Five days later, the warlocks produced the third batch of pesticides, and the cost dropped from twenty-one gold coins per pound to nineteen gold coins.
Alfred beat the warlock again, and Hosea warned him: "My lord, this is not the fault of the warlocks. The materials for making magic medicine are too expensive! Urine wax and yellow stone, you should know the price of these things!
"
"That's Reggie Victor who deceived us! This despicable and shameless man, it's unworthy of me to trust him so much!"
The angry Alfred found Reggie and shouted loudly; "I gave you one million gold coins without any delay, but what did you give me? A useless formula!"
Reggie curled his lips and said: "You bought the product for one million gold coins, instead of giving me one million gold coins, and there is nothing wrong with my formula. I just use it to make the magic medicine!"
"How could you be willing to use nineteen gold coins to make a pound of magic medicine and then give these medicines to others!"
"Nineteen gold coins? This is too exaggerated." Reggie stared at Alfred's magic medicine for a long time, shook his head and said: "You forgot to add water. I wrote it very clearly on the formula. You can
Mix in at least twenty times the amount of water."
Reggie gave Alfred the method for preparing dichlorovinyl phosphate in the laboratory. This method cannot prepare high-concentration dichlorvos (it’s not that Reggie refused to teach it, Tianxing Kingdom does not have the ability to produce high-concentration dichlorvos).
), but the prepared solution also has a concentration of 5%.
In actual use, such a high concentration is not required. 0.2% is enough, so the prepared dichlorvos can be mixed with twenty times more water.
However, the warlocks were worried that the medicine would not be effective, so they never dared to mix it with water.
But even after adding water, one pound of potion still costs ninety-five silver coins, and one hundred pounds of potion costs ninety-five gold coins. Alfred still couldn't believe that Reggie would give such an expensive potion to others.
In this era, the raw materials of dichlorvos were indeed very luxurious, but Reggie's urine wax was boiled from sea water, and yellowstone was refined from slag, so his production cost was far less high.
Naturally, Reggie would not tell Alfred the source of the raw materials. He wanted to tell Alfred a touching story.
"I have high-quality urine wax passed down from my ancestors, and there are also a lot of yellow stones on the Lost Mountain. I can use my family wealth to make magic medicine."
"And then give it to others for free?"
"I can get endless wealth by selling the urine wax of the Victor family, but I would rather leave this wealth to the heroes who fight against the evil! This is the belief that the Victor family adheres to!"
Reggie was looking forward to Alfred's tears, but Alfred was salivating and wanted to spit on Reggie's face right away.
But he had nothing to do with Reggie now. Although he knew Reggie was talking nonsense, he could only maintain restraint.
He wanted the formula, and Reggie gave him the formula, and the potion was actually made. No flaws or loopholes could be found from beginning to end.
This was a bet set by Alfred himself. Now that he was missing one move, the emperor was willing to accept defeat and decided to take a step back temporarily.
"I am willing to buy another one million gold coins worth of goods. According to your rules, you should also give me ten million pounds of magic medicine."
Reggie smiled and said: "This is really tempting, but it's a pity that I can't bring out so many products anymore."
"Emperor Suixue, what's going on? You don't dare to gamble anymore?"
"No need to gamble anymore," Reggie shook his head, "I have already lost the bet. The statues of the thirty-two Heavenly Star Emperors are not commodities, but gifts from me. I will return the thirty-two thousand gold coins."
For you."
Reggie asked someone to move the gold coins to Alfred: "I failed to provide a product worth one million gold coins. According to the bet, I not only lost the formula, but also lost you ten million pounds of miracle medicine.
But I have too few cargo ships and need to allocate transportation. I made a rough calculation and I'm afraid it will take several years."
For two full minutes, Alfred could not say a word. The feeling was very special, not moved at all, but also a little angry.
He was defeated by Reggie, who gave him enough dignity and face, leaving him no chance to get angry or even find fault.
Hogia choked beside him and said: "Emperor Suixue, thank you for your generosity, thank you!"
"What else do you want to do?" Alfred looked at Hosea angrily, "Do you want to kneel down to him? Get out of here!"
No matter how angry Alfred was, Hosea still insisted on leaving after saluting. Alfred, who had been crazy for half his life, had a headache. He rubbed his temples and said to Reggie: "Tell me, what do you want?"
What?"
Reggie smiled and said, "I want a friend."
This was Reggie's original and ultimate goal. No matter how many twists and turns occurred in the process, this goal has never changed.
"I think we have become friends," Alfred smiled, "I will serve as your witness without any compensation."
"That won't work..."
"Enough!"
As soon as Reggie spoke, he was interrupted by Alfred: "Let me do something, okay? Let me get some face back, okay!"
Reggie said: "If your interests are not involved, I'm afraid you won't provide help to me once a war breaks out."
"Do you need my help?" Alfred sneered, "You just need the status and reputation of Tianxing Kingdom."
…
At dawn the next day, Alfred boarded the airship and headed to the first subject country, the Golden Spike Country, with Reggie.
This is a very small country, with no cities and only six small towns. However, this country has flat and fertile land. As far as the eye can see, there are endless waves of golden wheat.
The two parties met in Yuancang Town in the center of the Golden Spike Kingdom. Alfred asked Chris to serve as a witness. This was an excellent opportunity to improve the status of the kingdom, and Chris naturally would not refuse.
After getting off the airship, Reggie and Chris hugged Matthias one after another, while Alfred vomited for a long time with the help of several people.
He was indeed a little dizzy when he first boarded the airship, but Alfred stayed on the airship for a few days, and his condition was not that bad. The reason why he made such an exaggerated move seemed to be to express his disgust towards the people in the White Tower.
.
"Lord Victor, this territory transfer is entirely based on the friendship between us. It is enough to have His Majesty Chris as the certifier. Why do you have to mobilize troops and invite the Sky Star Emperor?"
Reggie said: "This is to show respect for your country."
Matthias asked in surprise: "Isn't Chris's status as His Majesty enough to witness this delivery ceremony?"
What an embarrassing question. Naturally, Reggie couldn't answer it. Chris smiled easily and said, "Thank you, Mr. Head of State, for your trust. As a young king, I still have a lot to learn. It's also great to have the guidance of Emperor Tianxing."
My pleasure."
Chris answered the question cleverly, but Matthias pointed the finger elsewhere.
"I seem to have forgotten, when did you inherit the throne?"
This is a puzzling and embarrassing question.
Chris's throne was not inherited, and Matthias asked the question as if he had never attended Chris's coronation ceremony.
What does this mean? Is it a threat? Does he want to threaten Chris with the legitimacy of the coronation ceremony?
Reggie frowned and said: "Master Head of State, we are all witnesses to the coronation of the new king. Did you forget it so quickly?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten it, it's just that I was expelled from the country at that time..." Matthias smiled strangely, "Let's not mention it for now, the ceremony will start soon."
