Chapter 193 193. Evelyn's Travels (Part 2)
"When I was young, I rode in Youqila's car, but later the car was sold by my mother." Dafen sat in the luxurious box, casually opened the ceramic tea lid, and fell into memories.
"Youqi is not as rare as dragon soul." Evelyn boasted, with her chin slightly raised and a very proud expression.
"I don't believe you can afford this car?" Dafen questioned.
Based on her understanding of the market conditions, the space ring and the dragon carriage were worth at least 200,000 gold royals, enough to empty the principality's resources.
It was definitely not something Evelyn's small territory could afford.
"Tell me! Did you find a gold mine in the East Wasteland Forest?"
This is the only reasonable explanation.
Evelyn smiled disapprovingly, looking through the glass, she could see that the Black Fort beneath her feet was getting smaller and smaller.
"Dav, what's the altitude now?"
"Dear master, the dragon chariot is now one thousand three hundred meters away from the ground." White smoke emerged from the golden pot and condensed into a half-human figure.
"Hey, you haven't answered me yet!" Duke Dafen said angrily.
"Mother, the dragon chariot and the space ring are gifts from my son. You know how hard it was for me to give birth to him and raise him, and how much suffering I went through. It is reasonable for him to reward me within his ability." Evelyn picked up the teacup and moistened her throat.
"Why didn't I see you give me any? I want compensation too! I'm working hard too!" Dafen said with an unbalanced mentality and raised his voice.
"I'm sorry, but our way of getting along is based on clear accounting. Every penny must be accounted for clearly." Evelin pretended to be helpless and shrugged.
"Okay! I'll settle the bill for you now."
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
The dragon chariot circled in the sky and landed again in front of the gate of Black Blade Fort.
The raccoon housekeeper came out to greet him: “Miss Evelyn, are you going to stay here today?”
Evelin hummed softly, and after her mother jumped off the dragon car, she put the car into the space ring: “Is the bedroom I used to stay in still there?”
"It's always been kept for you." Raccoon Butler Bai En led the way.
He was not tall, about 1.45 meters. He was in his sixties, not too old. But for a raccoon beastman, he was already at the end of his life.
Its fur has turned gray, no longer as cute as it was thirty years ago.
The Black Blade Keep exudes a sense of decadence inside and out.
Perhaps those involved won't feel it clearly, but for those coming from Donggang City, the contrast will definitely be obvious.
One is like the rising sun, the other is like the setting sun.
The flagstone floor, after decades of use, has become mottled and greasy black, and walking on it gives you a strange sticky feeling.
There was a lack of light in the dim corridor.
Raccoon butler Bai En stopped and pushed open a broken wooden window, finally making the room a little brighter.
"Miss, you haven't been back for nearly thirty years."
The door lock of the room had long been locked and could not be opened no matter how hard the key was used.
Evelin was getting impatient waiting, her fingers were surrounded by blue and white electric light, and she lightly pointed. The copper lock broke and fell to the ground, and Bai En hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
With a creak, the wooden door was slowly pushed open.
In the room covered with thick dust, gray spider webs can be seen everywhere, in the corners, on the rotten wooden bed, and between the gaps in the windows.
It's been so long that the spiders have left.
Evelyn moved her mind, and the invisible wizard's hand opened the wooden window. A gust of wind rushed in, stirring up dust and cobwebs.
"This room has not been used by anyone for thirty years?"
"No, miss. I can arrange a cleaner room for you." Bai En hurriedly stepped back, choked by the dust and coughed.
"No need! I just came to take a look."
Evelin cleaned up the dust and cobwebs, and the room immediately became much cleaner.
However, what is destined to decay will eventually decay.
It is no longer the same as what I saw in the meditation mirror.

"Ebony Fort is a good place to use it as a tomb!"
Evelin said drunkenly at the banquet.
"What do you mean?" Dafen grabbed Evelynn by the collar. "Who do you want to bury? Ebony Keep can still be used for hundreds of years."
"Yes! You can live for about a hundred years, so who do you want to pass it on to?" Evelyn said without any taboos. Only she dared to say such words!
"I think I can live another two hundred years! I will definitely live longer than you. If you don't believe me, let's have a competition?" Duke Dafen had a confident expression on his face.
"Don't dream. Even if you have legendary strength, you can't live longer than a spellcaster. Your strength will decline rapidly after you are a hundred years old. After you are two hundred years old, your melee level will not be as reliable as your spellcasting level. Three hundred years old, excuse me for being blunt, those who can live to three hundred years old are all Sanctuary-level spellcasters, like me." Evelyn clasped her hands on her collarbone, looking extremely narcissistic and self-indulgent.
"What's so great about being a spellcaster in the Holy Land? A warrior with good talent can reach the Holy Land before the age of thirty!" Duke Dafen curled his lips in disdain.
"No matter how strong a warrior is, he is only like you. You are 71 years old this year, right? How many years can your Qi and blood grow? One breakthrough and one transformation, two times extend your peak period by 50 to 60 years, but what will happen after you are 100 years old? The bloodline of the Xien family will only increase your lifespan, not extend your peak period as a warrior."
"I have long given up the idea of becoming a pure warrior. It might be a good idea to practice both magic and martial arts. When martial arts reach the end, I will find another way. As long as I have combat power, I will have a source of power no matter what the situation is. Just like people use weapons. I will find ways to become stronger!"
"You have a good idea, but meditation practice is different from what you think. You need to invest a lot of time to get results. Your distracted practice, even if your mental power is deeper, cannot make up for the loss of combat power caused by the decline of your Qi and blood."
"What can we do? There is no one to succeed us!" Duke Dafen looked depressed.
She had two daughters. The eldest daughter, Evelyn, had a bad temper and was rebellious since childhood. She refused her mother's arrangement of her life and even ran away for this reason.
The second daughter was killed by the dragon riders of the Dongqi Empire in the war ten years ago.
Although she took revenge later, she only had one daughter left. It was almost impossible for her to get pregnant again at the age of nearly sixty.
Because the physiological signs have stopped. Speaking of which, their generation is really sparsely populated. Dana never married and has only one daughter. Only her cousin Diane has more descendants.
He had thirteen daughters, many of whom were outstanding talents, and successfully extended the life of the Sheen family.
This shows the importance of a son. For a family, the number of times a daughter can give birth is limited. If a daughter wants to go into politics or practice martial arts, she cannot focus all her energy on giving birth, and generally she only has two or three offspring.
There will be no restrictions on what my son says.
