Chapter 29 The Apprentice
"Lord Baron, this is Victor, a disciple of Master Wood in Flash City. He is currently an apprentice pharmacist."
Steward Bohr brought the messenger into the castle to meet the baron. Although Byron asked Judith to help find a suitable pharmacist to develop the territory, it was still too difficult to attract a real master pharmacist.
Victor had a poor background, coming from the slums of Harker Street in Glitter City. He worked as a handyman for Master Wood for three years before being accepted as an apprentice because of his diligence and intelligence.
But the teacher will not pay the student's tuition. This kind of learning is a fair exchange. Victor must pay the tuition to his teacher Wood, and also bear the loss of pharmaceutical materials during the learning process.
This was simply unaffordable for Victor, who came from a lower-class background. If Wood hadn't exempted part of his tuition fees in the early stage, he wouldn't even have been able to get into pharmacy.
Although Master Wood admires this disciple very much, he is a very disciplined person. Knowledge always comes at a price, and there is no free lunch in this world.
For this reason, Victor had to find a job that could support his study of pharmacy. Other pharmacy apprentices were unwilling to come to the countryside during the disaster, but he had to earn tuition, and the treatment given by Byron
Quite impressive.
"Just a pharmacist apprentice?"
Byron looked at Victor's resume and felt a little dissatisfied. A pharmacist apprentice wanted to find plants with the same medicinal properties based on his prescription and refine a potion with similar effects. This would probably be difficult.
sky.
However, Byron remained calm on the surface and still greeted the apprentice pharmacist enthusiastically.
After all, he also knows the situation in the territory, not to mention that it is still during the demonic disaster. It is good that someone is willing to come, but he cannot be too ambitious.
"Welcome to Siberia, Maester Victor."
Byron smiled and asked Bol to prepare the most comfortable room and exquisite refreshments for the young man.
"The Siberian Territory is not as wealthy as Glitter City, but Bachelor Victor will definitely enjoy the best treatment here."
Victor raised his head and looked at the young lord. He seemed to have a kind of natural confidence in him, and his words were calm and convincing. This was difficult to see from a young nobleman.
He had seen too many nobles of Byron's age in Glitter City, who were pompous, hypocritical, childish, and full of arrogance.
"Thank you, Lord Baron. My service to you will definitely be worth the money."
The principle that Victor believes in is fair exchange, which is also the idea that his teacher Wood has always instilled in him. Since he has chosen to serve Byron, he will do his best to do his best.
Byron looked at the young apothecary apprentice in front of him. He was plainly dressed, down-to-earth and capable. According to Judith, he had good talent. If it weren't for his mother being a prostitute, many nobles would be willing to support him.
"Bachelor, let's go. Follow me to see the shop and workshop I have prepared for you."
Byron stood up and asked Lawrence to prepare the carriage and prepare to travel.
"Please just call me Victor. I don't deserve the title of Bachelor."
Victor said humbly that he was just an apprentice, and bachelor is a title that can only be enjoyed by formal pharmacists.
"With your talent, it will be a matter of time before you become a bachelor. Don't worry about it."
"But I respect your wishes, Victor. I will celebrate for you when you officially become a maester."
Byron respected the wishes of the apothecary apprentice and no longer called him a bachelor.
"Thank you for your understanding, Baron."
The baron's attitude was recognized by Victor. Although it was work everywhere, being able to serve an enlightened lord would at least make him feel happier.
"This is a residential area, with more than 3,000 people living in it. Although it is not large now, it will be expanded in the future."
The carriage passed through the residential area, and Byron introduced the situation of the territory to Victor.
The residential area is mainly populated by ordinary people from the Siberian Territory. According to the planning and design, the houses are located in a smooth and orderly manner, and everything appears to be in order. It can be seen that Byron has spent a lot of thought on it.
Victor saw that the faces of the subjects did not show any anxiety or fear caused by the outbreak of the demonic disaster. When they saw the lord traveling, they all stopped what they were doing and showed respect to the baron's driver.
He could see that it was respect and love from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that this baron was quite popular among the people in the Siberian Territory.
"No buildings have been built on these open spaces, but I plan to use them as cultural areas in the future."
Other areas outside the castle are still a little empty, but the plan has begun to take shape.
"Well. In the future I will build this place into a town."
Byron sketched the blueprint in his mind, and Victor seemed to see a city full of hope rising from the ground. It must be said that it has great investment value.

"We're here. Victor, this is the shop and workshop prepared for you."
The carriage stopped, Lawrence opened the curtain, and Byron got out of the carriage first, then supported the frail apprentice.
"I'm sorry, Baron. I've never been in good health."
Victor got out of the carriage with Byron's help. He felt a little frightened by the baron's courtesy.
And Byron was just out of etiquette and the idea of protecting the apprentice. After all, Victor was now his "private property" in a sense, and he didn't want the future bachelor to be touched or bruised.
.
This shop is not big, but the room is very organized and suitable for storing medicines and materials. It can be seen that it has been carefully designed.
The workshop is located underground in this room, and it contains basic alchemy tools. This set of tools is worth a lot in terms of money, but fortunately Byron can redeem it with merits, and it costs less than twenty merits.
The first reason why it is set up underground is for convenience. You can conduct pharmaceutical research by going downstairs. The second reason is for safety. If you go upstairs immediately in case of an accident and cover it with an iron plate, you can effectively avoid the explosion.
"Very good, Baron, I can start potion production right away."
Victor is quite satisfied with this place. Although it is not as good as Master Wood's alchemy workshop, it is at least his own place. This feeling and meaning are different.
"Don't worry, Victor, you just came to Siberian Territory. You can rest first and move around more."
Byron did not intend to let Victor start researching elixirs so soon. He still had concerns. At least he would wait until the apprentice became an official pharmacist first before Byron would make his request.
He also wants to inspect the apprentice for a period of time.
Even if Victor cannot refine elixirs for Byron, having a pharmacist who can produce medicines can still bring considerable profits to the territory.
You know, many potions are not only popular in the Siberian Territory, but are also needed in Glitter City.
Healing potions, strength potions, wisdom potions, etc. Of course, Victor can only refine secondary healing potions at present. This kind of potion is not difficult to refine, can produce a lot every month, and has a wide audience and excellent sales.
.
"There is still a long time ahead. I hope you can enjoy your stay in Siberia."
Byron asked Lawrence to give Victor the keys to the pharmacy and workshop.
"Thank you for your kindness, Baron."
Victor saluted Byron in tribute.
"According to the previous agreement, I will provide you with the materials, and I will enjoy 80% of the profits from all the pharmaceutical output, and I will pay you ten Galanxi gold coins every month, right?"
"Yes, Baron."
This is exactly the treatment they had negotiated before. This remuneration is quite good, and there is also a certain percentage of profit sharing. The nobles of Glitter City will not be so generous.
They will only give a fixed reward, and the profits from the medicine belong to the nobles.
"This is your reward in advance."
Lawrence followed Byron's instructions and handed ten Galance gold coins to Victor.
"Yin Laien will send someone to deliver the potion materials at the beginning of every month. If you have any needs or worries, Victor, you can come to me directly."
"If I'm not here, you can talk to Yin Laien or Lawrence."
In this way, this apothecary apprentice from Glitter City settled down in the Siber Territory.
