Chapter 5: Confessing to Ancestors and Returning to Ancestors (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After the joust, Sola returns to her girlhood boudoir.
My cousin's family, who originally lived in that yard, moved out overnight with great interest.
The housewife of Case stayed up late to preside over the renovation work.
It was important to decorate this courtyard as it was when her "baby daughter" used to live.
Alan accompanied the teacher to move back to the house, and Angel was also forced to move in by her grandmother.
In order to facilitate her to accompany her mother and brother nearby and enhance family affection.
Overnight, the Case's attitude towards Sola, a "poor relative", took a 180-degree turn.
Except for the somewhat naΓ―ve Angel, the other members of the family seem to be comfortable with such a change.
It's as if Sola deserves to be treated with great pomp.
Not "hospitality", to be exact.
Sora has been appointed as the successor by the main mother.
She is not some poor relative who came to her mother's house, and she is not even a distinguished guest.
She is the host.
She is the next patriarch of the Keys family, the noble young grandmother!
The next day, Sora's threshold was almost flattened.
The brothers and sisters who disappeared in the past, the cousins who had never shown up, seemed to suddenly emerge from the ground.
Everyone came to visit with expensive gifts, and when they talked about their family in the past, they inevitably shed a few tears.
Ms. Sora entertained these things appropriately and showed graceful demeanor.
Anqi saw it in her eyes, admiring her mother's demeanor, but also a little resentful.
"These snobs, what do they do!"
"Little junior sister, you are naΓ―ve when you say this."
Alan smiled and touched Angel's cat ears.
"If we don't deal with these snobs, who will do things for us?"
He hadn't forgotten why he had come here.
Sora needs to borrow the connections of the Case family to apply for immigration residency and a pioneer permit from the Silvermoon Monastery.
In the past, she was just a poor relative of the Keys family, and it was difficult to do things with others.
Now she is the successor of the Keith family, and her business is the family's business.
You don't need to ask for help, just arrange the errand.
For the people who specifically handle these trivial matters, that is, the "snobs" in Anqi's eyes, it is still necessary to be a little generalized, so as not to make a hindrance to the villain.
These people can't make a big deal.
But the ability to mess things up is huge!
Angel is young after all, and she is a little pretentious.
In fact, she really has no right to despise others for seeing the wind and rudder, and she herself came here today to pat herself on the back.
Although the Case family has turned from prosperity to decline, the pomp on the bright side is still the same as it was back then.
Every year on the third day of March, the whole clan must gather their strength to organize a grand trade fair.
The fair is an annual event in town.
Adventurers from all over Silvermoon Island gather in Case Town to search for rare treasures or set up stalls to sell their wares.
Today is the first day of the fair, and the whole town is bustling.
On her grandmother's orders, Angel reluctantly took her mother and Alan to the fair.
Angel knew her grandmother's intention: to take the opportunity of shopping to let her get closer to Sola and enhance the relationship between mother and daughter.
However, there is an indescribable barrier between her and Sora, and it is very awkward to get along.
At least for now, she can't open up to this somewhat strange mother.
On the contrary, Alan was not related to her, and not long ago beat her up, making her humiliated in public.
Angel should have 10,000 reasons to hate Allen, but inexplicably she didn't hold a grudge and got along quite well.
Angel couldn't tell, whether it was because she was completely convinced by Allen, and she was afraid of him in her heart, or because Allen was a very good person to get along with outside the martial arts arena and took good care of her.
It seems not bad to have such a tall, handsome and capable senior brother.
As the family of three wanders around the bustling venue, Sora tries to find a variety of topics to talk to her daughter.
Angel carelessly copes with errands.
Only Alan was seriously shopping, stopping in front of the stall from time to time, looking through all kinds of strange things.
If the stall owner comes over for a party, the most frequent phrase heard from him is:
"Can I eat this?"
Angel walked half the street with Alan and gradually realized a serious problem......
"My eldest brother...... Isn't he a foodie? β
Sora couldn't help but laugh when she heard her daughter talking to herself.
"You guessed it, Eren eats a lot of food."
"It's not surprising, just look at how tall he looks!" Angel complained angrily.
She inherited her mother's genes, and she is only 1.5 meters tall, petite and exquisite.
