Chapter 44： Winter is coming, the potion that damages vitality

The war is over, but the effects of the war continue to ferment.

The first to be affected are the nobles of the empire. Because of this incident, King Byrne VI began to set up a special agency to investigate a large number of nobles, and among these nobles, there are indeed a small number of problems, among which are the surrounding spies of several countries.

As for the results of these nobles, it is natural to say no more, they all died quite miserably.

Of course, more than that, he also began to clean up all aspects of the empire. The economy, politics, and military were the top priorities. The drastic reforms and tough methods made people panic for a while.

Those affected privately said that the king must be crazy, but only Eli knew that this should be the king's final preparations for the prince to succeed the king.

Change takes time, and Eli estimates it will take years.

In this process, Eli was not affected very much, but people around him were greatly affected.

Due to the economic reform, Roland's chamber of commerce actually rose up with this wind from the palace. The strength of the chamber of commerce began to expand, and the scope of business could also begin to expand, showing a feeling of prosperity.

And because the king took back some of the iron ore, the power of the Elena family has shrunk a bit. Of course, there must be an exchange of interests. Eli doesn't know, and he's not very clear.

Herman's father also seemed to be involved and was imprisoned. Then the eldest son inherited the noble title. The other heirs divided up the family property and left Herman a house on the outskirts of King's Landing.

The sudden accident made Herman completely lose the hope of inheriting the title, but this made Maester Lemon very happy, because he felt that it would allow Herman to concentrate on his studies.

But reality tells Maester Lemon that character is hard to change.

…

"Herman, you made a mistake again!"

"Fortunately, the scholar test has been canceled. If you pass it unexpectedly, it will simply lower the overall level of scholars. Can't you be more serious?"

The study room was filled with the angry voice of Maester Lemon, Eli was helping analyze the materials, and Herman was standing aside to receive the concern from Lemon.

It's just that Herman at this time just stood quietly and lowered his head this time.

"sorry!"

The low voice sounded like a twitch, and Lemon, who was scolding Zhenghuan at first, was stunned.

"Uh... It's okay, did something happen?" Maester Lemon knew Herman's character, and something must have happened.

"I received news this morning that my father died in prison." Herman said sadly, tears falling to the ground drop by drop.

Maester Lemon was also silent for a while.

Eli also looked over, no wonder Herman's state is always in a trance today.

"Well, it's fine, in fact, what you did today is not bad." Maester Lemon was stunned for a few seconds before he said.

"Eli, take him out to play, rest and rest!" he said to Eli next to him.

"Yeah!" Eli stood up and took Herman out.

"Eli, don't you think I'm stupid? Why can't I do anything like this all the time!"

Walking down the promenade downstairs, Herman looked at Eli with tears on his face.

"Of course not. Master Lemon scolds you because he thinks you still have hope for improvement. If he really ignores you, then it really means you're useless." Eli comforted.

Although Herman was his senior, he was about the same age as Eli, both twenty years old this year.

"Maybe." Herman shook his head.

"My father also died, I will move to that house in the future, and I will work hard in the future." Suddenly, Herman raised his head, wiped away his tears, and smiled.

"That's good!" Eli smiled and said, "It's rare to have a leisure time today, so let's have a good time with you."

"Okay, where to go then?" Herman replied, showing his teeth.

"Uh, let's play in Moon Lane and Liuying Lane."

"I haven't been? Have you been?"

"How could I have been there? I gave up my life to accompany the knight today. If it hadn't made you happy, how could I have gone to that kind of place." Eli shook his head and said.

"Thank you." Herman smiled.

The time for entertainment always goes by quickly.

Herman only remembered that he was taken by Eli, eating, drinking, and having fun. The process was very pleasant, and it made him feel as if he had ascended into the clouds. It was his happiest day.

But when he got home, he was also vaguely suspicious.

Why do the young ladies in Liuying Lane seem to know Eli?

Moreover, Eli was too familiar with it, as if he had come home.

…

Herman recovered well, worked harder the next day, and made fewer mistakes.

This made Maester Lemon overjoyed. The only uncomfortable thing was that no one seemed to have scolded him recently, which made him feel a little aggrieved.

Of course, this mission still had to be undertaken by Herman, so Maester Lemon raised Herman's standard, so the happy days came back, and Herman was still being scolded.

As a result, several teachers and students returned to their once peaceful lives.

Eli is also getting closer and closer to successfully configuring the potion.

Should be successful within a year.

But three months later.

In the middle of the experiment, he seemed to have encountered a little accident.

…

Three months later!

"The 1111th experiment, the materials of UU Reading are purple iris, ghost mushroom..., the specific ratio is 6:1:..."

In front of the experimental table, Eli carefully wrote down the experimental data this time, and then picked up the already prepared potion.

Walking towards the corner of the laboratory, a huge transparent box is placed here. At this time, there are many mice jumping around, looking very active.

In vivo experiment!

Just take out a little guinea pig.

Eli moved him to another box and drank a few milliliters of the prepared solution.

The mouse drank the liquid and passed more than ten meters without any change. Eli waited patiently. He knew that the potion would take a certain amount of time to work.

Another minute.

Mice finally changed.

I saw that his fur quickly started to dry up, and his body didn't seem to be getting thinner.

But to Eli's surprise, the mouse's black eyes became brighter and brighter, like a ray of light, which was a sign of increased mental power.

"Failed!" Eli shook his head.

No doubt, it failed again this time.

He took out the little mice and threw them aside. There were already a few dead ones, and he would clean them up after the experiment was over.

"No, it seems that this time I burned my body to gain a spiritual boost." Eli shook his head, preparing for the next experiment.

"Wait a minute, what burns is the body, but what burns in essence is the life force. This is actually the burning life and the improved spiritual force."

Suddenly, in the laboratory, Eli's movements froze.

The experiment failed, but it didn't seem to be a complete failure.
