Broad World

Amanda shook her head after doing a few quick tests on the three little ones. "Unfortunately, there is no talent for becoming a Druid. Maybe you can send them to the Mage Tower for a test. I heard that they are also recruiting apprentices there recently."

The village chief touched the heads of the children and sighed. "Thank you very much for everything you have done for us. The mage apprentices should forget it. Ordinary peasant families like ours cannot provide enough gold coins for them to complete expensive mage studies."

In the following time, Amanda took several apprentices to diagnose and treat the sick people in the village, and prescribed some herbal medicine for them. Finally, with the enthusiasm of the villagers, the group stayed in Yezhu Village for one night. The next morning they packed their bags and continued on to the next village.

As soon as Henry returned to the Mage Tower, he began to study the notes of the mad alchemist. After he turned a few pages, he was overwhelmed by the alchemy skills of this legendary mage. In this notebook alone, at least a thousand methods of making magic items are recorded. Next to each magic item, there are several different formulas for users to choose from. There are some special tricks that he has never even heard others mention, and the value of this knowledge is simply inestimable.

For the next month, Henry practically shut himself in the mage's tower. While learning some of the techniques in the notes, he did some practice by himself. About 100,000 experience points were quickly squandered. When he realized that he had lost a lot of experience points, there were already piles of created magic items in front of him.

Henry picked up a piece of dragon leather armor and wiped the dust on it and laughed. Every item here has witnessed the progress of alchemy technology. Just as he was looking for a place to wash his face and hang his beard, Amy came in from the door. She saw Henry's haggard face. The sunken eyes were startled.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Don't tell you that you haven't slept much for a whole month."

"You are so smart. I haven't had much rest for more than a month. Look at the magic items here, all of them are the fruits of my month."

"My God! This is crazy! You must have gone crazy looking at Helast's black robe notes!"

Henry sighed, picked up the notes on the table and handed them to Amy. "After reading the knowledge recorded here, I realized how ridiculous my previous alchemy skills were. At least one-third of the formulas in it have never been heard of before. I only slept for two hours a day at most during this month, and now I have finally learned all the new techniques in this notebook."

Amy put aside her notes and said to Henry: "Let's not worry about these things. There is news from the city hall that Tristan Kendrick, the supreme king of Shadowmoon Island, has sent a fleet to ask us for help. It is said that a god released storms, droughts, blizzards and hurricanes in their country. The whole country is almost certain to have no harvest this year. They hope to buy a large amount of food from us to ease the domestic crisis." She took out a book introducing Talos, the god of storms, and shook it. .

"Take me to meet them first, and we'll talk about everything after the meeting." Henry forced himself to teleport to the gate of the city hall with Amy.

The guard guarding the door found that the lord hurried over and saluted, Henry waved his hands casually and went straight in. As he walked, he thought about how to deal with this matter. It was obviously unwise to fight against the powerful Storm God for a Shadowmoon Island. But what he didn't understand was what the High King had done to cause Talos to go to war so violently.

Before he could figure it out, he walked into the mayor's office unknowingly. Hawk saw Henry walking in and hurried over. "Count, you are finally here. I can't decide on such a big matter."

"Invite that messenger in now. I need to get some answers from him before I can decide whether to agree to their request."

"Please wait a moment, I will send someone to invite him right away." Hawke ordered the clerk standing next to him to invite the envoy from Shadowmoon Island to meet him.

A few minutes later, the clerk walked in with a middle-aged man in a formal dress. Henry bowed after he saw it. "You must be Earl Angomey. I am the envoy from Shadowmoon Island. You can call me Achill." Henry stood up with a smile and shook hands with him.

"Hello, Mr. Achill. I heard that a certain god is sending divine punishment on Shadowmoon Island. What's going on?" Hearing Henry's question, the envoy smiled wryly.

"Because the priests of Bane's Resurrection Church launched an attack on Shadowmoon Island two years ago, we, together with the Harper, destroyed their plot. Before Bane's fall, he once formed an alliance with this god. I think this incident may have enraged him, so a terrible natural disaster was sent down to punish us."

