After a month of travel, Leiter arrived in the north of the southwest border.

Karo Village, a dilapidated and remote village.

Looking down from above, there are no more than fifty wooden houses and thatched houses in total, and the population is probably no more than a hundred at most.

The Spark Tavern is located at the entrance of the town. After entering, the first thing Rhett did was to look around.

It was dark and quiet, gloomy and damp, with dust on the ground. It looked like no one had been here for a long time. There was no sunlight, and Rhett felt that the environment was very much like a cellar.

If it weren't for the faint smell of alcohol irritating his nostrils, Rhett would probably have suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

“Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~”

A snoring sound came from the bar. A middle-aged man was lying down and taking a nap, supporting his arm with one hand.

Tap Tap Rhett's brown leather boots made a rhythmic sound as they stepped on the floor.

The middle-aged man's ears twitched at the undisguised noise and he woke up instantly. He raised his head and looked at the stranger cautiously.

"Would you like a drink, sir?"

Lei Te smiled faintly, but he was surprised in his heart. This unremarkable bartender in front of him was actually a third-level knight? This once again convinced him that the organization behind Black Star was extraordinary.

"Do you have Black Star wine?" Rhett glanced around the tavern casually, and seeing nothing special, he looked back at the bartender in front of him.

"What do you mean, sir?" The bartender's expression remained unchanged, but he felt uneasy in his heart. One of his hands, which was placed under the table, had already grasped the hilt of the long sword.

"Don't be nervous... I'll deliver the message." Rhett glanced at him calmly and said slowly.

He exposed the other party's careful thoughts, then took out a coin, flicked his thumb, and made it fly in the air at a high speed.

The bartender's pupils shrank suddenly. Even though the coin was spinning at high speed, he recognized the token with his amazing eyesight.

He felt at ease, and his right hand loosened the hilt of the long sword. Then he heard Leiter say:

“Please help me contact Black Star and ask him to come to my territory as soon as possible.

Well... just say that the bad guy who owed him what he promised before has been found."

"Okay! Where is your territory?" The bartender's eyes were solemn. He could not sense the other person's aura. The person in front of him was definitely a strong man! "Dark Eagle City."

"Dark Eagle City? Where is it?" The bartender was puzzled. He had never heard of this strange city name. It should not be in the southwest border, or even in the Kingdom of Jinlun.

"Oh, I just built it, near the Dark Eagle branch." Rhett raised his eyebrows and added.

"A city has just been built near the Dark Eagle branch..." The bartender was startled and blurted out: "Are you Count Leiter?!"

"You reacted pretty quickly." Lei Te smiled faintly, took the coin back, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence: "Don't forget what I asked just now..."

“Understood.”

The bartender behind the bar, in front of the wine rack, watched Rhett's back slowly leave, and felt relieved, but the solemn look in his eyes lingered for a long time.

A week later, on April 29th.

In the Dark Eagle City territory, Sveta sat on a small stone pier, looking up at the blue sky, paying attention to the birds flying around in the sky, chirping non-stop.

The sunlight made him squint slightly.

This time, he couldn't wait for the master on the graystone avenue, nor could he detect his master's return by the sound of horse hooves, so he watered the flowers and found a random place.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Perhaps it was because the sun was too bright today, Sveta stretched, yawned, and actually felt a little sleepy.

"What a nice weather..." Sveta smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Just as he was sighing, suddenly.

There was a hint of bright red in his sight.

In the distant mountains, a red figure jumped out from the top of the mountain, looking particularly familiar.

"That's the master's magical pet, Huo Ge!" A voice sounded in Sveta's heart.

Then he stood up excitedly and accidentally kicked over the kettle he had just used to water the flowers.

Bang! The kettle fell over, soaking my trouser legs.

But in her excitement, she didn't even have the energy to help. Sveta raised her hands high and waved them symmetrically.

“Chiu!”

A sharp cry came from high above. The architect who was building the castle, the servants who were planting flowers and plants around the castle and decorating the manor, the carpenters who were building the wooden house, and two orcs who were grunting at their work all looked up and watched Rhett's return.

Whoosh, whoosh

A gust of air whistled in, raising a circle of dust that filled the sky. Lei Te used the wind element to quickly stabilize it.

