A lamp, a cup of tea, and a book.

Oscar, wearing a simple white robe, sat leisurely on a rattan chair, holding an old book to read, and occasionally picked up a pen to write.

The teapot was beside him, with mist curling and fragrance spreading. The noise was isolated, creating a quiet and gloomy atmosphere.

There was a soundproof array in the house, so the noise from the outside could not be heard.

A mercenary walked to the front of the study.

"The adventurer is back!"

Oscar stood up and said, "What are the results of the investigation?"

The mercenary handed over a scroll, "The situation is written on it!"

Oscar opened the scroll and glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done, give them some money and reward them well!"

"Yes!"

The mercenary left.

After the threat of the wolf cavalry was resolved, Oscar stayed in the town for a few days because he learned about the monsters, and spent a lot of money to hire adventurers to investigate.

Now the results of the investigation are out, and it is basically confirmed that monsters have appeared. Just based on the information in hand, it is not possible to determine the type for the time being.

The demon cave, you have to go there in person!

Oscar bought a lot of books about demons, including records, notes, legends, etc. of demons from various places. After a lot of reading, Oscar found that most of the demons that have appeared now have never been seen.

This is because 15,000 years later, the human race and demons experienced a long struggle, and the demons were basically extinct.

At that time, only some special breeding farms artificially bred some improved demons. They were all extracted and cloned from ancient demon fossils. After being improved, they lost the nature of the demon race and became like livestock. They were just tools for synthesizing crystals.

It is different now. It is a time of disaster and demons are everywhere. They cause great harm to the continent.

There are some particularly strong high-level demons who disguise themselves as humans or other races and infiltrate the upper echelons of the race.

At the same time, some demons also created cults, began to recruit believers, cultivated evil forces, and caused countless demons to suffer disasters.

Oscar is a magic fanatic. If there are real demons, he would certainly want to catch some for research.

This material is almost extinct in the future!

In addition, demon crystals are the best soul fire materials. Level 2 demon crystals can ignite soul fire. If there are level 3 demon crystals, the corpse witch is refined, and its magic power is not even inferior to that of Liu Rufeng when he was alive!

The demons are greedy and cruel by nature, and have special abilities and powers. They are not something that ordinary people can deal with.

Therefore, Oscar must prepare well!

A week ago, Oscar completed the construction of the 11th ring magic vortex, allowing him to completely get rid of his apprentice status and become a magician with 11th ring magic. Oscar is now a real magician.

The difference of 1 ring is a world of difference!

Oscar is going to the demon cave again to increase his magic power a little more, so that he can have enough safety protection when dealing with special situations.

It was dusk.

The townspeople dispersed.

The Snow City envoy and the mayor Wei Nan all left.

Meng Hu, with his fierce mercenaries, stopped the merchants or sorcerers who tried to come forward and shouted loudly: "Oscar the sorcerer is practicing and will not see guests now! Go, don't disturb him!"

Dozens of merchants or Oscar's admirers refused to leave.

"Are you done yet!"

"I said I won't see guests! Go!"

Meng Hu roared.

The crowd immediately quieted down.

This nearly 2-meter-tall giant had a strong body like a bear, dark skin, a face full of flesh and scars, and the only thing missing was the words "I am a villain" written on his face.

Everyone left dejectedly.

Meng Hu was unable to breathe a sigh of relief. Eight cavalrymen squeezed out of the crowd, and a stunning girl in white appeared in the middle. The crowd suddenly became quiet, and countless eyes were all focused on the beautiful woman's expression.

That kind of extraordinary and otherworldly temperament made people think she was a fairy descending to the earth.

"Hello." Nalan Yankongmo's clear voice made it hard to refuse: "My name is Nalan Yan, and I'm Oscar's friend!"

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

Meng Hu has been traveling around for five or six years and has a lot of experience and knowledge. This person was born rich or noble, and his origin is definitely not simple. He thought about it and refused flatly: "Oscar said he doesn't see guests! No!"

"You are so unreasonable!" The maid Xiaoxue was very unhappy, and stood up with her hands on her waist and shouted: "Do you know who the lady is? I'll scare you to death!"

"Don't give me that! I was scared!" Meng Hu is a typical stubborn person. What if he is a beautiful woman or a noble family? He insisted: "No means no! Go away!"

Nalan Yan's eyes flashed a trace of sadness, revealing a deep disappointment.

"Xiaoxue, forget it. Come visit again tomorrow!"

Xiaoxue was unwilling: "We have waited for so long, how can we..."

"Isn't this the sister from last time?" Alice passed by the door and saw Nalan Yan, and immediately said to Meng Hu: "Brother Hu, this sister is not an outsider, let her in."

Alice has spoken.

Meng Hu no longer blocked her.

"Come with me!" Alice enthusiastically led the two into the living room, "I'll make tea for you!"

"When can we meet Oscar Warlock?"

"The young master is practicing, I can't disturb him, do you have anything to do?"

Nalan Yan repeated her purpose.

"I want to help my sister." Alice scratched her head and said: "But, I can't make a decision on this kind of thing... Wait a minute, I'll go find Sister Qin!"

After about a few minutes, Alice brought Qin Yue to the living room.

Qin Yue wore a red robe, high leather boots, and her hair was tied up. She had a fiery temperament, and wore black-framed glasses, which added a touch of dignity and intelligence.

She was tall, graceful, plump but slender, charming, but pretending to be serious. She was meticulous in combing and dressing, which was quite charming.

Beautiful women always like to compare.

Both of them couldn't help but look at each other more. Alice and Xue'er were amazed. One was dignified, intellectual, charming and mature, and was a rare beauty.

