After verifying that the potion was okay, Eliza poured an entire large bottle of potion into each of the smaller bottles.

The vial was about 100 milliliters, and a large vial of potion was poured into twelve small bottles. Except for Fang Qiuling, everyone was given two bottles.

After being infected by Mana, the effect of the energy potion is undoubtedly amazing, and it can be seen from the red light on Old Tom's face now.

"Thulick, this potion is too bad to drink! Are you sure it's an energy potion? ”

Old Tom's face was flushed, and his eyes were shining, and it was clear that the effect of the potion was fully manifested.

"Is there something wrong? I see you're excited......"

"You bullied me for not drinking energy potion? Can energy potions have such a strong effect? That's right. Old Tom pulled a bottle out of his bosom, "Look, look, this is the energy elixir." You're supposed to be the more powerful one, what's it called......"

"Advanced Energy Elixir? Elixir of Valor? You've just seen the potions. Do you think Eliza and her friends can refine high-grade energy potions? Impossible. ”

Fang Qiuling did not hesitate to deny Old Tom's suspicions. He took Old Tom's bottle, poured a little out of it on the back of his hand, and put it in his mouth, frowning.

"You're not diluted?"

"No, this bottle is sold among the Adventurers' Guild. I didn't mix it with water. ”

"It felt like at least half of the water had been added, maybe a one-to-one or one-to-two dilution of the potion. It's about the same as your chili oil soup. ”

"What!" Old Tom was directly shocked, his face was flushed and his hair exploded like an angry white-haired baboon, "Those stinky boys dare to fool me with the water-mixed potion!" ”

When Fang Qiuling heard this, he immediately understood.

The purity of the energy potions sold by the Adventurers' Guild is insufficient. The black-hearted seller dilutes the finished energy potion with a large amount of water, so that one bottle of the potion can be sold as two, or even three or four bottles.

"Dad, you can't be this kind of seriously mixed goods that you have been buying for so many years, right?" Fang Qiuling expressed sympathy for Old Tom's plight, but there was nothing he could do about it, "Hehe, I can only say that you have met a profiteer. ”

"The next time I go to the Adventurers' Guild, I'm going to hammer that dwarf's brain flat!"

The guy who sells potions in the Adventurers' Guild is a short man who is only one meter two tall. The dwarf does not seem to have a name, and everyone calls him "Four Fingers" because the thumb of his right hand was chopped off in his early years due to theft. This guy isn't a halfling, not a dwarf or some other race of petty humans, but a human through and through. The reason for being only one meter two is that he was born with dwarfism and has not grown taller since he was ten years old.

The reason why Fang Qiuling knew this guy was that there were several tasks related to him - all kinds of debt collection tasks, either entrusted by the creditor to beat him up, or entrusted by the creditor to take his dog's life. After coming and going, I remembered this short man who knew a few alchemy, but he didn't put his mind on how to refine the potion, but thought about how to gamble and turn over the money all day long.

"Daddy, it's not me who excuses the dwarf who sells fake medicines. If you really talk about it, you can only admit it, and don't go to that dwarf to buy it in the future. Don't look for that dwarf, it's probably a nose to go and look for it. ”

I don't know if it's because the potion is too strong, or because of the anger, Old Tom's appearance looks a little scary. And Fang Qiuling's words after that made him even more furious, as if he had eaten some kind of big tonic supplement.

"Why!"

"Can those die-hard guys in the Adventurers' Guild not know that the dead dwarf sells counterfeit medicines? Surely they all know. Will this bunch of dead money-seeking guys speak for you? Definitely not. They're all in a group, and it's polite not to blow you out. ”

Old Tom touched his face and stopped talking.

It's not that he doesn't understand this truth, but he is just on the fire, and he will be angry for a while.

"Anyway, you won't buy it again in the future, and you will go directly to Eliza in the future. It is estimated that Eliza is not good at 'activating' the potion, but even without the step of Mana infection, refining the potion that comes is better than that of the dead dwarf. If you use it yourself, or do some kind of training, it will definitely be enough. ”

"Alas......"

Old Tom didn't have much else to do but sigh.

