[Chapter 186: Battle of Wisdom and Courage]

Laura suddenly appeared, scaring Eva so much that she almost threw the golden apple in her hand, especially the words Laura shouted, as if she had caught her and David in the act.

“You had something good to eat, but you didn’t call me!”

The next second, Laura came in front of Eva and looked at the golden apple in Eva’s hand carefully, which made Eva realize that Laura was talking about the thing she was holding, not what she had discovered.

“Is this the golden apple in Greek mythology?”

“This is indeed a golden apple, but I don’t know what effect the golden apple in Greek mythology has.” David looked at Laura, then at Eva. In order to ease Eva’s nervousness, he asked Laura: “Have you seen Gwen?”

“Yes, I just met Gwen who was about to go home.” Laura looked at David with a half-smile. It was obvious that she had already seen that the little girl had been eaten clean by David, the hungry wolf: “I heard about Helen and the golden apple from Gwen.” After looking at it

for a while, Laura looked at the fruit tree next to her, reached out and picked the golden apple that had just ripened. After holding it in front of her and smelling it, she opened her mouth and took a big bite: “This golden apple is really delicious.” She

ate the golden apple into her stomach in a few big bites, and then looked at Eva who was still holding the golden apple next to her: “Why don’t you eat it?”

“This…”

“Eat it quickly, this is a good thing. It will make your skin better after you eat it.” After saying that, she leaned close to Eva’s ear and whispered something like ‘sweat hair… smooth… spots… legs…’. Eva only listened for two seconds, and her eyes widened like light bulbs, emitting amazing brilliance.

Before Laura finished speaking, Eva couldn’t wait to put the golden apple into her mouth.

The golden apple was indeed delicious. As long as you take the first bite, you will feel like you can’t stop eating. When you come to your senses, the whole apple has been eaten into your stomach. With

the fragrance of apples all over her mouth, Eva couldn’t help but want to lift her collar to see if her skin has become better. It was Laura who reminded her: “It will take at least one day for the effect to take effect.”

“Is that so?” Eva didn’t know how good her skin would become after one day, but she felt a warm current spreading from her stomach to her whole body, and it caused a reaction in the holy light in her body. This change made Eva a little worried, fearing that it would cause some bad changes.

But before she could ask, the abnormality on her body had disappeared. She felt around and then mobilized the holy light to check, but there was nothing abnormal.

“Huh?”

Eva suddenly found that when she mobilized the holy light, it became much easier and smoother than usual.

Telling David about her discovery, David thought that the golden apple might not just make people beautiful, but perhaps it had some kind of effect of improving physical fitness?

“If that’s the case, this thing is amazing.” David looked at the newly grown golden apple again, and considered giving one to each of the partners in the town to see what changes people in different states would have after eating this thing, so as to get a more accurate conclusion. The key reason

why David was so generous was that the golden apple grew very fast. Although there was only one golden apple at a time, picking one would immediately produce new fruit, and it only took a short time for it to mature.

In this case, he didn’t need to be too stingy.

Moreover, the partners currently living in Winter Town had provided a lot of help when the town was established, so what was a little welfare?

Besides, if I send some good things, I might get another round of favorability, and who knows, I might get another round of rewards!

“Leave this to you, Eva.” All things in Winter Town are on track, and with the appointment of Weatherby Swan, the political officer, Eva will have a lot more free time.

“Okay!” Eva prepared to make a simple record of everyone’s situation, and then ask what changes there are after eating the golden apple, and draw a sufficiently accurate conclusion through comparison.

This kind of recording and analysis of intelligence data is what she is best at.

“Are there any requirements for this order?”

“No requirements, just make sure everyone can eat it… Don’t forget Addis, Alfie, and Floyd and Gareth.”

As the time spent together increased, David gradually began to break some boundaries. After gaining his trust, the locals in this world can also enjoy various special benefits.

Turning his head to look at Elias who was standing next to him, David looked at the etiquette officer from the capital trying to maintain a calm expression, but the occasional glance at him still betrayed some of his thoughts.

“As for this one that’s about to ripen…” David waited until the golden apple was ripe, picked it up, held it in his hand and looked at Elias Parker: “Give it to Elias!”

