The Witcher: Elemental Lords

After hearing these words, the entire hall was silent, extremely quiet. Usually, Daleid would only say a few words, but today's speech seemed to have a deeper meaning. Some people began to wonder what it meant, who it was speaking for, or who it was preparing to reprimand. For a time, people's hearts became complex. On the questioning platform, some people's faces changed slightly.

The head of the Alchemist Guild was an old man with white hair. In front of him was a piece of paper with the questions for the inquiry already written on it.

His strength was also extremely strong. After hearing Daleid's words, he clearly felt that something was wrong, but he still braced himself and stood up, glanced at the paper, and slowly opened his mouth.

"This inquiry is initiated by our Alchemist Guild. Our Alchemist Guild is questioning Dorai for abusing medicinal formulas, arbitrarily changing the prices of potions, disrupting the market, and arbitrarily violating the alchemist's code, gathering ordinary alchemists to achieve the purpose of potion monopoly."

Then, he looked at Dorai with a heavy gaze, and his aura pressed over fiercely, "Now, please answer the first question, the matter of abusing medicinal formulas."

Dorai looked at the other party, his eyes meeting the other's gaze. The surrounding atmosphere was very quiet. Combined with what he had just heard from Daleid, he was not flustered at all.

He looked at the man and slowly opened his mouth, "I would like to state here that everything I have done is under the alchemist's code, and there is nothing that violates any alchemist's code. Please do not frame me. As for the formula, I am sure that my students purchased legitimate formulas from the Alchemist Guild for their own use. As for the learning method, that is my own business. I only charge a fee to teach them the refining method after examining the character of the students. This fee belongs to me and does not violate the alchemist's code."

The old man said fiercely, "The alchemist industry must be taught orally and by example. Only by establishing a faction can one accept students. You are neither a highly respected teacher nor the leader of a certain faction. Why should you teach? As far as I know, you have not established your own organization."

Dorai was speechless. He had indeed not established his own organization.

He shrugged, "Alright then, I admit this point."

The scene fell silent again, and everyone looked at Dorai in disbelief.

How could he admit it so easily? How is this possible? Almost everyone's eyes widened.

The old man was also stunned at this time. So straightforward? Could this be a trick? Considering the situation today, he suddenly felt a little unsure.

Slowly withdrawing his aura, the old man pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's talk about the second point, abusing market dominance and arbitrarily setting prices. Do you admit it or not?"

On the questioning platform, people began to whisper to each other, exchanging information. Today's matter was very strange.

Dorai was too calm and admitted it too readily. He didn't seem like someone being questioned, but rather like he was on a picnic. You have to know that the consequences are very serious.

Dorai also saw the situation on the questioning platform. Those people were staring at him fiercely, as if they wanted to eat him. How could he not notice?

He glanced at the others, then looked at the old man from the Alchemist Guild and said calmly, "I do not admit this. The price of potions is based on the raw materials of the medicinal herbs, the alchemist's labor costs, professional fees, and other comprehensive costs. The value of the potion itself is a generally accepted result, not a result determined by anyone or any organization. I think my technical level is high enough, and the yield rate is sufficient, which can reduce a large part of the cost. Therefore, reducing the price of potions is an undeniable thing. How can it be called abusing market dominance?"

The old man wanted to vomit blood. The price of potions was indeed a generally accepted result, but it had been generally accepted for hundreds of years, and the price had been rising steadily. Dorai's move had reduced the market price of potions, which had long violated the interests of other alchemists.

"You arbitrarily reduced the price of potions, disrupted the market, and caused a large-scale reduction in the income of alchemists. Are you still saying that you didn't disrupt the market?"

The alchemists present were all staring at Dorai intently at this time. This guy had indeed violated their interests, which was undeniable.

Faced with this point, the people on the questioning platform and the judging platform looked at the Alchemist Guild and Dorai with interest.

The main contradiction between the Alchemist Guild and Dorai lies here.

Dorai smiled at this time, "What does this have to do with me? In any industry, the survival of the fittest is a common thing. You can't always make people with better abilities cater to people with lower abilities. This does not conform to the theory of market evolution, nor does it conform to our human race's concept of actively striving for progress. People who do not think about making progress will eventually be eliminated by the market."

Dorai's words were merciless, leaving no room for sentimentality. Each word deeply shocked everyone's hearts.

The old man felt like he was going to vomit blood.

Saying that their Alchemist Guild's technology was outdated was unbearable!

"That is the result of our Alchemist Guild's many years of effort. How can you say it's outdated?"

Dorai shrugged and directly attacked, "Please let everyone judge these matters. I won't say much more. Holding on to outdated ideas, not thinking about making progress, and standing still is the current situation of your Alchemist Guild."

The old man was about to say something when a voice came from the judging platform, "Let's move on to the next point. This point is over. Our Glory Wizard Guild unanimously believes that Dorai is right on this point. Please remember that technology needs to progress, not to be conserved. The Alchemist Guild needs to reflect on this."

Everyone looked towards the high platform. When they saw who was speaking, many people retreated, including the old man, because the speaker himself was Puyousi.

His speech represented the Glory Wizard Alliance and the entire Northwest's wizards.

Everyone didn't expect that Puyousi would speak for Dorai and target the Alchemist Guild. At this time, they were all stunned. It seemed that something was indeed wrong with today's matter.

The old man turned his head, his eyes solemn, and looked at Puyousi, his voice heavy, "Guild Leader Puyousi, this point is very important. This point is also what our questioning platform unanimously believes that Dorai should admit. Not only us, but also the Power of Nature organization, the xxx organization, and the yyy organization also unanimously believe this, and all the major families are suffering unspeakably because of this."

At this time, most of the people at the inquiry meeting nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Puyousi looked at the old man, but he couldn't muster any interest in this matter. He said casually, "Didn't Dorai just explain it? I think he said it very well. Outdated concepts and outdated ideas should be eliminated and forgotten in the long river of history. If you think that sticking to the old is the progress of society, then I think there is something wrong with you, the president of the Alchemist Guild. Shouldn't you change someone to do it and re-promote the development of the alchemist market?"

Puyousi's voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. Upon hearing this, the people in the hall were shocked.

What does this mean? This means that the Glory Wizard Alliance admits that there is a problem with the market, and that the Alchemist Guild is corrupt and useless?

For a time, the faces of people from various organizations and forces changed.

Outdated, corrupt, have they actually been branded with such nouns in the mind of this Guild Leader Puyousi?

The old man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart shocked. He didn't expect that in the eyes of the Glory Wizard Alliance, the alchemist industry had already become so unbearable.

He struggled fiercely in his heart, always refusing to admit this fact. In fact, the Alchemist Guild has been committed to the development of alchemists for so many years and has never slackened.
