At this moment, even Liya was moved, and the blackstone collar, who had been in trouble for a long time, was too eager for the dawn of hope. As long as you have enough gold, you can buy serfs, farm tools, livestock, seeds, anything that can make Blackstone Territory prosperous again.

"Uncle Karrick, you're going to be welcome. Alice explained with a smile: "The second way to eat this sugar is to add syrup water when making bread, and the baked bread will be softer and sweeter." ”

Before the people understood the principle of fermentation, medieval bread was an unleavened cake similar to a compressed biscuit, dry, hard and chewy. As a natural starter culture, maltose has a huge development prospect in the production of bread, pastries and beer. Moreover, maltose has low hygroscopicity and high moisturizing properties, which can play a role in inhibiting dehydration and preventing food aging, so that food can remain soft, moist and fresh.

"Really?" The surprise continued, and Karrick also frowned a little: "I heard that only the nobles of the royal capital can enjoy the soft queen bread. If this sugar could actually make bread softer, I bet it would sell for a lot of money. ”

The so-called queen bread is actually a white bread made from fine wheat flour that has been sifted many times, mixed with eggs, milk, vanilla and wild honey, and craft beer. It is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive, and even if you are a real wealthy or noble noble, you can't enjoy it all at once.

"Ah, I have seen the Queen's bread, in the royal capital. Luna, who lived in the royal capital when she was a child, said excitedly: "It was at a big banquet that I saw from a distance that a princess or a prince or something is eligible to enjoy." It looks so soft and delicious. ”

"Luna, we can try it tomorrow. Alice was confident: "The knowledge of the gods is wealth and food. We will definitely bake our own queen bread. ”

"Yay!" Luna exclaimed excitedly.

Liya looked at this strange little girl with some strange feelings, full of doubts about her identity, and it was not a simple person who was qualified to meet the princess.

Alice seemed to see her doubts, "Luna was once a nobleman in the royal capital. It was only when they were persecuted that they came into exile with us. ”

Luna stuck out her tongue, not depressed by the exile, and her expression was pleasant: "I feel like a blessing now, Alice, to have you as a group of good friends to explore the beauty of knowledge together." ”

Leah arrived overnight, the first thing she did was to see if they were holding some evil ritual, and now she was a little relieved before moving on to the real topic: "Since you are all here, can you explain to me what happened that night?" Karrick confirmed the confession of Lien and the arsonist. However, killing Portute and burning down the castle of the Black Forest confuses me a little. If discovered, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Speaking of this question, Alice's face became solemn: "Liya, this is not a hasty decision. My father died in the conspiracy of the Duke of Ceylon, and even you were almost killed. Without the protection of the gods, our granary would have been destroyed by fire like the castle of the Black Forest. ”

"Alice, I didn't blame you. Leah shook her head with a wry smile and touched her head, "I understand you're here to save me, but maybe you can choose a gentler way." I'm just worried about retaliation, and we Blackstone Lords don't have enough to resist. ”

It's happened, and Leah has to start thinking about how to deal with the possible consequences.

"And, though Poldut is arrogant and rude, he only consults with me how to rid our territory of the robbers. Of course, that didn't sound right, and I didn't say yes hastily. ”

As soon as her words came out, the expressions of everyone present became very strange, and they all looked at Luna. Luna looked at Leah cautiously and said timidly, "Lord Leah, I am what you call a robber. ”

What the?

Leah looked confused and speechless in surprise.

"Leah, her father is Mr. Weimar, the leader of the bandits. Alice walked over and took Luna's hand, "And Luna, it's my good buddy. We Blackstone don't need to clear out the bandits, and Luna is the bond of friendship. ”

Karrick and Weimar kept in secret contact, and the agreement was not offensive to each other, but it was at the behest of Leah, who seemed to her that Weimar, who was once a nobleman, was far more reliable than the two wolves of Bloodbone and Cohen.

