Eileen is going to meet her father, whom she has not seen for many years, and Raymond naturally wants to visit his father-in-law in his new identity.
Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to borrow the large communication equipment in the royal capital to contact the "Ghost Group" friends in the Endless Sea.
.......
As early as outside the palace, Raymond knew what was going to be discussed in the meeting.
He led Eileen and walked into the palace unobstructed. The guards around him didn't notice at all and allowed the two strangers to enter the hall.
Not long after, only three people were left in the huge palace hall.
Philip stood up from the throne and greeted him enthusiastically. He walked over and shouted excitedly: "Oh, my dear daughter, you are back?!"
He is not only a king, but also a father.
This originally extremely gifted [Night Crow] Philip, once the "No. 1 master of the Black Sea", originally had the opportunity to step into a higher level of extraordinary. His talent was extremely good, otherwise he would not have been able to comprehend the three levels of mystery.
.
Unfortunately, not everyone pursues the extraordinary and supreme realm, he chose rights.
Even at this moment, when his close relatives reunited, Raymond could clearly feel some not-so-pure excitement in his emotions.
However, it doesn't matter anymore, he is Irene's father after all.
Irene also looked at Philip with excitement and called out: "Father."
The father and daughter hugged each other excitedly.
After a long time, Philip asked again: "Irene, and...Captain Raymond, why did you come back to the Black Sea?"
Tianlan Palace has the most well-informed channels for obtaining information. Naturally, he also heard about Raymond's reputation in the Endless Sea, the "Eight Endless Emperors"...
The junior person in the past has now become an unattainable big shot, and His Majesty the King does not know how to face him for a moment.
However, he knew very well that since this man returned to the Black Sea, the navy's troubles would be solved immediately.
Just now, Raymond was able to avoid the palace guards and induction restrictions and enter the palace quietly, which means that his extraordinary strength is no longer what it used to be, at least it is not comparable to that of the Sequence 4 Navy "Commodore".
"It's a long story..."
Raymond did not intend to explain more, but said calmly: "Actually, I do have something important to ask Your Majesty when I come to the palace this time..."
Phillip didn't dare to ask for help, so he quickly responded: "'Please' seems too crude... If there is anything I can do to help, just ask."
Raymond was not polite and said: "First, I would like to borrow the palace's remote communication equipment."
Phillip immediately agreed: "That's simple, you can do it now."
"This is second..."
After a pause, Raymond looked at Irene beside him, smiled tenderly, and said: "I would like to ask your Majesty to betroth Princess Irene to me..."
"ah...?"
Hearing this, Philip was stunned for a moment, and then his whole face turned rosy, shining with a layer of luster.
Without any hesitation at all, he said cheerfully: "Okay! I will arrange for the palace officials to choose a suitable day..."
How could he not know what these words meant, what kind of relationship there was, and what troubles could not be solved?
Will the son-in-law help his father-in-law?
But after the excitement, Philip looked at his daughter and then at Raymond, and suddenly he felt something like a hero dying in his heart.
He still clearly remembers how frightened the young boy in Philip Academy who needed his secret care to survive saw him for the first time...
But he didn't expect that a few years later, he had grown into a giant eagle that could fight in the sky, a being that even he could not look up to.
After a pause, Philip asked Raymond and Raymond again: "By the way, are you planning to return to the Black Sea to settle down this time, or are you going to..."
If possible, both parties hope that this stable life will last forever.
Unfortunately, we can't.
"We have to go. The situation in the Endless Sea is very bad. We have to go..."
Raymond thought about it and said: "When my friends come to pick us up, we will leave the Black Sea in about three months..."
.......
Father and daughter did not want to meet again. There was a lot to say, and Irene stayed in the palace.
And Lei Meng was walking alone on the streets of Tianlan Capital.
The Black Sea is his "hometown", and there are some old friends who he wants to visit. Aldrich is definitely where he must go to see him.
If it hadn't been for this old man, Raymond would never have reached this point in potion science.
The "Potion Masters Guild" is the most lively union anywhere, and this branch in the Black Sea also has an independent ship island in the royal capital.
Raymond blended in with the crowd of adventurers and walked towards the attic of the president of the Potion Master's Guild.
The streets are very lively.
This is the Potion Masters Guild and the largest trading market for potion materials in the entire royal capital.
In addition to those stores, street stalls set up by adventurers and mercenaries can be seen everywhere on the streets, and there is a strong smell of mixed medicinal materials in the air.
They were all materials for low-level potions, and none of them caught Raymond's eye.
The entrance to the Potion Masters Guild is bustling with people, and a large number of potion material search and purchase tasks are posted here every day. In addition to adventurers, there are also potion masters in black robes who come and go from time to time under the respectful gaze of everyone.
Although the hall was noisy, Raymond also captured some information he wanted to know.
"Have you heard that the Federation of Trade Unions over the Endless Sea has sent people here, and it seems that they intend to replace President Aldrich's position..."
"Ah? Why? President Aldrich is our greatest potion master in the Black Sea, and also the most selfless and upright president. Why does the Federation of Trade Unions want to replace him?"
