Lord Chronicle

Chapter 92 Prosperity
"It's great, I finally regained my handsome original face." Beside the fire, Sol stared at the original face in the mirror, and said happily.

Pfft... The group of people who were drinking water immediately spewed out far away.

This was the fifth day the group left Bahrain. With the help of the Adventurer's Guild, after several days of trekking, they successfully returned to Lowell with the treasure.Coincidentally, the night before arriving in the town, the disguise potion provided by Hitches just reached the deadline, so everyone returned to their original state.

After being a "man" for half a month, Jessica finally regained her feminine appearance.It's just that she was still wearing men's clothes at this time, and her chest was kept flat because of the cloth strips wrapped around her, but coupled with her delicate appearance, she was quite heroic.

"What are you going to do with these things when you go back?" Chip asked, pointing to the large carts beside the camp.

On the way back, they inspected this batch of treasures. Although Cliff had spent a lot of them, the rest still left everyone dumbfounded. Even Sol, who had seen it once, had the illusion of being dazzled.

To be honest, Sol really wanted to embezzle it, so that it would be enough for Lovell to use gold to pave the way in the future.But thinking about the promise I made to Conte Baker, I can only dispel this idea.

"Of course it is sent to the frozen plateau as soon as possible. Brevilla will wake up at some point," he replied.

Jessica also said: "Besides, if Cliff knows that the treasure was taken away by us, there is no guarantee that he will not take the risk. To avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to send the things out as soon as possible."

Their identities cannot be concealed forever, and they will be exposed sooner or later. At least the next time Reed sells the second batch of special products from the frozen plateau, no matter how stupid Cliff is, he will suspect Sol.For these treasures, he even dared to provoke dragons, so there was no guarantee that he would not attack Lovell desperately for this.

Although the territory is now covered by the Adventurer's Guild, Thor has to be afraid.So it's better to get rid of the things as soon as possible, and it will be more convenient to cheat when the time comes.

What also made them concerned was that all the signs that Ferry found intermittently showed that Cliff's purpose in doing all this was far from pure.So Sol also hoped that before everything became unmanageable, the matter on the frozen plateau would be completely resolved.

The covetous Cliff, the necromancer guild whose movements are unknown, a lot of territory problems such as capital and population, and the adventurer guild, an ally who may turn against him at any time... Everything makes Sol think about it. Woke up with a headache.

"I'm really uncomfortable being a lord..." He couldn't help sighing in his heart.

I don't know if he thought of the same problem as him, or for other reasons, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became dull.Everyone stopped talking, only the bonfire in the center of the camp made a crackling sound.

Jessica said empathetically, "Everyone is tired, and we will go back to town tomorrow, so let's rest." She got up and walked to the side.

"Miss Jessica, where are you going?" Seeing her walking towards the dark woods, Kress couldn't help asking.

Jessica blushed and said in a low voice, "I have something to do, let's leave for a while."

Kress was puzzled and wanted to ask, but Saul laughed and said, "Jessica, what's the rush? In fact, it doesn't matter if the cloth strip on the chest is untied or not, maybe it has been flattened a few days ago. "

"Who, who wants to do that kind of thing..." Jessica's face flushed instantly.

Sol shook his finger with a tut: "Don't pretend, I already knew it. You have been fidgeting since you just recovered, if it wasn't... wow!"

"You...you...sleep!" Jessica was trembling with anger, and finally dropped this sentence severely, turned around and got into her tent.

"Hey... hey... I guessed right, even if I change back to a woman, my temper still hasn't changed at all." Sol triumphantly drew such a "conclusion".

"Sigh." Looking at himself, the unprogressive lord, Chip and the others sighed at the same time.

"What, what's going on here?" Thor stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded.

The next day, when the group finally returned to the town, what appeared before their eyes was a scene full of enthusiasm.

In the direction from the entrance of the town to the relic forest, hundreds of people were digging on the ground with various tools in their hands. A few dwarves were standing on a high place, arguing loudly around a blueprint.Animals carrying earth and rocks are connected in a long string, coming and going along the roadside in an endless stream.There was a lot of noise and dust everywhere, and this area almost turned into a big construction site.

