"So, what the hell are the two of you thinking?!"
Tang En gritted his teeth and squeezed Coco's head. Beside him was Vanilla, who was hugging his head and crying out in pain.
The two cat-eared girls had just arrived, but they had already paid a huge price for their imagination.
Especially when they rushed in and shouted, "Let go of the girl and let me do it!" Everyone present was stunned!
When they revealed the so-called truth that they had guessed, everyone present was silent and looked at Tang En sympathetically.
Needless to say, this gossip and rumor would become his dark history forever.
"Big brother, don't look at me. I really didn't do it this time! I swear on my beard that I didn't say a word! "
Noticing Tang En's dangerous gaze, Brian decisively put down his glass and swore solemnly. He even used his beard. Now, even Tang En had to believe his words.
"So, who the hell started this rumor?!!!"
Tang En squeezed Coco's temple hard and roared with inexplicable grief and indignation. He was clearly trying his best to wash away the "lolicon" and "wife killer" title on him, but why did it feel like things were getting worse?
"It might not have been someone who spread it."
Fiona elegantly sipped her hot tea and said, "After all, the greater the hero, the more interested people are in his gossip. Not to mention, you're a living hero, so they're even more interested … Winette's incident wasn't covered up in the beginning, so there was no way to stop the news from spreading. In the beginning, you were the one who brought her back, and she even called you father. People definitely wouldn't let go of such a delightful piece of gossip."
"Also," she put down her teacup and shifted her legs, "You also told us that in the process of spreading the news, the more times it's repeated, the more subjective impressions it will add. Very soon, it will become unrecognizable. It should be said that it's already considered good that the child is yours and Elijah's. It's already worth celebrating that it's not yours and Aunt Clairat's child."
"If it turns out to be a rumor about me and Clairat, Uncle Abedon will definitely kill me …"
"Why would I?" Abedon chuckled. "It's not like I don't know the truth. I won't do that."
Can you please not sharpen your sword when you're saying such things? My neck feels cold!
"So, what is the truth of the matter?"
Vanilla had already recovered, but he still couldn't help but want to find out the truth. Otherwise, his heart would itch unbearably!
"In short, it's like this …"
Elsa jumped out and told them about Winette's past in a few words. After understanding the truth, the two cat-eared girls finally calmed down.
It turned out that there were so many unknown secrets …
"Then …"
Vanilla looked at Elsa's slightly bulging stomach with a conflicted expression. "What's up with your stomach? Don't tell me you've gotten fat … "
"Of course not!"
Elsa smiled shyly and said, "Actually, this is the Lord's and my child —"
Vanilla and Coco: "What!?"
The two girls, who had just calmed down, almost fainted again. This was not what they had agreed on!?
Why did Elsa have the Lord's child when Elijah's matter had just been resolved?
There had been no news at all when they came here!
Wasn't this too sudden?
"It's not a good habit to speak halfway!"
Tang En knocked Elsa's head and said irritably, "There's a very complicated reason behind this. Because it's very troublesome to explain, I'm too lazy to explain."
Vanilla and Coco: "…"
So the subtext was to let them misunderstand?
Vanilla said angrily, "I've never seen such an irresponsible person! Arousing our curiosity but not answering it. That's too much, okay?! "
"Don't you know that curiosity kills the cat?"
Tang En glared at her. Vanilla shrank back and immediately glared back. "It's all because of you!"
"Me?"
"That's right! If it weren't for you, Coco and I, the two of us, we wouldn't … "
Vanilla's voice disappeared as she spoke, and the information she unintentionally revealed attracted a group of thought-provoking gazes.
Tang En's balls hurt because he remembered that he had an ill-fated relationship with these two cat-eared girls!
Damn it! It's all because of Eutinia! If she hadn't developed a new cake flavor on a whim, these two cat-eared girls wouldn't have suddenly become estrous!
Tang En suddenly froze. It was now the Moon of Dawn. It seemed that the time for these two cat-eared girls to become estrous was coming soon?
Fiona silently glanced at them and didn't say anything. Instead, she changed the topic. "You can talk to Elsa later. However, I feel that you didn't come to Ellington like before because of proper business, right?"
Fiona glanced at Tang En as she spoke. Vanilla and Coco immediately understood. Fiona knew that they had been avoiding Tang En when they came to Ellington.
"Indeed, there is something."
Vanilla took out a small bag from her pocket. Then, she took out a small bag from Coco's pocket and handed it to Fiona. "This is all the Drake blood collected from the Drake Farm since the beginning of the month. Since it's our first time, we're not very familiar with it. Moreover, the Drake hasn't recovered to its peak condition after winter, so we didn't collect a lot of blood. It's a total of 28,000 tons."
