Chapter 280: The Master of Flowers

"Oh, are you coming?" Hearing this, Mavis looked not surprised at all, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and said coldly, "How many people?"

Margaret replied with a solemn expression: "Back to the earl, there are 30,000 enemies in the Red Demon Empire, including 20,000 Red Demon warriors, 7,000 Red Demon elites, and 3,000 Red Demon Soldiers; there are also 30,000 enemies on the Dawson Federation's side, including 20,000 junior soldiers, 9,000 intermediate soldiers, and 1,000 senior soldiers; the Roland Empire's enemies are the least, only 20,000, but they are quite elite, except for the 10,005 elites, the remaining 5,000 are all knights!"

"Eighty thousand people, which is indeed quite a lot, is already 20 times the number of Lyra's patrols, but fortunately they are not monolithic, and it is not impossible for them to even kill each other in the end. After a pause, Mavis said in a deep voice, "I'll have Bonnie come over to see me, and you, starting today, will secretly monitor the activities of all side branches, report any unusual behavior, and if necessary, secretly detain suspicious people."www.biquge.info ”

Seeing Margaret's expression with a hint of hesitation, Mavis said with a hint of loneliness: "I don't want to do this either, but history has proven countless times that disaster is within the walls, so I have to guard against it, especially in today's dangerous situation." ”

"Yes!" said Margaret, after a pause, "Earl, have you thought about where the family will go in the future?"

It's no wonder that Marguerite asked this question, now that the kingdom of Abidjan has existed in name only, only some nobles are left struggling, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is only a matter of time before these remnants of nobles are annexed by the surrounding powers. And with the location of Lyra's territory, it is either annexed by the Red Demon Empire, or it is a change to join the Dawson Federation or the Roland Empire, and a few flies dangling in front of him these days are fighting this idea, and Mavis knows that even if he succeeds in sending the three of them, as long as Lyra's territory does not change its façade for a day, flies like this will be endless!

"I already had a rough idea in mind, but it wasn't easy to put it into practice. Go down and do what I have given you. ”

"Yes, Count!"

Mavis looked at the direction of the Sky Dome Castle with a gloomy gaze......

A few moments later, Mavis appeared in the dining room, dressed in formal attire, and three young nobles in different costumes were already waiting for the restaurant - one of the three was wearing a red heavy armor, another was wearing a tuxedo, and the last was wearing a red robe.

Dressed in red armor was none other than Grace, the third son of Duke Gondo. Grace is tall, about 1.8 meters, handsome, and a rare beautiful man, and the heavy plate armor he wears sets off his heroism.

Mavis glanced up at Grace, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes -- she found that although Grace looked glamorous every day, the clothes on his body had never been changed in the past ten days! Mavis herself had a certain degree of cleanliness, so she subconsciously disliked people who did not pay attention to personal hygiene. But the disgust soon disappeared from Mavis's mind, after all, Grace was an outsider to her all along, and she was not going to be obsessed with the physiology of an unrelated person.

And wearing a black tuxedo is His Royal Highness Hayden of the Abyss Territory. When she first saw this unfamiliar costume, Mavis couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but when she noticed the unique shear-tail hem of the tuxedo, Mavis's face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile, like a wisp of autumn waves blowing and rippling, that kind of natural and touching charm made Hayden and Grace, who can be called veterans of flowers, lose their minds for a while.

"I didn't expect that little bastard to have this artistic cell, I remember that he said that he would give me a unique gift when we met again, I wonder if that little bastard would have forgotten!" Thinking of the seven sweet days the two spent on the passenger ship, Mavis's eyes smiled.

Hayden, who didn't know the truth, thought that Mavis was still laughing for him, which couldn't help but make him secretly proud, and did not forget to look at Grace and Gavin beside him demonstratively and question, which made the former secretly angry, but the latter always maintained a calm appearance, and did not even bother to look at him.

Secretly glancing at the man who was always as plain as water, as if he was above the world, Mavis had a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but there was a deep fear hidden in the depths of his pupils - among the three, only Gavin really made Mavis look high, the other party seemed to have an innate bearing and demeanor, easy to convince and feel intimate with the people around him, Mavis had no doubt that the other party would achieve great things in the future, even beyond his parents! From the family's point of view, Gavin is indeed a good marriage partner, and will have a considerable help for the development of the family.

The other party is sure that he is interested, otherwise he would not be here, and as for why the other party's performance in the past ten days or so is far more insipid than that of Grace and Hayden, this is just a means - it is ridiculous that the two of them thought they were veterans of the flowers, but they were played with between applause by a priest, and their actions were dwarfed by but they did not know it. Mavis saw these thoroughly, but she wasn't too disgusted, not to mention that the other two were indeed much worse in her eyes.

