Chapter 92 Opening Up Business Opportunities

The arduous practice of spells put a great burden on Joan's mind and body. The mental fatigue can be relieved by meditation and sleep, but the lack of exercise for a long time will seriously damage the health and cause the body to become weaker and weaker. It is easy to be infected with diseases during seasonal changes.

After a week of sleepless nights and forgetting to study spells, Joan lost a full five pounds. His already thin body became even thinner, and could easily be blown down by a gust of wind. His complexion also became morbidly pale due to the long-term lack of light. Past experience tells Joan that if he continues to live like this, he may fall ill. It is necessary to temporarily put down the books and do some labor that relies more on physical strength than the brain. Stages of study build a healthy foundation.

Joan usually takes Jamie to go hunting in the back mountain when he needs to exercise. Now that he sees Lin’s hunting work being led by Gray, it’s not very useful to follow him. Why don’t you try some more technical work, such as Create a magic weapon.

There are too many magic items in the world of Vales to count. When people evaluate the grade of a magic tool, they often use two conventional standards. The first is to look at the highest level of magic used in the manufacture of this magic tool, and the second is to see how much the manufacturing cost of the magic tool is converted into money. The two complement each other. The higher the magic level of the magic tool, It is often more expensive.

According to the above two unwritten standards, magic tools in the world of Vales can be divided into five grades: secondary, intermediate, high-level, legendary, and artifact. The level of spells used by secondary magic tools does not exceed level 3, and the cost is generally not higher than 5,000 gold coins; the level of spells used by intermediate magic tools does not exceed level 6, and the cost is generally not higher than 50,000 gold coins. The level does not exceed 9 rings, and the cost is usually not higher than 500,000 gold coins; legendary magic tools and artifacts are very rare, and they are almost never sold in the magic tool market. Ordinary people have no way of knowing how legendary magic tools and artifacts are made Of course, there is no cost for reference, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "priceless treasure".

Joan is only a level 2 mage, and the available enchanting funds are pitifully small. No matter in terms of spellcasting ability or financial resources, he can only try to manufacture the lowest-level products among the "secondary magic tools". For example, "Human Shield"...

Poverty makes people rational. Qiao An has no spare money and leisure to create works such as "Human Face Shield" that do not consider sales and are purely for self-entertainment. His ideal works must first be practical, and secondly, have commercial value that can be realized quickly .

After careful consideration, Joan finally set his sights on one of the local specialties abound in Delin Town - "fur goods".

...

Two days later, with a letter written in advance, Joan pushed open the door of the leather goods store in Delin town with a feeling of worrying about gains and losses.

There were no other customers in the leather shop in the early morning, and Mr. Longfellow had just finished his breakfast and was whistling and cleaning up. Seeing Joan walk in, he warmly greeted him to sit down and drink tea, and cast a curious look on his face.

Joan guessed that Mr. Longfellow was observing his right eye, which was covered by an eyepatch, and was secretly thinking about how to explain this, but the other party asked him about his fight with the Soul Stealer. After some questions and answers, Joan learned that the owner of the leather shop had already heard about his experience from Aunt Barbara.

The enthusiastic Aunt Barbara has a big mouth that can never be idle. Whenever she hears something new, she can't wait to tell her neighbors. News of a fight with an evil goblin that left him blind in his right eye has spread throughout the town of Derlin.

It's not a pleasant experience to be the talk of other people's gossip. In the past, Joan was famous in the town for his eccentricity, coupled with the sense of mystery brought by the mage profession, he was regarded as an outlier by the townspeople, but now he wears a blindfold, and his image has become commensurate with his personality, becoming a real person in people's eyes. "monster". When walking on the road, people often stop to watch and cast him with sympathy or disgust. When children see him from a distance, they turn their heads away in fright.

Joan doesn't care about people's strange gazes, being regarded as a "monster" brings him more peace, and he doesn't have to waste time on socializing, so he can devote all his energy to studying what he likes. Of course, no one can be absolutely independent from the world. Joan sometimes communicates with people or even asks for help, just like today, he has to go out of his own small world and bite the bullet to visit Mr. Longfellow.

When Longfellow saw Joan coming to the door, he thought he was going to sell prey furs, but when Joan proposed "in-depth cooperation" with him, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise, and asked half-jokingly and half-curiously: "Mr. Mage, what should I do?" Work for you?"

"Mr. Longfellow, I heard you say that washing fur coats and woolen fabrics is a troublesome business?" Joan asked calmly.

"It's true. If fur products are stained with oily sludge, it is difficult to clean them in cold water, and they cannot be soaked in hot water. Not only is it troublesome to clean, but you also need to use detergents such as soap. As far as I know, Yalfheim The region and even the entire New World cannot produce special detergents for cleaning high-grade fur, and they can only be imported from the Far East. A package of imported detergent powder, including tariffs, costs even more than a good leather hat, which ordinary people can afford I can’t afford such an expensive cleaning fee, so there’s a saying in our fur trading circles—if you can afford it, you can’t afford it!” Longfellow smiled wryly, “It’s precisely because high-end fur is inconvenient to clean, only those rich and noble people can clean it.” Willing to buy, there are not many rich men like us in Delin Town, high-end furs are hard to sell, look at the high-end white fox fur cloak in my store, it has been on the shelf for a whole year and can’t be sold, it’s just used as a supplement facade."

"If there is a way to make furs clean automatically, it will definitely help open up the market." Joan said carefully.

"Of course!" Longfellow's eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh, I guessed it! You want to partner with me to open a leather cleaning shop and use magic to clean fur products, right? That's a good idea, how far away are you? capital?"

"It's not a laundry shop. For me, that's too troublesome." Joan took out the envelope from his arms and handed it to the owner of the leather shop. "I wrote down all my ideas, and you'll understand after reading it."

"Huh? Can't we talk face to face? I still have to write a letter. Is it necessary to be so serious..."

The owner of the leather goods store didn't understand Joan's eccentricity, shook his head and complained in a low voice, took out the letter paper and browsed it, the confusion in his eyes was quickly replaced by shock.
