Chapter 128 Procurement

They returned to the rented house of Jia Yimado, the house of the two was on the top of a hill, not far apart, but only about 100 meters away.

The lower part of the house is a brick and stone structure, and the upper part is a wooden structure, with large windows and glass-inlaid windows, which let in good light, much stronger than any castle estate. In recent years, because there has been no war, even the oldest nobles rarely live in castles, and new manors have been built to live, and the castle is a semi-military building, and the windows are rarely opened for defense, so it is dark and damp, and it is not suitable for habitation.

They had seen the house before they bought it, it had two floors, and there was also an attic, the upper floor was four rooms, the lower floor was four servants' rooms, plus a large living room, and next to the house was a small room connected, which was the kitchen and the bathroom. The laboratory is underground, surrounded by bluestone, and because of the magic lamp, it doesn't look dim at all, and it's about the same as a room under the fluorescent lamp.

They came to the laboratory, there was nothing but a few tables, measuring cups, beakers, test tubes, magic stoves, etc., and the mage's experimental equipment was not glass, but natural crystal, because glass could not prevent the overflow of magic, and the potions made from experimental instruments made of glassware would be weaker. The magic stove is about the same size as the alcohol lamp, but it is essential to be able to control the temperature of the flame more precisely, and the amount of fire can be adjusted at will, and these are just the most basic potion making tools. If they want to make the rest of the magic items, they also need to have a small refining furnace for refining small accessories, and if they want to make a table clock, this is also indispensable, but it can be combined with Jiayi's magic furnace, and it is enough to buy only one.

In addition, there is a magic lamp, using magic stone lighting, now the light is a little dim, it is estimated that it is time to replace the magic stone, a standard magic stone to 10 gold coins at least, but can only maintain the magic lamp for less than three months, and there are 5 magic lamps in this laboratory, 15 or 6 gold coins are consumed every month, even if you save a little money, you have to 7 or 8 gold coins a month, thinking of this Jia Yi is a little irritable, the monthly electricity bill is equivalent to RMB tens of thousands, you dare to believe it.

The situation of the two houses was similar, and Kaichi recalculated the funds on his body. I paid a year's rent, because of the discount, plus the erasure of the change, it cost 48 gold, and the shop, which everyone rented together, but it was a lot less, a little more than 11 gold per person per year, and after all the removal, now there are only about 400 gold coins left. Although it is not small, it is a little difficult to purchase experimental equipment, purchase raw materials, and pay tuition fees later. But the good news is that this month will be over, and by next month, there will be a new inflow of authorized funds.

After the statistics, they returned to the Skoll Chamber of Commerce, their Chamber of Commerce does a wide range of business, and there should be corresponding props for sale.

When they arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, they were still received by Hailey, and Jia Yi said: "We have rented a new house, but none of the tools are complete, and the laboratory is empty, do you have experimental tools for sale here?"

"Absolutely. "We have crystal vessels, bird feathers, rune pens, obsidian knives, carving knives of all kinds, and magic refining furnaces for alchemy, pretty much everything. ”

"I don't have anything in my lab, so take me to see the crystal vessel first, and I'll use it later to make potions. After Jia Yi finished speaking, he asked the others, "What about you, first look at the crystal vessel or something else?"

The rest of the people said it didn't matter, they had to see it anyway, Hayley took them out of the door, and came to a store next door that specializes in testing equipment.

Hayley found a waitress in the shop and showed them the crystal utensils, and the waitress took out a set of crystal utensils and said to them: "This is a set of basic utensils, including measuring cups, beakers, distillation flasks, curved neck tubes, test tubes, iron frames, and hoses made of eucommia gum, which are enough to refine ordinary potions." Our crystal is the specialty of the mermaid country by the sea, the texture is tight, there are no bubbles, and there are few impurities, and the shell is treated by our special process, even if it is burned at high temperature, there is no need to worry about breaking. ”

Jia Yi looked at this set of tools, although it is not very complete compared to his own laboratory, but it is not too far behind, his own laboratory tools are mostly made by himself, except for a few things, but it is really not more complete than here, because he himself is lazy, most of the time, it is almost enough to make do with it.

