King

Formula research is full of unknowns, and no one knows when the results will be produced. You still have to find a way to obtain the life liquid.

After careful consideration, Hudson finally did not speak to the local nobles, but instead turned to the northern nobles with whom he had a good relationship.

As a businessman, if you don’t have many others, you must have many friends. Even though the local nobles and the northern nobles belong to two camps, it does not affect the business between the two parties at all.

The more transactions you make, the more everyone becomes acquainted. The relationship is neither far nor close, so it’s just right to talk about this kind of thing.

Market price + 30% is the sincerity given by Hudson. You get as much as you want, full of richness.

It seems that the price is high, but in fact this premium is to pay for favors. In the past, trading in the circle required not only money, but also favors.

If it weren't for the fact that the Koslow family had enemies in the North, it is estimated that the family knights would have gone to the Northern Territory to fight and use their military exploits to exchange life essence for their descendants. Not so embarrassed.

It will take a month or two for the results to come out as to how much life liquid can be replaced. There will be something to gain after all. If you can't get a share, no one will agree.

In Dadir City, the relationship between Hudson and the Northland nobles became closer, which soon stimulated the Sith Baron.

As an outsider, if you don't have the strength to overwhelm local snakes, you will eventually have to blend in.

The Sith Baron is also very aware of this, but how to integrate is very particular. He, the boss, didn't even express his position. What's the point of the younger brothers trying to ease relations with the local forces first?

It seemed to be just an ordinary business, but the Sith Baron, who was not low in political sensitivity, soon read something different from it - his control over his little brother was declining!

In the past, if you wanted to trade with a local noble, you had to at least send a representative to say hello to him.

But now, everyone knew that he, the boss, was taboo, but they still reached an agreement with Hudson without saying a word, making it clear that they didn't take him seriously.

The aftermath of the Kettle incident broke out.

The failure to kill the chicken in time to scare the monkeys and establish his authority caused the Sith Baron's prestige among the nobles of northern Xinjiang to plummet.

Coupled with the strong rise of the Mountain Territory, a group of northern Xinjiang nobles realized that if they continued to fight, they, outsiders, would suffer greatly.

At this juncture, everyone would be happy to accept the kindness released by Hudson.

It seems like a simple transaction, but it also depends on what is being traded. In the Aslant continent, those who can trade the life liquid are--"our own people."

What's more, it's a price-increased transaction. If you become the winner once, you can make a fortune from it, so you can't refuse it.

In the face of interests, the nominal boss is worthless. Someone takes the lead, and everyone doesn’t mind following suit.

The law does not punish everyone. When everyone participates in the transaction, it means that no one participates.

Even if he received the news, Baron Sith, the boss, would not be able to delve into this issue.

If you want to carry out liquidation, let's deal with the traitor "Kately" first, and then let's talk!

“Damn it Hudson, what does he want to do?

Do you really think I'm afraid of him?

The repeated provocations are simply..."

The Sith Baron couldn't help but cursed angrily.

Without warning, a competitor comes over again to poach you. With the precedent of Baron Kettle, Sith did not think that the Northland nobles were very loyal to the group.

It was originally thought that after Caitley betrayed his own camp, he would not be able to integrate into the local aristocracy, and would also encounter collective resistance from the northern aristocrats.

It turned out that it was just his own fault. It is true that Keterai failed to integrate into the local aristocracy, but the northern Xinjiang aristocrats did not resist.

The reason is very simple. Baron Sith believes that Baron Kettle is betraying, but it does not mean that other nobles also think so.

In essence, Caitley did nothing to disgrace the group except for tricking the Sith Baron.

Even the debts owed were repaid quickly after a short period of turnover, leaving no excuse for the Sith Baron to liquidate.

Lacking a reason to call everyone to act together, if you want to seek Caitley's bad luck, you have to do it yourself.

However, this person is not a soft persimmon. The Maple Leaf Leader's military strength is close to three-sevenths of his, and the losses in a fight will definitely be considerable.

The Sith Baron was not an impulsive person. After considering the comparison of strengths between the two sides, he decisively suppressed the idea of ​​taking action.

A correct choice militarily does not mean a correct choice politically. For the noble children of the North who worship the strong, Baron Sith's performance is undoubtedly not strong enough.

Although the identity begins with a high level, if "illegitimate child" is added in front of it, it becomes the object of common despise, envy, jealousy and hatred by everyone.

In the final analysis, there are still too many careerists. Secretly, everyone is thinking about being the boss, and no one is willing to be reduced to a foil.

"Master, calm down!

Anger only burns reason and makes people make wrong decisions. There is nothing positive about the situation.

Just one business doesn't mean much. There are many people waiting for you to make a mistake. Any decision made out of anger will only make the enemy happy! "

Butler Phelan persuaded him earnestly.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt as if his young master had been plotted against. After moving into Dadir City, he became easily angered, not like he did in Northland, where he remained calm despite the landslide before his eyes.

The Sith Baron was not the only one to have a similar reaction. After many nobles in the North became lords, they did not control their emotions very well.

If everyone's sanity hadn't been affected, Faerun would have suspected that the collective was cursed.

