Chapter 665 Where in life is there no gossip

Another cold and miserable night passed. Early the next morning, facing the fiery red sun, I saw the figure of the young man from yesterday standing quietly at the door of the Mages Guild.

I don't know whether it was the cold air in the early morning or the sharp eyes of the guild guard, but this young man, who still had a hint of childishness but had already stepped into the muddy industry of local snakes, hugged his hands tightly and curled up slightly.

The body was shivering.

When I got closer, I found that the other person was already half wet with morning dew and had some grass clippings on his body. It seemed that not only before the light appeared, he had clearly been standing here waiting in the middle of the night.

Seeing this sincerity, it seemed that I couldn’t embarrass him too much. I nodded with satisfaction and strode forward.

"Sir...Sir Alsace, I am Gilleb, and I am here."

The young man named Gilleb was trembling, looking into the guild from time to time, and then immediately turned back in fear under the guard's sharp questioning gaze.

For local snakes like them who hang out at the bottom, the Magic Guild is like the legendary paradise garden, inhabited by a group of powerful and mysterious wise men. Even the guards are so terrifying and unattainable that they are simply not capable of it.

Close.

In fact, the local snakes have never come within one kilometer of the Mages Guild. They are afraid that those mysterious mages will suddenly capture them on a whim and use them as living experiment materials from thousands of meters away.

Awe - this is the world's true understanding of the Mage Guild. It is not like the camp in the first world. Because of Farah, the explosive demon, the Mage Guild has suffered a lot in terms of mystery and image. The civilians there, at least

There will be no such respect for the existence of the Mage Guild as here.

Relatively speaking, the atmosphere in the first world camp is much more harmonious than here. Akara has a high position and has supreme majesty. At the same time, he also has a friendly image. Many civilian children will call Akara affectionately and respectfully when they pass by.

Grandma Akara is something Hagas can't match. She can make adventurers nod kindly to her, but she can't make all civilians nod kindly to her.

Gilleb already regrets a little. With his bad mouth, why did he agree to meet the other party at the gate of the Mages Guild yesterday? Isn't this asking for abuse? What if he was taken to the experiment by some black-robed mage before the other party came?

In the room, what should I do?

Gilleb wanted to run away, but he was unwilling to let such a big deal go to waste. He waited here in the middle of the night, wandering around and curling up, as if this way the probability of being discovered by the mage would be smaller. The surrounding grass

It was already covered with the footprints of his hesitation and fear.

Fortunately, the other party came, much earlier than he expected, which made Gilleb even more sure that the other party was a gentle and kind-hearted adventurer, and he was lucky this time.

"Okay, stop barking and let's go."

I rolled my eyes secretly. Isn't he afraid that when he calls his name, Gilleb, so loudly, he will immediately be hit by a subconscious magic from adventurers who are eager to brush runes?

It's still the restaurant from yesterday, and it's still the same big wooden table for three people. Gilleb feels very bad now. This is an adventurer's paradise, surrounded by powerful adventurers. He now feels like a wolf that has strayed into the restaurant.

A flock of lambs, a sharp sight passing by can make him tremble for a long time.

"Ahem, sit down and have something to eat."

I coughed a few times and pointed to the chair opposite me. I forgot for a moment that the other person was just a civilian. Coming to a place like this would probably be very stressful.

Under Gilleb's stiff movements, breakfast time ended quickly.

"So, have you brought anything?"

I wiped my mouth unscrupulously, ignoring the frightened look in his eyes like a lost little lamb, and asked like this.

"Bring it, bring it."

When it came to business, under the magic of money, Gilleb seemed to calm down a bit, and hurriedly took out a delicate oval small sack hanging on his waist. This was a small bag used by adventurers to store gems.

, it was probably a bit worn out and was thrown away casually, and then Gilleb picked it back as if it were a treasure, and was reluctant to use it at ordinary times.

Soon, Gilleb placed these two herbs on the table. I picked them up pretendingly, held them in my hand, looked at them carefully, and then smelled them with my nose.

In fact, to me, who has never had any knowledge in this area, most herbs, except for a slight difference in color, look the same as weeds.

Judging from the appearance, it is similar to the illustration given by Akara before leaving, and Gilleb looks confident, so there should be no difference. Forget it, let’s leave the confirmation for last.

I gently put down the two herbs, and looked at Gilleb. More sweat began to leak out from his forehead, and his eyes were a little hesitant. I probably thought I had made some mistake.

"Yes, but I want to know, where can I find these herbs and how many are there?" After I asked this question, Gilleb breathed a sigh of relief, and then became cautious again.

"There are many, which should be able to meet the needs of adults, but the location..."

After saying that, he showed an embarrassed expression. After all, if the other party paid attention to it, it would also involve business secrets. If he told the other party and he went to get it directly, he would not get a single change from this transaction, so, in

Under the attraction of money, he still has to protect his own interests even when facing a big shot like an adventurer.

"If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I'll give you two options. One is that you tell me the location and I'll pay you five thousand gold coins. The second is that you give me herbal medicines regularly in the future and I buy them with you."

