"His head is full of weird ideas. I don't know what he's up to." Merinsera shook her head. Naifei looked around and whispered, "Should we go and have a look? I want to see it, but I'm afraid that Mom will say something … "
"Your mom really cares about everything. Roddy doesn't even know any advanced spells. What else can he do?"
Merinsera rolled her eyes. She had always thought that Roddy was not good at spells, so the things he came up with must not be very technical. Therefore, she didn't want to see it. In her eyes, "paper making" and "movable type printing" were very simple things that were not as technical as advanced spells.
But … there were some unexpected surprises when these things were put to use.
Merinsera was actually quite curious about what new things Roddy would come up with. Naifei's words immediately gave her a reason to step down. She coughed and raised her hand. "But I have nothing to do today, so I don't mind going with you."
"Okay! Okay!"
Naifei's eyes were full of slyness. She followed Merinsera downstairs with light steps. The middle floor of the Magic Tower was the laboratory of the research department, which was not open to outsiders. However, the people around them pretended not to see Merinsera and Naifei. After all, one was the daughter of the "Guardian", and the other was a senior sorcerer who fought side by side with Roddy. They were powerful and influential, so it would be suicidal to chase them away …
The research on the "preservative can" was almost finished. There were many rows of canned fruits in the comparison group. The canned fruits in the front smelled pretty good. Naifei curiously moved closer and asked, "I heard that this can prolong the storage time of food. Are they saving it for winter?"
"I think they're eating it at sea." Merinsera was very knowledgeable. She picked up the can and had a look. "Ships usually don't dock for several months, so the food of the sailors and crew is usually very bad. I remember there is a story that sailors only eat biscuits at night. They don't eat them during the day."
"Why? Is there anything special at night? "
Naifei really didn't know. What a strange * * *.
A mischievous smile appeared on Merinsera's face as she said, "That's because those biscuits are as hard as rocks, and some of them have been there for many years, so they're always full of maggots. We eat them at night so that we can't see them, so we can't worry about them. Just take a few bites to get rid of the maggots, and then stuff the rest into our mouths regardless of whether there are any."
"Urgh …"
Naifei was so scared that her beautiful face turned pale. She turned around and covered her mouth. It took her a long time to recover. Merinsala laughed out loud. She had lived for so long, how could she not know what this little girl was thinking? However, Naifei wasn't harboring evil intentions. She was happy to tease the little girl.
Naifei patted her chest and knew that she was no match for Roddy. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother Roddy is probably afraid that we won't have anything good to eat on the ship, so he developed this kind of thing."
"Roddy is quite ambitious. With these cans of food, whether it's wilderness exploration or long-distance navigation, the survival rate of ordinary people will be greatly increased. He wants to explore deeper and wider seas."
Merinsera sighed inwardly. To be honest, in her eyes, canned food didn't require much technology. However, because of its "low technology", it could be quickly popularized and applied, so that more people could experience the changes it brought. It was the same with paper and printing, and it was also the same with canned food … Thinking of this, she seemed to understand why Roddy did this kind of research.
Research that could benefit the whole city and even the whole country was truly outstanding research.
The two of them curiously walked past some of the research labs, from the smelting of various kinds of metals to the research on a kind of soil that could be used as a binding agent. They seemed to be able to see the tip of the iceberg of Roddy's ambition.
When they arrived at the "automobile" research department, the prototype with the wooden shell immediately attracted their attention.
The wooden shell was handmade by the best carpenters in Eiffel, and it had a very amazing curve. Although the "prototype" had a three-wheeled structure, the body plan was designed by Roddy to look like a formula car. It had low wind resistance, a low cockpit, and exposed tires.
From the side, the "prototype" had a very typical shape of an F1 car, and the large rear wing was the standard feature of an advanced racing car. The wooden shell was brushed with several layers of tung oil, and it was polished until it was shiny. The sparrow-eye wood grain on it was extremely gorgeous.
Merinsera and Naifei didn't expect that Roddy could come up with such an artistic thing. The two of them were mesmerized for a moment. After all, this thing was unprecedented, and it was a product that surpassed the times. It made people feel an inexplicable sense of awe.
