Of course, Amber knew that the "rules" set by Gao Wen were different from other places, just like Gao Wen's whole thinking was different from others.
Would normal people sell their advanced technological achievements? Would normal people try to toss the magical power that should belong exclusively to nobles and extraordinary people in the direction of cabbage? Would a normal person establish a government affairs office and a whole set of administrative agencies, and delegate all the exclusive powers that belonged to the lords to those "civil servants" who came from low-level nobles or even civilians
Gao Wen did it all, and every time he had a reason.
"Now the magic net has begun to spread in the southern border, and imitation prototypes have appeared in the noble territories near Leslie and Kant. Some big nobles with sufficient financial resources and well-informed information also know the news of the magic engine. They should I will be very interested. Just like you planned, Viscount Andrew, not Cecil, will come forward to sell it. This will further dispel the concerns of the nobles in the southern border. If there is no accident, after spring comes and the trade roads are smooth. , we will have a steady stream of large income, which can be used to purchase more raw ore and expand the population.”
After listening to Amber's report, Gao Wen nodded slightly: "Viscount Andrew is a familiar face in the southern region, and his connections can help us send the original magic net and magic engine to other nobles, as long as they taste a little bit of sweetness... It's impossible for them to refuse the next offer."
"In addition, there is news sent by Padrik that alchemy potions are still selling well in winter, and some merchants have even settled in the eastern border and the Holy Spirit Plain. However, the large amount of cheap potions in their hands has also aroused the concern of the local lords. Pay attention, Padraic is a little worried about this," Amber reported solemnly, "he is worried that those nobles will squeeze the distribution side of the chamber of commerce under the drive of profit... His original words are as follows: Not every noble is like Sergeant. Duke Sil is as honest and trustworthy as he is in business with conscience."
Gao Wen raised his eyelids: "What is the specific situation? I think he should not only send complaints."
"I really can't hide it from you," Amber scratched her hair, "He said that there have been several relatively bad incidents. In some places in the north, some local nobles detained our pharmacy merchants and asked them to pay half Sell them the goods at a very low price, or declare our apothecary merchants to be illegal traders."
Gao Wen showed interest: "Oh? An extremely low price? How low is that?"
"...a third, or even a quarter," Amber said with a resentful look on her face, "That's a steal!"
Gao Wen couldn't help laughing: "Well... With the current selling price and the cost of the alchemy factory, even a quarter of it is still profitable."
"Are you still laughing?" Amber was stunned when she saw Gao Wen's appearance, "They are robbing Cecil of the money! If they didn't still care about your name, they probably didn't ask to keep some of the goods , but directly ransacked the merchants!"
"It's not good to rob merchants directly. If that happens, no one will dare to continue selling potions on their territory, and I won't be able to reach out." Gao Wen stroked his chin and thought for a while, "Well, write a copy for me. Instructions to Padraic, telling him that those businessmen who have established themselves should take the initiative to contact the local nobles, isn't it a quarter of the price? Yes, Cecil is willing to pay a quarter of the price. Sell potions to them in batches, our pharmacy merchants can even reserve half of each shipment for them, and the condition is that those local lords want to protect the distribution rights of Cecil pharmacy merchants in their territories, We must prevent other traditional herbalists and alchemists from suppressing and crowding out pharmacy merchants."
Seeing Amber's dumbfounded expression, Gao Wen deliberately smiled and asked, "Do you think those local lords will agree to these demands?"
Amber opened her mouth for a long time, and finally said: "Of course they agree! Idiots don't agree! You can buy a bottle of alchemy potion with a dozen copper coins! If you can get such great benefits, you don't need to tell them They will take the initiative to protect the pharmacy merchants, and even help them deliver the goods! But what good do you do... "
Before Amber could finish speaking, Gao Wen interrupted and asked, "What do you think the local lords are buying cheap alchemy potions for?"
"What is it for?" Amber was stunned for a moment, "Anyway, it can't be used to rinse your mouth..."
"It's definitely not for your own use," said the half-elf lady, who was cute when she fell into a circle, but Gawain didn't intend to tease her this time, "Our alchemy potion is an inferior product mixed with water, although it is suitable for ordinary people and adventurers It is still a good thing, but it is absolutely impossible to get into the eyes of the nobles. Those local lords must have known this in advance, so there is only one reason why they buy cheap potions in large quantities. They are for their own people. Used by their private soldiers, guards, and minions."
Amber is not stupid, sometimes it is just her habit of thinking that prevents her from making a turn. At this time, Gao Wen reminded her a little, and she realized what this cunning old rice dumpling in front of her was planning.
"you mean… "
"Shipping in large quantities, as much as you want, the generous Duke Cecil will let every noble army in the southern border use high-quality and cheap alchemy potions, and brave soldiers will no longer need to put the stinky black The ointment and grass root mud are wrapped on the wound, and in this process, I will only charge a small amount of money." Gawain leaned back on the chair and said calmly, "With a good alchemist potion, no one will use those herbal ointments and witchcraft methods that have little effect, and the expensive traditional alchemy potions will disappear quickly, do you know what this means?"
