Inside the room.
Five girls were gathered around, operating a rapidly rotating device, while Luo Fan was directing them from the side.
Soon, the sugar syrup flew everywhere, splashing all over the place, but fortunately it was blocked by the ice wall.
“Continue to lower the temperature and control the magic output of the magic core, let’s try again,” Ellie repeated.
The sugar syrup on the ice had solidified and set, though it didn't look very appetizing, but the few cute girls were enjoying it immensely.
Even the lazy little Ziyu got a small piece, which flew through the air as she smacked and licked it incessantly.
"Yes, that's it. Use a stick to slowly stir it together, bringing the fine fluff together as you turn it."
With careful work, Ellie and Emil finally completed the last white one, a soft and fluffy shape that received unanimous approval.
"Great, I didn't expect it to actually work. Ellie, this will be another product for the caravan from now on. We can add some edible food coloring to the sugar to change its color."
Luo Fan concluded that the magic circle he had previously created had inspired him to create one. He hadn't expected that it could be achieved using magic.
Emil is now in charge of the mercenary group's finances and researches new products for the caravan. He frequently comes over to consult with Ellie and seek Luo Fan's opinion.
"So delicious, I want more!" Seeing the girls sharing, Zi Yu rushed over from the air and started fighting with Huo Yu, which brought bursts of laughter.
"Emily, let's keep optimizing it and make it even better. It'll definitely be popular with everyone then!" Ellie tasted a little, her face beaming with joy.
"Hmm, Luo Fan has a lot of clever ideas. Since ice cream isn't selling well right now, this will be our main product from now on." Emil nodded with a smile; she really enjoyed what she was doing.
On the guild side.
After speaking with Joseph, the Duke became even angrier.
Currently, only the first three levels of the Ice Water Underground City are open. The pits are still covered with thick layers of ice, making them impassable. Even the secret passages are covered with thick layers of ice, preventing them from exploring further.
Therefore, those two people who claimed to be from a reclusive family were simply bluffing.
“Those two are both from the Bings family. They hold the title of viscount in the city, but they keep a low profile. They spend most of their time in their fiefdoms and aren’t very well-known here,” Joseph explained.
“They contacted me before, but I refused because the cold wave was too strong. I just had someone take them there to take a look. I guess they found Brie and learned a little about the situation.”
"A mere viscount dares to yell at me. I thought he was someone of high status!" After learning the specifics of the situation, the duke's anger did not completely subside.
"They should still have some connection with that family, and I heard they've been looking for an opportunity to return to the main family. Just bear with it for now. If it really comes down to it, suppress their businesses. If things get out of hand, the city lord will go crazy."
"I know, it's just a bit frustrating. What are their businesses?"
"They seem to have opened a few bakeries, and they also use ice-based ingredients."
"I understand, thanks!"
"You're welcome."
the next day.
Inside the maid tavern where it used to be, Emil was training the mercenary girls, practicing their skills.
Ellie has bought this place and transformed it into a cake shop, which also makes various kinds of bread. The original layout has also been adjusted.
Ellie, along with Daisy and her sister, were helping out inside, mainly tasting the various shaped desserts.
Luo Fan continued to stay with Ah Li, learning animal language from Ah Bao. The previous events hadn't affected the leopard woman much; she actually became very passionate about her work.
Moreover, after the previous short video incident, she became even more popular.
As a result, Professor Ali's efficiency also increased significantly, and she herself had things she wanted to do.
"Ah Li, there's nothing more I can teach you. That's all I know."
"Thank you again, Teacher Leopard."
"I should be thanking you. If you're going to the Orc Empire in the future, well, the Leopard Clan has always been the Beast King's henchmen, so be careful." With that, Leopard left.
"Do you want to go back and take a look?" Luo Fan wrote down a few words.
"Yes, I want to know if any of my people are still alive," Ahri answered earnestly. She had been having a great time lately, and she had even learned some fire magic.
"Then you should work harder too. It will be very dangerous to cross the Monster Forest without the strength."
"I know, thank you, Brother Fan!" Ah Li happily hugged her owner on the table and gave her a sweet kiss. During their time together, neither of her owners had bullied her, which made her feel very safe.
In the next room, Tissee and Tifa were reporting recent intelligence to Ellie and Emil.
Because of the sudden surge in popularity of the Ice Water Dungeon, many adventurers and mercenary groups are now going there for training. Conversely, the nearby dungeons have seen a significant decrease in visitors.
The hype surrounding "magic milk" has died down, and many merchants have already left the market.
The caravan within the group has begun preparations, and some members will accompany Uncle Arthur to the capital to assess the situation.
Also, the mercenary group has been upgraded to level 2, and the guild has given it special treatment, since the mercenary group's strength on paper has already exceeded expectations.
"Aili, thank you!" Emil took the plan to go to the capital very seriously.
She'll be going there soon; staying here will only limit her growth. Angela will also be transferring, and all her friends have advanced, making her feel a sense of crisis, especially since Lis has caught up as well.
"Of course. Sister Emil, I might go there in a while, and then we can go to the dungeon together!"
"OK!"
"By the way, Ellie, Anna wants you to find some time to go and discuss the benefits of upgrading the mercenary group," Tisset reminded her.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
Luo Fan had no idea that Huo Yu would be leaving soon, and he stayed downstairs with them to eat dessert.
Little foodie Ziyu was overjoyed, lingering over all the sweet treats. Luo Fan was even a little worried about how her tiny frame could possibly eat food several times her size.
"Luo Fan, let's go to the guild!"
"Going to conquer dungeons again? I love that!"
"Hehe, even if you wanted to go, Anna wouldn't agree."
"But isn't the Ice Water Underground City doing very well now? It's much more prosperous than before."
"Then it introduced some kind of reclusive family, which I had never heard of before. And that Frost Witch."
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, she's locked up with your mother, and she's probably an old witch too!"
"You bastard! Don't you dare talk about my mother like that!" Ellie grabbed one of Luo Fan's clones and hurriedly left.
Emil stayed behind to continue researching how to stabilize production. With Ellie and Lovan no longer around to provide guidance, she needed to quickly familiarize herself with all the operations to prevent any further production problems.
At the guild entrance, Ellie ran into Hans again, who was as arrogant as ever.
