"You came too late, Claude." Madam Maria put down the book in her hand and stared at Claude seriously.
Claude looked up at the sky. Isn't it already nine o'clock? He left early in the morning, and his father personally drove him to the foot of the mountain in a carriage. He didn't even dare to go up the mountain road, so it took him more than ten minutes to arrive.
Manor villa in this forest farm.
"It takes a lot of time for you to go back and forth like this every day. Let's do this. You can stay here at night, and I will ask Lutheran to arrange a room for you. I will send someone to your father's place to talk to him. Is there any problem?" Mary?
Mrs. Ya made the arrangements considerately.
"No problem, I'm at your command." Claude thought about the long conversation his father had in the study last night and the details about Mrs. Maria revealed, and decided to just obey the order obediently, instead of just staying up for ten days.
Half a month? I suffered more grievances than this when I was working in my previous life, so I endured it and it passed.
"Well, put down the matchlock gun. You are not really asked to be a guard. You have to stay with me during this period as my experimental assistant and help me deal with the Niros crocodile specimen. Follow me.
Put on your clothes first."
This dress is actually similar to the white coats worn by doctors in previous lives, except that the material is made of fine linen and the color is gray.
After entering the door of the pharmaceutical laboratory, Madam Marian began to instruct Claude on how to handle the Niros crocodile specimen: "You use your magic hands to first remove those irrelevant components, and then use precise control to turn your magic hands into knives.
, and then separate the outer skin of this Niros crocodile from the inner membrane..."
"Yes, madam." There are no outsiders here, so Claude can use magic with confidence.
Butler Lutheran also brought tea and snacks to Mrs. Maria.
So Mrs. Maria sat and sipped tea while watching Claude handle the crocodile specimen. From time to time she would tell Claude to be careful and what to do. Claude stood there motionless. And the crocodile specimen
The crocodile specimen seemed to be alive. Sometimes it turned over, sometimes stood upright, and its skin kept peeling off. This scene looked particularly weird.
Claude only completed one-third of the work in one morning. It seems that today's time will be spent on the skin of this giant crocodile specimen.
"Okay, let's go have some lunch first, and then I'm going to take a nap before continuing in the afternoon. If you don't want to take a nap, you can read here. By the way, Claude, the food you cooked last night was delicious. I
I admire your cooking skills very much. So I decided to leave the dinner to you. If you need any ingredients, write a list and give it to Lutheran, and he will meet your request..."
Claude smiled bitterly: "Okay, madam, I will follow your instructions."
This is all Mr. Morsanne's fault. Last evening, Mrs. Maria visited her home and was talking about Claude. Mr. Morsanne agreed and let Claude go to serve as a guard at Mrs. Maria's forest farm. He refused.
Let wild boars and idlers disturb Lady Maria's purity.
After the matter was finished, Mrs. Maria and the housekeeper naturally wanted to say goodbye and leave. Mr. Morsan was gracious enough to invite Mrs. Maria to stay for dinner. Regardless of whether it was hypocritical or not, Mrs. Maria would only be polite.
Rejected. But Mr. Morsan never changed his words and said that Claude is a good cook and often makes some delicious dishes at home that are not available outside, making people want to eat them...
So Lady Maria got interested and decided to stay and taste Claude's cooking. Then Claude was promoted from wild boar butcher to kitchen chef.
Claude did not disappoint his father and cooked a large table of dishes from his previous life. In his opinion, these dishes were not as good as those he had made in his previous life. The main reason was that many seasonings and ingredients were not found in this world and were all substituted.
supplies, so the taste is much worse when cooked.
But this was enough to surprise Mrs. Maria and Butler Lutheran. Most of the dishes on the table had never been heard of in the royal capital. When they tasted it, they almost swallowed it with their own tongues. It was so delicious.
Mrs. Maria was very embarrassed in the end because she almost couldn't hold herself up after eating. For a lady, this was a very embarrassing behavior...