When Naifei saw the leather sports seat in the cabin, her eyes lit up. She looked around and asked the nervous researcher beside her, who was afraid that they would damage something, "Is this for sitting? Can I sit in it? "
"Of course you can, but don't press those buttons. That will activate the magic circle, and the car will run away …"
Naifei wasn't a naughty child. Although she was an eccentric girl, she wouldn't dare to cause trouble. After asking seriously a few times, she carefully lifted her skirt and sat on the seat. Merinsera, who was watching the car sink, raised her eyebrows. She had never seen a carriage with shock absorbers and suspension. She reached out her hand to press the body of the carriage, and found that the body of the carriage, which was parked on the ground, actually swayed when she exerted force.
"This design is interesting …"
She knew that this design meant that the carriage could filter out a lot of vibrations and bumps. However, she felt that the magic wave was very familiar. She walked to the rear wheel and looked down. She immediately exclaimed, "Cobalt gold? This prodigal Roddy used so much cobalt gold to make a carriage! "
The researcher beside her was sweating. He wanted to explain that it was Roddy's order, but after thinking that it wouldn't be good for either side, he decided to keep quiet.
Naifei was holding on to the handlebars and looking left and right. When she heard Merinsera's exclamation, she turned around and smiled. "Isn't 'prodigal' something Sister Akasha would say?"
"Come on, Akasha doesn't care how much money Roddy spent. This kind of thing should be your mother's concern."
The little girl was clearly a far cry from Merinsala's, and she immediately gave a mischievous chuckle as she said, "Big Brother Roddy must have a reason for doing this. I think … he's probably trying to scam someone again, so he's doing this on purpose."
"Tsk, you really know him. This guy is full of evil tricks. Those who want to take advantage of him usually end up in a miserable state. "
Both of them were deeply touched by this topic, and they immediately laughed out loud. Naifei touched the smooth body of the carriage and joked, "Big Brother Roddy has only been out for a week, and I heard that the Viper Cross and the royal family are in a miserable state. Poor emperor, I guess he still doesn't understand why he was taken advantage of."
"Charles II? If you ask me, I think it's enough for him to be an idle noble lord. Conquering someone needs to be done by someone with brains. "
One was an old man who had lived for thousands of years, and the other was a fifteen-year-old little loli. The two of them were talking about the same topic without any awkwardness. This strange scene made Camilla, who was on the other side of the city, not know whether to laugh or cry. However, when she thought about what they were talking about, she felt like joining in the discussion.
That guy really seemed to have some kind of strange magic power.
*****
In the Cullen Palace, Emperor Charles II, who was being discussed by Merinsera and Naifei, was indeed a little confused.
What happened to attacking Eiffta?
What happened to conquering the outer city in a month?
The menu for the celebration banquet had already been finalized. Why did someone suddenly come and tell him that the army was defeated?
It was one thing for the legion to collapse, but it was not because of the attack on Eiffta, but because of the attack on the Holy Cathedral. Charles II wanted to look through the attachment of the order he had given … Did he order Milnor to attack the Rose Cross because he had too much to drink?
"Duweiden, are you saying that all of this was caused by Milnor's mistake? I can't figure out what kind of mistake could make his army change its route and charge into the city of the 'Holy Cathedral'? "
Until now, the 'Cullen Era' had not appeared in the palace, so Charles II's intelligence source was basically the sporadic feedback from the frontline. His intelligence system was far inferior to the 'Cullen Era'. Until now, he didn't even know that the pope was heavily injured and the two elders of the Viper Cross were killed by Roddy.
To put it bluntly, this was a barrier that Milnor had set up to achieve his own goals. When he was in power, no one dared to expose this fact. However, now that his army was defeated, Earl Duweiden immediately seized the opportunity to overthrow him!
"Your Majesty, the specific information about the war is very clear. Actually … Lord Milnor has concealed a lot of things."
Logically speaking, he shouldn't expose Earl Duweiden's shortcomings directly. He should at least have a confidant to start the conversation. However, Earl Duweiden had just joined the core circle and was considered a lone figure among the nobles in the hall. There was no ally who was willing to be the vanguard for him, so he had to personally take all the 'Cullen Era' newspapers that had been published so far and raise them in front of Charles II with both hands.
"What … is this?"
Charles II reached out and took the newspapers. He looked around and found that the nobles who usually had different expressions on their faces all lowered their heads. This made him feel that something was wrong.
