Gold coin is justice

Chapter 35 Why not take a shortcut?

Kola looked at Airo suspiciously, looking a little uncertain.He hesitated for a long time and asked: "Why do you want my herbs? Do you want to steal my business?"

Ai Luo: "Hahaha, how can the Adventurer's Guild grab the doctor's business? We make money, and it is too late to help each other. How could we possibly want to harm you? After our guild obtains the herbs, we will use it to refine some healing potions. But Please rest assured, we will never compete with the doctor on your side!"

"Why? Because you just said that the consultation fee for treating a patient on your side is about 1 silver coin. A bottle of my medicine requires five silver coins. Moreover, ours Healing agents can only treat open wounds and actual injuries. They cannot treat diseases or bring back death. Think about it, if someone in our town gets sick and suffers some less serious injuries, they will come to us for flowers. 5 silver coins for a bottle of healing potions? Or will you spend a silver coin to see a doctor?"

Such a reason is indeed sufficient to persuade Kola, but after thinking about it, the doctor is still a little confused: "It sounds reasonable...but why do you sell 5 silver coins? If you sell like me With 1 silver coin, am I not making a profit?"

Ai Luo shook his head, only talking about small places, it was really troublesome to explain to the residents of these small towns.But in order to be able to make money and cooperate, he still smiled and said, "Doctor Korra, I don’t think you will set out with adventurers to explore the secrets? Therefore, when the adventurer is injured and urgently needs medical treatment, It is impossible to get help from a doctor right away. At this time, their only reliance is some healing potions or someone in the team who can heal magic."

"Those who can heal magic do not care about it. If they have healing potions, then the life safety of adventurers can be greatly improved. And general healing potions can be used under economic conditions to quickly get adventurers to reinvest Fight or adventure."

"And the healing potions refined by our guild are precisely because of this principle, so they can be sold so expensive. If you really want me to sell them cheaply to steal business with you, I won't do it. Relying on alchemy to refine them. The healing potion of is not as long as the herbs are sufficient, it also needs four weeks of mana. Generally, after refining the potion once, the mana will be reduced accordingly, and it will take a few days to recover. Moreover, a magician is required. Its own magic power is modulated. The cost alone can far exceed the value of a silver coin."

"So, the clients of our guild's pharmacy and Dr. Korra's clinic correspond to two completely different client groups. You are aimed at the residents of small towns, and we are aimed at adventurers. There is no conflict between them. Since our customer groups do not conflict with each other, you said, how can I compete with you?"

The doctor may be considered a relatively high level of education in Pelican Town, right?Even the barefoot doctor is the same.

Kola tilted her head for a moment, and it seemed that she finally accepted the theory after a long time.But in the end, he still asked: "Then why do you want me to provide it? Can't you pick me?"

Ai Luo wanted to let his own guild members pick it, but there was no alternative. The education level of the latter two members was too low. It was already very good to be able to recognize the herbs. The level of picking was really helpless. .But these things can't be said just like that. He immediately laughed and said: "That's not because our guild has these people now, and there are other tasks that need to be done by them. It takes one day to enter the Shining Forest to collect medicine. What a waste of effort."

In any case, this doctor can be regarded as letting go of a little wariness.After Ai Luo drafted the power of attorney, wrote his name on it, and took out a dozen coins from the purse hung on his belt, and finally barely managed to get the commission price of 5 silver coins.

"Well, we are happy to cooperate!"

After putting away the power of attorney, Ai Luo continued to keep himself smiling.Kola put down the pen and thought for a while and said, "Then since you are willing to buy, there are some herbs in my clinic now, can you buy them?"

"Of course I bought it! And we need fresh ones. You can ship them directly to us without drying them."

After Kola got up, Airo sent him to the door and added: "In addition, since our mission this time only has five silver coins, we need to make more preparations and the entrustment time may be longer. I hope you don’t mind being able to wait a little while."

Hearing these words, Kola's expression suddenly pulled off, but at any rate he didn't continue to say anything, but just mumbled: "I hope it won't be too long. If autumn is over, then many herbs will be gone."

"Haha! It won't be long, don't worry."

With Aylor's relief, the barefoot doctor finally left.About two hours later he pulled his old carriage swaying over, and took a basket of herbs from the cart.

To be honest, these herbs are very suitable for picking. Compared to Coco, who is clumsy, Kola uses professional tools to pick them, and they are all sorted into categories. At first glance, they look very comfortable. .

