Chapter 315: Wooing and Not Fighting
"Soul Rejuvenation Elixir, fortunately I saw this thing in the long river of history, otherwise this Ottore XI would not be able to escape the control of the Soul Control Elixir." If the soul control potion is not removed, the residual poisonous blood will continue to attack the heart, and then pour into the limbs and hundreds of corpses with the circulation of blood, achieving the effect of control. Raphael was holding a dark green medicine bottle in his hand at the moment, and judging from its appearance, this thing definitely didn't look like a healing potion, but rather like a poison.
Raphael made twenty bottles and left himself ten bottles in case he needed them, and this is the benefit of the alchemist apothecary. If you have more materials than you can do, you will be able to transform them into finished products in your hands. And it's not included in the payroll, it's just a tip you earn for yourself.
This is still Raphael's heart is not black, otherwise judging from the illness of Ottore XI, three bottles of soul rejuvenation potion are more than enough, and he can leave seven more bottles for himself. But leave a line in front of people, and see each other in the future. Ten bottles of Soul Rejuvenation Elixir can already cope with many things, and it can be regarded as a gift to Dybala Ottore for his car.
said that he saved Ottore XI this time, and I don't know if he will tamper with the path of the Ottore Empire that was originally going to be destroyed. I don't count it
"Mr. Raphael, is it done?" Outside the room where the potions were dispensing, Rupert Ottore paced back and forth, and when he saw Raphael come out of it, he hurried up with a quick step.
"Well, these ten bottles of potion are enough to heal Your Majesty." Raphael took out the tray and said with great certainty. Although it was also the first time for him to concoct a Soul Rejuvenation Elixir, with his experience in potions, this level of potion would not make him mistake.
"Great, Mr. Raphael. You are the benefactor of our Ottore royal family! Rupert Ottore cautiously took the potion from Raphael's hand. Under the light of the magic lamp, the potion glows with a little light, and there seem to be small dark green snakes swimming in it, which makes people feel amazing.
"It's a beautiful potion." Rupert Ottore's words made Raphael a little embarrassed, no matter how you look at this thing, it doesn't have anything to do with good looks. But for Rupert Ottore, this potion that could save Ottore XI, no matter how ugly it was, could be related to countless beautiful adjectives.
"This potion should be taken with a sweetheart egg, and I estimate that three bottles can completely dissolve the effect of the soul-controlling potion."
Raphael saw Rupert Ottore's expression of wanting to speak, and knew that the other party wanted to ask him because of Adonis.
"If Your Highness wants to ask me something, it's okay to say it." Raphael had already thought of the words when he was mixing the potion, and there were too many people who had heard Adonis's words, especially when it came to such a sensitive word as His Highness, and if he couldn't give Rupert Ottore a good explanation, it would be troublesome.
He also knew that his performance in the hall made many nobles suspicious of him, but these guys undoubtedly needed to weigh their own strength if they wanted to solve themselves. The most important thing at this moment is to have a good relationship with Rupert Ottore, if you can really become the lord of Bartholomew City, then you don't have to worry about the small actions of these nobles against you.
"Since Mr. Raphael is so open-minded, I will not ask about these things in a roundabout way. I wonder what Mr. Raphael has to do with the members of the Dark Hand, and what is the matter with His Highness? Rupert Ottore did as he said, and asked directly the doubts in his heart.
"I once secretly sabotaged an operation of the Dark Hand in Bartholomew, and the leader was afraid that he would be remembered by the other party at that time. As for the name of His Royal Highness, I guess the other party wants to drive a wedge between me and the royal family of Ottore. The members of the Dark Hand have always been particularly fond of doing this kind of thing. ”
Nonsense, full of nonsense. However, these things are simply not elaborate, prophecy magicians can't explore things that far, as for finding the followers of Safras, the god of prophecy, to investigate this kind of thing? Unless Safras, the god of prophecy, dislikes that his life is not long enough and wants to provoke Bane, the god of tyranny, then his followers can give it a try......
Therefore, Raphael showed his Oscar-winning qualities, calm, steady, and did not feel any discomfort at all because he was lying. As the saying goes, if you want to fool others, you must first fool yourself. Raphael undoubtedly did it, and it was not for Rupert Ottore not to believe it in such an incomprehensible statement.
Moreover, what Raphael said was very methodical and reasonable, and the bad reputation of the Dark Hand undoubtedly helped Raphael a lot at this moment.
"I see, I'm sorry, Mr. Raphael. Because I doubted you about it. Rupert Ottore apologized to Raphael very sincerely, and did not lose his son at all because he was a prince.
"It's okay, if it were someone else, maybe they would have arrested me a long time ago, but there wouldn't be such a polite question." Raphael brings the topic to life with a touch of humor.
"Haha...... Then I'll go and treat Your Majesty first. Squire, take Mr. Raphael to rest. After Rupert Ottore finished speaking, he left the place in a hurry without waiting for Raphael to respond.
"Lord Raphael, please come with me." The two attendants walked to Raphael's side and said respectfully, their subordinates know how to observe words and feelings, and when they saw that Rupert Ottore was so polite to Raphael, they naturally put their attitude to the lowest, and they almost knelt down and licked it directly.
Walking through the corridors, Raphael casually looked around, and the royal palace of Ottore was not magnificent, nor was it as luxurious as he had seen it in Warner. However, it looks very chic, with flowing water in the garden and high-rise terraces. And you can see the architecture and some scenery of the Ottore Empire. It can be said that with a ticket to an attraction, you can enjoy the unique beauty of the whole country.
