Chapter 90 – New Products (End)
The books and instruments of this underground laboratory were mostly found from Banner’s place. Since the territory was yet to be established, Rumont had moved the temporary laboratory to this place; endlessly getting items related to a Druid and endlessly converting it into his own knowledge.
Digesting these experiences, as Rumont would put it, was of a major benefit. However, when it came to putting it into practice, these antidotes were not that easy to produce. After nights and days of experimentations by Rumont, he had only managed it today.
Now, he had finally obtained success. Each step was not taken without substance!
Rumont’s mood right now was relaxed and cheerful: “since I’ve already synthesized it, then the other medical compounds that have a lowered difficult, but have a use for the majority of the townsfolk, for example medicines that treat and alleviate pain for ailments can also be created……furthermore, with the Shennong Horn providing superior herbs, as well as having a catalyst to increase the quality by about 10 percent, I’ll definitely make big profits in the future!”
“There’s still 10 days until the end of the current month, it just so happens I need a short period to revise and consolidate my knowledge, as well as further familiarize myself with it. If there’s no errors, I can then……” after getting rid of the medical solution, Rumont again continued on with his task.
“First, I need to mess about and find an even more accurate scale, to determine the standardized specificity.” Rumont pursed his lips and said.
Over the course of these few days, he discovered that the original prescription of synthesizing the medicines, there was no standard specificity; especially the weight. Measuring scales existed in this world, but the inaccuracies were rather high. For the discipline of herbal concoction, it was evidently inadequate. Perhaps in this world, there would be an even more accurate weighing scale, but Rumont currently did not have the fundings nor connections for it. He had no choice but to rack his brains, searching through his knowledge from the previous world and utilizing his Nature force to measure more accurately, conducting improvements for the equipments.
Time quickly passed by. Rumont who had digested the knowledge, had synthesized several varieties of medicines in accordance to modern day concepts. These medicines, not only were they targeted at the different tiers of Adventurers in supplying various kinds of medicines, it also targeted the common townsfolk. The various kinds of compounds that he researched and developed were medical products which did not contain any components with an increased spell efficacy. The effects of these medicines were slow acting, but at the same time they were really economical. Additionally, they did not have the obvious expiration period the spell infused medicines had. For ordinary ailments and residents, it was a good fortune.
Eleven days later, Rumont brought out his results from the laboratory.
And on one afternoon, Rumont’s drugstore had then listed a public notice. Announcing various kinds of medicines that were directed at the varying tiers of Adventurers, its pricing, and that it was even cheaper than the ones in the cities by 10 percent.
As for the ones directed at the common residents, Rumont’s drugstore had also launched several types of medicines. These medicines, because their synthesizing method was simple and effective, used inexpensive production materials, as well as employed the addition of Rumont’s special strengthening compound, the final manufactured product was way cheaper than the original medicines that his store was selling. These kind of prices for medicines could make the vast majority of the ordinary townsfolk accept it easily.
As a result, once these new medicines were launched at Rumont’s drugstore, it had immediately received everyone’s welcome. What’s more, the title of a Rank 3 Druid had already enabled the townsfolk to have confidence in it.
When the store was filled with customers, at the time when Nick was busy with transactions, Rumont had already followed a carriage fleet and gone to his territory———to the location christened as the Remnant territory.
Within this month, because there were all kinds of people that came to live at the territory from the town, and furthermore transporting items, a road path could already be seen. The remaining wooden tree stumps could often be seen, as well as the tracks of a wheel having passed by. However, despite all the carriages having been reinforced, the horse carriages still struggled with bumps and jolts. After all, it was a road that was created in the interim.
Rumont followed behind on foot, lightening the burden for the exhausted horses.
“Sire, we’ve arrived.” the driver spoke.
Being called a Sire for the first time, Rumont felt pleased as he looked over. In the far distance he then saw the surrounding enclosure of the territory. This was constructed from solid wood. It looked extremely firm. Almost 3 metres high.
There was even a drawbridge at the gate, there was also what looked to be a guard tower; construction appeared to have already finished.
“Rumont!” at the gate entrance, Merchant Banner, Fafnir and Sukhar had all come out to greet him, additionally swarming Rumont as he entered.
The region within the enclosure was quite large. What he saw first were the 5 wooden houses, one 2-storied house, which also had a granary, stable and barn……especially within the barn, it already had 4 cattle inside eating grass; 2 cows and 2 bulls.
“These are all created in accordance with the standard designs of a feudal land from the city.” Banner point at the buildings and spoke proudly: “they’re all here, which will save a lot of effort in the future!”
Rumont swept over his vision and repeatedly nodded. He was again swarmed to enter one of double storied house, the wooden house emitted the scent of fresh wood.
Rumont, from top to bottom and from inside to out, had issued out sighs of approval.
“This is the downstairs lounge, it can accommodate 20 people for a meal. This is the underground storage room with nothing currently, later on it can store plenty of liquor and provisions. This is a small guest room for future guests to stay at. This is the kitchen……ah, the above is the master bedroom, the bed has been well made, it’s just missing a mattress……”
“This is the conference room, the bookshelves are also done.” pushing open the entrance to the conference room, a long table could then be seen. The area was neat and tidy with 8 wooden chairs. There was also a fireplace made of masonry inside, the walls above had a few cupboards.
