Viking asked Angor to take the main seat and lit up the candlesticks on the table.
Viking slowly spoke under the flickering candlelight, "Sir, before I tell you the reason, may I ask a question?"
Angor nodded noncommittally.
"Sir, are you planning to use the Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone for alchemy, or … for something else?" Viking seemed to be afraid of being misunderstood, so he quickly added, "I'm not trying to pry into your intentions, sir. It's fine if you don't want to answer."
Angor glanced at Viking. Viking's question sounded mild, but it was more or less the same as Snow's. In that case, the reason why selling the Demonic Flower Demonic Blood Stone became the "trouble" that Snow mentioned might be because of the use of the Demonic Flower Demonic Blood Stone?
The only difference between the Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone and other types of stones was that it focused on "emotions" and "desires". Could it be that someone, or someone, needed to use the Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone to control their desires?
Of course, the Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone could not only control one's desires, but it could also be used in reverse to intensify and release one's desires. However, there were substitutes for other materials that could enhance one's desires. Angor assumed that the Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone would not be used for this purpose.
Angor's mind raced, but he quickly answered Viking's question.
"It's for alchemy." Angor did not hide the fact. He was an alchemist, and it was normal for him to buy materials for alchemy.
"Since it's for alchemy, that's good." Viking sighed in relief and began to explain under Angor's gaze, "As a matter of fact, the Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone was banned only half a year ago.
"Speaking of which, it has something to do with the alchemy world." Under Angor's puzzled gaze, Viking continued, "Sir, you know about the Fathomless Alchemy Guild, right?"
Fathomless Alchemy Guild? Angor didn't react much when Viking mentioned the name, but Onassis frowned a little.
The Fathomless Alchemy Guild might sound like an alchemy guild, but in reality, the Great Demon God of the Abyss had already infiltrated their insides. To be more precise, the foundation of the Fathomless Alchemy Guild was to dedicate their faith to the Great Demon God and use the power of the Mark of the Demon God to enhance their alchemy abilities.
Anything that involved an Abyssal Demon God, especially a peerless Great Demon God, was not a simple matter. That was the reason why Onassis frowned. He regretted agreeing to Viking's request to listen to the conversation.
"Yes," Angor replied calmly. Not only did he know, but he also once entered the Abstruse Alchemy Guild. Although the background of the Esoteric Alchemy Guild was very problematic, precious magic materials would often appear in their internal exchanges. Even if many alchemists disdained the Esoteric Alchemy Guild's ideas, they would still occasionally go to the exchanges to exchange for some materials.
As far as Angor knew, many members of the research department had participated in such exchanges, including Master Mithra.
However, even though they would participate in the exchange meeting to exchange for some special magical materials, they were still disdainful and even disgusted by the Esoteric Alchemy Guild.
According to Granny Fingernail, City Lord Lawson had been trying to destroy Fathom Alchemy Guild for a long time. However, he didn't want to do so because of the powerful demon god behind them, as well as the large number of trades they had going on.
However, Lawson didn't just let the Esoteric Alchemy Guild grow unchecked. Anyone who joined the guild on the surface would be targeted by Lawson. Random believers would be banished from Floating Mech City and blacklisted forever. Devout believers or fanatics wouldn't have a good ending.
Because of Lawson's actions against the Esoteric Alchemy Guild, Floating Mech City rarely saw any news about them. However, those who lived in the city for a long time would more or less know something about the Esoteric Alchemy Guild. However, no one wanted to talk about it to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
"It has something to do with the Esoteric Alchemy Guild," Viking said while looking down. The flickering candlelight illuminated his face. It also seemed to set off the strange atmosphere of this matter.
Angor already expected this answer when Viking mentioned the Esoteric Alchemy Guild. If the Demon Flower Stone really did have something to do with the Esoteric Alchemy Guild, then Angor would understand why Snow was so hostile to the guild.
After all, the Esoteric Alchemy Guild was very important.
"Why would the Demon Flower Stone have anything to do with the Esoteric Alchemy Guild? Because it can control one's desires? "Angor asked.
Viking didn't shake his head or nod. "We don't know the details. But I think you're right, sir. According to our information, some of the Esoteric Alchemy Guild's followers lost control of their emotions for some unknown reason. In order to control their emotions, the guild decided to buy a large number of Demon Flower Stones.
"Breeze Shop is the only shop in Floating Mech City that has a steady supply of Demon Flower Stones."
"So, you're being targeted?"
Viking nodded helplessly. "Yes. The reason why Manager Flandy returned to Breezy Valley while I was participating in the Rising Star Competition was actually because of this matter. Breezy Valley is the biggest source of Demon Flower Stones in the southern wizarding region. Maybe they'll come to Breezy Valley directly. Manager Flandy needs to report this to the higher-ups and find a solution.
"Before we find out why the Esoteric Alchemy Guild needs Demon Flower Stones and how much they need them, Manager Flandy decided to ban the sale of Demon Flower Stones. On the surface, we can't contact the Esoteric Alchemy Guild to avoid being targeted by Mister Beast Emperor. "
"Aren't you worried that the Esoteric Alchemy Guild might do something behind the scenes?"
"At least in Floating Mech City, they won't dare to do anything big. Of course, there will definitely be some underhanded tricks, but it's not just our Breeze Magic Material Shop. The Storm Shop in the Storm Canyon has also been troubled because Storm Rock is a magic material that costs a lot of money. "
"Esoteric Alchemy Guild has been sending people to Floating Mech City. Because of the Rising Star Competition, Floating Mech City's security has been tightened. Now that the competition is over, I think they'll come again. "
Viking shook his head and sighed.
They really couldn't do anything about the Esoteric Alchemy Guild. Breeze Shop wasn't even a base. Even if the Breezy Valley wanted to do something to Esoteric Alchemy Guild, they couldn't do anything.
Now he understood that Snow probably thought he was a member of Abstruse Alchemy Guild. Since the Rising Star Competition was over, the Esoteric Alchemy Guild should be here by now.
