Enchantment
In the afternoon, Leopold came as expected.
In fact, he was already late. The six-day holiday ended yesterday, and today was the first day of normal classes. Leopold should have come in the morning, but he didn't show up until the afternoon.
"The long vacation is over. Did you have fun?" Leopold asked with a smile.
Long? How long? It's only 6 days. It's not summer vacation.
Elena almost complained out loud, but her intuition told her that Leopold was smiling with a knife hidden in his heart, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "I'm not playing at all. I'm busy every day. I'm almost exhausted. Teacher, listen to me, I've repaired the roads in the territory and added several main roads. Also, a village was invaded by fire wolves and the whole village was burned down. Also, five villages have been plagued by insects. They are double-necked beetles. After the insects are eliminated, we have to prevent floods. And..."
Leopold didn't want to listen at all. Just hearing about these trivial matters in the territory gave him a headache. He raised his hand to stop, "Alright, no more wasting time. Let's get to class. Today we're going to have an enchantment class on how to perform advanced enchantments on items."
Leopold took out his new wizard robes: "I will use my wizard robes to demonstrate to you."
Elena sensibly took out the magic gems, which were all nominated by Leopold before.
Picking up the magic gem, Leopold enchanted the wizard robe while explaining the steps to Elena. He explained each step and each key point in detail without hiding anything.
Elena took notes seriously.
After successfully enchanting the wizard robe, Leopold said to Elena, "Did you understand all the steps? If so, go get a magic gem and try enchanting it yourself. No matter how much you write, it's better to do it yourself. Doing it yourself is the most important skill."
Elena nodded obediently and picked up the low-level magic gem she had prepared.
She had already thought about and prepared what to make for today's enchantment class.
Leopold watched as Elena took out an iron disc, then another iron disc, and then a long roll of silver wire from the space ring.
"What is this? What are you going to do?" Leopold asked curiously.
Elena smiled slightly, with a little pride that could not be concealed: "Magic Magnetic Furnace."
She planned to make a magic version of the induction cooker, which could be used directly in the kitchen. This would make cooking in the kitchen more convenient, and it would also be convenient for her to have a midnight snack, killing two birds with one stone.
She is such a clever little girl who is thrifty and manages the household well.
Elena first tightly coiled the silver wire into circles of mosquito coils, and then spliced the two iron discs and the silver mosquito coils together.
The appearance of the magic magnetic furnace has been completed. The next step is the most critical enchantment, which is to install a stable and safe "power supply" for the magic magnetic furnace.
The fire gems were placed one by one, step by step, link by link, Elena once again showed Leopold the powerful talent of all magic and double S systems, and the enchantment process went very smoothly.
It is an excellent example of "learning quickly and showing off in no time".
Leopold was so annoyed that he didn't want to teach her anymore.
"Okay, that's all for today's class. get out of class dismissed." Leopold packed up and left.
It's annoying and disgusting to watch.
Elena bids farewell to the teacher.
After seeing off Teacher Leopold, Elena took out her pocket watch and looked at it. Well, it was only 4 o'clock, and it was still early. Why not take advantage of this free time to go and see the results of the great oriole's insect extermination?
Elena was very tempted, so she cast a wind spell and flew to the five villages.
Looking from high above, Elena didn't see anything. She just saw birds and insects flying everywhere, and the villagers below waving nets to catch insects. It was a busy scene.
Or, should we wait and see tomorrow?
Elena felt that if she went down now, it would probably disrupt their insect extermination plan.
She'd better not cause trouble.
After turning around and flying back to the Viscount's Mansion, Elena picked up a magazine to pass the time until a faint glow appeared on the horizon and Leonard returned.
"They like the fabric you sent them very much. It's winter now and the weather is cold. Although it doesn't snow in Padres Prairie in winter, it's still quite cold. It's time to add more clothes. The fabric you sent them is just right for making new clothes." Leonard said with a smile.
"As long as they like it." Elena thought for a moment and then said, "Next time, ask them what kind of fabric they prefer, patterned? Plain? What color? Or if they want something else, like sauces, vegetables, fruits, etc. I'll prepare what they need, so it will be more appropriate."
These words reminded Leonard, and he nodded and said, "You're right. Next time, I'll let them make a list themselves, and I'll purchase it for them. Now that we have the teleportation scroll, it will be much easier to transport the goods back."
In the past, Shulin Village had no location point, and people had to run to get back and forth. This was because Leonard and his father were knights, not mages, and they didn't know how to refine location points. If they asked their mage friends to refine location points, they would have to trouble them to make teleportation scrolls, because they needed a set to use. Leonard's father didn't want to trouble his friends, so he just ran all the time. As for Leonard, he was simply used to running and never thought of using teleportation scrolls.
"You can deduct the money for the teleportation scroll directly from my pharmacy's profits." Leonard said to Elena.
Elena: "No, we are friends..."
