She stood up. The bookshelves around her were filled with all kinds of books, with ancient and new volumes arranged in an orderly manner, forming the background of the witch lady. The girl held his hand and asked, "What kind of dress does your mother like? Should I be more mature and stable? Or should I wear the old dress?" "No, just wear the new style. Torina and Marenia have both seen mother wearing them, and even mother likes the new style better." Roland said, "No need to be too flashy. There are only five of us. Just dress simply. No need to dress too much." Chapter 123 Dinner In the restaurant, gauze-like curtains add a little privacy. The interior space is spacious and bright, with a symmetrical layout. The dome is high, the crystal chandeliers emit soft light, and the plaster sculptures are intricately carved, decorating the walls and columns. Marika sat in the main seat, chatting softly with her two daughters about recent events. The three of them were talking and laughing, having a great time. She actually wanted to spend more time with them, but her time was always insufficient, so she could only spare a little time and give them a small part.
Many things have come to the fore. Marenya and Torina talked about what happened during the day and studied prayer together. The red-haired girl showed her the prayer. It was a very simple prayer, just a prayer that could make mushrooms grow. A scarlet and corrupt red mist appeared in the center of the palm. As long as the environment was right, the mushrooms would continue to grow. "It's quite interesting." Marika rubbed the girl's head with a smile between her eyebrows. "My sister helped me." Her smile was very quiet, with a hint of illness. "hey-hey." Tolina stood aside, keeping this prayer in mind, ready to give it to the villagers of Platinum Village. My brother really thought it through. Just at this moment, someone else came outside, and two footsteps could be heard, one light and one heavy. The blond young man brought the young girl, who was graceful and elegant. Se Lian's clothes are not overly gorgeous, but reveal elegance in simplicity. Her skirts are like clouds and have delicate texture. That kind of cold magician and femme fatale temperament could not be concealed, forming a unique charm. She raised her head, looked at Marika, then turned to look at the blond young man beside her. "Just call me mother like I do. We will get married sooner or later." He pulled Selian and sat next to Marika. As she walked lightly, her bad-woman aura became more and more evident. Without hesitation, she bowed, leaned forward slightly, and performed the standard Golden Tree etiquette. "Mother, nice to meet you. I'm Se Lian." "I know you."
Marika was very considerate of Roland and spoke in a gentle tone. It was hard to tell that this was a command from God. It was just like a mother speaking to her child. She naturally wouldn't ask all kinds of questions like ordinary parents. Se Lian's entire life experience and information had long been compiled into a book by the Black Blades and sent to her. Even so, the look she gave Se Lian still made the girl feel pressured. That look seemed to push aside her clothes and leave her naked in the air. She had known that meeting Marika would be stressful, and she had prepared herself mentally. However, when it really came to this moment, just one sentence almost made her bow her head. The hand held by Roland provided constant warmth and gave her the courage to continue. He said to Marika, "Mother, when will the food be served? I am hungry." These words successfully improved the atmosphere between the two people and liberated Serenity from the oppression of the Eternal Goddess. The blonde woman smiled and didn't continue to put pressure on Se Lian, which made her feel relieved. "You spent so much time eating snacks in the afternoon, and now you tell me you're hungry?" "Yes." Roland nodded. "You haven't come out of the golden tree for a long time, right? Eat more." With Roland's words, the servants immediately started to work, running around for them. There are rules for aperitifs, napkin folding, and the order of serving dishes, all according to the Golden Tree tradition. It's okay with Marika being here, but today is also the day she meets Seren, so naturally she pays more attention to the sense of ceremony and rhythm control. If a few hundred years had passed and even Roland was no longer the King of Elden, this scene would be worthy of being painted into a mural. As for Tolina and Marenia, they can be said to be acquaintances of Seren. The blonde loli winked secretly at Se Lian at the dining table, revealing a slightly naughty and cute smile. Marennia looked as weak as ever and just nodded to her as a greeting. The atmosphere immediately relaxed. Torina and Marenia showed Roland the prayers they had studied in the afternoon. This was the time for Selin to interrupt. "It's quite interesting, and the requirements are not high. Basically, you just need to learn the prayers for a few days and make sincere offerings, and you can use it." She learned the prayer immediately and understood the principle behind it, but she couldn't use it. Roland also released his hand and asked, "Is it necessary to pray to Marenia? Or is it okay to pray to my mother and Torina?" "Basically, it's necessary." Torina replied, "But, brother, how come you use it so easily?" "Lianlian is my sister. What's wrong with borrowing my sister's law?" Roland blinked. Recalling his unique way of praying, he could use all the golden tree prayers just by shouting "Mom, help me" in his heart. Tolina and Selian both thought that Roland was a genius at prayer. The little girl asked directly: "Brother, do you have the prayer I wrote?" "No." He shook his head. "Isn't this just a simple prayer?" "Okay." Tolina finally felt a little frustrated about praying.
