Chapter 118: Have You Heard?
Chapter 118: Have You Heard?
The grand hall fell silent all of a sudden.
The weasel-like creature became a bit anxious, stealing a glance at the elderly elf with long white hair trailing down his back.
Who was this person?
How dare he openly protect Charlotte?
His purpose in coming here was to make sure Charlotte would die.
So, he concocted various fabrications, especially about how Charlotte showed disrespect to the Physician Association and openly practiced medicine without a license.
If this old elf ruined his plans, he wouldn't be able to fulfill Lord Carol's mission.
"I agree with the Elder's suggestion. We need to be more cautious about Charlotte's matter," Jacques, the tenth elder seated at the end, spoke up.
"The Abyss doesn't have a branch of the Physician Association, so his unlicensed medical practice doesn't fall under their jurisdiction.
As for whether he truly worships the devil and has become a devil's apostle, we must send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly and obtain concrete evidence.
We shouldn't solely rely on the one-sided words of this weasel-like creature."
"I can swear to the heavens that every word I said today is true; otherwise, I shall die a horrible death," the weasel-like creature hastily declared, making a solemn vow.
"That kid Charlotte indeed has a very bad record. If it weren't for the City Lord's plea, he would have already faced the gallows. Three years have passed, but he hasn't shown any remorse. Going to the Abyss has only worsened him,"
Lucian argued, "Three years ago, he performed surgery on a God-forsaken individual, but it was unsuccessful.
Now he claims to have revived a God-forsaken person, doesn't this indicate that he has become a devil's apostle, gaining such abilities?
How can a physician with revoked magical powers heal and save people?"
His argument seemed unassailable.
"Nonsense! When the Physician Association was established, the primary goal was to provide more efficient treatment to patients, so they made the Healing Magic the primary means of treating patients. Both potions, incantations, and blessings have cured numerous patients," Jacques retorted in exasperation.
"Enough!" Harold, sitting on the high seat, suddenly spoke in a cold voice, his indifferent gaze falling on Jacques.
"I will send someone to investigate this matter in the Abyss. If there's an issue with Charlotte, we will bring him back and let the Court of Judgment handle the verdict."
Harold's arrangement left everyone speechless.
At that moment, a young servant hurriedly walked into the grand hall, visibly excited. "Chairman! A message just came from the Calva Chamber of Commerce. Harold auctioned ten bottles of a potion called the 'Magic Repulsion Potion' that can cure magic drug addiction!"
"What?!"
All the elders, who were about to disperse, were shocked to hear the news.
Even Harold, who usually showed no emotions, couldn't hide his astonishment.
"What did you say? A potion that can cure magic drug addiction? How is that possible? Once someone becomes addicted to magic drugs, there is no cure!" Lucian blurted out.
The other elders shared the same thoughts.
Magic drugs were highly dangerous and addictive, yet there was no known cure for them. Even healing magic did not affect this issue.
The Physician Association had conducted extensive research on this matter, led by Harold and involving all members of the Elder Council, but the conclusion remained that "there is no cure for magic drug addiction."
Under the scrutinizing gazes of the high-ranking figures, the young servant felt immense pressure but still quickly continued, "The 'Magic Repulsion Potion' was auctioned at 100 gold coins per bottle. Marcus Barlf bought the first bottle and immediately fed it to his son, Grover. The effects were remarkable as he showed a strong aversion to magic drugs."
The name of Marcus's useless son was known to all members of the association.
He had sought help from them more than once, but they couldn't sell him this favor, as there were too many influential and wealthy people present, and the event couldn't be staged.
"Who is the one who developed this potion? Could they have made a deal with the devil?" Lucian's face darkened, "This will only make our Physician Association look powerless."
"It is said to be a potion created by a pharmacist named 'Miracle,'" the servant replied cautiously.
"That's great news! This is excellent!" Adolf exclaimed, clapping his hands in excitement.
"Magic drugs have ravaged for so long, taking the lives of many young people and destroying countless families. We were helpless against it, which was a display of our incompetence.
But now, a miracle has happened! If this 'Magic Repulsion Potion' can truly help people quit magic drugs, the pharmacist should be admired by everyone."
Adolf coldly looked at Lucian and changed his tone, "And you, on the other hand, are here suspecting him of making a deal with the devil, trying to pin the blame on him; that is a display of incompetence."
"Elder, please watch your words!" Lucian's face turned red, feeling somewhat inadequate.
...
The news of the 'Magic Repulsion Potion' spread far and wide through birds flying to various parts of the world.
The long-dormant Red Moon Faction also became lively.
[Witch: Have you heard? A pharmacist master has developed a potion that can cure magic drug addiction. It was unveiled at the Calva Chamber of Commerce tonight!]
[Technician: Is it real or fake? Can magic drug addiction be cured? I'm not well-read, don't deceive me.]
[Shepherd: The news is correct. I'm still in Calva, and a friend of mine participated in tonight's auction and told me about it. The potion is called the 'Magic Repulsion Potion,' and after taking it, a strong aversion to magic drugs occurs, achieving the effect of quitting them.]
[Witch: This is great news! I have a cousin's second uncle's third grandson's girlfriend who is heavily addicted to magic drugs. She's now so thin that only fish skin is left. If she didn't use the Water of Life every day to sustain her life, she would have died long ago.]
[Technician: Wow, this is incredible! Who's the master pharmacist behind this? Do you know them? Solving such a worldwide problem with just one potion?]
[Shepherd: It is said that the pharmacist who developed this potion is named 'Miracle.']
[Technician: 'Miracle'? That name sounds kind of pretentious, but it sounds familiar, doesn't it?]
[Light Chaser: @Miracle.]
[Technician: What?!]
[Witch: What?!]
[Witch: Is it the same 'Miracle' who joined the group not long ago? This... This is just too amazing, right? @Miracle, the master, come out and explain?]
[Technician: If it's him, then I understand why the Judicators gave him the Black Stone. He's a true master pharmacist.]
[Technician: @Miracle, master, do you have any potion that can make someone stronger, more robust, and more powerful?]
[Technician: Don't get me wrong, I mean something to strengthen muscles. Lately, I feel a bit weak while doing blacksmithing.]
[Witch: Is the master already asleep? After doing such a big thing, can he sleep so peacefully?]
[Merchant: Haha, you all seem to be well-informed. Yes, this potion was indeed developed by our organization's new member 'Miracle.'
Currently, I am responsible for mass production and external sales. It seems that the hype we arranged with Harold tonight was quite successful.]
