Chapter 97 95. Archer

That night, Raymond had dinner with Arya at home, during which time he briefly told her about finding the blacksmith shop.

Then he went out to put on makeup and once again transformed into the cold-tempered 'underground pharmacist', and met at the place agreed upon with Manik yesterday.

South District, Fengliu Street.

Just like Fengqing Street in the East District, this street is almost full of prostitutes, but they are ordinary people and cannot be compared with the alien women in Fengqing Street.

In a dark alley.

When Manik got the five bottles of 'primary magic recovery potion' from Raymond, his face instantly showed joy.

In fact, he still hasn't terminated the cooperative relationship with his 'underground pharmacist' because he hasn't gotten the potion from Raymond yet and he can't feel at ease.

Now that he had obtained these five bottles of potions, he finally believed that Raymond was a pharmacist who could make potions.

"Mr. Rossay, this is the herb you want. According to your request, we have acquired enough to refine eight bottles."

Manik handed the leather bag in his hand to Raymond.

After Lei Meng took it, he took out the Bai Hao Stone and took care of it. He checked it briefly to make sure there was nothing wrong.

He put the leather bag away again, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, let's meet here tomorrow... For the gold coins you bought for the five bottles of 'Elementary Magic Recovery Potion', you can deduct the cost of purchasing the herbal medicine." Give me."

For a bottle of twenty silver coins, he only needs [-]%, which is sixteen coins. After deducting all costs, which is about six silver coins, he can make a net profit of about ten silver coins from a bottle.

From now on, eight bottles a day will equal eighty silver coins a day, which is definitely not a small amount of money!

You know, the last time he and Sharifi collected the 'blood vine grass', and finally sold all the herbs, the total amount was only about four gold coins.

Then we have to deduct various expenses, and then the money for Raymond's leather armor repair will also be deducted from it. In the end, the money each of them will receive may be less than one gold coin!
It took them two full days for that task, and Raymond was seriously injured.

As for Raymond's black iron ore and the two weapons he harvested, strictly speaking, they have nothing to do with the mission.

Therefore, 'pharmacist' and 'artisan' are the two most profitable professions that require no hard work and are the envy of other professions.

'But I can repair the leather armor by myself now, and I can give us a discount...'

Raymond touched his chin and thought.

After exchanging things with Manick, Raymond quickly left Fengliu Street, and Manick waited for him to leave Fengliu Street before leaving.

On the way, Raymond relied on the hunter's observation ability to make sure that no one was following him, then he took off his disguise halfway, restored his appearance, and finally returned to the single-family house at No. 25 Red Rose Street.

After coming back, Arya couldn't wait to help him clean the herbs, and then cut the herbs into small sections so that they could be put into the medicine tubes.

Manik helped Raymond collect these drug tubes, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Arya, Raymond successfully refined eight bottles of 'primary magic recovery potion'.

……

The next day.

Red Iron Street.

When Raymond finished his morning exercises, ate breakfast, put on makeup and came to 'Old Pierre's Blacksmith Shop', he found that Old Pierre had gotten up early, put up a chair and sat outside the shop.

At this time, Old Pierre's face was filled with lingering joy.

When he saw Raymond coming, he immediately stood up from the stool and said happily: "Rosei, you are here... Come on, come on over and take a look."

Old Pierre pointed behind him, and then Raymond noticed the weapon rack behind Old Pierre.

He actually moved the weapons rack out of the shop!
However, Raymond also noticed that only the weapons he made yesterday were placed on the weapon rack, and the handles had been replaced with sword hilts made of fine wood, and a scabbard was placed next to it.

However, there are only long swords and short swords on the shelf now. As for the first long sword that Raymond shot yesterday, it is gone.

"Mr. Pierre, that long sword, could it be..." Raymond looked at the smile on Old Pierre's face and already guessed what it was.

"Haha... That's right, that long sword was sold this morning!"

Old Pierre said happily.

Then under Old Pierre's narration, Raymond learned that after he left yesterday, Old Pierre quickly closed the shop and went directly to buy a batch of good wood to make sword hilts and scabbards.

