Why did such a little girl with dreams only ask about becoming his attendant after she met him?
Obviously, with the relationship between Vanessa and Tucker, they could convey this idea in a more natural and tactful way. There was no need to express their determination in front of him with a strong attitude.
It was not until Vanessa's few short words just now that Rhett's doubts were cleared up.
Perhaps it was Vanessa's obstruction that caused Ellie to feel pressured and fall into a dilemma? Rhett said patiently: "Vanessa, I know you are worried about your sister and want her to live a stable life.
But have you ever thought that taking away her right to choose is even more of a torture for her?"
Riley was standing beside him, nodding thoughtfully.
Vanessa almost just listened without saying anything, because she herself felt that what her father had just said made a lot of sense.
She couldn't argue.
A few minutes later.
After being baptized by Rhett, Vanessa unconsciously pinched the tablecloth hanging in front of her with both hands, showing her complicated psychological activities.
Finally, she sighed in frustration, with a bitter smile on her face: "Alas, I was wrong. Perhaps, my father is right, I should give Ellie the path she really wants to follow. My obstruction can only make her live in the haze and unable to be truly happy.
I am a really incompetent sister... I only care about imposing my own ideas on others."
Tucker then hugged Vanessa and patted her shoulders gently to comfort her.
"Well, in my opinion, as an older sister, your care and concern for your younger sister are undoubtedly competent. It's just that you were too concerned and your actions were not appropriate at the moment." Rhett smiled and comforted her.
"I believe in you sisters. From now on, we will work together to move forward."
Vanessa took a deep breath, brushed the hem of her skirt, stood up and said, "Well, father, I toast you a glass."
"Sir Rhett, I would like to toast you too!" Clina, who was listening intently beside him, raised her glass again with shining eyes.
"What you just said is so wonderful. It's very similar to what my grandfather often said to encourage me when he was alive. He said that even though I'm a girl, my heart is stronger than anyone else's! There is no gender distinction between the strong and the weak."
There was a flash of surprise in Rhett's eyes. Scout Rocky?
It is truly remarkable that you can say this...
He stood up with a smile: "In that case, let's go together."
When everyone stood up, Rhett calmed his breathing and scanned everyone's face.
Tucker, Rylai, Taylors, Vanessa, and Clina.
“For a young eagle to fly high, it needs the courage to face difficulties and the spirit of unity.”
“I believe that with our joint efforts, this day will come soon.”
"Cheers to dreams!" Rhett smiled.
"Cheers to dreams!" everyone shouted.
Everyone had smiles on their faces and longing in their eyes.
The wine glasses collided, making a clear "ding" sound, as if all the expectations for the future were intertwined together.
When the dinner was over, everyone returned to their rooms one after another.
Rhett sat alone in front of the window without turning on the lights. The twinkling stars and the moon outside the window were enough for him to see everything in the room clearly.
He was thinking at this moment that the last simulation might not be the optimal result.
Perhaps, he could go a step further and lead it to a more satisfactory result?
Just as Rhett was perfecting his plan, he saw the moon in the sky was obscured by a cloud.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
He thought again, at this moment, Ruilai should be working hard to expand the family's population, right?
Riley's room was on the fourth floor. Just as Rhett had some ideas, he vaguely sensed movement coming from below.
But he immediately cut off the idea! He didn't have the habit of peeping or eavesdropping on such things, especially when the object was his own son.
This is his basic bottom line.
The next morning.
Rilai's door was pushed open, but the figure that stuck her head out was a young blue-haired girl. She glanced around and found that there was no one, then she sneaked into the next room in her pajamas.
That’s right, it was Clina, and her room was arranged on the fourth floor.
Before going to bed last night, the two of them just wanted to be together for a while and have a private chat.
But no one expected that the forbidden fruit would be so attractive once touched.
No matter who falls into it, it will be difficult to extricate themselves.
The battle lasted until dawn. Ruilai leaned against the head of the bed, gently sniffing the lingering fragrance in the room, feeling a little lost for a moment.
Thinking back to the wonder of last night, Ruilai couldn't help but smile again.
He cheered himself up, got dressed, and went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor.
"Good morning, father."
Leiter glanced at Ruilai and nodded calmly: "Please take a seat. You and Clina are the only ones missing. How did you sleep last night?"