The other was otherworldly, elegant, like a fairy high above. Each had its own merits and was not inferior to the other.

"Miss Qin, I'm Nalan Yan!"

"Who in the Northern Federation doesn't know the name of the Nalan family? It's well-known!"

A trace of loneliness flashed across Nalan Yan's eyebrows, but Qin Yue was sensitive to it.

Qin Yue was born in a merchant family and had seen too many merchants since she was a child.

Nalan Yan is the most unlike-businessman businessman. She has a unique air of magic, as pure and flawless as crystal, without any smell of money.

This is more reliable than profit-seeking profiteers. Nalan Yan is only seventeen or eighteen years old. At such a young age, she got rid of the protection of her family and ran to a remote city to make a living. It is really not simple.

Is there any hidden secret?

The first impression is good!

Qin Yue thinks that Nalan Yan is a good partner.

Nalan Yan told her purpose and then asked, "Does Yunyue Studio have new formulas and inventions?"

"Alice and I have studied with Oscar for more than a month and have indeed learned a lot of formulas. I won't hide it from you. In fact, Oscar has a lot of such formulas. I know him very well. He doesn't take it to heart and has never thought about operating it. Even if we don't go through him, we can still sell it to you."

Nalan Yan's expression was stunned and said, "Really?"

Oscar is really a strange person. He doesn't care about the formula that is worth a thousand gold and extremely precious, representing wealth and honor?

The Nalan family is a behemoth. Xueyan Group is under the banner of the Nalan family. It is not afraid of being peeped by scoundrels. It has great potential. Qin Yue is willing to cooperate with it. She asked: "What business are you good at? How many resources and factories do you have? How is the production technology?"

Nalan Yan's Xueyan Group is actually an empty shell, with only a short-term product, Mingsixiang, to support the scene.

There is no way around it.

Nalan Yan has no money to invest or research and development, only a few factories, and a relatively single sales ability. Although there is Mingsixiang to open up the market, it is only sold in Baicheng. Other cities recruit agents, which is a method of killing the chicken to get the eggs, to earn short-term profits.

As for the technology?

That's even weaker. Xueyan Group was established very recently, did not recruit a team of warlocks, and basically did not have the ability to produce medicines.

Qin Yue was very confused

Is she really the daughter of the Nalan family?

A trace of helplessness and melancholy flashed in Nalan Yan's eyes.

"Let me think about it!"

Qin Yue knew that Nalan Yan had helped Oscar and Alice before, and wanted to cooperate with him. Unfortunately, Xueyan Chamber of Commerce was too weak, and the Meditation Incense was not a technically demanding thing, so it was of course feasible.

If you make medicines, pills, talismans and other industries with high technical requirements, it would be difficult.

For example, potion production.

Pharmacist resources have always been very scarce. Even if you spend a lot of money to dig them from other chambers of commerce, they are not necessarily reliable. Pharmacists with bad reputations will secretly steal the formula, resulting in the leakage of secrets, thus affecting the interests of the chamber of commerce.

If you cultivate from scratch, it will not be completed overnight.

Now even if you sell a good formula to the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce, it cannot play its due value.

Qin Yue said to Alice who was sitting next to her: "Little Alice, do you want to publish a book?"

Alice was stunned for a moment: "What book?"

Qin Yue smiled and said: "You are a junior apprentice with 1st ring magic power. You have entered the circle of warlocks and should make some contributions to the development of magic.

Oscar taught you the basic knowledge that many apprentices dream of.

We will cooperate with the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce to set up a printing factory, organize the experience and notes and publish them. Maybe there will be good results?"

Alice was born with a kind heart. She didn't care about reputation. She asked in a low voice: "Can it make money?"

"You are really a real money-grubber!" Qin Yue said with a smile: "If the sales are high, you can make money naturally."

Alice's bright eyes lit up, "It can help poor warlocks and make money to help the young master, so why not do it!"

Nalan Yan understood Qin Yue's thoughts: "You want to do publishing education?"

"Publishing books is not as lucrative as potions and spells, but it is a good way to accumulate prestige and earn reputation. Xueyan Chamber of Commerce can take this opportunity to recruit more potential warlocks and train them to become contracted pharmacists of Xueyan Group."

Speaking of this, Qin Yue said: "In addition, I have a formula to sell you."

"What formula?"

"This is the refining formula of [Magic Flower Potion], something that can cause a sensation!" Qin Yue pushed his glasses and showed a smile of despair.

"Oscar gave me the formula completely, so I can completely control it in my own name without going through him."

After learning about the effect of [Magic Flower Potion], Nalan Yan immediately screamed, her eyes widened, almost unbelievable, and a surge of ecstasy rushed to her heart.

Too powerful!

Without any side effects, it instantly increases the mana of the apprentice-level warlock by 1-3 rings!

Its value is unimaginable.

The most critical material of the [Magic Flower Potion] requires Level 1 beast crystals, which is destined to be a potion that cannot be mass-produced. It can only go the boutique route, with small quantities and large profits, which just fits the problem of limited productivity of the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce.

However, Nalan Yan began to worry.

Such a potion that is enough to cause a sensation in the warlock world, does the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce have the capital to take it down?

"I don't deserve a penny for this, I want 15% ownership of the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce."

Nalan Yan thought for a while. It is still unknown whether the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce can do it. If Qin Yue can be brought into the partnership, it is equivalent to forming an alliance with Yunyue Studio, which is very powerful for the future development of the Chamber of Commerce.

A formula for 15% ownership is a bit too much.

But the [Magic Flower Potion] does have this qualification!

"Okay!"

Nalan Yan agreed without thinking much.
