Chapter 11 Phil's Potion Store
Genius, this is not an unfamiliar evaluation to Gothe. Since he was a child, people around him have praised him in this way.
But his genius is in the field of mathematics, which seems to be of little significance to the world of magic.
The former genius in the field of potions is the truly useful thing now.
The purchase price that Master Seda can get for the primary spider poison potion is 2 gold for a set (3 vials).
This is based on the premise that Master Seda has a certain level of strength and can deliver goods stably.
Obviously it is impossible to achieve this price for small-scale shipments by yourself, but it will not be much lower, and the best thing is that it is pure profit without any costs.
"What a pity" Gothe couldn't help but sigh.
In addition to his outstanding talent in the field of potions, his predecessor was also much smarter than the average person in terms of scheming.
Gaode is not the only person who remains sober in this environment.
The predecessor was also such a person.
He is just like Goude, who is not willing to wait in confusion for his destined fate, but tries to change his own fate.
He began to prepare early to escape the difficulties he faced, and miraculously found a breakthrough with his own talent.
—As long as you have money, it may be possible to find a way to crack the tracking mark.
But unfortunately, before he could save enough money, he was selected by Master Seda to test the medicine.
Time waits for no one.
If the predecessor is given some more time, maybe he can actually create a miracle of his own.
"Since I have been given a second chance, I will definitely succeed this time."
With the savings left over from my previous life, as well as the qualifications to freely enter and exit the medicine garden that I had just won, and the "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow", the originally slim hope finally became faintly visible.
After eating the standard dinner of rye bread + pea soup, before it got dark, Gothe left the medicine garden with Amy with a full package.
The package contained five sets of primary spider poison potions, which he wanted to deliver to the magic shop in the city.
This job that originally belonged to Elan was handed over to him after he stabbed Elan to death.
Because of the existence of the tracking mark, Master Seda was not worried about the apprentices escaping. Under normal circumstances, the scope of activities of the apprentices was not restricted. At the same time, in order to save trouble, Master Seda was relieved to leave the potion shipment to Yilan.
Of course, the price was negotiated by Master Seda himself, and Yilan was only responsible for door-to-door delivery.
Master Seda's medicine garden is located on the outskirts of Hogan City.
The establishment of a medicinal garden requires a large and fertile land.
As a potion master, Master Seda has many ways to make money, but his expenses are also huge and he cannot be lavish.
So even in a place like Hogan City, which was equivalent to an unknown small county in the previous life, Master Seda could only choose the location of the medicine garden in a suburb with cheap land.
The place Gothe wants to go is the business district of Hogan City.
In most cases, a city's business district will be located in the best part of the city.
Horgan City is no exception.
its business district is located in the most central location in the city.
Even though Hogan City is not that big, the location of the Medicine Garden is indeed remote.
It takes about an hour to walk from the medicine garden to the business district.
It takes two hours round trip.
Before crossing, Gaode has many means of transportation for this distance.
Metro, bus and even taxi.
I would not consider walking alone.
But here, he only has one means of transportation - his own legs
Although there is also a carriage as a means of transportation in this world, the problem is that the carriage rental starts for one hour and the starting price is 2 silver, and after that, 6 copper will be added for every 5 minutes.
At this price, only Master Seda is qualified to ride, and it has nothing to do with young apprentices like them.
Horgan City's first impression on Gothe was just three words, which was too bad.
· Along the way, the roads have twists and turns. There is almost no planning at all, and most of the roads are still very narrow.
Because it had rained two days ago, dirty water flowed across many sections of the road, and littered debris could be seen everywhere.
The feeling of constraint and crowding is overwhelming.
Along the way, most of the pedestrians I encountered were in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry.
Gaode knew that most of these pedestrians were factory workers in the city. They had to rush home before dark, then finish their chores as soon as possible and go to bed to rest, so as to save as much kerosene money as possible.
As we entered the slum settlement located on the edge of Hogan City, the stench in the air became more and more intense. On the roadside, we could see many semi-employed, ragged poor people working as part-time workers, as well as street beggars.
Gaode and Amy are also from here.
This place is very chaotic, very poor, and there are many people.
There are also many thieves.
Gothe subconsciously grasped the straps of the package, bent slightly, quickened his pace, and walked through the messy streets with his head lowered under Amy's leadership.
Although he is barely a mage apprentice and has two tricks at his disposal, these two tricks have no lethality and are mainly functional. Coupled with the fact that his body is not strong, Gothe can only act with caution.
This is why Gothe brought Amy with him on this trip.
