But if I use it in war, it would be like having an army of giants.
“You’re right, but I’m thinking about my future territory. We need to reclaim land and do a lot of infrastructure work, so we definitely won’t have enough manpower.” Li Aili counted on her fingers.
The Duke paused in his hand as he cut the lamb chop. "But you don't have any territory now, so you don't need it."
Li Aili: "..."
"Therefore, sell all of this 'Giant Transformation Potion' to me and don't let it circulate in the market."
Fearing that Li Aili might not understand, the Duke bluntly stated, "I don't want my sheriff to come to me tomorrow saying that a 'giant' is causing trouble in the central city."
Li Aili: "..." She guiltily buried her head in her rice.
But, as the Duke said, after eating one cake, she had no room for a proper meal.
Then she started to dawdle, cutting a salad leaf into a dozen small pieces with a knife and stuffing them into her mouth little by little.
Arthur Cold Jade almost made her laugh in exasperation.
"If you can't eat, don't force yourself."
He gestured to Conrad, who was beside him, to bring the rest of Ellie's food to him.
Li Aili looked at him with curiosity, "I thought nobles wouldn't eat other people's leftovers."
The Duke glanced at her, lifting his eyes slightly. "Indeed."
The Duke finished speaking without further explanation.

"You can try starting from this point."
After dinner, the two went their separate ways to attend to their own things.
Li Aili had arranged to meet the knights' wives.
While eating, Joanna had already asked the maids in the southern district to make dozens of copies of the "Illustrated Handbook of Amazing Plants".
When the ladies arrived in Constantinople, each of them received a transcribed 'textbook' and an exam paper prepared by Ellie.
"Only those who score 60 or above on the test can learn how to make potions."
"Otherwise, the medicine made will have no effect."
The ladies were thrilled to receive their textbooks or exam papers, but they couldn't help but doubt themselves, "I really want to become an alchemist like you, but can I really do it?"
The woman who spoke had a few freckles on her face. Li Aili shrugged and said, "Give it a try. No matter what the result is, it's better than giving up without even trying, don't you think?"
The hesitant lady immediately nodded firmly.
"If we can produce three alchemists here, the production of [Healing Potion] can triple!"
"Sisters! Keep going!"
"Go for it!" The ladies, full of fighting spirit, put their little hands together and encouraged each other.
