The second floor of the Holy Silver Vine Arena.

Internal office area, executive director's office.

"We're going to talk to Countess Rosalinda about the extraction of our paintings, and then we're going to Nigel."

Lanch pressed the doorknob and said to Talia beside her.

"No problem."

Talia replied, holding the little black cat.

She was quite satisfied with today's harvest, and unexpectedly became a platinum-level card maker, and now Hugh Bao can boast that her aunt is a powerful and successful person even if she goes outside.

Open the door.

This is a spacious office of about 100 square meters, the floor is made of hundreds of years old oak, inlaid with Posen-style patterns, a mahogany office desk about two meters in diameter is the right focus, and an antique oil lamp forged from pure brass is placed on the sandalwood slab countertop, but except for a few brown paper documents waiting to be signed, no one is sitting anymore.

"Ranch, Tata, here."

On the sofa in the lounge area of the office, Rosalinda greeted the two and beckoned them to come and sit down.

"I'm ready for cheese and coconut crisp!"

I saw two very different women sitting on the sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling reading lamp made of stained glass with a collage of stained glass.

Rosalinda was still wearing the well-cut burgundy overalls.

The person who seemed to be talking to her just now was a younger-looking woman, her waist-length silver-white hair falling down her side like a waterfall.

"Who is this?"

Ranchi walked over with Tata and took his seat, asking Rosalinda about it.

"My friend, Etio, she also came to see the final round of the Platinum Card Maker exam today, and as the former champion of the Holy Silver Vine Arena, she also has some nominal positions in this arena now, such as some of my venue collaboration work is directly approached by her."

Rosalinda introduced.

"Miss Etio......"

Talia immediately remembered who she was.

The most popular event of the Posen Kingdom, the Huadu Holy Grail Demon Tournament, Duke Miyanya won the championship as an employer that year, and then after the victory, he returned his freedom to the champion messenger.

This Etio is a demon who was discovered by Miya's discernment, and taught her a lot of knowledge and skills, so that she quickly grew and became extremely powerful, regained her freedom and even became the lord of the demon realm in District 9.

The reason for Duke Miya's participation was simply to make Evatia happy, and Evatia loved to watch the game, and sometimes she liked to lie down and watch the excitement without worrying about it.

Presumably, both Rosalinda and Etio should be familiar with the Miyas.

"Lanchi, Tata, I'm sorry that there has been a lot of turmoil in the Posen Demon Realm lately, otherwise I would definitely entertain you."

Etio said to them.

Although she doesn't seem to have any expression, her voice is gentle.

Her eyes were a pale ice blue, crystal clear, crystal clear, and you could faintly see the brilliance flowing in them, she was wearing a pure white lace dress, the hem of which hung loosely at her side, as thin as a butterfly wing, and the jewelry was only wearing a simple silver necklace, and the skin around her neck was so white that it was almost snow.

"No, no, it's nice to meet you."

Ranch shook his head and replied.

The Posen Demon Realm is now divided into several demon lords, and almost they are the highest decision-makers in the Posen Demon Realm, and they are directly connected with the Senate of the Posen Kingdom.

Tonight's banquet of District 10 Lord Perlmanqing, District 9 Lord Etio may also attend, originally Lan Qi thought they would meet later today, but he didn't expect to meet her here in advance.

However, at the banquet tonight, his identity was Rocky McCarthy, and Etio must not recognize him.

Sector 9 Lord Etio and Sector 10 Lord Perlman are both the strongest in the Posen Kingdom.

There is also a human eighth-order assassin general, but he has now gone to the southern border of the Aquidan Territory, and it seems that the movements of the Cress Empire are becoming more and more mysterious, so that the strongest person has to be stationed in the south at any time to prevent a military god comparable to the bishop's level from attacking.

"Huberian didn't even come with you, it seems that there is only a chance that I will go to the Hutton Kingdom to see her again."

Etio muttered to himself with a look of regret in his eyes.

Although the expression still did not change, the slightly throbbing gaze was like thinking of a lovely person.

