Chapter 104 Let’s do an experiment
The garden of the castle is very lively today. Katie is teaching Maria to draw, Sofia is watching, and Psyche is enchanting Frederick in the stone pavilion. class.
"How does it feel when the conspiracy succeeds?"
The funny look on Psyche's face never stopped from the beginning.
While giggling, Frederick pretended not to know what she was asking and was practicing the four variations of the fireball technique.
There was hope for treatment for the lung disease, and Sophia decided to live with Wesson so that she could receive treatment more conveniently.
At the same time, Maria also stayed here.
Philip had nothing to say and embarked on a business trip alone.
The family doesn’t have to worry about things in Luo Er. The territory is under the stewardship of the housekeeper, so it won’t be a big deal. Even if something happens, he will come over quickly on horseback.
Psyche deliberately wanted to distract Frederick while casting the spell, so she said: "If you can win next year, your marriage to Maria will definitely be successful."
Frederick turned his head hurriedly and found that the other party didn't seem to hear her. He turned back and glared at her fiercely.
Some things can be seen by a discerning person at a glance, and explanations are redundant.
Not to mention that Katie has updated the list of people suitable to be Frederick's wives within a hundred miles, and Maria is in the first and highest position.
The current minimum age for marriage is 16 years old. It is not uncommon to get married at an older age, but there is no limit on the age for engagement.
When the king of the Kingdom of Gaul was in his early 20s, he wanted to marry the royal family of the kingdom of Tarago, his neighbor to the southwest. The royal family of Tarago gave away a 7-year-old princess to the marriage, but Gaul eventually returned the goods and exchanged them. people.
Marriage and love between nobles are not the first priority. This kind of marriage is more like the reorganization of shares after the merger of two companies. Family interests are the first priority. Arranged marriages for profit, let alone young age, marriage first, etc. It is common to hold weddings when you are older.
It’s just that Frederick’s current situation is very delicate. Everyone knows that King William is going to attack him. Everyone thinks that he will not lose, but no one will stand easily until the final decision is made. side.
Of course Frederick also understood these things, so we will wait and see.
“By the way!” Frederick began to change the subject, “You actually want to borrow money from the bank?”
The bank opened thanks to Giovanni’s efforts, and he had his own The core team recruited some of the original currency exchangers and soon started operating.
His first job was to review a pile of plans given to him by Frederick, one of which was Psyche's.
Frederick was happy at first, thinking that Psyche was finally going to take action, but he was confused after opening her plan.
Psyche said matter-of-factly: "What's weird, just tell me whether you approve it or not."
Frederick said extremely depressed: "I thought it would cost so much money. You want to build an aircraft factory or something, but you end up making soy sauce!”
Psyche sneered and said, “I’m just happy to make soy sauce.”
Frederick vaguely felt something was wrong, and the sticky fireball in his hand shook violently.
But it doesn’t matter, soy sauce is just soy sauce. She picked up all the money anyway, as long as she is happy.
Frederick asked again: "Then you won't sell anything else?"
Psyche shook his head and said: "Do you think making soy sauce is so simple? The bacteria used for fermentation require Look for it slowly, or you may have to go to Taohua Stone to get it back."
Frederick didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say: "Why go to war in such a big way."
Psyche just sneered. Frederick followed her. Anyway, soybean planting will be promoted next year, and the harvest in the seed field this year is not bad, with one hectare weighing 900 kilograms.
Next year many newly reclaimed farmland will be planted with soybean fertilizer. Even if the yield is not high, the total output will not be low as the area increases. Soybean fried tofu and soybean baskets can be arranged. .
The two chatted for half an hour, and Frederick dispersed the fireball in his hand. He was so tired that he took several breaths.
For beginners, it is easy to cast magic continuously for a long time at first, but in the middle and late stages, the mental power consumed doubles.
Today he learned the fireball technique to change the inner type without changing the appearance, but he is not yet proficient in it and needs more practice.
Psyche poured tea into the two empty teacups on the table, and Frederick picked up his own teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Frederick rested for a while and said seriously: "I have an experiment this afternoon, and I would like to ask you to guide me."
Psyche held the tea cup and drank quietly. He took a sip and then nodded.
In the afternoon, Frederick took Psyche to the cell under the castle.
The place is eerie and the air is a bit stuffy. Under the dim light, you can see the dusty iron shackles, rose whips, wooden donkeys and other torture instruments in the torture chamber.
Psyche asked with a smirk: "What, you want to try whether you are a masochist?"
Frederick did not answer, but walked forward quietly.
The cells on both sides along the way have thick iron doors. The bars on the doors reveal dim lights. There are people inside, all of them women. You can also hear the sound of water and the smell of water. There was water vapor with a strange smell coming out of it.
Psyche immediately understood what these cells and the women in them were for, and her face turned dark.
Frederick said to them: "You go out first and do it later."
The maids responsible for growing mushrooms responded and quickly left.
Psyche sighed and said: "I have been to many castles and seen many cells, but this is the first time I have seen people growing walking mushrooms in cells."
Frederick said with a smile: "It's all empty anyway, so we can make good use of it."
"Don't you think it's a good place to grow walking mushrooms? Once the door is closed, you won't be afraid that they will mature and run around."< br>
While talking, the two came to the end of the cell corridor. There was a thick wooden door, which opened to a staircase that went deeper underground.
This staircase leads to the control core of Weissenburg City's magic defense system. During wartime, someone will go there to activate and control the entire city's defensive magic array.
After taking two steps, Frederick stopped and opened a secret door on the side of the stairs.
Behind the door is a large stone room where guards can stay during war. If an enemy breaks into the passage, they can come out and attack from both front and rear after the enemy passes through.
Psyche felt that the area around here was special, and the magic elements were nowhere to be seen.
The defense system of Weissenburg City requires a huge amount of energy. There are many energy-gathering magic arrays that absorb the surrounding magic elements to charge them. This results in some areas without magic elements.
On the table in the room were eight iron jars the size of household pressure cookers, with several thermometers inserted into the lids. There was a cube of red magic crystal and a magic array board beside the pot.
Frederick placed the magic lamp in his hand on the table, and then said to Psyche: "There is no interference from magic elements around here, so it is very suitable for the next experiment."
