Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

The two of them sat down on the sofa, just like Edward and Argyle.

“Then it’s decided! I’ll go tell Father right now,” Argyle said excitedly. “There are still two days until the 10th, so everyone should get ready and make sure nothing goes wrong at the last minute.”

Are you ready...?

What do I need to prepare to attend an auction?

Clothes? It's not a banquet, he could go there in his beach shorts and it would be fine.

He doesn't need to carry any money; his name is an invisible, bottomless check.

Before it officially begins, Carlos must have a list of auction items. We should take a look at it first to get a general idea. That's what we need to do.

And there's more...

He thought about it carefully: "Why don't we bring Morey and May along too? Let them see the world."

Although he had never seen the world before, he was only four years old when "The All-Powerful Hand" was held again three years ago.

However, this did not stop him from bringing Morey and the other person along.

"I can buy them some things they want later to improve the strength of my future subordinates. It's decided then!"

After the group parted ways, Domi spent some time finding Catherine, who was cleaning a guest room.

"Domi, what are you going out to do again? Isn't it better to stay home?"

"Hey, never mind that, just get me a car ready, something urgent has come up!"

He could go over wearing floral beach shorts and a floral shirt, but Morey and May couldn't.

Already feeling inferior because of his background, seeing such a glamorous scene and people dressed up in their finest clothes, wouldn't he just bury his head in the ground and become a peep-a-boo?

Therefore, it is necessary to give them a makeover and use their financial power to physically boost their self-esteem.

Chapter 78, Section 77: Seeing Other Sides of the World

In the city center ring, there is a tailor shop with a long history.

An elderly man wearing a monocle and dressed impeccably was measuring Morey and May's bust and waist.

Despite his gray hair and advanced age, his back remains ramrod straight, demonstrating his extremely high standards for himself.

It was this age-old requirement that allowed the tailor shop to thrive under his leadership.

Countless socialites wear clothes made by this tailor shop called 'Sigma'.

They specialize in men's formal wear, but they also make women's, just not as well-known.

After measuring and recording their measurements, I put them away and then showed them the printed model.

"Gentlemen, would you like to use a ready-made pattern or have one custom-made?"

"Let's use what's readily available. Time is tight, so it'd be best to have it done by the day after tomorrow. Please." Morey made the decision quickly.

“Me too!” Mei chimed in.

"No problem, these are the ready-made patterns. Please choose one yourself. I must remind you that although most people order custom-made, some people do choose ready-made, so there is a possibility of wearing the same outfit as someone else. Please be aware of this..."

Domi sat to the side, silently observing the two of them.

After about a week of adjustment, even though Morey had significantly fewer opportunities than May, May seemed to have become completely subservient to Morey.

Despite being only two years older than him, Morey has already shown his maturity. He can do almost everything himself and do it well, which is why May trusts him a lot.

He seemed to treat Mei quite well as well.

Domi didn't see this as a bad thing. It was acceptable for the two to be tied together. He didn't need to use any imperial tactics, sow discord, or stimulate growth in this situation.

After all, Mei became more capable and cheerful as a result, didn't she?

He stood up and said goodbye to the store manager:

"Then you go ahead with your work, manager. We have to take our leave now."

"Yes, young master. I will have my son deliver it to the manor after it is finished. Please do not worry."

"I've always trusted your service. I'm leaving now."

As the doorbell rang again, they left the shop.

"Sir, where should we go next?" Morey asked.

At this point, Domi's identity had already been revealed to May.

For a week, not only was Morey constantly probing and checking every aspect of May's life, but he also sent the intelligence department of Fomalhaut to thoroughly investigate May's background.

After confirming that no questions were asked, that Mei was indeed quite pitiful, and that she was truly naive and innocent, he allowed Morey to reveal his true identity to Mei.

She was utterly shocked after hearing this, and could not believe that the legendary second-generation official would actually go on an adventure with him and save her life!

So much so that she feels a bit apprehensive whenever she sees Domi now.

"there."

Domi looked up and pointed to the towering man-made tower:

"Giant Tree, ordinary adventurers can only move around in a fixed space. If they want to go to a higher level, they must have the corresponding status."

"Countless people spend their entire lives without ever seeing the view from the top of the giant tree. Don't you want to take a look?"

