Chapter 190: Appreciation of Katie
The Youguang Valley in the hot summer is not that hot, but such a climate is more suitable for plant growth.
In the ice age, the Black-waisted Snake Manor was full of wasteland.
At this time of year, the Black-waisted Snake Manor is full of vitality, and the greenery is dotted with colorful flowers.
Russell is counting his stock of magic potions in the warehouse of the manor's courtyard.
Transparent glass tubes are neatly placed in wooden boxes with different labels on them.
The labels are divided into two categories. One is a large label with words such as "boiling", "tonifying", "healing", "fantasy beast", and "amplification". Different labels represent the emphasis of the magic potion effect.
The other is a small label with words such as "perfect", "pure", "fusion", "mixed", and "dilution", which are several concentration standards.
Magic potions come from the magic extraction of magic potions.
Different plants and mushrooms have different natural effects, so the magic potions produced will be very different.
But it depends more on the pharmacist's production method.
If you want to make a boiling magic potion that can boil Dou Qi and facilitate the opening of meridians, you must use high-temperature steaming to preserve the active effect of magic; if you want to make a healing magic potion that can repair wounds, stop bleeding and regenerate muscles, you must use the water pressure method to squeeze out the magic bit by bit.
In short.
Magic potions are strategic materials and are basically not circulated on the market. The nobles train pharmacists and make magic potions themselves.
Russell does not have a pharmacist under his command, so the magic potions are transported to Fluorescent Castle and asked the pharmacists of Fluorescent Castle to make them on his behalf.
"Most of them are boiling potions and tonic potions..." Russell counted his magic potions.
Boiling potions can boil Dou Qi and facilitate the opening of meridians, and tonic potions can strengthen Dou Qi and be used for the circulation of small and large Zhoutian.
They are all potions that assist in cultivation.
And the quantity is not too much, basically enough for him, Eric, and the four knights to practice, and there are some diluted potions for the wildcat sisters and the cave rangers to exchange - spend money to exchange.
"Charles."
"My lord, please give your orders." Charles followed behind Russell.
"When the next batch of fluorescent mushrooms mature, remember to exchange a batch of blood paste or meat balls with the fluorescent castle and store them in stock."
Charles is a smart man. He immediately reacted after hearing: "My lord, do you want to train knights?"
"Yes, the territory is not short of money now, and the magic potion has reached the harvest season. It is completely possible to train knights in advance." Russell smiled.
Blood paste and meat balls are not magic potions, but the effect can catch up with the lowest level of diluted potions.
Suitable for laying the foundation for children and helping them to breed the seeds of fighting spirit faster.
"Is it too hasty? You also need a lot of resources to practice." Charles asked doubtfully.
"No, it will take several years for the children to be trained. By then, I will probably have been promoted to a fantasy beast knight and can lead the knights to fight on the snowfield." Russell said, "As for my training needs, don't worry."
Others can't buy magic potions, so can Russell not buy them?
Fluorescent Castle does not sell magic potions to the public, but Russell wants them, and the baron and his wife can't be stingy with him.
The profits of Yulong Cigars have not yet been received, and Baron Roman asked for one-third to subsidize the family. Russell must get more wool to supplement himself-this is not a quibble, this is fatherly and motherly love.
"The school may have to wait until the ice age this year before there is enough manpower to repair it." Charles said.
After saying that, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "I don't know when the office will be built. We still work in a shabby house. There is a large group of chickens in the yard next door. I can smell the fragrance of chicken shit every day."
Russell didn't know Charles was complaining. Hearing this, he said lightly: "It doesn't matter. Stock up on Qi and Blood Paste and Jing Meat Pills first, and then select children of appropriate age next year to do physical training first to help them build a good foundation for their bodies."
"As you wish." Charles replied.
"Your son and Eric's son are almost of appropriate age. When the time comes, recruit them together and train their bodies well."
