Chapter 101 Review
Jiangyou suddenly felt scared. She seemed to have become the center of the storm without her knowing it.
- Was her arrival in this world the result of a magical accident, or was it the result of someone else's ulterior motive? Is there a mastermind lurking in the shadows, watching her every move?
She suddenly didn't know who to trust...Oh, Andre, Andre's family should be trustworthy.
What about Aunt Wolf? Aunt Wolf is the first friend she met after coming to this world. Could she be a bad person?
"We need to review this carefully," Jiang You muttered. The old tailor in front of her raised his head and adjusted his glasses. "Huh? What did you say?"
Jiang You: “.”
After finally finishing his measurements, Jiangyou slumped down on the reception room's chaise longue, his figure almost limp. Annina, still full of energy, quickly finalized the order with the tailor: "I want this suit, I want that suit, and I like the red dress too. Take it!"
Takumi Yuu: "...What a lively mommy."
The old tailor was very efficient. Most of the clothes he brought were semi-finished products, just one or two steps away from completion. He quickly made three suits for Andre and the others to wear at the ceremony tomorrow. He would deliver the remaining orders in three days.
——Most of them were clothes that Annina picked for Takumi Yuu.
Jiang You was a little embarrassed about this. He had come here for no apparent reason and received so many clothes as gifts. However, Annina did not think there was anything wrong with it. "There are many banquets coming up. I need to give one set to each one so as not to bring shame to our family."
Having said that, Jiang You had no choice but to accept this valuable kindness.
Then, as planned, the three of them went to Heidi's restaurant for dinner. Heidi's restaurant, located at the junction of the central cultural district and the market area, was called "Dream Garden." The decoration was quite refined, like a Michelin restaurant in later times, but the food, in Jiangyou's opinion, was only average.
The signature dish is filet mignon. The beef is top-notch and fresh, fully marinated with rosemary and sea salt, then fried in butter to the chef's recommended medium-rare. When cut, the outside is a beautiful Maillard brown, while the middle is still rose pink with a hint of blood.
This is a very classic way to cook steak, and both the taste and the cooking time can score 80 points.
However, this kind of steak is difficult to go wrong as long as the meat is of qualified quality and cooked to perfection.
Tonight's soups included tomato oxtail soup, split pea soup, and cream of seafood soup. They each ordered one. The oxtail wasn't flavorful enough, the split pea soup was bland, and the cream of seafood soup was fishy... not even as good as the Dresden family's chef's.
After finishing the meal, Jiangyou felt relieved.
They did not meet Heidi in the restaurant that night. Perhaps the young lady had not yet arrived in the capital... In any case, she would appear as the representative of the Lothar family at tomorrow's enfeoffment ceremony.
After dinner, the group returned to the mansion in a carriage. Annina declared herself tired and yawned as she returned to the third floor, while Takumi pulled Andrei into his room.
She put the memory stone into Andre's hand and played him all her initial memories of coming to this world.
Andrei closed his eyes and reviewed the memory in his mind. Then he looked at Takumi with interest, his green eyes gleaming with amusement. "So, you slept with my album in your hands those days? Are you so satisfied with my abs?"
"Ahhh! How could they record this kind of memory?" Skeleton Rack instantly became red. "Don't worry about this kind of thing! Let's review it quickly! Review it!"
Andre looked at the discolored skeleton and chuckled softly a few times. In the end, he let Jiang You go and turned the topic back to the business: "Let's list the doubts first."
He took out a pen and paper and wrote down everything he found suspicious.
"The first reason I noticed Mi Funa and Mi You was because of the special potions that repeatedly appeared in cases related to the Evil Eye Moon," Andrei narrated from the beginning. "Mi Funa was a master potion master from a foreign country, with many of her own formulas... I followed the clues of these cases and soon discovered Mi Funa. However, before I could contact her, she had already died in the dark alleys of the black market in the royal capital.
"But strangely enough, her unique potion still appears in various cases related to the Evil Eye Moon. For example, the two murderers who died in the Witch Forest incident took Mi Funa's famous poison, and the poison they wanted to put in the bonfire was also Mi Funa's exclusive recipe."
"But at that time, Mi Funa had been dead for a long time, even Mi You had died." Jiang You asked in confusion.
"Well, there are two possibilities. One is that Mi Funa mixed a large amount of potions before her death and gave them to the people of Evil Eye Moon, and these stocks have not been used up. The other possibility is... Mi Funa still has an apprentice alive, and this person is very likely a member of Evil Eye Moon."
"That's right! The Grand Master of Potions also needs to inherit the throne. Mi You isn't good at making potions, so Mi Funa might have trained another disciple!" Jiang You said, "Have you found out the identity of her disciple yet?"
"Mi Funa escaped the disaster of the Rusman Federation... No, to be more precise, her homeland is the Ximan Kingdom, which borders the Rusman Federation. The Ximan Kingdom is a famous potion kingdom, rich in various medicinal herbs, and its medical level is considered the best in the world. The people there value family, and the naming rule is to put the surname first, followed by the personal name, and there are no middle names.
“They are proficient in pharmacology and medicine, and can even use potions to delay their aging, achieving immortality in a sense.
"About thirty years ago, an unprecedented civil war broke out in the Heman Kingdom, known as the 'Poison Dust War.' The massive amounts of poison used in the war contaminated the air, water, and land, resulting in the deaths of many. To escape the disaster and the war, those with a bit of ability flocked to the neighboring Rusman Federation.
"The Rusman Federation is a renowned nation of scholars, welcoming those with knowledge. Mi Funa is one of them. She passed the Grand Master of Potions test in the Rusman Federation, becoming famous both at home and abroad, and began to travel extensively under the title of Grand Master of Potions. The Crucible of Time in your hand was likely custom-made by Mi Funa when she was in the Rusman Federation.
"About twenty-seven or twenty-eight years ago, Mi Funa and the magician Mebucha rescued the princess who was then imprisoned at Rose Villa. The princess later became Mi Funa's apprentice. This is the first record I've found of Mi Funa's apprentice."
