Chapter 198: Come to Uncle's Room at Night
"What, you're interested?"
Fugui turned sideways and looked at his little niece, obviously responding to her question very formally, because from the beginning, he didn't underestimate his little niece, sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was already an alchemist, this month, in order to increase her voice in this council, Fugui, who also converted the mental power coefficient into mental power and advanced to an alchemist, would not be wrong, this girl had the taste of mental power that only alchemists have, and it was no wonder that his brother would send her to the Golden City, That is, the capital of the Char Empire went to learn alchemy, obviously valuing her talent.
"Hmm."
The girl nodded.
"I think that there is a huge market hidden in the daily necessities, and I believe that the profit in this will not be much less than the alchemy potion, just like a clockwork car, but the problem is that no alchemist is willing to study in this area, and everyone's eyes are on the alchemy potion or alchemy equipment, so, uncle, it is the first time I have met an alchemist who is willing to develop in this area!"
"What, uncle, are you an alchemist?"
Hearing Martha say this, Donald was a little uneasy, his sister was a genius, and he became an alchemist at the age of sixteen, he wouldn't be too surprised, but his uncle had never shown any talent for so many years, so why did he become an alchemist quietly?
"Well, good luck."
"Huh.."
Donald grinned, but he was born in the aristocracy and easily figured out the problem, too good people have the opportunity to compete for the position of the patriarch of the family, and this means danger, he knows what kind of ruthless character his grandmother is, thinking of this, Donald couldn't help but look at Fugui, his grandfather died ten years ago, and at that time, his uncle had been 'withdrawn' for five or six years.
In other words, when he was four or five years old, he already clearly knew his talent in alchemy, and knew to hide, and the most terrifying thing was that he was even able to suppress the urge to improve his mental power, and he would not allow himself to be promoted to alchemist until he left the family...
"Uncle, is the goods you want to sell the daily alchemy products you researched?"
"Hmm."
"What are you selling?"
It was Donald who asked, and he was indeed curious about what kind of alchemy products Fugui had researched.
"Second brother, this is a secret, you can't ask indiscriminately, the difficulty of ordinary alchemy products is easier, the first few transactions are the largest transactions, and someone will soon crack it, at that time, its value is not so high, so the secrecy during this period is the most important."
Fugui looked at his little niece with some surprise, not because she spoke for herself, but from her words, it could be heard that she had indeed studied this problem in detail.
"Hey, so this is one of the reasons why alchemists are reluctant to study the products of daily alchemy, and it takes a lot of effort, but it is easy to be cracked.."
Martha sighed.
"Actually, I like to study these things, but unfortunately my father said it was a waste of time."
"I see.."
Hearing Martha's words, Fugui suddenly figured out, why is the alchemy in this world actually very powerful, but there are so many things missing, yes, whoever has worked hard to develop a formula will be cracked by others in a blink of an eye, and it will be uncomfortable, and then, he looked at his little niece, who had never met, and suddenly said.
"Uncle, I still have some things to deal with, come to my uncle's room at night"
"Hey~(โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ(โปโโป! She's a child."
"Ahem, uncle, father will beat you to death.."
"Phew! What are you thinking? โ
Fugui looked at Ciri and Donald with tears and laughter.
"Since she calls me uncle, I can't give me any gifts, I don't have much money, and I don't have as much family as I have, but since she has ideas in this regard, I can give her some advice."
"Really? Uncle! โ
Martha jumped next to Fugui, picked up Fugui's arm, and shook it there.
"Really, but your brother is right, you are also a big girl after all, so let's do it, I'll have a bonfire party in the evening, and we'll talk while eating."
This time Donald didn't raise any objections, but he didn't say that he would go, after all, this kind of thing is classified information, after all, he is not very familiar with his uncle, and he can't understand why Fugui is willing to help Martha, perhaps, is a kind of mutual attraction between geniuses and likes everyday things?
"Is it Mr. Fugui?"
In the distance, several tribesmen rode to the convoy where Fugui was.
"Well, it's me."