"Everyone, continue working, don't pay attention to me." Lei Te looked around, smiled and waved his hand, and said to the workers who were focusing their attention on him. He didn't like to make a big show.

Sveta was just a dozen meters away, trotting over to greet him with a smile on her face, "Welcome home, Master. Dark Eagle City is more vibrant because of your arrival!"

"Haha." Rhett laughed happily, not only because of these words, but also because he saw many familiar people after coming back.

"Sveta, do you have blueberry juice?" Rhett hadn't had it for a long time.

"Of course, not long after you left, I sent people to build a cellar in the manor. Master Ruilai personally condensed a large amount of ice to keep the temperature low. There are all kinds of iced juices in it."

Lei Te smiled and nodded: "Very good, in addition to the blueberry juice, please also have a portion of apple juice."

"At your service!" Sveta leaned forward and said.

While Sveta was away, Rhett looked at the castle built by the architect. The outer outline had been completed, and through the window, he could see the interior. Except for the necessary load-bearing walls, many parts still appeared empty.

"At this rate, the internal structure will be complete within a month, and the outer surface can be covered with a layer of black sandstone." Rhett touched his chin and thought secretly that since it was called Dark Rock Castle, the external environment should also be made solemn and dignified.

Soon, Sveta came over with two bottles of juice, "Master, the blueberry juice and apple juice you requested."

"Thank you very much."

Lei Te held the juice in his hand and brought Huo Ge to Hanjing Lake.

Looking around, the surface of Hanjing Lake has a different color from that of Taiyang Lake. The water of Taiyang Lake looks golden due to the golden seaweed on the bottom of the water, which is gorgeous and magnificent, while the water of Hanjing Lake is deep blue and calm, which makes people feel relaxed and open-minded.

At this moment, Rhett was sitting by the Hanjing Lake. Because it was located at the bottom of a small valley, it was a little chilly, but without the frosted sunflowers at the bottom of the lake, it was not as cold as it was then.

He drank the blueberry juice in one gulp. Huo Ge watched him drink it happily, and with a pair of bright eyes, he walked to Lei Te, flapped his wings, and opened his mouth: "Chi Chi!" (I want to drink it too)

Rhett turned his head away, laughed silently, uncorked the apple juice bottle, and poured the juice into the fire grid's open beak.

Gulp Gulp The throat covered with fiery red feathers rose and fell rapidly, and the bottle of apple juice was quickly emptied.

"Chiu?"

Huo Ge smacked his lips twice, as if he didn't taste anything good, and ran to the side listlessly to peck at the feathers.

Hual ... ​

Ripples appeared on the surface of the Cold Crystal Lake, and then there was the sound of splashing water. A figure emerged from the water, fiddled with his hanging hair, and his unconscious eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the figure by the lake, and he shouted:

"Eh? Father, you're back!"

Ruilai swam to the shore in a butterfly posture, climbed onto the shore, and said with a happy face: "You must have just returned? You left for more than three months this time. It must be something important, right?"

"Yes, it is very important..." Rhett pondered for a while and nodded, but did not intend to say what he had done specifically.

He looked at the wet Riley and asked, "You were just... doing magic training underwater?"

As early as when he approached Hanjing Lake, he felt the abnormal surge of water elements at the bottom of the water, which was obvious evidence of magic being cast.

"Ah... that's right." After hearing his father's words, Rui Lai looked relieved, with a hint of pride in his eyes, and said, "I still remember the second stage of magic training you taught me before, which was to attack the rolling stones in the air. I have been practicing it since you left.

However, no matter how much I practiced, I didn't make any progress. I thought the speed was too slow and the difficulty was too high.

Until two months ago, when I came to the water to look after the aquatic monsters, I accidentally saw a lot of bubbles here, and suddenly I had an idea and found a transitional training method! "

Lei Te's eyes lit up with interest: "Tell me about it."

Ruilai smiled and continued, "I think we can lower the difficulty first. The speed of a stone rolling in the water is much slower than that of a stone falling in the air. It is naturally much easier to strike it accurately, but the training ability is essentially the same!

So, I plan to first learn how to hit rocks in the water with every shot, and then move on to mid-air training."

This is a good method. I hadn't thought of it before... Lei Te's eyes flashed with a strange light. He patted Rui Lai on the shoulder and said with relief:

"Good boy, you actually improved this set of magic training, not bad, not bad!"

