While Hill was fighting for how much fun he could get in the future, the alchemists who were digging the Golden Cloud Orchid Pond had to pause.
Although they brought enough equipment to isolate themselves from the air, for these alchemists who had been pampered for a long time, the workload was really too much.
However, in order to avoid causing the soil to mutate again due to the release of magic, Finch did not allow anyone to use magic to move the soil that had been dug for five meters without seeing the end.
When Earl Stehr and Finch were chatting back and forth, they could still divert their attention... As a member of the Alchemy Association of Basia City, the relationship with the Stehr family has always been bad. It can be seen that
The enemy's fun is quite happy for them.
However, the spiritual happiness cannot offset the pain of bending down to dig soil... They have not done this kind of hard work all year round, and they don't know how to use their strength, so they really put all their strength into every shovel and persisted all day and night.
, when they saw the scorching sun the next day, most people couldn’t hold on any longer.
After all, there are only a dozen of them.
Count Stehr actually noticed the alchemists' slower and slower movements in the morning. However, at that time, Ellie was running between the castle and the Archmage Belfran's residence, and she also wanted to help Alexei.
The prince communicated back and forth about delivery...he didn't want Finch to cause trouble in the middle.
Earl Stehr also does not want the Alchemy Association to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with the Great Sage Belfland... The Stehr family cannot control their dealings, but at least they cannot let Finch stand on Ellie's side.
Before.
If in the past, Great Sage Belfland was only the backup escape route chosen by their family, now that the Silk Incident was exposed, it was their only choice.
He even wrote a letter to Dieter as soon as the incident happened... Although he would not withdraw from the border guard immediately, Dieter must always be prepared for this.
First, Dieter must prepare the certificate for returning to Basia City to garrison... Young people who want to inherit the military noble title must have military service experience. Otherwise, if they want the heirs of the Steer family to join the army in the future, then
You have to start all over again.
Friendship must exist in every generation, no one cares how other people's children live.
If it weren't for such strict requirements, Damboro's army wouldn't be so powerful.
Fortunately, Dieter has been with him since he was a child. Time and experience have proven his ability. Young people from other families have also recognized his identity, so the harm of coming back early is not too great.
After all, because of Count Steer's original decision, Dieter was no longer qualified to compete for the leadership position of the next top military officer.
Therefore, although Dieter's return will still hurt his future to a certain extent, it is not serious enough to completely cut off the Stehr family's prospects in the military.
As long as the successor is not the second prince.
Count Ster found this ridiculous when he thought about it... After the Spider Silk incident was exposed, the most difficult thing was not the harming party, but the victims.
He even had to exaggerate the harm to the family in his letter, telling his eldest son to run away as soon as he noticed any trouble... lest Dieter, who loved military life and fought bravely in blood and fire, gave up the idea of returning home due to a moment of luck.
.
The Earl knows very well the narrow-minded superiors like the second prince... When everyone knows that he has assassinated the Stel family because of a trivial matter, he will only choose to eradicate the roots and get rid of them once and for all.
In this way, he won't have to worry about a big family plotting against him at any time.
Typical villain mentality of 'I can plot against you, but you can't resist, even knowing the truth is your fault'.
When the Ster family was not caught in the plot and found out who was plotting it, the second prince would fight them to the death.
And Dieter, who has combat missions in the army at all times, is the best target... Linde has been abolished, and the future of the Stehr family is only Dieter and Ellie.
Fortunately, there is Ellie, so that the Stell family will not lose everything.
Earl Ster stood outside the hole that was getting bigger and bigger, and even spread to the other side of the hyacinth flower pond. He calmly asked Finch, who had an evil look on his face, and asked the alchemists to show their strength: "These isolating breaths
Can the alchemy equipment be used only by yourselves?
If you need magical support, the Stur family also has a team of magic swordsmen that you can use.
This thing doesn’t need to be kept secret, right?”
Finch looked at him with a confused look on his face, and then suddenly took a few steps back quickly: "Damn it, haven't all the flowers been dug up?
Is this soil... a bigger problem?"
Earl Steer glanced at him curiously: "Are you affected again?"
Finch frowned, took out a small bottle from the storage ring and sprayed himself with ice water.
Then he looked at the Earl who was looking at him eagerly and said: "This is pure water, which can immediately relieve all kinds of toxins. Breaths like this that only affect emotions have almost immediate effects.
