Chapter 8 Fish and Bear's Paws
A notice was posted on the Alchemy Guild bulletin board:
From now on, all members must master enchantment skills, and the guild will give corresponding rewards based on the proficiency level.
In the conference room, the leaders of the Alchemy Guild were having a meeting.
"Xiao Yang, tell me about our plans to several directors." Norton spoke first as the president.
"Dear uncles", Yang Jian nodded.
"At present, our group holds more than 20 fire cards, and the current price of fire cards has risen to about 500,000 yuan per fire card."
"Ha", the people in the venue were all excited.
"However, we will not sell any one yet." Yang Jian is tepid.
"Ha", there was a commotion in the venue.
"Our plan is to sell it after reaching a price of more than 5 million." Yang Jian scanned the venue.
"You are missing out on business opportunities!" said a director angrily.
"Lawless boy!" another director said even more angrily.
"You rely on the support of the president and don't take us veterans seriously!" Another director told the truth.
"In fact," Yang Jian's expression remained unchanged, saying word by word, "You were fired!"
"President, I protest! You can't watch the guild be ruined in this kid's hands!"
The last director stared at Norton pitifully, trying to make a last try.
"Yang Jian means what I mean," Norton said indifferently.
"You guys are out!".
After sending away the old antiques from the guild, there were only three people left in the huge conference room.
"What kind of help does the Adventurers League need to provide?" asked Hans, a fighter.
"All adventurers must gradually master the four skills of alchemy, enchantment, doll, and break down," said Norton.
"Encourage first", Yang Jian suggested.
After receiving the affirmation from the other two, Yang Jian continued.
"I think the place in Sky City is highly concealed, and it is very important for development and hiding the strength of our group. We should consider buying this land after making a profit from Huoka."
"The people from that land magic guild want to swallow it in one bite."
Norton said angrily.
"Make plans then and fight the fire card battle first."
In just a few days, the Alchemist Guild concentrated all its financial resources and ate all the fire cards at a high price.
A few weeks later, news came from the northern border of the empire: the plague had spread throughout the Northmal region, with signs of a large-scale outbreak.
At the same time, Belmar officially issued a reward order: adventurers who find the source of the plague will receive tens of millions of rewards and will be given titles.
Adventurers and consortiums flocked to the Northmal area.
In the northern town of Lessephin, many tents were built here one after another, and there were even some watchtowers.
An adventurer stood at the entrance of Lessepin's village and hesitated whether to rush in and take a look.
At this time, some people walked out of the village, and they all looked like they were wearing colorful clothes.
Seeing this, the adventurer asked quickly: "Brothers, what's going on inside?"
A strong man was holding a magic weapon in his hand, and seemed to have suffered a considerable injury. He hummed and spit out a word: "fire".
"Are you angry?" The adventurer was puzzled.
"I said I wanted to let his grandma go!" The strong man couldn't help but swear.
In less than a week, the price of the hot card at the Huttonmar Auction House exceeded 5 million. This thing was originally used for the gamble between rich people, but now it has become a must for adventurers to enter and exit Lessophen. So the price has gone all the way, but there is still no market price.
The Alchemist Guild launched fire card sales and weapon enchantment services in a timely manner, and the threshold was almost broken for a moment.
There were many people standing in front of the Alchemy Guild, some holding slogans and signs to buy fire cards, and some even set up shops to stay here.
Not long after, a carriage with the royal badge was parked at the guild's door, and a gorgeously dressed royal envoy came out of it.
"Sir President, on behalf of the Belmar Royal Family, I hope to cooperate with you."
Specially looked at Norton with a sincere gaze.
"What kind of cooperation method?" Norton was intrigued.
"Belmar Royal Family will designate the Alchemy Guild as the only provider of Fire Cards."
The envoy suddenly raised his voice.
"In return, a quarter of the treasury tax revenue in that year will be gradually paid to your guild."
"In addition to providing fire cards, the guild must also bear the responsibility for enchanting weapons."
