There were too many things to think about, and Ryan thought he might not be able to sleep, so he just meditated.

During the meditation, you can't feel the passage of time. When the clouds are pierced by the sunlight like a sharp sword, and the pink and light blue roses bloom towards the morning sun, a pleasant and elegant fragrance floats in the bedroom.

When the magic power in his body was full and active, Ryan ended his meditative state. Although it took longer than usual to sleep, he felt much more energetic.

"Magicians are really like bugs."

Ryan floated in the air, trying to rotate 360 ​​degrees, sighing with the system in his mind, and then heard the sound of Emily knocking on the door.

Emily stood outside the door, "Good day, respected lord."

"Please come in."

Ryan turned his head to respond, and when he was distracted, he accidentally fell from the air and hit the bed. Fortunately, his bed was still soft.

"Well."

Ryan rubbed his dazed head and got off the bed, and Emily came into the room with warm water and a white towel.

"Merciful Lord Lane."

The happy Emily didn't notice anything strange about Ryan. She put the basin on the table, along with the small bowl used to hold the facial mask after cleaning. She stepped aside and said to Ryan with surprise in her eyes: "You gave me a gift last night.

That facial mask is really useful for me.”

She didn't wash her face after applying the mask last night because the feeling on her face was so comfortable that she couldn't help but go to sleep. When she woke up in the morning, Emily was surprised to find that not only the annoying dead skin on her face was gone.

In addition, even the red pimples have disappeared a lot. The most important thing is that the skin on her face no longer feels dry and painful like usual!

"Really, if you find it useful, that's fine."

Ryan wiped the water droplets on his face with a towel and turned to ask her again, "Then did you apply lead paste today?"

Although...but, he could only see that the skin color on Ai Moli's face seemed to be a little brighter than yesterday.

Ai Moli blushed slightly and nodded: "Yes, but the amount applied is much less than usual."

She usually has to apply multiple layers of lead paste to cover up the blemishes on her face, especially on her forehead and chin.

"Lead paste should be used sparingly in the future. The damage is really too great."

Ryan shook his head disapprovingly, and then handed her the unused bottle of loofah water, "This is also a new product developed by Nan. It can moisturize and hydrate. You can apply some on the skin appropriately after washing your face.

Remember to tell me how you feel after using it."

Not to mention that it is easy to be suppressed by the nobles after taking out the facial mask. First of all, it seems that it is not an easy task to make girls willingly stop using lead paste.

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your gift."

Emily's attitude was respectful, her eyes filled with joy, she stretched out her hands to take the bottle of loofah water, mustered up the courage to look up at Ryan and asked: "Dear Lord Ryan, may I ask, last night's facial mask will also be put on the shelves in the Oran Department Store in the future.

?"

She remembered Ryan saying that the facial mask was a new product specially developed by Mr. Nan.

Although she has only used a facial mask once, Ai Moli has fallen deeply in love with it. The skin can feel comfortable after being fully moisturized.

In order to fake snowy skin, girls have to apply lead paste all year round, but the more lead paste is used, the more Emily feels like her skin is like the dry land. Her cheeks are really too dry, but because of the nobles

It was all because of the lead paste, and she never thought that the dryness of her skin was due to the lead paste.

It was painful every time to remove and apply the lead paste, but after applying the mask last night, Emily felt a lot more relieved when applying lead paste today, and it was easier to cover the flaws. Even though Ryan told her now,

Applying lead paste is very harmful, but she can stop using lead paste from now on, which Emily can't do.

Seeing Emily's appearance, Ryan knew that she had not listened to everything he said. Although he wanted to explain, he finally shook his head helplessly and said: "The facial mask still needs a period of improvement, and it will not be put on department stores for the time being.

"

Ryan has now figured out that he still needs to make a silk mask, not only to moisturize but also to make a whitening mask, but he has to hold the formula firmly in his hands. Then he can disguise himself as a mysterious businessman and use the system to apply it.

Facial masks are sold to major nobles and lords.

When the effect of the facial mask spreads among the nobles, the territories of the major lords, and the kingdoms, and when people's focus falls on the mysterious businessman selling the facial mask, Ryan will then rename the low-priced skin care products

Sold, it shouldn't attract too much attention.

