In the afternoon, the meditation room on the second floor of Eagle Fort.
"Wrong!" Adeline yelled loudly in the room.
Sitz looked like he had done something wrong, and lowered his head deeply.
"Don't be discouraged, young man, just be more careful next time." Ascorin, the water element, comforted Sitz with the tone of someone who had experienced it.
Adeline stared at it indifferently, and immediately made it shut up.
"Let me ask you, are the several herbs that you were asked to add just now correct?"
Adeline did not clearly point out the other party's mistakes, but asked the other party to recall carefully whether there was a problem with each step in the process just now.
Hearing this, Sitz began to silently recall the scene when he just dispensed the medicine.
"I think it was a gram of roley leaves, and two gram of lime blossoms, and five gram of ashmo powder."
"Very well, how about borrowing it?"
Sitz continued: "I followed the method taught by your Excellency. After heating the [Bright Blue Liquid] to boiling, I poured three kinds of ingredients into it, but for some reason, it exploded."
Speaking of this, Sitz still has some fears. If it wasn't for the damage caused by the explosion, he might have been turned into a pool of ashes by now.
Adeline mixed the potion in her hand, shook her head, and continued: "No, keep thinking about what you did wrong."
Sitz had no choice but to let out a wry smile, and continued to think about his previous behavior seriously.
Ascorin, the water element, stood aside, saw the other party's pensive look, and suddenly reminded with a conscience: "Boiling."
"Asklin!" Adeline in front warned without looking back.
"Yes, dear lady." The water element hurriedly stopped to look at the words in his mouth.
Although the water element didn't fully remind Sitz, its key words had reached his ears.
"Boiling." Sitz began to mutter in his mouth, repeating what the water element had just said.
Could it be!
Sitz suddenly realized: "Your Excellency, is it because I overheated [Bright Blue Liquid] that it caused the explosion?"
"No, it's not just for this reason."
Without waiting for Adeline's reply to him, Sitz denied the previous idea.
"Also, I did not follow the order and imported the three types of raw materials at one time. This is the main reason for the explosion."
Adeline put down the potion in her hand and said, "That's right, since you want to learn the knowledge of a pharmacist, you should memorize more and learn more, and think more about why you failed. If Askerin hadn't reminded you just now, I don’t know how long it will take to come to this conclusion.”
Hearing this, Sitz lowered his head in shame again. When recalling the past experiments, he had indeed overlooked many obvious small mistakes and didn't take them to heart, so he couldn't figure out the reason for the failure.
He sincerely said to Adeline: "I am very sorry, Your Excellency, I promise that similar problems will not happen again next time."
"I hope so." Adeline said indifferently.
She turned around and handed the potion in her hand to Sitz, and said, "Now, I will give you the second task, which is to complete the unfinished process of the potion in front of you."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Sitz solemnly took over the medicine and began to develop it.
Ascorin, the water element, watched his every move from the sidelines.
It is very interesting that since Sitz entered this laboratory, Askerin has paid special attention to him.
In the words of the other party, it can feel a special attraction in Sitz.
On the other side, in the castle's study, Kane was listening to Catherine's report.
"My lord, in the past few days, the surrender team led by Dries has been able to take on the patrol mission in the morning, which has also relieved the pressure on our soldiers a lot."
Kane said with satisfaction: "Very well, have they made any mistakes?"
"It's never happened before. That Captain Dries has been diligently performing his morning duties."
"That's right, I really didn't misread this person, his ambition is indeed great." Kane laughed.
It's a pity that from the very beginning, Kane never thought of using these surrendered soldiers as his own army.
No matter how hard they try, they are just substitutes. When the reserve source of troops can be replenished, Kane will completely abandon this group of soldiers.
Catherine continued to suggest: "My lord, do we want them to be in charge of night duty?"
In this regard, Kane refused: "No, even if the [heart-locking agent] has been injected into their bodies, I still don't trust the soldiers on Manvila's side. Let them take care of the morning ones, and we will take care of the evening ones." Our own soldiers came to inspect."
"Yes, my lord, I understand."
Kane looked at the map on the desktop and continued: "In addition, we must find a reserve source of troops as soon as possible. Using these surrendered troops is just an urgent way to delay the troops."
Catherine replied solemnly: "Yes, my lord, we are now also training the adult and strong female villagers in Maike Village, so that they can replace our lack of soldiers at critical moments."
Kane frowned. After all, the population under his family was too scarce. If he had a territory like an earl or a marquis, he didn't have to think about it.
Looking at the southern part of the map, where the principality of Manvila occupies most of it, an idea popped up in Kane's mind.
If he joins forces with the allies of the alliance to attack Manvila, which is now incomplete, will it take back the lost territory
Immediately, Kane shook his head again. Manvila is backed by the orc empire. It is hard to guarantee that the other party will not have any backup. Moreover, it seems that some orc sources will join the other party's forces recently. If so, then they It will only be more difficult to deal with than before.
It's better not to make a move before investigating the real situation and strength of the opponent.
The plan to recapture Manvila's territory cannot be implemented for the time being.
Kane changed his mind and began to think about other feasible solutions.
On the top of his map, the surrounding environment of the territory, thinking about how to obtain new sources of troops.
correct!
As early as before, a baronial territory near the Ridgett Territory had not responded to Kane's letter.
He once wondered if it was because the lord of the territory was dead that he hadn't replied to the letter.
Coincidentally, that area is also relatively remote. Apart from Kane’s Ridgete Territory, there are no other nobles close to it. It belongs to a new territory that was just opened up decades ago, and the baron was also conferred by His Majesty the previous king. nobleman.
This is an opportunity, Kane is sure.
Immediately, he pointed to the other party's position on the map and talked to Catherine: "I need you and Marcus to organize a team to investigate the news of this territory. The other party has not replied to my letter for a long time. I suspect that this territory It has fallen into an ownerless state."
"Yes, my lord, I'm going to investigate right away." Catherine immediately took the order and turned around to execute it.