And the three brand new weapons, hilts and scabbards were made overnight.

Old Pierre got up this morning and was worried that others wouldn't know that he already had three more weapons made by Raymond in his store, so he moved the weapon rack directly outside the shop so that people could see it.

At that time, a white porcelain-level swordsman happened to pass by. His weapon was broken while performing the commission, and he was planning to replace it with a better long sword.

When he saw the three weapons brought out by Old Pierre, he could tell at a glance that the three weapons were extraordinary.

Because he had been to many craftsmen's weapon shops and had seen the weapons made by the apprentice craftsmen in those shops, and these three weapons gave people the same feeling as those weapons.

When he learned from Old Pierre that it was indeed built by a 'craftsman', he directly asked the price and prepared to buy it.

After testing the other party for a while and finding out from the other party that the price of such weapons in craftsmen's weapon shops was at least one gold coin, Old Pierre offered a price of eighty silver coins.

"Originally, I thought he would negotiate the price after hearing this price. After all, this price is the same as the high-quality weapons from the big shops on Hongtie Street. Unexpectedly, he bought it directly!"

Old Pierre talked very excitedly, and the smile on his face never stopped.

After all, he had never been able to buy it at such a high price before. Among the kitchen knives and agricultural tools in his shop, as well as those low-quality swords, the highest prices were no more than ten silver coins!

This time someone just spent eighty silver coins to buy the sword, which made him feel unreal.

"Come on, Rosé, this is your share."

Old Pierre handed a leather bag to Raymond. There was a rattling sound inside, which was obviously silver coins.

Raymond also took it directly, after all, it was agreed upon yesterday.

But as soon as he took it, he found that the weight was wrong. It was not less, but more.

"Mr. Pierre, are there too many silver coins here?" Raymond frowned.

"Ah."

Old Pierre suddenly smiled and said, "There are forty silver coins in it. I think if I give you [-]%, it's too little. I feel bad about it and plan to share it equally."

But Raymond still didn't accept it in the end, "Mr. Pierre, since we agreed on [-]%, of course we will get the agreed share. Although the weapons were all made by me, I did nothing but make the weapons, nothing... …”

"And didn't I say that the adventurers I know will privately ask me for materials to build or repair equipment for them, and the income belongs to me... So, if we have to share it equally, I won't be satisfied with it."

"This……"

Seeing what Raymond said, Old Pierre could only nod in the end and agreed, "Okay."

But he finally said: "But if you need anything, just tell me."

When he heard what he said, Raymond's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Mr. Pierre, can you give me the key to the shop? Sometimes I may not be free to come here during the day, and I may come here at night."

"Oh?" Old Pierre looked at him in surprise, but he didn't think much and agreed directly, "Okay, I'll give you the key, and you can just build one yourself."

With that said, Old Pierre handed Raymond the key to the shop door lock.

He would not sleep here at night, because even at night, the noisy sound of forging on Hongtie Street would not stop.

After Raymond took the key, he started the fire without saying a word, picked up a small iron block from the ground, and started to work.

An hour later, a key with the exact same shape as the key in his hand was created by Raymond.

After using it to open the lock of the shop, Raymond carefully put the key away. After all, this was related to his future use of 'black iron ore' to make weapons, so he was very careful.

After doing this, Raymond started to build weapons again.

……

Time flies, five days have passed.

That night, Raymond came to Fengliu Street as usual and found that Manik had been waiting here early, but he looked very distressed and scratched his hair with his hands from time to time.

When he saw Raymond coming, he immediately said hello, "Mr. Rossay, you are here."

Raymond nodded and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Uh……"

Manik suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Well, I only collected six herbs today."

"Oh? What's going on?" Raymond asked immediately.

This is a bit abnormal. It stands to reason that since the price I offered is so high, there is no way I won't receive the herbs.If you can't collect it yourself, let alone other 'underground pharmacists'.

