king.

"Baron Hudson, don't get excited.

With the formula, it doesn't mean that you can make the original liquid of life.

Since Master Kempey invented the life essence, after the research and improvement of successive generations of alchemists, there are not one thousand, but eight hundred kinds of formulas for the life essence.

For the sake of secrecy, these formulas have all added the unique refining techniques of the alchemists.

If there is a mistake in any link in the middle, it is impossible to refine successfully.

Although your Excellency is also a magician, the research on alchemy is probably just getting started, right? "

Introduction to alchemy, this is definitely the biggest compliment.

In fact, Hudson has never figured out what alchemy is.

I don't know for the time being whether there is any relevant knowledge about the collection of other branches. Anyway, there is no relevant record about this branch of his family.

Even if he had relevant knowledge, Hudson didn't think he could grasp it with just a few glances.

If alchemy is so simple, I am afraid that all magicians have changed their professions to alchemists, and Dacheng's alchemists are really making money.

Just make and mix some magical potions, and you can sell them for a lot of money.It is much more popular than the priest's kryptonite healing magic.

"Baron Kettley, isn't it just to tell me this? To tell you the truth, I'm really not good at alchemy.

But it doesn't mean that the Koslow family can't invite a master alchemist.

As long as there is a formula, even without the cooperation of refining techniques, we can still spend a lot of money to research it.

Your Excellency should know what the life essence means to our family! "

Hudson said blankly.

Without discounts, if there is such a thing, it is not his business.

There are so many branches of the Koslow family. If everyone acts together and shares the cost together, there will definitely be a lot of resources that can be mobilized.

"If that's the case, then I'll be blunt.

A year ago, when I went deep into the orc empire, I accidentally obtained a piece of parchment, which contained the formula for refining life essence.

When I was in the Northland, I checked with the alchemist of my family, and I can confirm that the formula is true.

However, a part of the recipe was missing, and part of the content for smelting the magic core was missing.If there is a master alchemist to make a move, it is not a problem to think about it.

The key is the secret method, which is passed on by word of mouth and is not recorded on it.

If the noble family is willing to spend a lot of money on research, they can still figure it out.

If Your Excellency the Baron has a way to help me get rid of the troubles of the July Meeting, there will be no problem in handing over the formula to Your Excellency.

But the problem is that you can't do it now, so what can I get by handing over the formula to you?
Don't try to threaten in vain. At this point, I don't know when I will be sent to meet the Lord of Dawn! "

It was a good deal to talk about, but it was a pity that Baron Kettley's last sentence ruined the atmosphere in an instant.

It made Hudson very speechless, is he that kind of person?
When was he ever threatening someone when discussing business?
It's a pity that this can't be explained. Once discussed, it will become more and more black.

"If it is an intact formula, coupled with the matching refining techniques, then it must be invaluable.

Now there is a lack of matching refining methods, and even the formula is not complete.

Your Excellency said that only the part of smelting the magic core is missing, but the recipe is incomplete. Does anyone know if there is any other information recorded on the missing corner?

With this incomplete formula, who knows if the complete formula can be launched?

Even if it can be done, how much will it cost?

Everything is unknown.

Super high risk, reduces the value of the formula.Now I can only offer 2 gold coins, or something equivalent, so take a gamble! "

Hudson said solemnly.

Obviously, this level of gamble is not easy for him.

Compared with the expense of purchasing formula, the investment in later research and development is the real bulk.

The most important thing is that the Koslow family does not have its own master alchemist, so they can only turn to others for help, which will cost even more.

"Compared with the risk I took, this benefit is not worth mentioning at all.

Because of this incomplete prescription, I had a narrow escape.Even after leaving the Northland, the Orc Empire did not withdraw their arrest warrant for me.

In addition to [-] gold coins, I also need Your Excellency to come forward to coordinate and help me replace the scattered fiefs together.

