Chapter 170: I Think I Can Give You Something
Andris is a big deal, even though there aren't any of them in the castle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I have to ask Moulton what is going on, those seven aunts and eight aunts are all directly related to each other, hiding in various places in Scaloa to make a lot of money, and there is a feeling of being hidden in the city.
So because there are not many people in the family in general, everyone is more casual, eating and chatting about anything, and basically there is no aristocratic style.
There are only such people living here, and there is really nothing to be proud of.
There are a few other families that have used a similar method to Andris, and the basic soup is scattered all over the country, secretly gradually penetrating the lifeblood of the country. As for how this system works stably, probably only a guy like Morton who takes the lead knows it completely, and Carlil is not interested in it anyway, and has never asked questions about it.
Anyway, someone can do it well, so why do they care so much.
Instead of meddling in something that doesn't matter to you, it's better to care about the reliability of today's dinner.
Having just returned home, the evening was served a sumptuous meal, and everyone, including Angelo, sat down around the table after a brief meeting.
It's a variety of delicacies that you can't get in the fortress, and there's a cider specially prepared for Kalil, the low-alcohol kind.
This would have been a big meal that made Karil happy and couldn't find the north, but before starting, she was subtly disturbed by Red Lotus's words.
After hearing Red Lotus's inadvertent words at the door, Karil grabbed the corner of Red Lotus's clothes.
"Moving out? What the? ā
Karil didn't think of any reason to do that.
"Ahh......h I can't tell, well, anyway, after eating, your dad will call you over, let him explain it then, I don't understand, in short, your family's own business. ā
Her Scarlet Red Lotus just needs to follow the League of Assassins and Karil's camp in a mess!
This explanation obviously didn't get Carlil's approval, but Honglian had a stupid expression on her face, and Karil couldn't do anything about her, so after glaring at her helplessly, she had to let go again and honestly go to dinner first.
But in any case, there is no reason to do anything unfavorable to Karil now, and there must be a good reason for what Morton wants to do, and this reason is likely to be on the way back, and several people have fiercely argued about such things...... Probably...... Maybe...... Possible...... It's really okay, right?
Starting from the right side of Kaliel, Angus, Matthew, Red Lotus, and Angelo, each eating is more terrible than the other, and the most terrifying thing is that Angelo can still maintain a certain degree of elegance while eating and drinking......
Although I know that you haven't eaten so good for a while, you won't do it so much, especially except for Angus, the three on the right can be regarded as brought home by Carlil, which makes Carlil can't help but feel ashamed, so she wants to deliberately squeeze to the left and make an expression and pretend that she doesn't know them.
In contrast, the half table people on the left side are their parents and Qing Ci, this half is enough to give face, and the wind and clouds on the right form an unusually sharp contrast, even people look reliable three points, but there are three people in total, among which their own mother doesn't care about the war, Qing Ci is just a simple personal guard, and everything else doesn't matter.
Thinking about it, I really have a feeling that I can't imagine that the lifeline of my country is actually in the hands of such a group of seemingly unreliable guys.
After almost half eating, Kahlil suddenly remembered that she should have pulled Xiao Yi out just now, but it was too late to remember, and she couldn't pull her face down to fool Xiao Yi again, so she had to wait until she was done with it, and personally opened a small stove for her, and got some delicious tribute to fill the appetite of the little guy.
However, this small stove is definitely not open at this time, and Kaliel is eating while thinking about what Honglian said just now, and even a table of dishes has lost two points of appetite, so she waits for dinner time to talk to her father, or wait for her father to talk to herself.
"Planning to start working tomorrow?"
Morton put down his knife and fork and replied seemingly casually to Carlil next to him.
"Huh?" Kahlil was drinking the soup with her head down, and the fox on her left trembled deftly when she heard Moulton's words.
"Design drawing, although I don't want to rush it, but, after all, the sooner this matter is, the better, ask if you have a plan." Morton said.
He had already eaten almost, and the part of the table that everyone hadn't eaten up before it was quickly swept away by the people on the other side, seeing that they were eating too hard, Morton was almost embarrassed to rob them, so he simply left it to them.
"Tomorrow, rest assured, soon, it won't delay you too long, before that, remember to prepare for production, I will complete the test process together, and finally you just need to put them into production as soon as possible."
Karil tossed the spoon into the small white porcelain bowl, and every time she talked about alchemy, she couldn't help but feel a little more nervous, and her movements were a little heavier than usual.
"Of course." Morton replied in a muffled voice.
That's not the point you're going to make......
Carlil never looked up at him, but the little sound that Morton made was listened to by Carlil, a little ghostly, patient, just waiting for him to bring up the key matter.
"Do you have any other plans after dinner?" said Moulton, as he saw Karil's two fox ears poke up slightly.
"No, no, if there's something to do, just tell me straight."
