Chapter 1931 Blackmailed by the Little Princess
When another wooden box was opened, I was moved to tears.
Lying quietly in the wooden box was a pair of yellow and white gloves.
The yellow ones are gold threads and the white ones are silver threads.
This gold and silver thread is not gold or silver, but fine gold and mithril. The material alone is enough to show its high value.
Moreover, this also involves a strong sense of family affection - except for my close relatives, who would care about such details as whether I am wearing gauntlets?
Excitedly, he picked up the gauntlet, and a piece of paper slipped out of it and slowly fell to the ground.
Unfolding the note, there was a line written on it: "This gauntlet is very beautiful, but don't think about it. It is for my daughter-in-law."
My eyes were shaking wildly, and I almost cursed. My heart, which was held high, fell to the ground and fell into more than 300 pieces in an instant. My heart was filled with excitement and blood, and it felt as if I had been thrown into the ice cave of Antarctica. With a hiss, it went cold.
Close relatives? What a fart!
I complained angrily: "My adopted son's gauntlet is gone and I don't know how to help him make a new one. On the contrary, he really cares about his daughter-in-law! You are not qualified at all as an adopted father!"
I was complaining all over the place when I spotted something white out of the corner of my eye. I turned around and saw that where I had placed the gloves before, there was a piece of white paper with writing on it. However, I was too excited just now and ignored its existence.
He picked up the paper angrily, took one look at it, and his expression changed drastically: "Are you complaining desperately and saying bad things about me? Haha, you don't even have to think about it, I knew it would be like this, you You must be complaining that I treat my daughter-in-law better than my son, right?"
Seeing this, I subconsciously snorted: "Isn't it true? Phoenix already has a pair of gloves, and you gave her another pair. Look at me again. In order to prevent the ancient writing from being revealed, I had to wrap my hands with bandages. .”
I was suddenly stunned: Oh, why should I wrap it with a bandage? During this time in Fort Vicky, I have every chance to forge another pair of gauntlets!
Turning his attention back to the note: "That's because my daughter-in-law is in Moonlight City and cannot enjoy the services of the blacksmith master anytime and anywhere. And you, my dear adopted son, during the time you are living in Fort Vicky, you In addition to eating, sleeping, practicing sword skills, and condensing killing intent every day, I just wander around, and occasionally go to the secret realm to kill a few waves of monsters. You have done so many things, but the only thing I haven't seen is that you visit the blacksmith master and ask someone to help you create a weapon. A suitable pair of gauntlets!”
After reading this, the corners of my mouth twitched, and a drop of sweat slid down my forehead - sweat from a guilty conscience.
Well, it was my fault. People say that those who are near the water first get the moon. But I was lucky. Opportunities were everywhere like floor tiles, but I turned a blind eye. In the end, I blamed others for not caring about me!
I feel ashamed of myself just thinking about it.
Continue reading: "As a father, I am very worried about having such a careless son."
He sighed in shame and apologized.
"Worrying is a lot, but it also makes me experience the feeling of being a father. Although this feeling is a bit tiring, it gives me more happiness and pride. Therefore, I want to reward you, my dear Yi. Son, your reward is inside the partition of this wooden box."
Are there rewards?
I was immediately overjoyed.
I couldn't wait to open the partition, and a pair of silver-gray gauntlets came into view. This was - meteorite gloves!
Next to the meteorite gloves, there was still a piece of paper, unfolded gently, and it read: "Using the meteorite you sent, weaved it after melting the silk. Silver gray is always more solemn than yellow and white. Moreover, its material is tougher than adamantine and mithril, and it is enough to withstand most powerful attacks. In order to test its toughness, I specially ordered the national power to attack it in turn. It can't be damaged even if hit."
Can it withstand the full blow of the country's power? !
Then this is really a good thing!
At the bottom of the note, there is a line of small words attached: "The Mithril Armor will be produced after a period of time. Whatever style and pattern you like, you can ask your daughters-in-law to contact me through the call crystal."
As expected of my adoptive father, he is thoughtful!
I gave a thumbs up to the note and praised it repeatedly.
The sleeve of the meteorite glove is very long and can cover the biceps. It looks a bit nondescript when worn, but it is the best equipment for covering up ancient writings.
The airship arrived at the base at noon the next day.
After getting off the airship, I ordered someone to carry the box, and I ran all the way home.
He rushed into the house without having time to say hello to anyone. He rushed up to the second floor and rushed into a room that was used as a storage room. After a while of rummaging around, he found the long-lost private money. He opened his pocket, counted the number, and determined what was going on. Not even a single gold coin was missing, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, I found little Princess Analetta peering in, her big, smart eyes constantly looking at the money bag in my hand.
Carrying the money bag behind my back in embarrassment, I cleared my throat and said, "It turns out to be Her Royal Highness, the little princess. What are you doing here?"
The little princess blinked and smiled slyly: "Let me see if you have any inappropriate behavior such as hiding a girl in a golden house."
"Huh?" I frowned: "How is that possible?"
"Well, Jiao didn't find it, but I saw a bag of yellow and orange things~" She deliberately drew an exaggerated circle in front of her: "It's such a big bag~"
I was sweating profusely: "This... can you pretend you didn't see it?"
"Eh?" She blinked mischievously: "I saw it, I saw it with my left eye, and I saw it with my right eye. What can you do to me? Do you want to kill me and silence me? Come on, come on!"
As she spoke, she puffed up her small, flat breasts.
Faced with her rogue behavior, I gave in: "Okay, tell me, what do you need to do to pretend you didn't see it?"
"Hmm~~~" She put her index finger on her chin, thought for a while, rolled her eyes, and said, "Give me half, and I'll pretend I didn't see it!"
"Impossible!" I almost blurted out: "Do you know how hard I worked to save these!"
"I don't know." The little princess shrugged: "I don't care either. Anyway, I saw it. You can either kill me to silence me or give me half. It's your choice~"
"Let's change the conditions." I thought for a while and tried: "How about I give you a box full of snacks?"
She snorted disdainfully: "Don't think you can fool me with a box of snacks. I also know the price. It's only half of your bag of gold coins. Not to mention buying a box of snacks, even buying a snack shop is not enough." Surprising!"
Wow, this little girl is so smart!
I thought: "Well, let's add another box of snacks. What do you think?"
The little princess shook her head: "Add five more boxes of candies and pastries, and I will reluctantly agree to it."
"make a deal!"
