Knight Order Headquarters, small meeting room.
High-level meeting.
Besides Roland, Sif, and Lisa, there was an additional attendee today.
Raikkonen, the reconnaissance captain.
He was highly efficient, having found the owner of Little Pudding Alchemy Workshop, Norton Thomas.
He didn't directly contact Norton, instead learning from neighbors and Norton's daughter, Shanina, about the truth of the old man's expulsion from the Alchemy Alliance.
Although old Norton believed that a price increase would harm all alchemy practitioners in the long run, he didn't explicitly oppose the price alliance.
He always knew how to adapt to circumstances.
But someone didn't want him to continue in this industry.
Opposing the price increase was just an excuse.
During the internal discussion on price-setting, Norton didn't even have a chance to speak.