"Ah, then thank you for your care, sir!" Charles said happily.
He has finished practicing Dou Qi in this life, and there is no hope of being promoted to a great knight, but he hopes that his children can stand out in the way of Dou Qi practice.
In the future, father and son will join forces to revitalize the family.
You know, his ancestors were also lords and fantasy beast knights, but later the family fell into decline, and each generation was worse than the previous one, and gradually became a poor family.
Now that he has followed the right person, Russell obviously has a bright future. Naturally, he also hopes to share Russell's glory and revive the family's former glory.
"You and Eric are both my trusted brothers and sisters. If I don't take care of you, who else can I take care of?" Russell smiled.
Then he counted the gold coins in the warehouse and other miscellaneous things.
Seeing that Russell had no other instructions, Charles suddenly hesitated and said, "Sir, can I exchange a healing potion from you?"
"Healing potion? What do you want this for?" Russell looked at Charles, "I didn't see you get hurt. Why do you still want to fight and use the healing potion to repair the meridians and reopen the meridians in your body?"
Charles repeatedly said that he wanted to practice, but he gave up quickly every time.
Russell didn't think he had the perseverance.
"No, no." Charles smiled awkwardly, "I gave up a long time ago. I couldn't endure hardship when I was young, not to mention that I'm old now... I just want to buy one for Katie to help her rebuild her fighting spirit."
"Katie? Rebuild her fighting spirit?"
"Yes, Katie is really courageous and perseverant. She has dispersed her ranger fighting spirit and is ready to start over." Charles sighed, "But you also know that rebuilding fighting spirit is simply nonsense. I'm afraid that she won't be able to practice it, but will hurt herself."
"Is that so." Russell frowned, turned around and told the personal servant waiting at the door, "Ram, go and ask Ms. Katie to come over."
"Okay, sir."
After a while, Katie followed Ram to the manor courtyard.
"My lord, are you looking for me?" Katie was wearing cool clothes. After living in the sun, she had a full meal and her figure was bulging.
Unfortunately, although she was prettier than her sister Catherine, her appearance was still lacking, and she was much worse than the head maid Leona.
"Katie, I just heard from Charles that you have rebuilt your fighting spirit?" Russell asked.
This matter could not be concealed at all, so Katie had prepared herself to face it calmly.
So she answered calmly: "Yes, sir, I have rebuilt my fighting spirit... I am sorry that I did not explain the situation to you in advance, but please rest assured, if I fail to rebuild my fighting spirit, I will resign and become an ordinary serf."
"I will not blame you. You and Catherine have contributed to the recovery of the Cave Village and the golden and silver wolfhound Kevin."
Russell looked at Katie and said slowly: "During your tenure as an official, you worked diligently, and I have nothing to be dissatisfied with, so I will not deny your ability just because you failed to rebuild your fighting spirit."
"Thank you, sir!" Katie raised her eyes, glanced at Russell, and lowered her head again.
"If you had come to ask me before, I would definitely not agree to your rebuilding of fighting spirit. This road... is very difficult to walk. But now that things have come to this, I can only wish you can achieve your wish and become a real knight." Russell said.
"The road is difficult, but I am not afraid! Sir, I will do my best to fight!"
"Good, you have ambition!" Russell admired Katie's character and said immediately, "I will personally sponsor you two healing potions and ten tonic potions... Don't rush to refuse, Katie, if you can succeed, it will be the greatest reward for me."
Whether it is to admire Katie's character or to pay a fortune for a horse's bones.
Russell handed all twelve magic potions to Katie, and smiled indifferently in Katie's red-eyed gratitude.
Send away the grateful Katie.
Russell glanced at Charles, who was looking at Katie's leaving back, feeling lost, so he reminded her lightly: "Teacher Charles, you are the clerk of the territory. You must set an example in morality and never make mistakes knowingly."
Charles blushed and said embarrassedly: "How could it be, sir, I just... just admire it."
