Recently, several major events that shocked the whole city have occurred in Kelan City.
The first is the "fake medicine workshop incident" some time ago.
It is said that a civilian who does not have the qualifications of a pharmacist was so bold as to privately make fake medicines at home, and was eventually cracked and sealed by the city guards.
Then, a small mercenary group with less than 100 members, which was almost on the verge of disbanding in the fierce competition among mercenary groups, suddenly rose up bravely and reversed the situation.
With only six members, they challenged the Storm Wolf Mercenary Group that had suppressed them, and hung the opponent's group flag on the mercenary guild hall.
In addition, Kelan City's leading large mercenary group, the Golden Two-Headed Dragon, suddenly announced that it would establish a mercenary group headquarters in the cursed abandoned castle group "Doom Castle" and allocate precious medicine shares to its mercenaries.
These events are all interesting stories that the people of Kelan City talk about with relish.
However, the heat of these interesting stories has not yet dissipated, and a shocking new news has once again caused a lot of discussion in Kolan City.
The "fake medicine workshop incident" some time ago has unexpectedly reversed.
The owner of the pharmacy workshop produced a legal pharmacy certificate to prove that the innocent civilian detained was just an employee of the workshop!
For this reason, several righteous civilian councilors who pleaded for the people sued the Pharmacist Guild to the Kolan City Civil Affairs Council, accusing the Pharmacist Guild of maliciously accusing and kidnapping the civilian in order to obtain the medicine formula, and also taking away their special medicine production tools for personal gain.
Just when the righteous civilian councilors asked the Pharmacist Guild to release the civilian, news came out that the civilian had disappeared!
This incident directly aroused the anger of the people in Kolan City.
Civil groups have continuously organized people to protest in front of the Civil Affairs Council Hall, demanding that the Pharmacist Guild release the innocent civilian Brown family.
But according to reliable news from the Pharmacist Guild, the Brown family was murdered after being forced to reveal the formula of the medicine by the Pharmacist Guild, which monopolized the pharmacy industry in Kolan City.
During the trial of the Civil Affairs Council, the Pharmacist Guild was unable to hand over the people.
This caused the reputation of the Pharmacist Guild to plummet in Kolan City.
The president of the Pharmacist Guild and several management deacons resigned, and the new president of the Pharmacist Guild publicly stated that he would give an explanation to the people.
However, at this time, the civilian councilors who bravely stood up to uphold justice for the civilians were brutally murdered at home.
The suspect of the murder directly pointed to the former president of the Pharmacist Guild who had resigned.
This vicious incident shocked the entire Civil Affairs Council.
For a while, the civilian councilors were in danger, and the civilians were outraged and demanded severe punishment for the murderer.
However, the former president and deacons of the Pharmacists Guild said they had no reason to kill the members of the people when they attended the public hearing and self-defense appeal meeting.
With all the unfavorable testimony pointing to the Pharmacists Guild, it was even more impossible for them to deliberately kill the members of the people.
Not only would this not do them any good, but it would also lead all suspicion to them.
They claimed that this was a conspiracy against them and the Pharmacists Guild!
In order to clear their grievances, the former president and deacons of the Pharmacists Guild died in public in grief and anger, using their lives to prove their innocence.
They committed suicide collectively at the venue of the self-defense appeal meeting!
At this point, the suspicion shifted from the Pharmacists Guild to the vested interests - Clark Abigail, the president of the Colan branch of the Mercenary Guild.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
As the former president of the Pharmacist Guild who has died to make his will known said, the actions of the Colan branch of the Mercenary Guild have been a little strange in recent times!
They got the mysterious source of medicine from nowhere, not only privately terminated the medicine supply agreement with the Pharmacist Guild, but also seized the market share of the Pharmacist Guild.
There is sufficient reason to believe that this is a move taken by the Mercenary Guild, which has obtained the source of medicine, to attack, frame and seize the medicine business of the Pharmacist Guild, and to retaliate against the Pharmacist Guild for controlling their medicine share and inhibiting their development!
President Clark was overwhelmed by this sudden reversal of the wind direction, and was almost ready to follow the other party and die to make his will known.
This made the whole incident even more confusing.
For a time, the Pharmacist Guild and the Colan branch of the Mercenary Guild attacked each other, and with the intervention of the Colan City Civil Affairs Council, the three forces caused chaos in Colan City, and many forces also took the opportunity to make moves.
Behind a seemingly simple event, there are undercurrents.
