Back on the ship of the Arcane Ring, Charlie was welcomed and welcomed by many teachers and students.

It is true that there are many instructors in the Arcane Ring who do not eat the fireworks of the world, and there are also many apprentices of noble birth who disdain worldly titles, but those are a minority, most of the apprentices are from the ordinary aristocratic class and the common class, and they come to study for the purpose of fame and fortune, and the identity of a royal magic seal carver is enough to provoke their hearts, not to mention being called by His Majesty, having dinner with members of the royal family, and staying in the palace for a night, which has almost reached the pinnacle of life that many apprentices dream of.

So much so that many classmates laughed and asked Charlie if he had had an indescribably wonderful story with Princess Elsa.

Finally sent away a group of teachers and students, Charlie lived in a room prepared for him, and was stunned for a moment, how familiar the scene was now, the familiar color matching, the familiar room layout, and the familiar viewing angle pulled him to a certain day a year ago.

On that day, Charlie sat on an identical magical ship to start his path to redemption, and today, he is once again standing in the same position, with completely different abilities, capital, and connections, and his mentality has also changed dramatically.

At this moment, a chuckle from behind interrupted Charlie's feelings.

"Familiar, right?" The voice was soft and glutinous with a hint of coldness, like the rhyme of Lin Laiquan, eloquent and moving.

It's blue eyes.

"The scenery is still helpless, things are not people, everything is wrong. ”

At this time last year, there was Chiyuki sitting opposite, there were the Costa brothers on the boat, Colin was holding the wine, David was still a young and introverted boy, and now, Chiyuki dropped out of school, Colin died, David may have gone to the academy, and half of his good friends are missing.

Qing Tong let out a sigh, and there was a sense of loneliness in the autumn breeze, and said: "The wording is very strange, but I can understand your feelings, this time I went back to my hometown to see Colin's parents, right?"

Charlie nodded silently, "Uncle Costa is my father's comrade-in-arms, and he also brought me a letter from my father. ”

"Bring a letter, isn't my uncle at home, and won't come home on Three Holy Days?!"

"Yes, went to a place that you might never find. ”

"Let's talk about something happy!" Qing Tong sighed, and without delving into it, said, "May I ask Mr. Charlie, how do you feel about obtaining the title of Royal Demon Seal Carver?"

"What can you think? An illusory title, this is a way for the thousand-year-old royal family to attract talents, they imitate the points market of the arcane ring, relying on the royal warehouse to build a similar platform, the purpose is to attract a group of people to serve the royal family, the title is fame, the warehouse treasure is profit, fame and fortune are their sharp weapons to win people's hearts. Charlie broke down the essence of the matter.

"It's not just ordinary fame and fortune, they also invite you to a dinner party and stay in the palace, which has not been a special case in the past ten years, you can just lie to other people, don't lie to me?" Qing Tong glared at him, showing a little dissatisfaction.

Charlie explained: "It's not anything special, is it?!The stay was a last resort, His Royal Highness Ryan and His Royal Highness Aisha entertained me, ate a meal of red dragon meat, and slept for a night, making up too fiercely for my body to hold on. ”

"Oh!" Qing Tong exclaimed, "That's a red dragon! The dragon with the strongest attack power among the dragons, let alone eating the flesh of the red dragon, ordinary people have never even seen a red dragon look like it, you can eat it."

He also said that there is no special preferential treatment, this is a great preferential treatment, it seems that the royal family values you very much! No wonder you feel different today, and there are some indescribable changes in your body. ”

There was a bit of a sour taste between the words.

Charlie smiled: "That is, the pearl will shine wherever it is placed! ”

"Hmph! stinky beauty!!" After all, Qing Hitomi still showed a hint of worry, she said: "After going through a game, you did gain a lot of things, whether it was fame, a good impression of the royal family, or practical things, but, have you ever thought about what you lost?"

"There are gains and losses, and a lot of times, they're relatively balanced, and how much I win today, I can lose something of equal value in other places. Charlie restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "For this, Her Royal Highness Aisha and Her Royal Highness the Prince of Wales warned me separately......"

So, Charlie summed up the words of the two men's admonitions.

Qing Tong bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said: "It's good that you realize this, the Inquisition, I've also heard that it's an extremely cruel organization, even if the people in it are not crazy at the beginning, they will become crazy and be targeted by them, you really have to be vigilant at all times." ”

"I will, thank you. ”

Sitting opposite Charlie, Qingtong straightened her graceful spine, showed a shy smile, and said, "We don't have to be so polite to each other, right?"