Hearing that Raymond did not directly blame himself, Manik immediately explained, "I heard that a group of powerful bandits appeared outside the town of Waiters. They have intercepted and killed several caravans and people they encountered in the past few days. It’s become an adventurer, so many adventurers now don’t dare to accept commissions and go out to do missions.”

Robbers... Raymond instantly remembered the robbers who were with Freya in the guild that day before she left. "Didn't the Knights already send people to hunt down this group of robbers?"

"That's true, but that group of robbers was very cautious, and every time the knights approached them, they would retreat quickly as if they knew about it in advance, causing the knights to return without success several times."

Manik shook his head helplessly.

At this time, he hoped to catch those bandits earlier than the Knights, because in the past seven days, he helped Raymond purchase medicinal herbs and made money from selling potions, which was almost as much as the previous 'underground pharmacist''s monthly income. Got it!

Manik terminated the cooperative relationship with the 'underground pharmacist' a few days ago and only helped Raymond buy and sell it.

Now he no longer needs to go to the streets to attract people. He only needs to book a box in the tavern, and adventurers will naturally come to him to sell medicinal herbs.

Even old customers who left before are now coming back to him to sell medicinal herbs.

"Mr. Rossay, what should we do?" Manik scratched his head.

In this regard, Raymond had no choice but to say: "In that case, let's take whatever we can receive in the past few days."

"Row!"

Finally, Raymond took the leather bag from Manik, which contained six herbs and eighty silver coins for selling potions. He also handed over the eight bottles of 'primary magic recovery potion' that he had refined last night to Manik.

……

"Raymon, why are there only six bottles today?" Arya was a little confused when she saw that there were only six bottles today.

Raymond informed her about the robbers. He had also mentioned to Arya before that because the robbers had not been resolved, he and Sharifi did not go to accept the commission.

"I didn't expect those bandits to be so powerful. Even the Knights couldn't do anything to them. Fortunately, you didn't accept the commission."

Arya was horrified to hear that caravans and adventurers had died at the hands of the bandits.

Later, with the help of Arya, Raymond quickly completed the refining of six bottles of 'primary magic recovery potion'.

Returning to the room at night, Raymond looked at the bows and arrows hanging on the wall and nodded slightly, "It's time to awaken the archers!"

The long bow was naturally the one picked up from the Crazy Baboon territory. Raymond had already checked it and found that it was not damaged and could be used directly.

Moreover, this long bow was previously made of black iron and should even be used by bronze-level adventurers. It is naturally not much worse and its value is no worse than the long sword he is using now.

Whether it is the bow body or the bow string, the quality, elasticity, and toughness are very good. It took less than half of Raymond's effort to fully pull it.

As for the arrows, they were fine arrowheads made by him using his 'forging' skills!

There are three main types of arrows. The first is the armor-piercing arrow, which is a thin arrow with strong penetrating power. It is specially used to deal with monsters with scales and hard shells, such as snakes, crabs and other powerful monsters.

The second type is a double-edged barbed arrow. This kind of arrow is like the tip of a sword, but there are barbs at both ends of the arrow tail. The arrow blade is very sharp. Once shot by this kind of arrow, because of the presence of barbs, the arrow will directly stuck in the body.

This kind of arrow is difficult to pull out without incision. Pulling it out will directly cause a lot of bleeding. Even if it is kept inserted, the arrow will bleed because of its rhombus shape.

The third type is the heavy arrow. The arrowhead of this kind of arrow is relatively large and heavy. Although it has no armor-breaking ability, it has great lethality. Once it is shot, it will basically be a big hole!
However, this type of arrow is too large, has weak penetrating power, and is heavy, so it is only suitable for archers with particularly strong strength. If the strength is not enough, even if it hits the enemy, the arrow will not be able to penetrate it, let alone cause damage. .

And Raymond, the warrior, is particularly suitable for this kind of use.

Raymond refined five of each of these three types of arrows, and the arrow bodies were all made of wood.

……

The next day, after Raymond had breakfast, he told Arya, put on leather gloves, carried a bow and arrow on his back, held a dagger, put on makeup and got ready to go out.

The leather armor had been repaired by him two days ago.

