Invitations

While Omily arranged for someone to bring him food, Raymond browsed through the pile of invitations one by one.

The launch of the largest merchant association in Kaide Port in three days...

The Knight Association of the Western Sea Coast was coming to Kaide Port for autumn recruitment, and a great knight would attend the ceremony...

These invitations sent in from outside were all from local wealthy people who had escaped from the Colosseum, or from reputable people. Raymond casually threw the invitations on the ground, and Omily would clean them up later.

The invitation from the City Lord's Mansion was from Wenlan Mao, Sesi's sister, who would hold her coming-of-age ceremony in five days.

Originally intending to throw this invitation on the floor as well, Raymond hesitated for a moment as the delicate face of Wenlan Mao appeared in his mind. Frowning, Raymond thought for a while and put this invitation aside.

Omily, the close maid standing at the door with servants, saw Raymond finish reading all the invitations before hurriedly summoning the other maids to bring Raymond's meal quickly.

A large plate of barbecue, soft white bread, thick and fragrant meat soup, plus a fresh vegetable salad.

The amount of all the food was very sufficient, enough for five or six people.

Raymond's good appetite was related to his not leaving the study for three days. As he meditated for a long time, his appetite became strange without realizing it.

Such an amount of food was only enough to satisfy Raymond.

Even doubling it would at most make him slightly overeat. Raymond's digestive ability became increasingly stronger, and his body became like a camel on Earth, quickly decomposing and absorbing all the food eaten at each meal into nutrients stored in his body.

While gnawing at the greasy barbecue, Raymond casually asked Omily standing beside him, "What's new in Kaide Port these days?"

Omily, who was standing respectfully beside her, cleared her throat and told her in her sweet voice.

The annual Knight Academy of the Western Sea Coast began recruiting. Many local youths began to flock to Kaide Port, waiting for the annual knight recruitment.

The largest merchant association in Kaide Port launched a new ship built for nine months in a few days. It is said that this ship uses a new power system and has invested over one million gold coins.

Due to the turmoil in the Colosseum three months ago, many nobles who were prepared to resolve disputes through fighting beasts began to look for other ways. It is said that some slave owners' businesses became popular.

Of course, the biggest news is that Miss Wenlan Mao of the Kaide Port City Lord's Mansion will hold her coming-of-age ceremony, which means she will become the hottest bride-to-be.

"Bride-to-be?" Upon hearing the sound, Raymond was almost choked by the barbecue. He turned his head and frowned, asking.

According to Omily's explanation, local girls, even those from aristocratic families, usually set wedding engagements before coming-of-age ceremonies. However, only the City Lord's family in Kaide Port, because the old City Lord was a wizard apprentice many years ago, all Tori family girls only discussed marriage after coming-of-age ceremonies.

Given the Tori family tradition, all eligible young men could submit their personal information to the City Lord's Mansion in the week before Miss Wenlan Mao's coming-of-age ceremony. If approved, they would be eligible to attend Miss Wenlan Mao's coming-of-age ceremony.

Therefore, the coming-of-age ceremony of Tori family girls had also become a competition for young talents. Over the years, four young people had successfully become sons-in-law of the Tori family, rising to prominence.

Seeing Omily's face turn red, Raymond chuckled.

It seemed that the Tori family was very good at performing, organizing Miss Wenlan Mao's coming-of-age ceremony on a grand scale to attract eligible young people to participate in such a selection. On the one hand, it could attract talents to Kaide Port. On the other hand, it could optimize the family's bloodline and grow branches and leaves.

Thinking of the current acting City Lord of the Tori family, Haiven Sen, Raymond felt uncomfortable. This seemingly sunny guy was definitely not as harmless as he seemed.

Last time in the old City Lord's bedroom, Raymond's feeling was not good. He did not quite believe that Haiven Sen would act so sad because of his old father's words, even needing to shed tears in front of Raymond, an outsider.

After putting all the food in his stomach, Raymond, whose stomach was finally comfortable, held the flower tea Omily had brewed for him and let Omily bring the box placed on the head of the bed.

The exquisite wooden box was made of wood without any odor. Inside was the eastern tobacco leaf sent by Haiven Sen.

Most of the primary processed golden tobacco leaves were carefully cut into thin strips and then rolled up with sheets of golden yellow tobacco leaves.

Looking at the thing in his hand, Raymond also had a nostalgic smile on his face.

Without suitable paper, Raymond could only reluctantly make these tobacco leaves into cigars to smoke.

The rising smoke lingered in the room, and Raymond, lying in the chair, had wandering thoughts.

Omily, who was familiar with Raymond's temper, started pounding on Raymond's legs with her little fists to relieve his muscles and relax his body.

Long-term meditation, although the spirit became more excited, it also brought subsequent muscle soreness and physical exhaustion.

In Raymond's feeling, meditation was like an exciting stimulant that gives spiritual pleasure. During meditation, the strong feeling brought by the entry of active substances could be addictive.

Night fell unknowingly, and the cool breeze blowing in from the terrace lowered the room temperature a lot. Surrounded by smoke, Raymond inadvertently found that Omily, who was pounding on his legs, had slightly red eyes, and her delicate little fists were pounding irregularly, as if something was on her mind.

"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?" Extinguishing the last short cigar, Raymond asked.

Startled by the sudden voice, Omily hurriedly lowered her head and explained, "Ah! I'm sorry, Master Raymond, I'm fine..."

The slender and straight neck, slippery skin, clear and melodious voice made Raymond lose his mind for a moment. He reached out and grabbed Omily's hair in his hand, unconsciously twisting it in his fingers, waiting.

The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous, and a strange atmosphere was slowly forming.

After a long time, Omily said timidly, "Master Raymond, may I ask you for something?"
