Gu Le didn't seem to show too many abnormalities. He was very polite to Chen Daolin. This kind of politeness seemed to be just a kind of respect for the identity of a magician, but Chen Daolin kept hanging in his heart.

He simply introduced himself and stopped talking.

For some reason, Chen Daolin seemed to be worried from the bottom of his heart that this Gu Le would recognize him. There was an instinct that made Chen Daolin feel that this Gu Le seemed a bit dangerous, and deep down he really didn't want to get close to this guy.

After Gu Le walked in, Kaman seemed to be much quieter. It seemed that this arrogant and domineering fat man had also restrained a lot in front of Gu Le. However, Baron Hines looked very proud. Seeing Kaman silent, Baron Hines was even more and more happy. He talked and laughed with Gu Le in his words and deeds, as if he deliberately showed the enthusiasm between him and Gu Le in front of Kaman.

Kaman looked depressed aside, and Chen Daolin naturally would not talk much.

However, Gu Le is really a guy who is good at socializing. Even in the chat, he will never neglect others. Although Hines tried his best to talk to him, Gu Le would deliberately take care of the silent Kaman and Chen Daolin every time he said a few words, and took the initiative to lead the topic to the two of them, indicating that he would never neglect them.

This kind of performance of dancing with all the best makes Chen Daolin more cautious - especially he seems to feel that Fatty Kaman seemed to show a slight fear of this ancient music.

"Mr. Gule went to Freeport this time and received a lot of rare good things." Hines deliberately smiled in front of the fat man: "I also ask Mr. Gule for his blessing. He bought something for me. This time I went to give it to Miss Lodell. I think she must be very happy to come."

Hines was a little excited on his face, and he deliberately looked at Kaman and smiled: "Miss Lodell has always been curious about the things of the elves. This time, Mr. Gule helped me get a magical treasure of the elves. Kaman, I heard that you had also gone to the Elf Tribe in the Frozen Forest to find a few magical treasures?"

Seeing the fat man's unhappy expression, he obviously found nothing.

Gu Le listened, smiled quietly, but deliberately jumped away from the topic and said with a faint smile: "Baron, you are so kind to you, the things I found are really not rare... Well, when it comes to magic, there is a wizard here. Lord Darling, you have the most say in the field of magic. I heard that there have been several big news in the magic world recently."

Chen Daolin looked motionless, glanced at Gu Le, and slowly said, "Oh?"

Gu Le looked at Chen Daolin with a smile: "I heard that the Magic Union has already spread the news. Just a few days ago, something big happened in the east. The Magic Union has issued a notice with a dedicated magic array. I am afraid that many magicians have rushed to the north these days, all for that matter."

Kaman couldn't help but feel a little interested and looked at Gu Le: "The Magic Union has been alarmed? Hey, a special magic circle has been used to issue notices. Huh? Such a lively thing has not happened in many years, right?"

The fat man subconsciously glanced at Chen Daolin, and Gu Le's eyes also fell on Chen Daolin's face, and he smiled and said, "Hello Daling, you are a magician. I wonder if you have seen the notice issued by the Magic Union?"

Chen Daolin has never seen the gate of the Magic Union open wherever he has opened. Where did he see any so-called notice?

However, after hearing Gu Le's words, he felt aroused and immediately guessed what the other party was saying. However, he still pretended to be indifferent and said lightly: "I have never heard of it. I have always been in simplicity and don't care much about the outside world's news."

After hearing this, Hines couldn't help asking Gu Le: "Mr. Gu Le, why haven't you heard you say such an interesting thing along the way? What happened? You must know it, right?"

Gu Le kept paying attention to Chen Daolin's reaction. Seeing that he refused to say more, Gu Le just smiled, then looked at the expressions of Baron Hines and Kaman, lowered his voice and said slowly: "I heard that it is for... that Stone Lady!"

"oh!!"

Hines and Kaman exclaimed in a low voice at the same time.

Gu Le smiled and said, "There is news that it has been confirmed. The Stone Lady was living in seclusion in Freeport. Someone has seen her. The Magic Union has received this news, but I am afraid that the magician law enforcement team has been dispatched. The rewards of the past years have never been cancelled... And the Stone Lady is said to have secret treasures in her hand. I think there are many magicians who are willing to go..."

As he said that, Gu Le deliberately looked at Chen Daolin again: "Hisser Daling, I just heard that you were also coming from the north. Didn't you get news when you were in Freeport?"

Chen Daolin just shook his head: "I don't know."

