Chapter 238 Flynn's Struggle
The ruins of the original Alchemy City have now been mostly cleared.
The dwarves work on the ground much faster than other races. Such a large sinkhole has now been filled up, and the outline of a city can be vaguely seen on it, and even the city walls have been mostly built.
If you look down from the sky, you can see many shadows of magic circles in the layout of the city, and a large amount of gold has been melted and poured everywhere in the city. The dwarves are really rich and dare to use gold to build the city.
It is conceivable that when the city is rebuilt it will be magnificent and indestructible.
Gustavo Fring's new home is within this city.
When the Alchemy City was destroyed, Gustavo Flynn fled to Silvermoon High Court, originally intending to settle down there.
Although the elves are xenophobic, he is a legendary alchemist and a well-known figure on the continent, so it should not be a problem for him to settle down there.
However, reality gave Gustavo Fring a loud slap in the face.
The elves drove him out... This might be a bit serious. They should have asked him to leave very politely, and then Silvermoon High Court was completely closed off from the outside world, with only the necessary trading channels for magical materials being opened.
Gustavo Flynn was stunned. This was totally beyond his expectation. He had just spent his last savings to buy a house in Silvermoon High Court. After this departure, Gustavo Flynn became a complete pauper.
"It's all because of that damn lich!"
Gustavo Flynn's hatred for Amber was so strong that it could not be dissolved.
The disappearance of the Alchemy City was related to Amberxiu. After talking with Amberxiu, the Elf Queen of Silvermoon High Court chose to close the country and expel all outsiders. Amberxiu had ruined his life plan twice in a row.
But no matter how much you hate it, life has to go on.
Gustavo Flynn returned to the Alchemy City after the war...Oh, now the city has been named the New Golden City by the Dwarf King.
Gustavo Fring needs to rebuild his laboratory and then resume his previous life.
Money was not a problem. Although he could not come up with more than a hundred gold coins, his name was still very valuable. Just by signing a few contracts, Gustavo Flynn received funding of several million gold coins.
In the past, Gustavo Flynn would not bother to even look at this small amount of money, but the disappearance of the Alchemy City took away most of the wealthy people, and it was not easy for the remaining small families to come up with so much.
This amount of money was not enough to rebuild his laboratory, but at least he didn't have to worry about food for the time being.
Gustavo Flynn was also not idle. He had been running around during this period. Relying on his fame, he finally established connections with the dwarves and met the Dwarf King.
Gustavo Flynn talked with the dwarf king for a whole day before he got his approval and allowed him to reorganize the Alchemist Council.
Of course, this parliament has no political power. It is just a semi-official organization and an industry association.
But this is not bad either. Gustavo Flynn just wants to use this organization to rebuild the alchemy system.
Smart people know that the mainland cannot do without alchemy. If he prepares himself now, he can make a fortune when public opinion recovers and return to the leading position in the industry.
In any industry, the top executives earn the most.
Fame, status and wealth, all these things will return to Gustavo Fring's hands.
In order to allow the Alchemist Council to quickly restore its influence, Gustavo Flynn broke the previous rules and invited not only alchemists, but also a large number of high-ranking officials from the Dwarf Kingdom and many local nobles to participate.
The Alchemist Council in the past never liked these dignitaries. Those who had not published an article in "Legendary Spells" were not even qualified to be an outside observer.
And now, alchemists have to humble themselves and socialize with these powerful people.
"Alas, when did alchemists fall to this level?"
Gustavo Flynn felt infinite emotion in his heart. The president was a little crazy, but when he was still around, alchemists were so glorious.
But he soon strengthened his confidence. Gustavo Flynn believed that one day he could reach the level of the president and turn this golden city into an alchemy city again.
The first step is to hold this establishment ceremony successfully.
The members of the Alchemist Council have already drawn up a list, and including Gustavo Flynn himself, there are only two legendary alchemists. The other legend is the court alchemist of the Dwarf Kingdom.
And this person is also a former member of the parliament who was expelled from the Alchemy City.