After all, the vain nobles wish they could put gold on their faces. In their eyes, only expensive goods can match their noble status.

Emily clenched the bottle of loofah water with both hands. Although she was a little disappointed when she heard this, she was also full of expectations.

Ryan walked slowly to the table, looked at Emily and asked casually, "By the way, Emily... do you know when the guards will come back?"

Suddenly hearing this question, Emily didn't think much about it. After thinking about it for a while, she replied seriously: "If nothing else happens, it should be after the first rainy season in Oran every year. I remember last year in Essex,

He also led some soldiers back after the first rainy season."

"Who is Essex?"

Ryan asked doubtfully: "Is it the Templar?"

Emery nodded and then shook her head, "Essex is the leader of the Oran Guard. Because he left the Temple of Light, he has been withdrawn from the honorary title of Templar Knight."

After saying that, she lowered her head in fear. Only then did Emery remember that Essex was the leader of the guard and obeyed Lord Oran's orders. However, when Ryan succeeded to the position of Lord Oran, he understood that

He knew the time but did not rush back to attend the succession ceremony.

"So he's not a Templar anymore?"

Ryan raised his head, not noticing anything strange about Emily, and asked thoughtfully: "Then do you know why he left the temple and why he joined Oran?"

"I don't know much about this, but I seem to have heard rumors..."

Emery recalled seriously, and then replied uncertainly: "Essex joined Oran's guard three years ago. The reason why he left the temple seems to be because of a prophecy."

Ryan: "What prophecy?"

"I have no idea."

Emily was silent for a while before looking up at Ryan, lowering her voice very low, with a hint of fear in her eyes, "Everyone in Oran who knows this prophecy is already dead..."

Ryan: "...!"

After hearing this, Ryan immediately stopped the topic and asked instead: "Then do you know when the first rainy season will arrive?"

Emily: "In less than a month, Oran will experience heavy rains that will last for about fifteen days."

Ryan was not a native of Oran, and Emily had no doubts that he would ask these questions.

Emery answered Ryan's question seriously and then asked, "Dear Lord Ryan, have you decided where to stay temporarily during the first rainy season?"

Ryan: "?"

Some people don’t understand, why would you want to live somewhere else temporarily?

Seeing the confusion on his face, Emily continued to explain: "Olan will experience multiple rainy seasons every spring and summer, which usually last 15-20 days. It is very troublesome to go out during the rainy season, and the water level will rise to the level of the castle.

Half of the height is submerged, and every spring and summer the old lord will go to live elsewhere temporarily, and then repair the castle again after the rainy season."

Ryan: "Since we knew it would be flooded, didn't we take preventive measures in advance?"

"Someone once made a suggestion to prevent heavy rains." Emily suddenly looked embarrassed, "But because the old lord is so poor, Butler Henry said that instead of preventing it, it is better to wait for the rainy season to re-reinforce the castle, which can save a lot.

money."

After all, in the eyes of the old lord and Henry, human power is the most worthless thing in the world.

Oran has mountains, stones and trees, and resources everywhere, but it costs money to recruit people, and there are no good builders. If you go to other noble territories to hire people, or if the goblins come back, you will have to spend more money.

Ryan: "..."

It seems like he doesn’t have any money either!

but……

Ryan suddenly realized something very important, and his pupils suddenly dilated like a cat's eyes, "Then, will there be floods where the love fruit is planted?"

There is also a river there!

Oh, it's over!

"uncertain."

Emerie shook her head, "The situation over at Lover's Fruit will be better. The rain will rush along the river towards the castle. When the rainy season is over, the accumulated water will flow to the ice and snow mountains. During the rainy season, it will also cause thunder.

Tall dead plants will collapse in the thunder and fire, and at the same time countless plants will be reborn, and monsters and animals will go out. For us and the hunters, it is the happiest time of the year."

The mountain of ice and snow is exactly the one Ryan saw before, a majestic snow mountain not far from the active volcano.

Ryan was still thinking about his plants and processing plants, and his head felt a little numb. After hearing the next few sentences, he then asked: "Then how did you live during the rainy season before?"

