Chapter 1006 988. The original story of Master Alchemy
“That’s really flattering.”
Shani had a look of surprise on her face. She really didn’t expect Dandelion, an unreliable person, to be such an unreliable person. Really well-connected.
The story of the demon hunter has spread widely with Lan En's story. The profession that was once generally exposed to the older generation and is about to disappear is now even more famous than it was in its heyday.
And Triss also gained considerable popularity after the Battle of Sodden Mountain.
At that time, the mountain was renamed 'Fourteener Peak' and 'Mage Mountain', and Triss was the 'Fourteener on the Hill'.
Promoted as a northern war hero.
As a member of the pioneering group of Oxenfurt college students, Shani is certainly aware of these stories.
“But.” But immediately, confusion appeared on her face.
"Wait, Dandelion. This is just a business failure. What do you want to do with such a big fight?"
"Of course I know this is just a business failure. They are here to find Dudu, but at that time our common halfling friend had not yet stumbled, and then hid from people."
The identity of Dudu's shapeshifter Only a few friends know that his external identity has always been "Dudu Bibwit of Polygonum Pasture", the cousin of the Bibwit in the halfling family.
Lan En was originally standing in the corner with his hood on, occasionally glancing at the alchemy equipment in another small room.
And he found that after Shani said Dudu, the intellectual girl's face became obviously ugly.
"Friend. Hey, Dandelion. I'm not saying there's something wrong with Dudu's morals, but..."
Shani spoke with a complaining tone and stopped talking halfway through.
“The partner he found was really careless.”
Dandelion also laughed awkwardly after hearing this.
In Shani's eyes, the reason for the failure of this business was purely due to careless employment.
Dandelion was just a matchmaking middleman before. He was not very clear about business matters, so the group of people decided to come here.
During the conversation between Shani and Dandelion, Lan En finally understood how Dudu got into debt.
Mr. Transformer is well-informed. As for why he is well-informed, his friends don't know. In short, he is well-informed.
He knew earlier than all the merchants in Novigrad that there was a coup in the Arc Coast Principality.
The princess of that principality overthrew her tyrannical and mediocre father, at least that's what the publicity said.
The old king actually wanted to implement the right of first night in the principality again.
"He is at least seventy years old, and his sexual function has seriously deteriorated. I really don't know what he can do if he wants the right to have the first night? Look at young and beautiful girls at night? Rely on touching to satisfy him? Rely on his wrinkled hands And mouth?”
Xia Ni made a bitter sarcasm from the perspective of a medical student.
Dandelion disagreed.
"You still haven't seen enough, Shani. Many old kings can bloom and bear new buds when they are more than sixty years old. Seventy years old is not too outrageous."
"And the right of first night is not important at all. What is important is that he wants to marry his daughter off as soon as possible so that she can become a queen in another country instead of staring at the seat under her father's butt."
"Then the princess overthrew him before getting married."
In order to distinguish herself from the old king, the princess in the coup changed the background color of the family crest.
The change is not big, just a few color numbers.
But the problem is that the original common colors become difficult to use after a few color differences.
There are deviations in the raw materials and techniques of printing and dyeing.
Coupled with the enthronement ceremony of the Grand Duchess and the fact that all places and troops across the country have to wear new badges and new colors, if they can seize this profit point, any businessman can make a lot of money.
At this time, Kalkstein brought Shani, who was studying abroad, to Novigrad.
Before all the merchants received news of the coup in the Arc Coast Principality, Dudu had already approached the master of alchemy and was about to start formulating a new dye.
With this information gap, the shapeshifters deserve to make a lot of money.
The color itself is not difficult to do, and it can be done by hiring a color master.
But the most important thing to pay attention to in mass production is the cost. If Kalkstein's alchemy can fix the dye formula, it can be produced much cheaper than the color master's plan.
Kalkestein himself is also happy to make a fortune. After all, his research has always been expensive, and this work is not difficult for him.
“It only took the master half a day to finalize the production formula of this new color, and this formula is very cheap. I am not a professional dye merchant, but I heard them say that the cost of this formula is almost as high as Carmine is as cheap as dyeing red cloth."
Shani said casually. It was obvious that she was not following Kalkstein to learn how to prepare dyes with alchemy, but for her own medical career, so she was interested in it. I'm not too crazy about this recipe.
"Dudu has already spent a lot of money, and even borrowed money from Vivaldi Bank to purchase raw materials. But at this moment... Alas, Dudu didn't understand that one of his The supplier of raw materials is actually someone from the Novigrad gang.”
"So, those raw materials were seized? By the gangsters in Novigrad?"
Lan En, who had not interrupted, just turned around and looked at the alchemy equipment in the back room and the movements of Kalkstein, suddenly spoke. Said.
