Chapter 239: Lawson's Chief Apprentice (1/3)
Afternoon.
Fanggu Town, Amber River Pier.
Lord Morrow was the first to board a large ship, and beckoned to everyone on the boat: "Let's all get on the boat, from here downstream, you can reach the dock of Riverside Town in less than 2 hours." ”
It's a lot more convenient than riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
So, Rosen, Vivien, and 6 Silver Moon Rangers, plus 20 Baron's elite bodyguards, boarded the large wooden ship with a displacement of about 300 tons.
Not long after departure, Madame Moreau raised her hand to cover her forehead with an apologetic expression.
"This section of the river is relatively fast, the hull of the ship is shaking badly, I am a little seasick, and I am in the cabin first."
Vivien took a potion from her suitcase and gave it to her.
"Sister-in-law, this is for you, my latest improved weak effect tranquility potion, it can be much more comfortable to drink."
"Thank you."
After Madame Morrow took the potion, she drank it without hesitation.
Lawson's heart flashed slightly: "It seems that Vivian's alchemy has been widely recognized."
Mrs. Morrow apologized to Rosen again, and went back to the cabin to rest.
On the deck, there were two siblings, Rosen and Lord Morrow.
When his wife was not around, Lord Moro was much more relaxed.
He asked directly: "Mayor Lawson, my sister said that she would open a medicine refining workshop to supply Crescent Town, was it your idea?" ”
Rosen leaned against the outer wall of the cabin, his hands folded over his chest, "To be exact, it was Vivien who offered to help, and I agreed with her idea and thought it was a good idea. ”
Lord Morrow's expression moved: "Do you really think that the alchemy workshop can make money?" ”
In his opinion, his sister is unreliable, but Rosen, as a master of flow numbers, has a very rigorous temperament and must be reliable.
And if he thinks so, then the workshop is worth taking seriously.
Rosen had thought about it for a long time.
"I am willing to buy the potion for 150 kroner a tonne, and after our calculations, if this potion is manufactured on a large scale and a large plantation is set up to grow herbs for the potion, it is possible to overwhelm the cost of 80 kroner a ton."
"I have a lot of demand, and I expect to need more than 5,000 tons of potions in the future, but that's not the point."
"The point is, as my petrochemical building skills gradually spread, the demand for clay potions in the Golden Land will continue to increase, and your income will continue to increase."
Lord Moro was suddenly a little moved.
"It sounds a little interesting, but Vivian said that she had to invest 80,000 kroner in the early stage and buy a lot of alchemy equipment from the east, which is too much investment."
Vivian said: "Brother, I said, I will give 30,000, and I will help you pull another 20,000 yuan of investment, and you only need to pay 30,000 when it is your turn." ”
As she spoke, she placed the suitcase she had been carrying on the deck and secured it carefully, and then naturally walked over to Rosen and leaned against him.
"Brother, I'll be honest, I'm fully capable of finding this money on my own, and the reason why I'm looking for you is because I want to repay the family."
Ignoring his sister's intimacy with Rosen, Moreau propped his hands on the eaves of the boat and looked out at the river in the distance.
"Sister, you've said a lot of things like that before."
Speaking of this, Vivien was also very angry.
"I've said it many times, but it's not all my responsibility for every time something goes wrong."
"There is absolutely no problem with my potion, and the business method I proposed is not wrong, but you are always holding me back."
Lord Moro was also unhappy at once: "Your solution is to keep making additional investments, 11,000 land, who can afford this?"
"Making a lot of money is the same as refining a new potion, how can you succeed in one go? Don't want to explore the experience? ”
"That's too costly!"
Vivian looked disdainful: "If you want me to say, you are too petty to let go!"
Lord Morrow's anger rose: "Sister, you have no conscience when you say this......"
The more the two talked, the more excited they became, and seeing that they were about to quarrel, Lawson hurriedly played a round.
"Okay, okay, the past is over, just talk about this time."
Lord Moro let out a sigh and calmed down: "Okay, let's not mention it before, let's talk about it this time." ”
"This investment is really big, in case of loss, your nephew will really have to drop out of school and go home, and I just spent a lot of effort to send him to La Falea."
Vivien pursed her lips, looking disapproving.
"What is there to learn about those old knowledge in the academy, if you want me to say, it is better to let George Bernard Shaw drop out of school and come back and learn from Master Rosen."
