"Take it, this is my personal reward!" Ruilai said indifferently.
"Thank you, Master Riley!" George grinned when he heard this and put the silver coin into his arms neatly.
He imagined that when the Nightingale Tavern opened, he would call three or five friends and go there to enjoy a little luxury! He looked at Ruilai and said respectfully: "With the blood of Heige, its offspring will grow up in half a year and can be ridden by people. Congratulations, Master Ruilai!"
Riley noticed the skin color of the three ponies and found that they were still dark and obviously did not inherit the gray color.
"I just don't know how much of my physique has been inherited." Ruilai thought to himself.
What he wanted was a physique as strong as Haig's, but he would have to wait a few months to see the result.
On the way back to the castle, passing by the training ground, Rayleigh saw his father who was training in magic inside, stabbing a boulder with a ground spike.
At this moment, he thought that he had not practiced for many days, and he actually had an urgent urge to make up for it!
So, after sending Klina back to the castle, Riley returned to the training ground alone.
"Father, I want to receive magic training!" Riley approached Rhett with enthusiasm in his eyes.
Rhett was a little surprised by Riley's unexpected words, but his attitude at this time made him quite satisfied.
Success comes from diligence, while failure comes from laziness.
People who are willing to work hard can always win favor.
Taking Ruilai to the southeast corner, where the pre-condensed "special stones for water arrow shooting" were piled, Lei Te picked up a piece, held it in his palm, and said: "The old rules, just pass through the center of the moving stone.
Are you ready, Riley? "
Ruilai took a deep breath, and recalled the fear he had in the past when he was dominated by the little stone. His face gradually became solemn, and he said:
"Come on! Father!"
Rhett threw the stone with force and it flew high into the air.
A water arrow shot out from in front of Ruilai, leaving a blue stream of light, blasting the stone into pieces and flying in all directions.
"Almost there, keep going!" Rhett threw the stone again.
Ruilai was calm and composed. The many training sessions in the past had allowed him to quickly enter the best training state.
His eyes were always fixed on the target that kept flying in the air, and he was gradually getting into the mood.
Another stone was broken.
But Ruilai was not moved at all. After experiencing several failures, it no longer had any impact on him. He would just quickly find the shortcomings and work hard to correct them.
He felt like he had entered a wonderful state, his mind was free from all distractions, and the efficiency of his training seemed to have increased several times.
More than an hour passed.
A stone flew high into the sky, and Rylai, as usual, cast a water arrow.
"Whoosh"
Like a meteor, it rushed from the ground to the sky, without any obstacles, until the magic elements were exhausted, and then it faded and disappeared.
Rhett was bending down as usual to pick up a stone, but suddenly he stopped and stood up straight.
He took in everything that had just happened, and his eyes gradually brightened!
Dongdong Gulugulu The stone fell to the ground with a heavy sound. This time it did not break into pieces, but rolled on the ground for a few times.
Riley stood there, staring blankly at the stone rolling until it stopped.
He murmured, "I... succeeded?"
"That's right!" Leiter walked forward and praised with a smile: "Rui Lai, you succeeded!"
He picked up a stone from the ground, shook it gently, and said, "Once you have practiced for the first time, there will be countless times to come. I hope to see the day when you can practice with a single stone countless times! Keep training while you are still feeling hot and consolidate your results!"
"Yes!" Ruilai's eyes were filled with joy. He nodded quickly and said, "Go on, father!"
Facing another stone thrown high up in the air, Ruilai concentrated all his attention, but this time the spell was not as successful as last time.
The water arrow technique still smashed the stone into pieces! As expected, Ruilai was not discouraged. After all, he was successful for the first time, and he knew that luck played a role! What he needed to do was to use that luck, gain experience, and find a way to succeed. Through continuous practice, he could regain this feeling.
The father and son spent the whole afternoon training.
In the subsequent training, Rhett was not always the sparring partner. Instead, he found a follower to take over the job of throwing stones.
It was getting close to evening.
The setting sun dominated the sky, releasing a golden and red cloud to celebrate.
The father and son finished their magic training, leaned against the wall, and quietly admired the beautiful scenery in the sky.
Deep inside the training ground, students who had finished their archery training walked out, talking and laughing.
When they passed the outer area, they saw the Lord and Master Ruilai, and they all shut up and stopped the noise.
Walk this journey quietly.
