Archmage Carlisle stopped hiccupping, restored his ability to cast spells, and immediately returned to the Tower of Babel. Soon, he received a new order from the legendary mage:
The adventure mission is suspended. Let the kid seize the time to meditate and stabilize his realm. Then, memorize all the spells that can be learned at level five! Memorize the information and spell models!
"You're done." After hearing the message from His Excellency the Archmage, Aurora gloated and congratulated Gretel:
"The third-level magic that fifth-level mages can learn, the general spell books - I mean, the ones that can be redeemed in the White Tower Library - the eight schools add up, there are 42 in total. Counting the secrets of each school
, I am willing to open it to you for exchange only if I have a good relationship with you... I want to think about how many there are in total..."
"211." Lin En added calmly. "Before I went out to travel, my instructor showed me the list of spells I could get, and it was 211."
"..."
Gretel was silent.
Even if he memorizes 42 spell models a day and never forgets them after memorizing them, it will still take 42 days; 211 spell models will take more than half a year. Based on his experience of memorizing level 6 words, by memorizing the 211th one,
If he only forgets fifty or sixty in the past, he has studied hard and has an excellent memory.
And more importantly...
"Why do I have to buy these spell models myself?!"
I didn’t buy it last time!
During the last upgrade, Master Carlisle took all the second-level spell books directly and threw them in front of him. He was not allowed to leave until he memorized them!
this……
Aurora sweated. I don’t know why you didn’t buy it last time. Generally speaking, you have to pay for exchanging spell books. Either the magician himself pays, or the magician’s master pays...
"Third-level general-purpose spells, one spell model costs 200 contribution points, and you can get half the discount if you exchange it from within the school. It's very cheap." He comforted Gretel in a good voice:
"It's not like you can't afford it. I remember your previous paper on alternating current, which rewarded you with 1,000 contribution points, right?" Gretel generously distributed 300 points to him. 200 points were stored in the public account of the Mage Tower, and he still had 1,000 contribution points.
It’s 500 points!
"So it still costs more than 2,000! If I want to buy all 211 of them, I will go bankrupt!"
"You don't need to buy those, you just need to memorize the introduction and know that there is such a spell..."
While Grete was crying "I'm going bankrupt," "I'm going to be finished," and "I'm going to memorize this book until I die," he still obediently paid for all 42 spell models. No matter what, this request
, and it’s also for his own good.
According to Lin En, these are requirements only for the elites of each school. Ordinary low-level mages have no one to care about you. If you go out to travel, take risks, and fight by yourself, you are not knowledgeable enough and vigilant enough. If you stumble, you deserve to die.
.
However, after buying it, Grete looked at the account balance that had dropped by half in an instant, and began to feel frightened again:
"Oluo, what other ways can we save money? If we continue to spend like this, we will go bankrupt..."
Aurora rolled her eyes. He was a fifth-level mage. He had studied in Nevis for several years and had accumulated 1,500 contribution points;
Gretel was just promoted to level 4 mage today. He has been in Nevis for less than two years and has spent thousands. Now he still has 2,000 contribution points in his hand...
How does Grete feel that he is on the verge of bankruptcy every minute?
"Your Dragon's Breath Hand's current monthly income is between 100 and 200 contribution points. The income from the microscope has dropped recently, and has been around 50 contribution points for three consecutive months. Plus some other miscellaneous items, you
I can earn 200 to 300 contribution points every month even if I just lie down."
This number is already more than five times that of an ordinary fourth-level mage!
Not to mention that Grete didn’t have to spend a lot of money, such as renting a meditation room...
"But you are about to reach level 6, right? After level 6, you will reach level 7, and you need to prepare to buy level 4 magic," Grete said confidently:
"And Lin En, you are almost at level six, right? The fourth level magic is much more expensive than the third level, so why don't you prepare it early?"
"Can't I go to the teacher?"
"Don't I have any savings of my own?"
Aurora and Linn retorted at the same time. Gretel smiled at them:
"You are my followers, so I should support you! And Mr. Norwood, he works for me, so I should also pay him a salary, right?"
The two fifth-level mages looked at each other, angry and funny, and a little warm in their hearts. Lin En finally sighed:
"Okay, okay. You don't have to worry about not having enough money - have you forgotten the penicillin? The God of War Temple has asked me twice. If you weren't busy advancing, you would have talked to them long ago!"
"Yes! I'll sort out the papers..."
The production and clinical application of penicillin, as well as related principles, can be divided into three or five large papers. Research points, contribution points, here I come!
Gretel is gearing up.
There was quite a lot of data from animal experiments and clinical experiments before, and it would take him ten days and a half just to sort it out. However, as soon as he started, an uninvited guest came to his door:
The archbishop of the Temple of the God of War made an appointment with Elder Wood, the great magician of the conjuration system in the review committee, and the great mage Tolga who helped with treatment during the epidemic, and went directly to the mage tower.
