Hero of Darkness

chemists despite the heavy demand.
Each one was a brand on their own.
These people were just as respected and in demand as Saint Blacksmiths and Artificers.

Saints were already rare in the world.
Even among them, those who reached this rank in Alchemy were like miracles.

And there were over 20 Peak Grandmasters like Armin already so this general had no advantage in this empire in terms of skills.

Armin took this chance and made Edmunds acquaintance while introducing himself as Darwin Groedari, his current persona in the Elven Empire.
As he himself was a saint, Edmund decided to give him face and shared a meal with him.

There, they talked about various things related to Alchemy.

But during that exchange of pleasantries Armin learned that Edmund came here to establish a company of his own and was actually a very rich person with a backing of an Exalted Noble clan.

And thus, he needed a lot of resources that grew in either natural habitats or dungeons to officially start his company.

Right then, Armin revealed his background to the saint alchemist as one of the commanders of Misthios.

Even Edmund was taken aback because he had already heard about Misthios guild.

Alchemists often needed resources that risked their lives in finding, thus hiring adventurers and mercenaries was a common thing.
So he obviously inquired about the top guilds of the city.

Hence, Edmund decided to come and meet Legolas after Armins recommendation.

Legolas then shifted the topic of conversation to business real quick.

Edmund was in need of a large amount of resources and didnt lack money.
But time was of the essence for him.

Legolas then told how they usually did business in terms of payment policy.

The 2nd stage human saint was elated and also felt inclined to officially hire them as well.

But right when they were at the end of their conversation

[Master make a deal beneficial for me.] said Armin and relayed a few plans of his own.

Kahn then decided to make a proposition.

Mister Edmund actually, I have a business plan for you since youre planning to settle in Alfheim.

This will be beneficial to both you and our organizations in the long run.
spoke Legolas in a calm voice.

Edmund was surprised but then gestured that he would at least listen.

From now on, our guild will provide your organization that you will establish with all the materials required.

Also, our services to your company will be provided free, it includes the protection of your assets and employees as well.
proposed Legolas.

Well it does sound like a tempting offer.
So whats the other side of the deal? queried Edmund, his voice revealing his age to be a man in his mid-30s.

In return I have two conditions.

One, your company should become our official business partner.
he stated confidently.

Hmm I might consider it.
Whats the other? asked the human alchemist with a curious gaze.

A deal like this would greatly save his expenses and solve many troubles even if he had to share profits.

Because in the end, he too knew about the reputation and might of Misthios guild.

As the last one its a very simple one.
spoke Legolas as he revealed his intentions.

Make Darwin your disciple.
