The Villain Family’s New Daughter-In-Law - Chapter 109

“In fact, I actually got some seeds when I went to the desert, but…….”

“Did you?”

Luciel and Ellington clenched their fists and waited for his answer.

“I think I heard that my wife killed them while trying to raise it in the garden, hahaha. Let’s see if there are any living ones.”

“Yes, please.”

We went to visit Count Gillien’s garden just like that, and were able to find a dying Water Dragon abandoned in a corner.

“Little Madam, this is it. Water Dragon.”

Luciel replied with shining eyes.

“Although the condition is a little bad, it might be one way to solve the problem of getting drinking water in the drought!”

“I think it might be too small to be used as a substitute for drinking water.”

Count Gillen spoke as he moved the Water Dragon to the flowerpot. The fruit, like a hollow gourd, was the size of an adult’s fist even when it withered.

“Isn’t there a way to get a lot of Water Dragon in bulk?”

“We will see, but it will take some time before we can bring in plants from the Quandra region.”

At Ellington’s answer, Luciel muttered.

“Then, can’t we make this small water dragon even bigger? In that case, it would be good if it could be used as drinking water for the people.”

“What? Ahhh! That way!”

“That’s a good idea!”

Count Gillen, who was rolling his eyes, and Ellington, who was listening, shouted at the same time.

“If it is Sir Gillard’s magic, I think it will be temporarily possible until we bring in the Water Dragon seeds.”

It was just a small wish, but if it was possible, even temporarily, it was a good solution.

Ellington nodded and said.

“Yes. I must inform Sir Gillard. There must be a way.”

“Little Madam is speaking of things that adults didn’t think of. We might really be able to use the Water Dragon as drinking water.”

Thus, the three who went to see Gillard were able to find a solution. Gillard, with the earth attribute, was able to make plants grow huge.

Soon, Gillard, who reached the center of the village, took out a green wand. When he dug up the soil with magic, the wizards in stand-by spread special fertilizer evenly on the soil. Plants not suited to the climate would also grow well by adding fertilizer with special nutrients, creating synergy with magic.

However, due to its high price, it was only used as a fertilizer for cultivating rare plants.

Luciel planted the water dragon she was holding directly on the dug-up soil. After collecting the soil, she covered it with her hand so that no one could see it, and planted a jewel together with the fruit.

‘Rose of Phoenix liked the jewel, so wouldn’t this help too? I hope you grow up well. May it be helpful to everyone.’

As Luciel left the pit, the wizards poured rain on it.

“Everyone, step back for a moment.”

Paaah.

Gillard gave strength to his eyes, drawing in his mana. In an instant, the water dragon began to grow tall and straight.

Not only was it thick, but one gourd was so huge that it was about the size of a wild boar.

When the magic was completed, the Water Dragon grew to an impressive size that even changed the landscape of the town.

Gillard chanted his spells incessantly and the fruits were given an additional protective shield in succession. So that not even one gourd fruit gets damaged.

“It’s being protected by magic, but I hope you do not damage the tree recklessly. The effect will last about a fortnight.”

Since the drought hasn’t started yet, it seems that it will be possible to buy a reasonable amount of time until the plants from the Qandra area are fully brought in.

The number of fruits seemed to be about a hundred.

Everyone watched it with wonder. Their eyes were not yet easily understanding this situation. However, everyone looked up at the large Water Dragon as if that alone was already thrilling.

It was difficult for them to ask anything directly since he was the Duke’s predecessor. Luciel deliberately raised her arm to answer the question the villagers would be curious about.

“Grandpa, what will happen if you eat all the fruits that are over there?”

Gillard, who dignifiedly looked around the audience with his wand, answered Luciel with a gentle expression on his face.

“There’s strong <Grow> magic applied, so if you pick more than a certain amount of fruit, it will grow up to two or three times. However, it is also due to magic, so after about a fortnight it will not grow again.”

People shook their heads at his answer.

“How do you drink water from the fruit?”

“Soon, a special rod will be connected to the fruit so that the fruit can be used as drinking water, so you can drink the water coming out of the stick. Think of it as a natural well.”

“It’s really cool!”

It wasn’t long before the tools were brought in and the installation was complete.

When the water from the fruit flowed out along the long rod, the people brought bowls and went to collect water.

Water Dragon tasting was over.

The faces of the village chief, Viscount Berga, and the residents, who were worried about the sudden drought and water problem, suddenly brightened.

“Thank you so much! This tree will become the pride of our village in the future. It is a precious gift.”

The village chief and the people expressed their deep gratitude. Luciel was relieved and happy at the same time to be able to help them.

“Whew, this is a relief right, Luciel?”

“Yes, it was fortunate that the Water Dragon remained in the garden of Count Gillen.”

“Right, shall we go back now?”

