The actions of the Alchemist Association were beyond everyone's expectations.

The Sky Fortress was handed over to the Alchemist Association only after various organizations judged it to be completely "shot down." For the Alchemist Association, it had reference value—in fact, the World Reflection, an alchemy item, was said to have been created by Adeline with the Sky Fortress as a reference.

Of course, people had thought about the possibility of the Alchemist Association repairing the Sky Fortress.

However, the Alchemist Association directly built a city on the Sky Fortress, which put people at ease. You've built a city on it, even if the fortress is repaired, would you dare to ascend it? Aren't you afraid the buildings on it will be destroyed?

As it turns out, the Alchemist Association wasn't afraid at all.

The Sky Fortress rose abruptly, bearing the entire Kenku Island, supporting the will of the alchemists, and soared into the sky.

The World Reflection is a massive ring encompassing the entire Sky Fortress, capable of transferring incoming attacks. Abinu's Mirror is inverted above the Sky Fortress, reflecting another Sky Fortress, making it hard to discern which one is real.

These are merely the most basic powers of the two alchemy items.

At this moment, wielding the Alchemist's Staff and controlling three alchemy items, Miracle Source Adeline's might had truly reached its peak.

Even during the Demon King era, such terrifying war machines were never born.

It appears that the World Reflection and Abinu's Mirror are alchemy items used for defense, but the Sky Fortress itself has powerful firepower—besides, this is the Alchemist Association. No fool would think that the Alchemist Association lacks offensive power. The alchemy of destruction is an eternal topic of this association.

In fact, the Alchemist Association has a large group of people dedicated to researching what kinds of alchemy items can create more intense explosions.

Adeline even issued a series of regulations requiring this group of alchemists to carry out safety protections first during alchemy experiments.

Thus, Kenku Island at this moment is a veritable war machine, possessing the power to even conquer a kingdom.

And now, they demand an "explanation."

…

"Truly exaggerated." Upon receiving the relevant news, Mohe was a bit surprised. She wasn't surprised that Adeline would take action, but such aggressive measures were outside her expectations.

To put it simply, the place that previously suppressed Mohe's right hand, the Divine City Nalune, now belongs to the Alchemist Association.

This is the explanation given by the church.

Adeline led the Sky Fortress and directly showed the intention to "explode" with the Alchemist Association against the church. In such a situation, the church couldn't possibly confront Adeline head-on. The church has three holy artifacts, and Adeline also has three extremely terrifying alchemy items. What if they really fought? Even if the Alchemist Association is wiped out, so what?

Can the church still resist the Mage Union and the Curse Master Alliance?

Impossible.

Of course, the Divine City Nalune itself has special significance. Although Lisidorwei previously sounded the horn in this place, nearly destroying it, and Charlette also fled directly from this place—this place is now essentially desolate.

The church knows clearly Adeline's purpose; she wasn't here to ask the church for accountability at all. Her real objective is to elevate the Alchemist Association… She wants this force to become the next White Church.

This force, which originally seemed the most honest and equitable, doing business with many powers and far from the mainland, is now beginning to show its claws to develop in the coming chaotic times.

In this situation, unless Charlette immediately came forward with the three holy artifacts to confront Kenku Island. To forcibly prevent this island from landing, otherwise, no one can stop the Alchemist Association.

And Charlette took no action.

Actually handing over the Divine City poses a great problem, but considering the present, the best thing to do is to give away this city. After all, the church is too lazy to rebuild it. Considering the core issue of what scale the Divine City should be rebuilt to? To what extent should it be rebuilt? How much manpower and resources need to be invested?

This is not a natural process of city development, but an entire reconstruction of the city.

The concepts are entirely different, and the investments and efforts required are different too.

It's better to simply give it to the Alchemist Association.

Of course, this process was not as easy as imagined, with many open and hidden fights.

But Mohe was not clear about the specific process. When she received the news, Kenku Island was floating over Nalune, and the alchemists had moved from overseas to the mainland.

"Mr. Doro! Hurry up! Today is the day to sell in the nearby 'Sim City'!"

The first batch of Mohe's wine had fermented and been bottled.

She named her wine "Fallen Wine," intending to advertise it as "those who drink this wine will fall."

