Chapter 292: Potions Broker
"My Abomination Corps and Slave Corps are currently in need of a large amount of armor and weapons, and if your craft is passed, I will hire you for a salary of one hundred gold coins per month. ”
Downton's words are also showing strength, there is no shortage of bastards anywhere on this shijie, if a minotaur dares to make trouble, he doesn't mind killing people.
The orcs didn't even hear the subtext of him, for they were all stunned by the high salary.
"A hundred gold coins, are you sure?"
The leader was excited, and subconsciously grabbed Downton's arm, if he could get this salary, the family would definitely be able to live a happy life.
"Of course, if you exceed the forging task, you will also get a bonus. Downton agreed, complimenting the chief, "You seem to have been their head before, so you will be in charge of my blacksmith's workshop." ”
"I'm going to do a good job. The chief hastened to reassure.
Xia Luo looked at the orcs who had deliberately kept their distance from Downton just now and now became eager to cling to him immediately, and couldn't help but chuckle, this young man's mind is really terrifying, once he decides to win you over, that kind of affinity will definitely make you unstoppable.
"Later, my butler Abagun will arrange for you to move, please don't look down on him if he is a goblin!" Downton solemnly warned, his expression became serious, "Whether it is an orc, a goblin, or an ogre, I will treat you equally, if I see racial discrimination, don't blame me for expelling you!"
"Don't worry, it won't!"
The leader immediately took the lead in making a guarantee, and the other orcs nodded, and at the same time, they were relieved that Downton could accept even the dirty and lowly hill natives, so he was higher than them, of course, no problem.
"The master is really cunning. I'm using Bian's heart again. Homer admired that ogres have no writing, they can't do anything but rob and kill, civilization is at the bottom, and the social civilization of orcs is much higher than them.
This sense of racial superiority is hidden in your bones, and when you see that an indigenous can also live well. You must be confident that you are better off because you instinctively feel that you are better than him and that you deserve more salary.
Solved the orc problem, left Xia Luo for the time being, so that Downton was in a good mood and went to the backyard to find Abagon.
"Master, I see what you mean, don't worry, I'll squeeze out all their value. Abagon nodded. Write in the little book, "Barak, take advantage of it, and I'll let the orcs spread your reputation for fraternity and kindness throughout the Sunset Prairie." ”
"Wait, this is a bit difficult, I'm a human after all, there is a natural gap between the two sides, you might as well do your best to build Xia Luo's reputation, she happens to be a wolf witch or a shaman. You could say that she is the embodiment of the harvest god Virtuous Wolf, and I am sure that the poor orcs who sell their sons and daughters will come to cling to her. ”
Downton asked Homer to go down the soundproof barrier. Discuss with Abagun what to do with the orcs, "As long as they live in the west and live a little richer, they will definitely not leave." ”
"But the Duke of the Westlands won't let them live in Redwoods. Abagon vetoed, "And the bears certainly don't want to see their vassals flee with their families." ”
"It's up to them? Hmph, any shijie. The right to speak is always snatched by strong force, as long as there are enough orcs, I can form a foreign army, and even if Placido is dissatisfied, I have to endure it. ”
Downton shook his fist. There was a hint of fanaticism on Abagon's face, and he felt that his master was so domineering.
"That's right, sharp blades, strong legions, and the will not to fear sacrifice are the foundation of your foothold. Homer praised, "The huge orc town also represents a rich source of taxes and soldiers. ”
"With Xia Luo's character, she will definitely stay and take care of those orcs. Downton smiled, and that would give her more chances to meet her.
"Can you not look like a stupid person in love?"
"The financial matters will be left to you, no matter what the requirements, I will try my best to meet you. ”
"Master, Abagun swears to be loyal to you!" Abagun knelt down and kissed Downton's boots, the other party's unconditional trust made a warmth flow through his chest.
Since the end of the Goblin Age, no human on this continent has ever valued a goblin so much!
"Princess, let me be your personal bodyguard, right?"
"How many times have you said it, stop calling me princess. Elaine pushed open the door, "Brother, there are so many people, futons and other things must be prepared as soon as possible, I know where to buy cheap." ”
"Alright, second master!"
Johnson followed Elaine, licking his face and recommending himself, he was more discerning, knowing that only by serving her well could he get Downton's attention and improve his status.
Abagun hurriedly left his seat and bowed to Elaine.
"There's no need to do that, I'm just a normal person. Elaine was cramped and shook her hand to stop the goblins.
