Raymond accompanied Irene to the palace.

Erin is going to meet her father, whom she hasn't seen in years, and Raymond naturally wants to pay a visit to her husband in her new capacity.

Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to borrow the large communication equipment of the royal capital to contact the "ghost group" friends in the endless sea.

.......

As early as when he was outside the palace, Raymond knew what to argue about in this court.

He led Erin all the way into the palace without any obstruction, and the guards around him did not notice it, allowing two strangers to enter the main hall.

In a short time, there were only three people left in the huge palace hall.

Philip stood up from the throne, greeted him warmly, and shouted excitedly over and over again: "Oh, my dear daughter, you are back?!" ”

He was not just a king, but also a father.

This [Night Raven] Philip, who was originally extremely talented, was once the "No. 1 Master of the Black Sea", and originally had the opportunity to step into a higher level of transcendental level. His talent is extremely good, otherwise he would not have been able to comprehend the three arcane solutions.

Unfortunately, not everyone pursues the highest realm of transcendence, and he chooses power.

Rao is at this moment, the dear relatives are reunited, and Raymond also clearly feels some not-so-simple excitement in his emotions.

However, it doesn't matter, he is Erin's father after all.

Erin also looked at Philip with excitement on her face and called out, "Father." ”

The father and daughter hugged each other excitedly.

After a long time, Philip asked again, "Erin, and... Captain Raymond, how did you get back to the Black Sea? ”

Tianlan Palace has the most well-informed access to information, and he naturally heard about Raymond's reputation in the Endless Sea, the "Endless Eight Emperors"...

The junior in the past has now become an unattainable big man, and His Majesty the King doesn't know how to face it for a while.

However, he knew one thing very well, since this one had returned to the Black Sea, the trouble on the side of the navy would be solved immediately.

Just now, Raymond was able to avoid the palace guards and induction prohibitions, and quietly entered the palace, which means that his extraordinary strength is no longer what it used to be, at least not comparable to that sequence 4 naval "commodore".

"It's a long story..."

Raymond didn't intend to explain more, but said calmly: "Actually, I do have important things to ask Your Majesty when I came to the palace this time..."

Philip dared to hold it up, and hurriedly responded: "'Please' is too raw... If there's anything I can do to help, just ask. ”

Raymond was also polite, and said, "First, I want to borrow the palace's telecommunication equipment. ”

Philip immediately agreed: "That's easy, you can do it now." ”

"This second..."

After a pause, Raymond looked at Erin beside him, smiled gently, and said, "I want to ask Your Majesty to marry Princess Erin to me..."

"Huh...?"

Hearing this, Philip was stunned for a moment, and then his whole face turned rosy and shimmered.

He didn't hesitate at all, and said heartily: "Okay! I'll arrange for the court officials to pick the right day..."

Where does he not know what this means, there are layers of relationships, and what troubles cannot be solved?

Will the son-in-law help him?

But after the excitement, Philip looked at his daughter, and then at Raymond, and suddenly there was some heroic twilight emotion in his heart.

To this day, he still clearly remembers the first time that the immature boy at Phillip Academy who needed to take care of himself secretly to survive, saw his panic for the first time...

But he didn't want to go for a few years, but today he has grown into a giant eagle fighting in the sky, and he can't even look up to his existence..

After a pause, Philip asked Raymond and the others again, "By the way, are you planning to go back to the Black Sea to settle down this time, or..."

If they could, both sides would like this peaceful day to be forever.

Unfortunately, no.

"It's going to go. The situation in the Endless Sea is terrible, we have to go..."

Raymond thought about it and said, "When my buddies come to pick us up, we will leave the Black Sea in about three months..."

.......

Father and daughter don't meet again, there is much to say, Erin remains in the palace.

And Raymond walked alone on the streets of the Tianlan Royal Capital.

The Black Sea is his "hometown", and there are some old people to visit, where Aldrich is, he must go to see him.

If it weren't for this old man, Raymond would never have gotten this far in potions.

The "Potions Masters' Guild" is the most lively guild in any place, and this branch of the Black Sea also has a separate ship island in the royal capital.

Raymond mingled in the crowd of adventurers and walked towards the attic of the Potions Guild President.

On the street, it was bustling.

This is the Potions Masters Guild, and it is also the largest potions material trading market in the entire royal capital.

In addition to those shops, the streets were full of stalls set up by adventurers and mercenaries, and the air was filled with a strong smell of medicinal herbs.

It's all low-level potion materials, and nothing can get into Raymond's eyes.

The Potions Guild is full of people, and a huge number of potions materials are found and purchased every day. In addition to the adventurers, from time to time, there were also some black-robed potions masters who came in and out under the respectful gaze of everyone.

Although the hall was noisy, Raymond also captured some information that he wanted to know.

"Have you heard, the General Union on the other side of the Endless Sea has sent someone, and it seems that they are planning to remove Aldrich from his position..."