"Patriarch Gagir invites you to her tent."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Uncle, what you said, shouldn't this be it?"
Donald looked at Fugui in disbelief, when did he get involved with Gagiel, the great witcher?
"Well, I made a deal with Ms. Gagir and bought a skill and experience from her, an alchemy product recipe to use."
"Uncle, it shouldn't be a daily necessity."
"Clever.."
"How is this possible.."
"Second brother! Don't underestimate daily necessities, if Ms. Gajir does this business, no one will dare to crack it in a short period of time, then during this time, this is a monopoly business, and the profit is absolutely so high that it scares you to death! โ
"Alright, let's come back and talk, take me to get the engram first."
Rubbing Martha's hair, Fugui likes his little niece more and more, of course, not because of physical like, he doesn't have that special hobby, but because he rarely meets someone who can talk to him, in a sense, he is willing to help Martha, to a large extent, for this reason..
"Looks like I'm going to have to talk to my father about this."
Following behind Fugui, looking at the chattering Martha, Donald sighed, he was originally casually coming over and walking around, how could he have thought that this uncle of his was hiding so deeply, to be honest, he was a little glad at this moment, no one in the family treated him harshly at the beginning, at most it was just a normal means for the battle for the position of the patriarch, such a young alchemist, his future can be seen...
--- dividing line
"Good day, Ms. Gagir, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your demeanor is still the same."
In the luxurious tent with the golden roof, Fugui saw Gagir again, her wet hair proved that she had just taken a bath, and the faint scent of roses showed that she had used the soap she had made, which couldn't help but make Fugui pick the corners of his mouth, the big witchers were like this, not to mention others.
"Yo, you became an alchemist?"
"Fluke, fluke.."
"Three things."
Gagir pursed her lips, obviously not believing in the words of wealth, but she didn't ask, but sat on her throne with a golden sword.
"First, I'm almost menstruating, my priest is just looking at your scroll, and I haven't learned how to make sanitary napkins yet, you can help me make more, and teach her by the way."
"No problem, Bao Jiao Bao Hui."
"Heh... Second, I will pass on the rest of the alchemy to her, and you will live with me for the next few days. โ
"No problem, we'll stay as long as you let us stay, what about the third thing?"
"Third."
With that, Gagir sat up, his face more serious than ever.
"I went all the way east, and outside of a woodland, I found some traces of a battle, a battle between a witcher and a ghoul, and one of the ghouls was supposed to be a fallen witcher, and what makes me curious is that I found traces of you there."
As he spoke, Gagir shook his fingers, and a faint scent of roses came to his nose.
"Rose-flavored soap, for now, it should be only you here."
"Well, there's this."
Fugui nodded, and said the matter roughly, of course, the gravity potion was omitted, and it was mentioned in one sentence, after all, it was too detailed, and it might leave something behind.
"Where's the parchment?"
"In Ciri's place, I was going to give it to the lord of the city, Ciri, to Lady Gagir."
Fugui handed over the parchment without any hesitation, he didn't give it to Gagir before, because he couldn't be sure what Gagir's relationship with this matter was, which side she was on, but now that Gagir knew about it and took the initiative to mention it, it showed that she knew more, and in terms of her status, it was not strange to know about this matter, as for whether she might be a person in that organization, it was a complete joke, not to mention anything else, with Gagir's mobility, it would only be a matter of minutes to kill them quietly in the wildernessThere was no need to wait for them to reach her tribe.
After studying the parchment for a moment, Gagir put it away.
"With your cleverness, you should know how deep this water is, so you can leave this matter alone, and I will deal with it."
"Understood."
Fugui nodded, and at the same time, the experience of being a human in his previous life and this life made him faintly think of a possibility, if his guess is true, then in terms of his size, he is indeed not qualified to care about this matter, immortals fight, mortals are actually not even qualified to suffer..