Strange, I remember that all large-scale construction projects in the territory were stopped before I left, what are these guys digging?Besides, Lovell didn't have to work so hard.

Just when Saul was puzzled, he heard a call: "My lord."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Reed.Seeing Sol and others, he ran towards this side with a look of surprise: "You are finally back. I have been waiting for several days. Did the journey go well?"

Jessica nodded: "Although there was an accident, I finally got the things back."

Sol didn't answer him, but pointed at those people with a look of surprise: "Reed, what's going on?"

Reed sideways avoided a horse team full of building materials, and said: "I just wanted to tell you that they are all members of the Adventurer's Guild."

"Adventurer's Guild?" Thor was taken aback: "What do they want?"

Reed walked towards the town with everyone, and said, "After Lord Atria sent me back to Lovell, I gave the things to Raul as you instructed. He was very happy and left in a carriage that day , but two days later, this group of guys will come."

After a pause, he continued: "Mr. Vince sent someone to ask these people, but they said that it was approved by you, my lord. It is said that they will build a side road leading to the relic forest within a few months, saying yes It will be convenient to capture Warcraft in the future."

Speaking of this, Reed shrugged, with an incredible expression on his face: "They must be crazy. They actually want to build a special road for a few monsters."

Sol and Jessica suddenly realized that after getting the "key", the Adventurer's Guild had decided to start a full-scale exploration of the ruins.So whether it is out of their own needs or to fulfill their promise to Sol, the construction of this road is imperative.

Thinking of this, Saul couldn't help being proud of his foresight again.The previous adventures were indeed worthwhile, and this way is now at hand.With the development of the ruins, I don't know how many benefits there will be.

"Mr. Vince asked me to ask you, do you need to stop them?" Reed said at this time.

Sol shook his head quickly: "Stop it? Why stop it, let them toss. In addition, pass on my order, no matter what needs they have, I will find a way to satisfy them."

Having said that, he hooked his fingers to Reed.After Reed approached, he whispered: "Of course, we Lovell are small and poor, so naturally we can't help for free. So don't be too polite, the Adventurer's Guild has plenty of money."

Reed and Saul exchanged a knowing look: "I understand."

Following him, he continued: "In addition, Mr. Manson sent me a message two days ago, saying that if you come back, please go to him as soon as possible."

"What?" Saul asked puzzled.After being frightened for half a month, I still want to take a good rest for a few days. Why are there so many things when I come back.

Reed scratched his head: "I don't know too well, it seems that he got out that thing called coke."

"What?" Sol was stunned, and then he was overjoyed: "Aha, it really is a disaster, and there must be good luck. Although I almost lost my passport in Bahrain... Bah, bah, anyway, my good luck finally came! "

The dwarf's persistence is indeed terrifying, and he was charred so quickly.If the news is true, Manson must have smelted a batch of good iron, and Lowell's armed level can finally be raised to a higher level.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Jessica: "I'll leave it to you here. Send those things to the warehouse as soon as possible, and send someone to take good care of them. I'll go to Manson's right away."

Seeing that he attached so much importance to coke, Jessica nodded: "I see."

Sol turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly said, "You just came back, don't be too tired, I will ask Marlene to prepare the meal, and I will wait for you to come back for dinner."

There was a warm current in Sol's heart, and he smiled happily: "Okay."

Jessica clapped her hands as she watched Sol leave in a hurry accompanied by Reed: "Everyone work hard for a while, and send the carriage to the warehouse. Tonight, we will hold a banquet at the Lord's Mansion to clean up the dust for everyone."

"Oh, you can eat the lord's free food again." The guards cheered and drove the carriage to the warehouse.

With the coke in mind, it wasn't long before Saul arrived at Manson's workshop.The place was as lively as ever, and the clanging of irons and the hot fire made him feel very cordial.

Sol and the others went to Bahrain to keep it strictly confidential. Except for those who participated in the operation, the residents of the town only knew that the lord had been away for a while. At this time, the blacksmiths saw him and greeted him affectionately.

