Chapter 29: The Alchemy Workshop

The bazaar of Port Sevit is sparsely populated at this moment.

There are fishmongers who sell fish, fruit growers who sell fruit, and grocers who sell everything, but the only thing missing is customers. Occasionally, two or three people would visit the place, and after asking about the price, they would shake their heads and walk away, and often an hour had passed, and there was not a single order in the books of the market manager.

This is not a place for ordinary citizens to buy groceries, but a distribution center for the bulk commodity trade in the colony, and the goods traded are often counted in wooden boxes half a person high. Affected by the War of Succession on the other side of the sea, the economy of Port Servit fell to a historic bottom.

Whoever sits on that damn throne will be fine, and the people who live here can only hope that this stupid war will end sooner rather than later.

As usual, Grevine was lying on the wooden table and snoring.

The sign of the Golden Lizard Comptoir hung above his head, and it looked like it had not been scrubbed for a long time. In front of the stall lay a few open wooden crates, containing either cotton or crocodile skins, as well as twine, grain, salt, and the like, all samples of the goods.

Knock Knock –

Awakened by the sound of knuckles hitting the wooden table, Grevine bounced off the wooden table, reaching out and rubbing his eyes that hadn't yet opened, muttering with a suppressed yawn.

"Hello, do you need to come some...... Du Wei? ”

"That's right, it's me," Du Wei smiled at the surprised fellow countryman and threw the list in his hand on the wooden table, "How is business lately?" ”

"Which pot doesn't mention which pot to open," Glaven pursed his lips, took the list from his hand, and glanced twice, "This is for the Governor's Palace?" Is the Treasurer's Office now responsible for the purchase of supplies from the Governor's Palace? ”

"The Doge's Palace? Of course not," Du Wei shook his head with a smile, cleared his throat, and continued, "Your client is Venerable Wizard. ”

"Wizard, wizard? Could it be the ...... who lives at the northern end of the island and is feared even by half-elves" Glaven was sleepy, his eyes widened as he looked at Dewey standing in front of him, "Don't lie to me, how could a wizard need these things. ”

He couldn't figure out how his fellow countryman had anything to do with the wizard.

"There's no need for me to lie to you, you just need to go to the Doge's Palace to prove that what I say is true. The wizard seems to have a good relationship with the baron, it seems to have something to do with some experiment, and I'm working for him anyway. ”

The letter glanced at Du Wei suspiciously, rubbed his big nose that was red by his arm, Grevine took the list from Du Wei's hand, squinted his eyes and examined them one by one, and began to take this matter seriously, "Cotton? It's good to say, the warehouses of the entire colony are full of that stuff. Hemp rope, stone...... Magic Crystal? Are wizards interested in this thing? ”

Placing the list on the table, Glavin looked at Dewey.

"The goods are all right, and they will be delivered to the port early tomorrow morning. Are you paying now? Or pay a down payment first......"

"There is no deposit, and the Governor's House will guarantee the deal. Or do you think that the Venerable Wizard will waste his time teasing you as an ordinary person? Du Wei raised his chin and a smug smile hung on his lips.

However, this expression made his fellow villagers pout.

Say as if you're not an ordinary person.

Muttering in his heart, Glawin took a quill, dipped it in ink, scribbled lines on a piece of straw paper, and then picked up the seal of the Golden Lizard Merchant House and pressed it on the signature at the place where the payment was made.

"The goods will be delivered back to the warehouse at the port tomorrow, all at the lowest price in the market. Take this order to the port warehouse to pay for the goods, you have worked in the Governor's Palace for so many years, I believe that these things should not need me to teach you. ”

"Of course," Du Wei said with a smile as he put the order into his pocket, "and finally, I hope you will take this business seriously, after all, ......"

"I know." Glavin waved his hand impatiently.

Of course he knows that the popular proverb in the Aditya continent -

"It is better to offend the king than to offend the sorcerer."

……

Purchasing supplies, this was the first task that Jiang Feng gave to Du Wei.

Working for a wizard is far more promising than working in the Governor's Palace.

After all, the latter's reward is only money and a promise of promotion that will not be fulfilled at any time, while the former can not only get a more generous material reward, but also have the opportunity to be appreciated by the wizard.

Who doesn't dream of becoming a wizard who calls the wind and rain?

It was something that even the king had to be in awe.

Even if you don't have the opportunity to be accepted as an apprentice by a wizard, you can get something from a wizard casually, and you can pass it on as a family heirloom.

When Baron Fred asked him for his opinion, Du Wei took on the new job with little hesitation. When he got the list from Jiang Feng's hand, he didn't stop for a quarter of an hour, and immediately got up and went to the market in Port Said.

As for Jiang Feng, after signing an employment contract with Du Wei, he took Xiaobai to the south of Port Sevit.

According to Baron Fred, alchemy products are sold in the atelier here, but most of them are made by apprentice-level alchemists, and few can be seen in the works of apprentices and junior alchemists. As for the alchemy products above the intermediate level, they can only be seen in places like the royal capital of the Rick Kingdom, and even if they do, they will not appear in such a remote colony.

As for the enchanted products from the hands of wizards, they are things that you can't even think about, you can't buy them.

After all, enchanted products made by wizards are difficult to estimate in terms of worldly value. Even the handiwork of an apprentice wizard can cause merchants and nobles to rob like crazy.

The reason why Jiang Feng appeared here was naturally to solve the problem of money.

Both sugar and coffee are still in the breeding stage, and when the first crops are harvested, I am afraid we will have to wait until next year. Although Baron Fred would be happy to offer him a sizable loan as long as Jiang Feng was willing to speak, he didn't want to owe this favor for this little thing.

【Ash House Alchemy Workshop】

Under the wooden board, Jiang Feng saw the logo of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.

This place was recommended to him by Baron Fred, an alchemy workshop run by the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, and occasionally alchemical products from the Kadiren Empire were brought here along the shipping route. The reason for the existence of this kind of store is not only to sell alchemy products, but also to buy alchemy products from alchemists, adventurers, and mercenaries.