If you have researched the complete formula, please also copy a copy for me! "

After hearing Baron Kettley's conditions, Hudson rolled his eyes directly.

Except for the easiest [-] gold coins, the remaining two are very difficult to complete.

Helping coordinate the replacement of the territory sounds simple, but if it is really implemented, it will be a big trouble.

The third point is not negotiable. Copying a copy sounds simple, but in fact it is pure blood loss.

Hudson has no way to explain to other investors the high investment in research and development in exchange for the sharing of results.

"impossible!"

"If you want to come up with a complete formula, it is impossible to do it without countless experiments.

If it was simple, your family would have already done it, so why bother to take it out to me?

This kind of investment is also not something that the Mountain Territory can afford, and the entire Koslow family may not be able to bear it either. I have to recruit people to share the risk.

Unless you are willing to contribute formulas for free, or are willing to spend money in it, we can continue to talk if you cut off the third item. "

Seeing this scene, Baron Kettley also secretly complained.

The life essence formula is indeed priceless, even if it is incomplete, it is not low, but this thing is not easy to sell!
Families with purchasing power don't need this stuff.The family that needs it can't afford it.

Although some mid-level nobles with shallow foundations also need this thing, but there are not many people in their mouths, and there is not a big gap in the life essence.

I won't buy a copy for ten or eight years, and there is no cost performance at all. Why spend a lot of money on it?
Including Ketley's own family, they gave up research and development because of the disproportionate input and output.

Families with both needs and purchasing power like the Koslow family can't be found in the entire Alpha Kingdom.

"I don't need the formula, but if your family researches it, it must be sold to me at a low price in the future."

Lord Kettler fought hard.

If he didn't feel threatened and urgently needed to strengthen his strength, he wouldn't risk selling this thing.

When looking for Hudson, in addition to valuing the willingness of the Koslow family to buy, more importantly, it comes from reputation.

The entire southeastern province knows that Baron Hudson will follow his word.There is no deceit in doing business. After signing the contract, it has never been broken.

"no problem!
But let me state first, if the materials used to refine the life essence are too rare, I can't guarantee the quantity.

Moreover, your acquisition of these life essences is also limited to your own use, and sales to outsiders is prohibited.

This is also the tacit understanding of the major forces. If you think about it, you will not knowingly commit a crime and bring disaster to yourself. "

Hudson agreed casually.

This kind of strategic resource is not for making money.No matter how huge the profit is, he dare not sell it.

"it is good!"

With Ketley's voice falling to the ground, it was announced that the transaction was officially completed.

The [-] gold coins are naturally free, but Master Hudson is not so arrogant that he can take out [-] gold coins at any time.

If you really want to do that, the cash flow of the territory may not be long before there will be problems.Hitting IOUs is the kingly way of trading.

As for whether to pay in cash or to deduct goods in the future, it depends on Baron Kettley's own choice.

According to Hudson's experience in debt, more than [-]% of creditors will choose discounted goods to cover their debts.

"[-]% off", this is his greatest sincerity to creditors.You can enjoy the same discount no matter you are purchasing any product from Mountain Land.

It is a pity that the mountainous area currently only sells iron products, and other industries have not even seen the bud.Greatly limit the consumption desire of creditors.

After seeing off Baron Kettley, Hudson was embarrassed to find that he couldn't understand the formula of the life liquid in his hand.

In his opinion, professional magic terms are similar to the unique words of a certain industry in his previous life.Except for those within the circle who can understand it, the outsiders are all dumbfounded.

He stretched out his hand to wake up the sleeping cub lying behind him, and shook the parchment in front of Uncle Xiong's eyes a few times, only to be greeted with a foolish look from Bear Stearns.

In an instant, Hudson realized that he had done something stupid.His master's knowledge is limited. As a pet bear, how can his culture be so high?
If it weren't for the great ancestors of the Earth Bears who left them with precious inheritance memories, with the style of this group of lazy people, it is estimated that they can turn themselves into pure illiteracy.