Immediately, Airo bought some morning stargrass needed for the treatment of aerosols, aggregating flowers and tear eye vines.In addition, I bought some thorn seeds, which cost almost a silver coin in total.

It is also because now considering that Coco's magic power is not strong, there is no way to quickly alchemy.Otherwise, Ai Luo really wants to pack all the herbs in this cart and slowly refine them.

Sending off the students, after dinner, Ai Luo watched Coco re-refining three bottles of therapeutic aerosol in the alchemy room.The little girl was quite arrogant. Under Napa's guidance, she made a bottle of magic aerosol from the thorn seeds and the three herbs. In this way, the cocoa's battery life problem was solved slightly.

——September 23, 1301, food expenses: -1 silver, 1 copper, 9 iron, entrusted by King Slime extermination: 5 silver, herbal purchase: -1 silver, alchemy glass bottle: -2 copper, balance: 83 gold and 8 Silver 6 copper 7 iron——

King Slime, this is not a problem that Airo wants to solve at all.

Although these words can only be thought in my heart, this does not prevent the guild president from thinking positively about the damage this monster can cause to the guild.

Even if Bled and Coco's equipment have been upgraded, the combat experience of these two people should be a bit richer, but it is still not the time to face King Slime.

Slime is afraid of fire, strong acid, freezing and many other magics, and at the same time is afraid of the alchemy product of salt water potion.If you really want to say this kind of monster is not a big problem for a mature guild.But the magic power of his own guild is lacking in this respect. If you want to refine magic items of this kind of magic power, it also requires a lot of cost, and it is obviously inappropriate to spend on slimes.Especially for King Slime, the strength of this monster is not only ten times greater than that of ordinary slimes.Maybe it will still have some simple magic, and its fierceness is unknown.

However, this does not mean that King Slime's problem should not be solved.

Early the next morning, Aylor went to the tool shop and asked the owner of the stick to buy a lot of traps.Although these traps are not as lethal as the spiked traps made by cream, they are good enough.

"I really don't understand you more and more."

In the guild hall, Napa's head was fished out of the bowl full of milk.It lifted its paws and licked, rubbed his face, wiped off the milk sticking to his beard, and looked at Ai Luo who was playing with those animal traps on the floor with little confidence.

"Don't tell me that you intend to use these traps to deal with those slimes. And I've said it many times. If you let me act with you, those slimes would not be considered to me. What troublesome thing."

Ai Luo checked these animal traps one by one, picked up one and opened it, and after confirming that the machine is normal, he continued to respond with a smile on his face: "I have said it many times, and rely solely on your words, my guild Sooner or later, the dominance will be completely transferred to your hands. Moreover, if we human beings, if we keep our brains intact, our brains will become dull, and we must operate frequently to prevent rust."

A little tired, Ai Luo put down the trap in his hand and got up, exhaling a long breath.He stepped forward and closed the door of the guild, so that he could take off his hat, shook his head, and let his blond hair fall smoothly.

"It's so hot, the hair really needs to be cut... But how about a little bit shorter? I was a little bit reluctant to cut it completely into short hair."

The girl lifted her hair to let the back of her neck dissipate heat.Wait until you feel a little more comfortable before continuing to squat on the ground to check these traps.

"Where are our guild members?"

Napa continued to watch Airo's actions boredly, and asked casually.

"Thanks to yesterday's advertisement, Coco continued to help people watch the stalls. Brad was helping to transport the goods to the next town. The two of them would have to wait until dinner was over before coming back. Napa, you Can you come and help... to help? The mechanism of this trap is... so sturdy! I... I can't break it!"

The cat lay on the cushion, watching the president's beautiful face flushed red, and pressing hard against a beast trap machine with both hands, but it was still unable to open it.

It sighed, slowly floated over and circled the animal trap, lifted its tail, and slammed it towards the machine. The trap was finally able to open smoothly.

"Ariel, there is something I want to confirm with you."

Napa flew again in front of the girl and stopped, the pale golden fur exuding a little warm luster, but its royal blue eyes did not appear so gentle—

"After this period of observation, I have to admit that you are still a very interesting guild president. Note, I did not say that you are'competent', but that you are interesting."

