Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 30 Ruirui
After the establishment of the Solomon Empire, Eve, as a founding hero, accepted the title awarded to her.

The reason was simple: he coveted the Duke's high salary and subsidies.

After all, Eve not only had one organization to support, but also a number of orphanages and other charities. Some of these charities were founded by Eve herself during the war, while others were left over from Mikhail's time, placing considerable financial pressure on Eve. Furthermore, due to her lack of management and operation skills, and the wartime situation, these charities had been struggling with limited sponsorship and donations, and were chronically struggling to make ends meet.

After the establishment of the Empire, Solomon had attempted to take over these charities, but Eve had refused. They provided Eve with a solid foundation and served as a vital source of talent for the Rose Society; he couldn't abandon them simply for money. Despite being rejected, Solomon remained willing to provide financial assistance, significantly alleviating his financial burden.

Eve knew that she had no management skills or business talent, so she handed these things over to the Rose Society and recruited some talents to manage them. She would only go to take a look occasionally. After the war subsided, Eve had more free time and went there more often.

"Your Highness!"

The little girl raised her gloved hands and waved them as she ran towards Him, leaving a trail of distinct footprints on the uncleaned snow. Her scarf hid her smile but could not hide her joy.

"Your Highness," Erinye hugged Eve and said, "Your Highness, I miss you so much. Why didn't you come to see me for so long?"

"It wasn't that long," Eve flicked her forehead and said with a smile, "It's only been a month."

"It's been a long time. Didn't His Highness say that a single day apart feels like three years? If you count it that way..." Erenia counted on her fingers for a moment, then said dejectedly, "Anyway, it's been many, many years."

"You're just a chatterbox," Eve said with a smile, "If I don't come to you, can't you come to me?"

"Is it the same if I'm looking for His Highness or if His Highness is looking for me?" the little girl said, hands on her hips. "Did His Highness come to see me specifically?"

"Yes, next time. I happened to be passing by today and came to see the children." Eve said, pulling her cloak together.

"What?" Eirene muttered, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and seeing each other today is just a bonus."

Eve walked into the orphanage. All the way there, Eirene kept chirping like a bird. Eve didn't mind her noise and played with her until night.

At night, Eve walked home alone without looking for a carriage or using her extraordinary abilities.

The winter night was very cold, the temperature lower than during the day, and the wind was stronger. The cold wind blew against his face, and the angel was not afraid of the cold, but he still tightened his clothes.

Eve walked forward in the wind with her head down, and suddenly saw a pair of brown eyes in the darkness.

He stopped and quietly approached.

A black kitten seemed to have merged into the night. It huddled in the corner, hoping that the wall could protect it from the wind and snow. It tucked its hands under its body, glanced at Eve, then closed its eyes again and lowered its head.

Eve squatted down and stretched out a hand to call it, but the black cat seemed to have telepathy and opened its eyes when Eve stretched out her hand. Its brown eyes were as beautiful as honey.

It limped to Eve's side and rubbed her hand as if to please her.

Eve touched its little head and found its body was a little cold, so she picked it up. The cat was very well behaved in her arms. She looked carefully and found that except for one leg that could not move, there were some bite wounds and scratches on its body.

He gently stroked the wound, and as He moved, the wound slowly disappeared.

This kitten must have been wandering for a long time. It is very thin, but its fur is not messy and looks well taken care of.

Eve took off her cloak and wrapped the kitten, then returned home through the mirror and told the housekeeper to bring some chicken breast and goat's milk. There wasn't much of a pet-related industry developing at the time, and there was no cat food. Fortunately, Eve had always loved cats and had watched many cat-related videos in her previous life, so she knew a little about raising cats, at least what cats could eat.

Eve placed small bowls of chicken breast and goat milk in front of the cat.

"Come," Eve said to the kitten nestled by the fire, "have something to eat."

The kitten stood up shakily with its injured leg, sniffed the bowl, and then licked the goat milk with its tongue.

Eve watched the kitten eat and stroked the top of its head with a finger.

"If you eat my food, you're my cat," Eve pinched the cat's ears and said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent. I want to give you a name, what should I give you?"

Eve thought anxiously for a moment, then said in frustration, "Why not just call me Zhou Mingrui? I think you look a lot like your uncle. Foreigners seem to have a tradition of inheriting their elders' names, which makes sense. No, it seems like you should inherit your father's name..."

"Forget it," Eve gave up thinking and said decisively, "Just call her Ruirui."

"Meow~" The kitten finished eating the food, raised its head and called softly to Eve.

"Looks like you agree," Eve rubbed its little head, "so I'll call it Ruirui."

"Are you full?" Eve held up a finger on her right hand and two fingers on her left hand. "If you're full, meow once. If you're not, meow twice."

"Meow~meow~"

"Wow," Eve rubbed Ruirui's little head and turned around to get it some chicken breast and goat milk, "You are so smart."

The girl propped up her chin and watched the cat eat, thinking about what potion to give it.

As the King of Angels, hundreds of years were enough for him to know most potion formulas. Furthermore, Eve had also seen the Blasphemous Slate. He knew almost all low-sequence potions, most mid-sequence potions, and even a fair amount of high-sequence potions.

Eve compared and screened them one by one according to her own requirements.

The first requirement was longevity. He hoped Rarity would stay with him for a long time. However, this wasn't a mandatory requirement. As an angel, he had many ways to extend a cat's lifespan, including potions, curses, and extraordinary items.

The second requirement is speaking. Except for the audience and other channels, most other channels require you to become a demigod before you can speak.

The third requirement, of course, was that the roleplay and promotion rituals must not be harmful to the environment. This was entirely individual, but the path had a profound impact on the inner self, so Eve had included this requirement.

After a final round of scrutiny, Eve decided on "pharmacist."

The "Pharmacist" path is the path of the vampires, with a long lifespan. Eve also knows the formula for Sequence 4. A Sequence 4 Sorcerer King can easily live for over a thousand years, and if he extends his life through sleep, he can live for over three thousand years. A few thousand years is more than enough time for Eve to find the Sequence 3 formula.

Eve did what she said and went to find Adam early the next morning. After all, it was much more dangerous for animals to drink potions than for humans, so a comforting "audience" was necessary.
