What Didala wanted was the truth, the truth of what had happened, not some random scapegoat.
One of the alchemists looked around and couldn't help opening his mouth.
"Sir Didala, the root of this matter might have appeared. Our understanding and research of the Beast God's Blood is far from enough.
The manufacturing of the alchemy device was also based on the research of the Beast God's Blood. We carefully studied every component a few times, and every component was supervised by at least three people. It's impossible for there to be any mistakes.
"There is no problem with Sir Sizhang's alchemy skills …"
Once that alchemist opened his mouth, the other mages shifted the blame onto the two dead people.
Didala had a dark expression as he fiercely slammed the table.
"A bunch of fools! I'm asking you now, Dyrrhus said that there was a problem with the alchemy device and that the final strengthening failed because of Mafa Merlin. I'm asking you, is that true or not?"
Cold sweat seeped out of Sizhang's forehead. He understood that Dedale really wanted an answer and wasn't looking for someone to take responsibility for it.
"Sir Didala, this alchemy device was manufactured by me and my subordinates. It would be impossible for others to tamper with the alchemy device!
"Especially under those circumstances, we were all in the surroundings of the alchemy device. No one approached the alchemy device from the moment it appeared until the accident occurred.
"It's impossible for Mafa Merlin to tamper with the alchemy device. Even if someone wanted to do something, we would have immediately discovered it. Not to mention that Mafa Merlin is said to be an Artisan, even a Saint Alchemist wouldn't be able to hide from us from such a distance …"
Didala didn't say anything after Sizhang finished speaking. He carefully thought about it.
"At the time, it seemed that Mafa Merlin was standing at the very back, the furthest from the alchemy device, and there were mages of other forces in the middle.
If he wanted to do something, he couldn't hide it from everyone …
Just now, when Dyrrhus urged him to team up with Lin Yun, Didala was already thinking about this problem. It was indeed unlikely …
"Dyrrhus just said that when the accident happened, Mafa Merlin told Dyrrhus to stand further away. He must have discovered something. What do you think?"
Didala didn't have high attainments when it came to alchemy. At most, he had a bit of understanding, so he left these questions to his subordinates.
The group of alchemists remained silent, and Sizhang didn't dare to say anything.
Didala's face darkened. He slammed the table again and roared at the group of mages.
"A bunch of fools, I only want to know the truth of this matter. You fools are cowering, are you the mages of our Burning Tower?
Since when did our Burning Tower have such a group of cowardly goblins? "
Sizhang hesitated for a bit before voicing his thoughts.
"Sir Didala, we researched and examined the ruins of the battlefield, as well as the remains of the alchemy device. We came to the conclusion that there was a problem with the research of the Beast God's Blood.
"Maybe the direction of the research was wrong, or maybe we overlooked something at the most crucial point, leading to this disaster.
"If what Dyrrhus said is true, then that Mafa Merlin might have discovered the problem from the start. He didn't do anything, but he knew that something would happen.
That was why he was standing at the back of the crowd. When something bad was about to happen, he even said something like that. That explained a problem.
"He knew that something would happen during the fusion transformation, and he also knew when it would happen …"
Didala frowned, his expression unsightly.
"You mean to say that Mafa Merlin's research of the Beast God's Blood already surpassed ours?"
Sizhang's smile was somewhat forced, he wasn't willing to admit this.
"You are right, Sir Didala, this is the only possibility. Didn't I hear that the Henry Family's Morgan Henry completed the Extraordinary transformation and advanced to the Heaven Rank with Mafa Merlin's help?
"Dyrrhus kept saying that it was because Mafa Merlin was lucky that he managed to successfully make a potion, and we all thought that he was lucky.
"Although everyone knows that the higher the grade of the potion, the lower the success rate, he succeeded after all.
"This shows that Mafa Merlin already grasped the direction, but he didn't understand the details too well.
"Thus, his research of the Beast God's Blood definitely surpassed ours …"
Sizhang's words were vague, but all the alchemists present understood what he meant.
Grasping the key direction was equivalent to grasping the most crucial theory in alchemy, it was also the foundation of alchemy.
Sizhang's expression was somewhat gloomy. Saying this was the same as slapping his own face.
'Damn, it's all that Dyrrhus's fault. He made Mafa Merlin sound like a filthy goblin. Even if he knew that the other side had already researched a potion, he still didn't care.
'Being able to successfully make a potion, even if it was only because of the Goddess of Luck, shows that the other side's research of the Beast God's Blood far surpasses ours.
