The doll steadily carried the plate and delivered it to François.
François picked up one of the cups, which contained a cup of pitch-black liquid.
This appears to be dark tea, produced in the Commonwealth of Wood.
This tea has a rich, roasted aroma, with a subtle hint of oiliness.
Although he had only tasted it once before, François, a chef, was able to determine that the tea must have been roasted.
I really want to learn that skill!
However, the doll in front of him could not possibly satisfy François's demands.
She doesn't speak; she simply returns the way she came after completing certain specific and simple tasks.
Even when observing the construction of these dolls up close, François could only marvel at their exquisite craftsmanship.
The brass axles and gears fit together perfectly inside the ceramic body.
Only at the joints are some structures exposed.
The black hole behind her is where the clockwork mechanism is wound up.
Its darkness and depth piqued François's curiosity, making him want to explore the wondrous unknown hidden within.
The person who invented the doll must be a genius.
The person who invented the clockwork mechanism is certainly worthy of being called a great man.
François asserted that clockwork technology would then sweep the world.
Perhaps, everything in the world will be replaced by a clockwork mechanism.
Wind-up ships, wind-up cars, wind-up soldiers, and even wind-up mechanisms can carry people into the sky—
A clockwork toy truly inspires endless imagination.
However, there was one thing that had been troubling François for a long time, but he had never had the chance to ask for an answer.
Why are all wind-up dolls designed to have a woman's figure?
A high, firm chest, a slender waist, rounded hips, and long, shapely limbs.
Does this design help improve the performance of the doll?
Unfortunately, François was just a cook and couldn't figure out the answer to the question on his own.
At present, François is conducting alchemical research with Mr. Rand in the luxurious research room provided by Congressman Harry. Everything here is new: wide and long wooden experimental tables, precise and complex glass containers, and even various decorations such as carpets, tapestries, and oil paintings.
It felt as if this wasn't an alchemist's research lab, but rather the reception room of a nobleman from some kingdom.
As for the materials Rand needs, the people here always do their best to provide them.
By the next day at the latest, Rand will have everything he wants.
Even spices.
François was curious about where the people here got their spices from.
Could it be that Mr. Leo has already sold the spices in Parliament City?
Suppose François wants salt, butter, eggs, and sugar, will the people here provide them as well?
They will definitely ask, "Fat alchemist, what kind of alchemical potion do you need these materials to make?"
François would reply, "Oh! Of course, it's the sweet and delicious alchemical elixir that can stimulate the human taste buds."
If they were to press for details, what kind of medicinal effects could this alchemical elixir have?
François would then proudly reply that he would evilly and blasphemously add fat to the human body.
Evil and blasphemous! François dares to assert this, and there is absolutely no doubt about it.
François himself was a fat man, and he was always looked down upon and suffered a lot of insults.
Humans hate fat people and excess fat, so it should be "evil and blasphemous".
Of course, François did not ask for those things.
There's no kitchen here, and Mr. Rand would definitely scold us for it.
François was afraid of being disliked.
He actually longed to be liked, but no one ever liked him.
But if that happens, when will I be able to learn top-notch culinary skills and return to my hometown?
François was filled with anxiety about his future.
However, Mr. Rand seemed full of enthusiasm.
Members of the Deathstroke Alchemy Guild appear to be on their way to Parliament City.
Parliament seems to want to block the technology, but of course they won't revoke the dissertations written by these "bachelors".
However, the timing of its publication must be decided by Parliament.
According to Representative Harry, he would not allow the Perfect Alchemy Project to be known to outsiders until he was certain that the Federation had mastered the alchemy technology sufficient to crush all competitors.
But François would ask himself, does the perfect elixir of immortality really exist?
Why is it that only with the addition of fragrances does an alchemical elixir become nearly perfect?
Or perhaps it wasn't that alchemy had become more sophisticated, but simply that spices possessed extraordinary power.
But where does the power of spices come from?
Recently, François has been studying some of the contents of "Basic Alchemy".
The book raises a point for consideration.
Is alchemy truly only capable of creating material things?
François also pondered this question: if not material things, then what should one cultivate?
Is there anything in this world that cannot be encompassed by material things?
After careful consideration, François came up with several answers:
Time, life, soul.
But can these things be made through alchemy?
The book did not provide an answer, and François naturally did not know either.
Alchemy is a complex thing, much more complicated than cooking.
A chef cooks for only one purpose: to provide food for people.
First, people need to be fed, and then the food needs to be delicious.
But what is the purpose of alchemy?
Protective medicines are designed to protect the body from harm, while healing medicines are designed to treat the harm.
Incinerating agents attempt to burn everything away, while corrosive agents bring corruption to the world.
Each medicine has a different purpose; some are for saving lives, while others are for killing.
There are also various other, bizarre purposes.
The name of alchemy is "alchemy," which is a potion that can turn lead into gold.
However, this medicine has not been manufactured to this day.
Is the Midas potion a perfect potion?
Can this medicine be made using spices?
There is no answer.
Right now, Mr. Rand is trying to create a potion.
A volatile agent that delays discoloration and adheres to the nearest solid.
The purpose, as it is, is to assist the City Council in its investigation of the recent spate of academic theft cases.
Normally, a case like this wouldn't attract the attention of lawmakers.
However, many studies funded and favored by Parliament were also stolen, prompting Parliament to investigate.
However, although some thieves were found, it was discovered that these people were just copycats.
They disguised themselves as the mysterious academic thief, either to make a fortune selling the technology or to take revenge on their extremely hostile colleagues.
However, the theft of the bachelor's degree did not stop.
This indicates that the real culprit was not caught.
If scholars cannot concentrate on their research, it will definitely undermine the significance of parliament.
Therefore, the council attempted to use the perfect alchemy potion to conduct a sting operation against the criminals!