Since he refused to say it, no one else could ask. Most magicians in the tradition of the Roland Empire were weird. Since Chen Daolin was unwilling to say it, it was hard for others to ask him what he wanted.

Gu Le and Hines drank some more wine and exchanged some interesting stories from the aristocratic circle.

Then Hines offered an invitation: "Master Darling, my convoy is about to go south to Prady. I don't know where you are heading? If you are on the same journey, you might as well start together. I admire the magician the most in my life. If you meet a mage like you, it will definitely make me feel very regretful if you can't make friends with me."

Chen Daolin was embarrassed. Just as he was thinking about not knowing how to answer, the fat Kaman said coldly: "Hynes, you always speak so hypocritically. Since I am on the same journey with Mr. Darling, you can naturally guess that we are going to Prady too, so why bother asking more questions?"

Hines sneered: "Of course I know that you are going to Prady, why are you willing to miss Miss Lodell's banquet? Humph... It's just Lord Darling, is it the old friend of the Liszt family?"

Chen Daolin knew that he could not hide it. Since he had already pretended to be a magician, he simply pretended to be the magician's introvertedness to the end and said in a cold tone: "I was entrusted by someone to send something to Liszt's house."

"That's great." Hines laughed. He laughed generously and said loudly: "Master, since you are all going to the castle of Liszt's house, why not go on the road together. I yearn for magical civilization, and I want to ask you for advice on some magical doubts."

Chen Daolin glanced at Hines coldly and said hard: "It's inconvenient."

His answer made Hines's face look a little ugly. However, the baron was quite well-educated. He smiled embarrassedly and shook his head and said, "Then... well, it seems that I have no chance to get your advice. Well, if you have any instructions..."

"Okay." Kaman suddenly stood up and sneered: "Hynes, put away your trick of being a wise man. Just do your family well in business. What should you recruit magicians? Can you support magicians?"

As he said that, he looked at Chen Daolin: "Hisser Daling, we are full, so let's go on the road now?"

Chen Daolin had already wanted to leave. Hearing this, he said coldly, "um" and stood up, nodded to Hines and Gule lukewarmly, pulled Barossa, who was already feeling uncomfortable, and immediately turned around and left. The little servant Xia Xia hurriedly followed.

Kaman looked at Hines, and finally glanced at Gule and said lightly: "Mr. Gule, let's meet in Prady City."

Gu Le laughed: "You must plot with the general to get drunk."

"Bah, I'm not a general." Kaman shook his head: "Just a second-class adjutant, I can't afford to call you."

"It's just a matter of time." Gu Le laughed: "With Lord Kaman's character, talent and ability, he will become the leader of the army sooner or later."

"That's thank you for your good words." Kaman smiled at Gule, turned around and walked out.

After the few people left the store, Hines couldn't help but breathe heavily and said annoyedly: "This fat man is too arrogant!"

Gu Le smiled faintly, looked at Hines, but did not respond - Gu Le is extremely cunning. He and Baron Hines are just ordinary friends. He knows the background of Fatty Kaman and knows the grudges between the two sides, so he will not rashly comment on such things.

However, Hines couldn't help but say, "That magician named Darling is so arrogant... Humph."

Gu Le smiled at this time and persuaded him: "Master Baron, a magician, has always been a big temper. I think this Darling mage is easy to get along with. In the imperial capital, those magicians are all above the top and can't even say a word."

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "I see this Darling Master, I'm afraid he has an extraordinary origin."

"Oh?" Hines's eyes lit up and he asked, "Mr. Gule, you are very knowledgeable. Did you see something?"

Gu Le smiled and said, "You didn't see that the companion of Lord Darling's two girls, one of whom was older..."

Hines was stunned for a moment, then smiled and sighed softly: "It's indeed a stunning... There are very few magicians who are close to women, but that woman has a great appearance, and Darling is young, so it's not uncommon to like women."

Gu Le looked at Hines, shook his head, and smiled, "The Baron was joking. It's not too strange that the young magician is close to a woman, but I'm a little curious about the origin of that girl."

"Oh?" Hines was a very curious person, and his eyes lit up immediately: "What did you see?"

Gu Le smiled: "I have been in the north for so many days and have walked in the frozen forest several times in person... That girl, if it weren't for an elf, I would be willing to dig out these eyes!"

"Elf?" Hines immediately looked slightly moved and cried in a low voice: "Take an elf girl as a sermon... This Lord Darling is such a big show!"

