Chapter 39 Big Change
On the streets of the main city of Fein, Byrne, dressed in black, adjusted his glasses, arranged for the guards and servants to go to dinner, and looked for the commonalities between this city and the city where he lived in his childhood.
Soon he frowned deeply, because he could see garbage everywhere, completely unmanaged, and the ground with sewage flowing was even dirtier than Nasir.
People came and went in a hurry, and the houses on both sides of the street were very chaotic and crowded, and the surroundings gave Byrne a breathless sense of oppression.
With the emergence of steam engines and factories in recent years, people in rural towns and villages on the east coast have gradually begun to gather in Fein City, and the influx of foreign population is mainly concentrated in the suburbs. The overall trend of population explosion in many cities in the Oden Continent is inevitable.
He quickly fled to the city center of Fein City and could see that the surrounding environment was gradually getting better.
The streets in the city center are wide and flat, with clean roads paved without any garbage. Tall and lush trees are planted on both sides, and the sun shines through the gaps between the branches on the ground to form mottled light and shadows.
Byrne could guess that this street in the city center was where the rich lived.
The boy in the hat came over and smiled shyly at Byrne.
"Sir, do you want to buy a newspaper? There is big news about the Seven Stars Alliance today! Oh, that may not be accurate, because there will be no Seven Stars Alliance in the future."
Byrne was slightly stunned, and saw that many people around who bought newspapers looked shocked. Obviously, the boy did not lie, and there was indeed a shocking big event.
Although the Seven Stars Alliance was a bit far from Syat, Byrne was still very curious about what happened, and he had never read a newspaper in Nasir, but only heard about this kind of thing. Today, he wanted to try to buy one.
"Okay, I want one."
So he spent a copper nar to buy a newspaper from the newsboy, took it in his hand and read it. The name of this newspaper was "Syat World News".
Byrne was surprised to see that it was filled with a lot of knowledge and information from all over the world, just like a simple paper treasure!
Soon he found that the largest page of the newspaper used a huge font to explain the huge changes in the Northern Seven Stars Alliance, and his face changed instantly.
"If these are not two pranks, then they are simply too terrible."
The first thing is that the official name of the Seven Stars Alliance was officially changed to the Seven Stars Empire, completely ending the republican system that had existed for many years. A sub-human officer successfully ascended the throne as the emperor of the Seven Stars Empire.
"Miller Cosiga of the Seven Stars Empire comes from an unknown small noble family. People now call him the 'God of War'. He may be one of the most powerful knights in the Oden Continent or even in the world today."
He took a deep breath. If the first thing was just extremely shocking, then the next thing would make people feel that the whole world was inexplicably absurd.
The Sun Church in the Five Orthodox Churches publicly recognized the orthodox status of the Recasting Cult and regarded it as the sixth Orthodox Church!
"It is simply unreasonable. The advent of the God of Recasting is the most serious event in the world in the past hundred years."
At the beginning, after the advent of the Seven Stars, He slaughtered a large number of nobles and extraordinary people overnight, and even the original emperor died.
Byrne still remembered how the countries and churches regarded the Recasting Church as a scourge. Before seeing today's newspaper, he could not imagine the scene of the Recasting Church being recognized as a true church.
The Recasting Church regards "casting furnace" and "steel" as their symbols. The steam engine that has become increasingly popular in recent years is said to be their invention.
"At least the two things can't affect Siat. No matter what happens in the north of the continent, it is too far away from here." He muttered to himself.
Siat, one of the four eastern countries, is located in the southeast of Oden Continent, and is still far away from the Seven Stars.
The city center is relatively clean, and the surrounding houses are no longer so depressing, but Byrne did not breathe a sigh of relief. The content of the newspaper just now was too shocking.
"The Sun Church recognized the status of the Recasting Church. Even if it did such a terrible thing, it would have the opportunity to reverse public opinion again?"
He recalled the many history books he had read, and suddenly felt that in a few decades, the Recasting Church might really be different in the hearts of the world.
"If the Recasting Order can become the Orthodox Church and occupy a place, one day, Dawn may not be able to become the orthodoxy in people's minds."
He felt a little eager in his heart, and he clearly felt that this was a huge goal that was almost difficult to achieve. Even the crazy idea of destroying the Meyer family was more practical.
Ten minutes later, Byrne found the bank in Fein City.
There was no bank in Nasir. He walked into the extremely bright lobby curiously and saw the candle light in the crystal chandelier reflected on the marble floor.
The Fisher family only had the kind of chandelier with many curved lamp arms and candles. Byrne had never seen a more beautiful crystal chandelier, and he always couldn't help but look up and take a few more glances.
