Chapter Forty-Eight: The Beginning of the Name (II)
Just as he was thinking nonsense, several people walked in from the outside with a smile, and as soon as he entered the door, one of them said loudly: "Luo Meng, the new potion from last time really works, is there any more?" I want ten bottles!"
It was the adventurer who was the first to get the free potion, and as he spoke, he came to Romon and rolled up his sleeve, revealing a shallow scar on his arm.
"That medicine works, it's much better than the medicine I bought from you last time, and thanks to it, my wound heals faster. ”
"Really? That's great. Romon smiled.
As if an appointment had been made, on the same day, seven or eight people who had taken the new potion came to buy it after using it. And those who have not used it are also introduced by their companions, and they quickly know the good effects of this new medicine.
"It's really better than that potion. The adventurers said after using it. All of a sudden, adventurers came to buy the medicine.
And the Romon Pharmacy, which had been neglected for a long time, was also revitalized by the popularity of this new drug.
Romon's new potion was well received by many adventurers. This month, as Romon continues to sell new potions, his pharmacy has reached the point of making money.
Those silver coins that kept piling up in his space kept increasing, so that every time he went to check the space, he couldn't help but take a look.
However, he was not carried away by money, but still fulfilled his original idea.
Before the pharmacy opened, he had already thought about the distribution of profits in the future, according to his idea, the net profit of the pharmacy every month was 20% to Nick, 20% to Fafel, and the rest was his income.
After all, as the manager of the pharmacy, Nick has always worked very hard, and he is very responsible for his work.
Although Fafer did not come many times, he and Romon were brothers who had experienced the battle of life and death, and at this time Fafer needed money, so it was necessary to give him 20% of the income.
And when Nick first heard that he could actually get a share of 20% of the profits, he was shocked and overjoyed.
After all, in Rika Town, no one is really rich except for those nobles. A sum of money may be able to change a person's fate. So, sometimes, money is really important.
Nick is not a hypocritical person, after knowing that Romon actually gave him such a high salary, he did not shirk it, but devoted himself to his work with a hundred times more enthusiasm.
Since becoming the manager of the pharmacy store, he has a lot of silver coins to take home every month, and there is also a 20% profit share, so the situation of the Nick family has improved greatly, the house has been repaired, and the savings are also available.
Nick even spent his own money to buy a lot of arithmetic books and read them in his spare time. Speaking of which, it must be mentioned that unlike the earth, in this world, any book is very expensive.
Knowledge represents wealth. The hardships and costs that a child from a poor family has to pay if he wants to read and write are unimaginable for a child from an aristocratic family.
And the price of a book is almost the same as the price of a sheep. And a sheep, in the eyes of ordinary farmers, is a great wealth.
No one would spend so much money on books when they are so poor that they have to worry about every meal. Therefore, most of the children of poor families are illiterate. Even if you learn something from others, it's pitiful.
And Romon really had a good harvest in the thieves' guild last time, not only getting a lot of coins, but also some books collected by the thieves.
Those books, all kinds of books, all kinds of them. Even the most expensive magic books have been found in the hands of the Thieves' Guild, although they are only the most basic entry-level books, but they are also difficult for ordinary people to buy.
In addition, Romon has made a lot of money recently, so he bought some simple books on the law and financial arithmetic and put them in the store.
Everyone in the store can read the books for free.
Although Nick had known some words and barely read a few Torah books, he didn't know a lot of things when he didn't have enough knowledge.
This also caused him to fail in several confrontations with tax officials. In order to make Romon's pharmacy run better, as the store manager, Nick felt the lack of knowledge, so since reading books was put in the store, he began to study voraciously. Books on finance, on the other hand, were lacking in the store, so he spent a lot of money to buy them for study.
And because of the spoils of war obtained from the thieves, Fafer's life has also improved a lot recently, and he has begun to have the money to learn martial arts. And he, who has always dreamed of becoming a powerful warrior, has been practicing even in the coldest winter.
Romon would often practice with him in his free time in a forest clearing. However, even Romon had to admit that in the practice of martial arts, Fafer, who had been a mercenary in his ancestors, was indeed much harder than him.
It's already February, the weather is getting warmer, winter is coming to an end, and spring is coming.
The hard work paid off, Luo Meng after five months of continuous training, his martial arts became more refined, and the data in Shennongjiao's corner began to move closer to the third-level swordsmanship and third-level footwork.
Of course, the third-level swordsmanship and third-level footwork alone are not equal to the third-level warrior, but with the practice again and again, he also began to gradually develop that kind of warrior's sense of rhythm, which is obviously reflected in a certain level of warrior.
However, in order to officially obtain the strength equivalent to that of a full-fledged warrior, it is necessary to wait until this state stabilizes. Fafer's practice results were more remarkable than Romon's because of his harder workouts.
Luo Meng even had the illusion that this young man, who had never had the opportunity to come into contact with orthodox martial arts before, perhaps, when spring came, it was not impossible to become a second-level warrior.
"Romong, I suddenly found that your kid is actually getting more and more handsome, and the wind is still so white, it's really unreasonable, it's hard to be moral, it's like this?" On this day, after practicing martial arts, the two good friends bathed together in the small lake in the forest, looking at each other's increasingly solid bodies, Fafer actually showed a rather jealous look.
Originally, even if the body was tall and strong, he could still maintain a quiet and delicate appearance, and his temperament became more and more calm and chic, which made his friend a little surprised.
