Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1006 988. The whole story of Master Alchemist
"That's really flattering."

Shani had a look of surprise on her face. She really didn't expect that Dandelion, an unreliable man, actually had connections.

The story of the demon hunter has been widely spread with Lan En's story. The profession that was once generally exposed to the older generation and is about to disappear is now even more famous than it was in its heyday.

And Triss also became quite famous after the Battle of Soden Mountain.

At that time, the mountain was renamed the 'Fourteener's Peak' and 'The Mage's Mountain', and Triss was the 'Fourteener on the Hill'.

was promoted as a Northern war hero.

As a member of the pioneering group of Ossenfort college students, Shani is certainly aware of these stories.

"But." But then, confusion appeared on her face.

"Wait, Dandelion. This is just a business failure. What do you want to do with such a big fight?"

"Of course I know this is just a business failure, and they are here to find Dudu, but at that time our common halfling friend had not yet stumbled, and then hid away from anyone."

During the conversation between Shani and Dandelion, Lan En finally understood how Dudu got into debt.

Dandelion also laughed awkwardly after hearing this.

"The partners he found were really careless."

Dandelion was just a matchmaking middleman before, and he wasn't very good at explaining business matters, so the group of people decided to come here.

Only a few friends know the identity of Dudu's shapeshifter. His external identity has always been 'Dudu Bibwit of Polygonum Ranch', the cousin of the Bibbwit in the halfling family.

Lan En was originally standing in the corner with his hood on, and occasionally glanced at the alchemy equipment in another small room.

"And the right of first night is not important at all. What is important is that he wants to marry his daughter off as soon as possible so that she can become a queen in another country instead of staring at the seat under her father's butt."

"Friend. Hey, Dandelion. I'm not saying that Dudu's morals are questionable, but..."

"He is at least seventy years old, and his sexual function has seriously deteriorated. I really don't know what he can do if he wants the right to have the first night? Look at young and beautiful girls at night? Rely on touching to satisfy him? Rely on his wrinkled hands And mouth?"

The princess of that principality overthrew her tyrannical and fatuous father, at least that's what the publicity said.

Dandelion, on the other hand, disagreed.

In order to distinguish herself from the old king, the princess in the coup changed the background color of her family crest.

The old king actually wanted to implement the right of first night in the principality again.

He knew earlier than all the merchants in Novigrad that a coup had taken place in the Arc Coast Principality.

"Then the princess overthrew him before her wedding."

Shani makes a biting satire from the perspective of a medical student.

"You still don't see enough, Shani. Many old kings can bloom and bear new buds when they are more than sixty years old. Seventy years old is not too outrageous."

Shani spoke with a complaining tone and stopped talking halfway through.

In Shani's eyes, the reason for the failure of this business was purely due to careless employment.

Mr. Transformer is well-informed. As for why he is well-informed, his friends don't know. In short, he is well-informed.

And he found that after Shani mentioned Dudu, the intellectual girl's face became obviously ugly.

The change is not big, just a few color differences.

But the problem is that the original common colors become difficult to use after a few color differences.

There are deviations in the raw materials and techniques of printing and dyeing.

Coupled with the enthronement ceremony of the Grand Duchess and the fact that all places and troops across the country have to wear new badges and new colors, if they can seize this profit point, any businessman can make a lot of money.

At this time, Kalkstein came to Novigrad with Shani who was studying abroad.

Before all the merchants received news of the coup in the Arc Coast Principality, Dudu had already approached the master of alchemy and was about to start formulating a new dye.

With this information gap, the shapeshifters deserve to make a lot of money.

The color itself is not difficult to do, and it can be done by hiring a color master.

But the most important thing to pay attention to in mass production is the cost. If Kalkstein's alchemy can fix the dye formula, it can be produced much cheaper than the color master's plan.

Kalkstein himself was also happy to make a fortune. After all, his research had always been expensive, and the work was not difficult for him.

"It only took the master half a day to finalize the production formula of this new color, and this formula is very cheap. I am not a professional dye merchant, but I heard them say that the cost of this formula is almost the same as using carmine to dye red cloth. Cheap."

Shani said casually. It was obvious that she was not following Kalkstein to learn how to prepare dyes using alchemy, but for her own medical career, so she was not too concerned about this formula.

"Dudu has already spent a lot of money, and even borrowed money from Vivaldi Bank to purchase raw materials. But at this moment... Alas, Dudu didn't understand that one of his raw material suppliers was actually Novo People from the Vigre gang.”

"So, those ingredients were withheld? By the gangsters in Novigrad?"

Lan En, who didn't interrupt until now, just turned around and looked at the alchemy equipment in the back room and Kalkstein's movements, suddenly spoke.