"In the future, even if you can't learn any powerful spells, you can make a lot of money just by teaching people to flow numbers."
Lord Morrow was not angry at this, he laughed.
"I said, sister, I've never seen you praise someone like this. So you're really hooked on Mayor Lawson and not just having fun? ”
Vivien glared at her brother disapprovingly.
"Whoever is having fun, I'm here for real. If it weren't for the fact that we were each locked up in marriage, I would have tried my best to marry Master Lawson. ”
"It's a pity~ I'm a step late."
Rosen felt that her idea was dangerous and immediately issued a warning.
"Vivien, I don't think the same way as you. My married life is very happy now, and if you dare to destroy it, then we are mortal enemies. ”
Vivien reassured.
"No, no, I would never do that. If you hadn't helped me this time, I wouldn't have died, so I owe you my life. ”
"For the life-saving benefactor, I will never take revenge."
Lord Moro was shocked: "What's not life? Sister, are you in any danger? ”
Vivien immediately waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, just a small accident happened while refining medicine, and it was lucky that Master Lawson solved the problem for me." The thing has passed completely. ”
Only then did Lord Morrow breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Rosen seriously.
"It seems that my sister likes you for a reason, not on a whim as I thought earlier."
"Since you saved her life, you are the benefactor of my Morrow family."
"Don't worry, this time, I will help you convince that old fellow Dumont, at least let him not trouble you."
Rosen was very happy to get this promise.
Of course, he does not pin his hopes on verbal promises, and in such important matters concerning the future of the family, he only believes in a firm alliance of interests.
On the other side, Lord Moro groaned for a moment and spoke back to the workshop.
"Regarding the matter of the alchemy workshop, I personally have no objection, because my sister does have extraordinary talents in alchemy."
"But I alone agree that it doesn't count, and that Lena Delin is my wife, and I have to respect her ideas."
Rosen fully understood, and thought that what Lord Morrow did was fine.
But he felt it wasn't enough, and what he needed was a clear, unwavering commitment.
So, he took out the second chip he had prepared.
"Baron, if you fancy my learning, I can indeed take your son George Bernard Shaw as an apprentice."
"In addition to the knowledge that a full-fledged mage must master, I will also teach him flow numbers, gravity, and some spell-casting techniques that my wife and I have shared to create."
A mage always has to take in a few apprentices, because apprentices can not only pass on knowledge, but also easily become the absolute confidants of the master.
And Rosen is willing to accept the son of Baron Moreau as an apprentice, first, he hopes to completely strengthen the alliance with Lord Moreau through the master-apprentice relationship.
As long as Moro agreed to become his son's magic mentor, the alliance between the two sides would easily not be repeated.
Another reason is that Morrow has a good character, and his son must not be much worse.
And as soon as he said this, Lord Moro was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly spoke to confirm.
"Master Lawson, are you planning to take in an apprenticeship, or an ordinary apprentice?"
There are many types of apprentices.
The outermost part is the registered apprentice, and at most you can get a few words of guidance, which is not a big deal.
Then there are ordinary apprentices, who mainly rely on self-study, and occasionally get guidance from their mentors, but they must do all kinds of chores for their mentors on weekdays.
Then there is the apprenticeship, who can get systematic teaching from the tutor and learn one or two exclusive secret skills from the tutor.
Basically, at the level of the apprenticeship, the level of intimacy is very high, and it is not even inferior to the ordinary relationship between children and daughters.
The personal apprentice goes up, and there is also the inheritance apprentice.
Inheritance apprentices are no different from their own sons.
Many times, even closer than a son. Apprentices, on the other hand, often see their mentors much more heavily than their biological parents.
Because the parents created the body, the Guru reshaped the soul.
Rosen smiled: "Of course, it is a personal apprenticeship. ”
Lord Moro was immediately moved.
Now that Lawson's reputation in the highland magic world is in full swing, he has a faint reputation as the leader of the highland mage.
Learning spells from him, not only can you learn the most advanced magic knowledge at the moment, but after leaving the school, with the identity of Rosen's personal apprentice, you can immediately gain a firm foothold in the highland mage world.
In contrast, La Falella College may be very famous, but it is thousands of kilometers away in Winterfell, and those who can't learn it are another story.
When I came back from school, I didn't accumulate any contacts in the highlands, and I had to work hard from scratch.
One plus and one subtract, the gap is bigger.
But there are risks.
The biggest risk is that Rosen and Vappos become mortal enemies.
