Chapter 129: White Lotus
As expected by David and his father and son beforehand, with that ‘two year old’ visa slip from Atilicia, the High Elf in charge of reviewing the process at the city hall just looked expressionlessly at the silver dragon son behind him who couldn’t stop looking around, even the question and answer process of the entry face-to-face interview was saved, and just routinely reminded him with a sentence:
“Mrs. Antonella, please restrain your overly active son, don’t scare the other guests, and it’s best not to stick to vicious crimes, otherwise we have the right to withdraw your family’s qualification to enter the country for temporary residence, this is your approval slip, please keep it in your own possession.”
With that, David’s Silver Dragon family got a temporary residence permit from Devonshire.
From today onwards, they were legal immigrants who were protected by the laws of both Dragon Island and Derwentzel.
With this explicit legal identity, the matter of Atilicia bringing Tanya to school and applying for the job of alchemy teacher also became extremely simple.
After all, although the high elves treated foreigners with arrogance, no, they treated all non-high elf creatures with arrogance, but a person from Dragon Island who was willing to come to the magic academy to be a ‘foreign teacher’, this kind of thing that could attract more students’ families to shell out extra money, was a temptation that the time-honored Dwensel magic academy couldn’t refuse.
Attilicia also tried to get David into the academy together to facilitate the education of her son, so as to prevent David from wandering around Devonshire alone with a red dragon and getting into trouble.
But this unprecedented precedent was rightfully rejected by the Academy’s senior management.
Even if the silver dragon is mostly good natured, but a dragon is in the most energetic in the dragon life, can let the silver dragon parents are worried about bald dragon island silver gradual layer, even if it is the Devonshire magic academy does not dare to easily put it in.
For this reason back home complaining about this matter Atilicia was also David ridiculed a bit.
As a traveler, he did not have the leisure to go to school again, but at most he had some interest in visiting.
That is, Artilicia did not succeed, otherwise after the freshness of the moment, he probably would have to start staging Devonshire’s magical version of the ‘Runaway Dragon’.
Seeing that everything was implemented according to the plan, Atilicia, who was still somewhat depressed, obviously recovered some of the elegance of his previous days as a Master Alchemist.
Next, as long as they waited for David’s group of subordinates to gather all the materials and equipment, they could officially ‘start’.
However, as the date for the maturity of the Hundred Years Incense Seeds approached, the three elves who escorted the High Elf prisoners of war back to the New Continent, led by Shyatt, did not even see the shadow of their ship!
Otherwise, this kind of major event that was destined to stir up Devonshire and even the entire High Elf Kingdom would not have been so quiet, and there would not have been even a single voice of discussion in the streets and alleys.
As soon as he thought of the dark storm cloud that they had avoided by steering and sailing when they arrived, Attilicia, who had a better understanding of the northern sky and even the ocean currents, immediately had some kind of bad premonition, and suddenly twisted her head towards the equally perplexed Davey and said:
“Do you think there is a possibility that they also encountered that storm, and then were blown to the south by the storm winds and the extreme northern ocean currents?”
“. It’s quite possible.” David echoed rather breathlessly.
Not to mention yawing, it wasn’t impossible for the entire ship to capsize if they were unlucky.
David wasn’t worried about the safety of Hiatt and the others:
Ever since she sank her ship, this Zor-El has never left her body when she goes out to sea.
The only thing David couldn’t understand was how far off course they had to be before they couldn’t even contact the Soul Prism.
At this point, it would have been nice if Hiatus or Evgeni had an elf by their side.
Their souls were like quantum entanglement, and nowadays their ‘telepathy’ was much more reliable than a piece of soul prism, and they could communicate without any problem across the continent.
“What can we do then?”
Ever since that night when she deeply realized how ‘poor’ she really was, Attilicia’s mind was only focused on getting money!
A child could suffer for a while, but one couldn’t be poor enough to have poor parents!
He really couldn’t bear the thought of his parents, who also hadn’t been adults for many years, carrying a heavy debt for him, an unfilial son, at such a young age.
Besides, his own son is now much richer than his old man!
David spread his paws, “What else can I do? Do it yourself, don’t you just get some seeds?”
This thing is much better than the original hundred years of incense pollen, right?
After all, it was known that the 100 year old flower powder could synthesize [Sobering Potion] or [Anger Combination], but no one knew that the matured seeds could be used as a substitute nowadays!
