According to the map given by Edward, they left the Hohnheim family's residence and walked south along the official road. Not long after leaving the White Fog Plain, they could see a bustling town.
Alcanretia was a hot spring city on par with the Irrus Empire's Stone City, Preston. In terms of water quality, it was even better than Alcanretia. However, due to the policies of the Solant Kingdom, it was difficult for people from other nations to come here. As a result, the economy here wasn't very prosperous. In the Solant Kingdom, Alcanretia was considered a second-tier town.
After paying the entrance tax of 40 copper coins and entering the town, Tang En observed again and again. After confirming one thing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not see any MLM religion. It seemed that the name was just a coincidence.
Come to think of it, the Goddess of Water in this world was Anita Lyle, not some idiot who only knew how to perform at banquets and drink all day.
The reason why he decided to come here was partly because Fiona had missed the hot spring trip in Preston (see Chapter 590), and he wanted to make it up to her. On the other hand, he wanted to know more about the situation in the Solant Kingdom, so that it would be easier for him to invade … no, take over this place.
The carriage stopped outside a hotel called Florian Holy Spring. Tang En looked at the paper in his hand. "Alphonse said that this is the best hot spring hotel in Alcârdia."
From the outside, the hot spring hotel looked beautiful and grand, which was quite in line with Tang En's imagination of a fantasy world.
After the carriage stopped, Aiguin and Grandia got off first, then helped Fiona out of the carriage. Then, they spent 10 gold coins to book a small independent courtyard at the shopkeeper's.
When paying, Tang En deliberately took out a 10-gold note and handed it to the shopkeeper, secretly observing the boss's reaction.
To his surprise, the shopkeeper only hesitated for a moment after seeing the note. Then, he took it to the side and checked it on the money detector. Then, he happily accepted it.
Under the guidance of the servant, they came to the independent courtyard. After closing the door, Tang En said with a smile, "To my surprise, he accepted the note. It seems that our counterattack was very effective."
"That's normal."
Fiona lazily slumped into a chair, rubbing her butt as she said, "The Star Diamond Bank and the Radiant Church have already made their stance clear. No matter how angry Klein is, before he has the ability to resist, he can only accept this reality."
The Star Diamond Bank increased the rate of currency exchange, and the Datang Chamber of Commerce continued to give discounts to those who used the new currency. The promotion of the new currency was unprecedented, and the people at the bottom were also very positive about the new currency. Emperor Klein couldn't do anything by himself, so of course, he couldn't resist.
Tang En's gaze fell on Fiona's perky buttocks. He smiled and said, "Do you need me to rub them for you?"
"No way!"
Although Fiona was more than willing, with Aiguin and Grandia around, her young lady's reserved heart wouldn't allow her to behave so rudely.
"It's all your fault for insisting on taking the carriage. It's too uncomfortable."
Fiona was now used to the feeling of driving. Although Mana Sedan hadn't been sold to the market yet, the management of the Datang Chamber of Commerce had already used it. Now, in Ellington, it had become the envy of everyone.
After getting used to the flat roads of Ellington and the excellent shock absorption system of the small car, Fiona felt that her butt was about to burst open when she sat in the carriage again, even though the seat was also soft leather.
"I know it's uncomfortable, but we haven't conquered the Solant Kingdom yet."
Tang En spread his hands and said, "Even our magic-powered furniture here is smuggled in by merchants. It's expensive. If even Mana Sedan, which hasn't been listed on the market, appeared, even a fool would know that something is wrong."
This time, they had come to scout ahead and gather information on the enemy. What was the point of swaggering around in Mana Sedan?
And the road conditions here … To be honest, Mana Sedan's effect wasn't much better than a carriage.
Tang En smiled and said, "Take a break, have some snacks, and then quickly enjoy the hot springs here."
Fiona waved her hand and said, "You go first. We ladies will go later."
"Alright, I'll relax too."
Tang En got up and walked to the back. When he passed by Grandia, he paused and mouthed, "If you dare to cause trouble this time, I'll execute you on the spot!"
Grandia glared back without backing down. "Wishful thinking! This time, I'll go in with Lady Aiguin. You'll be so envious! (See Chapter 590 for details of conflicts.) "
This little girl really deserves a beating!
Tang En was so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't do anything about it. Grandia was now known as the chief minister of agriculture in the Irus Empire. There were so many mouths waiting to be fed. If he really angered her, Tang En would also be in trouble. He could only endure it for now and slowly make plans in the future.
After returning to his room and changing into casual clothes, Tang En leisurely wandered to the backyard. When he opened the door, a hot spring surrounded by green trees came into view. The hot spring was surrounded by round stones. Many fine holes had been cut into the stones to increase friction and prevent customers from slipping. There were also many convenient places to sit and lie in the hot spring. There was even a place to place a tray beside it. Just from this aspect alone, the people here were quite good at enjoying life.
