What a luxury...
Ron was secretly speechless.
This heating magic circle has no switch and is considered useless after one use.
A Elemental Stone costs at least 10 gold coins to start with, and the fire type is even more expensive, but it ends up being used to heat hot pots?
Is this the life of an emperor in feudal society?
Love it, love it.
If the daily use of Elemental Stone is promoted, it will basically be a drop in the bucket based on the current collection volume.
But if it is only provided to Andre III for one person to use, it will not be used up even if it lasts a lifetime.
If Ilya, who wholeheartedly wants to promote the magic circle to the general population, sees this scene, he will probably have the urge to throw Andre III into the hot pot.
"That's really convenient..." Ron said, touching his conscience.
It's similar to an induction cooker, but it's disposable.
Waste.
The two of them were eating hot pot and drinking wine.
Under Andre III's deliberate guidance, the two of them started talking about Ron's life in Chaos City, to Andre III's first time eating hot pot, to the father's nostalgia for his late concubine, and finally to Elemental Cards.
"The Elemental Cards you invented is quite interesting. It has become very popular among the nobles recently." Andre III wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, "I have also learned about your Legendary Kill. Recently I heard that you have created another War of the Gods?"
"Yes, they are all gadgets."
"Do you have this gadget with you? If you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you just let me see it?"
"Of course. But War of the Gods requires four people to play..."
"It doesn't matter, isn't Sister Sylvie here? Let Mia come over."
So ten minutes later, in a reception room in the side hall, Andre III, Ron and Sylvie were sitting around a square table.
The maid opened the door and brought in Princess Mia.
"Have you met your father... huh?" Mia saluted after entering the door. When he saw Ron and Sylvie, his expression was obviously stunned.
"Mia, come and sit." Andre III waved to her.
Mia sat down on his father's right side in a daze, looked at a pile of strange square cards on the table, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is War of the Gods invented by Ron. Like Elemental Cards, it is also used for entertainment." Andre III explained patiently, his attitude towards Mia was completely different from that of others, "This game requires four people, and there is exactly one missing, so I asked you to come over."
"That's it." Mia's eyes lit up. As soon as she heard that it was something invented by Ron's brother, she immediately became interested.
So Ron started to explain the rules to Andre III and Mia, and then the four of them officially started.
Andre III believes in God of War, and Mia believes in God of Healing, so their "lai Zi" are respectively the "Twin Blades" brand and the "Holy Light" brand.
The specific battle situation will not be detailed yet, but Sylvie is still the same as before, and its combat effectiveness is very reassuring.
Mia is the first time to play, and Ron is her new home, so she has basically no gaming experience.
However, Mia is still very involved and obviously likes this game mechanism.
So after a whole round of fighting, novice Andre III became the biggest winner.
When the last round was over, Mia angrily overthrew his own cards and said coquettishly to Andre III: "Father, please let me do it~ I have never won before~"
"Haha, I'm just lucky." Andre III watched Ron overturning his own cards, without letting the cards be exposed, and then pushing the pile of cards into chaos, with an unknown smile on his face, "Ron, you obviously created the game yourself, but why do you rarely win?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
Ron looked at Andre III, with a modest smile on his face, and said meaningfully, "Some things, if you are not interested in it, it doesn't matter whether you win or not."
Sylvie glanced at Ron, then looked at Andre III out of the corner of his eye.
"You are open-minded." Andre III suppressed his smile, rubbed the "Twin Blades" and "Holy Light" cards that represented Church of the God of War and Church of the God of Healing, and finally said slowly, "But people always change."
After hearing what Andre III said, Ron sighed helplessly in his heart.
He lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "Then let time verify it."
Mia's suspicious eyes shifted back and forth between the two of them, wondering whether the conversation between his brother and his father was about War of the Gods or something else.
Only Sylvie understood the deep meaning of the two people's words, but at the moment she was just looking at the cards on the table, wondering if she could start the next one quickly.
After the entertainment activities, Ron and Sylvie walked out of the side hall.
The two got into the carriage and drove slowly away from the palace.
Ron looked through the car window at the top of the Starwatch Tower, which was shimmering in the night. I thought, standing at the highest point and looking at the entire empire, would the scenery I saw be completely different?
Everyone would yearn for that kind of scenery.
Even if it is not yearning, at least it will be curious.
If someone says at this time that they are not interested in the scenery from high places at all, will it only give people the illusion of sensationalism?
But he really has no interest...
Why is communication between people so difficult?
"Your Highness Ron." Sylvie watched the carriage drive out of the palace gate and asked, "Are you really... not interested in that seat?"
"Ha..." Ron slumped in his seat, looking out the window at the night speechlessly, "If I say I'm not interested, will you believe me?"
"But if you are really not interested, why do you want to come back to Imperial Capital?" Sylvie asked seriously.
"..." Ron looked at Sylvie and sighed with a sincere tone, "If I said that I really just want to come to Imperial Capital to open a Flower Shop store, would you believe me?"
Sylvie was silent for a moment, neither shaking his head nor nodding.
Because now, she really doesn't understand His Highness Ron's true attitude.
"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Ron waved his hand impatiently, "Anyway, after I finish opening the store, I will deal with the hot pot restaurant and Elemental Cards's affairs, and then I will go back to Chaos City."
"Everyone comes to question my motives. I'm not a repeater. Do I have to come to them one by one to explain to them?"
"This Imperial Capital is not a gentle and lovely young lady. Does everyone like to hang out here?"
"If it weren't for the purpose of spreading the goddess's plants here and benefiting the people here, who would be wasting their time here!"
"My little Nora is still in the store waiting for me to come back and ask for a hug!"
Ron's dissatisfied grumbles echoed in the carriage.
Sylvie kept silent, completely confused about His Highness Ron's true purpose.
If all this is just a disguise for His Highness Ron, that would be really awesome.
