Chapter 30: A Booming Business II

(The second update, please recommend!Thank you for your support!!More later!)

More than a dozen days had passed quickly, and Donald, who had been making a trip to the Boulder Mage Guild every other day, had already copied almost a fifth of the books in the library.

Although the collection of books in this library seems to be large, it is only a few hundred, far less than the number of thousands of books that are said to be in the mage tower of the Royal Capital Mage Association.

"In three to five months, I guess I'll be able to copy all the books in the library. At the beginning of this day, fifty bottles of moonshine wine were also prepared, and they should be sent to the mage in the club......house!

Donald calculated in his heart and went on the road with the moonshine wine made from the wine purchased by the butler for half a month.

After saying nothing all the way, when he arrived at the door of the clubhouse, Donald got out of the car and ordered the coachman to park the car in front of the door, and then entered the clubhouse himself and called three attendants, carefully unloaded the goods on the car, and moved them into the clubhouse.

During this time, Donald noticed that there were a lot more people around the clubhouse today than usual, and after quietly scanning around, he found that those people who were shopping, noble servants, shop guys, and other guys dressed up seemed to be so reasonable, but it was this reasonableness that made Donald feel strange, as if the existence of these people was arranged in advance.

"Wait!

Donald quickly understood why he felt that something was wrong, these people must be spies and eyeliners planted here by some forces. As for the goal, does that need to be said?

Just looking at the fact that although they have a very wide range of activities, they are all faintly centered on the mage club, and they know that they must be here for themselves.

Serter's most lucrative export was her top wine, and other large exports such as fur and timber were abundant, but they were far less profitable than wine.

At present, there are only two brands of Celt that can reach the level of the best wines, both in the hands of the royal family and the great nobles, and the emergence of a new wine with a taste that is not inferior to the first two will inevitably attract people's attention. Especially the aristocratic forces who are interested in it.

Donald thought that after the launch of Moonshine Wine, he would soon receive the attention of major powers, but he didn't expect that he hadn't launched it yet, and the other party would get the news so quickly.

But pay attention to it, Donald also planned to start the brand of moonshine wine, and now he has received a lot of attention before he acts, wouldn't it save him a lot of trouble!

So Donald didn't intend to hide it, and generously moved the four wine barrels into the clubhouse. This time, he didn't choose crystal bottles, which was not only troublesome, but also limited in the number of bottles. Last time, the butler Kede had already bought all the scattered wine bottles in the hands of merchants in Boulder City and Red Maple Town, but the crystal bottle was originally a slightly less valuable luxury, and only nobles and mages would use it, the former for spices and wine, and the latter for potions and materials. Civilians mostly used wooden barrels and clay jars to hold liquids. The alchemy of this world can be used to make crystals, but the cost is too high to reach the popularity of glass in the previous life, and only some mages or alchemists are short on money, so they will refine a batch of crystal products and sell them in exchange for some money.

So this time Donald simply brought four barrels of moonshine wine, half red and half white, and the amount was about the same as the previous bottle, and sold them to the clubhouse for a barrel of five hundred gold soles, and four barrels of two thousand gold soles, the same as the previous fifty bottles.

It was then distributed by the mages themselves, and soon the payment was in the hands of Donald.

After completing the deal, Donald found the mage Madri who was in charge of managing the storehouse of public materials.

This middle-aged mage is a second-level mage, originally a businessman, but the mage's talent is not high, and he saw that he could not be promoted to the next level before he was old, so he simply started his old business, relying on his merchant talent, on behalf of the club, he started a business with some merchants and nobles outside, and collected resources and materials for the mages.

He would store the knick-knacks that the mages had refined during their apprenticeships, or the failed works after the usual experiments, and sell them to merchants and nobles at a suitable price, earning a large amount of materials and gold soles for the clubhouse, supporting the research and cultivation of many mages.

This is also the source of the clubhouse's public property. What used to be a place for communication and gathering has now become a permanent base for mages.

Donald admired Madri, a merchant mage, and he said it to his face.

"Master Maddry, I have a business to do with the club!"

"Master don't dare to be, you better call me Master Madri, and I'll call you Master Donald!"

For this genius young noble mage, Madri didn't dare to show off his old qualifications at all, not to mention that he was also a formal mage now, and he couldn't slack off even if he was able to defeat the snow mage at the peak of black iron just when he was an apprentice. After all, the system of this world is still respected by the strong.

Donald understood Madri's attitude and spoke out his plan.

"Alright then, Master Maddry, I have an idea, these days I have been working on increasing the production of the Moonshine series of wines, so in addition to supplying the mages in the clubhouse, there are about twenty bottles or so, I think if these wines are sold to the outside world by you on behalf of the club, not only can these wines be exchanged for the materials needed by some other mages, but also avoid the trouble of being harassed by some people after the news spreads, what do you think of this idea?"

Madri was originally a businessman, so he naturally knew a little bit, and immediately said excitedly:

"What a genius Master Donald is, even if you were to be a merchant, you would definitely become the richest merchant in the kingdom. You don't know, these days there are always nobles and merchants coming to the clubhouse to inquire about the moonshine wine, and of course none of us mages have said your name. ”

"Those people didn't get a reply, but they were more concerned, and some even offered to buy a bottle of moonshine wine at a high price of three hundred gold soles, but you also know that the mages are not people who can sell their valued items for money, so this matter was rejected by a mouthful, and the nobles went back to talk about it, which caused a lot of discussions, and the nobles and merchants were even more eager for your moonshine wine!"

