Great Nobleman

"Brand! Long time no see! How was your vacation?"

Professor Morian's alchemy laboratory.

Here, Brand met his long-lost partner: Professor Morian, and his apprentice, Senior Sister Anna.

"Long time no see! Professor Morian and Senior Sister Anna, thank you for your concern. I had a good time this holiday!"

"Not bad? I don't think your reluctant appearance is not bad. The family must not give you a good face when you go home this time. You nobles are troublesome, and you will fight for power."

Professor Morian was still the same. He always believed that noble families were full of power disputes like a royal harem.

But this time he was right in some places. Brand really didn't have a good time this holiday.

It's hard to imagine that he, who has always been lazy and extravagant, would look like a "roll king"!

It's all on vacation and I'm still delving into those troublesome mage knowledge!

"Okay! I won't tell you about the troubles at home."

Although Professor Morian mentioned the annoying things, in general, Brand is in a good mood at this time:

"This is some berries from the southern provinces that I brought. The taste is not bad. The other is coffee beans. I don't know how many you have left here, Professor Morian. I brought some more."

Speaking of coffee beans, Professor Morian suddenly put his hands behind his back and said proudly:

"Brand, after this period of research, the research on the new formulation of refreshing potion has achieved milestone results, and my research has now turned to how to reduce the cost of the potion."

Hearing what Professor Morian said, Brand was stunned at first, and then gradually came to his senses. This should mean:

"The development was successful?"

Professor Morian took out two bottles of light brown potion from his magic pocket, handed them to Brand and nodded with a smile:

"This is the refreshment potion made with the new formula after replacing the expensive magic plant with coffee beans. Its cost is only three quarters of the original refreshment potion!"

Hearing this, Brand was a little excited: "If it's three quarters, I've already saved several magic gold coins per bottle."

"That's right!"

Professor Morian nodded:

"It also has the possibility of further optimization, and I already have a clear direction. I found that coffee beans are extremely repellent to magic power, which significantly increases the cost of the new version of the refreshment potion.

My next research direction is to cultivate Shima varieties of coffee beans. This involves the issue of the contract signed before. According to the original contract, the coffee beans will be provided by you, Brand, and I cannot breed them here. Planted, but considering that you may not have breeders in related fields, I am going to re-discuss the issue of sharing with you. "

"Talk about the contract share!"

When talking about this topic, Brand's face became serious.

Coincidentally, he is also planning to talk to Professor Morian about future cooperation.

I saw Brand with a serious face and said:

"If the benefits brought are enough, I will not be stingy with revising the previous profit sharing."

With Brand's serious negotiation, Professor Morian panicked, stood up quickly, left the seat for Anna, and said:

"Next, Anna will negotiate cooperation matters on my behalf. I have to take a step ahead!"

In the end, Professor Morian almost ran out of the reception room, and it was obvious that "he really has something urgent to do."

After waving goodbye to Professor Morian, Brand turned his gaze to the somewhat uneasy senior Anna in front of him.

According to Brand's original plan, the planting of coffee beans, the raw material, will be handled by Mr. Holland, and Brand is ready to hand over the relevant benefits to the Holland family.

But after going home this time, Brand found that the Holland family's medicine garden had become saturated.

If you want to cultivate a large number of coffee bean plants, you must open up new medicine gardens or occupy a lot of space for the original medicinal materials.

Under the pressure of the coming war of pioneering two years later, the Holland family has already begun to secretly prepare for the war.

This time is really not suitable for another branch.

After much consideration, Brand actually turned his attention to Professor Morian.

Brand didn't expect that people would also be eyeing this interest.

"Then let's talk about the contract. Since Professor Morian entrusted the senior to negotiate with me, the senior sister must know the details of the previous contract!"

...

After some "friendly negotiations", Brand left Professor Morian's alchemy laboratory with a new contract.

Next, Brand is going to visit his teacher Celine.

However, going to see your teacher can't be as casual as meeting Professor Morian.

Facing his beautiful and generous dear teacher, Brand decided to show enough respect.

You have to find the right time, dress up well, and finally deliver a perfectly completed vacation homework!

Oh, right!

There is also a teacher's apprentice ceremony!

"Brand!"

After opening the magic lock of the studio and welcoming in her own disciple whom she hadn't seen for more than two months, Celine's heart was filled with joy.

I don't know if it's her illusion, I haven't seen him for more than two months, and I always feel that my disciple seems to have become a lot more handsome!

At this time, Brand looked at his teacher Celine with a "surprised" expression on his face, and then sighed:

"Teacher Celine! I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so radiant! You are fascinated by your apprentice and my heart!"

When Brand said this, Celine felt that her face under the veil was rapidly turning red.

Although she was very happy to be praised by Brand, she still tried her best to show a frown.

Celine is quite familiar with some of Brand's strange "characteristics".

There must be something behind the hard work and praise.

Thinking about it this way, Celine folded her arms and asked with a serious face, "How's the vacation homework I assigned?"

To Celine's surprise, after hearing her inquiry, Brand quickly handed in a perfect assignment.

Seeing the complex script No. 1 to No. 3 in her hand, Celine's eyes were full of surprise.

"You actually finished it?"

"Say it like I'm not going to finish it!"

Seeing Celine so surprised, Brand felt a little upset.

But listen to Celine's analysis:

"These three runes have cost you a lot of thought, right? According to your study-weary personality, if there is no external force to force you, you will not be so diligent."

At this time, Celine's eyes shone with wisdom:

"So during the holiday, something must have happened at your house?"

Although it is an interrogative sentence, Brand always feels that it is an affirmative sentence.

Brand sighed in his heart. Although he hadn't been together for a long time, Celine undoubtedly knew him very well.

At the moment, Brand has no intention of hiding anything.

He told his teacher all about the Holland family's marriage plan, the "war letter" to Lord Holland, and the new version of the refreshing potion.

Brand finally sighed helplessly: "All kinds of things piled up all at once, which really made me feel a little bit at a loss!"