If Hudson were here, one glance would give him the answer - postwar psychological syndrome.

The evil spirit accumulated on the battlefield has not been released.

The world has changed, and there are rules and regulations everywhere. Even the slightest transgression is not allowed, and if you are wronged, you can only swallow it in your stomach.

There is no place to vent your anger, and if you hold it in for a long time, it will naturally affect your mood. Being easily angry is just a basic manifestation.

"I know, I'll pay attention."

Baron Sith said coldly.

I hear similar words too much, but the effect is getting smaller and smaller. Being able to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart is because the Sith Baron is determined.

"Master, one transaction doesn't mean anything. Even if they want to ease their relationship, it can't be solved with one transaction.

As a representative of the local aristocracy, Baron Hudson is also helpless now. Even if he is willing to accept these people, he has to consider the reaction of his subordinates.

According to historical experience, if foreign nobles want to integrate into the local area, it often requires two or three generations to work together, which is definitely not less sad.

It just so happens that these guys are all very ambitious and pretentious, so how can they be willing to remain humble and small?

Compared to the situation in Wright County, Wyton County actually needs more attention. After Baron Cayo moved into Luoye Town, there was no movement at all, which was very abnormal.

A few days ago, this person took the initiative to visit the Mountain Territory. Maybe the two of them had secretly reached an agreement.

The battle for voice within the local aristocracy will most likely not break out because of our existence.

However, those in Wyton County were not worried, and they all wanted to compete for the position of county guard. Even though they knew that Baron Cayo's arrival was not good, they could not unite. "

Butler Phelan analyzed with a wry smile.

His rich life experience told him that the more failure to take action, the greater the brewing storm.

The group of northern aristocratic children who went south had already passively become a whole. If there is a problem with the Northland nobles in Wyton County, Baron Sith will inevitably be involved.

In a sense, Wright and Wyton counties are now a whole. How one side determines the outcome will affect the outcome of the other side.

According to the original plan, Baron Sith would first control Wright County and then support his cronies to control Wyton County.

Unfortunately, the plan failed at the first step, and the situation in Wright County turned into a long-term confrontation. In the short term, there is no clear winner at all. On the contrary, the battle in Wyton County is easier to determine.

"Um!"

"The situation in Wyton County is indeed not optimistic. Please post for me and make an appointment with those people. Even if they want to cause trouble, they have to kick out their competitors first!"

…

In the Mountain Territory, Hudson was studying the translated formula, as if he was about to transform into an alchemist master.

They were all forced out.

Relying on others is ultimately better than relying on yourself.

It's not easy to find a master alchemist. I begged my father, sued my grandma, and solicited support from everyone. It took nearly two months, but in the end I just found an ordinary alchemist.

It's okay to help translate the formula, but it would be too difficult for someone to prepare the life essence with an incomplete formula.

Next, we will look at other branches. Anyway, all the family members in the southeastern province have tried their best.

The cub on the side is even more awesome, using the "Blood Moon Horn" as a toy, which is feared by the outside world. Push it up for a while, shoot it down for a while.

I have to admit that "Evil Weapon" is just different. The seemingly tattered horn remained unchanged no matter how much Bear Stearns tossed it.

Prior to this, none of the various weapons and armors collected by Hudson could withstand Bear Stearns' slap.

In order to reduce losses, Hudson issued an injunction to Bear Stearns early. The Blood Moon Horn, which was durable and had no apparent function, became the cub's only toy.

"boom!"

As the sound rang out, Hudson exploded again. This situation has become the norm since acquiring some simple alchemical knowledge.

Only Hudson could prepare the essence of life as an alchemy.

Looking at Hei Buliuqiu, it was considered an elixir, but Hudson didn't know if it would have any effect.

He put the ingredients exactly according to the formula. Because he lacked the key refining techniques, he could only rely on his own imagination to try.

For example, when smelting the magic core, Hudson manipulated Golden Finger to drain the energy from the magic core and re-inject it into the remaining magic core residue.

Other raw materials are processed according to the formula requirements. Finally, add a little water and it will become a dark paste.

Put it in a pot to steam, stir-fry, and boil, but all ended in failure. In the end, I had no choice but to throw it into the alchemy furnace.

For this reason, the master blacksmiths in the territory also added a new side job, building an alchemy furnace for Master Hudson.

I have played with firewood and charcoal fires, but this time I played with the magic fireball technique. Maybe I didn't have the fire control skills, and I successfully broke a pill furnace again.

"Bear Stearns, come over and help!"

Hudson greeted the cub unceremoniously.

Although Bear Stearns could not determine whether his results were fruitful, others could tell whether they were toxic.

These are all lessons learned. Anything that the cub thinks cannot be eaten will definitely lead to the death of the animal. Prior to this, countless animals have contributed their lives to Hudson's scientific research.

The bear stretched out his paw and looked at the dark elixir with disgust. Then under Hudson's gaze, he stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The speed was so fast that Hudson couldn't stop him in time.

"Bear Stearns, I just let you see it, but I didn't let you try it. I won't be responsible if you get upset after eating it!"

