Chapter 27: The Final Preparation
"Thank you, brother. Just let him work as your personal assistant and teach him swordsmanship whenever you are free. While the kid is wild and stubborn, he is not that bad and gives his best when he works. I'll feel more confident if he's on your side and doesn't worry me anymore ” Els said with a face full of gratitude.
Lorist waved his hand and said, “Hehe, don't worry. We are not strangers. Not to mention, I just moved into the Gold ranked instructor residential area recently. Given the size of my new home, I could actually use additional help. It's thanks to you, I don't need to hire anyone else. ”
"Oh, I feel like I'm forgetting something else ..." After thanking Lorist for agreeing to bring the child along, Els seemed to be trying hard to remember something else.
"Hmm .. When I walked through here with Jindoz, Uncle Girald told me that you were back. That's when I decided to come. What did Jindoz say when he heard you were coming back? I thought it was about the next Laude brother ... District .. Representative Wombart ... Could it be about that perverted old man !? Uh! I finally remember! ”Seru Els's.
"Hehe, my dear brother, Locke, did you bring the items I requested back from your Relic Islands expedition?" Said Els with a wide smile as she extended both of her hands.
"Oh, you mean Whip the Terrence ass? I tried so hard to get it for you .. But your uncle confiscated it. He says that you often neglect training and playing with women all day and are quite upset that you even dare to try to consume aphrodisiacs … That's why he brought that and asked you to take it yourself, ” Lorist said as he repeated what Charlando told him.
"What's? My uncle has stuff? ”Say Els while starting to be shocked. "Omong empty! My ual skills are still strong and good! The parents intervened it .. Caused trouble for me all the time .. I actually got it for that lewd parent, Representative Wombart! Now that the boss of the other two districts, Isidor, is retiring, I have negotiated with him to take over the management of the district. I just need to meet the board representative rules to resolve the issue. ”
Seeing Els in such fear, Lorist laughed for a while and continued, "Sigh, Els .. Didn't the city management set a rule that one syndicate cannot lead more than three districts? You already have three under your wing, now you're thinking of taking two more? Why would the city council agree to that? "
“This is all Jindoz's ideas. He suggested that we ask the Laude brothers to take action and ask half of our crew and the Isidor crew to form another syndicate to manage the additional districts. On the surface, it will be managed by two different syndicates. However, it will actually operate as one, ” explained Els at once. "That Wombart fellow is very difficult to deal with .. Even though I have already given him a hundred gold coins, he will still not promise me anything and just say that he will try it. Then, after I heard about the miraculous effects of the Terrence-dokey Whip from one of my subordinates, I asked you to bring it back from the Relic Islands. I really hope that after taking the drug, Wombart will die after playing around with more women than he can handle. ”
While Els casually cursed Wombart to death, he naturally did not mean to be literal. If that happened, it would only cause more trouble for him and force him to bribe some other council representatives.
Lorist thought for a while and came up with an idea. When he bought the Donkey-Terrence Whip from the Relic Islands, he had heard that just a small, thin piece was enough for a man to wake up all night. The amount he brought back was enough for 200 pieces like that. Lorist planned to cut it into pieces, though, pack ten or more slices in a nice glass jar and pick it up with some other medicinal wine to make it a premium-looking, expensive new thing that also serves as a great gift real well. The most important part was just putting enough donkey whips in each jar, unlike Els, who had planned to give it all to Wombart. All of them were enough to last for three whole years! It would be very difficult to ask for help from Wombart again if his hopes rose from that lavish gift.
“Wow, why didn't I think of that? I don't know that you yourself are quite cunning, ” said Els happily. Lorist's suggestion opened up an entire opportunity for him. He instantly came up with a more grandiose plan, "Maybe we can start an entire business from this .. Next time, we'll send people to the Relic Islands to buy all of Terrence's Donkey whips, he said, even if they are at market price three times, cut them, and pack them well before selling them! It will definitely be a money making business. Only, the procurement of glass jars will be a little troublesome. ”
Lorist nodded at Els' concern. Only two types of glasses can be found on the Grindia Continent. The first type is green glass: a cloudy green colored glass that does not have good transparency and is usually used to make windows due to its low price point. Another type, oil glasses, are much more clear and transparent and are usually chosen to make glasses such as wine glasses and bowls. In fact, the price of the material is much more expensive than.
