Rune Wizard - Chapter 229
Calvin is over, and I will change the two chapters together tomorrow.
“Is that so?” Karen muttered.
“Potion, as a consumable used by superhumans, has always been in high demand in Herrington.”
Elena paused and said again: “What’s more, now is the era of spiritual tide recovery, the more the number of supernatural beings, the more the demand for potions will naturally be, and the supply has already reached the level of insufficiency.”
“That’s why, among the twelve wizards of Santaro, Ulysses ranks at the bottom of the list of combat power, but his status is one of the best.”
Karen’s eyes flickered, and her thoughts changed.
The conversation with Elena made him more aware of the value of potions, and at the same time, his future plans became clearer.
“Did the Cameron family buy potions?” Karen asked at this time.
“It’s not just the Cameron family.”
Elena gave a wry smile, shook her head and said, “The six Herrington families continue to purchase potions, even the most basic stamina potions have always been in short supply.”
“In fact, not only the six major families, but also other extraordinary forces in Herrington.”
“It is said that a few years ago, the city government offered a sky-high price to hire Ulysses as a special potionist for the Public Security Bureau, but they were all rejected by the other party, and the two parties could only establish a cooperative relationship.”
“So…if I can refine the finished potion, the Cameron family will definitely buy it.” Karen asked.
“Uh…”
Elena was speechless, and said strangely: “Have you said so much, aren’t you going to give up?”
Karen smiled silently.
“Well, since it’s your choice.”
Seeing this, Elena stopped persuading her, shrugged her shoulders, and thought: “According to the purchase price of the potion by the family, potions with different effects also have different values. Under normal circumstances, the basic potion will not exceed One thousand magic notes.”
“What about the primary potion?” Karen asked.
This is what he really cares about. The basic potion is in Herrington City, and many extraordinary shops have acquisition needs. What Karen needs now is a channel that can sell primary potions.
Basic potions and primary potions are fundamentally different.
In Herrington City, although there are few potions, there are a few, but most of them can only refine basic potions.
The reason Ulysses has such a high status is because he masters the formula of three primary potions.
One of the primary potions is exclusive to the Demon Hunter Extraordinary.
It is precisely because of this that the Winchester family treats Ulysses very kindly. Even the second-order witcher Conrad, who is the owner of the family, does not dare to offend the other party easily under normal circumstances.
“Primary potion?”
Elena raised her brows and sighed: “The price is too high. Even the most common primary potion costs more than 10,000 magic notes.”
“However, I advise you not to think so much.”
“If you want to achieve success in potionology, you need a lot of talent. How many people can only refine basic potions after spending their entire lives. Those who can refine primary potions will compete with each other.”
“Like Ulysses!”
Karen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured, “Is it more than 10,000 demon banknotes…”
Nine times out of ten, the potions in Herrington can only refine basic potions, and even those who only master one basic potion refining skill will be offered as guests by the major forces.
During the conversation between the two, the food on the table was almost the same.
“Since the Cameron family acquired the potion, they must also have some elementary potion formulas, right?”
Karen raised her head and looked at Elena.
“I don’t know that.”
Elena thought for a moment and hesitated: “As far as I know, the family does have some potion formulas, but most of them are incomplete. The completed potion formulas have already been thrown into the auction house.”
“After all, the family can’t train a potionist, and there is no point in keeping those formulas.”
Karen nodded, thoughts flashing in her mind.
“That’s right, Karen.”
At this moment, Elena suddenly opened her mouth and asked, “Since you have decided to settle outside the academy, should you need some servants in the manor?”
Karen moved in her heart and nodded slightly.
“It takes about ten servants to maintain the daily life of a manor.”
Elena looked thoughtful and said, “Most of the slave firms in Herrington are controlled by the Kendi family. Maybe we can take a look later.”
“Slave trade?” Karen raised her brows.
He originally thought that in Herrington City, this kind of slavery had been abolished, but he did not expect that there were still slave businesses.
