Chapter 39: The Alchemy Society

Under the leadership of Rosen, Ye Junwen came to the Alchemy Society in Ledeska City. As I said before, Ledeska City needs the help of the alchemist because it produces beast power pills, so there is a very large branch of the Alchemy Association here, and the relationship between the Alchemist Association and the previous city lord is quite good, and Ye Junwen came here this time to say hello to these people by the way.

After all, he is the lord of the city, and after reporting his home, Ye Junwen soon met the branch president of the Alchemist Association, a man named Thomas, this is a middle-aged man who looks a little fat, said to be an alchemist, and looks more like a businessman, but according to Rosen, this person is currently one of the highest-ranking alchemists in the city, a fifth-level alchemist, and he is already a very big figure in this count.

"This is the Lord of the New City, I am full of admiration for your heroic achievements in suppressing the rebels, and I can't wait to get acquainted with you immediately, but there has been a lot of work here recently, and I can't make up the time, so I didn't expect you to come over in person." Thomas met Ye Junwen very warmly, but the enthusiasm always made Ye Junwen feel that there was something separated, and it seemed that the other party was still a little defensive of himself.

"Oh, I'm looking for you for something, too." Ye Junwen also said politely, before coming in, Rosen said that the background of this Alchemist Guild is still very deep, and it is not good to provoke them. Ye Junwen is not afraid of causing trouble here, but the problem is that the business he wants to develop, the beast power pills sold still have to be made by the Alchemist Guild, and he didn't cut off his supply by provoking them, he wasn't so stupid.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Thomas asked.

"Actually, tomorrow I'm going to have a banquet to celebrate my claim as Lord of the City and the defeat of the rebels. I happened to be passing by here, so I asked if you were available for this banquet. Ye Junwen said with a smile.

"Oh?" The other party was a little surprised, "Actually, someone has already notified me about the banquet, the invitation of the city lord, of course we will participate, and you don't have to come again in person." ”

"No, no, no, I thought about it, I still need to come in person." Ye Junwen said, "After all, you haven't replied yet, I'm here to hear the answer." ”

"Please rest assured, we will definitely attend on time." Thomas said immediately, but to be honest, he also felt a little strange, Ye Junwen came to inform them to participate in the banquet, and someone had already said it before. It doesn't seem like that, there must be something else.

Thomas, for his part, was a little worried. He actually didn't want to have a bad relationship with Ye Junwen, after all, Ye Junwen is now the Imperial Earl, the city lord, although their Alchemist Guild is big, there is no need to get into this kind of trouble, the most important thing is that the Alchemist Guild is not afraid of causing trouble, he is afraid, if he causes trouble, his branch leader position is also staring at it.

So what is Thomas afraid of, in fact, they didn't cooperate with the Taken Chamber of Commerce before, and the Taken Chamber of Commerce was the current traitor, Lei Luo's power, so Thomas was worried about Ye Junwen's matter and came to trouble them. What's the trouble, Thomas's biggest concern is the distribution of benefits.

The Alchemy Association works in this city, of course, it also has to pay taxes to the lord, and there is an interest relationship between them, so what Thomas is worried about is that this not very sensible new city owner will take a reason to talk about things, and then raise the tax rate and the like, which is very annoying, because once the interests on his side are reduced, the money given to the Alchemy Association will also be reduced, and the above will come to hold him accountable, and his position as branch president will not be guaranteed. For Thomas, the best thing to do right now is to keep the situation on both sides the same as before.

"Actually, there's something else." Ye Junwen suddenly said again.

Did it come? Thomas also immediately asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"Actually, it's like this, I want to buy a little high-grade alchemy potion from you, the quantity is not much, just one person needs to use it, I heard that there are a lot of high-grade elixirs here that are not for sale......," Ye Junwen said.

"Oh, that's right." Thomas was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly relieved a lot, the potion is simple, the most important thing they don't lack here is the potion, after thinking about it, he also directly called a subordinate at the door, and then whispered a few words to the other party, and then chatted with Ye Junwen for a while, and soon, this subordinate also came back directly with a small box.

"Lord Castle Lord, speaking of which, I also wanted to personally visit you to celebrate your successful succession to the city lord, but I have never had time, these congratulatory gifts, please forgive me for my rudeness." Thomas also said as he handed over the box.

