Master Tongtian

Chapter 279 The biggest task of mortal life (34)

As a lord, naturally you don’t need to do it yourself.

To open a college, an order is issued, the design of the college is given, and funds are allocated, and the college starts construction immediately.

And if you want to study the problem of mage fertility, naturally you can only go to Vivian for help.

Lily Manor.

As usual, Vivian stayed in the laboratory playing with the microscope. She looked at the camera with one eye and controlled the pen to record the appearance of the body with the other eye.

After seeing Rosen, I said hello to him and continued to focus on my work.

Rosen stepped forward and took a look at the small body diagram she drew. It was a pretty good sketch, but it was still inevitably distorted, and he said, "Why don't you let me draw it?"

Upon hearing this, Vivian's eyes lit up: "Oh, why did I forget you, a great painter?"

She immediately gave way.

Rosen walked to the camera and took a look, and found that Vivian was observing a very peculiar cell. After a closer look, he found that it seemed to be a group of tadpoles.

"Where did this come from?"

"From a mutated male rat."

Vivian's expression was very natural, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

"I really want to know why mice are born when these little things enter the body of a female mouse."

After saying that, he looked at Rosen again, his gaze downwards, with a charming smile in his eyes: "How about."

Rosen immediately knew what she was thinking and immediately said: "I probably know the answer to this question."

"oh?"

Rosen picked up the paintbrush and began to print the internal structure of the tadpole while explaining the principles of biological reproduction in local language.

"If you look carefully, you will find that there are two kinds of small bodies used for procreation in the world."

“One kind is small and there are many of them, and one is big and there are few.”

"The male provides small ones in large numbers, and the female provides large ones in small quantity. When the two are put together, they form a complete reproductive body, which is the original life."

Vivian was very surprised: "You didn't have a microscope before, how did you confirm this?"

Rosen smiled: "There are many reproductive bodies in this world, which can be seen with the eyes."

"for example?"

"egg."

Vivian was startled, then shocked, and then her face showed admiration: "Rosen, your observation ability is really strong!"

Rosen continued: "According to this logic, fish eggs, frog eggs, chicken and duck eggs are all reproductive bodies."

Vivian's eyes widened when she heard it, and she started taking notes.

"Any more?"

"Then, I discovered that the development of life follows a pattern from low-level to high-level. The more advanced you are, the more carefully you will take care of your offspring."

"The lower-level ones, such as fish and toads, will directly discharge their reproductive bodies into the water, while the higher-level ones will form a hard-shelled egg. Such as chickens, ducks, geese, turtles, etc."

"More advanced creatures, such as sheep, cows, and pigs, are warm to the touch, but they can't see the so-called 'eggs'."

Vivian's thoughts were guided by Rosen, and when she heard this, she subconsciously asked.

"Yes, why not?"

"My guess is that it's not that there are none, but that these advanced beings hide the eggs in the belly of the female beast. They wait until the eggs hatch in the belly and become mobile before they are born."

Vivian understood.

"So, I should be able to find a large reproductive body in the belly of the mutated female mouse?"

Rosen nodded: "Yes, but there is no need to go to such trouble."

"How to say?"

"In fact, women should also have it in their stomachs, and a phenomenon has already predicted this."

Vivian's heart moved and she immediately thought: "Are you referring to women's menstruation?"

"That's right."

Rosen explained in detail.

"You think, after a woman becomes an adult, she will have sex about once a month, and there will always be a few days every month when she feels like she really wants to do something, right?"

Vivian nodded repeatedly: "That's right!"

"This should correspond to the ewe's estrus period. At this time, the ewe will jump up and down, extremely excited. Once it meets the male, it will even take the initiative to tease him."

"If the ram helps, then the ewe can be pregnant with the lamb, right?"

Vivian nodded again and began to make inferences based on this.

"So, if you do things during these days, it will be easier to get pregnant."

Thinking of this, she was suddenly shocked: "No, I didn't come this month, no, I didn't come last month either!"

He immediately reached out to touch his lower abdomen and found that it seemed to be a little bulging. Then he immediately looked up at Rosen.

"I told you why I am so good at eating during this period. It turns out I have your seed!"

She wouldn't have ignored it at first, but getting an artifact like the microscope disrupted her original plan.

Rosen shrugged: "Then you shouldn't be too tired during this period and pay more attention to rest."

To be honest, he doesn't have much affection for this child, but it is his child after all, so he is very happy to be here. It also directly proves the effectiveness of the blood blessing potion.

Vivian shook her head: "I don't feel tired at all, I just eat better."

Rosen didn't have any objection either, because Vivian was not the kind of delicate woman who would fall down in the wind.

She is very strong, and there are many servants in Lily Manor, so she just needs to pay a little attention to her daily.

It is also conceivable that if she is not allowed to do experiments for ten months, she will most likely go crazy.

He handed the sketch he had drawn to Vivian: "I think the name Xiaoti is not formal, easy to confuse, and not easy to be remembered. How about changing it to a unique name?"

"Change your name. What should you call it?"

"Why don't we call it a cell? A very small and thin one, similar to a little guy who has just been born and is still wrapped in a layer of fetal membranes."

"Ah, this description is appropriate, let's call it a cell."

Vivian took the sketch drawn by Rosen and couldn't help but sigh: "Your painting skills are really enviable, but it's a pity that I can't learn from them."

As she said that, she asked: "What do you want to see me for today?"

Rosen crossed his arms and leaned on the experimental table, talking about business.

"Just for the sake of children. I want to understand why mages have difficulty conceiving, and then find a way to overcome this problem."

