Chapter 4 Transactions and Letters of Recommendation

In the morning, the sun shines on the arms of friendliness from the horizon. The silent market began to come alive. Merchants began to sort out their goods, and residents began to prepare for the day's work. The cacophony woke Henry up. I opened my eyes and opened the window to look at the busy crowd outside the window, and stretched. "A new day begins." Henry muttered to himself, opened the door and walked to the next door.

Pushing open the door, I saw that Cagan was still asleep, and there was no intention of getting up at all. "Ahh "Water Making" Henry made 2 gallons of water, washed up briefly, and went downstairs to have some breakfast.

Seeing the dwarf boss who was busy, he hurriedly said, "Good morning, Mr. Bentley." ”

"Good morning Henry, isn't that drunkard Cagan up yet?" The gnome looked up and replied.

Henry shook his head and said, "No, I'm still asleep in my room." It's been 14 hours, and I don't know how he can sleep so much. ”

Bantri Da Lu smiled and said, "Ha Lu Ha, you must know that there are three problems with the dwarves of Lu Dao. Alcoholic, forging, love to sleep. I wouldn't be surprised that he slept all day. Let's have some cereal porridge in the morning. ”

Henry nodded helplessly. It seemed unlikely that Cagan would have wanted Cagan to take him with him to the market. After a hurried breakfast, I returned to my room, took my money bag with only two gold coins left, a magic scroll I had made yesterday, and three magic scrolls, and went straight to the market.

When she arrived at the market, she saw that Molian had already opened for business, and many adventurers were buying second-hand weapons and armor from her. Because the price of a brand new is generally a third more expensive than here. The businesswoman saw Henry and smiled and said, "Hey, does Henry need anything?" Why didn't Cagan come with you? ”

"Cagan was drunk yesterday and is still asleep. I heard that you have some alchemy raw materials for sale here, and I want to check them out. Henry replied.

Mollian was stunned for a moment and said, "Alchemy raw materials? Oh, there's a few in the Chamber of Commerce treasury. Basically, they are to be transported to Baldur's Gate. You know that there aren't many archmages here to craft magic items and potions. I really didn't expect you to actually make gold, this is a hen that lays golden eggs. Take me a list of what you're going to buy. Henry casually handed over the small piece of paper to memorize the material. Mollian looked at it, and it was basically herbal powder. There are also some potion bottles. As a businessman, it became clear immediately that Henry was going to make potions.

She calculated for a while and said, "Empty potion bottle 1 gold coin, these herbal powders are 200 grams of 10 gold coins regardless of type. Hearing the price, Henry frowned. He only had two gold coins in cash. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Do you buy books and scrolls here?" Then he directly took out the book of common alchemy potions he had purchased at the temple yesterday and the four scrolls he had made.

"Common alchemy potion, 20 gold coins." The businesswoman briefly flipped through and gave a price. Then he carefully opened a few scrolls and said, "Hypnosis, Healing Minor Injuries, and Stone Power Entangled Techniques are 50 gold coins per piece according to the purchase price of Level 1 Divine Spells." ”

Henry thought to himself that the book he had just bought yesterday would be sold today at a discount of half. Sure enough, he is a black-hearted businessman. But it's useless to memorize just a few recipes yourself. As for the scrolls, that's a flat purchase price. Level 1 scrolls sell for 64 gold, which is not much different.

After thinking for a while, he said to the merchant, "Sell them all, and give me 200 grams of each of the other four powders, and 10 empty potion bottles." ”

"Okay, no problem, wait a minute." After saying that, Molian called out to a fellow and told him to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. "Are you interested in being my direct supplier?" The businesswoman asked, her eyes shining at Henry as if she were going to eat him. "No, not interested for now. You know, my spells and alchemy were taught by myself after being simply taught. Not able to become a supplier for the time being. "Henry decisively refused, what he needed now was systematic re-learning, not to become a small businessman.

The businesswoman raised her eyebrows and said, "Self-taught? Then you're really good. Have you ever thought about going to the Mage Tower at Baldur's Gate? ”

Henry was stunned for a moment and said, "Study? That's a really good idea. But the tuition is not low. His interest came suddenly.

Morian said proudly, "Our Chamber of Commerce has trade with Master Tyrantil of the High Fence Fortress, who is not only an archmage but also an excellent alchemist. I can give you a letter of recommendation, but only on the condition that the alchemy items you craft in the future must be given to me first. ”

Henry thought to himself: There is nothing better than having a level 17 spell master be his mentor. There doesn't seem to be a more powerful mage near Baldur's Gate than Tyrantiel. "No problem, deal." He happily agreed.

"Then let's sign a contract, and I'll help you get a letter of recommendation. I have the right of first refusal to buy all the alchemy items you make in the future, and you can only sell them to others if I can't eat them. With that, Mollian quickly took a pen and paper out of his pocket and began drafting the contract. After it was written, Henry had no problem reading the text, and there were no patterns around it. There is no special thickness and bump in the face of the sun. Then sign your name.

