Chapter 19: Back to New York and the New Servant
"Master, now you have been gone for three months. The outside world has gone crazy. β
"Have three months passed? I didn't expect time to pass so quickly with a little care. β
Alan spent three months on the castle island, and for three months, she had been enchanting inscriptions brick by brick on the island every day, and half of the energy of the gem cube had been consumed, but it was worth it. When the current castle activates the defensive magic, even if Ai Lan himself uses a spell for three days, it will not be broken, but the protective Ai Lan who instantly produces force is not sure. Alan didn't want to experiment with his castle with meteorites when the consciousness of this world was not completely shielded.
"Sarah? What's going on out there now? Ai Lan floated on the ground, charging the gem and inquiring about the situation in the outside world.
"Master, your sudden disappearance caused our stock price to plummet, and some people speculated that the board of directors had placed you under house arrest, and some people speculated that you had been kidnapped by terrorists. There is any speculation. β
"Poor imagination." Ai Lan pursed the corners of her lips.
"What did you say?"
"Old Blake said you were just going out to travel and embrace nature."
"That's a good reason, I'm going to disappear for a month." Ai Lan finished charging the gems, and the huge gems floated in the air with a buzzing sound. "Sure enough, the purple color of the arcane is the most beautiful."
"Sarah, what's going on with the candidates?"
"It's ready, your new butler, your new secretary, your new servant, your new bodyguard. Everything is ready to go. β
"Okay, I'll be back in a month."
"Yes, master."
Ailan turned off the communication, and the communication gem was casually thrown into the storage space by Ailan. I'm going to have to find a new place to make a 'Merlin Legacy' in the next month, or I really can't explain how my power came from.
Parchment rolls, parchment rolls, or parchment rolls Ai Lan poured all the parchment rolls in the space to the ground, piling up a small mountain. It is about three meters tall and can already reach the top of the cave. "Get the scroll right first." Ailan's emerald green eyes turned purple, a condition in which arcane magic can be used to its limits. Ai Lan raised his hands and sweat appeared on his forehead, and at this time, Ai Lan planned to complete the production of all the scrolls at once. The scrolls floated in the air, each swinging at a specific frequency, emitting a faint purple light, bright and dazzling.
Whew-Ai Lan let out a long breath, over
It's done. Ai Lan raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Raising his left hand and shaking it in the air, he took the crimson potion in his hand, which was a potion made from blood thistle and tranquility flower, and Ai Lan drank it to relieve the discomfort of casting spells.
Ai Lan gently stepped on the ground, and the earth and stones in the cave formed bookshelves, tables and chairs, and a low bed under Ai Lan's mana. With a wave of his hand, the parchment scrolls fell to the bookshelf in turn, arranged from left to right, respectively, spells, enchantments, inscriptions, and alchemy. The shelves are engraved with a wide variety of inscriptions, ranging from simple dusting to complex burglar protection. Most of the knowledge on the scrolls is in Salas, and only a small part is in Old English, such as some alchemy and sorcery.
Satisfied with her results, Ailan looked up and saw what was missing. Ai Lan carved a circle into the surrounding walls, reinforcing them. "By the way, the ground and above, too." Ai Lan thought to herself.
The cave shone brightly, and Ai Lan completed the creation of the 'Merlin Legacy'. Next, it's time to go back, and this thing should be about to come in handy. Ai Lan stood at the entrance of the cave, set up a magic circle, and then used teleportation to leave the new island.
"Teleportation is really convenient." Ai Lan thought to herself. However, Ailan, who was lying on the bed, decided to go back again in the next second, but before going back, she had to inform Hannah and ask Hannah to send a boat to pick her up. Eh.R. was going to let S.H.I.E.L.D. see how she had come back and let them know something to be in line with Elan's expectations. Elan, back to the island in the Atlantic Ocean, waited for Hannah to send a ship to meet her.
As soon as Ai Lan got off the boat, he was surrounded by the media who heard the news, and every reporter was like a shark that had seen blood, regardless of everything, raising the microphone in his hand.
"Miss Phoenix, can you tell us more about your journey over the past few months?"
"Miss Phoenix, where did you go on your journey so you could tell us about it?"
"Some people say you're being illegally imprisoned, Miss Phoenix, is that true?"
The bodyguards beside Ai Lan dutifully separated the reporters, but the reporters still did not give up, and squeezed forward desperately, shouting non-stop: "Miss Phoenix, Miss Phoenix!" β
Ai Lan stopped and said to the reporters: "First of all, I am very grateful for your concern for me, I can only tell you that I was not kidnapped and placed under house arrest as some people guessed. I'm just traveling. β
After Ai Lan finished speaking, he smiled slightly and looked elegant and generous, sat directly in the car, the bodyguards separated the reporters, and the car left the port smoothly.
