Chapter 47 The traveling merchant’s recipe is only fine wine and barbecue.
The task Celine assigned to Brand was to aim at the upper limit of his mental power and add as many rune strokes as possible.
For Brand, this is actually not that difficult.
The only troublesome thing is that you need to calculate a little bit how many strokes you need to add.
Each primitive rune has several times more strokes than what Brand saw in the textbook.
It is basically not considered to draw it completely, Brand does not have enough mental strength.
But when Brand thought about it, Celine didn't know what her specific upper limit of mental power was.
So actually the whole thing is pretty much the same.
After thinking about this, after a while of picking and choosing, Brand began to practice in the simulated world according to the runes with twice the original strokes.
...
In the reception room, in a pleasant atmosphere, Mr. Holander and Grace finalized the cooperation agreement between the Holander family and the Huangqiangwei Chamber of Commerce.
Half a month later, the medicinal materials purchased by the Holander family will gradually arrive in the Holander territory, and the Holander family needs to settle the final payment for the goods at that time.
It is conceivable that after that, the Holland family's reserves of knight secret medicine will be further increased.
"The strength of your Chamber of Commerce is really eye-opening to me. If you had come to the Kaya Empire station earlier, the endless stream of buyers every day would surely have leveled the threshold of the Huangqiangwei Chamber of Commerce." "The medicinal materials of the Holander
family The demand surprised me. The amount of medicinal materials you purchased this time is already equivalent to the combined annual purchase of medicinal materials by many knight families in the Kingdom of Lana. And I heard that the Holander family also has its own medicine garden, right?
" After speaking, Mr. Holander said helplessly: "That's all forced by the situation."
Just when Grace was expecting Mr. Holander to continue talking, Mr. Holander changed the subject:
"Don't talk about those things. This is a sad thing. What plans does the Huang Qiangwei Chamber of Commerce have next? If you want to contact other knight families, I think I can help. In the Kaya Empire, the Holland family still has many good friends. Although she was a
little disappointed that she didn't get the information she wanted, Grace still smiled and thanked her:
"Our Huang Qiangwei Chamber of Commerce will indeed continue to look for other knight families. It would be great if Lord Viscount Holland is willing to help." In addition, I have a private matter during this trip that I want to ask Viscount Holland."
Mr. Holland patted his chest and promised: "No matter what private matter it is, I will try my best to help you!"
At this time, Ge Lace suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "I wonder if your son, Mr. Brand, is married?"
Brand? Marriage?
Seeing Grace's youthful and beautiful appearance, Mr. Holland's eyes suddenly brightened.
By the way, with the Huang Qiangwei Chamber of Commerce being so powerful, it seems like a good choice to become allies!
...
In Brand's bedroom, one-third of the holiday homework assigned by Celine about the traditional writing of runes has been completed. Brand has successfully completed the work of writing the No. 1 rune.
Because it’s really not that difficult, and my mental strength is still in the recovery stage.
So Brand took the initiative to start a new round of learning.
As a mage, although only in reserve.
But Brand always felt that he was still missing something iconic.
That is - magic!
How can a mage not cast spells!
Even people who are not as good as him, such as Andy, were told when they attended the final dinner that they would release small fireballs!
And he, Brand, is now a junior mage apprentice, but now he doesn't know any spells.
This is really inappropriate!
Thinking like this, Brand took out a textbook called "Principles of Spell Release". After cheering himself up, Brand turned to the first page... "
Master, it's time to eat."
Catherine The sound woke Brand from his deep sleep.
Naturally, he flipped through the "Principles of Spell Release" textbook in front of him for most of the morning before he could reach the third page and closed it. Brand stretched out a big stretch.
It has to be said that if you consume too much mental energy, you will easily become sleepy.
Learning under such circumstances is always full of difficulties and obstacles.
But at the same time, Brand felt sincerely: Learning is such a boring thing!
While Brand was enjoying lunch, Catherine took out a small stack of magic circle base plates and handed them to Brand.
Catherine said: "This is the result of the workshop so far, a total of 9 magic circle base plates for magic arrows."
Seeing this small stack of magic circle base plates, Brand nodded with satisfaction.
With Brand's current full mental state, he can probably draw two runes at a time. Counting the natural recovery of his mental energy, nine scrolls are enough for him to draw for several days.
"Does the workshop still have enough funds?"
Brand was a little concerned about the workshop's capital operation. If there were difficulties in operation, he would draw a few pictures as soon as possible for emergency use.
Catherine said: "Although many materials are collected in the Holland family warehouse, judging from the current situation, the funds we invest can only support it until next week at most." Next week, there are still several days until next week
.
Brand had enough time to craft the spell scroll.
"At that time, I will make a few finished scrolls and sell them in the market."
The scroll business is gradually getting on the right track, and now Brand's desire for magic has increased a bit.
After lunch, drink a bottle of meditation potion and renew the meditation time in the afternoon.
Brand once again set his sights on the "Principles of Spell Release".
Brand felt that the reason why he fell asleep this morning must be because drawing the runes consumed a lot of mental energy.
He didn't believe that he would fall asleep this time during continuous meditation!
...
At the gate of Holland Castle, Grace, who had been talking about things all day, finally said goodbye.
Originally, Mr. Holland wanted to invite Grace to have dinner together.
However, Grace firmly rejected Mr. Holland's invitation on the grounds that the cooking of the Holland family was not suitable for traveling businessmen.
——The traveling merchant’s recipe has always been wine and barbecue!
Mr. Holland was in awe after hearing this statement.
But at the same time, he also felt that he would never become a traveling businessman.
After all, he likes a lot more food besides wine and barbecue!
...
"Master, it's time to eat."
Familiar voice, familiar sentences, and different page numbers.
This time it’s time to reach the staggering number of pages on page 10!
Closing the book naturally again.
Brand was greatly confused.
After drinking the meditation potion, even if his body on the Farnes continent falls asleep, he should still be awake on the other side of the simulation world!
Brand couldn't help but start to recall what he was doing in the simulation world?
Why do you just let the body on the Farnes continent fall into a deep sleep?
After trying so hard to remember, Brand only recalled the softness of the bed?
impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
At this moment, Catherine opened the cracked window.
The evening wind carried the setting sun and swept away the filth and turbidity in the house. Brand felt a rare clarity and tranquility.
So it must be a ventilation problem!
Brand threw the book aside and began to enjoy his dinner.