After listening to this, Donald said:

"Three hundred gold soles is ten times the price, but if we want to sell moonshine wine, we can't do it at this price. You see, the price I sell to the club is 40 gold soles, and the club can be sold to the outside world at a price of 50 gold soles, so that one bottle can earn 10 gold soles, and 20 bottles a month is 200 gold soles, and the output may increase in the future, which is a worthless business for the club!"

Master Madry was thrilled to hear this, but then he thought about Donald:

"Master Donald, you sold the wine to the clubhouse at a high cost and low price, and then gave up the opportunity to sell it to the outside world, so wouldn't you lose hundreds of gold soles in a month?"

Donald smiled and said:

"Compared to the help of the club and the mages, this is nothing, just a little contribution I have made to the club!

Madri listened to the admiration and immediately said:

"I'm going to convey your intentions, Master Donald, to Master Messer and all the mages, and I'm sure all the mages in the club will thank you for your contribution!"

"In this way, I will send someone to deliver the wine to the club early tomorrow morning, and I will trouble Master Madri to prepare more today!"

Madri patted his chest and reassured, "Don't worry! Although those nobles and merchants have a lot of power, no one dares to make trouble in the mage's guild!"

After saying goodbye to Maddry, Donald continued to work in the library to copy books.

A few hours later, all the forces in Boulder City got the news of the Mage Guild.

Previously, because of the undercurrent caused by moonshine wine, spies from various forces had already been instructed to guard near the mage's clubhouse, and when they saw a mage who brought goods and the like, they had to remember the other party's appearance.

However, before the various forces could deduce the identity of the owner of the moonshine wine based on the news brought back by the spies, they were caught off guard by the news made public by Master Madri.

The Mage Guild is about to sell Moonshine Wine publicly, which proves that the mage who researched the magic wine will be protected by the mages of the North County, and if you want to move the mage, you will be the enemy of all the mages in the North County.

This news is good news for some merchants who simply want to obtain the right to supply and sell, but it is a bit tricky for those who are interested in seizing the moonshine wine recipe and occupying the huge interests in it alone.

At this time, in the best inn in Boulder City, the luxurious courtyard for nobles where Donald once lived, a handsome man dressed as a nobleman was saying to a man in black who was half-kneeling below:

"This moonshine wine, we must get our hands on it. ”

"But the Giant Stone City Lord's ......," the man in black said in a questioning tone.

"Don't worry about Macbeth, he's just a soil emperor who can't even manage his own family, nominally the consul of the North County, but even within the scope of Boulder City, all he can fully control is the viscount and dependent territories, the near ones are the Barony of Red Maple, and the far ones are the Bloodstone Fortress and Shining Gold Town, all of which are places he can't get into. It's the mages here who are more difficult to deal with!"

"It's a big deal that we've all evacuated the Boulder City stronghold that we've been operating for years, and as long as we can get the potions and recipes to make this fine wine, it's all worth it. ”

The aristocratic man said confidently, and then his tone changed.

"The only thing to be afraid of is the meaning of the Celtic royal family, this fine wine can bring countless fortunes to Kinsol, and it is also the best weapon for them to open the door to the countries of the continent. Once we go late, my Majesty the King will probably not allow a share to leak out of the control of the royal family! After you have done this well, you can withdraw from the mission and return to China, and the credit you have made is enough for you to obtain a hereditary lord's title and fief, and then you will also be a real nobleman, and you can enjoy the rest of your life!"

There was an inexplicable temptation in the noble man's tone, and the man in black whispered excitedly, and then quietly exited the room. However, he didn't see the mocking smile on the corner of the aristocratic man's mouth behind him.

After confirming that the man in black had left, the noble man chuckled:

"It's all mine, as an intelligence officer of the kingdom, you know too much, but few have a chance to get a good death!"

At the same time, almost all of the few hidden locations in Boulder City were engaged in such conversations.

In a well-defended courtyard behind the Kinsol Auction House, an energetic old man looked at the stack of information in his hand and whispered to himself:

"The cost is lower than that of alchemy elixir, it doesn't matter if the effect is weak, the important thing is that the output can be hundreds of times more than that of alchemy elixir, and the taste can be comparable to the best wine, this moonshine wine is really not simple. The profits in this are enough to support the regular knights of a kingdom, and the old man who received my news last time was very interested, and this time he must have sent an envoy here!"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery:

"It's ridiculous that those guys still want to get the formula, and they don't look at the identity of the target, the identity of the hereditary knight is not to mention, just the genius who is most likely to become a silver mage in the future, or the rare summoner who is the best at defeating the strong with the weak, not only the northern county, but also the powerful old guys of the Kingdom Mage Association are afraid to protect this little guy, and their own strength is equivalent to a bronze-level professional, if someone really dares to act rashly, I am afraid that the entire northern county will be swept away by that group of angry senior mages, and when the time comes, I don't know how many of these fish in the troubled water will survive." ?”

After saying that, he sighed again.

"I'm old and don't have more than a few years to live, but the children in my family need to grow up. You have to get some shares before you have an order in the royal capital, and accumulate enough capital, otherwise the old man's health is getting worse day by day, maybe one day he will leave, the following two boys compete for that position, but it will cause a bloody storm, and when the time comes, if you don't stand in a good position, it will be the end of defeat, Andrew has a ruthless temperament, once he takes the position, he will inevitably cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I still prepare a retreat for Xiao Durui in advance!"
