Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2569: 1416: Lord and Alchemists (Part 2)

Among the crowd, it wasn't just the Human Clan; alchemists hailing from various races across the Outer Region cast gazes of irrepressible admiration toward Leo Ray.

After all, during the recent comprehensive upgrade, Leo Ray had also enhanced a vast array of magical potion formulas and the potions themselves, effectively elevating the alchemical technology of every allied force by at least a full grade!

To any alchemist, witnessing such a monumental historical shift is nothing short of the ultimate dream and a supreme honor.

Within the jubilant assembly, a group of Dwarf Elf alchemists appeared particularly fervent, their heads nodding in continuous, frantic excitement.

The benevolence shown by His Majesty of the Humans was beyond words; not only had he rescued them from centuries of subterranean darkness to return to the surface, allowing them to feel the profound grace of the Prince Majesty once more, but he had also generously restored the Ancient Dwarf Elves' Alchemy Puppets Legion to them. For such acts, they felt compelled to erect monuments and compose eternal legends!

It must be understood that recovering the alchemical creations and lost techniques of the Ancient Dwarf Elves is the lifelong ambition of every Dwarf Elf alchemist—and with a mere wave of His Majesty's hand, those dreams were rapidly turning into reality.

Observing this, Ariel Watson was equally moved, her expression radiating enthusiasm.

Since the Blank Era, the Lord was undoubtedly the first person in the history of the Human Clan to command such profound respect from so many powerhouse figures of the Outer Region.

“This is merely the start.”

Sensing the fervor and joy of the gathered alchemists, Leo Ray offered a thin smile and remarked, “I am confident that through our collective dedication, the alchemical milestones we achieve will eventually be renowned across the world.”

While casually offering words of encouragement, Leo Ray followed Yonir’s lead as they continued their walk into the city.

Despite the late hour, the city streets remained vibrant and filled with voices.

Thousands of alchemists had congregated in small clusters, passionately debating their craft and sharing experiences, creating an environment thick with academic intensity at every turn.

The moment Leo Ray’s silhouette was spotted, every alchemist—whether inside a shop, a restaurant, or out in the square—offered a respectful salute, plunging the entire city into a sudden, reverent silence.

“Impressive. The lowest strength among them has reached the Tier Third, and there are many Tier 4 individuals as well.”

Leo Ray returned the gesture with a calm nod, noting to Yonir, “You realize that previously, a single Tier 4 alchemist was enough to be treated with the highest courtesy by any national royal family.”

“This is entirely due to Your Majesty’s unwavering support. You allocated a significant portion of the power-boosting slots to people like us; without that, how could these alchemists have transformed and reached such unprecedented heights!”

Yonir’s voice grew increasingly animated as he spoke with fervor, “This is a reality none of us would have dared to imagine before!”

As Yonir finished, high-ranking members of the Alchemist Association, including the three Sage Alchemists, nodded in solemn agreement. They looked upon Leo Ray with an adoration usually reserved for a deity.

“Alchemy, much like forging and magical craftsmanship, serves as the bedrock of the Human Clan. It is only logical that I prioritize its development,” Leo Ray replied, maintaining his faint smile and a slight nod.

Just as Yonir had noted, while the majority of the magical potions from the upgrades and war spoils had been funneled into the Human Clan’s warriors and generals, Leo Ray had consistently made time to upgrade the alchemists' production. By redistributing these gains back to them, this current prosperity was an expected outcome.

His original strategy remained unchanged: as the personal strength of the alchemists increased, the output of magical potions and alchemy puppets would naturally scale upward.

“Your Majesty, once we pass through this social hub, we will reach the training, research, and administrative sectors, followed finally by the alchemical district. That district also serves as the alchemists' living quarters, fitted with full soundproofing to ensure they are never interrupted during their work.”

Yonir explained the city's layout in detail as the group approached a massive structure at the city center.

Rather than a traditional castle, it was a complex of buildings. These housed areas for researching alchemical modules and puppets—utilizing the Lord’s talent—as well as vast warehouses and residences for administrators like Yonir and the brothers from the Outer Region.

Furthermore, a Lord’s Mansion had been established here to facilitate the rapid distribution and utilization of resources, serving as a node in the Lord’s network.

“Additionally, Your Majesty, the mass distribution of high-tier alchemical tools you provided has been vital. It has significantly boosted the production of magical potions, and the Outer Region alchemists cannot stop praising them!”

Yonir continued his enthusiastic report, and the alchemists from the Outer Region nodded along, each hoping to remain in Leo Ray’s good graces.

This wasn't empty flattery; the tools produced by the Lord’s Mansion were of exceptional quality, matching the standards of any third-class force in the Outer Region.

“Very well. I will craft some more soon, not just for those here, but for the alchemists back in your homelands as well.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and then dismissed the group to their duties, keeping only Yonir and a few Human alchemists with him.

Once they were alone, Leo Ray produced two scrolls containing Tier 5 Magic Pill recipes and placed them into Yonir’s weathered hands.

“Your Majesty, what is this?!”

Feeling the immense weight of importance radiating from the small scrolls, Yonir’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief.

By sensing the essence of the scrolls, he realized they contained two recipes for permanent strength-enhancing potions—knowledge typically guarded by only the first-class forces of the Outer Region!

“Accept them, old president. From this day forward, lead the alchemists with all your heart. I will not burden you with other duties unless the situation is dire,” Leo Ray said with a reassuring smile.

“Old president, I am entrusting the future of Human alchemy to you. Ensure these two magic potions are produced as quickly as possible.”

“Since Your Majesty has placed such immense trust in me, I shall give everything I have until my last breath!”

With trembling hands, Yonir once again knelt before Leo Ray.

Even in the Outer Region, such items were priceless treasures. To master and concoct such potions was the ultimate ambition of any alchemist’s life!

“Please, old president, stand up. There will be many more things like this in the future; my journey does not end here.”

Leo Ray helped the elderly man to his feet before turning to the others. “I am certain it won't be long before everyone here has the chance to master such legendary recipes.”

Hearing this, the remaining alchemists were filled with joy and excitement.

Leo Ray then provided Yonir with the necessary heavenly treasures, giving him full discretion over their use.

Regarding the two recipes, one was for Yonir, while the other was destined for the three Sage Alchemists.

Leo Ray had previously learned that these three were brothers possessing a unique bloodline trait. In the field of alchemy, they could achieve a unity of mind, allowing them to study different sections of a recipe simultaneously and collaborate perfectly to finish the concoction.

Thanks to this synergy, while they were perhaps slightly below Yonir in individual skill, they held the second highest rank of alchemical expertise within the Human Clan.

The estimated time for Yonir and the three Sage Alchemists to complete the alchemy was roughly one week, matching Leo Ray's prior information. Though the pace wasn't lightning-fast, it represented a massive breakthrough for their capabilities.

With the arrangements finalized, Leo Ray requested that no one see him off. He and Ariel Watson quietly exited the city, making their way back toward Ice Stone City.

However, just as they reached the city gates, a sudden and urgent mind talk transmission echoed in their ears.
