"Drink tea."

The owner of the courtyard, Grand Duke of Crystal Wolf Emilyne Wolf Christo, smiled at this distant guest whom she was not familiar with but had dealt with before, and personally poured him a cup of one of the birthday gifts sent by Grand Duke Hussein a few months ago. The production is extremely rare, and the price is so high that it is difficult to measure with money. On the black market, a small bag of tea can even be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins. She said politely and enthusiastically: "Don't be shy, just think of it as returning home."

Mo Tan nodded, and unceremoniously drank the cup of epic consumable that could increase all his attributes by +5. He smacked his lips and sighed, "Sister-in-law, you are so polite. I don't know what good things Ah Xiu did in his previous life to marry a good woman like you in this life."

"Sister-in-law...Puchi."

Emmeline, who found it hard to get used to this title no matter how many times she heard it, was stunned for a moment, then she smiled more sincerely than before, covering her mouth with her hands and smiling: "Let's not talk about the fact that I haven't officially married him yet, why did Mr. Tan Mo emphasize that it was that person who 'did good things in his previous life'?"

Mo Tan shrugged and said as if it was a matter of course, "Because he is a complete jerk in his life. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Since our Regent Prince can pee in the same pot with me, it means that he is a complete jerk through and through."

"cough."

The old steward of the Crystal Wolf family who stood behind Emilyne, the old blood seeker Deku von Christo, who was so trusted that he was even given a noble surname, couldn't help but cough lightly, and his brows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape. Although he knew that this person who once called herself Anne, who was deeply trusted by the Regent and indirectly caused the destruction of the Marshall family, was a little unkempt, he still didn't expect that this person would be so "careless".

Mo Tan looked at Deku innocently and asked with concern: "Old man, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Deku: “…”

"It's okay, Uncle Deku."

Emilyne turned around and smiled at the old butler who was like a close relative in her mind, and said cheerfully, "I don't have many friends of the same generation who I can chat with. Since Mr. Tan Mo is Xiu's confidant, it is reasonable to call him a bastard or my sister-in-law. Besides, Uncle Deku, didn't you say before that... someone is not a good person at first glance?"

Deku smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But he wasn't the regent at that time."

"What happened after he became the regent? He got his fiancée pregnant within a few months."

Mo Tan smacked his lips and said angrily, "Isn't this even more of a jerk!"

Although he was very dissatisfied with Mo Tan's words, Deku was also very unhappy about the fact that Xiu made Emiline pregnant before officially marrying her, so he choked on the spot, and his originally pale face even turned red.

"Oh no, it seems your blood pressure isn't stable, old man."

Mo Tan blinked, shook his head and said, "Hey, I understand, I understand. After all, taking care of a pregnant woman is more than just a physical job. But given your situation, when my sister-in-law comes back to recuperate, you'll have to take care of both the young lady and the little ghost. I'm afraid you'll be exhausted to death."

Deku's face suddenly turned pale, and he said dryly: "No need for Mr. Tanmo..."

"Take it."

But Mo Tan raised his hand and threw a small cloth bag to Deku, and said lazily: "Go back and take good care of yourself. At your age, you still have to do a lot of worrying and strenuous work. You must learn how to maintain your health."

Deku subconsciously caught the small cloth bag thrown by Mo Tan. Just as he was about to decline the other party's sarcastic kindness, he widened his eyes after sensing a certain aura in the rune bag and looked at Mo Tan in doubt: "This is..."

"what is this?"

Emmeline, who had almost never seen an old man lose his composure, was worthy of being a young person, and asked questions faster than the old man behind her.

"A little dregs."

Mo Tan smiled and said nonchalantly, "Just like the garbage that settles at the bottom of the teapot when you wash it. It's tasteless to eat, but it's not a pity to throw it away."

Emmeline was not upset by Mo Tan's somewhat harsh words, but turned to look at Deku who was trembling slightly beside her: "So what is this? Uncle Deku?"

"As Mr. Tan Mo said, this is a piece of 'dregs'."

