Stephen has been busy with mundane things for the past two days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He listened to Countess Elijah, and when it was decided to establish a Chamber of Commerce, the Countess would be in charge of the Chamber, not only for the task of making money, but also for assisting him in the acquisition of various resources. The progress of the winery is very fast, the Norrington family already has one, and the first batch of high-grade wine will be sold in about a week, this kind of soju may not be easy to sell in the south, but there is no need to worry about sales in the cold north. Basically all places where there is a high demand for high alcohol are cold climates, such as Maozi Maozi and Maozi.

The city of Winds is a place where the north and the south meet, and the trade routes are well developed, so it is convenient for Stephen to obtain basic materials from here.

..................

The old Earl of Sutton was fast.

Just as Stephen had finished the prototype of the Chamber of Commerce, the old earl had already arrived with a pile of boxes.

The official formation of the Chamber of Commerce still needs to wait for the arrival of some relatives of Countess Elija, whose family has good connections in the south and can quickly help the Chamber of Commerce to open up sales. It would take a month for Stephen to complete the Wizard's Tower, when the mines would provide him with a steady stream of silver, iron, lead, Mithril, and more.

"Your Excellency Stephen. ”

The old earl's complexion was worse than a few days ago, and he looked like an old man of seventy or eighty years old, he leaned over slightly and opened the box and said, "Everything you want is here." ”

300 pounds of silver, 100 pounds of gold.

After Stephen killed the Earl of Keaton, the old Earl Sutton was the first to occupy his mansion, and naturally made a lot of money in his private collection. But now all the money was in front of Stephen, and the old Earl of Sutton also took out a lot of gems from the family collection, and many of the more than twenty gems of good quality were directly deducted from the jewelry, and the weight of the diamonds also met Stephen's requirements. In order to make up for this kind of diamond, the old Earl Sutton even removed a diamond necklace left by his mother, after all, the Countess of Illya was also carrying one of the family heirlooms.

The gold bars are neatly placed in front of you.

Stephen picked up a gold bar and glanced at it and put it down, the silver basically didn't need to be looked at, there were not a lot of silver mines in Windy City.

There were twenty-two gems of different colors, rubies and topazes, five diamonds, two of which were of large weight and three of which were relatively small, and it could be seen that the old Earl of Sutton had spent a lot of effort to get enough of them. Finally, it was a sealed box, Stephen picked it up and sniffed it, and said softly, "Earth Dragon Species?"

"Not bad. Barely working. ”

Now that the materials are ready, Stephen clapped his hands and said, "Very good." Get ready to act. ”

"I need some strong-willed fighters to go in with me. At least I have the strength of a knight or above, and I can cover me when necessary. ”

Any caster needs cannon fodder.

Although Stephen is 90% sure that he can deal with evil spirits, it is obviously safer to act with cannon fodder.

..................

Golden Creek Manor.

In just a week or two, the once bustling manor was completely abandoned.

The servants were basically dead and fled, and the old Earl of Sutton secretly sent someone in to investigate, and it was a little better during the day, but it was full of ghosts at night, and only one of the five people went in and came out alive, and his spirit was already a little abnormal.

These days.

Roughly after the death of the Bernard steward, the vegetation in the manor grew wildly, mainly a plant called 'mandala'. Obviously, there are no mandalas planted in Jinxi Manor, but now they have grown everywhere, most of the original plants and trees have died and withered, and only clusters of mandalas have grown extremely vigorously and brightly.

Mandala is poisonous.

Although it is beautiful and enchanting, and it can also purify the air, the mandala is a poisonous plant, and it is a highly poisonous plant, it can also cause cancer, and the fragrance of the mandala flower has a hallucinogenic effect.

This plant is familiar to alchemists, as many potions use mandala flowers, and its hallucinogenic effects are popular on the underground black market.

- "Psionic Eyes!"

In Stephen's field of vision, the entire Golden Creek Manor was shrouded in a gray mist, the gray mist entangled everything, and a faint hint of dark red glimmer could be seen, and the black gas visible to the naked eye swirled in the manor, as if it was a distorted humanoid shadow.

This is not a spiritual sight.

Stephen had basically determined that there was no spirit world in this world, but another parasitic plane.

The pollen of the mandala has already permeated the interior of the manor, and the whole environment is enough to hallucinate, no wonder only one who enters comes out alive, and his mind is already abnormal.

"It looks like a little bit of preparation. ”

Stephen clapped his palms, took out a gold bar casually, and then said to the old Earl Sutton, who was a little panicked and very nervous behind him, "I need two apples." Now send someone to fetch it for me. ”

What?

Duckweed...... Apple?......

Hearing Stephen's words, the old Earl Sutton was obviously stunned for a moment, he thought that wizards needed all kinds of strange materials, such as human organs, exotic flowers and plants, rare ores, etc., but he never expected that what Stephen needed was an ordinary apple.

"Send for a basket of apples at once. Old Earl Sutton quickly instructed the man behind him.

Stephen walked around the manor, then set up the circle on the flat ground on the side, he took out a silver ingot and kneaded it in his hand, and soon the silver was as soft as mud, and he drew a six-pointed star circle on the ground with his toes, and then the silver was poured into the circle like a liquid. The old Earl of Sutton, who was standing behind him, watched in amazement, and the aboriginal knights accompanying him were also surprised, many of them were still seeing the mysterious wizard cast a spell for the first time.

Soon.

Someone brought the apple.

Stephen picked two red and big ones and put them in the center of the circle, and then took out a gold bar and drew his sword to cut it, and a small piece of gold was distributed in the six corners of the circle, and then an incredible scene appeared, in the faint white light, the gold automatically melted into a golden liquid and seeped into the inside of the circle, and then the apple placed in the center of the six-pointed star array gradually turned golden.

Eventually, an apple that looked pure gold was born.

Stephen picked up the apple and weighed it, he smiled with satisfaction and threw it to the knights next to him, who were cannon fodder to go in with him later.

"One person eats half. ”

Stephen sliced the apple open with his sword and continued, "Don't worry. This is my family's exclusive golden apple, a very powerful alchemy item. ”

A knight standing next to him hesitated for a moment, and then he took a bite of it, the taste was crispy, and his expression was happy after taking a bite, and he swallowed the kernel of the fruit three times and five divided by two, so that even the old Earl of Sutton next to him couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"This ...... Incredible!...... I feel full of energy now......" said the knight, who was the first to eat the golden apple, in surprise.

Stephen smiled and said seriously, "The duration of the golden apple is one hour. ”

"Now you go in with me. ”

The golden apple that has just been made is nothing more than a form, and the real golden apple has the magical power to make people gain infinite vitality.
