Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 179 The Effect of Four-Leaf Clover
Brewing wizard, this is a rare profession in the empire.

Yet, it's not entirely detached from the mortal world, enigmatic and mysterious. The Empire's moon is the Witch Moon, Mothrib. Legend has it that its existence imbues the world with magical energy, drawing its power from beastmen, demons, wizards, spirits, and more.

Therefore, among the eight important festivals in the empire, one is related to the moon, called the Witch's Day.

The Empire's famous Westerland wine, legendary for being brewed by the undead, has a toasted cinnamon flavor and a distinct steely aftertaste, giving soldiers steel-like defenses from the moment they drink it until they sober up. A bottle of this wine can fetch 40 gold crowns, but few dare to buy it.

So if Annaliese is a brewing wizard, then Amethyst Brandy has escaped being just an ordinary product and become a famous magical wine on the continent.

I don’t dare to think about 40 gold coins in the early stage, but the starting price of 10 gold coins or 20 gold coins should be no problem.

Hearing Su Li's question, Annaliese, her face still hidden beneath her hood, whispered hoarsely, "No, I'm not a wizard. I'm just a winemaker pursuing perfection. I believe that wine like Gotthold's, which is made with pure Witch Moon energy, is not wine, but a source of magical pollution."

"A true winemaker should use the purest and finest grapes to make fruit wine that has the effect of magic wine."

Su Li smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "Good, you have ambition. Transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary will demonstrate your strength. I expect you to be able to turn decay into magic. Are you sure?"

Annaliese nodded slightly and said, "I'm fairly confident that by adding a small amount of Gewürztraminer to the fermentation barrels during the winemaking process, the resulting wine will become a golden brandy that tastes like iced lemonade with a subtle earthy aroma. Most importantly, it will have a magical effect. Just one glass can give people a mild hangover. And while feeling slightly tipsy, it will exude an enchanting scent that will make others, enveloped in its alluring fragrance, unable to resist the urge to get close to it."

Su Li's eyes widened instantly. He immediately said, "Break it! Brew it now! From now on, all the purple crystal grapes in the territory will be brewed by you. No one else can interfere."

Is this wine? This is clearly liquid gold!
This magic wine can produce aphrodisiac effects. Su Li is sure that the nobles will go crazy for this brandy.

Even a bottle could cost a hundred gold coins.

What man could resist the aphrodisiac effect? ​​Isn't this what the nobles pursued in their extravagant and licentious lives?

Especially when there is no shortage of women, a woman's performance in bed determines the nobles' sense of accomplishment.

Whether a woman loves you or not, and whether she likes you physically or not, makes a huge difference in bed.

If the aphrodisiac effect were to be spread, it would become the nectar that nobles and ladies would crazily pursue.

Why is sadomasochism so popular? Ultimate pleasure is what humans pursue and yearn for.

If the territory could produce this fine wine, Su Li would be able to possess some of the power of sexual abuse.

Think about it, an aphrodisiac wine picked entirely by pure girls and brewed by pure witches, both its efficacy and the value of the services it provides are simply maxed out.

However, thinking of this question, Su Li asked Annaliese cautiously: "Excuse me, you haven't had any intimate contact with men, right?"

"What kind of contact do you mean?" Annaliese asked with a hint of teasing. "Does holding hands count? What about kissing? Or spreading your legs? You don't have to hide it."

Are all witches so weird?

Fortunately, before Su Li could awkwardly continue to point out, Annaliese pulled down her hood, covering most of her face, and said, "But no matter what, I have never had contact with men in any sense of the word. I haven't even touched a man's body. I'm a witch abandoned by Rhea, so I can brew this kind of fine wine."

A witch abandoned by Leia? Su Li looked at Melian and asked, "What does it mean to be abandoned by Leia?"

Melian, a sister of Rhea, looked at Annaliese, hidden beneath her hood, with a slight surprise. She then quietly explained to Su Li, "She is completely insulated from Rhea's ministry, unable to feel love, fertility, or hope. Legend has it that such a person will transfer the grace that Rhea should have bestowed upon them to the people and things they come into contact with. Some also believe she is an ominous symbol, bringing disaster to the territory and causing it to lose Rhea's protection."

