Main Text Volume Section 4 Morning Dew After Rain

Morning dew after rain?

When he first heard this name, Leon felt inexplicably familiar. It seems that I heard it somewhere. But when I think about it carefully, I can't think of anything.

Seeing Lyon's deep thought, Eaton didn't seem to be faking it. He asked with a hint of surprise: "Don't Viscount Pat know?"

"I haven't inherited the title yet. Earl of Eaton doesn't need to call me that. Just call me Lyon." After speaking, Lyon shook his head: "The morning dew after the rain sounds very familiar, but I really can't remember what it is." something."

Eaton looked at Lyon deeply, stretched out his hand, took a wooden box from the attendant and handed it to Lyon.

"Do you have any impression of this box?"

This is a beautifully carved wooden box. The carved picture is very different from the relief paintings popular in the empire. Simply outline the ups and downs to show the curves of the cloud pattern. This is a completely different style from today's genre. Others may not recognize it, but Leon is exactly impressed by it - this is simply old man Jon's royal tea box.

Could it be that Jon's enemy came to visit?

"This should be...a box to put things in, right?" Leon originally wanted to say it was a tea box, but after thinking for a moment, he changed his mind. Even if he doesn't like old man Jon, who makes his favorite brother respect Jon so much? Even for this reason, he would not expose Jon.

It was also because Leon was too young. Although he quickly calmed down his expression, the surprise at that moment was still captured by Eaton.

"You have no impression of this box?" A questioning voice asked.

"No." Leon said without hesitation.

After a long time, Eaton curled up the corners of his mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said coldly: "Well, since Viscount Pat has no impression, let's not waste time and say goodbye!"

As Eaton and his entourage left, Leon's face slowly darkened.

With such a decisive departure, coupled with Eaton's cold and murderous intent before leaving, Lyon had a bad feeling.

After thinking about it, Leon ordered the knights raised by the manor to be on alert, and he quickly rushed to the stilted building where old man Jon was.

This was the second time he came to Diaojiaolou today, but his mood was completely different.

Coming in a hurry, bringing up a gust of wind. The low blades of grass in the yard were shaken up and down.

"Brother, why are you here?" Seeing that Leon's expression was wrong, Angel stopped playing the "you're here" joke. He just thought something big had happened and asked hurriedly.

"Did you see the tea box? It's the box that old Jon used to store tea." Leon said as he quickly went up to the second floor and pushed open the door of Jon's bedroom.

Angel followed up: "Tea box?" Angel took out a round dragon-carved box from the small foot cabinet on the side, "Is this what you are talking about?"

Jon was originally sitting at the desk reading a book - the mute servant was responsible for turning the pages - and Leon's movements were naturally noticed by him.

"What? Leon, you boy has enlightened and now knows how to appreciate the tea I have here?" Jon said with a smile.

There is also tea in the Golden Bird Empire, but it is completely different from the tea prepared by Jon. The tea of ​​the Golden Bird Empire is, to be precise, a drink made with flowers, syrup, and milk. It is somewhat similar to milk tea. Angel and Jon both like to drink milky tea, but Jon himself rarely drinks this kind of tea. The tea he drinks is all tea leaves picked from the green tea trees he grows himself. It is purely hand-made without any addition. Other seasonings. The tea garden where Ollie worked previously was built and taken care of by Jon himself when he was still in good health. However, as he became unwell, it was handed over to the care of the head maid Mana.

Leon ignored Jon's teasing and took the tea box from Angel.

Leon frowned and said, "No."

"What's wrong?"

"Treads, this box is engraved with a basilisk. The box I'm talking about is engraved with lines like waves." Leon said, recalling the box he saw in Eaton's hand earlier.

"Basilisk? Brother, this is actually a dragon."

"Dragon? I've never seen such a slender dragon."

Angel knew that talking to Leon about the mythology and culture of different worlds would definitely make things unclear, so he no longer refuted, but said: "The teacher's own tea box is usually made of carved dragons. In addition, the teacher gave it to his mother. The rose tea box is carved with peach patterns, the tea box for my father is carved with bat patterns, and there are some other types of carved boxes. The wave-like pattern you mentioned should be the moiré pattern used for gifts. "

"So the old man's box is so exquisitely carved? I haven't noticed it before." Leon looked surprised, then came back to his senses and said to Angel: "Then it should be the moiré pattern. Where is the moiré box?"

Angel looked at Leon strangely: "Didn't I tell you that moiré boxes are for gifts, and there are none here. My father once asked his tutor to carve a batch of moiré boxes. Except for those given as gifts, they should all be piled in Warehouse?"

"Leon, tell me, what happened?" It was Jon who spoke. Although he never spoke, his eyes were always paying attention to Leon's expression. Leon's expression was anxious from beginning to end, and his brows never relaxed.

Leon looked at Jon, looked up and down for a while, and then slowly said: "Today, Earl of Eaton of the Munn family..."

…

"Haha, it turns out that boy Leon is worried that my old man and my enemies will come to your door?" After hearing what Leon said, Jon said with a smile.

"Who is worried about you? I'm just hiding it for you for Angel's sake." Leon turned his head awkwardly and yelled.

Angel was also complaining on the side. He had always thought that his brother's attribute was male chauvinism, but it turned out that he also had the legendary tsundere attribute!

"Tell me, what is the feud between you and the Earl of Eaton? He came in a hurry today and left in a hurry, especially when he left, his eyes were too fierce. If I can resolve it, I will try my best to resolve it. If not, you may have to pray for your own good luck."

"No feud." Jon said without thinking.

"No feud? How is it possible! The box in his hand was obviously carved by you!"

Jon looked at Lyon: "In this world, the people I know are only within the scope of Gru Town. I don't need to lie about this."

Jon came to this world, and his body had already had problems. In addition to the language and cultural barriers, Jon took several years to adapt with the help of Viscount Pat. After he almost adapted to this world, his limbs began to show signs of atrophy, and naturally it was impossible for him to travel far. So, in all these years, the farthest place Jon has been to is to follow old Pat to the capital of the empire for treatment. Therefore, his network of contacts has not been expanded, and it is even more impossible for him to make enemies with others.

Seeing that Leon looked a little confused, Angel also said: "The mentor did not lie, and there is no need to lie. Maybe... Brother's thinking was wrong from the beginning. Earl Eaton may not know the existence of the mentor at all."

"What do you mean?" Leon said.

"According to what my brother said, Earl Eaton came for one thing, and asked about the morning dew after the rain at the beginning. He should come for this, right?" Angel tilted his head slightly, which was his habit when thinking: "But isn't the morning dew after the rain a kind of tea? Did you come here for tea? I always feel that something is wrong."