If this point was publicized, it would be enough to create a sensation in the entire New Continent.
From here, the value of Atilicia as the developer of the [Sobering Potion] and even a Master Alchemist could be realized.
Knowledge not only changed fate, it was also worth a thousand words!
“Huh? We’ll do it ourselves?” As soon as she heard ‘we have to do it on our own’, Atilicia immediately backed off a bit. Davey got angry at the wimpy look on his old father’s face and pointed at himself with the tip of his tail:
“It’s not us, it’s me! Forget what we agreed before? You’re in charge of production, I’ll do the rest.”
“And how are you going to come?” Artilicia asked out of instinct.
“How else could it come? Can we still wait for the seed to fall from the sky? Find it and bring it, of course.”
David said it as a matter of course, just like picking it up directly from the field, but Atilicia was shocked:
“You are planning to rob in the open?”
“Otherwise?” David looked at his old silver dragon father with the eyes of an idiot?
Taking something that doesn’t belong to you, what else could it be but robbery?
“No, no, no, no! Absolutely not!” Attilicia had originally thought that her son could come up with some perfect plan!
It turned out to be Nima! He almost couldn’t catch his breath.
This wasn’t the Spectral Region where one could run amok, it was Devensel!
He could simply imagine that if he indulged his own son in his actions, he was afraid that he would see a wanted notice about him on the front page of Devensel tomorrow morning!
Although it was most likely to be published in the newspaper in the image of the red dragon Daviyutos, but this coming up with such a big game, it was also too exciting!
In addition to taking some benefits and doing some smooth ‘various commissions’, he, Attilicia, had never done such a thing in his life that was obviously swimming madly naked at the edge of the net of the law, ah!
“This is not good, that is not good, then you come up with a charter.” David lost his patience at once.
Facing her son whose temper was gradually red dragon reddening, Attilicia was also a bit frantic for a while:
“Let me think, wait for me! Wait for me!”
Then as if remembering something, she slapped her head and grabbed the door.
Just when Davey’s patience was at an end and he was ready to go out and do something big, poof, the Silver Dragon’s old man who had come back from a round of poking around for news reached out and swept away everything on the desk with one hand, spreading out the map of Devonshire, and panting, he turned to Davey and said:
“I got the news, tomorrow morning, the last batch of this year’s ripe Centennial Fragrance seeds will be transported back to Dwensel’s main warehouse from Delta Manor outside the city.”
As he said that, he used a feather quill to make conspicuous circles on each of an estate outside the city and the western city gate of Devensel, and drew a line on the path it must take, looking at the somewhat confused David, he said:
“We just have to find a way to ‘take’ no more than 3% of each vehicle in the process, and we’ll never be discovered.”
“How do you know so clearly?” David was suddenly a bit impressed with this Silver Dragon old man of his.
Attilicia thought that Davy had asked him how he had poked around so clearly, and immediately somewhat dared not look at his son’s eyes, and left to speak:
“Isn’t this the kind of information that can be pried out by casually chatting with the guards?”
David also finally reacted.
Crap! This old, unashamed guy was actually using his status as ‘Mrs. Antonella’ to lure, ah shucks! Using charm to lure!
But that’s not the point:
“I mean, how do you know the High Elves won’t find out if we take some of it?”
Given the High Elves’ character, they might be arrogant, but they shouldn’t be so negligent! Especially why it’s a number as precise as no more than 3%.
Wait, he seemed to remember something.
As a result, he heard the long-sighing Attilicia explain with a bit of a blush:
“Hundred years incense mature seeds are actually the same as pollen, no matter in the picking or in the transportation process, there will be a certain chance of generating a magical reaction and turning into a waste seed, so the entire transportation process from top to bottom will be up and down a bit when sieving out . To subsidize the household or take it for research use, so as long as it doesn’t exceed this share, they will at most secretly curse whoever took a little more, but not so much that they will take it out and make a statement.”
“. Fuck,” what else could David, who was his son, say?
He also finally knew that this thick-browed, winky-eyed guy, the Centennial Fragrance Seed that was used to experiment with synthesizing the [Sobering Potion] in the first place .
How did it come about!
Marder! All greedy into this kind of blue.
Usually, he still pretends to be like a white lotus flower with him!
David secretly despised.