Deku took a deep breath, his eyes turning scarlet uncontrollably. He said in a stiff voice, "But the source of this dregs is a drop of Bloodseeker's original blood, a drop of... the original blood of a Legendary Bloodseeker."

Emilyne, who had always known that Deku was a blood seeker and had even done research on this group of blood seekers, suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed, "You mean... the original blood of a legendary blood seeker?"

"It's the residue, sister-in-law, the residue of the original blood."

Mo Tan corrected him casually and said calmly, "I have a mistress who, by chance, got a drop of the original blood from 'Ilili Bathory'. As a result, she was too weak to completely digest the power in it. After absorbing all the essence, she was left with these leftovers. I thought she was useless at the time, so I asked for her. It happened that this old man was not in good health, so I gave it to you."

"Ilili Bathory..."

Knowing very well that this name belonged to the strongest bloodseeker in history, and even recorded as the 'True Ancestor' in countless unofficial histories, Emmeline and Deku were both stunned, and finally lost their composure on the spot, freezing in place as if they had been glanced at by Medusa.

It is no exaggeration to say that if what Mo Tan said was true, or at least the part about 'Iliri Bathory' was true, then even if it was just a little bit of residue, it would be enough to be of great benefit to an ordinary bloodseeker like Deku, who, although he had survived to the epic level with his long life, could hardly make any progress at this age and only had a dozen years left to live.

To be more specific, if the old man can absorb the dregs from Ilily Bathory's original blood, then even if he cannot continue to grow in strength, it will be enough to prolong his life under its powerful force and live for dozens or even hundreds of years.

You know, blood is the source of life for the blood seeker, and the vitality contained in it depends on the strength of the blood owner!

At Deku's age, even if he was a Bloodseeker whose lifespan was almost comparable to that of the Immortals, because of the severe injuries he had suffered in the past, no matter how hard he took care of his health, he was destined not to live until Emmeline's child grew up. And ordinary blood, even that from epic or even legendary powerhouses, could not allow Deku, whose lifespan had been extended to the extreme by the Crystal Wolf Family, to live a few more years.

Therefore, without involving the "evil ways", Deku is destined not to live for too long, and the old man's upright character does not allow him to use those despicable means that make people angry.

However, even so, Xiu, who was well aware of Deku's position in his fiancée's heart, secretly thought of a plan after getting engaged to Emmeline. He was prepared to use some means that ran counter to the concepts of "order" and "goodness" to prolong Deku's life in the worst case scenario.

but……

If the blood was not from an ordinary legendary warrior, but from Iliril Bathory, who was widely known as the true ancestor of the Bloodseekers... even if it was just residue, it would be enough for the old housekeeper of the Crystal Wolf family, the closest person to Grand Duchess Emilyne besides her husband and children, to live for a few more decades.

"This... is too expensive!"

Deku took a deep breath, and with trembling hands he handed the rune bag back to Mo Tan, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't accept it."

Obviously, Deku, who knew very well the principle of 'a man who has eaten someone's food should be grateful, and a man who has received someone's favor should be lenient', did not want Emily or even the regent to owe Mo Tan a huge favor because of him.

however--

"Okay, I don't mind. After all, although this thing is of no use to me, it can still sell for some pocket money on the black market after returning to the Free City. And you have lived long enough, old man. It is better to die early and be free than to suffer for another seventy or eighty years."

Mo Tan did not refuse. He just turned his head to look at Aimilin while reaching out to take the bag, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

"Thank you, Brother Tanmo."

Emily smiled, and then she reached out and snatched the bag from Deku before Motan received the "dregs". Then she took a deep breath and bowed to Motan: "I won't tell you how much it can be sold for on the black market. I'll give you some nonsense here. If you don't mind me taking Xiu away, Grand Duke Emily Wolf Christo of the Crystal Wolf owes you a favor, Brother Tanmo."

Mo Tan also laughed and raised his eyebrows and said, "Just the Grand Duke of Crystal Wolf? Not the Regent Princess? Or the Queen of the Violet Empire?" "Just the Grand Duke of Crystal Wolf."

