Chapter 81 The money is boundless
Chapter 81 The money is boundless
Located to the west of Feiyu Harbor, the Church family’s territory is only seven or eight kilometers away from Sanggu Territory, so it really doesn’t take long to make the trip.
Baron Church is here too, and will be entertained by his proper guests.
When Ivan took Jushi and Lisa to visit the castle, it felt like they were facing a Shura field, because the two girls disliked each other as soon as they met, and they kept arguing with each other openly and covertly.
"Mr. Ivan, I knew you would be a hero, but I never thought you could capture the giant silver-bone ray alive. Holy Mother! I was so happy when I heard the news. Unlike others, I never felt shocked because I believe that sooner or later you will do something great and become the most eye-catching person."
Lisa stared at Ivan with her beautiful eyes, not hiding the admiration in them at all.
Jiushi agreed, "Miss Lisa is right. I was not far away at the time, but unfortunately I couldn't help much. However, I was able to witness Brother Ivan become a hero with my own eyes. I think I will remember that scene for the rest of my life."
Lisa immediately turned around and glared at her. Their eyes met, and an invisible spark seemed to be intertwined.
Ivan was overwhelmed by the frequent occurrence of such scenes, and he would rather accompany Baron Church instead of Red.
"I have something else to do in the territory. I will come to entertain you later."
After touring the castle, he found an excuse to hand the two of them over to his sister Paddy, and asked Paddy to take them on the tour.
He turned and went to the collection room on the fourth floor. He had now converted the collection room into an alchemy room, and all the alchemy utensils from the past were placed inside.
The territory was in a state of disrepair and everything required money, so selling potions was a good option. Baron Carl's 150 gold coins came in handy, allowing Biman to use them to buy a large amount of medicinal materials. He needed to refine healing potions, antidote potions, red paulownia powder, azure potions, squire-level and knight-level bat secret potions, giant frog secret potions, etc.
He actually wanted to refine nutritional potions, physical strength potions, and ginger summer water, but unfortunately there were no medicinal herbs from the wizarding world here.
This time, Biman was able to return so quickly thanks to Penny's help.
Penny wrote back a letter, and Ivan unfolded it and couldn't help complaining: "She has changed. The young lady has become materialistic."
He asked Pernie to collect the incomplete breathing techniques for him. Pernie asked him for three stamina potions as a reward. She had no reserve of a noble lady at all. She also told him to just let her know if she needed any help.
Pernie attached an important message to the letter: a bottle of stamina potion could be sold for 4 low-grade magic stones.
Seeing this, Ivan's hand holding the letter shook unconsciously, and he read it again to make sure he had not read it wrong.
I didn’t expect that in the wizarding world, pharmacists also have such a promising future!
No wonder Penny reacted so strongly before boarding the ship.
On this road, I have walked far without realizing it. There is a reason why Earl Hobson values me, and this should be the most fundamental reason.
He had been worrying about the tuition fee for the college. Now it seems that it is just a matter of 3 stamina potions. He still has 28 stamina potions. The higher quality Jiangnai Water will probably be more expensive.
He suddenly thought of his deceased mentor Toins. In some ways, Toins was indeed a fair person. No, the generous person might also be Lal, because it was Lal who was in charge at that time.
Ivan missed Toines and Lal Three Seconds.
Thinking of the many physical and nutritional potions left in the laboratory on Lar Island, he felt the urge to go back.
"Forget it. For the sake of the title of the Marichaton family, I will agree to your terms."
Without giving it much thought, Ivan thought it would be a good thing to return a favor, so he wrote a letter to Penny, stuffed it into the bamboo tube on the foot of the messenger bird that Beeman brought back, and walked to the window to release the messenger bird.
Then, he began his own alchemy career. In the afternoon, Lisa returned to the Black Pine Forest Territory with Baron Church, and Jiusiti had no intention of leaving. Ivan let it go, because she had a place to live and a meal to eat.
Ivan continued to work on his own potion. After reaching level 4 in alchemy, refining potions was now a piece of cake for him. Except for the bat potion and giant frog potion that he made for the first time, he never failed to make other potions.
Now, these can hardly bring him any experience points in pharmacy, and it is difficult to get any experience in energy particles.
Just four days later, Penny sent a team, consisting of a carriage towing two carts, led by two knights from the Flying Feather Knights.
Knight Gibbon handed over a thick letter: "Lord Sanggu, this is a letter from Miss Purney. There are things you need in the caravan behind, as well as a gift from Miss Purney."
Ivan followed him and took a closer look. Inside the carriage there were boxes of breathing animal skins, boxes of medicinal herbs, books, ancient paintings, a cage for a messenger bird, and on the rear panel there were statues, crossbows, spears, strong bows, etc.
"Why so many?"
Books, ancient paintings, and statues are decorations to show off a family's wealth. He doesn't know much about this, so Pernie shouldn't send him fakes.
Crossbows, spears, etc. are used to build castle defenses, but he doesn't understand the boxes for medicinal materials, as they are not what he asked for.
"Miss Purney said that since we were going to make the trip anyway, she would bring you a few extra things."
"Give it to Miss Purney for me."
Seeing that Knight Gibbon had no intention of staying long, Ivan gave him the box of stamina potion.
After watching the two knights leave with their men, Ivan opened the letter, which contained a prescription for medicine - a calming potion.
Pernie wrote that the Tranquility Potion was a special healing potion that had the effect of calming the body's restlessness, alleviating pain, and relieving negative symptoms. It might also be helpful in suppressing the power of the curse, so she asked him to help refine it.
So that's how it is. They even have this kind of medicine recipe. He couldn't help but admire the Hobson family's background.
Penny also said that anyone could contact her for cooperation in selling medicines or purchasing medicinal materials. She would send people to do the transactions at their doorsteps, and would definitely not let Sang Guling suffer a loss at the price.
This is worth considering. Ivan did not rush to reply. He turned around and asked people to move things. He then found that they had not taken the carriage away. It seemed that they had given it to him. It was obvious that they were very wealthy.
Late at night, near the Lord's Palace.
Jiushiti stood quietly in the corner waiting. Under the moonlight, she looked like a forest princess who had fallen into the mortal world.
After a while, steady footsteps were heard not far away. Hearing the noise, her face became a little shy and nervous.
She had been feeling really depressed these days. She had dressed up carefully, wearing a different dress every day to make herself look pretty, but the person she was expecting never had any special reaction.
This guy is either staying on the top floor or on the mountain observing something. He comes back late at night every day. When he sees her, he would at most praise her in a bland tone, and that's it. Isn't his expression obvious enough?
Or was I outdone by that Miss Church?
"Jiusiti, ah Jiusiti, how could you be inferior to that little guy?"
"You have no shame, so be it. I don't believe you don't feel anything at all. It's no big deal, it's no big deal—"
Looking at the figure getting closer, Jiushi gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She puffed out her chest, lifted up her skirt, and walked towards the figure in small steps under the moonlight.
