Imperial capital, Black Lily district.
The Black Lily District belongs to Camelot's emerging second-tier urban area. It is neither as quaint and rigid as the Upper City where ancient families are entrenched, nor does it have the security environment and atmosphere that are much better than civilian areas such as the Lower City.
Therefore, this place is quite popular among some young nobles, businessmen, and even adventurers of a certain status... In their hearts, the Black Lily District represents freedom, fashion, indulgence and enjoyment.
In front of a chic manor, Mrs. Carol looked at the young man in front of her.
Appropriate and exquisite clothing.
Under the jet-black hair, his face is less angular, but soft and handsome like an elf.
And those clear and deep black eyes that leave a deep impression on people at first sight, just like the male protagonist in the poet's poems. In short, it makes the readers feel very involved.
"Mysterious, handsome, rich... He is just like the replica of the Count of Monte Cristo."
"If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely invite you to perform a ballroom dance at the dinner party..."
...
...
Mrs. Carol expressed such emotion while looking at Char in front of her.
She checked the house property transfer contract in her hand, confirmed that it was correct, and signed it readily.
After doing all this, the lady handed a bunch of keys to Char, and then looked at Char and the blonde girl behind him.
She blinked and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Then this manor will belong to you from now on."
"Happy wedding to the two newlyweds."
She turned and left with graceful steps, obviously treating Xia and Airola as a newlywed couple who came to buy a wedding house.
…
After Mrs. Carol walked away, Airola came to Char's side.
"You didn't expect to meet a fan of your book here."
"It's really surprising. I didn't expect The Count of Monte Cristo to be so popular among female readers. It seems that cool novels are popular across genders, young and old."
"And if I'm not mistaken, the perfume and earrings that Mrs. Carol uses should all be from the store we invested in. It seems that choosing to focus on industrialization in the Black Lily District was indeed a wise choice."
Xia walked into his newly purchased residence and took out packages of various sizes from his space pocket.
Although the Ash Cult's attack on the academy has come to an end, with no casualties other than a few injured students, it can be considered a perfect resolution.
But the dormitory area, which was so devastated, was ultimately uninhabitable.
Moreover, as Char emerged in the Ash Cult incident and entered the sight of many forces, he really needed a new residence. The dormitory area of the academy was still crowded with people.
Therefore, as soon as the incident was over, Airola took Xia to look for houses everywhere.
After repeated inspections, we finally decided on this new residence in the Black Lily District.
Fortunately, Amaterasu had been restored in advance, and Char also made a lot of money from the king-level lava giant.
Otherwise, Char really wouldn't be able to buy this manor which covers an area of nearly 2,000 square meters and comes with a small pet training ground and a meditation room.
Facts have proved that the wealth accumulated by emerging capitalists in a few years is ultimately no match for the hundreds of years of foundation of the old aristocrats.
Airola took the items from Char and set them up in her new home.
She found a silver photo frame in her moving bag and looked at it for a moment.
That was a magical photo taken when Char and Airola had just arrived in the imperial capital. In the picture, there were only little boys and girls with young faces and eyebrows that had not yet fully grown.
At that time, the two were about the same height, but now Xia Ya is a head taller than her.
"That lady is quite elegant... and she even gave such a hint."
Airola silently placed the magic photo frame on the bedside table in the bedroom and spoke calmly.
"Unfortunately, I think that kind of plot will only appear in my new work, Brave Abin..."
"That kind of book will be banned by the authorities."
"Yes, but doesn't it mean that its artistic value has been recognized to the greatest extent by being listed as contraband?"
Char moved the last sofa to its place, looked at the brand new residence in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.
"In short, this will be our new base from now on." As he spoke, Xia took out a metal box from his space pocket.
The metal box opened, revealing the glass container inside. In the bottle-like container, pure silver liquid was slowly flowing.
"Memory Resurrection Mercury, a fifth-order elemental extraordinary material, also has a very small amount of time characteristics."
"It is said that it has a special effect on ancient species, especially holy relic pets. It can accelerate the revival of their old status and power to a certain extent."
"The exchange rights for this item are not open to outsiders. I asked Lieutenant Colonel Zieger to exchange it through the internal channels of the military. I used up all our accumulated merits in the military. Maybe I even owe him a big favor."
Char weighed the glass bottle in his hand, then handed it to the blonde girl in front of him.
"Don't refuse. I have already broken through the third ring, and our identities may have been exposed to many people with ulterior motives. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future... You have to catch up as soon as possible."
"Do you remember the promise we made in Ceylon? You will always be useful to me."
Airola took the glass bottle.
She didn't say much, but glanced at Xia and nodded.
"Give me two weeks."
…
Watching the figure of the blonde girl disappear into the meditation room, Xia also turned around and came to the pet training ground that occupied half of the entire manor.
This is a training ground made entirely of reinforced alloy, engraved with multiple energy storage arrays that can withstand the burst of king-level pets in a short period of time.
A golden light and a silver light flashed, and both Shanshan and Silver were summoned by Char to the training ground.
The little ferret is still as noble and lazy as ever.
After realizing he had been summoned, he simply glanced around the area before burying his head back into the furry body and dozing off on Char's shoulder.
It is a pet that specializes in illusion. Whether it is "Tsukuyomi" or the newly acquired "Amaterasu", it consumes a lot of mental energy when activating it.
If you don't want to use the extremely expensive spiritual power supplement that is exclusively monopolized by the Alchemy City, then sleep is the best way to speed up the recovery of spiritual power.
So except when fighting, Gin basically either napped on Char's shoulder or napped in the soul contract space.
But unlike Silver, Shining is full of energy as soon as he appears.
“Sparkling…”
Xia looked at the little golden monkey in front of him and spoke earnestly.
"Silver has already digested our gains this time and completed Amaterasu. There are no more shortcomings in the attack field."
"But you're still different."
"Are you willing to be a helper like this forever? Just responsible for giving me and Yin Dangdang the ring and opening the portal?"
"Hee hee! (Of course I don't want to!)"
Shanshan's eyes were determined.
Although Yin is the big sister that he worships, but don't you see that kings, princes, generals and ministers are of different species? Who says that the second soul contract can't be the main pet?
A transcendent material who doesn’t want to be the main pet is not a good beastmaster.
God knows how envious it was when Gin obtained such a cool ability as Amaterasu.
"Very good, very energetic."
Char nodded with satisfaction: "Although the skill seeds have been used up, the development of your abilities such as Rasengan, Yasakani no Magatama, and Dimension Slash can only be postponed a little bit."
"But the improvement of strength is not just a matter of adding points to skills."
"Before Xiao Ai completes her breakthrough, we must strive to enter the Historical Reverberation once more. Before that, we need to thoroughly digest what we have gained from the last time, make up for all the shortcomings that can be made up, and increase our combat power to the maximum value that can be achieved."
"So, during this period of time, I have formulated a very strict special training plan for you. Are you confident that you can complete it?"
"Chi Chi! (Have faith!)"
A look of determination flashed in his sparkling eyes.
I am already a mature pet, and it is time to learn to leave the comfort zone of adding points and become stronger.
