Chapter 3: The Great Alchemy House Crisis (Asking for Votes)
Li Aili brought two "magical plants" into the [Alchemy House].
There is only one huge crafting table on the first floor of the alchemy house.
The access to the basement and the second floor is closed by a black barrier.
There was an old copper crucible, a stone grinding bowl, a bellows to heat the fire under the crucible, and a long-handled copper spoon with a water-based base.
Li Aili casually inserted two "magic plants" into the grinding bowl, and solved the problem of the passage of medicinal properties.
This is a small "bug" in the alchemy house, and the medicinal properties of the "magic plant" placed in the grinding bowl will be sealed.
But the grinding bowl is not big, and it is enough to insert two or three more magical plants, and it will be full. Obviously, this kind of stuck "bug" is not a long-term solution.
In Constantinople, Li Aili did not dare to stay in the "alchemy house" for too long. As soon as she walked out of the "alchemy house", the door of the living room was kicked open with a "bang", and her heart almost jumped out of her chest in fright.
Arthur Cold's emerald blue eyes swept coldly around the small living room. Then, black boots stomp on the soft handmade carpet.
The duke's jet-black hair was stuck to his cold white forehead with sweat. The man who had just exercised exuded aggression all over his body.
Li Aili subconsciously took a step back, calmed down and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?" β
Arthur Cold Emerald approached step by step. Li Lie stepped back until her back hit the wall.
Duke Leng Jade raised his hand against the wall, trapping Li Aili between himself and the wall, "I said, don't make trouble under my nose. β
The tall and handsome man lowered his head slightly, "You don't remember, or don't understand, huh?" β
Li Aili stretched out her hand and pushed hard against the duke's chest, "I don't know what you're talking about." β
The Duke didn't move, and grabbed Li Ali's wrist with his backhand expressionlessly.
The ice-blue eyes lingered on the thin, white wrist for a moment, then tossed it aside.
"This is the last time, don't let me catch you again." Dropping such a sentence, Duke Leng Jade turned around and left.
Li Aili is a little fried, I don't know if it's an illusion, can this man detect her entering the alchemy house?!
β¦β¦
The next day.
Li Ellie, who got up early, stretched her waist in front of the window.
Today's maid is a little weird, following behind her ass and not leaving a step, which makes her a little uncomfortable.
The knights practiced on the green ground.
The Balk knight had a face that could be called "miserable", with slap prints and nail scratches, and stared at the knights with a blank face...... Li Aili can see it clearly from afar, and you can imagine the intensity of yesterday's "battle situation".
Li Aili silently drew a "light seal" on her chest to thank the god of light for his appearance. o(*οΏ£οΈΆοΏ£*)o
Immediately afterward, she saw Arthur Emerald walk out of the castle and board the carriage, and then the trained knights sent a group to escort the carriage away.
Li Aili seized the opportunity and went directly into the [Alchemy House], and before she had time to be happy, she got an extremely tragic news.
Because there is no sale of alchemical potions, today's reputation is still an abominable "0". So, her back garden has reduced production again!
Today's harvest is only one "fire bell".
In this situation, tomorrow's backyard may not even produce a "magic plant".
The situation is terrible.
No prestige = no materials for crafting potions = no alchemy potions = the alchemy house is likely to be scrapped like this?!
Liquidate the total 'assets' on hand:
an aquatic flower;
a Terra root;
A fire bell.
And then, it's gone!
It's gone!!
Pointing to these three "magic plants" to earn a fortune?
If you choose the wrong medicine, you won't be able to sell it in the end...... Wouldn't that be a waste of money?!
Isn't the super golden finger of the "Alchemy House" wasted??
Thinking about it like this, she was directly scared into a cold sweat.
After leaving the alchemy house, Li Aili hurriedly circled around the house.
What can I do?
What exactly is a potion? Who can I sell the potion to to maximize my reputation?
While he was in a hurry, the door was cautiously knocked on by the maid. Li Aili scratched her hair irritably, she dared to be sure that the maid's appearance like a spy was definitely inseparable from a certain duke!
