Henk frowned and looked at Felix: "Is your information accurate? Is such a remote place as the southwest border worthy of the planning of the Saint Domain strongmen?"

Felix shrugged. "Who knows? I just heard it from others. Maybe others are taking advantage of the mentality you described."

Lei Te frowned. This matter had spread to the royal city? It was a bit beyond his expectation.

He still remembered that Avalon, the commander-in-chief of the Canyon Defense Line, had said that the matter of the traitor had been reported to the royal family, but the news still spread out. It was like a behind-the-scenes pusher, stirring in the fog.

He suddenly felt that the situation was becoming confusing.

Fortunately, the most recent simulation did not reveal anything wrong. After thinking about it for a while, Rhett put the matter behind him for the time being.

The three of them sat down and began to chat casually.

Rhett and Henk asked about the specific situation of the royal city. It's not that they knew everything, but they didn't know as much as Felix.

Felix explained slowly, his eyes filled with admiration and regret.

Tanlu Royal City is an extremely prosperous city, but beneath this gorgeous appearance lies a relatively cold and ruthless atmosphere.

Although he was an alchemist there and his life was much better than that of ordinary people, he was still overwhelmed by various pressures.

Heavy alchemy tasks, meditation practice, date with the girl of your dreams (consumption is inevitable), pressure from the housing prices in the royal city, etc...

Facing these for a long time, I can't help feeling a little desperate.

He was a low-level alchemist, not a rare talent in the royal city, and he did not feel any attention. The only advantage was that compared to other places, he had better conditions to promote his alchemy to improve.

But the same thing.

He was not the only one who made progress. Most alchemists were making progress, which led to a price war. They spent more energy in exchange for a small increase in income.

Recounting his past experiences in person, Felix felt only sadness and distress. If it weren't for the motivation of revenge, he would have collapsed long ago.

Henk was filled with emotion and patted Felix's thigh: "Brother, you have worked hard these years. It must be difficult for you to work hard in the royal city alone."

Felix looked at the empty teacup. As he just talked, all the resentment that had accumulated over the years was swept away, and he felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

"Are you planning on going back next?" Henk held the handle of the teapot and filled Felix's cup with tea.

Felix fell into deep thought: "I asked for a long vacation before leaving..."

"So nothing valuable was left there?" Henk asked again.

"Yes, the alchemical instruments I used there were all provided by the Chamber of Commerce or organizations." Felix nodded.

Henk put his arm around Felix's neck and smiled, "Then why do you want to go back? The land in the royal city is very expensive. If you want to buy a house there, you may not be able to use money, you also need connections. Even if you work hard for your whole life, you won't be able to achieve the requirements, right?"

Henk was telling the truth, and Felix nodded generously, "You're right."

Rhett's expression remained unchanged. It seemed that without him saying anything, Henk had already taken the initiative to help him conquer his brother.

"That's right." Henk showed a satisfied smile on his face and waved his hand, "What do you think of the environment here and this tall tower building?"

Felix looked up at the white ceiling and thought: "Well, it's good. I have seen paintings of circular towers in the royal city. This tower looks a bit like a circular tower."

"So you might as well not go back to the royal city. Stay in the southwest border, in our hometown and homeland." Henk looked straight at Felix.

Felix felt a little moved and fell silent.

"If you don't know where to go, come to the Alchemy Tower!

I think the Lord would not mind an alchemist whose alchemy level is second only to mine joining us." Henk advised sincerely.

Lei Te was startled, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Dark Eagle City is eager to recruit talents. Felix, you are a talent who has wandered in the Royal City. I welcome you to join us."

Felix was touched by the sincere look.

Finally, after a few more sincere invitations from Rhett, Felix was completely shaken.

"My lord, I am willing to serve you!" Felix whispered.

He saw it clearly and realized that if he had to stay on the southwest border, there was nothing safer or more prestigious than working under Rhett.

Coupled with the special relationship between the two, there was no reason to refuse.

Anyway, he didn't leave any property in the royal city. He went to the royal city for revenge rather than to take root in the royal city.

As for the female companions in the royal city, well, they are just for their own needs. They only get together when they need to release themselves, and at other times they are busy with their own things, and there is no emotional foundation to speak of.

Rhett arranged Felix's room to be next to Henk's, and the alchemy laboratories were also next to each other.

Everything was arranged, and Rhett left the room.

"Hunk, explain clearly what you mean by an alchemist second only to you. I have studied in the royal city, so my level is definitely better than yours. I advise you to find an opportunity to explain this to the Lord."

"Felix, you should be humble when doing anything. What's the point of the royal city? You have surrendered to the Lord now. I will show you what this is. To be honest, your level is not worth mentioning in my eyes..."

Not long after we left, we heard a loud noise.

Rhett left the room, heard the conversation between the two, and shook his head with a smile.

According to the previous plan, the matter about the elves will be kept secret from Felix for the time being.

He currently has no urgent need for cooperation with the so-called wind elf owner.

Leaving along the gravel path, Rhett leisurely walked back to the manor, smelling the fragrance of a wide variety of flowers.

Passing by the training ground, Rhett took a casual glance and happened to see Eunice with her head down, as if accepting a reprimand from McCoff.

"Unika, it's not a wonderful thing for you to fall in love too early at your age."

Mycroft shook his head and sighed, looking at Eunice's wine-red hair, and said earnestly:

"Your talent is not as good as Lawrence's. It can even be said that the gap is far. He was able to break through from an apprentice to a second-level knight in just two years, and you should be grateful for being able to become a first-level magician."

At this time, Eunice raised her head weakly: "But what does this matter?"

"Of course it matters!" Mycroft said unhappily:

"How long have you known Lawrence? How long have you two actually been together? How much have you experienced together? Not only have you not gone through hardships together, but you have also experienced very little together, right?

