Chapter 57 Popsicles
It was another morning.

Ron woke up from his sleep, and he called Irene to prepare clean water to wipe his body.

As summer enters, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

"Is Melittoia awake?" Ron asked casually after putting on his shirt.

On the side, Irene with red ears stumbled and replied: "Wake up, sister Joyce is teaching little Meili now."

Ron gave an 'um' to express his understanding. After finishing breakfast, he went to the vegetable garden, which was his daily habit.

Some of the seeds brought back had withered, perhaps because of the weather, or because the soil and water were not acclimatized, and they did not survive even on the best quality land in Arnold's territory.

However, he wasn't too disappointed. The other seeds he planted sprouted, including red snake fruit. Ron was a little relieved that there would be dozens of flavors on the table in the future, and the most important thing was pepper .

After inspecting the vegetable garden, Ron walked towards the study, followed by Irene step by step, to the door of the study, and Irene stepped forward to open the door for the master.

Ron didn't go in immediately, his eyes fell on Irene's maid costume, he didn't feel anything usually, but now he felt stuffy when he saw it.

"Aren't you hot?"

Hearing the sudden inquiry, Irene was stunned for a moment, and said: "It's a bit hot. I see that many people have changed into cooler clothes. Speaking of which, young master, your clothes should also be changed."

Seeing that she couldn't understand, Ron said bluntly: "You might as well stop wearing such a heavy maid uniform, it looks terribly hot."

He originally thought that Irene would jump up for joy, but Irene shook her head and said, "That's not acceptable. The head maid said that the baron's mansion has its own rules. Maids wear maid uniforms, and servants wear servant uniforms. You can't mess with the rules."

Diana?

This is indeed very similar to what she said, since the power in the mansion has been handed over to her, it is inconvenient for Ron to intervene too much.

And Diana's statement is very reasonable, there is no such thing as a circle without rules, he understands.

"In this weather, it would be much more comfortable to eat popsicles." Ron said, and walked into the study.

Popsicles? !
For some reason, hearing this word, Irene felt cool all over, and she kept asking, "Master, what is a popsicle? Can you teach me how to make it?"

-

White sugar is needed to make popsicles, and white sugar is a high-end luxury in the aristocratic circle. The baron's mansion also has a little bit, which is not used very much at ordinary times. It is only used to entertain guests at banquets about important matters.

Therefore, it is impossible for Irene to use white sugar privately. Seeing her dejected look, Ron stood up helplessly, "Let's go, I'll take you to get it."

If he, as the lord, came forward, of course it would not be a problem.

Irene was overjoyed, her eyes were full of splendor, and she was extremely excited.Seeing her, Ron chuckled.

After solving the sugar problem, Irene stayed in the back kitchen, while Ron returned to the study by himself. When he opened the door and entered, he found that Joyce was already inside, but she was sleeping soundly on the table.

Are you too tired?

Ron thought to himself, without disturbing, walked over slowly, looked at Joyce's sleeping face, and there was a document waiting to be processed by her hand.

It could be seen that Joyce was so serious about completing the tasks assigned to her by Ron that she didn't have enough time to rest.

Ron stretched out his finger to Joyce, landed on her fingertips, and the character card was instantly generated.

Joyce's character card has no entry attribute, so there is very little information. Ron looked at the column of favorability, and clearly saw [favorability: 87 (admiration)], which has not yet reached the entry that Ron bestowed on others. standard.

Just as he was hesitating, Joyce woke up, and when she saw Ron's face in front of her, her face changed drastically.

"My lord, I'm very sorry. I've neglected my duty, and I will be punished according to the rules." Joyce looked ashamed, seeing Ron's frown, his heart tightened even more.

She didn't know that Ron was wondering about something else.

When Joyce woke up, the contact between the two quickly separated, but Ron still saw that her favorability immediately changed from 87 to 65, and the subsequent description was still "admiration". En frowned and thought about the reason.

"It's not your fault, it's that I didn't consider your schedule."

Now is not the time to delve into it, so he smiled and let Joyce not have to pay too much attention, although the other party would take this matter as a lesson in his heart.

"Is there something the lord told me to do?" Joyce asked. Ron rarely stayed in the study these days. It is not difficult to guess that he came this time because of something important.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more about work and rest, Ron didn't force it, nodded and said: "Didn't you say before that the teaching materials will be promoted to the whole territory, you can start to prepare."

Hearing this, Joyce was startled.

Just listen to Ron continue: "You have to prepare at least a thousand textbooks within half a month, ten classrooms for classes, and the locations are selected in three towns. I have already told Egbert, he will Cooperate fully, and you have the right to allocate funds.”

"After you finish these, I will tell you what to do next."

