Vicky's beautiful eyes lit up, staring at McCof with surprise and a bit of shyness, wondering how McCof knew that she loved to read novels? In the past, only Wardeg and Milton knew the secret that she loved to read novels, and she had never told anyone else.

Especially in the past two days, she witnessed the popularity of "Panlong" in the city, and she had the urge to buy it. Especially since it was the work of the Lord, she was even more curious and wanted to take a look.

But unfortunately, she was busy with patrol and security duties, and the Doton Chamber of Commerce was the only one selling it in the whole city. In addition, as it was the first work released by a newcomer, the price was relatively low, resulting in a huge crowd of people rushing to buy it, and it was impossible to get a number.

Originally, she thought that she wouldn't be able to grab a copy in a few days, so she asked her connections to get one for her. As a result, someone just happened to deliver it to her. She was really surprised.

Vicky held the smooth cardboard cover in her hands. It felt cold to the touch, but a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Ha, Rhett is my good brother. There's his autograph on this. I asked for it myself!" McCoff smiled complacently. It was the first time he felt that Rhett was so useful.

"Really?" Vicky exclaimed again.

In this way, the "Panlong" in your hands is no longer an ordinary novel, but also has a certain collection value.

Vicky quickly flipped through the pages to check and confirm that everything was correct, then took a deep breath.

"Mycroft, this gift is too valuable, far more than the drink I treated you to." Vicky looked straight at Mycroft.

McCoff asked back: "Vicky, didn't you buy me a drink even though I didn't give you any gifts?"

This question left Vicky speechless.

Vicky played with her long red hair and said with a hint of charm: "Okay, McCoff. When I finish my patrol tonight, if you are free, I will treat you to a high-end restaurant.

Of course, if you don’t have time, you don’t have to go.”

Mycroft smiled and saluted as a gentleman: "I am honored to receive Miss Vicky's invitation."

"hehe."

Vicky gave him a charming smile, looked meaningfully, and turned away.

McCof glanced at Vicky's graceful back, touched his chin, and his heart was filled with a long-lost feeling.

On the way back, I felt like I was flying in the wind and I was in a good mood the whole time.

Walking through the grass beside the woods, listening to the cicadas chirping.

The sunlight filtered through the swaying branches, casting mottled shadows on Mycroft's face.

The grass was so soft, and the birds today were more innocent and lovely than ever. McCof smiled and scattered a handful of bread crumbs left over from the morning, attracting a group of birds to scramble for the food.

He continued to walk slowly, preparing to return to the gravel path in front, go back to the sub-fort, and change into a handsome dress.

He was enjoying his date that night in his mind, his eyes narrowed slightly, but suddenly, Mycroft tripped over a mushroom under his feet.

He staggered, unable to stand still and fell forward. But he was tripped by a mushroom again, oh no, this time he saw clearly that it was a stone with earth element lingering, which was hidden in the haystack, and he was completely tripped...

"Damn it, Rhett, it must be you!" Mycroft fell to the ground.

The sound of shouting and cursing rang out on the grass.

Mycroft looked annoyed. He stood up with his hands on the grass, picked up his hat, and looked around:

"Rhett! Who else could it be but you? You would play such a stupid trick."

Rustle, rustle

Amid the sound of swaying branches, a familiar figure pushed aside the branches and walked out of the forest. He crossed his arms over his chest, looked McCov up and down, shook his head and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I think you are too careless when walking. You even stepped on such an obvious stumbling block."

Mycroft said unhappily as he sorted out his slightly messy clothes:

"Nonsense, you are a fifth-level magician, who can detect the fluctuations in your spellcasting..."

Leiter shrugged: "Really? But I only used level three. I saw that you were getting carried away, and the smile on your face was almost reaching your ears..."

After that, he looked at McCovey with a joking look: "Don't I understand you? What good things have you encountered? Share it with me."

Mycroft blushed, "Ahem, nothing, it's just that the weather is nice today.

Oh, by the way, can you... give me another copy of "Panlong"? "

Rhett's expression suddenly became strange, and he looked at Mycroft up and down: "Why do you want "Panlong" again? You told me yourself that you are not interested in novels, and would rather appreciate the scenery than hold a book and read it all the time, right?"

