The moonlight is like veil and fog. At night, Lake Melaren is quiet. The rustling sound of trees and insects on the lakeside can be heard in the wind. In the symphony of nature, there is a melodious sound of violin, which seems to resonate with the lake water. The coolness of the sun is cool and has a heart-wrenching and clear rhyme.

There are many carriages parked on the lawn of Anderson Castle. The whole castle is now brightly lit, which is in sharp contrast with the dim woods around it. The servants of the castle come and go in the hall, always preparing to replace the food plates on the dining tables around the hall, and add wine to many gorgeously dressed guests.

"Where is Master Alfred?" The old butler with red face held a maid and asked softly, "Why is he not in the hall? With so many guests present, he can't be as carefree as usual!"

As the butler of a big family, Old Carl is not afraid of the busy banquet. He is afraid that the Anderson family held too few aristocratic dances and was despised by other families in Uppsala. For a well-educated aristocratic butler, now is the time for them to reflect their value.

"After the master finished speaking the toast, he seemed to take Earl Larson's family to the study!" The maid put down a large stack of empty plates in her hand, shrugged her shoulders, and muttered in a low voice, "These nobles can really eat. I have changed the plates back and forth three times! No, Butler Carl, you have to let me go quickly, the kitchen needs help!"

"Go, go!" Carl was stunned, let go of the maid, and smiled to himself, "Master Alfred is personally entertaining Count Larson? Maybe Anderson Castle really needs an extra hostess..."

In a luxuriously decorated study room in Anderson Castle, four people were sitting opposite each other. Facing the main seat of the door, a young man in clothes and ties was Xu Mo, the leader of the old K Group. On his right chair, a middle-aged gentleman was sitting, looking at the decorations in the study with admiring eyes.

A middle-aged gentleman sat at the head of the middle-aged gentleman and a young girl. His expression was probably the wife and daughter of Count Larson.

The burning fireplace filled the whole room with a warm atmosphere. Xu Mo reached out and unbuttoned the copper buckle at the collar. Under the firelight of the fireplace, the young man's face was filled with a gentle smile.

"Thank you for your kind hospitality tonight, Lord Anderson!" Earl Larson raised his glass reservedly and smiled at Xu Mo.

"No, no, no! Your visit makes Anderson Castle shine brightly. I want to thank you!" Xu Mo smiled and raised his wine glass, his eyes accidentally flashed over the young girl.

The girl was wearing a whale bone skirt, with a hint of restraint on her youthful and romantic face, and she occasionally glanced at Xu Mo with curious eyes. The girl had beautiful wavy blond hair, her arms exposed outside the princess skirt were fair and weak and boneless. The beautiful figure out of the whale bone skirt was bulging in front and raised back, impeccable, and the only flaw was that there was a little freckle on her face.

By the way, this girl can be called a beauties, but in Xu Mo's eyes, this girl can only be regarded as a gorgeous vase at most, and is not his dish. No wonder his replica has lived in Uppsala for nearly three years and has not happened to this lady who loves him.

"Oh, by the way!" Xu Mo suddenly put down his wine glass and slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot something. A friend of mine returned from the sea near the Svalbard Islands and brought me a gift. I want to give this gift to Miss Lilian, and I hope Miss Lilian will like it!"

As he said that, Xu Mo stood up, took out a big brocade box from the cabinet behind him, and handed it to the countess with a smile, and handed it to the girl. The countess passed it to the girl.

"As long as it is your gift, I believe the little girl will like it!" Earl Larson raised his wine glass and sipped in meaningful words.

"Display it openly and see! If you like it, you can like it!" Seeing the girl shyly taking the brocade box and placing it on her legs, Xu Mo couldn't help but smile and signal to her.

"Wow, Mom, look, look!" Seeing that the owner didn't mind that she opened the brocade box immediately, the girl finally couldn't help but feel curious. As soon as she opened the brocade box, the girl's eyes turned into stars, and excitedly grabbed Mrs. Larson beside her.

"This... this is the bear skin, the polar bear's fur!" The knowledgeable Mrs. Larson opened her eyes in surprise when she saw the brocade box. This snow-white animal fur was one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen.

"Oh?" Earl Larson couldn't help but look at Jinbo, then frowned, and turned his head and said, "Hiss Anderson, this gift is really too expensive..."

The Larson family is a high noble in Uppsala, and the Count himself is a wealthy army general. But a flawless polar bear fur can be regarded as a rare treasure no matter what. After all, the area where such things are produced is not a place that ordinary people can reach.

