Chapter 707: Second-Order Career Promotion Mission
After three days, the first batch of maple balm prepared before had completely melted.
In order to make ends meet, Sherlock once again locked himself in the Room of Need, making a potion of oblivion.
With the experience of the last time, and the promotion to the grandmaster, coupled with the favor of the power of fate from time to time, the quality of the finished product has been significantly improved this time.
After consuming all the maple juice, he roughly estimated that he would probably earn about eight or nine hundred thousand this time.
In a one-month cycle, nearly 45% of the profit is already considered a windfall profit in the game of the Forgotten Realm.
But this business shouldn't be long-lasting.
Forgotten Potions made by other players have already appeared on the market, and the price of raw materials has begun to rise slightly.
Sherlock thought for a moment and did not choose to proceed with the acquisition of materials.
After all, next, after advancing to the second-order profession, he will definitely be busy upgrading;
The third trial of the Triwizard Tournament is going to the ruins of the territory of Serre.
In a short period of time, it should not be such a long time to be idle.
After disposing of the forgotten potion in his hand, the quality of the wine he sealed in the cellar was gradually approaching its peak.
On the seventeenth day after the sealed preservation, when Sherlock opened the fifth barrel, a wonderful aroma suddenly wafted out.
The aroma of this wine has the intensity of ice confectionery and the freshness of edelweiss, which alternately stimulates your sense of smell, and Sherlock can't help but moan just by smelling it.
Prompt: You've successfully created a new cooking, please name it.
System Hint: You have made 100 quality cooking and successfully promoted to Cooking Master.
System Prompt: Complete all prerequisites, obtain the approval of the Book of Truth, and start the second-tier career promotion mission.
System Prompt: You have been approved by the Book of Truth to unlock access to the Book of Truth
It's finally done! Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that the certainty of this promotion to the Grandmaster was very high, he was always a little worried before he really advanced.
And if he fails, all his subsequent plans will be affected.
Luckily, it worked.
A Song of Ice and Fire: Quality 100, Strength +2 after drinking, Dexterity +2, Perception +2, Stamina +5/s, Mana Regen +30/s, Duration 2 hours.
A total of 6 temporary attributes, high physical strength and mana recovery, 2 hours of battery life, the bonus effect of A Song of Ice and Fire on the battle is extremely significant, which is right for Sherlock to pay for so long.
After unpacking and bottling all the remaining wines, a total of 216 bottles of A Song of Ice and Fire were obtained.
Referring to the same quality wine on the market, with the attributes of a song of ice and fire, it should be no problem to sell a bottle of 5,000 gold coins, and all of them can almost flatten the cost of research and development.
In the case of follow-up production, there will only be material and labor costs, and the profit should be okay.
Moreover, wine, especially good wine, as a daily consumable, has always been in great market demand.
Even many people don't care about attribute bonuses at all, just to satisfy the enjoyment of taste.
So, if Sherlock wanted to, he could actually make a fortune just by brewing a song of ice and fire.
It's just that there are so many interesting adventures waiting for him in this world, how could he be willing to stop in one place.
Now that his cooking skills have finally been promoted to the Grandmaster, and the prerequisites for the Book of Truth have been completed, he can finally discover the secrets of the book.
When I opened the Book of Truth, a line slowly emerged on the crumpled parchment.
2nd Career Progression Quest (Practitioner): Pass the test of the Book of Truth
As soon as Sherlock's mind moved, the singer between his fingers automatically made a quill pen.
What tests do I need to pass?
As soon as he wrote the last word, the Book of Truth shone with a white light that engulfed him.
The next moment, he found himself in total darkness.
And directly in front of him, in a gray-white mist, a picture slowly emerged.
Looking at the figures in the picture, it seems that a group of elves are fighting.
Then, the story unfolds, and Sherlock, who has done a detailed investigation of the history of the elves, soon discovers that it appears to be a scene from the First War of the Crowns.
More than 20,000 years ago, the elves migrated to the island of Eternal Gathering, and also occupied part of what would become the Lunaris Isles, and took the first steps towards what would become known as elven high magic.
This powerful arcane allowed the elves to compete with the dragons and for the first time in history, they were repelled.
With powerful magic and numerous alliances, the elves have built huge cities and powerful kingdoms.
But they don't know that the greatest threat comes from within their own people.