At first, the medicine rationing plan formulated by the Mercenary Guild only provided quotas for mercenaries in the city, with a limited scope of impact, and did not excessively affect the interests of the Pharmacist Guild.
However, perhaps because the two sides had torn their faces, the Mercenary Guild, which had been acting quite politely, simply tore off its mask and revealed its hideous face.
The city of Kolan, a medium-sized city with a local population of more than 1.7 million and hundreds of thousands of floating population, not only has a seaport terminal and an airship airport, but is also an important transportation hub connecting Zirago County and Dagon County on both sides of the Sea Wall Mountain Range.
Therefore, under the conditions of extremely convenient land, sea, and air transportation, the business of Kolan City is particularly prosperous.
The gathering of a large number of businessmen has also promoted the vigorous development of the mercenary industry.
The number of registered mercenaries in this city alone is as high as more than 35,000, including 7 large mercenary groups with more than 1,000 people, 16 medium-sized mercenary groups with more than 500 people but less than 1,000 people, and 56 small mercenary groups with more than 100 people but less than 500 people, as well as hundreds of micro mercenary groups or small mercenary teams and free mercenaries with less than 100 people.
In addition, the number of temporary mercenaries from other cities is even equal to the number of mercenaries in this city during the peak period, making Kelan City a large-scale mercenary gathering point in the mercenary world of the seven continents.
The high-risk industry of mercenaries has a huge demand for potions.
Even if mercenaries regard life and death as nothing, who would be willing to die if they can avoid death?
Therefore, in addition to weapons and equipment, various life-saving potions have become the main consumption of mercenaries.
At first, the Kelan branch of the Mercenary Guild only allocated a single type of potion purchase share to the mercenaries registered in this city.
The loss of this part of orders is less than 5,000 bottles of medicine, which is less than one-thirtieth of the monthly production capacity, and is insignificant to the Pharmacist Guild.
However, now the Kelan branch is frantically supplying all kinds of potions to its local mercenaries.
Any potion that can be bought in the pharmacy under the name of the Pharmacist Guild can be bought at the pharmacy counter of the Kelan branch.
Not only is the quality one level higher than that of the pharmacy, but the price is only 40％ of the same kind of potion!
This supply scale is simply unbelievable.
Even if it is calculated based on the population of 50,000 mercenaries, and 10 bottles of potions are supplied to each mercenary per month, it will be a full 500,000 bottles of potions, which is more than three times the total production capacity of the Pharmacist Guild!
With such a huge potion production capacity, how many pharmacists are needed to prepare it?
If it is only the mercenary market in this city, it may not be enough to hurt the Pharmacist Guild with stable sales channels and fixed supply targets.
Although potions are only useful when life and health are threatened, they are definitely a necessity for survival.
Therefore, when the Kolan branch lifted the supply restrictions, those who needed medicines were worried that there would not be many opportunities for such abundant supply of medicines, and they rushed to stockpile.
In a short period of time, the medicine market in Kolan City was pushed to saturation.
Medicines are not like food that needs to be eaten every day. Buying them once can often ensure long-term use.
Many mercenary groups finally caught the opportunity of unlimited price reductions for medicines, and even bought a year's supply at one time to stock up.
When the Pharmacist Guild realized that it was not good and planned to cut prices to compete for market share, it was too late.
It is estimated that no mercenary group will purchase medicines in the next year.
And all these bad consequences were sown by the Pharmacist Guild itself.
They clearly have a production capacity of 150,000 bottles of medicines per month, but they only put 5,000 bottles of medicines into the Kolan City medicine industry.
They deliberately created a market hunger to ensure that their potions could be sold at high prices while also being sought after by people.
In this way, no matter how many potions they put into the market and how high the price is, they will not worry about not being able to sell them.
When they need funds, they can harvest Jintalan to their heart's content.
However, now this market that has been hard to operate and has been in a state of hunger for a long time has been snatched away by the sudden outbreak of the Mercenary Guild's Kelan Branch.
This is simply adding insult to injury for the Pharmacist Guild, which is currently involved in a civilian kidnapping and murder case.
Is this the only crazy potion dumping plan of the Mercenary Guild Kelan Branch?
Of course not!
It's not only mercenaries who need to use potions.
The Adventurer Guild, which is no smaller than the Mercenary Guild, the various combat professional guilds, and even the City Guard under the name of the Civil Affairs Council, these industry guilds with certain risks, have all stockpiled enough potion reserves for a year in this sudden potion dumping!
