MTL - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 139 True Alchemy

  Chapter 139 "True Alchemy"

  …

  Matthew handed in his homework honestly.

  Margaret scanned a few lines, her eyebrows trembling suddenly.

   But see Matthew writes—

  …

  「Making money is never easy, and the fastest way is always to make money.

  My money is tight and I don't have so many gold coins.

  But I have a lot of knowledge points, and I can use this to make a fuss.

  I asked David and other alliance staff that the ratio of knowledge points to gold coins in terms of fair value is about 1 point to 10,000 gold.

   It is strictly forbidden within the alliance to directly convert knowledge points into gold coins.

  But I can at least monetize a large amount of knowledge points in the following three ways:

  The first type, mortgage loan.

  The alliance expressly stipulates that knowledge points cannot be used for sale, but they can be used as collateral to borrow a large amount of funds from the alliance, major mage towers or senior mages.

  According to David, knowledge points can lend a large sum of money, and the annualized interest is usually around 6 points.

  I can take advantage of the interest rate difference by lending a large amount of gold coins and lending them to others.

  Of course, this method has a certain risk of default, and a stricter implementation strategy needs to be formulated.

   The second type is item washing.

  Knowledge points cannot be directly exchanged for gold coins, but there are always some mages in the alliance who have more gold coins but not enough points.

  I can open an empty shell project and recruit these mages into the project. After the project is completed, I can donate my own points to them by distributing project rewards.

  They can also circulate a sufficient amount of gold coins to my hands through gifts or other means.

   This method should be the safest.

  If the shell project is against the rules, at worst I can open a real project, at most it will take more effort.

The disadvantage of point laundering through projects is that it cannot be implemented on a large scale, and can only be done one vote at a time. Not to mention the limited efficiency, if a large amount of points flow out in a short period of time, it will inevitably cause a big gap in the existing points. Big shock.

   At that time, the number of gold coins that can be exchanged for knowledge points from mages will definitely decline.

  Of course, these are things for later.

   The third type is investment.

   In a word, use knowledge points to invest in certain spell projects, and reap dividends and rewards in the form of gold coins.

  The space is limited, so I won’t explain it here.

  —Matthew's Classwork"

  …

   "This is how you make money?"

   Margaret asked incredulously:

   "This is clearly your exclusive way to make money!"

  Matthew innocently replied:

   "You didn't say that you want everyone to make money."

  Margaret looked very angry.

   Yimapingchuan's chest is just full of angry mountains.

   But she quickly asked:

   "Where did you get so many knowledge points?"

   Matthew replied:

   "Given by the teacher."

  Margaret suddenly showed envy:

   "Teacher Ni is really kind."

  Matthew asked rhetorically:

   "Didn't your teacher give it?"

   Margaret sighed:

   "Yes, but I spend it very quickly. You know, I'm a spell nerd, and I have learned the Alliance spell library completely."

   "Master Suriel is actually very generous, but 100 knowledge points is really not very expensive."

  Matthew's expression became subtle.

   Margaret noticed this:

   "Your knowledge points exceed 100? How much did your teacher give you? It won't be 200?"

  She stared at Matthew impatiently.

  In order to avoid further irritating her, it must not be too far from the truth.

  Matthew had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer:

   "1000 points."

   Margaret suddenly stopped talking.

  She stared at Matthew with a very ambiguous gaze. After a while, she forcibly leaned on Matthew's shoulder and tore off the shoulder strap of the silk jacket, revealing a large piece of white skin.

   "Do you still lack a mistress?"

   "How about taking care of me?"

  Margaret is trying very hard to play the wink.

  But when I think of the chest, this is a ruthless character who can get into the **** and blow up the enemy.

  Matthew immediately woke up.

   "Ms. Margaret, isn't this great? We're still in the classroom."

  Margaret said with burning eyes:

   "It's get out of class time."

   "Really, what do you think of my conditions? I can give you a discount because you have taken my class."

   Matthew was dizzy by her, so he could only try to change the subject:

   "Eh, why is it a mistress?"

  Margaret took half a step back when she heard the words, and she looked at Matthew with great interest:

   "A mistress is safer, and it is also a win-win way. You pay and I pay, and the rights and responsibilities are very fair."

   "If you want to get married, it is not impossible, but the league rules do not allow domestic violence."

  Matthew said strangely:

   "Are you also afraid of domestic violence?"

  Margaret nodded:

"certainly."

   “I’m always afraid that I’m going too hard.”

  Matthew was silent.

   "Really don't think about it?"

  She looked at Matthew anxiously.

   "Are you short of money?"

  Matthew asked curiously.

  Margaret nodded vigorously:

   "Lack! Very lack!"

   "Remember what I told you, my legendary path was blocked by money? Because of an experiment, I owed my teacher and my best friend a whole lot of debt."

"This experiment is related to whether I can be promoted to a legend. There is still a little funding gap in it. Even if you don't want to support me, you can invest a little bit. If I succeed, you will be able to gain the friendship of a legendary mage. !"

   Matthew asks:

   "What experiment?"

