Chapter 10 Candleman
Push open a wooden door carved with a beast with its teeth and claws.
Known as the top pharmacy master of Beiruye, Richards Murphy, who developed two new agents, "Blood Drop and Blood-Activating Potion" and "Blood Drop" potion, stepped in.
He just sold all the blood-activating potions in his hand at the Yipu Market. He made a fortune and was in a good mood, but the smell of wax oil from inside after opening the door made his face even more depressed.
This is a tall house with no heating in this room, not even a basic fireplace, only wooden tables of different heights are arranged in a seemingly messy but with some regularity.
The brass candlestick with white candles almost filled the room, not all of them were lit. In fact, only one-third of the candles that were lit are 100% of the total.
Richards' eyes swept around a circle. If I remember correctly, the number and position of the candlesticks he saw when he came over were different from the last time. He was not a person who pursued perfection, but looking at the sparse and chaotic candles, he always felt a strange sense of imbalance in his heart.
In addition to the wax oil that burns and drips down or slides down the candle body, the wood table that looks very good in color will be printed with a mess, and the uncomfortable feeling will be even more obvious.
"Mr. Murphy, count the day. Today should be the day when your blood-activating agent is first launched. How is the situation?"
A sound came from the shadows in front of him, and behind the innermost table was a man in a black cloak.
"It's very popular. In just half an hour, all the blood-activating potions have been sold out. There are still many people who want to book from me, saying that if there is a new potion, they will be provided to them first..."
"You should still remember the agreement between us?"
Richards asked, asking, the man behind the long table interrupted.
"Of course I remember that you provide the recipe. I am responsible for catching vampires and making potions. Each person is limited to purchase one bottle, and every time they are sold, they have to be limited to the quantity... and you will get 70% of the final profit and 30% of mine."
Outsiders think that Richards Murphy has saved up money that he will never have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life with these potions. But they didn't know that he was just a job for others. Although he had earned a lot, it felt really uncomfortable to see a lot of gold pounds in his pocket and take them out again.
"Just remember. I came to you to remind you that you should not miss the vampire in the vampire castle I discovered this time. You can catch as much as you can. If you don't have any surprises in the future, you need to expand it. These vampires are good raw materials. You can release the news. A living vampire can be exchanged for a bottle of blood drop potion and a bottle of blood-activating potion."
Once vampires die, their blood will completely lose their activity within a few minutes. If these monsters that often survive for hundreds of years lose their blood circulation in their bodies, they will immediately turn into mummies. When the sun shines, they will turn into ashes all over the ground, worthless. Therefore, only living vampires are worthy of detention.
"I'll write down your words."
Expanding production means an increase in output, which is equivalent to an increase in income. Thinking of the scene of sleeping on a pile of gold pounds that happened in my dream, Richards couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Your Candle, in fact, many people in the market have been eyeing my business recently. Just this month, there are three waves of people who come to steal formulas... In addition, the blood drop potion and the core materials of the blood-activating potion come from those vampires. If you want to expand production, you must have a larger place to store these monsters. We are responsible for these things. The government needs to handle them, and they have to find places and hire more people. I won't talk about these things. I should do it for you. But the money to be consumed is not a small amount, so I just want to..."
The candle is the synonym of the person behind the table who told Richards himself. Richards's meaning was clear enough.
"Modify profit sharing?"
The existence behind the table directly said what Richards was thinking. Without saying a word, his fingers lightly lit the brass candlestick, as if he was thinking, and the wax oil fell on his fingers was not aware of it. This silence did not last long, and he said again after more than ten seconds.
"When you were just an ordinary alien disciple, that's not what you told me."
"Hey, it was the time, now it is now. I didn't think your business would be as good as it is now. Now there are competitors everywhere, and all parties have to work hard. I am the only spokesperson for your industry. You also know the pressure you are under. If there is no sufficient financial support, it will undoubtedly be a bit difficult to operate."
Since some words are said openly, there is no need to hide them anymore, emphasizing the identity of the only spokesperson. Richards now does have this confidence.
The man in front of him was just collecting money, and he was in charge of the matters outside. If he hadn't had to get the prepared medicine from him every time, Richards would have tried to get rid of him and did it alone. In his eyes, this man was relying on his own recipe to hang himself. He took 30% of the medicine, which was really a little less.
"Then... let's divide it into five or five."
This reply made Richards' eyes lit up. He actually made a profit from what he thought that he could improve one level. Unexpectedly, the other party's words made him feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
"But I have a condition, that is, you must do this matter well. You must catch more than 10 vampires, otherwise my proposal will be invalidated."
"no problem."
It is obviously difficult for 10 living vampires to rely on themselves, but it would be different if they could hire those teams of alien disciples. If they are lucky, the chance of success is not small.
"Then let's make up that way, please go back."
"Goodbye, Lord Candle."
When he exited the door, Richards's face looked much better than when he came.
"It turned out to be a paper-paste flower stand... I compromised after a few temptations. It seems that there is no need to be so afraid of him. Humph, how good would it be if those two recipes really became my own."
Richards actually knew nothing about the configuration of the potion. When producing the potion, he was more of a work done according to the operating manual given by the candleman. He had not been exposed to the core medicine liquid at all. However, the assembly line medicine configuration over the past period of time gave him an illusion that as long as he could get the formula, he could easily configure these two medicines.
If that's the case, what's going on with that weird guy behind the door?
Sometimes this is the case. If you take a step back, others will take a step further.
Your compromise is cowardly and timid in the eyes of others.
But Richards didn't know that the weird pharmacist was actually not as unbearable as he thought.
As the footsteps left, a ball of bulging wax oil crawled towards the people inside as if they had life, climbed along the table legs and gradually spread out, and then pieced together characters.
It was exactly what Richards said before.
"Must is mud. Things that are so lowly that they are in their bones. Even if they are mixed with gold powder and put into a porcelain bowl, they will not become good things in the end. They will only defile those good things..."
With a casual touch, the handwriting pieced together by the wax oil on the desktop disappeared completely in the next second.
**
The next day I arrived in Beiruye City, I spent the whole morning purchasing time. According to the list Anthony listed last night, each store walked over one by one.
After lunch, I purchased some scattered items, and it was not until 2 pm that I was completely prepared.
Looking at the large carriage in front of me, the carriage behind is obviously larger than that of ordinary carriages. Although it is mainly wood, there are many rivets and iron sheets at the connection, and the wheels underneath are also equipped with anti-slip accessories. If you look closely, you will find that the center of the chassis is still mechanically structured, like a protruding metal bucket, which is specially used to place firewood to heat the carriage. In front there are three tall horses, all of which cost a lot of money.
There were still a lot of things piled up on the roof of the carriage at this time. After covering it with a rain tent, you had to tie it twice with a rope.
"I should be sleeping in the wild tonight, and I don't know if the car can be squeezed out."
In this kind of weather, it is naturally impossible to build a bed to lie on the ground alive, otherwise the low temperature in the second half of the night will definitely make anyone wake up or simply frozen and never wake up.
"At that time, everyone can't be crowded in the carriage. We two and Lilo have to take turns to watch. After all, we are not taking the scheduled route this time, but we have to participate in this search for the Vampire Castle. There may be vampire attacks at night."
Riding on another horse, Anthony said, holding the reins in one hand and the whip in the other.
After Donald came back from the Alien Fair, he did not immediately call everything together, but chose to talk to them about it when he had breakfast this morning.
Anthony and the others had no objection and said that Donald would just make the decision.
Chapter completed!
