Good news arrived from the front lines.

This was my first time using a purifying liquid, and the results were very good.

As planned in advance, the land where the purification solution was used quickly returned to its original state, and now all that was left was to see if ‘life’ could sprout on that land.

Although research has shown that it is possible to bear fruit on purified land, isn’t it possible that the results may be different in practice?

Considering that there were quite a few nobles who were behind the times and still distrusted purification liquid, it was something that could not be ignored, so it was necessary to keep a close eye on it.

However, I was confident about the purification liquid, so I wasn’t anxious at all.

‘Anyway, who made it?’

And the nobles who thought positively about the effectiveness of the purification liquid began to pool money to profit from it.

The first thing that jumped was real estate, and the next thing that started to jump was material prices.

The nobles went crazy due to the brisk economic boom.

In addition, the emperor even laid the groundwork for the nobles to run wild.

[The family that reclaimed the land by purifying the contaminated area will be given the right to use 50% of the purified land for 300 years!]

Although it was an order that came from the mouth of the emperor, since it was the nobles who moved the political world, it was probably an imperial order that was influenced by their influence.

In addition, they were giving the rights, but they didn’t mean they would use it for free, right?

‘The emperor wouldn’t have given such a hot order if there was no benefit.’

And this order from the emperor was something I welcomed.

In fact, there were too few personnel to clean up the entire contaminated area by sacrificing only soldiers.

A whopping 60% of the land was lost. How can this be recovered with only soldiers?

There was no solution unless the great nobles, who were particularly powerful among noble families, moved for their own benefit.

‘So it’s definitely not a bad situation for me. If we purify it ourselves, we will have the right to use 50% of the land.’

If the contaminated area could be reduced even a little, it didn’t matter who did it.

Whether you move for profit or for a noble cause.

The conclusion was that the contaminated area had been purified.

“It’s hot, it’s hot.”

And at the forefront, there has been such a huge change that each day is different, as if Bitcoin was booming.

It’s normal for buildings to be torn down and more fancy buildings to be built.

As foreigners who had never seen each other flocked in, money began to flow.

In the process, Erintina jumped around like a fish out of water.

Isn’t it natural for business to prosper as the number of people increases?

While Erintina was busy with frontline work.

I was concentrating on other things rather than top work.

“You’re finally ready.”

This was because we received news that Yul’s debut banquet, which was later than scheduled, was prepared.

I heard that Princess Mona was very satisfied with the items she received, and it seems like that’s why she became greedy.

They said they plan to make it bigger than planned and invite a variety of people.

The banquet hall was prepared and invitations were distributed to all attendees.

‘the problem is… .’

There was only one thing I wasn’t prepared for.

“eww… Ugh… .”

Yul, the main character of the party, had not yet finished preparing.

‘To be exact, I was scared.’

It seemed like she didn’t have the courage to attend the banquet prepared by Princess Mona.

It is very important for an alchemist to inform the world of his or her achievements.

So even though it was burdensome, I knew I would do well.

“No matter what, 200 people attending is too much. “What I thought was that it was a presentation with less than 50 people!”

Well, for Yul, the only way to present is during academy classes and in front of his classmates.

However, when the princess announced that she was planning to invite about 200 nobles, I was understandably scared.

‘What should I do if I don’t get a refund?’

An invitation had already been sent in the name of Princess Mona.

Even if Yul said he couldn’t do it, it wasn’t something he could avoid.

“50 people was too much. Nobles must also attend, and alchemists are also very interested in this research, so many have sent wishes to attend. “We reduced the number of people to 200 as much as possible.”

If all the alchemists who had expressed interest in attending had been invited, the number would have been up to 300.

When I heard that this was also reduced as much as possible, Yul touched his forehead as if he was dizzy.

“You don’t have to be too nervous. They didn’t come there to eat you. “I’m sure there will be a lot of talk about alchemy, which you like.”

I became thoughtful and tried to appease Yul, who was feeling unsure.

Yul’s complexion seemed a little energized by the news that a story related to alchemy would be discussed.

“Is this really okay? “I think I’m even more nervous because senior alchemists are coming.”

“Just because I’m a senior doesn’t mean I’m better than you, so don’t worry.”

“!!”

