Quadruple split

Game time 04:51

Eastern border of the Violet Empire, Baroka Territory, outside Mason Town, shallow forest

"Sorry, honey."

With long, silky blue hair, and wearing a black-bottomed gown that was made of simple material but was eye-catching in style, a human man in his early twenties walked briskly out of the shadows, his eyes like fire. Her diamond-like deep red eyes stared unblinkingly at the beautiful figure not far away, and apologized to her lover who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time: "I'm late."

"Phoenix!"

Qianying let out a clear and melodious cry, then turned around suddenly and jumped into the arms of the young man named Phoenix.

Seeing that the other party did not blame him, Phoenix immediately smiled, gently stroked the other party's pretty face that looked like a woman even though it was not a moonlit posture, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was delayed by something on the way. "It's been a long time, Aina..."

"No, it's very troublesome for me to get away from home, so I just arrived not long ago."

Ariel Willard, who had been waiting in this shallow forest for more than three hours, shook her head vigorously, and then blinked in confusion: "But who is Aina?"

"Ina, of course it's you, my dear."

Phoenix lightly flicked the girl's smooth forehead and said with a smile: "Don't forget that we are going to elope outside the empire. We don't know how many obstacles we will face along the way. I am afraid that my father-in-law will not give up easily. Your family is so powerful, if we don't even change our names, I'm afraid we will be captured in a few days."

Ariel was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded vigorously, leaning into Phoenix's arms with a happy face on her face, hugging the latter's body tightly, although it was not burly, but it still gave her an unparalleled sense of security. He murmured: "You are so smart, Phoenix!"

"Haha, you are not allowed to continue calling me by my real name. Well, let me think about it..."

Phoenix Dumbledore gently rubbed his chin, and finally his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Why don't I just call you Anthony~"

Ariel lay on her lover's chest, looked up sweetly at the other person's eyes that always made her intoxicated, and said meekly: "Okay, from now on I will call you Ann...Anthony."

"If you can't remember, it's okay to call me 'dear'."

Phoenix gently kissed Ariel's hair, which exuded the fragrance of honey, and chuckled: "That is a title that belongs exclusively to you."

The latter bit his lower lip with a reddish complexion and muttered: "Then I want it too..."

"What else do you want?"

Phoenix leaned close to her ear, and the latter could feel the distance of her breathing and asked softly: "I didn't hear clearly."

"I...I want you to call me honey too!"

Ariel stood up on her tiptoes and gently bumped Phoenix's chin, her cheeks so red that they almost bled.

I have to say that this kind of words is really a bit too exciting for a young girl who is just starting to fall in love.

Fortunately, Phoenix, who also fell in love for the first time, was equally shy. In fact, he was even shyer than Ariel. Holding hands and hugging seemed to be his limit.

This feeling of a young boy made Ariel want to tease and tease him.

"Okay, I'll listen to you~"

Phoenix dotingly pushed away the strand of hair from Ariel's forehead that was slightly blocking her vision, took the latter's weak and boneless hand, and confirmed for an unknown number of times: "You really don't regret it?"

Ariel shook her head vigorously and said firmly: "I don't regret it!"

"But I'm just an ordinary civilian. I have no family background, no strength, no money. I have nothing except the love for you that almost overflows from my chest."

Phoenix pursed his lips, his reddish complexion gradually began to turn pale, and said softly: "But you are different, my dear, you are the daughter of Earl Willard. You should be away from all suffering and have an extremely happy life, but If you were with me..."

"I will only become happier if I am with you."

Ariel put her index finger on Phoenix's lips, interrupted the latter's nonsense, and said softly: "Without you, those lives that are extremely happy in the eyes of others would be suffering to me, and... "

Phoenix sighed silently and smiled bitterly: "And what?"

"And didn't you just say that I am the daughter of Earl Willard, and as the legitimate daughter of one of the top nobles in Baroka, I don't want to wrong myself."

Ariel winked playfully and smiled slyly: "So..."

Phoenix's expression froze slightly: "So...what?"

"So I 'borrowed' this thing from home."

Ariel gently touched the beautiful bracelet on her left wrist, and saw a flash of silver light. Suddenly, an exquisitely shaped object that looked like a jade basin appeared in her arms. She smiled. Said: "The secret of the Willard family's prosperity is [The Incredible Bowl]."

Phoenix's eyes immediately widened and he stared blankly at the basin in Ariel's arms that, although it looked very dated, was still delicate and beautiful and could be used as a decoration, he said in amazement: "Incredible bowl? what is that?"

"It's our Willard family that has transformed from a small chamber of commerce hundreds of years ago into a very famous figure in the Baroka Territory."

Ariel looked down at the [Incredible Bowl] in her arms with awe-inspiring eyes, and explained softly: "It is said that our ancestors got this when they were doing business. They seemed to have saved an alchemist who was in trouble. Magician, a few years later that man came to visit our Willard family and said that he was going to die, and since he had no relatives or friends to care about him, he simply left his life's work to the savior, which is our family."

Phoenix nodded slightly and asked: "So the result of that alchemist is..."

"That's right, it's this [Incredible Bowl]."

Ariel chuckled, patted the beautiful jade bowl in her arms, and said excitedly: "Although there are many restrictions on its use, ordinary people like us will consume magic crystals to use it, but it is A lot of great things can be made.”

Phoenix blinked and asked curiously: "Amazing things? What are they?"

"The simplest thing is gold. Although it cannot be created out of thin air, it can be converted with some easily obtained materials. The efficiency is not high at all, but it can be converted into more than a hundred gold coins every day, minus those From the cost of the materials, we can earn at least fifty gold coins per day, and if we can use them once every two days, that’s twenty-five gold coins per day.”