I looked at Gilleb and easily understood what the other party was thinking, and then said this indifferently. In fact, it doesn’t matter to me whether the other party said it or not, and which plan I chose. No matter what the transaction process and form are, it doesn’t matter to me.

As long as I achieve the goal of obtaining enough medicinal herbs, it is about my baby sister, and I will never be stingy in this kind of place.

Five thousand gold coins?!

For a moment, Gilleb was in an out-of-body state, his mind was empty and there was nothing left.

What is the concept of five thousand gold coins to ordinary people? Even those big families who go out to be an adventurer cannot obtain such a huge amount of wealth all at once.

For Gilleb, with these five thousand gold coins, he can escape from the lowly industry of local snakes, cultivate a piece of land safely, raise some livestock, marry one or two wives, and live a peaceful life.

In this life, if the business is done well, even generations of future generations will be rich and worry-free.

Therefore, this is definitely a huge temptation. Judging from the appearance of this gentleman, he does not look like a person who would deceive ordinary people in such a lowly industry as himself. As long as he agrees to it, as long as he agrees to it...

Gilleb clenched his fists, and the veins on them stood out, and even a trace of blood oozed from them, which showed the fierce struggle in his heart.

"My lord, my lord...I..."

He felt that his mouth was dry, and these few words seemed to have drained all the water from his body, because his next decision, in no more than ten words, could determine the future of his life.

Hesitant and cautious.

"I...I choose the second option."

Finally, Gilleb bit his teeth and said this. Only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked with sweat. He sighed in exhaustion. He felt empty in his heart and felt an indescribable loss. Five thousand gold coins were enough to hold it.

A full wooden box just passed through his fingers. If he could choose again, he might not be able to feel so happy again.

The reason why he chose the second option was not because he couldn't trust the adventurer in front of him to give him this amount of money, which was expensive for the adventurer, but because he believed in the other person.

The reason why he made this decision was very simple. It was far less complicated and calculated than he imagined. The temptation of five thousand gold coins was too great. It was so great that he, a commoner with no big dreams, was at a loss for a while. He got this

With this amount of wealth, the goal that I have been striving for has been over-achieved, but what about in the future? I will just keep this wealth and spend the rest of my life in chaos?

Therefore, it is not that he thinks that the second option will get more gold coins in the long run. It is just hesitation and confusion about future life, a commoner-like instinct, that makes him choose the second option. It is understandable

, but it is not a wise choice.

"Very good, in this case..."

I pondered for a while and remembered that Akara did say, what is this... that... called? Taking into account the probability of failure, one of Tekunupu's herbs can produce a bottle's worth, while the other...

...Capumau? It takes about one and a half plants to produce one bottle.

Damn it, can the name of this herb be more normal, so as not to offend the tongue?

It's time for me to become the Emperor of Mathematics again. If Princess Sanwu is by my side at this time, I'm afraid she can blurt out the answer directly without going through her sophisticated brain. Her brain is a mutant species and cannot be compared with ordinary people.

Confused.

In other words, Lena now needs one bottle a day, which is one plant of Tekunupu, one and a half Kapu... Kapu Mara?

Forget it, this is probably the name anyway. According to the transaction volume once a month, and leaving some margin, then fifty Kapu Nupu plants, eighty Kapu plants...that...that...

Eh heh——?!

Ahem, that means fifty strains of the first herb and eighty strains of the second herb, that’s enough, you bastard! Don’t ask me why I suddenly got angry. Anyway, I just want to get angry, bastard! Get me all the pharmacists from all over the world.

Die, you bastard!!!

When I told Gilleb the amount, he patted his chest and was full of promises.

"I need it for a long time. You can't just pick it for short-term gain."

I still asked uneasily, fearing that this young man would get obsessed with money and kill the goose to obtain the eggs. Even I, an herbal idiot, knew that herbs should not be over-harvested. A piece of herb could only be harvested within a certain period of time.

Only in this quantity can they continue to grow.

"Sir, please rest assured. The younger one's father was also a pharmacist before, so he has some knowledge in this area and will not do anything stupid."

Gilleb answered carefully.

"Your father is a pharmacist, so what are you doing now..."

I looked at Gilleb hesitantly. Generally speaking, even a third-rate pharmacist would not be very poor.

"He died when I was young, before he could inherit the meager knowledge of apothecary." After a moment of silence, Gilleb said, with an indescribable indifference in his eyes.

"Then do the math. How much can you collect in the medicine field you own now at most in a month?"

I didn't ask further because of Gilleb's unusual behavior. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, especially in the dark continent shrouded in blood and death.

"Without affecting the medicinal fields, eighty Tekunupu and one hundred Kapu Mau." With a focused look on his face, Gilleb answered fluently without much thought.

As expected, he is the son of a pharmacist. He can pronounce such a difficult-to-pronounce medicine name in one breath.

Very good, almost twice the demand.

"Then you can trade according to this amount from now on, every month." I made no secret of my joy, clapped my hands and said, anyway, the more the merrier, and I don't lack the money.

After finalizing some specific matters, I stood up.
