Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 122: Time to Make Money

Claude took a hot bath and planted himself in bed. He was tired, and the two of us on the boat and Velikro took care of Erickson day and night, not only physically, but also mentally. I almost fell asleep in the bathtub. It would be dark as soon as I went to bed next to the pillow. It was not until my stomach was gobbling and I woke up hungry that I realized it was over 8: 00 the next morning.

Seems like you didn't eat yesterday at noon or at night... Claude, that's why you feel so hungry. Yesterday morning I ate two sandwiches on the boat and drank two glasses of rye wine to fill my stomach. When I came back, I took a bath and slept in bed until now. I slept for almost 20 hours and didn't eat anything.

Claude climbed up in the kitchen looking for food. Of course, there is no ready-made food in the kitchen either, except for a black loaf of bread sent by the Theories, which needs to be ordered or boiled again before food can be eaten in a while.

I'm so hungry... Claude picked up this black bread and couldn't really say anything. Knocked the table, the table was banged, and the black bread didn't even shed a scrap of bread. Famous march black bread, this is the main march dry food of the Royal Army.

There have been rumours that in one battle, a small unit of the enemy attacked the logistics department, as a result of which the cooks and helpers used these long, hard marching black breads as weapons, engaged in a physical battle with the enemy and successfully captured all his enemies, as all of them were knocked out by black bread...

This shows the degree of hardness of these marching black breads. If you don't have to burn them softly or soften them with hot water, your mouth can easily crumble your big teeth. Storage resistance, however, is the greatest advantage of this marching black bread, and in general, you don't have to worry about getting moldy or anything for six months.

Claude recalled that the two black breads the Theories had sent had been over a month ago. Last month, while studying in the pharmaceutical lab, they were lazy to cook, eliminating one. The smell was nothing but pale and rough, so the rest had been thrown in the kitchen.

They say Afis. When Baron Fong Normanly returned to White Deer Town to set up the woodland, the Theories relied on him to become a servant, help in the kitchen, and learn to make this marching black bread. It's like doing this march black bread needs to be incorporated into the blade, and this is a forest farm, and there's a lot of blade, so the saving Theories make these march black breads as their staple food for three meals.

Hungry feels really bad and empty, but Claude really doesn't have the courage to eat this black bread directly. Fortunately, there are still a few raw eggs left, and Claude beat two eggs and swallowed them before matting his stomach, which made the water hot and ready to cook himself a big meal.

There were some shortages of firewood, and Claude went out dressed and ready to move some firewood to the kitchen. As soon as the door was opened, a large bag of charcoal was found on the doorstep. Seems that Theorie is quite conscious and sends charcoal, saving herself time cutting wood.

After eating two large bowls of barley, Claude felt comfortable. Reminded of yesterday's agreement with Velikro, he went to the stables, pulled out the black horse Jamie and put him in the carriage, and drove off in the carriage to the town.

When I arrived at Ericsson's house, I found Vericulo running early in the morning. Erickson is still asleep, but the situation is good. Yesterday, after being treated by the obscene pharmacist at the pharmacy, he filled four or five bottles of a variety of medicines, got sweaty, woke up in the afternoon and ate a large bowl of oatmeal porridge.

According to the obscene pharmacist old man, Eriksson's life was preserved, except that he was immersed in cold water for a long time, combined with injuries to his thighs and excessive blood loss, and then he barely woke up on the beach. If Claude and Verricolo hadn't insisted on searching for Krewe Flying Fish Island, then Erickson would really be dead.

Because it took more than a day for Eriksson to be saved on the beach and the cold had already hurt her bones, her life was safe now, but she had to lie in bed for two or three months before she could recover. Otherwise, his body is very damaged due to this loss, it can easily turn into a sickly ghost, outside the weather slightly changed, he can easily catch cold and fever or something.

Mrs. Elena was very grateful to Claude and Verricolo for their help with Ericsson's life, and this time it was thanks to two people aboard to get Ericsson back. But because of the advice of the pharmacy's old pharmacist, she was still reluctant to send them to see Ericsson, even though she knew that they were close friends and that they were very close.

But the pharmacist said that it would be better if Alexon lay back in bed for the last 10 1/2 days and not let his emotions aggravate his illness. So after Mrs. Elena was very polite about the doctor's orders, Claude and Vericulo got up and said goodbye and declined Mrs. Elena's thank you.

Went out and boarded the carriage, and Vericulo said with sadness, "Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony, and Ericsson can't go to school to get his diploma. ”

Claude, that reminds me of going back to school tomorrow: "It's the 25th. It's going so fast. I really forgot if you don't tell me. I have to go home and remind my parents they're going to school tomorrow. Where are you going, by the way? I'll drop you off first. ”

Verricolo thought, “Take me to the pier at Ericsson's, I put all my fishing gear in his room, and if I'm all right in the afternoon, I'll go fishing by the lake. ”

You're so big, you haven't forgotten to go fishing yet. Claude couldn't help but spit that Verricolo was addicted to fishing, which was a disease that had to be cured.

