Helena frowned dissatisfied: "I don't have time to listen to you playing riddles! What's going on!"
Finch glanced at the Countess, who was already on the verge of explosion, and gave Count Steer a look in the air that seemed sympathetic but was actually full of provocation: "Ah, the reason why this flower mutates is because it has been watered by silk spiders for many years.
of venom.
Obviously, it was not poisonous when tested before! It turns out that it has to be combined with this material to cause problems.
Tsk~”
Count Steer's expression turned ugly: "Helena only started raising silk spiders after I came back."
"This soil began to mutate more than ten years ago." Finch floated to a corner, "The soil here is obviously more polluted. Even the bottom of the stone road five meters away is dirty."
Helena sneered: "It used to be a pavilion. When I was pregnant with Linde, I liked to work there.
Later... I had to take people to defend the port and I was seriously injured and almost died in childbirth. Although the priest saved me, he also asked me to avoid appearing outside the room as much as possible.
Then... this place was ordered to be demolished.
Right, dear, this should be your mother's last order before she died unexpectedly.
Because~um~she fell and got injured in this pavilion?”
Count Steer rubbed his brow with one hand: "In other words, my mother discovered the truth here.
But what she knew was definitely not the truth. She only guessed that someone had attacked you in this pavilion.
Otherwise... Helena, you don't have to look at me like that.
You should also understand that although my mother is dissatisfied with you, she has always been very good to her three children."
"No, I'm looking at you because I want you to make it clear." Helena sneered, "She had known that the floral fragrance might make me feel uncomfortable when I was pregnant, and it would have little effect on the child.
But when I found out that I almost died because of this, I felt something was wrong and then I questioned the person who provided her with the information, but someone drew attention to the pavilion."
Count Stehr gave a bitter smile: "For the sake of my mother's ending, don't hate her anymore, Helena."
"I don't care about the pain I have suffered in the past ten years because of my love for you." Helena's eyes flashed, "But what about Linde?
After this incident, even if Dieter and Ellie don't hate this little brother, they will no longer care for him!
Being jealous and actually putting your malice into action are two different things, you can’t possibly not know that!”
Count Steer glanced at Finch, who was flying in mid-air with no intention of avoiding him, and said humbly: "Don't Linde always feel that he has extraordinary abilities?
Let him see how far he can get on his own!
If he really couldn't do it, Ellie and Dieter wouldn't be able to see him end badly.
Otherwise, Ellie wouldn’t be so excited that she would forget to keep it a secret just because she knew Linde was influenced by an external force.”
"You guy who has no biological brothers knows what a p!" Helena said expressionlessly, "My parents will become farther and farther apart because they have their own little family, let alone brothers and sisters.
Forget it, there’s no point in telling you this, let’s get Linde’s temper back first!”
Seeing that their quarrel had come to an end, Finch said calmly: "The reason why your silk spiders will have problems later is probably because they were fed the juice of this orchid."
"What do you mean?" Helena raised her head suddenly.
"So, we need to go to your silk spider cave to take a look now!" Finch said with a smile, "If I guess correctly, the reason why your spider silk has problems is because you were fed this orchid.
of juice.
This is really interesting...can they even complement each other?
Do you know where your mother got this kind of orchid? Count Stehr."
"Elf Forest." Count Steer squeezed out a few words stiffly.
"Hmm?" Finch said thoughtfully, "Maybe, I know something that allows the venom of silk spiders to contain substances that mutate orchids... crystal fruit.
However, although the silk spider is very big, its venom sac is very small. It is not possible to mutate the orchid with just a little venom.
It couldn't have been sent in from outside. Your guards at Stell are not that useless. You have been sent in so much liquid and you still don't know anything about it.
But silk spiders have very high requirements for their living environment and need a very clean living environment... They can't be raised on nearby mountains. Furthermore, if so many people are involved, you still won't feel anything.
...It was impossible for Count Stehr to come back alive from the desert bandits.
Unless someone raises a small silk spider in his room, and then feeds it with crystal fruit every day to raise it.
But crystal fruit can only be kept sealed!
Once it appears in the air, the special smell that spreads for ten miles cannot be hidden, even if someone has the ability to make it into juice.
In the same way, your home is not such a waste, and no one knows about the fragrance in your home every day."