Ai Lan returned to the villa, looked at Hannah waiting at the gate and said, "The progress of the laboratory seems to be going well. β
"Yes, master."
"Go to my study and say, the door is not a good place to talk."
In the study, Ai Lan leaned on the back of the wide chair, took a sip of the Ningshen flower tea on the table, the tired spirit was a little better, and the high-intensity spell casting on the island was also a tiring thing for Ai Lan now, and now Ai Lan's head was still sore from time to time.
Alan put down her teacup and leaned back, leaning back in her broad chair, waiting for Hannah's news.
Hannah looked a little excited, "Master, the laboratory has successfully produced the 'Troll Blood', and we have replaced all the materials of the medicine, so we can completely eliminate the use of your herbs, Master, and we have found a replacement." β
"How's it going?"
"The effect of pure herbal substitution can reach about 70% of the original version, chemical substitution can reach about 80%, and the mixing of the two can reach 85%."
"How much does it cost?"
"The cost of a bottle of pure herbs is 5,000, the cost of chemistry is 8,000, and the cost of mixing is 10,000."
Ai Lan blinked, "So, how big does your bottle refer to?" β
"A bottle of 200 ml."
"We only sell mixed ones, priced at 50,000 bottles, and have old Black contact the military, and if those intelligence agencies are interested, we sell them to them. The new recipe is to be kept secret. β
"Yes, master. I'll go back first. β
Ai Lan nodded, and Hannah bowed to Ai Lan and carefully closed the door of the study and left Ai Lan's villa.
The news of Phoenix's first release of the new drug quickly spread throughout the United States, and after seeing the efficacy of the drug, the military ordered 500 bottles, while the intelligence services seemed to be very cautious and ordered 100 bottles.
Ai Lan looked at the order list, "It would be nice if the price was at a fixed high point, didn't 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' order?" Ai Lan closed the manifest.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Laboratory 7 -
"Team Leader Kane, I can't believe that this potion is far more effective at healing wounds than our 'PT-7'. It only takes fifteen seconds for surface wounds, one minute for deep wounds to heal, and for gunshot wounds, as long as the bullet is removed, the agent can heal within thirty seconds to one minute. β
"Dunn, you'll give the report to the Director in a moment, and I'll try to crack down on the potion."
"Okay, team leader."
As the report was submitted, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury soon saw the 'Troll Blood' potion evaluation report on the intranet.
"Phoenixβ" Nick Fury thought.
"Inquiry - Phoenix Corporation."
"Inquiry, please waitβ" A female electronic voice rang out in Nick Fury's office. "Inquiry completeβ" Nick Fury rubbed his temples as he looked at the dense information on the screen, "and it looks like he's going to work overtime again." He smiled self-deprecatingly. Only he knows when he, Nick Fury, got off work.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
PhewβNick Fury exhaled deeply, picked up the cold coffee on the table, and drank it down, his red eyes proving that he was tired. Nick Fury leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and quietly analyzed Phoenix in his head.
"Pharmaceuticals, pharmacies all over the country, independent R&D, multinational companies, products are exported overseas, and have a certain influence in the upper echelons and the military. It's like Stark in a drug company. Nick Fury thought to himself.
Ai Lan sat up from the large, soft bed, and next to the bed stood Rena, who was already waiting. Ai Lan rubbed her eyes, gathered her hair behind her ears, and gently stroked her long ears with her hand, and the light of the spell flashed, and the long ears turned into round, smooth short ears.
"What, you're going to dress me today?" Ai Lan laughed at Rena: "Why is it so early?" β
"Master, bring someone here, do you want to try it?"
Ai Lan sat on the bed, paused for a moment, and then remembered, "New servant?" β
"Yes, master."
Ai Lan nodded, raised her arms high, and stretched out a big lazy waist.
"Come in." Rena's voice at this time was different from the usual voice in front of Ailan, full of majesty and love. The bedroom door was gently pushed open, and the four teenage girls entered Ailan's bedroom.
"Hello Miss!" The girls screamed coquettishly, and the uniform voices and bows in unison made Ai Lan feel very comfortable. Ai Lan looked at them, their faces full of excitement and pride, nervousness and unease.
"Yes." Ai Lan simply replied, and thought in her heart at this time: "Rena has a hand, it seems that she should have been trained since childhood." β
"Miss, we'll serve you to dress." The brown-red-haired girl had an inquiring tone, clutching the white dress that Ai Lan was going to wear.
The four girls took clothes and jewelry to dress up Ai Lan beautifully, Ai Lan was very satisfied with them, and said to Reina, who was standing aside, "They are good, stay." β
When the girls heard this, they showed a happy look, and Ai Lan was also very happy to see it with a bright expression. "Yes." Reyna replied briefly.