Sol heard Manson's thick voice coming from a blacksmith's shop far away: "Intensify the fire more, concentrate, this thing is very precious, don't waste it..."

Sol and Reed walked over, only to see that the blacksmith room was full of people, all greasy muscular men as far as the eye could see.Manson was standing in front of a furnace, instructing two blacksmiths on a pile of ore.

Seeing him, Manson ordered a few more words before walking out: "My lord, you are back."

"I heard that you got the coke out, is it true?" Thor asked impatiently.

Manson nodded: "Yes, let's discuss the details in my workshop."

The three of them came to Manson's workshop, which was still in disarray, except for the iron tools they saw last time, there were also a lot of cinders and ores scattered on the ground.It can be seen that during this period of time, Manson also forgot to sleep and eat in order to play with such a new thing as coal.

Manson took out a grayish-white piece of charcoal about the size of a palm from the drawer of the table and handed it to Sol. After only one glance, Sol was sure that it was indeed coke.

"That's right, it's this thing! I didn't expect you to make it so soon." He was very surprised.

Manson looked pale: "Of course, there is nothing our dwarves can't do."

Speaking of this, he said with some admiration: "This thing is indeed as the lord said, and the effect is very good. The quality of the iron smelted with it is several times better than ordinary ones."

Seeing that the two were admiring such an inconspicuous thing, Reed picked it up and looked left and right with a face of confusion, but before he could see a flower from it, he was grabbed by Manson like a baby. snatched.

"How is the current output?" Saul was very concerned about this question.

There was a hint of embarrassment on Manson's face: "I also succeeded in the experiment by accident. The success rate is still relatively low. If it is to be mass-produced, I am afraid it will take some time."

Sol doesn't care about this, as long as he starts, it's only a matter of time before he masters the proficiency.Anyway, there are a lot of coal mines in the mountains, enough for Manson to toss about.

Probably to hide his embarrassment, Manson took out two iron ingots, and said with great interest: "Look, these two iron ingots were smelted with charcoal and coke respectively. It is obvious that this one Whether it is fineness or hardness, it is far superior to the other one."

To be honest, there is no difference between the two ingots of iron in Sol's eyes. Although he looked hard, he still couldn't tell the difference in the "quality" that Manson said.

In order not to spoil Manson's interest, he had no choice but to pretend to nod happily: "That's right, it's really good."

As he spoke, he asked again: "Is this kind of iron used to make equipment?"

Manson nodded: "I have used the smelted iron to make three sets of armor and weapons. Although I can guarantee that the quality is very good, but because the defense team has nothing to do recently, I can't find a chance to experiment."

Sol couldn't help touching his chin, which was a problem.Good iron is not enough for weapons and armor, it depends on whether the iron is suitable for making equipment due to its ductility, toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics.If a certain aspect is insufficient, the characteristics of the iron must be appropriately changed to finally meet the needs of the wearer.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Kaviland to become the best weapon production place in Dinar. In the long-term war against the Orc Empire, the production of each new equipment will be handed over to the soldiers for actual drills on the battlefield. Determine whether this equipment is suitable for actual combat.

It can be said that the weapons currently produced by Kawei Ling range from small daggers and arrows to large swords and full-body armor, each of which is the result of countless warriors and craftsmen.

The same is true for Manson now.Although the quality of the iron smelted from coke is excellent, but that is purely from the quality of the iron, no one can say whether it is suitable for making weapons and equipment.If you rashly equip the entire defense team without actual combat testing, once something goes wrong in the future, it will be too late to regret it.

However, due to the influx of adventurers recently, the monsters in the surrounding mountains have suffered. Lovell's garrison no longer needs to worry about the flood of monsters.Although this is a good thing, it is a bit troublesome to verify the characteristics of the equipment.

"Do you need to find some people to put on armor and go into the mountains?" Reed suggested.

Sol shook his head again and again: "Until I figure out the reliability of this batch of equipment, I will not risk my life." Just kidding, every guard member of Lao Tzu is a treasure, what if a few of them are killed so inexplicably?You come to pay me?
Manson hesitated: "But if it is delayed, as the production of iron gradually increases, but it cannot be used to make weapons and equipment, then it is meaningless to work so hard to make coke."

