Chapter 234 Return to the Alchemy City
Herky Stone was finally persuaded by Amber Shu. Although Amber Shu hadn't even built an alchemy factory, and the idea of reviving the Alchemy City was absurd, Heky Stone was willing to take a chance.
The main reason is that we made some money from digging the underground city before, and now we treat it as an investment and can afford to lose it.
Secondly, Amber gave Hecky Stone the impression that he was capable of doing anything outrageous.
If a paladin kowtows to a lich, it can come true. Maybe reviving the Alchemy City can really be done.
Hecky Stone is an old fellow who has lived for many years. He has witnessed the ups and downs of countries on the continent. He also knows that the decline of alchemy is only temporary, and a new era of alchemy will come sooner or later.
Then investing in Amber Repair in advance might be a very profitable deal.
But after the deal was settled, Amber said to Hecky Stone, "Remember to include the shipping and installation! Don't charge extra!"
Herky Stone said angrily, "Get lost! Then I will lose money!"
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "Of course, as compensation, I can let you chat with Arthur Lane's heroic spirit for ten minutes."
Previously in the group chat, Amber mentioned that he had found the spirit of Arthur Ryan. For someone like Hecky Stone who likes to study history, the spirit of Ryan, the founding emperor, is a priceless treasure.
But, only ten minutes? "No, at least two hours!" Herky Stone bargained.
Amber said without hesitation: "Forget it, I believe there will be alchemical equipment in the Underdark. I will ask Ms. Rose."
After saying that, Amber turned and left.
Heki Stone quickly grabbed Amber's hand and said, "No, we can discuss it. Ten minutes is too short!"
"Twenty minutes, since we are friends," said Amber.
"An hour!" bargained Herky Stone.
“It takes at most half an hour. Not only do you have to include delivery and installation, but you also have to provide a 100-year warranty.”
"Get lost! How can there be a 100-year warranty? Do you think those things are undead?! Have you ever seen alchemical equipment that can run for more than 20 years!?"
…
The two sides continued to argue and finally reached a new contract.
Amber gave Heki Stone half an hour to ask questions to Arthur Lane's spirit. Heki Stone could only sell Amber a full set of alchemy equipment at 50% of the market price, and also included delivery and installation, as well as a ten-year unconditional return and exchange after-sales service.
Amber was satisfied with the price, but Hecky Stone looked unhappy.
If we don’t count the half-hour question time, all the profits from this business would be lost, or even a small loss.
But there is no way, Amber's business is a monopoly, and what Heki Stone can provide, others can also provide, but the price may not be as favorable.
Hecky Stone didn't know that Amber was going to use this heroic spirit to cheat Ryan out of a large sum of money, otherwise he would have been so jealous that his fangs would have broken.
With Herky Stone's help, most of the basic equipment on the list could be obtained.
The rest can be solved with a little effort, the real trouble is the magic element refining furnace.
This can be said to be the heart of all alchemy factories. Without this thing, it is impossible to build an alchemy factory, and you can only set up a small workshop at home.
Alchemy products are generally divided into two categories, edible and practical.
What they eat are alchemical potions, and what they use are large alchemical products such as puppets and magic cannons.
The magic element refining furnace is mainly used to refine medicines.
If Amberxiu wants to refine a small amount of medicine, he can do it in the laboratory, but if he wants to refine it in large quantities, he needs a magic element refining furnace.
With Amber's ability, he could make the most common vitality potion. If there were enough materials, he could make two hundred bottles a day, but he basically could not do anything else and could only bury himself in the laboratory.
But a magic element refining furnace can produce tens of thousands of bottles each time it is opened. If it is a high-quality magic element refining furnace, it can be opened more than ten times a day, which means one hundred thousand bottles a day. Not to mention that this furnace can refine multiple potions at the same time, and its efficiency is equivalent to that of a thousand alchemy apprentices.
This was also the invention of the president of the Alchemist Council. It was he who brought alchemy into the industrial age and laid the foundation for the alchemy industry of the entire continent.
But precisely because this thing is so important, its design is also very complicated, and it is extremely difficult to manufacture.
