So he patted his chest and made a promise: "It is imperative to punish the wicked and eliminate evil.

Lord Augustus, please rest assured that as long as I, Earl Rhett, stay in this southwest border for one day, I can maintain peace here for one day!"

Rhett looked quite natural, having completely assumed the role of earl.

"Haha, I'm relieved that you've realized this." Augustus smiled, showing a look of relief, then took out a map from his arms and handed it over:

"This is a small gift from me to you - a detailed map of the southwestern border, exactly the same as the one you just saw. Now that you have become an earl, this map may be helpful to you in your future actions!"

Lei Te's eyes sparkled. He took it without hesitation and said, "Thank you, Lord Augustus!"

Augustus waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

Then, the two had a brief chat.

Augustus told the Earl other things that needed his attention, and Rhett listened carefully and took note of them.

The matter of promotion to earl was thus concluded efficiently and quickly.

Then, Leiter made an invitation at the right time: "Grand Duke Blue Diamond, I guess this is your first time in Young Eagle Town. Why don't you come and have a seat in my Deep Rock Castle?"

"No problem." Augustus agreed immediately. He also wanted to find an opportunity to talk more with the other party and try to win him over.

Rhett whistled.

A few seconds later, Huo Ge, who was playing nearby, responded and rushed over, rushing from a distance and swooping down from a height of a hundred meters.

However, this time, his movements were much more restrained. When he was about to land, he didn't even dare to be too ostentatious and stir up the airflow.

Huo Ge looked at Grand Duke Blue Diamond and the Crystal-Winged Bird beside him with fear, then looked away and leaned over to expose his back.

When Augustus saw Huoge's wings, he was surprised for a moment, but soon lost interest.

The two flew to Deep Rock Castle, one in front and one behind, and landed at the same time.

The stone path of the estate.

Sveta stood on the stone slab with a respectful look on her face, listening to Rhett say, "Today, our territory welcomes the most distinguished guest in history - Grand Duke Blue Diamond! I want to make today's dinner as sumptuous as possible!

Go, pass on my order, have Tadel or Coors go to Sun Lake to catch some aquatic monsters. Let's have a seafood feast tonight!"

"This is the first time that Master has slaughtered an aquatic monster." Sveta muttered to himself, his face became more serious, he bowed slightly, and said, "Understood Master, I will arrange it right away!"

After Sveta left, Rhett stretched out his left arm and invited Augustus: "Come in."

The two of them arrived at Deep Rock Castle, and immediately a maid dressed in black and white came up with desserts, cakes, and drinks.

Augustus took a quick look and saw that the food was not very high-end. He picked up a piece and tasted it symbolically.

But he also smiled and praised: "It tastes good!"

Rhett stepped forward personally, filled his glass, and then filled his own as well.

Returning to his seat, Leiter placed the bottle on the table, shook the crystal goblet in his hand, and the purple-red liquid swirled in it. He was the first to ask a question:

"Sir Augustus, to be honest, I have a question in my mind and I would like you to answer it."

Augustus smiled warmly: "Please ask if you have any questions."

"This brings me to a few months ago when I was participating in a general offensive against the orcs at the canyon defense line. I witnessed with my own eyes an officer named Somjet who broke through the battlefield and subsequently burst out with powerful combat power, injuring the orc commander-in-chief.

Later, I learned from Chief Avalon that the other party had realized the prototype of the mystery of the wind-type "extreme speed".

In the past, I was weak and had no idea about the mysteries, so I wanted to ask you about them. "

In Leiter's opinion, Augustus, as an eighth-rank peak sky knight, had been famous for a long time, had extraordinary combat power, and was also sitting in the position of Grand Duke, so he must know much more than himself.

As expected, when Augustus heard the name Somjet, he showed an interested look, and then when he heard that he had broken through to the Sky Knight, he sighed and said with emotion: "Tsk tsk, Somjet, I heard of his name more than ten years ago. He is the owner of the top talent of the wind element.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I have already broken through to the Sky Knight.

I even realized the mysterious secrets in the legend..."

After sighing, Augustus picked up the dark blue crystal goblet, took a sip of red wine, looked at Leiter and said, "Now that you have become a fifth-level magician, it is understandable that you are interested in the mysteries."

