While the players in Pimple Beach were preparing for a head-on attack against the Secret Eye Society, there was also an undercurrent in the city of Lancaster, a hundred miles away.
Black Ferret Street is an inconspicuous street on the southwest side of Lancaster City, near the outer part of the city wall.
But knowledgeable people know that this is the location of the largest black market in Lancaster, and the No. 58 gold-encrusted rose is even more famous. It is contraband that can be brought from all over the place.
Therefore, gold-encrusted roses are also known as the shop where "as long as you have money, you can buy anything".
However, few people know that Ao Fankent is actually a follower of Sosos, the God of Herbs and Poisons. This second-hand dealer started his business by selling potions that are much cheaper than the holy water of various churches in his early years.
The 'God of Herbs and Poisons' is a subordinate god of the Alchemy God, probably at the same level as the Skeleton God, and much stronger than Xi Wei, a god who has just stepped into the third rank.
It's just that Sosos, like its superior God of Alchemy, never gets involved in the grievances and hatreds of other gods. In addition, as long as there are people in this world who collect herbs and refine poisons, they don't have to worry about their own existence disappearing. , so it’s basically a dead house that doesn’t show up very much, and there are not many believers on the ground...
But the fact that a god is a salty fish does not mean that its believers are also salty fish like it, and Ao Fankentmanega is obviously one of the representatives.
Taking advantage of the fact that there are not many believers in the God of Herbs and Poisons, he easily gained a high status in the sect, took over the operation of the entire sect, and established his own chamber of commerce and merchant network.
Originally, as long as he manages well, maybe he can become the richest man in the Eastern Continent.
However, the world is not economically savvy and can do whatever it wants. It is easy to offend other people’s interests by spreading out one’s own channels to do business on a large scale. When you encounter some tyrants who are too lazy to talk to you, but are powerful and even powerful. Old tempered brother, Ao Fankent didn't even have time to pass the cigarette to the other party to apologize, but he was directly blown up by the spring water, and finally he could only run to Lancaster in desperation, surviving on the black market...
Fortunately, the management in the early years was not in vain. Relying on the sect of the God of Herbs and Poisons to continuously supply various cheap medicines, coupled with mature supply channels, Ao Fankent is still doing well now, with large sums of money every day Income. Among all the potions, the 'Life Potion' that can heal the pain and the 'Energy Potion' that can clear the mind and restore the spirit are the best sellers.
It's just that in the past two days, Ao Fankent found that his medicine seems to be a little slow.
Seeing that the hen laying golden eggs was constipated, he naturally couldn't remain indifferent. He had already asked Lancaster's best mercenaries to help him investigate this matter.
Two days passed in a flash, and that day Ao Fankent was yawning in the store when the doorbell suddenly rang.
He looked up and found that the person who opened the door was a hunchbacked young man in a thick black leather jacket and a mouse fur felt hat on his head.
"Raon, do you have any clues about the matter that I asked you to investigate?" Ao Fankent asked the other party with bright eyes.
While brushing off the snowflakes on his body, the young mercenary smiled habitually and said, "That's natural, otherwise I would have no face to come to Mr. Manega!"
Then the young man straightened his face, sat on the chairs prepared for the customers in Aofankent's store, and said carelessly: "According to my investigation during this period, there are two kinds of medicines and Mr. Potions with similar effects are sold cheaper than yours, and quickly seized your original market."
As he spoke, he took out two small bottles from his black leather jacket. The small bottles contained two potions, one red and one blue. If you looked closely, you could see fine bubbles constantly bubbling from the potions.
"Here, these are the two types." The mercenary youth named Laon said, "The red one is called 'one-time single-use miniature tactical healing potion', referred to as Coca-Cola, which is equivalent to a life mixture, and can heal to a certain extent within a few seconds. pain, but it is ineffective against curses, diseases, and poisons. The blue one is called 'Consumable Single-use Mini Spirit Recovery Potion', referred to as Pepsi, which is equivalent to energy potion, but it is not very useful for ordinary people, but it is very popular with those magic potions. Teacher's pursuit."
"...Why do I always feel that the full name doesn't match a word?" Ao Fankent muttered.
"Well, it seems that the person who sold this potion said, 'This is how the item description is'... I don't know the specific reason." The mercenary youth replied.
"Hmph, grandstanding."
Having said that, Ao Fankent still has some ideas in his mind: No wonder the Chongbai Church, which sells holy water, did not respond to this matter, because the effect of this potion is too limited, even worse than the life mixture , Naturally, it will not impact the high-end market of holy water; as for the blue potion, it is normal that mages will be sought after. Originally, ordinary people do not have much demand for energy potions, and only magicians who spend a lot of money will purchase this potion in large quantities.
Ao Fankent took the medicine and put it on the cabinet, then found out his own crystal single-sided glasses and put them on, and then looked carefully.
As a senior believer who is only one step away from the archbishop of the god of herbs and poisons, he himself has the ability to detect medicinal materials, and the monocle mirror sandwiched between the bridge of the nose and the eye socket is also a prop for amplifying the magic.
But the strange thing is, no matter how he used magic on these two bottles of potions, the conclusions he came to were very strange.
The feedback of the red potion is 'Medison Grass, Honey, Water', and the blue potion is 'Manna Flower, Honey, Water'.
Madison Grass and Mana Hua Ao Fan Kent do know.
Medicinal herb is a kind of herb with hemostatic and analgesic effects. It belongs to the most basic herbal medicine knowledge. It is found in most medical medicines. Mana flower is similar to mint, which is good for refreshing and A slightly helpful plant to increase meditation efficiency.
Not to mention honey and water.
But when these things are mixed, it is just an ordinary herbal medicine soaked in honey water, it is impossible to become a medicine with special abilities...
"What are the prices of these two medicines?"
In the end, he could only take off his glasses and ask the mercenary youth.
"Both potions cost 150 Lien a bottle." Laon replied.
"It's not much cheaper," Ao Fankent frowned and muttered, "How come so many people buy it..."
According to the consumption habits of ordinary people, when the price and quality of two products are not much different, they will generally choose to buy the one they often use. So in theory, it is impossible for this drug to squeeze out its market share so quickly.
"Because..." The mercenary youth seemed to feel a little nervous, and he whispered: "It is said that this is delicious."
"tastes good?"
Ao Fankent frowned, opened the blue potion in it, and first went up to smell it. After he didn't smell any strange smell, he simply swallowed it in one breath, and then shot it. A long hiccup.
Combined with the refreshing effect of the blue potion, Ao Fankent's expression was happy, with a look of 'cool! ' look.
But then his face suddenly turned ugly.
The taste and taste of this potion are great, and the effect is also good, no wonder it will have an impact on its own market. Moreover, it is very difficult for me to imitate it. Although the taste can be simulated by other herbs, it is difficult to reproduce the refreshing taste of the bubbles. Even if it is really done, the cost is estimated to skyrocket.
You know, the other party is selling it cheaper than you. If you increase the price for the sake of taste, you will undoubtedly sacrifice everything and seek your own death.
It can't go on like this!
Thinking of this, Ao Fankent beckoned to the mercenary youth: "I have a new job to entrust to you..."
