Chapter 246: The Secret of Ryan
Amber had no way of knowing about the battle in the Underdark.
He is very busy now because the parts for the magic element refining furnace have been delivered, and wooden boxes of all sizes have filled up half of the castle.
"It really is the most advanced magic element refining furnace. Doesn't old Flynn want to take any of the difference in price?"
After opening several boxes to inspect the goods, Amber found that they were all high-quality accessories, with no inferior products at all.
Gustavo Flynn's already dark skin became even darker after he saw Amber open the box to inspect the goods. He said angrily, "Do you think I'm a profiteer like you?"
"Hehe, who was it that tricked me into leaving the castle last time and then asked the paladins to raid my old home?"
Gustavo Flynn snorted coldly. He was already used to Amber's method of bringing up old issues and was too lazy to refute. This lich was obsessed with money anyway, and even if he won the argument, his offer would not be reduced by a single gold coin, so he might as well save his energy.
Amber Xiu did not pursue the question further, and decisively changed the subject and said, "Flynn, you finally succeeded in becoming the president. What are your plans next?"
"Let's stabilize the Dwarf King first. Dor Beck plotted against me one last time. The relationship between the Parliament and the Kingdom is not very good now."
With Isabel's support, Gustavo Fring actually won the votes of most of the young alchemists, and finally defeated his old rival by a very narrow margin.
During the final vote count, Gustavo Flin appeared calm on the surface, but in fact his palms were soaked with sweat.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and he was finally able to take down the position of president.
He also wanted his old rival to be the vice president, but the other party directly refused and even withdrew from the Alchemist Council.
Gustavo Fring thought the other party couldn't afford to lose, but then he figured out what he meant.
Dor Beck was originally the court alchemist of the Dwarf King and represented the kingdom's position to a certain extent.
Now that Dor Beck had lost and had withdrawn directly, it meant that the kingdom's influence on the Alchemist Council had been greatly reduced.
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to stir up conflict between Parliament and the Kingdom?
The result was that not long after he became the president, a bunch of heads of various departments of the kingdom came to investigate, either checking taxes or security, which made Gustavo Flynn sweat profusely.
This is clearly intentional. The parliament has just been established and has not yet started to promote alchemy. Where are the taxes to be checked? Where is the security to be checked?
The Dwarf Kingdom expressed dissatisfaction to Gustavo Flynn, and he must find a way to solve this problem, otherwise the parliament will be unable to move forward.
"I can write a letter of recommendation for you from the Dwarf King. Maybe it will be of some use." Amber said.
"Just you?" Gustavo Flynn said disdainfully.
Why would this lich want to talk about friendship with the Dwarf King? After the last peace talks between the two countries, the King's Hand of the Dwarf Kingdom died. And Amber was the key person who presided over the peace talks. It was very generous of the Dwarf King not to cause trouble for him.
"Haha, I have a lot of friends. Just wait. I believe there will be results soon."
Amberxiu plans to let Heki Stone talk to the Dwarf King. The development of alchemy cannot be separated from the support of the kingdom. If the Dwarf Kingdom can be built into a new alchemy city, his teacher's power can be restored.
Gustavo Flynn thought for a moment with doubt, and suddenly asked: "You bastard, are you planning to wait until I get back in touch with the Dwarf King, and then come out and say that you wrote a letter to help me? In fact, you did nothing but cheat me out of my money!"
"You're crazy. What kind of paranoia do you have? Am I that kind of person? If you don't believe me, just do nothing for a few days and see if the Dwarf King will change his attitude towards you. If it really works, then give me the money."
"Asshole, I didn't say I was going to give you money!" Gustavo Flynn wouldn't be fooled.
"Okay, okay, even if I give it away for free, considering the quality of your magic element refining furnace, I will help you for free once." Amber Xiu said.
"hehe."
Gustavo Fring neither refuted nor agreed. It's free, right? Then he just pretended he didn't know and continued doing what he was supposed to do.
Although the two finally parted ways unhappily, their cooperation will not be interrupted.
Ambersou gave the Youth Potion to Gustavo Flynn for production, and gave him the formula. He was not afraid that he would cheat him, because the main material of the potion was the special mucus that kept pouring out of the castle. This was a material monopoly, and even if he gave the formula to others, they would not be able to make it.
Gustavo Fring could find a ready-made alchemical assembly line and start production right away.
Isabel only needs to provide the raw materials regularly and in fixed quantities, and the medicine can be mass-produced immediately.
But Ambers made a rule for the agents: when promoting the potion, they should deliberately mention the history of alchemy. There was no need to say much, just mention the impact that alchemy had on the world over the years when bragging about the product.
