Back to the lobby on the fifth floor, the room was lit with dim candlelight.

Rhett poured himself a glass of red wine, enjoying the night atmosphere and taking a sip.

He glanced at the three boxes still in the dim corner.

He checked it in the afternoon and found a box of gold coins, roughly estimated to contain more than 400 pieces.

Rhett estimated that the other box of crystals and gems was worth nearly a thousand gold coins.

Overall, it is worth a lot of money. Eagle Town is not short of money now. He plans to exchange it for more Moonlight Potion and Boiling Potion next time he goes to Twilight City.

Unfortunately, when Rhett checked another box of magic plant seeds, he found that they had been corroded by time and had completely lost their vitality.

"What a pity. After hundreds of years, without special maintenance methods, it is really difficult for ordinary magic plant seeds to survive." Rhett shook his head and slowly walked towards his room.

On the reddish-brown desk, an antique diary was lying upside down, flush with the edge of the desk.

The diary is made of animal skin, and it is better quality monster skin, which is easy to preserve.

So it looks very thick, but in fact it is only about twenty pages.

Lei Te took it in his hand and quickly read only the beginning in the afternoon, without understanding most of the content.

He only knew what had been narrated previously, a brief history of the family's decline as recorded by an earl.

In Rhett's eyes, at that historical stage, the decline of the Earl's family had little to do with himself.

The problem mainly lies outside!

The fate of the king and the nobles are closely linked, they prosper together and suffer together.

The laziness of the upper echelons of the Ancient Dan Kingdom and the ferocity of the orcs are enough to cause a kingdom to slowly die until it falls apart.

All the main members of the Engel family, whether magicians or knights, embarked on the road of escape, heading towards the East Blue coast.

As for the ordinary people in the family, they were abandoned at that time in order to improve the efficiency of escape.

It is difficult for Rhett to judge this. If the orcs really press forward step by step, it would be a delusion to take everyone into consideration.

"The Engel family? Hmm, I have no impression. I guess they met with disaster during their escape. Otherwise, so many things would not have been left underground in Young Eagle Town." Rhett frowned. If they were some famous figures in the history of the Ancient Dan Kingdom, Rhett might still have an impression of them.

But from the information obtained from the diary, although the Engel family is also a count family, it has never been heard of.

Reading late at night, the night breeze blowing.

As he turned the pages of the diary, he saw what the Engel family saw and experienced during their escape, and how they finally arrived at the town of Young Eagle.

After obtaining the follow-up information in the diary, a strange light gradually appeared in Lei Te's eyes.

…

the next day.

As usual, Leiter went downstairs to have breakfast.

"Good morning!"

"Oh, Riley, you look great in that hat today. It suits you so well."

As soon as Rhett went downstairs, he saw Riley sitting in his seat. He was wearing a blue top hat with three small crystals embedded in the brim, which perfectly highlighted his elegance.

"Really? Thank you for the compliment, father!" Rilai smiled.

"But Riley, don't you feel awkward wearing a hat while eating breakfast?" Tucker muttered, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand: "Let me help you take it off."

"Oh no, Tucker, take your greasy big hands away, I'll do it myself!" Riley was startled and shouted unusually, then moved his upper body to the side.

Then he walked aside and put the hat on the shelf in the corner of the hall.

Tucker was stunned for a moment, feeling that today's Riley was a little abnormal from the past, but he couldn't tell what details were wrong.

Tucker didn't like to dwell on things he couldn't figure out, so he quickly put the matter aside and helped himself to a spoonful of blueberry mashed potatoes.

"Gift? What gift?" Thales raised his head and asked in confusion.

"It's none of your business, Thales! You still have to continue training after breakfast!" Rhett deliberately put on a stern face. Last night, the kid wanted to read a novel secretly, and fortunately he was caught by him.

"Oh." Taylor pouted, feeling a little guilty.

Riley put down the knife and fork in his hand, knowing that what his father was talking about was the gift he prepared for Clina.

"I... prepared a painting." Riley paused and continued, "A portrait I drew myself."

"Oh? Riley, you can also draw?" Rhett's face showed real surprise. As a father, he never knew that Riley had this skill.

"Ahem, my level is average. I used to draw something when I was bored, and gradually I got better at it."

"Wow, Riley, you can actually draw?" Thales had an incredible expression on his face, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Can you show me what you drew?" Tucker's curiosity was aroused.

Riley shook his head firmly.

This is a gift for Clina, and he is embarrassed to take it out and show it in public.

What's more, the paper was very thin, and he was afraid that Tucker's careless style would accidentally pierce it.

"Oh? A painting you drew yourself? A very meaningful gift." Rhett nodded affirmatively.

Although he doesn't usually talk about the emotional issues of his offspring, he actually takes it very seriously in his heart.

If Riley and Klina get married and have children, it will be a great thing for Riley and his family.

So Leiter said instead: "But a lady visiting and only giving away a painting seems a bit thin."

"I have a unique gift for you that is quick and easy to make. I think it will be helpful to you."

"Father, what gift are you talking about?"

Lei Te smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you alone after breakfast."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Rilai's eyes, and he nodded thoughtfully.

But Thales on the other side was not satisfied. He had a strong curiosity about all kinds of unknown things and was listening attentively, but his father did this.

He immediately protested: "Oh no, father, you can't just say half of the story! What exactly is this special gift you're talking about?"

"Taylor, when you find a girlfriend, I will teach you." Rhett smiled slightly and picked up a piece of steak and put it into his mouth.

Rilai blushed, and wanted to correct Clina that she was not her girlfriend yet, but she was afraid that her father would not tell her how to make the gift, so she suppressed the idea in her heart.

Taylor was speechless and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Humph! Father is so partial."

Tucker was interested at this time. Since he was closest to Rhett, he leaned over and asked, "Father, then I know how to make a unique gift, right?"

"Oh? Do you want to find a girlfriend too?" Rhett smiled.

Tucker's face froze, and he felt that something was wrong with the words.

The next moment, the flesh around the waist was twisted by a huge force.

hiss

Tucker's expression changed instantly, he took a breath, and sat back in his chair quickly.

He glanced at Vanessa, who was looking at him with murderous eyes.

Tucker made a bitter face, rubbed his lower back with one hand, scratched his head with the other hand, and said depressedly: "Oh my God, I just want to give the gift to Vanessa."

Lei Te pointed at his eldest son, shook his head and sighed: "Silly boy, if I tell you about the gift now, Vanessa will hear it next to you. Will she still feel surprised in the future?"
