Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start Chapter 39 Winning The Bet

-----

I had surprised him more than I had expected. The rchant was exploding with happiness and at the sa ti with disbelief. I guess he got more out of it than he could had ever thought.

"Without a doubt, I can make more of these, but not without a price. Also, you said you were going to pay for making this potion, right? You don't want to violate the contract we made and receive a punishnt from it, I hope?" I said.

"O-Of course… I wasn't going to scam you or sothing! So your na is…" asked the rchant.

"Na's Blake. Just call like that." I said.

"My na is Eustace Alfredo Silverplate… It is nice to et you, Blake…" said Eustace, his stance, personality, and even his politeness suddenly had a big shift as he began to see with more respect due to having showed him what I was capable of.

We shook hands as he sat down once more, he still was coping with it, he couldn't believe this was real life.

He then began to look into his reserves and took out several gold coins, giving a small leather bag with coins.

"Here's four hundred coins for your work, this is what an Alchemist would be normally paid to make a dozen of Potions, but those would only be Normal Grade, what you made is Unique Grade, above Normal and even Rare Grade… These potions with such quality are often bought by royalty, boy!" said the man, his eyes seed to have turned into $ shape.

Four hundred gold coins seed like a fair trade, I had calculated the price before, he had supplented with the materials, and even more, Erika's father also helped with telling the estimated price of the potions. The materials I used were roughly around 300 Gold Coins, he will probably get a thousand if not a bit more out of it.

Also, I drank all the other potions I got out of these materials, so I believe it is more than fair. Pursuing more money will enrage him, and my goal as of now is to gain his trust.

My future might depend on this.

I was also glad he wasn't scummy enough, within my expectations there was the small thought that he might try to kidnap and turn into an alchemist slave. It was a possible thing he could do, after all I was a serf kid who nobody would ever care aside from my parents, who had no strength, nor money.

But he seed to have so moral codes at the very least, even though he had accepted the bet with as a potential slave.

These contracts are interesting, they can even force people to act more decently. I should perhaps force him to make another one with , if possible.

But forcing the situation even more could make look suspicious.

"This money should be enough." I said.

"Of course! That's more than you will ever earn in your lifeti…" said the rchant while laughing.

"What are you going to do then, do you have more materials? I can make more potions. I need money to make my family citizens and then purchase a house in the main city… Most likely, I will also bring my friend's family with ." I said.

"Hmph, you got big dreams, Blake… Well, for now I am going back to the capital. I will travel around the Kingdom for the rest of the year, but you've got talent. I am going to co back next year, probably in the Spring… If I can et you again, I think I will have so commissions for you." He said.

I suppose he wasn't going to bring to the capital, that was one of the question. He is not as generous as I thought, or perhaps he doesn't want to invest too much on . He is a realistic person. I suppose that if he can see that I've survived another year, he'll commission again.

Probably, he will slowly supply with money over the years until I gain his trust and he'll help more, but for now, this is more than enough. I suppose I could invest the money I got and buy more mana potion ingredients with it, make more mana potions, and sell them.

"I see. I am very grateful for your help; I'll be waiting for you next year… By any chance, are you selling more ingredients to make mana potions?" I wondered.

"Not at the mont, they're often sold inside the capital in apothecary stores, and they're not cheap. There are more things that can be sold other than potions, you know? Sotis it is best not to invest too much. Unless I can see that this potion can actually sell, I won't ask you to make more…" he said.

Yes, he was very realistic as a man, I can understand his point of view. I guess I shouldn't have expected much either. This is enough for now.

With this money, I could make my entire family into citizens, but that's about it. We wouldn't have enough money to even buy a small house in the duchy, or anything of that sort, so it would be wasted money.

It is better to save it for now and slowly accumulate more gold coins. But who said I can do this trick to only one rchant? I will try to find others that could be looking for alchemists to work with.

I am also a proficient Crafter, and I am pretty sure I am very good at Forging as well, but who would believe a five-year-old kid like that I have so many talents? It will take so ti.

"That's a pity. Do you know of any other rchant around here that might sell them?" I asked.

"No, they're all just selling low-grade potions and don't have more materials. I think they're shady too, don't go showing your talent to anybody, a serf kid like you could easily get kidnapped…" Eustace replied.
