Chapter 105: Fishing for the Golden Ao
In the blink of an eye, summer went to autumn, and a few months passed.
As a result of being able to enter the Principality's library to read extensively, and to establish extensive contacts with the outside world, Shen Yan finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the world. He finally figured out what the wizarding world was like as it really was—it was supposed to be a world of micro-demons or even no demons!
The reason is that this kind of pre-medieval world was obviously in a feudal society, and there were all kinds of primitive beliefs in the society, and even a huge foundation of church organizations was established! The fact that there is such a deep soil, but no gods have been born, is proof of this!
Because magic is foreign, there are no demons in this world!
The cause was the phenomenon of the "Celestial Sphere Meeting" - a very early one that brought the elves. At that time, the world had no magic, and the elves conquered the primitive race with their "advanced" culture, and soon dominated the world and established a brilliant civilization;
Then came the new "Celestial Sphere Meeting", where humans came, and so did magic.
At that time, the elves had been in this world alone for thousands of years, and they had long since abandoned the "useless" old system. As a result, in the face of the impact of the human frenzy, elves and other subspecies collapsed at the touch of a button. The age of the elves is destroyed, and humans dominate the world. At that time, the gate of the world had long been destroyed, and the elves not only had no way to retreat, but they did not even have a history of their own. They don't know that they originate from another world, and they don't recognize the wizarding world elves who have lost their magical favor, don't have a long lifespan, and aren't graceful as their distant relatives.
After the wizarding world was "deeply polluted" by the high magic world due to the "Celestial Sphere Convergence", magic began to appear, and magical plants and powerful monsters appeared.
Warlocks who studied magic and demon hunters who hunted monsters for a living also appeared.
Unlike the real wizarding world, the magic power of the wizarding world is extremely unevenly distributed.
In the vicinity of the mana node (that is, the location of the hole in the crystal wall), the concentration of mana is close to the high magic world, and many "miracles" can be achieved, and even the curses issued by ordinary people can become reality; However, far away from the mana node, even famous warlocks have difficulty casting spells. Many mana nodes have been built by warlocks to collect mana, commonly known as "places of mana".
Warlocks in this world are known as "first-generation spellcasters" because of their primitive ways of using magic, over-reliance on talent (only those who are born with magic can become warlocks), and their rough use of natural magic, which is powerful but often out of control, and can easily go beyond their own boundaries and cause backlash.
The normal magical world should be like the swan world, gradually transitioning from the low magic to the high magic world, and in the process (usually thousands of years), the exploration and use of magic have been accumulated, forming a scientific and rigorous system.
But the wizarding world is a high devil from the beginning, which is equivalent to distributing bazookas to children in the kindergarten class, assault rifles to the small class, but the preparatory class does not even give box guns......
Can this not cause chaos in the world?
And the Demon Hunter was originally a fighter spawned by a warlock with a potion - in this era, no one has yet been able to see another layer of meaning for the existence of a Demon Hunter - the appearance of a Demon Hunter means that people who do not have innate magical powers can also cast spells.
As long as you continue to study along these lines, soon magic will no longer be the exclusive property of warlocks, and the world will enter the age of mages...... The warlock himself dug a pit to bury himself.
Shen Yan understood this meaning, but he didn't intend to stop it.

"We are friends!" Shen Yan looked at Duke Jared's eyes sincerely, and silently launched the [Suggestion Technique].
The light of emotion seeps into the hearts of each other!
"That's right, we're friends, haha......" Duke Jared said with some shame to cover up with a drink, "Actually, it's not difficult to solve the yellow spots on the grapevines, here's a trick...... You ask the question of the slightly sour taste of wine? Hahaha, my grandfather used to have this problem! He wrote it clearly in his notes! And then after my grandfather's improvement, it should be like this first, and then like this...... Well, yes, as far as I know, Halt definitely has those good bottles in his hands that you can try a few more times......"
It was not until dusk that the Duke of Jared refused Shen Yan's offer with great perseverance and left the Dover vineyard with a medicine to treat "infertility".
