The property tax in Twilight City, another southwestern border city, is also 1%, but the business income tax is 15%.

The tax rate of Dark Eagle City established by Lei Te is slightly lower, but the tax rate can be adjusted continuously in the future. Dark Eagle City has a lot of work to do in the early stage, and a low tax rate is a necessary means to attract foreign investment.

The father and son then added some more details, and Riley went downstairs holding his notebook, looking thoughtful.

Ruilai is the chief administrator of Dark Eagle City. Ever since Dark Eagle City was established and gradually gained momentum, there is basically no need for him to go out for business. Working hard to create a perfect business environment in the city is something he needs to concentrate on right now.

Rhett was very confident in Riley.

After Riley left, he returned to the room and admired the sky outside the window.

With nothing to do, I continued writing Panlong for a while, and finally sat on the bed and meditated.

Half a month later.

early morning.

In the first floor hall of Dark Rock Castle, Rhett had just come down from upstairs and sat at the dining table to enjoy breakfast.

He looked around at the empty chairs, which were in stark contrast to the sumptuous breakfast on the table. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really quiet today. It's ok that Taylors isn't here, but why isn't Raylai here either? There's only Tucker and Vanessa left... the two of you?"

At the long dining table, only Tucker and Vanessa sat on Rhett's left. After Rhett sat down, Tucker slapped his forehead and said in annoyance:

"Oh, I forgot! Father, Rayleigh asked me to tell you yesterday that he has been studying alchemy recently and has reached a critical point. He will stay in the Alchemy Tower for two days, and Klina will go with him."

Vanessa, wearing a loose green coat, rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, Tucker, when will you change your carelessness? I really hope our children won't inherit this trait..."

Rhett smiled, said nothing, and took a sip of hot milk.

After breakfast, Rhett rode on the Fire Grid, feeling the howling cold wind, all the way to the Alchemy Tower.

First, I went to the magic plant cultivation field.

The frost pine tree has grown to a height of more than ten meters. Its leaves are oval in shape, and the ice-blue color even has a faint halo in the winter. The white lines are fine and complex, and the light blue trunk is thick and solid, but the branches above have many obvious signs of being broken, and they were taken down to be used by the ranger team to make longbows for apprentices.

The frost pine tree is now over five years old. It is tough and has a certain degree of elasticity. The bow made of this material just meets the strength requirements of a first-level knight.

Another type of tree, the inferior magic plant rock iron tree, has grown for half a year and, with the blessing of the sand elves, is actually more than a year old. At this time, the trunk is as thick as a human calf and has many slender branches.

The rest of the water magic plants have also been blessed by the snow elf Nina. After three years of changes, the effect is in sharp contrast to the first blessing. After careful comparison and observation by Rhett, they are enjoying a growth acceleration of about 2.3 times.

In a pool in the center, frost sunflowers are in bud, about to bloom, and will produce another round of ice crystal seeds next year.

Everything indicates a bright future!

After a quick inspection, Rhett left the magic plant cultivation field with satisfaction.

Alchemy Tower.

Just as Rhett climbed the stairs to the second floor, a curtain of light appeared in front of him.

[Family member's secondary occupation advanced, destiny value +5]

Huh? Lei Te paused for a moment, raised his lips slightly, and continued to go upstairs.

Boom boom boom

Knocked on Henk's room.

It was Henk who opened the door. When he saw Leiter, he greeted him warmly: "Good morning, Lord. You came at the right time. Ruilai just made a bottle of low-grade poison and has not had time to test it yet."

Lei Te walked in and smiled in surprise: "Really? That's so lucky!"

Henk shook his head quickly:

"This is not luck. Master Ruilai is smart and talented in alchemy. With his long-term accumulation and unremitting efforts over the past few days, it is natural for him to achieve such an achievement."

Then he walked back and continued, "If this potion passes the test and there is no problem, Master Ruilai will be a formal alchemist from now on!"

"No, this is all thanks to this alchemy manual. It has brought me a lot of inspiration and enlightenment." Ruilai stretched, a habit he learned from his father, and said with a smile: "What my father said makes sense. Standing on the shoulders of giants, we can see farther!"

