Chapter VII Opportunities
Master Cologne wants to accept apprentices, and there is no fixed time, every time the pharmacy workshop releases the news, and then after some special tests, Cologne himself decides whether to accept apprentices. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Sometimes Mr. Cologne collects it once a year, but sometimes it doesn't take it for two or three years.
"I really can't do it, so I went to the pharmacy workshop to learn secretly. ”
Ark had already made up his mind that he couldn't wait for Cologne to accept apprentices indefinitely, and if Cologne would never accept apprentices again, wouldn't he have to wait for a lifetime?
It's a big deal to go to the pharmacy workshop to steal learning, Ark has the help of the brain, even if it is to steal learning, it will definitely be easier, however, some precious potion recipes, the protection of the pharmacy workshop is very tight, and Ark has no chance to steal learning.
Therefore, Ark was still prepared to wait, if there was a chance to become an apprentice in the potion workshop, then the potion would be justified, there would be no danger, and there would definitely be much more potion recipes to be exposed to.
In this way, Ark went to the grocery store every day to inquire about the news of the apothecary workshop, and every time he went to make a delivery, Ark would also inquire about the apprenticeship of Master Cologne, but the apothecary workshop did not seem to plan to recruit apprentices, which made Ark distressed.
Sometimes, Ark even tries to get close to the house where the potion is dispensed, but is immediately spotted by Victor. Ark discovers that even if he wants to, it's actually very difficult, because he can't even get close to the room where the potions are dispensed, and even if he has an intelligent brain, it doesn't work.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ark went to the grocery store every day, listening to Old York's roar every day, and he felt that this life was really terrible.
"Hey Ark, we've been running out of cargo a lot lately, and Old York's temper has gotten even hotter. I heard that the Wesker Empire has launched another attack, and the front line is tight, and even our Cansley City has not many merchants willing to enter the city at this time. ”
Jack always liked to listen to this gossip, especially about the war, and he seemed to have a natural interest in it. Occasionally, Jack has revealed that his dream is to become a general.
It's a pity that this can only be a dream, and Jack is now just a guy in the old York shop, but this does not prevent him from paying attention to the war on the front line.
Ark shook his head and said casually: "This war is endless, if it continues to be fought, this shop in Old York will almost be unable to sustain it." ”
Jack's expression darkened, and he sighed: "Yes, although old York is stingy, he always has to pay us, and if the war continues, we won't even have a job......"
As he spoke, Old York hurried back, and when he entered the shop, he threw them at Ark, and shouted, "Ark, hurry up and send these five packets to the Potion Workshop, remember, ten silver coins are one package, and five packages are fifty silver coins." Tell Victor that bastard boy that this time there can't be less copper plates, or you'll get the goods back for me. ”
Ark was a little surprised, when did Old York become so strong? In the past, in the face of the Pharmacy Workshop, in the face of Victor, Old York could only swallow his anger.
"Boss, what if Victor doesn't take it?"
Ark asked hesitantly.
"Don't accept it?"
Old York pursed his lips and sneered: "Now the front line is tight, the Wesker Empire has even blocked the front line, the potion workshop has to prepare potions, how tight the raw materials are, Victor's little bastard is not stupid, if he doesn't accept it, he will wait to be expelled from the potion workshop by Lord Cologne." ”
"The Potion Workshop is out of stock?"
Ark's heart moved, because he felt that this seemed to be an opportunity, the Wesker Empire began to make a big move, then there must be wounded on the front line, and at this time, the business of the potion workshop would be very good, and everyone would be very busy.
Would Master Cologne choose to take in some apprentices at this time to help with the dispensing of potions?
Thinking of this, Ark couldn't wait to hurry to the potion workshop with the package, he had to go to the potion workshop to inquire.
......
"Damn, how can there be so many people?"
In the potion workshop, an apprentice looked at the long queue behind him, especially since most of these people were wounded who had retreated from the front line, and the people in the potion workshop did not dare to scold them at will.
During this time, the apprentices in the potion workshop have extended the time of dispensing potions every day, but even if they speed up, the potions are always in short supply, especially the healing potions are the first to be robbed.
"Why don't you have any potions? Our Commander has been stabbed thirteen by those savage Weskers, hurry up and make potions, if it's too late, I'll break your necks!"
A burly man as tall as an ox, wearing half-body armor, stared coldly at the apprentices in the potion workshop, these barbaric soldiers were murderous in each of them, although these apprentices usually had enough to stand in front of ordinary mercenaries, but in front of these fierce soldiers, they did not dare to be presumptuous.
