Chapter 44 Return
Half a month means half a month.
After the last day of the Spring Bud Month, we enter the Green Leaf Month, and the city begins to become lush with greenery.
Gaode sent five sets of primary spider poison potions to Phil's Potion Store, and purchased another green spider sac from Phil's Potion Store that was enough to last half a month.
After doing all this, he stopped by Pierre's Grocery Store to take a look, and was surprised to find that the store door, which had been closed for half a month, had been opened today.
The familiar little old man was leisurely reclining on the recliner, basking in the warm morning sunshine, feeling very comfortable.
Gaode's face showed joy and he leaned over.
"You kid, you don't come and stare outside my store every day. I just came back yesterday. It's only been half an hour since I opened the door today, and not a single customer has come yet, and here you are."
Pierre also noticed Gothe's arrival, twisted his body, stood up somewhat reluctantly, and said hello.
"It just happened." Gothe's mind was filled with spell scrolls at the moment, as well as the worry about gains and losses that he might be about to make a fortune.
"Okay, I know what you are thinking," Pierre was a man and would not whet people's appetites at this time, "Wait a moment."
He moved the lounge chair and walked into the store. warehouse and walked out after a moment.
Seeing Pierre coming out of the warehouse, Gothe's eyes suddenly brightened.
The little old man was holding a scroll in his hand!
"I say you are lucky. The usage rate of the tapping spell is very low. The scroll masters of the Emerald Alliance only made a total of three tapping spell scrolls last year."
"Three scrolls, one was put on the shelves for sale, one was internally digested by the mages in the organization, and there was just this one left, and I got it."
While claiming credit, Pierre said While handing the scroll to Gaode, "Let's inspect the goods."
Gaode took the spell scroll as if he had found a treasure and looked at it carefully.
The texture of the spell scroll feels extremely strong and tight, and it also has a delicate fiber texture, giving it a natural and classic aesthetic. It should be made of finely processed animal skin.
The leather paper should have been specially treated to ensure that the magic power is preserved for a long time.
On the edges of the scroll are runes and magical symbols drawn in dark ink.
These patterns are more than just decoration, they hold the key to unlocking the power of the spell.
The scroll itself is rolled up tightly, and the two ends are tied with ropes. It is a slip knot that only needs a slight pull to open the scroll.
"It can be unlocked, and the magic in it will not be activated, don't worry." Pierre saw Gothe's impatience and hesitation, and interjected.
Hearing this, Gaode immediately untied the slipknot with confidence and opened the scroll.
What caught my eye was a spell written in a strange font.
These words seem to have a life of their own, occasionally shining with a faint light, revealing the magic contained within them.
Gaode didn’t recognize the text because it was magic text.
Unless he masters [Reading Magic] or is proficient in this kind of magical text, he can understand it.
However, this does not affect his use of spell scrolls.
To use a spell scroll, you only need to open the scroll, concentrate on the incantation on the scroll, and silently recite the specific intention in your heart to release the spell power sealed in the spell scroll.
Of course, before using it, the user must first identify the spells and levels on the spell scroll.
In addition, the user's mental power is also required to reach a corresponding level, otherwise he will not be able to control the spells in the spell scroll.
The mental power requirement for the user of the spell scroll is to reduce the spell level by 1 level, and the minimum is a mage apprentice.
In other words, a mage apprentice can use a 1st level spell scroll, a 1st level mage can use a 2nd level spell scroll, and so on
After looking at it for a while, Gothe tied the scroll again and smiled.
"You really helped me a lot."
"It's just business," Pierre shrugged and said casually: "It costs 7 gold to buy the scroll. Just because of the relationship, please have a meal. The money for the meal will not be yours." He stretched out his right hand, palm up, and handed it to Gothe.
Gothe quickly took out his pocket, counted 7 Sean gold coins and handed them to Pierre.
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
After this period of hard work selling medicine, the deposit reached 21 gold. Gaode, who just felt that he had a little more money recently, was knocked back to his original shape.
“There are only 14 gold left in the account”
“And in a few days, I have to buy a batch of sagebrush and snakegrass seedlings to plant in the medicine garden.”
“Otherwise, at the current consumption rate, the output of these two herbs in the medicine garden will not be able to keep up with the consumption rate by the end of the year.”
"If this situation comes to this, then all three main ingredients will have to be purchased from pharmacies. The cost of pharmaceuticals will rise from the current 20-25 silver back to 30 silver, and the profit of a set of medicines will be reduced by 10 silver. This profit But it’s too meager.”
“You must buy these herbal seedlings, and you must not delay them.”
“Buying the seedlings is an expense, and you also have to purchase and cultivate the seedlings. The required fertilizer is another expense.”
After calculating this, Gaode once again issued a sigh that is common in any world.
Ju Buyi!
"I can only pray that the legacy of Master Seda will not let me down."
Although Gothe is certain that there will be a "big explosion, special explosion", but what if it happens?
What if Master Seda is an old cunt, come up with some counter-routine.
There is actually nothing in the seemingly heavily protected box. It is not impossible that the truly valuable things are actually placed in the most conspicuous position.
In this case, apart from scolding "Lao Deng" a few times, he seemed to be unable to do anything.
You can't just exhume someone's body and whip it to vent your anger.
“The recent changes outside the city may not be as simple as imagined.”
Seeing Gothe put away the spell scroll and prepare to leave, Pierre hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped. Gao De asked him and kindly reminded him, "You can usually stock up on more food, so as not to be unprepared when something bad happens."
"Huh?" Gao De was surprised. , and quickly asked humbly and sincerely: "What do you mean by bad things?"
Based on his understanding of Pierre, he did not think that this little old man would be unreasonable and alarmist.
To mention him like this, he must have discovered something.
“It’s not yet certain, but the increase in the number of earth-line creatures is definitely due to a cause. I originally thought it might be the gathering of earth-line creatures caused by the maturity of some high-level magic plants.”
"But, this time lasted for too long," Pierre said with a serious expression. "After such a long time, the magic plant should have matured long ago. I can't determine what happened now. We still have to look at the situation.”
“My intuition tells me that something bad is likely to happen, but I don’t know if it will affect us.”
Pierre sighed and said a little more, "This time I went to Bremen City just to arrange a retreat. If the situation goes bad, I should run away to Bremen City."< br>
"I hope things don't get to that point. After all, people can run away, but my store can't run away."
At his age, if he really abandons the store and leaves, he will arrive in Bremen. It is estimated that there will be no new livelihood there, so we will have to rest on our laurels.
This is a choice you would make in the worst-case scenario.
"So, if possible, you should try to make some preparations." Pierre said this.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me." Gothe nodded seriously, feeling a little heavier unconsciously.