What kind of physique is this?
Su Li was surprised. Was she a barren woman? Or was she allergic to men?
Su Li looked at her delicate chin and felt that she should be able to feel love. At least Su Li could infer from her delicate chin and slim figure that she was a beautiful girl.

As a man, I would have a strong interest in her, so how could she not feel love?

Seeing Su Li's doubts, Annalace said calmly: "I can't touch a man's body, otherwise I will have a violent reaction. And you men should not be interested in my appearance under the hood."

"Whoever said that, I'm very interested." Su Li immediately replied firmly. She had been so secretive since she came over, with her hood almost pulled down to her chin, how could he not be curious?

Annalise chuckled mockingly and asked, "Are you sure you want to watch it? It might shatter all your fantasies."

Su Li said decisively: "Based on your figure, I think you will also be a beauty."

Can they be uglier than the Dawn Church nuns wearing straw masks?
But it does not stop men from looking at the nuns' bodies with great interest.

Upon hearing this, Annaliese raised her right hand, grasped her hood, and pulled it suddenly, revealing her purple left face!
Purple!

Also known as the color of death, the famous Amethyst Academy in the Vampire Earldom trains wizards who are proficient in purple magic. They can manipulate and control the dead and control death.

There was a thick, unchanging purple aura on Annaliese's face, which made the area below her left eye shrouded in a terrifying aura of death. Even her skin had rotted away, leaving only purple bones and amethyst-like eyeballs.

Su Li was suddenly startled and couldn't help but take a step back. This was the first time he had seen such a dead person since entering this world.

This Annaliese is most likely already deceased. She has no problem coming into contact with women, probably because women have a stronger feminine aura, while men have a stronger masculine aura.

So how could a dead person possibly feel Rhea's love and fertility grace?

But after Su Li calmed down, he looked at Annaliese taking off her hood, revealing her snow-white chest and her chest rising and falling. He could be sure that she still had a heartbeat and breathing, which were the signs of a living person.

Su Li's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and she said calmly, "Aren't you quite beautiful? Although the purple scar has changed your appearance, it also adds a bit of mystery to you."

At night, with the lights off, it all felt the same. The key point was that Annaliese had a great figure, with a curvaceous figure and fair skin. She wore mysterious purple stockings that showed off her legs.

Su Li took a deep breath and said, "When you're not brewing wine, you can go sit for a while by Ingrid's consecrated wisteria tree. The wind of life converges there, which may have a miraculous effect on the scar on your face."

Only an eyebrow remained on Annaliese's face, and her left eye was left with only a scar and skull covered in purple psychic energy. She could clearly feel the lord's fear just now.

But her remaining brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Su Li scrutinizingly and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Su Li smiled and replied, "I've said so much, and you asked if that one was true? But there's no need for me to lie to you, right?"

Look, you went under Ingrid's tree house, and I wanted to make you feel what love feels like.

Men can't touch your body, but women can.

Ingrid obeyed Su Li's every word. If Su Li asked her to lie down, she would never kneel. If Su Li asked her to endure it, she would never be distracted.

By then, Annaliese will be easily pushed down by Ingrid and experience all kinds of happiness.

So Su Li didn't dwell on this question for too long, and asked directly with great interest: "What do you think about the scale of winemaking? How much brandy can we make from our 4,000 kilograms of grapes?"

Speaking of business, Annaliese finally gathered her thoughts a little. She habitually put on her hood to cover up her purple scars, revealing only her slim figure in crystal stockings.

"Grape winemaking technology is very mature. About 5 to 7 kilograms of grapes can produce one kilogram of wine. Based on the 7 kilograms of grapes used in the setup, we can produce 571 kilograms of wine."

“然后每10斤葡萄酒可以蒸馏出3～4斤的白兰地。以4斤为计算，大概为143斤白兰地。”

143 kilograms of brandy can be packaged into more than 100 bottles, and Annaliese estimated everything based on the minimum value.

However, the quality of Amethyst grapes is excellent, and the maximum value can be taken to produce 266 bottles.

Even if this wine has not yet become famous, at 10 gold crowns per bottle, that would be a profit of 2666 gold crowns.

No wonder it was said throughout the empire that a bottle of luxury brandy was worth a farmer’s annual income.

The output of this winemaking indeed exceeds the income of ordinary farmers from farming.

Of course, growing grapes is also a kind of farming, so Su Li was in a very good mood. This kind of farming business has great potential.