Emery replied hesitantly: "The old lord and Butler Henry will go to the territories of other nobles, and we will move to the dense forest mountain with the residents."

In addition to volcanoes and snow-capped mountains, there are many mountains in Oran, and the dense forest mountain is just one of them, very close to the forest where Ryan was hunting before.

With Emery's appearance, he intuitively told Ryan that there must be some secret, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Ryan thought for a few seconds and said to Emily: "You can go find Nan later. He should have some facial masks there, but you can't let others know about it, nor can you let others know about the existence of the masks."

At the same time, he picked up the quill on the table and wrote something on the parchment, tied the parchment with animal skin, and asked Ai Moli to hand it over to Nan.

"Thank you very much for your kindness."

Emily didn't expect an unexpected surprise, and she was so happy. She hid the bottle of loofah water in her sleeve, put the parchment roll in her pocket, made a promise to Ryan, picked up the basin and left the lord's bedroom.

After the room door was closed, Ryan walked to the window. The Shia Aura flower where the flower fairy rested had not yet opened.

Ryan stood by the window and looked at the multiple mountains in the distance, and asked in his mind and system: "General, do you know what the prophecy of Essex is?"

After a while, the system replied: "After testing, there are too many useless predictions. I can't determine which one you are asking about."

"Ah? Really? Then it'll be fine."

Ryan blinked, feeling inexplicably better when he heard this.

Ryan: "So can you predict that the water will destroy my vegetable field during the rainy season?"

"This is not a big problem. In fact, you should prefer the arrival of the rainy season, when there are more opportunities to make money, and you should really prepare more products."

System: "If you are really afraid of heavy rain, you can also spend money to hire a Sunrise Bird. Wherever the Sunrise Bird is, it will not rain within a radius of 500 meters."

Ryan, "That's great."

His vegetable fields are saved, and Andrew can lead the team for hunting after the rainy season ends.

Perfect!

Since Bunir disappeared, Ryan has never seen him again. The position of head chef has become vacant. Now the cook Carly and another cook named Manra are temporarily co-managing the kitchen.

of everything.

Ryan gave Carly and Manla different recipes, and the two meals a day were changed to three meals a day.

Manny did not go to Oran Food Store today and asked another maid to take over the shift. From today on, she plans to continue learning from Manla. Manla learned some simple and delicious breakfast making methods from the recipes.

The weather is getting hotter and the daylight is getting brighter earlier.

Next door to Oran Food Store, Ryan is planning to open another Oran Breakfast Restaurant. Since Manny performed well in the food store, Ryan is planning to let her become the manager of the breakfast restaurant.

Ryan put on a flaxen mage robe. Because his magic power was too strong, he extravagantly applied a layer of levitation spell on the flat soles. After floating away from the bedroom, Ryan went directly to the dining room.

Coincidentally, Katyusha also happened to be sitting on a bent wooden staff. She followed the maid Ma Lian into the dining room from the other door. There was also a pink filament tied to the end of the staff.

The gargoyle's tiny ankles.

‘Chichi.’

The gargoyle was not completely banned today, so it could only fly behind Katyusha, occasionally letting out weak screams, which looked really pitiful.

She dyed her black hair into light purple with magic potion. Katyusha also braided her hair into beautiful braids today. Her beautiful eyes are like gems the color of violet flowers. She wears a black mithril bracelet on her wrist and fingertips.

Holding up the hem of the lace black lace skirt, she stepped on her brown calfskin boots and landed gracefully. She smiled and said to Ryan, "Good day, employer."

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Ryan ordered Emerie to inform her in the name of the lord that a distinguished guest from Oran had arrived, and she was a female magician who was proficient in hunting.

Katyusha is also very cooperative. Except for Ryan and Emery, no one knows Katyusha's true identity. Unless the opponent's strength is higher than Katyusha, no one can see through Katyusha's disguise.

"Good day, Miss Katyusha."

Ryan smiled and greeted Katyusha, then sat in the main seat and said, "Your hair is also very beautiful today."