...

Chen Daolin and his group came out of the hotel. After rushing the carriage and leaving the hotel yard, Chen Daolin, who was sitting in the carriage, breathed a little relieved.

"You seemed a little nervous just now." Kaman suddenly laughed.

Chen Daolin glanced at Kaman and said lightly: "I'm even more strange, why do you want to follow me? Those two are your acquaintances, why don't you ask them for help or just follow them?"

Kaman curled his lips: "To be honest, if it were just that Hines, that guy was a little hypocritical, but his character was not too bad. I wouldn't mind going with him. But, I don't want to drink him and deal with him more."

"Oh?" Chen Daolin was a little surprised when he heard this.

He originally thought that judging from his performance just now, Kaman hated Baron Hines more, but his attitude towards Gu Le was pretty good.

"Although Hines is a bit hypocritical, he is just a noble style. That Gu Le, that man is very cunning, this man is actually smiling, but in fact he has the most ideas in his stomach. I am the most impatient to deal with him."

After a pause, Kaman suddenly patted the wooden board of the carriage and shouted loudly: "Little Dog Luo, how long have you been hiding behind? If you don't die, just make a sound!"

Rodriguez IV's muffled voice came from behind the carriage: "You are so patient! I saw their convoy coming in in the carriage. I saw Gu Le at a glance and hid immediately. I thought you would come out soon, but I told me to wait for so long."

After hearing this, Chen Daolin couldn't help but be curious... It turned out that Rodriguez IV was so afraid of that ancient music.

Rodriguez IV said slowly: "The fat man is right, that Gule... Well, my teacher once reminded me to be careful when dealing with that person."

After saying that, he sighed: "What food did you buy? Give me some, I'm almost hungry."

"I thought you magicians just need to meditate and don't have to eat and shit." The fat man laughed, made a joke, and still threw some food over.

After taking it, Rodriguez IV took it out and took some meat and bite it a few times before saying, "Darling, the wolf locked in the back of your carriage is a bit dishonest... I said, what you said was to give Miss Lodell, wouldn't it just to give her a wolf knight?"

Chen Daolin laughed: "Of course not... that wolf knight is my private property."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, he didn't walk with those people, otherwise, even though Gu Le didn't recognize him, he would definitely recognize the wolf rider who was locked in his cage!

"I have never seen such a strange magician as you." Rodriguez IV sighed behind him, "He actually brought a wolf rider by his side. You are not a gladiator... Do you want to tame this wolf warrior as your warrior escort?"

Chen Daolin felt a move in his heart and smiled deliberately: "Isn't it possible?"

Rodriguez IV crawled over from behind, poked his head out to look at Chen Daolin, raised a thumbs up, and praised: "I'm brave enough! I don't dare to do such an interesting thing."

"Is it difficult?" Chen Daolin frowned.

"It's not that there are no taming wolf warriors. There are many tamed orc warriors in the empire. However, there are no magicians who use orcs as entourages. You must know that when we are fighting, what we are most afraid of is the enemy approaching, so the entourage warriors who are close to each other must be absolutely reliable to a certain extent. These orc warriors are wild and difficult to drive away. God knows when they will suddenly bite you. If you are mindful of spells and fight against the enemy, who can eat orcs around you for a moment? If you are not my race, their hearts will be different! If you dare to use orcs as close entourages, you are either geniuses or madmen!"

Speaking of this, Rodriguez IV looked at Chen Daolin deeply: "Do you have any special unique means to tame orcs?"

"No." Chen Daolin told him calmly.

Rodriguez IV was stunned and laughed: "No?"

"It's really not." Chen Daolin sighed: "If I say, I don't know how to tame orcs at all, do you believe it?"

"..." Rodriguez IV was stunned.

Fat Kaman said a little dissatisfied with the tone and snorted: "What's the hard thing about taming an orc? If I want me to say something, I will be hungry for two days if I don't obey. If I don't obey, I will whip it! I see if it's hard bones or the master's whip! After a long time, there are no disobedient orcs!"

Rodriguez IV spat, his tone was very contemptuous: "Your army did this to deal with orc coolies! If a magician wants to conquer his close samurai escorts, he must be sincere and loyal to the other party!"

After hearing this, Chen Daolin didn't say anything, and just thought secretly in his heart.

To be honest, I bought this wolf warrior on a whim, but I didn’t think too much about how to deal with it. At first I just thought that it would be very powerful if I brought such a wolf warrior by my side, but now I think about it, how could such a proud, ruthless orc, obedient to him honestly? This is the biggest trouble.