Rhett sat opposite, ready to listen quietly.

Augustus cleared his throat again and said, "Well, regarding the mysteries, it can be simply understood as the laws of the elements."

"The law of elements..." Rhett muttered subconsciously.

"Hmm." After thinking for a while, Augustus picked up the cup in his hand and shook it gently: "For example, it's like the liquid in this cup, although normal people can't see anything.

But in fact, this simple water contains many mysteries.

The most intuitive one is liquefaction, and by extension, there are also atomization and freezing, all of which involve mysteries.

I heard from a water-based Saint Domain expert in my early years:

In fact, there are other mysteries in the water system. As far as I know, there are also 'flow' and 'extreme cold'.

I myself have realized a hint of the mysterious rudiments of 'extreme cold'."

"Hmm, I see." Extreme cold? Can it freeze people into popsicles? Lei Te looked admiring and asked the most concerned question: "So, if you can comprehend the mysteries, can you advance to the Saint Realm in the future?"

After all, next, he would be able to comprehend the mystery of the earth element. If the threshold for entering the holy realm could be lowered, it would be a great improvement.

“Haha, of course not.” Grand Duke Blue Diamond laughed dumbly and shook his head, “In fact, there is no direct causal relationship between the mysteries and the breakthrough to the Holy Land.

It’s just that after becoming a Saint, I heard that one will have a deeper understanding of the laws of elements, so it will be easier to comprehend the mysteries and thus greatly improve combat effectiveness.”

"I see." There was a look of sudden realization in Rhett's eyes, and he felt a little regretful. It turned out that the mystery did not directly help in breaking through the holy realm.

But it is also a good thing to be able to greatly improve combat effectiveness! "So, Lord Augustus, do you know what earth-related mysteries are?" Lei Te asked.

Before, he had only heard about the earth-based gravity space from Avalon, and the other party said he was not clear about the other mysteries of the earth-based space.

“You are talking about the mysteries of the earth element…” Augustus touched his chin and thought, “In the history of our kingdom, including now, there has never been a strong earth element saint, so I don’t know much.

In addition to knowing the mystery of gravity and space, one can control gravity and repulsion within a certain range.

I also know the two mysteries of 'dispersion' and 'condensation'. The former turns the body into sand, which is very effective in defense. The latter condenses extremely hard objects, which is both offensive and defensive. "

Augustus then paused, pondered for a while, and said, "Regarding the mystery, I can only tell you this much. After all, I am not a saint yet, and I cannot explain the essence of the mystery.

In short, except for the Saint Realm where one can steadily comprehend the mysteries, below the Saint Realm, it all depends on talent and luck.

If one can comprehend it, it can only be said that one has good talent and the possibility of being promoted to the Holy Realm in the future is greater, but it is not absolute.

In fact, most of the Saint Realm masters, before reaching the Saint Realm, had not yet realized the rudiments of the mystery. "

Although this explanation was not comprehensive enough, it allowed Rhett to make sufficient progress.

And he finally figured out what kind of mystery could be turned into sand, it must be "dispersion".

Disperse? The mystery of this word, in Lei Te's opinion, contains infinite wonders.

Among all the elements, it seems that only the earth element can be scattered like fine dust or particles, or solidified into a solid rock. It is unpredictable between stability and freedom.

This... maybe this is a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth? Although I heard earlier that the water element also has the mystery of ice and is also solid, its operation method is fundamentally different from that of the earth element.

He was also very curious about what Bing Xuan Ao's ability was. At present, he could only wait until he met other people in the future, or if Rui Lai got lucky and figured it out with the help of Nina in the future.

The next three days.

As prompted in the simulation, Rhett invited Augustus to stay temporarily in the territory, and the other party gladly accepted.

During this period, Rhett could feel the kindness shown by Augustus from their interactions, words and actions.

After all, he is a grand duke. Under normal circumstances, he would not show any courtesy to ordinary earls.

Only to Rhett was he able to patiently explain the mysteries and was willing to stay for three days.

To be honest, Rhett felt a little embarrassed by this kind of treatment and rejected the other party's marriage invitation.

Otherwise, agree to the other party? This thought just popped up in Lei Te's mind, but was instantly extinguished.