This is a very expensive material. Only the Great Sage can bypass the blockade set by Triton and open a gap to the elemental sea. Each time it lasts only half an hour.
If it's for Linde, you don't need to spend that money.
After he leaves the spider silk and this ghost place, he will slowly recover on his own.
And, I think, within three years at most, we should be able to find a way to relieve this impact.
Of course, if you really want to go bankrupt, then I don’t have to worry about it... My house isn’t for sale anyway.
I don’t have enough!”
Count Ster hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the mistress's bedroom on the upper floor of the castle, then looked back and asked: "So...how much does it cost?"
I'll try to ask the Great Sage Belveland... Although he is aloof, he is not cold-blooded. If he wants to save people, he will probably help a little bit."
Finch was a little surprised: "I thought you would give up on Linde... After all, you are a father who has done everything he can to be benevolent and righteous!"
Which noble noble would do this for the sake of his second son?
Your Dieter can become the most wanted brother of all the noble children in Danboro who cannot inherit the family business!
Does the Stehr family still have money?
No, can your eldest son still tolerate it? You don’t want such a good eldest son anymore? "
Count Stehr shook his head: "Dieter will understand me... If Lind still does this after his mind is clear, then it is natural to give up on him.
But... there is still a half chance that he will become the same person he once was, right?
Sir, we can’t let all the efforts we made in the past go to waste!”
Finch looked at him as if he were a madman: "Pure water is priced drop by drop, and the market price is 500 gold per drop.
You have to buy at least 100 drops to have any effect.
But people who have pure water will basically not accept gold coins."
Then his expression suddenly turned serious, and he said in a cold tone: "Where is your team of magic swordsmen?
Why are you still procrastinating?
Are we doing the work only for ourselves?"
Earl Stehr knew that Finch had completely recovered from the ups and downs of emotions he had been affected by, and he was the Finch branch president who was hostile to the Stehr family.
"Joshua!" Count Ster turned around and shouted loudly... The window of his study was pushed open, and a messy head poked out.
"I'm here! What do you want me to do?"
"Bring a team of magic swordsmen to help the mages!"
"yes!"
Joshua quickly ran over with twelve fully armed magic swordsmen, and quickly replaced the alchemists who were too tired to move.
"Where is your butler Ted?" Finch looked at Joshua who was directing his men to work and asked calmly.
"The castle needs someone to clean it up." Count Ster's tone was equally calm.
However, hidden under this calmness are countless bloody storms.
"There seems to be a connection between Prince Alexei and the respected Great Sage." Finch turned to look at him, "You seem to have a very good attitude towards him, so good that I almost thought you chose a side.
."
"He is only twenty years old, and no one in his mother's family can teach him." Count Ster said softly, "However, he... ha~ I don't believe you can't see his role in this matter.
If you have a better attitude, you will never go wrong."
"The Danboro royal family will always have such characters." Finch looked forward with a solemn expression, "On the contrary, the current king is a bit mutated."
"The second prince's familiarity with crystal fruits and silk spiders made me think that he was the one who discovered this thing." Count Steer sneered.
"My father already knew about this." Finch said very solemnly, "He directly found the Great Sage Ismail."
"Um?"
"If there is anyone who doesn't want to see the Danboro royal family become what it is now... of course it's only Ismail.
The man in the palace will only believe in Ismail."
Earl Ster looked at him in surprise: "What?
Are you planning to search the palace directly?"
"The existence of the Damboro royal family is still necessary." Finch said without changing his expression, "We are just competing, and we have no intention of trapping you.
At least there is no reason that cannot be related to our Alchemy Association.
The development of Spider Silk comes from us, and naturally we can only finish it.
At least the nobles must know that the silk spider is dangerous and needs to be sealed first.
However, which noble would cut off his financial lifeline before seeing the truth with his own eyes?
Only the fact that the king was killed can make them wary."
"Where's the Spider Master?"
"That is a powerful man who is about to become a great sage. The Alchemy Association can only take back his words."
"Huh?" Earl Steer reacted suddenly, "So...at most the king declares that he is an unwelcome guest in Damborough, and everything else remains as usual?"
"That's not necessarily true. Doesn't the Danboro royal family also have its own great sage?"
"This world... is really crazy."
"That's good, at least the king dared to expel him.
Although crystal energy weapons cannot be used easily, they are not impossible to use."
"So... what a disgusting world you want to go back to?"
