After rejecting the tedious and lengthy award ceremony, Xingchen was told that the prize needed to be collected in the inner hall, so the three of them followed a kind old man to the big villa at *.

Following in the footsteps of the old man, Xingchen observed the surroundings from time to time, although the huge manor was full of products, clean and tidy. But he could sense that the owner of the place didn't seem to come here very often......

Is it just a place to stay? Xingchen secretly thought that such a luxurious manor would be used as a foothold if the organizer of this time was not a nouveau riche...... Then it's really the aristocracy of the world......

The demeanor of this old man ...... Indeed, it is a special butler in the mansions of those great nobles. Mo Mei took a qiē under her eyes and counted it carefully...... They...... What exactly is the purpose of this event?

"Hmph~Show off~" Xiao Ling snorted dissatisfiedly, "Use such a large amount of funds on fixed real estate, but don't make any plans...... It's just a waste......"

Well~ A nobleman is a nobleman, a businessman is a businessman, and the angle from which he considers things is really different...... Momei and Xingchen looked at each other tacitly and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, it's nothing~"

"Well~"

"Is there something you're hiding from me?" The eldest lady's eyes flickered between the two, and she was extremely suspicious.

"Here we are, this is it." The old man stopped, took out a bunch of keys, and pushed a vermilion door open, "First of all, I am congratulating Your Excellency on winning this competition. ”

The old man bowed slightly, leaned sideways to give up a position, raised his arm, and pointed to the dark interior of the room, "As for the reward~"

"Click~" accompanied by a sound, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and the empty room was different from the scene that the three of them thought, and there was no furniture or accessories in the space surrounded by four walls. But that's the only way to make a golden cabinet stand out in the light......

"Is this all made of gold?" Xingchen frowned and said. To be honest, he didn't really like to waste it, but it wasn't his asset after all, so he just wasn't very satisfied.

"What's that?" Xiao Ling was the first to notice the pillow on the bench and said,

"The prizes of this contest are also relics left by the previous masters of our Solo clan." The old man walked over slowly, carefully lifted the black box on the pillow, and explained.

"What does this look like?" Momei hesitated,

Like two fine crystals, two round egg-shaped shapes appeared in front of him, one crystal blue and the other rose red, and the swirling liquid inside kept flowing, making it impossible to see more clearly.

"This egg is your prize, and this is a check for 10 million yuan." The old man gently picked up the blue egg and handed it to Xingchen, then took out a check.

"Didn't you say that both were prizes? Why do you still have one, stingy. Xiao Ling said dissatisfied.

The young lady misunderstood, and the other egg was one of the prizes. However, it will be kept by our young lady of the Solo clan for the time being, and when this lady and the young lady officially marry and inherit the property of our Solo family, we will hand it over to our uncle. ”

The old man explained,

"What!"

Xiaoling and Mo Mei shouted in surprise, and even Xingchen almost couldn't hold the egg in his hand, which made the old man on the side tremble.

"Married? Isn't this just a competition? Xiao Ling looked at the old man angrily,

"But it's on the leaflet, and I think the three of them have already seen it before they came." As if afraid that Xingchen would not be able to stand on his feet again, the old man did not forget to stare at the elf egg in Xingchen's hand, and he did not even move his eyes.

When Mo Mei heard this, he immediately grabbed the flyer from his backpack and searched for it carefully.

"It looks like we're overlooked." Mo Mei smiled bitterly and handed the leaflet to Xiaoling and Xingchen, and placed her white fingertips in the bottom row of the leaflet.

"Note: If a male trainer wins this reward, he or she will receive a mysterious gift in addition to the prize money and join the Solo clan."

Xingchen twitched the corners of his mouth, and his gaze shifted to the two girls beside him,

"So, you sold me like that?"

"This?!" Xiao Ling turned her head in embarrassment and glared at the old man, "You must have some other solution, right?" We just didn't pay attention to this hint, and we didn't count it. ”

"This young lady, this kind of behavior of yours will make it very difficult for us." The old man wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile.

"No matter how difficult you are, you can't give a person's life as a reward, and besides, this kind of behavior that depends entirely on luck will definitely not be agreed to by your eldest lady." Momei frowned and said,

"No," a crisp voice sounded outside the door,

"You are?" Momi heard the voices of the others and immediately looked out the door.

I saw a young girl and a young man who looked like a housekeeper slowly walking towards the three of them, and the old housekeeper at this time bent down respectfully after seeing the two.

The girl made a simple gesture to the old man, who immediately understood, and walked out of the room to cover the door.

After the hall was quiet again, the three had a chance to observe the owner of the manor, the organizer of the contest......

The girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, probably because she has lived indoors for a long time, the girl's skin is whiter and more tender than that of Xiaoling, and her long beige hair with a hint of curl is scattered down, and there is a bow in the hair on both sides of her ears, and her appearance cannot be compared with Momei Xiaoling, but the noble temperament in the blood is something that neither of them have.

"We, the Solo family, have always been very pious about the arrangement of fate." The girl smiled slightly and said softly. "So, you're my Katria? Solo's future husband? ”

For some reason, Xingchen remembered a scene that had happened on the beach not long ago. With a headache, he turned to Xiaoling's direction,

"It's just a misunderstanding, he's the man Miss Ben has booked, and he will never let it go to you!" Xiao Ling noticed Xingchen's gaze, her face turned red, and she immediately stepped forward and said.