Emily nodded slightly, then winked slyly: "I'm sorry, Brother Tan Mo, but I can't let Xiuwei owe such a big favor to someone as bad as you."

"Tsk, people say that pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years, but I see you are becoming smarter and smarter."

Mo Tan curled his lips, then waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Forget it, forget it. Since it's not a favor from the Regent Princess or Queen Violet, I don't want it. Since you called me 'brother' a few times, I'll consider this as a wedding gift for the two of you."

Emily immediately shook her head and said, "How can that be..."

"A word is settled!"

As a result, at this moment, a resolute shout was heard from a distance. Emmeline and Deku turned around and saw that the person who came was not Emmeline's fiancé, but the Regent of the Violet Empire, Xiu Blaisen.

"Ash!"

"Your Highness..."

Emilyne, clutching the bag of original blood dregs tightly, and Deku, with a complicated expression, immediately went forward.

"Shameless thing."

Mo Tan didn't go forward to greet him, but just raised his hand and made a very unfriendly gesture towards Xiu.

"Don't think too much, old man. My mother and Emmeline's parents died early, and my father didn't even raise a good son. This child has to be taken care of by someone."

Xiu patted Deku's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Only you who can raise a good child like Emmeline can I trust."

"Ash——"

Emily pursed her lips, lowered her head and rested her forehead on her fiancé's not-so-broad chest, muttering in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I took the initiative to ask for Tan Mo's gift."

"Ha, that's right! Did he call me sister-in-law for nothing? Did he call me brother for nothing?!"

Xiu slapped his thigh hard and said angrily: "Even if I am the king, I can only hear you call me good brother when no one is around... Ugh!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

A headbutt knocked her fiancé to the ground. Although he had good physique, he was not as strong as a high-level magic swordsman. Emmeline muttered in shame and anger, then leaned over to pull Xiu up from the ground. With a flushed face, she rubbed his chest and whispered, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

Xiu, who was almost knocked unconscious, immediately comforted her, then hugged Emmeline gently and said softly, "Take old man Deku to the Three-Color Courtyard now and watch him use the things to avoid any more trouble. Sword Master Dantes is playing chess with father over there, so he can help keep an eye on it."

Emmeline nodded vigorously at first, then said with some concern: "Then you..."

"I'm surrounded by [female bees], unless some lunatic wants to kill me, I guarantee that your man won't lose a single hair."

Xiu gently pinched Aimilin's cheek and urged cheerfully, "Alright, alright, go quickly. I'll keep Tan Mo here for dinner tonight. Whether you want to thank me or toast me, wait until then."

"Ok!"

Emmeline nodded obediently, then said goodbye to Mo Tan, dragged Deku out of the crystal courtyard, and ran towards the royal area.

Xiu walked slowly to the other side of Mo Tan, poured himself a cup of tea, and then refilled Mo Tan's cup of tea. He raised his glass to greet him and said sincerely, "Thanks, buddy. I toast you."

"Ah."

Mo Tan picked up the cup casually, raised an eyebrow and asked, "If I drink this cup of tea, will that thing be completely free?"

Xiu's expression was still sincere: "Don't be shameless, you said it was a gift yourself."

"Okay, let's just leave it at that."

Because it was really useless to keep the dregs that Resa Kevos got by accident when digesting the original blood (Ilili Bathory did not take over her body, so there was only a little energy left), Mo Tan did not insist on continuing. He just asked calmly after toasting with Xiu: "What about the fog over the Dark Swamp that I completely solved?"

"Okay, I'll toast you another glass!"

"Do you believe that I will stab you to death right now?"

"Hey, isn't it enough that I support you in the Free City?"

"not enough."

"Damn it...make some conditions."

"Have you heard about the game update?"

"I see, you want my exclusive conditioner?"

"After the construction of the [City of Innocence], the Violet Empire will definitely get involved, right?"

"How is that possible? That's your business as players. Why should I..."

"How many agents have you found?"

"Five alternatives are being investigated."

"Don't inspect it, replace it with my people."
