Chapter 148: Membership, Cooperative Agent, Purchase
Not being able to immediately obtain the fifth-level membership certification of the Moon River Guild means that he is temporarily classified into the low-level mage level, which is somewhat different from Moriarty's previous assumptions. After a slight pause, Moriarty suddenly smiled, "Thank you, Lord Barton. The guild's constitution must be strictly adhered to, and I have no objection to your decision. ”
"Hehe, that's fine." Seeing that the other party accepted it reasonably, Barton also laughed knowingly.
To be honest, if Moriarty refused to "give in" temporarily and insisted on obtaining the fifth-level guild level immediately, Barton would probably still compromise in the end, after all, he couldn't drive away a rare alchemist for such a thing. But in this way, the mid-level mage's perception of Moriarty is bound to be much worse, after all, no one likes a completely self-centered "Diao Min".
"Your Excellency, it seems that the headquarters is very deserted." After all the formalities for member registration were processed, Moriarty was already an official member of Moon River, and continued to chat with the other party.
"yes. The number of native mages in Erathia is already small, and most of the members are scattered in the counties of the country, and only return to the royal capital at the beginning of each year to participate in the unified meeting of the guild. Barton nodded: "On weekdays, there will only be one mid-level mage left on duty at the headquarters to deal with some daily guild affairs. ”
"I see."
"Mage Moriarty, what are the areas you specialize in in the Earth Studio in Bracada?" After a few more casual conversations about the guild, Barton leaned forward lightly and asked. Obviously, this is the core content that mid-level mages really care about.
"My studio has only just been established, and the main product at the moment is alchemy potions." Moriarty smiled, then took a small box from his bosom and placed it in front of Barton.
"This is..."
At Moriarty's signal, the mid-level mage opened the small box, only to see that there were four potions of "Brute Force", "Healing", "Detoxification", and "Endurance Replenishment" placed side by side. Glancing at each other in some surprise, Barton took out the glass tubes containing the potions in the box one by one and examined them carefully, and after a while, he smiled at Moriarty with some surprise: "You can independently produce a complete set of adventurer's alchemy potion combinations, your studio is really excellent!" ”
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment." Moriarty nodded calmly, but once again took out a magic dagger from his space pocket and handed it to the other party: "In addition to potions, Earth Studio has also gradually begun to explore the field of magical equipment recently. ”
“… Magical equipment..."
Before the previous smile faded, the middle-level mage looked straight at the black dagger in his hand, and was stunned for a moment. If the appearance of the four alchemical potion sets just now had already overjoyed Barton, then the "magic equipment" that Moriarty mentioned next almost made the mid-level mages petrified in an instant.
With an incredulous expression, Barton jerked the piercing dagger out of its sheath, and immediately an invisible magic fluctuation touched the spiritual power of the mid-level mage like lightning. Without a pause, Barton stabbed the dagger in his hand directly at the oak desk in front of him. Like a hot dinner knife inserted into a fresh croissant, the magic dagger pierced the solid plank until it had no handle.
"Piercing!" As if touched by lightning, the mid-level mage suddenly stood up and said loudly.
"Yes, but it's just a one-star puncture. The effect of higher-level magic equipment is not yet in my studio's strength. Moriarty also stood up and explained.
"Mage Moriarty, you are a genius, a true genius of alchemy!" After taking a deep look at the alchemy potion suit on the table and the magic dagger with only the handle exposed, Barton hurriedly walked to Moriarty's side and grabbed the other party's hand: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that a first-level alchemist could achieve such amazing results in two alchemy realms at the same time. ”…,
"Thank you." Moriarty looked at the mid-level mage with a smile.
"Mage Moriarty, are you interested in selling the alchemy artifacts of the Earth Studio in Erathia?" Patton asked again and quickly, "If you give your permission, the guild can act as an agent for you for free." ”
Hearing this, Moriarty smiled again.
The so-called pro bono agent, on the surface, Moriarty can indeed easily extend his sales channels into the human kingdom. In this way, it can not only bring a large number of new customers and more profits to Earth Studios, but also facilitate the cultivation of a new independent market outside of Blue Crystal City, and avoid the unfavorable situation of being "choked" by the Blue Crystal City Lord Mansion or even Hockenheim College in the future.