There are still a few strands of silver in the light purple hair, which contrasts with Katyusha's skin as delicate as snow. Her beautiful face is no longer as charming as yesterday. Compared to a magician, Katyusha is more like a mysterious astrologer.

"Thank you very much for the compliment."

Katyusha enjoyed Ryan's praise very much. She sat down opposite him, looked up at Ryan and said: "I thought about the matter you entrusted me for a long time last night. I already have preliminary ideas, but I still have some ideas."

Some basic and common medicinal materials are needed.”

"Those are little things."

Ryan nodded, a little surprised at her efficiency, "I asked Emily to prepare a parchment and pen in your room. You can make a list for me later on what medicinal materials are needed."

Katyusha sighed at his generosity, "Thank you very much for your trust."

"Excuse me, respected Lord Lane, Ms. Katyusha."

Emily brought the pre-dinner water and cutlery.

Ryan nodded, looked at Katyusha and said, "We'll talk about work later. It's breakfast time now."

Katyusha covered her lips with her fingers, "This is the first time I have had breakfast at this time."

"I have breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think eating three meals a day is healthier."

Ryan didn't explain much to her. The breakfast prepared by Manla was already served by Ma Lian.

The first thing that was served on the table was a newly made three-layer green grass basket, with a stack of sour juice, and a transparent glass containing freshly squeezed lover's juice.

The tableware provided for Ryan was the silver chopsticks he requested, and the tableware provided for Katyusha was a fork and spoon, with a pair of wooden chopsticks next to them.

"Is this what you call breakfast?"

Katyusha looked at the basket in front of her and asked with some confusion, but the smell was really good. Then she looked at the lover juice in the cup and marveled at its bright color. She couldn't help but praise: "Is this so delicious?"

Are they...the Lovers' Fruits you took me to see yesterday? The colors are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the drops of God's blood I once saw in the Imperial City."

The bright red juice has separated the pulp, and there are a few golden-green seeds floating in the crushed ice. The color is very consistent with Katyusha's preference.

"The juice is indeed freshly squeezed from lover fruit, and it tastes very good as a drink."

Ryan didn't know what the drop of God's blood in her mouth was. He reached out and opened the lid of the cage, raised his head and said to Katyusha: "This is called Xiaolongbao. I personally like the taste."

There are only two small steamed buns in a basket, and they are made into beautiful patterns.

Then Ryan moved the lower basket and continued to talk to Katyusha: "This is called a soup dumpling."

There is only one palm-sized bun in the basket on the next floor, and the skin is so thin that you can even see the meat filling and soup inside.

Whether it is xiaolongbao or soup dumpling, they are all novel to Katyusha.

Katyusha's eyes were filled with surprise, "This is the first time I have seen this kind of food."

Ryan: "Aren't you curious about their taste?"

After saying that, he smiled, picked up a steamed bun in the basket with chopsticks, moved it to his mouth and blew it gently, then lowered his head and took a bite along the pinched area.

Due to insufficient ingredients, the xiaolongbao was stuffed with cleft-tooth rabbit meat.

Manla's pair of knives worked well, and the cleft-tooth rabbit meat was finely chopped without being rotten.

When you bite into the soft skin and stuffing, the hot gravy is delicious, and the stuffing is chewy and chewy. In addition, a little chili is added to make it fresh. It has a completely different texture from the shrimp steamed dumplings, but the taste is just as good.

After Ryan started eating, Katyusha also tried to hold the chopsticks, but her posture of holding the chopsticks was wrong and she couldn't use force. She couldn't pick up the dumplings.

It will fall into the cage again in a second.

Katyusha looked up at Ryan and found that he was already eating the second steamed dumpling. The taste of meat filling surrounded the tip of her nose. Katyusha simply used magic.

With a layer of mental power attached to the tips of the chopsticks, Katyusha imitated Ryan's holding of the chopsticks and secretly used her mental power to pick up the xiaolongbao.

Katyusha had never heard of this kind of food called Xiao Long Bao before. She moved the Xiao Long Bao in front of her, and for a moment she couldn't tell what it was made of.

But the smell of meat is too strong, and the aroma is tantalizing and tempting.

