Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 474: TransfigurationIn the outskirts of a city at the border of the former Divine Empire of Sydnia, there lied the ruins of a decaying church.

On the place where the altar should have been in this decayed church, a clump of meat enveloped by black miasma was enshrined.

If you look at that clump of meat closely, you can see faces, arms, legs, and other parts of people push to the surface and disappear, crying our their resentment.

The fragment sourced from the Evil Spirit that the ex-priests of the Light God Faith had brought back was growing well by feeding on so many lives.

What happens when this fragment matures is unknown even to the ex-priests that are giving it souls and meat.

These ex-priests were no longer of sound mind. They dont know what the consequences of their actions would be, but they werent even in the state of mind to question the oddity of this.

The clump of meat continued its screams of resentment, gathering miasma, absorbing all sorts of dense negative energies like malice, grudges, envy, jealousy.

Former priests gazed at it from a distance.

Soon we will run out of money to buy criminal slaves. What should we do?

what, thats simple. Lets circulate rumors that theres treasures hidden in this church. We wouldnt have a problem with food for a while.

Kukuku, I see. Those greedy bastards would be good food.

That would suffice for the time being. Lets secure some money.

Right. Our Goddess is a great eater, after all.

No doubt.

Even after the ex-priests who could no longer make sound judgments left, the clump of meat continued to pulsate ominously.

The ex-priests didnt notice.nÊw stories at no/vel/b/i/n(.)com

Gadget thought, if he could utilize this commoner, wouldnt it be possible for this nation to unify the entire continent?

Yet Lobos was being more considerate than necessary towards this commoner.

Why not exploit him?

Why doesnt he seize the Sanctuary?

And that Lobos is happy about cherry trees?

It is a new species of cherry that cant be found without going to the mountain, so Her Majesty the Queen and the workers of the Castle also seemed pleased.

Hmph, how trivial. He used the nations coffers for such trifle things.

King Lobos seemed to have paid out of his own pockets.

Tch

Gadget clicked his tongue. If Lobos had used the national treasury for it, Gadget could have pursued him.

look for someone who has a beautiful daughter from distant relatives.

a knight or baronet, yes?

Fuh, so you know. Send in someone who can take his breath away. That commoners money, knowledge, and the Sanctuary will be mine.

Gadget seriously thought he could do it. And those around him dared not deny him. Then Gadget grew more and more foolish.
