Chapter 276: The Greatest Task of Mortal Life (3/4)
As a lord, you naturally don't need to do it yourself.
To open the college, issue an order, give the college design drawings, and then allocate funds, the college will start construction immediately.
And if you want to study the fertility problem of mages, you can only go to Vivien for help.
Lily Manor.
Vivien stayed in the lab as usual fiddling with the microscope, one eye looking at the camera and the other controlling the appearance of the pen to record the appearance of the body.
After seeing Lawson, he said hello to him and continued to focus on his work.
Rosen stepped forward and looked at the small body drawing she had drawn, which was a good sketch, but it was still inevitably distorted, so he said, "Why don't you let me draw it?" ”
Hearing this, Vivian's eyes lit up: "Oh, how did I forget that you are a great painter?"
She immediately gave way.
Lawson walked over to the camera and took a look, and found that Vivien was observing a very strange cell, and when she looked closely, she found that it seemed to be a group of tadpoles.
"Where did this come from?"
"Mutant male rats."
Vivien's expression was natural, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"I just wanted to know why these little things got into the mother mouse and gave birth to mice."
After speaking, he glanced at Lawson again, his gaze went all the way, and a charming smile appeared in his eyes: "Or."
Rosen immediately knew what she was thinking, and immediately said, "I probably know the answer to this question." ”
"Oh?"
Rosen picked up a paintbrush and began to print the internal structure of tadpoles, explaining the principles of biological reproduction in local language.
"If you look closely, you will see that there are two kinds of small bodies in this world that are used to procreate."
"One is small and has a lot of numbers, and one is big and has a small number."
"The male provides a small number of large ones, and the female one provides a large number of small ones. Taken together, the two form a complete fertility body, which is the first life. ”
Vivien was very curious: "You haven't looked at the microscope before, how can you confirm this?"
Rosen smiled: "There are many fertility bodies in this world, which can be seen by the eyes."
"For example?"
"Eggs."
Vivien was stunned for a moment, then shocked, and then her face showed admiration: "Rosen, your observation ability is really strong!"
Rosen continued: "According to this logic, fish eggs, frog eggs, chicken and duck eggs are all toyotropic bodies."
Vivien's eyes lit up as she listened, and she began to take notes.
"Anything else?"
"Then, I found that the development of life presents a law from low to high, and the more advanced it is, the more carefully it will take care of its offspring."
"The lower ones, such as fish and toads, directly discharge the fertility bodies directly into the water, and the higher ones form a hard-shelled egg. For example, chickens, ducks, geese, turtles, etc. ”
"More advanced beings, such as sheep, cows, and pigs, which are warm to the touch, but they can't see the so-called 'eggs'."
Vivien's train of thought was guided by Rosen, and when she heard this, she subconsciously asked.
"yes, why not?"
"I guess it's not nothing, but these advanced beings hide their eggs in the belly of the mother beast. When the egg hatches in the belly and can move, it is born. ”
Vivien understood.
"So, I should be able to find a large fertility body in the belly of the mutant female?"
Lawson nodded: "That's right, but there's no need to be so troublesome." ”
"How?"
"In fact, women should have it in their stomachs, and a phenomenon has already foreshadowed this."
Wei Wei moved with peace of mind, and immediately thought: "You mean women's menstruation?" ”
"That's right."
Rosen explained.
"You think, when a woman becomes an adult, she comes to work about once a month, and every month, there are always a few days when she feels like she wants to do something, right?"
Vivien nodded repeatedly: "That's right! ”
"This should correspond to the estrus period of the ewe. Whenever this happens, the ewe will jump up and down, very excited, once it meets the ram, it will even take the initiative to tease. ”
"If there is a ram to help, then the ewe can carry a lamb, right?"
Vivien nodded again and began to draw inferences from it.
"So if in these days with . If you do something, it will be easy to conceive a child. ”
Thinking of this, she was suddenly shocked: "No, I didn't come this month, no, I didn't come last month!" ”
Immediately reached out to touch his lower abdomen, and found that his stomach seemed to be a little bulging, and then immediately looked up at Lawson.
"I said how can I eat it during this time, it turns out that I have your seed!"
Originally, she would not have been neglected, but she got an artifact like the microscopic mirror, which disrupted her original plan.
Lawson shrugged: "Then you can't be too tired during this time, you should pay more attention to rest." ”
To be honest, he doesn't have much affection for this child, but after all, he is his child, and he is still very happy to come, which directly proves the effectiveness of the bloodline blessing potion.
Vivien shook her head: "I don't feel tired at all, I just eat better." ”
Lawson didn't have a problem either, because Vivien wasn't the kind of delicate woman who would fall when the wind blows.
She is very strong, and there are many servants in Lily Manor, so you just need to pay a little attention to it every day.
I can also think that if she is not allowed to do the experiment for ten months, she will go crazy nine times out of ten.
He handed Vivien the sketch he had already drawn: "I don't think it's a formal title, it's easy to confuse, and it's not easy to remember. Why don't you change your name to a unique one? ”
"Change the name. What's it called? ”
"Why don't you call it a cell? A very small and thin one, similar to a newborn little guy with a fetal membrane. ”
"Ah, that's an apt description, let's call it a cell."
Vivien took the sketch drawn by Rosen and couldn't help but sigh: "Your painting skills are really enviable, but it's a pity that I can't learn it." ”
As she spoke, she asked, "Is there anything you have to do with me today?" ”
Rosen leaned back on the bench with his arms folded around his chest, and got down to business.
"It's for the sake of the children. I wanted to figure out why mages had trouble having children, and then find a way to overcome this dilemma. ”
As soon as she heard this question, Vivien immediately became intrigued.
