Heidein Manor.

Sunlight shines on the green meadows, adding to the natural beauty.

On a path between the meadows, Grant was at the front, followed by Heidein, Ivy, and Owen.

They kept going until they came to an attic after a bypass. It's just that when I walked a short distance to the front of the attic, I saw a large gray-white sharp stone in front of me, and the surface was smeared with a strange viscous liquid, full of a pungent smell.

When Grant saw the stone, his body paused slightly, and he quickly turned around and apologized to Owen and Ivy, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry about this matter, I've been exercising my physical strength and the alchemy of controlling stones before." I didn't expect the two of you to arrive, so I forgot to take the stones. Wait here now, and I'll take the stone at once. ”

"This gentleman, why don't I come with you, the two of you should be lighter after all." Owen had a gloomy face, and when he saw the stone in front of him, his face was full of doubts and puzzles, but his years of gentlemanly cultivation made him see this situation, and he still had to be polite.

He saw that the stones were more than a meter wide and more than two meters high, and they were made of metal, and they were estimated to weigh nearly a thousand kilograms. A stone of this weight is unlikely to be lifted even by an alchemist.

Although he doesn't like to do this kind of rough work, he is still testing his bottom at present.

"No, no, I'll just come by myself, this stone is not very heavy, and one person can lift it. If Mr. Owen feels that he needs to be polite, he might as well bring it up himself. Grant smiled leisurely and turned his head and stretched out his hand to Owen in a gesture of please.

Owen's heart sank, and his face became a little difficult to look at. The corners of his mouth twitched, "Are you kidding?" How do you think an ordinary alchemist can lift such a thing? If you think it's a kind of joke, I think my daughter and I should go home first. Heidein. This friend of yours is really arrogant, and I think you'd better not associate too much with this kind of person. lest if you don't learn anything, you will brag. ”

He is the mayor of Smokescreen Town, a mid-level alchemist, and even if he is polite to people, he has his own dignity. At the moment, Grant is deliberately squeezing himself, if he continues to endure humility like this, he is estimated to be angry.

"Hehe, I said Mr. Owen, how do you think you can lift this thing without an alchemist? I don't think he's too heavy. It must be that if you can't lift it yourself, you can't recognize it. Grant laughed.

The matter of the Law Enforcement Guard. It was clear that Owen was behind his back, and Grant naturally didn't need to be so polite to him.

"Hmph, I've never seen an alchemist who can lift such a stone, how much do you think he can lift it. Even if he can lift it, he can only look like the alchemist of the royal department. ”

"What if I lift it up, do you think so?" As soon as Grant was obedient, he smiled at the interface.

"This?" Owen hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and at the same time looked at Grant with a shocked gaze. He knew very well that since the other party spoke like this, it meant that there was a certain possibility. If you really lift this thing, it means that the other party is stronger than you, and it is very likely to hit yourself in the face.

Just as Owen didn't know how to answer, Heideyin also knew that the atmosphere on the court was very awkward. If you don't find a way to alleviate the oppressive situation here, it will be a real trouble.

Heidein knew that Owen had sent someone to kill him. But after all, it is Ivy's father, as long as the other party doesn't go too far, he can still tolerate it. At most, you will have less contact in the future, and at the same time improve your own strength.

He stepped forward. deliberately persuaded the fight, and said with a smile: "Everyone goes in and drinks water together." Have a meal and don't waste time here. ”

Heidein turned to Grant and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Grant is sorry for the rest. ”

As early as when Owen arrived, Grant had already told Heidein all of his instructions, especially the part in front of him. In Grant's plan, this is to make Owen clear how powerful he is and how much benefit he can bring him.

He knows very well that people like Owen are based on interests, and as long as the interests reach the point where he is tempted, the rest of the matter will be completely natural and quite easy to handle.

"Haha, since Heideyin is talking, then let's not talk about these things anymore, I'll raise it first." Grant agrees with this decision as in the script.

