Chapter 620: Things About the Lanqi Family

The next day.

Wilford's new house in the eastern part of Ikerite city-state.

In the spacious and bright restaurant on the first floor, the early morning sunlight shines through the window lattices, carrying the outline of the leaves outside the window, and softly falls on every corner.

Occasionally, a summer morning breeze blows through the courtyard, bringing with it the delicate fragrance of a mixture of various flowers from the distant garden.

Today's breakfast at the Wilford family is different from usual.

On one side of the dining table, in addition to the head of the family, Noe, there was another special figure.

"Dad, can you give me some money?"

“No!”

The head of the family, Noe Wilford, who was sitting at the head of the table, had the same expression as usual, but when his eyes fell on Lanqi, he unconsciously revealed some complicated emotions.

Noe got angry whenever he thought about it, because of this kid, his account numbers had dropped rapidly over the past year. Now the company's cross-border trade had shrunk by more than half, and the purchase of a new house in Ikerite was another huge expense.

If it weren't for the fact that Lanqi himself was very successful in his studies, he would be no different from a prodigal son and a gangster!

"All right."

Lanqi knew that he had already taken a lot of money from his father in the past year, but finally he could not get any more.

But he is really short of money now.

Apart from a bonus he received from the Shadow World Management Association of the Southern Continent after completing the seventh-level Shadow World, and a small amount of savings left from before, he actually had no other money.

He did bring back quite a few rare packaged magic cards from the Northern Continent, but he did not declare them when passing through the Southern Continent customs, which implied that they were for his own use. If he traded them, not only would it be troublesome to list them on the shelves, but he would also have to pay a huge amount of taxes.

What's more, these cards are indeed his backup fuel. He will be going to the Kremer Empire soon and doesn't want to sell them.

Next he went to the Person Kingdom. He wanted to buy auxiliary materials for the production of [Kaliera's Shadow Weaving Record], which would cost a lot of money.

Although he had a lot of salary and privileges as a platinum card maker invigilator, and also had great discounts when purchasing materials from the South Continent Card Makers Association, it would be better for him to have as much money as possible before going to the Person Kingdom.

I can't just go to Hyperion and tell her, "Huprine, I'm out of money, can you lend me some money?" That would feel too wrong.

Her Duke's family was indeed rich, but the money was all in Duke Migaiya's account and could not be withdrawn before inheritance. Her own money was saved by her frugal life since she was a child. It could be said that she lived a more frugal life than most noble ladies.

In order to make money, Lanqi started accepting card-making commissions.

Of course, the compensation given by the president's sister was quite generous, which was completely worthy of his price as a platinum-level card maker.

But there are not many orders of this kind, and if the person is not familiar to him, he will not help to make exclusive secrets such as transformation cards.

The dining table was carved from fine mahogany and coated with a light lacquer, reflecting the silverware, wine glasses and Lanqi's pensive expression on the table.

While he was thinking, the breakfast delicacies brought from the kitchen gradually filled the table.

"How's school been lately?"

Noe gestured for Lanci to eat, picked up the cutlery in an orderly manner, and asked Lanci.

"After the second year, I have a lot less time. There are not so many affairs of the student union. Every day I just need to go to Professor Bolaio's workshop to study with the professor. I may be a little busy in the past few days."

Lanci said as he extended his fork towards Wilford's dish.

Today is Friday and tomorrow is the weekend.

After I got home yesterday, I helped Miss Florence make a card that transforms her into a teenager. When we go to the old liberal arts building later, we just need to go to the third floor and leave the card in the student union room.

Lanqi has not returned home since returning from the Shadow World.

Dad and his family moved from the border of South Wantina to the capital Ikerite for temporary residence. Their residence is located further east of the Cat Boss Restaurant, closer to the commercial district of the South Continent Card Makers Association located near the Erica Magic Tower and Hutton Pedestrian Plaza on the east side of the capital Ikerite.

So after Ranch left the student union room last night, he went straight back to Wilford's house.

Since Professor Bolao told him that he only needed to arrive at the laboratory before 9:30, Lanqi could now have breakfast leisurely at home and then return to school at his leisure.

As for the poet of great love, she had the key to Lanqi's dormitory. She did not leave the school with Lanqi yesterday. After get off work in the laboratory, she went directly back to the card-making workshop in Lanqi's dormitory. Presumably, she also ran to the Magic Engineering Institute early this morning.

"Very good. Seeing your current state really makes me sigh."

Noe glanced to one side of the restaurant and couldn't help but sigh.

After seeing that Lanqi did not drink excessively, a new wine cabinet was installed in the restaurant of his new home, which displayed fine wines from all over the southern continent.

Every time this bastard got drunk and had no memory at all, Hans told me that he was particularly happy because he shot a pigeon that day, and he accidentally broke into the Church of the Goddess of Fate and knocked a gem off the statue, causing a lot of trouble for the priests.

Fortunately, the kind and noble priests did not take his mistake seriously, saying that it was also a kind of fate.

While the father and son were chatting, new program sounds came from the home magic device that Noe had opened earlier in the restaurant.

"Hetton Times Channel, today's Good Morning Music is a song by Lanf Wilford, a newly signed artist from the Ikrit Academy of Magic Engineering."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The spoon in Lanqi's hand trembled.

Then, the familiar and sweet voice began to sound in Wilford's dining room -

"My dear, you are so cute today~"

"You're so cute that I want to eat you instead of breakfast~"

"The words that are hard to express can now be conveyed to you without reservation~"

"Wilford, isn't that the same as our family name?"

At first, Noe thought it was Lanky Wilford.

"Are songs like this popular among young people nowadays? But the voice sounds a bit like Miss Tata."

Noe listened to a few words and commented.

"Just being close to you makes my heart beat faster and sweetness wash over me~"

"I am intoxicated by your lovely appearance. Before the memory begins to fade, I want to stay by your side forever like a lucid dream~"

"It's unlikely. Miss Tata's tone of voice is totally different from this."

Hans, the butler who came over with a plate, frowned slightly, listened for a moment and then answered.

He was just passing by.

He put the plate down and left again.

"Oh~ I feel like I'm about to suffocate, but you are the air, I can't wait even a moment~"

"I think it's Miss Tata's voice."

Noe put down his cutlery, closed his eyes and savored the food before speaking.

"Lanqi, why are you silent?"

Noe suddenly looked at Lanci, who was sitting stiffly at the dining table.
