章 38: The Innate Evil of Alchemists

When people think of alchemists, they often imagine wealth—piles after piles of gold. And truth be told, most alchemists are indeed rolling in riches.

About those with no money? How could you even think of practicing alchemy without wealth?

After all, alchemists are notorious for their dealings with devils and demons.

But what do they desire most of all? The answer is simple: the legendary Philosopher's Stone, a myth to this day.

The Philosopher's Stone is the ultimate dream of alchemists, an artifact of unparalleled power, known as the "Great Miracle."

Legends say it can match any form of alchemy, acting as a universal, dream-like material. According to the varying schools of thought among alchemists, the Philosopher's Stone possesses unique properties and powers in each interpretation.

Turning lead into gold, eternal youth—those are the ancient, rotten ideas from bygone eras.
