Chapter 673: Chapter 54: Selanweir’s Cultivation and One of the Ten Treasures of Sulande Province: Earth Vein Compass

Bertrand brought news about his daughter?

Su Li immediately took the portrait excitedly, a strange sense of closeness welling up in him. He couldn’t help but smile broadly, "This is my precious daughter, she’s so beautiful, with gem-like brown eyes, silky silver hair, and tender skin, she’s just like a porcelain doll."

Hilude immediately leaned in, carefully examining the frame, her face also brimming with a joyful smile, "Yes, she’s really beautiful. And she looks a lot like you, my Lord, the same eyes, the same fondness for smiling, even the little dimple on the only right cheek is just like yours. She’ll definitely grow up to be as beautiful as Philis."

Su Li always thought he was bad at naming, but the moment he saw this adorable little life, a fitting name suddenly emerged in his mind: "She shall be called Jian Jia, Jian Jia Bauhinia! In the East, there is a ballad, Jian Jia praises girls."

Bertrand was stunned, "Is this what they call tacit understanding? Princess Philis also chose this ballad from the eastern province of Sulande as a suggested name. My Lord, you and the Princess must have a sincere relationship, tied together by an unparalleled harmony."

"Here is also a letter from the Princess to you."

The letter was sealed with resin-blended beeswax and sealing wax, featuring the complete gilded lacquer seal of the Sulande Province’s Elector, indicating this envelope had never been opened by outsiders.

Su Li immediately tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside, which was Philis’s handwritten letter filled with squiggly lines.

Philis is indeed a national beauty, with a stunning appearance, but her handwriting didn’t resemble her at all, having a somewhat chubby style like that of a kindergartner.

This was mainly because she had very little time to study reading and writing, only starting to learn after being appointed as a courtier by Su Li.

However, it was evident that she had written very carefully, and there were even traces of dried tears between the lines.

"To my sun, Venus, and unwavering lover:

As I pen these words, the bloody scent beneath the dome of Avalon Palace has yet to disperse. Three hours ago, I birthed our daughter on the birthing bed in Throne Hall, with the torn Iris Banner as bedding, assisted by the Medical Knight Commander from Hesse Territory. When her cries and the cheers of the rebel army outside the palace rang out simultaneously, I suddenly remembered that night in Hesse Territory when you filled me wholly with your warmth and love, and urged me: survive, until you lead the Iron Armor to Ivy City to reunite with me.

This has been my strongest support during times of darkness, solitude, and fear. Fortunately, under the Goddess’s protection, we are safe. She has your eyebrows and my hair color, born with hope. My dear, I have signed the first Prince’s decree, making her the first heir of the Sulande Prince’s Territory. We are waiting in Sulande Province for you to come reunite with us.

Lastly, the Protective Talisman you gave me, I hold it every night as I sleep. I can feel your presence on it, which calms both me and Avril.

Forever yours,

Philis Liebowitz Iris 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

At Full Moon Hall, Avalon Palace

Attached: A strand of our daughter’s first hair, which I’ve embedded into the talisman you gave me. At our next meeting, I want it to hang on your sword’s hilt. She will be your best gift, but I also asked Bertrand to bring you some treasures from the Sulande Province treasury. The chaos here after the military disaster is apparent. I will gradually organize the treasury of Sulande Province to provide you more support."

After reading the letter, Su Li couldn’t help but smile sweetly.

He couldn’t help but recall the famous inquiry from his past life - are you happy?

He truly is very happy!

Philis and her daughter are safe, and the situation is gradually improving; that is the best news. For the first time, Su Li clearly felt a small family forming, with a virtuous wife and safe children. Thinking of all this, he couldn’t help but smile.

The only thing that made him feel anxious was his eagerness to see his daughter in person.

Before this little life was born, he never imagined there would be such a strong and intimate bond.

After seeing the photos, Bertrand handed Su Li a sack full of grains.

"My Lord, these are some valuable items that Princess Philis cleared from the ruined treasury, all given to you. They include 10 pounds of Deep Blue Ears, 5 pounds of Traveler’s Onion seeds, 5 pounds of Moonlight Cabbage seeds, 5 pounds of Frost-Talking Peas seeds, and 10 pounds of Stone Skin Pumpkin seeds."

"Also, the Princess specifically asked me to give you these, two Magic Pearls from the Magic Tide Clam, which can further enhance our Holy Land in Hesse Territory."

"Of course, the most precious is this treasure." Bertrand said as he pulled out a compass from his bosom, handing it to Su Li, "This is the first treasure of Sulande Province found among the ruins, the Earth Vein Compass. It’s one of the ten most famous treasures in Sulande Province. Its core ability is to absorb Divine Tide Power, then, when the compass’s energy activity reaches a quarterly peak, it changes the Wind of Magic effects."