Henk's eyes lit up: "Standing on the shoulders of giants...can we see farther?!

This is a great sentence, you are worthy of being called Lord!"

"Ahem, okay, let's test the effect of this bottle of medicine. I can't wait to see the result!" Rhett pretended to be surprised, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

"No problem!" Henk came to Ruilai and watched Ruilai personally use a container similar to a funnel to pour the liquid in the crucible into the reagent bottle, then leaned forward and sniffed it gently, commenting: "The color and taste are basically the same, and the only thing left is to test the actual effect!"

Henk took the reagent bottle in his hand and led the two to an adjacent room.

A dazed fire-maned dog was lying on the ground, covered in wounds and blood. Its mental state was extremely poor, and it was obviously acting as a guinea pig in the experiment.

This fire-mane dog is only at the first level, which is just right for testing the effects of poison.

Henk strode forward, unscrewed the stopper of the potion bottle, and was about to pour it into the monster's wound, but was interrupted by Rhett.

"Wait, Henk!" There was an inexplicable light in Rhett's eyes.

"Hmm?" Henk turned his head and asked in confusion, "Anything else?"

"The experiment on the potion is temporarily suspended. I'm leaving for a while and will continue when I come back." Henk showed a trace of doubt between his eyebrows. Although he didn't know why the lord did this, he agreed without hesitation:

"No problem, we'll be waiting for you here."

Lei Te was thinking as he left the Alchemy Tower: "Three years ago, I took my three sons to hunt in the Dark Eagle Branch. When Thales was still an ordinary person, I used long hair to stab the beast, or threw stones, etc., to kill the beast with the help of external objects. In the end, it was determined that Thales himself had harvested the beast, and successfully obtained the fate value. So poisoning should also be counted as one of them.

So, can we let Dick, who is now three years old, hold the poison in his hand and sprinkle it on the seriously injured and dying monster that is being controlled?"

After thinking about the feasibility of the plan, Leiter felt that there was no problem.

His eldest grandson Dick inherited Tucker's strong body. He now plays with toys in the room all day long and runs around to play. It is definitely no problem for him to get poison.

The only difficulty was getting Dick to sprinkle the poison in the designated place.

For a three-year-old child, who is in the initial stage of intellectual development, it is not easy to understand such commands, and it requires time and repeated guidance.

But no matter what, we have to do this! "As long as we succeed, we can continue to gain a lot of destiny points!"

There was an inexplicable light in Rhett's eyes!

Now, his three sons, including Thales, have become first-level magicians. Killing a second-level monster can only gain 1 point of destiny.

There is no doubt that the efficiency is quite low! But if Dick is in charge, he can get 1 destiny point by killing a secondary monster.

There is no doubt that efficiency has been greatly improved! Tucker's room.

At this time, Dick was wearing a small black jacket and running around on the ground, holding a wooden eagle in his hand and having a lot of fun.

Lei Te, who had just come in, saw this scene and smiled kindly:

"Little Dick, grandpa is here to see you."

"Father, you're here!" Tucker seemed sad, but he became cheerful when he saw Rhett coming.

He rushed forward, snatched the wooden eagle from Dick's hand, and put it into Rhett's arms, laughing: "Father, please hug Dick. I'm going to go downstairs for training."

Vanessa was a little worried: "Father, I'll follow you too. I can help you take care of Dick..."

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing can happen to Dick?" Rhett said with confidence, "I will be back with Dick in less than half an hour, Vanessa, just wait in the room."

Vanessa looked at the messy room destroyed by Dick and sighed:

"Then I'll tidy up the room first..."

Alchemy Tower.

When Rayleigh saw his father bringing Dick over, he was very surprised: "Father, why are you bringing Dick with you? Could it be that this little guy wants to celebrate with me too?"

Henk also touched his bald forehead and was equally puzzled as to why the lord was bringing a child with him.

Leiter kept smiling: "Don't forget our family tradition. Dick is three years old now. It's time to experience the feeling of beheading a strong enemy."

"This..." Riley was speechless and shrugged helplessly.