"Aha~~ Then I happen to have a child in my belly, so I'll take a closer look and maybe I can find out the reason directly."
She felt like she had something to do for a long time to come.
Lawson is also very happy, because this is indeed a very rare sample.
After thinking about it, he decided to add another safety lock to Vivien: "And good news, you will definitely like it very much." ”
"Honey, just say it, don't torture me."
So, Rosen told him about the deal he had negotiated with Alfroya.
"When your child is born, and at the same time, when you understand the general operation principle of the mortal mana bubble, I will provide you with the cells of extraordinary life for you to study."
After hearing this, Vivien was really excited.
She rushed to Lawson's side quickly, hugged him and kissed him hard: "Oh~ dear, you are so amazing!" ”
Rosen let her kiss, and when her enthusiasm was almost released, he continued: "I think that to accomplish so much work, you alone will definitely not be enough. Why don't you take a few apprentices as assistants? ”
Vivien smiled: "I also have this idea, there are a lot of tedious and repetitive monotonous work in the laboratory, which is a waste of my time and energy, so it is better to leave it to the apprentice." ”
Then the matter is settled.
After a little more intimacy, Lawson returned to Crescent Town in a carriage, and when he passed by the temple, he asked Vina to get the bloodline blessing potion.
Exactly two bottles.
It was exactly five o'clock in the evening, and he took the potion back to the castle.
After dinner, they discussed spells with Thrandis and Gentronie in the study, and then went into the bedroom together at about 9 o'clock.
After getting into bed, Rosen took out the potion with an expression of dedication.
"Anna, Jenny, guess what it is?"
The potion is transparent and gives off a yellowish shimmer, like flowing amber, which is beautiful.
Both women were puzzled.
Rosen didn't sell it either, and directly said the answer.
After listening, Anna's eyes suddenly lit up: "I love ~ God's wisdom is really endless~"
But Rosen noticed that Gendelloni seemed to flinch a little on his face, so he asked, "Doesn't Jenny want children?" ”
Gendelloni was stunned, nodded, and shook her head again.
"I wanted one, but I was a little scared because my mother died in childbirth."
Rosen was immediately comforted.
"Jenny, it's okay, the healing shaman of the temple has a lot of experience in delivering babies, and has a matching magic technique, called 'Mother and Child Peace'."
Difficult childbirth is indeed scary, but at the level of the lord's wife, there is no need to worry about it at all.
Although the baron is a small lord, there are hundreds of millions of people in the entire golden land, and the number of barons does not exceed a thousand, which is already the top of the pyramid, and he can basically get the best service from the temple.
Gendeloni's horror was greatly reduced: "Really?"
Rosen nodded: "Of course it's true."
She looked at Thrandis: "Anna, do you think I'm going to give birth?"
Thrandis thought for a moment and said, "I think it's good to have one, after all, a woman always has to have a child before her life can be considered complete." Moreover, in this way, our children can grow up together and not be lonely. ”
Gendeloni nodded in agreement, but looked at her chest with some apprehension.
"But I'm worried that my baby will go hungry when he is born."
Thrandis couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I won't let the child go hungry." Besides, you can also ask the maid to be fed. ”
In this way, Gendeloni had no worries at all, and she made up her mind.
"Get me a bottle too."
After the two girls drank the potion, Lawson began to sow the seeds diligently.
After sowing the seeds, both girls were extremely sleepy and snuggled up to Rosen and fell asleep.
Lawson couldn't sleep, lying on the big bed with his hands behind his head, thinking about things with his eyes closed.
The issue of mage fertility has been put on the agenda, so it is time to consider the issue of building a regular army in the territory.
"Now that the main town of the town has been built, the reservoir has been built, the college has started, and the magic tools and custom painting business are also operating normally, and they can roughly maintain a balance of payments."
"There is not much money left, it is estimated that only 20,000 kroner is available."
"The defense system of these days is made up of armies, castles, and fortresses, and this thing is a real gold-eating beast."
"In a barony, the size of the army is generally 600 people. The crescent moon collar has a special situation, the scale has been increased to 1000, and it can be divided into 10 knights. ”
"A traditional professional army of 1,000 people will definitely not be able to support 30,000 people, so we have to rely on imported resources from the outside world."
"Then you have to spend real money, and it will be difficult to raise."
"I'm short of money now, and the combat effectiveness of the traditional army is average, and it really depends on human lives to fight, which is too uneconomical."
"What to do?"
Rosen thought about it carefully and soon had a new idea.
"Why don't I build a new army of battle mages? Cooperate with the fortress and take the battery flow of defense and counterattack? ”
"Seems like it's doable."
"Although there are no high-power explosives with stable performance in this world, they can be completely replaced by mana."
"But where can you find so many mages who have mana and are willing to fight?"
Obviously, there can't be so many battle mages.
Because people don't like to go to the battlefield to fight hard, mages especially don't like it.
Mages have a lot of choice, so it's hard to get enough battle mages.
Suddenly, a thought popped into my head.
"Hmm~ Why is my brain so wooden? Why do you have to let the mage go into battle himself? ”
"The mage's people don't need to go at all, just go to the spell."
"This path is already being walked, and that is the Runestone. I can take this path to the extreme! ”
Rosen thought about it, and gradually had a clear plan in his mind.
"I'll start doing it tomorrow!"
"By the way, there is not much money, and I have to find a way to make money tomorrow!"
That's what he thinks, but the plan can't catch up.
The next morning, Rosen was sitting in the lord's study, and was about to send someone to find Mayor Harrick, who came with Director Mona first.
He explained solemnly: "Mona said that she brought a letter from Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
