Nameless King

"Fine, now that we've dealt with everything, it's time to move on to the next stage." Wain said as he looked at Edena and Lui Bu, "Come on, it's time for you to take some blood from me."

"Sure." Edena nodded, "This will be my first time working with a resource at this level, but I hope I don't screw it up."

"Don't worry. I'm sure you have blood restoration potions, so we'll have a few tries if you need them." Wain waved his hand, stood up, and headed for the exit, following Edena and Lui Bu.

The others were slightly puzzled, though they knew this was going to happen, so they looked at each other and followed them.

"Hey! I'm actually wondering what's going to happen too!" Sarras exclaimed stepping forward with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I agree." Reto finished his wine, jumped off the couch as his silhouette dissolved, and in a heartbeat appeared next to Wain.

"Damn... I have so much work to do, but I have to waste my time on some experiments... I hope it will be worth it." Elegan shook his head, flying toward them on the purple magic circle.

The last people at the table were Frigus and Nicole. Frigus calmly stared ahead as if none of this mattered to him while Nicole stared at him. ɴovel(F)ɪre

"Agh..." Frigus sighed, "Okay, I'm curious too. Let's go see what Edena and Lui Bu are going to do."

Nicole smirked, "Hahaha, I knew it!"

...

The alchemy lab was in a cave behind the waterfall as before, it used to be just a few small rooms, but now it looked like a massive base of some secret organization.

"How many rooms are there? It's a real maze!" Wain wondered as he raised an eyebrow.

"Hah, actually most of these rooms are either storage rooms or some kind of greenhouse." Edena shrugged as she stopped at one of the metal doors.

She was a Construct, so unlike other places in this Void, everything here was very technological, as if from the future.

Tap.

Edena touched the door as the lock twisted on it, inserting the mechanical pieces into the cells as if solving a puzzle, then when everything fell into place, the door opened.

'Wow, when I didn't know there was energy in this world, having a door like this would have been my dream. It looks so damn cool!' Wain said inwardly as his eyes went wide.

Edena stepped inside, turned on the lights with a wave of her hand, and stepped to the side revealing a view of hundreds of blue potions.

"Hah, these potions are all the same type, aren't they?" Wain asked with a smirk.

Edena nodded, "There are a huge number of such rooms here, also besides the storage and greenhouses there are also factories here."

"Factories? Greenhouses? I don't understand." Wain was puzzled, "Is this a lab or a separate universe?"

"You'll get used to it." Edena shrugged, "I didn't expect it to get this big myself, but it just has to."

"Yeah..." Elegan nodded with a complicated look, "We put a hell of a lot of effort into the logistics... Damn, it was the hardest sleepless night of my life, but the result was worth it."

"Logistics? What are you talking about? Isn't this just a storage facility?" Wain asked in disbelief.

"Hah, it seems that if you're not in combat, your attention span drops off considerably." Elegan grinned, "Haven't you noticed yet that we're not alone here?"

Elegan and Edena looked at each other before heading forward. Wain followed them curiously as he only now realized that the warehouse had another side.

"What the hell...?" Wain muttered when he saw what was on the other side.

Several monsters were busy transferring potions from one speeding minecart to another. The minecarts would come from the left side, and after checking the potions as well as transporting them to the other wagons, they would leave to the right. Sometimes there were a few damaged potions among the potions, so the monsters had to get rid of them.

"Well... I guess I haven't been in my Void for too long... First I saw the gardener's skeleton, now I see the workers' monsters..." Wain spoke while shaking his head.

"Hahaha, you saw my guys, right?" Sarras laughed, "At first I thought it was a stupid idea, but skeletons are actually very useful as helpers!"

"So... This warehouse is just one of many items, right?" Wain asked as he turned to Edena.

"Yes." Edena nodded, "I and Lui Bu are only involved in making complex potions where knowledge and precise actions are required. For the more popular and simple potions, we use mechanisms and monsters. All it takes is quality instruction, a few days of training, and discipline."

"In fact, at first we couldn't get anything right, it was a real disaster." Lui Bu shook his head with a bitter smile, "However, when Frigus helped us, things became much easier."

"Hm? Frigus? Do you know anything about alchemy?" Wain turned to him.

"No." Frigus replied coldly, "Edena and Lui Bu made clear and simple recipes for potions, set up all the mechanisms, and trained the monsters, but the monsters were just too undisciplined. They were constantly distracted, straying from the norms or starting to fight each other altogether, obviously, it was impossible to work under those conditions."

"After Frigus came in the number of mistakes the monsters made became almost zero, so now out of a hundred potions only about two or three are defective." Lui Bu explained.

"I see." Wain nodded as he looked at the monsters. They were working pretty fast but still had a hard time distributing potions to the minecarts since there were quite a few potions.

"Everything else is just a stockpile just in case." Edena said as she waved her hand.

"Good job, I didn't even realize that with a lot of resources, alchemy could be partially turned into a real plant." Wain grinned as he was definitely pleased with their results.

"That's not all. You've already seen one of our warehouses, so it's time for you to visit one of our greenhouses." Edena said confidently with a sly smile.
