Immortal Cultivator of Wizard Academy

Chapter 149 Trial by the Noble Council

The reason for the repeated failures in refining the magic potion turned out to be that the main ingredient, Ningshen Flower, had expired.

Tai'an wasted a lot of time on this, and finally realized his mistake after being reminded by the great detective Yin Yue.

"Xiao An, why don't you use your brain to think about why the Ningshen flowers have to be picked after the rain? If it can be kept forever, why not just put it in a jar and take it out when needed?"

"How long can Ningshen Flower be stored?"

"Ten hours after the rain stops at most! Depending on the air humidity in various places, it is recommended to use it immediately for the best effect." The silver-haired Lolita was thinking, pinching her chin with the thumb and index finger of her right hand: "Also, don't mess with the magic potion. Drinking it will affect your development. You'd better pay attention to the loss of vitality..."

"Oh! Don't you drink it every day?" Tai'an's question went straight to the point.

"Xiao'an, how do you know?" Yinyue was confused.

"The smell of your body..." Tai'an has always had a good nose.

Yinyue suddenly realized: "The vitality lost by magic potion can be made up by life potion, or other ways to replenish vitality. For example, Xiao An's saliva is the most effective."

"How dare you tease me!" Shota grabbed the silver-haired loli's ponytail fiercely.

"I didn't. I told the truth. I never lie..."

Tai'an didn't listen to the explanation and took her away directly.

Half an hour later, the silver-haired goblin ran out of the bedroom in disheveled clothes, with tears of humiliation in his starry eyes.

"Hey, damn Xiao An, he only bullies me..."

At noon on Friday, Tai'an made daily inspections of Eisenhower Apartment. Every time, I must enter directly through the window to save the time of climbing the stairs. I saw Gus's two younger sisters, Xiaoyu and Yezi, in Elaine's room.

"Master Tai'an!" the girls greeted each other.

Ye Zi told the plan with an embarrassed expression. After many days of visits and inspections, she was ready to join the catering industry with the highest and most stable customer flow.

The main reason is that the threshold is the lowest. The remaining stores with high profits require special supply channels. Some big chain brands also require high franchise fees.

The selected lot is close to the main road leading outside the city and the intersection of Squirrel Lane, with an area of ​​about 60 square meters.

The average monthly rent is fifty silver, and the plan is to sign a five-year contract. Pay one year's rent for one year, and pay a total of twelve gold.

The plan is to spend two gold on decoration, one gold as reserve fund for purchasing food materials, and plan to recruit six to eight people, with an average monthly salary of three silver.

"Very ambitious!" Tai'an commented.

"After all, with your support, I can take bigger steps." Ye Zi bowed humbly.

“What category are you preparing for catering?”

"I want to take the low-end route and sell breakfast based on seasonal ingredients, and sell dine-in box lunches at noon and afternoon. I will also cook braised vegetables and barbecue in the evening. I can also sell some wine and beverages. It will be used throughout the day."

Tai'an stared into Ye Zi's clear eyes: "Go to the housekeeper Mo Suofei to report the accounts every month. I will give you all your trust. Of course, only once. Before the store makes a profit, the salary level can only be opened to 70%."

"As you wish."

The yellow golden dragons made a wonderful sound when they hit each other, and they were piled on the bedside table, fifteen pieces in total. The leaves are carefully put into the purse that you carry with you and placed close to your body in the inner pocket of your clothes. You must be able to touch them at all times to feel at ease. "You can ask your brother to accompany you!" Tai'an relaxed the restrictions.

Although it is not recognized as the property of the Blue Rose family, Gus is allowed to provide the care he can.

Ye Zi pondered slightly and shook his head slowly.

Xiaoyu frowned on the side: "Zi Zi, what are you thinking? If something goes wrong with so much money, you won't be able to pay it back in your lifetime."

"Everyone has his own ambitions. I don't want to tell him my plan." Ye Zi murmured softly.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Elm Street.

The building where the Noble Council is located is like a museum, with the exterior walls carved from white marble. Coachman Obitz skillfully drove the carriage into the parking space in the square.

Taiya, who was wearing a red dress, opened the car door and got out of the car, followed by the two newly recruited followers Tiniham and Yulin, as well as the follower Bruno. She thought she had a strong lineup, and she couldn't restrain the pride on her face.

The Speaker, who had been waiting for a long time, personally came out to greet her and gave her enough face. He praised Taiya's beauty in words and arranged the seats to show his attention.

Most of the people participating in this trial meeting were the heads of the major nobles or the first heirs. Taiya stood out among all the men, and there was a faint uneasiness in her heart. Fortunately, the followers stood behind him and gave him courage, and he gradually calmed down.

The Speaker, wearing a white wig, slowly walked towards the podium, with his hands on both sides of the table. He knocked the gavel to signal silence.

"Thank you for participating in the trial decision regarding the Belland family. I will give the most just sentence based on the code, and welcome supervision and suggestions. This meeting will be broadcast live to the public."

There was warm applause from the audience.

The Speaker took out the manuscript he had prepared and read out the Belland family's crimes verbatim. It covers all aspects, ranging from colluding with evil gods and heretics to sacrifice, killing people, abducting people, selling highly addictive potions, and bullying and dominating the market. After excluding the repetitive parts, I read it for about ten minutes.

The image of doing no evil has directly blocked the idea of ​​​​defense on the part of some stakeholders.

In fact, neither the courts nor the Parliament of Nobles had the right to try powerful nobles. Even if the nobles did something illegal, the most they could do was condemn them. The highest fixed punishment is nothing more than refusing to recognize the status of the nobility and the legitimacy of the territory. The punishment for ordinary violations usually only requires the payment of a fine, and a symbolic repentance and apology.

The Council of Nobles is primarily a body that mediates disputes and certifies. The real highlight lies in the subsequent crusade.

The rich southern land occupied by the Belland family is coveted. Compared with some public positions or real estate, a wider territory is the foundation for nobles to settle down and live, and can be passed down from generation to generation.

The crusade army formed undoubtedly needs a leader.

The protagonist of the incident, the Blue Rose family, did their part. No one dares to question the strength of the two powerful men in the holy realm.

However, Taiya did not directly declare his intention to join the crusade. Although the Speaker emphasized that as the leader, he has the right to prioritize the division of territory, considering that it is an enclave for the Blue Rose family and needs to be managed by dispersed strength, it is not worth the gain to bear most of the pressure and risks.

Taiya did not completely deny the possibility of intervening in the crusade, but simply stated that the family's powerful men from the Sanctuary could not be mobilized for the time being, and made excuses.

The trial process is over, and next is the industrial auction.

Last night, Taiya contacted her father Tai Lun and got an operating quota of 3,000 gold, and her younger brother Tai'an had an operating quota of 10,000 gold.

In comparison, it is easy to see the difference.

"Where did Xiao An get so much money? I don't even know!" Tai Yasu rested her chin on her hands, feeling inexplicable.
