Chapter 1032 -373: Aleister’s Lies and Arrangements_2
——If you’re not lazy enough, it usually means that your adaptation to the Path of Dusk is still not high enough.
“So generally speaking, not many people come here to eat?”
Aleister was somewhat surprised: “The taste is so good…”
Is it such a waste?
“It’s okay, we have Preservation Arts.”
Adolf cheerfully replied on the side: “Whether it’s finished food or fresh ingredients, they can all be maintained with Preservation Arts. As for nutritional issues… you just need to take concoctions regularly.”
“Preservation Arts are really useful…”
Aleister exclaimed.
There are really too few skilled Preservers in Avalon. Initially, it took almost a week to find someone to preserve that painting by Aiwass. Not to mention the “wasteful” use of preserving food ingredients.
But in Star Antimony, the cost of casting a single Preservation Art is even cheaper than a pot of stewed meat.
Is this the effect of the widespread use of Extraordinary Power in society…
Adolf continued speaking: “Because recently, those Alchemists are oppressing the botanists more and more severely… causing the botanists who rely on the Alchemy Association for survival to need to provide more and more alchemical materials each month. This also indirectly squeezes the vegetable production, since both vegetables and Magic Potion materials come from the same fields. In big cities, the price of vegetables will also rise due to the increase in alchemical materials.
“Plus, food is an important export and profit-making item, one of the few stable profiting methods currently in Star Antimony. Therefore, food production cannot be lessened… These reasons lead to the always high prices of vegetables in Star Antimony. Basically, farmers carve out a plot of land beside their own wheat fields to grow and eat on their own.
“After all, the difficulty of releasing Preservation Arts on vegetables is far greater than its use on meats—that I believe is also an important reason.”
“…Why is that?”
Aleister, who was eating, raised her head curiously: “Is Preservation Arts harder to use on plants?”
She had never heard this statement before.
“I know…”
Just then, Aurora came over quietly: “I want to explain.”
She had just been firmly holding onto Albert in the distance… Seeing that Aleister was actually eating human food, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the reputation of the Son of the Moon in Star Antimony isn’t really good.
Previously, with the Red Chancellor backing them, no one dared to show it. But in the future, it’ll surely be different…
And Vice Chancellor Adolf, seeing Aurora and Albert walking over, also understood what their purpose was.
It must have to do with their mentor, Fernando Brizvik.
Fernando Brizvik is, after all, Adolf’s student, and Adolf is quite concerned about how to solve his problems.
So he enthusiastically introduced to Aleister: “This is Aurora von Goethe… And this is Albert Lorey. They are both the disciples of my disciple, sort of like my grand-disciples. These two kids, both reaching the Fourth Level at such young ages, are geniuses… Albert just over twenty, and Aurora is not even twenty yet. They are the future of the Spirit Summoning Tower.”
——You might not believe it, but I’m actually just eighteen years old.
Aleister thought to herself, observing the two.
Aurora’s beauty made her somewhat amazed—a beauty like a platinum doll, the very lifelessness added an unusual sense of beauty.
That kind of feeling… if I were to describe it, it’s “not like a living person”. She gives off an impression more like she is a 3D model, who might be mistaken for a life-like figurine if she stood still.
Is she the future heir of the Amber Master?
And the other one… might be the true genius.
Albert Lorey—the inventor of the Armed Gargoyle, the future Black Chancellor of Star Antimony.
He looked a bit like a depressed Harry Potter… or like a programmer who’s been overworked and lacking sleep for a month, forming a stark contrast with the girl beside him. Although he seemed a bit like he could keel over at any moment, one could also see his fair features.
Aleister gave them a friendly smile: “Hello, you two… So Miss Goethe, why is that?”
Called out by Aleister, Aurora’s pupils vibrated intensely.
But her expressions and voice remained unchanged, she said softly: “Because plants are still ‘alive’. And using Preservation Arts on living things… can be very challenging.”
“Alive…”
Aleister pondered.
Speaking of which… even if vegetables are taken out from the ground, they can still continue to reproduce. From a certain perspective, they might not be completely dead before being blanched.

Whereas whether it’s meats, corpses, or even artworks and buildings, they don’t have “life”. Therefore, applying Preservation Arts on them is much simpler.
“The Preservation Arts used to rescue the students and bring them back… was it the headmaster’s doing?”
“It was me. The Preservation Arts applied on living beings can preserve them from ‘dangerous situations’. I used this method to bring the children to my side.”
The current Black Minister Adolf answered: “The Preservation Arts that kept the entire Spirit Summoning Tower safe, detached from this world, was indeed the headmaster’s.”
“If Preservation Arts are used on living people…”
Aurora said softly: “It can also turn the dying into statues, thus pausing the ‘process of death’. It is also a way to save lives.”
“That’s right, esteemed Miss Aleister…”