Upon hearing this question, Vivian immediately became extremely interested.

"Ah ha~~ Then I happen to have a child in my belly. I will do a careful physical examination and maybe I can find out the cause directly."

She felt that she would have something to do for a long time in the future.

Rosen is also very happy, because this is indeed a very rare sample.

After thinking about it, I decided to add another safety lock to Vivian: "There is also good news. You will definitely like it very much."

"My dear, just tell me and stop torturing me."

So, Rosen explained the deal he had negotiated with Alfroya.

"When your child is born, and when you understand the general operating principle of the mortal mana bubble, I will provide you with extraordinary life cells for your research."

After hearing this, Vivian was really excited.

She quickly rushed to Rosen, hugged his face and kissed him hard: "Oh, my dear, you are so amazing!"

Rosen allowed her to kiss him, and when her passion was almost released, he continued: "I think that to complete so much work, it's definitely not enough for you alone. Why not recruit a few apprentices as assistants?"

Vivian laughed and said, "I also have this idea. There are a lot of tedious and repetitive monotonous tasks in the laboratory, which waste my time and energy. It's better to leave them to apprentices."

Then the matter is settled.

After being intimate for a while, Rosen returned to Crescent Town in a carriage. When passing by the temple, he asked Vina to get the blood blessing potion.

Exactly two bottles.

It was exactly 5 o'clock in the evening, so he returned to the castle with the potion.

After dinner, I first discussed spells with Thrandis and Gendeloni in the study, and then we entered the bedroom together around 9 o'clock.

After going to bed, Rosen took out the potion with a look on his face as if he was offering a treasure.

"Anna, Jenny, what do you think this is?"

The potion is transparent and exudes a light yellow shimmer, like flowing amber, very beautiful.

Both women were puzzled.

Rosen didn't hold back and gave the answer directly.

After hearing this, Anna's eyes suddenly lit up: "My love~ God's wisdom is really endless~"

But Rosen noticed that Gendeloni seemed to be shrinking a little, so he asked, "Jenny doesn't want a child?"

Gendeloni was startled, nodded, and then immediately shook her head.

"I want one, but I'm a little scared because my mother died in childbirth."

Rosen immediately comforted.

"Jenny, it's okay. The healing priest in the temple has rich experience in delivering babies and has a matching magical skill called 'Peace of Mother and Child'."

Difficult childbirth is indeed scary, but when you reach the level of a lord and wife, there is no need to worry at all.

Although the baron is a small lord, there are hundreds of millions of people in the entire Golden Land, and the number of barons does not exceed a thousand. They are already at the top of the pyramid and can basically get the best services from the temple.

Gendeloni's fear was greatly reduced: "Really?"

Rosen nodded: "Of course it's true."

She looked at Thrandis: "Anna, do you think I'm going to give birth?"

Thrandis thought for a moment and said: "I think it's better to have one. After all, a woman must have a child for her life to be complete. Moreover, this way our children can grow up together and not be lonely."

Gendeloni nodded in agreement, but looked at her chest and felt a little worried.

"But I'm worried that my child will starve after birth."

Thrandis couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I won't let the child go hungry. Besides, you can also ask for a feeding maid."

In this way, Gendeloni had no worries at all, so she made up her mind.

"Give me a bottle too."

After the two girls drank the potion, Rosen began to sow hard.

After sowing the seeds, both women were extremely sleepy and fell asleep cuddling up to Rosen.

But Rosen couldn't sleep. He lay flat on the big bed with his hands behind his head, closing his eyes and thinking.

The issue of mage fertility has been put on the agenda, and now it is time to consider the issue of establishing a regular army in the territory.

"Now the main town area has been built, the reservoir is in good condition, the college has started construction, and the magic weapon and custom painting businesses are operating normally, and the balance of payments can be roughly maintained."

"I don't have much money left. I think I only have 20,000 crowns available."

"The defense system these days consists of armies, castles and fortresses. This thing is really a gold-eating beast."

"In the Barony Territory, the army size is generally 600. The Crescent Territory has a special situation, and the size has been increased to 1,000, which can be divided into 10 knights."

"A traditional professional army of 1,000 people will definitely not be able to support it with 30,000 citizens. It will have to rely on external resources."

"That would cost real money, and it would be hard to raise."

"I'm very tight on money right now, and the traditional army's combat effectiveness is only average. It's really uneconomical to rely on human lives to fight."

"How to do it?"

Rosen thought carefully and quickly came up with a new idea.

"How about I build a new battle mage army? Cooperate with the fortress and adopt the fort style of defense and counterattack?"

"It seems feasible."

"Although there is no powerful explosive with stable performance in this world, it can be completely replaced by mana."

"But where can we find so many mages with magic power and willingness to fight?"

Obviously, there can't be so many battle mages.

Because no one likes to fight on the battlefield, especially mages.

The mages have a relatively large choice, so it is difficult to gather enough battle mages.

Suddenly an idea jumped out of my mind.

"Hmm~ Why am I so stupid? Why do we have to let the mage go to the battlefield in person?"

"The mages don't need to go at all, just use the magic."

"This path is already on its way, and that is the rune stone. I can definitely take this path to the extreme!"

Rosen thought carefully and gradually had a clear plan in his mind.

"Start it tomorrow!"

"By the way, we don't have much money left, so we have to find ways to make money tomorrow!"

That's what he thought, but the plan couldn't keep up.

The next morning, Rosen was sitting in the lord's study, and was about to send someone to find the mayor, Harrick, when Harrick came first with Supervisor Mona.

He explained solemnly: "Mona said she brought a letter from Her Royal Highness the Princess."