"What if we snatch the raw materials back?"

"It's useless." Shani said indifferently, not knowing who the person under the hood and cloak was.

"The only thing that grabs this business is the time difference. It's too late now. Now those businessmen know what happened to the Arc Coast Principality. The profit margins have been compressed."

"And in addition to the loan from Vivaldi Bank, the gang also urged Dudu to hand over the payment, and even chased us here."

"What?" Dandelion looked surprised. "Didn't they fail to deliver the goods? Then why should they collect 'payment'? And this business was ruined because of them!"

"Yes, the gangsters don't know anything. They only know how to extort money after hearing the news like a mad dog snatching food." Shani sneered ironically. "So you can't still expect them to be reasonable, right?" Dandelion was speechless.

The current situation is that Dudu, who is hiding from debts, still cannot show up.

It is normal for a person who owes money to a regular bank and is forced to bear the debt by gangsters who dare not show his face in Novigrad.

Silence fell in the small room. Geralt looked around before speaking.

"So, where was the last time you and Dudu met?"

Now that we have a rough idea of ​​what happened, the rest can only be done in the witcher's way.

"We discussed the payment at his place, five days ago. Wait. Are you Geralt of Rivia? The one in Dandelion's poem?"

After Shani had a conversation with Geralt, she matched the person in front of her with the image in the poem.

Her eyes were full of surprise.

"Have you really been saved by Dandelion a dozen times?"

Geralt's expression froze, and he slowly turned to face Dandelion, who had his eyes drifting upward for some time, as if there was some art worth appreciating on the wooden roof.

"Ah, yes. I was, really, saved by him many times."

Geralt spoke word by word, and even with Dandelion's face, he was almost whistling in embarrassment.

Once the required information is complete, you can take action.

But when Shani stood at the door, waiting as if seeing off guests.

However, they discovered that Lan En had no intention of leaving immediately.

He stood at the separation between the two rooms, like a wall.

An interested voice came from under the hood.

It's not about Dudu, but the reaction that happens in those alchemical instruments.

"Only now can I confirm that you are making the base material for [Golem Heart]?"

Triss was originally just standing with Lan En, but she was standing against the wall in a cute and lively manner.

After listening to Lan En's words, her red lips first opened in a daze, and then she said "Huh?" '.

[Golem], a sophisticated magical construction technology created by the wizards of this world due to a tragic massacre.

Shape the body with inorganic materials, put it into the golem's heart, and activate it with magic to get a moving golem.

It’s the robotics of the wizarding world.

The most common rock golem weighs at least a hundred kilograms in one fist.

And he never sleeps, does not need to drink water, eat or go to the toilet, and follows orders faithfully and rigidly.

Not only could it kill a hundred knights, it could even do the work of a hundred skilled laborers.

Magicians everywhere tend to use golems to guard laboratories, libraries, and residences.

The only drawback is that it's expensive.

Master Kalkstein, who had been circling in front of the alchemy equipment and had not even turned around just now, suddenly stopped after Lan En spoke.

Then he slowly turned around and looked at the man in black robe and cloak blocking his door.

"Oh?" He also looked very interested, "Can you understand what I am doing? Sir, haven't you asked me for advice yet?"

Kalkistan's appearance was by no means good-looking, even strange.

If Berengar looks a bit like a primitive man because of his long face and slightly protruding mouth bones.

Then Kalkestan simply looks a bit like an ape.

However, as a warlock and a famous alchemy master, his outfit and neatly groomed beard and hair still show his superior material conditions.

"I benefited a lot from your book Making Inanimate Matter Move."

Lan lowered his head and walked into the back room where Kalkestein was, while slightly raising the brim of his hood.

A strand of hair like molten silver slipped down, and a beam of light slightly illuminated the face under the hood.

The time Kalkestan faced his own face was very short. According to Mentos and Lan's estimation, it was similar to Wind and April in the New World.

His eyes widened slightly, and he obviously knew who these features represented.

"Tall body, hair, appearance, and this wisdom"

Kalkstein stood up from his crouching position, stretched out his hand, and sounded surprised.

"Lane of Sintra?! Oh my gosh, your analysis paper on human cell differentiation and division is so wonderful! Wait, are you hiding your identity? I'm a bit too abrupt, am I not?"

Don't look at the fact that he showed no interest in the conversation of the people behind him the whole time, and didn't even want to waste time turning around to say hello.

But after recognizing Lan En, everyone realized that this alchemy master was not without emotional intelligence, but just tended to 'selectively display emotional intelligence'.

There is no doubt that Lan En is the person he feels deserves to show emotional intelligence and take care of his feelings.