You don't get to the point for a long time like this, and it makes people feel even more worried.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you in the study, we need to talk a little bit." Moulton said.
"Okay."
Anyway, I didn't say when the big meal promised to Xiao Yi, it's just a time after dinner, and it's acceptable to drag it back, and there are still some things that make Kahlil more concerned about it first, cooking or something, anyway, as long as you have time, you can do anything, you have materials, equipment, and chefs at home, and it's not easy to make a little food.
So after dinner, Carlil quickly sent Red Lotus and Angelo back, climbed up to the fourth floor alone, and knocked on the heavy wooden door of Moulton's study.
"Please come in."
"I heard you have something new, about my arrangement."
Karil pushed the door in, and at the same time cut the topic directly to the topic, it is best to ask as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to keep thinking about it.
"Uh-huh......" Moulton sat behind his desk, the fireplace burning next to him, the room was brightly lit, and the temperature was much warmer than outside, making people feel much more relaxed as soon as they entered.
"Looks like you've heard about it," Morton gestured to the wooden chair across from his desk for Kahlil to sit down, "maybe take some of the burden off my instructions, so how much do you know now?" ā
"I don't know at all, so please be sure to elaborate on everything." Kahlil sniffed, and the air was filled with a slight smell of spices, emanating from the burning wood in the fireplace, and it was not surprising that it was a fairly common material.
"In fact...... After our exchanges, from the perspective of the forces we all belong to, we feel that there is a power that can be exerted in our hands that has been hidden in our hands, and now is not the time for us to keep this power. Morton said slowly, unhurriedly, this is his own language habit, and the various details habits he has developed over the years will make him bring different degrees of pressure to the other party in the conversation.
"Just out of competence?" Carlil sat across from her desk, looking up and down every change in Morton's demeanor as she spoke.
"Hmm" Morton nodded, unconcerned about his daughter's observant eyes, he casually flipped through a map next to his desk, tapped it lightly with his rough fingers, and said, "After many consultations, I think this is the best place for you right now." ā
On some of the yellowed maps, a circle was drawn in black ink, and a place name was circled in it, under which the icon of a city-state was drawn, surrounded by a plain, one flowing from the northwest sea to the southeast, and the other flowing down the snow-capped mountains to meet it, converging and wading through the plain to the west, east to the direction of Icefield City, and north to the coast.
"Why, there's something I need to do there." Carlil glanced at the map and got a glimpse of where Morton had marked, but it wasn't enough.
"It's not there, it's what needs to be done here," Morton explained: "Ao Yara, a city that was still taking shape a few decades ago, has long since decayed, but the geographical conditions, and the capital left over from the past, make Ao Yaara the best place for you to show your abilities at present." ā
"Abilities?"
"Alchemy"
Morton replied categorically.
In Hobbs, the only thing that Kahlil can use is his own alchemy room, but the technical level of this small room is far from being comparable to the technology that Kahlil has mastered.
Moulton, Angus, Angelo, Red Lotus, and Matthew basically think so.
"Well, how much support can be provided?" Kahlil asked with a long sigh of relief.
Alchemy and magic are very money-burning activities, and my father actually wants to stuff himself with a place to play freely...... But that also requires capital to be squandered.
"With a team of alchemists and magicians to assist, you will be able to call on all the resources that Daoyala already has, human, material, and financial resources, and you can all negotiate with you to submit reports." Morton swallowed unconsciously after speaking: "We only know that you have a powerful alchemy now, but no one knows what level of your skills have reached and where they come from?" It doesn't matter anymore, Sunderland shows us how technological advances can shape the world, and technology can't accumulate overnight. ā
"So after weighing it, you plan to let me play, go all out to develop at this juncture, and shorten the gap in technology as much as possible?"
Kahlil smiled slightly.
It sounds reasonable, a person who is close by, reliable and capable, and since it can be used, why not let this person move for the sake of Scalloa's victory?
"Yes" Morton sighed, he didn't want to do this, the more he felt that he was a great failure as a father, but it was the best choice if he could let Carlil play for the moment: "However, it is not a request, let alone an order. If you don't want to......"
"No, I agree......"
Carlil interrupted Moulton. Anyway, I can't live at home, and I don't need to meddle in all kinds of military and political affairs, so it's actually a good choice to have a place of my own to continue to play alchemy and leave those troublesome things behind.
It's just that, I've been told to be a good old man before...... Who let them still be in the same thief ship with these people?
"Give me a report on the specifics, but under what name are you going to get me over?" Kahlil glanced at the map again, it was not a large place, but it was a piece of land that could circle a piece of the map.
"That's easy to do." Morton smiled lightly: "Angus will be on the throne soon, and after that, Daoyala will be yours." ā
It was probably the greatest gift Kahlil had ever received. (To be continued.) )
