Chapter Twenty-Four: The Harvest of the Adventure Guild (Asking for Votes)

"News came from the royal capital that the king rewarded the 16 Golden Knights with the 'Medal of Valor'."

"Then we sent them to feed the horses."

Li heard this when she came in.

Yes! Do evil!

That's 16 Golden Knights!

Li Aili felt pity in her heart.

Seeing her walk in, all the knights in the study stood up suddenly. Qi Qi saluted her by beating her chest.

There was a muffled 'bang', which startled Li Ellie.

"Madam, without your [Healing Potion], we would not have sacrificed in this battle."

"On behalf of the lives you saved, I would like to pay you my respects." The knights bowed their heads in unison and saluted.

Li Aili hurriedly waved her hand, "Ah, no, no, no, the potion was purchased by your Duke with gold coins, and you should thank him." ”

Who knows, the duke also stood up and hammered her in the chest slightly.

"No, without your alchemy potion, no amount of gold can buy the knight's life." The handsome duke's blue eyes looked at Li Ellie with rare gentleness.

"So, can't the [Healing Elixir] really increase production?" George Winston, who replaced Balk as the deputy head of the Cold Emerald Knights, asked.

Ellie said bitterly, "Unless you can find a lot of water flowers, as well as the roots of Terra." ”

"Haven't you heard back from the Adventure Guild yet?" The Duke asked with a frown.

Balk rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Actually, there was already news the day before yesterday. ”

[But I was so busy 'tidying' up Anne that I forgot about it.] 】

Ellie Lee: "......"

That's what you can do.

'The day before yesterday', this sensitive point in time, reminded the men in the room of the 'literary works' of the ladies again.

Many people's forehead muscles are 'convex'.

In particular, with his own strength, he 'engaged' the Duke himself of the entire Order in various literary works.

He looked at Li Aili with an expressionless face, and the back of his hand was full of raised green tendons.

Li Aili was about to blow up her hair again, and immediately slapped her leg and said, "Ah! Then let's go to the Adventurers' Guild now! In case they find the Flower of Water and the Root of Terra, your Healing Elixir is guaranteed. ”

The mention of the healing potion calmed the rolling emotions of the knights a little.

The Duke scoffed, as if he had read someone's thoughts.

"Conrad, prepare the carriage." The duke rattled the bell and called the loyal butler outside the door.

Li Ailie, who successfully diverted her attention, immediately got up, "That's great, I'll go change my clothes, ah~ I can also send Lily and Anne back by the way." ”

Balk and George stood up almost at the same time and said in unison, "No trouble!" I'm going to pick her up! ”

Huge black "bubbles" appeared above their heads at the same time.

[If it weren't for Anne's threat of sleeping in a separate room, I really don't want her to have any more dealings with the Duchess!] 】

[If it weren't for Lily saying that they were separated, I really didn't want her to come to Constantinople again. 】

Li Eli: "...... the first article of the "Underground Literature Society", I will take the two of you to sacrifice the flag.

Seeing Li Aili angrily carrying the hem of her skirt and leaving, Arthur Leng Jade couldn't help it, and a smile appeared on her face.

……

Li Aili changed into a Crolo style and casually clipped her silky long blonde hair with a jeweled hairpin.

The Duke was already waiting in the hall on the first floor.

Seeing Li Ailie like a happy bird, bouncing down the stairs, a hint of disappointment flashed in her royal blue eyes.

In the carriage, the two sat side by side, and Li Aili lay on the window, humming a song to look at the scenery outside the window.

The result is to see the reflection of the duke.

The handsome man was looking at her quietly with his head sideways, one hand propped up on his side.

Li Aili froze suddenly.

She turned around slowly, "What are you looking at?" ”

Arthur Leng Jade retracted his gaze lightly, "It's nothing. ”

The carriage stopped in front of the Adventurers' Union.

When the branch president heard the news of the duke's arrival, he ran directly at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and only then did he have time to greet the duke at the gate, "Your Highness, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" ”

The Duke held out his hand to the carriage.

The branch president wondered what kind of person could make this notorious duke treat him like this.

I saw a slender and white hand stretched out from the gorgeous carriage and gently rested it on the duke's palm.

Glenn Spear, the branch president of the Adventure Guild, saw a peerless beauty slowly get out of the carriage.

Her appearance was astonishing.

Gülen was stunned until he received a "warning" from the Duke's gaze.

Those cold blue eyes only needed a cold flick, and Glenn, who was a Mithril hunter, broke out in a cold sweat.

Glenn hurriedly withdrew his gaze and stared at his toes.

The duke, whose face was a little cold, directly took off his crimson cloak and casually put it on top of Li Aili's head.

Then he led her all the way to the office of the president of the Adventurers' Guild.

After entering the door, Li Aili immediately pulled the cloak on the duke's chest, "How unsightly am I?" ”

Her nose was full of men's cold fragrance, and her white jade-like earlobes were red.

