On the return carriage, Lacey leaned on the armrest on the side of the carriage sofa, supporting her cheek with her hand, she was a little sleepy, not physically exhausted, but mentally sleepy. It's like playing a tense and thrilling game with someone else for 5 hours online, and now she doesn't want to think about anything, she just wants to go back and get a good night's sleep.

After closing her eyes, resting for a while, and recovering her spirits, she slowly recalled the scene just now, and this Addley made her particularly annoying.

In her previous life, the country had a long culture of toasting, and even if she didn't drink much, she knew that in psychology, it was actually a test of obedience. I respect you, and you must drink it all as a sign of obedience. Although there is no common custom in this world, what Adley did just now was actually a temptation.

As soon as he entered the scene, he took the lead, and the words that seemed to be joking greatly aroused the emotions of the girls, and then quickly fell, saying that he was just joking, and this fell together, so that the girls' minds were stimulated like a roller coaster, and then they quickly focused their attention on themselves.

After that, he and Feng Nai quarreled on the surface, but they also quickly broke the strangeness of the first meeting, naturally revealed their emotions and personalities, and lowered the vigilance of the two when they met for the first time.

Then there was a sincere conversation, revealing that he and Angus were familiar with each other, and provided the motivation for the next words of help, which seemed less abrupt. And a person with the image of a playboy at the beginning is suddenly so solemn, with a contrast between the front and back, giving people a sense of sincerity that the prodigal son will not change his money, and it is easier to move people.

After Lacey thanked him at the end, he toasted again, following the simple idea of repaying the favor between people. The person on the other side promises to do you a great favor and toast you with a glass of wine, which you should drink in return with reason. This belongs to the unconscious spontaneous behavior of people, if you don't drink it, it will appear obvious and deliberate, indicating that you are very wary, if you only drink a part, it shows that you are more cautious and do not have full faith.

Lacey naturally understood the intention, so she drank it all, pretending that she was not vigilant, and believed in the promise of the young master Edley in front of her.

Slowly recalling everything at the banquet, Lacey had to sigh, Adeley is really a master of the love field, with his emotional intelligence, there is no need to be so stiff with Feng Nai, this is very likely to be intentional by him. If he goes all out, Lacey suspects that the innocent wind will be captured by him in less than three days.

And Mei Lu, although she talked a lot at the banquet, it was basically a common scene, and she didn't really express her position from beginning to end.

Wind is very simple, Adelley has a plan for Lacey or Karitas, Mer is like a mist, and Fenton is concerned about new wine, focusing on making money, and not interested in anything else, this is Lacey's summary after the banquet.

---------------------------------

While Lacey slowly reminisces in the carriage, Adelley also returns to his study at home.

"How's it going, is Miss Lacey of the Karitas family pretty?" A young man slightly taller than Addley brought a cup of sobering soup, he was the righteous son of the Tisiphone family, Wick, who was half of Addley's brother.

"Wick, I'm telling you, you'll really regret not going, Miss Lacey is the prettiest person I've ever seen in my life."

"Oh? Is she more beautiful than the angels and saints of the Sanctuary? Wick smiled, then sat down across from Addley.

"Indeed, I really want to marry her." Adley made no secret of the desire in his eyes.

"You can't be true, you have decided to unite with Anemiyi before, and Feng Nai is also very good."

"You don't understand, Feng Nai is indeed the best in the world, but Miss Lacey, I'm afraid that I missed it this time, and the next time such a beautiful person is born in the world, it is estimated that it will take thousands of years."

"Alright, Adley, no kidding, we've got everything arranged. The union with Anemiy is also a certainty, and now is not the time to go back. ”

"I knew that Karitas would have to be knocked down or subdued so that Hopland could be in charge of us and the organization's plans could run smoothly."

"Yes, Adri, we have already invested too much in it, and now there is no turning back, I hope you will not be fooled by beauty." Wick looked at Addley solemnly.

"I don't need to be reminded, I understand." Adelley leaned back on the couch and rubbed his eyebrows.

"But I'll apply to the organization, and after the victory, get the ownership of the girl." His voice was slow, but it revealed a certain determination.

After a moment of silence, Addley asked again.

"How's the Helis family doing?"

"They've been very low-key lately, and they haven't made any big moves."

"Really? I always had a feeling that they might have found something, but they just didn't say it. ”

"What if they find a trace? As long as we can't produce definite evidence for the time being, they can't do anything about us. After a while, everything is a foregone conclusion, they can't move if they want to, and the wheels of the times will eventually run over everything, and whether there is a Helis family in the future is a matter of two words. ”

Wick whispered, as if there was some kind of fanatical ideal in his candlelit eyes.

-----------------------

After returning home, two days later, news of the battlefield in the north of the west wind spread all over Verga, and people were panicked for a while.

The west wind is the central hub of the Seven Kingdoms of Sehua, and if it is in civil strife, many trade routes will be cut off, and the sea route has become a safe choice that is not affected by it.

And at this time, the three major fleets of the Karitas Chamber of Commerce, "Swordfish", "Trade Wind" and "White Bird", were all called back, and the Jingyue Strait outside Hopland, with huge white sails, more than two hundred ships of all sizes neatly parked on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.

For a time, the momentum of the Karitas family reached its peak in Hopland. All sorts of invitations followed, and the big chambers of commerce in other parts of Virga also traveled far and wide to send all kinds of greetings and gifts, hoping to be friendly with them.

As the peace was broken and safe sea routes became inevitable, and the demand for both merchant ships and warships increased, Calites became the target of attention.

While Loren Hill was struggling with how to settle so many orders, commissions, and invitations, the country of Rovna sent a team of alchemists to Hopland to approach Karites for an important collaboration, namely the design and construction of a steel battleship.
