Luke said to Alina, "Alina. I heard you call Faras my sister, I wonder if you would like to call me father like Faras?"

When Faras heard her father's words, she hurriedly helped Alina and said, "Well, Alina will be my sister in the future, you have to care more about others." ”

Alina clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay." I've been a person since I was a child, and if I can have a father, I will laugh happily in my dreams. ”

Luke took out a pair of green bracelets from his bosom, gave one to Faras, and the other to Alina, and said to them, "This bracelet was given to a friend of mine." Although it is not a very precious thing, but it is rare that the two carvings are exactly the same, and now you can bring one with you, and you will love each other in the future, like sisters. ”

Alina happily put on the bracelet, and then she helped Farass put it on as well. The turquoise bracelets reflect each other on the snow-white arms, making them even more dazzling.

Faras pulled Alina to her feet, and the two raised the crystal glasses and toasted Luke together. Luke drank the glass with a smile on his face and laughed happily.

Alina couldn't help but say, "From today on, I am not alone, I also have a father and a sister. ”

When everyone was seated, Luke raised his glass and said to Elendo, "Young man, I have a wish in my life, that is, I hope to be born 200 years early, to be a small soldier in the battle against the undead army. It's a pity that this can only be a wish. However, I have great admiration for the Great Druid Elder who sacrificed his life to save all mankind, and it can be said that without the sacrifice of that year, there would be no quiet and peaceful life on the mainland for 200 years. Young man, let us toast this glass of wine to the great and selfless Great Druid Elder. ”

With that, Luke threw his neck up and drank the wine.

Alendor stood up as early as Luke was talking to him when he took it, and he was very happy to hear Luke's admiration for the deeds of the druids back then, and hurriedly said: "The druid's creed is to maintain the balance of nature, which is just what we should do." Then Alendor drank the wine as well.

Luke looked at Ryan, sighed lightly, and said, "Ryan, what are you asking me to say about you? Although you are not very old, you have the maturity unique to adults, you are steady, and you have a strong spirit of not admitting defeat. It's rare to see young people like you now. ”

Hearing Luke boast about himself, Ryan said embarrassedly, "You won the prize." ”

Luke smiled and said, "Ryan, I heard Faraz say that the rite of passage that your teacher gave you was to participate in the Royal Athletic Tournament?"

Ryan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"I'm going to say one more thing here, and if I'm not mistaken, your teacher's intention was to hope that you would learn something from your participation in the Atlético Royale, rather than just win an honor." The biggest advantage of young people is that they have time, while the disadvantage of young people in general is their lack of experience. As a last resort, people have to exchange time for experience, but unfortunately, by the time they are experienced, they are already old. ”

At this point, Luke paused, his eyes wandered around everyone, and then his gaze returned to Ryan's face, and he continued: "The entire Lace team, in terms of profession and strength, is a promising adventure team, or because of this, there is a faint shadow of a thirst for victory and honor in everyone's hearts. A team that is hungry to win is strong, but also be aware that generally you really get what you crave, but you will feel lost. Maybe I should say this when you win the championship, but I have my intention in saying it today. ”

"Whether it's victory or honor, learn to enjoy the process, not the result. If you were to be awarded the title of Atlético Royal Champion now, you would have received an honor, but do you have a sense of honor? No!"

"Why, isn't this title what everyone is looking for? People grow because of the process and mature because of the experience. This process is eternal and unchanging, except that the great sages took a short time, while the mediocre people spent their whole lives. ”

"Had a few more drinks today. There was a drunken look in Luke's eyes, and he said slowly, "I have said a lot, I hope you don't think I'm verbose." The Royal Knights have won 20 championships in a row, but they have put 20 heavy shackles on their backs, and in order to keep this so-called honor, even Orlando, a military genius, has to painstakingly train one team after another to compete. It's ironic that the Royal Knights, who were supposed to be heavy cavalry in large-scale operations, have now become the champions of squad battles!"

Farass stood up gently, hugged her father, and said, "Father, you are drunk." With that, Faras motioned for the servant next to him to help Luke away.

Luke, supported by several servants, staggered out.

When her father walked out, Faras smiled and said, "Leave him alone, he hasn't had a chance to drink for a long time." ”

Ryan shook his head and said, "Uncle Luke's point makes a lot of sense. ”

Faras glared at Ryan and said angrily, "What did you just say?"

Ryan whispered, "Luke...... Uncle?"

Red smiled and said, "Change your mind." Ryan, you're magical, but you're an idiot. I really don't know how other people can take a fancy to you. ”

Ryan hesitated and said, "Then, Imperial Finance Minister, Lord Luke?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

————————————*————————————*———————————— Luke was carried into the bedroom by the servant, and he remained motionless, allowing the servant to help him take off his coat and shoes, and lay down on the bed.

When the servant withdrew, Luke opened his eyes slightly, and a sober look shot in his eyes, where was the drunken look just now.

Today's banquet was actually specially arranged by Luke, and now it seems to be working very well, not only bringing everyone closer, but also enlightening Ryan, so that even if the final game is lost, I believe the team will not have much fluctuation.

More importantly, through his words at the banquet, he once again figured out everyone's personalities, the bold Oz, the sleek Red, and the naïve Alina...... I sent someone to get a copy of the information of each companion in my daughter's team, and in order not to make mistakes, I also personally reviewed it this time.

The result is indeed as recorded in the data, and it seems that I can rest assured. Although Luke doesn't usually see his daughter much, how can he not care about his own flesh and blood?" It was Luke's motto, and it was this phrase that enabled Luke to hold the position of Minister of the Empire's Treasury for many years. Now it is used on the daughter's team, but it is just a familiar road.