The Duke took his cloak, put it on the hanger on the side, and said slowly, "No, you are too good at seeing people. ”

Ellie Lee: "??? "Do you say that?

After Glenn followed in, she kept her eyes on her very well, and resolutely did not look in the direction of Li Ailie.

"Previously, Balk issued a mission under the name of Constantinople."

"I'll stop by to see if there's any news on the mission."

Gülen's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he hurriedly said, "Ah! Some! ”

Branch President Gülen immediately got up, walked briskly to the outside room, and gave a few words to his secretary.

A short time later, the secretary brought in a wooden box.

"This is the quest item that the Cuckold Adventure Squad brought back."

Li felt as if she had heard a terrible name.

However, the branch leader lifted the wooden box, and the entire box of frozen water flowers, as well as the Terra Root, successfully caught her eye.

The adventure party used her potion, so the medicinal properties of the magical plant were well preserved!

Her heart couldn't stop beating.

There really are amazing plants in this world!

There are at least 100 Water Flowers in the chest, and there are even more Terra Roots.

Li Aili immediately closed the box and nodded to the duke.

Duke Leng Jade said lightly, "Call the adventurer team that has completed this task to come over." ”

Glenn said: "Ah, it just so happens that they just came to ask about the settlement of the mission, so I called them up." ”

This time, Gülen went to ask for someone in person.

Li Ellie couldn't help but walk in circles in front of Arthur Leng Jade excitedly, "That's great, do you know what that means?" ”

The Duke raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and looked at her appearance with interest.

"Maybe I can entrust the adventurers to find all the alchemy materials!"

What has been the reason for restricting her from developing potions?

It's a limited amount of material every day!

If this problem is solved, won't the growth rate of her alchemy take off?

The 'Healing Potion' is about to increase production, and the Duke is in a very good mood.

"Celebrate tonight and inform Balk that they're having a banquet at the castle."

Li Ali didn't know that there was a pit here, and nodded happily in agreement.

The man slowly curled the corners of his mouth.

The Cuckold Adventure Squad followed Gülen in a restrained manner.

It seems that he was obviously instructed before coming in, and his eyes will never look at Li Aili's body more.

Li Aili sat back beside Leng Jade reservedly.

"Good day, Your Highness." The captain grabbed the hat in one hand and buckled it to his chest, and bowed slightly.

"I'm the captain of the Cuckold Adventure Squad, Hawson."

Li Aili was silent after seeing all the men in the team.

Your team name is really auspicious.

"Ah, may I ask a question?" Li Aili couldn't hold it back.

"Why did you choose this team name?"

The captain stared at the floor, remembering the president's reminder that the big men in the room didn't like to be looked at his wife.

"It's because of the goblins."

"Goblin soldiers wear a green steel helmet on top of their heads, which we just laughed at ourselves to get the name in.

"A squad of adventurers like ours is like a green-hatted 'miscellaneous soldier' in a goblin."

Li Aili was a little upset to get the answer, no one in this world understands her stalks.

"Where did you find these flowers, and the plant roots?"

"It's in the Kettle Forest."

"Are there a lot of these plants there?"

The captain of the cuckold team replied honestly: "There are a lot, just by the lake in the center of the forest, there are a lot of these small blue flowers, but there are many water system monsters guarding them, and they like to eat this kind of flower. ”

"If you have roots, there will be more growth around the big tree in the center. But the dryads didn't like us to collect the roots, so we had a hard fight with them to get them. ”

The Duke nodded, "I'm now issuing a long-term mission, once a month, you go to the Kettle Forest and collect these two plants for me. ”

"Pick in moderation, don't damage the environment in which these plants grow, we want to be sustainable," Lee added. ”

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, the carriage did not turn back.

"Huh? Aren't we going back? Where is this going? ”

The Duke did not answer until the carriage stopped at Canterlot's most famous shopping street.

The duke pulled the bewildered Li Aili, starting from the shops on the street, and almost swept the entire shopping street.

Follow the attendant holding the exquisite packaging box like a 'hill'.

The Duke purchased hundreds of beautiful dresses alone, enough for Li Aili to change them a day and wear them until next summer.

Then there were the things for makeup, and the duke didn't understand what these women used, but it didn't prevent him from saying, "Wrap me one of each."

Ellie Lee: "......"

Until she walked out of the last store at the end of the street, Li Ailie, who was in a trance, couldn't figure out what was going on.

The carriage would travel to Constantinople.

Before she could recover from the duke's 'feat' of spending tens of thousands of gold coins in an hour, she went up the stairs in a daze.

"Honey." The Duke spoke lightly.

Li Elli came back to her senses and looked at the man who was taking off his gloves at the bottom of the stairs.

"I bought something, remember to use it."

Ellie Lee: "......"

Li Li: "!! ”
