The mage arrives

()Longo Ritter looked at the bewildered Dunville and sighed secretly.

He has two sons.The youngest son, Sarando Ritter, awakened the power of the arcane blood in his body when he was very young, and was favored by a high-ranking warlock and took him to study with him.The responsibility of inheriting the family is naturally on the eldest son Dunwell.

Originally, according to Longe's idea, the youngest son with good qualifications as a warlock could act as a solid military backing for the Ritter family after he graduated from the teacher, while the eldest son worked hard to manage the wealth and power of the Ritter family. A nobleman with profound heritage.

It's a pity that things backfired. Although his eldest son is stronger than ordinary dudes, it is far from enough to be in charge of a family.

"You paid Mendoza to assassinate Gordon, and you have to rot it in your stomach. If there are other insiders, you must kill them all." Longo made a gesture of wiping his neck, and said in a deep voice, "If three The envoys of the Holy Baptist Church came to investigate this matter and put all the responsibility on Gordon. In addition, we also need to find a mage who is proficient in the school of prophecy to use arcane power to disturb the past of things, so that people cannot Find out the truth."

"Then what should Gordon do? Since he was able to defeat Mendoza and the four wanderers, it shows that he has strength far beyond the surface. There are many down-and-out nobles in Bishui City. If it's just for that noble title, we can definitely go find him." The others..." Dunville said.

"You weak gel monster!" Like an enraged wild boar, Long raised his fat slap high, but he didn't slap it down in the end.

"Do you think it's easy for me to have the wealth I have today? If you want to back down when you encounter difficulties, then the family business of the Ritter family can only be handed over to your brother in the future."

"Father……"

"If you know that you are wrong, then think about how to deal with Gordon. Remember, assassination is such a reckless and stupid thing, don't do it a second time! He wants to make money, you just don't want him to make money. Remember , time is on our side. Okay, let's go." Long waved his hand, and the continuous anger made him feel tired.

"Understood, father." Dunville bowed and exited the room respectfully.

Longo Ritter moved his short and fat body to the wall.He opened the mechanism and took out an oil painting from the hidden storage compartment on the wall.

The painting is a lady.She has jet-black hair, eyes the same as the night sky, her hair is tied up high, and she has a gentle expression, and her facial features are somewhat similar to Gordon's younger sister Xiona.

Long stared at the oil painting, his eyes were full of fanaticism and fascination.However, the focus of his eyes was not on the noble lady, but on the necklace she wore around her neck—a peculiar gear-shaped ornament made of gray stone.

"Stone of Destiny, I must get you!" Longe murmured silently as if in a daze.

……

Gordon, who has a lot of time without going to work in the cemetery for the time being, has spent the past two days very comfortably.If one ignores the fact that he was being targeted by the demon lord and the heavy debt of the three thousand gold coins, this is almost his ideal life—well, it would be even better if he had a beautiful maid who could warm the bed.

He spent a lot of time studying the two magic books he found from Mendoza.

"Choras' Alchemy Encyclopedia" was snatched from an unlucky guy named Choras after Mendoza killed an alchemist.

This alchemy encyclopedia records the formulas of dozens of medicines, as well as the experience of processing and extracting a large number of raw materials.The system told Gordon that if he finished reading "Jorath's Alchemy Encyclopedia", he would get 400 experience points and improve his alchemy skills by 5 levels.

In fact, for Gordon, relying on alchemy to make magic potions is a more profitable method than making magic items.

Although the profit per piece of magic items is much higher than that of magic potions, but the output is too low. Even for low-end magic items like the Xiongfeng Ring, Gordon can only make at most one piece a day.

As for the production of magic potions, since there is no complex and precise procedure such as drawing rune circles with a high probability of failure, it takes much less time.The biggest factor that restricts the output of magic potions is the spell slots of mages.

For example, an ordinary level 3 mage has two level [-] spell slots.Even if he memorizes the Feather Fall spell in both spell slots, he can only make two bottles of Feather Fall potion a day.

But Gordon, who uses mana to cast spells, is different.Level-2 spells consume 60 points of mana. Now that he has 30 points of mana, he can make [-] bottles of level-[-] magic potions a day.

Gordon thought it would be a good idea to make money by making magic potions.Before finishing reading "Choras' Alchemy Encyclopedia" and improving his alchemy attainments, he decided to prepare some alchemy materials first.

After activating the silver brooch Douro gave him, Gordon sent a message.

Not long after, "Duro's Treasure Chest" delivered the materials Gordon ordered.But what surprised him was that the person who delivered the goods was not a guy in the store, but Du Luo himself.

"Mr. Gordon, aren't you going to invite me in?" Du Luo stood at the door, smiling honestly on his big bearded face.

Gordon stepped aside: "I'd be happy to, please come in."

