Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 117 Family Contradictions

It's funny, Claude's been head of the Normanly Forest Farm for over two months, but he hasn't been paid once. When Lady Maria returned to Wang Du, in order to help Claude stay in the forest, she not only wrote a letter to Mr. Morsan, but also left a gold ticket of ten gold kroner.

This is a golden ticket issued by the National Bank of the Town, which means that there is an account in the bank that holds 10 gold kroner, which can be used to withdraw 10 gold kroner, or to collect money piecemeal on several occasions, simply by replacing this gold ticket with an account book.

Mrs. Maria left Mr. Morsan with this golden ticket, which means Claude was the head of her family's forest farm and her monthly salary was taken from the account of this golden ticket. And Mr. Morsan, as Claude's father, can tell from this golden ticket how much Mrs. Maria weighs on Claude, so that he won't stop Claude from going to the woodland as a director.

Ten gold crowns is a huge sum for the citizens of White Deer Town, but for Lady Maria it's just a little bit of money. With this small sum of money, Claude was given a huge favor, and Mrs. Maria was happy to leave her home to study magic and pharmacology freely in the woods.

Especially after Claude gave Mrs. Maria the structure chart of her five rare basic spells, Mrs. Maria felt that she owed Claude a great debt of gratitude, so she went to the town hall and wrote Mr. Morsan a sealed letter employing Claude as forest manager before leaving, leaving this golden ticket to force Mr. Morsan to agree. Because if Mr. Morsan refuses, it means he offends Mrs. Maria.

That's why Claude became head of the Normanly Forest Farm before he was 18, and many people in town envied Claude's shitty luck, enjoyed Mrs. Maria's favor, and had a well-paid job as young as his father, Mr. Morsan. But Claude had money around him and never wanted to go to his father for a salary.

It's just that Claude didn't think it would cost him that much to do the alchemy experiment, not to mention the cost of setting up a small study, just purchasing the raw materials for the experiment and the primary treatment solution would cost him the same amount of money, and now there's less than one silver taller left, which makes Claude feel like a poor egg all at once.

Results also include more than 40 crystalline drug tubes and more than 20 bottles of perfectly quality primary therapeutics. He also put the captured swords and hunting crossbows into the Alchemy Charm Array and reworked them, but he didn't know how to enchant them, nor did he say it in the diary of Master Landers, so he just increased the strength of the swords and hunting crossbows and changed the way they were. Harvest also, he figured out how to exercise metal objects in the alchemy magic charm array.

If Claude is going to continue his alchemy experiment, the first thing he has to do is solve the material's financial problems. I still have nine Sullivan gold coins in my hand, but Claude feels a little hurt if I get them in Julian's shop to redeem them. After all, that underground magic market uses Sullivan gold as the standard trading gold coin. Claude doesn't know if he will go there to buy any combat magic or magic materials in the future, so it's best to keep these nine Sullivan gold coins.

Master Landers also mentioned in his diary how to make a Sullivan gold coin in the Alchemy Character Array. When he was promoted to a second-ring grammar, he said that he had made Sullivan gold coins specially for some time in the Magic Tower. He can make up to seven Sullivan gold coins a day, and has been awarded the title of Master of the Magic Tower, Master of the Seven Rings of Rohnke. Because other magicians make only five Sullivan gold coins a day, the Landers magician is rewarded with the first Sullivan gold coin of his life.

Claude is just a loop grammar and is not yet able to make Sullivan gold coins in the Alchemy Character Array. And making a Sullivan gold coin isn't that simple, it needs to be complemented by four other magic materials. One of these magic materials, green gold powder, has been found nowhere on the Farea continent, and only on the island of Higros, where the wicked magician is dominating. So it's impossible to melt two or three gold crowns into a Sullivan gold coin and exchange it for a rich dream.

On the way home, Claude suddenly thought of his salary, three silver tallers a month, and then six silver tallers in two months, enough to buy himself some of the cheapest raw materials for some alchemy experiments. For example, I've thought about it before, I can try to make a barrel and the rest of the accessories in the alchemy magic array to see if I can make a firearm. Metal ore is cheap anyway, maybe I can invent a revolver...

Mr. Morsan looked up in amazement and said to Claude, "No money? I remember selling your Niros crocodile and breaking up with five silver tallers. How did you spend all that money? ”

Claude couldn't help but laugh: "Father, this was a year ago, when I'd spent all the money I'd broken up with. Now that I learn pharmacology, a lot of it needs to be done in person to get to know it. It takes a lot of money to buy those medicines and test set materials...”

Forget about the five silver tallers, if Mr. Morsan knew that Claude had actually spent fifteen gold kroners a year wondering if he would have had a heart attack or a thunderstorm. Money is hard to earn without spending. Whatever the world is, it's a truth.

Claude had asked Bok Al to sell a Sullivan gold coin at a high price of fifteen gold kroner. He had not met Mrs. Maria at that time and did not know that Sullivan gold coins could be exchanged for 20 gold crowns in the underground magic market.