When the president wanted to start that crazy god-making plan, there was a lot of opposition in the parliament. He left the parliament because of differences in ideas. Who would have thought that he would go to the dwarves and work as a court alchemist for decades.
The biggest trouble now is this guy because he is preparing to compete with Gustavo Flynn for the position of president.
The election voting at the establishment ceremony is the key. Gustavo Flin must repeatedly confirm the intentions of the voters to ensure that he can win the election.
Most of the powerful people have already communicated with each other, and those who can be fought for have been fought for. The only ones left are the others on the list.
This was the advantage he had fought for. All guests who attended the founding ceremony were eligible to vote. If not, his opponent would have won long ago. After all, Gustavo Flynn was far inferior to his opponent in terms of connections with the Dwarf Kingdom.
Therefore, the minor nobles and unknown alchemists became the targets of Gustavo Fring.
The small nobles are easy to deal with, as most of them are locals and naturally stand on his side. These small nobles also need a spokesperson to represent the interests of the people of the former Alchemy City.
The real problem lies with the alchemists who are invited.
As we all know, alchemists all have a sense of truth above all else. If Gustavo Fring's opponent was not a legend, he would definitely win without canvassing for votes. The problem is that the two are of similar level, and their achievements in alchemy are also different, so these alchemists may waver.
You must get them all, otherwise you will lose.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Looking at the list in his hand, Gustavo Fring's pen stopped at the name Isabel.
The girl without a surname is obviously not of noble birth, but she became famous for refining a new type of youth potion. The beautiful girl and the rising star in the alchemy industry will make her an idol for many young alchemists, so Isabel's ticket is very important.
"It seems that I haven't received a reply to the invitation letter I sent before. I should go visit before the official start. Damn it, but I really can't spare the time these days."
Gustavo Flin's campaigning schedule is so full that it's hard to find time now.
Just when he was about to send his men to pay a visit, he heard the servant say that someone was here to visit.
Gustavo Flynn couldn't help frowning when he heard the visitor's name.
Dor Beck, this is the court alchemist of the Dwarf Kingdom and his former friend.
A moment later, a gray-haired, very thin man appeared in front of Gustavo Fring.
As soon as Dole Baker appeared, he got straight to the point and said, "Flynn, you're still worried about canvassing, right?"
“Baker, you should know very well that I will not give up the position of president. Did you come to me today just to say this nonsense?”
Gustavo Fring was not polite at all and an expression of disgust was written on his face.
But Dor Baker was not angry. He just said calmly: "Flynn, give up. I treat you as a friend and remind you. His Majesty the King will not allow an uncontrolled Alchemist Council to exist. Only I can be the president. If you continue to resist, there will be no good results."
"Humph, the Dwarf King has already promised us that the election results will be the final word, so why are you scaremongering us? How do you know that I won't be loyal to the Dwarf King after I become the president? As far as I know, your relationship with the Dwarf King is not very good, because when he was seriously ill before, your medicine was of no use to him.
"Now that the Dwarf King has recovered his health, has he begun to doubt your abilities? Or does he want to find a new court alchemist?"
Gustavo Flynn only regarded his opponent as someone who was trying to disrupt his plans. Perhaps he resorted to such threatening tactics because he felt he was going to lose. This seemed to be good news.
Dor Baker shook his head and said, "You will not pledge allegiance to anyone. You don't need me to remind you of this. You know it in your heart. As for the relationship between me and His Majesty, you don't need to speculate. I am only reminding you because of our past friendship. If you continue to fight, you will not only lose, but also end badly. Take my advice and admit defeat, and I can let you be the vice president."
"No need to waste time, we will know who wins and who loses when the time comes."
Gustavo Flynn refused to give in. He was determined to return to his former peak step by step.
Dor Baker glanced at his opponent, and his eyes swept across the table. He happened to see the circled name and asked, "Isabelle? I've heard of this name. She's a good young person. Are you going to win her vote?"
Gustav Flynn said coldly: "It's none of your business."
"Haha, of course it has nothing to do with me. I have no grudge against that lich. But you, don't you know that this girl is a student trained by that lich?"