Katyusha originally thought that Xiao Long Bao would be like the food she had eaten before, which looked beautiful but was unpalatable. However, when she bit down half of the Xiao Long Bao, she realized that her worries just now were really too much.

Got it!

Not to mention the meat filling inside the xiaolongbao, the soft skin on the outside is almost as good as Katyusha's favorite soft white bread.

Not to mention the meat filling inside, even if a lot of salt and spices are not added to cover it up, the fishy smell of the meat cannot be tasted at all.

Katyusha bit down most of the dumpling skin and meat filling in one bite, and the dumpling was gone after two bites. The abundant juice surrounded the tip of the tongue, and the delicious flavor danced on the taste buds.

The surprise in Katyusha's eyes turned to love. She slowly picked up the second xiaolongbao, looked up at Ryan curiously and asked: "Hire, can I know what kind of rare stuff is used in this kind of xiaolongbao?"

Monster meat?"

The higher the level of monster meat, the purer and more delicious the meat would be, and there would be no fishy or other unpleasant smells. But the strange thing was that she didn't seem to feel much life energy from the meat.

But the Xiaolongbao tastes so delicious, so it must be made with extremely precious ingredients.

However, just when Katyusha was about to express her gratitude to Ryan for his generosity, she saw Ryan swallowing the second steamed dumpling with a smile, then waved to her and said: "It's not a rare monster, this is just the most common split-tooth rabbit."

It’s just meat.”

Katyusha, "This?"

Unbelievable!

In Katyusha's memory, the Cleft-Tooth Rabbit was a dirty, smelly animal with a fishy body odor. Not only was it ugly in appearance (especially the pair of huge front teeth), it would also often destroy the precious potions she planted.

Seeing Ryan nodding, Katyusha still couldn't believe it, "How could this be the Crack-Tooth Rabbit?"

She used her mental power to break open the steamed dumplings. Since the meat had been minced, Katyusha could not tell what kind of meat it was.

"It is indeed Cleft-tooth rabbit meat. I just know some special processing methods. If you don't believe it, you can catch a Cleft-tooth rabbit yourself later and let Manla cook it in front of you."

Ryan pushed open the empty basket, moved the soup dumplings in front of him, looked up at Katyusha and asked, "Do you want to try this? This is a soup dumpling made from fang pork. Compare

Xiaolongbao has a different taste.”

Katyusha pursed her lips and said, "Yes."

No matter how much the meat of tusk pig tastes better than that of cleft-tooth rabbit, since the steamed dumplings made with cleft-tooth rabbit are so delicious, the soup dumplings stuffed with tusk pork should also taste better.

That's right.

This is exactly the case.

When Katyusha poked a small hole in the outer shell of the soup dumpling with a fork and tasted the rich and fragrant soup, it was so delicious that she almost couldn't help pretending and couldn't stop drinking the soup.

Until all the broth in the soup bag was drunk, Katyusha suppressed the restlessness in her hair, looked at Ryan with eyes filled with wonder and praised: "Your place is really amazing."

Amazing people, amazing food.

Katyusha silently thought to herself that even the most unpalatable cleft-toothed rabbits and tusk-toothed pigs could be made into such delicious dishes.

No wonder a plant with a yield of 43 valentines is not satisfied!

No wonder the mysterious space magician was left behind.

system:"?"

After finishing the delicious breakfast, Katyusha said goodbye to Ryan and returned to her temporary room to continue developing potions.

Manla came over anxiously and asked about Ryan's dining experience. Ryan replied that she was very satisfied with it and that the seasoning of the steamed dumplings was made by Manny. Ryan asked Manny to prepare for the opening of the breakfast restaurant early.

Ryan left the dining room and was about to return to the bedroom when he saw Emily hurried towards him.

"Dear Lord."

Emery stopped in front of Ryan, led him to a deserted corner, looked up at Ryan and whispered: "Bart and the others seemed to have dug up some strange things at the place you mentioned yesterday."

"I see."

Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'll go over now."

He wanted to see what the secret the system said was.

When Ryan arrived at the place mentioned last night, Bart and Suo had already surrounded the place. In addition to the two of them, Nan was also there. They also used magic to impose a layer of enchantment, not allowing anyone to approach easily.

