Chapter 160 Your Highness, he has gone far away

In the simple and elegant house, the candles on the long table candlesticks flickered slowly, emitting a dim light that covered everything with a dark veil.

Everything around was clearly visible, but there was a sense of haziness and faintness.

Philena sat in the main seat, holding the silver cutlery and slowly separating the cooked beef on the plate.

Picked up a piece, dipped it in the dipping sauce next to it, gently put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Simple movements, but gave people a sense of elegance and calmness.

Even the most demanding aristocratic etiquette teacher could not find any faults.

Lear, who was sitting on the left hand, was also quite pleasing to the eye at this moment.

Even if all the halos on her body were put aside, Philena was still the most dazzling opposite sex he had ever seen.

That calmness, that elegance, that confidence from the inside out.

The gap between her and ordinary aristocratic girls was hundreds of streets away.

If the halos on her body were added, she would be the stars in the dark night sky, shining and dazzling.

Li Er retracted his gaze and put the food on the plate into his mouth, and a sense of pleasure came from his taste buds.

Swallowing it down, the rich magic contained in it spread out, making him feel warm all over.

The seemingly simple food on the table is all the highest-grade ingredients.

8 dishes, 3 of which are cooked with 4-star quality ingredients, and the remaining 5 are 3-star ingredients.

The value of any dish is equivalent to a year's labor of ordinary people.

The background of the top nobles was revealed silently.

Jasmine stood by and served, with a complicated look in her eyes. It was the first time she saw His Highness take the initiative to invite people to dinner.

But judging from the other party's performance just now, this is not surprising.

This young man is too dazzling.

Even at this moment, there is still an insurmountable gap with His Highness.

But judging from the other party's potential, who can know what the future will be like?

In less than four months, he established his own territory in the wilderness, cleared all enemies in the sludge swamp, and completely occupied this swamp with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.

He also has thousands of people and a powerful army.

The other party just mentioned that he has 6 level 15 demons and a level 16 dragon with dragon blood waiting for orders outside the city.

Goddess, is this something a normal pioneer lord can do?

Those pioneer lords with the support of great nobles are considered good if they can reach this level in three to five years.

As for high-level power, there is no need to think about it. Unless those great nobles are willing to empty their own family assets, how can they subdue so many powerful heroes in a short period of time? !

As for whether the other party is lying, sorry, she has already checked it out when she has time.

There are even descendants of the Bruno family who have personally verified this information - those demons and dragons are in the town outside the city.

This series of shocking news makes her feel like she is in a dream at this moment.

It turns out that a mere level 15 mount is only the most inconspicuous part of the other party's power.

How much more does he hide? !

Even ordinary earl families are not as confident as this young man at this moment!

How long has it been? !

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out how the other party did it! !

She looked at Philena with a smile on her face.

She felt a little admiration in her heart.

His Highness is worthy of being His Highness. He firmly believed in the other party before the other party became successful and gave him a generous gift.

She was surprised at the time and even felt that His Highness might have overestimated the other party.

Now thinking about it, it's really funny. She is the most stupid and short-sighted one.

This kind of person is really like a giant dragon lurking in shallow water. Once the tide rises, it can spread its wings and soar to show its hideousness to the world.

She wanted to make up her mind that no matter what weak person she met in the future, she would not underestimate him.

But she felt a little frustrated when she thought about it again. Even if she knew that she couldn't underestimate people, it would be difficult for her to do it.

There are so many people she comes into contact with every day. The probability of panning for gold in the mud is too small. She doesn't have such tolerance.

Philena didn't know that her maid was thinking so much at the moment. After eating a little, she slowly put down her knife and fork and looked at the handsome boy in front of her with joy.

Although she valued strength, it was not the only thing that made her feel sour. The roses.

To outsiders, it was just a few flowers. Couldn't they be easily obtained?

But all the roses that could be found on the market were already in her hands.

And the roses that Lear brought were almost all new varieties, and several duplicate varieties were also obtained by her recently.

This seems simple, but how much effort is needed behind it? How many resources are consumed?

How can so many kinds of roses be found just by saying that they can be found?

Every time the Griffin Corps went to patrol the depths of the wilderness, they had the task of finding roses, but so far, not many were brought out.

This was definitely done with heart.

It is difficult for outsiders to appreciate the subtlety of this.

"Sir Lear, what is the matter with you coming back this time?"

The effort required to develop and grow a territory can be suffocating.

Outsiders only saw Li Er's strength, but she could better understand the hardships and difficulties.

The murderous aura and iron-blooded temperament of this young man all showed his experience during this period.

