From Alchemy Apprentice to All-Powerful God King

The next morning, Matthew went out as usual, with Luca following behind. The two of them arrived at the alchemy arena with ease.

As soon as you enter the gate, all eyes are drawn to you.

"It's Matthew."

"Watch out, everyone, that kid's back again!"

Immediately, news of Matthew's arrival at the alchemy arena spread like wildfire.

In an instant, everyone gathered around, wanting to settle scores from yesterday.

"Matthew, you actually dare to come here?"

Although he didn't do anything wrong, the problem was that when they finally started fighting, this kid actually ran away.

Fortunately, the Knights arrived in time, otherwise the Alchemy Arena would have had to close for maintenance today.

"Why can't I come?" Matthew asked with a smile.

"because....."

The person who spoke thought for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't come up with a solution.

"Because if it weren't for us, you wouldn't have lost money, wouldn't have lost face by being taken away by the knight, so you want to regain your face, is that it?"

On the contrary, Luca, standing to the side, pointed out the truth incisively.

This immediately caused embarrassment to appear on the faces of the group.

"you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Getting anxious again, huh? Looks like I was right."

Luca's sharp tongue is quite biting, and the key is that he criticizes the entire team, leaving none of them daring to retort.

Seeing this, Matthew signaled that it was alright, explaining that he hadn't come here to cause trouble.

"We're not here to cause trouble. Everyone can compete fairly. After all, it's all alchemy competition, it's just a matter of winning or losing."

"If you don't like me, then say it in the ring."

The first half of what he said sounded alright to everyone, but the second half made even Luca behind him feel a little strange.

"Fine! You're arrogant enough, kid. You'll regret it!"

Seeing that there was a way out, the group took the opportunity to say a few harsh words and then left.

As the crowd dispersed, Matthew returned to the casino. This time, however, the staff greeted him with utmost respect upon seeing him.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, their boss Russell gave them special instructions when he returned yesterday.

They said that whenever Matthew comes, they must take good care of him and never make him unhappy.

"Hey bro, you're here again. Want to place some bets today, or maybe you'd like to go up and try your luck?"

Seeing the casino clerk's suddenly improved attitude, it was obvious that Russell had given prior instructions.

"Let's take a look first, no rush."

After reviewing the competition records, Matthew discovered something interesting.

From the very first alchemy arena, Noah has been there. Although it has only been two months, he has participated in nearly a thousand matches.

The key is that they've never won before, except for yesterday's game when they were lucky.

Upon seeing this, the shop assistant joked, "This kid comes every day and loses every day. He hasn't made much money, but his skills have improved quite a bit."

If we're talking about who's the most famous in the ring, then Noah undoubtedly deserves a spot.

Because as long as he plays, everyone can win by betting against him.

Even Matthew had some impression of him, not because of the white vapor above his head, but because Luca had mentioned him to him a couple of times last night.

This guy came with his family's influence, and he's probably after the ruins of the Angelic Church.

"Did he come today?" Matthew asked.

The shop assistant thought for a moment and nodded: "He's here. He's always the first one here every day. He's probably sparring in the ring right now."

Following the shop assistant's directions, Matthew arrived at Noah's arena, which was the most popular place even in the morning.

"Noah, please, please don't let your luck run out!"

"I lost all my underwear yesterday, so I'm counting on you to make some of it back today."

None of the bettors in the audience wanted Noah to win, especially since his reputation was extremely high, except for yesterday's unexpected turn of events.

As expected, Noah created yet another incomplete demonic insect, which lost the contest.

"It's still the same as before..."

Noah casually put the demonic insect into the Ring, showing no sign of disappointment, as if he had already anticipated this outcome.

As they walked off the stage, they happened to see Matthew and his companion, and asked in surprise, "You two still dare to come?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I haven't done anything wrong." Luca remained nonchalant.

Noah thought about it and realized that it did seem to be true.

"Let's go, let's find a place, I have some questions I want to ask you."

Matthew got straight to the point, saying that besides making money, he also had another purpose for coming today: to inquire about the Angelic Church.

After getting away from the crowd, the three found a secluded spot.

"What do you want?"

Noah was also completely bewildered. Why would a first-tier ability user who had suffered a thousand consecutive defeats in alchemy seek him out?

"We'd like to buy some information from you, of course, in the form of alchemy recipes and tutorials."

"What should I buy?"

Upon hearing this, Noah was indeed somewhat tempted. He hadn't made much substantial progress in alchemy after so many days, and his family would never agree to him going to the Alchemy Guild to learn.

If you could learn alchemy techniques from Matthew, that would actually be a good choice.

Matthew was very direct and stated his purpose.

"Information about the ruins of the Angelic Church."

In an instant, the air became quiet.

After a moment of silence, Noah looked at Matthew and said, "I don't actually know much."

"It's alright, just tell me what you know, and I can guarantee your alchemy skills will improve."

Upon hearing this, Noah no longer hesitated. In any case, these rumors would spread sooner or later, so it wasn't a big deal to say them out loud.

"Okay, I'll tell you then, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else."

Matthew and Luca nodded, promising not to tell anyone else.

This matter can be traced back to before the establishment of the empire, that is, more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, there were no empires or guilds; there were only various churches and the papacy.

Each occupied a territory and controlled its own area.

The Angelic Church was the ruler of this region a hundred years ago.

Otherwise, just a little bit of news wouldn't have attracted so many forces within the empire.

However, in the long course of history, after the rise of the empire, the Angelic Church was listed as a dangerous organization and a faction of demonic cultivators, and was subjected to a large number of attacks, so it gradually faded from everyone's sight.

It was only after the empire itself intervened and wiped it out that it completely disappeared.

However, there is not much relevant information recorded in that period of history; all that is known is that the master of the Papacy eventually disappeared with his secret treasure.

Now that news of the Angelic Church has suddenly emerged, how can it not excite people?

That's a power that can rival an empire; there must be a lot of stuff in the ruins.

After hearing the information Noah revealed, Matthew's expression grew increasingly serious.

If that's the case, then the empire certainly won't give up this opportunity; things don't seem as simple as they appear.
