The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Xia Zuoyi left the San Aero Empire ahead of schedule as planned, but met His Holiness the Pope who was also waiting there in advance at the port—the Pope said he was going to the territory of Designia.

So Xia Zuoyi offered a ride with the wind.

More than half a month later, Xia Zuoyi finally returned to the Designia territory with a boat full of "harvests" except for the Pope and Archbishop Paul whom he met additionally.

Before the long line of trains was about to enter the range of Paar Mountain, a heavy snow fell all night.

The next day it was all silver and white.

The road was covered with snow, and the convoy had to slow down. Fortunately, Paar Mountain was close at hand, and the castle was approaching.

In the carriage, Xia Zuoyi was covered with a fluffy blanket and sat next to the Pope, reading a book.

The distance between the two is very close, so close that the ends of their hair can touch and intertwine with each other. In the swaying of the carriage, their arms will touch each other from time to time, showing a little intimacy.

The two cubs, Eggboy and Niangao, huddled together in the soft cushion and fell asleep.

The rice cake's big fluffy tail covered the egg boy's body, and the egg boy's small paw was stuffed under the rice cake's head, and after a while, he began to moan and kick his paw.

Xia Zuoyi moved away the book in front of her eyes, and looked over——

Seeing that the rice cake was about to be woken up by the moaning and chirping of the egg boy, he bent down and stretched out his hand in time, and gently pulled the egg boy's little paw out from under the rice cake's head.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Zuoyi patted the backs of the two cubs comfortingly, and finally put them to sleep again.

——One sleeps on its stomach, the other sleeps curled up. The bellies of the two cubs rise and fall very regularly, and they are fragrant and sweet. Xia Zuoyi feels a little sleepy looking at them.

He yawned involuntarily, rubbed his eyes, lifted the curtain slightly with one finger, and whispered, "We're almost there, you must go to bed first when you get back."

"Sleepy?"

At this time, a deep voice came from the side, and there was a hint of a smile in it.

"Ah."

Xia Zuoyi turned to look at Saigalot: "Your Majesty, before boarding the boat, you said that you wanted to come to the territory of Dexinia to confirm something..."

"Is this serious?"

When she unexpectedly met the Pope at the port of St. Airo Empire, Xia Zuoyi was surprised and broke out in a cold sweat to be honest.

After all, he thought that the Pope had learned of the "good deeds" he had done before leaving the royal city.

But Saigalote knew that he knew it, but he didn't intend to stop it.

The reason why he appeared at the port ahead of time was to return to the Designia territory by boat with Xia Zuoyi.

Xia Zuoyi always wanted to ask why.

Saigalot said that he came to the territory of Designia to confirm one thing for himself.

Xia Zuoyi thought—the matter that can be confirmed by the Pope himself must not be simple, and I don’t know if it will have any impact on the Designia territory...

Where it concerns him, he always pays attention.

So Xia Zuoyi asked.

And said: "Your Majesty, if the situation is serious, if there is anything that needs my help, just let me know..."

Don't be rude.

Saigalot seemed to be thinking for a while, then raised his lips and smiled slightly: "This matter has no effect on anyone, but it has a great impact on me..."

"Being the pope for so long, this is probably the first problem I have encountered, and I want to solve it myself."

Xia Zuoyi was surprised: "It only affects you? What kind of problem is that?"

Saigalot: "In the future, you will know."

Maybe never will know.

Seeing that His Majesty the Pope did not intend to continue the conversation, Xia Zuoyi also stopped the topic knowingly.

Since the matter has nothing to do with his territory, there is no need to worry.

Soon, the convoy entered Paar Mountain, and then arrived at the castle.

As soon as the carriage team stopped, the fluffy ones ran away, and one by one entered the castle along the familiar passage dedicated to ferocious beasts.

A castle is a familiar and safe home, where they are free from constraints.

Xia Zuoyi also jumped out of the carriage holding egg waffles and rice cakes.

He was not in a hurry to enter the castle, but instead looked back, and handed the two cubs who woke up to Judit to hold: "How many people are still stubborn now?"

In addition to the alchemist who followed him back in the carriage, there were other alchemists whom he "invited" by force.

Along the way, Xia Zuoyi did a lot of ideological work and persuasion to them, which really touched many people.

After all, being an alchemist in a noble's territory is not a part-time job.

They are the same under the hands of any nobleman, the only difference is - how generous the nobleman can give out how much money is used for their alchemy research.

Xia Zuoyi is not only a nobleman with the highest authority, but also a very experienced and accomplished alchemist.

Well, regardless of the way they were brought back to the Designia territory, following such a lord who is not short of money and power, they actually made money.

But there are also some people who can't listen to Xia Zuoyi's extremely sincere words.

Judit hugged the two cubs and said: "Lord, only Master Chebman Norton and his apprentice Beijin are still insisting that you let them leave here as soon as possible."

"The attitudes of the rest have softened."

"Your method of getting the alchemists from the Alchemy Tower to ride with them in the carriage is very effective."

Compared to the dissatisfaction or anger of the other kidnapped alchemists, Chebman Norton has been very silent.

