Volume 1 Chapter 68 Little Lover
The dinner lasted for a long time, almost from noon to nearly afternoon.
The real eating part was actually over a long time ago, and the table at the back was divided into two stalls, Erin and the three girls occupied half of it around the berries, and Thor and other teenagers occupied the other half with wine glasses.
After sending the maidens away, Shogues departed, and he went to deliver the goods, collecting the proceeds of the second batch of potions from the Brotherhood.
The day after talking about the four grocery stores in the north and south districts, the first batch of potions that Thor had hoarded in his hand had been released, and nearly a hundred silver coins had been recovered.
Shogues has been in charge of that aspect of things, responsible for delivery and collection of money, but also quietly watching the business environment and sales in the town, as well as the collection of relevant information in all aspects.
It is said that the first batch of potions is selling well and is very popular in the market. Later, using the herb materials collected by the Loton and his colleagues from various sources such as commissions and market sweeps, Thor rushed to make a second batch of potions.
Due to the limited materials, the output was still a little smaller, and it only took four or five days to prepare more than a hundred bottles of potion, and it was only about thirty bottles for each of the four grocery stores.
However, as the first wave of potions has passed, the market has gradually become saturated, and the demand for potions will gradually slow down and slowly return to a normal rhythm.
Every time someone had to come forward to deliver and collect money, Shoggers would make a disguise in time and secretly carry out it in the name of the brotherhood, which was indeed the most dangerous part of the whole business.
Thor and Lottonvale returned to the bottom of the well and waited while chatting.
After waiting for a while, Shogues also returned to the bottom of the well, and said that the trip was quite relaxed, and he didn't notice anyone staring at him. For the town as a whole, the current Brotherhood is still an organization hidden in the dark.
The collection of payments is also smooth, even if the deterrent effect of the fraternity name is aside, as long as the quality of the potion is reliable, it is a win-win business for both buyers and sellers.
Coupled with the profits of the first batch of potions in Thor's hands, more than two hundred silver wolves were piled on the table, and there was still a heavy bag.
Thor took out a dividend of two hundred silver coins from the total amount, and kept the remaining dozens of silver as funds for the collection of medicinal herb materials.
According to the profit distribution ratio originally agreed upon by the four men, Thor and Xiugues each received sixty silver coins, and Lorton and Valle forty silver coins each, and everyone was in a good mood.
Lorton and Valle didn't have any extra ideas, they did very little in the process, but now the cost of the twenty silver coins invested had doubled. And as long as Thor's production here keeps dropping, he will have to take it later.
The reason why Thor wants to divide the bonus once is because it is inconvenient to leave too much money in his hands, and it is better to take it out and divide it first to prevent the risk of theft and accidents at all times.
After everyone left, the bottom of the well was quiet again.
After roughly cleaning up the bottom of the well, and looking at the amount of food left on the table, Thor thought about it and found a cloth bag to pack the food.
Back at the monastery, Thor found Bart crouching in the shadows doing nothing, and then quietly took him deeper into the cemetery.
"Great warrior Bondleton, have I become?"
Barton's strange tone was still a little reversed, he looked nervous, his giant-like body stretched straight like a soldier being reviewed.
Thor smiled and shook his head.
"The review of qualifications is a long-term thing, and we do not make judgments based on a person's momentary achievements. I've seen all the stories you taught those arrogant orphans before, and you've done a good job. ”
"So today, I brought some food as a reward and encouragement from the organization for your courageous deeds, and I hope you will continue to work hard. ”
"The next thing you have to do is to carefully observe the ordinary people around you. You have to learn to take care of yourself and try to live like them, so that you can do more difficult tasks in the future as a normal person, and mix in with them, can you do that?"
Bart may have understood most or part of these words, but he nodded solemnly and earnestly.
Thor sighed inwardly and untied the cloth bag in his hand, revealing the cold but fragrant roast inside.
A happy and excited expression appeared on Bart's face, which was already a supreme delicacy for him who chewed black bread every day and still couldn't get enough of it.
The huge body crouched down, and Bart ate ate happily, but after eating for a while, he seemed to think of something, and looked up at Thor.
"What organization?"
"An organization that lives in the darkness and fights for freedom. Thor snorted as he snorted, looking up at the dark sky.
It was a beautiful time, and many people used to look up at the stars together and think about the meaning of their existence.
But now, we can only face the canopy of heaven where we can't see anything, irritable and anxious about how to survive in this damn darkness.
After eating with Bart for a while, Thor patted him on the arm and told him to eat slowly, then turned to leave.
The next day, Thor stayed at the bottom of the well to dispense potions, consuming the few herbs he had on hand.
"Your little lover has arrived, won't you go to reminisce about the old love?" Hughes, who came to the bottom of the well, came up with his usual playful expression on his face, as if you ask me and you ask me quickly.
Thor didn't even raise his head, he was already immune to Huggers's nonsense, and it was difficult to waver again.
The time to concentrate always passed quickly, and Thor didn't even notice when Shogues left, and it wasn't until I don't know how long it took for Shogues to come back to the bottom of the well.
"After completing the family sacrifice, they will leave Grey Curtain the day after tomorrow. Shogues said.
Family sacrifices, they leave?
Seeing that Shoggers was talking clearly, Thor looked up inexplicably and asked:
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Bertha Agrlington. Shoguez spat out a name with a deep expression on his face.
Bertha: What Bertha? I know this person?...... Wait, Agrlinton, that seems to be the lord's last name.
Thor felt as if he remembered something for a moment, but didn't catch anything.
"Didn't you save her life, the youngest daughter of Lord Savion? Shogues clasped his hands and looked at Thor with an expression on his face that you were pretending to be you.
After Shogues's suggestion, Saul woke up for a moment, but he only remembered what happened, as for what this Bertha, the other party's appearance and voice had long been unable to remember.
That must have been when I was eight years old.
One day Thor was sent to clean the cemetery in the backyard of the convent, and as soon as he picked up the broom, he heard the girl's sudden scream, and she seemed to be frightened by the skeletons wandering in the cemetery, and fell to the ground in fright.
Thor silently stepped forward to kick the skeleton apart, sweep it away, and bury it. Cleaning up the skeletons was originally the main content of cleaning the cemetery, and it was also considered the work of Thor.
The skeletons in the graveyard don't take the initiative to attack humans, and it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that they saved her life, but it may still bring some timely comfort to her frightened mind.
Later, the girl who seemed to come back to her senses once thanked her behind her, but Thor didn't even look back.
At the age of eight, Thor was deeply entangled and bullied by other orphans, chewing on the malice of this world, living in his own world all day long, never looking up, and never paying attention to his surroundings.
Later, it was said that the girl was a big man, attended the family sacrifice for the first time, and then quietly wandered to the backyard cemetery alone out of curiosity.
For the cleaning incident, Thor vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been praised by the chief priest later, but there was no substantial reward issued, and because the orphans said that they wanted to cling to the powerful, they were treated more harshly.
Now, nearly five years later, Thor has never remembered it rather than forgotten.
