After close to two months, the city lord has almost finished gathering resources and people to start the war.

  Inside the boratory in Winter City's pace, the originally empty boratory has been filled with people.

  Except for Lacius and Hars, there are now eight additional children. The youngest is only fifteen years old, while the oldest has just recently turned nineteen.

  After Lacius decided to spread the name of alchemy, he has chosen some of the children that he had brainwashed as subordinates and taught them how to craft some alchemy potions.

  Together with Hars, he imbued the idea that he is a god who has brought the gift of alchemy to mankind in those children.

  Within less than two months, those children's love for alchemy and awe of Lacius can be seen increasing at an arming speed.

  Their knowledge about alchemy has also reached a point he is satisfied with.

  Seeing how those children can already be of use, Lacius decided to unch his pn.

  Before the city lords decided to start an all out war and cut off any connection with the Sacred Kingdom and the temple he had pnted in their city. He decided to spread his name as the god of alchemy and started a pn to raise his status to a greater height.

  Lacius motioned to everyone who was busy crafting potions, "Stop crafting those potions. I want you to start the pn we've prepared before those city lords could unch a war.

  Hars and the children nodded. They quickly finished crafting the potions in their hand before storing them in a container.

  Lacius said, "Hars, you'll handle one city alone. Bring an earth element blessed and two sculptors to proceed with the pn."

  Then Lacius looked at the eight children, "The eight of you will spread into three groups and visit the temple in the remaining three cities. Like Hars, each group will be accompanied by a strong earth element blessed and two sculptors."

  Lacius stared at them with a deadpan expression. "I want you to bring glory to my name and make the miracle I granted be known far and wide."

  They excitedly nodded their head and brought several containers and filled them with healing potions and ingredients required to do alchemy.

  Mounting those containers on their horses, Hars and the children exited Winter City with their companion and traveled toward the four city lord's cities.

  As for Lacius, he also didn't rest and began to concoct alchemy potions while occasionally checking the war preparation.

  Whether transporting excess food from other cities as rations, or gathering well bodied men as soldiers. The amount of time required to make the preparation has greatly increased because of Cedric's warning.

  Although Lacius felt he had been slightly more favored by the creator than the others. But he won't dare to take a bet and test the creator's bottom line.

  ***

  By the time Hars arrives inside Brown Oak city, one of the cities whose city lord has prepared for war. He went straight toward the temple together with the high leveled earth element blessed and the sculptors that accompanied him.

  Once all of them arrived in the temple, Hars warmly greeted the priests that met him before stopping one of the priests he's familiar with. "Please ask some people to bring the containers pced in the horses to my room. Remind them to do it gently, otherwise the thing inside will break."

  The priest nodded his head rapidly, "Yes, high priest."

  Leaving the priests to unload his containers filled with potions, Hars went towards the main hall.

  Looking at a five meter tall statue of the creator enshrined at the end of the hall, Hars ordered the earth element blessed and sculptor next to him. "There are three four meter tall blocks of marble that have been prepared. I want you to build a statue of His Majesty the king according to the previous design within three days. The statue will be three meter tall and pced next to the creator's statue."

  One of the middle aged sculptors who has some white beard gently combed his beard while looking at the lifelike statue of Cedric that's also made of marbles.

  When he heard Hars's request, the middle aged sculptor shook his head. "It's impossible to make a lifelike one within a month. Let alone three days."

  "I don't need a lifelike statue. As long as people know it's His Majesty the king, then it's enough. Just do as best as you can for three days" Hars said.

  He then looked at the earth element blessed, "Furthermore we have a high level earth element blessed to help you with the sculpting. He'll listen to the two master's requests."

  The earth element blessed with a huge build smiled at the two sculptors. "The two masters can depend on me."

  The two sculptors paused and began calcuting in their mind, then both of them discussed with each other for a minute before nodding.

  The white bearded middle aged sculptor gently spped the earth element blessed in his back. "Then what're you waiting for? Quickly help us bring the three marble block."

  The earth element blessed nodded and went towards the room where the marble is stored. He controlled the floor under the marble to envelop the bottom part of the marble to make sure it won't accidentally fall. Then, he controlled the ground under the marble to move toward the hall.

  With his ability, the marble glided through the floor as if it's ice.

  Once the marble arrived next to Cedric's statue, the two sculptors pointed at many parts of the marble block, "Help us make a rough outline."

  The earth element blessed wiped the sweat on his forehead and began using his ability on the marble to create some crack following the two sculptor's commands.

  Seeing the three of them are already getting busy, Hars left the hall while checking the container that's currently unloaded.

  Hars accompanied the people that's holding his containers into a room in the temple and checked the things held inside.

  After taking away the cottons that work as cushions for the potion bottles inside the container, Hars found that two potions had shattered.

  Luckily he has brought close to a hundred cheap healing potions and many processed potions ingredients.The two cracked bottles won't cause too much problem nor dey the pn.

