Chapter 238: Flynn's Struggle
The ruins and rubble that remained where Alkhemia had once been were now mostly cleared away.
Dwarves worked far faster than any other race when it came to construction. The enormous crater that once scarred the land had already been filled in, and the faint outline of a new city was beginning to take shape. Even the city walls were more than halfway complete.
From the sky, one could still make out traces of magical arrays embedded in the city's layout. Large quantities of gold had been melted down and poured into its construction. The dwarves were truly wealthy, wealthy enough to build a city out of gold.
Once completed, this city would clearly be both magnificent and impregnable.
Gustavo Flynn's new home was within this very city.
When Alkhemia was first destroyed, Gustavo Flynn had fled to the Court of the Silver Moon, intending to settle down there and rebuild his life.
Elves were known for their isolationism, but Flynn was a legendary alchemist, one of the most renowned figures on the continent. Settling there should have posed no problem.
Reality, however, dealt him a resounding slap in the face.
The elves had driven him out… though that might be too harsh a way to put it. They "politely" escorted him away, and soon after, the Court of the Silver Moon completely sealed itself off from the outside world, leaving only essential channels for the trade of magical materials open.
