Lei Te was walking alone on the road, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, muttering: "There are two more white-eyed rat pups, which need to be distributed as soon as possible. But who should I give them to?"
He silently thought of some candidates in his mind. Vanessa, Klina, and Mina could tame the two cubs and have a close relationship with him, but the three of them were noble ladies, and it was enough for them to take care of internal affairs. They might not often participate in battles in the future - for them, magical pets meant more to them than combat partners.
But his three sons all had pets. His old comrade-in-arms, Vides, was far away in Young Eagle Town. If he rushed over now to give it to him, it might affect his chances of winning him back in the future.
Then, the remaining targets are Shirin, Tadel, Coors, and Flano...
"Xilin's talent is quite good among these people. Her future ceiling is definitely higher than others. It would be more appropriate to assign her a white-eyed rat cub. You can consider it."
"As for Tadel, Coors, Flano, and Laurin, their talents are not much different from each other, but their future achievements are destined to be limited. It is very difficult for them to be promoted to Earth Knights. At present, resources are limited, and it is impossible to treat everyone equally..."
"Oh, and there's Henk! He's been working diligently and keeping a low profile since he joined the territory. He even took part in the canyon defense. Well... let's give him the second assigned spot!"
Now, there is only one candidate left who has not been determined. Rhett was thinking while walking on the road to the Alchemy Tower.
With the development of Dark Eagle City, many routes have been built to travel between different places, some are stone roads, some are gravel paths. Now he walked from the wasteland to a stone road, and then met a fork in the road, and turned north along the gravel path.
Not long after walking, we heard a steady sound of footsteps ahead. The pace was not fast, but unusually steady.
Soon, a knight patrol team came into view. The leader was Tadel, holding a sword and shield, walking at the front of the team. The knights behind him were all wearing silver-white armor, divided into two columns, and also moved forward steadily. As the number of apprentice knights in the training ground increased, the time spent on basic training was correspondingly reduced. Every day, a group of them would be selected to patrol in rotation with Kurs.
"Hello, Lord!" After approaching, the knight team immediately stopped and Tadel greeted with a respectful look on his face.
Lei Te nodded and said, "Tadel, I hope you can perform well and live up to the style of Dark Eagle City."
"Yes, my Lord!"
Rhett kept smiling, walked to the side of the trail, waved his hand and said, "Tadel, you continue to lead the patrol. Lawrence, come over here."
What did the Lord want to talk to Lawrence about again... Tadel glanced at Lawrence imperceptibly, recalling his outstanding performance since he met him, and seemed to be thinking about something. After the other party broke through from an apprentice knight to a first-level knight, it took about a year for him to reach the peak of a first-level knight.
He had only heard of this kind of training speed in rumors in his life, and only a knight genius could achieve this level.
In the entire territory, I'm afraid only the Lord has such a talent? At this time, including the other knights, they all looked sideways, with a hint of envy in their eyes, at a young man.
Lawrence was surprised to be watched. He walked out of the team and came to Lei Te: "My Lord, what do you want to talk to me about?"
When the knight patrol team quickly moved away, Leiter smiled softly and said, "Lawrence, what stage of knight training have you reached now?"
Hearing this question, Lawrence felt relieved and said proudly, "My Lord, I have already cultivated to the peak of the first-level knight, and even touched the bottleneck of the second-level knight!"
"Oh?" Lei Te was surprised: "Doesn't that mean that I can break through to level 2 next year?"
After a little hesitation, Lawrence's eyes brightened and he said confidently, "Of course I can do it!"
"You're too kind, because you are just like the vast night sky. No matter how bright the stars are, they are just decorations." Lawrence said with an idea.
"Haha, that's a good point. Here's a reward for you."
Rhett smiled and shook his head, then pinched a little mouse out of the stone box.
"Reward?" Lawrence was surprised, and then he saw a little white-haired mouse thrown to him by Rhett. Not sensing any danger, he hurriedly caught it in his hand, not daring to throw away the lord's gift.
"Is this... a white-eyed rat?" Lawrence was shocked after seeing it clearly. He had seen some illustrated books that recorded information about magical beasts on the bookshelf in the sub-castle. The little rat in front of him was none other than the white-eyed rat, a mid-level bloodline magical beast with the most widespread branch of the white rat!
The lord actually got a white-eyed rat cub?
No, there were two. Lawrence's pupils shrank as he heard the movement of another one in the stone box.
Then he shuddered and reacted quickly. He held the cub carefully in his hands, thinking, is the lord going to give him a monster cub? Oh my God!
As if pie in the sky fell, Lawrence fell into ecstasy, but was flattered and said:
"My Lord, this reward is too precious. I have already received too much favor from you!"
Leiter smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lawrence, don't refuse. You are destined to grow into the backbone of the territory, shouldering heavier responsibilities than ordinary people, and being the first to charge forward. You can treat this white-eyed rat as a guardian beast of the territory, and I'll just give it to you to take care of..."
Lawrence blinked, the surprise in his heart slowly subsided, he took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I understand, Lord. I will definitely obey your orders, take good care of it, and fight side by side with it on the road to your glory!"
Leiter showed a satisfied smile on his face and patted Lawrence on the shoulder: "That's right..."
After saying goodbye to Lawrence, Rhett continued north along the gray gravel path and soon arrived at the Alchemy Tower.
"Oh, Lord, I knew you were back when I heard the familiar footsteps."
As soon as he reached the third floor and stepped onto the circular black brick floor of the wooden ring tower, Henk's door opened from the inside, revealing a smooth forehead and a smile on his scarred face.
At the same time, he waved: "Please come in, I just made a pot of fruit tea."
Rhett walked in, sat on the soft chair against the wall, and looked around the room. Well, it wasn't messy or dirty, which was a big improvement from the last time he came.
Soon, Henk handed over a cup of steaming fruit tea with blue-black liquid flowing in it.
Second update, I will try to disassemble and develop it today.
