For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 92



Chapter 92

By the time Lennox's storage ring and storing cards could no longer receive anything anymore, the sky was already dark. Everly followed behind with a face full of black lines. They have been shopping for hours and her feet could no longer carry her.

" Lennox, let's go back. Everly is tired! "

She warped herself around his arm, pleading with all the cuteness she had. As expected, it worked. Lennox dismissed the idea of buying another storage ring to continue shopping.

" Fine, let's go back "

Thus, the two walked out of Guang street. Just as they exited the bustling street, a faint odour of herbs mixed with Everly's jasmine fragrance passed by Lennox.

How could that be?

Lennox had already given up on his olfaction sense, yet, he just smelled something other than jasmine?! and right with Everly sticking on him?!! That certainly wouldn't be a simple thing.

He grabbed Everly's hand and rushed to where the odour came from. Following the scent, Lennox stopped by a simple potion stall. The young man, who was boxing up the bottles with a disappointed expression, smiled slightly at them.

" What can I do for the young master? "

Lennox swept a meaningful glance at the potions then said:" may I take a look at this Emerald Dancer? I will pay for it "

The man was startled at first, but still nodded slowly. Lennox opened the lid of a green-coloured bottle and took a sniff, sorting out the ingredients used in it. Then, poured a single drop of the liquid on his finger, he savoured it for a moment before raising his eyebrows in surprise.

" The herbs and other ingredients are mostly low grade, but the brewing process is certainly excellent "

" ah? Ah- yes, thank you, I guess..."

The man looked bewildered for getting a sudden compliment. As Lennox was checking other potions, Everly approached him with a teary face.

" Lennox said we will go home! Why are you buying more!! "

" I won't stay long, we will leave shortly "

Lennox patted the head she buried in his embrace as he placed a pouch full of mana crystals. He said emotionlessly to the young man.

" Your name? "

" ah- me? I, I am Rafael "

Lennox scanned the man, who became nervous after seeing the pouch of money, from up to down before giving a satisfied expression. He took a handkerchief and wiped Everly's snotty face.

" well then, Rafael. I can see that you have the ability, but short on resources. It's quite pitiful to waste such talent, and I happened to be interested in hiring an alchemist "

Rafael froze. He was indeed short on money, but who is this wealthy kid trying to sponsor him?

Seeing that Lennox was dragging whatever they were talking about, Everly began wailing aloud.

" waaa! Lennox you lair!! Waaa!! You said we will go home! "

" Why are you crying???! "

Lennox tried to soothe her but she didn't seem to calm down, so he had to give up. He turned to the nonplussed Rafael saying.

" Tomorrow, we will meet here to discuss matters more. As for today, I shall take my leave "

As he took the crying Everly back to Bernard's residence, Lennox was ignorant of the death glare the little girl shot towards the harmless Rafael.

Rafael:"...."

******

After the servant finished dressing Everly, she bowed her head and soundlessly exited their room. Everly dived into the bed, rolling on the soft bed matters before suddenly raising her head to look at Lennox. Staring at him pensively.

" What is it? Spill it out "

" Why does Lennox want to meet with that freckly guy? Everly doesn't like him, don't talk to him, hmph! "

Lennox looked at her, huffing and puffing, looking angry and dissatisfied. He flipped a page of the book in his hand, wearing an amused expression.

" Why are you drinking vinegar when I am not even your husband? "

" What does that mean? Everly is not drinking anything "

With a sigh, Lennox returned his focus on the book, saying nonchalantly.

" The imperial capital lacks experts in alchemy and magic. Although I can fill the magic division, if I show interest in alchemy, it will create imbalance in power towers "

The only thing Everly understood was that he is planning on bringing Rafael to the capital. As for the reason he needs that guy it doesn't matter at all.

" NO! I won't allow it! Everly doesn't like you sticking with him!!! "

Lennox closed the book with a loud tap, impatiently saying:" what exactly is wrong with you? Are you perhaps frustrated because you couldn't find a way to the upper regions, and now venting your anger on this poor guy? "

Since the topic has been brought up, Everly certainly won't back out. She crawled to Lennox's side, nuzzling on his arm as she asked in a pitiful voice.

" does Lennox know where Rakshata's manuals are? "

" naturally, I do "

He didn't mind her sticking to him and got used to her clinginess. Everly continued in a wronged tone.

" you know, it's important for me to go to the upper regions. I need to find grand master to help my master. Can you tell Everly? "

" These manuals are not supposed to appear for anyone, or else a shit show awaits us. The black snow incident five hundred years ago was because of one of these manuals, and it was already troublesome enough"

But he didn't say no!!

Everly climbed to look at his face. Staring at him with her wide emerald eyes, saying with the sweetest voice, almost dripping honey.

" But Everly isn't just anyone. I will keep it secret, won't even tell brother Ba. So, pleeeease "

Lennox stared back for a while, but gave up in the end. Who can refuse this cutie-pie?

" fine, whatever "

If his father was still alive, he would have strangled this unreliable son of his. How could he give such an earth-shattering and heaven-raging knowledge to an innocent cinnamon roll???!!!

Rakshata in his grave: FUCK YOU SHIANL!!!!!!

Before Everly could rejoice, Lennox quickly stated.

" Under one condition "

" What does Lennox want? I will give you anything! I have a lot of scary things that master gave me, you can have them all! "

Everly's eyes shined and sparkled with determination. Waiting for him to say his demands.

" No need for that. Just, call me grandfather "

" Grandpa Lennox!!! "