With short ear-length hair and a cat-ear hairpin on her head, she looks like an innocent little sister.
Walking with Alan, I had to raise my head when I spoke, and I felt that I had no self-esteem......
"Damn! Why are you so tall?! β
Angel muttered smutteringly.
Alan heard the whispers of the mother and daughter and secretly laughed.
He eats a lot, but he doesn't go hungry.
The main purpose of visiting the trade fair is to enrich the food ingredients that come with the system.
By the way, you might be able to find ......
Well?!
Alan stopped abruptly and turned his head to look at a nondescript stall.
A system prompt was echoing in his head.
"Strange ingredients detected!"
Good luck!
Isn't this just shipping?
Alan rubbed his hands together and licked his lips.
Angel saw his hungry look on his face, his big eyes, full of confusion.
"Who's ...... that"
She was still embarrassed to call her mother in public, so she pulled at Sora's sleeve.
"Big brother, the expression looks so strange, like a villain with bad intentions......"
"Don't talk nonsense, Alan just found something of interest." Sora smiled and took her daughter's hand, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." β
Alan had his eye on a bottle of wine.
"The best crab blood wine! Authentic Dark Region Production! β
"The brainchild of the Dwarven brewing master!"
"Ten years of cellaring, like a fake!"
"20 magic stones in a bottle! Brother, what you buy is what you earn! β
The stall owner was foaming at the mouth.
"Crab blood sake" is really a spirit made from crab blood, and the raw material is a monster called "cave fishing crab".
This giant crab that lives in dark areas has a similar habit to a spider.
Perched high in underground caves, a transparent silk thread hangs down and acts as bait for hunting.
Passing creatures, when they touch the silk thread, they are firmly glued.
Fishing for crabs in the cave is like fishing, closing the fishing line, catching the prey, and having a good meal.
The dwarven miners of the underworld love to round up and fish for crabs.
When you catch one, you will use a pickaxe to crack open the hard shell and drink the crab blood.
The blood of the cave fishing crab is rich in alcohol.
For the dwarves who are addicted to alcohol, it is a high-class drink with a unique flavor.
To pay more attention to it, the plasma of the cave fishing crab is used as raw material, supplemented by various spices, and through a series of processes such as fermentation and distillation, it is made into spirits.
The "crab blood wine" brewed in this way usually has an alcohol of no less than 80 degrees!
It's spicy in your throat, like swallowing a fire!
Alan doesn't have much interest in spirits.
I took a fancy to this bottle of wine, just because the blood of the cave fishing crab belongs to a special ingredient!
After some haggling, it was finally sold for 14 magic stones!
Alan unscrewed the bottle, used the cap as a glass, and took a sip.
Burst!!
"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"
It's so spicy that my tongue cramps and my throat burns!
Angel saw it next to her, gloating and clapping her hands.
Alan glanced at the unlucky girl and took the juice from Teacher Sora to moisten her throat.
Alan was sure that the crab blood wine was not suitable for him, and such a strong wine, maybe Senior Sister Tanya would like it......
Thinking of the senior sister who has not been in touch for a long time, I feel a little melancholy in my heart.
Sighing, Alan screwed on the cap and stuffed the entire bottle into the storage bag.
At the same time, receive the expected system prompt.
"Eat a special ingredient: blood products of cave fishing crabs!"
"Potential +1!"
"Physique +1!"
After taking a sip of the spicy dead man's liquor, his physique stat increased to 27 points.
There are 4 potential points, and there is still a long way to go before you can save enough 10 points and deduce the fifth-order meditation method.
Unfortunately, there were no other special ingredients to be found at the fair.
Ms. Sora has a broken potion recipe in her photo, and she takes it back to study it, and maybe she has a chance to complete it.
The prescription is added with wine, and the total price is 30 attributeless magic stones.
"Little junior sister, settle the account."
"Why should you make me pay for the purchases?" Angel's face was full of reluctance.
"Little junior sister, this is not sensible, just because you are a daughter and a junior sister, shouldn't you be filial to your elders and express your expression?" Alan smiled slightly, "If you're not convinced, I'll have to talk to your grandmother." β
"Don't! I...... Can't I pay? Angel gritted her teeth and barely squeezed out a smile, "Senior brother! If you have anything else to like, just buy it, it will be counted in my account! β
Alan was eager to take the opportunity to knock her out.
