Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 17 Try your luck with a slave trader (please follow up)
  "Sorry, our Chamber of Commerce does not have this herb in stock for the time being. Sir Alphonse, you need to go to the pharmacy to buy it. If you want a large amount, I can ask the caravan to purchase a batch for you."

"As much as you have!" Alphonse would not let go of collecting divine incense, which is helpful for practicing internal skills. The more the better.

"Okay, I will tell you to go down, please wait here for a while." Croy walked out the door briskly.

The price of seagram grass is low, so helping to purchase it is just following the trend. She has no intention of making Alphonse's money. The most important thing is that the cream formula has been negotiated. This is the re-emergence of the Forkrod Chamber of Commerce. hope.

As soon as Croy left, Mia's expression immediately changed, her eyebrows raised and she asked, "Didn't you say that you learned the recipe for the cream from that magical bard?"

Alphonse was just making excuses at that time, and he never imagined that he would be exposed because of the magic contract.

His thoughts were spinning, and he simply spread his hands, "I want to say that I made the cream accidentally. Will you believe me?"

Mia looked at Alphonse's expression as if he was a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. She was furious for a moment, but she couldn't say anything to refute it. Based on what Alphonse had done before, it was really not worthy of belief.

"In other words, you also made up the bard?"

"That's not true. How can I make up martial arts? That magical bard really taught me a lot." Alphonse replied with a smile.

"What's his name?" Mia asked again.

Alphonse quickly found a Western name in his past memory, "Adelson."

I muttered something silently in my mind at the same time, Dr. Chen, I'm sorry, I'll borrow your English name.

Mia was furious, but she couldn't say anything to accuse her.

Alphonse didn't bother to care about her, he just picked up the teacup and sipped it.

The black tea from this other world really doesn't taste good, it tastes weird, and it actually has a little sweetness.

After a while, Croy returned, but this time he brought a servant with him, holding a small flat wooden box.

Croy ordered the servant to put the wooden box on the coffee table and opened the lid.

I saw that the box was full of gold coins.

"One thousand gold coins, sir, please count them."

Of course, Alphonse would not do it himself. He waved his hand to Mia and motioned her to take inventory.

Mia secretly gritted her teeth, but looking at the golden gold coins, her eyes lit up and she stepped forward.

After waiting for a while, Mia finished clicking and confirmed that it was correct.

Compared to the treatment she received at the Sanders Chamber of Commerce, Croy was much easier to talk to and paid easily. Alphonse had a better impression of her, and maybe she could continue to strengthen it if she came up with something in the future. cooperate.

After leaving Fulkrod Chamber of Commerce, Mia carried the cash box and scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

This was the first time she had so many gold coins in her hand, and everyone seemed to have bad intentions.

Alphonse didn't care. When he was the leader of the Shifang Holy Cult in his previous life, he had hundreds of millions of funds at his disposal, so how could he care about such a small amount of money.

I went to the pharmacy and collected another large bag of seagram grass. Mr. Hogg, the pharmacist in the territory, still sold it cheaply. This herb cost 8 silver coins per pound. The four plants he gave me were at least 80 taels, so I accepted it. copper coins.

But compared to the price that was hard to find in the previous life, it is really cheap!
  As for the herbs that can strengthen the body, I discovered one, Dragon Blood Grass, which is named St. John's Wort in this world.

But the price was so high that Alphonse thought it was a money grab!

Dragon's blood grass, which was easy to obtain in the previous life, actually costs 240 gold coins per pound in the other world, because it has the effect of promoting the growth of fighting spirit.

Alphonse didn't buy it. It was just a medicine, not the main medicine. He didn't collect all kinds of medicines, and he couldn't use them after buying them. There was no need to waste money for the time being. It’s not that there are no other ways to improve physical fitness, it’s just slower.

Other potions that can quickly recover from injuries are even more expensive and cannot be afforded.

Night has fallen, Lane City has closed its city gates, and civilians are no longer allowed to enter or leave the city.

With his status as a noble, he could go out, but the horses were carrying large bags of herbs, which made it inconvenient to travel. It was not feasible to hire a carriage to go back. The carriages at the horse and carriage shop did not accept night business at all.

At night, it's time for bandits and monsters to appear, and the coachmen at the carriage house don't want to take risks.

Alphonse and Mia had to find a high-end hotel to stay.

This time Mia didn't care about it. Although it would cost more, the safety factor was higher.

She always felt uneasy with the money box.

It’s expensive for a reason. For dinner, Alphonse enjoyed a delicious beef stew.

The hotel chef's skills are much better than the cook at home.

After dinner, Alphonse thought for a while and then went to invite Mia to go out.

"Where do you want to go?" Mia asked fiercely. According to her idea, she didn't want to go anywhere, just stayed in the hotel for one night.

"I just inquired with the hotel owner and am going to visit the slave merchant in Lane City. The money is in your hands, so of course you have to go with me. You don't want anything to happen to me, right?" Alphonse replied casually.

"You want to buy a slave?" Mia's heart immediately aroused anger, "You should know that the financial situation of the Cold Wind Territory does not allow you to be extravagant and wasteful!"

In her mind, she had already determined that Alphonse was after the beautiful slave girl.

"It doesn't matter if I spend some of the money I earn, right?" Alphonse shot back.

Mia was stunned for a moment. Indeed, Alphonse came up with the cream formula and he earned the money.

But Mia just couldn't bear Alphonse spending money randomly.

It’s okay to buy that big bag of Seagram grass and say it will come in handy, but buying a female slave will never work!

It's not like there are no maids in the castle, they're just a little older.

Alfons understands the principle of giving a sweet date with a stick, and he doesn't intend to argue with Mia. "Don't worry, I just want to see if there are any suitable craftsmen."

It is often seen in Western fantasy novels that the protagonist can always find unexpected gains from slave merchants. The future sword master, the future king of knights, the future god of magic, and all kinds of talents can be found, and You can also get it at extremely low prices.

Alphonse thought that he didn't have the fate of the protagonist, but let's see it's not bad, maybe he will meet it.

Then again, slave craftsmen are definitely cheaper than hiring them directly.

Hearing what Alphonse said, Mia's expression softened a little. She gripped the cash box angrily and followed Alphonse out of the hotel.

Relying on his status as a noble, Alphonse received warm hospitality from the slave merchant Valen Froda.

Lane City, he was in the slave trade business.

It can be seen that he has earned a lot of dirty money. He is almost as fat as a ball, has a big belly, has wrinkles on his chin, with several layers, and his neck is almost invisible.