Hunk had also heard of the Green family's traditions, and seemed to understand Leiter's intention. He handed over the potion bottle thoughtfully: "Okay, Lord, do you want Dick to sprinkle the poison on the fire-mane dog's wound?"

"That's right!" Rhett took the medicine but didn't rush to give it to his grandson.

Instead, he first found a potion bottle with the same appearance, condensed some water flow, and tried to let Dick pour the liquid on the location of the firemane dog.

He conveyed his orders to Dick by words and gestures.

"Grandpa, hehe."

Dick shouted with joy, holding the bottle and splashing the liquid directly into the air without knowing why.

The liquid was scattered all over, with only a few splashes falling on the fire-mane dog.

Obviously failed.

But one failure doesn't mean anything. Rhett calmly guides Henk, stimulates his potential, and tells him to stand up again from where he fell.

Finally, after the fifth time, Dick seemed to subconsciously understand what Rhett wanted him to do.

With his tender little white hands, he tilted the medicine bottle and sprinkled the liquid smoothly and accurately on the fire-mane dog's wound.

Riley and Hunk, who were watching from the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

Rhett's eyes lit up, and he took out a small piece of cheese from his arms and fed it to Dick.

Dick ate it bit by bit with his little mouth, smacking his lips and smiling innocently.

This smile has 50% of Tucker's charm! Rhett was stunned for a moment, and quickly put the poison in Dick's hand. At the same time, he concentrated his mental power highly, and if Dick made a mistake, he would quickly stop him.

As a fifth-level magician, he is confident that he can do this easily !

Along with the spilling of the black liquid, there was a corrosive sizzling sound and a faint, powerless groan.

The Fire Mane Hound did not react at all in the previous few times, but this time when the inferior poison was splashed on it, its whole body began to tremble violently, its hair shook, and a whimpering howl came from its throat.

"Ah, Ah!" Dick was frightened by the scene in front of him. He threw the bottle in his hand away, turned his head and lay in Rhett's arms, screaming in fear.

"Haha, don't be afraid, my dear grandson!" Rhett smiled, patted Dick's back with one hand, and quickly caught the bottle with the other hand.

A curtain of light appeared smoothly before his eyes.

[Family members surpass two levels and kill the enemy, destiny value +2]

Lei Te was delighted! As expected, the enemies killed by the poison used by his grandson himself would also be counted.

After taking a sip of Dick, Rhett laughed heartily, as if he saw a brighter future.

Henk did not forget his mission. He bent down and carefully observed the condition of the Firemane Hound. Soon, he raised his head with joy and said to Rui:

"Congratulations, Master Ruilai, this bottle of withering poison has perfectly reached the lower standard!"

After hearing this, Ruilai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the liquid of the withering potion, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

Henk's heart moved, and he struck while the iron was hot:

"Master Ruilai, if you are willing to invest more energy in alchemy, you may be able to become an intermediate alchemist earlier than Master Taylors."

"Well, take your time." Riley did not show any strong desire. He liked painting more than alchemy. Besides, he also wanted to pursue the highest realm of a magician.

"Next, I'm going to try the Moonlight Potion!" Ruilai thought for a moment and said. The Moonlight Potion could help him practice, and it didn't conflict with his goal.

"No problem. I have some experience with Moonlight Potion, which should help you avoid some detours." Henk said confidently.

At this time, Rhett was holding Dick in one hand, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Hunk, how is the training of the white-eyed mouse going?

Henk couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "My Lord, more than two months have passed. The little guy and I are getting along quite well. If he's not sleeping, he'll follow me wherever I go."

Lei Te nodded, "Yes, in that case, get ready and try to subdue it later."

Henk was stunned for a moment, then said, "No problem. It seems that Thales's ice rat is also getting along well. Should we subdue it as well?"

"Don't worry, we'll take them one by one!"

Seeing this, Riley followed with interest and came to the lawn outside the alchemy tower with Rhett.

Rhett looked up at the sky and whistled! A fiery red eagle came at high speed, landed beside Rhett happily, nodded its head enthusiastically, and rubbed Rhett's thigh.