And with his character, it is impossible for him to abandon his territory and come back simply to give her flowers.

Lier swallowed the food, drank a sip of tea slowly, and then spoke.

"I came back for two purposes this time."

"First, the White Crow Chamber of Commerce in the seventh block is now part of the City of Dew. I plan to use this as a base to conduct trade in the city of Loran."

"I built a blacksmith shop with more than 1,500 workers, which can mass-produce 2-star armor."

"Second, buy a batch of slaves to enrich the territory, and also collect some books and knowledge"

Fireina chuckled, her eyes were playful.

"It seems that meeting me is not on your list."

Lier blinked at her.

"That's natural. You don't need to make a separate plan to meet a friend."

Feeling the casualness of her tone, Philena felt a little better.

Picking up the high-footed crystal glass, gently shaking the blood-like wine, and motioning to the boy in front of her.

"Cheers to our friendship."

Lier's eyes were smiling.

Raise the bottle and lift it gently.

"Cheers to friendship and tomorrow."

Raise the glass and the two drank it all.

Then they looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

It seemed that everything was unspoken.

Jasmine, who was standing aside, didn't quite understand the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, so she stepped forward and filled the empty wine glass again.

But this time, neither of them paid any attention to the wine.

"Equipment trade has always been one of the largest and most important modules in Loran City."

"It provides a huge amount of tax revenue every year."

"Currently, high-level equipment above 3 stars is controlled by seven great nobles."

"For low-level equipment, there are hundreds of chambers of commerce competing fiercely."

"But since you want to step into it, you must have made preparations, so I won't say much."

"Jasmine, go and customize a plaque and give it to the White Crow Chamber of Commerce in my name."

Li Er looked at the other party deeply.

The weight of these words was extremely heavy.

Philena was going to guarantee him.

With the plaque of the princess of Loran City, who would dare to provoke the White Crow Chamber of Commerce?

This simple action directly cleared most of the obstacles for him.

This is the weight of top connections.

As expected of his angel investor, awesome.

"As for buying slaves, you need to choose them yourself. If you can't buy what you want, tell me. I also have some connections in the North."

"Books. I have a lot of them. If you need anything, I'll have someone print a copy for you."

Lear took a deep look at the stunning beauty in front of him.

"Your Highness."

He called out, but didn't say much, but it seemed that everything was unspoken.

Philena also smiled and didn't say much.

The two didn't have much contact, but they had a unique tacit understanding.

The topic ended here, and Philena changed the subject.

"Sir Lear, how is the scenery of the swamp? I only went to the depths of the wilderness a few years ago. Now, for some reasons, I can't step into it again for the time being. It's a bit regrettable."

"It's my first time to go to the swamp, and it's not bad. After nightfall, the starry sky of Wei Lu City shines and is colorful. It won't disappoint you."

"Besides, the territory also has unique drama performances. I think Your Highness will like it."

"When Your Highness is free, you can go and see it."

Philena blinked.

"Really? How many people have you invited?"

"If it's because of friendship, Your Highness is the first one."

Philena's eyes curved.

The next topic became relaxed and interesting.

Mostly talking about interesting things in the wilderness or some fun things in Loran City that are not known to outsiders.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

As for the purpose of Lear's trip, Philena has already solved it for him at the beginning.

What seems to be extremely difficult to ordinary people is just a sentence in the eyes of those top figures.

Two hours later, the host and the guest were all happy. Lear looked at the sky and said goodbye.

Philena stood up to see him off.

The two walked out the door together, side by side.

The moonlight poured down, covering the two.

The long hair fluttering behind Philena's head made her look extremely mysterious. Her temperament was simple and elegant, as if she was an ancient goddess walking out of a mural.

A luxurious yellow dress complemented her and made her look more graceful.

Her face was delicate and flawless, her skin was like winter snow, and her whiteness could compete with the moonlight.

As she took a step, the flowers and plants around her seemed to be injected with new power, suddenly flying up and full of vitality.

Wherever she was, it was the center of the world.

It was heart-breaking and trembling.

But Lear, wearing a blood-red crown and with a flowing shadow cloak behind him, was not inferior at all.

The young man was heroic and bursting with energy.

He carried the majesty and solemnity of a superior, like a crowned king inspecting his territory.

Although there was a huge difference in rank, they were equally matched in momentum.

Jasmine, who followed behind, inexplicably felt a sense of unusual harmony and matching.

Has anyone ever walked side by side with your Highness over the years?

No one came to mind after racking her brains.

Moreover, how many people could be by your Highness' side without being overshadowed by the light?

No, not one.