“Everyone, have a seat!” Rumont voluntarily went to the head of the table and sat down. Banner, Fafnir and Sukhar also sat down.
“It’s really comfortable, I like it.” Fafnir spoke. He seemed to be happier than Rumont, looking all around in joy; this was their base.
“If there were also a few maids, it’d be perfect.” Banner also spoke with a touch of envy.
Although Banner was the constructor, but this did not belong to him. Although he had money, he couldn’t build such a house for himself.
If it wasn’t of a vocation and he based it solely on the amount of money for this area, Banner would have needed to sell off his house at the city and sell off his entire wealth, just to afford this area. This was naturally a matter he couldn’t do.
Being of a vocation was good. Banner squinted and sized up Rumont. One’s own household also needed to cultivate one of a vocation.
“Maid? It’s still early for that, getting a cook is more proper, the provisions are all here.” Rumont waved his hand back and forth, saying: “having a cook, our inn can then start up.”
“Yeah, there’s already been a few Adventurers that have passed by, willing to stay here and help build. After all, returning to the town in one trip is also one day and night, it wastes a lot of time.” Fafnir slapped his forehead in recalling something: “right, Commander Howard introduced a Mercenary over, used to be part of the squad, name’s Ruse1. He’s currently handicapped, his wife has some skill in cooking.”
“That’s great, we’ll invite him over then!”
“He only has a request, which is that he wishes for autonomy and not as a tenant.” Fafnir spoke. Not a tenant means that he doesn’t need to pay a tax, his later generations wouldn’t need to either. This required the consent of Rumont.
“Then so be it. Look for another 2 families, let’s get 5 families with autonomy!” Rumont dreamily said. With 5 families worth of people, this small territory would then be able to operate.
“If it’s autonomy, I can also introduce two households, a farmer and a carpenter!” Banner spoke.
“That’s good then. Hopefully we’ll be able to finish in these couple of days. Oh, Mister Banner, I’ve synthesized my medicines. One is a Detoxification compound, the other is a pill for treating ailments. I can guarantee that the quality is better than its kind from the city. The pricing is also much cheaper.”
“Oh, is that so, that’s excellent then.” Banner shortly stared with his eyes wide open.
Rumont lowered his head slightly: “regrettably though, there’s a limit to my current Force of Nature, the Mending vulneraries requires my healing spells, the most I can make in a day is 10 medical products. I probably can’t supply it to you, but the Detoxification compound and ailment treating pill are entirely made from herbs. You can be at ease, there’s a sufficient supply.”
“Having this is already great, I believe that we can cooperate even more in the future!” Banner was slightly disappointed, but he still expressed understanding: “currently it’s still early, how about we go have a look inside!”
“Okay, let’s go have a look!”
It was currently the afternoon, there was no small amount of people. Some were workers, some were Adventurers. These people were all under the sunshine, working earnestly.
Because it had already been a month, the originally filthy Shrine could basically no longer be seen. Rumont walked in and discovered that most of the main structure of the Shrine was still there. Even though there were vestiges of decay on the rocks, the truth of the matter was that it was intact on the whole. It could be restored after a touch up.
“Rumont, the greenhouse is down below?” Fafnir asked. At this time, there were already workers that had gone to through the underground passageway, cleaning up the chamber down below. Of course, at the start, the bones and corpses had caused them to jump greatly in fright.
Rumont had already designed a blueprint to use the underground chamber as a greenhouse. It had already begun construction. The blueprint referenced theories from quite a bit of greenhouses from Earth.
“Right, just like that. Excellent.” Rumont went down to have a look and discovered the originally filthy underground chamber, already had a space cleared up. It no longer had bat like animals. The air had cleared up. As for the nurseries, each of it had already been set. They were already compacted with soil, and was just waiting for seeds. His face couldn’t help but have a longing smile.
In the past, he was always envious of the land that belonged to Jeff himself, able to have a true Druidic base of operation that belonged to oneself.
Not only was this an enjoyment, it was also an actual need. Even if he himself possessed the Shennong Horn spatial region, he couldn’t reveal it at all. Therefore, even if he could harvest herbs within his own spatial region 4 times a year, when it came time for selling, he still needed to separate it into batches. Furthermore, he still needed to be careful and prudent in hiding it constantly. This kind of matter truly made him not know what to do.
Currently though, possessing his own herbal garden and possessing his own greenhouse, even if he sold herbs repeatedly, there wouldn’t be anyone to suspect him.
Furthermore, half a year had already passed. The Shennong Horn spatial region was already on the verge of promotion once again. The chances of his Druid Rank being levelled directly from this promotion was not that big, after all, he had just gone up 1 Rank. But in accordance to the previous cases, the spatial region would once again expand by one fold. This would be 10 mu, he could again increase the plants to grow, additionally it could supply even more Nature essence.
Under such a situation, wouldn’t he continue to progress regardless of his Druid Rank?