Hearing these explanations, Henry immediately understood a little reason. The people in Shadowmoon Island were just being angered, and in this case, he could secretly open a door of convenience for these people.

"I agree to allow you to export food, but these cannot be done on the bright side. After all, you have offended a powerful god, and our deal is best done behind the scenes. At that time, I will choose a hidden island as the location of the deal.

Achill heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the affirmative answer, and he finally accomplished the goal of this mission.

"Thank you very much for your support. On behalf of Supreme King Tristan Kendrick, I would like to express my gratitude to you. We will pay five times the market price for all the food, and we will also give you a unique technology. Please do this as soon as possible. Now that the entire country is in famine, I am afraid it won't last long."

"Don't worry, I will collect enough food and transport it to the designated island within three days at the most. At that time, there will be a special person in charge of this matter. If there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first. You must know that I have done experiments in the Mage Tower for a month, and now I can hardly open my eyes." After speaking, Henry pointed to his sunken eye sockets.

"I'm really sorry for interrupting your rest. Now that the deal has been negotiated, I'll take my leave first, and we'll see you in three days." After speaking, Achill stood up and bowed, then turned and left.

When he was far away, Hawke asked nervously, "Count, you won't offend that god by doing this. I don't want to see those natural disasters wreaking havoc on our territory."

"Don't worry sir, we are not implicated in this matter. As long as the transaction is conducted in a sufficiently concealed manner, it will not attract the attention of others. Now go and count our food reserves, and I will arrange for someone to take charge of this matter."

"Please rest assured about the food. Our reserves are enough to supply them for a period of time. And the autumn harvest will be in a few months, and this year will still be a good year." Hearing that there is no problem with the food, Henry took Amy directly from the city hall to Robert's Thieves Union.

"Master, why do you look so bad?" Robert looked at his sister and then at Henry and asked suspiciously.

"Forget about these things, I need you to be responsible for one thing. The people of Shadowmoon Island want to buy food from us, but for some reason they can't make a big deal. I need you to find a hidden island and take charge of the whole process yourself." Robert frowned and thought for a while when he heard this request.

"Master, it is better to choose a small island where slaves are traded. It is a natural deep harbor, and I have already built a warehouse in the cave."

"You can take care of this matter. I only have one requirement, that is, it must be concealed enough, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. In addition, for food matters, go directly to Hawke, and he will give you enough. If there is no problem, I will go back and rest." After speaking, Henry yawned a lot, and he really should take a good rest.

After explaining everything, Henry returned to the lord's mansion, and he surprised the butler as soon as he entered the door.

"Count, your complexion is really ugly. Would you like me to call a priest to treat you?"

"It's not necessary at all. It's just the consequence of staying up late all night. You just need to rest for a few days and you'll be fine." Henry started walking towards his room, and the butler quickly brought a bowl of hot soup from the kitchen into the bedroom.

"Earl, drink some hot soup before going to sleep, otherwise your stomach will be very uncomfortable."

Henry picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After thanking the housekeeper, he fell asleep. It didn't take long before the voice sounded. The butler carefully took off his boots, socks and coat, and finally walked out of the room gently and closed the door. When he was walking down the stairs, he happened to meet Henry's mother. Lily immediately asked when she saw the housekeeper, "Has my son returned yet? Nothing will happen to him. I heard that the experiments conducted by mages are very dangerous. Every year, people are injured or even die."

The butler bowed and replied, "The earl just came back, and he didn't seem to be hurt in any way except that he was very tired. He has already slept in the bedroom. If there is nothing important, I think it's better not to disturb him."

Lily was relieved to hear her son was fine. "It seems that my worry is unnecessary, as long as there is nothing wrong. If he wakes up, tell him that I want to discuss something with him."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely convey this matter to the Earl personally. If there is nothing else, I will go to the kitchen to prepare today's menu."

"There's nothing else, go get busy, I'm going to Sir Hawke's house to bring Lina back." After speaking, Lily left the Lord's Mansion and took a carriage to the city. . )