"Huh? He became an alchemist, and you have completely mastered the first-order alchemy? โ
Fugui left the golden tent with the sacrifice, and Gagir also took Ciri to her practice room, a huge and quiet independent tent, came to Ciri, and gently patted Ciri's shoulder a few times, through feedback, she knew that Ciri had now released the full potential of this body, which showed that she had successfully practiced the first-order alchemy of the Heavenly Body that she had taught her, which was something that the standard alchemy technique did not have.
"Thank you for your codex..... And his potions. โ
Ciri said with a little emotion, of course, the second half of the sentence is in the bottom of her heart, although she has Gagir's experience in the codex, but what really made her quickly break through the shackles of the standard alchemy is still relying on the rich 'gravity potion', which also magically 'has' the potential to release, in this state, in turn, reverse Gajir's alchemy, the difficulty is reduced too much.
"It's just a fair deal, since you have completed the first order of learning, let's go directly to the next step, condense the crystallization of will, this is the key to making your alchemy advanced to the second order, although I didn't write the specific content in the codex, but I did write some relevant introductions, have you read it?"
"Looked."
Ciri nodded, according to Gagir's Codex, when the witcher's body becomes strong enough to reach the limit of what the human body can bear, he can exert his power beyond the limits of his physical body through the crystallization of will, of course, at the cost of paying the corresponding amount of renal spiritual energy.
And the so-called crystallization of will, in fact, is the instinct of the body, in the words of those former mages who studied this method, people, not only have a soul in their brains, but also have in every flesh and blood in their bodies, but compared with the brain can self-condense into a soul, the souls in other parts of the body only have the simplest instincts, and alchemy is to continuously strengthen the body with kidney spiritual energy, so as to achieve the purpose of indirectly strengthening these most basic instincts and bringing them together, and this thing that gathers together, It is the crystallization of will.
Its existence is like a complete command system in the marching army, which allows the demon hunter to control the adrenal spiritual energy more freely to complete the more complex strengthening that breaks through the physical limit, which is the true power of the second-order alchemy that Gagir said!
On the contrary, it is a group of untrained bandits, robbers, rough and directly through the spiritual energy on the body to strengthen the body, similar to the Eagle Eye Technique and other abilities, in fact, they are relatively superficial use of adrenal spiritual energy to strengthen the body, can only overdraw their own potential to a certain extent, not beyond the limit.
"Therefore, the key to stepping into the second order is how to channel those instincts that exist in your flesh and blood, so that they can condense into a will crystal, generally speaking, there are three ways to condense the will crystal."
Gagir lit a cigarette at random, and threw one to Ciri, anyway, as long as he was a witcher, there was no one who didn't smoke.
"The first is to be guided by other people who are stronger than you, such as me, who can also help you gather the crystallization of will, this method is simple and fast, but the problem is that this process will inevitably make your crystallization suffer from some 'pollution', this kind of 'pollution' will not have any effect on the power, but it will make you have an innate fear of the guide."
"The second type, obsession, people have their own obsessions, that is, deep down in your heart you think the most important thing, it may be a person, it may be a thing, or it may be one of your thoughts, with it as the core, through some special methods to stimulate your emotions, the same can achieve the result of condensation and crystallization, but its side effect is that you will be subject to this obsession for a lifetime and cannot refute it."
"The last one, awakening the body's instincts between life and death, and then gathering them through the guidance of the adrenal psionic energy, this method is more dangerous, the success rate is too low, and the good advantage is that once successful, there will be no side effects."
"Which one to choose, you decide."
"I... Choose the second option. โ
After a moment's silence, Ciri spoke, because she didn't want to be controlled, but she didn't want to die either.
--- dividing line
"The goddess of magic is on it, it's a clockwork car!"
"It's the first time I've met a development cart in the wilderness."
"Who is this?"
โ...โ
In the distance, an elongated and luxurious clockwork car is rumbling towards the tribe of Gagir, the unique metal impact sound of the alchemy, attracting the attention of many people, most of the time curious, there are also some disdain, just like Fugui said before, the winding car is really useless in the vast and harsh environment of the wasteland, but when the car slowly appeared in front of everyone, and clearly showed the signs printed on both sides of the body, the voice of doubt disappeared.
