Chapter 431 Contract
The five people glanced at each other. They were able to come to Liante City with dreams, some for themselves and some for their families, so no one would quit willingly. They were in the center of civilization, and they may only have one chance to be here.
“Lord, I’m Mahler. I want to tell you something.” The original manager, Mahler, gave an uneasy glance at Bartoli.
“Don’t be nervous. Just say it.”
Bartoli vaguely knew that there must be something wrong with selling this shop to others in a hurry, but she believed that if she couldn’t solve it as an intermediate wizard, then Abel could definitely solve it.
Mahler told Bartoli carefully, “Lord Johnny took over this shop three months ago. After the renovation, he found that all the ingredients had to be purchased through the organization of the catering alliance, and their prices are very high. We needed to pay 30% of our income to the catering alliance each month. Otherwise, it will stop supplying us with all the raw materials. With the tax every month, although this shop was just opened, the business… was not good. Lord Johnny has been losing money for three months. He can’t pay these expenses anymore, so he was thinking of selling the shop and leaving here.”
“Mahler, you don’t have to worry about that. We have our own channel ingredients, and don’t care about the catering alliance.” Bartoli waved his hand and said carelessly.
If it was a large organization such as the Wizard Union, she might still consider it. This kind of business organization was not in her eyes. The starting point was different, the location was different, and the way of looking at the problem was different. For Mahler, the catering alliance was a big organization.
But for Bartoli, her middle-level wizard status was too high to stress about catering alliances, not to mention that she would not buy materials from the catering alliance. All the materials were all sent by blacksmith through the portal circle.
“Mahler, it will be good for you to stay as the store manager. You can introduce them to me first.” Bartoli was very satisfied with Mahler, who considered Abel’s hards.h.i.+ps right away. With this, Mahler could be rea.s.sured, and with the contract, he didn’t need to be afraid of Mahler betraying him at all.
“Yes, Lord. These are the chefs Finkle and Barney. They are brothers. Their cooking skills are good, but lord Johnny doesn’t seem to have the taste of the residents of Liante City, so this is also one of the reasons for the poor business. These are Garen and Mickey, the waiters in the store.” Mahler carefully introduced them to Bartoli.
Bartoli didn’t care how good the two chefs were before. In her opinion, they weren’t as good as her. They still had to learn from the beginning “Very good. This is the contract. Just put your hand on it!” Bartoli took out a contract made of delicate animal skin from the portal bag and placed it on the table.
This animal skin contract was not made of ordinary animal skin, it was made of the softest skin of the mid-level spirit beast, and Bartoli used the dark world’s spell pattern to add the mana on the contract.
The rights and obligations of the two parties were written on the contract. This was an equal contract, which showed that Bartoli provided compensation, and the clerks would not only have normal work, but also must keep the corresponding secrets. Otherwise, they would be punished by the wizard.
Upon seeing this mysterious contract, Mahler froze for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, but he still pressed the fingerprint on it. Others saw him had already signed the contract, they then stepped forward and pressed their fingerprints.
When Mickey finally pressed his fingerprint on the contract, the contract was surrounded by a white light, which slowly rose from the table. It extended to six streaks, which connected Bartoli with the five.
A grand voice sounded in the minds of six people: “The contract has been established!”
The five clerks, who had never seen such a scene, were pale, and the power of the wizards made them palpitate. What had just happened made them tightly put away the careful thoughts that had not yet been generated. Abel was embarra.s.sed to do his next task. He rode Black Wind to the Blacksmith Union.
Before the Blacksmith Union’s communication circle, Abel activated the circle and was waiting for a response from the opposite.
“Master Abel, are you looking for me?” Bernie’s voice came from the communication circle.
“Bernie, this isn’t so drastic. Don’t be so formal,” Abel said with a smile.
“Abel, are you going to open a restaurant? Why should I send so many ingredients every day?” Bernie’s voice became a lot more casual, he asked.
“Cough!!” Abel couldn’t help saying something. This was not really a glorious thing for a blacksmith master to open the restaurant.
“No way, did you really open a restaurant?” Bernie raised his voice a lot, and he seemed to be frightened.
“For points?” Abel said helplessly.
“What are you missing, I can give you, why do you need to build a restaurant for points, how many points can you earn then,” Bernie said generously.
“Yes, one of the sixth floor of the magic towers, one of the spirit towers, three of the large defense circles, and three of the portal circles!” Abel said in an indifferent tone.
Bernie replied as he quickly caught onto what Abel was after, “Abel, these things are strategic materials, but if you build the magic tower into the rupture basin, our Goff family can afford it, and we will help you with the best things.”
Bernie continued jokingly, “I suppose all you have to do is to shout me a meal. How many points will the items on your menu be?” Bernie was very curious about what kind of restaurant Abel was going to open, and he was confident to change for many strategic materials. “About that, you’d better not come to eat at my place. The food I’m making, it’s…. it will make people addicted.” “Look, the restaurant hasn’t opened yet. No need to be stingy, is there?” Bernie laughed. Abel changed the subject, “Hey, could you deliver a box of potions to help me get to the Grand Duke Edwina in the Angstrom City. Only you can do this for me.”
“Okay, sure. No problem. I’m going on a trip.” Bernie knew the ident.i.ty of Abel’s other potion master, and he was the only one who could only do this kind of thing.
“By the way, giving you another barrel of master wine is a reward for you. If you are embarra.s.sed to ask for some, I will save some for you.” Abel said jokingly
“Doesn’t everyone wants master wine? I’ll take what you give me.” Bernie yelled.
The status of those drinking master wine had risen again. Since Abel became a master, the value of this master wine had risen again. Among the dwarves, the master wine had become a symbol of n.o.ble status.
But Bernie gave others more master wine than he had, and now he didn’t even have much of the master wine he could drink. Every time he drank, he had to save as much as possible. Abel just sent another barrel this time, which might solve his anxiety.
The Blacksmith Union’s portal circle was a circle for themselves, which was not connected to the outside world. It was just a portal circle between all the Blacksmith Union in the Holy Continent. This was also the premise of establis.h.i.+ng a portal circle for the Blacksmith Union. Otherwise, it was just for the safety of the city, and each city would not allow the Blacksmith Union to build the portal circle in its own city.
There was a Blacksmith Union in the Goff city of the Goff family. As long as the items were sent there, it was almost equivalent to send to the Goff family. Abel pa.s.sed a box of potions and a barrel of master wine through the portal circle.
Abel’s other ident.i.ty, Master Bennett, was an alchemist of the elves, so In order to maintain the name of Master Bennett, as well as to have a friendly relations.h.i.+p with Grand Duke Edwina, he would also regularly send some potions to Angstrom City, which could consolidate his position among the elves.
On the other hand, he also knew that if he stopped supplying his lotion and conditioners, it might cause a riot. As long as the elves were desperate enough to keep doing business with the dwarves to buy these two kinds of potions, he had to keep supplying for their demand. Once the supply stopped, the first place to be affected was Angstrom City and Grand Duke Edwina, since master Bennett was the alchemist of the Grand Duke’s Palace
