemical creatures for war on behalf of our Storm Empire! I wonder if you are willing, Master Mas?" Anthony said slowly and respectfully.

When Mas heard this, he was overjoyed. It was really like someone giving him a pillow when he was sleepy.

He was still worrying about how to get Anthony to help him get a batch of alchemy materials. He did not expect Anthony to walk right into his trap and ask him to help him refine a batch of alchemical creatures for war. Now, Anthony was asking him for help and he had the upper hand.

However, if he agreed without any conditions, then it would be a humiliation to his status as a great alchemist.

After thinking for a while, Mas purposely spoke slowly with difficulty, "Hey, Mage Anthony, it's not that I'm unwilling to help your country. As you know, alchemists spend a lot of time refining creatures, not to mention the astronomical price of alchemy materials. As for your country's request, forgive me for not obeying."

When Anthony heard this, his calm expression changed slightly, but he quickly changed it and immediately said, "Oh, Master Mas, as long as you can provide us with a batch of alchemical creatures, be it money or alchemy materials, just say the word. We can maximize your needs!"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Mas's face became even wider. It looked like it was just as he had expected. Everything was going according to his reasoning. Did he not expect the front line of the Storm Empire to be so tight?

He should have raised the price on the spot, but it didn't matter. He had already achieved his goal. To him, those gold coins were useless. To him, who had the Creator's Alchemy Platform, alchemy materials were the most important!

As long as he had enough alchemy materials, he could create stronger alchemical creatures and other items.

"Oh? Mage Anthony, are you sure you can represent the Storm Empire?" Mas deliberately fell silent for a moment, pretending to be in deep thoughts.

"To be honest, Master Mas, I am the uncle of the current Emperor of the Storm Empire, and also the chief mage of the palace. As long as Master Mas is willing to sell those alchemical creatures to us, I can represent the Storm Empire to agree to the conditions this time." Mage Anthony replied him with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mas was surprised. He thought that Anthony's title as the chief mage of the palace was not small, but he did not expect him to be the emperor's uncle. He was a relative of the emperor. His status was not low. In fact, he could be regarded to be equivalent to half a royal noble.

Mas was silent for a while before he slowly said, "I wonder what kind of alchemical creatures you want to buy from me, Mage Anthony? Let me say first that my alchemical skills are all real. If the effects are good, the corresponding price will be slightly higher."

When he finished, Anthony's face was filled with joy. He never expected that the discussion would come so soon.

"If possible, Master Mas, I would like to purchase a large number of Red Crystal Gargoyles from you!" Anthony quickly replied.

"What a huge appetite, a large number of peak Level 4 Red Crystal Gargoyles, aren't they afraid of choking to death?" When Mas heard Mage Anthony's words, he cursed in his heart.

However, for him, if they really needed it, he could produce it. He just needed a large amount of materials.

Because of the Creator's Alchemy Platform, he had absolute control over the creatures refined from the platform. He could temporarily give control to others, but with his control, the alchemical creatures he sold would immediately return to his side.

Using the Storm Empire's money and materials to refine an alchemical creature that belonged to him alone, and then selling it to the Storm Empire to earn alchemy materials and gold coins, this was a sure win for Mas.

However, as an "Alchemy Master", Mas had to be more reserved when he spoke.

"Mage Anthony, you must have felt the power of my Red Crystal Gargoyle when you were in close contact with it the last time. If you want to refine such a high-grade Red Crystal Gargoyle, the cost of making it is not cheap. As far as I'm concerned, just the cost of refining a Red Crystal Gargoyle's alchemy material alone is more than 50,000 gold coins!

You should think it through. You can discuss this price with me after you have thought it through." Mas was greedy and raised the price.

When Anthony heard that, he frowned slightly and said after thinking for a while, "Master Mas, although I don't know what the success rate of your Red Crystal Gargoyle is, the highest price I can offer is 150,000 gold coins to buy a Red Crystal Gargoyle that you made!"

When Mas heard this, his body froze for a moment before he realized what had happened.

Because creature alchemists were different from the other three types of alchemists and there were too many types of alchemical creatures, some people would specifically find a more famous creature alchemist to specially refine an alchemical creature.

However, due to the possibility of failure during the process, the buyer would provide several times more money than the original cost of alchemists.

For example, the most common alchemical soldier that Swoks made previously required 200 gold coins for one, but the order price was usually several times higher.

Swoks asked for five times the price of alchemy material. If he could successfully refine it every time, then he would earn four times the profit. If an alchemical soldier could earn him 800 gold coins, 100 would be 80,000 gold coins. This was not a small amount of money. On the contrary, if he could not succeed in refining it within five times, then he would start to lose money.

However, since high-quality alchemical creatures required more expensive raw materials, the price would be reduced accordingly.

He needed about 30,000 gold coins to refine a Red Crystal Gargoyle.

Initially, Mas meant that a Red Crystal Gargoyle would be sold for 50,000 gold coins. He did not expect that Mage Anthony would misunderstand. He thought that it would cost 50,000 gold coins per Gargoyle, so he offered three times the price, which was 150,000 gold coins.

If Mas still refused to sell at this price, he would be too greedy.

"Oh? Since Mage Anthony is so sincere, it would be unreasonable for me to reject you again.. Then, how many Level 4 Red Crystal Gargoyles do you want?" Mas suppressed his excitement and said calmly.