"Almost 30,000 tons? That's a lot. "
Fiona raised an eyebrow. She was very surprised by this number.
Originally, she thought that it would be an exaggeration to collect 10,000 tons for the first time. She didn't expect Testero to give them such a big surprise.
Vanilla explained, "I'm afraid it's because the scale of the land dragon farm has expanded a lot. His Majesty Testero has mobilized people to collect a batch of land dragons and put them in the farm. Moreover, he has been doing a lot to increase the economic vitality of the country recently …"
"I understand."
Fiona pondered. From this, it seemed that Testero was really interested in this industry. Whether or not he wanted to curry favor with the Datang Chamber of Commerce, at least the results were good. He was probably relying on this industry to revitalize the Ryan Empire's economy.
Testero should be very clear that the current economic vitality of the Ryan Empire was all based on the Datang Chamber of Commerce. It was undoubtedly an illusion. Once the Datang Chamber of Commerce or the Irus Empire were in a deadlock, the Ryan Empire would instantly collapse. This wasn't an exaggeration.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The Orcs were used to their current good lives. If they were allowed to return to their previous poor lives, even if Tang En and the others didn't do anything, those simple-minded Orcs would probably rebel. It wouldn't be strange for them to lead the way.
According to this logic … It was easy to understand why Vanilla and Coco were sent to such an important first trade fair.
Vanilla's unintentional words just now revealed that there was definitely something fishy going on between them and Tang En. Perhaps it was some ambiguous contact, or perhaps the two Cat-eared Girls had actually become Tang En's personal pets without anyone knowing.
These weren't important. What was important was that Vanilla and Coco's special status allowed them to become the link between the Datang Chamber of Commerce and the Ryan Empire, mediating the relationship between the two sides.
They were the twin Saintesses of the Fire God Vatican in the Ryan Empire. Their status in the Ryan Empire wasn't low to begin with, and they had a certain amount of authority. At the same time, there was something fishy going on between them and Tang En, which meant that even with Tang En's benevolent personality, he wouldn't be too cruel to them. If they were to pass on some information that Testero found difficult to say, the chances of success would be very high.
After thinking up to this point, Fiona had basically guessed Testero's intentions. If nothing unexpected happened, the two Cat-eared Girls would pass on a more important message for Testero in addition to delivering the Earth Dragon Blood.
'I understand, but I just don't want to speak.'
Fiona, who had already guessed Testero's intentions, didn't intend to continue asking. After receiving the two bags, she said with a smile, "You two must be tired from the long journey. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while and have some tea? Stay for dinner tonight and rest for a while, then go back tomorrow."
Saying that they had come from afar was too much of a nonsense. They would arrive at their destination in the blink of an eye after walking through the teleportation portal. This was just a polite greeting. If the two Cat-eared Girls really stayed, it meant that there was something they hadn't done yet.
It could be to pass on Testero's thoughts, or it could be …
Fiona secretly glanced at Tang En. If there was something fishy going on between them and Tang En, perhaps she would find out at night.
Vanilla hesitated for a moment, but when she remembered that she still hadn't completed the task Testero gave her, she agreed. "Then we won't be polite."
As expected.
Fiona smiled slightly and motioned for Tina to pour tea for the two of them.
Tang En calculated in his mind and said, "Twenty-eight thousand tons of Earth Dragon Blood, according to the extraction ratio of gold cells and the synthesis formula of Oricha Steel, we can already make a lot of it. It's enough for them to start practicing."
"It's still not enough."
Fiona sighed and pouted at the Magic Engineering Research Institute in the distance. "Clotho and the others recently discovered that Oricha Steel can be used to replace universal alloy as the outer shell of power armor, which can greatly enhance the performance. If 500 kilograms of Oricha Steel is needed to produce a power armor, 100 units will be 50 tons, and 1,000 units will be 500 tons … We already have 100,000 soldiers, and considering the subsequent expansion of the army, this gap is too big …"
Speaking of this, Fiona said with a little bitterness, "It would be perfect if the Astral Plane could produce Oricha Steel …"
Tang En smiled bitterly. He also wanted to convey such a hint to Jean and the others. However, it was acceptable for the Astral Plane to produce natural materials, but producing this kind of synthetic material was too ridiculous. Even if he said it, no one would believe it!
If no one believed it, there would be no observer effect, and the Astral Plane would not be able to produce that kind of thing …
