Hero’s Creed

Chapter 32: Litmus potion

   "Enough, enough!" Old Eugene bounced from the recliner like a ball, and rushed towards the gold coins.

  Wow, old Eugene took a handful, then released it, and watched the gold coins slipping through the fingers, falling to the ground with a tempting sound, and couldn't help laughing.

   "Go get the magic stone!" Downton walked to the counter.

   This time, Old Eugene didn't have any slack, and he was like a rabbit with an arrow, and ran to the warehouse, carrying a suitcase.

   Open the lid, inside is a small grid like a chessboard, cut into fist-sized magic stones arranged neatly.

   "It's all top-grade magic stones, one hundred grams per gram." Old Eugene quoted, ready to slaughter the country gangster.

  Magic stone is divided into lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, superior grade, unique grade, different grades according to the magic energy contained in each gram, and the corresponding prices are also different.

  The top grade magic stone is already more valuable than the same weight of gold.

   "Premium? You said it is not counted, take the litmus reagent to measure it!" Downton picked up a magic stone and observed that the cutting surface was smooth and handled well, but it did not mean that its content was high.

   "Haha, I don't have litmus reagents here." Old Eugene had a smile on his face, but he was giggling in the bottom of his heart.

   Litmus is a blue pigment extracted from lichen plants that live in a dark and humid environment. The trait is a blue powder, and it is a commonly used magic concentration indicator.

   After being dissolved in water at room temperature, it will be stimulated by magic energy to change the conjugate structure and produce a color change reaction from light to dark red. The higher the concentration of magic energy, the darker the color.

  The litmus color chart lists ten color intervals. By comparison, the quality of the magic stone can be accurately distinguished.

   Downton had a younger sister who went to St. George’s School of Witchcraft and had helped her buy a magic stone. If she had experience, let’s not even understand it, and there was a magic book.

   "You can buy it, there must be in the grocery store of Old Grand Terrace." Downton is too lazy to expose old Eugene. Litmus reagent is the basic medicine of magic potion. Any pharmacy can find a box.

   "By the way, I remembered that there is a bottle." Seeing that he could not hold Downton, old Eugene was reluctant to spend money, and took a dark brown bottle with a long thumb and a thick coin from the counter.

   "If you won't, I'll come!" Downton stared straight at Old Eugene's eyes and put the magic stone in front of him.

  Old Eugene couldn't help it. He pinched the rubber dropper, sucked some litmus liquid, and dropped it on the magic stone.

   The original purple liquid immediately faded and faded.

   "Look, such a deep color is definitely top grade, yes, you receive 100 gold coins per gram, and you are cheap to die." Old Eugene chattered, that is, he did not use a color card to compare colors.

   "Your potionist qualification is false? Even if I don't look at the color card, I know that it is only a middle grade magic stone, old Eugene, how many people have you pitted?"

   Listening to the slight sarcasm in Downton's tone, Old Eugene could not hold his face, a little embarrassed. As a half-hanging magician, his vision and experience were a little bit, he knew that this kid was right.

"A country man, who actually knows the litmus reagent, can tell the grade of the magic stone without looking at the color card, is there any reason?" Old Eugene slandered, agreeing with Downton's answer, "Seventy gold coins, no longer not enough."

   "For the thing with a market price of ten gold coins, you dare to turn it over several times to keep them moldy!" Downton turned away and he was fed up with this guy.

   "Wait, well, fifty gold coins, there can be no less."

Old Eugene quickly ran a few steps and went to La Downton. Although Chenwu Town is the largest town on the border, but the caravans do not come in the peak season of each year, he has little business in this pharmacy. After all, the town is They are all bitter civilians, and the pitiful are few.

   "Seven!" Downton continued to bargain.

   "You are killing me. At this price, the transportation cost and the storage cost are not profitable at all." Old Eugene spit, narrating that life is not easy.

   "A fixed price, 30% off, seven gold coins per gram, this quality magic stone, how much I want." Downton shook the gem in his hand.

   "Thirty percent off is too little, what? All? All? You wait!" Old Eugene immediately pulled his finger and calculated how much he could earn from this transaction.

   Downton knows the character of Old Eugene. This guy is greedy, but has no corresponding business talent. Seeing a little profit, he wants to be in his hands. It is much worse than the old Grand Terrace.

   "Thirty percent off is too few, add a little more?" Old Eugene was struggling, but he did not know this attitude, which had exposed his idea of ​​agreeing to the transaction.

"I changed my mind, 40% off, you love to sell or not to sell, I went to the old Grand Terrace, except that there is no medicine, his goods are more complete." Downton reduced the price again, he suddenly thought of it, the boxes piled up So much dust means that it hasn't been moved in a long time, obviously it can't be sold.

   Old Eugene hesitated, selling at a 40% discount, which was already lower than the original purchase price, but kept it, he could only press the bottom of the box. Look at the market price of the middle grade magic stone, ten gold coins per gram.