Helplessly, Teacher Sola felt sorry for her daughter and gave him a look, hinting that it would be enough.
also specially found a secluded place, pulled Anqi, and secretly stuffed her with a large bag of magic stones.
Angel resolutely refused.
However, seeing that there seemed to be tears in her mother's eyes, she was inexplicably sad, and finally accepted the money.
More than ten years of prejudice can not be reversed overnight, but she has to admit that her mother is not the bad woman she originally thought.
Getting along for a long time may be able to eliminate the estrangement between mother and daughter.
After shopping, the three of them went to the most exclusive restaurant in town for lunch.
Angel also remembered Allen's "foodie" attribute, and asked Allen to order whatever he liked and eat as much as he could.
She can afford it!
Alan took the menu, didn't bother to look at it carefully, and said directly to the waiter, "Come and have a full set." β
"Uh...... Sorry, we are a restaurant and don't offer that kind of service. β
"I mean, get all the items on the menu!"
"Distinguished guests...... You're not kidding? The waiter was stunned.
"What do you mean, I'm afraid that my junior sister won't be able to pay the bill?" Allen's face sank.
"Don't dare, don't dare! If only you were happy! The waiter ran away.
Angel frowned.
I suspect that Alan is filling the glass, and he can't eat by ordering a bunch of things, so he doesn't have to spend money anyway, right?
Ms. Sola took an elegant sip of black tea, put down the teacup, and patted her daughter's hand with a smile.
"These things on the menu may not be enough for your senior brother to eat."
Angel was speechless.
By the time Eren started eating, she was even more speechless.
What's so ...... It's a living rice machine!
Angel couldn't even take care of eating, and watched Alan eat Hesse on the sidelines.
In the end, I couldn't hold back, leaned over, lifted Allen's shirt, and stared at my belly.
She wanted to figure out one thing.
This person doesn't seem to have too much belly capacity, how can he stuff a meal that exceeds the volume several times over?
All kinds of meals kept going down, and Alan's lower abdomen was still smooth.
Angel couldn't see why, so she touched it......
Sora watched from the side, laughing and coughing lightly.
Angel came back to her senses and withdrew her hand with a red face.
I didn't understand the magical structure of Alan's belly, and I didn't be embarrassed to confess to my mother that I was a little obsessed with the wonderful feeling of stroking my brother's eight-pack abs......
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
A beautiful young woman walked into the box, bowed to Sola as soon as she entered, and was honored as "Young Mastermother".
"You're welcome, Cousin Lisa, let's sit down and eat together." Sora said kindly.
The young woman is from a branch of the Keith family, and her strength is mediocre, but she is only a high-level apprentice.
Sora calls her cousin, which is polite, but she is actually the retinue sent by Mistress Keys to her daughter.
Lisa was still able to carry it, and stood aside respectfully.
"Young master, there is something at home, the housewife asks you to go back and deal with it, Young Master Allen and Miss Angel, please go back together."
"What happened to the Cases?" Behind the mountain of plates, Alan's voice was heard.
Lisa was shocked when she saw the amazing amount of food that Young Master Allen had eaten, and she quickly replied:
"About an hour ago, a young man and a woman suddenly broke into our manor."
"The male calls himself 'Dorne' the 'Male Bee', and the female is Daisy' the 'Female Bee'."
"These two men, claiming to be from Red Moon Island, are disciples of Elder Grisha......"
Hearing her say this, Sora's face had changed.
"Drones" and "females" are both self-names of the bee-man family.
The two of them are from Red Moon Island, and they are Grisha's students, and she has already guessed eight or nine points of the intention of these two people.
Lisa's next revelation confirms Sora's worst fears.
"Dorne and Daisy, claiming to be on Grisha's orders, are going to take their teacher's daughter and bring her back to Red Moon Island to cultivate."
Lisa glanced at Angel carefully, lowered her voice and said:
They also said that they could no longer let the Keys ...... Waste Miss Angel's talent. β
"Grisha's blood and bones, the Keith family is not qualified to occupy it."
"Miss Angel, you must go back to Red Moon Island with them...... Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors! β