"Father, I plan to organize a caravan in the next few days and set off as soon as possible to purchase ore." Ruilai suddenly remembered this and said.
"Well, when purchasing ore, remember to avoid Windmill Town." Rhett said.
When the eldest son of Windmill Town came to him to discuss the "marriage", the two of them had a secret conversation. Rhett did not disclose the content of the conversation to his sons afterwards, mainly because he was worried that the family was in trouble at the time and someone would do something out of line.
"Windmill Town?" Ruilai's eyes rolled, thinking that there was indeed a micro vein of Wind Star Stone in Windmill Town.
Although he didn't know why his father stopped him from trading with Windmill Town, he still replied without hesitation: "I understand, father."
"In this case, only the Toronto family and the Fabray family are left in Blaine, owning two small mines." Ruilai pondered for a while and said, "Then I will set off in a few days."
"Don't be in a hurry!" Rhett stopped him.
Facing Ruilai's surprised eyes, Lei Te explained: "Child, you and Klina just got married. After your honeymoon, you should experience the newlywed life for a while. You shouldn't leave Klina alone at home so early."
Looking back at the last simulation, Clina got pregnant with twins at the end of July.
If Ruilai sets out this month to do business and purchase ore, it will undoubtedly affect the family's plan of reproduction.
"That's right." Rui Lai understood quickly, his brows relaxed, and said: "Then, I will go to buy ore in early August. What do you think, father?"
"That's great!"
One week later.
Deputy Commander Ambiru and Count Nero's team passed a sun lake around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Looking at the clear lake water, Ambiru felt happy.
He had stayed in the canyon defense line for too long and could not see any wide rivers or lakes. Even some streams and rivers in the canyon were stained with muddy blood all year round.
From time to time, a few fish covered with fiery red scales jumped out of the water, attracting the attention of Ambiru and Count Nero.
"Huh? Aquatic magical beasts." Count Nero looked surprised, "I've never heard of Sir Rhett's territory breeding aquatic magical beasts before."
Count Nero and Ambiru were sitting in a carriage. He recalled the situation on the southwestern border. Most of the aquatic magical beasts came from the East Blue coast because the prices of aquatic magical beasts there were more favorable.
However, recent events along the East Blue coast have caused a severe chill in the aquatic monster business in Twilight City.
He looked closely at the area of Sun Lake, and estimated that for a lake of this size, the number of aquatic monsters would be limited, and his interest suddenly waned.
Xilin, who was patrolling Sun Lake, was shocked when she saw a team of more than a hundred people coming towards her.
Noticing the brightly colored golden and red flags flying in the team, she realized that this team came from the canyon defense line.
Her expression was slightly tense, and she walked forward, ready to ask the team why they were there.
Count Nero, who had noticed something, lifted the curtain of the carriage and stuck his head out.
He glanced at Shilin and said, "Well, I remember you. You seem to be a knight under Baron Leiter?"
He looked at Shilin's short orange hair and remembered that the last time Rhett visited him, the person he brought with him was the person in front of him.
Xilin was a little surprised and said, "Count Nero?" Then she glanced at the canyon battle flag, as if she didn't understand why the count appeared here.
Then he added: "Yes, I am Shilin, and I obey the orders of the Lord. Is Count Nero going to visit the Lord?"
"I have some good news for Viscount Rhett." Count Nero smiled, pointed eastward, and said, "If I remember correctly, Young Eagle Town should be in this direction?"
"That's right. Go east for about ten kilometers and you will reach Young Eagle Town." Xilin was curious about what the good news was that Count Nero mentioned, but she knew that with her status, she was not qualified to ask at the moment, so she just pointed the way.
"Thank you!" Nero retracted his head back into the car.
The team marched forward again and soon appeared on the graystone avenue in front of the manor.
Twenty knights in silver armor came to both sides of the carriage, forming a passage.
Ambiru stroked his dark yellow mustache, slightly fiddled with his dark yellow wavy short hair, and slowly walked out of the car.
Facing the slightly cool autumn breeze, the big red cloak behind Ambiru fluttered in the wind. He had a dark blue sword nearly two meters long hanging on his waist. He was wearing a tunic and shiny black leather shoes as he walked forward.
Looking at the middle-aged man standing at the door of Deep Rock Castle with a look of doubt on his face, Ambiru smiled slightly: "Is this Deep Rock Castle? I'm here to see Sir Rhett."
