Episode 121
It is right to leave as soon as possible, but there are too many things piled up.
the most urgent of these.
“Sir, this is going to be…”
Bran sent a circle mark with his finger.
It was said that there was no money.
“Where did all that money go?”
There were roughly fifty thousand gold.
Fifty thousand gold was an amount that easily exceeded the annual tax of a tolerable territory.
But does that mean that much money is gone in just three months?
“That money-eating witch…”
Bran said, lighting a twin wick.
Look where your fingers are pointing.
Beatrice opened her chest and spoke confidently.
“Give me some research money.”
“Why do you keep walking around naked?”
“Did you cover everything you want to cover?”
“Don’t go around wearing only slippers.”
“I’m wearing a cardigan too.”
That cardigan is too thin.
How many men do you think go around dressed like that?
There weren’t many places to look.
“…because. Did that much money go to research expenses?”
“yes.”
Bran’s eyes didn’t meet well, as if he was embarrassed by Beatrice.
He and Beatrice were looking at Branse with contempt, but something seems to have happened between them.
But that wasn’t what I knew.
“Give me the ledger.”
“Here I am.”
Really.
The expansion of the mansion and the creation of Beatrice’s workshop.
And most went out to purchase research materials.
Clearly, it was carried out as agreed.
But the problem was that much.
Beatrice frantically purchased research items and materials to the point that 50,000 gold evaporated in just a few months.
“…”
Beatrice began to avert her gaze as Colius didn’t say anything.
“Because I’ve never really spent too much. You’ve got the right results. As long as we commercialize this and put it out…”
A sigh came out spontaneously, but I couldn’t blame her. In the first place, I expected this much money to go out.
In the end, what mattered was how much you could recover.
“When will commercialization take?”
“Um, about five years?”
“lily!! Because of that witch, we are ruined!! I should take off all my clothes right away, hang it from the ceiling, and pat myself on the cheeks to make my insides feel better!”
“He came to me with a bouquet of flowers without even knowing the subject, and talked nonsense.”
“My me when!”
“Shut up, both of you.”
Beatrice’s research could not be delayed. The TD potion must be an elixir that can be made with a small amount of troll blood and hemolysis.
‘Five years is too long, and if it is completed within 23 years, it will be able to play a big role in the fight against the Empire.’
Although it cannot be regarded as a miracle drug yet, it has been confirmed that taking it for a long time makes the body stronger.
I am building data through the 6th generation, so it will be better in 12 years.
Beatrice said it was 5 years since she was a person who pursued perfection, but maybe one year would be enough for the data.
“one year.”
“yes?”
“Commercialize within one year.”
“But the current level is…”
It must be that it is not satisfactory.
But even that unsatisfactory result is necessary for Carpe.
“Feeding the 6th Battalion right now is well worth it. Let’s start with mass production from there.”
“Um…”
“And the more data for improvement, the better.”
“Is that right?”
“Not only the 6th division, but the entire kingdom might be able to test the potion.”
“Ah… that’s for sure.”
Profits remain and data can be extracted.
Research and experiments are money after all.
With money, you can do more research and more experiments.
Money shortens time.
So, in the end, you need money to make everything run smoothly.
So you have to do it.
‘In addition, it has already been verified that it does not have any harmful effects on the body.’
It’s too late to cultivate now.
It is right to make the kingdom army stronger to deal with the empire.
This is good for her too.
A great opportunity to establish her place in the kingdom, not to mention fortune telling.
Next to Cedric, in order to establish a church in Carpe, you had to have the right value and prove that you have the right to do so.
“great.”
“good night. Bruce.”
“yes!”
“Bring Helena.”
“yes?”
why Helena? is the expression
“Shut up and bring me.”
“Yes yep!!”
There was no need to explain.
* * *
The drawing room of the mansion.
Helena, her reddish hair, sat across from me looking quite dissatisfied.
“So you ask for money. now?”
