Chapter 306: The Fountain of Youth is included in military supplies
Rachel Angelo is a strong man like a lion.
Everyone who has seen him will be impressed by his fluffy red hair, which is as thick as a lion's mane. Coupled with his sturdy physique, many people subconsciously ignore his eighty-year-old age.
This iron-blooded lion has spent forty years on the frontier, guarding the border for the empire and gaining a great reputation.
Originally, there was a buffer zone between the Unholy Hymn and Lion, where various races lived, such as goblins, undead, lizardmen and gnolls.
Tieflings used these races as shields to isolate themselves from Llane.
But since Rachel Angelo took over the position of mayor of Liuyan City, these races were almost killed by him.
The huge goblin tribe numbering over ten thousand was trampled into bloody mud by Rachel Angelo's cavalry. The legendary goblin warlock was chopped off his head by Rachel Angelo and it is still hanging in his bedroom.
Rachel Angelo's strength is also one of the reasons why the tieflings are wary of Ryan. All tieflings know that if this iron-blooded general launches an attack, the tieflings will be in danger of being exterminated.
Therefore, more gates of hell are imperative, and they would rather be killed by the gods than be slaughtered by this terrible executioner.
The Gate of Hell caused the people of Ryan a lot of trouble. Once it was opened, the monsters from Hell would surge out. Hundreds of thousands of troops would pour out of the Gate of Hell in just one day. Even if Ryan attacked with all his strength, he would suffer heavy casualties.
This is what makes Rachel Angelo angry the most. His lifelong dream is to conquer a kingdom. The battle in the desert was inexplicable. The dwarves were too weak in the early stage, and the reckless attack of the Silver Moon Knights later caused heavy losses. It was really frustrating for him to clean up the mess.
Later, when the Silver Moon Knight died during the expedition against the orcs, Ryan simply suspended the attack. When Rachel Angelo received the battle report, she cursed: "What a bunch of idiots! Silver Moon is dead, and Ryan didn't rely on him alone to gain prestige! The city was captured with the lives of my Ryan soldiers, and you just throw it away?! A bunch of stupid and corrupt bureaucrats!"
However, Rachel Angelo has been in a good mood recently, because news came from the imperial capital asking him to train his troops and prepare to receive a large amount of war supplies, including food, medicine, weapons and equipment, etc.
Rachel Angelo understood at a glance that a war was about to begin, and an attack was about to be launched against the descendants of the hell demons.
This time it won’t be a small fight, it will be like the battle in the desert, a war to destroy a country!
Rachel Angelo was very happy that he could finally fight a war to destroy a country before he died. It was worth it for all his efforts to fulfill his oath, and the time had finally come to realize his dream.
Ryan's system and culture are the best among all the countries on the continent, and humans are the most superior race. Humans should become the masters of this continent and let the light of the Lord of Dawn shine on every inch of land.
Conquest is to spread faith, which is the greatest devotion of believers to the gods! It's a pity that Rachel Angelo has never felt the oracle of the Lord of Dawn. Even when he was promoted to Legend, the Lord of Dawn never glanced at him.
Rachel Angelo believed that it was because she had not fulfilled her oath that the Lord of Dawn was disappointed in her.
Now, it's time to fulfill your vow!
Rachel Angelou was so excited that she patrolled the city more frequently every day.
As a result, a strange thing happened today. A noble from the dwarves was teleported to Liuyan City.
It was said that an accident occurred during the transmission, and the space distortion caused them to appear in Liuyan City instead of going to the Unholy Song.
Rachel Angelo didn't believe it at first. If it was so easy to forcibly teleport into the city, then what was the point of the defensive magic circle? If they could just teleport some explosives or poison in, there would be no point in defending Liuyan City.
But after interrogation, it was confirmed that this was the fact.
When asking the priests who were in charge of the city defense magic circle, they got a ridiculous answer.
The magic circle of Liuyan City can only defend against directional forced teleportation. That is to say, if it detects that someone is trying to forcibly break through the space blockade, the magic circle will automatically take effect and block this teleportation.
But if it is non-directional and just a random teleportation, then the magic circle will not work.
The chance of a transmission failure resulting in a positioning error appearing directly in the city is extremely rare, and may not occur once in a hundred years.
It is impossible for Ryan to increase the cost of the city defense magic circle by more than ten times for such a low-probability event, which will also affect the operation of other defense functions.
Rachel Angelo didn't know much about magic, but he believed that his subordinates would not make a mistake, and this teleportation was really just a misunderstanding.
The subordinate hurriedly asked: "General, what should we do with the nobleman imprisoned in the cell?"
"Thoroughly investigate his business partners. If they have any connection with anyone on the wanted list, kill them directly. If not, let his family pay the fine. He entered Ryan illegally and should be fined accordingly. All his goods should be confiscated..." At this point, Rachel Angelo asked, "By the way, what's on the carriage? The packaging is quite exquisite."
