The frost and snow elves were sent to this city as 'slaves'. Although the number of people was still interrogated according to regulations when entering, the elves had dressed themselves up as no different from high elves in advance. The person responsible for interrogation and verification The officials did not find anything unusual and allowed Sephiroth and others to enter the city. However, the elf slaves had to pay a considerable business tax when they entered the city.
Tangier is a quasi-senior pharmacist master and an 11th-level mage. Lelouch temporarily arranged the accommodation for the elf pharmacists and immediately accompanied Tangier to the pharmacy workshop to check the situation. In a city area not far from the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, in a warehouse disguised on the surface, the pharmacy workshop built underground can be reached through a special teleportation circle. A large number of brand-new alchemy equipment and mixing tables have been prepared, and complete supporting living facilities have also been built. Considering that elves are closer to nature, Lelouch also specially asked people to open up a small garden in the warehouse. Yu let the elves rest.
Of course, in terms of security, Lelouch entrusted Gus to hire many guards with high salaries in the free city. Guts, who was a mercenary, naturally had a unique vision and selected many capable warriors. Those who were not useful were eliminated. Lost. Just in case, Lelouch naturally used geass on these new guards, ensuring that they would never reveal the secrets here.
Tangier is quite satisfied with both the environment and the facilities. In terms of production capacity, this workshop can accommodate fifty pharmacists working at the same time. Even if one person only prepares ten bottles of medicine a day, it can produce about 500 bottles a day.
Of course, this output is not fixed depending on the grade and purity of the medicine and the proficiency of the pharmacist. Among the sixteen frost elves who came from Ulduar City this time, they can prepare about twenty bottles of the most common high-level healing potion a day, and Tangier, a senior master, can achieve this. The daily production quantity is thirty bottles, if it is other more advanced potions such as magic recovery potions. Tangier can prepare about fifteen bottles of petrifying potions, psychotropic potions, strength potions, etc. every day. Although it is not comparable to the terrifying production capacity of 7,000 bottles per day of the Pharmacists Association, the quantity that can guarantee the daily production of 300 bottles is already extremely terrifying for a just-started pharmacy workshop.
"What do you think, Mr. Tangier?" Lelouch asked after showing Tangier around.
Tangier nodded firmly: "It's perfect, Sir Lelouch. I can't wait to start working."
After the pharmacists arrived, Alisa also started to move quickly to deliver the various materials that had been prepared into the workshop. The elf pharmacist also started working immediately after making slight corrections. Everyone was working hard at the end. Get familiar with your work environment quickly. Tangier also asked Lelouch for some magic crystals and set up several illusion wards and detection wards to further ensure safety.
Tangier insisted on staying and continued to arrange the arrangements. On the way back, only Lelouch returned to the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce. It was almost evening. In the chamber of commerce, in addition to the busy Alisa, Liu Tao also sat casually in Lu Luxiu. Lu Xiu was looking through some account books in his office, and the blue cat still stayed beside him, playing with some small equipment in his hands.
"You're back~ Thank you for your hard work~ Sir Lelouch." Liu Tao greeted Lelouch with a smile, as if he was the president here.
"Liu~Where's Sephiroth?"
Lelouch walked in without mind, but at this time Lelouch found that Sephiroth was missing.
After putting down the ledger, Liu Tao threw two more pieces of chewing gum into his mouth and said, "He went out to familiarize himself with the environment. He is a person who can't sit still."
"Yeah?"
Nodding, Lelouch casually took off the cloak and handed it to the maid.
"So many medicinal materials have been stored. When will we notify our customers to pick up the goods?" Liu Tao pointed to the account book: "They have paid so much deposit in advance. They must be extremely eager to get these medicinal materials."
"There will be a banquet ceremony today. I will take Buanyani with me, and I will inform them then."
Liu Tao narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of cautious coldness in his soft tone: "A banquet? I just don't want it to be the Hongmen Banquet. It is said that the guests this time are all vampires, right?"
"Ah~ that's right!"
Lelouch nodded. He also attended a food club banquet a few days ago. At that time, Lelouch told Isabella and Jefferson that the medicinal materials they wanted could be allocated with the consent of the 'family' A group came over, and the good news naturally made the two of them smile and sign a purchase agreement with a total value of 70 million lien with Lelouch, and paid 10 million lien in advance as a deposit. Moreover, the two even expressed whether these medicinal materials were good enough, and hoped that Lelouch could allocate more medicinal materials from the family if possible. They want it no matter the quantity.