"You want to buy it now?" Gretel looked embarrassed:
"But, I don't have time to do it..."
He subconsciously looked at Elder Wood.
Grete was very interested in the research and development of penicillin; but he was not at all interested in mass production after the research and development was completed.
It would be great if Elder Wood could take charge of the production... However, with a high-level spellcaster tied up in the mage tower and promoting the growth of penicillium every day, Gretel felt that he could not even speak out.
"This is easy, you don't need to do it." Elder Wood raised his hand with a smile. Behind him, a tall girl stepped out and bowed slightly to Gretel:
"Pastor Nordmark, am I lucky enough to join the Mage Tower and continue to learn from you?"
It's a wild boar girl! Gretel suddenly understood. Among the four priests of the God of Nature who came to the Mage Tower to study, if he could decide to keep one of them, this girl would definitely be the first choice. However, when the real person stood in front of him, Gretel was still a little hesitant.
:
"Miss Annevia, of course I welcome you if you want to join the Mage Tower. However, I am only a fourth-level priest myself and have not received a complete education. I am afraid that I am not capable enough to guide you as a priest.
catch……"
"Mr. Nordmark, the path you have created has given me great inspiration." Annevia looked calm and bowed slightly again:
"I hope to join your project and continue to develop it. My intuition tells me that if I continue to move forward on this road, my future will be bright."
What a powerful intuition!
Grete sighed. Yes, just understanding penicillin is already at the level of a great druid. Not to mention that after penicillin there are streptomycin, erythromycin, and down to vancomycin...
There are also various bacterial cultures, medical treatment, a lot of vaccines... tons and tons of projects are lined up. As long as this girl keeps following him on projects and relying solely on feedback from the world, she will have no problem reaching level 15 at least!
"Little Grete, you can rest assured about the guidance." Elder Wood said with a smile:
"This girl's father and mother are both servants of the God of Nature, so there is no problem in guiding her. If you think she works hard enough and is spiritual in her work, just let her participate in your project. Besides, I will
I won’t leave it alone.”
Gretel heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up with a smile and stretched out his palm seriously:
"Miss Annevia, welcome to join my Mage Tower. We will discuss our future projects and your position in the team later."
The two palms were separated as soon as they were grasped. Annevia's palm was warm and powerful, and the edge of the palm was hard, a bit rougher than Gretel's hand. Gretel secretly reminded himself to remember to bring her a bottle of glycerin to wipe her hands when she came back, and turned to the other people.
Guests:
"Then, let's talk about the sales of penicillin. - My idea is that once there are too many impurities in penicillin, the risk of death from allergies will skyrocket. For the time being, we will only produce this special medicine in the Mage Tower and sell the finished product to the outside world.
To ensure pure quality.”
"What about the selling price?"
Archmage Tolga asked impatiently. By the way, he also gave a reference price:
"Little Gretel, a bottle of potion to treat minor injuries. The price of the temple is five gold coins. You can't bid too high!"
"...Penicillin does not have the power to heal wounds instantly." Gretel kept smiling:
"However, it can suppress certain types of infection, prevent injuries and conditions from getting worse, and allow the patient to heal itself - in other words, it is equivalent to a bottle of slow-acting disease-removing potion. And remove
The price of disease potions, I remember is..."
Level 3 spells, disease removal, spells that priests, druids, rangers, and medical mages can master. A bottle of potion, the standard selling price of all major temples, is 750 gold coins.
The high-level healers looked at each other, and then quickly entered the bargaining stage. Gretel sat beside him with a smile, listening respectfully, and occasionally expressed his opinions on technical issues:
"Dosage? Intramuscular injection for adults, 800,000 units per day, divided into 3 to 4 doses."
"How long should it be used? About a week, at most two weeks. Generally speaking, if there is no effect in about three days, it is time to change the medicine... Oh, I forgot, there is no medicine to change."
"How do you calculate 800,000 units? You don't need to go into detail on this. You will know when my paper comes out. Anyway, when we sell it, we will make it into 200,000 units each..."
"Sell it directly to the temple? Or sell it through the council? It's up to you..."
After bargaining to the end, the conclusion was that all penicillin should be sold in the parliament trading hall, with a fixed quota for the Temple of the God of War. Of course, the Temple of the God of War can also use other materials to offset the contribution points.
Each penicillin, that is, 200,000 units of powder, sells for 1 contribution point. Considering the price ratio between contribution points and gold coins, a 7-day supply of penicillin is about one-fifth of the disease removal potion, which is relatively fair.
Quotation.
Grete calculated the weight of the gold coins and concluded that the price of penicillin for one adult per day was about the same as that of a small yellow croaker. After a week of use, a large yellow croaker would be burned...
It is indeed the most expensive drug in spy dramas, penicillin!
