The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 132 The Great Harvest

After playing a few simple sleep-aid games, Millicent fell into a deep sleep.

Li Ang also closed his eyes and took a nap. Since coming to the junction, he has hardly had much rest.

Early the next morning, the two woke up one after another.

Li Ang was in high spirits and made up for his lost energy, but Millicent was a little sluggish. She had been having embarrassing weird dreams last night and couldn't sleep well at all.

"I'm going to talk to General Broken Star about something. You stay in the room for a while." Li Ang noticed that the girl was a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to leave, leaving her room to relax.

In fact, nothing happened between the two of them last night, they just had a good night's sleep.

The most intimate contact was just a hug, which was done by Millicent unconsciously after he was asleep. She would not let go of him when she hugged him. It was obvious that she was extremely insecure in her heart.

After leaving the room and closing the door, Li Ang planned to find an acquaintance to ask where Latarn was.

After walking a few steps, I happened to bump into Oga who was yawning profusely.

He seemed to have just woken up, his eyes were hazy, he smelled of hangover, and the white discharge from the corners of his eyes had not been cleaned.

"Lord Li Ang, are you getting up so early?" Oga said and couldn't help but yawn.

After the dinner yesterday, he, Jie Lian and several other guests gathered together for a few more drinks, which ended not long ago.

So he didn't just wake up, but he didn't sleep at all.

In normal times, with the strict discipline of the Red Lion, he would definitely not be so indulgent, but who made yesterday's situation special? Even Jie Lian, who has always been rigid, fell in with them.

"Good morning to you, Oga." Li Ang greeted with a smile.

"Did you have a good rest last night?" Oga winked and showed a smile that every man knows: "That is the best guest room in the City Lord's Mansion, the bed is big and soft."

Perhaps due to the influence of alcohol, he spoke much more casually.

"It's really good." Li Ang followed the trend.

The secret of the boudoir is not enough for outsiders to understand.

"The even better ones are yet to come!" Oga said mysteriously, but immediately closed his mouth again: "Shh, don't tell them that I told you."

Li Ang saw that his steps were frivolous and he was drunk, so he advised: "You should go back and rest early. I didn't hear anything just now."

"Didn't you hear it?" Oga looked surprised: "Then I'll say it again."

"We have privately decided to pick out a few gifts for you to repay your kindness to the general and all the Red Lions."

"Did you hear clearly this time?"

Li Ang nodded helplessly.

"That's good." Oga seemed to be relieved: "I'm going to take a nap first. If you need anything, you can go to Lord Jie Lian. He's in the City Lord's Hall."

Li Ang urged: "Go quickly."

Given Oga's current state of half-asleep and half-awake, it would be difficult to ask him about Latarn's whereabouts. It would be more reliable to ask Jie Lian.

In addition, Li Ang was quite curious about gifts. He didn't know what the rough guys like Red Lion would give him.

As a result, just as he was about to say goodbye to Oga, he suddenly said: "Sir, please wait for me for a moment, I will go back to the room to get something." After that, he turned around and ran away.

About a few minutes later, he hurried back, holding a wooden staff with a purple light at the top.

"This is my gift to you. I picked it up while patrolling near the swamp a few days ago. I know you want to learn gravity magic from the general. I hope it will be useful to you."

Li Ang took the wooden stick and looked at it carefully.

I thought: Isn’t this a [Meteorite Staff]? Its effect is to enhance the power of gravity magic.

When he first played the game, he chose mage as his initial profession. He relied on this staff and the spell [Rock Ball] to get through the difficult pioneering period (trucking classes).

"You actually gave me such an expensive gift? I deserve it."

Oga explained: "Nothing is more valuable than the life of the general. Not only me, but all the Red Lions think so."

"So you have to accept it no matter what."

Li Ang looked reluctant: "Okay, I accept your kindness and will repay your kindness. I will completely solve the corruption left in your general's body."

"Thank you, sir." Oga was very excited and kept thanking him.

Later, Li Ang bid farewell to Oga, who was still in a state of calm, and headed to the city lord's hall.

With the meteorite staff at the base, he was looking forward to the next gift more and more.

When they arrived at the hall, the hooded old knight was discussing something with several of his subordinates. Li Ang did not bother him and found a place to sit down.

Jie Lian and others nodded to him, and then continued to chat about them.

"Recently, the flying dragons in the north don't seem to be very honest?"

One of his subordinates laughed and said: "Their grandmother, Gui'ol, is about to die of old age. Why don't these dragons and grandsons be in a hurry?"

Jie Lian sighed: "I remember that Gui'ol was already here before we came to Galede, right? It seems that another legend is about to fall."

The subordinate shook his head: "More than that, it has existed longer than the Golden Dynasty."

Another subordinate interjected: "I heard that because of the spread of corruption, the dragons want to move to other places."

Jie Lian stroked the beard on his chin: "It's better to move away, so as not to have to send people to keep an eye on them."

"By the way, how do you deal with those bedbugs that sneak into the city?"

