Chapter 11 Phil's Potion Store
Genius, this is not an unfamiliar evaluation to Gothe. From childhood to adulthood, people around him have always praised him in this way.
But his genius is in the field of mathematics, which seems to be of little significance to the world of magic.
The former genius in the field of potions is the truly useful thing now.
The purchase price that Master Seda can get for the primary spider poison potion is 2 gold for a set (3 vials).
This is based on the premise that Master Seda has a certain level of strength and can deliver goods stably.
Obviously it is impossible to achieve this price for small-scale shipments by yourself, but it will not be much lower, and the advantage is pure profit without any cost.
"What a pity" Gothe couldn't help but sigh.
In addition to his outstanding talent in the field of potions, his predecessor was also much smarter than ordinary people in terms of scheming.
Gaode is not the only one who stays awake in this environment.
My predecessor was also such a person.
Just like Goude, he is not willing to wait in confusion for his destined fate, but tries to change his own destiny.
He began to prepare early to escape the difficulties he faced, and miraculously found a breakthrough with his own talent.
——As long as you have money, it is possible to find a way to crack the tracking mark.
But unfortunately, before he could save enough money, he was selected by Master Seda to test the medicine.
Time waits for no one.
If the predecessor is given some more time, maybe he can actually create a miracle of his own.
“Since I have been given a second chance, I will definitely succeed this time.”
With the savings left by my predecessor, I also have the qualifications to freely enter and leave the medicine garden that I just won, and "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow", the originally slim hope finally became faintly visible.
After eating the standard dinner of rye bread + pea soup, before it was dark, Gao De left the medicine garden with Amy with a full package.
The package contained five sets of primary spider poison potions, which he wanted to deliver to the magic shop in the city.
This job that originally belonged to Elan was handed over to him after he stabbed Elan to death.
Due to the existence of the tracking mark, Master Seda is not worried about the apprentices escaping. Under normal circumstances, the scope of activities of the apprentices is not restricted. At the same time, in order to save trouble, Master Seda was very relieved to release the potion. The job of delivering the goods was left to Elan.
Of course, the price was negotiated by Master Seda himself, and Yilan was only responsible for delivering the goods to his door.
Master Seda's Medicine Garden is located on the outskirts of Hogan City.
The establishment of a medicinal garden requires a large and fertile land.
As a potion master, Master Seda has many ways to make money, but his expenses are also huge and he cannot be lavish.
So even in a place like Hogan City, which is equivalent to an unknown small county town in the previous life, Master Seda can only choose the location of the medicine garden in a suburb with cheap land.
The place Gothe wants to go is the business district of Hogan City.
In most cases, a city's business district will be located in the best part of the city.
Hogan City is no exception.
Its business district is located in the most central location in the city.
Even though Hogan City is not that big, the location of the Medicine Garden is indeed remote.
It takes about an hour to walk from the medicine garden to the commercial district.
The round trip only takes two hours.
Before crossing, there are many means of transportation in Gaode for this distance.
Subway, bus and even taxi.
Only one would not consider walking.
But here, he only has one means of transportation - his own legs
Although there is still a means of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages in this world, the problem is that the rental of a horse-drawn carriage starts from one hour, and the starting price 2 silver, and then 6 copper will be added every 5 minutes.
At this price, only Master Seda is qualified to ride, and it has nothing to do with young apprentices like them.
The first impression of Hogan City on Gothe was just three words, it was too bad.
Along the way, there are twists and turns on the road. There is almost no planning at all. Most of the roads are still very narrow.
Due to the rain just two days ago, dirty water flowed across many sections of the road, and littered debris could be seen everywhere.
The feeling of restraint and crowding is overwhelming.
Along the way, most of the pedestrians I encountered were in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry.
Gaode knew that most of these pedestrians were factory workers in the city. They had to rush home before dark, then finish their chores as soon as possible and go to bed to rest, so as to save as much kerosene money as possible.
As we entered the slum settlement on the edge of Hogan City, the stench in the air became more and more intense. On the roadside, we could see many semi-employed, ragged poor people working as part-time workers, as well as street beggars.
Gothe and Amy are also from here.
This place is very chaotic, very poor, and there are many people.
There are also many thieves.
Gothe subconsciously grasped the straps of the package, bent slightly, quickened his pace, and walked through the messy streets with his head lowered under Amy's leadership.
Although he is barely a mage apprentice and has two tricks at his disposal, these two tricks have no lethality and are mainly functional. Coupled with his not-so-strong body, Gothe Just proceed with caution.
This is why Gothe brought Amy with him on this trip. All he had left to him from his previous life was knowledge, and his current situation was equivalent to that of a person with amnesia.
In other words, he doesn't know the way.
As we walked forward, when the smell in the air gradually faded away and the houses on both sides became much brighter, Gao De straightened his back again and looked straight ahead.
