104 It Was This Simple (1/2)
'It seems like I'll have to live with this cousin for a few days…' Lin Yun chuckled and told a servant to take very good care of his older cousin before leaving for the Gilded Rose with the old butler.
The development of the Gilded Rose had been very quick recently. The old butler had opened thirteen branch stores in the past ten days, which now covered all of Thousand Sails City, but most of the time people would call these branch stores something like the Lion King Street Gilded Rose or the Quality Research Street Gilded Rose... Only the store on the Victorious Return Street would be directly called the Gilded Rose.
By this point, the Gilded Rose was already considered a giant on the Victorious Return Street. It occupied a whole street and was comparable in size with the Sage Tower it was facing.
But whether it was the old butler or Lin Yun, they both felt that gathering too many alchemy items in one location wasn't good.
Thus, a part of the street was rebuilt as a technology center, a great number of alchemy workshops and a great number of alchemy laboratories, so that every Alchemist had the best work environment possible. As for the storefront, all that remained the same was the original Gilded Rose so that when people came for the first time, they couldn't see that it was the 1st Gilded Rose alchemy shop of Thousand Sails City.
After Lin Yun entered the Gilded Rose, he went to the 2nd floor after greeting a few alchemists.
Since the Gilded Rose was booming, it had been a long time since Lin Yun had made something himself. Even if he occasionally got a few precious magic materials, Lin Yun would give them to Faleau and wouldn't bother asking if they'd been wasted.
Like this, he would be able to reduce the amount while letting Faleau accumulate a lot of experience.
That young Alchemist broke through his bottleneck two days ago to become a true Great Alchemist.
This was the first Great Alchemist of the Gilded Rose besides Lin Yun.
Lin Yun came today to chat with Faleau so that they could plan his path from here on.
After all, the Great Alchemist rank was very important. At the peak of the Magic Civilization, becoming a Great Alchemist was considered taking the first step on the path of alchemy. If someone took improper detours on their path, it wouldn't be as easy to fix as before. Some paths might lead a Great Alchemist with boundless prospects to fail and be unable to get any decent achievements.
Lin Yun waited for a bit in his laboratory before a knocking sound echoed at the door, but when the door was opened, Lin Yun was surprised by the newcomer. Instead of Faleau, it was Remy.
”Remy, what is it?”
”It's like this… Boss Merlin, there is a guest outside. He said he was your older cousin. He said that you had to go down immediately… To go down to meet him…” Now that he had officially become an Alchemist, Remy couldn't help feeling nervous when facing Lin Yun.
