Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 178 White Root Powder

Claude, it's not clear why he's being haunted is because he's wearing a grey blue linen shirt, a black chunky trousers, a pair of black cowhide shoes, and a black beast leather backpack. Such a costume is a civilian who comes from outside, and is still young, and the beard on his lips is still very thin and fluffy, which is clearly a rookie who has never seen the world before, and for some, this is the best target.

Like the noble children whose fathers were born aristocrats and national identities, most of them wore silk shirts in such hot weather, silk pants for cooling, and no one dressed like Claude as if he were going away. So the skinny guy who tracked him in the back glanced at Claude and tried to get a little money to spend, but he was looking for the wrong guy, and Claude didn't eat his set, so instead, he screamed.

Mario Street is arguably the most famous commercial street in White Wood City, where most of the mining companies and major trading houses in Limassosyas County have established shops and branches, and where even the National Bank has a sales hall, which should be designed to facilitate access to money for commercial trade.

Uncle Osk mentioned before going out that Dangolo Mining Company is the biggest sitting tiger, basically almost half of White Root powder mineral resources in White Wood City are in their hands, so they have the best quality and variety of white root powder in their store.

Next to the National Bank was the shop run by Dangro Mining, and Claude pushed the door in. For the first time, he heard of the quality and variety of white root powder. In White Deer Town, he had no choice, and the meter was lower than the price. The sale of a box of white root powder in an open-market pharmacy, three gold crowns three silver taller, has already made him very happy, at least half the price offered by the fat old man Juliana.

But after looking at the white root powder that Dangro Mining sampled on the display stand, Claude wanted to say that he was a traitor. Because the white root powder sold by the owner of the open market pharmaceutical store in Bai Lu Town is one of the worst in quality and can be said to have a lot of impurities, the price of Dangro Mining Company only needs a box of three gold kroner silver taller. And Juliana's fat old man sells it as a quality standard. Here the bid is two gold kroner and four silver taller. The fat old man offers Claude seven gold kroner...

Asked a store clerk, Claude realized that the quality of white root powder was related to the success rate of drug experiment. The higher the quality of white root powder as an intermediary in the experiment, the more successful the drug experiment, but also the better the quality of drug preparation. No wonder Claude later bought those two boxes of white root powder in the open-air market. When doing magic tests in the alchemy spell array, he also often failed unexpectedly. Claude still thought it was because his operating methods were too slim and unfamiliar with alchemy magic tests...

Claude focused his attention on a silver box between the stands, which also contained white root powder, but the price was the highest, seven gold crowns a box. According to the clerk next door, this is the highest quality white root powder produced by their company, and the box is marked with three symbols that are also similar to A, or even termed 3A, and is made of a special tree fossil, which is very rare and precious.

This Grade 3A white root powder is said to be effective in improving the quality of the drug when refined, only because the average pharmacist rarely buys it at too high a price, basically only a few well-known large pharmacists in the kingdom would entrust one or two boxes to refine the best quality of the drug.

If the clerk didn't talk about the famous pharmacists, maybe Claude just looked at them, but he said that Claude remembered Mrs. Maria. The last time Lady Maria sent a letter to Claude, she said she would go to White Deer City in September and stay in the woods for more than a decade to 20 days, which was sort of a summer holiday.

If Claude did not receive a conscription order, he would have waited in the woods for Mrs. Maria, who said she would have asked him for a pardon issued by Sterling X to exempt Claude from military service. Unfortunately, Chief Felidos stepped in and wrote a recommendation for Claude, asking the Bluefeather Regiment to issue a conscription order for Claude to train officers.

Whether Mrs. Maria gave Claude's cabin and 300 acres of mountain forest to cover the price of those four forbidden arts, or sought a pardon from Sterling X to tie Claude to the big tree of the Normanly family completely, and to have Luther Ann's butler pay off the huge debt of 500 gold kroner instead of Little Booker, Claude had to receive it.

Even though Claude and Lutheran Butler planned to form the Real Estate Development Company, which allowed Mrs. Maria to earn a fortune that she could not have dreamed of, that was not something Claude could accomplish on her own and required cooperation from all sides. It's also hard to mix up talented people who don't understand humanity, which is one of Claude's experiences in previous life.

Now Claude wonders whether to give Mrs. Maria a gift, such as the top three A-grade white root powder. Now that she has arrived in White Wood City, she can buy some for herself, and I'm sure Mrs. Maria will be happy to receive this gift.

“Give me ten boxes of this Grade 3A white root powder.” Claude says, then sees that the clerk opens his eyes incredibly, seemingly unanticipated that Claude's hand will be so big, and at the same time seemingly wonders if Claude is joking, can he really afford the most expensive, highest-quality white root powder?

Claude took out his account book: "I suppose the National Bank next door could take the money? ”

“Of course, this gentleman, the bank has always had business dealings with our company, and our customers didn't have to line up to pick up.” An old man with a goat's beard appeared in front of Claude and explained with a smile.

“Manager…” The clerk hurriedly lowered his head.

“Ivago, take the gentleman to the bank.” Old man Goatbeard sighed, apparently dissatisfied with what this shopkeeper Ivago had just done.

