At 8 o'clock in the morning, Irene arrived at the Lord's Castle.

Because she had been studying Flag Language for the army, in order to facilitate discussions with the officers, she had been staying in the Staff Department's compound, or running to the military camp.

After Flag Language had taken initial shape, Paul ordered her to move her office to the castle.

A servant led her to her "office", which was a small room. After entering, she found that there was only a desk, a few chairs, and a bookshelf with a kitchen.

Irene sighed and thought, "He is really a boss who doesn't understand the sentiment of life at all!"

She didn't complain that Paul was too stingy, because she had seen Paul's own office, which was also extremely monotonous, no better than here or there.

"That's all, I'll dress up slowly from now on."

She looked left and right in the room, thinking carefully about the plan to decorate the room.

At this time, there was the sound of the door opening and closing next door.

She suddenly remembered that she had just heard from the servant that Lord's Manor had another consultant working next door to her.

As a colleague, you should take the initiative to build a good relationship. After all, she is no longer the dazzling princess she used to be, and everyone is vying to cling to her.

Irene came out and knocked gently on the door of the next room. A "Please come in" came from inside. The voice was very pleasant.

"The voice sounds like that of a lovely girl. That earl can't be a pervert."

With this thought in mind, Irene opened the door and was stunned for a moment.

Standing in front of him turned out to be the benefactor who saved him from a tiger's mouth a few months ago - the scholar and adventurer Ms. Laddie.

Obviously, judging from the expression on Miss Scholar's face, she was also very surprised.

Irene reacted quickly and said gracefully, "Oh, I really didn't expect it. It turns out that Miss Laddie is Lord's Manor's new consultant. Hello!"

Laddie also smiled and responded, "Hello, Diaz Miss. I heard Lord Greiman talk about you, but I haven't visited you for several days. I'm sorry."

Irene shook his hand and said, "You couldn't find me a few days ago. I've been staying at the Staff Department in the army, and no one is allowed to come in or out at will."

"Don't talk to me so politely in the future. You saved my life first, and now you have become my colleague. Maybe this is God's arrangement."

Laddie nodded with a smile, and the little worry in his heart disappeared without a trace.

When she rescued Diaz Miss from Black-Spotted Tiger that day, although the other party also thanked her, for some reason she always felt that she was a proud and arrogant person. Now it seems that she is not difficult to get along with.

"So, you have given up your career as an adventurer?"

"Yes, I have been traveling around for the past few years, so it's time to take a good rest."

"Haha, you must have accumulated a lot of knowledge in your adventurous career, right? I would like to ask for more advice."

"We are each other, we are both scholars, so please give us your guidance in the future."

The two chatted happily, and because they were both women and scholars, they got along very well.

About half an hour later, a servant knocked on the door and came in. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please invite the two advisors to meet in the restaurant."

Irene asked in confusion, "Why is it a restaurant? Earl Greiman Do you want to treat us to dinner? But it's still early for lunch."

The servant said, "I don't know, the earl just asked me to invite you."

Irene pouted. "Really, Laddie and I are chatting happily."

The servant broke into a cold sweat. He had never seen anyone complain about Earl Greiman in public, but he pretended not to hear it.

Laddie pulled her sleeves and said, "Betty, let's go there quickly. It's not good to keep Lord Greiman waiting for a long time."

In just half an hour, they were so intimate that they called each other by their first names.

When Irene and Laddie arrived at the restaurant, they found that there were already many people here.

In addition to Earl Greiman, there are also Government Affairs Council Director Old Ford, several supervisors including Hansel, Schroeder, Bryce and other high-level military officials.

"Oh, two beauties are here, welcome."

Earl Greiman seemed very happy and greeted them warmly.

Irene felt a little bit like complaining. "Really, I'm almost going to fight, but I can still maintain such a good mood."

After the two Female Advisor sat down, Paul said to everyone, "I have called you here today to treat you to a special kind of food."

He turned to the servant and ordered, "Put the things up."

Soon, strange glass bottles were placed in front of everyone one by one.

Irene looked carefully at the strange bottle in front of him. It was a wide-mouth bottle made of thick glass. The mouth of the bottle was tightly plugged with a cork, and it was also sealed with a layer of wax on the outside.

But the most attractive thing is what's inside the bottle, which seems to be chopped Apple.

She looked at the bottle in front of Laddie next to her. It contained what looked like pears.

Looking around, other people's bottles contain different contents. Some contain vegetables and some contain meat. Most people looked at the glass bottle in front of them with doubtful eyes.

Except for a few people at Government Affairs Council, they had heard Paul talk about this thing a long time ago. Chief Steward Ford and Hansel had personally set up a manufacturing plant for this thing.

Paul announced happily, "Everyone, this is a 'can', a Food Processing way of preserving food for a long time. Now open them and taste the food inside."

"Come on, follow me."

Paul First use a knife to scrape the wax seal, then pick up the "bottle opener" next to the glass bottle - a spiral metal hook, screw it into the cork, and then pull it out with a push.

He picked up the fork, took out a piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Yeah! It tastes good. Everyone, feel free to eat. The food inside is all cooked."

Everyone opened the jar in the manner of the Earl, picked up their forks and tasted the food inside.

"It tastes good!"

"The soup inside is also delicious."

"Although it's not as good as the freshly made ones, if it can be preserved for a long time, it's really an excellent invention."

Everyone was talking while eating, especially the military personnel. Schroeder and Bryce began to discuss in a low voice the importance of canned food to the army's supplies.

Irene ate a piece of Apple, "Hmm... This Apple tastes a little weird, but it's not unpleasant. Laddie, where's yours?"

Laddie nodded and said, "The pear flesh here is very sweet and tastes pretty good."

Paul looked at the two Female Advisor and asked, "Both of you are from a prosperous place. I wonder if this kind of thing can be sold well in your place?"

Laddie said, "If it can be stored for a long time as you said, it will definitely be popular, especially those who often travel long distances. It will definitely be popular with them."

As a former adventurer, she certainly knew what the invention of the can meant to travelers.

Irene also nodded repeatedly. Although she had been well-fed and well-fed since she was a child, she had experienced it all the way to the northwest. Delicious food like meat and vegetables deteriorated very quickly. When she was nowhere to be found, she could only chew dry, hard black bread.

"Haha! Very good. We are already producing cans in large quantities and will sell them to the south soon."

Paul announced to everyone happily.
