The crowd burst into discussions, with everyone echoing Oden’s assumption that a large organization like Tanjen must surely have a stockpile of pills.
After all, it seemed implausible for an organization of such scale to not have any reserves. However, when they saw Remus actually starting to refine pills to fulfill his promise, they knew the outcome had already been determined.
It was simply impossible to refine nearly 1000 pills in one day.
Everyone was in turmoil because they knew that if things continued this way, Tanjen would become a mere tool for these individuals’ pill refining, with no opportunity for others to request pills.
“Remus, I’m sorry!” Glinda spoke with difficulty, never having imagined that a single statement would cause such trouble.
The alchemists and disciples were even more panicked, resembling cats on hot bricks, feeling utterly helpless as they couldn’t refine top-grade pills themselves and were unable to offer any assistance.
Meanwhile, Oden watched with a mocking grin, confident that Remus couldn’t complete the task. He eagerly waited to see how long Remus could hold out before swiftly destroying Tanjen, settling both old and new grievances at once.
Remus was unaffected and focused solely on pill refining.
***
Time ticked away, and soon, two hours had passed.
Suddenly, the sound of a successful pill creation emanated from the furnace.
Upon hearing this, the entire scene instantly fell into a hushed silence, so profound that one could hear every person’s heartbeat.
Everyone’s eyes remained fixed on the furnace without a blink.
Remus pondered for a moment and then looked at the crowd. “If I open this furnace, you will no longer have a chance. If you kneel and apologize to favonovel.com now, I might consider forgiving you.”
He was notjust giving them a chance but also firming up his own determination.
Witnessing Remus’ resolute expression, the crowd broke out in a cold sweat. Even though they were aware that accomplishing the task was impossible, his unwavering gaze frightened them inexplicably.
They exchanged glances and finally spoke.
“Master Calsberg, we have already stated our position. Stop with the tricks and open it!”
“Just open it! I don’t believe you can refine hundreds of top-grade replenishing pills in one furnace. Stop playing tricks!”
“Open it!”
Before they could complete their sentences, Remus waved his hand, and the furnace was immediately opened, releasing a wave of medicinal fragrance that filled the air.
“Wait!” Almost simultaneously, Oden spoke again, turning to face everyone with arrogance. “You all heard the agreement just now. Starting tomorrow, Master Calsberg will be tirelessly occupied with refining pills! And soon, even if you desire top-grade pills, Master Calsberg won’t have the time to craft them. So, if you need pills, you better act quickly, haha!”
He aimed to utterly corner him, ensuring there was no room for a comeback. Furthermore, with everyone beginning to request pills, it appeared as though they were aligning with his side. The more people involved, the stronger the force to dismantle Tanjen.
His words out through the square like a chilling wind, instantly sending shivers down everyone’s spine.
“You’re shameless!” Glinda suddenly exclaimed, fully aware that fulfilling the task was already an impossibility, and yet favonovel.com was urging others to make demands, pushing them to the brink.
The people of Tanjen were also infuriated.
Oden remained entirely unperturbed and added, “If you don’t make your requests now, you might not get the opportunity to ask for pills in the future, as Master Calsberg will be serving them for a lifetime, haha!”
“I want the pill!” said someone.
Finally, someone couldn’t hold back and stood up, struggling to say, “Master Calsberg, if you hadn’t agreed to their terms, I would have certainly supported you. However, since you’ve agreed, it’s impossible to fulfill! I even risked my life to aid you before. The pills are rightfully owed to me. You must provide them!”
Another person chimed in, “He’s absolutely correct, Master Calsberg. You must provide me with the pills today. If you’re going to be refining for them in the future, wouldn’t all my previous efforts be in vain? I also demand the pills!”
Individuals demanding the pills stood up one after another, and in the blink of an eye, nearly ten more had requested for pills.
Henry was on the verge of tears, his frustration evident as favonovel.com shouted, “This is the most challenging moment for Tanjen, can’t you all show some patience? You’re driving Tanjen up the wall!”