She lowered her head and felt something different about Roland. Perhaps he noticed it, he smiled and comforted his sister. "I have to thank mother and Marenia. If they were gods, I would not be able to use prayers, let alone discover that prayers and magic are essentially the same." "Really?" Torina knew that Roland was comforting her, and the blonde just nodded. Se Lian pondered for a moment, she thought that this prayer must have its purpose. "Is it just for growing mushrooms? Nothing else?" "Well, it's to provide an additional food for cultivation," Tolina replied, "It has no other use for the time being." "That's it." She read it several times and found it more and more interesting. This little prayer had very low consumption and requirements, and was indeed a good way to produce food. The golden tree does not use this method to increase food production. The people who are blessed with gold can just feel the protection of the golden tree. Add to that various dew drops, and as long as there is no shortage of production, there will definitely be a good harvest. This is the golden tree in its prime. While a few people were talking, the dishes had already started to be served. They all used top-quality seasonal ingredients, with exquisite cooking techniques and artistic plating. Caviar, truffles, foie gras are all available, paired with a selection of wines. At this point, the atmosphere became completely harmonious, and Roland breathed a sigh of relief. Marika took only one bite of each and pushed it aside, drinking glass after glass of wine. Naturally, he accompanied his mother to drink and listen to the idle chatter of several people. During this time, Marika spoke very little and just drank with him. Chapter 124 Encounter Soon, the bottle of wine was empty. Roland asked his servant to bring a bottle of good wine so that he could drink with Marika. She looked at Se Lian with a meaningful smile. The first girl he brought should be the one he liked the most. Marika propped her chin up with her hand, looked at Seren, and asked, "Would you like to drink a little?" "A little bit is fine." Se Lian held the glass, and the dark red wine flowed down the wall of the glass and poured into it, emitting an aroma. She usually doesn't drink too much. As a magician, it is important to stay sober. Marika raised her glass and clinked it with Serlian's in the air, and both of them took just a sip. Roland was quite relieved. It was great that nothing like a cheesy TV drama plot happened. The symbolism of this dinner is greater than anything else.
Marika's willingness to meet Serlian and drink a lot of wine with her is enough to represent her attitude. No matter what other people have objections, as long as today's meeting is brought up, they will have to shut up. The Everqueen dotes on her eldest son. This dinner will be passed on to the entire aristocracy through servants. It can be said that the fact that the Eternal Queen Marika approved of Seren would be known to the entire aristocracy of the royal city within one night, followed by the servants, and then the people. In a few days, everyone will know that this little magic apprentice they have been talking about will become Marika's certified wife of Godwin. This matter is basically confirmed. The Everqueen backed Cerion, ensuring that no one dared to raise any objections. Roland certainly knew everything his mother had done for him and kept it all in mind. The dinner was still going on, and the servants were still serving the food and dressing them. Unlike Roland, Marika often uses servants when she eats. He ate for a while, then suddenly remembered something else and asked her about it. "Mother, do you know about Latarn? He was the one who won the recent Star Shattering War alone." "I have heard it." She cut off a small piece of lamb, dipped it in the green sauce, and put it in her mouth. After swallowing her stomach, she continued to ask. "Didn't you handle it well? I've heard about the heroes, generals, and fiefdoms. Now these things are circulating in the royal city. They are already facts. I've already sent out the official notice. You chose a very good place for him, the southern end of Galid, such a large area, but there is no main city. You think so highly of this person?" Obviously, Marika had received Black Knife's report. After reading it comprehensively, she felt that Roland's instructions to Black Knife were completely correct. He nodded and said, “Ratan has a good character, mainly because he is very loyal to the Golden Tree. He is not only loyal to Radagon, but also loyal to the Golden Tree. His idol is my father, Ge Fulei. When the city is built in a while, it will be called Red Lion City. " "Really?" Marika didn't know where Roland got his confidence from. According to Black Knife's report, they had only met for a few days and had a fight. It is said that the win was easy. You can make friends by fighting everywhere. Why didn’t I see Ge Fulei have such an experience before? The conversation became idle again until the dinner was over, when Marika put down her glass, leaned back, and squinted slightly. Roland noticed her movements and asked, "Mother, are you going back to the Golden Tree now?" "Well, there's still work to do."
Marika was in a very heavy mood and did not tell Roland about her troubles. She just placed some hope on Roland and was preparing other things. Don't put too much pressure on him. "Then I'll see mother off." Roland stood up and picked up his coat. It was already dark outside, and the night was covering the border area. The strong light of the golden tree was now so weak that it was difficult to see far away. One could only see what was under their feet.