Claude took the money from the National Bank next door and went back to the store. Only this time he enjoyed a VIP treatment, and when he first came in, he sat down at a very warm reception and asked Claude if he wanted tea or wine.

Claude ordered a cup of black tea and a young waitress brought a pot of warm water to wipe Claude's face. The weather was too hot to sweat. Finally, two shopkeepers stood behind Claude with fans to cool him down...

Grade 3A white root powder comes in silver-plated copper boxes, and the amount is consistent, one kilogram of white root powder per box. Each box was personally brought up to Claude by the goat's beard manager for inspection. After checking it, cover the copper box, seal it with white wax along the edge and affix a seal on it.

And finally, the goat beard manager asked Claude if he'd taken it himself or delivered it by hand.

Can I get a delivery? Claude, hey. He wanted to take it with him and throw it in the carriage, wait for Uncle Osk to return, ask him to send the ten boxes of white root powder to Sister Anna in the woods, and then write a letter to Sister, asking her to wait for Mrs. Maria to come to the woods for a summer vacation and give it to her as a gift, just in time for Mrs. Maria to experiment in the pharmaceutical lab in the woods.

But the ten boxes of white root powder were worth seventy kilograms, and Claude and Uncle Osk talked to him on the way, and he said that he was going to send Claude to the barracks and then he was going somewhere else to meet some old comrades and see if there was any business there. This way, Claude thought it would be inappropriate to ask Uncle Osk to bring the white root powder back. After all, he didn't go straight back to White Deer City...

It's just that Claude reported that after sending the ten boxes of white roots to Normanly Forest Farm on the southwestern outskirts of White Deer City, the goat beard manager told Claude with some hesitation that the journey was too far away and that he needed a little extra money, estimated at about a Golden Krone.

A golden kroner is a golden kroner, Claude is now rich and bold. Even after spending 70 golden kroner to buy ten boxes of Grade 3A white root powder, he still has more than 1600 golden kroner in his national bank account and more than a dozen golden kroner in his pocket.

Grab a gold crown and give it to the goat beard manager, Claude takes the paper and pen, writes a text to sister Anna, asks Dangerous Mining to bring it to sister together, then takes the company card and the delivery agreement, waits for herself to settle in the barracks before writing, then the courier will send the receipt written by sister Anna to Claude.

After that, Claude went out. It wasn't too early. He went back to the tavern for dinner, took a good night's rest, and he's still on his way early tomorrow morning. What he just didn't see was that as soon as he left, the goat beard manager called the shop clerk Ivago to whisper and Ivago rushed out.

Just left Mario Avenue and headed back, passing in front of a carriage. Claude stopped and was ready to wait for the carriage to pass. I didn't expect two people to suddenly stick to the back, and the waist was held by two sharp guys. In front of him was the skinny guy who had just wrapped his eyebrows around the thief's eyebrows, except that he was now surrounded by two more big men, smiling at Claude very wildly.

“Kid, didn't you just be arrogant? How dare you tell Brother to go away? Now it's in Brother's hands. Why don't you kneel down and beg for forgiveness...”

Claude, the two sharp guys in the waist pushed forward, the shirt had been pierced, and the voice behind him said, "Brother, you mean to do him here? There have been too many people here...”

The skinny man stunned: "When did I make you do him? I just asked him to kneel down and beg for forgiveness. But you're right, it's a street crossing, it's a little crowded, it's easy to scare patrol cops. Take him to the alley over there and peel him. ”

Claude's faceless face was held by the two guys behind him to the side of a dead end, and the skinny guy came to Claude with a small carton and was proud to say: “Boy, didn't you say you couldn't afford white root powder, you just bought a few boxes at the Dangerous Mining Company, you said you didn't have money, but I saw you pull a gold crown out of your purse. How dare you lie to me about not buying my white root powder? You look down on me! ”

“I bring white root powder to others, of course I can't afford it myself, and they have designated to buy it from Dangero Mining..." Claude said.

“I don't care. If you don't buy my white root powder, you look down on me, and the consequences are serious, and I'm angry. Although I would love to beat you up and then strip you naked and throw you in the pit, but I am a buyer and seller, and angry with the money, so I give you an opportunity to apologize to me. As long as you buy this box of the finest white root powder in my hand with all the money around me and sign this deal, I can forgive you for once..."

The skinny guy pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, and it was obvious that if he took Claude's money, it was a robbery, a crime, and if he caught it, he would be sentenced to hard labour. But when an agreement is signed in the name of the sale, it is useless for the victim to report it to the police, but at best the buyer regrets it. It's bad luck for ordinary civilians to get into such a situation.

If the thin man knew Claude had bought ten boxes of Grade 3A white root powder at Dangro Mining's store, he would have thought about whether he could afford it. Unfortunately, when the skinny saw Claude following the clerk to the National Bank next door, he rushed to find his friend Claude to help him. When he came back, he saw Claude handing the manager a gold crown and writing a piece of paper.

So the thin man naturally assumes that Claude only came here to order. Such a person's background is nothing more than a purchasing agent of a certain business firm, and is a good target for getting a fortune...