After all, he is his own bear. He may be a little naughty, but he is still qualified to be a bodyguard.

If things go wrong, who will be responsible for Mr. Hudson's personal safety?

Arrange an escort?

It's not that Hudson destroyed his prestige. Even if we find the most capable soldiers in the mountain territory, it won't be enough.

"The taste is a bit off, but I can barely swallow it. Hudson, I don't think you have the talent of an alchemist.

Keep working hard and improve the taste and presentation. It would be best to add some honey, animal milk, and some sugar..."

Bear Stearns' words made Hudson put his heart back directly. He glared at the foodie angrily and started a new round of alchemy.

The specific effect is not yet certain, but two things are certain: it eats immortal bears, and it is also good for the growth of bears.

As for what will happen if people eat it, further experiments are needed before we can draw a conclusion.

After all, the resistance of the Earth Bear is far beyond that of ordinary people.

It turns out that Hudson's guess was absolutely correct.

After a dozen rabbits and two wild deer exploded on the spot after eating them, he had to admit that the pills he made were bear feed pills.

Even if the dose was diluted with water, not a single animal that became a test subject came out of the laboratory alive.

After losing more than five thousand gold coins worth of medicinal materials, Hudson finally stopped the experiment. Now he deeply understands what "alchemy ruins a life" means.

It wasn't a complete loss of blood, but at least he had achieved something. Although it is very tasteless, Bear Stearns mostly complains about this pill that is not suitable for bears. In the end, it is the result.

The first time you engage in research and development, you will be able to produce results. No matter whether the result is useless or not, if you take it to the outside world, you can be called a "talented alchemist".

The growth path of most alchemists is this way. Every alchemist master's method of refining medicine is unique.

Even if you want to imitate, you can't imitate it. Even if it is a master-disciple inheritance, the details are very different.

In the end, the life solution purchased from outside solved the urgent need. However, the family's research and development plan for the original liquid of life was finally put on hold due to Hudson's hard work and persuasion.

If you don't have your own alchemist, spending money on research and development for others is definitely a waste of money.

A sane person like him could waste thousands of gold coins at once, but God knows how much it would cost if he were replaced by a bunch of alchemy lunatics.

The most important thing is that in the laboratory, investors like them don't know whether they are studying the original liquid of life or doing something else.

It would be fine if there was an alchemist master presiding over it. Regardless of your level, no matter how much money you spend, you will still get results.

If he were to switch to an ordinary alchemist whose abilities were yet to be determined, Hudson thought it would be better to do it himself. At the very least, he is still someone who has achieved something. Most so-called alchemists can only copy the achievements of their predecessors.

Being able to plagiarize is not bad, but the most important thing is that even if you plagiarize intact, you can only get 50 or 60 points out of 100.

It’s not that they don’t work hard, it’s that there are no specific standards for many things, and they can only rely on subjective judgment based on experience. In this industry, talent and luck are more important than hard work.

Not to mention that it is difficult to judge the efficacy of medicinal materials. Even if they are the same magic core, two different ones have completely different energy inside.

In the delicate configuration of magic potions, any deviation will affect the final result. The Hudson experiment is the best example. It was originally intended to prepare the original liquid of life, but in the end it could only be used to feed bears.

…

"Sir, I just received news. There is a locust plague in the neighboring province and it is attacking the southeastern province.

It is said that there is also a leader of the Insect King who has been promoted to Warcraft. He has considerable intelligence and has avoided being hunted by the kingdom's organizations many times.

The Governor-General issued a strict order, ordering everyone to prepare to fight the locust plague. At the same time, a reward order was issued, with a reward of 1,000 coins for killing an insect king. "

After receiving this bad news, Hudson almost vomited three liters of blood. It's just that the alchemy failed, but now the locust plague has come to join in the fun.

Once the locust plague affects the southeastern provinces, it is inevitable that food prices will skyrocket. However, the mountainous areas are not yet self-sufficient in food, and the income from a year of hard work may not be enough to cover the losses caused by the skyrocketing food prices.

The increase in food prices is not the worst thing. The most terrifying thing is that even if you have money, you can't buy food. After every locust plague, hell on earth will appear.

Especially when the Warcraft Insect King appears, even if the nobles work hard to provide disaster relief, it will be difficult to contain the locust plague.

When it comes to dealing with locusts, knights are definitely not as good as magicians, but looking at the pitiful number of magicians, you know that they can't count on them.

Even if a magic spell can easily kill tens of thousands of locusts, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the huge number of locusts.

If locusts really attack the Mountain Territory, then Hudson will have no choice but to lead the Territory people to eat the locusts. I just don’t know what the locusts in Aslant continent taste like and whether they can be eaten.

"Tom, immediately lead people to reinforce the warehouse and replace all parts with stone. Inform the security chiefs to suspend land reclamation operations and organize people to harvest the grain that is about to mature.

Vegetables grown in the fields and wild vegetables grown in the mountains are harvested, dried and stored as much as possible. Remember not to damage the roots. If there is no locust plague, there will still be harvests later.

Forage reserves must also be arranged. This matter is very important, so leave it to Nick.
