Chapter 16 - Chapter 16. 250k enchantment cores

Watching my lord, who didn't hesitate to spend money on me, I feel warm and happy.

I saw him visiting the walls, maybe to boost the morales of the troops from time to time.

Everyone loves him, there's Benny, who makes sure everyone eats to their fill and doesn't slack off.

I walked into the laboratory which had a splendid sponsorship of 1m gold coins.

Honestly, I couldn't even figure out how to spend this many. If my master didn't suggest ideas, I would still be blind.

"Barn, the new elven potions are ready. We need new testing areas to figure it out."

A girl clad in white walked towards me.

She's my master, she was also the one who helped me in completing the first elven potions.

I don't really know why she is here but, the sense of security I get when I'm with her is more than enough to numb my brain.

Holding the potions she handed over, I could see at a glace that it even is more potent than the previous one.

"I'm so happy, my lords definitely going to love this new one."

"Barns, don't slack off on finding more ideas for the walls. Your lord seems more like a wall guy to me."

I processed her words for a while but then, my master isn't wrong.

Was the rumors true? I heard that apparently there's plans to surround the areas with walls, 4,5,6,7,8,9 and even a 10th wall.

I wanted to say that, it was all a joke but flashback to when I send news that we could upgrade the walls, he approved of funding without a question.

Maybe he knew about the research already, he's a god. He makes things appear out of thin air, no good thinking about all this stuffs.

It seems I've been lost in thought for a while, my master already left.

I entered the ground floors, I've recently hired near hundred people for the research.

Everyone here is an innovative alchemist, despite me being the boss, everyone here only listens to master.

As expected, money can hire them but talent does the talking.

I went through the whole 8 floors and listened to the reports and mesh them up and now I'm headed towards my lord.

My lord is a mysterious being, he never dropped his name. He makes things appear out of thin air and I recall Benny bragging about how my lord once said "I have too many of this earthly goods."

That's so badass! He act like he doesn't care but my lord takes care of everyone.

I want to do everything to help him as well.

I remember barging in twice before, now I'm more matured.

If it was any other noble, I'm sure my head would have been rolling on the ground since day 1.

I gave a gentle knock and heard my lord granting me permission to walk in.

As I entered the room, my lord is there, with a pen and a paper.

It seems like simple calculation, a brief glimpse and I could see some numbers written on the paper.

'5588+30/100*5588' and on the side 250,020 written.

I wonder what he's calculating, I wish I could help but it seems preposterous of me so I retracted my eyes.

"My lord, we've upgraded the elven potions. With this, all troops, regardless of talent or not, can become elfs."

And sure enough, like my master has predicted... He doesn't look that thrill enough.

My lord kept staring at the roof for a while. I wonder what he's thinking about.

He turned his eyes on me a few seconds after and said, "Wait, you said you had something that makes an item get +10% efficiency right?

How much does it cost? Here's 250k magic cores, enchant all this here, alright?"

Fu- I nearly lost my footing.

My lord casually drops the most outrageous request in the most casual tone after all.