Sol is very distressed, I know it too, but how can there be a safe and quick way to check... Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Manson, you can send those three sets of equipment to the equipment store in the town tomorrow," he said.

"Equipment store?" Manson was taken aback for a moment, and then flew into a rage: "You want to sell them?" It looked like Sol was going to sell his son.

Couldn't help sighing again about the dwarf's persistence, Thor explained: "Don't get excited. Listen to me, if you don't want our people to take risks and verify the reliability of these equipment, this is the only way."

Reid's mind was more flexible, and he immediately realized: "You mean to let those adventurers..."

Sol nodded: "Yes, recently many adventurers and monster hunters have gone into the mountains to capture monsters. The hospitals in the town suffer countless injuries every day, and the loss of equipment is very large. If you sell these three sets of equipment to them, those The guy just needs to go into the mountains and we'll know how reliable these things are."

Reed couldn't help being stunned: "What if they find out that we sell unfinished products to them?"

Saul smiled and waved his hands: "Well, if the equipment is too bad, they will die in the mountains, and naturally nothing will happen; if the equipment is good, it is too late for those guys to thank us, so how can they complain?"

At this time, his face was full of the appearance of an immeasurable businessman who sold fake and shoddy goods to consumers and made black-hearted money.

Looking at the lord with a "bad look" on his face, Reed sighed after a long while: "I'm convinced, you, you are really despicable and shameless..."

But then again, this is indeed a good method that is both safe (for your own people) and fast (it’s just a matter of whether you die or not). of it?Just think of it as giving those poor monsters a chance to take revenge.

Maybe he also felt that he was a little too "yin" just now. Sol coughed twice and returned to his serious face: "However, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, in the sales of these equipment, we can do this... and do this..."

After hearing Sol's idea, this time not only Reed, but even Manson also looked convinced.I have to say that our lord lord is really beyond the reach of ordinary people to engage in these outlandish tricks.

The three discussed for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Saul once again told Manson to produce a large amount of coke as soon as possible, and then left.

Walking to the door, he suddenly remembered something, and turned around again: "By the way, isn't the Adventurer's Guild building roads at the entrance of the town recently? Last time I asked you to make a pickaxe shovel and a wheelbarrow, make a batch for them as soon as possible Send it."

These two inventions were made by Manson in order to improve the engineering progress of the territory.However, due to financial reasons, the project was interrupted, and there has been no chance to play a role. This time it happened to be used by the Adventurer's Guild.

Manson nodded: "Understood, I will arrange people to do it as soon as possible."

"By the way." Sol knocked his head, and warned again: "Remember to raise the price a bit, they are very rich. In addition, let's make it with iron smelted from coke, just ask them to help verify that these irons make tools What is the effect."

Plop!It was Manson and Reed who fell to the ground together...

After leaving Manson's workshop, looking at the sunset in the sky, Sol had already flown back to his lord's mansion with a heart.Thinking that Marlene had already prepared a table of hot meals waiting for him to go home, his heart couldn't help but warm up.

"Okay, Reed, you should go back to rest too, I have to trouble you to go to the frozen plateau again in a few days." He said to Reed.

"Uh...but tonight..." Reid seemed to want to say something.

How could Saul be in the mood to listen to him: "Go back quickly, your parents must be waiting impatiently."

"But Miss Jessica just sent someone to say..." Reed was a little anxious.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm going back to have dinner." Sol didn't bother to listen to him, so he waved him away.

Looking at Saul's excited back, Reed could only sigh: "In this case, let's talk about it later at dinner."

Thinking of having dinner with the beautiful woman in a short while, Sol jumped up and down all the way, and responded with a smile to the salutes of the passing townspeople.A few days ago in Bahrain, he spent all his time thinking about plotting against Cliff, but was afraid of being plotted against him. He couldn't eat well or sleep soundly. He didn't know how much he missed Marlene's food.