"That's pretty much the same here, but do you have any better?"

The maid said: "The rest are not too much, but there are more types of pot-bellied flasks, jars, evaporation dishes, and test tubes, and even better ones are the ones that the mage has carved a rune circle outside, but this kind of utensils are not used much, if you need it, I can show it to you." ”

This kind of high-end crystal utensils, Jia Yi can't afford to use it for the time being, this has to be a mage who is proficient in rune seal carving to make it, and if you are not careful, it will be broken, so it is worth a lot of money, and you have to use high-end potions. For Jiayi, it is enough to use some basic ones.

Jia Yi asked, "How much is this basic set?"

"160 gold. ”

"Hiss~" Jia Yi took a breath of cold air, this time it was more than a third, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, "Then give me a basic set, give me a few more test tubes, and bring me some medicine bottles, is there a medicine bottle with a wide mouth and a short belly? If so, bring me a few." ”

"Yes, I'll show you if it's suitable. After saying that, the maid went backstage to get the wide-mouthed short-bellied medicine bottle that Jia Yi requested.

Jia Yi asked the rest of the people, "Do you want a set of these potion making tools?"

Ma Duo said, "I'll do it too, my lab is empty." This should be about the same, let's borrow each other's use, and wait until we are a little more comfortable to buy the rest, people here shouldn't all be good at making potions. ”

Yang Xi raised his hand and said, "I'm not good at it, but I'm better at prop making and rune carving." ”

When the maid came back from the bottle, it was about the size of a bowl, with a mouth two circles larger than an ordinary medicine bottle, but only half the height. Jiayi wanted this kind of bottle to be used for ointment, and his ointment had a good hemostatic effect, so it happened to be sold as a special commodity.

In the end, Jia Yi bought a set of basic potions and utensils, and wiped off the odds together for exactly 200 gold, and 170 gold at a discount, and nearly half of the funds were gone.

The maid packed the utensils for them and said, "Leave your address, and we will send them to you." We also have crystal cutlery here, do you still need it?"

"Forget it, I don't have to. Jia Yi weighed his wallet, but he didn't dare to buy it again, crystal tableware is even more expensive than crystal magic utensils, because magic utensils need to block magic performance, and the requirements for the appearance of utensils are not strict, but the crystal tableware first pays attention to the appearance, it needs to be transparent and bright, and there are no impurities of crystal, which is more rare, and if it is an ordinary crystal, it is really better to use glass.

But he was still a little happy to hear that it could be delivered to the door, at least the service attitude was still good, Jia Yi asked Hailey to write down the address while thinking, but a gold coin can hire dozens of coolies for a whole day.

After buying the crystal utensils, Jiayi and the others went to look at the refining furnace used for alchemy, the refining furnace is actually a kind of magic furnace, but it is almost completely fueled by magic power, the temperature is higher, and the use cost is higher. Alchemy here is actually similar to engineering, magic jewelry, magic props, and even as large as a puppet mechanism, which can be counted as the scope of alchemy, so a furnace for smelting metal is very necessary, but the price of the furnace varies greatly according to the size and maximum temperature, the most expensive can reach 10,000 gold, and the cheap one can also cost about 100 gold.

For the refining furnace for alchemy, Yanxi also needed it, and if they wanted to make a table clock, the furnace was indispensable. Originally, Yangxi wanted to share one with Jiayi, but Jiayi disliked that the furnace design here was not good, and the temperature rise was all based on magic power, and he was not satisfied, so he asked the Skoll Chamber of Commerce to send workers back with them to build one, although it was not as portable and mobile as the ordinary refining furnace, but the capacity was larger, the firepower was also stronger, and it could also burn charcoal and coke, and the energy consumption was less, and the magic circle Jiayi designed and carved it himself, which was also cheaper.

As for Yangxi himself, he spent more than 1,000 gold to buy a new furnace and set it up in the laboratory of the Majia family.

Because there were already two furnaces, the rest of the people didn't buy them anymore, and everyone staggered to use them, which was almost enough. After this purchase, Jiayi's own money was almost insufficient.