The shrewd Ariel calculated the accounts quickly, and with a smile like a flower, she said to the man in front of her whom she wanted to entrust her life to: "If you calculate it this way, although twenty-five gold coins a day is not much, it is still better than many small nobles. The income is going to be higher, and this is without us having to do anything.”

Phoenix shook his head and said seriously: "I don't want to do nothing and only rely on you and your baby to support me. After all, I think this thing should be kept, otherwise His Excellency the Earl will definitely..."

"Dad won't blame me, he loves me the most."

Ariel interrupted Phoenix, and then changed the subject: "And I won't use it for too long. My idea is that after we settle down in the sanctuary, we will use this to save some money first, and then I can do some business, I am talented in this area, and you are so smart, my dear, we will definitely make money. When then, can’t we just exchange this thing back?"

As a result, Phoenix continued to shake his head and said: "It's not that simple. This is a treasure passed down by your family. My dear, can you rest assured that it will be sent back by someone else? If you send it back by yourself, do you think the Earl will let you go? ?"

"I...I didn't consider this!"

Ariel murmured something softly, and then murmured with a slightly red face: "So...so we have to..."

"What do we have to do?"

Phoenix blinked curiously, looking at his lover in confusion.

"We have to... hurry up and have a baby."

Ariel leaned on Phoenix's chest and whispered with an imperceptible volume: "I...I understand my father, although he always wants to stop me from chasing my ideals, even though he is an old man who only knows the right person. Old-fashioned, but if we have a child, he will definitely not stop it anymore... Of course, two may be better, I want a son and a daughter."

"ah……"

Phoenix was stunned at first, and after a while, he rubbed the tip of his nose with a red face: "You are so cunning, my dear, you have said so much, then I can only work hard... "

Ariel smiled sweetly, stood on tiptoe and pinched the tip of Phoenix's nose: "I'm not asking you to work hard alone. I will always be by your side?"

"This is the blessing of my life."

Phoenix gently held Ariel in his arms, and after a moment of tenderness, he asked curiously: "By the way, dear, by the way, this [Incredible Bowl] can only convert other things into gold coins. ?"

"How is that possible?"

Ariel chuckled, shook her head vigorously, and said sternly: "Something that can only earn twenty-five gold coins in two days cannot help the Willide family rise. My dear, let me tell you, making gold coins is just this thing. One of the most basic functions, in addition, it can convert many kinds of things, and as long as you find the rules, you can continue to create new conversion methods!"

Phoenix was shocked at that time and said in amazement: "So powerful..."

"No, it's a pity that I don't know anything about alchemy or magic, so I can't understand this thing at all, and I don't know where to collect the above materials. Otherwise, we will definitely go more smoothly."

Ariel touched her storage wrist again, took out an antique-looking parchment scroll, and muttered: "If only I had listened to my father and learned what he said, 'The head of the Willard family must It would have been nice to have mastered the basics of alchemy, what a shame."

"It's okay, honey."

Phoenix gently stroked Ariel's cheek and smiled: "It's never too late to correct your mistakes. It turns out it doesn't matter if you don't listen to your father, as long as you know how to be obedient in the future."

Ariel stuck out her tongue: "Let's wait until our child is born and we can reconcile with his father. Anyway, I haven't had much chance to be a good child in the past few years."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Phoenix gently took the scroll from Ariel's hand and put it into his pocket, and used a little force to pull the [Incredible Bowl] out of her arms. Phoenix laughed playfully and said softly: "Thank you, dear. Yes, and... I sincerely hope that I will not cause any estrangement between you and your daughter. After all, compared with family love, what are these extraneous things?"

"Pho...Phoenix?"

"I am here, dear, although I will be gone soon."

"You... no... this is impossible, this is not true, are you kidding me, right? Just like when we met in the garden before, you were just kidding me..."

"Sorry, dear, actually, neither the me who met you in the garden, nor the me here at this moment, meant it as a joke."

"Phoenix...no..."

"I have always been very serious -"

"No, Phoenix, I don't believe it, dear..."

"Deceive you."

Bang——

With a sharp strike of the knife, Ariel Willard, whose name was mistakenly remembered as Aina, instantly lost consciousness, her body went limp and she fell into the arms of the man in front of her, and a drop of crystal Tears also fell down her cheeks to the ground, shattering into pieces.

…

fifteen minutes later

Baroka Collar, a wooden house on the outskirts of Mason Town

"This is your daughter, Your Excellency."

Phoenix carefully put the girl in his arms on the bed, and smiled flatteringly at the tall, middle-aged man with gray hair next to him: "Please check~"

"This is your antidote, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Phoenix."

After asking his entourage to confirm that his daughter was fine, the middle-aged man threw Phoenix a porcelain vase, then took out a heavy bag of gold coins from his arms and handed it over: "In addition, this is your reward for teaching my daughter what is reality. .”

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency."

Phoenix first quickly took the antidote, clearing the toxins in his status bar that would kill him in two hours. Then he took the bag of gold coins with fear, and then took out a golden card from his pocket. The ticket: "Well, this is Ai... uh... it is the money that the lady specially prepared for this elopement. It seems to have been withdrawn from her private account. Please accept it."

"Heh... you are an honest young man, Phoenix."

"You are joking. The Willard family and the Duke of Baroka family have always been on good terms. I just don't want to get into trouble."

"Okay, you can keep the money for yourself and treat it as an extra reward."

"That lady..."

"I will make up for my daughter's private money, so you won't have to worry about it."

"I obey your orders, Your Majesty."

"Then, goodbye, Mr. Phoenix, don't forget..."

"I will never appear in front of you and your daughter again. Don't worry, I will leave the Violet Empire immediately."

"Very well, go ahead."

“Thank you again for your generosity~”