"Has Miss Aetio seen her?"

Lanch asked curiously.

If there are people who know each other, they will feel like they are familiar at first sight as soon as they meet and chat.

And Talia has begun to silently eat the cheese coconut crisp gift box that Countess Rosalinda pushed her, in addition to the layers of puff pastry and melt-in-your-mouth cheese, the sweet coconut fruit is paired with the sweet and sour hawthorn cake when you bite into it.

"I've met a few times, and I've gotten along pretty well with her."

Etio spoke to Ranch with nostalgia.

Talia became alarmed when she heard this, and her eyes shifted from the coconut crisp to Etio, who she had rarely heard of Huberian willing to accept the care of women other than herself.

Her special status seems to have been challenged.

Ranch glanced at Talia, telling her not to panic yet.

"What do you think of Huberian?"

Ranchi asked Etio.

Listening to Lanchie, Talia almost asked the gossip question, "Do you want to be Huberty's stepmother?"

But he did ask very measured and polite.

"I really want to give her a little bit of mother-like care......"

Etio spoke plainly.

Taria's eyes were half complicated.

"It's a pity that she is a little bit close to me, but not much, and I don't understand why."

Etio said again.

At this point, Talia breathed a sigh of relief and began to eat dessert.

Sure enough, she was the ideal mother for Huberian.

Ranchi seemed to know this answer from the beginning, and did not comfort Talia at all, but just looked at the demon Etio with a trace of regret, as clear as crystal.

He knew the answer.

But he can't say.

Because in order to become Hubert's mother, there are three hard conditions that must be met, and Adeo only meets two of them.

“……”

The back of Talia's hand trembled, and she was too embarrassed to do it in front of two people.

This damn Lanch didn't say a word that offended her, but a simple look almost offended her!

Holding back her anger, Talia could only think for the better.

No matter what Lanch thinks, Huberian is still good for her, and it can only be said that Huberian is better than Lanchi.

Forthwith.

Talia couldn't help but look at Countess Rosalinda and then at Etio.

Although it was a bit rude to think like this, she somehow felt that Rosalinda and Etio were a bit of a like-minded person.

They may have been having an Evatia critique meeting just now.

"You may be mistaken, I don't have that kind of idea for Miyath and Evadia, they are purely my teachers and friends, I just want to take care of their children."

Etio said suddenly.

To the surprise of both Ranch and Taria.

"Can you see what the two of us are thinking?"

Talia hesitated for a moment and asked her.

She read that Aeio was telling the truth, and that Aeio really didn't have any special thoughts about the Miyas.

"Miyaya and Evatia always made eye contact like this at the beginning, and after looking at it for a long time, you can probably guess it."

Etio explained.

Just by talking about it, it was as if Countess Rosalinda on the side was struck by a crit, and Countess Rosalinda could only pick up the goblet, and the bitter wine hurt in her throat.

Neither Ranchi nor Talia could talk.

On the one hand, it was a little embarrassing for the two of them to see through their careful thoughts, and on the other hand, they had no intention of hurting Countess Rosalinda.

It turns out that there is only one defeated dog.

That's the cruelest thing.

"Are you two thinking of something very rude?"

Rosalinda felt that Ranch and Tata's eyes were in sync at this moment.

These two people treat others as blind every time they look at each other and make some small movements, which is actually obvious, right?

"No, no."

Both shook their heads.

The two of them are obviously encrypted communications, why can they always be recognized.

"By the way, do you know anything about Epotia? We've always wanted to help Huberian get her mother back. ”

As if suddenly remembering something, Ranchi asked Etio and Rosalinda.

He had already thought that he would be able to get some clues from someone who was familiar with Miyath and Evathia in the Posen Kingdom, and he might be able to get some clues that he couldn't get in Hutton.

And the other party knew that he and Tata were both friends of Hubertion, and he would not be surprised by this kind of problem.

“……”

Rosalinda pursed her lips and shook her head, she was more socially connected with Miya.

