Chapter 416
The waiter continued in a rather cocky tone. "The Apothecary's Family is widely known for providing all sorts of
miracle drugs, and they've been around for hundreds of years. It's said that the head of the family has the cure for
every illness in this world."
"I see." Vania nodded to show that she understood. "But why would these people look for Master Gordon to ask
about The Great Chemist?" she asked puzzledly.
"It's said that the head of the Apothecary's Family moved into one of the mountains after claiming his spot at the
top. There have been countless people who went in search of The Great Chemist throughout the year, but no one
managed to find anything," the waiter said while shaking his head and sighing. Some people had gone deep into the
woods, and some never came out. Their bodies still couldn't be found up to this day.

starting to get rather excited. However, the waiter shook his head to indicate that her assumptions were wrong.
"Everyone came to ask Master Gordon for insider information—they thought that he would know something since
he wrote the Legend of the Great Chemist."
Vania nodded again, and she no longer questioned the waiter. However, she didn't entirely agree with the waiter's
words—her gut feeling told her that Gordon had to know something everyone else didn't. Right then, Linda joined in
the conversation. "It seems like those people are really eager to seek help. Master Gordon simply wrote a song, yet
they're all going to him to ask about The Great Chemist's whereabouts."
"It's not as simple as that. Many of those people want to use The Great Chemist's name to gain profit in their
businesses. Unfortunately, they can't earn much when they can't find The Great Chemist, and they end up
sacrificing their lives in search of that person." Most of the people there to meet The Great Chemist would come up
with a bunch of excuses, but they were all doing it for their own benefit. Only a few people were genuinely there to
seek help.
Linda smiled upon hearing the waiter's words. "Those people are really stubborn." I can't believe there are still so
many people here to search for The Great Chemist when it's practically an impossible mission, she thought.
"Everyone's trying extra hard because it's such a tough challenge. If anyone is lucky enough to see The Great
Chemist in person, that guy will no longer have to worry for the rest of his life," the waiter said with a dreamy voice.
Deep down, he had the hopes of meeting The Great Chemist someday.
Larry changed the topic of conversation after that. "The view here is amazing. It seems like there are a lot of
people who come here to explore the place as well. We're interested in hiking, but we're not too familiar since it's
our first time here. Do you have any recommendations?"
The waiter patted his chest while he spoke. "You've found the right guy. I know every fun place there is to visit over
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhere. All the tourists call me a walking map!" Then, he pulled out a map from his pocket. The waiter already had a
prior agreement with the tourist company—he would get a share of the money if he managed to sell any tickets. At
that moment, he secretly calculated how he could earn the most amount of money.
"I suggest that you guys don't walk with the people who claim to be exploring the place. They aren't there to enjoy
the view or go on a hike. They're there to search for The Great Chemist, and they might go into one of the old, old
forests and never come back again." The waiter was being honest.
"What do you suggest, then?" Larry continued asking.
The waiter pointed at the map in his hands. "These are all popular tourist attractions. I can purchase the tickets for
you now if you need them. It's really convenient."
"We'll do as you say." Larry agreed almost instantly. "Why do they all head into the mountains to find The Great
Chemist? Gondalwelt is pretty big—why do those people insist on going to such a dangerous place?" he continued
asking. The waiter didn't seem to realize anything odd as he continued speaking. "There's an alleyway beside the
building, and a fortune teller works here. Some time ago—I'm not sure when—there was a person who asked for
their fortune to be told. There, they somehow found out that The Great Chemist is practicing his medicine in the
mountains."
