Chapter 225: Encyclopedia of Rare Herbs
This mission was too suitable for Lorne.
Currently, the Cold Desolate Dragon City was in a state of ruins. It required a large amount of manpower and resources to rebuild this city that had been silent for tens of thousands of years.
Lorne immediately accepted the mission and brought the activated City Creation Token to the teleportation array.
Teleport!
Gnome Mountain Range!
With a flash of light, Lorne reached the familiar place.
Right now, the Cold Desolate Dragon City was in his grasp, but before it was converted into his territory, he had to cleanse the region near the city. It was time to s.h.i.+ne light upon the map that was polluted by the aura of the undead.
In addition, he had other things to find Tully for.
The progress of mining in the ruins of the war needed to be explained by Tully.
Also, in the Blacksmith Guild, Barres had said that the necklace on him was a former divine equipment, which made him very curious.
…
At this moment, in the high-level conference room of the Gnome Mineral Company.
“Grandpa, did you really agree to that human adventurer?”
The Gnome NPC, Turado, looked at his grandfather Tully in shock.
He did not expect that as the regional manager of the Iron Skull City branch of the Gnome Mineral Company, his own grandfather would choose to give up his position in the company and follow a human adventurer. It was unbelievable.
“Don’t be surprised, Turado. I’ve thought about it carefully.” Tully smiled.
“But I don’t understand your decision. I don’t think the family will understand either.”
“It’s normal that you don’t understand. This is also because you haven’t come into contact with that man.”
Tully said seriously, “Originally, I also wanted to reject his suggestion. Even in the days after I agreed to it, I was still struggling. But now, it’s different. I completely believe that if we follow that gentleman, we will have a better future.”
“I still don’t understand. Although the blueprint of [Dragon’s Kingdom] is rare, our gnomes also have a portion of it. We have also seen the blueprint mastered by other races and used it as a foundation to obtain our current construction and design technology.”
“These technologies have been refined for thousands of years and have long become knowledge that is suitable for us gnomes. Even if that adventurer has the complete blueprint of the Dragon Kingdom, I still don’t think it’s worth it for you to give up everything, let alone all the businesses of the family.”
Turado still shook his head.
Although the blueprint of the Dragon Kingdom was a priceless treasure, the gnomes had already obtained enough wisdom from it. Now that these ‘wisdoms’ had not completely developed, there was no need to blindly pursue a higher level. That would only affect their current progress and they would lose the family business that they had acc.u.mulated for a thousand years. It was not worth it.
“My dear Turado, your concerns are unnecessary, I don’t plan to change the direction of the family’s development. You and your father, Tumeng, will continue to develop the company along with the family.”
“I’m already old. The family does not lack my power, so in the final light of my life, I want to explore another path. The map of the Dragon Kingdom is just one of the factors.”
With that, Tully looked at his grandson, Turado, and asked, “Did you read the book that you gave me just now?”
“Yes.”
Turado nodded and picked up the book on the table. His palm touched the name on it—”Encyclopedia of Rare Herbs”.
“This is a book filled with wisdom. It records the characteristics of all herbs in detail, and even the hidden effects of the herbs are recorded in detail. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to read this book. It gave me endless knowledge and also made me more familiar with the world of herbs.”
“Grandpa, perhaps you don’t know, but it was because I accidentally obtained this book from a human businessman that I suppressed my opponent in the company’s bidding and successfully seized the opportunity to obtain the recognition of the manager.”
Turado looked at the book in his hand and became more and more excited.
At this moment, Tully asked, “Do you know the origin of this book?”
“Yes, it was edited by two alchemy masters from the Human Empire.”
“Moreover, I also know that an alchemist master named Doge is in Iron Skull City. In fact, this is also the main reason why I came here. I want to go to Iron Skull City to meet this Master Doge and ask about Mr. Tyrant who is only willing to reveal his pen name. Most of the contents of this book were contributed by him. He must be an extraordinary expert.” Turado said fervently.
“He’s indeed extraordinary!”
Tully laughed. “My dear Turado, you’re right. But there’s something I need to correct you about. That’s the name of this Mr. Tyrant. Tyrant is not his pen name, but his real name.”
“Grandpa, do you know this master?!”
Turado was pleasantly surprised.
In order to meet Mr. Tyrant, he had specially come to the northern border from the Gnome Kingdom. He only hoped to see this extraordinary master with his own eyes. It was best if he could obtain some wisdom from a conversation with him.
“Of course.” Tully nodded and smiled, “Not only do I know this Master Tyrant, but I also work closely with him. Remember the order I took half a month ago?”
“Yes, Grandpa. Although you are old, your business ability is much better than other regional managers. Half a month ago, you obtained a cooperation project for 100 mineral veins and obtained 50% of the profits, directly breaking the highest record in recent years.”
“That’s right, that’s true.”
Tully said, “However, this is not because I am good at making deals, but because Mr. Tyrant found me and offered to cooperate, giving us 50% of the profits.”
100 mineral veins was not a small number, which was equivalent to the quarterly business of a regional company.
Moreover, these mineral veins could be mined at the same time and obtain the greatest benefits in the shortest time. It was also because of this that Tully’s performance was outstanding.
“I see.” Turado nodded repeatedly and said, “Looks like this Mr. Tyrant is really our family’s benefactor. It’s because of his help that Grandfather can obtain the best performance. I also obtained a new project and even obtained the recognition of the manager.”
“Grandpa, can you help me introduce Mr. Tyrant? I want to express my grat.i.tude to him.”
“Don’t worry, Turado. Wait for me to explain the details of Mr. Tyrant.”
“Is there anything else about Mr. Tyrant?”
“Of course.”
“If I tell you that Mr. Tyrant is the one who wants to take me in, would you believe me?”
