Chapter 807: Arthur Merchant Caravan

Over here.

Just when Lan Qingyou and Elisa were doing risk assessments late at night instead of sleeping, at another corner of the city, Adams also hadn't entered dreamland.

At this moment, he was sitting in front of his desk watching the rainwater crackling against the window outside.

His face was full of melancholy, as if he had something weighing on his mind.

Alright.

Actually, there was indeed something on his mind.

This matter mainly stemmed from the two Title Holders from a few hours ago.

He had clearly confirmed that the two indeed both had Titles!

The other party even very kindly let him appraise them!

Why did it have to be the day of the Mana Tide?

If it weren't for the storm ravaging outside, his messenger should already be on the way to the Imperial Capital now!

"Bastard..."

Sitting in the chair, Adams couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Two Title Holders, and two Title Holders who specialized in alchemy.

This was an existence that could completely rival the 'Empire's Twin Moons'.

As a result, because of the Mana Tide, this news couldn't be sent out!

To be honest, the current Adams very, very much wanted to share this shocking intelligence with someone.

Even if it was just writing a letter.

Writing everything he saw, heard, and thought of today in a letter and sending it out would be good.

But there wasn't.

This kind of person simply didn't exist.

It's just... stifling.

That stifling feeling of words reaching the mouth, but not being able to say them.

Extremely uncomfortable, but he had to endure it.

...

On the other side, in the Imperial Capital very far away from North John County.

A chubby man in his fifties was lying on a magnificent bed, enjoying a maid's massage while listening to the butler's report beside him.

"Which means that kid from the John Family found two unaffiliated Alchemists?"

The chubby man closed his eyes and said unhurriedly in a very leisurely voice.

This chubby man was no one else but the Empire's Prime Minister Adams had contacted, Duke Taylor.

Obviously.

In his eyes, Alchemists weren't important to the extent Adams described.

Although it wasn't hard to see Adams' high praise from the letter.

And the merits of those two Alchemists.

But!

So what?

As the Empire's Prime Minister, what kind of Alchemist hadn't he come into contact with?

Merely two little Alchemists with some ideas, they weren't worth him paying much attention to.

Of course, not paying much attention didn't mean not paying attention.

Or rather, it didn't mean not using them.

They were Alchemists after all, and not those kinds of trainees who didn't even have a status and couldn't graduate.

What should be utilized still had to be utilized.

"According to that kid from the John Family, they will arrive at the Imperial Capital in ten days to half a month. When the time comes, arrange for someone to take them to the Alchemy Academy, they won't lack the treatment they deserve."

"Understood."

"Right, I heard they came out from the mountains?"

"Yes, the letter said it was the Selala Mountain Range."

"Then prepare a house for them in passing, at least the residence still needs to be resolved."

"Understood, Duke Excellency. Then regarding the Oriolex mentioned in the letter..."

Hearing the word Oriolex, Duke Taylor's eyes, which had been closed in enjoyment all this time, finally opened.

Subsequently.

After a brief silence, Duke Taylor slowly spoke.

"Don't worry about this, there will be someone to verify it when the time comes."

"Yes..."

...

Time passed very quickly.

After eating three breakfasts, the weather outside finally cleared up.

No...

It should be said that they only knew this matter because human voices began to appear on the waterway outside the private villa.

After all, the past few days were all the sound of rainwater.

But as soon as she got up this morning, Lan Qingyou heard the voices of people chatting on passing boats outside.

Splash—

Pulling open the curtains, Lan Qingyou looked at the lake view outside.

Sunlight shone diagonally on the surface of the lake, rippling with golden scales under the blowing breeze.

"Seems like it's good weather for going out."

Lan Qingyou muttered a sentence, then started to nimbly get dressed and go out.

"You're up."

Right after going out, she ran into Elisa who was also going out.

"I'm up, how is it outside."

"The maid just came to say the caravan is already prepared, that guy Adams will come over in a bit."

"Him?"

Lan Qingyou was stunned.

"What is he coming for?"

"What else can he do, seeing us off. And there's also that matter of delivering the letter."

"Oh, that's true."

Lan Qingyou twitched her lips.

She didn't know about other things with this guy, but at least he indeed did well in this aspect of social niceties.

He would definitely come for a see-off like this.

And if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely bring some other local specialties to give her as a parting gift.

As expected.

Just as Lan Qingyou thought this, Adams' voice came from outside.

"How did the two of you rest?"

The first thing upon meeting was to ask how Lan Qingyou and the others were living.

Although so many days had passed, the daily greetings still couldn't be lacking.

"It was okay, now that the Mana Tide has also stopped, it's exactly the good weather for a long journey."

Lan Qingyou smiled.

"That's true."

Seeing the other party bring up the matter of a long journey right away, Adams also knew he couldn't keep them.

So he smilingly led the two to the door.

"This time the caravan the two of you need to escort is this one, this is the manager of the caravan."

Arriving at the door, Adams introduced a chubby man standing beside the carriage waiting to the two.

Just from the other party's silk robe and the gemstone ring on his finger, one could tell the other party was a merchant.

"The two of you must be the Lord Alchemists that Viscount Excellency mentioned, I am Arthur, the manager of this caravan."

After Adams made the introduction, the chubby man Arthur stepped forward and introduced himself.

Although the other party's attire made him look like an upstart.

But it had to be said that his etiquette was still very much in place.

Just from this one sentence of introduction, it could be seen that the other party was definitely not the uneducated upstart he appeared to be on the surface.

Instead, he gave off a feeling of having received a certain level of education.

Of course, a merchant after all.

Amiability bringing wealth was always the first priority.

Compared to making money, nothing else was important.

Especially under the circumstance of having two Alchemists act as free bodyguards for his caravan.

This kind of thing let alone now.

Even if he reincarnated two more times, he probably wouldn't encounter it.

"Don't look at Arthur like this, actually the Arthur Family holds the title of Earl. And an Earl of the Imperial Capital at that."

Seeing the greetings were done, Adams also appropriately revealed this Arthur's identity, so as to put the two at ease.

After all, they were traveling with the caravan.

Although they wouldn't go as far as worrying about being sold off.

But in order to minimize misunderstandings as much as possible, Adams still had to do some things.

And Arthur, hearing Adams say this, was first slightly stunned.

Then he immediately thought of a layer.

Since the other party revealed his identity like this right in front of him, it meant there was no need to avoid taboo.

In other words, these two were absolutely not as simple as the Alchemists he mentioned on the surface.

Thus...
