Chapter 8 Both Fish and Bear's Paws

A notice was posted on the Alchemy Guild's bulletin board:

From now on, all members must master the art of enchantment, and the guild will give corresponding rewards according to the proficiency level.

In the conference room, the leaders of the Alchemy Guild were meeting.

"Xiao Yang, tell a few directors about our plans." Norton spoke first as president.

"Uncles," Yang Jian nodded.

"At present, our group holds more than 20 fire cards, and the current price of fire cards has risen to about 500,000 each."

"Heh", the spirits of the people at the venue were lifted.

"However, we won't be selling any of them just yet." Yang Jian was tepid.

"Heh", there was a commotion in the venue.

"Our plan is to sell it when we get to more than five million." Yang Jian glanced at the venue.

"You're missing out on a business opportunity!" One director said angrily.

"Lawless boy!" Another director said even more angrily.

"You rely on the support of the president, and don't take us elders seriously!" Another director told the truth.

"In fact", Yang Jian's face did not change, word by word, "You have been expelled!" ”

"President, I protest! You can't watch the guild fall into the hands of this kid! ”

The last director stared pitifully at Norton, trying to make a last-ditch effort.

"What Jian Yang means is what I mean," Norton said indifferently.

"You're out!".

After sending away the old antiques of the guild, there were only three people left in the huge conference room.

"What kind of help does the Adventurers' Alliance need?" Martial artist Hans asked.

"All adventurers must gradually master the four skills of alchemy, enchantment, puppetry, and disintegration," says Norton.

"Enchant it first," Yang Jian proposed.

After receiving the affirmation of the other two, Yang Jian continued.

"I think the city in the sky is a place with high concealment, which is very important for development and hiding the strength of our group, and we should consider buying this land after the fire card makes a profit."

"The people of the Magic Guild want to swallow it in one bite."

Norton said indignantly.

"Then make plans and fight the battle of the fire card first."

The Alchemist Guild concentrated all its financial resources in just a few days and ate all the fire cards at a high price.

A few weeks later, news came from the northern frontier of the empire that the plague had spread throughout the Northmar region, and that there were signs of a large-scale outbreak.

At the same time, Belmar officially issued a bounty order: adventurers who find the source of the plague will be rewarded with tens of millions of knighthoods.

Adventurers, consortia flock to the Northmar region.

In the area around the northern town of Lethephine, many tents have been erected here, and there are even some watchtowers.

An adventurer stood at the entrance to the village of Lethephine, hesitating to rush in and take a look.

At this time, some people came out of the village, and they all looked like they were wearing colors.

Seeing this, the adventurer hurriedly asked, "Brothers, what's going on inside?" ”

A strong man with a magic weapon in his hand, who seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, spit out a word with a snort: "fire".

"You're annoyed?" The adventurer was puzzled.

"I said I'm going to set his grandmother on fire!" The strong man couldn't help but burst into foul language.

In less than a week, the price of the fire card at the Huttonmar auction house exceeded five million, which was originally used for gambling between the rich, but now it has suddenly become a necessity for adventurers to enter and exit Lenserphine, so the price has doubled all the way, but there is still no market.

The Alchemists' Guild launched fire card sales and weapon enchantment services in a timely manner, and the threshold was about to be broken for a while.

There were many people standing at the entrance of the Alchemy Guild, some holding slogans and signs asking for fire cards, and some of them were planning to stay here permanently.

Soon after, a carriage with the royal coat of arms stopped at the gate of the guild, and out of it came a richly dressed royal envoy.

"Mr. President, on behalf of the Belmar royal family, I hope to cooperate with you."

He looked at Norton with a sincere gaze.

"What kind of cooperation is it?" Norton was interested.

"The Belmar royal family will designate the Alchemy Guild as the sole provider of the Fire Card."

The envoy suddenly raised his voice.

"In return, a quarter of the tax revenue of the treasury for the year will be gradually paid to your guilds."

"In addition to providing fire cards, the guild is also responsible for enchanting weapons."

"No problem", how can the duck fly when it arrives, Norton agreed.