Beneath his grey top hat, Domi's lips curved into a confident smile, like a mysterious knight who would lead them to the Garden of Eden they had never dared to imagine.

Morey and May both swallowed hard.

At the very top of Bloomfield Territory lies a heavily guarded area, so high that even dignitaries and nobles cannot ascend it; its difficulty is comparable to climbing to heaven.

Even if Morey, who has been struggling at the bottom of society, tries his best his whole life, he will still be stuck at the bottom.

If the Light Shield family had not yet declined, Mei might have had a chance to go up there once, but given her previous status, she never even considered it.

But now, someone has appeared out of nowhere and brazenly tells them, "Want to go up? No problem, you can go up anytime."

That would be so unexpected.

Upon arriving inside the 'giant tree,' which is the mage tower, they entered the central floating elevator that leads directly to the top floor. As the hatch closed, the elevator began to slowly rise...

"Do you know what worldly experience is?" Domi asked, standing in front of the two men with his back to them.

Morey thought for a moment and said, "To be able to eat luxurious meals and live like an aristocrat?"

"Saved the world?" Mei said.

Domi shook his head and said:

"What you call worldview is one aspect of the world you have seen."

"I can eat delicacies every day, enjoy wealth and luxury at my fingertips, appreciate precious works of art, and listen to a symphony orchestra play a piece just for me. This is my worldly experience."

"But I can't tell whether the crops in the fields are wheat or chives, I don't know how the price of an egg fluctuates between morning and evening, or what means we should use to survive in a poor and difficult environment... I don't know any of these things, but you do. That's your worldly experience."

"Saving the world is the experience of heroes; everyone has their own experience."

"Proust, who had never traveled far due to asthma and had never seen the world, wrote the masterpiece 'In Search of Lost Time.' There was a doctor named Kant, who was just a country boy who had never traveled far, yet he profoundly influenced our medical technology today."

"Only a fool would say that someone is ignorant or unsophisticated."

"So there's no need to feel down because others say you're unsophisticated, because they're the real fools."

"However, that's not enough. You also need to know what it truly means to see the world:"

Having seen the best, I am not elated by external gains;

Know the worst, and do not grieve for yourself;

Amidst a profusion of flowers, my lofty aspirations remain undiminished;

A person with profound knowledge does not boast or talk big.

I believe you two can both do the following three things, but the first one is something you haven't had the chance to practice yet. So, taking this opportunity, I'd like to show you the view from the highest point, where you can stand at the summit and survey all the mountains below!

Domi turned around and adjusted the brim of his hat.

An announcement was broadcast from inside the suspended lifting platform:

[Attention, we are about to reach the top of the magic tower... Attention, we are about to reach the top of the magic tower...]

His arms stretched out like an eagle spreading its wings. At the same time, the tightly closed door slowly slid to the sides, and the gale from above the clouds swept in, blowing their hair wildly.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Domi said proudly, "welcome to the highest level in the world!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and stepped back off the platform, giving Morey and May the most expansive view.

Their feet trembled as they walked out, and what came into view was a flawless blue sky, with the rising sun hanging on the distant horizon, and the clouds that were once far away now within reach.

If you bend down slightly, you can see the town on the ground below the clouds, which looks like an anthill.

This situation is exactly as Domi described.

Morey's lips trembled silently:

"One must climb to the summit to survey all the lesser peaks... Having seen the best, one remains unmoved by external gains." Considering Domi's character and conduct...

"Sir, I understand!"

Chapter 79, Section 78: The Dragon's Nest

On the second floor of the Nightwish Tavern, in a converted multi-functional office.

Mei was already dressed up. At the age of eighteen, she was already quite beautiful. With just a little dressing up, she could look stunning, let alone dressed up for an occasion. She completely captivated Morey.

He was certain that Mei was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, apart from his mother.

Especially her faintly visible purplish-red pupils, paired with her harmless face, made her both innocent and alluring.

It's hard to imagine how these two words could appear in the same person, but he just had that feeling.

And yet this very beauty was now adjusting his clothes in front of the full-length mirror. The large expanse of snow-white skin was particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the formal attire, making the eight-year-old boy, full of vigor and vitality, a little absent-minded, unsure of where to look.
