Stella explained the reason generously.

"This...Stella niece, I'm afraid this does not comply with the competition regulations!" Aldin was surprised.

He is not able to choose a candidate, but is planning to delay it for a few months, and then watch Storm Territory's government affairs become a mess.

As for the fairness of the competition, other second sons may receive secret help from their families, but Berick Family, who is extremely poor, has nothing to worry about.

"This is your competition, not mine. It's none of my business. I just need to finish giving him the gift in return!" Stella replied expressionlessly.

"Okay! Okay! Then give him a servant!" Just when Aldin was about to say something, the Earl shook his head helplessly and spoke.

In the view of the Earl, this competition is held just for his daughter. Now, it will naturally follow the flow of events as to what his daughter likes.

"Thank you very much, father!" Stella said no more and thanked the Earl.

"Miss, Three-Colored Chicken has been stewed and delivered!" At this moment, Lina called softly at the door.

"Send it in!" Stella ordered.

"Yes, Miss!" Lina heard this and took the chicken soup from the servant, and then carefully delivered it to the Earl's desk.

"Sir, this is what the lady ordered you to stew!"

"Oh? Haha! Okay, okay! My Flower of Tulip has a heart! But where did this Three-Colored Chicken come from!" Lord Count smiled from ear to ear.

Even though his daughter was deliberately keeping a straight face at this time, the earl knew that this was just a matter of anger between his daughter and him, and he was still thinking of him in his heart.

"Sir, this is what Sir Nalant gave to the lady. There are only two Three-Colored Chicken. The lady ordered them to be stewed for you to eat!" Lina had forgotten the previous explanation from his lady, and instead highlighted the lady's filial piety in disguise.

"Oh, that Nalant gave it to you? Then Stella, you can eat some yourself!" Lord Count was slightly surprised, but of course he felt more comfortable.

"I don't like eating greasy food lately! In order to avoid waste, I will give it to my father to eat!" Stella glared at Lina in annoyance. She had just told her, but she didn't follow it.

After a pause, Stella's purpose of coming here has been completed, and he immediately said, "Father, I will leave first!"

After saying that, without waiting for the count's reply, Stella took Lina and left the study.

"Oh! This daughter! I originally wanted to discuss her birthday party later, but it seems there is no need to discuss it with her!" Lord Earl smelled the fragrant Three-Colored Chicken soup, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Lord Earl, just now Stella's niece's proposal..."

"Aldin, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll let the butler handle it later!" Lord Count interrupted Aldin's words.

"Yes, then I'll take my leave first!" Aldin looked a little ugly and said goodbye with his head lowered.

"Go!" The Earl nodded, and at this time all his attention was focused on the chicken soup sent by his daughter.

"Bastard!" After leaving the castle, Aldin on the carriage finally couldn't hold it back and cursed loudly!

"Why on earth would Stella help that unlucky second son?" After venting his anger, Aldin couldn't help but frown and think again.

He has a hatred for the Berick Family, and this competition has cheated Nalant. No matter who can win the competition among the several sons, Nalant is definitely not what he wants to see.

"Sir, you are back!" In East City a luxurious manor, Boris's carriage slowly stopped, and the servant immediately stepped forward to serve him. "Sir, there is a guest in the manor today, from Blackiron Earldom. The Demus butler has already invited the guest into the manor."

"Blackiron Earldom?" Aldin frowned slightly, already having a guess about the identity of the visitor.

However, the two parties did not agree at the beginning to send someone to come after completing the entrustment, because this would most likely attract the attention of others.

Thinking of this, Aldin quickly walked towards the manor and came to the manor's reception hall. As expected, he saw the housekeeper chatting with a middle-aged man.

"Sir! You are back!"

"The villain Charlie is a subordinate of Lord Quinte. I have met His Excellency Viscount Aldin!"

"Why did Quinte send you here?" Aldin was not in the mood to be polite to him and asked directly.

"Your Majesty the Viscount, this is the letter Quinte asked me to forward to you!" The person named Charlie handed over the letter.

Aldin took it and checked it immediately.

The more he looked, the deeper his frown deepened.

"How could it be that after more than a hundred barbarians entered Storm Territory, there was no news?" The content of the letter was none other than that Quinte described his plan to plot against Storm Territory, as well as the final result.

After Aldin saw it, he thought it was a joke at first. Quinte wanted to embezzle the deposit of ten gold coins.

But then I thought about it, if Quinte really wanted to swallow his gold coins, why bother sending someone to Tulip Territory?

Just pretend that nothing happened.

More importantly, Quinte wanted to ask him to help Charlie and others find a reasonable identity to sneak into Storm Territory to check the situation.

Charlie Although only one person has entered the manor to look for him, he has actually brought more than twenty people, who entered Tulip Territory disguised as a caravan.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Quinte later sent people to investigate Storm Territory, but unfortunately they all failed to return, so he sent us here to try to investigate from Tulip's side!" Charlie replied.

"Arrange a reasonable identity? Storm Territory is so remote. No matter what identity you enter, more than twenty of you will probably be very eye-catching." Aldin frowned slightly.

Naturally, he was willing to tie up this favor, because Stella's actions today gave him a great sense of oppression.

And more than a hundred barbarians Aldin also know what it means, so he is more anxious than Quinte to know what happened to Storm Territory.

"Sir, I heard that Storm Territory's salt and dried salted fish have attracted a lot of attention from civilians during this period. There are already many civilian caravans preparing to set off for Storm Territory!"

The last time Nalant sent a caravan, the news about salt and dried salted fish did not attract much attention from Tulip City. After all, the journey was still quite far.

But the caravan that came this time had sold in the territory surrounding Tulip City, so Demus, as the housekeeper today, has also received some news and is preparing to report it to Aldin.

"Is there such a thing?" Aldin said in surprise.

Time flies and several days pass.

"There's still a little bit left! If I work harder, I can become Mid-Rank Bronze Knight!"

Storm Territory, in the back garden of the Baron's castle, Nalant was sitting cross-legged on the ground sweating profusely.

After nearly two months of continuous hard training, plus the assistance of Strengthening Fruit, Warcraft Meat and Flame Crystal, he finally felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck.

At this time, the Battle Qi seeds in his body can no longer accommodate more Battle Qi storage, so he needs to make a breakthrough to advance to the next stage of cultivation and improvement.

But every Battle Qi level improvement can be said to be a sublimation, and it is not easy to break through.

For example, at this moment, Nalant needs to gather all the Battle Qi in the body within one Qi channel, and then rush into the Battle Qi seed with all his strength, using this method to expand the space of the Battle Qi seed.

The pain caused by this process is a bit unbearable, just like putting more than a kilogram of water into an ultra-small skin bag. Who knows the bulging feeling when trying water.
