"What?! My lord, you asked me to prepare a thousand potions by myself?"
A few days later, Nick looked at the handsome young lord in front of him with a bewildered expression.
Due to Allen's strong request, Nick had been thrown into a bucket by the maids and washed several times, completely eliminating his sloppy appearance and the amazingly unbearable sour smell.
In fact, Nick was a totally attractive man when it came to taking care of his personal hygiene.
However, at this moment, he stared at his lord in disbelief.
"Well, it seems that it is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man," Allen touched his chin and said.
"It's more than just being a strong man!" Nick protested loudly. "My lord, I can make up to 200 potions in one day. That's because I devote all my energy and time to making potions."
"As a matter of fact, the number of potions I can actually make in one day is about 100 potions in seventy-two hours! And a Bronze Knight needs a basic potion, which is equivalent to one potion a day. That's a thousand potions a day!"
"And according to your plan, each person has three potions? So, the amount of potions needed is 3,000 potions in one day!"
"My God, only the knights of the Duke of Ryan's court have this treatment, right?!" Nick's words made Allen a little embarrassed. Indeed, according to the general situation, it is normal for a member of the Earl's Knights to get a quota of one potion a week.
You must know how expensive potions are, not only because of their scarcity but also because of the cost of magic plants.
Think about it, for every acre of magical plants spawned by the spirit of nature, you can buy about 5,000 to 7,000 gold coins.
That's just for the raw material!
Each acre of magic plants can produce two or three hundred primary potions, and primary potions require two kinds of magic plants. In other words, the cost of each primary potion is 50 to 70 gold coins.
And after the potionist's processing, the price of a potion is between one hundred and fifty gold coins to two hundred gold coins!
A potion is so expensive; let alone a large batch of potions needed by a large group of knights?
Take Earl Albert as an example. The Lord Earl's Knights of Thorns are allocated according to the quota that one member gets one potion every week.
The number of his Thorns Flower Knights is about 500 people.
In other words, he needs at least 500 primary potions a week.
In a month, that's 2,000 potions.
At a minimum price of one hundred and fifty gold coins each, that's 300,000 gold coins a month!
This is a very scary number!
Of course, as an earl, he has fairies and the spirit of nature.
These spirits of nature are enough for him to feed his knights, at most, to buy an occasional batch of potions.
This is also why only a large noble such as an earl who owns a large territory is qualified and has the strength to cultivate a knight order.
The cost of potions alone is not something that everyone can afford.
This is still a weekly quota.
And Allen actually wanted each knight to get a quota of three potions a day.
One day is three thousand, and one month is nearly 100,000 primary potions!
At least 15 million gold coins a month!
Just thinking about Nick makes my mouth dry!
Is this what an earl should think about?
I don't know; I thought you were the Grand Duke!
So arrogant!
"The raw materials for potions are actually not difficult. I have more than ten fairies now, and the spirits of nature are also evolving one after another. Each fairy can spawn ten acres of magical plants. Now in my territory, there are more than 100 acres of magical plants, and if you convert it, you can make more than 10,000 magical medicines in about a month."
"It's 90,000 short. If I didn't have the Holy Fairy Lucy, I really couldn't be so arrogant, but with the Holy Fairy, the magic plants don't have to worry me at all."
The Holy Fairy can be spawned by the spirit of nature, or the magical plants of the fairies. Not to mention the top ten ordinary magical plants, fifty or one hundred plants are not a problem at all.
Although there are still so many acres of land, with the Holy Fairy, the output can be flexibly adjusted according to Allen's will, so there is no need to worry about the number of magic plants.
"There is absolutely no problem with self-sufficiency; the problem is that there are not enough people."
Allen sighed slightly. What he lacked was not raw materials, but talented potionists.
"My lord, you need to recruit some potionists now."
Nick showed an emotional smile. Not long ago, he was enough alone. After all, Allen's territory was only Rose Town at that time.
But now, he can't.
"Yes, I need some junior potionists, um, intermediate potionists also need a few, and you, Nick, I hope you can promote to senior potionist during this time."
Allen said as he stood up from the sofa. At this moment, he was in Nick's small three-story castle. Now he needed to go back and arrange for the recruitment of potionists...
"My lord, in fact, I know some potionists. If you need it, I can try to contact them. In fact, I've long wanted them to come to Sirius, but I haven't had time to talk to you about it."
Nick gave an expectant smile.
Allen was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Of course, Nick, how many friends do you have?"
"Well, there are about three or four people. Most of them have been stuck in the primary potionist realm for too long. Just tell them that adults can help them break through. I believe they will never refuse my invitation."
Nick gave a confident smile.
"Very well, you can contact them."
Allen nodded with satisfaction: "But three or four people are not enough; I still need to recruit more potionists."
Allen said, turned to leave, and returned to his main castle.
Recruiting potionists is not an easy task, but recruiting some potionist apprentices is easier.
If the number of potionists is 1, then the number of apprentices is 100 or even 1000!
Allen pondered for a while. Although he had the aura of the potionist profession bonus, if no one helped him promote it, his aura ability would not be known.
No one knew the magic of their territory, and naturally no potionists were willing to come.
First of all, what he needs to do is not how to recruit potionists, but how to become famous in the potionist community.
As long as they can be famous in the circle of potionists and let them know that in their own territory, they can get a certain promotion, then even if they don't recruit themselves, the potionists will be overwhelming.
"Well, I want to become famous, recruit some apprentice potionists, and let them break through the junior potionist level in the shortest time. In this way, it should be able to have a huge attraction to those potionists."
Allen smiled and then asked Sparrow to find him.
He needs Sparrow to go to the capital, where there is a
