Ch. 78.1 - Soul Chess (1)
Edmon calmly unfolded the newspaper. There was no need to ask what was so important.

One astonishing piece of news that decorated every page of the newspaper caught his eye.

[Alterisha, the Alchemist, develops futuristic magical engineering technology.]

… Indeed, it was noteworthy content that could make the newspaper tremble with excitement.

In addition to scrolls and potions capable of storing magic, there were also mysterious items with functions that could greatly enhance the efficiency of all wands used until now.

The alchemical magical engineering of Alterisha was the realization of all the futuristic technology that had been imagined.

‘I didn't expect it to be this significant…’

At a glance, he was aware of the remarkable aspects of Delta Augmentation. The impossible combination of these two streams possessed value beyond imagination.

For those without knowledge, it was difficult to grasp just how significant it was.

Edmon knew exactly that.

However, after confirming that much, he was able to put his mind at ease.

"It's nothing. Anyway, Father will move quickly."

Bringing such technology into the country was a highly important matter. Various companies, the upper class, the Tower of Magic, and guilds were already in motion.

If the Atalek family could localize the items under their name in Adolveit, the foundation of their family would become solid.

"Come to think of it, wasn't that commoner guy babbling arrogantly at that time?"

What? The Atalek family refused to supply items to the Adolveit Kingdom?

It was a laughable statement.

Even thinking about it now made him burst into laughter.

They had no understanding of politics and society, they were ignorant, which was why such nonsense came out of their mouths.

The head of the faction came with their innovative technology and pleaded, "Please purchase our products," but the foolish commoner mistook the roles of the lord and vassal.

‘It was truly an entertaining comedy for a change…’

There was nowhere in the Alchemy City where the hands of the Duke Atalek did not reach, and most of the alchemists within the Stella Academy had deep ties with Adolveit.

Of course, Alchemy City was an inviolable territory of the country... but that was just an illusion.

If all alchemists unite or the unknown 'co-author' speaks up, or even the great 'Alchemist of Gold' comes forward, who knows what might happen.

Nothing significant would happen with just a commoner's words.

That was reality.

Ring!

At that moment, the telephone in the office inside the club building rang.

"Young Master, there's a call for you."

"Yes, I'll take it."

It was quite common for direct students who were expected to inherit the family to have their own small private offices within Stella.

Moreover, Edmon, being the successor of Atalek and the head of the prestigious Crimson Hawk club, had a sizable office.

Thanks to that, despite being just a student, Edmon Atalek had a telephone placed in his office.