"I've said it many times, but unfortunately they won't listen. Downton took out a handful of golden tickets and handed them to Elaine, "I'll leave the details to Abagon, if you have any ideas, you can discuss with him, give, these are pocket money." ”
With Downton's intelligence, how could he not see that Elaine was worried that Abagun would not be able to do a good job.
"Why don't I accompany you to the Royal Apothecary Society tomorrow?" Elaine suggested that a goblin be in charge of more than three million dollars, and if she said it, her brother would definitely be regarded as a madman, so she had to personally confirm whether Abagun had this ability.
"I'm not a child? Is it possible to throw it away? It's just right, you and Elaine and Hu Tao go shopping, buy whatever you like, don't treat yourself badly. Downton got up, "I'll just go to the Pharmacists Guild myself." ”
"Okay, be careful. Elaine took the golden ticket, and after counting it, she couldn't help but glance at Downton, "One million pocket money, aren't you afraid that I will spend it in one day?"
"Ask me when I'm done. Downton walked out of the door and patted Johnson next to him, "Bring the best twenty ogres to protect them, if something goes wrong, I will crush your soul." ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Johnson saluted.
There are many pharmacist associations in the Western Continent, but the most formal, authoritative, and longest-standing is undoubtedly the Royal Apothecary Guild, which was founded 10,000 years ago by more than 100 of the top pharmacists in the nine empires.
With the support of these powerful empires, its influence and shili are naturally the greatest, and the pharmacists of those small countries can only follow the industry standards it has set, if they are unwilling.
The Royal Apothecary Guild has swelled to the extreme, but it is not enough to compete with mysterious organizations like the Brotherhood, the Council of Magic, or even Assassin's Creed, as it is full of factions.
Different from the cultivation of magicians, if a pharmacist wants to become a great potions master, or even a generation of grandmasters, the resources required are too huge, and they have to rely on the financial resources of the empire.
The different nationalities of the pharmacists naturally represent the interests of different empires, and under the open and secret fighting, internal friction has led to the strength of the association has been at a low ebb.
At 72 Raphael Street, where the association lives in the Bertford branch, Downton had just stepped into the hall when more than thirty eyes immediately turned to him.
"May I ask who you are?" a hostess ran as fast as she could, not disdained by Downton's shabby clothing, for those who dared to enter here must have a connection with potions, a word that inherently means wealth and shili.
"I'm here to get my pharmacist qualification. ”
As soon as Downton's words came out, the smile on the hostess's face immediately increased, and the eyes of those next to her became more earnest, and even a potions master couldn't wait to come over and talk.
"Hello, I'm Medel, what's your name, and if you don't understand any details about the assessment, you can ask me. "This is a man in his thirties, with a long face, small eyes, and a somewhat ugly appearance, but his attitude is very affectionate.
"Medel, this guy is talking to a Potions apprentice again, and he doesn't have any self-esteem as a mid-level Potions Master. ”
"Come on, if he hadn't gone fast, I'm sure you'd have run over. ”
"I don't know what the apprentice's level is, but looking at his clothes, it seems that the teacher's situation is not very good? ”
"Or maybe it's an unpopular apprentice, or maybe it's a student?"
The people in the hall whispered, and the apprentices who had also come to register for the exam also looked at Downton's competitor with vigilance, and beside them, there were one or two men standing, talking to them incessantly.
"I'm Downton. Downton nodded, in a good mood, sure enough, potions masters don't judge people by their appearance.
In the potions world, except for the talents cultivated by the big families, most of the apprentices are poor, because this profession is too expensive, but as long as you succeed in learning, you can wait to lie in bed and collect money in the future, those perfect level potions, one bottle can sell for millions of gold coins.
"Are you a student, or an apprentice?" Medel put his arm around Downton's shoulders affectionately, walked to the front desk, and instructed the hostess, "Go, give me the form, and I'll help our future Grand Potions Master fill it out." ”
There are generally two sources of Potions apprentices, one is the apprentice who follows the Potions Master, this kind has no freedom, and almost all of them have signed a deed of sale, but as long as they are not too selfish and cheating people, and they are not too stupid, they can always learn something.
There is also the type of student, which is generally exposed to Potions in school classes.
Downtrodden enough to go to school to teach and earn that fixed salary, the level of potions teachers can be imagined, so most of the students they teach are not talented.
Of course, students who have the courage to step into the hall of the association, as long as they are not arrogant, may not be badly qualified.
Medel's group is here to sign this kind of gifted student, and to fund them, as long as one of them shows his talent within a few years, whether it is to sell him to those great potions masters, or to collect the student's contract breaking fee, it is enough to make them a lot of money.