Verikero sighed, not much to refute, and said later, now that he doesn't fish, he won't have to fish.

Claude was surprised to ask what he meant by that, but Vericulo didn't say anything, so he tripped his mouth and quickly reached the pier. Uncle Pegg opened the door and let the carriage into the pier. Because of curiosity, Claude followed Verricolo to Erickson's room.

Erickson's room at the pier was actually the secret base of four good friends. It's just that this year, without everyone hanging out, Ericsson cleaned up his room and used it as a dock for himself, not sleeping at home on vacation, but living here, so he could take a small fishing boat to the lake and wander around.

Most of the fishing gear in the room was Eriksson and Velikro, but Claude saw Eriksson's short flame rope gun hanging on the wall, and he couldn't help but reach down and take it off.

Verricolo sees Claude playing with this short flame rope gun, and he asks, "What are you doing with it? These old boat shorts don't work like yours. ”

Claude laughed, “Too bad Ike's sick, otherwise I'd like to borrow this brief from him. Winter is here hunting in the woods, and I'm afraid I'll run into a beast. Theorie last told me that sometimes the gray wolves in the winter mountains would break into the woods to find food, so he would dispose of the chickens in the chicken farm before winter every year to avoid causing himself harm. ”

“You want to borrow this shortcut?” Verikroman doesn't care, "he said." Then take it. Anyway, Ike won't be able to get off the ground for two or three months in bed, and you have to take it and help him maintain it, which is something he can't ask for. Why don't you just write a note and give it to Uncle Pegg when you go out later? How big is it... ”

Yeah, how big is it? Alexander's been lying in bed resting, borrowing his own short shots for a month or two, enough time to imitate his own short shots. That's it, Claude immediately wrote a note on the table.

“There's also a box in the drawer with a dozen rounds of this short, stationed gun. You take it, too, before it's too late for moisture.” Vikro reminds Claude as he packs his fishing gear.

He went out and gave it to Uncle Pegg, then sent Verricolo home, and then Claude drove the wagon home.

His father was still frowned upon, and the merchant fleet did not return during this time, putting a lot of pressure on him, both with a lot of white hair.

The atmosphere at home is still so dull that the mother and father, although speaking, confine themselves to very brief questions and answers. Claude had lunch and briefly talked to his father about going out searching for Ericsson.

After hearing that Eriksson had been rescued, Mr. Morsan said only one word of God of War blessing and then frowned, smoking his pipe.

Claude, who finished his meal, stayed with his brother Brooke and Snow Dog until his nap. He drove his wagon to the national bank in town and waited half a day for the cashier at the bank to come home. Claude handed over his account book, took six silver towers of cash, then went to the open market, bought seasonings and some ingredients, and then drove his wagon to the woodland.

Claude, who returned to the woodland, first moved everything he had purchased into his cabin, and then drove his carriage to the stables. After unloading the carriage, he added horse and potable water to Jamie Black's trough, and when he finished eating it, he put these saddles on, and then went back to the cabin, picked up his long flaming rope gun, carried it on his shoulder, and was ready to tour the mountain forest.

Claude was prepared to make some money from hunting to cover the cost of his own alchemy experiment. At noon he thought a lot while waiting for the cashier to come back from the National Bank. He had planned to take out all 10 gold kroner in his account to buy the test material, but suddenly he wondered what he would do if all that money was consumed by himself in the alchemy test?

Without a certain amount of economic income, you can't sink into the alchemy experiment. It's too expensive. The reason why the Landers magician in the diary stayed out of the lab door for three days and three nights was because a magic tower was consuming materials that provided him and the other syntax magic experiments for alchemy, and he was only a first-degree syntax magician, earning only three silver towers a month, which was not enough money to obsess himself with the alchemy magic experiments.

If all the money is offered to buy materials for alchemy magic experiments, what happens when the money runs out and you need to spend it yourself? I can always remember that saying in my previous life, a penny of money suffocates a man, I can't help myself to ask others to borrow money...

So at the end of the day, Claude only took six silver tallers from the National Bank, which was his first two months' salary, and he got it brilliantly. Even if Mr. Morsan learned about Claude's account book from the bank teller in a few days, there would be no objection.

Claude figured it out, making his own money for the alchemy experiment in the future. For example, if you hunt in a forest farm, you take up a lot of cheap money, and it doesn't surprise you to catch beasts and big prey in your own way. As for the salaries of the three silver towers per month, they can be used as daily expenses and pocket money, and later to buy food for younger brothers and sisters will not be too tightly dressed.

He went to the deep end of the woodland this afternoon to set up a few series of traps. Last month, near the school holiday, he met old pub chef Pied in the open market. He also asked me how I didn't go to catch wild chickens and rabbits. He said he could buy as many as he wanted. It was also a very earned livelihood, so I could try it myself.

Even if there are no great beasts in the woodlands, you can go to the mountains behind the woodlands, where the wild goats were hunted the other day. In the future, hunting a few more heads and selling them in the open market can also be replaced by a few silver tallers, so that you can earn money and buy the materials for the experiment can be reassured, and save some time when doing the experiment...
