Salvatore's seemingly very rational behaviors were basically because he "adopted the opinions of senior Salvatore."
As for the questions that Senior Sister Valtore is too lazy to care about, and the questions that Salvatore stubbornly refuses to listen to, they generally appear to be very hesitant and immature... In the end, they will most likely end up because of "not listening to the old man's words".
regret.
It is precisely because of this that Salvatore has been in a state of "Save me Dora Sal" all year round in Noah.
He produced a lot of messy by-products with no known use, and they were placed in Salvatore's shop.
There are quite a number of products with "weird functions" that even make Annan think they are good. They are even things that cannot be bought in other people's stores.
So Annan bought a batch and treated it as taking care of his business.
Some of these things are very useful.
For example, take a mirror: if you shine it with light for a period of time, it can then cross the obstacle and reflect gems up to a hundred meters away.
This mirror is actually a by-product of Salvatore's desire to create a "mirror that can stabilize video calls." He tried to solidify that ritual into the mirror, but failed.
Annan bought it and planned to let Demetrius take it to the Poison Fern Pillar in the Province of St. Alexei to find a gemstone vein that Annan had seen in his nightmare.
Salvatore also created a strange petrifying poison - real petrification. It can turn the internal organs of animals that are taken into stone and cannot change back.
Annan plans to try to see if it can be used as a residue-free pesticide after diluting it...
This is a mixture he tried to cure an old lady's kidney stones, but failed to develop. In the same batch, there is also a "fossil-to-mud mixture" that can easily melt stones into a highly viscous mud - which may be used
Infrastructure.
There is also a man who used to be an asbestos worker.
Asbestos is also one of the commonly used conversion materials. Many fireproof materials require the use of asbestos for conversion, and the consumption is not small - but in order to facilitate portability and use, asbestos will be made into asbestos cloth tapes and processed into a roll of toilet paper
size.
Perhaps because of the versatility of magic, people in this era did not know that asbestos was a strong carcinogen. However, asbestos workers' "stone lung disease" has been discovered - as long as they are exposed to asbestos, they may be inhaled and invisible to the naked eye.
Asbestos fibers are deposited in the lungs, causing fibrosis of the lung tissue.
On Earth, it is considered a terminal disease - asbestos-related diseases are difficult to cure.
In this world, it is another kind of terminal disease: it can be cured in theory, but no one who suffers from it can afford the money to treat it.
It is a disease involving "a large amount of foreign matter in the body" and involves "organic lesions of internal organs". It also does not contain a curse and does not contain a virus... This makes the magic of "regeneration" completely ineffective against it.
You must use the "Purification" type of magic to clear the foreign matter - which means you need to ask Mr. Yao's bishop to treat it.
Moreover, after the foreign matter is removed, a bishop who can treat internal organ injuries must be restored, otherwise he will die from massive internal bleeding.
Two bishops are treating each other across the country, and ordinary people obviously cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.
In the same way, there are silicosis, thrombosis, tumors and stone disease - these are all serious diseases in this world. The main seriousness of it is that it requires joint treatment by two kinds of bishops from the "gold and silver group"...
However, it is almost impossible for priests from the Theocracy to travel to other countries. So the only way is to ask the priests of the Silver Lord, who are extremely rare in the Theocracy, to assist in treatment.
Of course it will cost more.
For Noah, who has banned civilian subways, this disease is a terminal illness. Because Sir Silver's magic cannot cure "proliferative" or "foreign body" diseases.
But Salvatore doesn't believe in evil.
Relying on his experience in treating the old lady, he spent two weeks to make a compound mixture that could treat "stone lung disease". Its treatment principle is to put transformation spells into the body to remove fibrosis.
The asbestos in the lungs turns into a blood clot. It is then treated with a special mixture for treating pulmonary embolism.
But this compound mixture involved magical attachment, and the cost alone was as high as three gold coins, not counting labor. Symptomatic medicine also needed to be specially prepared... In the end, the man was saved, but Salvatore fell ill.
In order to treat this man, Salvatore produced a large number of semi-finished medicines that could locate and mark foreign objects in the body. He planned to reprocess this batch of medicines and transform them into "gunshot wound treatment medicines" that could immediately remove bullets from the body.
"Master Benjamin would be proud of you."
Annan said this about him.
But Salvatore disagreed.
"We are just researchers. What is research not research?"
Salvatore shrugged: "If you ask them to study the Philosopher's Stone, wouldn't it be impossible to make it? In that case, why not make something that can actually solve the needs?
"Of course, it may be limited by the direction of research, and it may not be convenient for them to do it. Other wizards may need to make money from their own research to supplement their own funds... But I don't need it, I am rich.
"Since I am not short of money now, and there is no urgent research topic, I think I should also use the money to help those in need - what is research not research?
"Now that I have researched it, people in the future can do less research. If they inherit my research notes, they can avoid many detours. I think all the pain in this world will be cured sooner or later, but it is limited to today.
technical deficiencies.
"Then I am not wasting it, but spending it in advance...I am using my money to pay for future research."
As he said this, he gave Annan a few wads of banknotes in his backhand: "And you see, I am still very rich."
There is only one denomination of banknotes in this world, which is equivalent to one "Noah's Gold Coin". This banknote is equivalent to the purchasing power of one Noah's Gold Coin - because the gold content of gold coins in different countries is different, but the specifications of silver coins are exactly the same.
, so you still have to exchange them for silver coins when using them.
When Annan felt the thickness of the banknotes at that time, he knew that the pile contained one hundred banknotes.
And Salvatore handed Annan six stacks.
...Although Pope Huiyao IV also had a deal with Grand Duke Annan and invested 10 million in five years for Lin Dong, Lin Dong would not be short of money in the next few years. But among these 10 million, there are
Fifty percent will be used to pay off the debt with goods.
In other words, Huiyao IV wanted him to give money to Annan, and Annan would distribute the money to the people in the name of work, and then let the people buy the goods from Noah and delivered to the Archduke of Winter. In this way, Annan would increase the number of people.
People's living standards in winter - and some inventory can also be cleared.
After all, storage also costs money.
In other words, only one million gold coins actually flow in every year, and this value is six or seven times the annual tax revenue of the Principality of Winter.
In Noah, a well-bred war horse only cost about 20 gold coins. In the dead of winter, the purchasing power was even greater - in a medium-sized city, the tax revenue for a whole year might not reach 600 pounds.
"This money is not for the Principality of Winter."
Salvatore asked patiently: "This is for you alone.
"I know that with your personality, you would be embarrassed to spend money from the treasury for personal expenses. You might even be frugal... But you are growing in health now, and you are still a prince - frugality is outrageous.
.
"If there is something you want to eat, just buy it directly. During the holidays, you can also buy some gifts for Her Royal Highness Maria. Because this is not the principality's money, but your money... There is no need to worry, I
He is very rich. I am not short of money either."
I do know this.
Your guess is correct. It is true that I will not use the national treasury for personal expenses, but... why did you give me pocket money?
What is your relationship with me?
Did I do something that warrants payment?
Do I look like I'm short of money?
——You are relatively short of money, right?!
Annan held a few thick wads of banknotes and fell silent.