Of course, many wines are advertised with such slogans.

The actions of the Alchemist Association sparked huge problems. Now everyone's nerves are tense, fearing that war could break out at any second, yet the leaders of the major organizations are somehow holding it together.

This is indeed a rather incredible situation.

But to Mohe, all of this doesn't matter. She had already paid in advance in Sim City and booked a space to rent as a wine shop.

So only Lisidorwei stayed behind to watch the house, while Rose and Doro were brought by her to Sim City.

Determined to make her first business deal.

"Rose, you'll take this sign, wear the maid outfit, and use your charm to seduce those men into buying wine. As a Charming Demon, it's time for you to do your part."

Was she thinking of turning Rose into a Charming Demon for this scheme from the start?

Doro and Rose couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts.

"Lord Mohe, this, this probably isn't appropriate. If you do this, how will it highlight the quality of your wine? Do you really think what you've brewed won't sell?"

"Do you think that kind of goading works on me?" Mohe rolled her eyes at Rose. "Spare me the useless talk."

So Rose immediately went to Doro's side, holding onto his arm without saying a word.

"Speaking of which, Mohe, it's been a while since I handed the materials to you, and you haven't got Lisidorwei's matter ready yet?"

"My dear Mr. Doro, why don't you first help me settle the issue with the right hand? I need to absorb the right hand first, then modify Lisidorwei. Lisidorwei's transformation is different from Rose's. It requires a lot more power."

Mohe had been back from Kenku Island for two or three weeks, but she indeed hadn't retrieved her lung from there.

"What were you doing on Kenku Island?"

"Nothing much, just placed a little curse to change hearts. It seems that the Miracle Source Miss has been pressured by the alchemists' will, forced to do things she didn't want to. I originally thought Charlette would be more decisive... did you scare her off?"

She cast a somewhat reproachful glance at Doro: "If you hadn't beaten her, maybe she would have gone to war with the Alchemist Association directly. That's the situation I wanted to see."

"But didn't I bring you the right hand?"

"If you hadn't intervened, I'd have already gone to retrieve the lung and right hand."

Mohe replied testily, then continued, "Although this situation isn't too bad, the fact that you heroes' squad members can withstand this much is beyond my expectation. It turns out you can't look at them with the same eyes anymore… The growth and change of humans are always so astounding. If something like this happened when they besieged me back then, those guys would definitely have already started fighting."

But back then, even if they started fighting, they would quickly make up.

That wouldn't be the case now.

Now, if they were to fight, it would be life and death… indeed quite different.

Doro pondered internally: "How much revenue do we need to meet today?"

"Today we brought two hundred bottles of wine for a trial, so at least we need to sell them all, right?"

"Aren't you overthinking it? Have you ever done business?"

Mohe shook her head: "I've never done serious business, but making a deal with humans is a simple matter, isn't it?"

Doro vaguely saw the golden glint reflected in Mohe's eyes.

Isn't that unnecessary?

"I also have no business experience, and Rose probably doesn't either. If we can sell half today, that would be impressive. Moreover, I heard there might be local merchants suppressing us or something. Are you planning to solve problems with force?"

"What are you thinking? I'm a legitimate, compliant merchant. This is the first step in building my business empire. When we make money, we can bribe the local nobility, mingle and secure a minor noble title — then, during a war, donate some gold coins, exchange for a merit title to officially become a noble lord."

Do you, venerable Demon King, care about human noble titles?

Is she treating this as a game?

It seems like she's quite immersed in the role now…

However, even if Mohe truly thinks so, it doesn't seem to matter much. After all, a Demon King busy doing such things seems less threatening, whereas her being busy with other matters would be somewhat terrifying.

Sim City is a very ordinary city, neither too developed nor particularly barren, just a very average city wherever you place it.

As for specialties, there are basically none.

Although Mohe previously said to gradually make Baixi Town a city, before that, they first need to make the name of their wine known.

The experts she hired earlier were also experts from Sim City.

"I have a bad feeling." Doro pondered for a moment, still voicing these words.

Mohe looked at him puzzled.

"I always feel like we're going to run into someone we know."

"…Are you sure it's not because you have too many old flames that you feel this way?" Mohe was instantly a bit speechless.