If Vobos becomes a count, then Rosen will definitely have a hard time, and his own son will also be implicated.
Therefore, in addition to being moved, there was some hesitation.
Seeing him like this, Vivien didn't know what her brother was thinking.
She immediately sneered: "I said brother, are you not good at your eyes and can only see the road one meter in front of you?"
Lord Moro naturally didn't care about his sister's ridicule, and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?"
Vivien said, "With his current achievements alone, Master Rosen is enough to leave a golden name in the history of the Golden Land."
"George Bernard Shaw became his personal apprentice, let alone in a small highland, he would be looked down upon when he traveled to the entire golden land, and he could also leave his name in the history books in the future."
"You're good, the opportunity to prosper the family is right in front of you, and you're still hesitating, no wonder you can't even manage your own territory."
As soon as he said this, Lord Morrow's heart shook violently, and he wanted to agree immediately.
But in the end, I endured it
"Sister, you're right,"
"But I'll have to discuss this matter with Lena."
This is human nature, and it also shows the stability of Baron Moreau.
This kind of person either doesn't agree, and if he does, he can basically rest assured.
So, Rosen smiled and nodded.
"No problem, but I still hope to get a reply soon."
"Because when I go back this time, I will recruit a group of apprentices, and if you are sure, then Young Master George Bernard Shaw will be my chief apprentice."
The chief apprentice, usually the first apprentice to be recruited, will generally receive special attention from the mentor, and if the mentor and apprentice are suitable, they may be promoted to a succession apprentice.
As soon as he said this, a strong sense of urgency suddenly rose in Lord Morrow's heart.
"I'll go talk to Lena right away. Before the boat arrives at Riverside Town, it will surely give you a clear reply. ”
"Go ahead."
Lord Morrow hurried back to the cabin.
After he was gone, Vivien was freer, most of her body leaning on Rosen's arms, her head still nestled on his shoulder.
"Rosen, my brother has a good character, but his personality is as soft as warm water, and if you want him to do things, you have to be urged to go with a whip."
Rosen shook his head: "Vivian, I think this is a sign of a steady and reliable temperament. If he hadn't restrained you, you would have torn down the Moro family. ”
Morrow is too conservative, but Vivien is too unrestrained, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
"Hee-hee~~"
Vivien smiled awkwardly, and asked seriously, "Are you really planning to recruit an apprentice, or are you fooling my brother?" ”
Rosen replied seriously: "I really plan to recruit." ”
After becoming a baron, he is also a lord who is not big or small, and if a lord wants to do things, he can't do it without some cronies.
He carefully explained, "I'm a mage, and a large part of my affairs must be related to magic, but I don't have many trusted magicians. In this regard, it is best to train a few apprentices by yourself. ”
Vivien understood, "That's true. ”
After speaking, she stretched out her hand to hug Lawson's waist and said coquettishly: "Thank you very much for the evil god's business, otherwise I would really be finished." ”
Rosen smiled: "Aren't you afraid of anything?"
"Who said that? I'm scared of a lot of things, it's just that my curiosity always overcomes my fears. ”
After a pause, she said, "There is still some time before we reach the territory, so let's go into the cabin too." ”
As he spoke, the hand that wrapped around Rosen's back lightly circled his thigh.
They are all people who have come over, so they naturally know the subconscious of this small action, but Rosen is not in the mood to do things with his sister on his brother's boat.
"Vivien, convergence, this is your brother's ship, and we're about to reach Dumont's territory."
In case Morrow minded, then Rosen's actions were humiliating him.
The relationship that was so hard to get closer will collapse immediately.
He doesn't spoil what's really important because of a momentary refreshment.
Seeing his firm demeanor, Vivien could only reluctantly give up the little thoughts in her heart.
"Don't worry, I have a way to convince Dumont."
"By potions?"
"That's right, and he definitely needs the potion I refined."
"What is it used for?"
Vivien smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you get to the ground." ”
After another half hour or so, Lord Morrow stepped out of the cabin and gave a clear reply.
"Master Rosen, I've consulted with Lena, and we've decided to let George Bernard Shaw learn spells from you."
Then, Fang Gu Town, an ally, will be completely stable.
When needed, Lord Morrow will firmly support Chabole as Earl, and he will also firmly support him Lawson as Baron Crescent.
Rosen also made a clear promise: "Then, your son, Master George Bernard Shaw, will be my chief apprentice." ”