Whenever she saw Evadia, Rosalinda just wanted to hold back her tears and run away.

For her, seeing the two of them kissing without drawing is considered a success.

Her eye sockets are redder now.

"Uh......"

But when Etio heard this, his lips opened slightly, and he sat up straighter.

Something seems to have come to mind.

"Miss Etio, do you know anything?"

More concerned than Ranch, Talia asked, looking at Etio.

"Sister Evadia...... She once told me that she wanted to go to the ruins of the Cress Empire to find an ancient potion of potential, legend has it that the use of that kind of secret medicine can shorten the lifespan to stimulate potential, and its shortened lifespan is proportionally reduced, if the demons are used according to the ration, they will become similar to humans, I guess she wants to grow old with Miya, I can't accept that she watches Miya grow old alone......"

Etio muttered.

"Then why didn't she go when she told you?"

Ranch asked, puzzled.

"Because Evadia has procrastination, even if she has an idea, she doesn't necessarily follow it right away."

Or maybe Miya's care for Evatia completely made her unable to move.

It wasn't until Evatia had a fight with Miyojah that she vanished into thin air.

Now that Etio thought about it, he felt that according to Evatia's character, it was possible that he would have left Miyoya to achieve this goal.

“……”

Ranchi slowly glanced sideways at Taria.

You demons are really weird.

It seems that Evatia left more than ten years ago, and there is a high probability that she ran away from home.

Sure enough, you can't just find a pure-blood demon wife.

Marry a demon wife and enjoy a single life.

Talia sneered at Lanchi's heart.

If you want to marry, there is no place to marry.

Except for her occasional gentleness towards Lanqi, Hugh Bao has always been accommodating to Lanqi, how can any girl stand this guy.

He will not be married.

"But a person's life is very short compared to the demon itself, is it really cost-effective for her to spend more than ten years looking for medicine?"

Ranchi asked, looking at Etio again.

These ten years have been irreparably long for both Miyana and Huberian.

Although he could understand Evadia's thoughts, he was not an immortal nor Evadia, and he had not experienced Evadia's life, so he could not put himself in Evadia's mood at that time.

"It's hard to say."

That's all Etio can say.

If Evatia really fell in love with Miyaya completely, she might have to take ten or twenty years to find a medicine that would allow her and this human to live a real life as a couple, which is a price that she can accept and must pay.

"Shouldn't this medicine be poison for the demons?"

Talia couldn't understand why her sister would spend so much money to find a potion that would hasten her own death.

If it were her, even if this medicine was given to her, she would not choose to drink it.

"I don't understand it either, but I'm sure Sister Evadia figured it out."

Etio shook his head and said.

“……”

Ranch didn't know if the results were a good thing or a bad thing.

If Ephetia couldn't find the medicine, Huberian would have only the beginning of a happy family, but not the end.

And whether she can find it or not, she has not been accompanied by her mother since she was a child.

But he and Tata did get a useful piece of information.

There is a high probability that Evatia is in the Cress Empire.

On the way to find Myraiah, they might be able to find Ephetia first.

A few people in the office were chatting.

The sky was covered with clouds, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, an alternative sunset could be faintly seen.

Dark gray clouds blanketed the city, completely obscuring the original sky.

It was like a glow obscured by a heavy gray veil, and strands of rich crimson threads could be faintly seen, occasionally breaking through the clouds and carving a gap in the gray sky.

"By the way, Sister Rosalinda, do we have a means of mailing and shipping our paintings?"

Ranch looked at the sky, estimated the time of his rendezvous with Nigel, and asked Countess Rosalinda.

After paying the material fee, the ownership of the works completed in the examination belongs to the candidates themselves.

"Regarding that painting, there is no better way to send it back to the Hutton Kingdom for the time being, and now facing a war that may break out at any time, the risk is much higher than before, and multinational transportation companies are no longer willing to sign high-value insurance policies, so you have to bring it back in person."

Rosalinda said to them.

