Chapter 117: Burn the Heretic!
Charlotte reached under the blanket and took out the Black Stone, turning on the screen.
[Merchant: The first wave of hype for the Magic Repulsion Potion has begun, and the current effect is good. I will sell it at 100 gold coins per bottle for a while, and one month later, I will start to lower the price.]
Charlotte carefully counted three times and confirmed that it was 100 gold coins. He couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
"Damn!"
"100 gold coins per bottle, and it's still selling well?"
"I don't get it."
[Miracle: Okay.]
Charlotte replied with a message, although he rented to ask about the profits and distribution, he held back.
A person can be poor, but at least they can't let netizens know, right?
Taking a few deep breaths, Charlotte's mood finally calmed down reluctantly.
The ability of the merchant to sell the Magic Repulsion Potion at 100 gold coins and maintain good sales was beyond doubt.
By choosing him as a partner, Charlotte could earn a share without doing anything, which was the best scenario.
However, he didn't know how much money he would get after deducting the 3,000 gold coins debt to the Judge.
Furthermore, how exactly did the merchant hype up the Magic Repulsion Potion? Did they plaster the streets of Calva with advertisements? Or did they have some rich second-generation magic addicts come forward with their testimonies?
After daydreaming about how he would spend the large sum of money he would get from his share, Charlotte couldn't help but laugh foolishly for a while.
But soon, he snapped back to reality.
The share mentioned by the merchant was not the total sales amount but the net profit after deducting various costs.
Running the operation required money, the distributor needed a cut, pacifying the magic traffickers to keep them from causing trouble required money, and appeasing various factions to prevent them from coveting the profits also required money...
There were many places where money had to be spent in this business.
In the end, how much he would receive remained an unknown variable.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
It might take a miracle for him to be able to repay the 3,000 gold coins debt to the Judge.
The daydream suddenly didn't feel so good anymore.
He began to think about how to take advantage of the one-month window of the Magic Repulsion Potion's super-high price to remove this tumor called Jardson from the Abyss.
The miraculous potion that could cure magic addiction, priced at 100 gold coins, would be a very weighty bargaining chip for the Black Magic Guards.
He needed to make time to meet with Diana and Roland tomorrow. Their plan should also start to take action.
Charlotte opened the attribute panel:

...
The religious belief in the Goddess of Life was elevated infinitely, and Harold even self-proclaimed as a divine messenger of the Goddess of Life, making a grand show of his procession.
Due to this, the Elves protested, but it eventually led to nothing.
With his fanatical religious belief, Harold held an extremely high position in the minds of the physicians, as if he were a deity.
In the brightly lit hall, wearing luxurious golden saint robes and a golden crown, Harold sat high on a platform several meters high, overlooking the elders sitting on both sides below.
In the middle of the hall, the hunchbacked weasel swallowed saliva and continued, "Lord Chairman, the situation is like this.
This guy, Charlotte, has consecutively used surgery to revive those abandoned by the gods. He must be a demon's apostle in the mortal world.
I implore the Physician's Association to take action, arrest him, and execute him by hanging!"
Being stared at by a group of bigwigs, he couldn't be calm.
The weasel couldn't have expected that just coming to report a minor incident would lead him to the Physician's Association hall and let him meet the legendary Lord Chairman and the elders.
However, since the Physician's Association attached so much importance, Charlotte was undoubtedly doomed.
No one could stop it this time!
The hall was quiet, and Harold didn't speak, and the other elders also remained silent.
The name Charlotte Clayton had not been mentioned here for over three years.
Everyone knew that this name was taboo, especially when combined with the Clayton surname.
Thirty years ago, on this very hall, that young and talented couple had severely challenged the authority of the Lord Chairman, almost toppling him from his position.
Of course, later on, the Lord Chairman had proven with facts that his position was unshakable.
The young geniuses had ultimately become souls under the claws of the monsters.
And their child, in the field of life magic, even displayed talents surpassing his father's.
With the support of the city lord behind him and the protection of his family, he became a shining light in the Calva Medical College, the youngest senior life magic mage in a hundred years.
He had a bright future ahead of him, and many people believed he would continue to progress and eventually become a ninth-level great mage, taking over Harold's position.
However, just one year after graduating from medical college, the shocking news of a terrifying surgical incident involving him surfaced.
He performed surgery on patients diagnosed as abandoned by the gods, resulting in the death of those patients.
And there were numerous such incidents.
Charlotte fell from grace in an instant.
After the Physician's Association intervened in the investigation, they revoked his medical license. Following the deliberation of the elders, the verdict was a death sentence by hanging.
The vote took place in this hall, and all the elders present participated in the vote. Eventually, with 6 votes in favor, 2 against, and 2 abstentions, Charlotte received his sentence.
Because of the city lord's intervention and after various consultations, the final decision was to abolish Charlotte's magical source and imprison him for a year before expelling him from Calva.
Three years had passed, and now hearing about him again, no one expected that he had opened a clinic in the Abyss and continued to treat patients using both alchemy and his wicked surgical methods.
What was even more unsettling was that he had managed to revive two abandoned by the gods.
Second Elder Lucian said indignantly, "Chairman, Charlotte shows no remorse, but instead intensified his actions, openly operating a clinic in the Abyss without a license, persecuting patients with wicked means, and even reviving those abandoned by the gods.
He must be worshipping demons and has become an apostle of evil!
I believe we should send someone to arrest him, conduct a public trial, and burn him alive at the stake!"
"That's right, this kid has no reverence for the Goddess of Life. Such heretics should be burned to death!" Third Elder Chester added in agreement.
Several other elders also voiced their agreement.
Harold's expression remained neutral, like that of an emperor.
"This matter requires careful consideration. The Abyss is a place where there are not many highly skilled physicians, and misdiagnosis is not impossible. It's too rash to convict someone based solely on the words of this yellow rat wolf.
The purpose of our Physician's Association is to save more patients, not to be a court or a prison," said First Elder Adolf, sitting in the first place below the platform.