Su Li then called Melian and Annaliese together and said, "From now on, the winemaking business of the territory will be handed over to you two. I will spread the reputation of this fine wine right away, and I hope you can brew it as soon as possible."

"Also, regarding your extraordinary level, Melian, I will help you find a way to upgrade you to an elite nun as soon as possible. You only need to devote all your energy to taking care of this vineyard."

"Of course, to expand the orchard, you can select six more girls from among your subjects and teach them vineyard cultivation techniques. But remember, they can only learn the techniques to be used for future expansion. This is the highest quality vineyard, and you must cultivate and harvest the fruits yourself."

The strength of the Dawn Church should also be improved. They have made outstanding contributions to the development of the territory.

Priest Fandral has always paid attention to the coverage and spread of the Church of Dawn in the territory, but Su Li feels it is necessary to improve their strength as well.

At least a few more elite nuns, or even a champion-level monk, will be needed.

Otherwise, it is impossible for an elite druid to always lead a group of trainee nuns to stick to the rules in the order.

This is not only unworthy of the territory's current prosperity, but also detrimental to their technological advancement.

Melian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was a priestess of the Church of Dawn, not Su Li's slave. What she hoped to do was to spread the teachings of the Goddess of Dawn, rather than to guard the park alone.

With Su Li's arrangement, she finally felt relieved and assured: "My Lord, please rest assured, I will do my best to take care of this place and let the grace of the Goddess of Dawn shine upon this place." With Su Li's arrangement, Melian and Annaliese immediately began to carry the ripe and plump grapes to the winery.

4000 kilograms of grapes that don't ripen on the same day are not much of a burden for two adult women.

The winery was built next to the vineyard, and Annaliese only took two trips to deliver all the grapes that Melian had picked in a day to the winery for peeling and fermentation.

Su Li watched for a while and felt that Annaliese did have sufficient experience in winemaking, so he took Hildre and the others back to the manor.

However, after arranging Phyllis to go to bed, Su Li did not stay in the manor. He had not seen Ingrid all day, so he wanted to accompany this beautiful witch.

Today is the harvest season celebration and the territory is very lively, so it is not suitable for Ingrid who likes quietness. She stayed in the tree house under the consecrated wisteria tree all day.

The scenery here is completely different from the beautiful snow-white scenery at the Moon Crown Tree. Ingrid planted a large amount of purple lavender under the Consecrated Wisteria Tree. The lavender and the waterfall-like wisteria decorate the entire space, making this place beautiful and full of fantasy.

When Su Li entered the room, Ingrid had already lain down. The thin quilt could not cover her slim and hot figure, and her fair shoulders and collarbone were exposed under the sheets.

Seeing this, Su Li couldn't help but smile.

Obviously, Ingrid did all this in accordance with Su Li's request, and she had to be naked after entering the quilt.

The witch was deeply conquered by Su Li and was willing to obey all of Su Li's orders.

However, Su Li did not go against her will and make her do something she didn't like.

Su Li's requests were basically limited to the relationship between the two of them, and were various shameful behaviors to promote feelings.

Although Ingrid doesn't like making the Wild Ring, she still maintains the number of four per month.

But this is already very impressive. In almost half a year, more than 20 pieces have been produced, which is almost enough to equip the entire Hessian Guards.

When Ingrid heard the door open, she opened her eyes and looked at Su Li with a cold gaze: "Are you so busy today? Why are you here so late?"

Su Li lifted the quilt, smiled and put his hands in, and sure enough, he felt something slightly cool, round and smooth.

He quickly took off his clothes, got into bed, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm not busy today. I just ran around."

Ingrid snorted softly, wrapped her arms around Su Li's back, and asked, "I feel your heartbeat is rapid, what happened?"

Su Li raised his head with interest, looked at her cool face and delicate chin, and asked, "What if, I mean what if, I was corroded by the wind of death and turned into a dried corpse, my body shriveled like a stick, like a skeleton, would you still allow me to violate you like this?"

Ingrid looked up at Su Li's burning gaze, her face still calm, and asked, "Are you referring to Beauty and the Beast?"

"No, Beauty and the Mummy."

Ingrid sighed softly, "What evil idea do you have?"

These girls are really smart. Only Phyllis seems a little naive and innocent.