Mr. Morsan was proud but also a little regretful. Perhaps he should not have arranged for Claude to join the army with his godfather on the continent of Nubicia after graduation. Instead, it seemed more appropriate to follow Madam Maria as a chef.
Sure enough, Claude came to report to Madam Maria today and was arranged to cook dinner. Think about it, last night Mr. Morsan called Claude to the study after seeing off Madam Maria and his party, and asked Claude in detail
After all the details of getting to know Lady Maria, I couldn't help but feel happy in the end. But Claude was a little confused, wasn't she just a baroness? It was no big deal.
Mr. Morsant hates iron. Who is this Lady Maria? She is from the Feng Norman family. She is a person who can hear directly from heaven. Her words are sometimes more effective than those of the ministers in the palace.
some.
Mr. Morsant began to tell Claude about the history of the Fon-Normanry family, and at the same time he felt very regretful. At this time, he especially hated his father, Claude's grandfather, Husbi. He thought that if he
If my father, Husby, had not been like a guard dog guarding this big red brick house in White Deer, but followed Sterling IX to conquer the north and south, then maybe his family would not be better than
How different is this Feng Normanli family...
Because the founder of the Fon Normanry family was originally just a shoemaker in White Deer Town, named Alpheus Normanly. Like Claude's grandfather Hasby, he joined the army of Sterling IX.
It's just that Husby stayed in the name of recuperating after receiving the reward of this big red brick house, but this Alpheus Normanli followed Sterling IX all the way to the end of the war, and with his loyalty
, his honesty, bravery and conscientiousness were highly valued by King Stirling IX. As his most trusted guard, he was made a hereditary baron and given the title Feng.
"At that time, among the recruits who followed Sterling IX from White Deer Town and the soldiers of the Stone Sentry Musket Garrison, he was the only one among the twenty or so who survived after the war to be granted a hereditary baron. Although the rest
He was named a noble for three generations, but he has not yet received the title. This Alpheus Norman has saved Sterling IX three times. It is said that he should have been granted the title of Viscount, but he was dismissed because of his low birth status.
It was only because of criticism that he was demoted to one rank."
Mr. Morsan has always been very familiar with the family backgrounds of the nobles from the three southwest counties of the kingdom, not to mention that this Alpheus Fon Norman is also an original resident of White Deer Town.
"After Stirling IX came to the throne, he still had great trust in Alpheus Feng Normanli and appointed him as the head of the royal guard. However, during his second expedition to the Kingdom of Nasseri, Alpheus was seriously injured and died.
After his death, Sterling IX adopted a pair of his children and lived with his son, now Sterling X, in the palace."
Mr. Morsant said to Claude seriously: "This Lady Maria is the daughter of Baron Alpheus. She is called brother and sister to Sterling X. His brother inherited his father's inheritance and is now the royal court's daughter."
The head of the security guard. Lady Maria’s husband is the deputy commander of the Royal Guards Corps, Viscount Katf.
Originally, Lady Maria should be called Viscountess, but after King Stirling promoted her brother Colster to Viscount, he gave her the hereditary baronet left by their father, so she likes to be called her.
For the Baroness.
In addition, this Lady Maria is also a well-known mid-level pharmacist in the royal capital. Almost all the patients in the palace are treated by her. In the aristocratic circle of the royal capital, this Lady Maria has great influence.
Even the Prime Minister would not dare to offend her easily, otherwise he would probably be punished by the Prime Minister's wife to kneel down when he returns home."
Mr. Morsan thought he was humorous and told an anecdote that the Prime Minister of the Kingdom was afraid of his wife, and then told Claude: "This Madam Maria has always been low-key, does not like to participate in political affairs, and is not willing to help others. It is said that she
What I like most is conducting pharmaceutical research, and I often stay in the laboratory for several days.
The forestry farm in Bailu Town was purchased by her father after he became rich. However, the family rarely came back. The few times they came for vacation were in a hurry, and they basically did not interact with the upper class of Bailu Town. Only a few
Only a few people are allowed to visit the forest farm.