Without it, because of that sign, it seems that there is a sail standing on a piece of land, this is a new aristocrat of the Char Empire in recent years, the Beidi Ken family, a behemoth famous for being good at refining earth-based magic seal alchemy potions!
Of course, it's not about money, it's really about money, it's not that there are no nobles who are richer than them, even if they are not as rich, it's not impossible to let a clockwork car shuttle in the wilderness, the question is what's the point of doing this, whether it's a nobleman or a businessman, no one is a fool, with an iron lump uphill can't go uphill, can't go downhill, and occasionally fall into a mud pit, isn't that a hole in the brain!
But the Ken family is different, their family has a very unique earth system of law seal alchemy potion, in the 'large area of construction' of the earth element, with the strength of other families is difficult to match, with this ability, their clockwork car can be free to drive anywhere at the minimum cost, in fact, the development of a car in the wilderness has basically become the symbol of this family, the other families are either not up to standard, or the cost is too great.
Eventually, on the uneven meadow, the clockwork cart slowly stopped in front of a camp with a large flag planted outside the camp, like the mark on the cart.
After a while, a man walked out of the car, looking in his thirties, dressed very differently from the Chars, as if there was a feeling of exoticism, but there was nothing strange about the people around, because they all knew that this man was sent to the strongest country in the world by his father, that is, the current head of the family, when he was a child, and he grew up there, so naturally his words and deeds were somewhat different from the Chars.
"Master Claire."
Soon, the person in charge of the camp came to the man and respectfully owed the man.
"Debriefing."
The man nodded slightly, took off his coat casually, threw it to the servants beside him, and walked straight into the camp.
"At present, there are a total of thirty-seven caravans in the camp, three of which Ms. Gagir personally invited, including us, have already arrived, and the rest are some caravans from other families that Ms. Gagir met on the road."
"Anything notable?"
In the Ken family's camp, the servants were methodically preparing dinner, and the fresh antelope meat was roasted on the campfire, and Claire hooked her fingers, and one of the servants immediately handed over a piece of cut meat on a dinner plate, along with a fork.
"There is an independent businessman, according to the information we have received, he seems to know Lady Gagir, and not long after arriving in the tribe, he was invited to the golden tent, and he has not come out yet, specifically for what reason, for fear of angering Ms. Gagir, he did not investigate."
"Leave him alone."
After chewing a few times, swallowing the meat from the plate, and casually tossing the plate to the servant, Claire shrugged.
"Reform, development of the wasteland, relying not on relationships, but on money, an independent businessman who doesn't even have a noble banner, even if he has a close relationship with Ms. Gagir, it won't affect us, but if he really has some special relationship with Ms. Gagir, he can also make friends, what does he look like? Is it Ms. Gagir's favorite type? โ
"Ahem, young master.."
The man coughed and interrupted Claire's words, in private they could say anything, but in Gagir's camp, facing a great demon hunter with one enemy and one army, it was best to let his young master not say anything, which was also a disadvantage of growing up in the Merrican Empire, that is, he liked to joke, and regardless of the occasion.
"The other two have sent people to say that after you come, they want to have a small meeting, what they mean is that the wilderness is big, and there is no need for too much competition between us."
"If you want to be beautiful, who doesn't know that the wilderness will be the most important passage between Eastern Xia and Western Xia in the future, in the past, the empire did not allow free business, this road was useless, but now that the alchemy market is reformed, the future value of this channel is immeasurable, if you want it, you have to show your strength to grab it."
"Okay, young master, also, information on other caravans, do you need to listen to it? There are several of them that are also very powerful. โ
"Don't listen, I never care if the opponent has the strength in business, and I don't have the strength anyway."
The man wanted to say something, but Claire waved her hand.
"I'm hungry, Fang Cai's barbecue is good, cut some for me, and bring me the alchemy game machine in my car, remember to handle it gently, if it is broken, I will sell you to the Sea of Glory to dig up magic crystals!"
"Ahem, yes, young master.."
