With the help of Lilian Luo's magic to make her invisible, and Amiya's military force, Youlan herself was low-key and careful enough, so there were no twists and turns in this shopping trip.
She bought several sets of new winter clothes and a few pairs of silk stockings of excellent texture for herself in one go, and bought a lot of fashion books, emotional novels and other miscellaneous books to pass the time in the following days.
In order to thank Lilian Luo for her help, I bought her sweets, desserts and snacks; of course, I didn't forget Amiya, and bought good fodder for her.
It can be said that he is very careful and good at being a person.
However, Lilian Luo and Amiya didn't feel much about her gift...
Lilian Luo didn't like the things of these little human girls, and Amiya didn't eat grass, so she was blinded by Youlan's good intentions.
Generally speaking, these ten days passed quite peacefully. Gallo's work was not disturbed, and the Morning Star Sect did not come to his door.
And today, Gallo received another piece of good news:
The blacksmith Schachter is back from injury, he can strike iron again, the weapon shop can open again, and Gallo can continue to make money again!
The shop owner rushed to inform Gallo, and the two rushed to the weapon shop together.
In a spare warehouse of the weapon shop, Gallo set about arranging the weapon hardening barrier that had been designed before.
Gallo got a lot of inspiration when designing the optimization plan for the Wall of Sighs before, and later optimized the design of this set of hardened barriers, using some cutting-edge and cutting-edge design ideas.
The biggest advantage of this enchantment lies in its stability, efficiency and automation. It does not require people to guard it all the time. The enchantment can bless up to 20 weapons at the same time. You only need to arrange the weapons neatly, and then activate the enchantment. Half an hour later, These weapons would turn into glittery glow sticks, about the same quality as Gallo himself.
This efficiency is much higher than that of the blessing masters on the market, and it is far beyond the production capacity of the weapon shop. They can't make 20 weapons in half an hour.
This set of barriers has also been left blank, and its attributes can be changed at any time according to needs in the future, adding magic spells other than hardening to weapons, or automatically applying buffs to people to relieve workers' fatigue and allow them to work overtime as much as they want.
At the same time, the remote monitoring function has also been realized, and the barrier can be opened and closed at will within five kilometers, and its operation can be checked.
This function is not practical, but it is a little experimental. Gallo wants to take this opportunity to try out the effect of his newly designed remote switch and monitoring function. If possible, he can apply this function to other barriers in the future. results.
Finally, this enchantment can form a small-scale protective shield in times of crisis to protect people in the weapon shop, but once this function is activated, the enchantment will be damaged after the duration ends, and it is only a one-time emergency.
The weapon shop was an important source of income for Gallo, so he naturally didn't want any accidents to happen to the people inside, especially the shop owner, Blacksmith, and Miss Dark Elf, who were also very kind to him.
But the price of all this is that this enchantment has become very complicated, and it is even difficult for others to understand its function except Gallo himself...
In addition, the consumption of materials will be more serious. If the operation is maintained at full capacity, the gemstones that provide energy will basically need to be replaced once a day, which increases the cost of the shopkeeper.
Moreover, the operation of replacing the energy gems had to be handled by Gallo himself, and no one else could intervene.
But considering that the production capacity of the weapon shop is not that high, the consumption will not be so fast, and only low-quality gems are needed to maintain the operation, and there are not few alchemy workshops in the city of innocence. If you buy in batches, The increased cost is still acceptable.
What's more, the shopkeeper didn't care about the extra cost at all. After listening to Gallo's introduction of the barrier's performance, he held Gallo's hand tightly, and said in a very nasty way:
"Pastor Gallo, you are my angel! The greatest luck in my life is to meet you!"
Gallo got goose bumps all over his body when he heard it.
The shopkeeper then asked seriously:
"Can I buy out this enchantment?"
The buyout means that Gallo can only provide this set of barriers to Shining Sword in the future, and can no longer build it for other stores.
"For the sake of the goddess, how about 20,000 gold?"
The shopkeeper then quoted a staggering amount.
Gallo was stunned for a moment, mosquito coils appeared in his eyes, and he was dizzy...
If he remembered correctly, the head of the Skull Crusher was only worth 2,000 gold. When he first heard the price, he had the urge to sell himself.
But this set of barriers, which seemed very simple to him, was actually equal to 10 selves
Seeing that Gallo didn't speak, the owner seemed to be hesitating, so he continued to propose:
"Of course, the previous agreement will not change. I will still give you 2 gold points for every weapon you bless."
"At the same time, the monthly salary will not be less, and I am willing to pay an additional monthly fee for this enchantment... What do you think of the amount of 500 gold?"