"I'm not sure. I heard that President Aldrich disobeyed the orders of the Federation of Trade Unions and even had a conflict with the Navy."
"Ah...why?"
"I heard that he wants to continue to keep the Black Sea Potion Union neutral and is unwilling to swear allegiance to the World Headquarters."
"Our 'Potion Masters Guild' has always been neutral and should never be controlled by any force. So I think President Aldrich did the right thing..."
"But... being loyal to the World Headquarters doesn't seem to have any bad effects."
"Anyway, I support President Aldrich no matter what! Without him, I wouldn't have been able to afford the sky-high price potion that was jacked up by the 'Whale Chamber of Commerce' monopoly. Now I can become a transcendent, Aldrich
The president is my biggest benefactor..."
"That's right! President Aldrich is the most selfless person in our Black Sea. Without him, potions would never be so cheap, and there would never be so many people who could become extraordinary people. Look at the resurgent 'Whale Chamber of Commerce'
, began to monopolize the potion market again..."
"..."
Raymond listened to a few words casually, his expression as usual.
He had a pretty good understanding of the situation in the Black Sea. Naturally, his teacher's situation would not be too good.
...
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!
A crisp knock on the door sounded.
In the office of the Potion Masters Guild, a bearded old man was looking at some potions book attentively. The six-star Potion Master medal on his chest was shining brightly, clearly proving his identity.
This old man is naturally the president of the Black Sea Potion Masters Guild and the only six-star great potion master, Aldrich!
"Please come in!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Aldrich was also confused. He remembered that there was no appointment to visit at this time.
"Click" the door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man with a smile on his face walked in.
The old man's shock had not yet appeared on his face when he suddenly looked at the young man and bowed respectfully to him: "Teacher, long time no see..."
"you..."
Aldrich's eyes widened, and he finally overlapped the face in front of him with his most proud disciple in his memory, and exclaimed: "Are you Raymond?"
Raymond nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "Teacher, the disciple didn't disturb you, did he?"
When Aldrich heard this, his face suddenly turned rosy with excitement, and he burst into tears as he looked at it.
He quickly stood up from the chair, walked over, and asked in disbelief: "I'm not dreaming, am I? Why did you come back to the Black Sea?"
He carefully looked at Raymond, whom he had not seen for almost ten years, and from his determined face, he could vaguely see the look of the young boy he had been back then.
He still clearly remembered that when he wanted to accept this boy as his disciple, this "ghost" guy still asked questions, fearing that he would be deceived...
Raymond sighed slightly: "It's a long story..."
...
This conversation will take place half an hour later.
Aldrich finally believed that the person in front of him was really his disciple Raymond, and exclaimed: "So, the situation in the Endless Sea has really gotten that bad? The Potion Masters' General Guild has been controlled by the World Government.
?”
"Um."
Raymond nodded and said, "Maybe it's worse."
Aldrich's expression became a little solemn, and he immediately guessed something: "So, you may be leaving the Black Sea soon?"
Raymond blinked, trying to lighten the atmosphere, and asked with a smile: "You know?"
Aldrich glanced at him and said in a strange tone: "How can a big man like you, the Eight Endless Emperors, stay in this corner of the Black Sea for a long time? This sea cannot support a big fish like you."
"..."
Raymond shrugged noncommittally. The old man was as shrewd as ever.
As Aldrich spoke, he suddenly let out another long sigh and said: "From the moment you walked in, I guessed that you were not just here to visit me, an old man, but more like to say goodbye. With great power comes great responsibility.
The bigger it is. The big winds and waves on the other side of the Endless Sea, your boy must be involved..."
Upon hearing this, Raymond looked slightly complicated.
My teacher always understands me as a disciple.
Aldrich: "Are you not sure about the Endless Sea?"
Raymond shook his head and said nothing.
The enemy is the entire world government and the mysterious evil god. Who can say what’s the certainty?
Even if he has awakened [Divine Body·Explosive Qi Hai] now, he is not sure at all.
"Why..."
Aldrich glanced at him, sighed slightly, and continued: "Leymon, you are my disciple, but your achievements now far exceed that of a teacher... I am very pleased. The old man can't help now.
I have nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to advise you. I just hope that when you return to the Black Sea next time...if I am still alive, the master and the apprentice can meet again and chat for a few words..."
As soon as the old man said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became very sad.
Aldrich took another long breath and said: "Raymon, you must remember that you are the proudest disciple of the teacher in his life. The Black Sea is your home at any time, and the teacher welcomes you home at any time.
.”
"Well, thank you, teacher."
When Raymond heard this, he didn't feel sad.
When my soul travels to another world, I always feel like a stranger in a foreign land, and I never have that sense of belonging to home.
It wasn't until he met Irene, Anna, Aldrich, and Eriksson... that he felt that the world was slowly accepting him, and he was slowly integrating into the world.
The teacher, the confidante, and the genuine care made him feel the kindness of this strange world.
If I hadn't returned to the Black Sea by accident this time, I might never have been able to see this kind old man again in this life.
next time?
perhaps...
