better. This wasn't a good sign at all. She directly told Wu Lianyi about her feelings.Wu Lianyi then understood that it was because of the impending rainstorm, plants would also mutate.Although it is...Harsen White, upon hearing Lillian's account, instantly grew cold. His usual affable face hardened.

"I never expected the Simon family to come up with such a scheme. Who are they trying to disgust Corlia isn't unmarriageable; there are plenty of suitors vying for her hand, given her contracted phantom beast."

Hasen didn't deny that when he arranged for his sister to marry Rodney Nash, the reason wasn't just because the Nash family was noble and had a special beast companion. It was also because Lilyan and Rodney fell in love at first sight.

The White family is powerful, able to protect their sister as she marries, and the Nasi family has greatly helped them develop their family business.

Especially when passing through areas where bandits and monsters were rampant, the assistance of the Nasi family members allowed them to avoid many risks and extend their reach to other continents.

"Uncle, this is my fault for not being careful enough. I revealed the matter of coming to Palo Alto, giving Simon an opportunity."

Goliya said with some remorse.

She now thinks back with fear, if Simon had really succeeded, none of them would have survived.

It's good that you can recognize your own shortcomings, but Simon is cunning and you are vulnerable to his schemes. What's more, he's your fiancé.

Since things have happened, do as you agreed before. Pretend nothing happened. You should continue as usual and see how Simon's parents react.

"Uncle, I think this was Simon's own idea. If his family had gotten involved, they wouldn't have let me escape at all."

This is also what Golia figured out these two days.

Hasan nodded in agreement with Coralia's analysis. After all, if it was a family involved, they would definitely plan more meticulously and wouldn't hire a group of incompetent mercenaries who couldn't even defeat underage knights and mages.

Hassan didn't know that the ripples hadn't chosen a head-on confrontation, but instead used a sleep-inducing potion to gain an advantage. Otherwise, there would have been a real tough battle.

Lilyan and Gloria nodded in agreement after hearing Hasan's words.

"Brother, I'm telling you this because I want you to be aware of it and be prepared when facing the Simon family in the future. Just don't tell anyone else in the family."

Lilyan added another point.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing! Just relax and play here for a while. After this year's knightly trials are over, I'll hire some Golden Knights to escort you back. It would be best if we could get one for Coralia too. Just tell them that I, your uncle, specially requested it for her."

Hasan's mind raced. To prevent encountering the same problem again, they still needed a strong military deterrent.

Thank you, Uncle.

"Don't mention it, you introduced me to the young master of the Rhodemans, which was a great help. I think Young Master Lian is very insightful, and we might have opportunities to cooperate."

Hasan rubbed his hands together and said, as a shrewd businessman, he sensed a whiff of opportunity.

Liliana and Corlia exchanged a glance, saying nothing more. Not even to their own brother did they reveal that it was Lian and Leia who helped them kill Simon. They simply said that Corlia had used Ainn to find them, and then they fought back against the mob Simon had brought.

And the ripples of memories, now walking and talking with Raul, were hitting him with a plan to steal his detoxifying agent.

"Raul, wouldn't you like to have a long-term stable income"

Raul was watching the passing knights with great interest, mostly focused on their medals. Upon hearing Ripple's words, he immediately turned his head and said with a smile:

"Young Master Lian, do you intend to be my long-term guest"

Yes or no!

The ripples sold a tease.

"Master Lian, just tell me! I can't guess what you're thinking."

I'm interested in your poison antidote formula. Would you be interested in collaborating

How do we cooperate

“You come up with the formula, that's your technical contribution. The Rhoden family will be responsible for producing the medicine. We can use the White family’s business network to sell it, splitting the profits 20/80 between us. This would be a personal collaboration between you and me, not with the Moose family. How does that sound”

The ripples are calculated, and as long as the materials needed for this potion recipe are not particularly rare and precious, after the potion is promoted, it should be able to make a profit. After all, the effect is there.

"I didn't realize, Young Master Lian also has a business acumen."

Raul was somewhat tempted. As long as he came up with a recipe, the rest wouldn't require his attention, and all the income would ultimately end up in his own pocket. This way, whenever he encountered herbs he liked, he wouldn't have to think about it for so long.

I wouldn't say I have a business talent, but I just think your potions are really good and deserve to be promoted. It's also a way of preparing for the future.

That spatial rift we destroyed together that day, you saw it too. There were people inside that strange thing, they found a way to get into our continent. Do you think they'll give up on trying

Liàn Yī smiled and asked back.

Raul listened to this, his face immediately becoming serious. He stroked his reddish-brown hair that fell to his chest, and said thoughtfully:

"Do you think my potions are very helpful for minors, and do you want to sell them to improve the physical strength of minors"

"Pretty much, your potions are helpful to those close to breaking through, especially knights."

R ripples smiled and answered.

"If that's what you're saying, then I understand! I have a lot of confidence in the medicines I've developed myself."

"Then consider this, I would be a great partner to work with."

"I understand. I will get back to you as soon as possible."

Raul still wants to discuss it with the family.

Raul didn't know it yet, but it was because of Lian Rodman's proposal today that he later grew into a super alchemist in the Magic Continent. In future battles against invaders, everyone who had taken his potions became the main force on the battlefield.

After Ripple and Raoul finished their conversation, they went to an armory that sold weapons suitable for knights and offered customization services.

Now that her ripples have grown, the sword she wields is outdated from when she became a Bronze Knight. It can no longer keep up with her power. When she destroyed the spatial rift, thankfully her Thunder Gleam appeared to assist her, otherwise, all her efforts would have been for nothing.

So she was preparing to find a new sword for herself, preferably one suitable for a Golden Knight.

"Sir, what kind of sword would you like to choose"

"The sword used by the Golden Knight."

As ripples surveyed the swords on display inside the shop, he addressed the shopkeeper.

Leia and Grey, who had followed them inside, also heard the ripples' words. They exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

"Lily, you broke through to Golden Knight"

Leia couldn't hold back any longer and directly asked.

"No way!"

"Then you"

Why is this sword only usable by the Golden Knights

Leia's unsaid words were too obvious. Grey coughed lightly, reminding his young mistress.

Perhaps my strength hasn't reached it, but my skills have! late. If it weren't for you and your followers, I'm afraid we would have truly come to see Meng off for the last time.""Who has a grudge against that sharp-toothed crocodile"Both the female and her y...
