Perfikot is one of the strongest alchemists of the current age, while Weir was once a legendary alchemist. The two could talk endlessly just about alchemy.
But Perfikot and Weir did not discuss alchemy; instead, they talked about the current affairs of the Empire.
"So, what exactly is the problem that the Empire faces, requiring such a strong investment in the development of the Northern Territory?" Weir asked first, as this was the issue she was most concerned about.
Although Weir had stepped down from her position as the president of the Alchemy Association many years ago, it did not mean her network from that time had also disappeared. It wasn't difficult for her to inquire about some news.
So Weir was clearly aware of how much manpower and resources the Empire had invested in the Northern Territory during this time, which was quite unusual for the Empire.