Amber touched her neck subconsciously: "This is what you said last time... the noose?"
"That's right, the noose," Gawain exhaled softly, "None of them want to see the Cecil family stand up again, so they will use what they think is a very clever method to desperately try to get rid of the Cecil family. I had to draw blood from the Er family, so I had to draw blood for them, and put a rope around each of their necks."
After pausing for a while, Gao Wen smiled and glanced at Amber: "The shelf life of alchemy potions after mixing with water is very short."
In the large laboratory of the Rune Research Institute, Pittman was invited by Jenny to watch a special magic circle.
This slovenly old druid still looks unreliable, even though he is already in charge of the druid spell and magic alchemy industry, with double-digit apprentices under his command, and himself However, he is still wearing a simple and old gray cotton robe, all kinds of useful and useless amulets are hung everywhere on his body, his white hair is covered in a mess on the top of his head, and he wears a faded cap. The khaki soft hat is pressed down, and a pair of shrewd little eyes are constantly turning around under the cover of the scattered hair on the edge of the soft hat. Anyone who sees him will first feel that the old man will suddenly pull out a The second card is here to tell your fortune, and it will definitely not be associated with any "magic rune expert" or "druid mentor".
But he is indeed an expert in this field.
Pittman carefully observed the large base plate on the central experimental platform. On the base plate, various rune blocks and magic power lines that are easy to combine together outline a magic circle full of mystery, and some of them are made of non-magic materials. The finished silk thread is fixed on the surface of the magic circle by fixing pins to divide the functions of different areas of the magic circle.
These divisions were temporarily divided by Jenny and Kamel, and they were not precise enough, and could only be used as an aid in the research phase.
"These are indeed deformed magical runes," Pittman looked at the symbols marked with special paint, and nodded while stroking his beard. "Well... this confirms one of my guesses."
"Guess?" Jenny looked at the old druid curiously.
"Whether it is the natural sect that the druids once believed in, or the dream sect that the eternal sleepers believed in, in the process of transforming their divine arts into magic, the pioneers have carried out very careful evasion and cover-up operations," Pittman laughed. With a sly light in his eyes, "There is only one message in these deformed runes..."
Kamel's unique voice with arcane echoes came from the side: "Fear."
"That's right, fear," Pittman chuckled, "God's authority has fallen into human hands, but people are still trembling, as if they are always afraid that God will return, and fear that God will punish those blasphemers who stole authority, even though the pioneers Having found the rules and techniques for transforming divine spells into magic, they also tried hard to conceal their actions in the process, as if deceiving themselves to avoid the gods who may no longer be there."
"It's the same in the early days of the rebellious plan," Kamel buzzed. "It wasn't until we confirmed the existence of the giant deer Amon, and confirmed that he is the fallen God of Nature, that our fears were not a little less."
Jenny never thought that she would be exposed to this kind of thing one day, but she has become used to it now, and asked subconsciously: "The god of dreams... will he have fallen like the giant deer Amoen? ?”
"It's hard to say, the weirdness of the gods is beyond human imagination. The god's corpse of the giant deer Amorn is indeed lying in the Shadow Realm, but God knows what the state of the gods believed by other degenerate sects is," Pittman laughed, shaking He moved his head to the magic circle, "Instead of wondering what the state of those gods are, we should figure out how the magic circle works as soon as possible."
"We have made some preliminary progress on this point." Kamel said, and at the same time summoned a hand of evocation, and brought over a half-meter-high metal crystal device next to the test bench.
It was a small obelisk of magic energy specially prepared for the laboratory environment.
"In the beginning, we tried to drive this magic circle with ordinary magic power, but it failed. This magic circle has a special interface. It will only respond to the dream spell of the eternal sleeper. Whether it is activation or control, it needs to be supplemented by Only special dream magic works. Obviously, this magic circle is incomplete, it cannot operate independently and must have a spellcaster perform a supporting ceremony to complete its magic path," Kamel said while starting Debugging the Obelisk of Magic Energy, "This situation is not uncommon. Many traditional magic circles have such incompleteness due to inadequate optimization and unreasonable structure, but this has brought us a lot of trouble..."
The magic obelisk was activated, and a stable magic field began to envelope the entire Rune Research Institute.
"But later, we discovered that we don't actually need to make the entire magic circle work. There is a part of it that is very important. As long as this part can be activated, then with the help of the diffusion of the magic field, it can exert incredible effects. "
Kamel raised his arm full of arcane energy, and a small spark hit the magic circle on the test bench. A part of the runes in the magic circle immediately lit up, and injected magic power with Kamel. The change starts to float brightly and darkly.
Almost immediately, Pittman looked at the wall on the other side of the laboratory with a feeling.
On that wall, there is another large substrate hanging. There is no complete "Eternal Sleeper's Array" on that large substrate, but only the most basic set of rune arrays, but it is the basic rune array. The array is flickering and flickering with Kamel's actions at the moment.
"Currently we can only transmit such a simple change, and the transmission is extremely susceptible to interference, and the distance is also very problematic, but at least we have proved one thing in the process:
"The black box of the communication spell is not unbreakable, and its principle may be simpler than all of us imagined."
