The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Chapter 113

The auction house is crowded.

Xia Zuoyi leaned on the chair and watched the rest of the people slowly walk into the auction and take their seats.

His legs were crossed, and his right hand wearing a half palm glove rested comfortably on his knee. After a while, he always felt that a gaze had been falling on him, and he followed the feeling and looked too—

Xia Zoe found that staring at him was a tall man who was also sitting in the alchemist area.

The man has dark brown short hair that looks messy. After meeting his eyes, a pair of brown eyes suddenly moved away in a panic, and his head turned to another direction.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but wonder, but he didn't care too much in his heart.

After a while, you will naturally know the identity of this man.

And the young alchemists who can sit in the front row are only those who are famous in the alchemist association.

Xia Zuoyi had some guesses about this person's identity.

Then, he turned his attention to Chebman Norton, who could almost be said to be the leader of the Alchemy Association, but he didn't expect to meet Chebman's gaze.

The master alchemist nodded to him with a serious face.

Xia Zuoyi immediately returned the salute.

After Chebman Norton turned his head again, he whispered to Judit, who was standing behind him: "Take Chebman Norton in a notebook, highlight it, and let Valk focus on investigating his residence later. Where… "

Speaking of which.

Xia Zoe paused and continued: "If he doesn't agree, he will use force, but make sure that Valk's movements are lighter."

"Yes, lord." Judit said softly.

Judit clearly understood the meaning of Xia Zuoyi's endless words, which seemed to be guessing a riddle, and even Fernandi, who was standing beside him, did not show any doubts.

Because last night, Xia Zoe summoned them to have a small meeting in the room.

—Although he participated as an alchemist in this exchange meeting between alchemists and doctors, he also wanted to show the results of the latest research.

But the status is a noble, and he has to recruit talents to return to the territory.

The rest of the opponents who also want to recruit talent are competitors.

Since it is a competitive relationship, you can't be polite, especially to those who have great contradictions with him, such as the Ed Chamber of Commerce and the Marquis of Galli.

Xia Zuoyi will take away all the talents they value.

To this end, he specially asked Judit to prepare a blank book, and record the people he likes at the exchange meeting, and then it is about Fernandi and Valk...

-Be reasonable and emotional to those who have real talents and real learning.

Reason and emotion are not enough, then only force can be used.

Xia Zuoyi came back to his senses and glanced at all the people sitting in the noble area, including Orville, Archibald, Gena, and the three princes of the empire...

He had some thoughts in his mind.

Soon after, when the door of the auction hall was closed, the person serving as the master of ceremonies walked to the front booth, which represented the official start of the exchange meeting.

This is not an era with rich cultural heritage.

The desert of culture is reflected in various places. Even if a piece of land is moistened by rain and slowly converges into a shallow pool, there are still dry and cracked land all around, and the water flow is blocked... Culture cannot be transmitted.

Gradually, even the once puddles will gradually disappear.

The culture and research of alchemists is like a pyramid - the higher it gets, the harder it gets.

Alchemy schools are distinct and hostile to each other.

Not to mention hostility, there are many people who do not like each other.

Before becoming an independent alchemist, you must first start as an apprentice, and you must work hard and suffer from the beginning. Even if you become an alchemist, it does not mean that you can succeed - money, equipment, and advanced and agile thinking are also indispensable.

Otherwise, how should we continue to study...

This also refers specifically to civilian alchemists who have no power.

Although it is relatively easy for nobles to become alchemists, and they have the support of money and tools, alchemy is too expensive.

And some dangerous experiments are carried out without various protective measures, and it is very likely to cause damage to the skin, body, etc.

For example, the skin becomes sallow and rough due to alchemy experiments...

This is an intolerable thing for aristocrats.

The most important thing is - when the steady stream of gold coins disappears because of obsession with alchemy, but no effective results are obtained, the loss of gold coins is more than everything to the nobles.

Moreover, the commoners and slaves living under such aristocratic rule will obviously suffer more ruthless exploitation...

Alchemy is not beautiful to a certain extent.

Many people will give up halfway and die in the middle, which leads to very few talents who can stand at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, it is very rare for an alchemist like Shazoe Desinia not only to have an enviable status, but also to have a high level of achievement in alchemy.

At a young age, he grasped the Thorns Chamber of Commerce, which can continuously generate money, and later developed a lot of eye-catching results that can earn a lot of gold coins...

Just talking about sugar - sugar beet.

Ordinary beets.

In the past, it was used to boil the soup, or chopped and mixed with other dishes. Even this kind of dish was excluded from the dining table of some nobles, and it was only eaten by inferior slaves or livestock.

