Chapter 9: Ten Years Old

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The various chessboards under these grapevines were all created by Merlin using magic; otherwise, if they were to be made by hand, it would require an unimaginable amount of effort to polish them to this extent, whereas Merlin's magic can accomplish it in just one go

After giving him the ring, Meilin indicated that she had matters to attend to and left Kairal with the leather scroll for magical training. The following time was for his own practice, and when he returned the next day, Meilin had already disappeared

The woman was taken aback by her nephew's words and said, "What a joke! Do you think I would tell you that buying this item would help me build a good relationship with the young lord and gain favors?"

Recently, many valuable items have been discovered in Nottingham Forest, including a considerable amount of ginseng and he shou wu, with various other medicinal herbs also found in abundance. Kairal is quite diligent, gradually organizing the small cabin. One is guiding Cybo and the farmers in brewing wine at the estate, while the other is sorting through his treasures in the cabin. However, he has not returned to the castle much, which has caused Duke Andrei to grumble. Meanwhile, the Gauls have been prowling the seas again, leaving one to wonder whether they are testing Camelot or spying on Rome across the way.

The people who just made purchases have all left without a trace, leaving only this one person who walked slowly and stayed behind, while the crowd around them gathered closely.

Hello! Looking at the money from that cart just now, I estimate there are about two to three hundred silver coins

Suddenly, it became clear that England had very few alcoholic beverages; brandy and whiskey had not yet been produced. The only favorites of the Celts were gin and absinthe. As for the pirates' rum, the Celts did not favor it. Roman wine was good, but it was expensive and belonged to the enemy

However, this does not mean that Kairal was not surprised by Cyber's quick return. Humanity has always harbored fear towards new things. According to Kairal's speculation, it would take at least a day or two of waiting before anyone would dare to try it. Yet, on the very first day, everything was sold out, which undoubtedly exceeded Kairal's expectations

Two large carts filled to the brim with grapes are slowly drawn into the city by tall horses. The glistening purple grapes on the carts, resembling crystals, appear particularly enticing under the reflection of dew and sunlight.

Of course, the knights who had received the news long ago informed their families. Upon learning that this substance could not only be consumed but also used for brewing, the knights became more vigilant. Moreover, even if it could not be used for brewing, it could still be eaten and could serve as a favor to others

It is only now that I realize this plant can actually be used to brew wine; it turns out that Roman wine originated from here

Kailar did not pay much attention; Merlin was merely a passerby in his life. Having one more healing spell was neither a gain nor a loss. He went to Nottingham Forest purely to conceal secrets. For someone like him, if his true nature were to be exposed, it would be impossible to live a good life. Being burned alive was a real possibility.

Such matters entirely depend on timing; allowing them to learn may not necessarily yield better results than what we have accomplished. However, not giving them the opportunity does seem somewhat ungracious. " Kairal shook his head and neatly rolled up the parchment before handing it to Saibo: "Go ahead, let them each copy a version and then bring it back.

Hey, books, two or three times? It's only been a few days? Maybe three times a year, what do you think she earns?

These people no longer speak, their eyes glinting with a green light reminiscent of wolves.

Seeing Cyber leave early and return before noon, Kairal, who was sitting under the grape trellis enjoying the coolness, was taken aback: "Is it sold out so soon?"

Apart from this game of Go, Kairal has not touched the other boards, as Kairal's current perspective is limited to this one area; the remaining information is insufficient for making any strategic arrangements

Not to mention! Including the estate, he definitely earned more than two or three hundred!

However, this statement cannot be expressed openly; one can only show a face of impatience: "Buying this can be used to make wine, you know! Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used to make wine. It is not expensive at all."

When the guests arrive, other knights have this kind of thing at home for the guests to enjoy, but you do not. Where is your dignity

This game of chess lacks sufficient intelligence. Kairal shook his head, and after Cyber left, the pawn fell onto the stone chessboard beside him.

The cyber smile has a crooked nose and mouth. Although I know that this money does not belong to me, it is still owned by my master, who is a generous fellow. Surely, I will not be deprived of my share!

Upon entering the city, the families of the knights, who had received the news long ago, surrounded me, buying up all the grapes from the two carts, one silver coin from you, one silver coin from me, until nothing was left

... ... ''

The market for grapes is indeed not a concern, as the land in England is suitable for grape cultivation. The renowned brandy is made from grapes, and the British people have a distinct preference for the taste of grapes. Kairal cannot fathom the reason for the sluggish sales of grapes before their market purchasing power reaches its peak.

The intrigued public, upon deciding to make a purchase and looking back, found that the cyber had already departed in a horse-drawn carriage. At this moment, the crowd went into a frenzy

Sir! This is a significant profit! After being by Kairal's side for three months, I have learned most of Kairal's terminology. In a moment of urgency, Cyber couldn't care less about his demeanor and shouted while lying on the ground

Three months later

Thus, when these women departed, only a cart full of silver coins remained, estimated to be around one hundred pieces.

"Your Majesty..." murmured Kairal, touching the sapphire ring on his thumb. It is said that this sapphire ring possesses magical properties, capable of unleashing a defensive spell in times of danger. It was given to him by Merlin, and this sapphire ring is exceptionally beautiful, evidently crafted with great care by Merlin.

Thanks to someone with quick eyes and swift hands who stopped a woman about to leave. It seems the two are relatives: "Aunt, what are you buying this for?"

Yes. The cyber entity could only go like a wronged little wife, feeling aggrieved and reluctant.

The days passed slowly until the day Kairal turned ten

He must have spent a considerable amount of money; this is likely to yield two to three times the profit

He shook his head and picked up a roll of parchment: "Distribute this method of brewing to the knights."

The crowd was still in confusion, wondering how the load that had just been brought in had disappeared so quickly

Thus, Prince Andrei was momentarily unable to manage everything, which allowed Kairal to enjoy his freedom outside for quite some time

Hearing Cyber's detailed explanation, Kairal shook his head and smiled, "I didn't expect these guys to be so well-informed; I owe them a favor."