"Can you please ask Senior Sister Rosalinda to help us keep it during this time?"

Seeing that Tata was concentrating on his pastries, Ranchi made his own decision for the two of them.

"Yes, yes, but I would recommend that it be better in an official institution in the Parrieux than in the Count's Court of Asturias."

Rosalinda nodded hesitantly,

"When are you going back to Hutton?"

She asked again.

"Maybe two or three days, maybe a week?"

Ranch replied uncertainly.

As for the rare materials he and Talia needed to reconcile the [Kaltiera Chronicles], Countess Rosalinda and the Badisti family had almost completed the acquisition for them, including a few pink sacred-class items.

However, at present, the cooperation between the two of them is still a ghost, and there is always a hurdle that cannot be passed, and the original plan was to complete the card production in the Pallieu Rental Card Workshop, but now it may be necessary to return to the Hutton Kingdom first and then think about it in the long run.

In the temple of the flower capital Parrieux, there is an epic statue of the god of will and love, which can be blessed by the spirit system for a limited time by praying, and there is also a small probability of achieving some success rate buff effect on the production of spirit magic cards.

So their initial plan was to complete the card production by the end of August.

Now it seems that it will not be possible.

It's a blessing that the two of them don't quarrel when they make cards.

"Then I suggest that during your stay in Poson, this painting be displayed at Platinumson Palace for a limited time? And there will be a certain amount of fee income, and I can help you and Platinumson Palace arrange everything. ”

Rosalinda suggested.

Buckkinson Palace itself is the best place to secure the precious art, much more secure than Earls' Court.

There has always been a saying that even if the Senate is breached, the Platinumson Palace will still be impregnable.

Of course, no one is crazy enough to go and really fight the Senate.

"No problem."

Ranch replied dryly.

This thing is also a trouble for her to put this thing in the house of Countess Rosalinda , it is better to go to the White Prostitute Platinumson Palace, and there is no need to pay the storage fee and there is an exhibition fee.

"Is there anything else you can tell us about Evadia?"

Talia asked as she picked up another piece of cheese and coconut crisp.

She and Ranch could sit here and talk a little longer.

On the one hand, she wanted to know about the information, and on the other hand, she really missed her sister too much, and just hearing about the trivial things of her sister's life in those years made her very satisfied.

"If there is anything perfect in the world, it must be Sister Evatia."

As if he had found a soulmate, Etio leaned forward for half a minute.

“？”

Talia was stunned by Etio's sudden enthusiasm.

Etio, who originally looked a little cold, had a look of longing in his eyes at the moment.

"Let's put aside how good-looking Sister Evatia is, her sleeping beauty appearance not only has a dreamlike gentleness, but also a fascinating intelligence and cuteness, I can't imagine that an eighth-order demon clan will be like this, I feel that she should be far away in the sky, but she is indeed accompanying me in front of my eyes, she is so lazy and comfortable, as if to remind the world that the real beauty does not need to be deliberately publicized, and her restrained talent can always easily solve all problems, and a little naughty and cute, she is really a princess!"

Etio was a little hard, and he clenched his fists as he spoke.

However, she quickly realized that she was overacting and coughed lightly.

“……”

Lan Qi saw Countess Rosalinda on the other side tilting her head and drinking, and she only felt that it was too cruel for her.

In the past, Rosalinda would complain to them hysterically, but now she can only cry silently.

It turns out that Etio is Evadia's little fan sister.

It is also understandable that when Aedeo was not free, Evatia was a great demon that could not be seen in the Posen Kingdom at all, and it was normal for Aedeo to be admired.

"But Sister Evatia said that she also has a sister, who is the perfect princess of her ideal, and she has been clinging to her sister since she was a child, but unfortunately she really can't become a demon princess like her sister."

Etio suddenly thought and said to the two,

"I can't imagine what the more perfect Princess Talia is like when Sister Evatia talks about her."

“……”

Ranchi and Talia looked at each other again.

The sister in Evadia's mouth, isn't that Talia?

