In the spring, not only the temperature began to gradually rise, but the atmosphere of the whole city also began to warm up.

As a die-hard fan of Moonlight Dagong, the Moonlight Tavern is the most lively place in the city these days.

For no other reason, in order to celebrate Grand Duke Moonlight's breakthrough to the fourth level and become the brightest and youngest genius in the history of the kingdom, all the guests in the tavern were free of charge for these three days.

Although Dorlock was only prepared for a free day at first, it was eventually extended by a factor of seven thanks to the plattering and generous sponsorship of many drinkers.

At this time, the crowd of people poured into the hall, raising his wine glass, and Evan, who was wearing the uniform of the academy, loudly proposed: "Cheers to the unparalleled talent of the Grand Duke of Moonlight!" ”

Suddenly, a group of people raised their glasses, whether they were supporters of the Grand Duke of Moonlight or not, after all, they were able to drink free wine because of each other.

"Hey, did you hear that? In order to save the Calests who were held captive by the Death Legion, the kind-hearted Grand Duke actually took out a thousand drops of the Fountain of Life to exchange it with the leader of the Death Legion! A short, red-cheeked man suddenly jumped onto the round table and boasted to the drinkers about what he had just received.

"Really?" "How is that possible?" "Your Excellency the Grand Duke is so merciful!"

For a while, the people around him had different expressions, but they were all surprised.

You must know that this fountain of life is a legendary thing, it is a super baby that can make people live for three more months with one drop, and what is the concept of a thousand drops?

The three supreme gods are above, doesn't it mean that if you drink it, you can live for an additional 3,000 months, that is, ...... Two hundred and fifty years?

Oh, my God!

Thinking of this, although I don't know if the news is true or not, everyone's hearts are beating wildly, who doesn't want to live longer?

The short man stooped down sharply and picked up a glass of ale, and his eyes widened as he drank it all in one gulp, "What? Do you believe me? ”

There was a sudden silence around him, and it took a while for a strong man to raise his glass, "Where did Your Excellency get so many fountains of life, hasn't anyone seen that kind of thing for hundreds of years?" ”

He is also telling the truth, at least there has been no news of the Fountain of Life in the past hundred years, which even makes many people begin to doubt whether this thing is real.

Wiping the corners of his mouth with wine stains, the short man looked at him with disdain, as if he didn't care about the other party's size advantage at all, "That's a good thing that Your Excellency Chardon got from the elf clan, it was originally intended to be taken by His Excellency the Grand Duke, not only to improve his strength, but also to keep our Moonlight Grand Duke forever young, you have always heard of His Excellency Sharton's strength, right?" That's a legendary powerhouse who repelled the entire Death Legion and recovered the Moonlight Collar for His Excellency the Grand Duke, do you understand the legend? ”

Hearing Chardon's name, everyone was immediately in awe, after all, being able to force back that group of terrifying monsters alone and recapture nineteen cities and forty-three towns is such a feat that only a legendary-level person can do, and this thing has been confirmed by the church and the royal family, there is no possibility of falsehood at all.

It can't be that even the three supreme gods are lying together, right?

So someone immediately lamented, "Alas, why should Your Excellency be so soft-hearted, she should really take it herself, she is only seventeen years old now, she already has a fourth-level strength, if you add those fountains of life, wouldn't it be six or seven levels?" ”

"Yes, yes, why bother to save those Calestal demons, the wicked have their own evil grinding, according to me, I should make them suffer a little, I heard that they slaughtered a lot of innocent people in the Duchy of Delima." This is a man who lives by trading in Delimar, and his attitude is naturally very tendency.

Outside the crowd, the tavern owner Dorlock poured a large glass of liquor with a look of great regret, he looked at the portrait of the Moonlight Grand Duke on the wall in a daze, and kept muttering, "It's a pity, it's a pity, stay young forever, only you are worthy of eternal youth in this world......

Meswall, aristocratic quarter, Moonlight Villa – former Charlton Villa.

At noon, the warm sun shines in the garden, adding to the already pleasant climate.

Lying on the white rocking chair, Xia Dong's face was covered with a heavy novel, and he was drowsy, and opposite him, sat Minaya, who was flipping through a collection of poems.

Since today is a day off, the girl is naturally tired of being by her brother's side, and now even her friends know very well that as long as her brother is at home, then don't think about asking the girl out.

Of course, due to the girl's sudden change of identity, in fact, most of her playmates are already very restrained when facing her, and even fewer dare to take the initiative to invite.

At this moment, a beautiful maid approached softly, leaned down and whispered a few words in the girl's ear.

Hearing that it was Ulysses who was visiting, Minaya couldn't help frowning slightly, and the beautiful face with this expression made even the servants who were also women feel distressed, and they wished to be able to soothe her troubles.

