Poaching Talent

When Tyler saw this, she didn't laugh; instead, her face tightened into a tight Chrysanthemum.

He was about to reach out to the guy when a little boy suddenly appeared from behind him.

He puffed out his cheeks, as if he were holding something in his mouth. He was just a three-year-old Sprite. He wobbled over to Tyler and mumbled, "Your Highness, that man asked me to give you this straw hat."

Tyler looked dazed. He picked up the bright green straw hat, somewhat confused, but still put it on.

"Hey, this is perfect, it's quite comfortable..." Tyler happily struck a few poses, then pondered, wondering if that guy was trying to curry favor with him?

"Hmm, that's right, I am His Prince. This person knows my identity and is trying to curry favor with me, but why does this person look so familiar?" Tyler stroked his chin, his memory gradually returning...

then.

Time seemed to stand still.

Tyler's smile gradually froze.

He threw off his green straw hat, revealing a few green weeds on his head, and roared angrily, "William, who gave you the courage to come to Blue Moon Town?"

A fountain flows, birds sing, and flowers bloom.

The Sky Garden continue to display their beauty.

The two young people sitting in the Pavilion seemed to hear something, but they ignored it and instead moved closer and closer...

"Wow, the Mana Crystal are so beautiful! William, are you really going to give them to me for free?" Annie, dressed in a light pink dress, looked like a little money-grubber, blinking her big crescent-shaped eyes as she hugged the three Mana Crystal on the table.

William laughed and said, "This is a gift for my Annie, why would I want money for it!"

As he spoke, William felt his heart pounding wildly, and even felt a pain as if his limbs had been cut off.

With a "whoosh," the two Mana Crystal vanished into thin air, leaving only one gem in Annie's hand, which she examined closely.

William raised an eyebrow. A spatial treasure!

Annie didn't notice anything amiss, and simply raised her eyebrows happily. "It really is Mana Crystal! The Mana inside is so abundant! It will be of great benefit to my Magic training, and it will also be very useful for making some items."

'Ding-dong'

' Annie's favorability towards you has increased to 50 points.'

Annie stared at the Mana Crystal for a moment, then looked disappointed. She looked at William with a helpless expression. "It's a pity there's still too little. It's not very useful. I wanted to use it to decorate my bedroom, and ideally, to create a really, really, really big Magic Formation!"

The little fairy gestured with her hands while laughing, saying, "It would be best if I could soak in Ocean of Mana. My cultivation speed would definitely be very fast then. When I become a true Legendary, even my father..."

Before she could finish speaking, Annie sighed softly, not looking at William again, but instead gazing at the sky and saying, "You know what..."

"What?" William perked up his ears, choosing to be a listener.

It seems that these Mana Crystal, instead of making Annie happier, have stirred up some sad memories, which is a bit of a pain.

"My father is returning to the embrace of the World Tree, but he won't let me go back... He won't let me see him one last time. I really want to go home, I miss him so much... I want to go home..." The girl in front of me was very sad, her eyes glistening with tears, on the verge of sobbing.

The 18-year-old Annie in front of me was sent to the Blackleaf Forest when she was very young.

At the same time, she was accompanied by thousands of Personal Guard.

What this Little Princess lacks is not material wealth, but genuine family affection.

As she spoke, her eyes finally welled up with tears, and pearly tears streamed down her face, quickly soaking her skirt.

William was a little embarrassed. The two didn't get along very well, and he didn't know why Annie was telling him these things.

"Hmm, she can't see through my thoughts?" William suddenly realized.

Annie, who possesses some of the abilities of Unicorn, has the ability to Mind Reading. This is a Skill with a very high threshold for judgment, and it is difficult for anyone of the same level to remain undetected except for a very few with strong Mental Strength.

In her eyes, apart from her elderly father who only showed her familial affection, everyone else was more or less harboring impure thoughts, malicious intentions, or even the desire to antagonize her.

William possessed the dual characteristics of both an NPC and Player, making him completely unfathomable to her, which naturally piqued Annie's curiosity.

There was one more thing he didn't know: after Annie met William last time, she specifically looked up some ancient books, which recorded that only kind-hearted and pure beings could not be detected by Mind Reading.

And so.

Annie didn't have a high level of affection for William, but her curiosity was at its peak.

Of all times, bad Undying.

The news of her father's impending departure had just arrived, and that idiot Tyler was already in heat. It's a miracle this fairy didn't explode on the spot...

"This is a rare opportunity to improve my favorability!" Just as a plan formed in William's mind, another idea popped into his head.

He suddenly remembered that Annie had never appeared before the Player. Could it be that she had secretly returned to Moonlight Forest and then something had happened to her?

Does that mean even if you max out the affinity rating, you still won't be able to bring back the shipbuilding blueprints?

"That's definitely a loss of 3 Mana Crystal." William twitched his lips, but fortunately he wasn't a petty person, just a little heartbroken.

"Well, let's go all the way and comfort this little guy."

then.

William, as if possessed, patted the girl on the shoulder.

Annie looked up, her eyes red, only to hear the guy in front of her say, "If you want to cry, cry louder. I can lend you my shoulder."

"Wah..." The crying was loud, seemingly filled with resentment and longing.

William glanced at her leaning on his shoulder, then looked innocently up at the sky. At that moment, his thoughts drifted far away, lost in thought.

No Personal Guard came to disturb them.

No other sounds came from within.

I don't know when.

The soundproof Barrier has been activated.

And then, who knows when?

Annie stood up again, her eyes slightly red, but she didn't look like a girl who had just cried. With her usual princess-like smile, she asked directly, "William, could you give me some more Mana Crystal?"

"Okay, I brought exactly 99 of them. I hope you'll be happy and joyful forever."

William did not hesitate. Those Mana Crystal were originally meant for her, so it didn't matter even if they didn't achieve any other purpose.

After all, he owns a mine; he's rich and can do whatever he wants.

"What does William want?" Annie asked with a smile.

She laughed heartily, yet also with exhaustion. She wasn't stupid; she couldn't access William's memories, but she knew he must have some ulterior motive...

William watched with a heavy heart. If he were to make a request at this moment, he was sure Annie would grant it.

Perhaps this will strengthen my resolve to return to Moonlight Forest?

then...

He made up his mind and revealed a relaxed smile, "I just wanted to give them to my little sister. Your brother's family is rich; I could give you 999 more without any problem!"

However...

"What?" Annie's voice trembled slightly.

William laughed, "I just want you to come with me to Dawn City for a stroll. I want to show you around. Staying at home all day will make even a fairy go silly."

This moment.

He patted her little head.

The girl's life seemed to have come alive again.

Annie even thought that William, who was younger than her and whom she always called "William brother," was her... ray of hope.

Maybe.

Her future shouldn't be plunged into endless darkness so early; it should be infinitely bright.

Undeniably...

William is a man driven by self-interest, and he's willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals.

But when he's not in Desolation, the tiny bit of kindness in his heart is always magnified infinitely, rather than turning him into a despicable monster.

"It's just shipbuilding blueprints, I'll think about it some more, think about it some more..."

William, whose head was about to explode, stood beside the horses, staring blankly at the Elf who were moving house en masse.

He felt like he was being watched, because this was definitely a large-scale poaching operation.

Who knew Annie would suddenly agree?