On the surface, they are boasting that this potion can also change the world, but in fact they are constantly instilling in their customers the concept that alchemy can change the world.
Since the first bottle of vitality potion was invented, the limits of the human body have been broken; from the day when magic construction appeared, the mechanical structure of the entire continent has changed; on the day when the magic power furnace was invented, productivity underwent a qualitative change... Alchemy has long been inseparable from the world, and Amber is just reminding people to let them remember this.
Isabel's potion is just one of them. Amberxiu needs to use more products to open up the market. Perhaps he can also bind his own brand with the God of Alchemy. If everyone says "Praise the God of Alchemy" when using the potion, maybe the teacher can be upgraded to a powerful divine power.
Don't underestimate this simple sentence. Even if it is not sincere and you just repeat it out of habit, it is enough to generate the power of faith.
Just imagine how many people in the world need to use alchemical products. If a little bit accumulates into a lot, the combined power of faith will be enough to make all the gods envious and jealous.
But relying on the youth potion alone is not enough. This thing looks cheap, but the price of thousands of gold coins is for the nobles. This thing will not cheat the poor.
Therefore, Amberxiu still needs to seize the market of ordinary people and needs an alchemical product that everyone can afford and use.
Unable to figure it out at the moment, Amber Xiu could only find time to study it slowly.
Now that I have the magic element refining furnace, this formation is successfully completed. The next task is to return to the dungeon and start building my own alchemy factory.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After saying goodbye to Isabel reluctantly, Amber returned to the desert, but did not go home. Instead, he came to the underground city of Hecky Stone again.
The gatekeeper was still the same dwarf vampire. When he saw Amberxiu this time, he ran to report the news, no longer daring to say anything about tasting blood.
After a while, Amber was invited into Heki Stone's underground city. This city was not as big as Amber's, but it was just as spacious and full of gold.
Heki Stone was a man of few aesthetic tastes. He just liked to pile up gold all over the room. When Amberxiu walked into the golden hall, he almost couldn't help but summon the Golden Throne to suck it wildly.
Heki Stone noticed that there was something wrong with Amber's eyes, and said quickly, "Old friend, if you have anything to say, just go to the Codex of the Dead and find me. Why do you always like to come to me?"
The dwarf vampire has decided to find a house without gold to entertain the lich next time, otherwise he is really afraid that the lich will go crazy and steal all his treasures. Hecky Stone estimates that he cannot defeat this lich.
Amber Xiu said very frankly: "The temptation here is too great for me, I'd better get down to business as soon as possible. This time I came here to ask you for a favor. I have a friend who is suspected by the Dwarf King..."
Amber explained Gustavo Flynn's problem in detail, but Hecky Stone said awkwardly: "It's not that I deliberately shirk responsibility, but the relationship between the Dwarf King and me is not as close as I imagined."
"He is your descendant!" said Amber Xiu.
Anyone bitten by a vampire will obey the vampire. Even if there is no master-servant contract such as branding, the Dwarf King and Hecky Stone are true blood relatives who have exchanged blood, a relationship closer than that of father and son.
"Haha, blood relationship is indeed there, but how much affection does a king have in his heart? Even if I am his biological father, there are not many cases in history where people kill their fathers to fight for the throne. When it comes to non-political issues, I can influence this king, but once it comes to politics, this man is cold and ruthless."
That being said, Amberxiu did not force it. He was just helping out anyway. He believed that Gustavo Flynn would also find a way to build connections on his own. The chances would be higher if both sides worked together.
Heki Stone also agreed without thinking, and was about to ask Amber for some hard work fees, when Amber said, "By the way, when are you going to ask questions about Arthur Lane?"
When Hecky Stone heard this, he forgot all about his hard work pay.
Archaeology is the life of the dwarves. Perhaps because he has been exposed to this since childhood, Herky Stone is very interested in history. He once aspired to be a historian. However, he found that the dwarves care more about the gold in the ancient tombs than who the owner of the tomb is.
Herky Stone was also forced to face reality. He had been dealing with grave digging all his life and had no time to study history carefully.
After all this twists and turns, Herky Stone finally had some free time after becoming a vampire and began to pick up his childhood interests. As time went by, he became a true historian.
Arthur Lane means something extraordinary to him. Money is no longer important to him. He just wants to know the truth of history.
"I have almost sorted out the relevant information. How about today? I will go to your place and take care of it. By the way, regarding the question you asked me before, about the development of racial discrimination in Ryan, I have also sorted out a lot of information. According to my research, maybe racial discrimination really has nothing to do with Arthur Ryan."
Heki Stone had a whole box of parchment brought to Ambershu.
"If my research is correct, the source of everything lies with Arthur Lane's son," said Herky Stone.
