Chapter 222: Duke Jesse

I smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"Since he's already arranged, there's no point in me refusing.
"That's the best," Trins said. I won't bother you today, and tomorrow morning, I'll send someone to pick you up. When the time comes, we'll talk again. ā
I smiled wryly and nodded, no wonder he was so thoughtful, but this was the original purpose. With his identity and strength, it is too difficult to find an opponent, and I am naturally very excited to see me, the person who can defeat him. Watching him leave in high spirits, I could only smile bitterly and be speechless.
Melina smiled and said, "Xiao Tian seems to be in big trouble! Trins is notoriously aggressive, and every time the four major colleges communicate, he will find the deans of other colleges to compete. This time, you sent it to the door yourself, but I'm afraid that it won't let you go. ā
I shook my head and said depressedly, "Let's compare! Anyway, it's not the first time." ā
Sister Camilla was taken aback, she didn't expect that I had already fought with the Trins Sword God, but Xuan was relieved, with the strength I showed along the way, it was not much inferior to the Sword God, and there was naturally nothing strange about a simple fight.
Melina's daughters couldn't help but purse their lips and chuckle, and even Filia, who had always been preoccupied, couldn't help but smile from the corners of her mouth. Alas, it seems that occasionally allowing yourself to be depressed can also achieve the purpose of entertaining them.
Alice said innocently: "Is the cold-faced uncle troublesome? I think he is very good! The environment here is better than when we were in Ostley!"
Melina smiled and said, "Uncle Cold-Faced, this name is really apt." I've known him since I was a kid, but I haven't seen him laugh a few times until now, and today is the most. Naturally, it won't do us any harm, but for your brother Long, it's a big trouble!"
Alice suddenly shook her head again and again, and said, "That's not good, then I don't want to live here." ā
I smiled and picked her up, saying, "It's still Alice who is best for her brother, unlike them, who only snicker on the side." However, just a little trouble, just leave it to my brother to deal with, and Alice can live here with confidence. ā
"Is it really okay?" Alice said curiously: "Didn't Sister Melina say that her brother would be very troublesome?
I smiled proudly and said, "If it's about fighting, how can my brother be afraid of him?"
Alice was convinced of this, and said coquettishly: "My brother is the most powerful." ā
I smiled smugly and glared at the girls, but only a few rolls of the eyes.
In the small manor, all the facilities have been prepared, which saves us a lot of hands and feet. After assigning the room, we went to the shower. Along the way, everything else is easy to say, but it is really inconvenient to take a bath. Taking on this mission, it was really a mistake, not only was it restrained along the way, but also had to think about how to protect the caravan from time to time. Next time, no matter what, I don't want to take on this kind of bodyguard-like task.
The next morning, instead of the man sent by Trins, I welcomed Paran and an emaciated middle-aged man. Look at the man, although he is dressed in casual clothes, there is always a kind of majesty revealed in his gestures. This momentum has nothing to do with strength, but should be cultivated by him for a long time. Come to think of it, this must be my old man I've never met, Duke Jesse.
I can't help but start to have a headache, if Filia has decided to recognize him, then naturally everything is easy to say now, how I should recognize the elders. It's just that now Philia is still undecided, and Duke Jesse's attitude is also a big problem, after all, Philia was kicked out of the house by him in the first place. Now it was a bit of a bad time for me to see him, and I began to hate Paran secretly. Fortunately, Philia hasn't come out yet, so I don't have to worry about them bumping into each other. Although I hope that Filia will no longer suffer and return to the Daronx family, I don't want to force her. When she figured it out for herself, it was naturally the best. It's not necessarily a good thing to bump into Duke Jesse now!
"Mentor Dragon, let me introduce you to the true owner of this caravan, that is, my old friend Duke Jesse, whom I told you. This time, he came to thank you. After nearly a month of companionship, I really can't imagine that you are still a tutor at Leia Academy, you can hide it enough. "Palan Grero said.
"The caravan arrived safely this time, thanks to you and your family along the way. And this purchase is of great significance to our Daronx family and even the Gulchas Empire. Therefore, although the old man knew that Mr. Long did not like to be disturbed, he still did not take the liberty and came to thank him. Duke Jesse said earnestly.
