Lilia's footsteps stopped in the doorway, and after a few seconds, the oak door was pushed open, and a slender figure caught Victor's eyes.

She wore an orange spider silk dress, stepping on calfskin heels of the same color, highlighting the smooth and feminine curves, her hair was coiled into an elegant bun, revealing a snow-white long neck, her face was covered with a red veil that covered the part below her eyes, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Victor with shame and joy, with a little coquettish resentment.

After more than six months of separation, Lilia misses Victor very much, but she wants to show her husband the best of herself, but Victor wants to summon her at this time...... I can't wait a few more months before my teeth grow, it's really infuriating.

"Come and sit down, my dear. Victor smiled and patted his thigh.

Lilia is petite and usually likes to sit on Victor's lap the most. When she saw her husband's kind smile, her heart was sweet, and she walked over with bewitching steps, sat down with her arms around Victor's neck, turned her face sideways, and pleaded softly: "Don't take off my ......veil, dear."

Victor almost laughed out loud, with his extraordinary eyesight, the black veil on Lilia's face was nothing, but considering the little woman's self-esteem, he chose not to say anything...... Well, if you want to win the favor of ladies, you must first learn to take care of their mood.

Gently kneading Lilia's smooth and well-proportioned calves, Victor chuckled in a low voice: "Honey, I haven't seen you for a few months, your legs have become longer, your skin has become more delicate and tender, and your bust has become larger...... Your eyes, in particular, are as clear and pure as a baby's eyes...... Baby, you look so beautiful. ”

Lilia's eyes suddenly bent into crescent moons, and she asked happily, "Really?"

"It's true. Victor nodded in affirmation.

"That's good......" Lilia breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a coquettish voice: "You don't know how painful it is when I reshape my body? The bones and muscles of my whole body are strained and torn apart little by little, it hurts and itchy, I want to move but can't move, I want to die but can't die, and my mind is still very clear...... Thankfully, it was all worth it, but I never wanted to go through it a second time. ”

Victor tightened his arms around Lilia's waist as a sign of comfort, and asked, "Then how did you survive?"

Lilia thought for a moment and said slowly, "It hurts at first, but when I get to the back, I don't feel it anymore." It was as if my soul had been replaced by a white-gold spark, and then I was freed from my confinement and was able to move freely within my body, adjusting the healing of my muscles and bones according to my wishes......" She suddenly blushed and said aggrievedly: "I want my bones to be harder and my muscles stronger...... Preferably, a little higher nose, longer legs, and a little bigger chest...... When I had used all my strength, I fell asleep. How do I know that reshaping my body will change my teeth?"

There is a saying among Chinese people that pregnant women will be beautiful when they look at the photos of beautiful babies, and the babies they give birth to will be beautiful. There is no scientific basis for this statement, but it represents the good wishes of parents. However, the mood of the expectant mother is closely related to the hormone levels in the body, and the mood can indeed affect the development and health of the fetus.

In the history of human civilization on earth, there have always been two completely different philosophical concepts, materialism and idealism. But no one denies the powerful drive of subjective aspirations. For example, the allegorical story of Huaguo - Yugong moving mountains is a typical wish to create miracles. The majestic Great Wall built by the ancestors of China is a miracle in reality. If you give a specific example, those frozen age goddesses and bodybuilders are all out of their own strong desires, pay the unbearable price of ordinary people, and finally realize their wishes.

Dare to think and dare to do, where there is a will, there is a way. In fact, this is the basic application of the power of the mind by the human beings on the earth, and from this it has derived a variety of civilization achievements. Some have become real science, such as the spaceship landing on the moon, and some have become mythological fantasies, such as the secret form of the golden toad, which pursues the unity of heaven and man, and has long vision.

The laws of another world are different from those of Earth. Black technology such as aircraft cannons, Victor doesn't need to think about it, but the Golden Toad Secret Form may really be useful.

