Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Bryony smiled and said, "This simple consumption will enhance the strength of the family's mounts and knights. I didn't expect the Iron Curtain Principality's 'key potion' to be of such high quality." Her smile was full of satisfaction and surprise, and her eyes were shining with longing for the future.

Knight mentor: "Thank you very much. The magicians praised that the boiling potion is a real magic potion. We are short of supplies here, so we can only work hard to save resources. Therefore, the boiling potion improves the basic strength, allowing the knights to train three to eight years less, which can save a lot of various resources..."

The Knight Mentor bowed slightly, with a humble smile on his face, and his tone was sincere and firm.

He continued, "In our Iron Curtain Principality, the scarcity of resources forces us to be thrifty and use every ingredient to its fullest extent in order to create such a potion with such a remarkable effect."

Bryony: "Can you continue to produce this medicine for me? I'll come back every once in a while, and I'll take as much as I can." Her eyes revealed eagerness and anticipation, as if she had already seen the huge benefits these medicines would bring to the family.

Knight Instructor: "Haha, the boiling potion is custom-made by the Magic Association. When your distinguished guest made an offer just now, they bought out half a year's production capacity of the Magic Association. Refining the potion is not a problem. We are limited by the materials. The amount of bloodlines collected from these monsters is limited. We will not take their lives. The students of the Knight Academy collect bloodlines about once a year..."

The Knight Instructor shook his head helplessly, with an embarrassment on his face, and continued to explain: "We are in awe of these monsters, and only collect a small amount of their blood to ensure that they can continue to reproduce and survive. Moreover, most of these monsters live in harsh and dangerous places, so collecting blood is extremely difficult."

Bryney probably already knew the production process of the boiling potion, which was indeed complicated, mainly because they were reluctant to kill the wild monsters and still hoped they would reproduce.

Those magical beasts play a vital role in the Iron Curtain Principality's ecosystem. Their existence is not only related to the production of potions, but also the foundation for the survival and development of the entire principality.

The magic academy uses small captive magical beasts to release into the wild to expand the population. She nodded, thinking secretly in her heart how to establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship to obtain more boiling potions.

Every wild monster is a precious resource. How to rationally develop and utilize it while ensuring the stability of its population is an issue that requires careful planning.

Bryony smiled and said, "Knight Boiling Potion and Pet Potential Potion are very competitive. We should try to sell them to the whole world!" Her eyes were shining with confidence, as if she had seen these potions shine in the global market.

The Knight Instructor's eyes burned, then quickly dimmed: "With this production capacity, it's impossible. Wild monsters are limited, and we can't exploit them too much. If they all die, the people of the Iron Curtain Principality will starve to death. Only by relying on monsters can we ensure a prosperous life for humans..." His face was full of helplessness and worry, and he was well aware of the constraints brought by the fragile ecology and limited resources of the Principality.

Bryony: "The order I gave you will help the Knight Academy live well!" Her tone was filled with a hint of tentativeness and expectation.

Knight Instructor: "Of course, to be honest, this money came unexpectedly, don't worry, the excess capacity will be given to you in the future..." Knight Instructor was delighted, as if he saw the light of hope for the future development of the college.

Bryony said, "If we send knights to go over mountains and across rivers to neighboring countries to buy food, meat and daily necessities, how much food or daily necessities can we bring back with this money, regardless of the cost?" She frowned and thought seriously about how to solve the problem of material shortage in the principality.

"Ms. Magician, it's really not cost-effective. We can't transport much food back by crossing mountains and rivers. The supplies will be at least twenty times more expensive. Currently, the Magic Association can only subsidize a large amount of money to distribute daily necessities at a loss, so that civilians can afford two meals a day. The Empire regularly subsidizes a huge sum of money to the Magic Association to barely maintain the livelihood of the people across the country. It is almost impossible to transport food by manpower, and the freight is more expensive than the teleportation array..."

The Knight Instructor shook his head repeatedly and explained in detail the difficulty and impracticality involved.

Bryony: "The food in your neighboring country is very expensive because of road transportation. If the food is thousands of miles away, it may be cheaper. Have you ever thought about it?" She did not give up exploring various possibilities.

"The magicians must have tried it, and it won't be much cheaper, so it probably won't work! Domestic indoor planting can solve part of the food supply, and the rest can only be solved outside..." The Knight Instructor sighed and helplessly stated the predicament facing the Principality.

Bryony suddenly had an idea and said with a smile, "Well, the purchase price of the medicine will be tripled. What do you think of transporting food from thousands of miles away?" Her face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Ah! Dear Miss Magician, this is definitely great. Are you really willing to pay a high price? It can solve some of the funding problems and allow us to purchase more food." The Knight Instructor was so surprised that his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hahaha, I am willing to buy your medicine at a high price. Anyway, I won't lose money, especially since good medicine has a strong competitive advantage. These medicines are all tested by you at the risk of your lives, so it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher, but except for your countrymen, they can never be circulated in other markets, and all the drugs produced belong to me..." Blaney's tone was firm and decisive.

"Of course. Anyway, we can't sell it to you at such a high price. Apart from domestic consumption, the rest will belong to you. I'll keep my word..." The Knight Instructor promised solemnly.

Blaney sighed: "Because of human alchemy in your country, some of the potions are very powerful. Only these kinds of medicines can improve the economic difficulties of the principality. I pay three times the amount in return, hoping that you can exchange them for more food and daily necessities. In this way, the food for wild monsters will increase, and the production capacity of potions will be improved, so it is mutually beneficial."

She spoke earnestly, her eyes full of expectations for the future of the principality.

"Dear Miss Magician, we want more sophisticated weapons and high-quality armor. Alas, we lack everything..." The Knight Instructor said eagerly.

Bryony smiled and said, "You don't understand economics. You can't even think about it if the country hasn't developed to a certain level. Forget about weapons and armor for the next 20 years. Focus on releasing those small captive monsters into the wild and expand the monster population. You can't just have these few strong products like potions. You have to invest in research and development of new products and improve your ability to make money. Only with this correct development can I sell your medicines to the whole world, and you will have more money to improve your life and increase the population... Then you can think about weapons and armor..." She patiently explained the long-term development strategy and painted a beautiful future picture for the principality.

In order to monopolize the several kinds of medicine here, Blaney bought them at three times the price. In this way, their economy would improve, wild monsters would have the opportunity to reproduce, and production capacity would increase in a few years.
