Chapter 297
Cheng Yu looked up at the golden tree next to the manor, which was taller than the manor house, with layers of leaves. "How did the golden tree grow so big?"
"It broke through the growth bottleneck and grew so big overnight." Ivennie explained.
The golden tree is different from other trees. Other trees grow gradually over time, while the golden tree slowly accumulates energy. When the energy breaks through the growth bottleneck, it can grow ten or twenty times overnight.
At this time, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old jumped down from the golden tree. She was wearing a light green long skirt, bare white feet, long golden hair, golden pupils, and long elf ears. She looked like Ivennie, and ran to the manor courtyard with a nimble pace like a lively deer.
With her hands behind her back, she carefully hid behind Ivennie and leaned over to look at Cheng Yu and Xilufenni.
Silufenni looked at Ivennie, then at Lily, her beautiful eyes were shocked, "Cheng Yu, this... is this the daughter born from your union with that elf?"
"No, Lily is the tree spirit bred by the golden tree, and she and Ivennie are in a master-servant relationship."
"Is that so~"
Silufenni nodded, thinking that Cheng Yu had a daughter.
"Lily, call Master Cheng Yu quickly."
Ivennie grabbed Lily's arm and pulled the somewhat shy Lily out from behind.
"Master Cheng Yu."
Lily smiled sweetly at Cheng Yu, revealing a row of white pearly teeth.
This Master Cheng Yu is the master of the master, and naturally her master as well.
Cheng Yu touched Ivennie's head, and then touched Lily's head. Not only did they look alike, but they also had similar personalities, like a pair of sisters.
His fingers passed through Ivennie's long green hair, which was very smooth.
"Did anything happen during my absence?" Cheng Yu asked Ivennie.
Ivennie looked at the sky and thought for a while, "Nothing serious, occasionally someone from the book club came to the manor to urge Miss Afra to submit her manuscript as soon as possible."
Pause, "By the way, about ten days ago, an old man in a black robe came here and asked if there was a dragon girl named Meiweier living here."
"Old man in a black robe? What does he look like?"
Cheng Yu was a little surprised. Meiweier should not have many relatives, so why would someone come to ask about Meiweier?
"I don't know. He was wearing a cloak, covering his face. From his voice, he should be an old man."
Cheng Yu turned his head to look at Mei Weier not far away, "Mei Weier, is the black-robed old man that Ivennie mentioned an acquaintance of yours?"
Mei Weier shook her head calmly and said casually, "I have always been alone and have no acquaintances."
However, as soon as this sentence came out, Mei Weier suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "Is the black-robed old man about the same height as Cheng Yu? Is he a little thin?"
"Yes, he is about the same height as Lord Cheng Yu, and a little thin."
Although Ivennie didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, she remembered the other person's height and body shape.
The careless Mei Weier's face suddenly looked a little ugly, and she murmured, "Maybe my enemy has come to my door."
"What enemy?"
This was the first time Cheng Yu heard that Mei Weier had an enemy.
"Do you remember the first time we met? I was seriously injured."
Meiweier reminded Cheng Yu.
After Meiweier's reminder, Cheng Yu remembered that Meiweier had been injured by a very powerful human magician who wanted to take the seventh-level black dragon magic crystal in her body.
Meiweier fled desperately, and her strength dropped from the seventh level to the fourth level.
If Meiweier's strength had not dropped greatly, Cheng Yu would not have been able to take her home as his wife.
With a shudder in his heart, Cheng Yu suddenly realized, "You mean, the old man in black robe is the one who injured you?"
Meiweier nodded.
According to Ivennie's description, it is very likely him.
I don't know how the other party found Bailu Island.
This is difficult.
Meiweier looked at Cheng Yu to see what Cheng Yu's reaction was.
Cheng Yu stood there, frowning, with a solemn face, holding his chin with one hand, looking tangled.
"Hey, human, what are you thinking about?"
Meiweier looked at Cheng Yu's expression and seemed a little worried.
"A human magician who dares to hunt a seventh-level black dragon must be at least seventh-level."
Cheng Yu made a rational analysis.
Meiweier: "Well, then what?"
Cheng Yu: "Such a powerful magician must be very rich, should I kill him directly? Or take him hostage and ask for ransom?"
Meiweier was a little speechless. She thought Cheng Yu was struggling with something, but it turned out that he was struggling with this.
This guy might not have been a chef before, but a bandit.
However, Cheng Yu does have the qualifications to kidnap the other party.
"By the way, how strong is that magician?"
"RealHe is not particularly strong, and is a seventh-level magician. However, he has a magic item specifically designed to restrain dragons - the Golden Dragon Slashing Sword. That sword can not only easily cut the scales of dragons, but also paralyze the dragons. "
Under normal circumstances, a seventh-level magician cannot beat a seventh-level black dragon, but the opponent has special equipment.
The Golden Dragon Slashing Sword has armor-piercing and control effects on dragons.
Cheng Yu rubbed his hands and was very excited. The seventh-level magician is really rich. The Golden Dragon Slashing Sword, such a good thing must be snatched away.
"Eweni, how did you reply to the old man in black robes?"
"I told him that Meiweier went to the Red Moon Empire in the south, not in Bailu Island, and then he left."
Cheng Yu didn't know if the old man in black robes would come to him again. It might be dangerous for Meiweier to face the seventh-level magician with the Golden Dragon Slashing Sword alone. "Meiweier, stay with me during this period of time, don't run around."
"Okay. "
Meiweier suffered a big loss last time, so it's safer to stay with Cheng Yu.
"Where's Aphra?" Cheng Yu asked Ivennie.
"Miss Aphra is in the room on the second floor and rarely goes out."
"She didn't come out to welcome me, so I went to find her."
Cheng Yu walked into the house, went to the second floor, and knocked on the door of Aphra's room.
No one responded.
Pushing the door open, the curtains covered the windows, the light was dim, and there was no one in the room.
"Huh? Why is there no one?"
Afra, a homegirl, shouldn't go anywhere else.
Just when Cheng Yu was confused, Aphra suddenly fell from above and landed on Cheng Yu's back, her snow-white arms wrapped around Cheng Yu's neck, and her sharp fangs scratched the skin of Cheng Yu's neck.
Cheng Yu and Aphra have a high degree of favorability, so Aphra is so close to Cheng Yu.
"Hehe, are you scared? "
Afra laughed like a young girl of seventeen or eighteen.
Just now, she heard Cheng Yu's footsteps coming upstairs. Afra climbed to the top of the cabinet at the door, and when Cheng Yu came in, she fell on Cheng Yu's back to give him a surprise.
Cheng Yu: "You scared me, compensate me for mental damages."
Afra jumped off Cheng Yu's back, wearing a white dress, and her eyes emitting blood-red light in the dim room.
"Just a joke."
Afra hadn't seen Cheng Yu for a month, and she was very happy to see him again.