“It’s for Carpe.”
“So now. When you say that you haven’t seen each other in a while, you mean asking for money. now?”
“right.”
Helena glared at Colliers again ferociously and raised her teacup.
After drinking the tea, he was startled and then glared at Colliers again.
“Why is it so tasteless? Is it intentional? Did you get poisoned?!”
“It’s Emily’s car.”
“It was a joke. It’s delicious… but do you usually eat this?”
It doesn’t look appetizing at all.
Callis replied calmly.
“sometimes.”
They come in from time to time and make tea. The lady of Zervan makes the black tea, which is sweet just by pouring hot water on the tea leaves, astringent like an unripe lime.
If this was a skill, it was a skill.
“…”
“Why do you look like that?”
“Being a father is difficult.”
“Be good to your father, too.”
“You are not doing well.”
“What I do well is what I do well.”
“…what the.”
Laughing at something absurd
The corners of his mouth loosened as well, perhaps a little funny.
“So what money are you asking for? It’s so sad to say that you’ve seen it for the first time in three months.”
“…meaning I want to get my money back.”
“Oh, is it gold? It’s um… why don’t you stay a little longer. Now, there is not much profit left.”
“How long has it been?”
“Now, um… about 43%?”
“…Isn’t that a big deal?”
“70% is a business that has to be left over.”
I don’t know if it’s because she’s a merchant or if Helena is special.
70% of 20,000 gold is about 34,000 gold, which is quite a lot of money.
If it’s this level of return in just three or four months, I think I can leave it alone.
“Will you give me one more year? Then you will get twice as much.”
“Then that is it. First of all, look at this potion with these.”
Behind Colius, junk was lined up, and a potion suddenly appeared in front of him.
“What are all these things?”
“These are the relics of the Bira people.”
“Bira? What is it?”
“An ancient minority that existed in the old North. The level of artifacts they create easily surpasses those of the Sacred Sorcerers.”
“Um… I see. These are relics, so if you organize them neatly and put them out, money magicians will turn on their eyes and attack you.”
I didn’t bring it by suffering for nothing.
The value of these is the value of calling.
Of course, there are some things that I can’t use at all.
“And this potion is an elixir made by mixing troll blood and dragon blood. If you consume it, it will peel off the limits of your body.”
The potion that Colius ate after waking up.
He’s a pretty good guy.
Colius thought that at this level, he could call it an elixir.
To be honest, recovery medicine is still more correct than elixir, but it is not wrong.
“Isn’t that too absurd?”
“It heals wounds and increases physical abilities a little. I also took the elixir and got better, so it’s not a lie.”
transparent potion.
Helena, who opened the stopper, closed it again, startled by the profound scent wafting through the room.
“Isn’t that a lie? Can I sell it under your name at a higher price?”
“It’s a good thing.”
“What is the fee? 30% possible?”
“You sound like a bully. Eat only 10%.”
“10% is too weak! Am I busy?”
“Then don’t. Things like this are things you can’t live without. If you have an audience with the Queen and tell her your circumstances, she will welcome you with both hands. Even this elixir.”
‘surely.’
If what Colius said was true, calling that potion would be worth it.
‘As long as we increase the price and sell it sequentially to the masters…’
I don’t know if it’s an elixir or something, but I think I can fill the empty spot in the carpe potion market where holy water has disappeared. At the rate of recovery he said, it’s like holding an extra life.
‘First, sell it to the Masters, and then sell it to talented captain-level knights or nobles…’
Its value cannot be arbitrarily determined.
Saliva formed at the corners of Helena’s mouth.
Sup.
“Kuh hmm. How about 20%?”
“15%. Any more than that is impossible.”
“I can’t help it. I want to check the sample first, so I’ll take one.”
“Check here.”
“yes? How can I check here…”
“Brance.”
“yep!”
As soon as he ran, he took out Zordyk’s dagger from his bosom and cut Brance’s arm.