"What I want to hear is, your answer" Katria still maintained an elegant smile, quietly looking at the stars,

"As my companion said, I'm just here for a race." In the worry of Xiaoling and Momei, Xingchen said. "It was our negligence to come to the contest without noticing the information on the flyer. But if that's all it takes, it will be too difficult for me to pay for the rest of my life. ”

"Doesn't it clear to Your Excellency that once you promise Miss, the property of our Solo clan will belong to you?" The young housekeeper on the side asked, "Forgive me, I don't think that the conditions of the young lady will be much worse than your two companions. ”

Xiao Ling on the side heard the housekeeper's words, snorted heavily, and was about to refute something, but was stopped by Momei,

"It's his decision, let's not interfere," Momei said softly,

"But~" Xiao Ling retorted, but she didn't know why, and fell silent again.

"I believe that with your young lady's conditions, it will not be difficult to find another powerful trainer" Xingchen bowed slightly, put the blue elf egg in his hand back on the pillow cushion, and took out the check and placed it next to the egg. "I'm sorry, but I'm not a good fit for ......"

"Xiaoling, Momei, let's go."

After greeting the two girls around him, Xingchen turned to leave.

"Your Excellency, please stay~" Katria shouted softly, stopping the three of them.

"What's wrong? Am I not clear enough? Xingchen frowned and said softly.

"No~ Since Your Excellency refuses, we don't have any intention of coercion." Katria walked to the inside of the hall and opened the inner room, and the young butler beside him made a gesture of please. "But we really don't have time to wait, if you can, can I hope you can do me a favor?"

"It seems that things are really not that simple." Xiao Ling muttered, and then was glared at fiercely by Xingchen,

"I really didn't know it would be like this......" Xiao Ling had a tearful sad expression, "Xingchen, don't be angry......"

~" Xingchen sighed heavily, and led the two into the inner hall,

Unlike the spaciousness of the outer hall, the slightly narrow inner hall is fully furnished. Katria was sitting on the couch at this time, quietly waiting for the three of them.

"Please sit" The housekeeper young man didn't know where to come from a plate of coffee and placed it in front of the seats of the three people.

"Actually, the original intention of holding this contest was that my father couldn't come to the Kanto region to take over these two important tokens because he wanted to take care of the family business, and on our way here, the news of the elf egg may have leaked out. For the sake of the bigger picture, we moved the competition that was supposed to be held in other regions to find a capable trainer. On the one hand, we can take over the inheritance of our Solo family, and on the other hand, we can protect these two tokens from leaving. ”

Katlia paused, looked at the three of them,

"However, due to manpower reasons now, our combat strength does not guarantee that we will be able to transport the token to the location in front of us, so I hope that Your Excellency can help you with this."

"Is that so...... Xingchen put down his teacup, "but since there is an enemy chasing after him, it must be an unscrupulous attack." For the safety of my companions, I cannot accept your request...... I'm sorry ......."

From the young man's bland narration, Xiaoling and Momei felt a deep concern.

"Really?" Disappointment overflowed, and the girl raised her head again, "I'm sorry to disturb your time, the check is still a reward, I hope you accept it." ”

Katria waved his hand, and the young housekeeper next to him took out the check.

"Xingchen~" Xiao Ling looked at Xingchen abruptly, and so did Momei on the side, although she was really happy to be protected, but she watched the other party fall into danger like this, but she didn't help, which made the two very unhappy.

Perhaps sensing a glimmer of hope, Katria also stared at the stars, and the six beams made the latter fidget.

"I hope next time...... This won't happen again," Xingchen said, tapping lightly on the table.

"No, I promise it's the last time!" Xiaoling hugged Xingchen excitedly, "I know you're the best!" ”

"Xiao Ling" Mo Mei reminded him angrily, Xiao Ling's face immediately turned red, and she threw someone down and sat back in her place at a very fast speed.

"Tell me the location," Xingchen turned to the stunned girl and the housekeeper and said, "If it's not very far away, I think I can try"

"The location is in the middle of the forest ahead, and as long as the signal is sent there, someone from my family will come to answer it." Katria said with a smile. "At that time, presumably the trouble will disappear."

"Then Xiaoling, you go to Stone Town in the other direction and wait for me now." After thinking for a moment, Xingchen said to Xiao Ling and Mo Mei, and took out two Poke Balls from their waists, "If there is any accident on the way, use them." ”

"Okay, okay, we're not the target, what can be the surprise." Although she said so, Xiaoling happily accepted the two Poke Balls, which made Mo Mei on the side smile bitterly~

"Let's leave in the evening, will you all three go?" Xingchen looked at Katria and asked,

"No, it's just me and Gocuran." Katria pointed to the young butler on the side,

"It's rude, I'm Miss's servant." Gokuran bowed and said,

"Besides," Catalia said, holding up the blue elf egg and placing it in the hands of the stars, "I'll leave this one to you." ”

“？” Xingchen looked at the girl puzzled,

"We Solo believe in fate, even if you don't approve of me now, but we Solo will always welcome you," Katria said with a smile, and Momei and Xiaoling on the side became dissatisfied.

"Or you can take it as a reward for escorting us." Looking at the star, who had been unresponsive for a long time, Katria added.

"Okay~" Xingchen took the elf egg and slowly stood up, "It's okay to call me Xingchen, it's always Your Excellency's, it's too troublesome." ”

"Xiaoling, Momei, you set off now, if you do your best, you should be able to reach the nearest town by night." Xingchen reminded,

"Hi, hi~" Xiaoling reluctantly responded, but still pulled Momei and walked out slowly.
