The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

The auction house is crowded with people.

Xia Zuoyi leaned on the chair and watched the rest of the people slowly walk into the auction room and take their seats.

His legs were crossed, and his right hand, which was wearing a half-glove, rested leisurely on his knee. After a while, he always felt that a gaze was always on him, and he looked at it according to his feeling——

Xia Zuoyi found that the one staring at him was a tall man who was also sitting in the alchemist's area.

The man had short dark brown hair that looked messy, and a pair of brown eyes looked at him, then suddenly moved away in a panic, and his head turned to another direction.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help being puzzled, but she didn't pay too much attention to it.

After a while, he will naturally know the identity of this man.

And the young alchemists who could sit in the front row were no more than those few people who were famous in the Alchemist Association.

Xia Zuoyi had some guesses about the identity of this person in his heart.

Then, he turned his gaze to Chebman Norton, who could almost be said to be the leader of the Alchemy Association, but unexpectedly, he happened to meet the same gaze that Chebman was looking at.

The master alchemist nodded to him with a serious face.

Xia Zuoyi immediately returned the gift.

After Chebman Norton turned his head again, he whispered to Judit who was standing behind him: "Write down Chebman Norton in the notebook and mark the key points, and let Walker focus on investigating his residence later. Where……"

Speaking of which.

Xia Zuoyi paused and continued: "If he disagrees, he will use force, but it is important for Valker to act softly."

"Yes, Lord." Judit said softly.

Judit clearly understood the meaning of Xia Zuoyi's nonsensical words like guessing riddles, and even Fernandi who was standing aside did not show any doubts.

Because last night, Xia Zuoyi summoned them to have a small meeting in the room.

——In this exchange meeting between alchemists and doctors, although he participated as an alchemist, he wanted to show the latest research results.

But the status is aristocratic, and they have to recruit talents to return to the territory.

The rest of the opponents who also want to recruit talents are all competitors.

Since it's a competitive relationship, you can't be polite, especially when dealing with people who have great conflicts with him, such as the Ed Chamber of Commerce and the Marquis of Galli.

Xia Zuoyi wants to take away all the talents they value.

For this reason, he specially asked Judith to prepare a blank book, and record the people he was optimistic about at the exchange meeting, and then there was the matter of Fernandi and Walker...

——To understand people with real talents and real learning with reason and emotion.

If reason and emotion fail, then force can only be used.

Xia Zuoyi came back to her senses, and her gaze swept across all the people sitting in the noble area, including Orville, Archibald, Gener, and the three princes of the empire...

He had some thoughts in his mind.

Not long after, when the gate of the auction house was closed, the master of ceremonies walked up to the front booth, which represented the official start of the exchange meeting.

This is not an era of rich cultural heritage.

The desert of culture is reflected in various places. Even if a piece of land is moistened by rainwater and slowly gathers into a shallow pool, there are still dry and cracked land all around, and the water flow is blocked... Culture cannot be passed on.

Gradually, even the former water pool will slowly disappear.

The culture and research of alchemists is like a pyramid - the higher you go, the more difficult it is.

The schools of alchemy are distinct and hostile to each other.

Not to mention hostility, there are also a lot of people who don't like each other.

Before becoming an independent alchemist, you must first start as an apprentice, and suffer from hard work from scratch. Even becoming an alchemist does not mean you can get ahead-money, equipment, and advanced and agile thinking are also indispensable.

Otherwise, how should we continue to study...

This still specifically refers to civilian alchemists who have no power.

Although it is relatively easy for nobles to become alchemists, and they are supported by money and utensils, alchemy is too expensive to consume gold coins.

However, some dangerous experiments are carried out without various protective measures, and it is very likely to cause damage to the skin and body.

For example, the skin becomes sallow and rough due to alchemy experiments...

This is an intolerable thing for nobles.

The most important thing is - when a steady stream of gold coins disappears due to obsession with alchemy, but no effective results are obtained, the loss of gold coins is greater than everything for the nobles.

Moreover, civilians and slaves living under such aristocratic rule will obviously suffer more ruthless exploitation...

Alchemy isn't pretty in a way.

Many people will give up halfway and die halfway, which leads to very few talents who can stand at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, it is very rare to see an alchemist like Xia Zuoyi Designia who not only has an enviable status, but also is not low in alchemy.

At a young age, he held the Thorn Chamber of Commerce in his hands, which can continuously breed money, and later researched many eye-catching achievements that can earn a lot of gold coins...

Just talk about white sugar-beet sugar.

Just plain beets.

In the past, it was used to make soup, or chopped and mixed with other dishes. Even this kind of dish was removed from the dining table of some nobles, and it was only eaten by low-class slaves or livestock.

