The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1273 376: Functional

"...I didn't expect to reunite with you here, Miss Castellion," looking into those bright snow-like eyes, Luo Yan knew he couldn't avoid it, so he sighed lightly and said, "How is your father doing lately?"

Ophelia smiled slightly and said politely.

"Just as when you left, his health is still robust. Additionally, when I see you, he asked me to greet you on his behalf, saying he fondly remembers the times he spent talking with you... By the way, I feel the same. During your absence, I've missed your presence every day."

Uh.

Is that how you use 'presence'?

Luo Yan didn't know where she learned it from, but he noticed Professor Hector beside him trying hard not to burst into laughter.

"I'm not sure I deserve such praise, I don't recall leaving such a deep impression on Miss Castellion—"

"May I call you Ophelia?"

"...I suppose that's fine, but—"

"Thank you."

Ophelia's face showed a satisfied smile, her long eyelashes curled like a gentle crescent moon, and her usually serene and elegant demeanor had a rare playful relaxation.

For a moment, Luo Yan didn't know how to respond, so he shrugged slightly, using a sip of tea to mask his awkwardness.

At this moment, Professor Hector, sitting behind the desk amused, finally couldn't help but let out a small schadenfreude laugh.

"Haha... Youth is wonderful indeed."

He found the perfect timing to also pick up his teacup, gesturing with his chin towards the unopened letter on the table, teasingly urging.

"Your Highness, the personal letter from Duke Castellion is still on the table. Aren't you going to take a look? Please don't neglect the Duke's kind intentions."

Luo Yan glanced at him.

This old guy usually acts serious, but he's quite playful at heart.

Without saying much, he reached for the recommendation letter on the table, sealed with the Fire Wax Seal of the Bronze Sea Horse Emblem. On the journey from the Holy City to the Northern Wilderness, Ophelia had kept the letter close, and the envelope seemed to still carry the warmth of the young lady.

Luo Yan unsealed the fire wax and unfolded the letter.

The handwriting on the letter was vigorous and powerful, from none other than Duke Andre Castellion, who wielded power in the Holy City.

[Dear Prince Rocksey Colin:

It's been a long time, I wonder if you have been well lately?

Since you left over a month ago, the citizens of the Holy City have been full of gratitude for your generosity and righteousness, hoping for your early return to this land blessed with Holy Light.

I often hear from the servants in the manor that when Prince Colin was in the Holy City, every day felt like something new was happening, making people look forward to tomorrow involuntarily.

Please allow me to convey, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, our most sincere respect for your contributions to the Holy City and the Empire!

Currently, the Holy Temple Knight Order's plan is progressing steadily and orderly, and we have established over a dozen ports along the coast of the Gana Continent, actively opening new territories in the New World. However, there is a slight blemish, Hell seems to have set its sights on that fertile land, with a Demon King named Egger rising on the Northern Coast. But I believe that in the face of the Empire's iron hoof, that threat is nothing worth your concern.

Additionally, the White Dew District project, spearheaded by your distant relative Sir Dantes, is now on track.

That Sir, using debt as the main axis, harnessed the power of large landlords to eliminate bankrupt tenant farmers and small landlords, and when the large landlords were heavily indebted, he used public opinion, law, and debt traps to remove large landlords who lost feudal legal protection, also teaching greedy citizens a lesson... This land consolidation operation was seamless, truly perfect, it opened my eyes wide!

Currently, the syrup processing base managed by the Dantes Group has commenced construction smoothly, and a new industrial zone centered on high-quality rum is emerging in the outskirts of the Holy City. The local residents also owe their blessings to you, and with the continuous influx of syrup from the New World, they will soon lead prosperous lives.

Another thing that personally delights me is that the White Dew District project, as you promised, has seen a visually apparent increase in trade volume at Castellion Port! This strategy of using a core industry to drive the development of the surrounding areas through intensive production is a genius concept! On behalf of the citizens of Castellion Port, I express my heartfelt admiration for your foresight again!

Furthermore, it is heard that you have recently been invited to become a Master of the Academic State, beginning your exploration of Magic and truth. When I learned of this news, I was so shocked I almost couldn't believe my ears—who would have thought you had such profound expertise in the field of Magic.

Saint Sis above, is there anything in this world that you aren't good at? Please extend this grace to the Castellion family a little!

Haha! That sentence was just a joke; I hope you don't take it to heart. The Castellion family has already gained much from the Holy Light; I sincerely wish you can restore the Colin family's glory, and also believe that the honor you achieve will not be kept to yourself!

By the way, my youngest daughter, Ophelia, has longed for the mysterious Magic since childhood, and if she could get your personal guidance, it would be wonderful! I might not trust others much, but if it's you, my heart is at ease a million times!