“What’s so rare about this?”
Elena shrugged and said softly: “Although the city government proposed the idea of abolishing slavery many years ago, how could the six major families agree, not to mention that with the advent of the spiritual tide era, the wizards carried out biological activities. Scientific research also requires the consumption of a large number of experimental subjects.”
“The slaves in Herrington are mostly criminals or savages.”
“However, those are only the lowest-level slaves, and the real high-end goods are cultivated by slave firms since childhood.”
Elena is very familiar with the slave trade, and obviously knows a lot about the slave trade.
During the conversation between the two, the food on the table was almost the same, and Elena got up and took Karen to the slave business in Herrington City.
The carriage drove in one direction.
“Outer city?”
After arriving at the destination, there was a hint of surprise on Karen’s face. The slave firm in Herrington was actually in the outer city.
“It’s not a request from the city government yet.”
Elena curled her lips and said with a sneer: “Those hypocritical politicians, in order to gain the support of the common people, do something about equality for everyone, so they enacted a law to abolish slavery. After being resisted by the six nobles, both sides took a step back. .”
“On the surface, Herrington forbade the slave trade.”
“However, in private… Naturally, as before, the city government wants to completely abolish slavery. Not to mention the opposition of the six nobles, even the wizards of Santalo College will not agree.”
“After all, a lot of witchcraft research requires human experimental subjects…”
While the two were talking, they walked straight into the slave business, which was located in the outer city and was also a remote place. From the outside, it looked like a circus.
After entering the slave business, Karen looked around.
All you can see are large cages. The slaves are like livestock, bound by iron chains in the cages, and the outside is covered with a layer of black cloth. A real slave business is like the dark side of Herrington City.
“Welcome, Miss Elena.”
A bald middle-aged man walked in the distance, with a flattering smile on his face: “I haven’t seen you in a long time, is Lord Grove okay?”
“He’s the boss of the slave firm.”
Elena ignored the bald man and said to Karen: “The slave business in Herrington City has always been controlled by the Kendi family. Melissa and I have been here several times, so Kirk already knows me.”
Karen nodded slightly, looking at the bald middle-aged man.
The opponent is obviously a collateral bloodline of the Kendi family. There is no magic fluctuation on his body, but his physique should reach the level of a knight.
“This is…” At this time, Kirk also looked at Karen.
“This is my friend Karen.”
Elena’s tone was flat, and she ordered: “He plans to buy some slaves, but not the inferior goods outside.”
“understand.”
Kirk said quickly: “The two of you, please come with me. The family just sent a group of high-level slaves recently, which will definitely satisfy Mr. Karen.”
With that said, Kirk took the two to the depths of the slave business.
The three of them came to a huge white tent. After entering it, the inside was filled with a strong aroma of incense. The environment was much better than the outside. Most of the slaves in the cage were also ruddy.
“I don’t know Mr. Karen, what kind of slave do you need?” Kirk asked.
“It’s enough to maintain the daily life of a manor.”
Karen pondered for a moment and said, “I don’t have any special needs, but loyalty must be guaranteed.”
“It’s natural.”
Cork nodded quickly and introduced Karen to the slaves in the cage. Most of these high-level slaves have good skills. Some of the female slaves grew up in commercial houses and are proficient in cooking, cleaning and other abilities.
“Okay, just these few.”
Karen nodded slightly, and at Kirk’s recommendation, she chose several female slaves. Some of them were good at cooking, some were good at cleaning, and there were several personal maids who could basically maintain the daily operations of the manor.
“Don’t you choose a few guards?”
At this moment, Elena suddenly said, “You can’t stay in the manor all the time. During your stay at Santaro College, someone has to be responsible for guarding the manor, or you will inevitably suffer losses when you encounter thieves.”
“Are there any thieves in the inner city security?” Karen raised her brows.
“Of course.”