   "About the development of "True Alchemy"! "

  Margaret introduced with bright eyes:

"You already know Fei Capital's series of spells, and you also know that my signature is True Transformation. This experiment is to combine these two fields. I want to turn ordinary substances into gold to maintain Fei Capital. The huge consumption of capital series spells!"

   Sounds like a really good idea.

  If Matthew had spare money in his hand, after Margaret's repeated requests, he might really soften his heart and agree to invest.

  However, he is really a poor ghost now.

finally.

  He could only look at Margaret with helpless eyes, and then explained seriously:

   "Sorry, I'm just a little mage who just joined the alliance, and I really don't have any gold coins."

   "As for the knowledge points, they were all given by my teacher. I'm not sure whether these knowledge points have limited uses. At present, my way of making money is only on paper and has not been converted into actual gold coins."

  Margaret stared at him with wide eyes:

   "So you admit that you are fooling me with your homework?"

   "Do you want to punish?"

   "Kneel down!"

   Matthew rolled his eyes and said in a timely manner:

   "But now it's get out of class time."

  …

  It's too early to leave the Crucible House today. Matthew thought about it and decided to go to the Lord's Mansion to fish for a while.

   Walking into the office hall, as expected, Lorraine and Zeller were still arguing.

  These two are not low in negotiating skills. The two sides come and go, not giving in to each other. They have been talking for more than ten hours. It seems that it is still difficult to negotiate any results in the short term.

  Matthew and Rhaegar exchanged a round of glances.

  The latter said to Matthew:

   "The news came from Hongtu Mountain this morning that they want to form an alliance with us, and the negotiation venue has been set at Barley City in the golden fertile field."

  Matthew sneered when he heard this:

   "Isn't the golden fertile field their territory?"

  Rega nodded:

   "That's exactly the case, so in my reply to them, I strongly requested that the negotiation venue be West Valley Farm, which is not far from the South Trading Station."

  Matthew asked seriously:

   "Are you going to ally with them?"

  Rega shook his head:

   "Of course not, they obviously don't really want to form an alliance with us. This negotiation is just a mutual test."

  Matthew thought about it:

"Do you need my help?"

  Rega joked:

   "Will this bother you too much? I heard that it is not easy to be an illegitimate child of a big man, and the pressure is usually very high."

  Matthew gave him a blank look.

  At this time, Zeller and Lorraine stopped at the same time, and Mrs. Wesley handed them a cup of tea. It was not difficult to see from the empty cups beside them that they had been fighting for a long time early in the morning.

  Matthew smiled and asked them:

   "Is there any progress in the negotiations between the two?"

   Zeller took a sip of **** water and cleared his throat:

   "On the premise of equality and respect, we have fully exchanged mutual opinions."

  Matthew said with some regret:

   "So nothing was agreed upon?"

   Zeller also said helplessly:

   "Your friend is asking for money."

  Lorland immediately raised his hands when he heard the words:

  …

   "It's not that I'm asking for prices, all the prices were given to me by Aliena herself.

  Her request is like this, there are only two ways to achieve cooperation between the two parties.

   One is to send out an army from Rolling Stone Town, with no less than 30 elites.

   This elite team must go to Deep Blue Harbor in the shortest possible time and stay there permanently in the future.

   Aliena asked for command of this force.

   As a gift in return.

   She will marry Judy to Rhaegar.

  A brand new trade route will also be opened up between Deep Blue Port and Rolling Stone Town. She promises that if the caravans in Rolling Stone Town ship through the cargo terminal of Deep Blue Port, all taxes and fees will be exempted.

   In addition, there are many preferential policies, I can't remember them, but those are the details.

  The second way of cooperation is that you directly dispatch an army to quell the rebellion in Deep Blue Harbor for her, and resist the invasion of Lion City by the way.

  In return, she will marry Rega herself, and share half of the ownership and usufruct rights of Deep Blue Harbor with Rega.

  At the time of introduction, Rolling Stone Town and Deep Blue Harbor became one, and they became a family.

  But for Matthew's sake, I can give you more details.

  Alena is not just negotiating with Rolling Stone Town, she is also negotiating with another big noble in the Azure Islands and Lion City.

  Rolling Stone Town is her more optimistic partner, but she doesn't intend to place all her hopes on you.

   If you guys procrastinate any longer, I'm afraid she's in someone else's bed by now. "

  …

   Zeller and Rhaegar exchanged glances.

  The latter said calmly:

   "If that's the case, Rolling Stone Town will give a small gift to Santo Alena's wedding ceremony."

  The meaning of this sentence could not be more obvious.

  The cooperation method proposed by Ms. Aliena was unacceptable to Rhaegar. After a few days of deliberation, he basically planned to reject the other party.

   This is undoubtedly a correct decision.

   Matthew was very pleased.

   Although Lei Jia usually looks unreliable, but at critical moments, his mind is still very clear.

  Lorland obviously understood.

  He showed a relieved smile:

   "Since that's the case, I'll let Judy play for two more days before throwing her back to Deep Blue Harbor."

   "My mission is successfully completed!"

