Five or six minutes later, Crane was the first to reach the finish line, gasping for breath while leaning on his legs, followed by Ike, who was in the same village as him.
Mei Li wrinkled her eyebrows together in distress, and her little hands were about to tear the corners of her clothes.
"Take a break." Claire said softly.
Hunter immediately ordered those who reached the finish line to rest.
Claire gently pushed Merry and said softly, "Go find your brother."
"Oh!" Mei Li ran over after realizing it, and opened her little fleshy hands to hug Kelan, but Kelan held her little head down.
"Don't hug me, I'm covered in mud now."
"Hmph! Bad brother, I won't hug Meili anymore." Meili said with akimbo on her hips.
Crane poked her on the forehead, "Why did you come here? You are also with the Viscount."
Speaking of this, Meili's eyes lit up, she took Crane's hand and said excitedly, "Meili didn't even know that the eldest brother is actually the Viscount. Meili brought me here on the way."
Crane poked Meili on the head again, "I haven't said how you got here."
Mei Li closed her mouth, looked down at her heels, and said nothing.
"Running out of the house secretly? Didn't tell mom?"
Mei Li was in a hurry, "I'm here to give my brother something delicious!" She opened her bamboo basket and took out the wheat bread and dark roasted meat inside.
Crane glanced at it and smiled, then picked it up and put it in his mouth. Although he couldn't compare to the delicacies he ate in the morning, it was indeed delicious for his family.
After eating a few bites of bread, Crane put the food back in the basket, "Brother is not short of food here, so don't bring anything over here, you know?"
"But... But Mei Li misses her brother!" Mei Li was about to cry. She didn't see her brother for a day and felt like she was about to die.
Crane patted Meili's head and comforted: "Brother can go back twice a month, you just stay home and wait for your brother, then I'll buy you candy and go back."
"Oh!" Speaking of candy, Meili suddenly remembered something, took out the two Skittles that Claire had given her before, took out one and handed it out, "No, this is Meili and the eldest son. The candy my brother asked for, this one is for you."
Crane took it from Meili's hand, and then saw Meili put another candy back in her arms, and asked in doubt, "Aren't you going to eat it?"
Mei Li continued to hide the candy even deeper, and she was too busy to say: "Meili has eaten it, and this one is taken back for my mother to eat. Mei Li thinks the candy is delicious, but my mother always says that the candy is not delicious. The brown sugar I bought was for Mei Li, she didn't even try it, this time this candy will definitely change her mind!"
As she spoke, Mei Li seemed to recall the beauty of the candy from before, and excitedly said to Crane: "Brother, eat it quickly, sweet and sour is delicious, even better than brown sugar."
Crane was stunned, glanced at the candy in his hand, and just wanted to speak.
Mei Li said again: "Hurry up and eat, or Mei Li will be angry. It's really delicious!"
Crane put the candy in her arms and patted her little head. "My brother just finished training and can't eat. Let's eat it at night."
Mei Li's little face became bitter, but she quickly recovered and urged, "Then brother, you must eat it."
"Uh-huh."
The two chatted for a while, but the rest time was always short.
"You brats, get up for me, it's enough to rest for so long!" Hunter's majestic voice came.
At this time, Claire also leaned over, took Mei Li's hand, and said to Crane, "Don't worry, I will let someone send her home safely."
Crane stood up immediately and gave a knightly salute, "Thank you, Lord Viscount!"
Claire nodded lightly, and then got into the carriage with Meili.
Meili was also very good. Knowing that her presence here would affect her brother's training, she honestly followed Claire into the carriage.
Inside the Viscount Mansion.
"You can play here, I'm going to do an experiment, and I'll send you home after lunch." Claire said to Meili.
Mei Li looked at the huge castle and seemed a little cramped. Every room here was bigger than her own home, and it was countless times more gorgeous.
But after Claire left, Meili sat on the sofa for a while, and after secretly ate a few fruits, she was not so nervous, especially since there was a sister from their village among the maids here, Meili felt more relaxed. stand up.
And she was a guest invited by Claire, so although Reagan still didn't like seeing a commoner like her, and he wouldn't treat her in the same way as a maid, he told her that the basement and the sixth floor couldn't go, and let Meili Playing around in the Viscount Mansion.
Wandering around in the Viscount's Mansion, Mellie followed the scent into the kitchen, and met Yuna who was preparing lunch. The two of them talked about something, and soon became good friends.
…
At night, when the moon was hanging on the branches, Claire came out of the laboratory in the basement.
Shaking off the blood in her hand, Claire's brows were still furrowed after she found the washbasin and washed it off.
"It seems that it's not that simple to develop a potion that can quickly cultivate vindictiveness. Even after killing dozens of experimental mice, I still have no clue." Claire sighed.
He glanced at the books he brought back from the capital, and carefully studied those books about fighting qi. There are potions for restoring vindictive qi and stimulating potential, but there are only a few potions for training vindictive qi, only some supplements to stimulate the body. , which can slightly shorten the time for cultivating vindictiveness.
However, these medicines have been used in the military camp for a long time. If there is no new method, then I guess I really have to wait for the last two years.
After seeing his young master come out, Regan immediately leaned up.
"Master, dinner is ready, do you want to eat?"
It was only then that Claire came over. It was already night, so she asked, "Did Mei Li send you home?"
"After I invited Miss Merry to lunch, I asked the groom to take her back and it was delivered safely."
"Yeah." Claire nodded and walked towards the restaurant.
After sitting at the dining table for a while, a steak with honey sauce was placed in front of Claire.
Picking up a knife and fork and cutting a piece of meat at will, Claire looked at Yuna who was beside him, thinking in his heart, if there is time one day, he has to teach her to cook some Chinese food, otherwise every day If he eats all these things, he will suffer from depression sooner or later.
Seeing Claire looking at her, Yuna blushed and lowered her head, not knowing what to think.
Dinner was soon over, and after wiping her mouth with a napkin, Claire asked, "What time is it?"
"Back to the young master, it's half past ten."
"Well." Claire stood up and walked towards the stairs, exhorting, "Don't let anyone go to the sixth floor."
Today is a trading opportunity that he waited for for a week. At first, he was wondering whether to save it for the next transaction to make friends, but now it seems that he should use it first.
"Yes!" Reagan didn't follow, but stopped below and instructed the maids to clean up the dining room.
…
The moon was just hanging on the top spire, and Claire could just see the full picture of the moon through the huge transparent glass.
And he also stopped flipping the book in his hand, "It's twelve o'clock..."
Claire's mind moved, and a simple data panel appeared in his line of sight. Then he turned his gaze to the upper right corner, and sure enough, the transaction point became 1!
Claire didn't hesitate, and said directly, "Start trading!"
The familiar vortex ripples reappeared, and a mysterious aura emanated.
Even now Claire, who has completely mastered the original owner's knowledge of magic, has no idea how he managed this trans-world transaction.
Claire's eyes were fixed on the vortex in front of her, waiting patiently.
"I hope I can match a better trader this time..."
