Chapter 73 73. That Day’s Level Was Fun for a While, Now I’m Searching the Crematorium.
In a large luxurious manor-style villa, a well-dressed gentleman held a red wine glass in his hand and looked up at the blue sky of Fairhaven.
After a long time, the gentleman asked casually: "How is the information you asked to investigate?"
In the shadows in the corner of the room, stood a masked thief covered in black leather armor. Herman, the director of the Pharmacists Guild who had had an unpleasant conflict with Mo Cheng, had his back straight, but his head was lowered, and he was covered in sweat and did not dare to speak.
"President, the Guild's orders for healing potions from the Law Enforcement Corps have been reduced by 50%. At the same time, the Orders from the Knights to the Guild have also been reduced by 20%."
The masked thief reported in a tone-free voice: "At the same time, a new pharmacy [Shimmer] has recently opened. They sell a shimmer ointment that is different from our treatment potions. The price is the same as ours." The effect is much better and the price is very cheap.”
When a product not only works well but is also cheap, it is the beginning of efforts to drive similar products out of the market.
"After a few days of spreading, many people have learned that there is a cheap and effective ointment on the market. Mercenaries, adventurers, and even some local residents have begun to try to buy it. We are losing market, Based on our calculations tomorrow we estimate that we will lose two percent of Fairhaven's market share."
The gentleman, who is the president of the Fairhaven Pharmacist Branch, Hodge, was lying on the armchair, tapping the handle with his fingers, "Someone has spread rumors that the ingredients of the shimmering ointment are unknown, and there are suspected toxic and side effects. ?"
The masked thief replied: "No, there is funding from the Lauren Frost family behind Shimmer Store. We can't take risks until we know Lauren Frost's attitude."
Saying that he couldn't take risks, the masked thief explained to Hotch in a very tactful way that he couldn't use the methods commonly used in private to deal with Shimmer Shop. The market share lost by the pharmacist branch was undoubtedly eaten up by Shimmer Ointment, so Lauren Frost, as the shareholder behind Shimmer, naturally took this benefit very happily.
If you want to steal a profit from an ancient family with a long history, it is better to do it in a nightmare.
Hotch said no more words, and silence would envelope the place.
Suddenly, Hodge stood up suddenly, turned around and gave Herman a precise and heavy straight punch, which directly dented part of Herman's domineering aquiline nose.
Under the huge impact, Herman was knocked out before he could even scream, but he didn't dare to scream, and quickly got up like a primary school student who had done something wrong, and stood back to his original position.
But it wasn't over yet. Hodge picked up the cane placed aside and hit Herman's head directly. The iron-core wooden cane inlaid with gold was heavy and hard. With a muffled sound, Herman almost lost consciousness. .
But even so, Herman was beaten to a bloody head and covered the wound tightly, neither daring to scream nor to hide.
Because Herman's power comes from the man in front of him, thanks to his wife.
"Mage! A group of mages! You idiot pushed a group of mages into the arms of others, just because of your stupid, imbecile, so-called vanity that was hybridized by pigs!"
Hotch roared loudly, and the red bloodshot eyes in the whites of his eyes showed that the branch president had not had a good rest during this period. The furious Hotch even picked up his cane again, not caring at all that Herman was his wife's brother-in-law. He was whipped like a wild dog.
After being tired from the beating, Hotch threw his cane aside, not caring about the shag carpet that was messed up by Herman's blood, and asked in a calm tone: "Have you found out who mastered the formula?"
"According to various existing clues, it seems to be the work of a certain mage team under the pseudonym [Karl] in Winterhold College. The news coming from within the law enforcement group is said to be the funding problems encountered by a certain mage team. The Master sells the ointment through his student [Karl].”
The masked thief turned a blind eye to the scene that just happened, like a humanoid golem that could only answer questions and answers about information. "According to analysis, they took out this batch of potions and went to the pharmacy in the magic area. They should be testing us. After all, they are spending money." We are the only ones in Erhaven who have a large amount of liquidity and can afford the experiment funds of the mage group."
He silently glanced at Herman, who was covered in blood and curled up on the ground, and continued: "However, after the other party discovered that the Pharmacists Guild had embezzled their ointment formula, they immediately surrendered to the law enforcement group and entrusted civilians to Albert House on the edge of the district produces shimmering ointment. According to analysis, the new priest Mo Cheng from Albert House has a deep friendship with Master [Karl]."
"After learning that Priest Mo Cheng was short of money and unable to maintain the operation of the Albert House, Master [Karl] used his own power to entrust the production of the ointment to Priest Mo Cheng. If you want to cooperate with Master [Karl] and his If we communicate with the team behind the team, then Priest Mo Cheng will be our primary target."
Hotch squinted his eyes and supported his chin with his hands. This was his habit when thinking, "Find Master [Karl] and tell him that our Apothecary Guild is the best partner."
The masked thief hesitated for a moment and asked: "What about the Albert House..."
"The law enforcement group keeps a close eye on that place. The treatment potions of our Ka law enforcement group made them very angry before. Captain Margaret won't give us a chance. It's up to him to do it. It's just a contract production factory. That number of people can produce not enough goods to satisfy one street in one day.”
When Margaret first took office, she confiscated a batch of raw materials that did not comply with the rules of the Pharmacist Branch because of impartiality and law enforcement. After that, the Pharmacist Guild simply imposed barriers on the supply of therapeutic potions, intending to force Margaret to Litte lowered her head.
If Mo Cheng hadn't been trying to sell Shimmer Ointment on the street disguised as [Karl], then Margaret might actually have bowed to the Pharmacist Branch on this matter.
But Margaret, who now has no worries about medicines, simply led the law enforcement team to keep an eye on the Pharmacist Branch. She did not deliberately look for trouble, and investigated the various items of the Pharmacist Branch to the maximum extent allowed by the regulations. .
However, a considerable number of channels in the pharmacist branch cannot withstand inspection and cannot be exposed to the sun.
Now when the people of the Pharmacist Branch see the people of the Law Enforcement Group, they feel like they are seeing a wolf king with a pack of wolves, specifically catching them and biting them.