Leah's throat was dry: "It turned out to be Mr. Weimar, no wonder I heard Heimworth's family name at the time, and it felt a little familiar." However, the blood and bones of the bandits and Cohen ......"

"They have long been wiped out. There is only one leader of the current bandit group, and that is Mr. Weimar. It's all Linda's work. ”

Leah remembered Linda's terrible fists, and there was no doubt that the robbers must have died a terrible death.

"Well, it looks like there's a lot more I need to know. Leah showed a rare smile: "You guys, are you interested in telling me about it?"

"Of course!"

The four girls nodded happily, and Alice winked playfully: "But for now, we all need to rest and recuperate." Including you, Leah, because tomorrow is our harvest festival. ”

"A real harvest festival!"

In the dark of night, in Leah's bedroom, Alice lies in the crook of her arm, enjoying a rare sweet moment, sleeping more soundly than ever.

Leah looked at the peaceful sleeping face, and there was an indescribable strange feeling in her heart. Was she really a pagan in the preaching of the church? Why, however, did she seem to be more devout and happier than a believer in the Holy Spirit?

The knowledge of the gods, the creations of the gods, is not anything evil, but as Alice said, it is closely related to their lives. It was her wish to pray to the Holy Spirit again and again to bring the Blackstone Collar out of her predicament and restore prosperity, so that the serfs could live in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from hunger and cold, but she never received an answer, but worsened and disasters followed.

As for Alice, just a month of belief, the entire Blackstone Collar has brought earth-shaking changes, why is this?

......

"Hey, Linda, I'll tell you a story about the brave. In Linda's room, Luna changes into Alice's cotton pajamas and happily huddles with Linda under the covers.

The introverted Linda is like calm water, while the cheerful and lively Luna is like a passionate fire. Luna gushes and talks lotus, while Linda listens, amused by her exaggerated and naïve descriptions.

"Once upon a time, there was an evil dragon with a belly bigger than a castle, and its nostrils were like the openings in the gates of the royal capital. It's so wicked that it likes to take advantage of people's inattention—"

"Uh, Luna, how did the dragon, which is bigger than the castle, take advantage of people's inattention?

"Well, in the dead of night, sneaky. In short, no one noticed it. Then, he's so bad that he likes to sneak into the children's rooms. ”

"It's so big, how did it get into the kid's room?"

"Hmm, about that, haha...... That's not the point. ”

......

"Daddy, I did it! He paid the price for his sins. In the room of Dalin's father and daughter, Elena's face was full of revenge pleasure.

Dalin's face was full of complicated expressions, he did hate Quetan too, but he really didn't expect that young Elena would really be able to complete revenge.

"Son, maybe Dad is wrong. "Since learning that Alice is also a believer in the gods, his father Dalin's worries have been significantly reduced, and his daughter has been favored by the lord, and even his status has improved, so all his worries about his daughter have become concerns.

"The god you believe in has made you friends with Alice, and as the god said, you have completed your revenge. I've seen all of this and figured it out. ”

"Child, your god is good and great. Dai Lin's face was full of sighs and sighs: "The wisdom of the gods is full of wonderful skills. Now, how stupid and ignorant those master craftsmen in Waterdeep who claim to be skilled and wise. For decades and hundreds of years, they were still building backward scythes, never thinking that it could be improved and made more efficient. ”

As a carpenter, Dai Lin values skill and understands the value of these tools.

"There is also such a whimsy as the cotton stripper, which frees the hands of the serfs and is incredibly efficient. If there is a craftsman in the guild who can invent a cotton stripper, he will definitely be respected as a master craftsman. ”

"Of course, Dad. Do you believe it now? My god is much greater than the Holy Spirit. Elena's face, eyes, and tone were filled with pride.

"Believe it, my good daughter. Dai Lin's eyes were sour: "I also want to thank your gods, our life has become better because of this." ”

"Well, Dad, Alice gave me two dresses, one pale green and one lavender, which one do you say?"

Elena's thinking is usually very fast, and Dai Lin Waner smiled: "My daughter, which one is the most beautiful." ”
