Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 151: Chapter 116: Amy’s Time to Shine

At the base entrance.

The neighing of horses and the shouts of people were incessant.

A group of guild members were unloading boxes of cargo from the carts, sweating profusely from the effort.

The manager nearby was still shouting loudly, “Be careful, move gently, these are all valuable items. If you break them, your monthly salary won’t even cover it!”

Among the crowd were more than a dozen individuals exceptionally burly and robust, with abundant body hair and distinct beast-like features. Each carried a heavy box with ease, looking completely relaxed.

Not far away, Mu Zhuo observed and nodded silently.

It seems that taking in these Beastmen was a wise decision; they can serve as both guards and laborers. They are hardworking and uncomplaining, effectively providing the labor of two or three people for the price of one salary, which is quite cost-effective.

After the Beastman calamity, Beastmen could no longer stay in the Starry Nation and were shunned and driven away wherever they went.

Hence, Beastmen began to migrate to neighboring countries.

A considerable number of Beastmen poured into the Thorn Flower Duchy.

Because of Ota’s plea, Mu Zhuo decided to take in a group of Beastmen, which initially caused quite a stir within the guild, but now it seems like it wasn’t a wrong decision.

As Mu Zhuo was pondering, a rumbling sound suddenly came to his ears.

The base gates slowly opened, and towering Clay Golems emerged from inside.

Each one carried multiple stacked boxes that looked exceptionally heavy.

Approaching the merchant team, the Clay Golems gently placed the boxes on the ground, yet they still made a dull thud, causing the surrounding guild members to secretly marvel.

“These big guys are incredibly strong!”

“Those boxes must weigh at least a ton!”

“I heard they are called Golems.”

“Truly amazing!”

The guild members whispered among themselves, pointing at the Clay Golems.

Especially those newcomers who saw a Clay Golem for the first time, they widened their eyes in curiosity.

“Lord Sherman.”

Mu Zhuo caught a glimpse of a figure walking out from the base, and his eyes lit up as he went to greet him.

Compared to the youthful appearance from a few years ago when they first met, now Sherman exuded a composed and steady demeanor, commanding respect.

“Long time no see, Chairman Mu Zhuo.”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Sherman pointed at the boxes stacked on the ground not far away and said with a smile:

“These are the metals for the transaction this time, all smelted into ingots. Have your people count them, and if everything checks out, we’ll settle at the previously agreed price.”

After successfully developing the ore veins around Ghost Lake City, the Foxfire Guild’s trade with Sunan expanded from potions to also include metal trades.

After all, with five ore veins (including the silver ore vein in the cave) and the high mining efficiency of the Clay Golems, the monthly production of iron, copper, gold, and silver was astonishingly high. Flashing Territory alone couldn’t consume it all, and most of it had to be sold externally.

Mu Zhuo acknowledged this, turned to instruct the manager to take inventory of the goods, and then looked back at Sherman, carefully saying, “Lord Sherman, I received a letter from Lord Sunan earlier, mentioning an increase in the potion trade quantity. About this matter…”

“The teacher has already informed me about it.”

Sherman smiled slightly.

“Starting today, the base will increase the potion supply to twice the previous amount. Can the Foxfire Guild handle it?”

“Of course, no problem!” Mu Zhuo replied resolutely.

Joking aside, even if we can’t handle it, we’ll make it work.

Ever since opening the potion trade route, the Foxfire Guild’s profits have soared significantly.

The potions sold from the base are extremely popular in the Thorn Flower Duchy and are in short supply.

With the Foxfire Guild monopolizing this business, they naturally made a fortune.

In such a situation, Mu Zhuo certainly wouldn’t allow others to take a share of the pie.

Even if the guild couldn’t consume twice the amount of potions, they could develop agents and transfer part of the potions to agents for sale, from which the guild would extract profit, still earning handsomely.

Anyone with even a bit of sense would know what to do.

“That’s good, as finding another trustworthy business partner is quite troublesome after all,” Sherman smiled.

“Rest assured, Lord Sherman, no matter how much more comes, the Foxfire Guild can handle it all!”

Mu Zhuo patted his chest in reassurance and then cautiously added:

“A few days ago, I replied to Lord Sunan’s letter, mentioning the matter of代理的巫师药剂 (the proxying of Wizard potions), and I wonder what Lord Sunan said?”

The Wizard potions Mu Zhuo referred to were naturally not the previously diluted potions but the real Wizard potions.

Those diluted potions were treasures for ordinary Knights, but less effective for Grand Knights.

Only the undiluted real Wizard potions could attract the interest of Grand Knights, turning this group into clients and expanding profits.

Sherman smiled and said, “The teacher said we can agree to Chairman Mu Zhuo’s request and provide a certain amount of zeroth-level potions to the Foxfire Guild each month, but there are two conditions.”

Mu Zhuo’s spirits lifted, and he quickly said, “Do tell!”

“The first condition is that the zeroth-level potions provided to the Foxfire Guild must not flow into the Starry Nation. If any of our potions are found in the Starry Nation, for any reason, the代理 (proxy) of zeroth-level potions will be terminated immediately.”

Mu Zhuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “No problem!”

As the president of a large guild with connections across many countries, he had always been keeping an eye on the situations in various countries.

He also understood the delicate relationship between Flashing Territory and the Starry royal family.