The Fisher family should also have such a chandelier in the future, he thought silently.
A middle-aged dwarf with a big beard came over. He was wearing loose bright yellow clothes, with kind eyes and looked very kind and friendly.
"Hello, sir, hahaha, what are you doing? You can tell me anything, especially about money!"
Nordival Bank, a giant joint-stock bank spread across the continent, is said to have a particularly high proportion of dwarves among its senior management, and this was the first time Byrne saw this rare alien race in the East in Siat.
He really had too many "first meeting" experiences today.
"Loan, I want to borrow money." Byrne said without hesitation.
The dwarf, who was only about one meter tall, narrowed his eyes, like a stone with a human face, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Okay, okay! I swear I like the word you just said! You can call me Mival , I am the head of Nordival’s branch in Fein!”
Mivar paused and continued: "However, we are also afraid of bad debts when lending, so we need you to provide some reliable proof."
Byrne calmly took out the certificate of knighthood signed by the Dark Iron Duke himself, and the dwarf Minval suddenly smiled.
"Hahahaha! I see, since we are all people with status and status, it will be easy to talk!"
After leaving the bank, Byrne's heart became extremely complicated.
He and Eileen had discussed the loan development matter a week ago. They both believed that as long as they used the ability of the "pharmacist" to continuously develop and improve new medicines, the Fisher family would be able to earn a lot of money continuously.
However, after actually borrowing fifty gold coins, Byrne, who was borrowing money for the first time, always felt that the psychological burden was heavy. It would be very troublesome if he could not repay it in the end.
Later, he found a local businessman in Fein City based on the address given by John the Sea Merchant, and the two parties made an appointment to meet at the other party's home.
Byrne led his servants and guards to the luxurious villa, which was more magnificent than the mayor's home and even similar to Baron Hoven's home in Nasir. He quickly realized that he was going to see a real big businessman.
According to John, most of the goods he shipped by sea were dumped nearby with the help of Mr. Jin, who had extremely strong abilities and connections.
Mr. Jin is a Siyat man who is two meters tall and weighs at least three hundred pounds. He has not even a single hair on his smooth head, and has a ferocious look like a butcher's.
It is said that his brother-in-law is the lord of Fein City, Viscount Best.
The interior of Mr. Jin's villa can only be described as magnificent. Deep in his heart, Byrne had a vague guess that although the other party was an ordinary person, he was probably richer than Baron Hoven, who was an extraordinary nobleman.
While the two were eating, they started talking about business.
"You want to sell this thing?"
He was holding a new red potion in his hand, and his low tone seemed to be aggressive, but Byrne always felt that the other party had no ill intentions and was just confused.
Byrne nodded well prepared and explained calmly:
"This is a powerful detoxification potion that can remove the toxin effects caused by all conventional toxins and low-level mysterious creatures. The average price on the market is three gold coins, and I only need less than one gold coin."
Mr. Jin thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Shelf life and transportation and storage methods?"
Byrne continued: "The shelf life is three years. After three years, the effect will weaken until it completely fails after five years. Remember not to bump it during transportation and storage."
He was confident of making money because the cost of the new powerful antidote was so low that it only cost a dozen silver coins, so the profit margin was huge.
Mr. Jin shook his head, turned to stare at the young man with eyes full of experience and experience, as if reading his character, and said calmly:
"It's still meaningless. Only a few people in the country are poisoned every day. Ordinary antidotes can handle most situations. The market share is too small, and you may have forgotten the costs of warehousing, transportation and publicity."
Byrne was stunned for a while and fell into a long silence. Mr. Jin was not quite right. In fact, he had already considered the costs of those things, but he didn't expect that Mr. Jin didn't care about the benefits at all.
It turns out that the big businessman who is backed by the Viscount family doesn't look down on petty profits at all. The bald man in front of him probably just wants to make a lot of money.
He suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with confidence just like the Lucius he once was, and he continued speaking casually and easily:
"Actually, our Fisher family is cooperating with a genius alchemy caster who has strong research and development capabilities in medicine."
Byrne's eyes were full of confidence, as if he had succeeded, and he smiled:
"As long as you are willing to help, we can come up with other new medicines within a year, and we will give priority to cooperating with you then."
Mr. Jin finally showed a playful smile, nodded and said:
"Well, it sounds interesting now. Then I need to sign an agreement and contract with you. If you can't come up with something new within a year, I will ask your Fisher family to compensate you."
The powerful antidote is just one result of the "pharmacist's" ability, and he will definitely be able to create more new medicines in the future.
Byrne couldn't hide his inner excitement, clenched his fists slightly, smiled and said: "Okay, I am willing to sign the contract."