"Ah...ah?" Ruilai lost his balance and almost fell off the stool.
Lei Te suppressed the smile in his heart, frowned, and deliberately said: "I mean, how was your rest last night? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Oh...oh, I spent last night in meditation, it was wonderful." Rilai took a sip of milk to calm himself down. It turned out that he was too sensitive and his father didn't notice it.
Not long after, Klina also dressed up again, put on exquisite makeup, and walked down the stairs holding the handrail.
Invisibly, she has a more ladylike temperament.
Ruilai turned his head and glanced, his eyes full of tenderness.
Klina blushed slightly when she was stared at by this gaze, and quickly sat down next to Vanessa, opposite to Riley.
"Sorry, I'm a little late." Klina apologized for being the last one to arrive.
"Clina, you are more gentle than yesterday." As a woman, Vanessa is more sensitive to the details of changes in women. She looked at Clina, who had an indescribable taste compared to when they met last night, and said with a smile.
Krina pretended to be surprised, "Really? Maybe the makeup today is different from yesterday. I put on more blush today."
She suppressed her panic and said, "I'm going back to Dam Town today. This is my first time traveling far away, and my father doesn't allow me to stay outside for too long.
It’s a pity, I hope I can stay with you longer next time we meet. ”
Rhett swallowed a mouthful of mashed potatoes and said, "Oh, that's a pity. But Sir Gary's concern is reasonable. It just so happens that I have to go out today, so I can give you a ride on the way."
"Thank you Sir Rhett!"
"Father, are you going out? Where are you going?" Riley asked.
"Let's go to Dam Town and Twilight City." Rhett tore off a steak and continued, "The lord of Dam Town left me a letter last time. Now that I'm back, I have to respond out of courtesy."
"What? Father, you're going to Twilight City?"
Taylor, who was eating breakfast quietly, suddenly became excited, holding a knife and fork, and said, "Then can you help me check if the third sequel of "Knight Academy" is on sale when you go to Twilight City?
Last year, there was news that the third installment would be released in the first half of this year!"
Lei Te's heart moved, "The third part of "Knight Academy"? Isn't that a gift from Mina to Taylors? I can't ruin this good thing."
"Thank you, my dear father!" Thales' face was filled with an expectant smile.
Rhett smiled.
After breakfast, Rhett and Clina's team left Eagle Town that day.
After sending Klina to the vicinity of Dam Town, they crossed grasslands, wastelands, and a stretch of soft black sand.
After ten days, Rhett finally arrived at Twilight City.
That's right, Lei Te's first stop was not the closer Dam Town, but the more prosperous Twilight City! The first day of departure was February 25th. If he wanted to go to Dam Town, he would arrive at the end of the month.
But he didn't do that. After all, he could go to Twilight City first, do some work, and then return to Dam Town. He patted the package on his waist, and there was a slight crisp sound. There were twelve bottles of Moonlight Potion inside.
Lei Te thought to himself: "This time when I come to Twilight City, I must push my strength to the peak of a third-level magician."
I still need twelve bottles to make up the full twenty-four bottles of Moonlight Potion. I can save a lot of fate points when I simulate it then."
As he used it more and more times, and experienced a breakthrough from level 2 to level 3, Rhett became more aware that the destiny value must be used sparingly.
Last time, just practicing and breaking through consumed several hundred destiny points.
However, places like the Dark-Striped Eagle branch, which is mainly populated by low-level magical beasts and happens to have accumulated such a large number of magical beasts, brewing a beast tide for him to reap on a large scale, are rare.
Therefore, cherishing the current conditions is the best strategy.
After revealing his identity to the guards of Twilight City, Rhett was easily released. He walked along a quaint stone-paved road and gradually walked towards a certain area.
After turning left and right seven times, Rhett finally arrived at a street with fewer people.
"Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce..." Rhett looked up at a large sign, his face full of emotion and his thoughts drifting.
In Twilight City, there are many places that sell Moonlight Potion, including several chambers of commerce that are more famous and larger than the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
But Rhett's trip here this time was actually related to his wife.
He still remembered that when he and Nicole had just gotten together, the place where they went shopping together for the first time in Twilight City was here - the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
At that time, they were still very young and did not have much savings, so they could not afford to go to high-end places.
