Thales' Reflection

Rett and Colton enjoyed a dinner together in Twilight.

   We didn't say goodbye to each other until night fell.

  Bring more than fifty civilians from Qingquan Town back to the team from the hostel. Leiter thought it was time to start, so he got into the carriage.

  At this time, the groom in front turned his head and looked at Leiter coyly.

   "Huh? What's the matter?" Seeing the other party's expression, Leiter asked in surprise.

"Uh...it's like this, my lord, just now I had a discussion with several other grooms. Except for Derby, the remaining four of our grooms all want to join your territory!" The groom said sincerely, patted his chest, "We all have rich experience in raising horses, so we must work in peace and contribute to your lord's territorial struggle!"

  The way they came, they all thought about it. Anyway, the lord of Qingquan Town suffered the consequences of himself and died.

  Qingquan Town also has a dark history of the base of the evil alchemy organization. No one can tell what the future will be like.

  The lord in front of me has the strength of a third-level magician, and he is definitely an excellent target!

  When they were still in Qingquan Town, several people had this idea, but the lord did not invite them at that time.

   Except that Derby has a family in Qingquan Town, he is unwilling to leave. The four of them are still young, single, and have no burden to go anywhere.

   "What's your name?" Rhett asked.

   "My lord, my name is Gene." Gene said with a respectful expression, "The other three are Essam, Harry, and Fick."

  Rett fell into deep thought, thinking that in the current territory, there is only one groom, George.

  With the rapid development of the territory in the future, all aspects will usher in expansion, and the horse farm is no exception. So it will be a matter of time before a few grooms are added.

   then nodded and agreed: "Gene, right? I agree to your request. But in my territory, you must obey the rules!"

  Jin looked happy, "Don't worry, my lord! From now on, our grooms will be tied to your horse farm, and we will definitely contribute to the construction of Young Eagle Town!"

  He ran to share the good news with other partners, and there were several cheers outside the carriage.

   Then the whole team left Twilight City overnight.

  The night of May 24th.

   The two knights on duty at the gate of Young Eagle Town, today it is Tru and Willow's turn.

  The hazy night is quiet.

  Summer cicadas chirping, branches and leaves rustling, one after another.

  The two concentrated their attention on the surrounding situation, and saw a trail in the distance, under the dim light, a team gradually appeared, walking towards here.

   Tru rubbed his eyes, and whispered: "Willow, look ahead, there is a convoy coming!"

"Huh? Such a strange team, these horses...the carriages, I have never seen them before." Willow cheered up, stared ahead, and said tightly: "There are pattern signs of other territories on it, but I don't know where it is of."

"There are some common sense books on the bookshelf of the deputy castle, which contain the distribution of power in the southwest border, so you can read more books, if you don't listen." Tru shook his head and said: "This is the pattern logo of Qingquan Town, but ...Why are you here at this time?"

   "The Viscount's territory, Qingquan Town?" Willow was a little dignified, and hurriedly said: "True, just in case, you go back to pass the news, I will guard here!"

   "No, Willow, you are younger than me, and your legs and feet are more flexible. You should go back and deliver the news." Tru, who has entered middle age, shook his head.

"You! Don't argue with me at this time. At worst, go back and buy you a drink, huh? It's the lord!" Willow looked a little anxious, and glanced at the carriage in front of him from the corner of his eye, and suddenly opened the curtain, revealing a very familiar picture. faces.

  All anxiety was swept away.

   "Great, it turns out to be the lord!" Trud's face was filled with joy, but he whispered, "Why is the lord in the car in Qingquan Town?"

   Immediately, he jokingly said, "Eh? Willow, you just said to buy me a drink when you go back, so you can't go back on it!"

   "Got it." The voice dragged on for a long time. Willow, who was not yet twenty years old, rolled his eyes and sighed, "Oh, I'm still too young!"

  When the convoy approached, Tru and Willow puffed up their chests and yelled loudly: "My lord, good evening!"

  Rett poked his head out, smiled and said, "Hehe, it's Tru and Willow, hello. You two knights, thank you for your hard work!"

   "No hard work, my lord. Everything is for Young Eagle Town!" The eyes of the two were bright.

   Under the admiring eyes of the two knights, the convoy passed through Young Eagle Town and arrived at the gate of the manor.

  The warm wind at night blew open the curtain of the carriage, and Leiter got out of it.

   Bathed in a little bit of starlight, I can't help but sigh, before I know it, summer is almost over.

  Rett glanced, and there were lights on the first to fourth floors of the castle.

  Arranged the four grooms to the dormitory of the horse farm, and asked the civilians in Qingquan Town to spend a night there, and let the housekeeper allocate the residence in the town tomorrow.

   Then he took Shireen into the manor.

  The housekeeper, Sveta, did not fall asleep for a long time today, thinking that the master had been away for two months.

   Without the master in charge, he always feels like he has lost his backbone.

