I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 40
The situation froze for a moment. It stands to reason that, as Joseph, he should treat wizards with respect and not the slightest bit of disrespect.

Although a great knight is at the same level as a second-class wizard, a wizard is the ruler of this world. His status is naturally higher than that of a knight, and his strength is far superior to that of a knight of the same level.

However, Joseph's father was a top third-class apprentice.

Seeing the tense situation, Yi Hua also frowned.

He brought more than 20 witch crystals with him on this trip, even with the price of eight crystal coins, Yi Hua was enough to buy [-] sheepskin scrolls.

This means the finished product of one hundred second-class phototherapy scrolls.

If they are all sold, more than 100 witch crystals can be credited.

But if it is exchanged for a high price of twenty crystal coins...

Yi Hua could only buy a little over a hundred blank scrolls, and the number of finished scrolls was reduced to thirty or forty.

Even if they sell all of them, they can only return their capital, and cannot make a lot of money, let alone gain a lot of merit.

He was involved in the strange, took great risks to travel through the Fangorn Forest, and only earned twenty witch crystals?

What about the at least fifty witch crystals needed for the next auction?
Do you still have to take the risk and make two more trips to the city of Yor?

After a long silence, Yi Hua took the lead and said:

"We need at least a thousand sheepskin scrolls, can we talk about the price?"

"No, to tell you the truth, there are not many scrolls left and they have already been reserved. If you want them, you have to pay a higher price than them."

Joseph spread his hands to express his helplessness, looking at the gray stone badge on Yihua's chest, which symbolized the status of a first-class apprentice, his eyes flashed with disdain.

After a while, Ural's slightly hoarse voice sounded.

"Or, let's ask for this price. Maybe we can try to sell the raw materials at a high price when we go back to the academy."

Hearing Ural's suggestion, Anna was taken aback, and quickly dissuaded her:
"Are you really planning to buy it at such a high price? At this price, combined with the magic ink, the cost of making a scroll at least 30 crystal coins, no one will buy it!"

The price of second-class witchcraft scrolls is usually between 1-3 witch crystals. In reality, buying 2 witch crystals is considered a high price.

With the scroll-making techniques of ordinary apprentices, the success rate of making second-class scrolls is between one-fifth and one-tenth.

The cost of at least 30 crystal coins to make a scroll, for most of the apprentices except Yihua, it is only a loss but not a profit, let alone increase the price to sell raw materials.

If not, they would not choose to go through Fangorn Forest to buy goods here.

"It's all here, are you going to go back empty-handed?"

Ural's face was aggrieved, and he forcibly suppressed his anger.

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, everyone had no choice but to suffer the loss.

Yihua's pupils flickered slightly, and he said vigilantly:

"We need to see the goods first."

Joseph snorted coldly when he heard the words, hesitated a little, but did not refuse.

Everyone followed in the footsteps of Joseph and the steward to the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion.

I saw that the scrolls had already been bundled and placed neatly on the shelves in the warehouse.

Yi Hua glanced roughly, and the scroll on the surface seemed to be fine.

However, Joseph did not stop, and directly led the people to go through the door and enter the warehouse next door.

There are also a large number of scrolls stacked in this warehouse, but the environment looks a little damp and dilapidated.

Just as Yihua was about to untie the rope and look through the scroll carefully, Joseph stopped him.

"Why, you're afraid that I won't be able to cheat. This is my father's property. Are you looking down on a third-class wizard?"

Joseph seemed unwilling to let Yihua and others check, so he put on a big hat when he came up.

Yihua's eyes flickered, and he knew there was something suspicious in his heart. Before he could take any action, Ural opened his mouth to try to ease the situation.

"Forget Yihua, for the sake of that third-class wizard, Joseph shouldn't cheat."

Ural's eyes signaled Yihua to check after he went out.

Yi Hua frowned slightly, everyone didn't have the witchcraft to preserve evidence.

If there is something wrong with the scroll after going out, and there is no evidence, the other party will kill him and refuse to admit it, and several people will not be able to do anything to the other party.

However, under the current situation, it is obviously impossible to forcibly check, so we have to give up.

The five gathered hundreds of witch crystals, exchanged for more than 500 scrolls that looked intact, and left the place in a carriage.

Seeing Yihua's group leave in a carriage carrying a sheepskin scroll, Joseph smiled with a successful plot.

"Master, when they leave the city, they will definitely find the problem with the scroll. There are four second-class wizards among them. If they come to you..."

"What are you afraid of? Those wizards have already investigated them. They don't have any background on the surface. They dare to trouble me. Do these apprentices want to supply scrolls in the future?"

Joseph said indifferently, then seemed to remember something, and said again:

"Besides, Lord Anderson, the deputy city lord, will also protect me. A few second-class wizards can't make any big waves."

"Master, the deputy city lord went out this morning and went to the edge of Fangorn Forest to suppress the beasts that attacked the surrounding area of ​​Yoel City. He is not in the city at this time..."

Hearing the news that the deputy city lord was not in the city, Joseph's body froze slightly, his scalp went numb, and a chill crawled down his spine.

But now that the deal is done, recalling the slight fear in his heart before, Joseph snorted angrily:
"Even without the protection of Anderson, who is the Knight of the Earth? They wouldn't dare to attack me in the city! If they dared to attack me, would they escape Anderson's pursuit afterwards?"

"When my father comes back, he will definitely praise my business acumen!"
-
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Yi Hua randomly pulled out a bundle of scrolls and untied them.

"really……"

Yi Hua's eyes were fixed, and he threw aside the scroll with large black spots in his hand.

The rest of the apprentices took a closer look and saw the sheepskin scroll scattered on the ground. Although the surface looked intact, the inside had already been damp and mildewed.

"This!"

Several apprentices looked ugly, but they didn't hesitate much, and quickly untied all the remaining scrolls.

Sheepskin scrolls are biological products, and the storage environment has extremely strict requirements on temperature and humidity.

These scrolls are obviously damp and moldy because of improper preservation.

Making witchcraft scrolls requires the raw materials to be intact, and rot and mildew also means that these scrolls are invalid and lose their original value.

After a while, everyone opened up all the scrolls, and saw that all the scrolls on the cart were rotten and mildewed, and none of them was intact.

Looking at the scrapped scroll in front of her, Anna's face was cloudy and uncertain, and her originally fair face was flushed with anger.

"What should we do? Should we go back to Joseph for an explanation?"

Ural's face was ashen, and he said weakly:
"It's useless. After leaving the city lord's mansion, Joseph refused to admit it. How can we get him? Once we offend him, our future supply will be cut off."

The gray-robed Han Reg slammed the scroll in his hand on the ground, a little aggrieved and said:

"Damn it, there's no other way? It's just because of the father who has a third-class wizard!"

Jack on the side didn't say anything about it.

Hearing the extremely pessimistic attitude of Reg and Ural, Yi Hua was not dazzled by anger at this time, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Speaking of which, he is about to face an exam, and there is a high probability that he will leave this island in the future. Why should he be afraid of Joseph?
