Apdos said in admiration: "I didn't expect Alice to have such martial arts skills at such a young age. I'm afraid no one would believe it if I told others."
Philiya smiled slightly and said: "Alice is lucky. Edmund took great pains and consumed many precious herbs for her, so that she could have such a practice. It's not that she has a good talent."
In this world, because of the existence of healing magic, the research on medicinal herbs is not very deep.
However, because of the existence of powerful herbs such as Dragon Soul Grass, it is not without achievements.
Moreover, some detection magic can detect the powerful energy aura on the herbs, so some precious herbs are already known.
After I helped them practice, we agreed that if someone asked, they would say that they had such an effect by eating precious herbs.
Apdos exclaimed: "So that's how it is. Director Edmund's love for Alice is really enviable. Precious herbs mostly grow in deep mountains and dense forests, and are often guarded by high-level monsters. They are things that are hard to come by. When King Rokara wanted to improve the fighting spirit of several princes, he offered a reward of tens of millions of gold coins for them, but he couldn't buy them. Alice is really lucky."
Among the top ten S-level mercenary tasks on the continent, there is also a task to buy Dragon Soul Grass. Unfortunately, no one has been able to complete this mercenary task so far.
The effectiveness of Dragon Soul Grass has been spread more and more mysteriously. Now there is a rumor that eating Dragon Soul Grass can immediately advance to the God of Magic, and it has become a magical medicine that many magicians dream of.
During the meal, Philiya asked Apdos and Kelly to stay. Apdos, who tasted Chinese dishes for the first time, praised them highly and said, "If you open a hotel with such a standard, it will definitely be more popular than the Sky Blue Hotel."
Speaking of this, she suddenly had an idea and thought of something.
Philiya smiled but said nothing. Almost everyone who ate her dishes for the first time was like this. She had already gotten used to it.
Apdos seemed to be very interested in the dishes on the table and kept asking about the ingredients and methods of various dishes.
Turk smiled and said to me: "Brother Edmund, you are going to be famous now! I am afraid that tomorrow morning, your name will spread throughout the entire college, overwhelming our so-called top ten masters in one fell swoop and ranking first on the college's list."
Rank also exclaimed: "Brother Edmund is indeed a man who makes a big splash when he does not make a name for himself. He defeated the third best master in the college with one move. Who can resist such prestige? I heard about it just after class."
Lan Ya also said: "Yes, yes! I also heard about it after class. If it weren't for the fact that Melina said you are the college mentor when she finally announced it, I am afraid you would have been listed as the new top master of the college."
"Fortunately, Brother Edmund is not a student of the college, otherwise, it would be too much of a blow to our self-confidence. Calories are really unlucky!"
This is Nick, but others also agreed and expressed their deep sympathy for Calories.
Virsa asked curiously, "Brother Edmund, why did cousin Calorie want to duel with you?" It turned out that Calorie was his cousin. This world is really small.
I smiled bitterly and said, "It's a helpless thing. First it was for a girl, and then he said I insulted his dignity, so he had to duel.
God knows, I just met that girl for the first time, and we didn't say a word."
Tek laughed and said, "It must be Catherine. The whole academy knows that Calorie has dueled countless times for Catherine. I didn't expect that this time he would find Brother Edmund. This time he really hit the iron plate."
Seeing that another one of the top ten masters of the academy was defeated by me with one move, he finally found some balance, and his tone was full of gloating.
Viersa smiled bitterly and was speechless.
In the evening, Prince Landis received Princess Kelly's reply in the study. After knowing that Edmund rejected his invitation, he immediately sank in disappointment and waved away the swordsman who replied.
Since he last saw Philiya in the dwarf blacksmith shop, even though he didn't see her true face, Prince Landis has been completely attracted by her grace.
Her every move is so natural and elegant. He can only see her mature charm and noble temperament in his mother, the queen of the Os Empire.
Therefore, for him, Philiya's charm is huge and irresistible. Just at the moment he saw her, he had sworn to himself that he must get Philiya.
It's a pity that no matter how he showed his grace, boasted his talent, or even showed off his power to Philiya when Edmund left, Philiya was so indifferent and absent-minded.
And seeing the affection between Philiya and Long Gutian, his heart was like being bitten by a heart-eating venomous snake, and it hurt his heart and lungs.
Since then, he immediately arranged people to monitor Philiya and Long Gutian's every move, looking for opportunities to get close to Philiya.
However, the defense of Laiya College is comparable to that of the palace, and Linxiang Apartment is inaccessible to ordinary people, and Philiya rarely leaves the apartment, so he has never found an opportunity.