Leonard interrupted her: "Because we are friends, I can't take advantage of you. Listen to me and deduct it from the dividends."
Elena wanted to say more, but seeing the determination in Leonard's eyes, she could only nod: "Okay."
Leonard smiled: "Okay, it's time for dinner, let's go eat."
The next day, Elena, who was preoccupied with the pest control issue, planned to go take another look after breakfast, and Leonard naturally went with her.
When they arrived at the area where the insect infestation occurred, Elena was a little anxious because she still couldn't see much results from the pest control.
"Is it possible? Can such a small number of finches eat all these beetles? Do we need to catch some more?" Elena asked Leonard.
Leonard began to persuade her, "Don't worry, just wait a day. There are so many bugs now, so of course you might think there aren't enough finches. But once the bugs are gone, the finches will be too numerous and affect the other birds. That's what you mean by balance."
"It's ecologically balanced." Elena puffed her cheeks. "But if it takes too long to take effect, all the crops in the fields will be eaten up."
Elena landed on the ground and bent down to check the plants on the ground.
There are still many diplodocids lying on the crops in the field and the surrounding grass and trees, and each one is fat and well-fed.
Elena couldn't help but get angry, and reached out to burn these damn pests to death, one after another.
Let you eat, let you eat, let you eat.
Two people flew down from the sky. It was such a conspicuous sight that the villagers had already seen it. The village chief hurried over.
The village chief was a very capable runner, and soon he was close by, a big smile on his face. "My Lady, the bird you brought is amazing! It's very good at catching insects, and it's a big eater!"
The village chief spoke and gestured at the same time, fearing that his words were not standard enough and could not fully express his joy at the moment.
Elena thought the village chief was flattering her, and her expression turned a little unhappy.
She pointed to the crops nearby and said, "There are so many diplodocid insects in the fields. Do you really think these birds are useful?"
She now feels that the great finches are useless, so she can't stand hearing others praise them. She thinks the village chief is just flattering her because she brought the great finches here, and the village chief only praises the great finches because of her lordship and power. Maybe he is still complaining about her being stupid behind her back.
The village chief didn't know what he said wrong and licked his lips nervously: "But, but it's less than yesterday." His voice became a little weak and low.
Elena became even angrier, but Leonard held her back.
"Okay, don't be so anxious. Look somewhere else. There might be too many bugs here, so it's not obvious. The situation in other villages might be better."
After Leonard's repeated persuasion, Elena finally let go of the scolding village chief and flew to the next village with Leonard.
After visiting the other four villages in a row, Elena finally saw the results of the pest control. In the last village she visited, the number of beetles had indeed decreased significantly.
"We released the giant oriole just the day before yesterday. It's only been two days now. No, strictly speaking, it's less than two days. It's already very good to have such a result. Don't worry. I estimate that in two days, the beetles will be almost all eaten." Leonard persuaded Elena gently.
Knowing that she had lost her temper before, Elena felt a little embarrassed: "Uh, should I give some compensation to the village chief? I scolded him by mistake just now."
Leonard: "That's not necessary. You just scolded him and didn't punish him. Why do you need compensation?"
"But, but," Elena lowered her head and twisted her fingers, "After all, I was wrong. I did something wrong and I feel bad if you don't apologize or make up for it."
Although Elena is a rebellious girl, she is not really a bad kid. Her rebellion is more due to her self-protection. Because the outside world is too unfriendly to her, she uses rebellion to show that she is not easy to mess with. However, when the external environment becomes better, the thorns in her heart naturally become soft, and she is willing to show her friendliness.
After shedding her hard shell, she unknowingly became kind.
Leonard looked at the anxious little girl with her head down, and his heart softened.
She is a true lady with the virtues of kindness and self-reflection.
So cute.
Leonard said: "If you really want to make amends..."
Elena raised her head and looked at him with her big eyes.
Leonard smiled. "Just leave the feeding of the finch to him. He'll be happy."
Yes, Elena was reminded that after the great finches had eaten all the beetles, they would need to be fed with food so that they would stay for a long time. Someone had to be responsible for this matter, and it was quite appropriate to hand it over to the village chief as a task. It was not a direct apology or compensation, nor did it undermine her dignity as a lord, but it also expressed her trust in him. Well, it was very appropriate.
Elena nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are right, I will listen to you."
Seeing how obedient she was, Leonard's hands started to itch again.
A big hand covered Elena's head, rubbed it quickly twice, and left.
Elena was stunned by the rubbing, and then she reacted and chased Leonard to beat him.
Leonard had already taken off running with his long legs, and he turned around and teased her as he ran: "Come on, come on, you can't hit me."
Elena: "Just wait!"
After running around and making a lot of noise, the two of them went crazy, but in the end they still took their image into consideration and flew the last leg of the journey back to the Viscount's Mansion.
Worried that something might be missed, Elena flipped through her briefcase out of habit and saw the to-do item: water conservancy construction.
Well, this matter needs to be put on the agenda.
