Chapter 78: Antoine’s Gift
“Who are you?!”
Joelson could not help but ask.
Without waiting for the two to answer, Leas answered first, “Prince Antoine sent them.”
The two Loli maids replied, “We are Prince Antoine’s gift to Young Master Joelson.”
It was clearly two people answering, but it sounded like the same voice.
Antoine.
Antoine again?!
Joelson sneered, nodded and said, “Okay.”
He flipped his hand and took out the bottle of spiritual potion that Antoine had given him last time. He said to the two people, “Take this back and tell Prince Antoine that Joelson thanks him for the gift.”
The two beautiful Loli maidservants immediately panicked when they heard Joelson’s words.
“Master Joelson!”
Without turning his head, Joelson walked towards the direction of the magic laboratory and said lightly, “Leas, help me call a carriage for them.”
“Yes.”
Leas’ face was filled with excitement and pride.
She did not know why, but she hated these two maidservants from the bottom of her heart, especially when they were dressed like this.
Those maids who came over to please him had taught her a lot.
“Young Master Joelson!”
The two Loli maids hurriedly shouted. Seeing that Joelson did not intend to pay any attention to them, they directly knelt down.
“If we are rejected, Prince Antoine will definitely beat us to death!”
“A rejected gift will lose its original value and can only be thrown away like trash. Sob Sob Sob Sob…”
Joelson turned around and looked at the two of them.
The two Lolis looked at him pitifully with tears rolling down their eyes. They looked heartbroken and weak.
Joelson hesitated.
Many n.o.bles would choose 11 or 12-year-old girls from the commoners and train them in the skills of pleasing their guests. When they were 16 years old, they would choose the outstanding ones to enjoy themselves or give them as gifts to their valuable guests.
The two girls in front of them had Loli faces, devil-like bodies, and rare twins. They were simply the best of the “Gifts”.
It seemed that Antoine had really put in a lot of effort for him.
Once he rejected them, there was no guarantee that the furious Antoine would vent all his anger on the two of them.
On the surface, they looked very polite and gentle, but the evil hidden in their hearts was often even more shocking.
“Young Master.”
Seeing the hesitation in Joelson’s expression, Leas immediately became anxious.
The twin girls seemed to see hope, and said anxiously, “Even if Young Master Joelson hates us, please let us stay. We can do anything.”
Joelson was silent for a moment, and then asked, “What are your names?”
The twin girls looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
When Joelson asked their names, it meant that he was ready to accept them.
“Mavis.”
“Jessalind.”
Leas immediately became angry and looked at Joelson with resentment.
Joelson sighed helplessly.
As a transmigrator, even if he had lived in this world for more than ten years, he still could not buy and sell people as gifts and goods like the local n.o.bles in this world.
If he refused, Mavis and Jessalind might be trampled to death tonight.
“Lias, ask someone to send this bottle of medicine and fifty thousand gold coins back to Prince Antoine’s estate. Ask questions to thank him for his gift. Also, I don’t want there to be a next time.”
…
Prince Antoine’s estate.
Antoine sat on a chair with a gloomy expression.
“Drag him down.”
Two guards walked forward and dragged down a badly mutilated corpse on the ground.
Antoine, who had used a whip to kill three maids, finally felt a little better.
But his mood was still bad.
“d.a.m.ned Joelson! How dare you reject me!”
A figure floated up like a ghost.
“Your Majesty, do you want to…”
This “Your Majesty” made Antoine unable to help but smile, as if his entire being was a little happier.
However, he still shook his head and said, “He has always lived in the Tulip Magic Academy, and Harriet Terrence is here. We can’t do anything to him.”
The ghost-like figure said faintly, “Perhaps, we can start with his family.”
Antoine’s interest was immediately piqued, and he frowned again.
“Sage-level powerhouses live for a very long time. They won’t be bound by family ties.”
“But he’s not a sage-level yet.”
Antoine was silent for a moment as if he was in a dilemma and hesitating.
Finally, a cold voice sounded in the room.
“Go and make the arrangements. Remember, don’t let him find out that we did it for the time being.”
…
Soon, three months had pa.s.sed.
In the s.p.a.ce of the Dragon G.o.d Ranch.
The giant dragon that was covered in red flames was roaring in the sky. Its golden-red eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
Its opponent was a strange giant dragon that was covered in countless rhombus-shaped crystals.
The cut surface was as exquisite and beautiful as a gemstone.
The crystal dragon could withstand more than 70% of magic damage, and there was a 30% chance of it being completely immune to damage.
It was a natural nemesis of mages.
It also had a certain amount of reduction on physical damage.
If the only drawback was that the crystal dragon’s body was clumsy, and it was not nimble enough to fly.
Du Lu crazily bit at the crystal dragon.
The blazing flames sprayed onto the crystal dragon’s body, leaving not a single trace. Only the dragon’s teeth and claws could scratch some transparent fragments off the crystal dragon’s body.
Every attack of the crystal dragon carried a strange power. Where it hit, Du Lu’s scales appeared to have crystallized, and his defense was greatly reduced.
Dragon blood splattered.
Du Lu’s body was already filled with wounds, but he still attacked fiercely.
“Yi Ni.”
Yi Ni was anxiously circling at the edge of the Dragon G.o.d Arena. She let out a series of low roars, and her blue eyes were filled with deep worry.
Joelson frowned.
When Du Lu was sent flying by the crystal dragon for the fifth time and rushed up again, he said, “Admit defeat!”
The crystal dragon turned into a ray of golden light and returned to the dragon flag.
Du Lu lost his opponent in an instant. He roared angrily and kept spitting flames from his mouth as if he was venting his anger.
Du Lu could not help but growl, “Enough! Du Lu!”
Du Lu panted heavily. After a while, he finally landed in front of Joelson.
Like a wronged puppy, he lowered his head and ate the gra.s.s that Joelson fed him, which was emitting a weak light.
“Dragon’s Fang Gra.s.s: Its Strange fragrance contains magic power that intoxicates dragons. Even the fiercest dragons can dance around it. It can help the dragon race level up faster, providing 200 growth points.”
The growth value of each high-grade farm product was four times that of the longling flower. The growth cycle was nine days.
