Chapter 168: Benefits for Fani
"Lunge and bend your knees, and slash with your sword in both hands!"
"Concentrate, what do you think?"
In the training room on the top floor of the main mansion at the Marquis de la Marquis de Lorraine, No. 17 Rudysia Street, the tall and straight Charles is taking his sister Oliv, who is less than 1.5 meters old, to do knightly basic training.
"Charles, why haven't you gone out for a stroll these days, you haven't taken money home for a long time, I'm curious, you said that you made money by dispensing medicines, but where did your materials come from, and how did you sell the finished medicines?"
The tiny Olive brandished a large sword that was completely out of harmony with her body, and did a standard lunge slash, spitting out three or four questions in a row with her small mouth.
"Our weapons factory is about to start, and I'm working on improving gunpowder, but how do I make it and sell it?
Charles was reluctant to tell Olive how busy he was at night, and he had to dispense potions for Bourne, and he had to sort out the spiritual power of the little tiger cat boots, and he had to analyze the mysteries of the spiritual power potion from the knowledge stardust given by Her Majesty, and he had to start improving the basic training routines that were being taught to the little girl, and it was very normal to be lazy in the daytime to make up for sleep.
As for researching and improving gunpowder, it was not a matter at all, the best formula for black powder Charles knew, and he had also learned the basic material refining techniques in chemistry class, except for a small accident in the process of finding a suitable binder, the rest had already been clear.
Black powder is most powerful when it is made into granules, but this requires the right binder, egg white is the easiest and easiest binder, but the cost is still too high, and now Charles is looking for a suitable replacement, but in the process, he found that adding diluted explosive agent to gunpowder can greatly enhance the speed of gunpowder detonation and increase the power of explosion, but this gunpowder already belongs to the category of luxury.
"Humph!"
As soon as the clever little girl heard it, she knew that Charles was perfunctory to her, and she snorted angrily and waved her big sword, pouting and saying: "If you don't say it, I know that it is that Bern guy who is running errands for you, and in the end he is not going to go the way of the black market, and if he doesn't tell me, it's not something unseemly." ”
Charles's expression was calm, he knew that there must be people who would guess how his potion preparation level had improved, but I just didn't admit it or deny it, you all went and guessed!
"Olive is adding an hour of basic training today!"
“.........”
The little girl pursed her lips and didn't say anything, the steps under her feet and the long sword in her hand were still moving one by one.
Charles lazily put his long sword on the weapon rack, sat in the corner of the training room and drank tea leisurely, watching the little girl who was "beaten and beaten" by himself sweating and practicing hard.
Charles has taken Olive to practice a few times, and I have to say that this little girl has really worked hard, her small body has honed a lot of strength, and the knight's basic swordsmanship is also very standard, and it can even be called "proficient".
Taking advantage of the spiritual power vision, Charles improved the basic training swordsmanship of the warrior system according to the flow of spiritual power in the body, although it is a little more difficult than the basic training in the authentic inheritance, but it can make the flow of spiritual power in the body smoother.
Although it was the first time for Olive to have been exposed to Charles' improved training methods, she showed great adaptability and did everything she could.
What's more, the little girl's will is much tougher than Charles expected, pain and fatigue never show on her, even if Charles is demanding, she just grits her teeth and insists, and the elf eccentricity she usually faces when facing other problems is simply like two people.
After a full hour, Olive neatly put her sword away, and then took the towel handed by Charles to wipe the sweat off her face.
Sweat dripping down my hair.
"Charles, Sister Fani will be here this afternoon. ”
"Hmm!"
Charles replied softly, indicating that he understood.
Olive hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The reason why Sister Fani refused to be the executive director of our new factory a few days ago is because of her father's problem, after all, her father's character ...... Something special, she may be afraid of affecting our new factory......"
"Oh, anyway, she said yes, didn't she?"
"Anyway....... You have to watch out for Viscount Mayo!" Olive saw that Charles didn't care, so she had to give Charles a wake-up call from the side.
Fani's father, Viscount Mayo, is well-known in the royal aristocratic circles, and as long as you have a little relationship with him, he promises to make you doubt your life.
I think that the Marquis of Lorraine paid a lot of money for the marriage between Charles and Fani, and it also made Viscount Mayo's waist stiffen, but it has only been a few years, and it is said that he has started to borrow again, and Olive Live, who is good at mathematics, has carefully calculated, but he has not figured out how his money is spent.
Now that the new weapons factory is about to go into production, Charles has hired Lord Fani to be Charles' agent, and both Fani and Olive are worried that Viscount Mayo will make some strange noise.
Charles really doesn't care, he is angry with the royal family now, if that Viscount Mayo is honest, Charles may call him a father-in-law in the future, and send him something during the New Year's holidays.
If he dared to use Fani and himself as a cash cow, Charles wouldn't mind sending him to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and Beceline, who liked tabby powder for anything, promised to change his hat every day.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Fani's carriage finally drove into the gate of Charles's house, and Charles, who was standing upstairs looking out of the window, also turned cold.
Charles' carriage was still the same old one, but the horse that pulled it had been replaced by the same old horse that Charles had lost when he first met her.
A county lord with royal blood can't be too shabby, Charles quietly changed her carriage for two high-quality horses, which were two four-year-old North Sea Norton horses, worth at least a few hundred gold louis, but now it's only been a few days, how can they be changed back?
Remembering the precedent that Fani's personal maid was often borrowed and used by her stepmother, Charles had a preliminary judgment in her mind.
Charles stayed upstairs for ten minutes, estimating that Olive and Fani had completed their initial communication, before slowly walking down the stairs.
"Hey, Fani, I see you're in a good mood today, do you have anything to be happy about?
“........”
Fani looked at a smiling Charles, unsure if he was making fun of herself.
Which eye do you have to see that I look good? Let me share a ...... with you !
"Today I am in a terrible mood, Beseline said that my father's carriage was too old to fit his status as a royal minister, so I wanted to get some face from the horse that pulled the cart, so I borrowed the two Norton horses you gave me for a few days, and returned them to me after the New Year's banquet was ......"
Fani finished speaking very calmly, and then looked at Charles very calmly and said: "I think you should think about your decision again, I am not married yet, after all, my surname is Augustine......."
Charles' eyes lit up, and Fani's words, though calm, showed for the first time that she was not submissive to her father.
On the mainland, a woman who marries will take her husband's surname, which means that if Fani marries Charles, she can be called Fani Chevalier Augustine, and then the Augustine family will not have much binding power on her, because she is already a member of the Chevalier family.
"Actually, I think you should accept my invitation, our new factory has benefits for managers!"
Charles walked over, gently took Fani's hand, and looked her in the eye affectionately.
"For example, a carriage reserved for Director Fani for the convenience of work is the kind that cannot be lent to others for personal use!"