Today, Sveta was assigned by the master to clean up the scattered fallen leaves on both sides of the gray stone avenue in front of the manor gate.
But I didn't expect to see this unforgettable scene.
As a nobleman's steward, he knew very well what the patterns on the battle flags of the canyon defense line looked like. When he saw the large group of people in front of him, he knew that something big had happened!
The man in front of him was obviously an important person. Sveta did not dare to neglect him. She leaned forward slightly and said, "Sir, I have come all the way from the canyon defense line. I am the steward of Deep Rock Castle. Please wait a moment. I will go and inform the master!"
After hearing the news from Sveta, Rhett pretended to be extremely surprised and hurried to the gate of the manor along the stone path.
As soon as he saw the familiar face of Amburu with a mustache, he instantly showed a complex emotion of surprise and excitement.
"Lord Anbiru, it's really you!" Lei Te seemed to be particularly moved, touching his chest, "I thought it would be difficult to see you again after retiring from the front line!"
"I will never forget the heroic figure of you leading us to charge bravely on the battlefield; the scene of us diving deep into the river together to ambush the orcs..." Facing the deputy commander of the canyon defense line, the sixth-level knight, Rhett flattered him appropriately.
"Oh, Sir Rhett, no need to say more." A trace of emotion flashed in Ambiru's eyes, and he said softly: "There are many soldiers who retired from the canyon defense line, but you left a deep impression on me. You can assist the royal bloodline on the front line, and you can also clear out the evil alchemy organization in the rear.
You have done a great job!”
After he finished speaking, Ambiru took out a scroll from his bosom and said with relief: "After His Majesty the King knew about this, he recognized your contribution. As a reward, he granted you the title of Viscount.
The item in my hand is the king's decree of ennoblement."
Now, it was Rhett's turn to be shocked, although... it was also a performance.
After all, if he didn't have a vision of the future, he wouldn't know how many crimes the evil alchemy organization had committed. It's unlikely that he would be promoted to viscount directly based on this.
Therefore, after the shock, a hint of joy appeared on Rhett's face.
Count Nero saw Leiter's reaction and smiled as expected. He stood up and said, "Sir Leiter, maybe you don't know the heinous crimes committed by that group."
He cleared his throat and his expression turned serious: "After investigation, in the past few years, that group of people carried out evil alchemy experiments and killed a total of 142 magicians and knights, and more than 10,000 innocent civilians.
It can be said that... you have done a great deed!"
The smile on Leiter's face faded, and his expression turned cold, "What a damn bastard!"
Anbiru also showed disgust on his face. He was fighting on the front line and looked down on those who were engaging in internal conflicts in the rear.
Then he said, "Sir Rhett, let's quickly carry out the knighthood ceremony and then decide on your fiefdom.
The fighting on the canyon defense line has been intense recently, and I have to get back as soon as possible."
"No problem!" Lei Te's heart moved, and he asked with concern: "Lord Anbiru, have the orcs started to send reinforcements again?"
Ambiru frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is such a sign. Although the number of orcs on the defense line has not increased much recently, they are all fearless and their offensive is much more fierce than before. As a result, my soldiers have suffered heavy casualties."
Lei Te's face was solemn, "These damn orcs!"
"They deserve to die!" Count Nero echoed.
Next, the investiture ceremony began.
Since this was not his first knighthood, Rhett's declaration of allegiance lacked a large part of its content, and even the loyalty ceremony he had performed before did not need to be repeated this time.
The simple viscount promotion ceremony was completed in just a few minutes.
The Kingdom of Jinlun has always been like this; the ceremonies for barons and viscounts are not complicated, and only the ceremonies for earls are a little more troublesome.
As for the Marquis and Grand Duke, their investiture ceremony must be held in the royal palace and the king must personally confer the title.
"Sveta, go and bring my Grayge here. I want to choose a new fiefdom with Lord Ambiru!" Rhett waved his hand behind him.
"Yes, sir!" Sveta looked excited. He was just standing next to them and witnessed the whole process.
On the way to the horse farm, Sveta's face flushed, "Oh my God! The master actually did such a big thing, clearing out an extremely evil alchemy organization, and even promoted to Viscount!"
"From now on, my master will be the Viscount. Haha, I will be the Viscount's butler."