Ron's idea is very simple. To improve people's intelligence, education is essential. Although dull people can be better controlled, he wants to see new ideas in his territory.

rather than ubiquitous production tools.

"Yes, my lord."

Joyce bowed and accepted the order, then thought of something, and said, "There is one more thing you need to make up your mind about."

Ron was about to leave, when he heard this, he glanced at her, but didn't immediately agree, "Let's listen."

Joyce weighed his words carefully and said, "This year is hotter than previous years. Most of the farmlands in the territory are in drought conditions. It is expected that the harvest will drop a lot."

The soil in Arnold's territory is not suitable for planting, and once the weather changes abnormally, it will be a disaster.

"How was this situation resolved in previous years?"

"Buy from Gordon Viscounty."

It dawned on Ron that Arnold's territory was connected to Viscount Gordon's, but the situation was quite different. Viscount Gordon was rich in agricultural products, and the surplus food could be sold to the outside world.

After pondering for a moment, he didn't come up with a good idea. Ron said, "I will find a way to deal with this matter. You should deal with what I told you first."

After speaking, he left the study.

The drought of the land cannot be delayed, and it is still just entering summer, and the situation will become more serious when midsummer comes.

Moreover, potatoes were still planted in the wasteland that had been reclaimed before, so we couldn't let it go.

He thought about asking Viscount Gordon for help. Viscount Gordon is a second-level water magician, and he might have a way to cure the drought.

Not to mention that Viscount Gordon can't cast such a large area of ​​water magic, it's unreasonable to ask a lord to water your farmland.

"It would be great if it could be artificially rained."

Ron sighed and said that his words were heard by Nancy who happened to come to him.

"What are you talking about? It sounds like a kind of alchemy." Nancy came to Ron for her own alchemy workshop. Since she is determined to stay, she must have her own workshop.

Seeing Nancy's arrival, Ron's eyes lit up. He told Nancy the principle of artificial rainfall, and finally asked, "Can you do it?"

Nancy looked at Ron in surprise, frowned and thought: "Give me some time and I should be able to make it. I need to calculate the synthesis formula."

Hearing this, Ron smiled, the top alchemist was really reliable.

Ron said: "By the way, I found someone to build an alchemy workshop for you. The location is up to you, just tell Egbert, and he will arrange it for you."

So he had already arranged it, Nancy thought.

"It's almost there."

She raised her head, even though she was small, she looked very proud, "By the way, if I want to make what you want, I need alchemy equipment. I heard that you have a top blacksmith, can I ask him for help?" ?”

Of course, Ron would not refuse. He gave Nancy an address and reminded: "This Master Hadey is straightforward and straightforward. You should pay attention. Forget it, let me go with you."

Nancy slapped Ron's hand off her head in dissatisfaction, pouted and said, "Don't treat me like a child! I'm not your sister."

Running away while talking, Ron looked at her back shaking his head and laughing.

-

In the garden courtyard.

Ron leaned back on the chair, flicking an exquisite dagger in his hand, which was the item he was brushing up on at this time.

This dagger was forged by Hadey after he obtained a new tool, and it was a gift to the lord Ron.

Being able to use the word 'offer', it is obvious that this is a weapon whose quality is not inferior to that of his shield.

In other words, this dagger is a blue item with three entry slots!
【Dagger (Blue)】

【picture】

[Entry 1: Shadowless (blue)]

[Entry 2: Convincing people with reason (white)]

【Entry 3: Intermediate conduction (green)】

[Wuying (blue): Silent and invisible, lurking in the dark. 】

[Convincing people with reason (white): Act with reason, and refuse to fight and kill.When attacking any creature, it can be hurt by the opponent's next attack from you]

-

Looking at the second entry, Ron's eyes darkened. Such an entry actually appeared on a weapon?

Are you okay?
Since getting the dagger, Ron has been brushing entries every day and night. After his unremitting efforts, entry 1 quickly brushed up to a very powerful attribute.

Ron has experimented with this [Shadowless] attribute. As long as the short sword is placed in the shadow, no one else will notice it except him, even if it is shining brightly under the eyes of others.

In the eyes of others, the dagger does not exist, and can only be observed when it is exposed.

Moreover, in the process of swinging the short sword, there will be no resistance, and there will be no sound.

The top assassination artifact.

Ron guessed that [Wuying] should be the top-quality one in the blue entry.

So he kept the blue entry, and then swiped the second entry, and encountered what happened above.

"Forget it, keep this for now. Anyway, there are three entries, let's do the third one first." Ron's gaze fell on entry 3 of [Intermediate Conduction].

This entry is an attribute that comes with the short sword, and its effect is also very simple. It improves the transmission efficiency of battle energy, and can greatly exert its own strength when used.

But it was only a green quality entry, and Ron was not satisfied.

