The Survivor and the System

Chapter 61: Mysterious Alchemist!

A few days passed, Edward spent almost every day beside the Medicine cauldron. Although these days were extremely tiring, the Storage Ring, which was filled with healing medicine, made him feel grateful as he rested.

Of course, another thing to mention was that/it was after nearly five days of permurnia, the Spirit in Edward's body had involuntarily become much stronger. Judging from his current progress, he had almost reached the level of a Late Elite Fighter.

With these two pieces of good news, Edward managed to grit his teeth and survive the ordeal.

As Edward hides in the cave to painstakingly repair the medicine, the situation in Javes City continues to lengthen. The atmosphere between Collin and Murphy had become increasingly tense, just two days ago the Murphy Clan had taken the opportunity to come up with the various market rules that traders liked, like, it caused most of the merchants who had originally been observing from the sidelines to rush to move into the market from the Murphy Clan.

Faced with a clear intention aiming to shake the foundation of the Collin Clan, all the high ranking members of the Collin Clan became furious and intended to commit murder.

……

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore, in just five days, our Collin Clan has lost at least 50% to 60% of normal income, if this continues, all of our markets will go bankrupt!."Inside the meeting hall, the third Elder exclaimed in anger, looking an ominous glint on his face.

All the clan members with higher positions were seated in the large hall, the anger in their hearts being expressed by their gloomy complexions.

"We really can't last much longer...."Harold slowly spewed out every word, continuing, he said."Although master Roger of the Primary Trading House has helped us by producing over a hundred bottles of healing medicine, this amount is too little, it really is not worth the large amount of the Murphy Clan. Although we might be able to maintain the impasse with the Murphy Clan in the short term, in the long run, since those healing medicines are depleted, we will once again arrive at the crisis situation before."

Harold sighed before letting out a bitter laugh and said."Although if Roger is willing to fully support us, based on quantity, we will definitely be able to win from the fight against the first tier alchemists of the Murphy Clan. However, he was from the Primary Trading House, they rarely involved themselves in clan clashes. To help to the extent that it was something unexpected!."

Sitting in the leader's chair, John Collin nodded, his face looking gloomy. Although the quality of the healing medicine sold by the Murphy clan was low, the quantity was huge and the price was cheap. This suited the needs of the mercenaries, who were often in bloody situations.

"If we can also obtain first-rate Alchemists, we will be able to fight them..."In the great hall someone lamented.

Hearing this, John Collin helplessly shook his head. There were only a few Alchemists in Javes City, to seduce one of those arrogant fellows was easier said than done. This time, the Murphy Clan had gained some luck and had actually received the aid of an alchemist.

In a corner of the hall, Angel, Jordan and the other members of the younger generation of the clan were also present. As they stared at the gloomy expression on their parents, they did not dare to interrupt recklessly and decided to shut up and observe in a silent atmosphere.

"Sister Angel, is that first tier alchemist so powerful? How could he force the Collim Clan into this situation?."Somewhat unable to withstand the oppressive atmosphere, Jordan quietly asked Angel who was sitting beside him.

Angel gently sighed, letting out a bitter laugh, she replied gently."Indeed, the alchemist was a very unique profession … The strength of a first-rate alchemist was the best at the Elite Fighter level and in direct combat one of the elders in the clan could easily kill him. Yet the true terror of an alchemist was not in direct combat but rather that they were able to create potions that drove people crazy. With this Elixir, they had an unrivalled ability to gather supporters. Many strong practitioners were willing to serve under an alchemist in order to obtain this potion."

"In the Spirit continent, many people dubbed that an alchemist like a lair of poisonous wasps, slightly disturbed, an alchemist would soon gather a countless number of fighters. Faced with so many fighters, even if they did not give up. They won't be able to put up a fight!."

When Jordan imagined the scene being surrounded by fighters, he trembled as envious looks spread across his face.

Reawakened by Angel's words, Jordan yanh desperately curled her lips as she said."I'm afraid that our entire Collin Clan doesn't have the fortune to obtain an alchemist."

Although Angel nodded in agreement with these words, in his mind a certain young man wearing black clothes suddenly appeared. Taking a closer look at the young man's face, it seemed like Edward…

Ruthlessly disposing of that thought, Angel whispered to herself."How could I think of that little bastard? Huh, if someone with such a personality was able to become an alchemist, all of the alchemists in this world would become worthless."

After cursing Edward in her heart, Angel directed her gaze to a corner by the window, there, a green-clothed young girl quietly grasped a simple tome, thick book, occasionally moved his finger to turn the page as his eyes scanned the contents of the book. This calm and elegant appearance attracted the furtive gazes of many of his friends.

"Good girl, why should she like that little bastard?."Angel reluctantly shook her head as she once again maintained her silence.

Silently sitting beside the window, even though her attention was fixed on the book, Violet was able to sense the miserable atmosphere in the hall. His burly brows were slightly knitted together. No matter what was said, he had also stayed in the Collin Clan for over ten years. Moreover, even if it wasn't for Edward, he would never let the Collin Clan be oppressed by the bad Murphy Clan.

"Huh. I hope those bastards won't overdo it.."Violet sighed in her heart as she turned back to her book. Without Edward by her side, she practically had no reason to speak.

As plans continued to be discussed within the hall, the clan guards hurriedly ran in and reported in a respectful tone."Clan leader, there is someone wearing a black robe outside. He said that he had some cooperation issues to discuss with the clan leader."

Hearing these words, John Collin and the other elders were slightly surprised. Exchanging glances, their gloomy expressions suddenly surged with excitement. Some of them simultaneously stood together and immediately ordered."Quickly invite him in!."

Seeing the looks of John Collin and the three old men, everyone in the hall was somewhat amazed, they immediately exchanged glances with each other.

"Ha ha's. No need to invite me in Clan Leader Collin, how are you? This stranger has come uninvited."Edward's laughter with a slight change of voice rang out from behind the door just as John Collin's commanding voice faded.

Simultaneously with laughter, a figure enveloped by a huge black robe unhurriedly walked into the hall under the gazes of the crowd.

At the moment when the person wearing the black robe stepped through the door, Violet, who had been focusing her attention on her book, suddenly raised her eyebrows. Slowly raising her tiny face, her autumn spring water vigilantly stared at the black-robed person who had just entered.
