Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

In the following time, Verin prepared the materials needed for the potion workshop while paying attention to whether the businessman Hook from the Nankul Chamber of Commerce showed any other abnormal behavior.

Three days later, the first bottle of potion was prepared.

Weilin held it in his hand, looked at the light blue liquid in the bottle, and shook it gently.

Hook, the businessman of the Nankul Chamber of Commerce, stood aside, listening to Moira's explanation while staring at the potion in Verin's hand. Although the greed in his eyes was well hidden, Verin was still aware of it. .

"The growth environment of this potion plant is extremely harsh. I named it Ice Blue Grass. The potion in Weilin's hand is made from Ice Blue Grass and is called Ice Blue Potion."

Moira stopped, took the ice blue potion from Verin, and explained to the two of them in detail: "Ice blue potion has a very good hemostatic effect and can be used to heal any wound. The most important thing is that it It has ice properties, and when used for treatment, it has a numbing feeling and can relieve pain, which is incomparable to diluted holy water of life.”

"So, Hook, how much do you think this ice-blue potion is worth?" Weilin looked at Hook with a smile, looking forward to his answer.

After some thought, Hook stared at the ice blue potion in Moira's hand and said, "I am willing to pay three gold coins for this potion, and our merchant will come to pick up the goods. All the expenses on the journey will be borne by us." bear."

"I'll think about it again."

Weilin did not give an answer right away, and planned to hang Hook up until some time later.

The next day, Verin stepped up surveillance of Hook to prevent him from passing on information to the outside world and causing an unpredictable crisis.

…

Time passed quickly, and another year slowly turned over, arriving on January 1, 9722 in the glorious calendar.

[Three hundred kilometers west of the Lake of Prayer for Stars, a legendary mage walking in the star world will stay for ten days, taking your most precious treasures to trade with him, and you will get a lot of treasures. 】

Weilin, who was overseeing the potion preparation workshop, was suddenly stunned when he heard the news.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Moira looked at Weilin who was standing there and asked in confusion.

"No, no, I just thought of something." Verin smiled at Moira, and then said, "Go on."

Moira was a little surprised, but did not ask further questions, and continued: "To prepare ice blue grass from raw materials to finished potion, it needs to go through twelve processes. Each process needs to carve four to five magic circles, which requires a lot of magic. Materials, such as magic pearls, purple gold sand, black green wood, etc., will cost about 18,000 gold coins."

"Second, the energy supply method, either you recruit a few mages, or build an element pool, once and for all."

Verin thought for a while and asked: "Sister Moira, what are needed to build the element pool?"

"According to the size of your workshop, you need one high-level magic crystal as the eye of the elemental array, six intermediate-level magic crystals as assistance, and thirty low-level magic crystals as fuel to communicate with the elemental world and form a miniature elemental pool for The entire potion workshop supplies energy to drive the magic circle."

"That's it!"

Listening to Moira's offer, Verin fell into deep thought.

One high-level magic crystal is worth 80,000 gold coins, six mid-level magic crystals are worth 30,000 gold coins, and thirty low-level magic crystals are worth 12,000 gold coins.

If he wanted to solve the energy supply problem of the potion workshop once and for all, he would need to spend the equivalent of 122,000 gold coins.

According to Hook's previous valuation of the experimental product, the purchase price for a bottle of ice blue potion is three gold coins, and one ice blue grass can prepare two bottles of ice blue potion.

The No. 1 potion plantation can produce 6,000 ice blue grass plants per year. Together with the other five potion plantations, it can harvest 12,000 plants per year. Excluding accidental losses, it can also harvest 10,000 plants, which is equivalent to two Ten thousand bottles of ice blue potion, worth 60,000 gold coins.

"You can get your money back in three years at most, and make a profit in the fourth year."

Weilin murmured to himself, and the more he recited this data, the more excited he became.

Money, sixty thousand gold coins a year, made his little heart unbearable.

"Weilin, if you are inclined to build an elemental pool, you can apply for a loan from the Nankul Chamber of Commerce, and I can be your guarantor."

"No, Sister Moira, I can get all these things." Weilin suppressed his inner excitement and said calmly, "I'll trouble you next."

"Wha...what, you can actually take it out."

Seeing Moira's shocked expression, Verin said calmly: "Sister Moira, everyone has secrets, right?"

"I took the liberty."

As far as she knew, high-grade magic crystals had a price but no market. Apart from being circulated among the upper echelons of the kingdom, they almost never appeared in the hands of the lower nobles.

Even though Weilin was the son of Angus, she didn't believe that he would give such aid to her son.

As for the 80,000 gold coins for a high-grade magic crystal that is widely circulated in the market, it is just a unilateral price set by the kingdom. If it is actually exchanged for gold coins, it may be tripled.

In other words, it was extremely offensive for her to ask.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward, Verin immediately changed the subject and said, "Sister Moira, how long will it take you to complete the construction of the potion workshop."

"It will take about half a month. After all, it takes time to carve the magic circle."

It doesn't take long and is acceptable.

"Sister Moira, if you want anything, I will ask Baird to deliver it to you as soon as possible. I have some things to deal with after that. If you need anything, just ask him."

"kindness."

Then, Weilin took Kyle out of the No. 1 Magic Potion Plantation and returned to the castle.

After arriving at the castle, Weilin directly instructed Kyle: "Go and notify Baird to come over, and then prepare ten days of dry food, and accompany me out in the afternoon."

"Master, do you need other people to follow?" Kyle asked.

"No, there are only two of us. The fewer people who know about this, the better."

"I understand."

Handing the red phosphorus horse to Kyle, Weilin entered the castle and came to the study. He took out the things that Moira needed from his private storehouse and put them in a wooden box.

"Knock knock"

"Come in."

Outside the study, Baird heard Weilin's voice, pushed open the wooden door, came to Weilin, and bowed respectfully: "My Lord, you are looking for me."

"These are what Moira needs, you send them to her."

"Whatever she needs in the future, do everything possible to satisfy her."

"Also, notify Orlando and others to hold a one-year summary meeting on January 15."

"Finally, how is the cultivation of sweet grass going?"

"The juice yield is not good. Either find a druid to cultivate it, or give up."

"Okay, I'll make a decision after I'm done. Let's proceed according to the original plan."

"Yes."

Baird picked up the wooden box and left the study. To be safe, he was going to deliver it personally.