  While Hars checked the status of the temple while listening to the report regarding the city lord's movement, he told the priests under him to proceed with the pn to introduce the god of alchemy to the people. "Spread the word, in three days the god of alchemy shall grant their miracles in this temple."

  Those priests have been warned ahead about the god of alchemy and his miracle. So, they aren't too shocked by what Hars said.

  Instead, they began to methodically spread the news of a god's miracle throughout the city.

  Three days after Hars arrived in Brown Oak city, he checked the progress of Lacius's statue and praised the two sculptors and the earth element blessed.

  Although not as lifelike as the creator's statue. The statue depicting Lacius still has a lot of resembnce to him even though some details are a bit blurry.

  'Let's proceed with the next step.' Hars exited the hall and saw many people had gathered in front of the temple.

  Without much nonsense, he asked several priests to bring people that had some injuries on their body.

  From hunters that have just been injured during a hunt to guards that have been injured from stopping magical beasts from entering the city, Hars brought them to stand above a ptform in front of the temple.

  Seeing the injuries on those people, Hars thought, 'Luckily not all people blessed with healing power are as selfless as granny Maude and Rinya.'

  'The only blessed with healing power in this city should be under the command of the city lord and has only healed the city lord's subordinates. Otherwise there wouldn't be this many people with light injuries that the potions can work with.'

  When there were already dozens of people, he stopped the priest from pulling more people and brought several potions. "The god shall show their miracle."

  He applied those potions on their wounds, and soon all of the wounds began to heal.

  To achieve a better effect, Hars has even pulled an expensive healing potion to heal a guard whose arms seems to have been bitten by a beast.

  After many people had seen how Hars healed wounds without using blessed powers, he shouted, "The god of alchemy has descended into the world and took the form of His Majesty Lacius to bring a new dawn on this world."

  "Not being blessed isn't the end. Under the creator's will, the god of alchemy has taken pity on the humans and taught the art of the gods, alchemy, to us!...." Hars continued his passionate speech for a few minutes and left.

  Before leaving, Hars shouted, "Spread the word! The temple will accept a few chosen people to receive the blessing from the god of alchemy and study the art of alchemy. Those interested may talk to the priests in the temple"

  Once he exited the spotlight, Hars reminded a priest that has long become his subordinate, "Proceeds according to the pn, try to prioritize accepting doctors and hunters with experiences. Except for those two, focus on children with a certain education level. Teaching this group of people will be easier and will show results faster."

  The priest in charge of accepting people nodded his head as Hars continued, "Tomorrow morning, gather the people that met the criteria in the temple's back garden."

  Once the priest left, Hars switched his attention toward the hall where Cedric and Lacius's statue was erected. In the previously empty hall, many people who already accepted Lacius as the god of alchemy have begun their prayer.

  Upon seeing it, he knew this part of the pn had been completed. After praying in front of Cedric's statue for a moment, Hars returned to his room.

  Now, he needs to prepare for the next part of the pn to teach the selected people knowledge about alchemy.

  When the next day arrived, Hars entered the temple's back garden together with a few priests and the earth element blessed he brought from Winter City. There, he saw twenty people of varying age and gender.

  Twelve of them are tanned male with many wounds on their body, while six are teenagers wearing expensive looking clothes. Those teens should be children of someone rich or a noble's child.

  Except for them, there is a pair of elderly couples wearing pin white robes. A faint smell of herbs can be smelled from them.

  As someone whose body has also been filled with smells of herbs from doing alchemy, Hars is familiar with the smell those two exudes. 'They should be the doctor that has been successfully recruited.'

  Standing in front of them, Hars smiled, "Greetings, I have arrived here to share the miracle that has been granted by the god of alchemy, His Majesty Lacius, to mankind."

  After his greeting, Hars immediately went into action and pulled a knife to open a rge wound on his hips. He even widened it with his knife while gritting his teeth and let a few groans escape his mouth.

  Ignoring the surrounding people's bewildered and shocked look, Hars allowed the blood to drop out of his hips before pouring the most powerful healing potion he had.

  While most of the teenager's faces paled upon looking at such a wound, the tan skinned hunters and pair of doctors focused on the wound in Hars's hips.

  Not long after the potions are applied to that wound, the deep wound quickly heals while leaving only a small scratch that soon closes.

  While the priests next to him are wiping the blood on Hars's hip. He drank a health nurturing potion and his skin that has turned pale from blood loss immediately regained its vigor.

  Seeing such a miracle, the twenty people in front of him are in awe. Especially since most of them knew that high priest Hars is someone who has been blessed with water element power instead of healing power.

  That means the wound has been healed because of the potions in Hars's hand!

  Although most of them had seen the miracle yesterday, seeing it at such a close distance still amazed them.

  Soon, everyone became excited at the notion of receiving a blessing from the god of alchemy and being able to create simir miraculous potions.
