Start As a Lord In a Viscount

After driving away the soldiers who came to make trouble, Yana looked at Claire with admiration, and said, You are amazing.

Claire looked at the soldiers who had left, and was not happy after finishing the matter, on the contrary, she was a little worried.

It's not that simple.

Yana asked in confusion, Isn't it solved?

It's solved, but not completely.

...

As expected by Claire, after the conflict that day, a rumor began to spread in the city.

Do you know what happened the other day?

What's the matter?

Some other troops went to the warehouse to ask for an explanation, saying that the person in charge of distributing the medicine was full of his own pockets and replaced the good healing potion with the inferior one.

Really?

Of course it's true. Many soldiers lost their lives because of the use of inferior potions.

That's really scary, isn't our potion also inferior?

Go back quickly and let the captain check.

...

Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Rumors about this have spread throughout the city within a few days, and the soldiers inside have heard the rumor more or less.

Even when Claire was distributing supplies, he heard some soldiers discussing him behind his back, and some cursed.

But Claire didn't care, and took the initiative to explain, he knew that it wouldn't be of great use.

People are more willing to believe what they believe, and even if they explain themselves, they will only be regarded as sophistry.

Only Yana couldn't help but go up to argue when she heard someone say bad things about Claire, but the result was often not so good, either she was overwhelmed by other people's words, or she said it with reason. , then the other party will only say perfunctory: Ah yes yes yes.

...

Dong Dong Dong!

Claire was lying in her room when she heard a knock on the door from outside.

He got up and said to himself, Who is it? Yana's words shouldn't knock on the door.

After opening the door, I saw a soldier standing at the door, holding two things, a box, and a letter.

Lord Claire, this is what Hubert Juggernaut gave you. This letter is from the capital.

After Claire thanked him, he took two things, closed the door and returned to his bed.

The words Hubert gave me should be Rage Flame Potion... Claire muttered to herself, and opened the box. Sure enough, there was a test tube containing a blood-red potion, probably because the main ingredient was Rage Flame Essence. ore, and Ragefire Concentrate happens to be blood red.

Claire lifted it up to see the luster of the eyedrops, then opened the cork and smelled the potion. Just by sniffing it lightly, she could feel the magic in her body surging, and it was not fake that it could increase the chance of promotion. .

Then Claire took another sip, and with the level of his refining medicine, he quickly came up with the approximate data of the medicine.

The chance of a mage apprentice being promoted to a low-level mage will increase by 40%, and the probability will decrease as you go up. When you are promoted from a high-level mage to an archmage, there is only a 65% chance.

However, this probability is already outrageous. Many people did not advance because they were so poor. As a result, they formed a heart knot and stayed in the same place for life.

Although the chance of this potion to assist in promotion is not as high as that of the magic plant in Rona's yard that bears big fruit, but it can't stand his amount. Adding up, there are only a hundred or so, and the amount of Raging Flame Concentrate mined every day on the Raging Flame Plane can produce at least a thousand potions, and the number is not comparable at all.

But even if there are thousands of them, it has nothing to do with them, and it is good to be able to prostitute one for nothing.

After a brief analysis, Claire put the potion back in the box, and then received the space ring, which will be used as a reward for the knights of the Viscount when he returns.

Then he tore open the envelope and shook out the letter inside. Claire didn't put her eyes on the letter for a minute, and her face became more and more ugly.

...

On the afternoon of the day the envelope was delivered, the news of Claire's departure spread in the city, and the soldiers who were unaware of the situation were still cheering and cheering.

Have you finally transferred that person! Then you won't have to worry about using inferior potions again.

If you want me to say, if you dare to be greedy even for the materials sent to the army, this kind of person should be beheaded and displayed to the public.

They have something to do with the August family. It would be nice to be able to transfer them away.

Hmph, what kind of shit family, they know how to suck our blood in the rear. How important is it for our soldiers who are working hard on the front line.

Speaking of these topics, the soldiers began to scold the kings and nobles of the kingdom again. This kind of hatred for the powerful is present no matter what era it is.

When Claire was packing things in the room, Yana rushed in. She just learned that Claire might be leaving.

After coming in, Yana directly grabbed Claire's hand and asked anxiously, Is what they said true? Are you really leaving?

She really misses Claire. She has been here for more than two months. Claire is her only friend here, and she also feels very unfair for Claire. This is obviously a rumor made by others!

Claire stopped cleaning up and nodded lightly, Yes, I will leave later, Mrs. Sophia will send someone new to replace me.

Why! Yana asked in confusion.

Claire picked up the envelope on the table and showed it in front of Yana, and said, Your Majesty asked Mrs. Sophia to give the order in person.

Yana was still in disbelief, Just because of that! How could they not believe you, anyone with a brain wouldn't think it was you who did it! What are you trying to do, just those broken potions? It's not as much as you earn a month.

Claire took a deep breath to relieve the depression in her heart, and explained, Of course they don't believe it, but it's fine if someone believes it.

It is now in the preparation stage to prepare for a decisive battle with the Furious Flame Orcs, but at this juncture, such news has come from the rear, especially the healing potion that is related to their own interests, those soldiers are naturally very care, so even the slightest suspicion can lead to panic.”

Naturally those soldiers don't want to use inferior potions, so no matter whether it is true or false, as long as someone believes it, it is true. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the best way is not to give those soldiers Explain and tell them that I will not replace the potion, but will replace me directly.

Yana was speechless when she listened to Claire's analysis. It was indeed as Claire said. Under such circumstances, no one would care about someone else's feelings at all. As long as there is no problem, sacrifice anyone. OK.

When Claire explained, his tone was not so peaceful. Once he left office, the conditions that Sophia could promise to him would be affected, such as the title of earl and the position of power in the capital. It's all things that really touch his interests.

Those who are not the shareholders of the Mitre Bank or the partners of the August family, Sophia can decide by herself, otherwise she will not send Claire here, just to be able to save a certain amount of merit, With that, she could help Claire ask Norris for titles and offices.