The subordinate quickly replied, "It's the Fountain of Youth, a new type of youth potion that has emerged recently."
"Youth potion? That much?!"
Rachel Angelo was shocked. A bottle of youth potion was worth nearly 500,000 gold coins. How much was this carriage worth? Even Rachel Angelo was shocked by this number. The youth potion in this carriage was almost equivalent to Liuyan City's five-year military expenditure.
The subordinate quickly explained: "General, this is not a complete version of the youth potion. I heard that it does not have a real life-extending effect. It can only restore youth for a few days, and once the effect wears off, it will return to its original state."
"So this is a trick created by an alchemist... Wait, when you said rejuvenation, do you mean just the appearance?"
Rachel Angelou suddenly became a little excited and sat up.
"This... I'm not sure, but I heard that the drug can completely restore youth during its duration. Those nobles use it as a drug, so it should be more than just a change in appearance."
Rachel Angelo said quickly: "Go check, and then send these fountains of youth to me!"
Watching his subordinates leave quickly, Rachel Angelo paced back and forth in his office a little anxiously.
He hoped that the effect of the Fountain of Youth was real and could really restore people to their youthful state in a short period of time.
The Ryan Empire does not allow the use of youth potions to prolong life, this is an iron rule.
Once discovered, all property will be confiscated, the main culprit will be sentenced to death, and the entire family will be exiled.
Even with such prestige as the Silver Moon Knight, he could only accept the burden brought by the years and eventually died of old age on the battlefield.
"If we could give him a bottle of this fountain of youth, the orc kingdom would have been destroyed long ago!"
Although Rachel Angelo looked down on Silver Moon Knight, a reckless man who could only swing a sword and had no command ability, he had to admit that Silver Moon Knight was already beyond common sense. If he was restored to youth, even for just a few days, the legends of the Orc Kingdom would just be sending him to death.
It's a pity that he is already dead.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But this fountain of youth is still useful.
Rachel Angelou was very excited. The Fountain of Youth could only temporarily return to the peak state, but it had no effect on prolonging life, so using it would not violate the rules.
Rachel Angelo herself is eighty years old, and her energy is no match for her younger self, but her current combat experience is also not comparable to that of her younger self.
If he were to go back to his youth, he would become the nightmare of all his enemies.
Most of Ryan's legends were over 60 years old. If everyone could drink a bottle before going to the battlefield, how much stronger would their fighting power become? Why didn't he know about this good thing?
I think it has something to do with Ryan's rules. Things related to restoring youth are taboos in Ryan, and most people don't even mention it.
I didn't expect that I almost missed out on something so good.
After a while, the carriage of the Fountain of Youth was delivered to Rachel Angelo.
The bottle is the size of a palm, and the potion inside is as bright as the starry sky.
"It's so beautiful, how much is this bottle of the fountain of youth?" Rachel Angelo asked.
"It seems to be at least 2,000 gold coins. I have asked someone about it. This potion can indeed restore the body's functions. This is the lowest-end type, and the effect can only last about three days. There are also high-end fountains of youth, which can last up to ten days."
Rachel Angelou held the medicine bottle, reluctant to let it go, and asked again, "Are there any side effects?"
The subordinate replied, "I haven't heard of any side effects yet, but after the effect of each bottle of medicine wears off, you can't take it again for at least a month, otherwise you will experience diarrhea and dizziness."
Rachel Angelou hesitated, then ordered, "Go, bring me a prisoner, an old one."
A few minutes later, a hunchbacked old man was brought to Rachel Angelo. Without asking what crime the man had committed, he poured the medicine from the bottle into his mouth.
After drinking a bottle of medicine, just a dozen seconds later, the wrinkled old man turned into a young man in his twenties or thirties.
Rachel Angelou's face was full of surprise, but she still observed cautiously for a while and asked someone to examine the criminal.
It was soon concluded that the man had completely recovered from the inside out to his youth, and no other abnormalities were found. Three days later, the effect of the medicine wore off, and the old man simply returned to his original state, without any abnormalities.
However, the priests of light who were in charge of the inspection did not notice that this disheveled old man had lost several white hairs in the past three days.
This is normal. How can hair loss be considered a side effect?
Even if someone saw it, they wouldn't think there was anything wrong. The prisoner was locked up in jail with no food, no water, and no water to take a bath. So losing hair was nothing. It was a sign of his strong vitality that he didn't die of illness.
The final report was that everything was normal and no side effects were found.
Rachel Angelo looked at the report and said excitedly, "Great! Great stuff! Write to the imperial capital right away and include this fountain of youth in military supplies purchases!"
Then he filled the bottle for himself, and Rachel Angelou wanted to experience the feeling of rejuvenation.