“This… Sir, this thing is too valuable.” Standing next to him and listening to the conversation between David, Laura and Eva, Elias certainly knew the function of this thing.

Even if we don’t mention the possible function of “improving physical fitness”, even if it can make people “beautiful”, it is also very attractive to ordinary people.

Since ancient times, or in any intelligent and civilized world, the pursuit of “beauty” has never disappeared, and it doesn’t distinguish between men, women, old and young!

“If you think it’s valuable, then help me for a few more years.” As time passed and winter approached, Elias’s work time in Winter Town also came to an end.

David felt that Elias was a very good etiquette officer, and he could also be used as a half-steward and assistant officer. He was reluctant to let such a talent go.

Before today, David had never explicitly proposed that he hoped Elias would continue to stay in Winter Town. This made Elias, who had already begun to consider whether to stay here, a little entangled, worried that even if he wanted to stay, Lord Glamorgan would not look down on him.

Now he can breathe a sigh of relief. The golden apple in front of him is the letter of appointment handed to him by Lord Glamorgan.

“This… is what I hope for.”

Elias accepted David’s request to stay after receiving the golden apple. After the term of this job assigned by the Kingdom of Tiran ended, he would return to the capital and then return to Winter Town to serve as the etiquette officer of Baron Glamorgan.

At that time, he was no longer the etiquette officer of the Kingdom of Tiran, but the etiquette officer of Winter Town, loyal to and serving Baron David Glamorgan.

Watching Elias eat the golden apple, when David turned around, Eva had already left to find other companions.

At this time, only Laura and himself were left on the field, as well as Elias, who always minimized his presence.

Without the “outsider”, Laura launched a surprise attack on David.

“I didn’t expect it!” She patted David’s shoulder heavily, shocking David who was caught off guard: “You actually attacked Gwen.”

“Ah… this…” David looked at Laura, and didn’t dare to say that the other party attacked him first. He just exercised his legitimate right to counterattack.

“I thought you would eat Eva first.” Laura looked at David with a strange expression: “Speaking of which, can that little girl Gwen tolerate you, a Cybertron beast?” Laura

‘s words made David a little unsure of how to answer, and he could only cough twice to cover up his embarrassment (pride?).

“I originally thought that Eva had a good physique and could help me share the burden… I didn’t expect you to leave Eva right in front of you.” Laura rolled her eyes at David speechlessly: “Be careful, Gwen is just a little girl after all.”

“…”

David, who was slow to react, suddenly realized that Laura had recently asked Jonah to make fried oysters with leeks, and onions, scallions, garlic and the like were often seen in the side dishes, and then she turned around and ran away. Was she actually planning this?

“You asked Eva to live in Glamorgan Castle before, were you kidding?”

“Of course not, I had a hard time convincing Eva to move in.” Laura also picked a room with Eva and discussed the decoration and furniture style of the room, but she didn’t have time to tell David.

She didn’t mention that she wanted Eva to help her share the pressure, but just said that as David’s secretary, Eva lived close to her and it would be more convenient for her to work.

Of course, although Eva smiled very innocently and looked easy to fool, Laura knew that Eva finally agreed not because she was really fooled by her, but because she was willing to be fooled by Laura and agreed.

David, who had figured out the actual situation, was a little confused. No matter how hard he tried, he didn’t expect it to be like this. Even though

Laura had said similar things before, he regarded them as various temptations and traps. He was still very proud that he had never been tricked!

After a long time of emotional tossing, he had been fighting wits with himself?

He even had some doubts, did he get some strange rewards when he didn’t realize it?

Shura field? Good ship? What about the hatchet?

Just when David began to suspect that he might be dreaming, Laura suddenly said: “Don’t you think it’s incredible? In fact, you can understand it if you think about it in a different direction.”

“What direction?” David looked at Laura, who was serious, and waited for the other party’s high opinion.

“You, Baron David Glamorgan, and Secretary Eva McKenna are all serving me, Countess Laura Croft!”

Laura held her head high, saying that she, Countess Laura Croft, was the real boss. She allowed David to find other women just to make David serve her better!

“…”

Looking at Laura, who looked so arrogant, David directly carried her on his shoulders and walked to the second floor, ready to let her know who is the real master of Winter Town!