And it seemed that because of some misunderstanding, the two of them actually asked the maid who had been noticed by Lelouch before to serve them throughout the whole process. Especially in the end, Isabella also specifically hinted to Lelouch that if Lelouch could send more medicinal materials, the maid named Olivia could even directly become Lelouch's private property.
Of course, Lelouch declined the offer with a gentle smile, but in Isabella's opinion, this was just the young man's reserve as a noble.
It's just that during this banquet, when Lelouch hinted at Jefferson's intention of inviting him here, especially the little secret about 'eternal life', Isabella and Jefferson... His face became a little embarrassed, and Jefferson finally said that the club needed to make some adjustments because something had happened recently. So some things may be delayed for a while. In order to avoid leaving the impression that he had made a mistake on Lelouch, Jefferson gave Lelouch a large private gift and repeatedly expressed the hope that Lelouch would be honored next time, and that he would definitely let Lelouch see him as he wished. promise.
Lelouch smiled and expressed his understanding. In fact, Lelouch was completely aware of some of the so-called trivial things that happened in the food club recently. The reason why the ceremony was postponed may be because of the destruction caused by Zed, the lord of the underworld. At that time, Zed destroyed a lot of unknown blue potions, and Lelouch, as a strategist, could vaguely detect it with his intuition. The mutated medicinal materials from the Mist Forest that Isabella and Jefferson are eager to want must be related to that medicine.
“That’s about it┉┉”
After Lelouch finished speaking, he took a sip of the black tea brought in by the maid.
"Are you going to take Miss Buyani with you?"
"Originally, I didn't plan to take Buanyani there. This is not very consistent with the identity she plays, but..." Putting down the black tea cup, a strange light flashed in Lelouch's eyes: "My current identity Having already demonstrated financial strength, it's time to demonstrate force. Sometimes, being treated like food and lamb by others really makes people feel uncomfortable. Moreover, Mr. Jefferson has repeatedly requested. I will take Buyani to the banquet. If something bad happens then, I will also need a strong helper to deal with some problems. "
At this moment, the door was pushed open unceremoniously.
Sephiroth in black leather clothes walked in with his head raised: "Interesting~ I also really want to see how powerful the so-called vampires in this world are, is that okay?"
Lelouch smiled helplessly: "This is to cooperate with others, not to turn against others. If everything goes well, I hope to complete this transaction in a peaceful way."
"What if not?"
“┉┉┉┉”
After a brief moment of silence and thought, Lelouch crossed his hands and held his chin and said, "Then let me see your strength when the time comes, Sephiroth!"
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
At the same time, in two other places in the world, the dead, who were disgusted and feared by the living, were completing a gathering. In a swamp in the west of the continent, pilgrims from the Island of the Dead in Esolos were crossing. After overcoming the natural danger of the Mist Forest, he appeared in front of the Scourge Legion's station. The death beast that was transformed into the main force of the Scourge, the abominable beast made from many different corpses sewn together, and the army of skeletons that looked like a white ocean like a tide, were lined up in military columns and seemed to have been waiting for a long time. It looks like welcoming the pilgrims from the Island of the Dead.
The undead from the Island of the Dead in Aisolos looked at these strangest compatriots with caution and joy. According to the rules of the Island of the Dead in Aisolos, everyone who becomes the dead after death is a compatriot, regardless of whether they knew each other in life or not. , are all like-minded comrades on the road to death.
The leader of the Death Lord, Ingham Aesolos, rode a skeletal war horse emitting green light and walked towards the undead army at the lead. Less than a hundred steps away, the undead army separated a road in the middle, and a man appeared. The lich in red robes slowly floated over from behind the undead army.
"Ah! Comrades who embrace death, welcome you. My name is Karthus! The great Lich King here has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
After meeting the visitors from the Isle of the Dead in Esolos, Death Chanter Karthus felt excited in his heart. There were actually so many comrades in the world who embraced the truth of death, just like himself. They are also the pioneers who are obsessed with death and explore what death is. Unlike those ignorant people, they are noble beings who are free from low-level tastes.
Lich King!
Ingham's first reaction when he saw Karsus was that this powerful lich that had completely souled might be the ruler of this undead army. If he could really control such a huge army, then the man named Karl The lich of Sars and Lord Bellsmore of Esolos are probably rivals to each other. However, from the words of the other party, it can be heard that the ruler here is actually someone else, and he is the Lich King himself. What a proud and arrogant existence, and what a powerful existence.
Ingham was very interested in this Lich King. (To be continued...)