Ruilai smiled complacently: "Father has trained me well!"

"Haha." Lei Te laughed and shook his head, pointing at Rui Lai, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"By the way, where's Bai Ge? Isn't he with you?"

"Oh, you said Bai Ge, since returning to this branch of the Dark Eagle, that guy seems to have released his nature. He hides in the woods every day and doesn't like to come out." At this point, Rui Lai shrugged and said helplessly: "Maybe the little guy feels that this is the place where he was born."

Then, changing the subject, Raylai said, "However, in order to correct its habits, I arranged for it to cooperate with Frano and Laurin to conduct ranger training in the forest. I heard that the effect is quite good."

"Oh? Is that so..." Rhett raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly.

"Where's Tucker? I didn't see him just now, and he wasn't within a few kilometers around." Rhett asked, pretending to be confused.

"As for him, I heard him say half a month ago that he felt he had hit the bottleneck of a Level 2 Knight and was not far from a breakthrough. So he went to the mountains to train hard." Rui Lai said thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "By the way, Tucker's wife, Vanessa, got pregnant not long ago."

"Really?" Rhett pretended to be delighted and muttered, "Tucker is quite awesome!"

Then he looked at Ruilai, showed a strange smile, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him:

“Since the boss has made a good start, you and Taylors should continue to work hard.

The growth of the Green family depends entirely on you!"

“…”

The corner of Ruilai's mouth twitched. He did not continue the topic, but looked at the frost pine tree a few dozen meters away and asked, "Father, is it inappropriate to expose the water magic plant here?"

Before leaving, in addition to placing the aquatic magical beasts, Rhett also gave the plan of placing the water magical plants to Riley and Henk.

There is no need to plant in the manor, just plant around the Hanjing Lake. Even the alchemy experimental base will be located here, but the construction of the alchemy experimental base can only be carried out after the construction of the manor castle is completed.

Lei Te had anticipated this question, and he said slowly: "It doesn't matter, even if someone notices the abnormality here, we are strong enough to bear the risk.

After all, as time goes by, we have more and more magic plants in our hands, and sooner or later they will be out of sight. We must be prepared to be discovered.

Moreover, this place is temporarily designated as a restricted area, so the possibility of exposure is not great."

Ruilai looked thoughtful, and then heard Leiter say: "Next time you go out to trade, buy more seeds of earth magic plants. The quantity will be equal to that of water magic plants."

"Why acquire earth-type magic plants?" Ruilai was puzzled.

A faint smile appeared on Rhett's lips, and he was ready to release the sand elves, but before that, he used his mental power to sense that no one was nearby.

Then, he communicated with his mind and used his mental power to mobilize the sand elves in his body, and then he reluctantly crawled out of Rhett's body.

There was only a yellow shadow, a little like a bear, and a little like a cloud, floating around Leiter's body! For a moment, Ruilai's body froze.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the translucent shadow like smoke with an expression of disbelief. He raised his finger and pointed at the sand elf, saying, "Father, this...what is this?"

He actually already had a vague guess in his mind, but he couldn't avoid asking subconsciously.

Lei Te smiled faintly, took the sand elf back into his body, and looked at Rui Lai with a meaningful look:

"You should be able to guess that what happened just now was... an elf!"

“Elf!” Ruilai’s heart beat violently, and then his face turned red. He walked around in small steps and muttered to himself: “Elf, it’s really an elf!”

He swallowed his saliva, his face flushed, and said, "Congratulations, father. You actually subdued the elf during this trip? What abilities does it have?"

“Yes, this is a sand elf, and it has an ability similar to that of a snow elf—accelerating the growth of earth-type magic plants and magic beasts.

In addition, it can also turn soil and rocks into sand." Lei Te said, and added: "I asked you to purchase seeds of earth magic plants, naturally to maximize the ability of the sand elves."

"Yeah, I understand!" Ruilai nodded, speaking a little quickly, his excitement difficult to contain.

Lei Te thought about it and concealed his ability to comprehend the mysteries.

If I reveal my ability in the mysteries of dispersion in the future, I will just regard it as a gift. Otherwise, it would be against common sense to have such a rich harvest from the elves.
