Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Back when Nicholas ascended to the throne of Crown Prince, Marilyn made all sorts of unreasonable demands, even asking Nicholas to send troops to attack the East Sea Islands.

Simply put, she is a very troublesome woman. As long as he can get close to Empress Maria, Soran can still obtain the support of the court mages.

After all, the previous leader of the Court Mage Corps was the late Empress Dowager. Although the power of the Harun family in the Court Mage Corps is not as great as Marilyn's, it should not be underestimated.

Watching Soran's departing figure, Marilyn suddenly asked, "Lilia, what do you think of this kid?"

"He has excellent city and temperament, but he seems very wary of us." A woman with closed eyes and excellent appearance walked out from the group of maids standing behind Marilyn.

"Oh! Very wary of us." Marilyn immediately became interested.

"Among the princes and princesses tonight, which one are you most optimistic about?" Marilyn asked slowly, with a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth.

"Prince Soran and Prince Samael are both two-faced and unwilling to be mediocre. In the future, the position of Crown Prince will only be contested between the two of them," Lilia said without thinking.

"Oh! What about Nicholas?" Marilyn looked thoughtfully at the towering mage tower in the palace.

"Teacher, you already understand in your heart that he is just a transitional candidate."

The next day, after getting up early, Soran finished washing up with the help of the maid and put on his mourning clothes.

Before going out, he checked the notes he had written last night, which were his next plans and various technical products he could scavenge from his mind. This would be the foundation for his survival.

In the corridor in front of the hall, Soran once again saw a maid sweeping the corridor with a broom. Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he walked past as if nothing had happened.

At the end of the funeral, an assassination incident that shocked the court occurred. Nicholas, who had just been appointed Crown Prince, was assassinated and almost had his throat slit by a maid.

The reason why Soran remembered it so clearly was because that assassination was part of the battle plot. Controlling Soran to fight, everything that happened was clearly visible.

However, at that time, Soran was just a mage with weak combat power. In the end, it was the two female attendants of his mother's concubine who saved Nicholas.

That sweeping woman, during the assassination, burst out with the strength of a fifth-order assassin, and then a large number of assassins jumped out.

How many assassins are hidden in this palace is also an unsolved mystery.

No wonder every imperial concubine and princess is protected by two female attendants.

"This is really a dangerous place!"

Every morning, going to the church to pray for the Empress Dowager for an hour is a daily compulsory course for every prince and princess.

When Soran left, he happened to see Corena with a smile on her face.

"This is a holy place for pilgrimage, what kind of behavior is it to be grinning!" Corena had just wanted to say hello when Soran said coldly.

Soran blinked his eyes. He had actually forgotten this path to wealth.

"I know, you can go busy yourself!" Soran said and returned to his study.

Salt is an extremely precious strategic material in the Holy Prague Empire, because this world does not yet have the technology of sun-drying salt by the sea, and no one even knows that sea salt can be used. Most of the salt comes from the empire's several salt lakes and a few salt marshes or caves.

The salt produced in salt lakes is okay. Although it contains many impurities, it can basically be used as salt after a little screening, but you will occasionally eat sand.

The salt made from raw materials obtained from salt marshes or caves can mostly only be called industrial salt, not edible salt.

More than 10,000 people die every year in the empire from eating industrial salt, and the number of diseases caused by industrial salt is even more numerous.

Fortunately, the royal family has special regulations on salt, and the salt purchased is almost all produced from the empire's several large salt lakes, which is safe and reliable.

Although it is safe, it is not necessarily clean, because crude salt is easily contaminated by harmful substances, which can easily cause excessive heavy metals. Especially in this era of magic and swords, magical pollution is a topic that can never be avoided.

Even if the royal family controls it at every level, salt poisoning incidents occasionally occur in the palace.

Soran took out his token and asked the maid outside the door to bring one kilogram of crude salt and pots and pans from the kitchen.

Although the two maids were puzzled, they respectfully obeyed.

Although the process of refining fine salt is simple, the process control and ratio must be mastered. In his previous life, Soran liked to watch this kind of ancient production video on Douyin the most.

Essential skills for time travel, learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry well.

The process of refining fine salt is divided into dissolving, filtering, evaporating, and finally crystallizing.

This process took Soran more than an hour. A total of eight hundred grams of fine salt were extracted from one kilogram of crude salt. This is because the crude salt of the royal family has been screened at every level to select the best quality with the lowest impurities and pollution.

Many crude salts refined by the people do not even have half of the fine salt, which shows how serious the impurities and various elements are.

When Soran was grinding the crystals into fine salt, Corena and Yasso came to Soran's place at the same time.

Soran helped her so much yesterday, she had to come for both personal and rational reasons. Yasso was already used to eating at Soran's place. As long as it was mealtime, he would definitely be there on time.

In the palace, except for the emperor and the twelve concubines, the daily three meals of other princes and princesses have specifications and restrictions.

So there is no such thing as opening their own kitchen. In order to be able to eat better, most of the unpopular princes and princesses eat together. In fact, this approach is to let all the princes and princesses form a group, so that when the battle for the throne comes in the future, they can increase their chances of winning.

Soran had seen long ago that all the emperor's children, except for those princes and princesses with deep backgrounds, were almost like Gu worms. They were raised by the emperor in the palace. If they wanted better living conditions, or even to sit on the throne, it was inevitable to unite and win over the experience of fighting.

Those children who failed in the struggle would be ruthlessly exiled by the emperor to the border areas to become lords.
