Chapter 120: The Marriage Contract and the Father

"Well, not long after I returned to the royal capital, my father made a marriage contract for me."

"The other party is the son of an earl, and he is powerful, and he has reached the level of a magister before I left the royal capital."

Speaking of this, Carroll smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Although I haven't seen it, it should be regarded as my Gaopan family, and I think my father has a lot to worry about this matter."

"But, teacher, you're only 20 years old, and you haven't seen each other, aren't you in too much of a hurry to get married now?"

Vivien listened to Carroll's story and looked at her with some concern.

Everyone also felt that such a marriage contract did not seem to be reasonable.

Carol smiled wryly, she knew that this engagement was not normal.

It stands to reason that as the most favored daughter of the Green family,

Marriage is such a thing, Carol herself has a certain choice.

But herein lies the problem.

The usually gentle father frowned at the mention of this marriage contract, unwilling to explain it to her.

He seemed anxious about it.

Years ago, Duke Green wanted to find a powerful partner for Carol.

This incident directly caused Carol to run away from her family and come to Oracle Town to work as a teacher.

My father paid great attention to the honor and interests of the family, but that was more than ten years ago.

Since the death of Carroll's mother,

He is no longer as concerned about the family's business and financial situation as he used to be.

The many chambers of commerce under the family also began to follow the instructions of the Green family strictly.

This trend even infected the family's most important etiquette, and Carol's father lost his rigor and caution when meeting the king.

The Green family still looks very prosperous, but in fact, it is all supported by the legendary mage Duke Green.

Once he dies, it could be when the Green family falls apart.

Carol saw the family's slow decline, and also saw her father's aging face.

This time back to the royal capital, Carol is ready to solve this problem that has plagued her for many years.

But she also knows very well that this matter is not so easy to solve.

She needs to think hard, make a plan and put in the effort to implement it.

First agree to the marriage contract to stabilize the father.

Then he repaired the relationship with his sister and actively communicated with other people in the family and the head of the chamber of commerce.

Re-planning the family's economy and business

These are all part of her plan.

It's going to be a long and arduous process.

Soon after arriving in the royal capital, Carol encountered many setbacks and obstacles, but she never had the idea of giving up.

Noticing that there was something unusual about the atmosphere at the table, Carol laughed:

"Don't talk about these troubles, I haven't tasted hot pot for a long time, I must have a good time today!"

With that, she raised her glass, and the orange-red juice shook against the wall.

"Cheers to a better tomorrow!"

Carroll raised a glass to celebrate the heartwarming moment.

"Yay!"

Tina shouted excitedly to her feet, and was the first to raise her glass to confront Carroll.

The crowd also smiled and stood up.

Since Hermione's arms weren't long enough, she had to jump onto the stool to touch the cup.

"Cheers!" X9

Everyone, including Ron, raised their glasses to celebrate this rare gathering.

In this joyful atmosphere, they celebrated this special occasion.

Carol and Vivien communicate with each other about their lives in the royal capital, sharing their joys and sorrows.

Hermione didn't know when she had talked to Zen about combat skills.

Watching the two of them seriously discuss the topic of who will cause more damage between the two methods of [Shoot the Skull] and [Pierce the Heart].

I feel that the two will be very compatible in the future.

Ron, on the other hand, sat quietly beside them, silently watching them.

Before you know it, there are more and more people around you.

Until then. Can I really let go of these?

Ron was silent as he looked at the scarlet juice that shook in his hand.

The path to godhood

Tina and Vivien saw Ron's eyes, and they keenly sensed his loneliness and unease.

Vivien just wanted to get up, only to find that Tina had already stood up.

She swaggered over, slapped Ron's tail, and sat down next to him.

"Do you want to be whipped by me again?"

Ron looked speechlessly at Tina, who had done a great disrespectful act.

Tina didn't answer directly, just snorted, and then asked as if nothing happened:

"What are you thinking, big serpent?"

"Just some inconsequential things"

Ron avoided her gaze and said aside.

"What a dishonest dragon, for the sake of the hot pot."

"If you have any doubts, just tell Tina, I'll try not to laugh at her."

Tina said proudly.

Ron looked up at Tina's blue eyes and felt her hidden concern.

He chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes:

"I wonder who stole the Coke I kept in the cupboard the other day."

"If I catch that thief, I'll give her a righteous iron fist, and then hang her up and whip her into a spinning top."

"Ahem, ahem!"

Tina suddenly became numb when she heard this, and the orange juice she had just taken a sip of was almost squirted out.

Fortunately, Vivian next to her gently patted her on the back.

She subconsciously scratched her head, smiled awkwardly at her, then turned her head to look at Ron carefully, and asked tentatively:

"Actually, I don't think you have to be so cruel Ron, maybe she's just thirsty?"

"No! For this injustice, I Ron hated it the most, and she must be punished severely! ”

Ron said with a look of justice on his face.

Now he looks exactly like the look on Tina's face every day when she goes out to carry out justice.

"You're right? Righteous Miss Tina. ”

“.”

Hearing this, Tina's face immediately turned red, and her mouth puffed up and argued: "Drinking a drink at home is not stealing Coke, and flying into your mouth by yourself can be considered stealing."

One after another, there are some difficult words, such as "I have no room for justice", "I have no hammer" and so on.

For a moment, the room was filled with joy.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Ron suddenly looked up at the door.

He sensed the legendary mage who had the scent of the sea on him.

"Is it finally here?"

————————

The gates of the Castle of Justice were closed, exuding an intimidating aura to the outside.

Legendary mage Rodney Green stands in front of the gate.

He was dressed in a dark blue robe, with no fancy decorations, but he exuded an extraordinary temperament.

His face was old and wrinkled, but his eyes were bright, and through his glassy eyes, he seemed to be able to see through everything.

His hair was neatly combed, and his slightly sparse white hair shimmered faintly in the sun.

His palms looked shriveled and powerful, making a faint rustling sound as they slid across his robe.

"Is this it?"

Rodney raised his right hand and waved it slightly, and the castle gate slowly opened.

The moment the gate slowly opened, everything inside the castle was revealed to him.

The stars in the night sky are reflected on the stone walls of the castle's interior, making everything even more mysterious.

Rodney stepped away and walked into the castle.

Silent waves of magic swept through.

All the constructed golems that were working hard were at a standstill.

They remain in a working position, frozen in place.

It's as if time has stood still.

The interior of the castle is spacious and open, surrounded by exquisite decorations and precious antiques.

Rodney's eyes shone with wisdom and inquiry, and he felt the cold sensation coming from them as he walked through a line of Kuro stone pillars, but he was unmoved.

He continued on his way, passing through a large hall, where a large door appeared in front of him that led to the next area.

Rodney felt the powerful magic emanating from behind the door, and his steps paused slightly.

But that didn't stop him from moving forward.

With a flick of his finger, he sent out a wave of magic, and the door slowly opened.

The restaurant, which had been a lively atmosphere, suddenly fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at the old figure standing in the doorway.

"What are you going to do?"

Carol looked at the familiar face and said in a lost voice.
