Chapter 259: Dissension
"What can I do?"
Alan asked after pondering for a moment.
"Suggest to Horanced that the ancient city of Oku-gu is responsible for dealing with the orcs going south, and Yuss is free to deal with the Holy See in the north, and we will build a great cause together. β
Seeing that Alan's attitude relaxed, Reinhardt's eyes shone with excitement.
"This..."
Alan hesitated, it is said that both the Holy See and the orcs were the murderers who caused the tragedy of the Godsa, but if you really want to talk about it, the orcs are the culprits, the shame of the Godsas came from letting the orcs enter the customs, and now if you want to clear the charge of the traitor who has been hanging over you, there is no doubt that resisting the orcs going south is the best way. But the question is, will Ogu agree to come down? Resisting the orcs is of great value to the ancient city of Aogu-cheng, except for the name of the Gothians who have been almost ignored by the history books, even if the orcs are driven back to Hulamur Pass, then the sunset grassland left by the orcs retreat is not suitable for the Gosas to reproduce, and the orcs with Hulamur's natural danger may come back at any time, and the nomads who have been wandering on the steppe for hundreds of years have already told the world this truth, it is impossible for Horanst not to know this, as a political figure who has been trying to revive the Godsa, what he is pursuing cannot be just fame, what he wants is more practical benefitsγ
"I'm going to think about it. β
After some hesitation, Alan finally gave a less certain answer.
"Your Excellency Mage has been in Boulder City for many years and has been trained by the Academy of Magic, and I believe you have feelings for Yus. And now that you are working for the Ogu family, Yus and Ogu will benefit both and lose if they are divided, and I hope that you can think it through and be able to mediate. β
Perhaps he was mentally prepared, so Reinhardt understood Allen's hesitation, and finally emphasized the importance of Allen's attitude again before he left.
"Your Excellency Earl, go slowly!"
Alan sent Reinhardt outside the gate, Reinhardt got into the carriage under the protection of his entourage, and before parting, he opened the curtain and waved goodbye to Alan, but after putting down the curtain, his face immediately turned cold, and his handsome face trembled slightly, revealing a sly smile. On the surface, he came here to promote the cooperation between Yus and Agu through Allen, but the real purpose was to drive a wedge between Hollanster and Allen, so as long as Allen could express to Hollanster that he wanted to promote the cooperation between the two sides, the goal would be achieved, and judging from Allen's performance just now, he was obviously a little moved.
"Brother-in-law, are you really going to suggest to Hollanster that Yus and Ogu join forces?"
On the way back, Steven asked Allen.
"The strategy that Hollanster revealed to me was to take advantage of the chaos in the confrontation between Juss and the Holy See, and the advice Reinhardt gave me today was to unite with Yuss and Agu to resist the Holy See in the south and the orcs in the north. There is no doubt that Reinhardt's proposal is attractive to us, and if there is no shortcut, it is undoubtedly best to unite as many allies as possible against the enemy. So, I wanted to give it a try. β
After sending Reinhardt away, Alan had been thinking about this question repeatedly in his head, and now as soon as Steven asked, he directly said his thoughts.
"Brother-in-law, I always feel that Reinhardt's purpose will not be so simple, and you had better not rush to persuade Lord Ogu. β
Steven said with some concern that he had been with Reinhardt before Allen came back, and Reinhardt had been testing his tone at that time, as if he wanted to determine Allen's attitude towards the Holy See and his determination to confront the Holy See.
"Don't worry, I'll find a suitable opportunity to bring this up. β
Alan nodded, he also understood that this matter should not be rushed, especially if his archmage position was not hot enough to persuade Horantst to change his strategy, he was afraid that he would die.
"Lord Kanter, Lord Borg has been waiting for you in the study for a while. β
The butler came over and said. By the time Allen spoke to Reinhardt, Kevin Borg had arrived.
"Kevin, thank you for your hard work, and I called you so late. β
Seeing Alan, Kevin wanted to stand up and salute, but Alan pushed him back into his chair and pulled a chair himself and sat across from him.
"It's not hard. I've been busy with the reopening of the store for some time, and I've had a lot of problems, and I'm waiting for you to come back and report back to you. β
"I'll tell you later, I have an important matter that you need to do right away. β
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that Eren was serious, Kevin realized that the matter was probably not trivial.
"I need you to refine a batch of potions to strengthen the human body, just like the one I gave to Lady Ogu in the first place. β
"Brother-in-law, what do you want these potions for? They are of no great use to ordinary people, only to those who are congenitally weak or disabled. β
All the potions given to Mrs. Ogu passed through Steven's hands, and he knew best, so Alan mentioned it, and without waiting for Kevin to answer, Steven reacted first.
Alan immediately explained the problems encountered in the mercenary group to the two people, and finally he asked:
"Are there any difficulties?"
"Yes, and it's a big difficulty. β
After listening to Steven's explanation, Kevin already understood what kind of potion Eren wanted, so he shook his head and said in embarrassment.
"What difficulty?"
Alan frowned, this was not good news.
"Although the refining process of this agent is very complicated, it can be done with our current technology, but the problem is the raw materials. The refining of this elf wood consumes a lot of elf wood, hundreds of times that of ordinary healing potions, if all the elf forest wood we store is used to extract this potion, I am afraid that it will be exhausted if we don't extract a few pieces, and it is not enough for the recruits of the mercenary group to use. And since the one-sided war, the flowers and trees in the Elven Forest have been difficult to obtain, and if they want to obtain them through acquisition, they cannot be raised in a short time, not to mention that the Hepburn family is also buying plants in the Elven Forest at a high price. β
Kevin is familiar with the business of the pharmaceutical factory, including the process and materials used for each type of pharmaceutical extraction.
"It turned out to be a problem with raw materials, but I should be able to solve it. β
Alan's furrowed brow furrowed.
"Alan, are you sure? The ingredients of this potion are different from other potions, and must be wood from the Elven Forest. β
"Kevin, when did my brother-in-law say something big, he said that if he can solve it, he will definitely solve it. β
Kevin didn't know Alan's status in the Elven Forest, but Steven knew very well that Alan could even get the Life Fountain from the Elven Forest, and what else could he not get.
"That's good. At least it won't delay our normal pharmacy business. β
Kevin was also relieved, he was a little worried that Alan would use the entire business of the Potion Factory to satisfy the mercenary group, so that they would not even have a single profit.
"By the way, Kevin, you just said that our potion business is in some trouble?"
"It's not a big problem, but it's a bit of a loss. β
"Losses?"