“So don’t be discouraged for no reason.”

If the invited alchemist was friendly to Yul, there would be no problem, but he could have been jealous of the research results and started an argument.

There was nothing I could do about it.

This is something that Yul has to figure out on his own.

“You will be able to do well. “I believe it.”

“… thank you.”

Somehow I don’t have any confidence in my answer.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally had no choice but to say this.

“Do you want me to help you?”

“really?!”

Yul knew me as the developer of purification liquid, so he misunderstood that I was a great alchemist.

That’s why their eyes sparkle when I tell them I’ll help them.

“I won’t touch your research results. “The part I can help with is the presentation.”

Presenting research results was something that an alchemist had to do.

What I could help Yul with was giving him advice on how to give a presentation.

This means helping the audience focus on her presentation, such as eye contact and pronunciation.

‘To begin with, I don’t know anything about alchemy. The only thing you need to worry about is how to present it… .’

I don’t know anything else, but I’m confident that it will be quite helpful in practicing presentations.

“The presentation… ?”

“There is skill in presentations.”

Honestly, considering Yul’s genius, there was no way the presentation was strange.

It’s a strange situation that I can’t do it.

In particular, isn’t this presentation nothing more than an announcement about the alchemy that Yul has been developing for a long time?

The problem was whether she could read the presentation without shaking, and I was thinking of fixing that.

No matter how hard I teach, the fact that you ultimately have to do well yourself remains the same.

“Honestly, I’m really at a loss as to what to do right now. “Can you help me even though I haven’t done anything?”

“of course. Come to me anytime if you need help. “There may not be much I can do for you, though.”

Yul’s face widened.

Even so, there isn’t much I can do.

‘Isn’t this something you can feel safe about?’

I wondered why he felt so relieved, and from the day after hearing that he would help, Yul started to prepare for the presentation by going in and out of my general store just like he used to go in and out of his personal lab.

“Did you do well this time? I never limped a word and my pronunciation was clearly audible. In particular, my speaking speed has slowed down a lot. “But you know we have to delay here, right?”

“yes!”

The biggest problem with Yul’s presentation was that when he concentrated on something, he spoke faster without realizing it.

Since I was very talkative, I had a lot of things I wanted to say, so it seemed like a habit I had developed.

I didn’t know that until now, but I realized it while practicing my speech.

‘It’s harder to fix than I thought.’

This was especially true because it was a habit I was not aware of.

Even if the speed was controlled during practice, there was a risk that the habit would suddenly pop out in practice.

So I made a promise with Yul.

In practice, if your speaking speed increases, I will give you a signal from below.

So, when you’re scared, check on me.

So Yul and I prepared the presentation together and practiced passionately until the day of the banquet.

I couldn’t help but feel proud as I watched Yul regain his confidence the more he practiced.

‘If Yul debuts, it will create a huge buzz. ‘How amazing is it that a student attending the academy has created a hair loss treatment?’

Those who don’t trust, those who want to risk and fall for no reason, those who are greedy, those who use their brains to have the law itself, etc.

All kinds of dung flies will stick to it.

Since I am under the protection of Princess Mona, I can prevent it to some extent, but I don’t think I will be lucky enough to avoid all attacks.

‘Princess Mona is still just one of countless successors.’

If she were to enter a full-fledged battle for succession and solidify her power, the nobles would be reluctant, but there could be some who thought that Princess Mona was still a ‘minor’ attending the academy.

In other words, when Yul debuted this time, all those who attacked him would be Princess Mona’s enemies.

‘There’s nothing we can do about it because it has such a strong impact.’

I couldn’t just keep helping Yul prepare for his presentation.

In order to protect Yul, it was time for me to move slowly.

Inside the museum office.

The Chechen came with a bunch of documents and started reporting in a familiar manner.

As I was taking care of each task, something suddenly occurred to me and I said it.

“Receiving reports like this suddenly reminds me of Suhan.”

“It’s clear that since you’ve had him around, things have been going beyond what you expected. I’m glad it’s progressing in a positive way, but it’s still an embarrassing situation for me. “This level of growth was something I had not planned for.”

“So are you anxious?”

“We are making new plans. “I will soon complete a satisfactory plan and report it to you.”
