Chapter 126 You Live in the Childhood Chapter
"Huh, now I know too!" It was another joint training class, and Lucas came up to Lilith and proudly showed off that he already knew the situation.
“…It’s not something to be happy about.” Lilith slashed at Lucas speechlessly.
"So is there anything to drink at noon, Lilith? Even if there's no milk tea, ice is fine. My throat is about to smoke." Lucas backed away while holding up his sword to block, complaining all the time.
Lilith's attacking momentum was temporarily sluggish, and Lucas found an opportunity to counterattack, and the two reversed their offensive.
"No, everyone is too busy to do it. How come you don't care at all, Lucas..." Lilith admired Lucas's heartlessness.
"Oh, you mean Ian?" After repelling Lilith, Lucas spun the sword in his hand and shrugged nonchalantly, "Killing is better than being killed. You are living in a fairy tale, little Lilith."
"What do you mean?" Lilith stopped the sword in her hand.
"Does it count as murder only when you do it yourself?" Lucas also stopped and sneered, "Then the throne of Bishop was cast on the blood and flesh of so many people? Are the hands of your royal girlfriend absolutely clean? Oh, do you think she cares about Ian's affairs?"
Lilith frowned. "That's just your speculation, Lucas. I know you don't like Catherine..."
"Haha, maybe. If one day, she also becomes a politician who is decisive in killing people, I hope you will still firmly defend the justice in your heart like today." Lucas' eyes were dim under the cover of protective gear, revealing a detachment that was not in line with his age, as if he had seen through everything. "You are just not used to facing death, Lilith. Violence is an extremely useful means that can quickly solve many problems. Otherwise, why did you pick up the sword now? When you picked it up, didn't you think that it was a weapon for killing people?"
"I..." Lilith was stunned for a moment when she was asked.
"Dang——dang——dang——"
The heavy and melodious bell rang on the hour, echoing in the sky of the entire Goletia City. After hearing it, Lucas immediately cheered with everyone else and began to remove his protective gear quickly.
"The get out of class is finally over. Remember to save me a drink, Lilith! Hey, Ian! Which cafeteria are we going to for lunch?" After saying hello, Lucas ran towards Ian, hooked his arm around Ian's shoulder without any hesitation, and talked to the silent classmate and walked away together.
Lilith watched them walk away before she slowly took off her protective gear and walked towards the cafeteria.
……
The leaves slowly began to turn yellow, and autumn quietly arrived while everyone was busy with their own things. Catherine and everyone were always busy with new activities of the Student Union, while Lilith was running between the school and the winery.
"Bella, you don't like to go home now. Oh, it turns out that children like to run outside when they grow up." Lilith and Bella were eating breakfast with emotion on their faces. It was rare for the two to meet alone now.
"Hehe, it's very lively in the winery. Sometimes it's too late and I'm too lazy to run back." Bella smiled embarrassedly, "Everyone is very friendly. Sometimes when I get stuck on a question, they help me think of the algorithm together. Miss, I think Nancy is also very good at math! She always calculates very quickly."
"Really? That's great. You can ask her if she's willing to continue studying on weekends. I'll pay her tuition." Lilith took a bite of bread and said casually.
"Okay." Bella nodded happily. She was finally not the only one who had to go to cram school on the weekend! "Also, our wine sales have slowed down recently, and the aging room is finally starting to have stock."
"This is normal. There will be more orders in the early stage. Now they all have the goods, and it takes time to digest them, especially for merchants from other places. It takes a long time to go back and forth."
"Everyone is very motivated. If this continues, the aging room will be full." Bella was worried about the problem of a margin call.
"You can put it in the raw material room. Don't worry, Bella. Our wine has a long storage period." Lilith comforted Bella while thinking about where to expand new sales channels. Now, the only people who come to buy wine are local taverns and merchants from Highgarden, but for Lilith, it is not enough. It is still far from becoming bigger and stronger.
Bella went out first after breakfast. As she absorbed more knowledge, she gradually found some fun in learning. She could almost immediately apply the math knowledge she learned every day to her work. This feeling made her happy, and she finally no longer went out with a sad face every day.
Lilith enjoyed a leisurely breakfast time alone, then used the cleaning technique to tidy up the kitchen before going out.
……
"Hmph, you still remember to come." Antonio, the grocery store owner, couldn't help but snort when he saw Lilith.
"Hey, sorry, teacher. There are so many things to do in the new semester." Lilith didn't care about Antonio's attitude at all. Instead, she smiled and walked over to him. "The things I ordered should have arrived, right?"
"It's been over a month since you came to pick it up. You're taking up my warehouse. If you do this again, I'll—"
"Hey, teacher, I brought you some sorghum wine soaked with blood ginseng." Lilith smiled and took out two small barrels of wine from her ring, put them on the cabinet and pushed them over. "It's specially made for you, it has a different flavor."
"——I have to make room as soon as possible." Antonio's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his arms to take the two barrels of wine, cherishing them as if they were his own children. Then he looked at Lilith, "Ahem, come with me to the back to get them."
After passing through rows of black containers, Lilith followed Antonio into a small wooden door and arrived at Antonio's warehouse. Although there were no windows here, it was clean, bright and very spacious. Lilith guessed that some kind of space magic must have been used here. Among a pile of goods, the items customized by Lilith were placed in the front very conspicuously.
The nearly three-meter-high distillation tower stands tall. It is made entirely of metal and is silver-white in color. Various pipes, valves, and instruments are connected to the front. The condenser on the top of the tower is sparkling, as if it is coated with some anti-rust material.
This set of equipment is an evolved version after Lilith drew the blueprints again based on her experience in using the distillation equipment she customized last time. It is not only more efficient but also does not require magic stones. It is a civilian version suitable for future production increases.
"It's amazing..." Lilith stroked this large, modern equipment with amazement in her eyes.
"Sha—of course." Antonio couldn't help but secretly pour himself a glass of wine and took a sip, sucking in a breath of cold air because of the spiciness. "The craftsmanship of the dwarves is beyond reproach, and they are full of imagination. Almost all the large weapons during the holy war were provided by them. These little gadgets of yours are just toys to them. Not only that, their construction skills are also unique. They participated in the early construction of Goletia and Highgarden."
"Oh..." Lilith touched her money-making tools with satisfaction and suddenly asked, "Teacher, do you think they are still accepting construction jobs?"
"Burp--huh?!" Antonio burped when he heard that.