Who would have thought that sugar beet can be used to make sugar, not only the raw materials are easy to obtain, but also the production method is not too difficult...

Desinia has something too eye-catching.

The Desinia Territory is the most distinctive place on the Western Continent.

This is like a piece of honey exuding a sweet smell in front of the predator, and everyone wants to rush to snatch it.

If it wasn't for Xia Zoe who was the first to develop an army in the territory, actively recruiting civilians and slaves to join the army, improving the barracks system, and changing ordinary cavalry to soldiers...

If it weren't for the cohesion and force deterrence that was slowly paved from the beginning.

-Conscription, establishment of training camps, clear promotion rewards in the army from now on, etc., only look at individual merits... Those who have merits can even break away from the status of slaves.

Among them, for the slaves in various places, the most obvious guiding sign is the head of Mike Andrew, who has become one of the four heads of the black and white cavalry.

He used to be a slave.

If there is no black and white cavalry as the backing, I am afraid that everyone in the "fat" of Desinia territory wants to take a bite.

Therefore, there is no reason for Xiazoe Desinia not to be jealous and hateful, just like someone who doubted everything about his alchemy experiments and slandered in secret.

Xia Zuoyi never actively listened to these rumors about himself.

Although the system's almighty library exists as his golden finger, it gives him the strength to rely on in this world.

But no knowledge is innate.

He also has to learn to read, and when he understands it, he will continue to dig and explore in his own way in combination with the development of reality... and move forward slowly, step by step.

Don't be overly cautious, but don't get too caught up in the details.

The Ed Chamber of Commerce probably made investigations and arrangements in advance - some lesser-known alchemists or physicians, etc. came to the stage to show first.

But their experimental results have little practical significance.

It's just some useless things, and then verbally exaggerating the effect and making false propaganda.

- This is just like modern products need a gorgeous and obvious packaging, enough to attract attention, and enough topic to attract people who pay for it.

But some people do have preliminary research results in some places.

From time to time, Xia Zoe asked Judit to record the talents he was optimistic about, including Yinke Ken.

The genius alchemist developed a new type of medicine - suppository.

This is a solid at room temperature, which needs to be inserted into the cavity when used, and gradually melt to release the drug to produce local or systemic effects.

It is mainly used to treat patients with gastrointestinal diseases, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms.

It can also treat constipation, relieve pain...

Especially after entering the intestinal tract, it can be turned into water for easy absorption, and can also play a role in lubricating and relieving itching in the cavity - this is a drug that is not suitable for oral use.

Ink Ken explained in great detail.

On the whole, the suppositories he developed are "similar to the ointment" developed by Chebman Norton to treat anal hemorrhoids to a certain extent.

The two complement each other, and it may be possible to quickly cure the disease.

As for the confirmation of the treatment effect, Yin Ke Ken found relevant personnel in advance and asked them to talk about their relevant experiences in person.

The faces of the nobles were serious and serious.

Except for some ladies who also came to the exchange meeting to lightly cover half of their faces with velvet fans or gloved palms to show embarrassment, the rest did not respond much.

Because this is a very important thing.

The nobles paid special attention to their physical health.

After all, once you get sick, you are likely to directly endanger your life, but some diseases are painful but not fatal.

For example, constipation, hemorrhoids can not be avoided.

I believe that nine out of ten people will always be like this, and even if there is no one left, it will be soon.

It's a common, yet poorly articulated, and distressing disease.

Yin Ke Kendao: "I think suppositories can effectively treat symptoms such as abdominal pain and blood in the stool, but this medicine cannot be used arbitrarily, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the body."

Yin Ke explained all the experimental results honestly.

Then, he handed a suppository in the cork to the attendant who came to the stage with a tray - research results similar to drugs need to be tested again.

Xia Zoe reminded Judit in a low voice, record Yin Ke Ken in the book, and mark it, and let Valck take the first action against this person later.

Ink Ken's exposition makes perfect sense.

Unlike the previous alchemist who also said that he had developed a universal antidote.

- After he crushed more than ten kinds of herbs, he went through a complicated process to make a potion.

The treatment should be accompanied by prayers to the God of Creation, sprinkling of holy water, incantations, etc... This will unlock all the poisoned patients and make them healed.

Total bullshit.

Xia Zuoyi shook his head after thinking about it, and he saw another person coming to the booth.

This man was the dark brown short-haired man who had been staring at him just now. He was introduced by the master of ceremonies—his name was Philip Gere.

Xia Zoe subconsciously sat up straight.

Oh, another genius of the school of alchemy, don't know what his research results are.
