Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
rlin withdrew his consciousness from the Illusory World. He picked up the clothes he had prepared beforehand and put them on before turning to check on the Nourishnt Pond.
At this ti, the Nourishnt Pond had beco a deep moss green and did not emit any unpleasant odor. The two hundred or so materials that rlin had added earlier must have been absorbed by him.
He faintly felt that if he wanted to raise the grade of shifting, he would need more materials to prepare the Nourishnt Pond, and that amount would be quite terrifying.
“I need more money. A thousand gold coins or even two or three thousand gold coins are far from enough.”
rlin knew that the Nourishnt Ponds for Hosts were expensive but he did not expect that it would be so expensive. Although Count Stanwin doted on him very much and gave him everything he asked for, it was the first ti he needed so much money after coming to an unfamiliar place.
Furthermore, the three hundred heavy knights who had followed Count Stanwin were a big expense. It was already good that rlin was given one thousand gold coins. It would be unrealistic to ask Count Stanwin for more.
However, for a while after rlin had arrived in the Holy Dragon Empire, he could not think of any other ways.
Nothing would co out of staying in the laboratory, so rlin simply left and locked it up. This laboratory was his secret that only Count Stanwin could know about.
After returning to the hall, he saw Count Stanwin who seed to be looking for rlin.
“Leon, you’ve co at the right ti. Co visit Count Altadin with .”
Count Stanwin said to rlin with a smile.
“Count Altadin?”
rlin looked puzzled.
“We’ll talk in the carriage.”
Thus, rlin could only follow Count Stanwin into the carriage.
In the carriage, Count Stanwin explained before rlin could ask, “Count Altadin is my good friend. I saved his life in the past before, so I asked him for help after coming to the Holy Dragon City this ti. This manor was found with the help of Count Altadin. I’m bringing you along to visit Count Altadin and introduce him to you.”
rlin nodded. It was not surprising that Count Stanwin was able to find such a large manor so quickly. Although it was deserted, it was not sothing that anyone could simply buy.
Count Altadin must have contributed greatly.
After understanding the reason, rlin did not ask anything else and instead, silently stayed in the carriage, listening to the sound of the carriage wheels as if dazed.
After a while, the carriage ca to a gradual stop. Count Stanwin lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back at rlin before saying, “Leon, we’ve reached Count Altadin’s manor. Let’s go.”
rlin followed Count Stanwin out of the carriage and looked in front. A huge manor that looked relatively old appeared in front of him. There were also so guards patrolling outside.
These guards beca even more courteous upon seeing rlin and the others.
“I’m Count Stanwin. I’ve co to visit Count Altadin.”
Count Stanwin directly revealed his identity, and all the guards saluted at once.
“Honorable Count Stanwin, please wait a mont while we report your arrival.”
The guards imdiately went to report the matter, and soon, a middle-aged attractive and plump woman of about forty years old appeared.
“Count Stanwin, I’m Nathalian, Count Altadin’s housekeeper. Count Altadin is delighted to know of your arrival. Please, follow .”
Although the lady housekeeper, Nathalian, was in her forties, she still looked like she was in her thirties. She possessed a full figure, and was especially plump on her bosom, inciting the imagination of others.
Under the guidance of this charming housekeeper, rlin and Count Stanwin entered the manor.
The environnt of the manor was very beautiful with bursts of flowers. rlin had not expected flowers to bloom in such cold weather. It must have taken a lot of effort to make them bloom.
Arriving in the drawing room, there was already a middle-aged man dressed in an aristocratic attire who was around the sa age as Count Stanwin, waiting. Seeing Count Stanwin, he imdiately stood up with a smile and said hoarsely, “Count Stanwin, welco to my manor.”
“Count Altadin, I’ve co to thank you for your help last ti. This is my son, Leon.”
rlin stepped forward and saluted slightly, “Count Altadin.”
Count Altadin’s eyes brightened as he carefully looked at rlin while rlin was sowhat confused. Count Altadin was acting inconsistently with aristocratic manners.
He also looked at Count Altadin from the corner of his eye. The other party was slightly plump, with a mustache on his upper lip. His clothes were very neat and even his nails were neatly trimd. He seed to be an aristocrat who paid great attention to his own image.
“Leon, this is the first ti I’ve t you. You’re very much like the Count Stanwin of the past.”
Count Altadin’s gaze seed to have a deeper aning.
“Baratha, this is Count Stanwin.”
rlin then saw a petite lady on one side of the hall. She wore a long white dress and had a round face, as beautiful as jade. She looked incredibly lovely.
“Count Stanwin.”
Baratha bowed slightly and then looked at rlin, which was rather bold.
“Good, Baratha has grown up well. I rember when I saw her more than ten years ago, she was just a little girl.”
Count Stanwin said emotionally but there was a smile on his face. Count Altadin also nodded secretly.
Seeing this, rlin finally felt that sothing was wrong.
“Father, did you bring here to et Baratha?”
How could rlin still be ignorant of the Count Stanwin and Count Altadin’s aning? The purpose of their visit was supposedly to visit Count Altadin but it was to let Baratha and rlin et each other.
rlin was sowhat helpless. No matter if he was in the Void Zone or the Almighty Beast World, so problems could not be gotten rid of.
Then, Count Stanwin chatted with Count Altadin, and talked about the recent situation of the Holy Dragon Empire.
“The situation in the Holy Dragon Empire isn’t good. Many nobles have given up their territories and ca to the Holy Dragon City. They regard this as the final place to take refuge.”
Count Altadin felt very helpless as he ntioned this.
Count Stanwin and rlin were the sa. They gave up their territories and escaped to the Holy Dragon City. After all, the Holy Dragon City had the suppression of the legendary sacred beast Regulus’ skull. Even if the Holy Dragon Empire began to fall into chaos, the Holy Dragon City would be very safe.
Therefore, many nobles regarded the Holy Dragon City as their first choice of refuge.
“Hasn’t the royal family done anything at present?”
Count Stanwin asked in a heavy voice.
“What can the royal family do? The royal family has far less control than it had hundreds of years ago. So nobles don’t even obey the royal family’s orders anymore. The royal family’s influence is still very strong in the Holy Dragon City. However, outside the city, their influence is even less than that of the nobles in so territories.”
Count Altadin seed to be very concerned and helpless about the situation in the Holy Dragon Empire. The weakening of the royal family was the root cause of the chaos in the Holy Dragon Empire.
However, the decline of the royal family was due to the thin bloodline of the royal family and the absence of descendants with a strong Regulus bloodline. As a result, the entire Holy Dragon Empire had started to collapse.
Just as Count Altadin was feeling helpless, Count Stanwin suddenly stood up. His entire body imdiately began to morph as he snorted coldly, “Who’s there?”
“Bang.”
Count Altadin’s dressing room door crashed into pieces following a loud noise. The entire manor seed to be shaking.