Claude thought the fifteen gold kroners were enough for him to spend several years, so he always had big feet. Anyway, he thought buying some delicious new clothes for his brothers and sisters, eating a few good books with his buddies wouldn't cost much, he didn't go to women and don't gamble. If he had money, he couldn't afford to lose himself.

In fact, the cost is really small, and it costs about two gold kroners a year. But Claude herself didn't expect to know that after meeting Mrs. Maria, she found out about the fat old man Julian's underground acquisition point and found all the magic materials that set up the Alchemy Character Array.

So his wallet didn't fit, and his savings poured out like water. The alchemy magic charm is still Sullivan gold coins, just two more gold kroner. But with the Alchemy Character Array, he had to arrange a room to buy furniture, and spend money on raw materials and medicines for the Alchemy Magic Experiment, which cost nearly ten gold crowns alone. Aside from anything else, crystalline raw ore is expensive. Claude spent more than 20 silver taller acquisitions and only made more than 40 crystalline drug tubes...

Mr. Morsan stopped talking, and he kowtowed the pipe in his hand in an iron ashtray on the table, stood up and said to Claude, "Follow me. ”

Claude followed his father to the study on the second floor, where Mr. Morsan sat down behind the desk, pulled out a set of keys from his pocket, found a small copper key, opened the drawer of the desk, and took out a small book with a gold National Bank badge from the inside and placed it on the table:

“This is Mrs. Maria's account book for the ten gold kroners that she had entrusted me with paying you monthly. But you've grown up, and after this year, you're an adult, so I'll give you this account book, and in the future, your own salary will be drawn from it. I'm busy, I don't have time, I often forget to pay you, so you're on your own. Besides, I hope you have restraint and don't take money that doesn't already belong to you. ”

Claude nodded, but was counting whether to go to the bank to pick up a little more, so he could buy more material to test.

Mr. Morsan sighed and pushed the green National Bank account on the table to Claude.

Claude took a step forward and picked up the account book: "Thank you, Father. ”

“Claude, you're a smart kid. The older you get, the better you get. Perhaps the Fields will depend on you in the future. In the future, you should take care of your brothers and sisters and not make your mother angry...” Mr. Morsan's face showed a reluctant smile.

Something was wrong, and Claude always thought the atmosphere at home was strange, especially when his father would say something like that, which was strange.

“Father, are you all right?” Claude measured Mr. Morsan.

Mr. Morsan waved his hand and picked up his pipe: "It's okay, you go ahead. I have some business to take care of here. ”

Claude went downstairs and saw her sister Angelina coming home from school, which would be washing her mother's big pickles. Claude walked over and asked her if anything had happened at home...

My sister whispered to Claude that there was another party at home the night before yesterday. However, the atmosphere of the party was not very good, the quarrel was fierce, and the guests fought and ended up unhappy. Father and a few friends stayed in the study until midnight and didn't know what to discuss. Since she had not been down in her bedroom, she had only heard fights and fights and did not know exactly what had happened.

However, the atmosphere at home was depressing for two days, and the father did not go to the town hall for two days, and the mother was in a bad mood. Little Brooke used to argue about what to eat, and his mother beat him up, and his father and mother fought, and he still doesn't talk to each other in the Cold War. As for Albert, this product is very knowledgeable. I don't want to get stuck between my parents as an air vent, I won't go home, I don't know where I went...

No wonder the atmosphere at home was so strange when the father and mother had a fight. Claude explains that parents' families can't get themselves involved and will be fine in a few days, and that doesn't have to worry about themselves. It is now after 5: 00 and the National Bank is already closed, so it looks like it will not be possible to pick up the materials until tomorrow. Claude's mind flew to the Alchemy Test again.

After a pretty good dinner, Claude packed his clothes in the attic, spent half a day with his brother and little snow dog, touched his sister's hair, said goodbye to his mother's father, and drove his carriage back to the woods.

Next, do some metal forging and refining alchemy experiments, go to the bank tomorrow to collect the money, then go to the big iron hammer blacksmith shop in Zhennan to buy some metal minerals, if you buy a little, you shouldn't have to spend a lot of money, but the metal forging in the alchemy spell array also need to buy some supporting magic materials, like white root powder you already use, you also have to buy a box...

Claude was driving the wagon and counting how much test material he needed to buy, and suddenly he remembered, by the way, that if he was going to make a barrel, he could go to Ericsson and borrow his flame rope. After all, your alchemy magic array is only valid for one meter. The barrel of your own fireline gun can be one meter and two long. It's not that easy to do the same long barrel.

If you try to make a short barrel first, you can save a lot of material, or you can make a short barrel gun first, make sure it works, and then change your flare gun to a flare gun. That's a good idea, that's it.

Claude pulled the reins, turned the wagon around, and drove off to the private pier of the Erickson family.