The subordinate replied: "They are all caught, and they are hanging on the flagpole in the square."

"Very good." Jie Lian nodded with satisfaction: "A bunch of idiots who overestimate their capabilities. The general has only been injured for a long time, but they dare to think wrong."

"Have you found out who you are from?" The subordinate lowered his head in shame: "I'm very strict with my words, so I can't tell you."

But Jie Lian didn't blame him: "It doesn't matter, I can make a rough guess. You go down first, and I will deal with it later."

Several subordinates were ordered to leave.

Jie Lian then turned to Li Ang and said, "Professor, how was your rest yesterday? Those brats didn't disturb you, did they?"

Li Ang said politely: "No, it was quiet all night."

"It's okay if you don't have one." As the second-in-command of the Red Lion, Jie Lian kept his attitude low: "The conditions in the city are limited, and I'm afraid you and your female companion won't be able to adapt."

Li Ang waved his hand: "She and I are not that delicate. We are very satisfied with a bed."

His humble attitude greatly increased Jie Lian's favor: "The general is right. If you don't join the Red Lion, it will be our loss."

"Oga must have told you about the gift, right?"

Seeing Li Ang's admission, Jie Lian laughed and said, "I knew it would be harder for him to keep the secret than to climb up the Snowfield of Transformation Saint."

Huasheng Snowfield is the highest point in the junction. For ordinary people, climbing up is about as difficult as climbing Mount Everest.

(Fen Zi Long Niubi!)
After teasing Oga, Jie Lian continued: "The gift is ready. If you are not busy now, I will get it for you."

Li Ang wanted to refuse, but the other party's attitude was really tough, so he had to agree.

Not long after, Jie Lian returned from the small room at the back of the hall, carrying a wooden box on his shoulder.

The wooden box fell to the ground with a dull sound.

The hooded old knight stretched out his hand and invited: "Open it and take a look, Professor, this is a good thing that I, Oga, and the others picked out last night."

At this point, Li Ang stopped being hypocritically polite and stepped forward to open the wooden box.

The first thing inside surprised him.

Jie Lian explained: "A long knife made entirely of pyroxene. In order to get it, we killed a lava earth dragon. Since you are a pyroxene mage, it should be suitable for you."

"It is indeed very suitable." Li Ang took out the sheath of the sword, and the blade emitted a blue light.

[Famous Blade Moon Shadow] is the most suitable melee weapon for mage, and it is also the item he has always wanted to collect.

Jie Lian could tell that he was very satisfied with the gift, and he stroked his beard with a smile.

Li Ang held Yueying and slashed it a few times, tried the feel, and then started to look at the next item.

The second gift was a talisman, which looked like a broken pot with various weapons inside. It felt rough like a stone.

"A talisman with mysterious power can increase the strength of the wearer." Jie Lian raised an arm to show off his strong muscles.

Li Ang rubbed the amulet and thought to himself.

[Dahu Zhongwu Amulet] Wherever it increases strength, it clearly increases the weight.

But in his hands, it became a good thing for increasing equipment grids. And unlike the memory stone, which adds one at a time, this amulet has more grids, the more it increases.

For example, he originally had 9 grids, but now he has 11.

(The Dahu Zhongwu Amulet increases the maximum weight limit by 19%, but writing it out is too numerical, so you just need to know the meaning.)
In terms of item effects alone, it is more useful than the famous sword Yueying.

"This gift has been sent to my heart." Li Ang praised.

Jie Lian looked proud after hearing this.

I gave you such a good gift. Are you embarrassed if you don’t stay with the Red Lion?

Li Ang ignored what he thought and looked directly at the strangest thing, a gray old crystal: "What is this?"

He thought it was some kind of precious gem, but Jie Lian's answer made him widen his eyes.

"Fight the grey-hound pace!"

War ashes are something unique to the Ring of Magic world and can be regarded as a special skill.

And Hound Pace is one of the most famous war grays.

The reason why it is famous is because of its incredible effect - short-distance instantaneous movement.

Whether it is attacking or dodging, it can be called a magical skill.

So when Li Ang knew that the broken crystal in his hand was the famous hound pace, he could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

With the famous sword Yueying + hound pace, he felt like he was invincible.

However, what surprised Li Ang even more was what came next.

The fourth and final gift was a long knife.

Except for the bright yellow handle that was more conspicuous, the other parts were unremarkable. Since it was the same type as Yueying, he didn't pay much attention to it at first until the moment he picked it up.

[Item: Claw Grinding]

[From the game "Cyberpunk 2077"]

Jie Lian was still explaining there: "I saw that Miss Millicent seemed to be very knowledgeable about knives, so I took it upon myself to prepare a gift for her."

"We don't know the exact origin of this knife, but the material is very hard."

"Because the attack has a lightning effect, we guess it has something to do with the disappearing ancient dragon."

"Yes, it makes sense." Li Ang responded perfunctorily, but his mind was entirely on the knife.