On the contrary, Owen squinted his eyes, his half-squinted eyes were full of cold light, and he suspected that these guys were deliberately using this method to humiliate and scare themselves, and if they really fell for it, they would definitely be fools.

He was still hesitating, but heard Hedeyn intervene to dissuade him, and Grant cooperated quite well. This made his expression shake slightly.

Owen thought that the other party said this at least half of the time to rise, but when he heard that this guy Heideyin had come to be the deputy three or four times in a row, he wanted to make the two sides compromise. I have a grudge against him, I really don't believe that Heideyin doesn't know that he sent Bieber to secretly hunt him down, how can he help himself in this situation, so this matter is deliberate, wanting to lose face.

Owen sneered in his heart: "Heideyin, you are really too young. How could I not guess such a simple logical event speculation. Since you want me to be defeated from this battle, I might as well let you get my wish, but I'll see if the alchemist in front of me can lift the stone. ”

"No, I'm still curious, since Mr. Grant can lift such a stone, why don't you let me open my eyes." Owen opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

A stunned look appeared on Heidein's face, and he looked at Owen in a daze.

He forgot to move at this time.

In the world, how can there be people who give shame to face. If it weren't for Ivy being here, Hedein would really want Owen to lose face. As a result, I didn't expect that I wanted to dissuade him with good intentions, but people still didn't believe him.

At this moment, Heideyin simply did not speak, and muffled unhappily.

Owen noticed the unhappy look on his face and thought to himself that he must have made the right bet. Hedin didn't see that she had been fooled, so she was very upset. Finding these cats, Owen guessed that the other party would not be able to lift it nine times out of ten.

Grant's own plans. also intended to save a little face for the other party, but the other party refused at this time. Time. The movements in his hands were somewhat hesitant. It's good that he didn't move, this move had already made Owen sit on Grant's idea that he couldn't lift it.

His eyes rolled. Thinking of the previous deflated incident, the corners of his mouth outlined an imperceptible sneer: "Mr. Grant, you better hurry up." In that case, if you can help me, I'm willing to give you five hundred gold coins. ”

In Smokescreen Town, two hundred gold coins is already Owen's salary for more than half a year, and if it weren't for his previous grievances, he would be reluctant to take it out.

Grant saw the other party one after another, and then pushed himself again. As a fifth-order mage, he was naturally not very polite, and he also laughed loudly: "I'm afraid that others won't dare to give it to me, since you have already spoken, and your daughter is also here, I think you should give it." So let's see how I lift it up. ”

He walked over to the middle of the stones, clenched his right hand into a fist, and slammed forward.

Boom!!

A few small pebbles broke in the middle of the stone, and then the stone was deeply embedded in it, and it seemed to be estimated to be half a meter deep.

Grant raised his right hand. Lift the stone directly twenty centimeters from the ground, and then smile, walk up to Owen very easily, and boom. The stone fell to the ground, smashing out four or five cracks.

"I'm sorry, but this stone is really light. I think Mr. Owen is a well-known alchemist. is still the mayor of Smokescreen Town, and he should have a few hundred gold coins as a bet. Grant smiled sarcastically. The two eyes seemed to be looking at a clown.

Hedeyin gave him face, and this man was good. I didn't appreciate it.

"Uh......" Owen froze in place.

Soon, Owen's face was blue and red, and there was annoyance in the depths of his eyes, but more of a surprise. He didn't expect that an alchemist would be able to lift such a large stone with the strength of his body, and then this alchemist would be at least many times stronger than himself.

He wanted to challenge the other party, but at this time, it was like a leaky ball, and he was not in the mood to fight.

He took a deep breath and gathered all the angry expressions on his face into his heart, but at this time he had a smile and an elegant expression: "I, Owen, have always been a good talker, four hundred gold coins, and when I return to the manor, I will definitely call someone to send it over." I just don't know if Mr. Grant believes me or not. ”

"As the mayor of the town, you will definitely be able to accomplish it if you speak out."

"Hehe, in that case, let's go in first."