Ryan took out the staff from the space ring and broke the barrier set by Nan.

Nan, who sensed the fluctuation of Ryan's magic power, immediately ran over and said, "Dear Lord Ryan, follow me quickly."

Ryan looked at his panic expression and asked curiously as he followed him: "Don't worry, what did you dig up?"

"Is an……"

Nan's eyes were full of surprise, and he lowered his voice and replied: "Bat followed your instructions and changed the direction of the field. As a result, he dug out a piece of extremely high-quality elemental crystal."

The practice of a magician is to store magic power into the magic source in the body through meditation.

In addition to the magic source in the body, the magician can also store his own magic power in elemental crystals of the same attribute. When needed, he can use magic spells to guide it, which can serve as a temporary second magic source.

The magic restoration potion is more effective than just one star and a half.

Just as weapons are the second life of a warrior, the magician's staff and elemental crystals are precious treasures that they cherish very much.

As a magician, Ryan naturally knew how precious elemental crystals were. When he heard Nan's words, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The value of an elemental crystal depends on its size, capacity and quality. An elemental crystal in the world, even if it is of the worst quality, can be sold for at least 100 gold coins, and there is no market for it.

Nan led Ryan to the place where they were just now, where Suo and Bart were standing. In front of them was a newly reclaimed land, and there was a strange pit there.

The elemental crystal Nan was talking about has an irregular rhombus shape and is of extremely high quality. There is an oval shadow in the center. Transparent elemental particles flow in the crystal to surround the shadow. The crystal with a hard shell is almost like three fingers side by side.

Width, the length from the tip of the male middle finger to the wrist.

Ryan said to Bart and Suo: "Thank you, fill this hole first."

The two did as they were told, and Nan also used magic to help.

Ryan held the elemental crystal in his hand, looked at the ground and asked the system in his mind: "Song, can you tell what kind of elemental crystal this is?"

System: "Water system."

Ryan, who was not a water mage, sighed softly, "Then this elemental crystal has no connection with me."

He can't use it himself, and neither can Nan, so he can only use it to make money.

Ryan held the element crystal in his hand and continued to ask the system: "Do the krypton gold stores recycle element crystals?"

System: "Only elemental crystals with no life characteristics can be recycled."

Ryan: "?"

Ryan lowered his head and looked at the shadow in the elemental crystal, "Will you recycle this elemental crystal?"

System: "Not accepted."

Ryan: "!"

There is no information in his memory that there are still living things in the elemental crystal!

The system noticed his doubts and calmly explained: "Although elemental crystals are very valuable, elemental elves are more valuable. Just as flower fairies are born in flowers, elemental elves are also born from elemental crystals. It's just that this secret was revealed by the great devil.

What the teachers have hidden is not announced to the world."

If elemental crystals are important to magicians, then elemental elves are even more important to magicians. Elemental crystals can recharge energy, but elemental elves can allow mages to become super powerful firepower with high-frequency magic output.

Ryan tightened his fingers hard, and after thinking for a while, the system continued to ask: "Then do you know how to create the elemental elves in the elemental crystal?"

System: "The elemental crystal in your hand has a very weak sense of existence of life forms inside, and it may disappear at any time."

Ryan: "Do you know why?"

He originally hoped to use elemental elves to cultivate a high-level water magician as a trump card, but this idea did not survive for a second.

System: "It's life force has been sucked away too much."

Ryan, "Is there no possibility of birth at all?"

System: "No, it's just that the price to pay is too high."

Ryan closed his eyes, "Then tell me, is there anything else hidden under this ground?"

The system was silent for a moment, "Yes."

Ryan clenched his fingers, "Is it dangerous?"

System: "It is currently safe."

Ryan: "Can you tell me what's hidden underground?"

The system hesitated for a while, "This question requires a gold coin to answer."

Ryan said without hesitation, "Krypton."

The author has something to say: I took a taxi to the hospital this morning (not my fault), but I didn’t wear my glasses. When I opened the door and got into the car, I hit my head on the car. I had to smile even though it was in great pain.

Pretend that nothing is wrong.

Woo hoo.

I was really busy today. I rushed home without time. It was a mistake.
