For the inexplicable plot development, Green felt a little difficult to let go. Why? Why are you turning me away!? Do you have any business like that!?

Green felt a little confused. However, to Green's dismay, no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find the Elysium anymore - the passage to the Elysium had literally disappeared.

"What the hell is this!?" Green felt a little depressed.

After a careful search of the surroundings, Green had to admit that the restaurant was really gone, and he seemed to have been rejected by the restaurant.

"Is it because you ate too much last time?" Grimm was a little puzzled, turned to Apova and the others and said, "Withdraw." It seems that there is no chance this time, and next time in the Demon Moon, I will send someone to send you over to try it. ”

Epova looked at the place where the Elysium had disappeared and blinked: "Okay, master. ”

It was a failed trip. The indifference of the restaurant made Green feel very unhappy, but he was helpless - even the Demon King could not take a restaurant that did not exist in the main plane at all.

Compared to Green's frustration, Epova was not as disappointed as she seemed. When she saw the restaurant disappear, Epova suddenly had an idea: directly extracting the magic and nutrients from the food would seriously damage the deliciousness of the food itself, so why not reverse the operation and directly inject the magic into the food to make the magic rich in the food increase?

Just like the projection of the restaurant just now, with the real restaurant as the core, the dining room of the outer plane is projected onto the main material plane, and then "weaving" it with magic power, so that the restaurant that does not exist in the main material plane becomes a "real" existence completely constructed by magic. What if the same principle is applied to ingredients? With the real "food" as the core, and then use magic to weave and project a food rich in magic but without any impurities.

Immediately after returning to Demon King City from a desert island, Epova began her experiments in the royal dining room.

There is a subtle connection between magic cuisine and alchemy, and as an excellent chef, Epova also has some research in alchemy, but there is still a big gap compared to the alchemists of the Royal Academy. In order to solve this research project, Epova sought out Pierce, an alchemist from the Alchemy Research Department of the Royal Academy.

Alchemy Research Department, inside Pierce's Institute.

The shelves on the walls are lined with all sorts of alchemical items, and the blackboard behind the desk is full of traces of writing. Pierce, a petite halfling alchemist dressed in loose mage robes, sat on a huge floating crystal ball and looked at Epova.

"Infusing magic into food? I don't think it's a good idea. You should know that the magic power in each magic material is subtly different, and if you inject magic into the magic material, it will definitely affect the properties of the material itself, and eventually have unpredictable consequences. Pierce wasn't optimistic about Apova's idea.

Epova: "No, no, no. Instead of simply injecting, like monsters and phantoms, they use food as a material to summon a new food made of pure magic. ”

"Monsters?" Pierce touched his chin and his eyes lit up, "What an interesting idea." ”

"Do you think it's possible?"

"I don't know, but it's worth trying."

"Great~ So what do we do next?"

"Hmm...... First of all, we should build the theory first. I think it's a good idea, but how to do it needs to be discussed. ”

In the Demon King Castle, because of Epova, a research project on new magical cuisine has begun in the research institute. However, this is just one of many research projects for the entire research institute. Because the Demon King is particularly "favored" by the research institute, the researchers of the research institute have a high degree of freedom and authority, and they can study everything they are interested in and want to study, and their only restriction is only one - funding!

At present, one of the most well-funded research projects in the research institute is a research project proposed by the Navy Headquarters and approved by the Demon King: the new magic guide naval ship Niang construction plan, referred to as the "Ship Niang Project".

The results of the first phase of the Ship Girl Project have appeared in the Navy, and it has been fully demonstrated to Green several times, proving the value of this research project to the Demon King, and this has also made the funding of the "Ship Girl Project" research project fully supported. At this time, the second phase of the research project of the "Ship Girl Project" finally came to fruition.

……

There is a huge lake below the floating island where the Demon King City is located, and on the shore of the lake, a group of researchers in mage robes are helping a petite ship lady Lori to put on the ship girl armament.

The new armament is a mechanical magic-style shield, and the huge and heavy shield is full of edges and lines, giving people a heavy feeling just by looking at it.

"How does it feel?" A researcher asked Lori, the ship's mother.

"The weight is okay." Ship Niang Lori weighed the shield in her hand, "But I don't know when I get into the water." ”

The ship's mother Lori is wearing a thin swimsuit and holding a shield larger than her body in her hand, giving people a strong contrast and cuteness.

"Let's try it in the water. See if it sinks. The researchers motioned for Lori to go into the water.

Under the guidance of the researchers, Lori picked up her shield and walked into the lake next to her. The water rippled under her feet, and Lori stood firmly on the water.

On the shore of the lake, a researcher said: "Try running on the water and see if it sinks when you run?" ”

"Okay~" Little Lori held her shield and ran quickly on the lake. The water was rippling, and the ship's mother ran steadily on the water as if she were walking on the ground.

"Ensign Amalia, how are you feeling? Is there any instability? On the shore, the researchers asked the running ship's mother.