The spark that really angered the elves is unknown. All Sherlock can know today is the Crown War, which lasted for three thousand years, including all elven powers.
In this war, all kingdoms have fallen, and countless elves have senselessly consumed their lives in the war.
For using the power of the fallen gods, the elven goddess Ayushne (now Rose) was punished, and the black elves of Elisri were banished to the Dark Lands, where they became known as the Drow Elves.
Three thousand years of history passed in a flash, and with the end of the last Crown War, the elves gradually weakened, and humanity began to step onto the stage of Faeron.
Seven fishing villages on the shores of the Sword Coast have united to protect themselves and form the first nation of mankind, Nessreel.
They learned how to use magic from the elves, and after discovering the Ether Scrolls, which contained the mysteries of magic, a powerful magical empire arose.
Nessera was destined to become incredibly powerful, and it was destined to collapse with pride.
The Nethriel have started a protracted magical war with Felin Demon Aoi because of their misuse of magic.
Eventually, the genius Grand Arcanist Karthas tried to steal the power of the Goddess of Magic, causing the web to collapse, and all magic in the world was temporarily rendered ineffective.
Having lost the supply of mana, the city in the sky has fallen, and only three cities have landed safely with the help of the reborn goddess of magic, Mystra.
Since then, humanity's greatest empire has fallen, leaving only the ruins of Honkai and the magically created desert now known as Enoch.
The rest of history is the conflict between humans and elves.
Since the end of the War of the Crown, the Elven Kingdom that has been re-established in the Comanso Forest has been at odds with the human settlers in the surrounding valleys because of the ownership of the forest.
This kind of contradiction is not uncommon in various parts of the Faren Continent.
On the surface, they are fighting for the ownership of the forest, but in fact, it is two races fighting for dominance of the continent of Faerun.
At the time, many people thought that a large-scale war would break out between the two races sooner or later, but in the end, it took a turn due to the compromise of the Elven King Elta Grim at the time.
Together with the leaders of the Valley, he developed the Valley Pact between the elves of Comanso and the inhabitants of the valley, and erected a standing stone in the center of Comanso to symbolize the unity of the two races, humans and elves.
In return for a promise not to continue cutting down the Komanthor woodlands, the ancestors of the valley people received permission from the elves to settle on the edges of the forests where no giant trees grew.
The signing of the Entente of the Valley had an extremely far-reaching impact on the continent of Ferren at that time.
Since then, humans and elves have a code of laws where they can live in harmony.
Although, with the fall of the Elven King City and the withdrawal of the Elves to the Eternal Gathering Island, this pact is no longer valid.
However, the majority of Valians still adhere to the norms laid down in the Entente.
Tradition replaced the influence of the elven forces as the main driving force for compliance with the Entente, which is still effective in protecting the borders of Comanso today.
……
By the time the Vale Entente was signed, the replay of history was over.
The gray fog dissipated, and the Book of Truth finally gave the Practitioner a promotion task.
1. Stop the elves from splitting
2. Stop the fall of the Nether Empire
3. Promote the signing of the Valley Entente
There are three tasks in total, choose one of them, go back to the corresponding history, and complete the task by meeting the requirements.
Fortunately, it is judged by performance whether it is completed or not, otherwise it would be better to let him prevent the elves from splitting and preventing the fall of the Nether Empire, it would be better to directly judge him as a failure.
Theoretically, these three tasks are easier than the other.
The Valley Pact was signed smoothly in history, and even if there was an accident in the middle, it should not be out of the question.
It sounds difficult to prevent the fall of the Nether Empire, but from the perspective of latecomers, as long as you tell the Grand Arcanist Karthas, or other Grand Arcanists, about the danger of stealing magic power, stop the other party's arrogant behavior, and maintain the safety of the magic net, with the strong national power of the Nether Empire, there is a high probability that it will not be destroyed by Felin Demon Sunflower.
The most difficult of the three missions is to prevent the elves from splitting, because the Crown War is so far away that Sherlock has no idea what is causing the elven civil war, and he can't think of a way to eliminate the contradictions between the different elves.
Of course, the difficulty of the task does not mean that it is difficult to achieve the requirements.
On the contrary, the more difficult the task, the more room for expression, and the specific choice depends on each person's different ideas.
Sherlock thought for a long time, but finally chose the third task - to facilitate the signing of the Entente of the Vale.
