Chapter 185: Marquis Hubert's Purpose?
After Claire left, Hubert smiled as he held the peach-sized fruit, and said to himself, "With this fruit, the certainty of promotion should be greater." ”
After Claire came out, she glanced back at the palatial mansion, and then left thoughtfully, he couldn't understand why the other party would exchange the life potion that cost a lot of money to him like this.
In the process, Claire communicated with each other very simply, both of them went straight to the point, and they were not as intrigued as when they were with Sophia, always thinking about whether the other party would pit themselves somewhere.
That woman's heart is broken, and she has to guard against it.
……
"Claire, this is the elixir of life that Lady Sophia sent you."
As soon as Claire returned to the store, she saw Shane holding two packages and said to herself.
"Huh?" Claire was a little surprised, "The life potion sent by Sophia? ”
"Yes, Lady Sophia said that she expected that you might not be able to grab it, so she saved a dose of life medicine from the family and sold it to you for four million gold coins at a cheaper price."
Claire: "......"
"And what's that other package?" Claire asked, pointing to the package that Shane was carrying in her other hand.
"Uh... This is what my father brought to you. When I got home today, he brought it to me, and when I was in high spirits, I happened to meet Mrs. Sophia at the door of the store to send someone to deliver the package. ”
Speaking of this, Shane added: "My father said, you don't have to spend money to buy it, just use it, and then return it when you have it." ”
Claire scratched her head, whether it was Sophia or Shane's father's conditions, the conditions were very good, Sophia's side was one million less than the original price, and there was a loan equivalent to interest-free, and she would pay it back when she had it.
But the problem is...
Claire also took out a tube of dark blue life potion from the space ring, and put it together with the two tubes of potion in Shane's hand, and the three of them shone with a charming dark blue color next to each other.
"Ahh Where did you get the life potion? Went to the Marquis Hubert and that he gave it to you?! Sean was shocked, it was enough to shock him that Sophia and his father were willing to take out the life potion, and now Claire was able to get the life potion from Hubert, which was a bit outrageous.
Is there anything he can't do?
"Well, I used that fruit to get him in exchange." Claire said truthfully.
"Let's go! Let's go in and say. Shane pulled Claire to the rest room inside, "Tell me how you got it." ”
Claire took a few minutes to explain the general process, but Shane was still shocked after listening to the process.
He asked incredulously, "Wasn't this life potion bought by Marquis Hubert for twenty-five million?" Why is it just given to you? ”
Claire pondered for a moment, rubbed her fingers slightly, scratched her head and said, "I also think it's a little strange, if the life potion is not important, he won't spend so much money to fight with me, but if it's important, why did he give it to me so easily?" ”
After Claire finished speaking, her fingers tapped regularly on the table, and she began to ponder, this doubt was there when he was in the other party's mansion, but he was too embarrassed to ask it in person.
"Could it be that the effect of your fruit is better than that of the life potion? That's why he's willing to give it in exchange? Shane guessed.
Claire shook her head, "I also know alchemy, these two things are not the same attribute at all, the life elixir is to supplement the vitality of the human body, and that fruit is the optimization and transformation of the human body to assist in promotion, the two are not related at all." ”
"Could it be that there is a silver-level old man in their clan who is about to die of old age, so he will spend so much money to buy life potion, and later know that your fruit can help the silver knight to advance to the gold knight, and the knight after promotion can also increase the lifespan of a few decades, which is much better than the effect of life potion, so he exchanged it with you?" Shane continued to speculate.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Xia En denied what he had just said, "But it's not right, the clansmen in their family all cultivate the Golden Lion Douqi cultivation method, once they cultivate the Dou Qi, they will be gold-level knights, and I have never seen a silver-level child in their clan." ”
Claire was still pondering on the side, although it was nothing whether she knew it or not, but she was a little itchy with curiosity.
Shane continued to speculate: "But it's not impossible, if you take that fruit to practice for a potion, then the finished product should be able to advance a gold-level knight to the level of a great knight." ”
"But the question is whether it's worth it, how much is a knight at the level of a big knight worth? Don't spend tens of millions to do it, and the Hilt family should not be inferior to a knight at the level of a big knight, and their family masters are all at the level of a sword saint. ”
As soon as Shane's words fell, Claire seemed to have a flash of inspiration in her mind, patting her thigh and shouting, "Hearing you say that, I seem to have some ideas." ”
"Huh?" Shane was also interested, leaned his head over, and asked, "What idea?" ”
"Answer me a few questions first, do you remember who that bottle of life potion came from?"
"Of course I remember, Master Morey, one of the four great alchemy masters in the royal capital, is best at alchemy in the field of potions. But what does this have to do with Master Morey? Even the life potion he refined wasn't worth that much money. ”
"How's that Master Morey's temperament?" Claire continued.
The corners of Shane's mouth twitched, "I don't know, none of the four alchemy masters are existences that I can touch, Master Morey is a high-level member of the Academy of Magic, and he doesn't see the head and tail of the dragon on weekdays, and I don't know what his temperament is." ”
The status of the alchemy master is very high in any country, and Morey's status in the Royal Capital Magic Academy is almost equivalent to the level of vice president, even if a character like Sophia meets the other party, he has to respectfully call him a master, this is not a verbal honorific title, but a respect from the heart.
The status of the family is the same as that of their own ancestor, and the ancestor of their family is also the vice president of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic.
"That's right." Claire had a smile on her face, and Shane's words confirmed his suspicions.
"What's right?" Shane still has some guesses.
"The 25 million that Marquis Hubert spent on was not a life potion at all, but to be able to get in touch with Master Morey!"
"What do you mean?"
"Marquis Hubert bought the opportunity to befriend Master Morey, he didn't need such a thing as a life potion at all, and the reason why he bought it was because the potion was refined by Master Morey. Twenty-five million for a vial of life potion is really not worth it, but if you can spend twenty-five million to be able to befriend Master Morey, it will be worth it. ”
Claire continued, "This would also explain why he just traded the life potion to me for the fruit. He didn't care about the so-called life elixir. ”
Xia En's mouth opened slightly, and he exclaimed, "This is indeed something I didn't think about. ”
"I think Marquis Hubert should need Master Morey to help him refine some kind of potion, so he will spend a lot of money to strengthen Master Morey. And that potion should be a potion to assist in promotion, otherwise it wouldn't have found me, and exchanged it with me for a fruit that can help mages and knights advance. ”
"According to what you say, it does make sense." Sean said softly, "The only thing that makes me wonder is why this Marquis Hubert is willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to ask for a bottle of potion that can make the Golden Knight advance to the rank of Grand Knight?" Not to mention the Great Knights, even the Earth Knights abound in their Hilt family. ”
Claire shook her head, he was able to deduce this from this bit of information that it was not bad, he was not a god, he knew everything.