"Are you planning to go alone this time?" Arya asked when she saw him putting on makeup.

"Yes." Raymond nodded, then touched the longbow on his back and said with a smile, "After all, I don't want to reveal that I have other professions and let Sharifei and the others know about it."

"Then please be safe." Arya simply told her.

But knowing that Raymond was a mutant rat who went to clean the sewers, Arya wasn't very worried.

She now knows that Raymond's magic value is very high and he has many skills. Even if he encounters the giant mutant rat from before and a group of mutant rats, he will probably be able to escape unscathed.

"Okay." Raymond smiled softly, and after a simple reply, he went out quickly.

Not long after, he came to the familiar sewer entrance again.

"It's back again!"

Raymond touched his nose, "But this probably won't be the last time."

He plans to use mutant rats to awaken archers this time, and will rely on mutant rats to awaken assassins in the future.

"Speaking of which, I have awakened so many professions, and almost half of them depended on these mutant rats."

Raymond looked strange.

At least among his seven professions, warrior, craftsman, and magician all rely on them.

Soon, another archer will be added.

"I love Shushu the most!"

Raymond put on a scarf, put on the white stone, and went directly into the sewer.

However, Raymond soon noticed that there were many fresh footprints on the bluestone slabs on both sides of the sewer.

In the past, when he came, there were only a few footprints that had not yet evaporated.

"It seems that because of the robber incident, no one dares to accept the commission, so we can only do this task of cleaning up the rats in the sewer."

Raymond laughed dumbly.

Although the mutated rats are close and there is no need to worry about the risk of mission failure, many white porcelain level adventurers are unwilling to do it.

Because the sewers really stink, the mutated rats are disgusting, and if you get injured, you have to spend money to buy an antidote.

It is worth mentioning that after awakening the 'Pharmacist', Raymond no longer needs to worry about viruses and bacteria on the mutated mice, because the 'Pharmacist' is highly resistant to abnormalities, and poisons below the advanced level are basically harmless to Raymond now. Effect.

"It will save a lot of money on buying antidotes in the future."

Raymond smiled.

As he moved forward, he soon saw a lot of bright lights. Adventurers like him were wearing scarves and white stones on their heads.

Raymond didn't stop and went straight into the deepest part. The number of adventurers he met behind also dropped sharply.

Finally, he chose a branch path with many mutant rat footprints and walked in.

……

boom!
Raymond punched a mutated mouse to death, leaving only one breath.

Then, he took out another white stone from his arms and placed it on the ground, clearly illuminating the position of the mutated mouse.

Then Raymond started walking back. After walking about 100 meters, he looked back and nodded, "That's almost it."

Hunters control distance very accurately.

Raymond directly pulled out a heavy arrow behind him, put the bow on the bow and pulled the string. With just a slight pull, the string was almost full.

He aimed at the mutated mouse a hundred meters away and relaxed his fingers.

Whoosh!
The long arrow pierced the sky and made a rapid sound.

boom!
The mutated mouse's head was blown away by the impact of the heavy arrow!
One hit kill!
The heavy arrow was fully utilized in Raymond's hands.

At this time, Raymond's eyes also lit up:
"Complete the [Archer] awakening requirements: use bows and arrows to kill ten monsters at a distance of at least 100 meters, and kill them with one hit!"

"Awakening profession: Archer."

Looking at the content of the panel in front of him, Raymond smiled slightly: "Finally awakened!"

After awakening the archer, his eyesight and arm strength will be greatly improved. Unfortunately, Raymond has already awakened the hunter and warrior before, and there is basically no improvement for him.

Except for bow and arrow technology!
Raymond's arrow clearly felt like there was nothing wrong with it before, but now he just thinks about it and feels that there is something wrong with it.

The bow and arrow are held too tightly, and the arrow is a bit high. It's okay if you shoot at a target within 120 meters, but if the target is further away, it will miss the target directly.

If he had shot the arrow just now, he would not have to worry about accuracy and use heavy arrows. Even with a small armor-piercing arrow, he could hit the mutant mouse's fatal part with one blow and kill it with one blow!