   "Now, for Matthew's sake, we're a family—do you want a family hug?"

  Zeller sorted out the documents on his own, without saying a word.

  Rega silently raised the Alliance Weekly and read it intently.

  Only Matthew smiled at Lorraine.

  However, the distance between the two is relatively far, and it is not convenient to hug.

  Lorland didn't care, he sat lazily on the sofa, and comfortably put his legs on the table in front of Zeller.

  The latter raised his eyebrows, but remained silent.

   "Any interesting news?"

   Lorraine asked Rhaegar.

  Rega hated being disturbed while reading the newspaper, but out of politeness, he still replied in a muffled voice:

"I just saw an interesting piece of news. A group of jackals attacked the army camp in Lion City. The gang of jackals were old, weak, sick, vulnerable, and there were less than twenty of them. The downsizing of Lion City's army, guess what's going on?"

   Lorraine answered casually:

"I guess a soldier got drunk and mistook the wolf man for a goblin bear, and then he forced his way to the base regardless of the other party's wishes, and finally broke his waist because of the violent behavior after drunk, and was turned back by the wolf man who was filled with shame and anger. killed."

  Rega frowned:

   "How do you know? And it's exactly the same as the content of the news. I didn't get it wrong. This is the weekly league magazine that just arrived today."

   As he spoke, he deliberately flipped through the front page to confirm the date.

   Lorraine smiled slightly:

   "Any more news?"

  Rega glanced at it for a while, and pondered:

   "There is an interesting fundraising information, specifically, a senior mage of the Seven Saints Alliance is raising funds for her experimental project, and the goal is 100,000 gold coins.

  The mage claimed that she would like to share the results of her spell research with investors after the event was completed.

   Guess what she's researching? "

  Rega's voice did not finish.

  Lorland has already answered fluently:

   "That must be "True Alchemy"! "

   "I also know some historical information about this mage. In her last round of experiments, she used real alchemy to successfully refine a pile of sand into gold worth 100,000 gold coins."

   Real Alchemy?

   Isn’t that Margaret! ?

  Matthew asked with interest:

   "Then isn't she very successful? Why does she seem to be short of investment from what you described?"

   This time, without waiting for Lorraine to answer, Rhaegar had already thrown out the burden first:

   "Because she spent a total of one million gold coins before and after that crappy experiment!"

   "Hahahahaha!"

   Rhaegar looked overjoyed.

  Lorland gracefully picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked again:

   "Is there no other breaking news?"

   Rega frowned and scanned the newspaper.

   Half a minute later.

  He said pleasantly:

   "Huh? My favorite author has a new work!"

   "You will not be able to guess the name of this work this time!"

   That being said.

   But he still looked at Lorraine nervously.

  However, this time Lorraine just sipped his tea without saying a word.

  Rega breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a complacent expression.

  He greeted Matthew, and Matthew leaned over curiously, and suddenly found such words on a large board of the supplement.

  …

   ""Rainforest Fever: Stories I Must Tell the Necromancer" is the first trial reading!

  Author: Deep Blue Harbor No. 1 Affectionate.

  Semi-autobiographical masterpiece!

  The best booking of the year!

   Produced by a senior playwright!

  One of the ten must-read books this summer! "

  …

  There are many comments from book reviewers below, all of which are full of praise, and I feel that I spent a lot of money.

  Matthew felt his cheeks were hot.

  Rega glanced at the text, and said in surprise:

   "Matthew, the protagonist of this work has the same name as you! Isn't this a coincidence?"

  Lorland on the sofa couldn't help stretching his waist, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his smile:

   "I didn't expect to meet readers who like me here. It can't be said that it's not a coincidence."

  Rega looked at Lorraine, then looked down at the newspaper in his hand, and suddenly he understood everything.

next moment.

   An emotion called disillusionment was born in his eyes.

  The atmosphere in the office was a little awkward.

   Rhaegar's gaze was completely off the newspaper.

  He examined Lorraine with a complicated and twisted gaze.

  Matthew coughed:

   "So the content of Alliance Weekly is relevant to you?"

  Lorraine said affirmatively:

"I'm one of the paper's senior contributors and one of the top sources. Generally speaking, if the reason in a story is 'an unnamed authority figure', it's basically me providing news. "

   "You know my ability. The gossip is very useful for providing materials to the Alliance Weekly, and they are willing to pay high prices for these materials."

  Matthew showed an envious expression.

   Immediately.

  He asked curiously:

   "Then can you catch the gossip around Rolling Stone Town?"

  Lorland closed his eyes and concentrated.

  His ears fluttered slightly.

   After a while.

  He opened his eyes, snapped his fingers, and said it in a half-singing way:

   "Yes.

  An unpopular gossip.

   There is a disheartened druid.

   turned into a kitten.

  He is playing with the white cat.

  But I don't know that the white cat is the enemy.

  She is a spy sent by the Wither Sect.

  She came here with bad intentions.

   Approach the kitten.

  Just to win the opportunity to occupy the oak forest..."

   didn't wait for him to finish singing.

  Matthew rushed out with a whoosh.

  …