This polar bear's fur was actually one of the spoils that Xu Mo got on the Hell God in his last adventure. Although this thing is precious, it is not a material for equipment. It is worthless to the Reincarnator, so he was not taken out of the world of navigation by him. It is now just for pleasing Miss Lilian.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Miss Lilian can like it. If it can be made into a vest and draped on the lady's shoulders, it may be considered the best destination." Xu Mo smiled and shook his head, "Earl Larson, look, you are much older than me. If you want, you can directly call me by my name, Alfred!"

"Father..." Lilian shone with big eyes and looked at Count Larson with a pleading face.

"Okay! Then I'll thank you for your little girl, Ann... Lord Alfred!" Earl Larson suddenly remembered something, stretched his eyebrows again, and raised his glass with a smile.

"In fact, it will look more beautiful under the bright light!" Seeing the girl stroking the white fur with love, Xu Mo reminded with a smile.

"...Dear, take Lilian out of the room to enjoy it!" Earl Larson's eyes flashed, and he turned his head and whispered to the countess, "The lights outside the hall may be brighter!"

"Let's go, Lilian, mom takes you outside and take a closer look!" The Countess glanced at her husband, and suddenly a smile flashed in her eyes. She stood up and pulled the girl out.

"Ah?! Isn't this place very good?" The girl looked at her mother in confusion.

But her mother's deep smile immediately made her realize something. Two blush suddenly appeared on the girl's face. She obediently picked up the brocade box, followed her mother and left the study.

After Larson and his daughter left, the two men in the study fell silent, as if they were waiting for each other to speak first. Looking at the middle-aged gentleman who looked leisurely and drank silently, Xu Mo rubbed his temples helplessly and cursed the old fox in his heart.

Putting down the wine glass, Xu Mo stood up from the chair, walked a few steps in the study with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Last night, I received a letter from His Majesty Gustav, asking me to arrive in Stockholm before noon the day after tomorrow!"

"...Are you going to go to war?" Earl Larson's eyes flashed and he looked at the young man in surprise.

"This is not mentioned in His Majesty's letter, but I believe your guesses are absolutely inseparable!" Xu Mo paused and continued, "His Majesty Gustav is not only extremely wise, but also has ambitions that ordinary people can't imagine. It is an extra mercy to allow me to rest in Uppsala for three years."

"... Then I wish you a triumphant return and add glory to the Anderson family again!" Earl Larson pondered for a moment, raised his head and smiled.

"The Anderson family is a military family and should serve the country!" Xu Mo said calmly, "His Majesty Gustav is in his prime, and I am very young. I am afraid I will go to the battlefield a lot in the future. But now I am the only male in the family. Once I die in the battle, the family will inevitably cut off their bloodlines. Therefore, before this expedition, I hope to find a fiancée for myself..."

"His Excellency Alfred, what do you want to say..." Larson locked his eyebrows tightly, and hesitated in his heart.

From today when I received the invitation to the Anderson family, which specifically stated the name of his daughter Lilian, Earl Larson had already had a premonition that the young man in front of me would be very likely to propose marriage to him. Alfred is a good son-in-law, but now, he is about to go to the battlefield...

"His Earl, if I die in the battlefield this time, then everything will be left unrest. If I can return triumphantly, I hope to marry Miss Lilian as my wife!" Xu Mo said calmly, "I know this is very hasty. You should be careful when you choose a husband for Miss Lilian and examine the candidates for your son-in-law. However, I really don't have much time..."

"..." Earl Larson put down his wine glass, supported his chin with one hand, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, raised his head and said slowly, "I am also a soldier, I can understand your difficulties. However, before you return safely this time, I cannot get Lilian to engage you, please forgive me!"

"No, no, no! You misunderstood what I mean!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, "I don't ask Miss Lilian to get engaged to me immediately..."

"Then you are..." Count Larson asked in confusion.

"Commitment! I only want one of your verbal promises!" Xu Mo said with a smile, "My engagement with Miss Lilian will not be announced immediately. I just hope you can agree that I will get engaged to Miss Lilian after returning from triumphant."

"...It can be seen that Lilian likes you very much! If it's just such a request, I can promise you!" Earl Larson nodded with a smile, and suddenly squeezed his eyes narrowly, "If I didn't promise you, I guess you will receive other nobles downstairs tonight!"

"...Miss Lilian is my favorite wife candidate!" Xu Mo spread his hands and sighed, "But you know, sometimes, for the sake of the family, I have to make some helpless choices!"

"Haha, Alfred, believe me, I can understand!" Earl Larson patted Xu Mo's shoulder with deep emotion, "Sit down and let me learn more about your expedition... You know, although I am just a general on land, I may also help you!"

"As you wish!" Xu Mo's mouth slightly raised an arc.