  A feeling of drowsiness came over me. Sveta, who had been troubled by insomnia for many days, was about to turn off the candle lamp and lie down on the bed.

   But there was an extremely slight "咴咴" cry, which startled it!

  Sveta came to the window in a jerk, and saw a team walking along the Greystone Avenue.

  Although it was not the convoy from Young Eagle Town, based on his intuition, he still believed that the master must be back!

   Sveta was a little excited, put on the clothes he had just taken off, and looked in the mirror again before he hurried out of the castle, just in time to see the master coming.

   "Oh, master, you are finally back. I have seen you in my dreams recently! You are not in the territory, which is equivalent to a young eagle breaking its wings." Sveta stopped in front of Leiter, showing a respectful face. From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the young woman beside the master, who had short orange hair sticking to her cheeks, secretly guessing her identity.

   "Sveta, my most caring butler, no matter where we are, our hearts are in Young Eagle Town!" Leiter smiled and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

   "I've been suffering from insomnia recently, and I always fall asleep very late." Sveta couldn't help but yawned, and then continued: "But the night you came back, master, the insomnia suddenly disappeared!"

   "Please believe me, I am absolutely not lying!" Sveta looked serious!

   "I believe in you, Sveta. At the same time, I hope you can take good care of your body. When the young eagle soars in the future, I hope that everyone around me will accompany me."

   "Thank you, master, I also want to accompany you to see this day!"

"Definitely!" Leiter said firmly, pointing to Shirene again: "This is our new member——Shirene, a second-level female knight, please arrange a place to stay. Remember to share with those elders Separate."

   "No problem, every return of the master can bring surprises." Sveta supported his chest and said to Shirene: "Ms. Shirene, please come here."

   "Thank you, Mr. Housekeeper." Shirene followed, then turned around suddenly, flicked her short orange hair, waved her hand and said, "Lord Lord, see you tomorrow!"

   "See you tomorrow, Ms. Shirin!" Leiter smiled, and then walked towards Deep Rock Castle.

  Riley's room.

  When Leiter pushed the door and entered, Rilai was standing by the window and said with a smile, "Father, you are finally back."

   "Yes, I'm back." Leiter sat down on a chair with a kind expression on his face, and asked, "Rui Lai, how is your recent training progress?"

  As a father, it is normal to be concerned about his son's cultivation situation.

"Well, it's not bad. Thanks to the appearance of Nina last year, not only did I reach the later stage when I recognized the Lord, but I also made additional progress. Coupled with the practice of the past half a year, it is estimated that I will reach the peak next year." Ruilai Thinking about it said.

   "Not bad..." Leiter nodded with a smile, and opened a gift bag, "See what I brought you?"

  Leite said to himself: "This time I went to Twilight City, I bought some moonlight potions, and a dozen bottles are enough for me. The remaining forty bottles are for you, and I look forward to your early breakthrough."

  He himself has reached the pinnacle of a third-level magician, so he doesn't need to use Moonlight Potion anymore. Moreover, if he is promoted to a magister in the future, the Moonlight Potion will also lose its effect on him. Need to find another medium mental power potion.

   But in order not to appear abnormal, Leiter must do superficial work. At worst, after a period of time, when the batch of potions on hand of Rilai and Thales is used up, find an excuse to distribute the stock to them.

   "Wow! Thank you, Father!" Ruilai's eyes lit up, looking at the bottles and cans in the gift bag, feeling excited!

   But then he asked in surprise: "By the way, Father, did you just say that the medicine should be distributed to 'us'? Is there another person besides me? Is it the orange-haired lady who just came in with you?

   "Is she also a magician? But she obviously has a long sword hanging around her waist..." Rylai muttered.

   "She's not a magician!" Leiter shook his head, "She's a second-level knight who also joined our territory, called Shirin."

   "But..." As soon as Rilai opened his mouth, Leiter stretched out a hand and interrupted: "Don't worry, what is this?"

  Leite took out a medicine filled with black liquid from his waist pocket and placed it under the bright light.

  In fact, he did not expect that just yesterday, Black Star found him retrograde from the direction of Young Eagle Town, and the two exchanged blood potions.

   Six days earlier than the last simulation.

  Leite can only think that it may be related to some details in reality, as well as the allocation of blood origin beads, which are all given to Black Star this time.

  Perhaps a difference in a certain link has led to a slight discrepancy in the transaction time.

   "Father, what is this?" Riley frowned slightly.

  The medicine bottle has a transparent appearance and no label. Through the bottle, nothing can be seen from the color of the potion.

   "This is the blood potion of the sixth-order dark-type monster-the black-eyed phantom snake!" Leiter said lightly.

   "What? Blood Potion!" Rilei's eyes widened in shock, her breathing stagnated.

   After calming down, he let out a long breath, his eyes flickered, and he tentatively asked: "Is it from the same source as the blood potion you took before, Father?"