He looked indefensible.

It's just that Xia Zuoyi will let him and his apprentice Bei Jin go away every time. He can't accept being an alchemist in the alchemy tower.

Xia Zuoyi was puzzled, so she asked him why.

Chebman Norton didn't answer at first.

He didn't speak until the fleet sailed to the port of the territory—because the president of the Alchemists Association had the kindness to teach him, and the Ed Chamber of Commerce provided financial support when he was in trouble.

Chebman Norton said to Xia Zuoyi: "I am not a genius, nor can I compare to you."

"I also owe you an apology. I researched your botanical potions and ointments without permission, and then the Ed Chamber of Commerce will sell them..."

Xia Zuoyi: "You don't need to underestimate yourself."

"Many people wanted to understand the proportions and formulations of the botanical medicines and ointments that appeared at that time, but you were the only one who researched them. This alone is enough to show your ability."

"As for the Alchemist Association, I don't mean to suppress it, I just want to develop together."

"After all, even if I let these alchemists leave, they will not be able to return to the Alchemist Association. In order for their future alchemy research to proceed smoothly, they still need to find a noble to provide money and other support..."

"But look, is there any nobleman who is more reliable than me?"

Xia Zuoyi's face is not

Hong said breathlessly, "I don't think so."

Chebman Norton was silent.

Xia Zuoyi continued: "Although the Ed Chamber of Commerce helped you when you were in trouble, the alchemy results you provided must have made the Ed Chamber of Commerce earn a lot of money over the years."

"What should be repaid has already been repaid."

Xia Zuoyi felt that what she said was very reasonable.

But Chebman Norton may be a little stubborn in some respects, and he has not softened his mouth.

…………

Xia Zuoyi stood in front of the castle and thought for a while, then walked towards the carriage where Chebman Norton was.

At this time, Chebman Norton and his apprentice Pei Jingang got off the carriage.

Bei Jin hesitated to speak after seeing Xia Zuoyi - in fact, he was somewhat moved by what the Designian lord said.

But helplessly, the teacher kept refusing.

Bei Jin didn't know that Chebman, who was helped out of the carriage by him, had already been shaken a little, but he was still a little stubborn in his heart.

Seeing Xia Zuoyi approaching, Chebman thought that he was about to persuade him again, so he was already prepared in his heart.

Who would have thought that Xia Zuoyi would come forward and say: "The local anesthetic you have developed is wrong in both the treatment method and the direction of use."

"what?!"

Chebman couldn't help blurting out: "Why do you say that? Where is the mistake? What is the mistake..."

Chebman kept asking.

He had always been rigorous and did not allow any problems with his research results. At this moment, he was eager to find out what was wrong, so he hurriedly followed after Xia Zuoyi finished speaking and turned to leave.

Bei Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly ran behind with his things.

A person who is too late to make a decision is thinking too much.

If you give him another thing to think about, his attention will be diverted quickly, and then he will forget what he wants to decide or make a decision.

The timing was wrong earlier.

Now that we have arrived at Paar Mountain, we are surrounded by Weissas and Fort Comoi, so why would we want to leave after seeing it for ourselves?

What's more, Xia Zuoyi believed that everything in the alchemy tower would make Chebman Norton reluctant to leave.

as predicted.

Within two days, Chebman Norton's attitude began to soften, showing hesitation.

And when Xia Zuoyi personally led the alchemists he harvested back to the alchemy tower.

——Just as women are captured by clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, etc., these alchemists are also completely conquered by the professional and complete equipment in the alchemy tower.

Their gestures and expressions of stroking the equipment are like meeting a girl they love, obsessed and excited.

Xia Zuoyi also finally proved Chebman Norton's mistakes in the use of local anesthetics after he was strongly shaken.

In the end, Chebman Norton decided to stay in Designian territory.

And he personally wrote a letter and sent someone to the St. Airo Empire to deliver it to the president of the Ed Chamber of Commerce.

The letter stated that he left with Lord Dexinia voluntarily, and will stay in the alchemy tower for a long time after that, hoping that the president can forgive him for leaving without saying goodbye.

All in all, it means—I'm sorry, I'm leaving, but don't chase me, because I don't want to go back.

…………

Don't mention the thing about Elder Thomas being so angry that his chest hurts again.

After Xia Zuoyi woke up from the bed one morning, she looked at the sea map on the system interface as usual, and then——! ! !

He opened his eyes involuntarily.

Immediately, I suddenly sat up from the bed and sat up—on the sea map on the system interface, the little green dot representing the orca glutinous rice balls finally stopped spinning in place, but happily started swimming back!

This means that Samuel Fern, who went out to sea to search for a new continent, has also begun to return, and the Riding Wind is coming back!

Xia Zuoyi couldn't restrain her happiness and excitement, she kicked her legs and rolled several times on the bed excitedly, laughing out loud.

And Qingtuan stopped combing the snow-white feathers in the early morning, heard the sound and looked over, tilted his head, his blue-gold eyes could not help showing doubts and incomprehension...
