A week later, three freight carriages transporting Claude's customized furniture arrived at the forest farm. Xioli and his wife also came to watch the fun. Xioli asked Claude in confusion why he bought these furniture and whether the thick square table was used as a dining table.
Claude smiled and answered him that he was going to set up a study room in the wooden house to store some of the books he purchased. The weather is getting colder and colder. Sometimes it is too late to go to the pharmaceutical laboratory to read, and it is troublesome to go back to the cabin. So I might as well get my own study room, so that I can stay at home and read without leaving home. As for the large square table, it is placed in the study room to store maps or large paintings and calligraphy. These things cannot be placed on the desk.
The Sioli couple went back angrily, maybe they would secretly scold Claude for being poor and particular. It would cost at least five silver thalers to buy these furniture, which was almost two months of Claude's salary. The total monthly salary of the couple at the forestry farm is less than three silver thalers. Sioli's monthly salary is one silver thaler and five riyals, while his wife, Aunt Lanxi, only earns one silver thaler a month. Two riazos.
For Mrs. Maria, the couple lived in the forest farm for their retirement and used the forest farm to run their own chicken farm. If it weren't for the fact that their children were close to his brother, he wouldn't have let them stay in the forest farm. Paying them a salary every month is already considered very benevolent.
Claude did not waste these seven days in vain. He spent noon and after school scanning the open-air markets and grocery stores in Bailu Town, purchasing all the raw materials and equipment he needed for his experiments. The name of the loan was also to replenish test materials for Madam Maria's pharmacy laboratory, but it did not attract anyone's attention. It's just that his funds were consumed relatively large. Except for the remaining nine Sullivan gold coins, almost all his other savings were used up.
Another thing was just as he expected, he hadn't heard any news about a murder in the Mermaid Tavern this week. Even Erikson, who was known as the know-how on the pier, didn't know about such a thing. The bearded man named Edmig disappeared silently in Bailu Town, leaving no trace.
During this period, Claude also went to the grocery store of Julian, a fat old man, with Erikson and Verricro, ostensibly to buy maltose for his brother Booker. Julian didn't recognize Claude as the masked young mage. He was chatting and laughing with Erikson, and he introduced the various goods in his store very enthusiastically.
Of course, the secret room was not entered, but there were two or three rubbish magic items placed on the shelves outside. The fat old man boasted about these rubbish magic items and succeeded in swaying Erikson. But the price ended up being too high, and Erikson had no money to afford it.
Several workers who came with the freight carriage moved the furniture into the innermost room on the first floor of the wooden house that Claude had cleaned. They arranged the furniture one by one according to Claude's requirements and installed it with refractive cloth. After Claude checked the curtains and door curtains, each of them took three sunars and left happily.
After Claude and others left, he took a rag and cleaned all the furniture. He took in all the experimental raw materials he bought this week and rearranged them properly. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, and we can finally set up the alchemy magic array at night.
The night at the forest farm is very quiet. It's only about eight o'clock now, and the town is still very lively. But at the forest farm, the Sioli couple are already ready to have a rest. For them, the later they sleep, the more expensive they are, and so is the lamp oil. Use money to buy it. They were not a prodigal like Claude. He could read until midnight in one night, and the lamp oil consumed was enough for the two of them for a month.
Claude stood on the platform of the second floor of the wooden house and watched the lights in the shed built next to the chicken farm on the hillside not far away go out. After taking a short rest in the evening, he went up to the platform to practice meditation. Being in the forest farm was much better than being in the attic of his big red brick house. No one here disturbed him from practicing meditation and learning magic.
{} Rifts of dark blue smoke gradually rose above the grooves of the Star Sand, and the smoke slowly connected into a piece above the magic stone slab. When the sky star sand in all the grooves started to smoke, Claude stopped inputting magic power and stood quietly waiting for the dark blue