Amber couldn't make it himself, so he had to buy it.
And you can't buy a ready-made one, because the magic element refining furnace is fixed and can't be moved. If you want to move it, you have to dismantle it. And this thing, usually you can't put it back after dismantling it.
Therefore, it is not easy for Amber Xiu to make a magic element refining furnace for himself.
There was no way I could find the Dwarf Kingdom here, so I had to go back to the old Alchemy City and try my luck.
He remembered that he had seen a complete set of alchemical equipment in the territory of a certain noble before. Perhaps he could find spare parts for the magic element refining furnace from them. After all, he needed to prepare repair parts.
The magic element refining furnace is the kind that cannot be stopped once it is started, and if it breaks down it can only be dismantled and repaired on the spot. Therefore, this kind of large equipment is installed in one, and a new set is prepared for replacement at any time, otherwise if a part is missing at a critical moment, the thing will explode and destroy several streets.
"It seems to be... Viscount Lightman?"
This name emerged in Amberxiu's mind. This was a noble who believed in the Lord of Storms, and there was a very complete alchemical water flow line in his territory.
Now that the Alchemy City is finished and alchemical products are unsalable, Viscount Lightman must also be worried about funding issues. It is a good opportunity to negotiate with him to purchase at a low price.
After making a plan, Amberxiu used the teleportation array to return to the Alchemy City and to his castle.
The last time I came back, it was after the Ryan people had ransacked the castle. There were traces of excavation everywhere in the castle, and it looked dilapidated and run-down.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This time when I came back, the castle looked brand new.
It was obviously carefully restored and had a lot of decorations added.
Compared to when Amber lived here, the castle is now more lively and no longer looks eerie and deserted.
After leaving the teleportation array, Amber was about to look for Isabel to ask her about the latest situation of the Alchemy City.
Just as he walked into the corridor, an old lady wearing glasses appeared in front of Amberxiu and looked at him with a puzzled look: "Sir, I said that all visitors are not allowed to run around in the castle and must wait in the reception room. Miss Isabel will meet with you when she is free."
Miss Isabel?
Amber Xiu suddenly found it very interesting. During the time when he was away, Isabel also became a big shot?
Amber smiled and said to the old lady, "Well, where is the reception room? I really can't find it. Oh, excuse me, old lady, what should I call you?"
The old woman said, "I have heard this excuse many times. You can think of a better excuse next time. I am Miss Isabel's maid. You can call me Cardinal."
Perhaps because Amber was so polite, Cardina softened her tone and said to Amber, "Come with me. You are lucky to have met me. If you had met the guards in the castle, they would not be polite to you."
Although the old woman spoke sternly, she still sent Amber to the reception room.
Amberxiu usually doesn't have any visitors, so naturally there is no reception room. This was originally an empty warehouse, and now it has been transformed into an exquisite small room.
When Amber Xiu arrived here, he found that there were already more than a dozen young people waiting in the reception room.
When they saw Amberxiu appear, these people stared at him with hostility, as if Amberxiu was their competitor.
Amber was very curious about what Isabel had done during this time. Could it be that these young people were here to ask for marriage? Only this possibility could make them so hostile.
Amber took a seat under the gaze of everyone, and then naturally asked the person next to him: "Friend, I am Davian from the Kingdom of Gold, what is your name?"
Amber Xiu greeted others so naturally that the man was confused. He could only reply coldly: "Endel Mark, a local."
"Oh, Mr. Mark, I remember this last name. Your family is in the silk business, right? I have also bought your silk. It is the most popular luxury item in the desert." Amber said in surprise.
However, Endel Mark said with a dark face: "Our Mark family is in the transportation business."
"Oh, I remembered it wrong. Sorry, I was talking about another Mark family." Amber Xiu replied casually. In fact, he just made it up. He didn't know the name at all.
"By the way, are you here to see Miss Isabel to discuss business?" asked Amber Xiu.
Endel Mark said coldly: "Don't pretend, aren't we all here for the same purpose, for the agency rights of the Youth Potion."