"Duchess, the ladies of the Knights are waiting for you in the small parlor on the south side of the second floor."
After the war, after the celebration banquet, it was the turn to comfort the families of the knights killed and wounded in the war. This is also the responsibility of the Duchess. It's just that, in his memory, Arthur Cold Jade never let the original body do this.
It's like a house leak that happened to rain overnight! The big crisis of the alchemy house has not been solved yet, and she seems to be targeted by the Duke of the snake spirit disease again! What should she do?!
Seeing a somewhat trance-like Li Aili walk into the living room, the ladies waiting here got up and saluted, "Madam, good afternoon." β
Unlike the high-spirited ladies who visited yesterday, these women today have sad faces that even delicate makeup cannot hide. Li Aili subconsciously glanced at the top of their heads.
γEdward...... Will he die while I'm away? γ
Why are you attacking Lord Koran's domain? γ
[If it weren't for the Knights' attack on Lord Hell's territory, the Holy See of Light would not have refused to heal Edward......]
[If it weren't for this, Edward wouldn't have had the will to live and die?] What to do? Without Edward, I wouldn't want to live any longer. γ
[Fortunately, we don't have children yet......]
The Holy See of Light has a monopoly on the medical resources of the Clark Kingdom. Even the Potions Guild is not allowed to sell healing potions in the Clark Kingdom.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Ellie's mind.
The opportunity she desperately needs may be right around the corner.
"Excuse me," said Li Elli, who immediately walked up to the lady, "would you like to go with me around the garden?" β
Everyone's eyes converged on the two of them.
[Ahh Why did the "mad lady" find Joanna? γ
[Poor Joanna...... I heard that her husband, Grand Knight Edward Martin, was likely to die. γ
Big "bubbles" appeared above the heads of the ladies beside Joanna.
"Duchess, why don't you let me go with you." The kind lady had the audacity to say to Li Ellie.
Li Aili said to Joanna, who was dead silent in her eyes, "There is a strange flower in the back garden. It withers during the blooming season, but when you think it's going to die, its rhizomes produce the most beautiful flowers.
I thought it was interesting, so I renamed it 'Hope'. Would you like to come with me, Madame, to see Hope? β
When Joanna heard this, she stood up in a daze, "Madam, I would like to go with you to see such a miraculous flower. β
Li Elle declined the other ladies to follow, and only led Joanna to the back garden. On the way, she casually spoke: "Is the Holy See refusing to heal the wounded knight this time?" β
Joanna's posture trembled slightly, "Yes, ma'am. β
[I know that Edward owes allegiance to His Excellency the Duke, but...... As his wife, it was hard for me not to blame the duke for his willfulness. γ
[The kingdom has so many noble territories, why does he insist on attacking the territory of the Kelan family? γ
[To know...... The 'young lady' of the Kelan family, who has a special status, is likely to be chosen by the Holy See of Light as a candidate for the next generation of Holy Maidens of Light. γ
[Could it be, is the Duke going to war with the Holy See of Light? γ
Li Aili quietly withdrew her gaze, secretly staggering at the huge amount of information she had inadvertently obtained.
Arthur Emerald was anxious to 'catch' her back, maybe there was some calculation behind it.
But for now, it doesn't matter.
Li Aili stood in front of a sea of white flowers, "This is it. β
These flowers are really peculiar, countless small white flowers bloom on yellow-green strips of paper, and the leaves all turn yellow and die, falling on the soil to become flower fertilizer.
"Yesterday, the maids told me that this is called 'Immortal Bird', but I think such a strong and resilient life is more appropriate to call it 'Hope', what do you think, Joanna?"
Joanna crouched down and gently picked up a note full of small white flowers.
"She's beautiful, she's beautiful, and I'd like to take one back and give it to my husband, is that okay, ma'am?"
Li Aili also leaned down, her hair falling down, blocking the whispers of the two ladies.
"If, I say, I have a magic potion that might make your husband well, do you need it?"
Joanna: "??? β
Li Aili said seriously: "If you want to seize the 'hope', come to Constantinople tomorrow to find me." β