Both types of glass are products produced only by Forde Trade Union's southern neighbor, the Kingdom of Teribo, because the materials needed to make glass can only be found in the largest quartz mountain within the kingdom. The production method of each glass is a national secret and closely guarded to prevent leakage. According to legend, back in the magic civilization, magi used their mystical powers to produce glass that far exceeded today's glass in terms of quality. It is a shame that the techniques used in the past have disappeared in the final days of civilization.
However, one magus has managed to devise a method to produce green glass and oil glass without magical formations and pass on the secrets of its creation to its descendants. When the Kingdom of Teribo was formed, magus descendants gave production methods to the king and their family status was elevated to that of a Grand Duke. The Kingdom of Teribo has been exporting their glassware to the rest of the continent ever since.
After examining both types of glass, Lorist thought that the reason green glass has a high opacity is because of impurities that are not removed during the production process. Why then have green glass production techniques not been improved for years to eliminate that problem? The fact that the quality of green glass has remained unchanged for many years is an interesting mystery.
As for the glass of oil, it was something Lorist had never seen before even in his past life. It looked very similar to the ordinary clear glass in the previous world, but it had a 'slippery' quality that caused nothing to be able to stick to it. It is said that the 'slippery' of glass makes it an ideal material for making laboratory equipment for the magi given that it is easy to wash and clean. The quality of translucent glass also made it easier for the magi to observe the changes taking place inside the equipment.
In one of Lorist's experiments, he tried coating an oil glass test tube with a strong adhesive. After drying out, he took the test tube and gave it one or two light shakes. It only takes a while before the dry adhesive falls off the test tube like a crumpled old paper.
This strange quality also caused Lorist quite a headache when he conferred between the two types of glass to be used for boutique windows. Green glass cannot show off their clothes in full glory while oil glasses are not easily made into flat sheets. Lorist had only managed to solve the problem by asking some craftsmen to carve a large piece of crystal into a flat sheet to use as a window and use the crystal shards as decorations for the chandelier inside the store, he said, spent more than ten gold coins in the process .
“Currently, oil glass test tubes usually cost about one big silver each while oil glass sets can go up to one gold coin per set. Maybe you could ask someone to make a prototype jar and ask for a price quote from a manufacturer in Teribo Kingdom? As long as each one was lower than 1 gold coin, it would be fine. You can consider part of the cost of production. In marketing, the most important part is packaging. As long as it looks expensive, people will be willing to pay dearly, ” Lorist said.
“Hm, now that you have said it, it looks like it will be selling well. Alright, I will head straight to the inn in case the old man uses the medicine! ”Els said impatiently and prepared to rush to the inn to request the item from Charlando.
Lorist laughed as he exclaimed, “Cause, Charlando won't need something like that! Although he may be very hard on you at times, he is actually looking for you in his own way. Oh, and don't forget to hand him 18 gold coins when you pick them up. I'll get it from him later. ”
“Oh, there is one thing you may not have heard. Last month, my old uncle actually proposed to Louise, and she agreed! In two more months, she will be the female owner of the Red Grace Inn. Thinking that the 60-year-old man would decide to settle down, the fact that Louise agreed despite their age difference was also surprising. That's why I was so worried about leaving the aphrodisiac with him! ”Uncover Els.
"Is that true?" Lorist immediately sat up straight.
"Of course . Everyone knew about it a month ago. Maybe they forgot to bring it when you were there, ” Els said.
Lorist sincerely felt happy for Louise when he heard that she would calm down. While Charlando was a bit old, he was a pretty good man who was still in good physical condition considering his ability as a Gold-ranked swordsman. Maybe Els will have a younger cousin in the years to come.
"It looks like I should go find a congratulatory gift for the two of them," Lorist murmured.
“No need to rush, the ceremony will last two more months. Help me pick one for them too. I was too busy to be bothered with such things, ” Els said. “I'll go to the inn now. Are you going to come? "
“Alright, I'll go now. ”Els slipped into the shadows silently and the room returned to its original calmness, as if no one else besides Lorist had been here all along.
……
The sky slowly brightened as the townspeople woke up from their slumber one by one. The streets were slowly filled with people and horses as Morante City began the day with a new spirit.
Lorist slept on the table all night. He smiled after seeing the moonlight receding from the room as the twin moons disappeared in the sky while the bright morning rays shone through the horizon.
