Chapter 1362: Chapter 896: Diplomacy

After everyone presented a brief overview of their respective responsibilities,

it was Maxim’s turn, even though he was the head of the Alchemy Laboratory.

But how to put it, the alchemists in the Alchemy Laboratory are quite the characters, you can’t really expect Maxim to manage them strictly.

If you really managed them by some strict standards, you’d rarely see some of the bizarre things they come up with now.

The dangerous experiments can only be arranged far away and somewhat restricted, to avoid going too far.

Other than that, it’s not really his concern.

In the early days, the Alchemy Laboratory department was actually more personally overseen by Kana.

Because in the beginning, Kana was the only one who could be considered a proper alchemist.

Even initially, most of the scholars were personally taught by Kana.

The various engineering alchemy machines currently within the Night Watchers were either directly taught or influenced by Kana and are the products of those alchemist scholars.

When it was first handed over to Maxim, it was essentially a way to signify his status.

It was only when the Night Watchers expanded quickly and rapidly developed that the Alchemy Laboratory truly started to become a substantial department.

Apart from certain supervisory rights, it mainly provides equipment and venues as well as a certain amount of interaction for the alchemists.

This area is mainly overseen by Bobo.

Because Bobo is executing the Divine Kingdom plan, most of the people in the Alchemy Laboratory are currently researching related topics, yet they are unaware this is part of a larger plan.

At the current stage, his role is mainly collaborative.

Although he himself is an alchemist, and also researched in this area, it is not his focus.

Thus, Maxim’s main duty instead is diplomacy.

After all, he is indeed quite suitable.

Although he is an Elf, he lacks that slow-paced sense of time, nor does he have that peculiar Elf pride.

Having traveled the world for hundreds of years, he also has a certain understanding of various races and nations.

Moreover, he is indeed quite old, and during his travels, he could count himself as friends with the forefathers of many powers.

In some sense, this grants him certain diplomatic advantages.

Statements like, "I held you when you were young," or "Your grandfather was my friend," he can truly say.

In more exaggerated cases, he can even say things like, "Your founding ancestor back then...".

All these advantages combined make him perfectly suitable for diplomacy.

Moreover, the current overall diplomatic situation is about appeasing other forces and clearly emphasizing the Night Watcher’s ideals. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After all, the Night Watchers’ rapid development has indeed made other powers feel alarmed.

And the Night Watchers are distinctly domineering and are not under noble rule, nor under merchant rule, with their focus always on the common people that all past nations and powers ignored.

This means the Night Watchers utterly reject their old ways, those tacit rules, or conventions hold no sway in front of the Night Watchers.

Moreover, the systems were already rigid.

Initially, the Night Watchers were just seen as another young and fiery organization.

Mocked behind their backs.

After all, back then the Night Watchers indeed went where danger was.

After cooperating with the Holy Light Church, and because of the Evil God crisis,

all powers in different areas tacitly allowed a Night Watcher node to be stationed in some key cities.

The numbers were so few that they barely constituted a threat and were more often seen as an intelligence gathering body.

Except that the Night Watchers displayed them openly.

Also, the information provided by the Night Watchers was indeed useful.

So they let it slide, even though some powers wanted to suppress, clear them out, and had taken real action.

In a world already chaotic, with each country somewhat besieged due to the Evil God crisis,

the Night Watchers inexplicably developed.

When everyone began to perceive them as a threat, the Night Watchers dived into areas everyone else dared not venture into.

Tackling the plague-infested Tarir.

The top forces in this world, those who hold absolute power, those with legendary influence,

all clearly understood that Tarir was terrifying back then, almost attracting the attention of all evil forces.

This had nothing to do with the Night Watchers, but still, they ventured in.

Moreover, the Night Watchers indeed expended a lot of manpower and resources, to the extent that all powers lost interest.

Even adhering to humanitarian beliefs or various other thoughts, they even provided some resources.

After all, it’s better than having rats completely take over there, better to have Night Watchers at the front than their own people.

They weren’t fools.

However, the issue was that the Night Watchers became more formidable with each fight, stronger, more baffling.

Even managing to force the rats to cooperate with the Evil God, reducing the influence of the Evil God’s forces in other places.

At one point, the whole world was left stunned by their battles.

The Night Watchers then rose to prominence, leaping to become a top force, reaching a level no one could comprehend.

Then such a force, not in line with all ruling classes, emerged and became a leader.