Earl Steer's face couldn't help but twitch... This guy took advantage of him that he didn't dare to speak more, and he turned out to be useless every time he spoke.
If it was really because of a loophole in the family that they were deceived to this point, then all the rubbish would fall on his head!
Damn Finch.
"The most important thing is that Count Steer, whether he is the former or the current one, should not have the value for someone to use such an expensive crystal fruit to deal with him.
A small fruit is worth 1,000 gold coins. If you want to get this level of fruit, if it is a silk spider, you have to use at least several hundred! Right?
Even if the Stel family is not useless, it is not... that good." Helena raised her head suddenly and said in a cold tone, "I remember the housekeeper told me that for some reason, our silk spider was fed for three days.
Years later, some of the little spiders will become crippled and can only grow to two-thirds of the silk spider's normal size.
Although the spider silk is still produced, the amount is much less.
He has been looking for the reason...guessing whether we did something wrong to cause such a serious breeding problem.
But if they develop this problem because they are fed mutated orchid juice, is it possible that the silk spiders that grew up eating crystal fruits will become smaller?
It's impossible to deal with us specifically, but it's quite normal to use silk spiders that have been cultivated by others.
Moreover, isn’t the second prince’s mother’s family always famous for their skillful craftsmen?”
Finch frowned: "I know, I will investigate it carefully."
Then he glanced at Count Stehr: "Count Stehr, if possible, could you go find the Great Sage Belveland and exchange some crystal fruits?
I thought that since he had the means to plant a small tree, it would surely produce fruits."
It's normal for the great sage to have something in his hand that can be sealed and kept fresh.
Earl Steer took a deep breath: "Can you not show that you know so much about my family's affairs?"
"Well..." Finch hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "But, I hope you don't have the face to see that great sage, or that he gets tired of all the bad things in your family and kicks out your daughter as well.
ah!"
"You...why, do you dislike Ellie so much?" Count Ster asked with a frown.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid?" Finch laughed, "From the day when your Steer family knelt at the feet of the king for your own interests and suppressed our mage family, I will never treat anyone named Steer.
What kind of feelings do people have?
If I don't do it, it's just because I can't do it, not because I don't want to."
"Loyalty to the king is an oath that every knight swore from the bottom of his heart on the day he was promoted." Count Ster looked at him steadily, "Every knight who can be promoted to a high level will never betray himself.
Lord!
The faith in our hearts is the only truth that enables us to advance."
"Everything you said is right." Finch nodded in agreement, "But does this have anything to do with me?
The king wants us to give way, so we have to give way?
Ha~ I’m thinking too much.
If he has the ability, he will rob. If he doesn't have the ability... he will be like this person now, struggling like a trapped animal.
Then, let all of you, loyal ministers, be destroyed at the hands of those princes who are fighting for power... What a happy ending!"
“Although I don’t really want to come out and face this situation.
However, Mr. Finch said something so unpleasant, and in front of so many ears... I can't keep silent any longer!
After all, I still have to go back to the capital to meet people!
So, please take back your words!
My father may not be as capable as the previous king, but he just doesn't take many big actions in the military!
If he was really what you said, Sage Finch wouldn't pay so much attention to the city of Basia. You even sent the most capable of your sons here, right?
Otherwise, you shouldn't have stayed in the capital to fight for power with several vice-presidents!
Haha~ For example, the inventor of silk."
A young man with brown hair, wearing a flexible cotton and linen shirt, trousers, and a simple gray silk robe, walked slowly to the garden.
His appearance is very ordinary, with a kind face, although he can be complimented as handsome, but there is nothing special about him.
Countess Steer just turned her face to the other side, not intending to look at him at all.
"Ah...it's true." Alexey said a little embarrassed, "I really didn't want to come out. After all, it was all my fault.
so sorry……"
"What does it have to do with you?" Finch said with a smile, "Seeing the little guy who is most likely to get into trouble standing alone in the garden with a melancholy look on his face, who wouldn't take the opportunity to make some excuses!"
The corners of Prince Alexei's mouth couldn't help but twitch: "You seem to be talking a lot today."
Finch suddenly became alert: "Ah~ wait, the fragrance of this orchid... am I actually affected by it?"