As soon as he walked out of the door, he suddenly came to his senses, and then he sweated like pulp, and slapped himself heavily on the forehead!
"O my Rebioda! What nonsense did I just talk about? Luckily, luckily...... Although he said a lot of confidential information that shouldn't be said, it's good that he didn't tell the recipe of Dongzhidong, otherwise he would have killed himself here! Forget it, just take it as an extra reward for Master Shen Yan's help, Master Shen Yan...... I don't think I'll tell it, right? ”
He wiped away the cold sweat, happily climbed into the carriage, and left Shen Yan's manor as if he had fled.
But I don't know what kind of East of East, Pomino, the formula has long been stolen by Shen Yan, or peeping, in his hands! The question he is asking now is actually the difficulties encountered in the process of imitating the wine, and it is better to ask the owner directly if he is right...... Moreover, nine out of ten of the nobles here are wine experts, and they are very proficient in both tasting and brewing, and talking to them about this can be regarded as a favorite, and it will definitely arouse the conversation.
For a few months, Shen Yan did not use infertility drugs to make money—it was enough to make money and have cosmetics—he used healing drugs to "make friends", and soon gained the friendship of many nobles.
In addition, Shen Yan's medicine has a good effect, and it is not like some gods, which must personally "open the light" to women in order to be effective, so it is highly praised.
In particular, Shen Yanti's requirements are not high, he only asks the guests to bring a few bottles of good red wine that "meets the identity" - if you have to stinky and shameless and ask the housekeeper to bring a few bottles of mid-range wine (also in line with the identity) to ask for medicine, Shen Yan will also give it, but he will not receive it in person.
This requirement was not only elegant but also appealed to the tastes of the Toussentes, so it was very popular, and he was able to collect almost all the varieties of red wine in a very short time. And the visitors always have to sit for a while and chat or something...... As the number of good wines in Shen Yan's hands increased, he did not hesitate to take them out to entertain the guests, and even the guests could choose the wine to taste by themselves...... This earned him a reputation for great hospitality.
Many nobles are not worried about heirs, and are still willing to come to the door to chat with elegant people like Shen Yan for wine tasting and chatting.
Besides, asking for a bottle of such medicine can be relieved at home - not worrying about the problem of the heir today does not mean that you will not be worried tomorrow, and you will be prepared.

They couldn't imagine Shen Yan's sinister intentions at all!
On the surface, Shen Yan was trying to help Lady Anna consolidate her power, and she sent extremely precious potions out in an almost "gift" way—and foreigners couldn't buy them even if they paid a high price!
This made the nobles of Touscent extremely proud, and behind their backs, they used this potion to exchange interests with foreign nobles to achieve softness, so that the atmosphere of "tonight we are all court factions, and everyone supports Lady Anna" is high.
The abundance of this political dividend is simply beyond imagination, and it is estimated that Anna Henrietta will not be able to use it until she dies.
However, the reality is that Shen Yan sat at home and didn't go out, so he quickly collected 200 kinds of top red wine from Taocente!
After carefully selecting the seven or eight kinds of sake that he personally likes very much, and the seven or eight that he brews that are really excellent, he steals the recipe one by one, and then tries to re-brew it himself...... If you don't understand something, it's easy to ask the wine experts, wine tasters, or the original owners who come to visit.
As for inviting these people to drink...... Hehe~
First of all, those wines that Shen Yan doesn't like must have a place to go, and there is no better way to deal with them than to invite guests to drink;
Secondly, those wines were also mixed with this batch of red wines imitated by Shen Yan...... After inviting the real owner of the red wine to taste, Shen Yan used [suggestion] to gain the favor of the other party, and then asked the other party in detail about his views and opinions on the imitation wine, so that he could go back and continue to improve.
Stealing someone's recipe! Brewed other people's wine! I also want people to taste it and put forward suggestions for improvement!
No one is worse than Shen Yan!
The only thing he had left was that the wine would not be sold in the world, and that it would only compete with the real owners for the market.