While brushing the entries, Ron thought of Abel's favorability, and then thought of Joyce's favorability from 87 to 65.

Apart from Sig, Abel and Egbert had the highest sympathy points, both with 94 points of sympathy, which was only 1 point short of the standard set by Ron.

Perhaps it was because the six of Sieg followed to the capital, and many things happened during the journey, such as killing black crows, solving major cases, interrogating forcefully, kindly buying gifts for everyone, and so on.

The favorability of the Six Seagers is much higher than that of the others, all of which are above 90 points, and Thomas has reached 93 points.

The other four are all at 91 or 92 favorability points.

By the way, after brushing the entries for Sig that night, his favorability has gone further, reaching 98 points, and there is still an upward trend.

Ron is looking forward to what will happen when the favorability is full.

But why did the favorability suddenly drop?

Even Veronica's favorability reached 85 points. Ron thought he treated Joyce well, so there was no reason for his favorability to be lower than Veronica's.

No, according to this line of thinking, 87 points of favorability is the real favorability?

Ron remembered that Joyce was asleep at the time, and her favorability dropped after she woke up.

And the favorability on the character card only corresponds to Ron, not anyone else.No matter what the situation is, it is a sign of affection for Ron.

Thinking of this, Ron chuckled lightly, showing a relieved smile, "What should I say, Joyce, you really maintain a rational mind all the time, not only deceiving the character card, but also deceiving yourself .”

As I said a long time ago, Joyce is an exceptionally rational person, and she never acts emotionally.

In Ron's eyes, she had done nothing wrong.The whole body exudes a rational atmosphere, which is completely opposite to Veronica's emotional approach.

In getting along with Ron, she may have realized her admiration for the lord. It would be fine if she was an ordinary maid, but Joyce was ordered by the lord to handle the government affairs of the territory.

There is a responsibility upon her, and she must always think rationally, even when dealing with lords.

Ron guessed that it was not only for him, maybe Joyce treated other people the same way, and it was more likely that he was not as good as him.

When a question had a result, Ron stopped thinking about it. When he continued to write entries for the short sword, Irene came over anxiously.

"Master, master! It's not good."

Ron shook the armchair lightly, half-opening his eyes and said, "What happened again? Are the popsicles ready?"

"Master, it's about popsicles!"

Irene held the small grooved wooden box and leaned in front of Ron, and said with fluttering eyes, "Master, we have no ice!"

Ron: "."

He lowered his eyebrows and glanced at what Irene was holding. In the groove of the wooden box was the popsicle syrup she made, and the wooden box was a mold for shaping.

In order to taste a new delicacy, this guy's ability to move is full, and Ron admires it.

He asked calmly, "What's in it?"

Irene replied honestly: "I put pudding, beans, and some sugar."

Hearing this, Ron raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Go and call Sig to come over, and keep this thing."

Soon, Sig came.

"My lord, do you have any orders?" He was a little excited. Does the lord have any important tasks for him?

Ron nodded, and then said to Irene: "You can make some other flavors, and I will teach you better flavors later."

"I'll go right away." Irene rejoiced, and hurriedly left the garden.

When Sig was at a loss, Ron's voice came, "Use your ability to cool this thing down."

Looking at the thing in front of him, Sig suddenly realized that the lord is testing my ability to control it!
His expression became extremely serious, this time he will not disappoint the lord again!

After half an hour.

Irene made several kinds of popsicle syrup with different flavors and came to the garden. There was no sign of Sig in the gazebo, only Ron was eating a popsicle.

"Young master, what are you eating?" Irene's pupils trembled, her eyes were filled with disbelief, as if she would cry in the next second.

"Popsicle, you made it." Ron said frankly, it is also a joy to tease the innocent maid every day.

Eileen tried her best to suppress her sobs, even if her nose was sore, she couldn't cry!
But in the next second, Ron's words broke her defense, "Well, the taste is really good, but unfortunately there is only one."

woohoo~
Irene was crying after all, and Ron said helplessly, "Okay, I won't tease you, you can take these newly made ones to Sig, he has a way."

"Really?" Hearing this, Irene stopped crying.

"real."

Up to now, Irene also knew that the young master was teasing her, and said, "You are very kind, young master, don't forget your promise."

Then he ran away without a trace.

Ron shook his head and continued to write entries for the short sword.

On the other side, the blacksmith workshop.

After Nancy got the address, she quickly found it. She knocked on the door, "Is Master Hadey there?"

"Where is the little girl, this is not the place for you, what about your adults?" Hadey said impatiently. He received an order from the Cavaliers and needed to build a batch of equipment for Abel and the others. Excuse me, I'm in a bad mood.

"Wait! You're an elf!"

Hadey suddenly widened his eyes, showing a face of astonishment.