"Oh?" Ye Junwen nodded directly, I was going to buy it, but now it seems that I don't need it, this branch president seems to be on the road, and I can't do it if I want to give this gift.

The next conversation was more harmonious, and the other party also mentioned the situation about taxation a little, and Ye Junwen only realized what the other party meant at this time. However, at present, they still have a cooperative relationship with the Alchemist Association, as I said before, Ye Junwen doesn't want to provoke the Alchemist Association and cut off his own supply, so of course he won't mess around. Knowing Ye Junwen's idea, Thomas was of course very happy.

Soon, Ye Junwen also left the Alchemist Association with a gift. Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Junwen also looked at the things sent by the other party, and sure enough, when he opened the box, he saw that there were some potions, a total of 10 bottles, judging from the color, it was obviously divided into five types, two bottles of each. Of course, Ye Junwen didn't know any of them, there was a label next to this potion, but the problem was that Ye Junwen couldn't understand it.

Yes, through the ring, he can understand the language here, but the text is not translated by the ring, so he can't read the book here, and he only knows what it means when others read it. However, this Ye Junwen has already begun to learn, if he already knows the meaning, it is relatively simple to learn words, Ye Junwen estimates that it will not take a week, and he should be able to basically understand all the words by himself.

Of course, in the current situation, I can only continue to ask Lawson, but fortunately, Lawson is still very knowledgeable, and quickly told Ye Junwen about the situation of these medicines. First of all, two bottles of high-grade stone skin potion, this one is said to improve defense, anyway...... It didn't work. Then there are two bottles of lion potion, this one is to increase strength, and this one is still a little useful. Then there's the civet elixir, which is said to increase speed, and this one is also somewhat useful. Then there is the fierce poison potion, this is used to throw, it is said that after throwing it out, it can cause a huge poisonous mist, and if you inhale it, it will almost kill ordinary people in seconds, but for people with fighting spirit, the effect is very average, and high-level martial artists can almost ignore these, but for Ye Junwen, this is very suitable. Finally, there are two bottles of freezing potion, which are also thrown out, and it is said that it can cause freezing effects within a certain range, and if you really throw it at someone, the other party may also be directly frozen to death.

Ye Junwen also recorded the effects of these potions one by one, and after thinking about it for a while, these things should be enough to deal with that martial arts master, it seems that he has not been busy in vain this trip.

"I didn't expect the other party to be really generous, these are relatively high-grade potions." Lawson also said.

"'Are these things expensive?' It seems that the Alchemy Association is really very profitable. Ye Junwen said.

"Of course." Rosen nodded, "Last year, one-third of the income of our territory came from the taxes of the Alchemist Association, you can imagine how much the other party earned, this is just a branch, the Alchemist Association is a huge organization with headquarters in the three empires." ”

"That's it." Ye Junwen nodded, and suddenly he seemed to have some thoughts about this alchemist association, after all, the other party still held his own source of goods, didn't he...... Of course, this will be said later, and for now, we can only think about it first.

In short, the problem of the battle seems to have been solved, and Ye Junwen is also ready for everything, just waiting to go back. Time goes back to the present, which is the day the feast begins. On this day, the entire Ledeska City was also full of lights, full of festive atmosphere, since three days ago they knew that Ye Junwen wanted to hold a banquet, the residents of the city began to spontaneously decorate.

Now Ye Junwen's prestige in the city is very high, after all, the previous glorious achievements, the residents have experienced it personally, for them, Ye Junwen is simply a god-like existence, without the blessing of God, it is impossible to defeat the rebels with such a number of troops before. In this world, people who can fight well are the objects of everyone's admiration, so Ye Junwen, the new city owner, is very convinced by everyone.

The main venue of the banquet, of course, is still on the central square, and many people have already come to the square in the morning to start celebrating, but Ye Junwen's appearance will not be until noon. It was still the previous honor guard that opened the way, and soon Ye Junwen appeared on the high platform in the middle of the square again, and he was greeted by the enthusiastic cheers and applause of the surrounding residents.

"Long live the castle lord!"

"Lord of the Castle!"

In the sound of the mountains and tsunamis, Ye Junwen stood on the high platform again, and the scene was somewhat similar to a few days ago, but everyone at that time was still suspicious of Ye Junwen, and now that he has proven himself, the atmosphere around him is completely different.

"Ahem." Ye Junwen coughed slightly, and the surroundings immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Junwen to see what this new city lord was going to say.