"You tell him that my brother has something important to do now, so let him wait in the study first." Lowering her voice, the girl tried not to disturb Xia Dong's sleep.

When the maid left, the girl's gaze gently swept over the figure, and then she resumed reading the poem.

Although Ulysses was her junior brother, she did not have a good impression of this so-called junior brother.

Out of the girl's intuition, she had already noticed some of the thoughts hidden in the other party's heart, especially those dissatisfied with her brother, but she really couldn't figure out where her brother had treated the other party badly, if it wasn't for her brother, would she really think that the master would take a fancy to him?

How can anyone take a fancy to such a guy who will take revenge?

She is not unaware of her friend Victoria's thoughts, but although she has not interfered, she also quietly feels sorry that in her personal thoughts, Ulysses is really not worthy of the eldest princess.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be a little depressed, some time ago, both Victoria and her master Jie Liya had knocked on the side and wanted her to seal the territory to this junior brother.

But she doesn't have this kind of thought at all, right?

What kind of people do you give fiefs?

Even if you give it to Calest, you don't want to give it to him!

But the problem is that he seems to have to do this, after all, the relationship between the two is still that of sister and brother, if he is too stingy, outsiders will feel that he is mean and unkind, for a grand duke, this is not a good reputation, especially when he is still in urgent need of a large number of talents to be loyal.

Forget it, the next time the master mentions it again, I'll seal a small town for him, well, pick the most barren place!

At the mention of her territory, the girl suddenly felt three points worse.

Originally, she was still excited to understand what her brother said about the official system, and although she didn't understand it very well, she intuitively found that this system had great benefits - for her and her successor.

But I didn't expect that there would be so many people who opposed it when it was actually implemented, not to mention outsiders, even the master did not approve, and even her parents persuaded her to dispel this alternative idea, as if her plan was whimsical!

Originally, she was not too resolute, but now that she was stimulated by these people, she was really determined to implement this system.

The girl has already made up her mind in her heart: Hmph, as long as those Calests are sent to the Belize Plains, she will select some shrewd and capable officials from among them, anyway, they are all outsiders, they have no worries and no roots in the kingdom, plus the past conflicts with the kingdom, I am not afraid that they will not be on their side!

In the study, Ulysses, dressed in aristocratic formal attire, sat on the sofa, and the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually accumulated.

Damn, I'm also Mina's junior brother, and your Sharton also said that you have a friendship with my grandfather, but what is the result?

Not only is there a difference in treatment everywhere on weekdays, but even if I take the initiative to come to the door, do I have to humiliate me first?

As a nobleman, of course, he knew very well that if the master did have something, then at least let the servant inform him that there was something now, please wait for a while, and when you can meet Yunyun.

And what does it mean to hang guests aside like this?

It's a blatant show of attitude, it's an indication of how underappreciated and unpopular guests are!

Several times, he wanted to get up and brush his sleeves and leave, but in the end, he restrained his emotions and kept telling himself to be patient and patient......

It was a long time before the sun had set in the west and the brilliant sunset began to shine into the room, and the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Sorry, I overslept and kept you waiting, right?" With an apologetic smile, Xia Dong walked into the room quickly, and at the same time he was a little crying and laughing at Mina's behavior, but it was not easy to explain the situation at this time, otherwise the other party would not blame the girl?

Hearing this nonsense and unreasonable reason, the corners of Ulysses' mouth twitched, and finally reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "It's not in the way." ”

Although he sensed that the other party was in a bad mood, Xia Dong also understood that anyone who sat on the cold bench for such an afternoon would be furious.

He sat down in front of the other and asked with a sense of concern, "How are you doing?" Is your cultivation still going well? ”

"It's all right." But it was harsh to Ulysses' ears, and he always felt that it meant something, as if it were confronting him with Mina.

Faced with the young man's stiffness and perfunctory, Xia Dong simply restrained his expression and was no longer polite, "You came to me for something, right?" At the same time, he was a little inexplicable in his heart, what happened to him, this little guy, why did he have such an attitude towards himself?

Seeing that he finally got to the point, Ulysses couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes looked directly at him, and his voice was a little nervous, "Lord Chardon, I remember that you promised to help me three times, right?" ”

Nodding, Xia Dong replied very calmly: "Yes, for Viscount Kale's sake, I will help you three times, and it will be the first time for you to worship under Jieliya, so, do you have a request now?" Although the little guy is a little unlikable, he will not turn his face and admit the things he promised.

Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, Ulysses suddenly felt some dry hair in his mouth, he swallowed his saliva, and said a somewhat hoarse request with strong anticipation and nervousness: "That...... Can you please please Shalton, you, ...... Let me also have the cultivation talent of Mina. ”

Kindness? Xia Dong's eyes moved slightly, and then he understood the young man's thoughts.

It's just that it's a bit tricky......