In this world, the power of the mind is directed to the transcendent. It can make Lilia young and beautiful, Nelson strong as an ox and become one with mind and body, Turnans can foresee danger and even distort the mental senses of opponents, Emerson can change the soul and body structure of animals, Bertina will be favored by luck, Father Miller can save the dying, and Sylvia can kill an ordinary person with a single look.

The power of the mind has infinite possibilities, and it is divided into three realms: the fire of the heart, the touch of the heart, and the light of the heart. Turnans, who has mastered the touch of the heart, is already the top powerhouse of the human race, and he is groping for the realm of the light of the heart. That is obviously the legendary Sage Realm that can compete with the Divine Knight.

In other words, the Sanctuary is certainly within the reach of humans.

Victor was encouraged by this conclusion.

Strictly speaking, the Golden Toad Secret Form also belongs to the secret method of exercising the power of the mind, and the ultimate realm it describes is precisely the light of the soul.

Victor insisted on practicing the Golden Toad Secret Form, but there was no breakthrough. This may be due to the difference in the laws of the world, the secret form of the Golden Toad needs to be modified, or it may be due to the elven bloodline, or X-3.

However, the fact that the Alchemy Tower is able to generate the Golden Toad Secret Form skill is enough to illustrate its value and potential.

Alchemy humans can't cultivate the Golden Toad Secret Form, and the popular archer has encountered a bottleneck, which doesn't mean that the Golden Toad Secret Form is ineffective against ordinary humans or knights...... If I learn from other people's cultivation results and improve the Golden Toad Secret Form, can I also reach the realm of Spiritual Light? Even if the effect of the Golden Toad Secret Form is artificially exaggerated, it may be able to ignite the spiritual fire of cultivators! In case, Nelson uses this to reach the realm of Spiritual Touch, then I will make a lot of money...... The more Victor thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to immediately gather the little dead soldiers secretly raised by his family to form a "Golden Toad Secret Form Training Camp".

Seeing Victor's eyebrows fluttering, Lilia couldn't help but laugh coquettishly: "Honey, you look even happier than me." ”

The secret form of the golden toad is very important, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. Victor wasn't even ready to share the secret with Sylvia. Lilia is just an ordinary person, and she can't participate in the experiment until it comes to fruition.

Victor gathered his thoughts, turned his attention to Lilia, put his lips to her ear, and chuckled in a low voice, "Of course...... Tonight, you accompany me. ”

Lilia was startled, and just wanted to object, but when she saw Victor's handsome face and eyes that concealed tenderness, her heart suddenly hit like a deer, she lowered her head, and said expectantly: "That...... That can't light a candle. ”

For popular shooters, what difference does it make to light a candle or not?

Victor was secretly amused, nodded, changed the subject and asked, "How did I do the few things I explained before leaving?"

Lilia cleared her throat and said, "In January and February of last year's water season, I mobilized more than 30,000 young and strong employees to reclaim and plant 80,000 mu of wheat and 100,000 mu of potatoes on the east side of the Yinyue River. Nine large farms were built, accommodating more than 8,500 displaced people. Bishop Perro expressed his satisfaction with the kindness of the Randall family. ”

"We currently have 280,000 acres of wheat fields, 300,000 acres of potato fields and 300,000 acres of fallow land. The terraces are not counted. ”

Victor sighed, "Finally the land on the east bank of the Silvermoon River has been developed, as long as there is a ring canal and a settlement, the rest will be easy...... Well done. ”

Randall's arable land is mainly concentrated on the west side of the Silvermoon River. There are still large tracts of undeveloped land on the east side of the Silvermoon River. With the construction of the ring canal, Randall's population and farms were able to expand to the east bank of the river. It is estimated that within five years, the area of cultivated land in Randall's territory will exceed 2 million mu. According to the three-year rotation system, 2 million acres of arable land can support at least 600,000 people, almost half of the registered population of the Kingdom of Gambis.

"A castle and a small town need to be built on the east bank. Lilia reminded softly.

"This ...... There will be. Aren't we short of stones to build castles now? Wait a little longer, and the iron bricks will soon be available. Victor waved his hand in a headache. It costs a lot of money to build a castle, and if he has this money, he might as well produce a few more alchemy dragon lizards.