'I said it before, but unfortunately, those two idiots who were killed thought that since Mafa Merlin could research it, we would naturally be able to research it as well. Moreover, the results would definitely be better.
'The original idea was pretty good. As long as the alchemy device was successfully developed, every drop of Beast God's Blood would guarantee that a Peak 9th Rank Archmage powerhouse could complete the Extraordinary transformation.
'There was no possibility of the potion failing.
'Unfortunately, it failed in the end. Moreover, Mafa Merlin only saw the appearance of the alchemy device and knew that we would fail. It definitely wasn't because he knew about the alchemy device.
'Rather, it was because his research of the Beast God's Blood had already reached a very deep stage. He definitely knew that this kind of device couldn't make a mage complete the Extraordinary transformation. He even had a rough grasp of when an accident would occur.
'His research of the Beast God's Blood didn't just surpass ours, it far surpassed ours. The level of his research simply isn't in the same era.'
Didala remained calm and didn't say anything. This matter was a huge blow.
Whether it was to the Burning Tower or to him, it was the same.
After a long time, Didala opened his mouth in a gloomy tone.
"Sir Sizhang, you are saying that Mafa Merlin's research of the Beast God's Blood has already far surpassed ours, to the point that he already has a mature technique?"
Sizhang wanted to say something to gain face for himself, but when he saw Didala's dark expression, he immediately swallowed his words and helplessly nodded.
"Sir Didala, at least according to the information we have, Mafa Merlin has a mature alchemy technique. This is absolutely impossible. He is an Artisan from a rural place like Andalusia, how could he research a mature alchemy technique so quickly?
"I went to the Andalusia Kingdom once, that place's alchemy foundation is lacking. It simply can't compare to our Odin Kingdom, let alone our Burning Tower, a mage tower with an ancient inheritance.
"But his theoretical research of the Beast God's Blood definitely far surpasses ours. As long as he develops a mature technique, he will definitely be able to use the Beast God's Blood to catalyze a large number of Heaven Rank powerhouses!"
A glint flashed in Didala's eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"That's right, Mafa Merlin is indeed an alchemy genius. In the entire Odin Kingdom, there are few mages that can compare to Mafa Merlin in the field of alchemy, and he is at most 30 years old.
"A 30-year-old Artisan wouldn't appear even in the Odin Kingdom's major forces for a few hundred years. His research of the Beast God's Blood definitely far surpasses ours.
"But in the end, he is a mage from a remote kingdom like Andalusia, his foundation can't compare to our Burning Tower.
"He can research the theory, but he doesn't have a good method to turn that theory into a mature technique. The accumulation of that kind of technique doesn't rely on one or two alchemists.
"It's the accumulation of countless years of alchemists. Our Burning Tower has been standing tall in the Odin Kingdom for over ten thousand years.
"We don't lack the accumulation of techniques, and this accumulation of techniques is the best bait for us to recruit alchemists.
"As long as we obtain the results of Mafa Merlin's research on the Beast God's Blood, we will definitely be able to turn his research into a mature alchemy technique in a short time.
"At that time, as long as we have the Beast God's Blood, we will be able to keep producing Heaven Rank powerhouses. Even if the newly advanced Heaven Rank powerhouses are only at the 1st Rank, it will be enough!
"As long as we have enough Heaven Rank powerhouses, our Burning Tower's overall strength will rise to a whole new level and we will become the strongest force in the Odin Kingdom.
"That monster just completed the Extraordinary transformation and its Extraordinary Power was suppressed by the Raging Flame Battlefield. It could only be used for the simplest defense, but its fighting power was already comparable to my all-out burst.
"If that monster had intelligence, I might not be its opponent in a one-on-one fight. I wouldn't even be able to stop it if it wanted to slaughter other mages. At most, no one would be able to defeat the other.
"If a mage successfully completed the Extraordinary transformation, their strength after the breakthrough would definitely be stronger than that monster. After all, a mage's strength is based on their intelligence.
"As long as I cooperate with Mafa Merlin and grasp this method, who would still be our Burning Tower's opponent?"
After imagining the scene of the future, Didala couldn't help feeling excited. After all, even he was yearning for the Heaven Rank.
He could borrow the power of a Magic Tool to display the power of a 1st Rank Heaven Mage, but that was only fighting power. If he didn't advance to the Heaven Rank, his fighting power would forever be stuck there.
As for the Heaven Rank, even if he didn't have a suitable True Spirit Magic Tool, he could still keep walking.
The difficulty of advancing from the 1st Rank to the 2nd Rank was a lot lower than advancing from the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm to the Heaven Rank.