Owen seemed to have forgotten the shame just now, and his half-squinted eyes were still full of joy.

He knew very well that this kind of strength meant that his companions were also not bad, they should all have similar strength, and a fifth-order mage who was several times stronger than himself would be a big help if he did it well. Especially such an alchemist, the background behind it is very large.

What's wrong with being able to get in touch with them and lose a little face? Even if you don't have face to lose.

Owen knows that the key to success or insuccess is how Grant and his companions view Hedeyn, and if they value it very much, they may not be able to let Ivy marry him. If not, you have to give up. The shame in front of him can only be vented on Heidein's body.

"Let's go."

Grant walked at the front, swayed forward, and entered the attic hall.

Heideyn and Owen also followed.

Ivy, who had been at the back, with a puzzled face on her face, also had a sudden look at her at this time, and her eyes that looked at Owen quietly became cold. I thought that my father's attitude should change with it, but now it doesn't seem to be at all. I came here to get acquainted with this powerful alchemist in front of me.

What are you just calling yourself for? Is it to let yourself know the alchemist in front of you? It seems unlikely, but he kissed Heidein just now, and Grant didn't react at all. Then it can only be that Heidean knows Grant, and then he wants to help Heidein.

Thinking of this possibility, Ivy's face jumped with joy. Looking at Hedin's gaze also softened, being able to know an alchemist like Grant naturally couldn't be the other party's initiative to make friends.

Ivy guessed that it was probably because of something important or even that Heidein took out some family heirlooms and gave them to Grant in front of him. The deal between them is to help him marry himself. Thinking of so many things, Ivy couldn't help but be moved, and the softness in the deepest part of her heart seemed to be touched.

"Heidein!" Ivy whispered, her soft, boneless palm close to Heidein's hand.

Heideyin's body stiffened, looking at Ivy's tender spring eyes, and a happy expression appeared on her face.

Of course, if he knew that Ivy had made up a lot of plots in his brain, he would also know what kind of situation would be revealed.

At the same time, I have to say that a woman's brain replenishment ability is sufficient.

In the attic hall, the floor is covered with a red carpet, and a huge golden sword is painted in the middle.

On all four walls are a painting and a large redstone pillar that stands up.

In the middle there is a long table, soft sofas surrounded on all sides, a fireplace near the wall, and a bookshelf.

Straight up, there is a large white crystal chandelier.

Four alchemists, dressed in black robes, sat around laughing as if they were talking about something of interest.

Owen stood in the middle, seeing their special temperament, and vaguely guessed in his heart that they were definitely not ordinary alchemists.

"Grant, you're bringing a guest." An old man with bare feet and gray hair raised his hand and said with a smile.

"yes, it's right behind." Grant smiled and pointed behind him.

"Hello, I'm Owen, Mayor of Smokescreen." Owen stepped forward and introduced himself first. He himself attaches great importance to gentlemanly etiquette, and it is not simple to see the other party this time, so the series of actions he makes are simply impeccable. Even Heidein felt that the other party was indeed perfect in these aspects.

"Hello, sit down first."

"Seats here, come on, sit here."

"Sit here."

The attitudes of Master Ku, Ha Ming, Rose and others are not bad. They knew that this was also just a favor to Heidein, after all, they might have promised something before.

As the strongest in the Nightmare Frontier, if they deceived a young guy who was equivalent to a first-order mage, it would be enough to disgrace their old face.

Grant saw that those fifth-order mages didn't take the slightest bit of a stand, and he was a little satisfied in his heart.

He turned to the door and said to Heydeyn, "Hurry up and get some snacks and some nice drinks, well, and a few other things at the end." ”

"Yes. I'll go. Hedwin nodded smartly, and walked happily to the door, which led to the kitchen to the right. Ivy saw that Heideyin was running to get busy, so naturally she was not idle.

When Grant saw the way they looked, he just smiled and didn't say much.

"Mr. Grant, let's have a chat." Owen was so courteous that he greeted Grant. (To be continued......)
