Age of Mysticism

Chapter 33 Investing in Black Potion (for further reading)

The moment Luke revealed his identity, the momentum of the four blockers all faltered.

They are just a black potion workshop, and they are incapable of fighting against the tiger-like Imperial Bureau of Secret Affairs.

The old man hurriedly saluted Luke: "Hello, Detective Meteorite. I am Ralph, and these three are my sons.

I know that we violate the laws of the Empire by illegally manufacturing potions, and we accept the punishment. "

Ralph's words of punishment were very skillful. It seems that they are frequently visited by the Secret Intelligence Bureau, and people from the Public Security Bureau may also come here often.

As long as the fine is paid, the black potion will be produced as usual.

But Ralph didn't expect that this time it was the inspector of the Bureau of Secret Affairs who came to the door in person, and he didn't know how much money would be needed to send him away.

Thinking of this, Ralph's expression became very bad.

It seems that this time not only the flesh must be cut, but the blood must also be let out!

Luke smiled and said, "Old Ralph, I'm not here to fine you, I'm here to discuss business with you."

Talk about business? !

Ralph wondered.

I am a black potion workshop that mainly deals in boosters.

What kind of business can you negotiate with me, the inspector of the Imperial Bureau of Secrets?

"Master Inspector, don't joke with me."

"I have nothing to joke with you. This is not a place to discuss business. Find a place to talk."

Ralph didn't know what the Secret Service inspector wanted to do, so he could only invite him to his office.

And pharmacy dispensing room.

On the test bench, curved glass conduits connect different vessels, and some green liquid is boiling in a hemispherical glass pot.

Ralph who came in first took away the oil lamp under the glass pot, asked his son to bring a chair, and then they all drove out.

"My lord inspector... those of us black potion businessmen seem to make money, but the profit is actually very thin.

Purchasing raw materials, hiring labor, transportation, and all other aspects of management, the money that can reach us is really not much.

If we really made money, we wouldn't still be living in Black Medicine Lane.

My lord, please sit down, please sit down..."

Luke didn't sit down, but walked around the small pharmacy mixing room to look at the instruments here.

"Old Ralph, other potion workshops probably don't have such professional potion mixing equipment as you."

Talking about these equipments, Ralph couldn't help but proudly said: "My lord, most of the potion workshops here make potions according to the existing recipes. Safety is safety, but there is no competitiveness.

I just like to make some adjustments to the potion formula to make the effect of the potion more violent.

We make improved adjuvants, which are in high demand in wealthy areas. "

"But... people died."

Ralph immediately denied: "No, no, no, the deceased master didn't drink the potion we made. Before the formula was determined, I personally tried to drink the potion we made.

If you want to die, I will die first. "

"You try it yourself?" Luke looked at Ralph, who was almost too old to walk, and expressed his disbelief.

"If the Inspector doesn't believe me, I'll drink a bottle right now."

"No, no..." Luke stopped Ralph.

If there really was a master in the wealthy district who died of drinking black potion, someone would have come to him long ago.

The rumor was likely concocted by peer jealousy.

It may also be that the death of the master satisfied many people, and those who benefited were unwilling to make extra troubles.

But whatever the truth is, it has nothing to do with what Luke is here for.

Luke sat down, and Karina stood behind her, still holding the magic wand.

"Please sit down..." Luke asked Ralph to sit down, and then said, "I want to invest in your potion workshop."

ah!

Ralph was greatly surprised: "Master Inspector, I heard you right. You want to invest in my potion workshop?"

Luke said: "You heard me right, and you don't need to ask for the specific reason. You use your potion workshop as a stake, and the profit...You two, I eight.

What I can offer you is shelter and outlets. Potions produced here in the future can be obtained from the Cape District Secret Affairs Bureau's special item approval slip, and they will leave the port under the escort of imperial spies and be sold all over the world. "

Luke's words immediately made Ralph excited.

A special item approval slip from the Bureau of Secret Intelligence is enough to make Ralph's family flourish, not to mention that the Bureau of Secret Intelligence also took the initiative to send someone to escort them.

This is the kind where the imperial spies of the empire forcefully stuff gold bars into your arms.

But Ralph still asked in disbelief, "Master Inspector, is it okay to do this? We are a black potion workshop and it is illegal..."

"I'm here to make you legal. With Haijiao District Secret Information Bureau and I on top, you have nothing to be afraid of.

Do it or not, give me a quasi-word. If you are afraid of taking risks, I can go for another one. "

"Dry!"

That's right...the detective of the Bureau of Secret Affairs is leading the black potion, so I have nothing to be afraid of!

"Happy!" Luke pointed to the green potion that Ralph had just taken aside, and asked, "This is the main booster you play here, right?"

"Yes..." Ralph hurriedly brought the reagent bottle over, and said proudly, "This kind of booster has a quick effect and strong medicine, and it doesn't burden the body too much. Its effect crushes all similar products on the market.

The old men in the rich district like it, if it can be promoted to the world... it is guaranteed to make a lot of money! "

Luke took the reagent bottle and shook it in front of his face before handing it to Ralph.

"According to your previous recipe, use the ingredients I told you to make another potion. Subtract 10 grams of plantain powder, increase 5 grams of whale blubber, add 8 grams of fire cotton seeds to the slime liquid before stirring, and put it on the fire Bake into a pudding state.

After the original medicine is prepared, heat it on the fire until the color turns...my secretary's eyes blue, and put it in a freezer with a constant temperature of minus 5 degrees for half an hour. "

Ralph was surprised and asked: "Master Inspector, do you know my formula? Impossible, only I know the formula of this potion, not even my son!"

Luke said mysteriously: "You don't need to worry about where I got the formula, just make a bottle of potion as I said, and then evaluate its efficacy?"

Ralph didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately made the potion on the spot according to the steps and improvement methods of the fun potion.

Karina reminded Luke carefully in a low voice: "Inspector, as a senior public official of the empire, you are personally involved in the production, transportation, and trading of illegal pharmaceuticals...

Once, once exposed, it will definitely affect your work history. "

Luke said to Kailina: "You should know that I come to the Cape District Secret Information Bureau to shoulder a heavy responsibility, and everything I do is to complete the tasks assigned to me by His Royal Highness.

I brought you here because I trust you. "

Karina suddenly realized.

The inspector has been taken care of by the eldest princess since he took office, so what he did must be meaningful.

As the Inspector's confidential secretary, I just need to consider how to assist the Inspector.