Lying in the hot spring, Tang En let out a comfortable moan as he was wrapped in hot water. He felt as if all the pores in his body had been opened up.
The temperature of the water here was higher than in Preston. Since it wasn't as rich in minerals as in Preston, the color of the water was clearer and more comfortable.
Tang En took out a stack of piping hot barbecue skewers from his dimensional pocket, as well as a cup of cold dwarven brewed ale, and began to enjoy himself.
At this time, Fiona could no longer sit still.
After waiting for a while, she stretched and acted as if nothing had happened as she said to Aiguin, "Master Aiguin, Grandia, Tang En might want to soak in the hot spring for a while. If you're bored, you can go out for a stroll. I'll go lie down in my room for a while."
Grandia hurriedly said, "It's fine, it's fine. You don't have to worry about us. Go rest!"
She couldn't wait for the third wheel to leave. That way, she could have a happy two-person world with Aiguin.
Fiona didn't suspect anything. She nodded and went back to her room.
After closing the door, Fiona sneakily glanced at the window. Due to the cover of the trees, she couldn't see the hot spring in the backyard from here, but the ripples on the water clearly showed that Tang En had gone in at this moment.
Fiona hesitated for a moment, then quickly took off her clothes and wrapped a bath towel around herself. She planned to go out, but after standing in front of the door for a long time, she ran back to put on her swimsuit, then wrapped a bath towel around herself. She pushed open the window with satisfaction and floated down to the backyard.
As soon as Fiona landed, Tang En sensed something. He looked up and almost cried out in surprise. Fortunately, he resisted the impulse and said in a low voice, "Why did you come in?"
Fiona lowered her head and said shyly, "Don't you like it?"
How should Tang En answer this?
Like it? His sweetheart was in the house in front!
Not like it? Too hypocritical!
Tang En, who was in a dilemma, was speechless.
Fiona panicked.
God above, she had almost used up all her courage to say this sentence. Tang En's silence made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Seeing that she couldn't hear Tang En's answer, Fiona simply gritted her teeth and went straight into the pool.
Tang En, who had his head lowered, saw the hot spring water slowly submerge Fiona's toes, ankles, calves, and then thighs …
When Fiona completely sat in the pool, Tang En was not so nervous. He smiled and said, "Of course I like it, but you should know —"
Fiona mustered up her courage, raised her head and said, "I know, of course I know, but you should also know that I like you."
"— —"
Tang En smiled and avoided the topic. "— — What I want to say is that Aiguin and Grandia must have noticed that you came in."
Aiguin and Grandia were not fools. One of them was a Legendary powerhouse, while the other was a Druid Priestess with sharp eyes and ears. With Fiona's strength, it was too difficult to hide from them.
"— —"
Fiona's face blushed at once as she said shyly, "It's my fault …"
Was it really her careless?
No, in fact, Fiona was very clear that her actions would be noticed by them. Or rather, it was because she knew that they would notice that she did it on purpose.
Directly declare war on Aiguin?
She didn't have the courage.
Shaking her head and begging Aiguin to let her have Tang En?
She couldn't do it.
So, after thinking about it, Fiona could only use this method to show her determination to Aiguin.
She could only let Aiguin understand that it was impossible for her to leave Tang En. She could either compromise and accept her, or stay away from Tang En and not go to that step with him.
Fiona admitted that it was despicable of her, but if she didn't do it, she really had no other choice. She was about to go crazy!
Fortunately, Fiona realized that Tang En didn't see through her little thoughts. As long as he wasn't angry, everything would be easy …
Didn't Grandia notice Fiona's actions?
Of course, she did.
But she was very happy. There was no need to say it out loud!
It was best if Fiona could succeed. Grandia even decided to find a chance to bring Aiguin in to see the adultery!
That way, Tang En's threat would be gone!
Didn't Aiguin notice?
Of course, she did.
But to her, there was no need to care about such things.
She didn't care. Or rather, in her heart, she didn't have the thought of monopolizing Tang En and not allowing others to touch him.
Did Tang En really not see through Fiona's thoughts?
Not necessarily.
But was there a need to say it out loud?
No.
He was very clear about one thing. Making a fortune in silence was a bad idea!
He liked Aiguin a lot, but he also liked Fiona. If he could really enjoy the happiness of having two wives, why would he reject it?
Not rejecting and not expressing his stance was a proper way of doing things. But the problem was that this way of doing things was the most beneficial.
While enjoying the feeling of being pursued by Fiona, he was also thinking of ways to conquer Aiguin. The two didn't conflict with each other.
Fiona heaved a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, she began to untie the bath towel.
Tang En's steady breathing suddenly became rapid.
So, he knew that sometimes, there were great benefits to playing dumb … Eh?! Eh, eh, eh?!
Seeing Fiona take off the bath towel and reveal the swimsuit he designed, Tang En almost vomited blood.
Damn God, are you playing with me?!
I've already taken off my pants, but you're showing me a swimsuit?!