“I need to stop by my little fief for a while.”

“Is that so? Let me know if you need help with something.”

Luciel carefully suggested something at Gillard consideration.

“Would you like to go with me Grandpa?”

“That’s good.”

Now that she has nothing to hide from her family, Luciel rode a carriage with Gillard to the little fief with peace of mind.

Then there, as if waiting, Erika came out of the laboratory building.

Luciel got off the carriage first with Ralph’s help.

“Miss Luciel!”

“Sister Erika.”

As soon as she saw Luciel, Erika hugged her tight enough to flutter her bob.

“It’s been a while since I saw you.”

“Yes, it is. I’ve been a little busy with the reception.”

“Whoo, I finished my research and I’ve been waiting to report my results……Oh my goodness. Was Master Gillard here too?”

Seeing Gillard getting off the carriage moments later, Erika’s eyes widened and she covered her mouth.

“Miss Luciel?”

“it’s okay. Grandpa knows too. You worked hard, Sister Erika.”

“Ah! I see.”

“Erika, I’m seeing you all the way here.”

“Yes.”

Erika put aside the Tower work and secretly came here to help Luciel, so she glanced at Gillard wondering if he was going to scold her.

But Gillard was silent. Luciel grabbed his arm, looked at the two of them, and said.

“Grandpa, Sister Erika. Shall we go over there first and talk?”

Luciel pointed to the off-white laboratory building. Gillard, who looked at the observation tools and research facilities equipped inside, opened his mouth wide.

“You have set this up very well. Wait, this tool is…….”

Gillard paused in front of the gigantic observation tool. It looked like a large fireplace, and it was a tool he knew well.

“This needs to be approved by Arzeon.”

“Oh, well, that’s what father-in-law got for me!”

Luciel tried to cover like that, but it didn’t work for Gillard.

“…… Luciel, be honest. I know that Arzeon guy well. Even if Louivid threatens him, he’s not the type of person who will give his approval.”

“…….”

‘I’m sorry, Arzeon. I think I got caught.’

Arzeon was leisurely wandering around in the grasslands of the little fief, and when the carriage arrived, he realized that Louivid had come and run away.

Luciel became a honeyed mute, but Gillard smiled and said.

(Note: Someone who has something to say, or wants to say something but cannot do so.)

“Anyway, we’ll hear about that later so let’s hear the results of Erika’s research first.”

At that, Erika guided them over.

“You two, please come this way.”

She was, in fact, excited to share her research findings with Luciel the whole time.

“Uhm-hm.”

After she cleared her voice to calm her excitement, Erika explained one by one the jewels that were floating on the observation tool.

As she placed a sapphire on top of the observation device the needle quickly pointed to the highest scale of 200, and soon it spun twice over. It was a phenomenon that occurred when the numbers were remarkably overflowing.

“It has been confirmed that all of the jewels that have been studied have mana higher than the highest level magic stones found to date. It’s not enough for the observation needle to point to the highest scale, so it’s spinning two more times, see?”

Erika continued her speech as she looked at the report that she had prepared beforehand.

“Considering that the number of the highest level magic stone in existence is 200, it is estimated that the magic power of these jewels is at least doubled, and that of the ruby, which had the greatest magic, it is estimated that it is at least three times more.”

While Luciel was listening quietly, Gillard was startled.

“What? Do you mean two or three times the mana found in existing magic stones? Hahahaha. Oh my, is this possible?”

Gillard was so startled that he burst out laughing.

‘Erika said she didn’t know much about the source of Luciel’s jewels. By the way, it’s really amazing that the jewels that Luciel made had that much magical power.’

The highest-grade magic stone in existence are precious items that are traded at high prices, but the jewel is several times stronger than those.

He shook his head.

“It’s not just that. All gems contain elemental power.”

Erika puts a chemical that reacts with sapphire into the magic flask. Then, in an instant, water appeared and ice formed.

“I can’t believe it. What am I looking at!”

It was more magical than standard magic. To think that such power was hidden in Luciel’s jewel…… They have tremendous value. It’s surprising that it has mana, but it also has elemental power.

Gillard felt his heart pounding and his body trembling.

“Luciel, this is an exceptional case that has no record in the history of magic. The value of this jewel is so precious that it cannot even be calculated.”

“Yes. Master Gillard. I was so nervous while studying them…….”

Erika nodded her head as well, holding her breath. When the two of them reacted like that, Luciel felt somewhat strange when she also thought that her jewels were that great.

“Really?”

If so, I wish I could use this power completely as my own.

Luciel calmly waited for Erika to continue her explanation.

“In summary, Emerald has the power of wind, Ruby ​​has the power of fire, Topaz has the power of earth, and Sapphire has the power of water and ice.”

“One jewel has two powers?”