"Yes, I don't want to be so polite, we've been friends for so long, I don't know your identity and origin, you always refuse people thousands of miles away, this shouldn't be because of the cultivation of frost spells, right?" Charlie looked at her with burning eyes.

All along, Charlie never asked her where she came from, admired her, cared for her, tolerated her, never took the initiative to force her, and always maintained that tacit relationship. Somehow, today he didn't want to abide by this tacit agreement, and for the first time crossed the red line to ask her about it.

Qing Hitomi bowed her head slightly, brushing her hair to hide the uneasiness in her heart, and she looked up and asked, "Is this important?" I always thought it wouldn't affect the trust between us, and besides, it has been very good in the past. ”

At this point, Charlie simply broke the relationship, "Qingtong, what am I thinking, you should know why I keep rejecting Qianxue?

Seeing that Qingtong wanted to speak and stopped, Charlie sighed and said, "I know that the consequence of breaking this relationship may be that even friends are not good, but I don't know why I don't want to go on like this today." ”

Although Qing Tong's demeanor is shy, it is more of a mixture of joy, worry and confusion, maybe she doesn't know what to do!

Qing Tong smiled and said, "You've said it all here, can I still hide it from you?" Actually, when we signed the magic contract, I mentioned my full name, Qianxue may have seen something, you...... Didn't see it. ”

"Oh? What's that?"

Qingtong solemnly repeated: "My name is Qingtong Tiffany Gresham Mordred. ”

"The Mordred family?" Faced with this name, Charlie still felt unfamiliar, or he didn't have enough experience, and he didn't know much about the ancient families in the mainland.

Qing Tong smiled: "So, you can't blame me, if you found something at the time and questioned it, I would probably say it." ”

"Okay, then you're right now, give me a long insight. ”

Qing Tong glared at him and said, "The Mordred family is the royal family of the Lancang Kingdom, I am the eldest princess of the current king of the Lancang Kingdom, and I am also the chosen daughter of the Lancang Kingdom, and I will inherit this country in the future, as well as what the country carries."

Although she also has the title of a princess, it is completely incomparable to Princess Elsa, the thousand-year empire is the strongest country on the continent, and our kingdom is on the verge of extinction.

The Duchy of Phoenix and Westeros are on our way, and I've come to the Arcane Ring to study in the hope of finding a way out of my current predicament. ”

After listening to Qingtong's statement, and then looking at some of her past performances, Charlie muttered: "With all due respect, if your strategy is limited to improving your personal strength, then I'm afraid it's too late, although your talent is really good." ”

Qingtong nodded silently, "No matter what the result is, at least we have tried, even if we fight to the last clan, we will not give in!"

Charlie shook his head and said, "Actually, there are many workarounds, for example, if you can get Lady Angelina to come forward and make some sheltering remarks, I believe that the two Duchies will re-examine their offensive plans, and for example, uniting other forces and keeping warm with them can also achieve some deterrent purposes." ”

Qingtong shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I tried, my teacher's attitude is very clear, she is willing to protect me, it is incumbent, but she will never be able to protect my country, this is a rule formulated between the peak powerhouses, no one can break the rules, otherwise it may bring a series of unpredictable consequences."

As for the second method, it has never been considered by the Lancangs, and we would rather fight to the last man than ally with outsiders. ”

Charlie couldn't help but comment: "I have never seen such a proud race, and honor is more important than life! In the history books, most of the races with this kind of character have become history." ”

"Yes!" Qing Tong agreed with this evaluation, she said: "So you should understand my situation, I won't think about other issues until the national hatred and family hatred are over!"

It's a pretty clear attitude, and on the other hand, if someone can help her end this war, will she consider accepting this person?

Although Charlie has some resources in his hands now, it is far from the moment when they come in handy.

First, Donald's tea business will have a steady stream of dividends, but in the early stage, the scale of dividends will not be very large, and a large amount of profits will continue to be invested in this business to open up a larger market.

Second, the Demon Pattern Seal Carving Factory still needs a huge amount of investment, which will eat up a lot of resources in Charlie's hands, and there will be no report in the short term.

Thirdly, Charlie is a pioneer knight, and a pioneer knight without any subordinates and no army, and his knighthood still needs a lot of time and money to build.

Charlie sighed and said, "Let's work together! Hopefully we can find a way to end the war." ”

Qing Tong smiled and nodded.