These hidden magic terms were born in the last few hundred years and are not in the inherited memory. Bear Stearns is naturally as confused as Hudson.

Originally wanted to get Baron Kettley to translate, but in the end Hudson held back.

Face is still important.Anyway, it was just a verbal white note, and the money was not paid, and I was not afraid of buying fake products.

……

"Father, uncles, how much do you know about July?"

Instead of rushing to mention the formula of life essence, he first cared about the July meeting, not because Hudson couldn't distinguish between priorities, but because of practical needs.

The formula of the incomplete life liquid can be researched at any time, but something will happen in July, and it is likely to be just around the corner.

Without more information, he, the supplier of the July meeting, really has no idea.

"This organization is very mysterious, it was born a hundred years ago, and no one knows the specific internal structure.

However, I found records about this organization in a note left by my great-grandfather.

It seems that the founders of this organization are a group of orphans of northern aristocrats who are unwilling to lose their foundations.The purpose at the beginning of its establishment was to avenge the five giants of the Northland.

Back then, there were still people who asked us to join, but the ancestral land was lost, the people in the branches were in panic, and there was no leader in the clan, so the matter was left alone.

These are all materials from a hundred years ago. After the vicissitudes of life, the people who founded the July Society have already done it.

Now this organization may have undergone a qualitative change long ago.If you just want to seek revenge from the five giants and regain the lost foundation, there is absolutely no need to shout the slogan of overthrowing the kingdom. "

Shane Knight's words awakened Hudson.If the Koslow family can survive, there will definitely be survivors of other northern nobles who lost their foundations.

Apart from those who went south, some of these people insisted on staying in the north.The in-law relationship between nobles is intricate, and it is not difficult to find a relative to join them.

Even if someone took advantage of the trend and mixed into the five major families, Hudson would not be surprised.

If the gang of slave traders were descendants of nobles who had lost their foundation in the past, then their actions now are understandable.

At that time, the five major families borrowed the hands of the orcs to destroy their family foundation.

Now they are carrying forward the practices of the five major families, and also using the power of the orcs to avenge the five major families, which is completely justified.

If analyzed in this way, the Koslow family should stand with them.Only by subverting the rule of the five major families over the Northland can it be possible to get back the ancestral land.

Just think about it in your heart. If it is really implemented, Hudson is still firmly opposed.

It is easy to start a war, but difficult to end it.Without enough strength, it would lead to a war rashly, and it would definitely be the Alpha Kingdom that would suffer.

The five major families in the Northland may collapse, but the nobles and nobles in the kingdom will not be able to please them.Maybe at some point, they will be forced to shed blood on the battlefield.

Even if he wins the battle and takes back the family ancestral land, Hudson is unwilling to be neighbors with orcs in the past.

Resisting the orc invasion cannot be achieved by the efforts of one lord or one family.

All the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom work together, and they can only be beaten passively.Only when countries on the mainland join forces can we win.

In this context, no matter who is stationed in the Northland, the situation is extremely embarrassing.

"People from the July Society have recently been secretly purchasing weapons and equipment across the kingdom, and they strongly demand that they only buy low-quality weapons.

The Guangshan Territory received an order enough to arm [-] troops. Judging from the size of some custom-made weapons, they did not seem to be used by ethnic soldiers.

I suspect that these weapons are intended to be smuggled to the Orc Empire, and are specially provided to the vassal races under the command of the five royal families.

If the inference is accurate, then the orc empire is beginning to prepare for war.At least one of the five royal families is preparing to invade the south. "

Hudson said worriedly.

The orc empire's southward invasion did not always involve the five royal families together, only a full-scale war would come out.

Sometimes they come to one family, sometimes they come to two families. How many people come depends entirely on their mood.

Every time the south is invaded, it drives countless vassal race cannon fodder to play the vanguard.Rather than saying it was a special invasion of the south, it was not to say that it was to consume the surplus population in the country and rob it along the way.

