Almighty Alchemist

In the evening, the convoy finally arrived at a small village.

Clarice jumped out of the car and yelled at Todd: "I'm going to get someone to repair the roof and distribute some flyers. You watch this kid and don't let him run away. He's worth twenty Gold Witts. If he runs away, I'll deduct it from your salary!"

Todd replied in a low voice: "Yes, sir."

"Shut up, don't call me an adult, I'm a poor man!" Clarice left angrily.

She was really angry because God sent her a poor and worthless guy.

This fellow, who called himself Funk, didn't have a copper Witte on him.

This is so exasperating.

But it's rare that this is also a fool, and he doesn't even have the slightest intention to bargain. God knows that she offered such a price to lower the price for the other party. You must know that there are too many scoundrels in this world who damage other people’s things and refuse to compensate according to the price. They always try their best to deny and refuse to admit the facts, so you must raise the price first and give the other party room to bargain, so that it is possible to get normal compensation.

However, the boy's generosity was soon realized by the leader of the philistine that he was a "stupid boy who can be oppressed". Since the sky did not drop her gold coins, she could regard this as labor bestowed on her by the sky.

People always push their boundaries, not to mention this young man did something that she thought was "very stupid".

So before leaving, Clarice told the girls to hand over all the work to the black-haired boy. Although the girls were very reluctant, Clarice didn't care about this-looking good was no reason to be exempted from labor.

After the convoy stops, there is a lot of work to do. They have to set up the stage, prepare for the performance, and make a fire to cook.

Due to the poor living conditions of the troupe and no dedicated cooks, the girls have always been in charge of cooking in turns.

Today is Randy, the scantily clad little girl who is in charge of cooking.

"Girls shouldn't be tainted by fireworks. Let me do this kind of thing." Xiuyi said to Randy with a smile.

"Forget it." Randy rattled and began to chop the vegetables: "The leader is not here, you don't have to do anything. Isn't it just a broken roof? It costs less than 20 Kingwitts. I guess two Goldwitts at most can solve all the problems. The leader treats you too much, but it's all your own fault. You shouldn't let her say as much as you promised."

"It's okay, but anyway, I feel a little sorry for letting you suffer from the cold. Besides, I don't need this little money."

"Really?" Randy stared at him with a pair of wonderful eyes.

This made Xiu Yi a little embarrassed: "I mean, I thought I came out with enough money, but in fact there are always some things that are out of control."

"So now you can only grit your teeth and accept the leader's price? Do you regret it?"

"To be honest, I don't mind doing something for you as compensation, so I don't have to regret it." Xiuyi smiled.

"Oh, since you are willing to help, then help me with the dishes on the side. I mean, if you can cook, it doesn't matter even if you can't, as long as you can't eat them to death. Actually, you shouldn't bring out those weird things, otherwise the leader may not be so angry."

In order to make up for Clarice's loss, Xiu Yi specially took out several bottles of precious potions for her. It's a pity that not everyone knows good things. A bottle of precious potion that can sell for at least hundreds of Goldwitts in the market is no different from a bottle of water in Clarice's eyes.

She angrily thought that not only did God not give her a God of Wealth, but instead gave her a little charlatan. That's why he decided to let Xiu Yi work to make up for the loss, and at the same time educate this kid well, let him know that cheating is immoral.

This made Xiu Yi very helpless.

Those medicines with good therapeutic effects cannot reflect their value because the girls are not sick or in pain. Auxiliary potions are basically used by magicians and warriors, and it is meaningless for ordinary people to use them. As for the beauty potion, the effect is not immediately visible, and the effect can be seen immediately, but those curse potions and poison potions.

Considering that the girls didn't make any big mistakes, he really didn't want them to try the taste of "death and death".

As for those magic-planted seeds, Xiuyi wondered if Clarice would immediately throw them away as stones if she took them out.

He still has some magic swords that can be sold for some money, and he doesn't have to worry about Clarice's ignorance, but the problem is that he obviously can't fit such a large object on his body. Appearing out of thin air will undoubtedly reveal the existence of the ring, and the sword will scare these girls.

He carried all the wealth of the entire Purgatory Island, but they were books, medicines, weapons, energy crystals, magic enhancement gems and other things. Either they could not prove their value, or they could not appear in front of others at all. Perhaps the only thing that Clarice can confirm is valuable is Hines' staff. Women are always very sensitive to gems.

But he wondered if he really gave the staff to Clarice, would the woman pry away all the gems on the staff, and then throw the staff away.

That's really exorbitant.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, let alone wands, even magicians are just legends. They have no chance to see it at all, and they don't think that a person who falls from the sky can be a reason to "be a magician".

Especially since this boy is still so young, and he doesn't show any arrogance of a magician and his age.

Everyone knows that great people are always extremely proud, especially those magicians who are rare in the world.

If Huey responded with an arrogant "How dare you ask a magician for money?" But Xiu Yi didn't show that kind of arrogance, he accepted the compensation request immediately.

That's why Clarice decided to recruit Xiu Yi so unceremoniously when Xiu Yi said that she had no money and tried to compensate with medicine.

She would never believe that a magician would be so polite, no matter how he fell from the sky, he could not be a magician.

Even if he is a magician, he is just a "bully magician."

This is what Clarice realized.

At this moment when Lanti said this, Xiuyi rubbed her nose and smiled bitterly: "If I say that I am as rich as an enemy, you will not believe it."

"Everyone has the right to dream." The little girl answered readily.

Alas, let's cook honestly.

———————————

There are about 30 people in the Violet Song and Dance Troupe, mainly women, and less than one-third are men.

The entire song and dance troupe has five carriages and one truck, plus those performance props, which is almost the entire industry of the song and dance troupe.