Thinking of Marlene's happy appearance when she saw him later, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.He even began to seriously consider: "Should I hold Marlene in my arms and kiss me? But Jessica is there, so she probably won't let me do it. How about the two of you kissing together? Don't favor one over another? But the difficulty is very high..."

Thinking of Mira again, he felt a little depressed again. With that girl around, no matter how warm the atmosphere was, she would spoil the scenery. Should he think of a way to get rid of her?But once the girl saw the food, she couldn't hold it back at all, besides, Marlene should also protect her.

Just when he was thinking wildly and worrying about gains and losses, he suddenly saw Meissie and her daughter carrying two big baskets, talking and laughing as they walked towards the Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, you are back." Seeing him, Julie happily greeted him.

"Julie, where are you sending the food so late?" Saul asked strangely, noticing that her basket was full of food.

"What did you say, you sent it to the Lord's Mansion." Julie was surprised.

"Lord's Mansion?" Sol was taken aback, but then he thought that Jessica must have ordered this to fill Mira's bottomless pit.

Hmph, as expected of my good steward, you are really careful, so Marlene's food is really only prepared for me.Thinking of this, he couldn't help being in a good mood, and even grabbed a piece of bread from the basket.

Julie didn't stop, and looked at him with a smile: "My lord, how does it taste?"

"Hmm, very good, delicious." Saul nodded while chewing.

"That's good, everyone will like it." Julie smiled happily.

"Haha, of course, everyone will like such a delicious food... Hey, wait!" Sol suddenly stopped chewing: "You, you mean everyone?"

Julie nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, Miss Jessica informed everyone in the afternoon that there will be a welcome banquet, and many people have been invited. These foods are just the first batch, and my mother and I will make them later Woolen cloth."

Clap... Half of the bread in Saul's hand fell to the ground.

Woooooo, goodbye, my welcome hug; goodbye, candlelight dinner with two beauties; goodbye, what may happen after the candlelight dinner...

Julie returned to her mother with the basket in hand, and waved to him: "Then we'll be leaving first, come quickly."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Saul smiled uglier than crying.

"Hey, my lord, why are you still here?" At this moment, Kress' voice suddenly came from behind.

Looking back, it was Kress and a group of defenders who went to Bahrain to lead this time, walking over talking and laughing.Saul got angry when he saw these guys, well, my candlelight dinner was disturbed by you.

However, before Saul asked him what was going on, Kress' eyes immediately lit up when he saw Julie in front of him.He put the "iron lump" on his waist, and went to court his new girlfriend.

"Haha, my lord, why are you still standing here? If you don't hurry up, the food will be eaten up by the captain and Mira." A group of guards rushed past him laughing and laughing.

Looking at the people who were gradually going away, Sol could only sigh helplessly, calmed down and walked to his lord's mansion.Well, forget it, no matter what, I still have to eat dinner.

Along the way, more and more townspeople went to the banquet, often with their families, all of whom expressed their gratitude to the lord for his generosity and wondered that he was still procrastinating on the road.

What else could Sol do, he could only smile one by one.At this moment, he couldn't help but blame Jessica a little bit. Who said women are romantic?I don't care about the little gold coins for hosting the banquet, but can you do it tomorrow night, I just want to have a good time with you and Marlene tonight.

Walking to the foot of the small hill of the Lord's Mansion, you can see the bright lights above it from a distance, and the noise from the wind echoes in your ears, which makes you feel warm.

At this time, Sol didn't care about anything anymore, he patted his cheeks with both hands, and strode up the hillside.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard of the lord's mansion, Sol was surrounded by a burst of joyful laughter.Everyone turned around at the same moment and toasted him: "My lord, welcome home."

This is a speechless scene. The candlelight casts long shadows on the ground, and the air is filled with the aroma of food and fine wine. Both adults and children use the most sincere words at this moment You are welcome, who can not feel the deep warmth in it?

At least at this moment, the last trace of resentment left in Thor's heart has disappeared.

"Master!" The crowd parted, and Marlene cheered and threw herself into his arms.