Whether it was the heir of the Grand Duke or the heir of the imperial royal family, none of them!

The halos of the Flower of the North, the genius wizard of the Griffin Empire, etc. were too dazzling.

And now, your Highness has been promoted to level 18, and can even make the older generation of nobles bow their heads and maintain the highest respect.

No words were spoken along the way, the two enjoyed the gentle evening breeze and the charming moonlight.

This not-so-short road seemed to have been completed in the blink of an eye.

At the gate of the manor, the captain of the guard wearing a silver helmet, Recker, suddenly had his pupils shrink and lowered his head with a trembling heart.

His mouth was extremely bitter.

"Good night, Your Highness."

"Good night, Lord Lear."

After nodding slightly at the other party, Philena turned her head to look at the boy beside her and said softly.

"Recker's father taught me when I was young."

"He is also like his father, loyal and responsible, and has blocked a lot of trouble for me. He is one of the people I trust most."

Recker's heart warmed when he heard the words, and his face was full of excitement.

The little emotion in his heart disappeared instantly.

Your Highness still trusts me!

"Come back in the future, Recker, you can directly take Lord Lear into the living room tonight to wait."

The joy on Recker's face just emerged, and it suddenly froze.

Your Highness is so confused. How can this guy enter the manor directly?

The goddess that he only dared to admire in his heart seemed to be throwing herself into the arms of someone else.

And he had to open the door for the other party! !

Going to the wilderness, it would be fine if the mount level was as high as his father's, but now he has been favored by your Highness.

Fuck. This guy, really deserves to die.

"As you wish."

But as the chief guard, the most important thing is loyalty and obedience. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he must unconditionally execute any order from Philena.

Philena nodded, and looked at Li Er with deep eyes full of smiles.

"Come back when you are done. There are still many high-quality ingredients in my warehouse, all given by other nobles. It is rare for someone to have dinner with me on weekdays."

Li Er smiled.

"Then I have a good meal. Your Highness, I will go back first."

He slightly supported his chest with his right hand and bowed to indicate.

He performed a noble salute.

Philena also supported her chest and bowed in return.

Lear did not stay for long, turned over and rode on the giant horned deer king of the swamp, and left straight away.

Until the corner of the street, he seemed to think of something and looked back.

The handsome face was so dazzling under the moonlight, and with the momentum on his body, it made people feel amazing.

The bright clothes and the furious horse, Xu was the first-class.

Philena's heart suddenly jumped, and she felt a few unexplained palpitations.

There were waves of tiny ripples in her heart.

The sound of deer hooves faded away.

After a long time.

"Your Highness, Lord Lear has gone far away."

Jasmine's words beside her made Philena come back to her senses, looking at the strange eyes of her maid.

The strong will instantly suppressed the fluctuations in her heart, and her eyes regained clarity.

"Lord Lear has a unique power hidden in his body, which is difficult for outsiders to detect, but very subtle."

After thinking for a while, he stretched out his right hand, gently took off some clothes, revealing his snow-white wrist.

A rose bracelet was revealed in the air.

What was amazing was that the rose bracelet looked like grass and trees wetted by dew in the morning, with green leaves and red flowers full of vitality.

He took it off slowly and handed it to Jasmine.

"When you send the plaque tomorrow, give it to Lord Lear and tell him that this bracelet can cover up the smell on his body."

Jasmine's heart trembled, and she looked at the bracelet with shock in her eyes.

"Your Highness, this, this is also a gift?"

"Is it too precious?"

Raikel didn't know the value of the bracelet, but he felt heartbroken.

That damn bastard, damn it.

Fireina turned her head and looked at the manor, sensing the dozens of roses she had never seen before, and her mouth curled up slightly.

With these roses, she might be able to step onto a new level again within a few months.

"Precious? Maybe."

But he deserves it.

"But, this is you."

"Jasmine, if it were you, would you take out a lot of time and energy to look for something that has nothing to do with you when you enter the wilderness, at the most critical time of development?"

Jasmine was stunned, and just as she was about to speak, Philena turned and left.

Her steps were light, as if she didn't need to answer.

Raikel clenched his fingers on the side.

"I will, Your Highness"

Her voice was small, and she didn't even dare to let the other party know.

Jasmine paused and looked at him with a strange look.

"You are also worthy of comparing with Lord Lear?"

Who is he?

You are almost 30 and a high-level knight of level 12. How can you compare with a person who enslaved a level 16 flying dragon in just a few months?

Pah.

Thinking of the previous behavior that pitted him, he snorted and turned away with disdain.

Raikel's face froze, and he immediately felt 10,000 points of real damage.