But Mavis doesn't like a man like Gavis - the other party has the city, the brain, the strength, the ambition, but he doesn't really care about women, for example, he is now pursuing himself, but this is just a means for him to achieve his goal, out of a woman's intuition, Mavis can feel the indifference of the other party in the depths above emotion.

Besides, no matter what happened to these three people, how could they compare to that little bastard of their own?, but it was not easy to get together with him--Thinking of this, Mavis couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart......

"Your Excellency, this is the golden grilled wings that I specially invited from Campura to roast for you, taken from adult firebirds, with Kampra's special seasoning, spicy, delicious, juicy, you can taste it. Grace unveiled the bowl to reveal a golden roasted wing, and a rich aroma hit the face, making people feel the appetite of the finger.

Not to be outdone, Hayden unveiled the exquisite plate he had prepared, revealing a translucent lump of fine workmanship and beauty, like a pocket crystal mountain.

Seeing such beautiful food, Mavis couldn't help but be interested, and she smiled with interest and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness what this is?"

Seeing that Mavis was interested in the food he had prepared, and that he had obviously compared this kid to Grace, he was even more proud, and he said with a slight hint of pride in his tone: "Back to the beautiful lady, this is a rare thing even in our Federation - a rare demon whale from the Endless Sea, and it is still the kind of pregnant, The living demon whale takes the placenta out of its stomach alive, and it takes an ice destroyer above the level of an arcane master to freeze the placenta, and then go through a special secret recipe by a master chef to make this dish, which is worth tens of thousands of gold coins! This crystal seat is not only delicious, but also has great benefits for mage meditation, and it is prepared for a genius mage like you. ”

After saying that, Hayden glanced at Grace and Gavin proudly, in order to prepare this dish, he couldn't say that he didn't take great pains! Grace couldn't help but flash a trace of chagrin in his eyes when he heard this, but the corners of Gavin's mouth slightly lifted a trace of mockery - what a fool, and he thought he was a veteran of flowers, but he didn't understand a woman's mind at all!

Hayden thought that Mavis would immediately consume the crystal seat he offered, but who knew that the woman had no intention of making a move, and her face looked a little cold at this time, which made his eyes flash with a hint of anger.

"Haha, what I have prepared is not as expensive as the two of you," after speaking, Gagawa gently opened the white porcelain bowl, revealing a small bowl of lotus seed porridge.

Seeing that what Gavin had prepared was just an ordinary bowl of lotus seed porridge, Grace and Hayden couldn't help but show a trace of disdain in their eyes; but Mavis noticed that this bowl of lotus seed porridge was quite unusual, and each lotus seed in the bowl actually had a hint of golden thunder! She couldn't help but be curious: "I don't know what kind of reputation these lotus seeds have?"

"The Earl is really a good eye," Gagawa said with a charming smile and then in a flat tone, "These lotus seeds do have some origins, taken from the Jinlian Pond of the Sacred Mountain. ”

"Hey, Jin Lianchi?!" Hearing this, Grace and Hayden were suddenly shocked, and even Mavis couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise, with their identity, their knowledge is not extensive, but in the face of the legendary Jin Lianchi, they can't keep their composure - Jin Lianchi is located on the top of the Holy King Mountain, the holy land of the Roland Imperial Inquisition, there are only nine golden lotuses in the pool, which bloom every three hundred years and mature every three hundred years, and the lotus seeds they produce are listed as one of the most precious alchemy materials in Andrew's world, and it is rumored that it has unimaginable functions!

And the bowl of lotus seed porridge that Gavin took out was at least the crystallization of a golden lotus for 600 years! This was enough to make those alchemists snatch their heads, and it was not impossible to even bring in one or two grandmaster-level alchemists to serve them for ten or eight years! Even as competitors, Grace and Hayden couldn't help but be tempted by this bowl of lotus seed porridge, and at the same time, they couldn't help but marvel at Gavin's generosity; especially in this comparison, what they took out was as if it were rags!

"This bowl of lotus seed porridge was secretly boiled for an hour by me with my own divine power, and it has some special effects for women's beauty, so the earl might as well eat it?"

If Leitch were here, he would definitely regard Gagawa as his great enemy among the flowers - not to mention that the golden lotus seeds are precious, the most important thing is that Gagawa spent his divine power and cooked this heart with his own hands, and the miraculous effect on beauty can choke the lifeblood of any woman, this is the real master of flowers, Grace and Hayden's clumsy methods are really not even worthy of lifting shoes!