Elena nodded and said, “It’s definitely much safer than the outer city, but the public security bureau can’t cover everything. There are a few guards in the manor. Usually, it’s much more convenient for you to be at Santaro College.”
“Makes sense.” Karen nodded.
“If you need an escort, please come here.”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Kirk nodded, walked to the other side of the tent, pointed to a huge cage, and said.
“These slaves have knight-level combat power and are definitely the best guards guarding the manor.”
Karen looked in the direction of Kirk’s finger.
Inside the steel forged cage, it was divided into sections, and a slave was imprisoned in each separate space.
Unlike other slaves in the tent, these slaves were very strong.
Even without the use of Protoss detection, Karen can still feel their knight-level fighting ability, but these slaves are a little dull, and their pupils are dull, like puppets.
“Knight-level slaves are not easy to control.”
Seeing this, Koke explained: “In normal times, the business will regularly feed them anesthesia drugs to ensure the safety of the slaves.”
“Where did these slaves come from?”
Karen was a little puzzled. Even in Herrington City, knight-level combat power was not considered weak, so how could it become a slave.
“They are all savages from the Tatar tribe.”
Beside her, Elena said, “In the wilderness outside Herrington, there are some wildling tribes, adhering to ancient customs, often attacking Herrington’s caravans, no different from gangsters.”
“Savage?” Karen raised her brows.
“It’s not so much a savage, it’s a native.”
Elena explained: “It is said that many years ago, before the city of Herrington was established, the savages of the Tatar tribe lived in this land and believed in the ancient totem god.”
“When the city of Herrington was established, there was a fierce conflict with the Tatar tribe, but in the end, the Tatar tribe was defeated by the empire and expelled to the wild virgin forest.”
“But the hatred between the two sides never stops!”
“After so many years, the natives of the Tatar tribe still have hatred for the city of Herrington. In addition to seizing supplies, the looting caravans also have the mentality of revenge, but Herrington also regularly goes to the forest to crusade those natives. “
Hearing Elena’s explanation, Karen’s face showed a hint of surprise.
“These indigenous knights should have been captured by the Kendi family during the crusade against the Tatar tribe.”
Elena added: “If the city government catches the natives, it will be executed immediately, but because the Kendi family has a slave trade, the natives caught will be sold after training.”
“Aren’t they going to resist?” Karen asked.
“On this point, please rest assured Mr. Karen.”
Next to him, Keke said quickly: “After these natives were caught, they were all brainwashed with drugs. Although they maintained the fighting power of knights, their memory was lost. Through special means, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can absolutely guarantee a hundred 100 percent obedience.”
Saying that, Kirk took a wooden box from nowhere.
After opening it, there was a conch inside.
“Mr. Karen, try it.” Kirk handed the conch to Karen and said.
“Blowing?”
Karen took the conch and found that the interior of the conch had been remodeled, so it blew gently.
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out.
In the cage, several slaves whose eyes were originally dull eyes showed extremely painful expressions on their faces. They knelt on the ground and wailed, as if they heard a demonic sound, they madly hit the fence with their heads.
Karen stopped playing immediately.
But several native slaves were exhausted, kneeling on the ground and begging constantly, looking at Karen with fearful eyes.
“Is this an extraordinary item?”
Looking at the conch in her hand, Karen thought thoughtfully.
Kirk nodded with a smug look on his face, and said, “This is an extraordinary item unique to our Kendi family. It is used to control slaves. Even a rebellious beast will be as obedient as a dog that will be trained.”
Karen nodded slightly, having seen the power of conch just now.
“I want these slaves, how much.”
Karen waved his hand and pointed to the cage in front of him. He planned to buy all the six native slaves in it directly.
“Is it all?”
Keke’s eyes lit up, he thought for a moment and said: “According to the normal price, a knight-level slave costs 20,000 magic notes, six for a total of 120,000 magic potions, but for Miss Elena’s face, I will charge you ten How about the Ten Thousand Demons?”
