After leaving the commander's office and attending the vice commander's call.
Dror went to town and t with Chaow who was arguing with Rutna on so matters.
But after eting with Dror both of them stopped fighting and greeted him.
Ever since Dror was appointed as a captain the way Chaow and Rutna looked at him changed to more of reverence and respect.
This was because their father was once a captain.
Dror " How are both of you doing? Are you still attending the class regularly Rutna or are you skipping it to make so pocket money…"
Rutna had a small pout and she whispered " I am always first in the class even though I don't attend them..hmmm"
Chaow didn't know what to say about Rutna, but he replied " We are doing good sir, why did you call for…"
Dror spoke with a smile " I have a small business proposal for you both. I want both of you to collect as much low grade herbs as possible at the lowest price…"
Rutna's eyes started shining with dollar signs all of sudden and she spoke enthusiastically
" Which herbs do you want and how much? I have deep connections and can get you all the herbs that you want at the lowest price.
Of Course you should give the commission for arranging it…. How about a 5% of the total you buy.."
Dror and Chaow was dumbfounded and thought the sa thing
" 5% ...why don't you rob soone instead and what deep connections…"
Chaow spoke up " I am extrely sorry sir, I will help you with this matter and you don't need to pay any commission…. Ouch…"
Rutna was already stamping on Chaow's leg.
Dror couldn't hold his laughter
" Don't worry Chaow it's only natural that I pay you a commission for the task, I will pay you 3% and you have to get the herbs at least 5% lower price than in the normal market. If you can get it at an even lower price you can keep the extra profit…"
Chaow was taken aback " No sir…. Ouch.."
Rutna interrupted while extending her small hands for a handshake
" Deal…"
Instead of shaking her hand Dror patted her head " You little money grubber, you are becoming more and more like a cut throat businessman. I wonder what you will beco in the future."
Rutna pouted again as she was not happy about being treated like a little child.
Dror looked towards Chaow and continued " Chaow you don't need to worry… I was already thinking of going to the shop or rchants, then I thought about you.
You do transportation for all kinds of herbs and rchants after work, so you must have connections with them…. This is the list of herbs that I am looking for.."
Before Chaow could say anything, a small hand grabbed the list instantly and the small hand was extended again to shake hands.
" It was good doing business with you, we will contact you by tomorrow …"
This ti Dror really shakes the little hand confirming the deal.
Chaow who was standing besides didn't even get a chance to speak properly and could only sigh.
Clearly dror never gave up his idea of making money through alchemy and after being in the temporary trance he had much better understanding of alchemy and as to where he had gone wrong in the previous attempts to make pills.
Alchemy was an ancient art which ca into being to treat different illnesses in people. Only a good doctor could beco a good alchemist.
The doctors of ancient tis checked the conditions of each patient and created specific pills for that patient themselves.
This is how the art of alchemy ca into being.
But as it developed it beca more generalized and alchemists started making common drugs for all kinds of people.
As a money consuming art the Alchemist also needed a great amount of herbs and other materials to continue their research.
And this art that ca into being as an Art of welfare and service beca a money making occupation.
Dror never understood the true aning behind the art and his sole purpose was also money making.
Even Though he read and studied so of the descriptions given by Earnest on different diseases, their symptoms and redy. He never focused much on these parts and skipped through them mostly.
His only focus was on the pill making process itself and there was no one to pinpoint his mistakes.
After talking so more details with the sibling, he returned to his room and he didn't forget to grab a bottle of rum on the way back to celebrate.
He contacted Levi and Alexander to inform them that he was out of deep ditation .
Levi was busy with his own affairs and Alexander was too focused on his historical research.
In the end Dror ended up finishing the bottle of Rum himself.
He beca much more calm after his little celebration and started thinking about his achievents and future plans.
"I have achieved so minor success for my future plans. But my plan itself is not complete, I have not yet found a way to launch the revolution in a grand manner.
Hmmmm… I need to search into the ancient civilization more thoroughly.
Hmm...That is right, The map…"
He soon took out the black tablet and accessed the map provided by Earnest to locate his family.
This map was different from the other maps he had found, because this was a much more detailed map including almost all kinds of structures and paths.
It had great details as Earnest didn't want the person who found his will to get lost searching for his family.
Dror started carefully studying the Map and matching it with the present map of the planet and alliance governnt.
He found new information after comparing the maps thoroughly.
He had already read the history of this planet a long ti ago.
According to the historians, Almost all the people residing in the planet Ayangdad were migrators that the great sage Ayangdad brought here after making this planet sustainable for life.
The so-called ancient civilization was the people that lived here before the calamity struck them, there was not much detail about what the calamity was.
But after it struck the ancient civilization was destroyed and the entire planet beca dead, unable to sustain life.
It was thousands of years later that the great sage ca to the planet and restored it to its current condition.
Then he brought people of another dying planet to this planet providing them with a life line and ho.
When the first refugees arrived they found the old structures of the ancient civilization and found it much easier to build their own cities over the ruins and existing structures of the ancient cities.
That ant many of the ancient structures and machinery still existed inside the current 8 central cities of Ayangdad.
Dror beca more happy as he thought up more factors of his plan. He had the urge to run to the library and get more details this instant but it was already night.
When the next day ca the first thing that he did was to visit the library.
When Alexander ca to the ancient section as usual he was surprised to see that soone else was already in here before him, but after recognizing who it was he warmly greeted the other person.
Dror was madly searching through different books to gain a better understanding of the governnt and public structures and systems of the ancient civilization.
Alexander was also intrigued by Dror's enthusiasm.
Later with the help of Alexander he was able to get hold of the books that he was searching for.
Alexander was much more intrigued by the fact that this guy was searching for information on the governnt and governance of the ancient civilization.
Alexander knew that Dror had great understanding of the ancient language, but he didn't inquire much into it. As everyone had their own secrets and private matters.
If dror wished to reveal sothing he would reveal it himself and after being reading buddies for so ti they had beco more or less friends.
....
Two days passed by in the blink of an eye, Dror wanted to go to the library and do further research but he couldn't as today was the award ceremony of the Earth base camp and today was also the day when he will be appointed as one of the Young Dragon Major.
The entire camp was decorated and was in a festive mood. The chief guest of the ceremony was The Minister of War.
Most of the soldiers were standing before the platform where the award ceremony was going to take place, Even Though a rebel army they still showed great discipline.
Dror was also present in his captain's uniform, he was smiling inside his heart about how handso he looked in the uniform.
Thankfully for him Nympho wasn't here as she was not much interested in such public events but in private events.
As much as Dror was happy he was also feeling a little weird about this whole thing as the current atmosphere didn't resemble anything like a rebel base but a proper country rewarding its soldiers.
Maybe it looked natural because they were still following the traditions of the old kingdom.
