Taking out the four pieces of oil paper he brought, Irving packaged the four pieces of soap that he had made and took them out of the laboratory.

Seeing Owen come out, Marpel, who was guarding outside the door, also followed him.

"Just right, Mapel." Owen handed over a piece of soap wrapped in oil paper, "I'll give you one."

Reaching out to take the thing wrapped in oil paper, Mapel asked curiously: "Mr. Owen, what is this?"

"Soap." Owen explained, "a detergent that can effectively remove dirt on the surface of the skin and keep the skin clean."

"Thank you, Sir Owen."

Mapel carefully put away the soap. This was a new thing invented by Owen, so be careful.

"You can try it when you take a shower tonight. I guarantee the effect will surprise you." Owen suggested confidently.

"Yes, I will." Mapel nodded.

Since Mr. Owen recommended it so, let’s give it a try tonight, she thought to herself.

Owen made a total of four bars of soap. Except for one for his own use, the other three were intended to be given away, and Mapel was just one of them.

Next, Owen took Marpel to school, and it was time for school to end when he arrived.

Owen found Teresa to learn about the recent situation at school, and then gave her a piece of soap, which he highly recommended to use when taking a bath.

When going back, Owen picked up Yukina by the way, and this last piece of soap was prepared for her.

As soon as she got the gift, Yuqina was very excited and couldn't wait to open it and saw that it was a yellow solid with a nice fragrance.

Thinking it was something delicious, she almost bit the bar of soap.

"Wait! You can't eat that!" Fortunately, Owen stopped him in time.

Then, he patiently explained: "This is soap, not for food, but for bathing. You can wash your body clean."

"So it's not for food." Yuqina suddenly lost interest in the soap.

She is obviously a vampire who can survive only on blood, but she is very interested in human food. She is indeed a little glutton.

Back at the castle, since it was certain that Owen would never go out again today, Mapel's work was considered over and she could go home to rest.

That night, Mapel asked the maid to boil a large pot of hot water, pour it into the wooden tub in the bathroom, and add some cold water to make a suitable warm water.

After the maid prepared the bath water, Mapel entered the bathroom.

At this time, the armor on her body had long been removed, and she was only wearing thin white clothes, revealing her graceful body curves.

Today I have been running around with Owen all day long, and I also secretly carried out daily training in my free time. I have shed a lot of sweat, and it is sticky and sticky on my skin, which is quite uncomfortable. Now I can finally take a nice shower.

Undoing the hair tie tied into a ponytail, her long blue hair fell down.

Then, Mapel took off her clothes, came to the edge of the wooden bathtub, and stirred the warm water in the basin a few times with her hands. The temperature was just right.

Just as she was about to get into the water, she suddenly remembered the soap that Owen gave her, saying that it was recommended to use it when taking a bath.

So, Mapel turned around to find the soap and removed the oil paper wrapping it.

I brought it to my nose and smelled it. Sure enough, there was a floral fragrance, which was refreshing and very pleasant.

"It seems to be the scent of roses." Mapel guessed.

Try the soap now.

"ah--"

Mapel got into the water and lay down in the wooden bathtub. The warm water soaked up to her collarbones and moisturized her whole body, making her moan in comfort.

After a busy day, soaking your tired body in hot water really makes you feel comfortable.

Afterwards, Marpel picked up the soap and tried to wipe her arms, and she was able to create foam, which was really interesting.

Then scoop up hot water with your hands to wash away the foam. The sticky feeling of sweat on the skin disappears instantly, and is replaced by refreshing and silky skin.

The cleaning effect made Mapel very happy. No wonder Lord Owen recommended it so strongly. This soap is indeed a good thing.

When she realized the benefits of soap for the first time, she couldn't wait to use it to wipe her whole body and wash away all the sticky feeling all over her body.

"Hey!"

Unexpectedly, when Mapel held the soap with a little force, it slipped out of her hands and fell into the wooden bathtub.

"This soap soaked in water is too slippery."

Shaking her head helplessly, she had no choice but to put her hand into the hot water and fish out the soap.

This time, you have to be careful.

Mapel stood up in the wooden bathtub, grabbed the soap and began to wipe her body.

Skip the subsequent bathing process...

When Mapel returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, she felt that her body was lighter.

Tonight was the most comfortable bath she had ever experienced. The usual sticky feeling on her body was gone, and her skin seemed to be firmer and smoother than before.

After putting on clean clothes, a feeling of coolness permeated my whole body.

When I raised my arms, I seemed to be able to smell the scent of roses left by the soap on my skin, making me feel very relaxed and happy.

Sitting on the bed, Mapel grabbed the soft mattress. She should be able to sleep comfortably tonight.

Just then, she remembered that Teresa had also received the same bar of soap.

"She should have the same feeling as me taking a shower tonight."

Somehow, a feeling of jealousy surged into Marpel's heart. It would be great if that was a gift specially given to him by Lord Owen.

Boom!

A maid knocked on the door outside.

"What's the matter?" asked Mapel.

The maid outside responded: "Dinner is ready, Miss Jarvis."

"I know, I'll be here soon."

After the maid withdrew, Mapel shook her head, then reached out and patted her cheek to remind herself.

"Don't mix personal feelings. The duty of a knight is to protect the lord. Don't think about anything else."

…

Owen also tried the soap after returning to the castle, and the effect was great.

After taking a shower and continuing to work, he felt that his thoughts seemed to be clearer, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

This afternoon, Owen decided to form a fleet, so he quickly checked the drawings to see how to build a ship suitable for transporting goods.

Summoning the system, opening the folder, he flipped through the many ship design drawings inside.

After reading it, Owen couldn't help but fell into deep thought, what kind of ship should be built better?

Most of the design drawings provided by Winster are large steel cargo ships built with steel as the main material.

There is no doubt that building such a transport cargo ship is the best. The overall strength of the ship is guaranteed and the transportation volume is large.

However, doing so will directly consume all the iron ore reserves in Bianzhu Town.

If all the iron is used to build ships, what about the iron needed to make steam engines, muskets and artillery? What about other places where iron is needed?
