Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 97 Sam's Family
Sam is an ordinary student at the Royal Academy, but he is also from the North.
Precisely because he is from the North, Sam supports Codick more fanatically than those students - although Sam has not returned to the North for a long time, this does not prevent Sam from criticizing Grand Duke Lars.
Because only in this way can he integrate into the environment of the royal capital.
But even though Sam was more fanatical than anyone else, his classmates still looked at him with disdain.
And with the death of Grand Duke Lars, the wind direction of the royal capital changed again, becoming the so-called freedom and equality, and all students were proud to fight for the interests of the demons.
Unfortunately, although Sam wanted to be a dog for the demons, he now had to return to the North.
Due to the continuous rise in prices and the fact that Sam's parents' business has not been very good recently, Sam had no choice but to give up his studies, even though his father had always said that the alchemy courses in the capital were useless and it would be better for him to return to the North to learn alchemy from him.
Sam's parents were an alchemist and a pharmacist respectively, the most common combination in a small alchemy workshop. It was also because of this that Sam's life was relatively affluent before, after all, both his parents were professionals.
But when Sam returned to the North, he found that the prices of various medicines had been pushed down to extremely low levels, even close to cost price.
Originally, only the price of recovery potions was very low, but starting from this winter, the prices of various strengthening potions and purification potions also went down, so that the parents of the handicraft workshop could no longer afford Sam's tuition.
These alchemical potions, like the previous recovery potions, are engraved with the North Wind Bear family crest, which is obviously from the Gray Collar, and it is not concealed at all.
"I heard that Gray Collar is recruiting alchemists, why don't we give it a try?"
Sam's father was quite open-minded about it. After all, the three members of his family were all professionals and they would not starve to death.
"no!"
Sam spoke up to stop him, "Governor Lind with a gray collar is a destroyer of peace, a man-eating devil viscount, and he discriminates against the demons. How can you, mom and dad, give up your freedom for the temptation of a little money?"
Sam's father looked at his son with some confusion and asked, "Why did you give up your freedom? I saw that the gray-collar workers were still giving people holidays."
Sam's mother also interrupted, "Besides, the prices there are relatively stable. I heard from my sister in Castle Doug that Governor Doug is going to promote a new currency issued by himself and force conversion. We still have time to run now."
But Sam still spoke up and said, "Governor Linde over there has inherited the position of Grand Duke Lars. Mom and Dad, do you still want to return to the rule of Grand Duke Lars?"
"really?"
Sam's father said in surprise: "That's great. The North has been in a mess since the death of Grand Duke Lars. If we go back to the time of Grand Duke Lars, we can continue to earn some tuition for you."
"And I heard that the tax there is low, maybe we can save some money." Sam's mother opened the account book, and there was a small note inside, which was a promotion for gray and white-collar workers. Recently, there are more and more of these small notes and flyers.
"I don't want any tuition fees, and I don't want any savings! I want freedom! I want equality! I want peace!"
Sam yelled hysterically, "Mom and Dad, why don't you understand? Starving to death is a small matter, but losing your freedom is a big matter!"
"What did Governor Linde do? He actually refused to allow the demons to enter his territory. Does he know how miserable the demons were in the past? They could only be squeezed into the eternal frozen ground and couldn't even get enough food."
Then, Sam seemed to be in a certain state, and said sadly: "But even in the eternal frozen earth, the demons are still optimistic. They even said that the eternal frozen earth gave them true freedom. They relied on their own perseverance to develop in the eternal frozen earth. Ah, what a wise and tenacious race they are."
Sam's father looked at his son as if he was a fool, and seemed to regret sending his son to the royal capital to study.
"No matter what you say, we have to leave here. The business is really unsustainable. Only a few old customers come to us to buy medicine. If you don't want to go to the gray-collar shop, you can stay here and make some medicine for those old customers. It can also save our family's reputation. What do you think?"
After thinking about it, Sam's father decided to obey his son. After all, he was his own child. What else could he do?
Although Sam's mother looked at the father and son who were both mentally handicapped with helplessness, she finally said, "Write to us if you have any difficulties. The remaining money at home should be used frugally. Your father and I have secretly saved a lot of silver leaf coins and gold shield coins. We have placed them under your bed at home. If Governor Doug really wants to exchange money in the future, just give him some money. Don't take all of it. Got it?"
Looking at his parents who were still discussing money issues in front of him, Sam felt a little annoyed. His parents' ideas were far inferior to those of the nobles in the royal capital. Sure enough, were the visions of low-level professionals still too narrow?
After repeatedly telling himself not to become like his parents, Sam bid farewell to his parents and started his own pharmacy.
But soon, Sam began to understand his parents. Not only potions, but almost all products related to alchemy had prices very close to the cost price. Sam did a quick calculation and found that the prices of these alchemical products from Gray Collar were basically the cost price plus shipping costs.
Although they are just some low-level alchemical props and the prices are not very low for ordinary people, the fact that ordinary people can consider alchemical products is already incredible enough.
So how did the gray-collar worker make money? Sam could even imagine his parents being imprisoned by the evil governor and working day and night in a black-hearted factory to produce potions.
When Sam thought of this, he felt a little sad. After all, no matter how stupid they were, they were still his parents.
Life alone is very free, but also very difficult. Sam soon discovered the real reason why his parents couldn't make ends meet. It can be said that except for the price of medicine, all other prices were very high.
People may not need alchemical potions, but they certainly cannot do without food. When Sam was in the capital, he lived up to the standards of his royal and noble classmates, with delicious meals every day. But now that he has arrived in the North, he can't even afford an egg.
Looking at the gold and silver coins left by his parents, Sam gritted his teeth and decided to hold on for a while. Not long after, Sam heard about the Demon Concession from a passing adventurer.
Sam felt refreshed after hearing this. The demons were great, smart and civilized. Although Governor Doug had turned to the light, he was still a member of the Lars family, so he should go to the demon concession. He had learned a lot of skills in the royal capital, and he would surely shine in the demon concession.