Fang Qiuling immediately turned his gaze to Eliza: "Eliza, the refining of the energy potion, from the selection of herbs at the beginning to the dilution of the penultimate step, do you still have any questions?" ”

"No more! Brother Thulick! ”

Only during class will Eliza call Fang Qiuling a teacher, and at other times she will always call her brother. Because she didn't want to be just a student of Fang Qiuling!

"Don't be in such a hurry to answer so quickly, you are thinking about it, think about it and then tell me."

The ears on the top of Eliza's head suddenly drooped, and the little cat woman dragged her cheeks and began to think seriously.

"Mr. Hadna, I thought ...... Greetings to you as the owner of the Agarwar Valley estate. Fang Qiuling used a formal greeting and saluted Old Tom's chest, "May the emerald steps be held high, and may the ivy be evergreen." ”

Old Tom had just suppressed the anger and was pouring wine into his mouth, when he saw Fang Qiuling's solemn face, and he saluted him with something special, and suddenly became alert: "Viscount Norn, what do you have to say?" ”

As he became alert, Old Tom immediately noticed Fang Qiuling's self-proclaimed identity - the owner of the Agarwar Valley Manor.

In the valley of Agarwal, old Tom knew him well, and Eliza's village was in the valley. But I had never heard of a manor house in the valley. Where did the manor come from? Also, when did Thulick, the stinky boy, become the owner of the Agarwal Valley Manor?

"I vouch for you in my capacity as Viscount Norn to make an offer to you."

- An agreement is an expression of intent by one party to propose contract conditions to the other party for the purpose of concluding a contract, hoping that the other party will accept it. It is often used when a merchant places an order.

Old Tom lives in Lakesprings all year round, so he is no stranger to the process of merchant trading. But this is so good, why did he suddenly remember to do business? Judging from the meaning of claiming to be the owner of the estate in the Agarwar Valley just now, Thurik means to make an offer on behalf of the Agarwar Valley, what is the situation?

"Viscount Norne, what are your intentions?"

"I would like to sell you the Energy Elixir refined by the Agarwal Cat Charm Clan at a price five tiers higher than the cost price, which is no less than a standard unit per month. I wonder if Mr. Hadner will be able to eat it? ”

Not only was Old Tom stunned when he heard this, but Eliza, who was thinking next to him, couldn't help but turn her head.

"Brother Thurik, this—this is ......"

Fang Qiuling's voice was very gentle: "The profit from selling herbs directly is too low, you have worked hard for more than a month, and the food you get in exchange is only a little." In the future, I will sell the energy potions, and the herbs produced in the valley will be digested as much as possible. Eliza, do you have any questions about the complete refining process of the potion and the related herbal ratios? ”

Eliza was stunned for a moment, and the originally drooping ears immediately stood up straight: "No, no problem, no problem at all!" ”

- There must be no problems! In the future, whether the old and young in the village can eat meat or bran vegetables will depend on this craft!

The kitten charm, who hadn't slept around, also sat up. The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and although they are not very old, they all know very well what kind of good life the village can live if the village changes to energy medicine in the future.

"Mr. Hadner, will you accept this offer? The quality of the potions produced in the valley is better than what can be bought on the market, and the price is only five layers higher than the cost, which should be a very good price. Even if the army has a large-scale purchase order, it should not be able to get a more favorable price than this price. ”

Fang Qiuling's meaning should be...... Old Tom pondered - buy him the potion, and he will resell it?

After thinking about it for a while, old Tom felt that he had no idea, so he had to ask, "Shulick, what is your boy's idea?" ”

Fang Qiuling raised his eyebrows: "Dad, have you forgotten that you still have a ......?"

"Hiss......"

Old Tom gasped. To be honest, if Fang Qiuling hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it. As a member of the Mercenary Training Corps, he also has the identity of an agent, an agent in the service of the royal family of Karthas.

"There's money every year, and there's a budget for purchasing magic potions, right? The list of energy potions is covered by the Agarwar Valley, how about it? ”

"Oh! It turns out that you played with this idea. Old Tom suddenly realized, he touched his beard and thought for a moment, "It's not impossible...... OK! I think it's fine. How much does it cost? ”

Old Tom gestured five fingers to the palm of his hand. Fang Qiuling shook his head and pressed four fingers.