   Except for himself, only his three sons knew that Leiter had taken the blood potion.

   After all, they have gone out to fight together many times, especially in the Dark Eagle branch, dealing with third-order monsters, Leiter couldn't hide the secret of the cone technique at all.

   Besides, he trusted his son, and there were no accidents in the simulation, and he was never worried about leaking secrets.

   "Yeah." Lei Te nodded, the same as last time, didn't say much.

   "That's great!" Riley wisely didn't ask, but excitedly patted the table next to him, saying: "Thales can also become a magician in the future!"

   "Then, my lord father, why don't we go to Thales now?" Riley asked, and then said distressedly: "He must be reading knight novels now, you have to take good care of him."

"What happened?"

"Father, I don't know. During your absence, Mina from Dam Town came twice. She has a good relationship with Thales and even gave Thales a fantasy novel, which seems to be from "Knight Academy". The sequel. He's hooked now!

   Several times I wanted to read all night, but I stopped me! "

"Oh? So many things happened when I was not in the territory?" Leiter pretended to be surprised, and after pondering, he waved his hand again, "Forget it, put the other things behind first, and let Thales give the blood potion quickly Take it!"

  The two came to Thales' door and tapped lightly.

   dong dong dong

   "Understood, Ruilai. Watch for another ten minutes, this episode is exciting, I'll go to bed after watching it!" A dissatisfied voice came from inside the door.

  Rilei shrugged, and said to his father: "Look, when you are not in the territory, Father, Thales always wants to violate the original agreement. Every now and then I have to come down to supervise and urge him frequently so that he can sleep well."

   Leiter frowned, knocked on the door again, and raised the volume: "It's me, open the door, Thales!"

   "Ah? Father! Okay, I'll come right away!"

A few seconds later, there were hurried footsteps approaching in the room, the door was pulled open, and Taylor wearing a bear pajamas appeared, he touched his head shyly: "Ha, it turned out to be Father, I didn't expect you to be here at night. came back."

  Rett glanced at Thales, and went straight into the house.

  Thales, who seemed to have done something wrong, followed behind his father, his eyes rolled, and suddenly said: "Father, when you are not around, I miss you to death."

Hearing this sentence, Ruilai smiled and said nothing, Leite sat on the side of the bed, and said: "I heard from Ruilai, during the time I left the territory, you were disobedient and always wanted to read novels all night? "

   "I...I didn't!" Thales lowered his head guiltily, and gave Rilai another sneaky look.

  I swear, I didn't sleep through the night once during this time, and I had a good training the next day! "

   "Tsk, if my brother doesn't supervise you, it might be different." Riley joked beside him.

   "Rilei, shut up." Thales argued angrily: "Hmph, I was going to sleep before, even if you don't come, it's the same!"

   "Hey, it's all a coincidence, isn't it? You've been reading novels since I didn't come, and you're going to sleep as soon as I come." Riley rolled her eyes, unable to complain.

   "Ang, of course!"

   "Okay, Thales!" Rhett stopped him, and Thales immediately fell silent.

"Regardless of whether you have kept our agreement or not, I just want to ask you, do you think that letting you go to bed on time in the shadow eagle branch was a kind of constraint for you and made you feel resistant?" Leiter He looked straight at Thales with a pair of eyes.

   "I...not" Thales retorted subconsciously.

   But facing his father's serious gaze, Thales didn't dare to look directly, and only looked elsewhere.

   "Alas." Leiter sighed: "Thales, my son, you must know that I am not restrained for the sake of restraint. I just want you to understand that self-discipline is an essential quality on the road to growth."

"Even if you can't cultivate and are just an ordinary person, you can't slack off!" Leiter said earnestly: "Tales, as a father, I don't necessarily have to see how outstanding my son is. I just want to see , my son can fight for something and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life!"

   "Before you also said that you need to exercise your ability, read some books on business, and assist the caravan's affairs.

   But what about the result? Only a few days after I came back, I read books on doing business. After three minutes of heat, I quickly forgot about it. "

  Rett walked to the bookshelf and patted on a book, "Look, the business books are covered with dust, but the novels are brand new and clean."

  Rilei stood a few meters away, pursing her lips, thinking about something.

  Father's thought-provoking persuasion made Thales feel ashamed, lowered his head with reddish eyes, closed his mouth tightly and did not speak.

  I started to reflect on myself, and I seemed to really accomplish nothing.

  It seems that I have never struggled for a certain goal...

   "Taylors, tell me, what is your dream?" Rhett raised his voice and snapped.

  Thales was shocked, raised his head and looked at his father, and blurted out: "I want to be a great alchemist!"

  Rett narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can you guarantee that if you become a magician, you can study alchemy, and you won't be as hot in three minutes as before?"

   "Are you sure you can hold on?"

  The last sentence was asked, revealing Leiter's true purpose!