Claude, it is a good thing to win the favor of Madam Maria, but you must remember not to offend this madam. As long as she has any needs, you must try your best to do it. Father is planning something during this time.
The big thing is now close to success.
As long as this can be done, our family will not have to worry about running out of money in the future, and maybe we can add a title to our family. At that time, we may need this lady to help us put in a few good words in the royal capital to implement this title.
So, when you go to the forest farm tomorrow, you must remember what I said and don’t make this lady angry, do you understand?”
Only then did Claude know that Mrs. Maria had such a good background. He remembered that he had wanted to kill someone when they first met. Now he could only be glad that he did not do it. Otherwise, if the murder of Mrs. Maria came out, all the kingdom would be guaranteed.
All the police detectives will be mobilized, and they will not give up until Bailu Town is turned upside down and the murderer is caught.
No matter how well I disguised myself, I couldn't hide from the eyes of the police detectives. At the very least, I carried a matchlock gun and walked out of my house. I called a carriage and went in that direction. Many people saw it, and the carriage driver took me to the foot of the mountain road.
I just went back. If you really want to kill people and silence them, there will be a lot of people to kill. In the end, they may kill more and more people...
So now Claude can only pretend to be a grandson and obey orders.
In the afternoon, I still skinned crocodiles, and in the evening I became a chef.
the next day.
"Claude, today we are going to scrape off the muscles inside the crocodile skin. You should use precise control to turn your magic hand into a scraper to do this job."
"Madam, why don't you use your magic hand to do it directly with a scraper? That way I can relax and cast less spells."
"No, the membrane used to make the rune paper must have as little contact with iron as possible, because the iron will affect the magical quality of the membrane and even scratch the membrane. I used to use a bamboo knife to do this in the capital. You use precise
Controlling the transformation of the magic hand into a scraper can ensure that the skin film will have the best magic effect after it becomes rune skin paper."
"Okay, ma'am, I'll start now."
"Wait a minute, Claude, the big plate of fried noodles I had at your house the night before yesterday tasted good. Let's eat this fried noodles tonight too."
"Okay, ma'am, as you wish."
The third day.
"Claude, today we are going to divide this membrane into pages. The magic scroll needs to be as big as two pages. After the division is completed, soak it in the Tianxing potion for twenty-four hours and then take it out to dry.
, um. You also have to use the precise control of the magic hand to perform the cutting, do you understand?"
"Madam, what is this Tianxing Potion?"
"The book contains the formula and instructions for the Star Potion. You can take a look. It is mainly used to enhance the magic adsorption of the skin. This way, when the rune paper is made into a rune paper and the magic array structure of the spell is engraved, it will not be affected by the magic power.
The fault causes the spell to become ineffective."
"That's it. Thank you madam for your advice."
"Well, since you want to thank me, I won't be polite. You can make some good food tonight."
"Okay, ma'am."
The fourth day.
"Claude, the membrane is still drying today, so it's okay. I think you can take your matchlock gun to the forest farm for a walk. The fried pork liver I had at your house last time tasted really good. I didn't expect it.
These internal organs that are about to be thrown away can be made into delicious food by you. Well, if you can still hunt wild boar today, you can make another stir-fried pork liver... Last time you said that pork liver improves eyesight, and I have been busy these two days.
I feel like I'm a little dazzled..."
"Madam, I have been busy, you just sat and drank tea and watched me do things..."
"I get dazzled just by watching you do things. I need to eat some pork liver to supplement..."
Claude protested: "Madam, you asked me to be your experimental assistant, not to be a chef."
"Okay, Claude, to be honest, I actually think you shouldn't be a magician, nor should you study pharmacy. You should be a chef. If you keep being a chef, you will definitely become famous all over the continent in the future.
The chef..."
"lady!"
"Haha, just kidding, go to the mountain quickly, I really want to eat that stir-fried pork liver today..."