"Uh..." Mycroft paused. He remembered that something like this happened, but it didn't bother him. He said seriously:

"So, I also want to thank you, my good brother Lei Te. Your "Panlong" made me feel the charm of novels, so please give me another copy."

"Really?" A hint of suspicion flashed across Rhett's eyes. He looked at his old friend carefully and always felt that something was not right.

Suddenly, he remembered that in the simulation, Mycroft and Vicky seemed to be getting together...

Many associations come to mind.

"You... weren't going on a date with Vicky just now, were you?" Rhett blinked and asked strangely.

Mycroft's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened slightly: "You, how do you know? Besides, we haven't even had anything yet, so how can there be a date?"

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Mycroft asked, "Are you cheating me?"

Lei Te suddenly realized that his guess was almost right, and he said in a profound manner: "My subordinates talked to me about it before, and your relationship is not ordinary.

However, this is a good thing. You have been single for so many years, and being self-reliant for a long time is not a solution..."

McCoff was stunned for a moment, looking at Rhett's malicious smile, he suddenly reacted and shouted angrily: "Go to hell!"

Then, McCovey seemed to remember something, quickly calmed down, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Vicky likes to read novels, so I gave her the Panlong you gave me. But then again, your book is completely popular in Dark Eagle City, and it will probably explode throughout the southwest border in no time.

And many of your subordinates are obsessed with "Panlong" and want to worship their lord's masterpiece..."

Lei Te showed a look of having expected this, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have already arranged that each of my subordinates will have my "Panlong", and it will be paid out with their salary at the end of the month."

"Well, it's a good thing I delivered it early..." This thought popped up in Mycroft's mind.

He looked at Leiter, his lips curled up: "That's right, you should be like me, caring more about your colleagues. I just distributed the copy of "Panlong" in advance for you, so you have to give me another copy."

"Like you?" Rhett glanced at Mycroft. "Well, I'll give it to Vicky myself next time."

McCaffrey: Jokes aside, as a good friend of the other party, Rhett sincerely congratulated McCaffrey on his first spring.

Then, the two chatted briefly, and Mycroft hurried back to the deputy fort.

Taking advantage of relatively peaceful times, I try to comprehend the mysteries.

He had no talent for the mysteries of condensation, so he could only hope that his understanding of the mysteries of dispersion would deepen, thus prompting him to clear the fog.

The sky was filled with yellow sand all around.

Leiter held his breath and concentrated, trying to spread his mental power evenly, so as to sense as many laws and trajectories in the elemental ocean as possible.

Gradually, Rhett became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Rhett sat in his room, closed his eyes and felt the mystery of the surroundings, and suddenly he had a different feeling in his heart.

He opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, and walked to the window to think:

“My understanding is too shallow. Although I have made some small gains in the past three months, they are insignificant and my understanding of the mysteries of dispersion is almost stagnant.

However, as long as it is progress, it is a good thing. At the current level, these little insights may lead to qualitative changes..."

After a long period of seclusion, you need to relax.

Lei Te gently patted the books on the desk. They were the first to sixth parts of Panlong, with an average of 500,000 to 600,000 words in each part.

There are actually only three volumes available to the public now. As for the remaining three volumes, when Rhett and Carlton discussed it last time, they planned to release them at the end of the year to whet readers' appetite.

But it can't be postponed for too long. First, it will consume the enthusiasm of readers, and second, it will waste Lei Te's time cost - he can't just copy one book from Panlong. An excellent plagiarist must copy several books...

"Sir, President Carlton is here to visit you. Please wait in the lobby on the first floor."

Sveta's voice came from outside the room.

Lei Te had sensed it long ago, and replied calmly: "Wait a moment, I'll be down right away."

"Understood, I'll reply right away." Sveta responded.

After adjusting his clothes in front of the mirror, Rhett left the room leisurely.

Carlton was waiting in the lobby, wearing a loose coat and white bloomers. Although he looked rather bloated, it concealed his fat body. When he saw Rhett appear from the corner, his eyes lit up and he smiled as he walked over.

