Bab 93: Chapter 93 - Third prince Gilbert

In the Jul Empire, power wasn't exclusively in the hands of ascendants. There was another group whose influence rivaled that of the most powerful nobles—alchemists.

These highly skilled individuals mastered the ability to craft potent pills and elixirs, capable of performing miracles. Their concoctions could heal the gravely injured, awaken latent powers in ordinary people, and alter the tide of battles.

The work of alchemists was invaluable, especially in times of war, where a single pill could be the deciding factor between triumph and defeat. Of course, not everyone could afford them.

For those aspiring to join the ranks of these revered alchemists, there existed the alchemist association.

The Alchemist Association was a powerful organization with a widespread network of branches across the empire. Its influence was so vast that it rivaled even the authority of dukes and marquises.