However, it would be a mistake to think that Moriarty had taken advantage and Moon River had been a good man for nothing.
In the past, most of Erathia's imports of magical items from Bracada were through the caravans of major chambers of commerce or local nobles, and the price was high, and the quality was uneven and disorderly. Moreover, the alchemists of Bracada were generally arrogant and uninhibited, and rather disdained the communication of Erathia's "peers". Therefore, over the past hundred years, the Moon River Guild has tried several times to reach a cooperative alliance with certain alchemy studios, but it has not succeeded.
Now, once it can become a solid agent of Earth Studios in Erathia, it is equivalent to the guild has a key channel that can supply alchemical potions and magical equipment in a steady stream. The most thirsty and the most consumed of alchemical products were the powerful local nobles in the counties and the mean square of Erathia. Even if the guild doesn't earn even a single gold coin on the course of selling magic artifacts, the hidden benefits contained in it are considerable.
"I don't think there's a need for pro bono agents. If the guild really needs it, I can export a certain amount of alchemy potions and magic equipment to the guild every year, and the guild will sell it in Erathia. As for the agency fee, it will be deducted from the purchase price at 10% of the sale price, as a small contribution of me, a new member, to the Moon River Guild. Under the expectant gaze of the mid-level mage, Moriarty said slowly.
"Great! Thank you, Master Moriarty! Given a clear promise of cooperation, and a promise to contribute one-tenth of the price to the guild, Barton jumped to his feet in excitement.
"It's nothing." Moriarty waved his hand, stopping the middle-level mage's words of thanks, and at the same time pointed to the potion and dagger on the table: "As for these, I will give them to you as a meeting gift for my junior." ”
"Mage Moriarty, it's really..."At this moment, Barton really didn't know what to say, he just felt that everything the young mage in front of him said and did was so comfortable and pleasant. After sincerely thanking him, the mid-level mage put away the alchemy potion set and the piercing dagger.
"Lord Barton, I heard from Mage Johnson that there are spell scrolls and magic materials for sale in the guild as well. Can I take a look? The two sat back down, and Moriarty asked.
"Of course." Without any hesitation, Barton nodded, then took out a large booklet from the filing cabinet on one side and handed it to Moriarty: "This is the table of contents." ”
"Thank you." Moriarty took it and immediately flipped through it and began to read.
In the catalog, it is roughly divided into five categories: magic books, magic materials, magic items, spell scrolls, and other generals. However, apparently constrained by the regression of Erathia's native magical civilization, there are not many items for sale marked on the pages "Books", "Materials", and "Items", and most of them are easily available in Bracada. …,
When he reached the "Spell Scroll" page, Moriarty's eyes suddenly lit up, and after a few glances, he turned to the "General" page, and after a pause, the mage put the table of contents back on his desk.
"Is there anything you need to buy?" To be honest, Barton didn't think that an alchemist with a deep background in the "Mage Country" would look down on the items sold by the Moon River Guild, just as a large chamber of commerce didn't necessarily need to buy from a small trader. It's just that mid-level mages who don't have a deep understanding of the strict Bracada house system can't know how to know, and in an academy like Hockenheim, sometimes even if you have money and connections, you can't buy all the magic items you want, especially some magic scrolls.
"Yes, I'd like to purchase a copy of each of the 'Wall of Fire' and the 'Blindness' spell learning scroll." Moriarty gestured to the details on the Spell Scroll page.
"The second-level fire spells 'Wall of Fire' and 'Blindness'." Barton was slightly stunned, and according to the note on the side of the catalog, it was clearly stated that only guild members above level five were eligible to apply for these two kinds of scrolls, but...
"Okay, on behalf of the guild, I agree to sell you these two second-level spell learning scrolls." After only a slight hesitation, the mid-level mage agreed. After all, neither public nor private Barton had the courage to refuse, nor could he refuse.
"Thank you." After thanking the mid-level mage with a smile, Moriarty turned the back page of the booklet, pointed to a certain column on the "comprehensive page" and said, "Also, I want to see the actual object of this item." ”
"This?" The mid-level mage looked at Moriarty's fingertips, then nodded abruptly and stood up, "Yes, please follow me." ”