"It's okay." Little Lori said loudly, "It feels very stable when you run. ”

Whether it is a ship or a ship, the load-bearing capacity is limited, once it is overweight, not only the speed will be reduced, but in serious cases, it will even capsize or even sink directly. The demon ship girls all take the route of traveling lightly, and their bodies are basically "armorless", which allows the demon ship girls to use more weight in other aspects - such as heavier, stronger, and more powerful weapons. At this time, the ship's mother Lori tested such a "new equipment".

After testing the weight of the new equipment, the researchers began testing the power of the new equipment.

"Second Lieutenant Amalia, please move to the artillery target! Next, we're going to test our defenses! The researcher held the bullhorn and shouted loudly to the ship's mother Lori.

"Yes!" Lori soon came to a buoy in the middle of the lake.

On the shore, several magic cannons of various types aimed their muzzles at the ship's mother Lori standing in the water.

Researcher: "Defense tests against the Type III Ship Girl's special shield, start now!" Prepare for the Magic Artillery Strike! ”

The magic cannon placed on the riverbank began to charge.

Researcher: "Frigate unfurls!" ”

The ship's mother Lori took the shield and aimed it in the direction of the magic cannon: "The shield is deployed!" ”

In front of the ship's mother Lori, the already huge shield suddenly began to deform and became even more huge! At the same time, layers of force field shields appeared in front of the shield......

"Bang! ~Bang! ~Bang! ~"The magic cannon on the shore fired, and various cannonballs smashed on the shield, causing the force field shield on the shield to produce ripples.

At the same time, the sea behind the ship girl Lori boiled, as if it had been hit by a huge force, but the ship girl Lori itself did not suffer any damage, and all the shelling was blocked by the shield in the hand of the ship girl Lori.

Researcher: "Second Lieutenant Amalia, don't disarm your defensive stance, the next wave is a second wave of attacks!" ”

Ship's Lady Lori: "Obey!" ”

The test of the ship's new armament was in full swing, and at the same time, Green was sitting in the study in the Demon King City, and Green was looking at a document with a grim face.

Now, most of the work in the Demon King's domain has been lost by Green to the people below, and Green has completely become a hands-off shopkeeper, and there are not many documents that can force Green to sit back in the office and deal with it. And the document in front of him is one of the very few documents that can only be handled by Green......

"Wow...... The United Kingdom of the East, that's a little too much. Green looked at the documents in his hand and felt a little unhappy, "It's just a land border, what the hell is this sea border?" It's almost to my doorstep! Those elves don't like to go to the sea, is it interesting that the sea circle is so big? Are they really going to negotiate? ”

This "document that only the Demon King can handle" is a report on the "Siram Conference".

Siram is a dwarven city-state in the Frost Fang Mountains, a city-state on the border between the Kingdom of Mona and the United Kingdom of the East, as well as one of the windows of communication between the Kingdom of Mona and the United Kingdom of the East.

Not long ago, Grimm captured a group of elves of the Republic of Woodonasseh. Later, in the name of "discussing the ransom of the captives and the border line of the kingdom", Green took the initiative to invite the Elven Republic of Woodonasseh, the Kingdom of the High Elves, the Elven Kingdom of Haverella, the Kingdom of the Dwarves of Reitra and other forces to hold a negotiation meeting at the border to discuss the border demarcation between the Eastern United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Mona.

The meeting was held in the dwarf city-state of Silam, and after preliminary negotiations between the two sides, the demon representatives sent back to the country the request for the territorial division of the countries of the Eastern United Kingdom.

But after seeing the border division of the Eastern United Kingdom, Grimm was laughed at - almost every border line was pushed to the side of the Mona Kingdom, and the sea border line was directly pushed to Green's doorstep! The person who drew this border line is too shameless, right!?

Seeing the map in his hand, Green felt a little unhappy. Although those borders on land have also advanced a lot to the side of the Mona Kingdom, at least they are not too outrageous, what the hell is this border on the sea!?

"Alice, what do you think we should do about this?" Green tapped on the papers on the table and looked up at the Minister of Administration standing in the study.

"Don't sign for the time being, don't admit it." Alice paused, "Although we have a good army, the navy is not strong, which is why those elves are so emboldened to draw the border line like this." What we need to do now is to work hard to develop our navy, and only then can the two sides truly sit down at the negotiating table on an equal footing and negotiate. ”

"Put aside the controversy and develop the Navy?" Green listened to the faint sound of cannon fire outside the window and smashed his mouth, "This thing in the Navy is a bit of a money-burning thing." ”

Monster cannon fodder doesn't need money, just equip a little weapon, and you can pull it out and be reckless, but the navy ...... There are almost no magic nodes in the sea for monsters to march, and the monster fish people under Green's command can basically only operate in the coastal areas, and it is not a big problem to hold the coastal areas, but if you want to expand, then you still have to develop a regular navy and train ship girls.