"Lord Raphael, call us if you have any orders." The attendants led him into a huge room, more of a palace than a room.
"Well, I'm going to write a letter now, and I'll have to ask you to help me make a trip." Raphael said, just in front of a desk to write, I'm afraid I'm going to stay in the palace these days, it is necessary to tell little Lori that they are safe. Thinking that what happened in the palace would cause a big storm in Bloomerta, he also told Dalena that they should be careful recently, although I don't think those guys dare to make a move in Orlando Academy, but the hand of darkness is always unimaginable, and it has to be guarded against.
The attendants were flattered in the face of Raphael's politeness, they were usually careful people, how could they think of being thanked, so when they received Raphael's letter, they swore that the mission would be fulfilled and left the place quickly.
Raphael is also completely relieved at the moment, after this time, his power will have a great leap. He was now thinking about what he should do in the next few days, and with this in mind, he took out another piece of parchment and drew a quick picture.
"The improvement of divine power is necessary, the development of the territory cannot be left behind, and the development of the Black Flag Pirate Regiment also needs continuous attention, but from the information from Azhara, it seems that the forces under the sea are developing rapidly, which is not bad......" As soon as he listed it, Raphael found that he needed to do a lot.
……
Two days later, Raphael met him in the chambers of Ottore XI, where he had fully recovered his spirit and strength under the treatment of the Soul Rejuvenation Potion, giving him the impression of old age and strength.
"You are better than your father, and if your father knew what you have achieved now, he would be proud of you." Ottore XI did not skimp on his boasting.
"Your Majesty, what do you know about my father?" Although Raphael didn't have much affection for this cheap father, the emotional influence from 'Raphael' in his subconscious made him can't help but ask this sentence.
"Your father? He must be a chivalrous man. When we first wanted to meet, he saved me at the hands of the orcs, and was mortally wounded. At that time, he didn't know who I was, and even if he did, he didn't treat me as respectfully as everyone else, which is really similar to you. Because of this, we became friends who talked about everything. Ottore XI said these words with a sense of nostalgia, apparently considering Max Abraham as his confidant and friend.
"But then, your father left a letter and quietly left, and when I saw you that day, it was as if I had seen your father appear to me, and I thought I was dreaming. I didn't think that your father had saved my life. Now, you've saved my life again, and the trajectory of fate is strikingly similar. Ottore XI patted his hand lightly, looking very happy.
"Especially when your father also became the winner of the Lion King Celebration without the slightest backhand to suppress others, I can only say that you are really worthy of being father and son."
It is not difficult to understand why Max Abraham has the Sword of Fury in the words of Ottore XI, but it seems that what Ottore XI has learned is only a small fragment, and it seems that it is impossible to fully understand Max Abraham from him.
Originally, he wanted to see if Ottore XI knew the message of his mother Angelina, but from these words of Ottore XI, it should be impossible to get any useful information from them.
"The status of a viscount is really not worthy of your ability, and I hereby canonize you as the Marquis of the Ottore Empire, and divide the city of Bartholomew into your direct domain." Ottore XI's move, even Rupert Ottore, who was standing on the side, was a little shocked, as soon as his father made a move, he knew if there was one, this reward was too great. If it weren't for the fact that Ottore XI was in his right mind, he wondered if Raphael had secretly added something else to the potion.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Which is better, the lord or the direct domain? Naturally, it is a direct territory, although these lands still nominally belong to the royal family of Ottore, but Raphael has complete autonomy, and the formulation of laws and the establishment of the army will be in Raphael's hands. In other words, as long as Raphael signs a land deed with the Ottore royal family, then this land is considered Raphael's own, and unless Raphael leaves the Ottore Empire one day, this land will be passed on in the hands of the Abraham family.
"The merits that your father did not receive at the beginning are nothing if you count your performance, my two lives, and such a reward." Ottore XI waved his hand, so that Raphael did not need such politeness. "As for the rewards of the Lion King's Celebration, they will be distributed to you tomorrow along with these rewards."
Hearing this, Raphael bowed his head slightly and retreated.
After a long time, Ottore XI turned his head to look at his son on the side, "If there is anything you want to say, say it." ”
"Father, isn't your decision too hasty?" Rupert Ottore really didn't understand why Ottore XI would put out such a big chip, in his opinion, a position of city lord was enough.
"So, the gap between you and your big brother is here. If he were here, he would have agreed with my decision, and would have felt that my reward was still less. Ottore XI shook his head slightly, and there was a smell of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.
"Please ask my father for advice." Rupert Ottore was not displeased by Ottore XI's straightforward words, and bowed his head very humbly.
"First of all, young. What does youth represent? It represents the infinite possibilities of the future! Have you forgotten that your eldest brother said in his letter that he was already a sixth-order magician? Besides, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can tell from your description that this son is not just a theoretical magician. Ottore XI, who said these words, also had a kind of amazement in his eyes, if this son was born in their Ottore royal family, then their Ottore Empire would be able to stabilize for hundreds of years without falling, and this is the benefit that an excellent heir brings to the entire family.
"Doesn't a powerful magician who knows how to fight need us to woo him? And what does it mean that you just noticed his performance and didn't rejoice in the slightest that I gave him Bartholomew City? It shows that he still has a lot of hole cards that have not been opened! Therefore, your eldest brother did the right thing, wooing and not making enemies. "But for his eldest son, Ottore XI didn't have much to find fault with. No matter how good other people's children are, they are not as reliable as their own children.
