Chapter 483: 158. The ignorant are greedy_2
“I know..” Mabel’s voice began to tremble:
“You..you… you Alchemy Cathedral already knew that there was a descendant of extraterrestrial pollution in the Black City, right? You have been using the power of this descendant, producing aberrations and multi-purpose metal powder in large quantities. You have even collaborated with the extraterrestrial pollution for so long, no wonder you have always stopped us from investigating aberrations with magic experiments…”
“It’s not too late for you to know now.” Madimanson replied casually:
“Did you think that our aberrations producing multi-purpose metal powder were just created out of thin air? We could only accomplish this feat by harnessing the power of extraterrestrial pollution. From your wizard’s perspective, the pollution zone is an infiltration event caused by extraterrestrial pollution. But in our view, it is just a malfunction of an alchemy device that produces multi-purpose metal powder. That Meaty Eye, rather than being a piece of extraterrestrial pollution, is a core alchemy component that is running abnormally. Once we adjust its operating parameters, the alchemy device that produces multi-purpose metal powder will naturally return to normal.”
In conflicts of ideology, both sides often mutter to themselves, thinking the other is an “idiot”. Madimanson and Mabel were likely in this state.
After hearing Madimanson’s theory, Mabel trembled, opened her mouth but could not find words. She didn’t know where to start to refute him.
From her perspective, all of Madimanson’s ideas were wrong, especially his starting point.
The Meaty Eye has the ability to produce aberrations, and the aberrations can produce multi-purpose metal powder. As for the wizards on the matter, the approach is to study the extraordinary capabilities of the Meaty Eye, excavate the principles and truths behind it, and then use magic to replicate its capabilities and make it an extraordinary power controlled by a wizard.
However, in the eyes of alchemists led by Madimanson, they view extraterrestrial pollution as a tool. As long as they set the operating parameters of the alchemy device and maintain it regularly, they can use extraterrestrial pollution to produce anything they want.
From Noland Lee’s perspective as an observer, both approaches to dealing with extraterrestrial pollution are viable.
The wizard’s approach requires a significant amount of time and effort, as well as numerous dangerous magic experiments. The cost of research is high, and it may not yield satisfactory results.
The approach of the alchemists is efficient, straightforward, low-cost, and rapid, but it is dangerous. Once the extraterrestrial pollutions get out of control, an infiltration event can occur.
Noland Lee reckoned that the alchemist’s approach would be appropriate if efficiency and quick outcomes were sought for in the short term. However, the wizard’s approach would be right in the long run.
Mabel, faced with her disagreement with the alchemists, was stunned for a full five seconds before she sighed:
“Sigh … Look around, Madimanson. The extraterrestrial pollution invasion that took place here destroyed most of the Fissure Corridor and many alchemists lost their lives. Even so, do you believe that it is worth keeping the extraterrestrial pollution in Union City?”
“Failure is the mother of success, setback is the inspiration for progress,” Madimanson responded dismissively:
“What happened here only proves that there were flaws in the alchemy devices we designed in the past, it doesn’t deny our alchemy principles of utility. Once we improve the alchemy device for producing the multi-purpose alchemy dust, this child of extraterrestrial pollution will have no chance to make trouble.”
Mabel asked:
“Is this your view or the Alchemy Cathedral’s view?”
Madimanson replied:
“This is the consensus of the Great Sages of the Alchemy Cathedral, with no objections, and I’m a steadfast supporter of this approach.”
Mabel fell silent. She moved aside on her magic broom, joining Noland Lee and becoming an observer.
Mabel did not voice her thoughts, but her stance was clear. She had given up on the idea of trying to reason with Madimanson and no longer wished to discuss matters with the Meaty Eye as a negotiator.
Noland Lee shook his head silently in his heart.
How did the saying go?
True despair is not loud quarreling.
Mabel’s state of mind at the moment surely aligns with this saying.
Without her interference, the conversation between Madimanson and the Meaty Eye went more smoothly.
They began to negotiate about the “production of multi-purpose metal powder”.
Madimanson hoped everything would return to the past, by going back to the old trajectory.
Madimanson wanted Meaty Eye to obediently return to the Sealed Space where it had been sealed after the pollution zone was removed.
With The Alchemy Cathedral developing a more efficient and safer alchemy array, the Meaty Eye would continue to supply extraordinary energy to the existing array within the Sealed Space. Once the new alchemy array was developed, the Meaty Eye would have to cooperate with the work of the Alchemy Cathedral.
If the Meaty Eye managed to escape the Sealed Space during this period, the Alchemy Cathedral would unite with the wizards to punish it.
Wait, what?
Union with the wizards to punish?
Mabel immediately voiced her objections.