"Orcs have always been difficult to tame." Rodriguez IV said: "If you are an ordinary escort, signing a magic contract can ensure the loyalty of the other party. If you dare to rebel against your master, you will naturally be subject to magic backlash. But these orcs have always been fierce and fearless. When they are crazy, they are not afraid of magic contracts at all. I heard that a magician once wanted to subdue orc escorts, but they were killed when they were crazy. Even if the orc escorts were backlashed by magic, they died... "

Chen Daolin sighed: "Then... have you not used orcs as entourage?"

"... There are still some." Rodriguez IV thought for a while and smiled: "The previous generation of Tulip Dukes had used orc entourages, and... some holy-level magicians have also been rumored to have subdued orc entourages. But... those supernatural and sage-like powerful people are not something we can guess."

The three of them sighed. Kaman and Rodriguez IV admired each other, while Chen Daolin was helpless.

Then Chen Daolin seemed to ask about the origin of Baron Hines casually.

Rodriguez IV told Chen Daolin that Baron Hines was a middle-class nobleman, and his family made a fortune by supplying military supplies and weapons to the army. Although he had no political power, his business was doing well. In recent years, he has sought development and tried to get closer to the Liszt family.

That Baron Hines is a good person, but he is a little dandy. He has probably heard a lot of legendary stories since he was a child. He always likes to recruit strange people on weekdays. It’s a pity that this guy is just a small baron after all. He is really the kind of person with great skills. Who is willing to surrender to the house of a small baron?

So that guy spent a lot of money in vain, but didn't recruit any truly capable people, but he supported some gangsters at home... This has been cited as a joke.

"He is actually a good person." Rodriguez IV sighed: "I just like to play the tricks of polite people who are good at it, which is annoying. Speaking of which, he also has the nickname of "subord". He spent a lot of money to recruit two magicians, but later he was cheated of eating and drinking for more than half a year before he found out that both were liars, and one of them was actually a magician in a circus."

After hearing this, Chen Daolin couldn't help but smile and said, "It's such a wonderful person. I'd known that I should have had a few more drinks with him just now."

"A magician like you must be willing to make friends with you. If you are short of money, just go and find him." Kaman sneered a few times: "That guy Gu Le probably cheated money from Hines this time. Hum... This person's heart is the darkest, and that sucker of Hines may have bleeded heavily this time."

"Heinz, alas! Actually, I have always had a good impression of him." Rodriguez IV said: "At least, I heard that although his family is doing business, they are always obedient and will never do the kind of thing that privately sells smuggled materials to the orc kingdom. Humph, this is rare."

"Oh!" Fat Kaman did not speak out and mock Rodriguez IV. Instead, he sighed and said angrily: "Now those nobles and wealthy families have healed their scars and forgot their pain! Hum... A group of guys who forget their righteousness when they see profits! In recent years, I have not seen a few guys who come to do smuggling business in the Eastern Fortress for several years! If it were my temper, I would have killed them all with one knife! It's a pity that these guys are very hard in the backstage. I can't offend, kill, or catch them! Hum, I just hope to be able to slow down this term, so I applied to transfer to the northwest grassland to release horses, which is cleaner than watching these dirty things here!"

After hearing this, Chen Daolin felt aroused in his heart and couldn't help asking: "Is the smuggling at the border... very serious?"

This time, Rodriguez IV answered, and he smiled bitterly: "Of course it's serious. The orc kingdom lacks metal mineral materials. The good steel produced by our Roland Empire can be sold at a sky-high price. The law in the empire was originally strict, and it was considered as a crime to be accused of colluding with enemies! But after such a hundred years of peace, even the strictest laws were gradually relaxed, not to mention that those wealthy and nobles took the lead in banning and in order to seek benefits, they were endless."

Chen Daolin was curious and couldn't help but ask: "Those orcs shouldn't have any threat to the empire..., right?"

When talking about this topic, both Kaman and Rodriguez IV were silent.

After a while of silence, Rodriguez IV said: "This... I think it should be like this? The Orc Kingdom lacks food every year. They are busy cutting down the frozen forests to seek more land. I heard that they are having a quarrel with the elves. Our empire has Kaspersky defense line, and the war that year has already been fought so that they dare not look up... Besides, the empire also has a pillar of the sky-raising position like the Tulip Family. The barbaric things in the Orc Kingdom cannot be a big problem."