Luo Meng laughed: "No, haven't you always been proud of your bravery, how can you envy others?"
"It's not because of Miss Eleni, I heard that even Miss Eleni likes you, and I'm really envious, when will there be a girl who likes me?" said with a smile on his deliberately exaggerated expression.
"I heard?" Luo Meng frowned slightly: "Who did you listen to?"
At this time, Fafer also climbed out of the lake and said with a smile: "Many people are saying, I heard from one of my warriors, they said, because Miss Eleni likes you, it is likely that you will become the son-in-law of the lord in the future, and now they are desperately trying to get close to me, and want to make friends with the lord's son-in-law in advance." ”
Luo Meng's brows furrowed even deeper, how could this nonsense spread to everyone?
"Why, don't you like Miss Elenie?" said Farfer, who was still stunned when he saw that the other party was still stunned, grinned.
"Do you believe what they say?" said Romon thoughtfully.
"Hey, it's still light, so we're going back?" Seeing that Romon turned and walked out of the forest, Fafer hurriedly followed. There was nothing to say all the way, and at the entrance of the town, a townsman suddenly showed a clear expression when he met Luo Meng.
"Romong, someone is looking for you, go back quickly. As he spoke, he smiled and ran away with an ambiguous expression.
"What's going on?" Romon looked at the other party strangely and left, and then, quickening his pace.
Finally, when he returned to the pharmacy, he saw some townspeople curiously peeking outside the store, and Romon couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Something happened to the pharmacy?
Walking quickly into the store, I saw a girl whispering something to Nick, and when I heard footsteps, the girl turned around lightly.
"Miss Elenie?" Not only Romon, but even Fafer, who had returned with Romon, was stunned. The beautiful girl standing in front of her was none other than the second daughter of the Lord of Rika Town, Miss Alini, a second-class priest.
You must know that the priest of the goddess of the earth is mostly a profession guarding the temple, and Eleni, as a second-level priest, gives a sense of calm in front of people. Unless it's something big, Miss Elenie, as a priest, is rarely seen in town.
"Romong, see if you still deny it. Farfer secretly sneered, and after giving Romon a flirtatious look, he first greeted Eleni, and then, with a very interesting look, pulled Nick aside.
On this side, only Romon and Eline were left standing face to face.
"Romong, I didn't expect your business to be so good, and you didn't invite me to come and visit. Eleni was the first to break the deadlock, looking at the crowds in the store. "Why, don't you ask me to go around?"
"Huh. Romon smirked, but thought to himself, where does he have any office?
However, Romon also felt that it was not appropriate to stand and talk like this, so he hurriedly let Eleni go to a small single room in the store that was set aside as a reading room.
There was a table and a few chairs, and the two of them sat facing each other.
Eleni looked around with a smile, flipped through a magic book on the table, and asked curiously, "You still have a magic book here?"
Romon looked at the book, also a little curious, but, considering that Rolek has been drilling here a lot lately, it must be him.
Hearing his explanation, Eleni shook her head and said, "If you don't have a talent for magic, then reading a book won't be of much use, I didn't expect you to be willing to spend money on such an expensive magic primer, which really surprised me." ”
Luo Meng smiled, these books were all obtained by him for free, so he was naturally willing to give them, but unfortunately, these words could not be told to Eleni.
The two of them gossiped again, and Alini finally told her what she was here for.
It turned out that she was attracted by Romone's new potion. As a priest, the preparation of potions is also something she wants to learn, and she is also very interested in these, and when she heard that Luo Meng's new potion has a better effect than the old one, she was immediately attracted to it.
Naturally, Romon couldn't tell Elini the secret of the new potion, but the two of them exchanged and discussed the preparation of the potion.
Not only did Romon benefit greatly from the half-tone druid, but some of the knowledge that Romon gained from other sources also broadened Elenie's horizons.
The two of them had a great conversation.
Opposite Romon Apothecary, a tense atmosphere permeated the manager's office.
"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?" the tax officer sneered.
Across from him, a teenage girl was staring across the window, where a teenager was smiling as she sent Eleni away.
"I really didn't expect Romon to be such a despicable person!" the girl retracted her gaze and said viciously.
The tax officer added another fire and said: "Yes, how can a girl as simple as Miss Eleni see through his face, pitiful, now that he has been used, I don't know." ”
"I'll just say, he's a second-level druid, how could he have researched some new potion, it turned out to be a trick from Eleni, this ...... This is simply too despicable! To regard the formulas of the elixirs of the predecessors as one's own achievements! It is too despicable!"
"Yes, with the strength of Master Jiefa, he can't develop a new potion, but Luo Meng has developed it, and anyone who sees it will think that Master Jiefa is inferior to him...... However, Miss Wei Lian, in fact, Luo Meng's talent is indeed very high, without the guidance of Master Jiefa, he can be promoted to a second-level druid so quickly, tsk, what a genius, Miss Weilian, you are only a first-level now, right?" said the tax officer with a smile.
Wei Lian snorted angrily and said, "It's just a liar, what's the big deal!"
"But, you know, I know, no one else knows. "I think that in the near future, Romond's shop will be the largest pharmacy in Rikatown," said the tax officer, "Miss Vizin......"
Seeing the girl turn around angrily to tinker with the potion, a smile appeared on the tax officer's face.