Alone against the previous orc royal invasion, the Alpha Kingdom was still not afraid.Encountering two orc royal families, sitting in the fortress for defense, they can barely cope.

If there are more, please call for help!
Don't say it's a fight, you can't even defend it.It can only trade space for time, resisting steadily on local battlefields, delaying time and waiting for reinforcements from various countries.

"Don't worry too much about this kind of thing, you can find that the high-level people in the kingdom are not fools.

July will also lose its mind.

It is easy to purchase ordnance, but it is not so simple to transport so many weapons and equipment to the orc empire.

Whether it is the kingdom's garrison or the five major families of the Northland, they will try their best to intercept them.

In addition to paying attention to ordnance, you can actually pay attention to changes in the grain market.On the eve of the outbreak of previous wars, food prices will rise.

There will always be a gang of traitors trying to find ways to grab supplies for the orc empire.Some nobles in the kingdom, for their own benefit, turned a blind eye to this. "

Baron Redman said indignantly.

Looking at that expression, it seemed that he wished to tear up those traitors and greedy nobles who ignored the interests of the human race.

It was extremely embarrassing for Hudson who was on the sidelines.According to this standard, he is definitely a member of the greedy nobles.

There is no way, and those who sell arms are not good products.The general environment is like this, and he also learned badly.

If you look at the major arms dealers in the country, you can tell from the booming business that none of them refused these door-to-door orders.

"Okay, Redman.

Getting angry with those people has no meaning other than being able to piss off one's own body.

Whether and when the orc empire invaded is not something we small people are qualified to ask.

Even if there was a real fight, it would be the guys from Beidi who had a headache first.Maybe this battle is a turning point for the family to regain their ancestral land.

First, according to our established plan, find a way to get more life essence, and train as many knights as possible to strengthen the strength of the family. "

The oldest Knight Feder persuaded.

As people get older, their focus is different.For Knight Feide, the biggest dream is to get back the ancestral land in his lifetime.

No matter which branch got it back, as long as he can plant the flag of the Koslow family, that is his lifelong wish.

As soon as the topic went off track, everyone started discussions around the recovery of the ancestral land, making Hudson like an outsider.

This kind of attachment to the ancestral land from the bottom of his heart is beyond Hudson's comprehension.The only thing he can do is to nod from time to time to show that he supports the recovery of the ancestral land.

Participate in the discussion, it is free.It's not Hudson's passive sabotage, it's really everyone's strategic plan, which is so rough that it makes people speechless.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to make a wish under the statue of the Lord of Dawn instead of discussing it.

After everyone's discussion was almost over, Hudson slowly asked: "Father, uncles, do you have any familiar alchemists?
Or in other branches, it is also possible to have contacts in this area.But it must be absolutely reliable, without any mistakes. "

"Why are you asking these questions, do you want to learn alchemy instead?"

Baron Redman asked with concern.

After finally raising an outstanding son, he didn't want to see Hudson fall into the pit of alchemy.

In the circle of small nobles, there has always been a saying: "Three generations of magic are poor, and alchemy ruins one's life."

In short, these two gold-eating professions are not accessible to the poor.

Although the Mountain Territory is developing well, it is still heavily in debt, and Hudson has nothing to do with Fu for the time being.

It's all right to become a magician, it's a gift from a monster, you can't get it cheap and act good.

But Hudson's astonishing monthly expenses still shocked Baron Redman, and completely made him stop the idea of ​​letting his juniors learn magic.

Hudson is capable and can handle a huge pit.If you jump into another pit, it's hard to say.

"Just this morning, I accidentally bought a fragment of the formula of the original liquid of life. Most of the content on it is complete, but the part of smelting the magic core is missing.

I would like to ask a reliable alchemist to help translate it, and by the way, calculate how much investment it will take to restore it..."