In addition to Clarice, the head of the company, there is also a housekeeper named Alec Binney, who is mainly responsible for arranging the large and small affairs of the song and dance troupe, and a foreign affairs officer, who is mainly responsible for contacting theaters in various places and negotiating the cost of renting venues for performances. However, this kind of rented venue performances are generally only held in big cities. If they go to a small place, the song and dance troupe will simply build a performance booth.

In contrast, although the venue rental fees in big cities are high, there are many aristocrats there, and there are many people who can afford to watch the performances. The income of the song and dance troupe will also increase than usual. Therefore, for the song and dance troupe, being able to perform in big cities has always been their favorite. It's a pity that many high-end venues do not allow small song and dance troupes to enter, which makes Clarice still have to rely on some scattered performances to maintain expenses.

Therefore, whenever they go to a place, they will immediately set up a stage to prepare for the performance, while the head of the group and the foreign affairs staff will go to run business and attract guests.

When Clarice came back, she had finished distributing the leaflets and brought a few locals to repair the roof. After negotiating for a long time with the locals, she finally settled with one Gold Witte plus eighty Silver Wittes.

As soon as she came back she yelled, "Oh, is that little boy still there? That's all right, tell me what job you've got for him? Don't try to fool me, I know you can't walk when you see a pretty boy. Answer me, Todd."

Todd, a strong-headed coachman, replied: "I saw him cooking, doing some moving work, and flirting with Randy."

"Lanty!" Clarice screamed.

Randy smashed Todd's face with a towel angrily, and shouted: "Todd, you bastard, I didn't expect a fool like you to tell stories behind your back!"

Todd touched his face and smiled silly: "Mom said that a stupid person is not the same as a good person."

Xiu Yi looked at the ironic scene in front of her, and felt only amused in her heart.

During those days on Purgatory Island, he had to live in fear every day, and he had to be careful when speaking. He had to be careful to avoid Hines' eyes all over the place, and he had to think twice about everything he did.

But now, in this song and dance troupe, what he sees is the natural relationship between people.

They can laugh and curse loudly, talk freely, there is no distinction between upper and lower, and everyone coexists as an equal.

This is really enviable.

Perhaps this kind of life has always been what she wanted to get rid of for Clarice, the head of the group, but for Huey, this kind of life is exactly what she has dreamed of the most these years-maybe he will get tired of it in a short time, but at least for now, he likes it very much.

After playing, Clarice asked Randy: "My baby Randy, what shall we eat today?"

Randy replied weakly: "Fried wild vegetables, big-eared pine nuts, oh, and some leftover tomato sauce and Romani soup."

"That sounds really off-putting."

"It's winter now, and we don't have much money." Randy replied helplessly.

Clarice clenched her fists: "Okay, just eat these. Let everyone eat quickly and make money... I hope there will be more guests today."

Looking at the current predicament of the song and dance troupe, Xiu Yi finally couldn't help but said: "Captain Clarice, in fact, even in winter, there are many rich raw materials that can be processed into food, and it doesn't cost money."

Xiu Yi's words not only made Clarice startled, but the other girls also looked at Xiu Yi.

Clarice glanced at Huey, and after confirming that he wasn't joking, she asked suspiciously, "Are you sure we can find other food?"

"Yes, Captain Clarice, I noticed that there are some wild mushrooms growing on the outskirts of this village. Even in winter, they still grow well, and they are in patches, easy to pick."

"But mushrooms are poisonous, you can't eat them!"

"Yes, Captain Clarice, but not every kind of mushroom is poisonous, and most importantly, the poison of mushrooms is not impossible to remove. In fact, it is not difficult."

"You mean you can remove the poison from those mushrooms?" Clarice's eyes widened in surprise, she couldn't imagine that this little boy could do it.

Xiu Yi nodded: "Yes, I have seen that kind of mushroom, and I am absolutely sure that you can enjoy its deliciousness without worrying about poisoning."

"How can I trust you? I think you might want to poison us all and run away yourself," Clarice cried.

Xiu Yi said helplessly: "You don't have to believe me, but I just want to help you, and make up for the loss I caused you. Don't forget that I also eat those mushrooms."

Clarice folded her arms and looked at Xiu Yi, and after watching it for a while, she said:

"None of us here can cook mushrooms."

"I will." Xiu Yi said with a smile: "And I'm confident that I will do well."

"Are you good at cooking?"

"You can try my cooking first."

Randy brought a pot of green vegetables made by Xiuyi to Clarice.

Clarice tasted one with her slender fingers, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Pretty well done, oh Funk, you're a wonderful cook!"

Randy also smiled and said, "I think he can try."

"Okay then, let him eat first when it's done." Clarice nodded in agreement.

That night, members of the song and dance troupe enjoyed a mushroom feast made for them by Xiu Yi himself. Although everyone was cautious at the beginning and no one dared to say anything, but when they saw that Xiu Yi was eating a lot and had nothing to do, they finally let go of their scruples.

They were quickly intoxicated by the delicious taste of the mushrooms.

This night became the best food the song and dance troupe has enjoyed since its establishment. In Clarice's words: "Even the nobles will never be able to eat so much and delicious food. We have become the happiest people in the world."

Her request is really not high.

The way she looked at Xiu Yi finally changed.

At that time, Huey said to Clarice: "After entering the city, I will sell the few bottles of potions I carried with me, and then I will pay you back the money I owe you. As for now, I don't mind helping you do what I can to express my apology. For example, I will cook from today. Just treat it as...car money and interest."

Clarice agreed without hesitation.

For the sake of the food, she sincerely hoped that Xiu Yi would not pay any money, and she didn't think that the few bottles of potion in Xiu Yi's hand could be sold for a good price.
