Chapter 43: Alchemy in the Kitchen
"Kim, what's the news lately?"
Newton came to the Chamber of Commerce and went straight to his office.
"Nope."
Kim shook his head.
"Of course, if the Magic Council collapses, maybe you're more interested in the fact that there seems to be a magazine preparing to interview Fairy Tail recently."
"The Council of Magic has collapsed, but the councillors should be fine, so it is only a matter of time before the Council of Magic is rebuilt."
Newton didn't think that a single building collapse could solve the problem of those who were old and immortal, the people were still there, the heritage was still there, and the Magic Council was not so easy to fall. But if you want to rebuild, then you will need a lot of money and people, and Gerald can break into the inner circle of the Magic Council through a mind body, so why can't he do it himself.
"Kim, go walk around, this time see how many people we can put in while the Magic Council is rebuilt, and send a letter to the kingdom by the way, and see if they have any intention of interfering."
"Where is the guild?"
Jin looked at Newton, the Magic Council is a big cake, if only he and the kingdom are divided, it is easy to cause some people to be dissatisfied.
"I'll go talk to the old man there."
Although Newton regarded the Chamber of Commerce as a benefit of the Guild, Newton did not want the Guild and the Chamber of Commerce to get too close. Strong force coupled with strong financial resources, even without ambition, is enough to make others jealous. Newton, as an individual, still has the identity of this kingdom, so that the kingdom will not be too jealous, but if the person in charge of the chamber of commerce is a guild president, then this has to make those in power suspicious. So even if it was the original alliance with Zigray, or investing in the Magic Council, Newton used the name of the Chamber of Commerce, not the guild, and if there was anything going on in the guild, even if Newton appeared with Makarov, he could only be a background board, or a simple magician, and that's it.
"By the way, what's going on with the guild renovation at Demon Tail?"
Newton was more curious, he told Kim about the construction of the demon tail, because he had to add his own enchantment, so almost all the construction of the demon tail had to pass through Newton's hands, which was obviously not Jin's action.
Kim's performance at this time was quite helpless.
"No way, you also know that the Magic Council has fallen, so some people can't hold back and plan to start investing, not only Fairy Tail, but other guilds have also received a large amount of capital injection from other chambers of commerce, and because of the temporary suspension of the Magic Council, free magicians have also appeared in large quantities, and it can be regarded as a wave of small development for all guilds."
"Development ......"
Newton's eyes narrowed.
"What about the Dark Guild?"
"There is no news, but things are more unusual than demons, so I suspect that the Dark Guild is doing something, and our people are just asking what the Six Demon Generals, one of the Big Three, seem to be preparing to do."
The Dark Guild, even if it is ordinary, once it hides its guild logo, it is not very famous and there is no wanted warrant, even if it stands in front of you, you probably won't be able to recognize it. is famous, the censorship is comparable to the regular guild, and even stricter than the regular guild, and it is really difficult to grasp the news of the dark guild.
"Forget it, then so be it, by the way, who is the person who injected money into the demon tail?"
Newton shook his head, forget it, if the three giants of the dark guild are concerned, it is better to let the old man have a headache when the time comes.
"Well, this person you are familiar with, the father of Miss Lucy, the Epiphany Wizard of your guild."
Kim looked a little helpless.
"It seems that because of the ghost problem last time, Miss Lucy's father now runs here almost every day, because of Miss Lucy's relationship, I can't do anything to him, but I have to help him to a certain extent, not long ago their company had a certain problem to ask for help, and I had to help."
"That guy...... Forget it, if you can, you can help. ”
Newton, the relative of the magician of his guild, is really out of luck, and it's fine if it's enlightened, but after Lucy's introduction, Newton really doesn't have a good impression of that guy. People can be powerful, as businessmen seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and as creatures, they are all instincts. But Newton hated working with such a visionary person, and he didn't have eyesight, which was simply the standard of a pig teammate.
But after all, he was Lucy's father, and Newton could only help as much as he could.
"That's pretty much it."
Kim said there was nothing more to say.
"Okay, then help me prepare some live chickens and ducks and other living creatures."
Newton was naturally ready to try to see if he could refine the Sage's Stone through ordinary livestock, and through his knowledge, Newton knew that the refining of the Sage's Stone required human vitality and a soul full of resentment. The life force thing is the same in any living being, it's just the size of the quantity, but this soul full of resentment is not easy to find, and the difference between animals and humans is the rich feelings.
Since it was a grudge, it was naturally torture and killing, so Newton didn't plan to do it in his own laboratory, but came to the kitchen of the demon tail.
Well, killing chickens in the kitchen to refine the Philosopher's Stone, if it succeeds, probably Newton will have the same luck as a certain squirrel who uses an induction cooker hot pot for alchemy. It's just that it's okay, Newton is the protagonist of this book after all, and there are no white predecessors here, and Newton is not the kind of person who dies without doing anything, but he just likes to occasionally break his hand and leg or something, so Newton's failure is reasonable, but Newton doesn't plan to give up so easily, he can't really become an evil camp in the future, killing people and refining the sage's stone, that's too dead.
"The vitality is fine, is the reason in the soul full of resentment?"
Newton looked at the chicken stew with mushrooms in front of him, well, and a bunch of chicken dishes such as diced spicy chicken. No way, Newton didn't use chickens to experiment first, but looked stronger, more vigorous cattle and sheep, these things were directly extracted after the vitality and soul were left only the original basic elements, and the truth was almost touched, Newton also killed it, and by the way, the chickens were also killed to cook.
"It's so fragrant, what's wrong today? You're cooking a whole chicken feast? ”
Makarov smelled the fragrance and walked in, and Newton remembered when he saw Makarov.
"It's nothing, it's just itchy hands."
Newton couldn't say that he was refining the Sage's Stone, he would definitely be laughed to death.
"By the way, President, the Magic Council is going to be reorganized next, and the guild can intervene, but I am not suitable for this matter."
"Don't worry."
Makarov looked smug.
"No one is stupid, I was ready for a long time, and the other old guys are as good as the old fox."
"Okay, the old fox can help me bring out all the dishes."