Su Li kissed her delicate chin, his breath burning hot: "You haven't answered me yet. If I turn into that horrible mummy, will you still allow me to climb on top of you?"

"Allow it, allow it. As long as it's you, no matter if you're pretty or ugly. With your personality, is there any chance I can say no?"

Su Li immediately laughed, kissed her passionately, and said with a smile: "You are really my baby."

Ingrid tried to maintain her cool demeanor. "When you say that, it basically means you have some bad intentions. What do you want to do?"

"If it weren't for you, I would never have agreed to this."

Su Li said decisively: "Of course! Of course! How could I allow others to touch my treasure? You will know when the time comes. Anyway, it is not what you think."

After saying that, Su Li stopped talking, took a drop of love potion, and began to serve this cold witch diligently.

The effect of the love potion was very significant. The two of them were already very close, and now Ingrid was even more obsessed with him.

The knight's training thus became the most wonderful thing in the world. After several times of ecstasy, the cold witch Ingrid still couldn't stop. She snuggled in Su Li's arms in fascination, smelling the fragrance of his sweat.

So the cold witch turned into a clingy kitten and said, "As long as you are happy, I can do anything."

It's done!

Su Li could basically see the intimate scenes between the two witches.

Then Su Li caressed her body and said patiently, "There's a new witch in the territory. But don't worry, she's different from you. She's mainly engaged in brewing wine. You two can communicate more in the future."

"The flourishing of the Moon Crown Tree means that witchcraft in the territory should also have developed. You may be able to gain some inspiration from it."

Ingrid guessed what was going on immediately and asked, "You want her to come to my place?"

Su Li hugged her tightly and said, "I'll only be here for a short while. I won't disturb your practice."

"Is she a deceased person?"

"That's not the case. It's just that her face has a strong air of the dead. She is a living person and has a good figure."

"You want to see the scene with Phyllis and Avril?"

In just a few words, Ingrid guessed everything.

Su Li did not hide it and said, "Is it okay? I want her to come here to bathe in the wind of life, maybe it can relieve the purple energy on her face."

Ingrid lay on his chest and said calmly, "You will succeed sooner or later. If I refuse, I will only be asking for trouble. You don't know how you will torture me. Let her do it. It's not like I haven't been kissed by Avril and the other three."

Su Li immediately hugged the gentle girl happily and took her to practice happily again.

Then he kissed her cheek and said, "It's time to go to bed. There's an important meeting tomorrow that concerns all the work of the territory. Will you attend?"

Ingrid gasped and shook her head. She felt like she didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

The training of a knight is really too physically demanding.

"I...I can't do it anymore. I probably won't be able to get up tomorrow. And I don't like such a lively scene."

"Tonight I will...I will report to you alone."

"Just keep your hands to yourself and spare me."

Su Li said, "Okay, I guess you don't like to join in the fun. This is also one of the reasons why I came here tonight. I will stick to you like this. Go ahead and talk."

Ingrid snorted and lay on the pillow, letting her clouded brain regain some clarity before she sorted out some of her thoughts.

"I've made some progress in witchcraft, too. Especially since you built this tree house here, it's almost like a wizard's tower."

"My amulet-making speed has increased significantly. I've already made 30 Fate Amulets in this period."

The effect of the Savage Ring is to arouse the killing will in humans, increasing the probability of heavy strikes and combos in combat.

So as a forest witch, Ingrid didn't like making this killing ring.

But the Amulet of Destiny was different. It was something that could protect humans. Before a war, humans could dream of future omens and know the enemy's fatal blow, allowing the knight to avoid the first fatal blow in battle.

Ingrid is not opposed to making this prop.

So Ingrid said, "This quantity can be further increased, but there is a shortage of the high-quality materials needed for production."

Su Li hugged her from behind, put his hands where they should be, and then asked in her ear: "What materials do you need? I will prepare them for you."

"It requires nightmare fuel, which is the mane of the nightmare horse, rubies, and earth spirit tablets. If you have a four-leaf clover, the effect of the fate amulet will be enhanced, like the one you are wearing."

Su Li touched the amulet hanging around his neck. It was specially made for him by Ingrid, and she put it on him personally.

It has the refreshing scent of four-leaf clover and is extremely powerful, allowing it to directly dodge the enemy's first three attacks in battle.
