Me! The Strongest Alchemist!

Chapter 13: Rune Engraver

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In an unknown tavern in the Storm Empire, Mas looked at the empty plates piled up on the table. Even though he had seen a lot in his previous life, he could not help but swallow his saliva. How was this a big appetite? This person was clearly a big eater!

Harry was really a big eater.

Mas watched Harry pour the food on the plate directly into his mouth and swallow it without chewing. He instantly felt his scalp tingle.

Mas did a rough calculation. Harry had eaten a meal worth at least 100 gold coins. If what he said was true, six meals a day, wouldn’t that cost 18,000 gold coins a month?!

What was gratifying was that such food could only be eaten in the capital city. When they returned to the Alchemy Tower in the Gloom Forest, the food would definitely not be so good. He did not ask Anthony how many gold coins he wanted. Most of them were alchemical materials and would not be able to sustain Harry’s eating style.

“Boss, actually… I’m still not full. Can you serve me some more?” Harry swept away the delicacies on the table like a whirlwind and smiled shyly at Mas.

Mas glared at the tavern owner, who had long been staring with his mouth agape, and waved at him.

“Didn’t you hear? Give a table full of different dishes!”

Upon hearing that, the boss of the tavern hurriedly instructed the kitchen to continue working.

Although the tavern owner stood in a corner and gave Mas a thumbs up, he seemed to be thinking, “This young man actually dared to treat the orcs to a meal? What a “warrior”!”

If this were an ordinary family of commoners, the food would cost an ordinary family of three half a year’s worth of expenses. However, compared to Mas, it was at most a meal’s money. Not to mention a hundred gold coins, as long as Harry had enough ability, he would gladly pay the bill even if it was a thousand gold coins.

Suddenly remembering something that had yet to be done, Mas turned his gaze to Walter, who was chewing loudly on the dining table.

He said expectantly, “Walter, do you know any professional engraver of magic runes?”

Walter thought for a moment and nodded slightly. “I do know a pair of elf sisters. They are the best rune engravers in the capital!

But Boss, if you hire them, I’m afraid it will be very troublesome. ”

“Troublesome. What kind of trouble is worthy of you being so careful? Why don’t you tell me, Walter? Is it because it is extremely expensive to hire them?”

Walter shook his head and continued, “It’s not very expensive to hire them, but the older sister, Sha You, has contracted a strange disease that is extremely difficult to cure. According to the rumors, she needs to take an expensive five-star alchemy potion to completely cure the disease.

Because the alchemy potions are too expensive for rune engravers like them, they can’t afford it at all. However, in order to stabilize Sha You’s condition, the younger sister Leah could only buy some low-level alchemy potions to sustain her life. Because of this, the two sisters has incurred quite a bit of debt. Now, in order to pay their debts and continue living, the two sisters are forced to work in the Chamber of Commerce!”

“The Sith Chamber of Commerce? Is it run by the president that the well-dressed youth was clamoring about?” Mas asked casually.

“Boss, your guess is right. The Sith Chamber of Commerce is one of the three largest chambers of commerce in the Storm Empire, but that bastard, Belek, is a vampire who doesn’t care about favors. He will think of all sorts of ways to force the talented people in the capital to work for him, and they will also be oppressed by him!

I had been working diligently at a gem store before, but that bastard Belek had taken a fancy to my talent and wanted me to work for him. However, I had long heard of the scandals and was naturally unwilling to work for him. That damned bastard had ordered that no one else was allowed to come to my store to buy things and caused my store to close down!

Without a job, I naturally came to the talent market to apply for a job. However, because of President Belek’s orders, no one dared to hire me.

It was rumored that Sha You’s strange illnesses was caused by a Level 6 assassin that Belek hired to poison her food!

“Boss, if you want to redeem Sha You and Leah, I’m afraid it will be very difficult…” Swoks said in a low voice.

“At the feet of the emperor, Belek disregarded the law and treated human lives like grass, yet no one cared about him. Could it be that his influence in the Storm Empire is very strong?” Mas raised his doubts.

“I don’t know about that. It’s said that President Belek has some relationship with the royal family of the Storm Empire.” Walter shook his head and then said.

“It is precisely because of this rumored relationship that the others are very afraid of the relationship between Belek and the royal family. Basically, no one dares to go against him, and it is precisely because of this relationship that, in just a few decades, the Sith Chamber of Commerce has developed from an unknown small chamber of commerce into one of the three largest chambers of commerce in the Storm Empire!”

Hearing Walter’s words, Mas blinked thoughtfully.

“Walter, you and Harry can continue to eat here. I still have something to do, and I’ll come back to find you later.” He turned to the boss of the tavern and said loudly, “Boss, there’s 500 gold coins here. Treat my two brothers well. If there aren’t enough gold coins, I’ll make it up to you when I come back!”

Mas took out 500 gold coins from his alchemy space and placed it on the dining table.

“Boss, where are you going? I’ll go with you!” Walter saw Mas walking out and hurriedly got up to ask him to stay.

“There’s no need. Eat slowly. You haven’t found a job in such a long time. You must have not eaten a decent meal like Harry. Eat slowly here. Eating is what you should be doing right now!”

Mas shook his head and stepped outside.

[Wallet’s loyalty has increased by 15 points! Current loyalty is 85 points!]

Hearing the cold system prompt in his ear, Mas was surprised. In his previous life, there were common ways to win people’s hearts, but it was so simple that Walter’s loyalty increased by 15 points? However, this was a good thing. Which boss would be willing to see his subordinate betray him?

“Walter, then come with me to the Sith Chamber of Commerce. Lead the way.”

Walter nodded and left the restaurant with Mas, not forgetting to take two drumsticks with him as he left.

Half an hour later, Mas and company finally arrived at the entrance of the headquarters of the Sith Chamber of Commerce.

Mas looked at the guard at the door and said politely, “Please inform President Belek that I have something to see him about.”

The guard looked at the attire of the two of them and sneered, “There are many people who see President Belek every day. How dare you think of meeting President Belek?

President Belek is busy every day, he is not someone who small characters like you can meet!”

Faced with the guards’ mockery, Mas was not angry. He calmly said, “You don’t have to worry about what kind of small character I am, but I have a business deal with President Belek. If you don’t report it and cause President Belek to miss this business deal, I think you know what will happen to you.”

Upon hearing this, a different expression finally appeared on the guard’s arrogant expression. After hesitating for a few seconds, he sized up Mas and finally made up his mind to report to Belek.

“Then wait here. I’ll report to President Belek now.”

After that, the guard ran towards the Chamber of Commerce without turning back.

“Psst, no matter which society it is, there are always people who look down on others. Sigh.”

“Boss, this guy, Belek, has at least raised several Class 4 and various types of professionals in the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, and even a Class 5 warrior. If we have a direct confrontation with them, I’m afraid…” Walter looked at Mas worriedly with a worried expression.

Mas did not mind. Instead, he smiled. “Walter, haven’t I been emphasizing one thing? I’m here to discuss business with Belek~”

He might not know others but how could he not know Mas? Since Belek had an affair with the royal family, he naturally knew that the great alchemist Mas of the Gloom Forest, an advanced creature alchemist, would be sought after by all the countries.. A smart person like Belek would not fail to see the big picture.
