Chapter 967: Martial Law
"Of course I do! The problem is that I didn't put the bottles away at all. Alfie's face was full of remorse, he knew that those potion bottles were useful, and he shouldn't have thrown them on the ground so heroically. But then again, he didn't even have a chance to recycle the flasks at the time, but Alfie was now full of silver coins that those flasks had been exchanged for, and he didn't even realize that.
"Hehe, your teacher has thought of this a long time ago, she has already put away those potion bottles and handed them to me. Willie seemed to enjoy Alfie's remorse, and he pulled out a common storage bag that anyone could view for trading, and handed it to Alfie, "You count it, and there are a hundred and twenty potion bottles in total. ”
"One hundred and twenty!" Alfie was taken aback, he had drunk so many physical potions last night, no wonder he would produce such a large amount of potions! It was really hard for his stomach to be able to hold so many potions! Alfie subconsciously touched his stomach, why did he suddenly feel a little stomach pain? It must have been last night.
"According to the normal market price, one hundred and twenty empty potion bottles should be twelve......," Willy said this, but was interrupted by Alfie.
"Twelve silver coins! Deal!" Alfie was fully hopeful that among those silver coins, this had already set a new record for the amount of silver coins in his purse, and at least the money to hire a carriage to go to the Academy of Magic was gone.
Alfie, who was completely immersed in his own imagination, did not notice the surprised expression on Willy's face, and if he had known what Willy was thinking at this time, he would definitely jump from this attic.
Willy's mouth opened wide in surprise, he was talking about twelve gold coins. After all, these empty bottles were all from Master Madison. As the former president of the Royal Apothecary Guild and the top pharmacist in the continent with the most promising prospect of becoming a Sanctuary pharmacist (at the time), Madison was very particular about everything he used.
These empty flasks are all made from the finest crystals, and if they hadn't been used, they'd be worth more than a gold coin each!
Willy was just about to correct Alfie's offer when he suddenly thought of what the girl had said to him after she left: "This boy is seriously inexperienced, and if he does something stupid in his daily life, don't remind him, let him do two hard heels and he will remember it for a long time." ”
Now that she thinks about it, the girl seems to have expected Alfie to make such a low-level mistake, and told Willy what to do in advance. In other words, this way of educating her disciples is really her unique style.
Thinking of this, Willy swallowed the words he was going to tell Alfie the truth back into his stomach, anyway, the left pocket went out and the right pocket went in, so he thought it was to help Alfie save money, so that this inexperienced guy would squander all the money after he went out.
Thinking of this, Willy felt that the guilt in his body had eased a lot, so he slowly counted out twelve silver coins and put them in the hands of Alfie, who was full of anticipation.
'Well, I'm still too soft-hearted. Willie sighed as he watched Alfie put away the twelve newly minted silver coins without taking it seriously. At the normal rate, twelve newly minted silver coins could be used as fifteen ordinary silver coins, but the elated Alfie seemed to have completely failed to notice this little "favor" that Willy had given him.
"Now that I've got the money, could you please help me hire a carriage?" Alfie shook a silver coin at Willy, "One silver coin is enough for you to help with this, right?"
Willy looked at Alfie, who looked like a villain, and was speechless for a while, this guy really lacks experience, does Alfie think that the relationship with him is such a naked, naked money relationship?
In fact, Willie had wronged Alfie, if it weren't for the fact that he had been emphasizing that he was a businessman, I am afraid that Alfie's character would be reluctant to take out a silver coin to "hire" him! You must know that Alfie is the kind of character who can brush his face and never pay for it.
"I refuse. Willy, who didn't know the truth, decided that it would be better to give Alfie a necessary "reminder".
"Why? Aren't you a businessman?" asked Alfie, taken aback.
"Even though I'm a businessman, I've never done anything illegal. Willie replied solemnly.
"Did I hear me wrong?, how did it break the law to help hire a carriage?" Alfie thought Willy was deliberately making things difficult.
"You don't know. Yesterday you made too much noise, and although no one interfered at the time, today the entire imperial capital has entered a state of martial law. All public carriages are closed to business today, and even private carriages are subject to strict scrutiny by the Imperial City Guards. Willy said as he opened the curtain in the attic and pointed out.
"You must be kidding, right?" Alfie let out a wail, was she really going to let him walk to the Academy of Magic?
"Do I have to lie to you?" Willie glanced at the pale Alfie, "You can see the tension outside." ”
"What are the Imperial City Guards doing?" Alfie asked.
"Where do I know? But I'm sure it's a gesture, and it's a bit of a deterrent. Willy shook his head, obviously not optimistic about this behavior of the city defense army.
"Shock what?" asked Alfie, puzzled.
"Of course, it's to deter those with bad intentions. Willie gave Alfie a meaningful look.
Alfie had a stumbling moment in his mind, and only then did he notice that he had forgotten about the metal skeletons and the control beads. If there's anything suspicious about last night's ritual, it's the metal skeletons that are the most suspicious. Thinking of this, Alfie secretly touched it in her arms, and found that the mother bead that controlled the beads was indeed still in her arms. He hurriedly put the mother bead into the space ring, and only then did he feel a little relieved, as long as he didn't admit it, no one should associate the metal skeleton with him.
However, to Alfie's slight disappointment, the Bloodflame Rose was missing, presumably taken by the girl while he was unconscious.
"Then I'll have to walk to the Academy of Magic?" Alfijon asked with a smile. He didn't want to continue the discussion with Willie on this topic, that would be a shame. Although Alfie wasn't sure if Willy was aware of the existence of the metal skeletons.
"Forget it. Since she arranged for you to go to the Academy of Magic, then I can help you a little. Willie saw Alfie get up from the bed with vague steps, and couldn't help but relent.
"Didn't you say you would never do anything illegal?" Alfie asked curiously, and she hated to give herself a mouthful. Willie finally relented and agreed to help, didn't he say this to his own end?