He hugged Marlene in his arms as he wished, but at this moment Sol didn't have any thoughts in his heart.He gently stroked Marlene's soft hair, but turned his gaze to the crowd.

There, he saw Vince looking at him in relief, the former old steward seemed to be saying that the young master had finally grown up; he saw Kress whispering to Julie, the brave and invincible guard captain , there was no more murderous look on his face at this moment; he saw standing beside his brother, with a resentful expression on his face, as if he was blaming Kafir for abandoning her again, and many, many people...

Finally, his gaze met Jessica who was standing in the crowd.

The two looked at each other and smiled, without another word.

"Can you eat slowly?" Jessica frowned.

"Huluhulu...what are you talking about, I paid for it myself, Huluhulu, I can't eat it..." Saul stared back at him while wolfing down his food.

Jessica sighed: "I advise you to eat less, or you will regret it later."

"Huh, why regret it later, I will only regret it if I eat less." Sol pointed angrily, and at the long table full of food, Kress and Mira were having an earth-shattering contest.

Jessica smiled and stopped talking.Sol couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, why are you in such a hurry to organize this banquet?"

Jessica looked at him: "We managed to bring it back from Bahrain safely, isn't it worth celebrating?"

Saul was at a loss for words: "Yes, but the townspeople don't know what we are going to do."

Jessica sat next to him, propped up the chair with both hands, and looked up at the night sky behind her body: "Actually, half of this banquet is for everyone. After the Autumn Harvest Festival, there was a peace talk with the Adventurer's Guild, and then many things happened. , also brought great changes to Lovell."

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look into Sol's eyes: "Fortunately, everyone has worked hard to adapt, and our town has regained its vitality. But although the living standard has improved, everyone has been tense , It is rare to have a time to relax, so I will take this opportunity to let everyone have a rest. The development of the territory, apart from us, is actually more due to them."

Looking at the flickering flames reflected in Jessica's eyes, Sol nodded: "You are right, I have indeed ignored everyone's efforts all this time. But if I can do it tomorrow night, I thought..."

"Hee hee, I'll say it again, eat less, or you'll regret it." Before he could finish speaking, Jessica dropped the inexplicable words and left.

Staring in amazement at her lightly leaping figure with her hands behind her back, Sol returned his attention to the plate in his hand.Hmph, who is afraid of whom?If you don't tell me, I'll just eat it.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very pleasant, at least when it came to eating the free food from the lord, everyone would not be soft-spoken, and in the end everyone left satisfied.

The small courtyard of the lord's mansion regained its calm. Looking at the cups and plates on the table that hadn't been cleaned up in time, Sol took a bite of the bread bitterly. It's really disgusting. Anyway, he should help clean up before leaving.

"Master." At this moment, Marlene's timid voice came from behind.

Sol turned around: "Oh, it's Marlene. I'm going to trouble you again, let me help you."

Marlene shook her head: "It's okay, I'll clean up later. Young master, can you come with me?"

Sol was startled: "Where are you going?"

A trace of shyness appeared on Marlene's face: "Come with me and you'll find out." Then she turned around and walked into the house.

What kind of medicine is sold in this girl's gourd?She wasn't so godly before.Sol was a little confused for a moment, and had no choice but to follow.

It wasn't until he entered the door that he realized that all the candles in the room had been extinguished at some point, and only the moonlight from the window could see through the whole big house.Dimly, the petite figure of Marlene in front was like an elf in the night.

Feeling more and more confused, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are Jessica and Mira, why didn't you see them?"

Marlene turned her head and smiled sweetly: "Mila has already fallen asleep after eating, sister Jessica, master, don't ask so many questions."

I don't know if it's because this girl has matured recently, but in this hazy light, her smile actually made Sol's heart skip a beat.He couldn't help licking his lips, she...what on earth did she want?
Suddenly, Sol noticed that Marlene seemed to invite herself in when no one was around, and with the extinguished candles in the room, and her mysterious attitude, it's hard, is this girl trying to seduce me...

Thinking of this, Sol's heart jumped involuntarily.Hehe, as the saying goes, the Eighteenth Change of Women's University, my little Marlene, it turns out that your thinking is already so mature.

