Chapter 434 432:Isn't This Scam
Alex slumped down on the couch after dealing with troublesome things.
He was able to take out the black roots of the upper echelon of Lockheart\'s Merchant Group but who knows how many moles might be there inside it which need cleansing.
\'I have to ask Riya to massage my shoulders.\'
Zach who stood still after everyone left coughed a little and asked.
"Will you leave them after this?"
"And what will you do about the things you asked for?"
Zach was still skeptical that Alex let them live. The look of anger in his eyes when he found their history was enough to kill them thousand times.
Yvonne\'s face appeared on his face.
He wondered what she would do when he knew about the betrayal.
Will she feel heartbroken and sad?
\'I don\'t think so?\'
As far as Alex knew, Yvonne would surely find a way to turn around things in her favor.
"I will let them live for now and about the nobles."
"Those things will come in handy in the future" Alex spoke with a vicious smile.
"By the way, why are you standing like a statue?"
"Take a seat, it\'s your office after all."
"No, it\'s not mine. Everything is yours. I am just a servant." Zach spoke hurriedly in fear.
\'Who knows what will happen if I say it\'s mine? My head might be sent flying for real.\'
Alex squinted his eyes and felt that he might have terrorized this man unknowingly.
"I am ordering you as your master to sit down."
Zach nodded and immediately sat down before Alex.
Ales leaned up and his expression became serious.
"Zach, the next thing we are going to do is going to be instrumental in helping Arkham to get on its feet."
Zach flinched a bit wondering what he was going to do now.
Alex took out his ring and put it on the table.
"There are the corpses of the beast darkness in it. You can sell it in the market or give it to the royal family."
The corpses affected by darkness are quite valuable and the Royal needs them more than ever to find out something.
"And now let me show you the thing that is gonna make the miracle happen."
Alex took out a small vial and placed it before Zach.
Zach stared at it carefully to the point that it felt like his eyes were gonna pop out of the socket.
But then he frowned as he felt that the thing inside it was nothing but ordinary water.
"Can I take a look?" Zach asked.
"Sure."
Zach opened it and took out a few drops over his palm and his expression hardened as he saw it was water.
"Are you talking about this?"
"Yeah!"
"This is a miracle."
"Yes!"
Zach glanced at Alex\'s blank expression and thought as if he was joking with him and said"Isn\'t this just water?"
"This isn\'t just any water but blessed water." Alex corrected.
"Blessed water...Why do we need blessed water? Isn\'t it quite common?"
"Tsk!" Alex clicked his tongue and spoke, "The strength of the blessed water depends on the one who blessed this."
"Normal priests and clergy blessed with water are way worse than the higher bishops and others."
"The blessed water of Pope and Saintess is of the highest grade but since they aren\'t making it, we are going to do it."
"This holy water is blessed by me and is one of the strongest blessed waters," Alex said with a straight face.
He wasn\'t lying about this.
Only Pope and Athena can make higher grades than him. He didn\'t know about the Head Saintess though.
Alex could also compare to them once he ranks up.
"Okay, I understand. But what are we going to do with it."
"Listen to my words carefully Zach."
"Arkham is taking care of miasma but it isn\'t taking care of the side effects. Just dispelling and purifying Miasma isn\'t enough."
"One needs to take care of the lands after dispelling otherwise it would turn into waste."
One needs a very strong divinity to neutralize all the effects of miasma. When Alex purified his Kingdoms previously, the production of the land decreased but Athena took care of it.
Athena\'s purification was so strong that buds turned into trees and flowers bloomed at the same time when she cast purification.
"Arkham had neglected that thing before that\'s why the situation is like this. With demons rampaging and all kinds of troubles popping out, they weren\'t able to focus on this. If there was just a single person who could find out about this, the situation would be different."
"The Pope and Head Saintess are in the Church near the neutral zone which is near the rocky mountains of Dwarf."
"And that\'s where we came to the rescue," Alex spoke with a smile.
"We sell this. We will mix with other water substances and ask them to water the crops and plants and see the immediate effects."
The effect of miasma went deep into the soil surface which needed to be purified but the purification done by Church clergy only covers the surface so the things below are left out.
Holy water would seep into the soil and take care of things inside.
"That means, we are going to sell holy water," Zach murmured, assessing Alex\'s words.
And then he screamed, "But if we do this we face severe backlash."
"Isn\'t it a scam?"
"Who said we will sell holy water?"
"Name this Golden water, a natural fertilizer that would increase productivity."
"We are also going to mix other things to make it golden in color."
"Its price should be kept around 1 copper coin which will allow everyone to purchase it."
"Also sell some fertilizer with it and try to spread this throughout Arkham. One drop of the vial is enough to use with 50 liters of water."
"Sir, will it be okay for us to do this?"Zach spoke with a frown.
"We may attract too much attention this way, Sir," Zach asked.
"We can\'t avoid that."
"It\'s okay as long as the people we attract are good but it\'s also okay if we attract some rotten apples and dig them out."