“Ugh!”
I grabbed the man who was making a fuss by the arm and dripped a few drops of elixir into the wound.
So profit.
The wound started to heal.
It was definitely slower than holy water, but since it was so much that it was healing, it was definitely an elixir.
“You can call it Elixir.”
“Elixir… not bad.”
chuck.
Helena, who concluded the deal by holding hands, took the elixir.
“But why did you call me?”
“What are you saying.”
“Since you are the queen’s knight, it would have been okay if I had told the queen?”
It was a face full of anticipation.
“Because the royal family can monopolize it. Nationally, that might be a good thing, but not personally.”
“Ah…then the source should be kept secret?”
“That is better.”
Most of the country’s renegades are dead, but they can’t be caught off guard.
It is better that Beatrice’s existence is still hidden in a veil.
‘Until the time comes.’

Road to the Queen.
I was on my way to study the sword, but I stopped by the academy while thinking about it.
“Is this it?”
royal academy.
I slowly walked down the hallway looking at the exterior of the building, which was built quite nicely.
As I was walking, I saw a ferocious-looking guy wearing glasses.
“Who… Ah! Are you sure you are Count Zervan?”
He was a man with a rather filthy temper, but as soon as he saw Colius, he cringed.
“Right.”
“This is an honor. Did you come to see Lady Emily?”
“Where is Emily’s half?”
“It’s Class C. Oh, you should be practicing sparring by now. Would you like to see it?”
“Guide me.”
The curriculum for training in the morning, theory in the afternoon, and ignoring the words of the guy who was talking a lot, I saw the place where Emily was training.
Emily was sparring in the warm sunlight.
The opponent was the offspring of a certain nobleman.
He was a boy one head taller than Emily, but he was no match for Emily.
“damn!”
win in the blink of an eye
With an expressionless face, he put down his wooden sword, then turned his head and looked this way.
Soon after, he was surprised and waved his hand with his loose mouth.
He found Colius.
As if in response, he waved his hand slightly.
Then Lini and Flora, who were nearby, also waved.
Lini was like that, but Flora was like that, but it didn’t matter.
‘I guess all four were in the same class.’
I don’t know if it’s accidental or intentional.
However, nothing was bad.
The moment you think so.
“Don’t worry about your daughter.”
“…”
“I’m thinking of looking into it as my disciple.”
The Pope had come over when he had come and was looking at Emily.
The aristocratic instructor, whose name was unknown, lowered his head as if he was embarrassed.
I’ve heard that they haven’t been around since Sullivian’s death, but have they already shaken it off?
“Did you raise a disciple?”
“There was no barrel. There was no child with the talent to be accepted as a disciple, and I did not have the leisure and will to do so.”
However, Sullivan’s death.
That there was a change of heart.
“I couldn’t die this time, but one day I too will die and disappear. I will become a sword and help the kingdom, but even so, I want to leave my will behind.”
“It doesn’t matter if Emily wants it. Never mind me.”
“Thank you.”
“How about teaching those children along with you?”
“who?”
“They are my nephews.”
“I don’t think it’s that child, is it?”
It was Flora.
“It will be a big figure.”
The pope’s eyes narrow.
Before long, her eyes twinkle as if she found something in Flora. He asked with a smile as if he was having fun.
“Hmm, are you a commoner?”
“yes.”
“I like it.”
three years ahead.
when three years have passed.
It is also expected to see how much the children’s skills have improved.
“It’s already been quite a while. How is the Queen’s swordsmanship?”
“It is smooth.”
The queen’s talent is not bad.
It didn’t belong to the good side, but it was not difficult to teach because he was passionate about learning.
“But…”
Callius pursed his brow in pain.
“but?”
“He tripped often.”
He often stumbled and was supported by Colius.
“…”
As he seriously thought about whether he had a balance disorder, the Pope looked at Colius as if he were an asshole.