Passing through the dilapidated long corridor on the first floor, stepping on the stairs that creaked as soon as they stepped on it, as if they would collapse completely with a little force, the two came to Gao Deng's small study on the second floor.

Along the way, Douluo kept looking around.He already had a full understanding of the financial situation of the Gordon family.However, the fat shopkeeper did not show any look of contempt, or he did not even make any conspicuous facial expressions, so as not to touch the sensitive self-esteem of the down-and-out noble mage—even though Gordon did not have such a ridiculous expression. thing.

"You made a special trip to visit. What's the matter? Is my Xiongfeng ring sold out?" Gordon asked straight to the point.

According to noble etiquette, he should ask his servants to bring black tea or coffee as a treat first, but Gordon obviously did not have such a condition.And Douluo, who was born as a mercenary, didn't care about these details.

"Hmm..." Du Luo, who had worked as a mercenary for decades and hadn't adapted to the beating style of businessmen, hesitated a little, and smiled wryly, "Mr. Gordon, I came here specifically to find you. Rings. Because for so many days, none of those rings have been sold."

"Uh..." Gordon had imagined many situations, but he hadn't thought of this one.

"Can you tell me the details?"

"Specific situation?" Douro was stunned, "What other specific situation is there? I put a few of your rings in the most prominent position in the store, and then let the guys try their best to sell them. Isn't that enough? Other stores are also the same. You did that!"

"My simple and honest friend, haven't you considered the consumer group that the Xiongfeng ring is facing?"

"Simple and honest" is not a good adjective for a businessman.Du Luo's complexion was a bit ugly, but what he cared more about was the new term "consumer group".

Gordon continued: "Have you considered selling the Xiongfeng Ring to those people?"

"Of course the rich."

"That's right. But the products in your store are mainly sold to mercenaries and adventurers, right?"

"What's wrong with mercenaries and adventurers? Among this group, there are many rich people." Douro retorted.

"Indeed." Gordon did not deny Douro, "Among the mercenaries and adventurers, there are many rich people, and they are even willing to spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy equipment to enhance their strength."

Gordon changed the subject: "But for a businessman, judging whether a customer is rich is not based on how much money the customer has in his pocket, but how much he is willing to spend in the store. Obviously, almost no There will be adventurers who are interested in the ring of glory I made."

"Why? Male adventurers are human beings, and they need women."

"Yes, you are right again, Mr. Douro. But you overlooked one point. Most adventurers need to go through rigorous training to ensure their physical fitness, and hone themselves in harsh battles. Do you think these healthy and strong Adventurers, do you need a small ring to improve your male abilities? Selling the Great Wind Ring to them is just as meaningless as selling sunscreen ointment to the dark elves in the Underdark.”

Gordon's words finally woke up Douro. The fat businessman smiled wryly and said, "I thought that I had many years of experience as an adventurer and dealt with many businessmen, which was enough. But I didn't expect that I just ran a small business. It's a small store, but it's already beyond the scope of its capabilities... By the way, Mr. Gordon, what should I do next to sell the Xiongfeng Ring?"

After a little consideration, Gordon said: "I believe that with Mr. Douluo's connections, there must be people you know in those entertainment venues in Clear Water City, especially high-end entertainment venues. You can use them to come forward to patronize." Rich people sell Xiongfeng rings. You can also directly hire people to sell them door-to-door in rich people’s residential areas. You can even try your luck at the Eros Church. Ms. Anisha’s believers appreciate this kind of ring that can enhance the relationship between husband and wife Gadgets, you should be very interested."

"Oh my god, are you a voter of Goddess Vol'jin?" Douro stood up excitedly and gave Gordon a bear hug.If he hadn't turned his head away in time, maybe Gordon would still be pricked by the opponent's thick beard.

Ignoring Gordon's embarrassed expression, Douro said: "Mr. Gordon, I have a proposal. How about becoming my partner and jointly managing 'Duro's Treasure Box'? I can give you [-]% of the store's profits."

Douro was once an adventurer, wandering on the edge of danger and life and death for a long time.This kind of experience determines his acting style, which has little overlap with words such as prudence, prudence, and deliberation.

He admitted that his idea of ​​enlisting Gordon was a whim, but he never admitted that it was a stupid idea.

From the conversation just now, Douluo realized that his business talent was very limited. It might be okay to maintain a small shop, but it was very difficult to make a lot of money.However, Gordon's knowledge and ability are far beyond his own.

And Gordon is also an enchanter who can make the ring of glory.Not only that, but Gordon just asked the store to send him a batch of alchemy materials - Douro immediately deduced that Gordon was about to start making magic potions.

An enchanter, an alchemist, and a business mind!Such characters happen to be short on money.Douluo felt that if he didn't spend all his money to win over the opponent now, he might not have this chance in the future. ;
