Chapter IV: Her Majesty's Refusal
The emerald pearls were crushed, the magic ice was condensed, the flowing mulberry flowers were pounded into spices, and the Mithril was refined to extract the original liquid......
Su Ya prepared and confirmed the alchemy raw materials in the same way, and then repeatedly calculated on the parchment roll to determine the proportion and weight of each raw material, and finally, carefully put it into the furnace, praying in her heart: "The gods are above, you must succeed, you must succeed!"
Whether her great plan to brush Her Majesty the Empress and rescue her mother can succeed depends on whether she can pass the mass manufacturing level.
If she can't break through, she is really worried that she will become a slave of the female officials of the Empire, refining beauty products day and night, and as for the rest, she has no time to think about the rest, and she has no place to think about it - it is estimated that as soon as she leaves the Golden Alley, she will have to be taken away by those female marshals of the Empire to work!
A piece of alchemy raw materials slowly melted in the furnace, and then it was swallowed into it all at once, Su Ya hurriedly returned to her thoughts, stared at the furnace tightly, and made all kinds of promises: "You are obedient to the little melting furnace, you are obedient, as long as you can succeed this time, I promise, next time I will take you to eat good raw materials!"
When the little melting pot heard this, the whole body trembled, the flames pumped a few points higher, and it seemed that swallowing harder, Su Ya saw that it was effective, and immediately cheered it up again: "Little melting pot, you follow the master and me, don't worry, the skull of the divine dragon and the tail feathers of the immortal bird are definitely not dreams!"
The Great Demon King of Tarot behind her couldn't help but sneer: "For the first time in so many years, I have seen an alchemist improve his alchemy level by coaxing the furnace. ”
Can't hear, she can't hear anything!
At this time, Su Ya will not be distracted by the big demon king, and still wholeheartedly encourages the little melting pot, finally. Emerald fireworks lit up over the small melting pot, and then, slowly, condensed into a beautiful powder, white and green—mass-produced magic pearl powder.
Yes. It worked!
There was no longer any need to worry about endlessly refining these things, Su Ya breathed a sigh of relief. She took out the crystal gourd bottle designed by Little Raymont for pearl powder, and put the powder into it one by one, and sealed it, leaving only five bottles outside, and she hid the rest in her magic bag.
Hmph, you can't let little Raymond know that she can refine so much at once, otherwise, she may not even have the next three days of rest. None of them are gone. She hasn't walked out of this castle for more than half a month, and she's almost stupid, even Lolita doesn't bother to play with her, woo!
"Bang-" Su Ya was thinking about it, when she heard the door pushed open very hard, she thought it was Lolita back, and when she looked up, she didn't expect it to be Margaret.
"Margaret, why are you here?" Suya shouted in surprise, her eyes sweeping towards Tarot. I found that there was only one book left on the recliner, and uh, the stealth skill was so useful. She also wants to learn.
However, Margaret didn't notice her movements at all, and said with a low expression: "Su Ya, I'm here to sue you that my aunt's advice to Her Majesty the Empress has failed." ”
Out of personal relationship, Suya has also given gifts to the Berry family before, and there are five of them, the current patriarch of the Berry family, which is the father of Margaret and Brooke. Mr. Antonio Berry, after receiving the gift. He was keenly aware of the business opportunities involved, and he thought that Suya's magic jewelry was unique. It is both beautiful and extraordinary, and if it is promoted, it will definitely make Golden Lane profitable.
Moreover, he believes that the promotion and propaganda method of "parading the streets" of the imperial capital to give gifts is ostentatious, but the effect is slow, and the fastest way should be to sell these magic jewelry to Her Majesty the Empress herself, in order to get the qualification to include the royal family in the procurement list - ordinary people will always feel that the things used by the imperial family must be the best, so that they will soon be recognized by the whole empire.
Although there were some errors in the direction of Mr. Antonio's help, it was consistent with Su Ya's original intention of brushing up on Her Majesty's feelings, so Su Ya quickly agreed to his suggestion and asked Margaret's aunt, Miss Maria, who was a female official of the imperial court, to try to speak to Her Majesty the Empress, and brought Su Ya's best work - an empress crown made of the dark elf clan and the treasure spirit vine as the main refining material.
This crown is not only simple and elegant, not afraid of the damage of dark magic, but also has a very wonderful effect, that is, to refresh the mind and increase intelligence.
It is said that when it was sent out, even the patriarch who had the magic spirit of the Berry family was a little reluctant, because he felt that his daughter Margaret needed such a treasure more than Her Majesty the Empress.
Margaret, who learned the truth, was so angry that she almost ran away from home, Su Ya estimated that this time Margaret came to inform her of the news so actively, and it was inseparable from this matter, and sure enough, Margaret continued: "Su Ya, if this crown is returned to you." No matter what price my dad offers, you can't sell him this crown, you know?!"