"Many of your working methods are quite different from the operation of the Adventurer's Guild as I know it, and sometimes they are completely opposite. I also admit that you want you to be an adventurer's guild with someone who has no martial arts and no magic affinity. The president is embarrassing you a bit. But like the last time you faced a corpse eater, I think you should trust me more."

The guild leader put away the opened trap again, continued to check the next one, and smiled while watching: "Didn't I say it then? Trust this thing—"

"No, listen to me. According to my observations, you don’t seem to need my help because you simply don’t want to rely on me, the guild will become my dominance. You are insisting that you do it yourself. There seems to be some persistence in this matter that I cannot understand."

"You have to earn 1,000 gold coins in three years. According to ordinary people’s understanding, in order to earn these money, you will try every means to make use of various simple and easy methods. For example, use my power to complete some tasks faster and more conveniently. This is safer and more efficient. It can even be said that you only need to ask me to enter the mine with you, and I can hunt down two or three of the corpses in your mouth and dig out their gold hearts. You can collect 1,000 gold coins in a few days."

"However, you didn't do that, and you didn't ask me in this regard."

"On the one hand, you are very anxious to collect money, but on the other hand, you don’t use these methods that are very simple and easy to do in my opinion. This is not a rhetoric of'unwilling to be understood by others about how you work.' of."

"So, Ariel, Ariel Garcia. What does your three-year 1,000 gold coins mean? What are the reasons why you would rather risk your life than take shortcuts?"

When Napa spoke, the blonde girl squatted on the ground all the time, checking the trap with her back to it.She acted very cautiously, and her eyes were very focused, as if she hadn't listened to what the cat monster said.

Although there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, the smile seemed to be frozen on this face by nature, and could not explain any thoughts in her mind.

It wasn't until all the animal traps had been checked that the girl got up and stretched.She looked at the eight traps on the ground with great satisfaction and nodded.

"Ariel Garcia!"

Seeing that the other party didn't reply, Napa's voice could not help but rang.

"Naturally, I have my own method. As long as you know, I will try my best to achieve the expectation of 1,000 gold coins. Now that the first year is almost three-quarters past, I haven't even earned 100 gold coins. Come back, you have to believe that I must be more anxious about my own goals than you."

She turned her head, her fingers wrapped around the end of the blonde hair, and after confirming that the hair on her fingertips split slightly, she shook her head helplessly to spread her hair a little bit more, and don’t stick it together because of sweat. ..

"So, can you please stop asking so aggressively? I allow the guild members of our Mermaid Song to have their own little secrets. You always come to listen to the secrets in my heart and make me uncomfortable."

Napa stared at the blonde girl. After a while, the cat shook his head helplessly, then flew back to the cushion on the counter and lay down: "Girls from poor families don’t mind if their hair splits. You must have suffered. A good etiquette education is not something that can be cultivated through a few years of school life in Lao Tengshu College, but an etiquette education that has been fascinated since childhood. Since you never want to say it, then I will not ask. I just want you Knowing that I don’t want to listen to your secrets, it’s purely based on the thoughts of my friends, I hope you don’t do anything out of extremes."

After a pause, it spoke again--

"It's like that corpse eater, and that Merlin. You should know that as long as there was a slight error in the last mission, your funeral would have been several days."

The girl was taken aback for a moment. She looked at the kitty, as if she wanted to confirm whether his words were genuine or purely perfunctory.

After a long time, she turned around, slightly restrained the repetition of emotions in her heart, and turned her head again: "Well, thank you. Also... Would you like to cut my hair a little? Cut off the split ends. But don't cut too much."

Since the formation of the guild, this was the first time Napa heard what this girl asked for.The cat raised his head from the cushion and looked at the girl with a slightly guilty smile in front of him. Without much thought, he slowly flew over.

The power of magic slowly flew in this hall, and the spirit of the wind swept across the golden hair with a soft touch, removing the hair that could no longer be managed.After being cleaned up, these gentle wind elves agitated the girl’s blond hair from bottom to top, blowing it away as much as possible, opening the hair that had been condensed by sweat, like a blower. Refreshing.

After everything was cleaned up, Ai Luo curled up his hair again, put on his hat and covered it.He took a broom to clean up the broken hair on the ground, and threw it into the kitchen fire to eliminate the evidence.

"So... Napa, would you like to go out with me to complete the task of destroying King Slime?"

Napa had just gotten down on the cushion and suddenly heard the request of the guild president.
