Chapter 18
Lady Reina
As a world where technology and magic coexist, Blood Essence Stone is an important material supporting technology.
However, the current technology hasn’t fully developed yet.
Mid-game players who want to go to another area must take trains controlled by magical power.
And Blood Essence Stone is the container for storing magical power.
Mid-game players need to collect large amounts of Blood Essence Stone to start the train.
However, that shouldn’t be something he needs to worry about.
The server brought Henry a cup of hot milk, while also stuffing a small note into Henry’s palm.
On it was an address for an inn.
It seemed the pretty-voiced server was quite nice under normal circumstances, but he didn’t know if she would beat him to death when she went crazy.
Moreover, given her proactive behavior, Henry was somewhat afraid it might be poisoned.
He was a man who kept himself clean, and couldn’t let small gains lead to great losses.
He silently threw away the note, planning to continue gathering useful information here.
A fragrant breeze blew past him.
Immediately, a lady sat down across from him.
She wore a classic black suit, a fitted short blazer paired with a same-colored dress, outlining an elegant figure. She wore a wide-brimmed black hat on her head. Her hands wore black gloves, paired with black stockings and high heels, giving her a more mature charm.
“May I share the table?”
The lady revealed an elegant smile.
If it were normally, Henry would have already gone up to ask for her contact information.
But when a beautiful young wife ignores the empty seats beside her and comes to share a table with you, that’s a big problem!
“Big sister, I’m just a child drinking hot milk, sharing a table with you would be too much pressure.”
Hearing this, the lady couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“You don’t need to be so nervous, I just want to chat with a younger brother. After all, when one is lonely for too long, they tend to overthink.”
The tip of her high heel slowly scraped against Henry’s leg, as if deliberately trying to arouse Henry’s interest.
Henry admitted he couldn’t resist temptation, at least in front of mature wives, his bottom line was almost invisible.
“So is big sister going to keep me? I’m very easy to care for, I eat five meals a day, with occasional midnight snacks. Then I usually like to buy some technological products, and I also like to wear new clothes. Emotionally, you definitely won’t have problems dating me, whatever personality you want, I can satisfy.”
Henry felt that opportunities were reserved for those who were prepared!
If he couldn’t catch this rich woman in front of him right now, how could he live off women?
After hearing Henry’s words, the lady laughed with seductive eyes.
She pulled her leg back, then supported her chin with both hands, exposing a patch of skin on her chest to Henry’s eyes.
“So are you loyal?”
“That involves my professional ethics. During the period of being kept, I can even refuse to communicate with female mosquitoes, there will only be you in my eyes.”
“Hmm, that does sound quite good. In that case, let’s go home.”
Saying this, the lady picked up the suitcase beside her, having Henry follow her home.
“Wait a moment, I need to use the restroom.”
Henry got up and walked toward the restroom in the back.
And the lady stared at Henry’s retreating figure, the smile on her face gradually disappearing.
She had just gotten off the train when she heard that her daughter had recently been getting close to the abandoned son of Rumelter.
Although as a mother, she didn’t want to interfere with her daughter’s choices.
But the other party’s identity was sensitive, easily causing many rumors.
However, more importantly, she didn’t really like Henry as a person.
She heard the other party lacked magical talent, which wasn’t a problem. But he at least needed to do something in other areas to change people’s impressions.
In her view, Henry not only failed to do so, but also fantasized about living off women.
No matter how much she usually spoiled her daughter, this time she wouldn’t allow her daughter to choose Henry!
She turned her head to look in the direction Henry had left.
How come so much time had passed and Henry still hadn’t appeared?
She glanced at the server who had initially served Henry, who respectfully nodded, then walked toward the restroom.
But very quickly, she ran out.
“Lady Reina, he seems to have run away!”
“Oh? Are you saying everything he said to me just now was fake? The purpose was just to make me let down my guard?”
Reina was somewhat surprised by this.
She had originally thought Henry was just a playboy who couldn’t control his lower body.
If he had really followed her out of the tavern just now, she would have had Henry’s body buried in the soil as waste.
The other people in the tavern didn’t speak out.
They all knew this noble lady’s identity very well.
Reina Noel.
The wife of the Noel family head, and also Sherisa’s biological mother.
As a mother, she didn’t want some yellow-haired delinquent to taint her daughter’s pure heart.
However, she seemed to not quite understand her daughter’s personality, still treating her as a little girl.
Seeing Henry flee the scene, Reina wasn’t angry.
On the contrary, she was quite satisfied with Henry’s actions.
Although Henry had good taste, his lecherous gaze really made it hard for her to feel he was a reliable person.
“Forget it, let’s stop here for today, I’ll go home first.”
“Yes, Lady Reina.”
Lady Reina looked at the crumpled note on the ground and left satisfied.
*****
Henry appeared on the street again wearing different clothes.
Although he was lustful, he wasn’t a sperm-brained person managed by his lower body.
The other party’s various behaviors revealed something was wrong.
If he encountered a beautiful young wife on the street inviting him to spend a spring night together, Henry’s first reaction would be to think he was extremely charming, and his second reaction would be whether the other party was scheming against him.
Henry had no doubt that if he had really agreed to the other party just now, probably each part of his body would have to travel around the entire world.
He touched his pocket and found that after paying tuition, he really didn’t have much money left.
Thinking about how he had spent five Gold Coins just now to gather information, and hadn’t found out even a single hair’s worth.
Henry’s heart was like being cut by a knife, he really wanted to find Luning to vent!
However, calculating the time, he should also be going to Sherisa’s residence as a guest.
What if the rich woman took pity and wanted to spend money on him?
People always need to have dreams!
He walked to the corner of the town, at the end of the alley, a strange shop was open.
A huge bat specimen was placed in front of the door, and inside the shop was pitch black, making it impossible to see what merchandise was actually inside.
Really didn’t know if the boss actually wanted to do business.
Henry stepped inside, and the bell hanging on the door rang accordingly.
He saw various animal specimens placed inside the shop, various potions arranged in the corner, and a huge bookshelf filled with magic books.
It looked like a general store.
“Hmm? A customer has come?”
A hoarse voice rang out from behind the counter.
Immediately after, a pale, thin hand reached out from below.
Those who didn’t know would think the boss was filming a zombie movie.
The other party was a man, under his thick glasses frame he had heavy dark circles, looking like he hadn’t rested for a long time.
“Boss, if you die suddenly while I’m buying things, I shouldn’t be arrested, right?”