"Don't worry, I know. Su Ya responded very simply, and said in her heart that Her Majesty the Empress is such an ambitious person, even if she is not happy with the royal family to purchase her own things, she may not return the samples she sent, and it is also a dark fairy treasure. Humans and dark goblins have fought for so many years, and there are losses and wins, but even the empress Xià, who is known as the "darling of the god of war", has never obtained this level of loot, so it's strange if she doesn't want it.
"Well, that's good!" Margaret habitually raised her chin, looked around Su Ya's studio, and frowned, "You're so messy here, Golden Lane is too much, I just think about you making money for them, don't you send someone to clean it up for you?"
"Ahaha," Su Ya laughed awkwardly, kicking a dirty sock under the table under her feet, "Actually, they are very good to me, but I am afraid of being disturbed, so I don't want them to come in and clean up." ”
"Su Ya, you are just too easy to speak, they dare to do this to you, you know, you are the hero of the City of Time, the master of the Golden Lane! They want to please you, there are ways, when I came in just now, I saw that little Raymond's appearance was not pleasing to the eye, I heard that he forced you to work?!"
"Uh, it's okay, I caused it anyway......"
From now on, you either have to distinguish your relationship with the Golden Lane, or, you have to let everyone know that the Golden Lane is subordinate to you and under your control, otherwise, Her Majesty will never allow your magic jewelry to appear on the royal family's purchase list!"
Margaret's words finally made Su Ya listen to her heart, and she asked in surprise: "Uh, how do you say this?"
Seeing that her words finally attracted attention, Margaret hurriedly said everything she knew, it turned out that this time Her Majesty was still quite satisfied with the crown forged by Su Ya, since magic jewelry had never been used as a separate procurement category for the royal family, and naturally there was no conflict of interest with the merchants who had cooperated with her before, Her Majesty the Empress was about to nod her head and agree, but a female official who did not deal with Margaret's aunt stood up and deliberately reminded the empress that Su Ya was an alchemist who served the Golden Lane. Moreover, she also claimed that Su Ya must have sinister intentions.
Su Ya blinked: "So, Her Majesty the Empress believed her words and didn't plan to buy my things?"
"That's not true, Her Majesty the Empress, although she is domineering, but she is really not a small-bellied person, she just said, 'The City of Time has been about to move recently, and she has a heart of disobedience'," Margaret learned from the Empress, said the original words, saw that it was not right, and said "oops", "In short, what she means is that Golden Lane is the industry of the City of Time, and the things are good, and it is nothing for the people below to buy them privately, but as a royal family, she can't mislead the people, so forget it!"
"Understood!" Su Ya nodded, secretly relieved, just didn't reveal her true intentions, as for the empress's "misunderstanding" about her, Su Ya didn't take it to heart, first, in the name of Golden Lane, giving gifts was just for promotion, she never wanted to work for nothing, and second, she didn't think she could walk in front of this ambitious empress in one step.
Her purpose at the current stage is very simple, that is, to brush up enough sense of storage, as for the future, as the Tarot Great Demon King said, as long as her alchemy is unique, and let the Empress Xià think that she can be used by her, then, the Empress Xià, who wants to be "rich all over the world and lying in the eight wildernesses", will one day take the initiative to poach the corner!
The neglect at this time is just because the things he has refined are still dispensable in the eyes of Her Majesty the Empress!
It's just that, her dear Empress, you can't look down on beautiful jewelry that is just a magical treasure, so can you still resist the temptation of a brand-new magical treasure that can be tailored for you in front of you? Su Ya smiled slyly as she saw that she had successfully set a huge trap and a little man wearing a crown was jumping into the future.
Margaret saw that Su Ya had not spoken, thinking that she was still hesitating and wanted to persuade a few words, but when she saw Su Ya's smile, she couldn't help but shudder: "Su Ya, what's wrong with you? Why are you smiling as bad as Lolita?"
"Because I'm thinking about her," Su Ya made excuses for herself without changing her face, "I've been so busy lately that it's dark, but Lolita plays early and returns late every day, it's so unkind, do you know where she goes to play?"
Just as the name "Margaret" can attract all the attention of Lolita at any time, the name "Lolita" has the same effect on Margaret, and sure enough, Margaret immediately replied: "Where else can she go to play with her violent villain, run to a savage place like the Colosseum every day!"
"Colosseum?" Su Ya once heard that the darkest and bloodiest place in the imperial capital is the Colosseum, where the battle between death row prisoners and hungry monsters is staged every day, and when death row prisoners win the victory, they will devour the flesh and blood of the monsters, and vice versa. "What is Lolita doing there?" (To be continued) R861
