The war is over, but its effects continue to ferment.
The first people to be affected were the nobles of the empire. Because of this incident, King Byrne VI began to set up a special agency to investigate a large number of nobles, and among these nobles, there were indeed a small number of problems, including those around them. spies from several countries.
As for the results of these nobles, it goes without saying that they all died miserably.
Of course, it was more than that. He also began to clean up all aspects of the empire. Economy, politics, and military were all top priorities. Drastic reforms and tough measures made people panic for a while.
Those who were affected privately said that the king must be crazy, but only Eli knew that this was the king's final preparation for the prince to succeed the king.
Change takes time, and Eli estimates it will take years.
During this process, Eli was rarely affected, but people around him were greatly affected.
Due to the economic reform, Roland's Chamber of Commerce actually became prosperous with this wave of wind from the palace. The strength of the Chamber of Commerce began to expand, and the scope of its business also began to expand, showing a feeling of prosperity.
And because the king took back part of the iron ore, the power of the Elena family has shrunk a bit. Of course, there must be an exchange of interests. Eli doesn't know about it, and he doesn't know much about it.
Herman's father seemed to be involved and was imprisoned. Then the eldest son inherited the noble title. Several other heirs divided the family property and left Herman a house on the outskirts of King's Landing.
The sudden accident caused Herman to completely lose the hope of inheriting the title, but this made Bachelor Lemon extremely happy because he felt that this would allow Herman to concentrate on his studies.
But reality tells Maester Lemon that character is difficult to change.
…
"Herman, you made a mistake again!!"
"Fortunately, the scholar test has been cancelled. If you accidentally passed it, it would simply lower the overall level of the scholar. Can't you be more serious?"
The study room was filled with the angry voice of Bachelor Lemon. Eli was helping analyze the materials, while Herman stood aside and accepted the concern from Lemon.
But at this time, Heman just stood quietly with his head lowered.
"sorry!"
A low-pitched voice sounded like a twitch, and Lemon, who was scolding Zheng Huan, was stunned for a moment.
"Uh...it's okay. What happened?" Bachelor Lemon knew Heman's character, so something must have happened.
"I received the news this morning that my father died in prison." Herman said sadly, tears falling on the ground drop by drop.
Maester Lemon fell silent for a moment.
Eli also looked over. No wonder Heman was always in a trance today.
"Well, it's okay. In fact, what you made today is pretty good." Bachelor Lemon was stunned for a few seconds before saying.
"Eli, take him out to play and take a rest!" He said to Eli beside him.
"Yeah!" Eli stood up and took Heman out.
"Eli, do you think I'm stupid? Why am I always so unable to do anything well?"
Walking down the corridor, Herman looked at Eli with tears on his face.
"Of course not. Maester Lemon scolds you because he thinks you still have hope for improvement. If he really ignores you, then it really means that you are useless." Eli consoled him.
Although Herman is his senior, he is similar in age to Eli, both are twenty years old this year.
"Maybe." Herman shook his head.
"My father is also dead. I will move to that house from now on, and I will work hard in the future." Suddenly, Herman raised his head, wiped away his tears, and said with a smile.
"That's good!" Eli smiled and said, "It's rare to have some leisure time today, so let's do this. I'll take you to have some fun."
"Okay, where to go?" Herman replied with his teeth exposed.
"Well, let's go play in Moon Lane and Liuying Lane."
"I haven't been there? Have you been there?"
"How could I have been there? I risked my life to accompany the knight today. If I didn't make you happy, how could I have gone to that place?" Eli shook his head and said.
"Thank you." Herman smiled.
Entertainment time always flies by.
Herman only remembered that he was being taken along by Eli, eating, drinking and having fun. The process was very enjoyable and made him feel as if he had ascended into the clouds. It was his happiest day.
But when he returned home, he also felt vaguely suspicious.
Why do the ladies in Liuying Lane seem to know Eli?
Moreover, Eli is too familiar, as if he is home.
…
Herman recovered well and worked harder the next day and made fewer mistakes.
This made Bachelor Lemon overjoyed. The only uncomfortable thing was that no one seemed to scold him recently, which made him feel a little aggrieved.
Of course, this mission still had to be undertaken by Heman, so Bachelor Lemon raised Heman's standards, and the happy days returned, but Heman was still being scolded.
As a result, the teachers and students returned to their once peaceful lives.
Eli is also getting closer and closer to successfully configuring the magic potion.
It should be successful within a year.
But three months later.
Midway through the experiment, he seemed to have encountered a little accident.
…
Three months later!
"The 1,111th experiment, the materials are purple iris, ghost head mushroom..., the specific ratio is 6:1:..."
At the experiment table, Eli carefully wrote down the experimental data, and then picked up the prepared potion.
Walking towards the corner of the laboratory, a huge transparent box was placed here. There were many white mice jumping around inside, and they looked very active.
In vivo experiment!
He took out a white mouse.
Eli moved him to another box and drank a few milliliters of the prepared solution.
The mouse drank the liquid, and there was no change at all after more than ten meters. Eli waited patiently. He knew that it would take a certain amount of time for the potion to take effect.
Another minute.
The mice finally changed.
His fur began to dry up quickly, and his body seemed to be getting thinner. His nails fell off little by little, his teeth became loose, and he seemed to be about to die.
But what surprised Eli was that the mouse's black eyes became brighter and brighter, like a ray of light, which was a sign of increased mental power.
"Failed!" Eli shook his head.
There is no doubt that this time it failed again.
He took out the little mice and threw them aside. There were already several dead ones there. He would clean them up after the experiment.
"No, it seems like this time he burned his body to improve his mental power." Eli shook his head and prepared for the next experiment.
"Wait a minute, what is burning is the body, but essentially what is burning is life force. This is actually burning life and improving spiritual power."
Suddenly, in the laboratory, Eli's movements froze.
The experiment failed, but it doesn't seem to be a total failure.