"Huh? Why? President Aldrich is our greatest potions master of the Black Sea, and the most selfless and upright of all. Why did the CGT remove him? ”

"I don't know, but I heard that President Aldrich disobeyed the orders of the General Labor Union and clashed with the Navy."

"Ahh Why, exactly? ”

"I heard that he wants to keep the Black Sea Potions Guild neutral, and is unwilling to swear allegiance to the World Government."

"We, the Potions Guild, have always been neutral and should never be controlled by any force. So I think President Aldrich did the right thing..."

"But... Loyalty to the World Government doesn't seem to have any bad effects. ”

"Anyway, I'm going to support President Aldrich anyway! Without him, I would not have been able to afford the sky-high price of potions that were monopolized by the 'Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce'. Now I can be a transcendent, and President Aldrich is my greatest benefactor..."

"Not bad! President Aldrich is the most selfless man in our Black Sea, and without him, potions would never be so cheap, and there would never be so many people who could become transcendent. You see, the resurrected 'Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce' has begun to monopolize the potions market again..."

“...”

Raymond listened casually, his face as usual.

He also almost understands the situation in the Black Sea, and his teacher's situation is naturally not very good.

......

Tuk, tuk, tuk!

A crisp knock sounded at the door.

In the office of the Potions Masters Guild, a bearded old man was intently looking at some potions book. The six-star Potions Master's medal on his chest glittered, proving his identity.

This old man is naturally the president of the Black Sea Potions Guild, the only six-star great potions master, Aldrich!

"Please come in!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Aldrich was also puzzled, he remembered that he had not made an appointment to visit at this time.

The "click" door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man with a smile on his face entered.

The old man's astonishment had not yet appeared on his face, and he suddenly saw the young man bow respectfully to him: "Teacher, long time no see..."

"You..."

Aldrich's eyes widened, and he finally reunited the face in front of him with the most proud disciple in his memory, and exclaimed, "You are Raymond?" ”

Raymond nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "Teacher, the disciple didn't disturb you, right?" ”

When Aldrich heard this, he suddenly turned rosy with excitement, and when he looked at it, he burst into tears.

He quickly got up from his chair, walked over, and asked incredulously, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" Why did you kid ring back to the Black Sea? ”

He carefully looked at Raymond, who he hadn't seen for nearly ten years, and from this resolute face, he could vaguely see the appearance of the immature boy back then.

He still clearly remembers that when he wanted to take this kid as an apprentice, this "ghost" guy still asked questions, afraid of being deceived...

Raymond sighed slightly: "It's a long story..."

......

This chat is half an hour later. Nature

Aldrich finally believed that the person in front of him was really his disciple Raymond, and exclaimed, "So, the situation in the Endless Sea is really bad to that extent? The Potions Guild has been controlled by the World Government? ”

"Hmm."

Raymond nodded and said, "Maybe worse." ”

Aldrich's expression became a little solemn, and he immediately guessed something: "So, you may be leaving the Black Sea soon?" ”

Raymond blinked, wanting to lighten up the atmosphere, and asked with a smile, "You know?" ”

Aldrich glanced at him and said in a strange tone: "Can you, the great man of the 'Endless Eight Emperors', stay in the Black Sea for a long time?" This sea can't keep you a big fish. ”

“...”

Raymond shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, the old man was as shrewd as ever.

Aldrich said, and suddenly let out another long sigh, "From the moment you entered the door, I guessed that you had not only come to visit my old man, but more like to say goodbye. With great power comes great responsibility. The winds and waves on the other side of the Endless Sea, you kid must be participating..."

Hearing this, Raymond's expression was slightly complicated.

His own teacher always understands his own disciple.

Aldrich: "You're not sure about the Endless Sea?" ”

Raymond shook his head and didn't speak.

The enemy is the whole world government, and the mysterious evil god, who dares to say what is certain?

Even if he had awakened the [Divine Body Explosion Qi Sea] now, he was not at all sure.

"Hey..."

Aldrich glanced at him, sighed slightly, and continued: "Raymond, you are my disciple, but your current achievements have far surpassed that of being a teacher... I am very pleased. The old man can't help you now, and he has nothing to persuade you. I just hope that the next time you go back to the Black Sea... If I'm still alive, we can meet again and have a few words..."

As soon as the old man said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became very sad.

Aldrich exhaled a long breath and said, "Raymond, you must remember that you are the proudest disciple of the teacher in his life. No matter what time of year, the Black Sea is your home, and you are always welcome home. ”

"Well, thank you, teacher."

Raymond listened, not feeling a sour heart.

The soul passes through the other world, and I always feel like a stranger, and I never have that sense of belonging to home.

Until he met Erin, met Anna, met Aldrich, met Erikson... He felt that the world was slowly accepting him, and he himself was slowly integrating into the world.

The teacher, confidante, and genuine care made him feel the kindness of this strange world.

If he hadn't returned to the Black Sea unexpectedly this time, maybe he would never have seen this kind old man again in his life.

Next?

Probably...

Maybe there will be a next time.

......