Today, after hearing the news of Edmund's victory in the duel, Prince Landis was surprised to find that Edmund actually had the strength of a saint, and immediately set his sights on him again.
The prince is a very ambitious person. At a very early time, he had begun to accumulate his strength in order to obtain the throne of the king.
According to the ancestral precepts of the Philix family, after graduating from Laiya College, he must stay away from the imperial capital and go to remote provinces to start a hard business.
For this reason, he has been sparing no effort to win over masters, even by any means.
Therefore, Prince Landis asked Princess Kelly to send an invitation to Edmund, hoping not only to see Philiya again, but also to win him over.
He had even begun to consider how to win Edmund over to become his subordinate, and how to attract Philiya's attention at the banquet.
With his appearance and power, he believed that absolutely no woman could resist his temptation.
He also believed that a young Saint-level master like Edmund would not be content to be a mentor in the academy. Under the temptation of power and money, Edmund would swear allegiance to him one day.
What he had to do now was to continue to get to know and understand Edmund.
But he didn't expect that Edmund actually rejected his invitation, putting his plan on hold.
It was like a heavy punch that hit nothing, and he felt so uncomfortable.
He never thought that as a prince of the Oss Empire, he would be rejected by someone who took the initiative to invite him, which made him feel very embarrassed.
"Edmund, you are too presumptuous. You dare not give me face. You'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!" A series of sinister voices came from the silent study.
In the palace of the Os Empire, Apdos, who had just left the apartment, was reporting to King Rokara.
"You said that the ten-year-old girl has the strength that is not inferior to the swordsman? How is that possible?" King Rokara said loudly with a look of disbelief.
For some reason, Apdos's voice was always so cold to King Rokara. "According to what her mother Philiya told me, it was because Edmund gave her some precious herbs that led to a significant increase in her strength. Kelly also said that the little girl was just an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts not long ago."
"Wait, wait, wait!" King Rokala said vigilantly: "Last time you told me that the little girl's mother had amethyst-level fighting spirit, but her martial arts were very weak. Kelly said it was because of eating precious herbs. Now the little girl's strength has skyrocketed, and it was also because of eating precious herbs. How many such herbs does he have? How come such rare things seem to be eaten as food in his hands! What kind of herbs can make a little girl who doesn't know fighting spirit and martial arts become the youngest swordsman on the continent?"
Speaking of this, King Rokala was very depressed. Last time he asked for one but couldn't get it, and now someone actually has so many.
"Even if the fighting spirit was obtained by spiritual medicine, the martial arts were carefully taught by Edmund. In my opinion, let alone other things, the little girl's speed and body movements are nearly times faster than those of swordsmen of the same level. When her fighting spirit is cultivated to the level of a great swordsman, I may no longer be her opponent."
Apdos said coldly, but there was great emotion in her voice.
"Since the little girl has such strength, then Edmund who taught her martial arts is naturally even more amazing." King Rokala pondered and said, "We must think of a way to let them stay in the Os Empire forever. If such masters are used by other empires, it is definitely not a good thing. It is not guaranteed that they will not leave if they are just honorary tutors of Laiya College. However, if he is suddenly rewarded with something, I am afraid he may not accept it."
Apdos said lightly, "I have an idea that can make them care more about the empire."
"Oh! What is the method? Tell me quickly!" King Rokala was overjoyed and asked quickly.
"I stayed there for dinner today and found that the dishes cooked by Edmund's wife not only tasted great but also looked beautiful and had a strong aroma. I have never seen such dishes before. The most rare thing is that all the dishes are made with the most common ingredients. According to her, good dishes need to have color, fragrance, meaning and shape. If she can teach some chefs and then open a hotel in the capital, the business will definitely not be worse than the Sky Blue Hotel. So, I propose that we provide the land and manpower, and he provides the technology, and we will cooperate to open a hotel, and we will share the profits 50-50. In this way, they can have their own industry in the capital, and they will naturally not leave easily if they have more concerns." Apdos said seriously.
"Great!" King Rokala said happily, "This way, we can take the opportunity to contact him and recruit him. And if those dishes are really as delicious as you said, then this hotel will naturally prosper, and then we can greatly curb the Shuilan Chamber of Commerce. It is really the best way to kill three birds with one stone. Hmm? Who should I let do this?"
Apdos said coldly, "Leave it to me! I think they will agree to co-operate in the hotel, but we must find someone else to manage it in the future."
"Okay! It's best to leave it to you!" King Rokala nodded. "You can ask for as much money and manpower as you need, and I will satisfy you when the time comes."
Apdos nodded, and without saying goodbye, he turned and walked out the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "You'd better not send anyone to monitor him anymore, otherwise, angering him is not a good thing."