"What if we snatch the raw materials back?"
"It's useless." Shani said indifferently, not knowing who the person under the hood and cloak was.
“The only thing that grabs this business is the time difference. It’s too late now. Now those businessmen know what happened to the Arc Coast Principality. The profit margins have been compressed.”
"And in addition to the loan from Vivaldi Bank, the gang also urged Dudu to hand over the payment, and even chased us here."
"What?" Dandelion looked surprised. "Didn't they fail to deliver the goods? Then why should they collect 'payment'? And this business was disrupted because of them!"
"Yes, the gangsters don't know anything, they only know that they have heard the rumors. Then he went to extort money like a mad dog," Shani sneered ironically. "So you can't still expect them to be reasonable, right?" Dandelion was speechless.
The current situation is that Dudu, who is hiding from debts, still cannot show up.
It is normal for a person who owes money to a regular bank and is forced to bear the debt by gangsters who dare not show his face in Novigrad.
The small room fell into silence. Geralt looked around before speaking.
"So, where did you and Dudu meet for the last time?"
Now that we have a rough idea of what happened, the rest can only be done in a witcher's way advanced.
"We discussed the payment issue at his place, five days ago. Wait. Are you Geralt of Rivia? The one in Dandelion's poem?"< br>
After Shani had a conversation with Geralt, she matched the person in front of her with the image in the poem.
Her eyes were full of surprise.
“Have you really been saved by Dandelion more than ten times?”
Geralt’s face froze, and he slowly turned his head to face someone who didn’t know when his eyes were drifting upward. , Dandelion as if there was some art worth appreciating on the wooden roof.
“Ah, yes. I was, really, saved by him many times.”
Geralt spoke word by word, and even with Dandelion's face, he was almost whistling in embarrassment.
Once the required information is complete, you can take action.
But when Shani stood at the door, waiting as if seeing off guests.
They discovered that Lan En had no intention of leaving immediately.
He stood at the partition between the two rooms, like a wall.
An interested voice came from under the hood.
It’s not about Dudu, but about the reactions that occur in those alchemical instruments.
“Only now can I confirm that you are making the base material for [Golem Heart]?”
Triss was originally just standing with Lan En, but she She was just standing against the wall with a cute and lively look.
After listening to Lan En’s words, her red lips first opened in a daze, and then she said ‘Huh? ’.
[Golem], a sophisticated magical construction technology created by the wizards of this world due to a tragic massacre.
Mold the body with inorganic materials, put it into the golem's heart, and activate it with magic to get a moving golem.
It is the robotics technology of the wizarding world.
The most common rock golem weighs at least a hundred kilograms in one fist.
And he never sleeps, does not need to drink water, eat or go to the toilet, and follows orders faithfully and rigidly.
Not only could it kill a hundred knights, it could even do the work of a hundred skilled laborers.
Magicians everywhere tend to use golems to protect laboratories, libraries and residences.
The only disadvantage is that it is expensive.
Master Kalkstein, who had been circling in front of the alchemy equipment and had not even turned around just now, suddenly stopped after Lan En spoke.
After that, he slowly turned around and looked at the man in black robe and cloak blocking his door.
"Oh?" He also seemed to be very interested, "You can understand what I am doing. Sir, haven't you asked for advice yet?"
Kalkestein's appearance is by no means good-looking, and can even be called strange.
Berengar looks a bit like a primitive man because of his long face and slightly protruding mouth bones.
Then Kalkistan is simply a bit like an ape.
But as a warlock and a famous alchemy master, his outfit and neatly groomed beard and hair still show his superior material conditions.
"Your book "Making Inanimate Matter Move" has benefited me a lot."
Lan lowered his head and walked into the back room where Kalkestein was, while slightly raising the brim of his hood.
A strand of hair like molten silver slipped down, and a beam of light slightly illuminated the face under the hood.
The time Kalkestan faced his own face was very short. According to Mentos and Lan's estimation, it was similar to Wind and April in the New World.
His eyes widened slightly, and he obviously knew who these characteristics represented.
"The tall body, hair, appearance, and this wisdom"
Kalkstein stood up from his squatting position, stretched out his hand, and sounded surprised.
"Lane of Sintra?! Oh my gosh, your analysis paper on human cell differentiation and division is simply brilliant! Wait, are you hiding your identity? I'm a bit too abrupt, am I not? ”
Don’t look at the fact that he showed no interest in the conversation of the people behind him the whole time, and he didn’t even want to waste time turning around to say hello.
But after recognizing Lan En, everyone realized that this alchemy master did not have no emotional intelligence, but just tended to 'selectively show emotional intelligence'.
There is no doubt that Lan En is the person he feels deserves to show emotional intelligence and take care of his feelings.