Who would have thought that sugar beet can be used to make sugar? Not only is the raw material easy to obtain, but the production method is not too difficult...

What Designia has is too enviable.

And the Territory of Dexinia is the most distinctive place on the Western Continent.

In front of the predators, it is like a piece of honey exuding a sweet smell, and everyone wants to pounce on it and snatch it.

If Xia Zuoyi hadn't been the first to develop the army in the territory, actively recruited civilians and slaves to join the army, improved the barracks system, and changed ordinary cavalry into soldiers...

If it weren't for the cohesion and deterrence of force that were slowly paved at the beginning.

——Conscription, establishment of training camps, the army has clear promotion rewards from now on, etc., only look at personal achievements... Those who have merit can even get rid of the status of slaves.

Among them, for the slaves in various places, the most obvious guiding sign is Captain Mike Andrew, who has become one of the four chiefs of the Black and White Cavalry.

He was once a slave.

Without the backing of the black and white cavalry, I am afraid that everyone would want to take a bite of this "fat" piece of Designia territory.

Therefore, there is no reason why Xia Zuoyi Designia does not attract people's envy and secret hatred, just like some people doubt everything about his alchemy experiments and secretly slander him.

Xia Zuoyi never took the initiative to hear these rumors about herself.

Although the system's omnipotent library exists as his golden finger, it gives him the power to rely on for his existence in this world.

But there is no such thing as knowledge that people are born with.

He also needs to learn to read, and when he understands it, he will continue to dig and explore in his own way combined with the development of reality... and move forward slowly step by step.

Don't be too cautious, but you can't be sloppy with details.

…………

The Ed Chamber of Commerce probably made investigations and arrangements in advance—some lesser-known alchemists or physicians first appeared on stage.

But the results of these experiments don't have much practical significance.

It's just some useless things, and then they verbally exaggerate the effect and make false propaganda.

——It’s as if modern products need a gorgeous and obvious packaging, enough to attract the eye, and enough topicality to attract people who pay for it.

But some people do have preliminary research results in some places.

From time to time, Xia Zuoyi asked Judit to record the talents he was optimistic about, and Yin Ke Ken was among them.

This talented alchemist developed a new type of potion - suppository.

This is a medicament that is solid at normal temperature and needs to be stuffed into the cavity when used, and gradually melts to release the drug to produce local or systemic effects.

It is mainly used to treat patients with gastrointestinal diseases, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms.

Most importantly, it can also treat constipation and relieve pain...

Especially after entering the intestinal tract, it can be turned into water for easy absorption, and it can also lubricate and relieve itching in the cavity-this is a drug that is not suitable for oral administration.

Yin Ke Ken explained in detail.

On the whole, the suppository developed by him is "similar to the same purpose" with the ointment developed by Chebman Norton for the treatment of anal hemorrhoids to a certain extent.

The two complement each other, and probably can cure the disease quickly.

As for the confirmation of the treatment effect, Yin Ke Ken called relevant personnel in advance and asked them to talk about their related experiences in person.

The faces of the nobles were serious and serious.

Except for some ladies who also came to the exchange meeting to cover half of their faces lightly with velvet fans or gloved palms to show embarrassment, the rest did not react much.

Because it's a very important thing to do.

The nobles paid special attention to their health.

After all, once you get sick, you are likely to go directly to life-threatening, but some diseases cause pain but are not fatal.

For example, constipation and hemorrhoids are unavoidable diseases.

I believe that there will always be nine out of ten people who are like this, and even if there is no one left for the time being, it will be soon.

It's a common, yet painfully ill-spoken disease.

Yin Ke Kendao: "I think suppositories can effectively treat symptoms such as abdominal pain and blood in the stool, but this kind of medicine should not be used casually, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the body."

Yin Ke explained all the experimental results honestly.

Then, he handed a suppository inside the cork to the attendant who brought the tray to the stage—all research results similar to medicine need to be tested again.

Xia Zuoyi reminded Judit in a low voice to record Yin Ke Ken in the book and mark it emphatically, and let Walker take the first action against this person later.

Yin Ke Ken's exposition makes perfect sense.

Unlike the previous alchemist who also claimed to have developed a universal antidote.

——He crushed more than ten kinds of herbs, and then made a potion through complicated procedures.

The treatment should also be accompanied by prayers to the Creator God, sprinkling of holy water, spells, etc... In this way, all poisoned patients can be unraveled and people can be cured.

Total bullshit.

Xia Zuoyi thought about it and shook his head, then he saw another person walking towards the booth.

This man was the man with short dark brown hair who had been staring at him just now. He was introduced by the master of ceremonies—his name was Philif Keel.

Xia Zuoyi subconsciously sat up straight.

Oh, another genius of the alchemy school, I don't know what his research results are.
