Chapter 24 - We'll Pay 6,000 Gold Coins

In front of the two of them was an extremely tall and irregular building. The outer wall was like a patchwork of countless iron sheets.

The front door was tall and wide with a semicircle-shaped window on it. Through the glass of the front door, one could see the bustling scene inside the workshop.

There was a heavy stream of people. Even with Warren’s help, it still took a lot of effort for Li Tianxiang to get into the alchemy workshop.

“Hey, isn’t that Uncle Warren?”

They had just entered the workshop when an enthusiastic voice sounded from afar.

Soon, a short girl wearing a lab coat that looked like a chemical lab coat and a pair of goggles squeezed out from the crowd.

“This is Noir, the chief alchemist of Noel’s alchemy lab.”

Warren greeted the girl first before introducing both parties to each other.

“Wait!”

Before Warren could introduce what Li Tianxiang needed, Noir walked around Li Tianxiang twice. Then, she looked up at Li Tianxiang’s face, rubbing her chin with one hand on her hip.

“Did you take some kind of potion that affects your mood or personality? Or did someone use some kind of bewitching spell? Or did something happen? It feels like your emotions are being forced onto you.”

Li Tianxiang was slightly surprised. Even he had only realized the problem with his emotions after noticing the debuff that he was affected by, as well as the side effects of the Power of 100 Beasts.

However, Noir only looked at him twice, and she already knew. Furthermore, she even knew that these emotions had been added by an external force.

This was as expected of the chief alchemist of the Noel Alchemy Workshop, which was introduced by Warren.

Seeing Li Tianxiang nod his head, Noir looked happy and shouted something at the counter. Since there were too many people, Li Tianxiang couldn’t hear her clearly.

However, this didn’t matter. Very soon, an apprentice ran to her side while holding a test tube stuffed with a cork.

“Coincidentally, Noel’s Alchemy Workshop has developed a new potion, Test Number 939. Its effect is to calm people down. Do you want to give it a try? For the first user, it only costs 500 gold coins to buy a unit of this potion.”

“That’s good. Let me try it out.”

Due to the Heart of the Beast, Li Tianxiang had wanted to tear Warren into pieces at least 17 times since he came in. He wanted to make a scene in the Blackstone Alchemy Guild eight times, and wanted to commit indiscriminate crimes three times.

Now that he heard that this potion could calm him down, he would give it a try even if it cost 500 magic crystals.

However, just as his hand was about to take the test tube, the potion suddenly disappeared into thin air, and a gentle voice sounded from behind them.

“I also need the effects of this potion. If possible, I am willing to buy it from you so that I can use it.”

Li Tianxiang turned around and saw that it was a noble dressed in bright clothes. He looked a head taller than him and had a short sword at his waist. He was bowing slightly and greeting Li Tianxiang with a smile.

Li Tianxiang frowned and looked at the gentle smile on the noble’s face. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was constantly looking at May and Lan, with Li Tianxiang’s personality, he would be very happy to earn money in exchange for nothing.

“This potion was meant for this customer.”

However, before Li Tianxiang could fly into a rage, Noir pointed his chin forward slightly. Li Tianxiang felt the light in the workshop distort slightly, and then a shrill scream was heard.

Behind the aristocrat, a figure wearing tights appeared, clutching his wrist.

On Noir’s side, three people wearing similar white coats appeared. However, their hoods and goggles concealed their appearances.

The leader approached Noir, bowed slightly, and held the test tube up to her.

Noir grabbed it and stuffed it into Li Tianxiang’s hands. The corners of her mouth curled up like a child who had succeeded in her prank. Li Tianxiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“How bold!”

The noble’s face darkened as he stepped forward and stared at Noir.

“I think your alchemy workshop doesn’t want to continue operating in Stormwind City, right?”

Upon seeing this farce, Warren slapped his head and felt dizzy.

“Your Highness Jacob.”

He quickly stepped forward to block the noble man.

Jacob saw that Warren’s expression had eased slightly, but Warren’s next words made his expression even uglier.

“However, even your father, Duke Harry, would not threaten the alchemist in front of him like this. You must know that 90% of the gunpowder and alchemy materials in the Alliance come from Noel’s Alchemy Workshop.”

Upon hearing those words, Jacob’s expression changed several times. In the end, he spoke with a sinister tone.

“Alright. Even so, I’ve heard about the rules of doing business with gnomes. The highest bidder wins, right? Five hundred gold coins? Hmph! Can’t I buy it for 5,000 gold coins?”

As he spoke, his gaze drifted to the two sisters of the Schariac family. He had long heard that there were two beauties in the Schariac family.

Unfortunately, he had never had the chance to meet them. Today, he finally heard that the two of them had come to the market. Without a word, he brought his servants out.

However, what he did not expect was that from the moment he discovered the two sisters, their gazes had been fixated on another man, causing him to almost grit his teeth.

He had finally found a chance to show off, but before that man could say anything, he had already been humiliated.

Naturally, he didn’t dare to put on airs with Warren, the king of the underground business in the Monarch City. Under Warren’s advice, he couldn’t fly into a rage at Noir. In the end, he could only come up with the vulgar method of using his money to oppress others.

Li Tianxiang raised his head to look at him and Jacob almost jumped up.

Li Tianxiang rolled his eyes and looked at Jacob like he was an idiot.

“Five thousand gold coins! Are you selling it to me or not? If not, offer a higher price!”

Li Tianxiang took out five magic crystals from his pocket and handed them to Noir.

“I’m not interested in overcharging. Why should I offer a higher price? It only costs 500 gold coins anyway.”

Jacob choked. The servant behind him, who was holding his wrist, finally recovered and whispered something into his ear.

His eyes lit up and his prideful smile crept up the corner of his lips again. However, the words that came out of his mouth were really mean.

“Could it be that you can’t even afford 5,000 gold coins? No way, no way! And you still want to shop with the ladies? Just like that?”

Li Tianxiang looked down on him in his heart. For him to engage in such manipulative talk, the Western Fantasy World was truly backward.

He coughed to hide his amusement.

However, if he didn’t step up, someone else would.

“Who said so! We’ll pay 6,000 gold coins!”

It was Lan. She was waving her arms, looking unconvinced. Meanwhile, Li Tianxiang rubbed his forehead. When he saw Mei, who was beside him, looking equally speechless, his mouth twitched..