How can you see his true nature and what kind of person he is?"

"I don't think Lawrence is a bad person!" Eunice pouted.

"I didn't say Lawrence is a bad guy." Mycroft smiled and said meaningfully: "But the fireflies attracted by the light cannot see the face behind the light..."

Eunice blinked, feeling so profound and confused.

"My good student, I am not against your pursuit of love. I just want to warn you that in love, impulse often leads people off the right track.

Before you become immature and wise enough, the best thing to do is to spend your time and energy on yourself."

McCaffrey really tried to fulfill his responsibilities as a mentor and gave earnest advice.

Unica didn't know how to respond.

McCoff continued to talk nonstop: "In fact, I have long noticed that you are attracted by Lawrence's charm. It is normal for a young girl to be in love.

The most important thing about love is that it is a two-way journey.

What I have always seen is your initiative and your pursuit, but I have not seen the dazzling light that is concentrated on you like a stage light.

That's why I won't allow you to take leave to go to Dark Eagle City today.

You must be looking for that boy Lawrence, right?"

Eunice seemed to understand, and pouted, "Mr. McCoff, you already figured it out a long time ago. I won't go."

Hearing this, Mycroft smiled widely, "Haha, only if you love yourself and love life, can you love others better."

Eunice was a 14-year-old girl with no life experience. The more she listened, the more confused she became. She said with a bitter face, "I'd better practice water polo first."

Then he walked aside and began to practice magic seriously on the target.

McCovey watched for a while, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and he slowly walked away from the training ground.

"Hey, Mycroft, you're quite good at teaching students."

A sudden voice sounded from behind.

Mycroft hadn't noticed it just now, but when he heard it, he turned his head suddenly:

"Rhett? Were you eavesdropping?

Oh, sneaking around is not a bad habit for a lord to have."

"Who is eavesdropping? I'm just walking in my own territory and taking a look to see who is saying bad things about my talented knight." Rhett said with a pout.

Mycroft smiled, stroked his beard, and said calmly, "I didn't say anything bad about Lawrence. In fact, I was helping him.

They will all be your loyal subordinates. If the two of them don't make it to the end, this result will not be a good thing for each other or for you, right?

I’m helping you!”

"Oh, so I should thank you?"

"We are brothers, it would be too polite to thank you. Why don't you treat me to a drink at the Nightingale Tavern?" said Mycroft with a smile.

"Lawrence should be asked to invite you." Rhett rolled his eyes.

In the following training, Rhett focused his main energy on comprehending the mysteries.

He did not forget that in the simulation, he mentioned that during the battle with Hogus, he successfully realized the mystery of condensation at the point of life and death.

For Rhett, this was both unexpected and reasonable.

The mysteries are related to each other, just like there are connections between all things, whether near or far, sparse or rare. The scattered mystery and condensed mystery in the earth-related mystery are two extremely special types.

When one party's perception reaches a certain level, the mysterious rules will help to comprehend the laws of another party. Just like walking along the equator, you will eventually see the scenery that you turned your back on at the beginning.

After nearly two weeks of comprehension, Rhett had made no progress in understanding the mysteries of the earth element. Not only did he have no idea about the mystery of condensation, he also seemed to be making no progress in the mystery of dispersion.

This is all normal. The three-foot-thick ice does not form in just one day.

The accumulation process is often calm but difficult.

On a large grassland.

A convoy was driving slowly on the soft grass.

As they were approaching Dark Eagle City, Carlton took the initiative to ask the knights to slow down their pace.

He looked at the tall and wide city wall in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of an earth magician, this city wall is integrated with the ground, as if it grew out of the ground. The color is natural and it is newer and wider than the one in Twilight City."

A knight in the following said: "Yes, there is no end to the city walls on both sides. The area of ​​this city is probably much larger than Twilight City."

"Hehe, that's as it should be. A fifth-level magician, and a lord who will achieve greater success in the future, it's only natural for him to own a big city." Carlton narrowed his eyes.

Another knight said, "President, it seems that you are quite optimistic about Count Leiter?"

"Haha, of course, the most important thing for a businessman is a long-term investment vision. This southwestern border is destined to be extraordinary because of Earl Rhett!" Carlton said softly.

The knights around all looked at each other in surprise that the president had such a high rating for Count Rhett.

At the gate of Dark Eagle City.

Carlton's shrewd eyes glanced at the knights guarding the door, mainly observing the guard strength.

There was only one second-level knight, and even some apprentice knights.

He commented silently, thinking that Count Rhett's strength and title were improving too quickly, but his foundation still hadn't caught up.

Even the guard force of Twilight City is stronger than that of Dark Eagle City in front of them.

Suddenly.

He caught a glimpse of a knight closest to the city gate, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Is it him?!"

Lawrence's handsome face, which was childish yet heroic, immediately evoked memories in Carlton's mind.

He vaguely remembered that he had seen that knight the last time he came to Young Eagle Town to deliver aquatic monsters to Count Rhett. At that time, his strength was obviously only that of an apprentice knight...

As a businessman, I always have an excellent memory for people.

Da da da

The sound of horse hooves suddenly became more frequent.

Carlton simply showed his ID and entered. When he passed by Lawrence, he said, "Hello, handsome knight."

"You are...President Carlton?" Lawrence's memory was not very clear, but he had a vague impression.

"Yes, we have met once. You look very similar to one of my nephews. Can I ask your age?"

Lawrence was surprised. He held his sword and shield and responded, "After my birthday this year, I will be 16 years old. What can I do for you?"

"Haha, what a young genius..." Carlton praised him generously.

He walked to a carriage at the back, took out a golden sword, and came to Lawrence in person.

"I believe you must be highly regarded by Count Leiter. As his good friend, this sword should be my gift to you."