"Then you can build a small town first. Honey, will you give it a name......" Lilia said reluctantly.

Victor thought for a moment and said, "How about calling Dongqu Town?"

"It's good. Lilia smiled and nodded, and said, "Lord Boris of the Solim family, that is, the father of Brandon and Shirley......"

Victor interrupted Lilia's words and emphasized, "Boris is not Brandon and Shirley's father now, and he will not be. Those two children belonged to the Randall family. ”

"I was wrong. Lilia said in Victor's tone, "The heir of the Solimm family, Lord Boris, in accordance with the agreement signed with you, sold 80 tons of softsilver ore to Pinghu Town at the price of stone. It takes a lot of charcoal to process these ores, so I ordered an additional 400 tons of charcoal from the Clover Chamber of Commerce. ”

"It's really troublesome to transport so many supplies to Pinghu Town for processing. I propose to build a freight yard and a stone yard in Dongqu Town. The softsilver ore was processed into pieces and then transported back to Pinghu Town to build the town's interior walls. ”

Victor wanted to laugh out loud at the moment. 80 tons of Thorium ore can refine at least 800 pounds of first-class pure Thorium, which can make 400 sets of Thorsilver cavalry equipment. The Alchemy Tower costs 120 gold soles per pound for a class of silver, but its actual value is much greater than that. Once the Human Kingdom begins to use Thorite equipment, the price of Thorium Ore may be comparable to Pure Gold Ore. And the silver mine sold by the Solim family to Victor was 30 gold soles per tonne.

"Just do as you say. Victor said.

Lilia glanced sideways at Victor and continued, "Three months ago, Master Yukal, the Warrior of Judgment, led 104 missionaries to Pinghu Town. These missionaries will serve as teachers at Randall's General Education School......"

Victor sensed Lilia's faint resentment, frowned and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"Nothing is a problem. Lilia smiled gently and said, "According to the statistics of the Pinghu Town Government Office, there are a total of 8,766 children between the ages of 4 and 8 in Randall and Phoenix, and more than 20 general education schools need to be built. Then we had to pay for the children's food and lodging, as well as the missionaries' annual salaries. ”

Seeing this, Lilia stretched out her little hand to Victor and spit out lightly: "Give me money." ”

Victor hesitated and asked, "This...... Is there no money in the family coffers?"

"There is still 170,000 gold soles in the coffers. Lilia sighed, shook her head and said, "It takes money to build Dongqu Town, it takes money to mine soft silver ore and charcoal, it takes money to burn ore, it takes money to repair the inner walls of Pinghu Town, and it takes money to build a general education school...... Also, you promised the church to bear the cost of building the cathedral in Pinghu Town. Father Miller is now chasing me every day and asking, when will the cathedral begin?Oh yes, Nelson came to me yesterday and said something, the Randall family is about to fight the Fishman War, and the commissions of the soldiers participating in the war will be doubled......" Lilia raised her voice and sneered: "Hehe, the commissions of the 3,800 soldiers have been doubled?

Victor's head was as big as a bucket, and he said cautiously, "That should be enough...... Otherwise, I still have some here, and I can take it out in case of emergency?"

"How many?" asked Lilia, squinting at Victor.

"8000 gold soles. ”

Victor decisively reported a fraction. The private money of 160,000 gold soles in his hand was used to feed the alchemy pagoda.

"You can keep it. Lilia snorted and said with a sad face: "The money in the treasury can still be supported, but our financial income is decreasing. If this continues, I'm worried that I won't be able to make ends meet......" She raised her head, stared into Victor's eyes, and said seriously: "The main canal of Randall Lord is through, and the management of the green bricks has been handed over to Jinshui City...... Our jaggery used to sell for 6 copper soles a pound, but now it is sold to the Two-Headed Lizard Chamber of Commerce for only 4 copper soles, and the market price of the raw sugar has increased by 30 percent! In addition to the raw sugar, Randall's wagons, pork, beef and mutton, canvas, linen, bristle brushes, sheepskins, soap, straw paper, and other commodities are all sold to the Two-Headed Lizard Chamber of Commerce at a lower price. Last year, our fiscal revenue was 93,000 gold soles, and the sales revenue of raw sugar was 63,000 gold soles. I am afraid that this year's fiscal revenue will not exceed 70,000 yuan. ”

Victor suddenly realized, and asked with a smile: "Do you think we have suffered a loss by joining the Two-Headed Lizard Chamber of Commerce?"