What his previous life left him was only knowledge, and his current situation is equivalent to that of a person who has lost his memory.
That is to say, he does not know the way.
· Walking forward, when the smell in the air gradually faded away and the houses on both sides became much brighter, Gao De straightened his back again and looked straight ahead.
They are now located in the civilian residential area of Hogan City. After passing through this area, they reach the business district.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Gaode finally arrived at the business district before dark.
The business district of Hogan City is very bustling. Because it is dark, the street lights on both sides of the road have been turned on.
The street lights here are all magic crystal lamps, powered by a strange crystal called magic crystal. They are much brighter than kerosene lamps.
We are in the same city, only thirty or forty minutes apart. On one side, they are reluctant to light up the lights at night to save some money on kerosene, but on the other side, the more expensive magic crystal lanterns stay on all night long.
It seems like two worlds.
The streets in the commercial district are very spacious and tidy.
Various tempting aromas waft from the high-end restaurants on both sides of the road.
When passing by a bakery called "Pande Bread", the sweet smell from the freshly baked pastries and biscuits wafting out of the store made Gothe and Amy swallow their saliva instinctively after eating rye bread all day.
It was just the water price outside the bakery that made the two of them pass by without looking sideways - the cheapest maple sugar cake cost 6 copper coins for a small portion.
Pedestrians on the street are all well-dressed, but the colors of men's clothing are very monotonous, usually brown and black, while the dresses of ladies and ladies are much more colorful, with different colors and gorgeous decorations.
Amy has bent slightly again, lowered her head, and at the same time quickened her pace, just like she did in the slums just now.
But it’s different.
Gothe looked around with interest, looking at the "exotic" customs that he had never seen in his previous life.
Following the house number, Amy took Gothe to the destination of their trip.
「Phil’s Potion Store」.
A medium-sized store occupying the three house numbers of 18, 19, and 20 on this street. It has a large signboard and a water sign at the door.
cedous thorn grass grows on high mountains. Therefore, the picking period is very short, and the demand is large. There is an urgent need to hire 5-10 people who are strong, hard-working and hardworking temporary herb collectors.」
Thorn grass is a kind of medicinal herb with small thorns on its surface. Its medicinal effect is to restore physical strength. The dried thorn grass is often used as an auxiliary medicine in the preparation of physical recovery medicine.
Physical recovery potion is one of the best-selling low-level potions, so when the thorn grass matures, pharmacies usually collect it in large quantities and then dry and preserve it to ensure a stable supply throughout the year.
The herbal knowledge about thorn grass flashed through Gothe's mind.
He took his eyes off the water sign and strode into Phil's Potion Store.
This is the shipper that Master Seda talked about.
Because the specific details have already been agreed upon, and this is not the first time we have cooperated, and AutoNavi is only responsible for delivery, the transaction was completed smoothly.
After stating his identity and purpose, he handed over five sets of primary spider venom potions to the clerk, and then received a "receipt note" stamped with the seal of Phil's Potion Store. This was regarded as completing the mission of this trip.
——The coins are not in the hands of Gaode. Every once in a while, Master Seda will come to collect the payment himself with the "receipt note".
"Gothe?" After leaving Phil's Potion Store, Amy saw Gothe looking around, as if he was looking for something.
Gaode came back to his senses.
The primary spider poison potions belonging to Master Seda have been taken out, but his own set of primary spider poison potions are still lying quietly in his package.
Gaode didn't remember where his predecessor sold these medicines before, but it was not a big problem. He could open a new channel.
"Amy, I want to walk around again, you should go back first." He turned to Amy and said.
Amy was stunned, and then subconsciously said: "It's so late, there is no magic crystal lamp over there in the slums."
Gothe thought about it and it did make sense. This world is different from his previous life. Public security cannot be guaranteed, especially in places like slums. It is safer to go together.
He took out 6 copper coins from his pocket and put them into Amy's hand, "Wait for me at the door of Pande Bakery. I will find you after shopping, and then we will go back together." Now that Master Seda’s potion has been successful, we should be able to live a stable life. You are the most talented among us, and you will definitely be valued by Master Seda.”
After all, they are under the same roof, so it would be strange for Amy to know nothing.
"Maybe," Amy muttered, looking very guilty.
Obviously, he also knew in his heart what Master Seda was like, but he was just subconsciously deceiving himself.
"I have offended Master Seda by killing Yilan. Besides, the situation will not be worse no matter what, right?" Gao De said, then turned and left, "I will come back to you soon."
