Uli Sears Negron, who bought Lu En's Dragon's Blood.

This man is the owner of a winery, and he is also a scholar. It is said that he is a professional in Alchemy 5. He is quite powerful. He is always immersed in his own laboratory and even leaves his business to others to help him take care of it.

For this reason, he also runs a shop that fits his status as a scholar.

A bookstore.

The main reason is that human laws stipulate that book publishing needs to be reported to the local city hall through a bookstore, and then it can be published after being reviewed. As a scholar, Uli naturally also writes books. For the sake of convenience, he opened his own bookstore

Bookstore, used to apply for your own books.

Of course, this place doesn’t just sell books. Like most bookstores, it also accepts the writing of important articles or books. Moreover, this service is even more popular than books. There are always customers and the queue can stretch up to ten meters. After all, you can learn to read and write.

There are still a minority of people, so many literate people will choose a well-paying job like a clerk.

Kestor is such a clerk. He serves as a clerk in Uli's bookstore, helping illiterate nobles or soldiers, wealthy but poorly educated groups, to write letters or write articles, reports, etc.

something.

It is already late at night, but he is still doing the last job of the day. As I said before, this is a very popular service, and people in line can always line up ten meters outside the store.

However, other colleagues had already packed up and left. Only he and the store manager were still working. The reason was very simple...the store manager still needed to settle accounts today, and he had accepted some "voluntary work."

Come and find something to do for yourself, like now.

"Okay, the letter is written. You can take it to the post office and deliver it, and he will receive it." Kesto smiled and handed the letter to an old lady in front of him.

The old lady's hands were as cracked as the dry land. With a wrinkled face and a grateful expression, she took the letter and carefully put it away close to her body. Then she shiveringly took out ten dozen pieces of money from her worn-out money bag.

A copper coin: "Thank you then. My son hasn't come back for a long time, and I can't read... I can only write to him. I don't know how he is doing in the capital..."

"It's almost time for the post office to close now. Old lady, I'm afraid you can only take it in tomorrow. It won't open until seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember!" Kesto said a few words, and then grabbed the rusty ones.

He put the traced copper coins in his pocket, and then watched the grateful old lady leave.

Then, he started to clean up the table. You could clearly see piles of paper and books on the table, and you could also see half-sewn clothes and needlework. His income could not support him in everything.

I always go to a tailor. Unless I’m making new clothes, if there are any small cracks in the clothes, I have to sew and mend them myself.

Putting away his work paper and pen, he picked up his needle and thread and continued to mend his own clothes. Kesto sighed a little, because tomorrow, the store manager would definitely complain again about why he wrote letters to those poor people. Kesto has the most beautiful handwriting.

Clerk, many nobles want to ask him to write, and even some nobles who can write will specially look for him, because his handwriting has a cool and unrestrained temperament, and it is very dignified when used to write things like invitations. Because of this

This kind of thing makes the store manager hate him for wasting his labor on these poor people and not making much money.

Although a dozen copper coins is not a small amount of money for these poor people, it is obviously a very small amount of income for this bookstore. It makes no difference whether Kestor accepts it or not. The reason why he insists on collecting money is just because

He knew one thing very well. He would write letters to these people because he was soft-hearted, but these poor people may not be soft-hearted...

If he doesn't charge money, some heartless paupers will come to him and ask him to write letters for free. These will definitely fill up the bookstore, and then he will definitely be scolded by the store manager. He is kind, but he is not kind enough to do this.

The point where people are desperate.

Thinking about some chores, he continued to mend his clothes. The shop selling fabrics and woolen threads downstairs had increased their prices again. Buying a bundle of cotton threads actually cost fifteen copper coins. I heard that it was because of the expedition against monsters launched by the big shots above.

Before, the price of food increased, but now it’s cotton’s turn. Cotton fabrics such as cotton gauze and thread have increased by more than one-third. It’s really a fight between gods and mortals that suffers. In the near future, even iron may also increase in price.

Thinking about this, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Kestor raised his head and saw a girl standing in front of him, covering half of her face with her hair. She was quite cute and short, probably only twelve or thirteen years old.

Behind the girl, there is a man carrying a box. He is wearing a low-key black coat. The fabric of the coat is very good. He has an aura that is not found in the lower class. He may be a noble or a wealthy businessman.

Kesto has never seen him before, maybe he is not a local, because he knows about 50% to 60% of the local nobles. After all, he is a well-known clerk.

Facing such an untouchable big shot, even though it was already past his off-duty time, Kesto still had a business smile on his face: "Welcome, how can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Uli Sears Negron. Is he here?" The man came forward and said in a very magnetic voice.

He has a calm temperament, and although he is not particularly handsome, he is quite handsome. Even under the black coat, you can see that he is tall.

To be honest, Kesto felt that he traveled to the upper class society, worked for many nobles, and met many nobles and their guards, but none of them could compare to the man in front of him.

Just as Kestor was sizing up the other person, the attendant girl knocked on the door again, pulling him out of his observation.

He quickly stood up and said: "Sorry, sir, the boss doesn't come here very often. He only comes occasionally when there are books that need to be published. If you need to find the boss, I suggest you make an appointment with him directly by messenger."

There is no doubt that this man is Lu En.

Lu En nodded slightly and continued: "I know he doesn't come here often, but I also know he is here now, so I came here to look for him. Please go in and inform your store manager. He should know what to do."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Kesto turned around and walked towards the store manager's office.

The reason why he appears here is because Lu En took the initiative to contact the other party before, and the alchemist also sent him an urgent invitation, seeming to want to see him very much.