This means that a pound of magic stone is worth 5,000 gold coins. Whereas the average magician can afford it, they usually use the inferior magic stone. This is still in battle, and they have to use it to absorb the magic energy. .

  The main customer of the pharmacy is the mercenary **** of the caravan. Among them, the powerful ones will prepare the magic stone. They will never let the blackheart merchants make a profit. If they have no strength, they must pay careful attention to buying the magic stone.

   In combat, there are disadvantages in absorbing the magic stone. It is far less time and effort to drink the magic potion directly, so the magic stone is more used in the forging, magic potion, alchemy and other magic industries.

  Magic energy players are generally willing to absorb the magic stone when they are in the impact level, and they are usually not willing to practice.

   Seeing Downton going out of the store, Old Eugene compromised. After all, such a wealthy customer could not meet a single one for several years.

   "Don't go, I sell!"

  Once the decision was made, the old Eugene's movements quickened, and it took ten minutes to count the gold coins, evaluate the gems, and complete the transaction.

   This is a small and profitable deal for Downton, but looking at the twenty-pound middle-grade magic stone, which is worth 60,000 gold coins, he was not happy.

  Magic energy players want to quickly improve their strength, they need to draw a lot of magic energy, and the magic energy alone in the space is not enough. They have to use magic stones and potions to make up. These all mean money.

"No wonder the Robinson trio found the magic power concentration in the dungeon five times, and will be happy to be like that. No wonder if you find a region with a high magic power concentration and report it to the country, you will get the title of hereditary earl as a minimum. "

   Downton was filled with emotions. Only when he became a magical energy can he intuitively understand the importance of magical energy. No matter what plane they are, they are the most strategically valuable resources.

  Want to be a strong man, without resources, maybe it is possible, but it is a waste of time. How many decades of human life can be spent?

   "Elaine, brother I'm sorry!" Downton sighed. He thought of the talented sister. If he could provide her with enough resources, he might have been promoted to the rank of war, right?

  Tang Dun clenched his fist, he must increase his strength as soon as possible, kill the three Robinsons, and delay them for another day, so that they can learn more magic power.

   "Where did your money come from?" Old Eugene blinked two big eyes, full of curiosity.

   "Buy it for others." Downton perfunctory, he still felt that his wallet was full, considered a rich man, but now it seems that he is still a poor ghost.

"I'll say, how could you have so much money?" Old Eugene grabbed his belly, his eyes rolled, and smiled, "Would you like to buy some stone skin potions for self-defense? Take so many magic stones out, be careful grab."

   "Take a look!"

   This time old Eugene was no longer afraid that Downton would break the potions. He picked a dozen kinds of potions and put them on the counter.

   "Strength potion, agility potion, you can double your strength and agility within ten minutes, and only need fifty gold coins!"

   "I don't want these, is there a potion for replenishing magic energy?" Downton picked up a bottle of potion and saw the label labeled Swift Shadow. This is a potion that boosts speed in a short time. It is good for escape.

"A quick-acting magic potion, only one bottle, can fill up all the magic powers of a second-level soul." Old Eugene patted his chest and proudly promoted, "This is a potion made by the royal potionist. "

   This is a two-inch long test tube, and the bottle mouth is sealed with a rubber stopper.

   is filled with a pale pink liquid. Downton shook and saw a lot of particles.

"You can see whether the quality is good or not, then it's called seeing the undead. I won't be upset if I don't pit you this time. UU reading www.uukanshu.com." Blowing smallpox.

   Downton doesn't understand, but he knows that with the character of old Eugene, he will definitely not take any good goods, and he will pit himself out of it.

   "It depends on the amount of gold you bought a lot of magic stones, one hundred gold coins, you take this bottle of speed magic potions." Old Eugene put on his clothes "you earned" expression and tried his best to promote it.

   "How do you feel?" Downton took a few steps back, took out the Grimoire, opened it, and wrote an inquiry.

   The magic code releases soul detection, and a green light sweeps the potion on the counter.

   "Are you actually a magician?" Old Eugene was startled.

   "A bottle of discarded potion that should be destroyed will add some magic energy after drinking, but the side effects are even greater!" Homer displays the test results on the page.

   "What about other medicines?"

"It's all waste pharmacy. Is this a waste treatment plant? According to the Pharmacy Law, no pharmacies are allowed to buy and sell waste and expired pharmacy." Homer soon relieved that this border town, the Association of Poisonists, has time to come tube?

   "No more, can't afford it." Downton put down the potion, carried the suitcase, and turned to leave.

   "Eh, don't go, it's cheaper for you, seventy, no, fifty gold coins." Old Eugene yelled in his throat and went to chase Downton, "Is the twenty headquarters?"

   "You keep yourself to drink!" Downton shook Old Eugene's hand away.