Aldridge lived to this age, and many things were more visible than Raymond, and he wiped the warm tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly laughed.

He patted Raymond on the shoulder and said, "Don't think so much about being unhappy!" Today, we have a rare reunion between master and apprentice, and we must go for a drink! If you don't get drunk, you won't go home..."

After a pause, the old man was finally able to put down the serious face that had been hanging all the year round, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the 'Musket and Rose Tavern'!" It's the one you opened when you were in the royal capital..."

Hearing this, Raymond suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth.

If he remembered correctly, the "Musket and Rose Tavern" was an adult tavern that the Tianlan King was famous for.

This old man... People are not old.

Unfortunately, before the door was opened, a complaint sounded outside the house.

"Aldrich, you bad old man, what do you want to drink in broad daylight?"

An old man with a red beard entered, and he had no intention of knocking politely, and angrily pushed open the door to Aldrich's office.

This is also an old acquaintance, Aldrich's brother, Boggs Knox.

Boggs frowned angrily, just wanted to stop Aldrich's delusion of "daytime", and also wanted to see who instigated his junior brother, who was not too tough in the daytime, to drink...

But this time, he was also stunned.

I thought it was an old guy who "didn't have long eyes", but I didn't want to be a young man.

Seeing Boggs's unrecognizable expression, Raymond took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Boggs, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”

"You..."

Boggs also had a hellish look on his face, "You... Are you Raymond? ”

Raymond was accustomed to everyone's shocked expressions, and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Boggs." ”

Hearing the confirmation, Boggs's eyes also lit up, and he faintly became short of breath.

Aldrich, the old fellow, often whispered in his ear that his genius disciple was almost calloused. Not only that, but in the old thing's bedroom, the newspaper with Raymond's latest bounty was framed and could be seen as soon as he entered the door.

Now seeing that the legendary "Endless Eight Emperors" is not respectful, can it not make people excited?

Not knowing what to say, Boggs suddenly changed his mind and said, "That... I heard you're going for a drink? Mind piggybacking on me an old guy? ”

"Hahaha..."

Aldrich laughed and deliberately made a mistake: "Hmph! I'm catching up with my apprentice, what are you doing with an old thing? ”

Not to be outdone, Boggs said: "Speaking of which, Raymond should also call me uncle, I invited my nephew to drink, hindering you old thing?" ”

Seeing that the two old men were about to fight, Raymond interjected with a smile: "Senior Boggs, let's talk about drinking later." Now that you're here, I have something to talk about. ”

"Oh? Serious business? ”

Hearing Raymond say this, the two old men suddenly stopped making trouble, and their expressions became very cautious.

It is certainly not easy to make this "big man" say that it is a serious matter.

......

At this time, Raymond didn't hesitate, and raised his hand to place the more than ten boxes stored in the package on the floor of the office.

He pointed to the box and said, "These things... It was found when I salvaged a shipwreck based on the [Golden Compass] of your predecessor Boggs..."

"Ah?!!!h

When Boggs and Aldridge heard this, their eyes immediately widened.

They looked at the dozen or so boxes again, and immediately became very excited.

At the beginning, the [Golden Compass] recorded the location of the ship that his ancestor was shipwrecked, and it was really found?

"In this box, is it..."

Boggs wanted to speak, but found himself so excited that he couldn't say a word.

Raymond said the sentence that the two of them were most looking forward to, "Yes, this is the original codex of the [Potions Secret Codex] left by the ten-star Potions Master 'Igris Seentia', which is well preserved..."

After a pause, he turned to say, "Now that the 'Potions Master Guild' of the Endless Sea has been controlled by the World Government, it is no longer a sacred place for the transcendental, and it can no longer bring hope to mankind..."

After believing in "righteousness", the transcendents cultivated by the Potions Guild can only be the lackeys of the evil gods.

"There are also some potion recipes that I have improved and derived, and if someone can reach the advanced conditions in the future, I hope these formulas can be passed on..."

"And these other recipes I've gathered, potion resources..."

As he spoke, Raymond didn't stop.

One by one, the Potions Master's treasures were taken out and filled the entire office.

Not to mention this small Black Sea, even if it is in the Endless Sea, taking out these things will attract countless top powerhouses to fight desperately.

These are "priceless treasures"!

Looking at the room full of treasures, Aldridge and Boggs's excitement became more and more calm. Instead, they looked at Raymond with a shocked expression, their eyes puzzled: "Raymond, are you...?" ”

No matter how you look at it, it's like you're explaining what happened!

Raymond is gone, so dangerous?

"If I fail..."

Raymond didn't have much sadness on his face, but there was a kind of fearless perseverance in his eyes.

He looked at the two old men and said in a sincere tone, "If I fail... I want to leave these things to you two to pass on, and I also want to leave some hope for the Potions community, and also for human civilization..."

Hearing this, the two old men glanced at each other, and their eyes trembled.

PS. Two million words, sprinkle flowers... The story has come to an end, thank you for reading the book here, and thank you for your support wherever you see it.
