Chapter 10 The Terrible Raven
"Well, the fish fillet is bright red and mixed with white patterns. If you read it correctly, it should be a Citigroup white fish, right?
This deep-sea fish rarely appears and is a relatively rare fish.
As far as I know, fish oil made from it is quite expensive and is a very valuable magic material.” Lei Wen thought about it and replied seriously.
All the nobles here are, and it is rare to cook. How could they know this?
“Ah, it turns out that this is Citigroup??
You said it well, fish oil made with it is precious, and I know many alchemy recipes need it.
For example, the most commonly used attack potion is a very important material, and I am practicing making it.
But the price of fish oil is getting more and more expensive now. A small bottle of 10 grams is worth 30 golden dragons, and you have to go to a large commercial city to buy it." Alice looked at the fish fillets on the dining table in surprise. If these were really Citigroupfish, she would have wanted to take them all. It would be a waste to use them as ingredients.
"Aggression potion??I know it, it is said that it can greatly improve endurance over a period of time, and it is immune to most control methods. For example, freezing, binding, dizziness..." Niya couldn't help but say.
It is difficult for her to use high-end items like attack potion. How can she bear it if she uses dozens of golden dragons? But this does not mean that she doesn't need it. In fact, most knights need it very much. Putting a small bottle on her body at critical moments may help her. The big knight family will basically hoard some of them and even become competition prizes within the family.
However, what Raven said did not mean that he was right. Maybe he was just talking nonsense? Especially Natalie looked disbelieving. In her eyes, Raven could not do anything except to speak out, and turned her eyes very much looking forward to Fred's expectation to be able to slap him in the face.
Baron Fred looked at everyone staring at him and immediately revealed the answer.
He nodded to Raven with great approval and said, "You are right. This is Citigroup White Grouper. Lord Earl sent me to escort Phili's caravan before. On the way, we were attacked by a group of pirates of unknown origin. Fortunately, we were in danger in the end. The captain of the caravan gave me this big fish at the port, and he said it was a very precious fish. It was originally a gift to my old friend, so I would like to express my gratitude to Lord Earl.
Actually, I was surprised at that time and actually gave me a fish. But I couldn't refuse it in person, so I accepted it.
After I came back and asked some scholars, I realized its value.
It is said that it is a good ingredient, so the chefs asked them to prepare some for everyone to taste it. "Fred said this a little embarrassed. To be honest, the fish is not delicious.
"Hey, Uncle Fred, who told you that this is the ingredient? It's a waste. How many more do you leave? Can you give me some?" Alice looked at Fred with great anticipation. In her eyes, these are precious alchemy materials, especially the liver and fat tissue of fish are good things for making fish oil.
Judging from such a large plate of fish, this must be a big fish and is of great value.
"Well, I have put the fish in the ice cellar of Lord Earl, and there is still a large part of it." Baron Fred wanted to speak, but stopped. This was given to the count by the captain of the caravan, and the lady needed to ask her father rather than herself.
"Ha, it turns out that there is such a story behind this fish? It seems that I need to write a thank you letter to Captain Rogers. This gift is interesting." Earl Carrick looked at the fish with a smile, picked up another piece and chewed it carefully, frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's the first time I have received such a special gift. Someone even offered 2,000 Golden Dragon to acquire it. It's definitely worth a few sets of very high-quality knight equipment.
Phili has been developing rapidly over the years, and it is absolutely the right choice to sign a port interoperability exemption agreement with them. They really need our ice crystal mines and a large number of specialty resources, and we also need their high-quality magic equipment and magic pattern products. But the pirates who have been cruising around here for many years are really troublesome... We must open up a safe passage to get it done once and for all." Fred unconsciously shifted the topic to the work he is currently at hand.
He has been busy communicating with Phili. You should know that although the two were separated by one sea before, Phili had always treated the North Wind Castle very well, the Count was always not interested in them. On the one hand, he was a little afraid of this emerging small country across the sea. They were rapidly rising because of the addition of some half-elves and dwarves. On the other hand, out of their loyalty to His Majesty the King, he could not open up a private channel without instructions.
But the current situation forced the Count to consider leaving a way out for himself. In fact, Frey understood his idea very well, so he did this very hard and responsible.
"...We'll talk about this after dinner." The Count nodded slightly, not wanting to talk about such an important topic in front of the children.
In his opinion, none of his children could count on.
Originally, she had high hopes for her eldest daughter, but she was not interested in becoming a knight. After studying for so many years, she was still a half-baked intermediate knight, and she didn't even find the threshold for a big knight. Instead, she was very fascinated by magic patterns. This emerging knowledge that had only begun to develop in the past century was of no use in the eyes of the Count. At most, it was just a toy that the upper class showed off.
Although my daughter made my own stove and portable hand lantern, it is really good, but can I deal with the enemy by eating?
The key is that learning it is expensive and it is simply a bottomless pit. If I hadn't loved her deeply, it would have restricted her from studying in this area.
As for the second daughter, she inherited the blood and will of the family, but she was indifferent and serious, and was stubborn. She had a dispute with herself in her early years and had not been home for almost five years, and she didn't know what she was doing now.
Not to mention the younger daughter, she was left to her old friend since she was a child. She is said to have a good alchemy talent.
However, alchemy and magic patterns seem to be no different in the eyes of the Count. It is just a useless and self-entertainment knowledge...
How can fancy things be compared with real hard power? An ordinary warrior can't beat an enemy who is stronger than his strength even if he uses the best equipment. Only cowards will place their hopes on other aspects.
Speaking of which, the Detrein family was able to maintain its foothold in Ryan for hundreds of years, relying on the knight tradition passed down from generation to generation.
This is a world where strength is the most respected and speaks with fists.
Unfortunately, his generation is so young and distant...
I can only pin my hopes on my grandson, but now I don’t even have a shadow...
"Brother-in-law, you are so amazing. You can tell what kind of fish it is from fish. It's true that you are very knowledgeable." Just when the count fell into depression again, Alice couldn't help but break the silence first. This time she didn't want to attract her father's attention, but she really looked at her with admiration. Especially, she knew the value of fish oil, which sounded like she was a little researching on alchemy.
Only a few noble children can learn knowledge like alchemy. Only civilians can only get to know each other with extremely high talent and are valued by alchemists and have the opportunity to dabble in. Since Alice returned to the territory, she is the least used to being a person around her who can discuss and learn. Now, Beifeng Castle does not have a professional alchemy institution, but in fact she wants to set up one by herself.
"......I'm used to eating, drinking and having fun, and it's not uncommon to know each other." Natalie originally wanted to refute fiercely, but after all, this was a family dinner and seemed very restrained and could only indirectly attack. It was because of her sister's attitude that made her secretly worried.
It would be fine if she fell into the pit by herself, but she must not be allowed to come in too.
She is actually a very sensitive person and seems to feel that her father looks at her sister in a wrong way.
Now that his father has even gone astrayed in order to get his grandson, she dares to promise that if the situation allows, he can even marry his daughter to the prodigal son.
She must not allow Lei Wen, who is ignorant, abandons his family, and is decadent and depressed, to get involved in his sister, which will definitely ruin her life's happiness.
In her eyes, Lei Wen has even risen to the level of a demon. If you can't get it, you can use this method to retaliate against her??
