Chapter 326
The Weiland family, the meeting hall.
Butler Essex reported the ransom offered by Cheng Yu to the patriarch of the Weiland family.
"What? Five hundred thousand gold coins?"
The patriarch of the Weiland family is a middle-aged man with gray curly hair. He wears a dark purple velvet robe with delicate golden patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. Each pattern seems to tell the glorious history of the family.
When he heard that Cheng Yu offered a ransom of five hundred thousand, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Lord Ike, do you want to redeem Master Beverly?" The butler bowed and asked.
From the bottom of his heart, the butler hoped that the Weiland family would redeem Beverly.
After all, he had watched Master Beverly grow up since he was a child and had feelings for him, and he didn't need to pay for the redemption of Master Beverly.
"Forget it, just have another one. It's not a difficult thing."
Ike shook his head and sighed. He knew what kind of character Beverly was.
It's better not to have such an unlearned prodigal son.
"But, Lord Ike, I saw Master Beverly on Bailu Island that day. Master Beverly has changed a lot. Not only has he lost a lot of weight, but he has also developed a spirit of hard work and perseverance."
The housekeeper persuaded, "Before leaving, Master Beverly asked me to tell Lord Ike that it's been cold recently, so remember to wear more clothes and don't catch a cold."
"This..."
Hearing this, the old father's heart softened.
Ike struggled for a moment, as if to make some kind of compromise, and waved his hand helplessly, "Hey~ Let's redeem that bastard."
"Yes, Lord Ike."
The housekeeper smiled faintly.
Three sentences made the patriarch spend an extra 500,000 gold coins.
...
The residents of the new town are all refugees from Shien City, so Cheng Yu named the new town Shien Town and appointed Antoine as the mayor, responsible for managing the residents of the town and running the town's economy.
Cheng Yu returned to his manor from Shien Town and saw that Silufannie was still studying alchemical potions with Melinda. Just now, green gas came out of the alchemical furnace, but now purple gas came out.
Cheng Yu walked over and a strange fragrance came to his face, which was sultry and fragrant, similar to the smell of tuberose. "What potion are you two studying?"
Melinda looked at Cheng Yu with a pair of beautiful blue snake eyes and smiled sweetly, "Teacher is preparing a potion that can strengthen blood power. The steps are a bit complicated."
"Strengthen blood power? There is such a potion?"
Cheng Yu's tone was surprised. The ancestor of the mermaid tribe was the Siren, the messenger of God, and the ancestors of the cat people and snake people were all messengers of God. The blood race was directly born from the blood of God.
If they use potions to strengthen their blood power, wouldn't these tribes be invincible?
Seeing what Cheng Yu was thinking, Silufannie explained, "This potion has limited effects. It can only strengthen those who have awakened the power of their ancestral bloodline. Bloodlines that are too weak cannot be strengthened."
"Melinda and Keo?" Cheng Yu asked.
"That's right."
Silufannie nodded.
"If this alchemical potion is used to strengthen Melinda's ancestral bloodline, won't Melinda become very strong?"
Melinda is Silufannie's disciple, Silufannie is Cheng Yu's wife, and Melinda is also considered Cheng Yu's power.
The power of Bailu Island will become stronger and stronger.
"After strengthening, it will indeed become very strong. Maybe it can turn the snake tail into human legs like the ancestors of the snake people, but..."
Speaking of this, Silufannie looked hesitant.
"But what?"
Cheng Yu saw Silufannie didn't speak, as if there was something unspeakable.
"But I'm a beginner in alchemy, so the success rate of preparing alchemical potions is not high. This alchemical potion requires three very expensive magic materials, which you may not be able to afford."
While speaking, Silufenni extinguished the charcoal fire under the alchemical furnace.
The alchemical formula says that after adding the neutralizer, the color of the gas produced will change from green to blue, but now the gas is purple, which means that this preparation has failed.
"Which three magic materials?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Purple Fire Leaf, God Blood Flower, Ghost Grass."
Silphini said, "Among them, the God Blood Flower is the most expensive. It is said that it is a flower that bloomed from the blood of ancient gods. It costs ten gold coins per plant. Purple Fire Leaf and Ghost Grass are slightly cheaper. Purple Fire Leaf costs two gold coins per plant, and Ghost Grass costs six gold coins per plant."
Hearing Silphini's words about the prices of these magic materials, Cheng Yu looked a little disdainful and said carelessly, "Haha, it's not that expensive. It's less than twenty gold coins in total."
"... It takes thirty God Blood Flowers, seventeen Purple Fire Leaves, and thirty-one Ghost Grass to prepare it once." Silphini added.
Cheng Yu was shocked. "Wow, it's so expensive?"
Silphini failed once, and more than five hundred gold coins were gone. Failed ten times, and five or sixThousands of gold coins are gone.
Such an expensive price, even Cheng Yu felt a little painful.
"I just told you it's expensive, you may not be able to afford it."
Preparing alchemical potions is like cooking, the proficiency is a gradual process, and failures are inevitable in the middle.
Cheng Yu is a little embarrassed. If he asks an alchemist to help prepare this alchemical potion, the success rate will definitely be improved, but the formula of the blood strength potion will be leaked.
This alchemical potion formula is extremely precious, and it is not worth it to leak it.
"The existing magic materials are only enough for this preparation. If it fails this time, we have to purchase them again."
Silufenni pointed to the pot of thick soup in the alchemical furnace. More than 500 gold coins, it was wasted.
Cheng Yu looked at Melinda's green snake tail. Can this thing really turn into legs?
He hesitated for a while, touching his chin, as if he had made up his mind, his eyes became firm, "Little cat, you can go all out, as long as you can help Melinda strengthen her bloodline power, it is worth losing some money."
"Well, take me to Pease Harbor tomorrow to purchase magic materials."
Silver Phoenix also wanted to try again.
"Master Cheng Yu, why are you helping me so much?"
There seemed to be tears flashing in the blue snake pupils, Melinda lowered her head and pursed her lips, feeling a little touched.
"You are Silver Phoenix's apprentice, it is my duty to help you." Cheng Yu said.
"Master Cheng Yu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said you were stingy just now."
Just now, Cheng Yu used a wooden board as a reward. Melinda thought Cheng Yu was a stingy person, but she didn't expect Cheng Yu to be so generous to help her.
This sense of contrast made Melinda feel a little guilty.
[Melinda's favorability towards the host +10]
The system voice sounded in Cheng Yu's mind.
"It's a small matter, don't worry about it." Cheng Yu said.
"Hehe, some human scum is plotting something bad again, and I am too embarrassed to expose him."
At this time, a proud voice sounded on the roof.
Cheng Yu looked up and saw Mei Weier sitting on the eaves, with her legs crossed, and her skirt was full of scenery.
This dragon was like a worm in his stomach, she knew everything he was thinking.
"You dragon need to be punished again."
Cheng Yu rushed to the roof and wrestled with Mei Weier...