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Lan Qi asked, full of curiosity.

Talia also cared about what Evatia had to say about herself.

"Sister Evatia said that Sister Talia is very powerful, much stronger than her, and after a hundred years, I am afraid that it is unimaginably strong, and she will not be as lazy as she is."

Etio said.

"Poof......

Lan Qi couldn't hold back for a moment, and before he could say anything, he coughed twice as if he had been stopped, and then said no more.

Etio looked at Ranchi and Tata staring at him in confusion, wondering what was wrong.

"No, don't worry about us."

Ranch said with a deep breath.

"And it is said that Sister Talia is quite self-disciplined, she quits eating sweets, and when she has a rare opportunity to enjoy desserts, she only allows herself to eat the most high-end ones, and she will not indulge in lust like a fallen demon at all, and her sister with such a firm will will definitely implement her wish to restore the country, and she will not easily forget the long-cherished wish of the demon race."

Etio nodded, continuing to preach to the two.

The half-bitten pastry in Talia's right hand stopped.

She now feels that she is not finished eating, nor is she letting go, and she is struggling and tormenting in her heart.

And Lanchi on the side was already desperately lowering his head, and his shoulders were shaking constantly.

It seems that it is painful to endure laughter.

The more Talia thought about it, the angrier she became.

If she holds the coconut crisp, she can't hit Ranchi.

If she puts down the coconut crisp, she can't forgive Ranchi.

Finally, Talia couldn't bear it anymore, and chose to finish the coconut crisp and then reached out and pinched Lanchi, who was not so shy at first, because Lanqi's smile felt that her face might be a little red.

"Sister Evatia also said that Princess Talia will never rely on any other demon clan like a queen, and as a princess, she is dignified and reserved, and will only allow her favorite demons to get close to her, such as Evatia."

Talia immediately withdrew her hand from the back of Ranchi, listening to Etio's words as if she were on pins and needles.

She now felt that even if she died, she would not be able to reveal her identity in front of Etio.

Otherwise, it will be a shame.

"Lanchi, I heard you've been to the Northern Continent, have you heard of Taria?"

Aeio finished talking about Princess Talia and looked at Ranch and asked.

She had heard from Rosalinda that Ranch had traveled to the Northern Continent to work on a project at the Academy of Ecrita.

In the Northern Continent, there may be something about Taria, because in addition to what Evatia told her, Etio can only see the name of the Talia sister in the history books that have been handed down in the Northern Continent.

"I did hear of that fairy sister."

Ranch did his best to keep his expression open.

The laughter just now almost made his ears red.

"What did you hear about her?"

Etio asked Ranchi with great interest.

As soon as Lan Qi opened his mouth, he felt a gaze staring.

It seemed that Talia was warning him not to talk nonsense.

Ranch choked up.

He can neither speak the truth nor lie now.

"She is gorgeous, rational and moving, she is the most evil and evil to the crazy demon, the harm to the world is even greater than her talent, but she can control her heart and desires, compared to using force to solve the problem, she is better at breaking the enemy's heart, giving the enemy the most cruel curse and torture!"

Ranch directly recited the full text of the words of the original student Zestila.

The little magic dragon student he met when he first went to the Northern Continent and was working as a tutor was Talia's number one fan.

"It's worthy of my sister's sister."

Etio clasped his hands together, his eyes full of respect.

“？！”

Talia felt like she was going crazy.

Why do even students in the Northern Continent think so?

Because it's true.

It shows that there are indeed people on the North Continent who think so!

And Talia isn't sure if Ranch has ruined her reputation on the North Continent!

After all, Antanas almost mistook Lanchi for her husband.

"It's not too early, let's take our leave, thank you two for your hospitality!"

Talia grabbed Ranchi by the back collar and stood up with Ranchi as she stood up, saying goodbye to Rosalinda and Etio across the couch.

She knows that Etio is a white man, but Ranchi is a skewer, and if they continue to talk, Etio may be taken by Ranchi into a super anti-skewer sunspot!
