The Erlenmeyer flask is half white and semi-gelatinous, looking like milk, but milk is never as difficult to flow as it is. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Dale, do you think that Earl William is going to find some mess to fool me?" Shilinya kept shaking such a bottle, and the unknown liquid inside was always shaking faster than the shaking speed of his hand.

"Uh...... I don't know, but it looks like the 'milk' described in the book. Dalefield looked at the slowly shaking liquid, and said with a red face, his thoughts drifting to his collection.

Dalewall's words caused Shilinya to suddenly stop what she was doing, and if it was William who gave her the bottle, Shilinya might have agreed with such a statement. But this bottle was made by Shilinya herself according to the recipe that William had compensated herself.

"Have you ever seen that 'milk'?" Shilinya couldn't help asking, how did a normal experimental question become so dirty in the eyes of the other party?

"Nope. Dalefield shook his head constantly, as if trying to get such a thought out of his mind, but the red face told Shilinya that the other party's approach had failed.

"According to the above, this is a potion that can speed up the recovery of the body in a short period of time and block the pain sensation. Shilinya flipped through the recipe given by William, checking every detail on it, as if trying to find out where something was wrong.

But reading the above again, Shilinya didn't realize what was wrong, and Dalefield was also helping to check, but found nothing.

"Maybe this thing is what it looks like, don't you see? The name of this potion is 'White Lafada'" Dalefield, who had no results in the examination, could only answer the other party's question in this way.

In order to create such a thing, Shilinya almost used up her pocket money for this month, and even the gun experiment that she had been obsessed with was forced to be temporarily stopped, and there was no other reason for making such a big sacrifice, that is, the effect description of this thing was very powerful.

If the description of the effect of such a bottle of potion is true, a warrior can completely take the bottle and rush directly into the enemy pile with his weapon, and there is no need to worry about whether he will be injured, let alone the effect of pain on the battle.

However, Shilinya is not a warrior, so she can't use such a bottle, but she can save it for later life, but only if the effect of this bottle is as powerful as he describes.

"Why haven't I heard of such a powerful thing before?" When Shilinya first got such a recipe, she went to the realm of Nuleki to find some tentacle monsters to find the origin of this thing, but found nothing, and instead handed over this recipe with all the information of Jin Kela.

"Maybe it's something that the earl has nothing to do, right? The reason why it's not famous is probably because it hasn't been tested in actual combat, right?" said Dellfil helplessly, since he entered the army, he has changed from a research mage to a battle mage, and the research results among mages have rarely paid attention. Now Dalefield doesn't care much about the novelties that the mages have come up with.

Knock knock knock......

While Shilinya and Dalefield were speculating, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory.

The knocker seemed to be anxious, and the knocking force increased, and the frequency of knocking became more and more intense.

"No need to knock. Shilinya shouted dissatisfiedly, it was already night, and who else had the leisure to knock on the door?

Shilinya's first reaction was that Kayla, a bear child, was now idle and wanted to find herself to play with her.

"I'm sorry to disturb the eldest lady for the experiment...... "The person who came was a very ordinary maid, and he seemed to be in a hurry for something important when he was out of breath...... Chief Leander now wants the eldest lady to come to his room, and has something to discuss. ”

"Okay, I'll tell you. Dalefield, who opened the door, replied lightly and watched the maid go away.

"Don't make the steward wait too long, it's rude. But only after the maid had completely disappeared from sight did Delphi speak to the man behind him who was wrestling with his work.

It was already night, and it was not far from bedtime, and Shilinya didn't know what was going on with Governor Leander looking for her, hoping that there were not a few representatives of the public or something that had happened somewhere.

Leander's room, Shilinya's first visit, was very similar to Alain's room, it was plain with lots of books or scrolls, but there was no armor here, only a long sword hanging on the wall as a decoration.

As a steward, Leander usually lived in the castle in order to be able to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations. Because of this reason, he and his wife and son were separated, and Alain originally agreed to take his wife and son to live in the castle, but the other party refused.