I smiled slightly bitterly, hurriedly helped him up, and said respectfully: "Lord Duke is too polite, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Xiaotian." It is a great honor for us to have you here. ā
Palan next to him almost stared out his eyes, and he kept quietly inquiring about my information all the way, knowing that I was cold and indifferent except for my own family. In this regard, it is not difficult for him to understand that no matter who has such strength, he will always become more arrogant. Who knew that when I saw Duke Jesse now, my reaction was so different, which made him a little curious. He didn't believe that just being a duke could make me so respectful.
Duke Jesse obviously didn't expect me to be so humble, but he was old and sophisticated, and just by looking at my face, he knew that I was not pretending, and he was curious, but he was also very useful. After all, just a holy beast pet was enough to put the young man in front of him side by side with the top powerhouses on the continent. Such a person is so respectful to himself, it is not an ordinary enjoyment.
"In that case, the old man will hold you up and call you a little heaven. The caravan came back safely this time, but it was all thanks to the blessing of Xiaotian!" Duke Jesse exclaimed.
I didn't dare to say anything, and asked curiously: "It is said that the goods are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, such a huge amount of money, think about it, the Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce can't take it out, right?"
"It's just the price of the Terrans, but in the case of the Elves, these are just useless things. Duke Jesse smiled: "However, the magic jewelry I bought from the elves this time is of great use to our country! If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't send troops to the territory of the Ottoid Empire, we would have the heart to send tens of thousands of troops to escort the caravan." However, my niece and daughter-in-law were so bold and careful that she actually thought of buying some goods in the name of a caravan under the pretext of visiting relatives. This is a brilliant plan, and with the guards we have sent, even if there are really any thieves to rob them, they will not be afraid. Unexpectedly, there was an internal annihilation in the caravan, provoking such a large group of thieves, if it weren't for Xiaotian to lend a hand, I am afraid that this time not only the Skyhawk Chamber of Commerce will be destroyed, but the Daronx family will also be burdened with debts!"
"I see!" I nodded with relief, indeed, these magic jewelry may be surprisingly expensive in the human race, but they are not valued in the elven race, but I have seen many elves throw the made jewelry into the corner of the wooden house. Perhaps, making magic jewelry is just a pastime for them. The Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce obtains these jewels from the elves, but in fact, what it really needs to pay may only be a small part of the money or materials, and the real difficulty is just how to trade with the elves.
Duke Jesse said: "That's right, so this caravan is a matter of life and death for our family. To be able to meet Xiao Tian at this time is really the luck of our Daronx family. ā
I shook my head and said, "Your Excellency is serious. ā
"By the way, why haven't you seen a few ladies and misses?" Duke Jesse suddenly laughed and said, "My little nephew has been talking all day long about wanting to see your little sister again!"
I realized that since he entered here, his eyes had been implicitly expectant, as if he was expecting something. Hearing him say this now, my heart suddenly moved, and I turned my head to look at Paran, and found that there was also a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Did they recognize Philia?, I wondered. If that's the case, it wouldn't be surprising at all, after all, Paran can be said to have grown up watching Filia, and he did recognize him in the past. However, after more than half a year, Filia has been constantly washing the meridians and veins, and both her appearance and body shape and expression and temperament have changed a lot. Besides, they hadn't seen each other for more than a decade, and it seemed unlikely that they would be easy to recognize.
"yes? Your little sister Alice seems to be only ten years old, isn't it? I couldn't even see her last time?" told Jesse, but he didn't believe it. This time, I wanted him to see it for himself. Paran added.
There must be something wrong here!? I'm almost sure in my mind. At this time, I suddenly remembered that Philia had said that Alice looked very similar to her when she was young. In this case, Paran must have been suspicious, so all of a sudden, I understood. This time, Duke Jesse came to thank me or just by the way, the real purpose was probably to see Alice. Since this is the case, then he probably misses Phia very much. This, for me, is absolutely good news. After all, yesterday I was still worried that if Filia finally made up her mind to visit Duke Jesse, she was coldly confronted by the duke, and even driven out again. Then not only did I work in vain, but I also let Philia suffer a lot of grievances in vain, and it would be miserable.