"You're so careful, I'm not a devil." The businesswoman pouted.

Henry smiled and said, "Prudence can live long, after all, the devil can change into anything." ”

After Morley installed the contract, he said, "I won't get the letter of recommendation until I go back to Baldur's Gate next month, so you'll have to wait a while." ”

"No problem, I'm going to go with Cagan to complete the commission for Thor's blacksmith." Henry replied.

The businesswoman nodded and said, "I got the letter of recommendation and I brought it to Cagan from the caravan." ”

After signing the contract, the two of them were in a good mood and began to chat casually. It didn't take long for the guy to bring in what Henry had asked for. 10 empty potion bottles in a wooden box. The powder was also wrapped in a cloth bag. "Here's what you want, the remaining 170 gold coins are for you." Molian said as he settled the rest of the gold coins.

After settling the bill, Henry took what he had bought directly to the studio on the third floor of the hotel. Start crafting potions in order. First, the powder is mixed into water according to a certain proportion, and heated under the fire until it boils. Cast a healing on the flask for minor injuries. Then plug the mouth of the bottle with a wooden stopper and set aside to cool naturally. In this way, a bottle of potion for minor injuries is ready. The shelf life of this bottle is one year. After a year, the amount of mana stored in it will be more than avoidable, and the longer it lasts, the less effective it will be. Until it turns into a bottle of poison at its worst. I made three bottles in a row to consume today's magic before Henry stopped. Be prepared to take a break. Looking at the pale green liquid in the bottle, I feel good. After the potion has cooled, carefully place them in the wooden box to avoid collision. After resting, he found that it was already noon, and Henry decided to go for lunch first. Come back in the afternoon to make hypnotic potions.

When he reached the second floor, he passed by Cagan's room and found that the dwarf was no longer there. When I arrived at the bar, he found Cagan eating smoked fish and bread, and of course, a large glass of ale.

Henry looked at the dwarf and said, "Cagan, you're finally up, I thought you'd get drunk for seven days and then go straight away." ”

Cagan smiled and said, "Ha Luha, strong dwarves are not defeated by such a little wine. I could drink a whole vat of ale and cut down a giant without changing my face. ”

"Come on, at most half a bucket will make you look like a giant even a stool." The old dwarf saw that the dwarf began to brag and decisively set off the old bottom.

"Ahem, Henry heard that you went shopping at Morian in the morning?" Seeing that the cowhide was blown through, Cagan decisively began to change the subject.

"Well, I bought some alchemy materials and made a few bottles of healing potions in the morning. After all, the Digger is not an easy character to deal with. I also made a deal with her, and after this adventure, she recommended me to be an apprentice at the High Fence Fort in the name of the Seven Suns Chamber of Commerce. Henry reported to Cagan truthfully.

"The High Fence? That's a really good place. I've been there once, and that damn magic item is ridiculously expensive. A magic war hammer actually costs 4100 gold coins. A piece of magic chainmail costs 18,000 gold. It's simply more lucrative than a robbery. We dwarves can only sell a good weapon for 100 gold coins" Hearing the term "High Fence Fortress", Cagan began to envy and hate.

Henry said to the dwarf seriously: "You must know the Dao, my spells and alchemy are basically self-taught. I don't know anything about the making of magical items, so I want to learn about it systematically. During this time of studying, my mother and sister will ask you to take care of it. ”

"No problem, I was neighbor with your mother Lily when she was a little girl. I watched her grow up, get married, and have children. Little Lina is also a lovely child, although I don't like her always pulling my beard. The dwarf patted his chest and assured Henry.

After lunch, go back to your room. Cagan took a grinding stone from his luggage and began sharpening his axe, arranging his armor and helmet. Wipe carefully to remove the dirt, smooth out the scratches, and then carefully oil. Henry also began to pack his luggage, which the dwarves had helped to pack since his injury. Now that my arm is basically fine, it's time to clean it up myself.

Inside the backpack was a normal light crossbow, with a black hardwood crossbow body that was not wound. In the bag next to it are two bowstrings. The strings are twisted into strands by an unknown animal. The pulling force is not large, and the estimated range does not exceed 100 meters. On the side of the bowstring is a short wooden spear, about 1.3 meters long, very hard, with a long and flat tip and a sharp shape. At the bottom of the look, there are basically some clothes and a bag of 40 crossbow arrows. A small packet of salt and a dagger are used to collect the skin, cut the meat, and eat. Nothing else.

After a brief tidying up, Henry returned to the third floor to finish the last bottle of hypnosis potion. Hypnosis potions are a little more complicated to make, first heating the water to a certain extent and then mixing a certain amount of powder. Set aside to cool and perform a hypnotic spell, then reheat to a boil. While it is boiling, add some alcohol and quickly plug the lid. After cooling, put it together with the healing potion. The bright red color of the bottle will not be confused with other potions.

After all, the hypnotic potion is used by throwing it directly into the middle of the enemy, and the liquid inside the crystal bottle will quickly volatilize into gas after it is broken. Anyone who inhales this gas is as if they were hypnotized.