"It came at the right time. Leander placed a heavy book on the table, "These are the expenses of the Duke's Palace, and now you, as a regent, have the right to know these things." ”

It turned out to be a financial thing, and Shilinya is finally relieved now, at least it's not a bad thing, and these financial things have always been Shilinya's desire to understand, because Shilinya can't figure out how to maintain a standing army of thousands of people while maintaining the various expenses of such a large and gorgeous castle.

Gently flipping through the cover above, Shilinya's fast browser contains the data recorded on each page, as a mage, Shilinya's flipping speed is very fast, although this speed does not allow much in-depth thinking about the situation described in it, but some simple data can still be quickly understood.

"Is there a problem?" asked Leander with a smile, his white beard and hair making the middle-aged uncle look like a Santa Claus.

In the past, Shilinya was just puzzled, but now Shilinya felt extremely shocked, the cost of maintaining an elite standing army of about 6,000 people is very staggering, accounting for almost half of the total expenditure, but such expenses can only be maintained with some subsidies given by the Imperial Legion.

It is no exaggeration to say that his father has half of the elite army of the empire in his hands, as long as the auxiliary soldiers and logistics are supplemented in wartime, it is an elite army of the empire, and with such a force alone, it can have considerable influence in the Morris region, and if the army of the vassals in the territory is added, then the Duke of Anjitan, Alain, is the most powerful person in Morris's military strength.

This is also the main reason why Ian, Duke of Domonides, only wants to risk a sneak attack and does not dare to clash head-on.

If military spending is a guarantee of gaining a foothold in the Morris area, Shilinya can be considerate of such a large expenditure. But the second largest expense is the castle's spending, which accounts for 30 percent!

"Why do we have to invest so much money in this castle?" asked Shilinya, puzzled, her father had been away from war for many years and rarely returned here, so what did it mean to spend so much money in the castle?

Leander seemed to be satisfied with Shilinya's question, and Santa's smile kept appearing on the other party's face: "Miss, do you know the history of Morris for more than a hundred years?"

"I understand a little. ”

"A hundred years ago, Morris was not a feudal kingdom, but a republic, and the Drane family was also a noble family with a long history in the republic. Leander explained to the other in detail.

The Drayne family is the predecessor of the Arian family where Shilinya is now, and when Alan became the de facto ruler of Anjitan, he did not recognize himself as a descendant of the Deryan family, because he was an illegitimate child, and he did not get the other party's recognition before his father's death, so he founded the current Arian family by himself

"But one day, one of the patriarchs of the Drayne family became the president of the Republic of Maurice, and he pushed Maurice into feudalism by various means, and then he was crowned king, and in order to strengthen his hard-won and very fragile royal power, he built this castle as a symbol of the establishment of the kingdom, and it was also the palace of the Maurice Kingdom. Leander pointed his hands around the room, "and it has been renovated and expanded, and it has become the castle it is now." ”

"This castle was and still is the pride of the family, so it is necessary to invest a lot of money to maintain the prestige of this family left over from history, whether it is the Cnuille family or the former Drene family when they were the rulers of the Maurice Kingdom, they have invested a lot of money to maintain this castle. ”

"So when the Arians take over this castle, we're going to have to invest a lot of money to maintain it. ”

Leander's explanation puzzled Shilinya very much, such an approach could be described as extravagance and waste, and a magnificent castle was compared to the poor and dirty lower town in the city!

"I don't think it's necessary!" Shilinya said firmly, now that she is a regent, she should have the power to stop such an act, right?

"It doesn't matter if you don't think it's necessary. Leander's smiling face has now been replaced by a black face, "But the people of Maurice and our vassals feel very necessary!"

"After the destruction of the title of the Kingdom of Maurice by Eumonade, this castle has become one of the few objects of nostalgia in the hearts of the Maurice people. ”