"Count Rhett, your temperament is as calm as ever." Carlton said with a smile.

"Haha, President Carlton, you don't have to be polite to me. What do you want to talk to me about today?" Rhett smiled back and walked to the dining table while speaking.

Carlton pulled open a chair for Leiter and said, "It's still related to "Panlong". Thanks to you, there are so many people from all over the country looking for us to cooperate with us. There are endless people visiting us every day. If it weren't for the decision from above not to cooperate with others, I'm afraid it would have been sent to all parts of the country long ago.

However, please rest assured that we will be responsible for helping you with issuance and operation, and few institutions can compare with us in long-term returns.

We are currently in the stage of accumulating fame and building up popularity, and have not yet put out any advertisements. But it will probably be ready by the end of the year, and by then, the revenue will be able to reach a new level again.”

Lei Te listened and nodded without expressing any opinion.

Carlton was very excited and continued, "At present, the southwest border has been completely covered. The next step is the Royal City. And then from the Royal City, it will radiate to the whole country.

I heard from the people above that the books in the Royal City are almost finished printing and will be available for sale soon!"

Lei Te took a sip of the hot fruit tea, swallowed a mouthful of sweetness, and said:

“President Carlton, since I have chosen to cooperate with your Dalton Chamber of Commerce, I naturally have great confidence in your strength.

If you manage "Panlong" well for me, then... I may still consider you for the second work..."

"Next one?" Carlton's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Don't worry, you are our top customer now, you can ask for anything you want."

"Oh? You can make any request?" Rhett put down his teacup and smiled meaningfully.

Carlton's expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "Well, if Earl Rhett needs anything, please tell me, and I will do my best to satisfy it."

Lei Te thought for a moment: "Well, I do have a request, but it shouldn't be a problem for you..."

Carlton took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "Please tell me, Earl Leiter, our Doton Chamber of Commerce has a deep foundation and will definitely find ways to satisfy you."

In this regard, Rhett did not think that the other party was arrogant. As the cooperation between the two deepened, he learned not long ago that the family behind Carlton was one of the founders of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce. The elders of the family held high positions and important posts in the Chamber of Commerce. As a direct relative, Carlton undoubtedly had much more resources than ordinary branch presidents.

"I want to know about an ancient legend - the history of mermen." Rhett stared at the other person.

Just knowing the historical information made Carlton feel relieved. The Doton Chamber of Commerce had a rich collection of ancient books, and some unrevealed mysteries were also included and stored in the Chamber of Commerce. Carlton learned about this from his family elders.

He replied seriously, "Please rest assured. I will collect information on this matter when I return. You have found the right person. If it were any other ordinary Chamber of Commerce president, he might not be able to get this done for you."

"Thank you very much."

Carlton nodded. "You're welcome, but I'd like to ask, why does Earl Leiter want to know about the history of the murlocs?"

"Looking for inspiration for creation, and I am also very interested in these kinds of strange legends!" Rhett said with a smile, using the excuse he had thought of long ago.

"So that's it!" Carlton suddenly realized and believed it firmly.

"By the way, I also want to know the secret of the resurrection of the dead..."

Rhett's sudden words made Carlton's pupils shrink.

He opened his eyes wide and asked in doubt, "Resurrection of the dead? Are you looking for some novels about the resurrection of the dead?"

"No, it's the real rumors and secrets about the resurrection of the dead." Rhett's eyes were like the deep sea, staring straight at Carlton.

"This...I'm afraid it's too difficult. I've never heard of the secret of resurrecting the dead." Carlton took a breath and felt it was unbelievable. "Is this also for the purpose of finding inspiration?"

"That's right, President Carlton, just do your best." Rhett pulled out a thin notebook from his arms and slapped it on the desk. "Help me complete these two tasks, especially the second one. I will also look for your cooperation on this book!"

Carlton was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the strange book that was tilted in front of him. It said: Blasphemy! Two-in-one, sorry for the long wait. Thanks are in the "Author's Words"