But Kaman kept shutting his mouth and not speaking.

Chen Daolin was a little curious. He glanced at the fat man and found that the arrogant and domineering fat man was not chewing the sound, which was a bit unusual.

"Carman? It's rare to see if you don't quarrel with Rodriguez?" Chen Daolin deliberately tried with words.

"Hmph." The fat man snorted heavily, then sighed again.

A trace of solemnity appeared in the eyes, and then slowly said, "What can I say? Now everyone in the empire has the same idea as this little dog! Ninety of the 100 people with this idea are like this. Even I heard that even the masters of the imperial capital think so... Humph! I used to have the same idea, but after staying on the border for many years, I can only say that if the masters in the empire still have this idea, we will suffer a lot in the hands of these orcs within ten years!"

"oh?"

Chen Daolin was shocked and immediately asked: "Why do you say that?"

Rodriguez IV also frowned: "Fatty, are you exaggerating?"

Kaman ignored Chen Daolin, but looked at Rodriguez IV and sneered: "Little Dog Luo, I'll ask you a few questions. Do you dare to answer truthfully?"

"What's there to be afraid of!"

"Okay!" Kaman sighed, and then his tone became solemn: "First, how is the combat effectiveness of the army on the northern border of the empire today than a hundred years ago?"

"This..." Rodriguez IV hesitated for a moment and finally said: "A hundred years ago, a strong army established by the first Duke of Tulip Du Wei, has the highest combat power in the world. It swept the orc dwarf elves. The elite forces in a hundred battles are naturally the strongest! After this century, although it cannot be said that one generation is worse than the other, after all, there is a lack of war. The army has been in peace for a hundred years. I think... I feel a little relaxed, and there are some."

"You're saying this a bit too vague." Kaman sneered: "It's not just a little 'slack'! I haven't seen what the army a hundred years ago looked like. But I've heard that the empire had a Northern Storm Legion and Thunder Whip Legion a hundred years ago! At that time, the commander of the Tulip Duke won every battle, and the Griffin Knights in the air were invincible!! The Demon Knights are invincible in the world! But now... The Storm Legion stationed at Kaspersky's defense has reduced its strength by at least 30%. I won't say that

Now the troops stationed in the fortresses on the border are on the surface, but most of the generals in the army are busy doing business and making money. The Eastern Fortress is already one of the three fortresses on the Kaspersky Line of Defense. The defenders are now normal in spring every year, and their daily training is sloppy. I have been in the Eastern Fortress for three years and have only experienced two exercises in total! I see that many people's bones have long since softened. If a war really starts, those orc warriors can fight ten infantry of us!"

Rodriguez IV was silent.

Kaman sneered again and continued, "Will I ask you again? The second question: Are the orcs stronger or weaker than a hundred years ago?"

"This... should be weak." Rodriguez IV smiled and said, "A hundred years ago, they were a coalition of three races. Now the dwarves have gone to the Kilimarro Mountains to drill holes, and the elves have taken root in the frozen forest. These orcs have gone to two powerful allies, so they are naturally much weaker."

"Oh!" Kaman sneered: "Is it really that way? I only know that a hundred years ago, the orc race had three giants, the wolf race, the hoof race, and the tiger race, each with one leader. Even during wars, there were constant disputes within them, disputes of interest, open and secret struggles. There were even more conflicts between the orc tribe and the elf dwarf race. But what about now? Over the past hundred years, the orcs have lived in the north for a hundred years... We always say that they lack food every year... But why are there insufficient food? That's because their population has been growing!! The orc race characteristics are similar to humans. They are not as fertile as elves. The orcs' fertility is even stronger than humans! After a hundred years of development, their current population is at least a hundred years ago in the war era.

Nearly three times! And over the past century, we humans have been peaceful and without war. But the orcs are not idle! They are tribal forms, and they are not counting small internal fights, but they are also constantly surrounding and grazing monsters in the frozen forest on a large scale, and occasionally rubbing with the elves occasionally... After a hundred years, the orc warriors are still barbaric and powerful. The most important thing is that they were three giants and three leaders a hundred years ago! What about now? There is only one kingdom in the orc king's order! All orc tribe races obey the orders of an orc king! Although the internal cannot be said to be a solid piece of the inside, it is not as internal disputes as in the same century ago. If one person calls the orders, the whole clan follows! It can be said that they are more united than a hundred years ago! Do you understand this comparison?"