Now they are in the civilian residential area of Hogan City. After passing through this area, they reach the business district.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Gothe finally arrived at the business district before dark.
The business district of Hogan City is very prosperous. Because it is dark, the street lights on both sides of the road have been turned on.
The street lights here are all magic crystal lamps, powered by a strange crystal called magic crystal. They are much brighter than kerosene lamps.
We are in the same city, but only thirty or forty minutes apart. On one side, they are reluctant to light up the lights at night to save some money on kerosene, but on the other side, the more expensive magic crystal lanterns stay on all night long.
It’s like two worlds.
The streets in the business district are very spacious and tidy.
All kinds of tempting aromas waft from the high-end restaurants on both sides of the road.
When passing by a bakery called "Pande Bread", the sweet smell from the freshly baked pastries and biscuits wafted out of the store, which made Gothe and Amy swallow instinctively after eating rye bread all day. saliva.
Only the water price outside the bakery made the two of them pass by without looking sideways - the cheapest maple sugar cake cost 6 round copper coins for a small portion.
Pedestrians on the street are all wearing well-dressed clothes. However, the colors of men's clothing are very monotonous, usually brown and black. The dresses of ladies and ladies are much more colorful, with different colors and decorations. gorgeous.
Amy has bent slightly again, lowered her head, and quickened her pace, just like she did in the slums just now.
But it’s different.
Gaode, however, looked around with great interest, looking at the "exotic" customs that he had never seen in his previous life.
Following the house number, Amy took Gaode to the destination of their trip.
"Phil's Potions Store".
A medium-sized store occupying the three house numbers of this street, 18, 19, and 20, has a large signboard, and there is also a water sign at the door.
“Phil’s Potions Store summons diligent herb collectors.”
"The maturity period of thorn grass is coming soon, so the grass grows on high mountains, the picking period is very short, and the demand is large. There is an urgent need to hire 5-10 temporary herb pickers with good physical strength, hard work and hard work."
< br>"This job requires going up the mountain and sleeping in the wild, and you need to follow the instructions of our pharmacist."
"You will be paid according to the quantity and quality of collection, and our store will provide necessary outdoor equipment and food."
< br>"If you are interested, please come to our store for an interview as soon as possible in the near future."
"."
It's an announcement for a handyman.
Bramble grass is a kind of medicinal herb with small thorns on its surface. Its medicinal effect is to restore physical strength. The dried thorn grass is often used as an auxiliary drug in the preparation of physical recovery medicine.
The physical recovery potion is one of the best-selling low-level potions, so when the thorn grass matures, pharmacies usually collect it in large quantities and then dry and preserve it to ensure a stable supply throughout the year.
The herbal knowledge about thorn grass flashed through Gothe's mind.
He took his eyes off the water sign and strode into Phil's Potion Store.
This is the shipping party that Master Seda talked about.
Because the specific details have already been agreed upon, and this is not the first time we have cooperated, and AutoNavi is only responsible for delivery, the transaction was completed smoothly.
After he walked into the store, revealed his identity and purpose, he handed five sets of primary spider poison potions to the clerk, and then received a "receipt note" stamped with the seal of Phil's Potion Store, which was considered completed. completed the mission of this trip.
——The coins are not in the hands of Gaode. Every once in a while, Master Seda will come to collect the payment himself with the "receipt note".
"Gothe?" After leaving Phil's Potion Store, Amy saw Gothe looking around, as if he was looking for something.
Gothe came back to his senses.
The primary spider poison potions belonging to Master Seda have been taken out, but his own set of primary spider poison potions are still lying quietly in his package.
Gaode doesn't remember where his predecessor sold these potions before, but it's not a big problem. He can open up a new channel.
"Amy, I want to walk around again, you should go back first." He turned to Amy and said.
Amy was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "It's so late, there is no magic crystal lantern in the slums."
After Gothe thought about it, it did make sense. This world was different from his previous life. Public security could not be guaranteed. Especially in places like slums, it was safer to go together.
He took out 6 copper coins from his pocket and put it into Amy's hand, "Wait for me at the door of Pande Bakery. I will go find you after shopping, and then we will go back together."
"Gothe." Amy was not surprised that Gothe had money in his hands. Instead, she persuaded: "Since Master Seda's potion has been successful, we should be able to live a stable life. You are one of us." The one with the strongest talent will definitely be valued by Master Seda."
"Are you sure?" Gothe was not surprised that Amy knew something, and just asked.
After all, under the same roof, it would be strange for Amy to know nothing.
"Probably" Amy muttered, looking very guilty.
Obviously, he knew what Master Seda was like in his heart, but he was just subconsciously deceiving himself.
"I have offended Master Seda by killing Yilan. Besides, the situation will not be worse no matter what, right?" Gao De said, then turned and left, "I will come back soon. You.”