It was a new day for a new beginning.
The voice of the servant talking could be heard downstairs. After a while, a knock sounded at Lorist's door.
Lina came with another female servant. Both of them served Lorist a large amount of breakfast as they had done for the past three years.
Lina seemed to cry all night because of her swollen eyes.
The other maidservants came out of the room and left Lina and Lorist in the room together.
Lorist looked at those puffy eyes and resisted the urge to laugh. “Why don't you rub your eyes with eggs? It helps with swelling. ”
"I'm fine . I was too busy so I forgot, ” said Lina as she turned around, not wanting Lorist to see her face.
"Huh .." Lorist stood up, went to his bookshelf and took out a thick book wrapped in a dust jacket. The book was titled 'Fantastic Adventure Knight Mingorak'. It seems to be a fictional adventure story.
Placing the book on the table in front of Lina, Lorist said, “This, for you. ”
Looking at Lina's confused expression, Lorist explained with a laugh, “I know you don't like reading novels like this like your mistress. Just open the book and you will be surprised. ”
Carefully opening the book, Lina clasped her mouth in surprise. Inside were courtyards and courtyards full of designs for women's clothing.
“All this was pulled by me during last year. The madam wanted to make all this for production, but she was stopped by me. That is because if they are all going to be released to the market at once, it will cause a lot of confusion and we will lose the ability to control fashion trends, which will ultimately lead to a decrease in profits. That's why over the past few years, I've only allowed a little over a hundred designs to be released, some of which have undergone the creative changes you've made. In this book there are about 300 designs that have not seen the light today. I gave it to you, Lina. ”
"Does ... does the hostess know about this?" Lina said as she hugged the book in her chest as if she was afraid that the book would be taken from her.
"He knows, but he would never have expected that I drew so much. Did you see the chaos in the room? It was all created by the mistress when she tried to search for designs as I left. He had no idea that they were hidden in the bookshelf, right under his nose. He didn't ask me for them last night .. Maybe he thought that I still hated him, " Lorist said with a hint of bitter pain as he laughed lightly.
"What I will say later should not be known to anyone other than your father. Do you understand? ”Kata Lorist while looking into Lina's eyes.
"I ... I swear ..." said Lina as she stuttered.
"Tell your father, Knight Somm, that I think that depending on Lormo's house is not a wise move. The madam was willing to marry into the house because she thought they would be able to protect Windsor's house. If the intention of the Lormo house was to take advantage of the Windsor house, however, then there would be nothing else that the Windsor house could rely on. This is mainly because of how your mistress sold her business in Morante City. At this point, we can only hope that the Lormo Marquis really loves him and has no hidden agenda.
“Mistress you told me yesterday that the marquis has a method to take over the dominance of the four houses which are enemies of Windsors and will give them half of the power they have gained. If it works, then you might become a noble yourself someday. Tell your father that he can agree to cooperate with Lormo's house on everything but these two factors.
“First, never let this 11-year-old young master of Windsor receive knight education and training from Lormo's house in case they plan to harm him on the grounds of an accident. Always let the young master be by your father's side and send him to Morante City for his studies as he matures. Second, as the young master grew up, Lormo's house probably suggested a political marriage between the two families. To prevent that from happening, tell your father to prepare a suitable match for the young master from the start so that the Lormo house cannot take advantage of it.
“The last thing is about you, Lina. Don't let anyone know that I've given you that design, even Suzy or the young mistress. This time, the young mistress was planning to restart her business in the Jigda Kingdom with the help of the Lormo mansion. I worry that they are targeting the young mistress clothing business as well. If it happens one day, this design will help you and him start over. I'm afraid you'll be in danger if word of you having an exit design. Therefore, don't tell anyone else, okay? ”
Lina nodded tightly with a flushed face as tears flowed in her eyes.
"If Lormo's house really has no ill intentions towards Windsors, then you can give the young mistress a design or two once a month and tell her that you drew yourself. No problem . I've seen how talented you are when you make creative changes here and there. When designing something, the most important thing is to have originality and individuality. As long as you can make your name as a talented fashion designer, it will not be suspicious for you to release more designs gradually in the future. ”
Looking out the window, Lorist said, “Oh, the horse carriage is already here. It's time I said goodbye. Do you understand what I said just now? "
"Yes, already, Mr. Locke. I'll do as you say. ”