Maybe there will be a next time.
...
Aldrich has lived to this age and has a clearer view of many things than Raymond. He wiped the warm tears from the corners of his eyes and suddenly laughed heartily.
He patted Raymond on the shoulder and said: "Don't think about so many unhappy things! It's a rare reunion for our master and apprentice today, so we must have a drink! We won't come back until we get drunk..."
After a pause, the old man was finally able to put down his serious expression and said, "Let's go to the Musketeers and Roses Tavern! It's the one you opened when you were in the capital..."
When Raymond heard these words, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If he remembered correctly, the "Guns and Roses Tavern" was a famous adult tavern in Tianlan King's capital.
This old man...his heart never grows old.
Unfortunately, before the door could be opened, there was a complaint outside the house.
"Aldrich, you bad old man, what do you want to drink in broad daylight?"
An old man with a red beard came in. He had no intention of knocking politely and pushed open the door of Aldrich's office angrily.
This was obviously an old acquaintance, Aldrich's senior brother, Boggs Knox.
Boggs frowned angrily. He just wanted to put an end to Aldrich's delusion of "promising sex in the daytime". He also wanted to see who instigated his junior brother, who was no longer in good health, to drink alcohol in broad daylight...
But when he saw it, he was stunned.
I thought he was an old guy with "no eyesight", but I didn't expect him to be a young man.
Seeing Boggs's expression of disbelief, Raymond took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Boggs, it's nice to see you again."
"you..."
Boggs also had a ghostly expression on his face, "You...are you Raymond?"
Raymond was used to everyone's shocked expressions and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Boggs."
Upon hearing the confirmation, Boggs' eyes also lit up, and he became slightly short of breath.
The old guy Aldrich often talks about his genius disciple in his ears, and his ears are almost ringing. Not only that, in the old guy's bedroom, the newspaper with Raymond's latest reward is printed, and it is also framed.
Get up and you can see it as soon as you enter the door.
Now seeing the legendary "Eight Endless Emperors" disrespectful, can it not make people excited?
Boggs didn't know what to say, so he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Um...I heard you guys are going to drink? Do you mind taking me, an old guy, with you?"
"Hahaha..."
Aldrich laughed loudly and deliberately said: "Humph! My apprentice and I are reminiscing about old times, why are you, an old man, so blindly getting involved?"
Not to be outdone, Boggs said: "Speaking of which, Raymond should also call me uncle. If I invite my nephew to drink, will it bother you, an old guy?"
Seeing that the two old men were about to start a quarrel, Raymond smiled and interrupted: "Senior Boggs, let's talk about drinking later. Now that you are here, I also have something serious to say."
"Oh? Real business?"
After hearing what Raymond said, the two old men suddenly stopped making trouble and their expressions became very cautious.
It's definitely not easy to get this "big man" to say he's serious.
...
At this time, Raymond didn't hesitate, raised his hand and placed the more than ten boxes stored in the package on the floor of the office.
He pointed at the box and said: "These things... were found when I salvaged the sunken ship based on the [Golden Compass] passed down by your family, Senior Boggs..."
"ah?!!!"
When Boggs and Aldrich heard this, their eyes widened immediately.
They looked at these dozen boxes again and immediately became very excited.
The [Golden Compass] originally recorded the location of the ship where my ancestor was shipwrecked. Was it really found?
"In this box, could it be..."
Boggs wanted to speak, but found that he was too excited to say a word.
Raymond said what the two of them were looking forward to the most, "Yes, this is the [Potion Knowledge Secret Codex] handbook left by the ten-star potion master 'Igris Centia'
Original, well preserved..."
After a pause, he turned to say: "Now the 'Potion Master's Union' in the Endless Sea has been controlled by the World Government. It is no longer a holy place for extraordinary people, and it can no longer bring hope to mankind...
"
After believing in "justice", the extraordinary beings trained by the Potion Masters Guild can only be nothing more than lackeys of the evil god.
"Here are some magic potion formulas that I have improved and derived. If someone can meet the advanced conditions in the future, I hope these formulas can be passed down..."
"There are also these other formulas and potion resources that I have collected..."
As he said this, Raymond didn't stop holding his hand.
One by one, items that can be regarded as the treasures of a potion master were brought out and placed throughout the office.
Not to mention this small black sea, even in the endless sea, taking these things out will attract countless top powerhouses to fight for their lives.
These are "priceless treasures"!
Looking at the room full of treasures, Aldrich and Boggs' excitement became calmer and calmer. Instead, they looked at Raymond with shocked faces and puzzled eyes: "Raymond, what are you...?"
No matter how you look at it, it seems like you are explaining the funeral arrangements!
Is it so dangerous for Raymond to go?
"If I fail..."
There was not much sadness on Raymond's face, but there was a fearless perseverance in his eyes.
He looked at the two old men and said in a sincere tone: "If I fail... I hope to leave these things to you two to pass on. I also want to leave some hope to the potion world and human civilization."
Some hope..."
Hearing this, the two old men looked at each other, their eyes trembling with light.