Jokes aside, Nicole has always been a knot in Rhett's heart. At least Rhett has not let it go yet and finds it difficult to let it go.

So I can't accept changing a woman to spend the rest of my life with.

This is a very important matter! There is no room for compromise...

At the shore of Sun Lake, Augustus, who had just invited Leiter to marry him but was rejected, looked at the fire-patterned fish swimming in the water. He was silent for a long time and sighed: "Ah, Count Leiter, are you really not going to consider it again?

My granddaughter is also very talented. Even if she is not as talented as you, it will be very easy for her to be promoted to an Earth Knight in the future."

Leiter stared at Augustus' back and smiled bitterly. He had to refuse, but the other party's identity was there, so he couldn't be too blunt.

“First of all, Lord Augustus, it’s not that I’m dissatisfied with your granddaughter.

But I am not well prepared to welcome a new partner.

Being responsible for yourself is also being responsible for your granddaughter. You don’t want to see your granddaughter’s marriage life unhappy after she gets married, right? I think her happiness is also important.”

Augustus' eyes flashed with a complex light. He turned his head and looked at Lei Te, looking him up and down, as if he just got to know him. He smiled and said:

"Haha, that's really interesting...

There are few people like you among the nobles. "

Immediately, a whistle was blew.

The crystal-winged bird flew across the lake, creating a straight line of ripples that spread from the water to both sides.

Augustus turned over and lay on the back of the crystal-winged bird. He stroked the back of its neck with his hand and instantly turned into a ray of light, rushing up into the sky.

Only a light ending was left: "See you later."

A moment later, Rhett put one hand behind his back, looking at the light in the sky, which turned into a distant black dot and finally disappeared.

He sighed and shook his head.

Seeing the strong man who gave her an infinite sense of oppression leave, Xilin, with her orange hair flying in the wind, tiptoed over and looked at the handsome profile of the lord, curiously asking: "Was that the Grand Duke of Blue Diamond just now? I heard that he is a nearly invincible figure of the same level in the Kingdom of Jinlun.

Even though I was so far away just now, I could still sense how terrifying this person was."

"Really? I didn't feel that." Rhett touched his nose. Perhaps Augustus deliberately restrained his aura towards him.

He glanced at Xilin, carefully considered his words, and said, "I'm not sure she's invincible in her class, but she's definitely at the top of her class."

After all, he was also a genius who had comprehended the mystery of water - extreme cold.

To be a Grand Duke, you don’t just need to be any Sky Knight…

"Oh..." Shilin stuck out her tongue obediently.

After admiring the scenery on the lake for a while, Rhett rode on Huo Ge and left Sun Lake.

It circled in the sky above the territory for a while.

This is also a means to demonstrate the lord's prestige.

For ordinary people, just seeing someone flying in the sky on a magical beast is something that is beyond comprehension.

Lei Te looked down and saw many buildings lined up one after another, and the figures of the people were densely packed. A different feeling arose in his heart.

After patrolling for dozens of minutes, Rhett was about to go back when he suddenly saw Ruilai and his caravan appear in his sight on the road in the distance, a few hundred meters away from the town gate.

And they returned with a full load. Rhett saw the ore, magic plants and other goods in the rear carriage.

The above were all things he had instructed in advance, and were to be used for the construction of a new alchemical experimental base in the future, forging some alchemical instruments, and preparing items for Henk to refine the Black Crow's Sorrow potion.

Calculating the time, it was just right. Lei Te thought to himself: "If we agree on a plan today, we can start moving the territory tomorrow..."

After the relocation of the territory, the construction of the territory is easy, and most of it can be self-sufficient.

Only the construction of a new castle requires experienced architects.

However, he was well prepared.

at this time.

He looked back and saw more than a dozen strange figures, each of them was strong and tall, some were ordinary people, and some were low-level knights.

This was what Rhett had asked Riley to do in advance, to find a group of experienced manor and castle construction teams in Twilight City.

Looking at these unfamiliar faces and the various professional tools they carried, they were obviously the people he was looking for.

A smile appeared on Rhett's lips. He gently patted Huo Ge on the back of his head, then immediately folded his wings and dived down.

“Chiu!”

A familiar cry came from the sky.

Riley looked up, then stretched out his hand, signaling the team to stop.