Otherwise, it would be light to be beaten violently, and if these barbarian soldiers were ruthless, it would be possible to kill them.
When Ark arrived at the potion workshop, he saw such a tense scene, the potion workshop was heavily guarded, but in the face of more and more wounded, everyone was nervous.
"Ark, hurry up and send the materials over, is there any? If there is, let Old York send them, and we will have as many as there are in our workshop!"
Victor still had a domineering expression, but his eyes seemed to be in a hurry, it seemed that there were not many materials in the potion workshop, and if he didn't hurry up to prepare the potion, it would be troublesome.
Ark pointed to the package in his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Ten silver coins for each package, and one copper plate must not be missing, otherwise I will take it back." ”
"You ......"
Victor's face flushed, he used to treat Ark with arrogance and domineering, when will it be his turn to be deflated?But now is indeed an extraordinary time, the potion workshop cannot be without materials, otherwise, it will not be easy for those wounded soldiers outside to be sent away.
Thinking of this, Victor could only endure it and said coldly: "Wait here." ”
Victor then turned and walked into the potion workshop.
Ark looked around, the guards here knew him, so he could move around, as long as he didn't get close to the room where the apprentices were dispensing potions.
The pungent smell of potions in the potion workshop was all there, and Ark could see from afar the busy figures of many apprentices in the apothecary workshop, but even so, the potions were still in short supply.
Perhaps, this is really an opportunity!
"What are you looking at? Hmph, fifty silver coins, materials for me. ”
Victor came up behind Ark and threw fifty silver coins at Ark, who tapped carefully, making Victor even angrier.
Fifty silver coins indeed, Ark nodded, and threw the five packages to Victor. But Ark didn't leave, still looking at the busy figures in the room in the distance, Victor said coldly: "If you don't leave, do you still want to stay in the potion workshop?"
Ark didn't pay attention to Victor's cynicism, he asked in a calm tone, "The potion workshop must have been quite busy lately, right?" I don't know if there are enough people, if not, I would like to give it a try." ”
Victor laughed out loud as if he had heard something: "Haha, you think the apothecary workshop is the grocery store of Old York, and you still want to give it a try? Even if the apothecary workshop wants to accept apprentices, you are just a grocery store guy, and you still want to become an apprentice in the apothecary workshop?"
"I'm a grocer guy, and you weren't necessarily much better than me before you became an apprentice in the Potions Workshop. ”
Victor's face was blue with anger, he was arrogant, and he was arrogant in front of ordinary people, in fact, it was to hide the cowardice in his heart, his status was not high before, and his status was not much better than Ark, which was almost the biggest thorn in his heart. Now that he was pointed out by Ark, Victor naturally hated Ark very much, and hated to swallow Ark alive.
"You want to be an apprentice?"
Just as Victor's face turned blue with anger, a young man with a thin body, a handsome face, and long blond hair asked Ark lightly.
"Ah, Brother Lorraine. ”
Seeing this young man, Victor seemed to be very frightened, and hurriedly shouted respectfully.
However, Lorraine ignored Victor and instead looked at Ark.
"Yes, I want to be an apprentice in the Apothecary!"
Ark affirmed. In fact, he had noticed this Lorraine a long time ago, and the other party's status in the potion workshop seemed to be quite high, and even Victor was very respectful when he saw it. Therefore, Yak will be very confident in front of Lorraine, hoping that Lorraine can give him a chance.
Lorraine didn't disappoint Ark either, he nodded and said, "The workshop has been a bit busy lately, there are not enough people, I'm about to put up a notice, anyone who wants to become an apprentice in the potion workshop can come to the potion workshop tomorrow morning to participate in the test." As long as you pass the test, you can become an apprentice in the pharmacy workshop. ”
"Really?"
Ark was happy in his heart, he was worried about how to become an apprentice in the potion workshop, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come, he finally waited in vain during this time, and finally waited for this opportunity.
Lorraine didn't say anything more, just turned around and left to post a notice outside. Ark also hurriedly followed, and saw that the content of the notice was indeed recruiting apprentices, and Ark was completely relieved.
As soon as the notice was posted, it spread throughout the city of Cansley, and the poor children, or some young people from common families, wanted to give it a try. Once successful, you can become an apprentice in the apothecary workshop, which is the envy of everyone, and even the income of an apprentice is enough to support a large family.
Ark didn't stay in the potion workshop for long, he knew that the competition would be fierce tomorrow morning, and even if he had the help of his brain, he had to prepare in advance.
Ark secretly made up his mind that this time he must seize the opportunity to become an apprentice in the potion workshop.
