Wizard Immortality

Chapter 20 Invitation | Negotiating Conditions

In the reply letter from the Bell family to Anthony, the manager of the trading market, it has been confirmed that the senior apprentice named Archie is not a wanted criminal by the Black Tower Academy and the Raven Wizarding Society.

but.

They asked and searched in many places.

No one knows where this alchemist named Archie came from or what his identity and background are.

However, the other party is willing to temporarily stay in Jinghu Trading Market.

The most likely possibility is that he traveled here from the outside world.

There is also the possibility that his appearance and voice were changed to conceal his true identity.

Although the family needs to take certain risks in worshipping an alchemist with an unclear identity and background.

But the Bell family is at war with two other wizarding families.

There was an urgent need to replenish the family reserves.

Therefore, the head of the Bell family sternly ordered Anthony to hire the other party at all costs.

It really doesn't work.

Also make sure he doesn't join the other two wizarding families.

After Anthony got the exact answer from his family.

He immediately stood up and began to plan how to win over Vic.

Prepare gifts.

Prepare terms for negotiation.

three days later.

The family knight, Mather, knocked on the door of the lakeside laboratory and said respectfully, "Master Archie, Master Anthony wants to see you."

At this time, Vic was using the Lich's Life Box to extract and learn more apprentice-level potion and alchemy item recipes.

Hearing a sound outside the door.

He guessed that it might be the Bell family who wrote back to Anthony.

"Tell him to wait for me in the living room. I'll be there in an hour."

After refining ten high-quality alchemical rings, Vic did not rest for too long.

He also made himself a ring of inferior quality.

Although the space is half as small as that of high-quality ones, it is low-key and simple. After returning to the college, no one will doubt its use.

It also helps to keep wealth from being exposed.

after all.

Fine quality alchemical rings were rare even in the Black Tower Academy's trading market, and they were expensive, with a single ring often selling for more than ten soul stones.

How could he, an ordinary student, get so much money?

The inferior quality ones are different.

It is sold in places of the size of Jinghu Trading Market. The price ranges from one to two soul stones, and a large part of the goods are stripped from corpses and are of illegal origin.

When Vic and Aaron met before, Aaron was wearing an alchemical ring of inferior quality.

but.

Vic now wears three high-quality rings on his hands, which are more in line with his image as an alchemist with a lot of money and a weird temper.

after an hour.

Anthony saw Vic appear at the stairs leading to the underground laboratory.

He stood up hurriedly and said with a smile, "Master Archie, we haven't seen each other for a while."

One word one talk.

Without making a sound, the original Sir Archie has now become the Master, to show his awe.

Vic knew what Anthony was up to.

He is not a man who likes to waste time.

After sitting down, he didn't keep anyone in suspense. His triangular eyes looked uncertain. He laughed strangely and said, "I have traveled around the world and received offerings from many wizard organizations. Tell me your conditions and I will consider them."

Anthony had originally prepared a long set of speeches.

Unexpectedly, the other party spoke first.

He simply stopped hiding it, sat on the sofa next to Vic, and said, "I've told you about the family situation before."

The words are not finished yet.

Anthony noticed a flash of impatience on Vic's face.

He quickly changed the subject and went straight to the point, "The head of the family has replied. We can give you a commission of 300 soul stones per year.

For the potions and props made in the family, we are responsible for providing the raw materials, and the costs of failure are also ours.

Besides.

You can choose any female member of the family you like."

When Vic heard the conditions offered by the other party, he sat on the sofa as steady as a rock without blinking an eye. For wizards, love is far less attractive than knowledge and wealth.

The Bell family deliberately proposed the last condition, and Vic could see through their thoughts at a glance.

If a woman in the family could develop an intimate relationship with an alchemist, that would of course be the best outcome. Even if not, they would still make a profit by leaving offspring.

The genes of an excellent alchemist are not available everywhere.

Anthony saw that the other party did not respond.

Then he said, "If you are not satisfied, we can discuss the commission. The family's bottom line is 500 soul stones per year.

We can also open part of the library to you so you can learn more.”

Vic still didn't reply.

Having lived two lives, he knows how being supported by a family is treated.

These are the conditions offered by the Bell family.

not enough.

Anthony didn't get a response from Vic, so he clenched his fists slightly. He was angry but didn't dare to show it.

after all.

This kind of treatment, where you have to lower your head and please others' faces when asking them to do something for you, is very unpleasant.

He is the manager of Jinghu Trading Market.

Normally, others would ask him for help and look at his face.

When has he ever asked anyone for help?

Anthony gritted his teeth and said expressionlessly, "Master Archie, why don't you name a price? I'm here to listen."

The negotiation process.

Knight Mather stood by throughout the process.

Every one of these conditions is wealth that he cannot earn even if he works hard for his entire life.

Although he is a member of the Bell family, he still envy Vic a little.

This is the benefit of knowledge and strength.

If only he could become an alchemist too.

Wealth, status, women.

At your fingertips.

Vic picked up the wormwood tea, took a sip, and said methodically, “Six hundred soul stones per year, and one third of the knowledge in the library will be opened.

And I don't get involved in the fight between you and other forces.

After completing the production amount, the excess materials and props will belong to me.

No bargaining.”

The conditions Vic offered were extremely sophisticated.

It is neither too much nor too little, just close to the limit of what a wizard family can afford.

If he had not served in other wizarding organizations, he would not have known this so clearly.

Originally, Anthony still wanted to test the waters, bargain, and help the family gain some benefits.

After listening to Vic's conditions.

Anthony's heart was bleeding.

I cursed wildly in my heart.

These alchemists are simply cannibals!
Every soul stone and material of the family had to be accumulated bit by bit with the whole family's efforts.

This alchemist named Archie is quite good.

With just a few words, all the family’s hard-earned savings went into his pocket!

But he didn't dare to have an attack.

I can only endure it.

Moreover, the situation is stronger than people now. The family’s finished product reserves are almost exhausted, and it is unrealistic to ask the alchemists of the Black Tower Academy to make them for them.

So Vic was their only choice.

Anthony took a deep breath and tried to look calm so as not to anger the other party.

He stood up and said, "I agree to your terms on behalf of my family. This is the gift the person in charge asked me to give you."

Talking.

He pulled out an alchemical ring of inferior quality and handed it to Vic.

Vic took it and glanced at it briefly.

There are fifty soul stones neatly arranged inside.

Anthony seemed a little impatient, and then asked, "Master Archie, should we set out today, or..."