"Hee hee hee hee..." Thinking of the upcoming good things, even though he tried his best to cover his mouth, Sol couldn't help but smirk.

"Master, what's the matter?" Hearing his strange laughter, Marlene couldn't help turning her head.

"Oh, it's okay, you continue to lead the way." Sol quickly recovered his face: "But Marlene, where are you taking me?"

"Damn it, don't ask so many questions, it's a good place anyway." Marlene blushed again.

"Hee hee hee..." Saul couldn't help but burst into a strange laugh.

"Young master, are you really alright?"

"Of course it's fine. I don't know how happy I am. Marlene, don't worry, I will be very gentle after a while." Sol patted his chest.

Walking to the end of the corridor, Marlene opened the front door a crack, turned her head and said to Sol: "Master, come quickly, I'll wait for you inside." She smiled coquettishly before stepping in.

"Hoo hoo hoo..." Thor's breathing immediately became rapid.That's right, if you survive a catastrophe, you must have a future blessing. This is definitely a future blessing, and it is a great future blessing!

God Denisos, you are so kind to me!Thor couldn't help but look up to the sky and pray.Don't worry, little Marlene, the young master will definitely bow down tonight and will not let down your good intentions.

Throwing off his coat, Sol unbuttoned his shirt with his left hand and pulled the belt with his right hand, and he couldn't wait to crash into it.

"I'm coming... Wow!?" Immediately, he froze at the door.

There is no eclectic scene as imagined.The room was decorated very warmly. A dining table was covered with a clean white tablecloth, with three knives and forks on it. A candlestick burning on the table shrouded the room in a dreamlike light and shadow.

At the table, Marlene and Jessica looked at Solzi, who was excited, with dull faces.

A drop of cold sweat slowly slid from Sol's forehead down his cheek.

Fortunately, after countless trials of blood and fire, Sol is no longer like the blunt boy who just arrived in the noble land.Before Jessica could react, he took a step back and closed the door with a bang.

In the room, Jessica and Marlene were still in astonishment.

A few seconds later, the door opened again, and the well-dressed Sol walked in with a smile on his face, and sat down on the chair opposite the two women: "Okay, let's get started."

"Just now you..." Jessica's voice was a little dry.

"It's rare for Marlene to have such a heart. I'm really touched." Sol was as full of spring as ever, at least he couldn't see the slightest bit of embarrassment just now on his face.

"But you..." Jessica wanted to say more.

"Marlene, is this your idea?" Saul turned to Marlene with a smile.

"Ah, no...it's sister Jessica. She said that after everyone leaves, the three of us will have dinner alone." Seeing Marlene's blinking eyes, it was obvious that she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

"Hee hee hee... Jessica, I guessed it was you." Sol covered his mouth with the front of the palm of his hand very "ladylike", and pointed at Jessica "blamely".

"But you just..."

"Marlene, the young master is so happy, let's have dinner." Sol turned his head calmly, ignoring her.

"Ah, good." Marlene agreed blankly, and got up to take the food.

"By the way, tell me clearly, what exactly did you want to do with your appearance just now!" Sol's "Attention Shifting Dafa" became more and more proficient, and it wasn't until then that Jessica really came back to her senses.

"Jessica." Instead of the panic and uneasiness that had been exposed in the past, Sol looked directly into her eyes.

"What, what?"

"Thank you, really." Saul was very sincere when he said this.

"My biggest wish tonight is to have a good meal with you and Marlene."

"No, it's nothing, Marlene is also very happy." Jessica subconsciously avoided his gaze.

However, no one noticed that under the table, Sol wiped the sweat from his palms on his trousers again and again.

"Okay, master, let's eat quickly, I made this specially for you." Marlene happily put the food on the table.

"Well." Sol raised his glass: "For our safe return, for Lovell."

"Cheers." The three wine glasses collided above the table, making a light ding.

Ticadas chirp quietly in the treetops, adding a touch of laziness to the cool night.The hazy moonlight penetrates through the window, illuminating this tender scene like a gouache painting.