Gallo's current salary is only 50 gold a month, and the rent for this enchantment is equivalent to 10 of him...
The owner even added at the end:
"Of course, it is also my duty as a believer to pay tribute to the benevolent, kind and beautiful goddess Miya."
"What do you think of offering 10% of the shares to the goddess at the winter festival?"
Although faith should not be measured by money, the conditions of the shop owner are really generous...
Not only a one-time large sum of money, but also subsequent monthly income and dividends from shares.
Of course, as a qualified businessman, although the shop owner is quite kind, he will not do business at a loss. He will charge such a high price, naturally because he can earn more by relying on this enchantment.
He has roughly estimated that according to the above conditions, and after excluding all costs, he and Gallo are about 60-40% profitable.
This ratio is absolutely fair, and it can even be said to be too good. After all, Gallo hardly needs to do anything, just replace the energy gems every once in a while, which is probably equivalent to lying down to make money.
And the owner is so generous, probably because he is optimistic about Gallo's prospects, and believes that it will bring higher profits in the future.
Gallo really couldn't refuse, so he could only reluctantly nodded.
The shop owner was overjoyed immediately, and wrote the contract when Gallo was setting up the enchantment.
After Gallo completed the layout and conducted another successful test, he took out a stone slab half the size of a palm, engraved with circles of complicated patterns.
"This is the switch and monitor of the enchantment. You can activate the enchantment by shaking it twice, and it will be turned off by shaking it three times..."
"After the enchantment is opened, if the slate glows, it proves that it is working normally; if it doesn't light up, it means that the battery is out; if it gets hot, it means something is wrong. Come to me quickly."
Gallo introduced the operation method of the enchantment, which is quite simple and easy to understand.
"If you break the slate into pieces, you can activate the emergency mode, and you can hide in the barrier for refuge in times of danger."
Gallo added one last sentence, handing the slate to the shopkeeper.
The shop owner looked at the stone slab, which was about two fingers thick, as if turning his head around. He couldn't help but wonder if he could break it into pieces
Gallo noticed the owner's expression, and comforted him:
"It's okay, this stone is strong, and it can even be used as a weapon for self-defense, so don't worry about it being accidentally broken."
The shopkeeper could only nod dumbfoundingly, and invited Gallo to sign the contract, and the two hit it off right away.
However, the buyout fee of 20,000 gold coins was too much, and it was impossible to pay in cash, so the owner took Gallo to the bank to open an account, and then transferred the money on the spot.
To be honest, this is the first time Gallo has come to a bank in this world, because I didn't use it at all before...
Generally speaking, the style of painting is similar to that of banks on Earth, but the defense is stricter. There are many security guards and guards, but there are few customers, and there are not a lot of grandpas and grandmas queuing up.
The process went smoothly. When the beautiful front desk lady handed the deposit receipt to Gallo, she also attached a small note with the address on it, and she kept giving her a glance.
It's a pity that Jia Luo didn't like this at all, and curiously asked the shopkeeper what this woman wanted
"Hahaha, you are already a young rich man now, and you will definitely be more popular with more women in the future..."
The shop owner said, and mentioned the dark elf lady in the shop:
"But don't you really think about Dora? She's a really nice girl..."
"But she's 300 years old..."
Gallo gave an indefensible answer.
After dealing with these trivial matters, the shop owner hurried back to the shop, while Gallo started to stroll around slowly in the donkey cart.
He is seriously thinking about how to use this large sum of money.
With the 20,000 gold, you can rent a bigger and more beautiful church, and the owner will bear part of the rent, so you can rent it for a long time.
But Gallo didn't want to rent, he wanted to buy.
A devout believer cannot always let the goddess live in a rented church.
But this amount is probably enough to buy the current church, but it is still a little less if I want to buy a bigger and better one.
Perhaps it will be considered after the reward for repairing the Wall of Sighs arrives.
In the end, Gallo went to the market to buy a lot of food...
Fish, meat, vegetables, potatoes, and the donkey cart were so full that Gallo could only go back on foot.
But when he was walking halfway, he was suddenly attracted by a shout from the side of the road.
"Come on! Come on! Come and believe in the stars! Only the morning star on that day can guide us in our true direction..."
"At dusk, there will be a rare holy water blessing ceremony, which can heal your diseases and injuries, and bestow upon you the blessings of the stars. Don't miss it when you pass by..."
The shouter was wearing a black robe with a star-shaped emblem pinned to his chest, and was shouting as he walked, followed by a large group of people.
The missionary of the Morning Star Sect
Gallo became a little interested and followed.