The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce was just a small, unknown shop more than a decade ago, which was very consistent with the identities of the two men.
He remembered very clearly that when Nicole first entered the door, she fell in love with an alchemical ring carved with a bauhinia flower.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his gaze lingered for a long time on the alchemical ring that was placed under the crystal cover at that time.
Leiter could see Nicole's love for him. But he was only a first-level magician at the time, and most of the money he earned from taking quests and selling magic beast materials was spent on cultivation.
The savings in his hands could not even afford to replace his broken wand, so how could he buy a brand new alchemical equipment? At that time, he felt anxious and lost.
In the end, Nicole was sensible and just asked for an ordinary crystal ring.
Rhett could never forget the scene where Nicole didn't buy what she wanted, but she was still jumping around in front of him and showing off.
I also can't forget the complicated feelings I had at that time.
Later, when he had money, he thought about buying it back and replacing it.
But when he came back to buy it after having money, he was told that the alchemist equipment master at that time had resigned and moved away, and the alchemy equipment in the store was out of stock.
This incident has become a regret that has always weighed on Rhett's heart.
The reason why Lei Te didn't come to the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce last time was that he didn't want to rush here in the presence of so many people.
This time, Lei Te had already inquired in advance. He knew that the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce had been developing well in recent years and that it also had Yuehui medicine for sale, so he decided to make this trip.
"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?" Seeing the guest coming in, a middle-aged woman in a floral dress came up to greet him.
"Moonlight Potion, is there any here?"
"Of course, we have highly skilled alchemists who can provide an endless supply of Moonlight Potion. How much do you need?" When the woman in the flowery dress heard that the visitor was asking about the Moonlight Potion, the smile on her face became even more intense.
"So, how much inventory do you have here?" Rhett was about to give the number directly, but after thinking it over, he asked another question to be on the safe side.
The woman in the flowery dress glanced at the large linen bag in Lei Te's hand, her eyes shining with golden light, and she thought to herself that this must be a big customer!
She cleared her throat and said in a seductive manner, "Sir, we still have forty-one bottles of Moonlight Potion here, which can definitely meet your needs."
"Forty-one bottles? This number is enough." Rhett nodded secretly. The strength of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce was even stronger than he had imagined.
After all, it is common sense that there is a failure rate in refining potions.
Especially for the more difficult fighting spirit potions and mental power potions, a lot of materials are needed. To refine a bottle of potion, the materials needed generally consume dozens of magic plants and extract the essence from them.
Therefore, even for a chamber of commerce, it is difficult to have a large amount of inventory in a short period of time when customers are coming and going and goods are circulating.
"What's the price? How much is a bottle of Moonlight Potion?"
"The market price in Twilight City is fifty gold coins, no more, no less." The woman in the flowery dress said respectfully.
Lei Te nodded and whispered four words: "I want them all!"
"What? Say it again?" The girl in the flowery dress was shocked.
"I say, you can pack up these potions now, I'll buy them all!"
Such generous remarks made the woman in the flowery dress look surprised and delighted. She only met such a generous customer a few times a year.
She quickly said, "I understand, sir, I'll pack it for you now."
"Wait, the gold coins I brought may not be enough." Lei Te looked at the overly excited woman and pointed helplessly at the linen bag: "In addition to gold coins, there are also crystals, magic crystals, and gems that I brought. You need to count them and exchange them for gold coins."
There is no chamber of commerce that only sells but does not buy. Whether it is crystal, magic crystal, or gemstone, they are all on the chamber of commerce's purchase list.
The woman in the flowery dress nodded in surprise, her excitement still unabated, and she quickly called two people to help count the hands.
The crystals, gems, and magic crystals that Rhett brought were converted into 1,129 gold coins. Together with the more than 1,000 gold coins he brought with him, he was able to buy all the moonlight potions.
Two-in-one chapter This book actually has many foreshadowings, and some details are buried inadvertently.
Then, I racked my brains every day to conceive the plot, hoping to create a strong family flavor and a smooth sense of plot without losing the excitement, while avoiding a too fast pace and mindless pushing, which would lead to collapse in the middle stage. I hope to write a story that everyone will be satisfied with. In fact, there are many more exciting things to come, and I hope to present them to everyone one by one.