"That's it."

"Can the price be so low?"

Old Tom thought it was a little incredible. Even the price of five fingers in the palm of a hand is much cheaper than the loose sale in the adventurer's guild. There is a difference of almost three to four times. Note that it's three to four times, not three to four percent!

"Yes, it's that low. The potions prepared by the alchemist are usually estimated at about five times the price of the raw materials, and then raised by 20% as the labor cost. Fang Qiuling explained, "The herbs in the valley are all collected by themselves, and the cost is very low. There were many times when the herbs were starting to rot and spoil, but the caravan had not yet arrived. Every transaction is just a bad, wasted herb...... Eliza, how many are there? ”

"It's almost half......" Eliza's mood couldn't help but be a little low at the mention of this, "every time I lose half and sell half." If it can be made into energy potions, everyone in the village will be able to eat to their heart's content! ”

"Some herbs need to be fresh, and some herbs need to be dried before they can work. The ones that were sent to the town were sun-dried products that could not be sold for much price. However, if you refine them into magic potions, the price can be doubled several times! ”

Old Tom's four fingers flicked again: "Okay, I don't have a problem. That's it! ”

"This number? Daddy, are you sure? The price can be lower. Fang Qiuling raised his index finger, "You are also your own person, you don't need to be so outsider." ”

"No, no, no." Old Tom shook his head again and again, "This is business, and business should be done." The price is already very good, at least five tiers cheaper than the original black-hearted guy. What about this yield? If the production is good, I can take down all the purchases of the Foggy Cavalry! Oh, by the way, the reserve potions for militia training are almost ready to be procured. How about it, can you take the amount of these two parts? ”

Fang Qiuling shook his head slightly: "The amount of Wuxi cavalry, it is definitely not possible at this stage." After a month, after getting familiar with it a little more, it shouldn't be a big problem after the efficiency comes up. As for the reserves for the training of the militia...... I can do this in an overtime shift. ”

"Hmm! So let's say so? ”

Old Tom took the initiative to extend his right hand. It was originally an offer proposed by Fang Qiuling. But after knowing Fang Qiuling's purpose and intentions, Old Tom was more active. Because this is for the welfare of the cat charms in the valley, it must be vigorously supported!

"Okay! That's it! ”

Fang Qiuling also stretched out his right hand.

The two hands are clasped together, indicating that the offer has been fulfilled.

"Alright, stinky boy. Now that we're down to business, it's time to talk about the personal. Old Tom exerted force in his hand, and directly grabbed Fang Qiuling's hand and didn't let go, "Say, what's going on with the Agarwar Valley Manor?" What's going on, are you doing some dirty deal again! ”

The Agarwar Valley is not a good place. It is far away from the main trade routes, so it is not very convenient to get to and from it. The valley is rugged and has very little land available for farming. Aside from low bushes, rabbits running around, and a few common herbs that barely count everywhere, there is nothing special. Therefore, no nobleman took a fancy to it and asked the king to divide the feudal feud with this.

Territories are closely related to the titles of nobles. A territory with fertile soil can give birth to a viscount with enough voice after two or three generations of hard work. After several generations of Viscount's business, becoming an Earl will no longer be a dream. Under normal circumstances, the strength of the territory only depends on whether the lord's castle is majestic and whether the manor is gorgeous.

The Kingdom of Karthus adopted a feudal system. The royal family of Karthus can be the largest lord in the kingdom, and the dukes and marquis are the second largest lords in the kingdom after the royal family. Although the laws of the kingdom require the lords to work together to contribute to the prosperity of the kingdom. But the law itself was made by the royal family in order to consolidate its own power, and it was often blind to land annexation and mutual conquest among nobles.

The Agarwal Valley in the Borderlands is now dubbed the word "Manor". It means that the noble nobles obtained the ownership of this land and became the lord of Agarwal.

- Viscount Ishullik V. Norn, this guy can't be you!