After the fat man finished speaking, he sighed softly: "We are much weaker than a hundred years ago! There are no more elite soldiers and generals a hundred years ago, but there are more greedy businessmen with a lot of heart. However, the other party has three times the population and its strength is much stronger than a hundred years ago."

"But..." Rodriguez IV thought for a while and smiled softly: "We also have the tulip family! As long as there are tulip flags flying, this continent will be the world of the Roland people!"

"...Tulip Flag..." Kaman's expression suddenly became a little complicated. He looked at Rodriguez IV deeply, then looked at Chen Daolin again. The fat man's smile on his lips was a little bitter: "This... is exactly the third line I want to say."

The fat man smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think the tulip family is more than the past?"

Rodriguez IV's expression changed, stared at Kaman, and shouted sternly: "Fatty! If you like to bicker for other things, I can do it to you! Don't forget your origin! If you dare to say something disrespectful to tulips, even if I am not in good health, I will fight you!"

Kaman looked at Rodriguez IV and smiled bitterly: "Little Dog Luo, don't say such things. My respect for the Tulip family is no less than that of you! My fat man is willing to shed the last drop of blood for it when the tulip flag is to it!"

After a pause, he whispered bitterly: "But... to be honest, can the Tulip family be compared with a hundred years ago? Let's not talk about the first generation of Tulip Grand Duke and the Prince of the Protector of the Country, how talented and powerful. Although the successors of all generations are all great men,... after all, the Tulip family seems to have never been... Alas, Luo Xiaogou, don't you think that over the past few decades, the Tulip family has become more and more... some are not doing their jobs?"

Not doing your job properly?

Rodriguez IV became strange when he heard this.

"For decades, the family has given power in many places. In the army, except for the Thunder Whip, which is still a tulip line, the Storm Legion has almost no trace of tulips from top to bottom. In the political arena, two prime ministers are not from the Tulip family. The family seems to have devoted more energy to managing the huge family industry. The tulip workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and its business is spread all over the north, west and west of the empire. It's a pity that its influence in the political arena... I'm afraid these few

Over the years, I have fallen to the lowest level in previous years! Miss Messiah is about to inherit the title, and how can she, a girl, enter the political arena in the future? Although the empire has produced a queen, it seems that she has never produced any female marshals and prime ministers! Miss Messiah is young. Even though she inherits the title, she has no qualifications in politics and the army. How can you truly control the power in the future and become the pillar of the empire?”

When Chen Daolin heard this, his face suddenly turned strange and couldn't help but interject: "Messiah...Well, where is her father? The last Duke of Tulip, don't he care about these things?"

As soon as these words were said, Kaman and Rodriguez IV both changed their faces at the same time, and their expressions became extremely strange. Both of them stared at Chen Daolin with strange eyes.

This look was too strange. Chen Daolin felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at it. He smiled bitterly: "What are you... watching me like this? Did I say something wrong?"

"His Excellency Darling." Carman frowned and said, "How come you... don't even know this?"

Rodriguez IV also shook his head and said, "Even if you are ignorant and simplified, how could you not know about such a thing?"

"I... don't know what?" Chen Daolin suddenly felt aroused in his heart and suddenly thought of a thought.

That Du Weiwei... is so young, it is said that she is going to inherit the title.

So... Could it be that her father, the previous generation of Tulip Duke, is no longer here?

This...didn't it mean that every generation of Duke Tulip is a strong man? With Du Weiwei's age, her father shouldn't be too old, and he shouldn't have passed away so early, right?

Yes!

Chen Daolin remembered that he had never heard Du Weiwei mention her father. Even Lanlan... When he heard Lanlan talk about the love between her and Du Weiwei, he seemed to have only heard that the elders of the Tulip family stopped them, but he had never heard that Du Weiwei's father had come forward.

Could it be... the previous generation of Tulip Duke is really gone?!

"Darling, you really don't know?" Kaman looked at Chen Daolin with his eyes narrowed: "It's known to everyone in the Empire, even peddlers and pawns! How come you don't know?"

Chen Daolin couldn't answer, but he simply gritted his teeth and smiled coldly: "If you don't know, you don't know, so what? I have always lived in seclusion and didn't care about the world. I don't know too many things. Do you have to tell you one by one?"

He answered this way, although Kaman and Rodriguez IV were weird, they could not answer. They looked at each other, and Kaman smiled bitterly: "I have seen many strange magicians, but you are the strangest guy I have ever seen. You said you live in seclusion, and I even suspected that you have never left the house for decades."
Chapter completed!