Lilia didn't say a word, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"It's a lucky thing to suffer, and all my efforts are to have the ability to suffer. Victor said with emotion.

Lilia looked at her husband in confusion and reached out to stroke his forehead...... I don't have a fever.

Victor grabbed Lilia's soft and smooth little hand and said with a smile: "You can take 'loss' as the ability to bear risks, and of course it is a good thing to be able to bear risks...... Five years ago, we were so poor that we couldn't afford to lose. When you are poor, you must starve to death!Therefore, when Lady Sylvia showed a little rumor that she wanted to raise the price of grain, I went to the door in a rage and made an agreement with Rose Manor on the exchange of purple cane wine for food supplies. Now, hehe, no one can force me to give in by raising the price of food. This is the Randall family's ability to bear the 'loss'!"

"At the beginning, when the centaur hills were building water conservancy projects, the Rose Manor couldn't get a single copper sol. The lord of the House of York then agreed to cede the Brick franchise to Randall's Lordship. However, the profits of such things as green bricks are completely different from those sold later! The Randall family first sold green bricks, repaired canals and reservoirs, and took advantage of it. But the other lords of the Centaur Hills are still having a hard time, like our old friend Bruce, whose annual net income is only 5,000 gold soles, and that's not counting the 6,000 gold soles annuity that the Duke of York gave him. ”

"A grasshopper on a rope, no matter how strong a single person is, can't jump far. It stands to reason that we should all make our peers rich, otherwise they will hold us back. ”

"It turns out that Bruce is so poor......" Lilia stuck out her tongue shyly and said coquettishly, "Honey, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong." ”

Victor shook his head and smiled, and said: "When you really have the ability to suffer, it will be difficult to suffer!"

"Why?" asked Lilia, curious.

Victor said lightly: "You have the ability to suffer, then no one dares to let you suffer in vain." Unless he can beat you to death with a stick...... With his wasted energy, he might as well befriend you. On the contrary, those who can't afford to suffer losses will have no scruples, but their ability is not worth mentioning, if they really dare to show their teeth and claws to you, then they will be beaten to death with a stick. ”

"Isn't that how the Chebman family has to do with us?"

Lilia sneered, her veil fluttering, she quickly covered her veil and smiled deliciously: "The eldest lady of the Chebman family is now your lover." ”

Victor laughed, "We and the Chebman family are also grasshoppers on a rope. We can't stop the ant tide, and the Chebman family will be unlucky...... Let's talk about the two-headed lizard chamber of commerce. ”

"The Two-Headed Lizard Chamber of Commerce is engaged in unified procurement and purchasing, and as the majority shareholder of the Chamber of Commerce, we also benefit. We don't sell bricks right now, but any lord of the House of York sells bricks to our share. We gave up the profits of the raw sugar, but the profits of the purple cane wine came back. The York family is about to sell fine iron, which is another considerable income...... You see, when the dividends are paid at the end of the year, the Duke of York will surprise us. The Randall family's financial income in the future is only a lot more!"

Lilia was overjoyed, nodded vigorously, and said, "Honey, you're right...... In addition to the Two-Headed Lizard Chamber of Commerce, we also have the Golden Regiment. ”

"Golden Regiment ......" Victor touched his nose and said with a strange expression: "The Golden Regiment has also changed...... You go and call Nelson, Barrett, Barroll, and Todd, and we're talking about the Golden Regiment specifically. ”

"No! I don't want to see them......" Lilia was startled, and quickly got up from Victor's lap and walked out of the study. Before going out, she smiled back and said in a soft voice, "Tonight, you tell me alone." ”
