"It's very concentrated, and it's the freshest blueberries in autumn. I just picked them the day before yesterday!" Henk looked pleased, took two steps back and sat down.

Noticing the stone box in Leiter's hand, Henk looked at it curiously for a while, blinked, and suddenly pointed at the box and said in surprise:

"My Lord, is there... a monster cub in here?"

"You figured it out. Yes, it's a white-eyed rat cub with intermediate bloodline potential."

Leiter graciously admitted it, opening the lid and dispelling the dark element, grabbing the mouse by the scruff of the neck and throwing it directly at Hunk.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the little mouse, Henk's eyes widened, he stretched out his hands, and carefully took it - this was a precious Warcraft cub, and no mistake could be allowed.

Chirp Chirp The little guy who was thrown out suddenly saw the light and became panic-stricken in an instant. He rolled over in Henk's palm and unconsciously made a very childish cry.

After a few seconds, it squinted its eyes, opened them and looked at the strange world around it, twisting and turning, as if everything was new...

The first thing it saw was Henk, who had a distinctive appearance and a bald head and a scarred face, staring at it. Out of fear of the unknown, the white-eyed rat cub trembled and dared not move.

"Cute little guy!" Henk was immediately attracted by the white-eyed mouse cub. He stared at it intently and gently stroked the light white hair that had grown after a week of development. It was warm and soft, and he could feel the red skin with a little force.

"Squeak." The white-eyed mouse cub cried weakly twice, lying in the palm of the hand and refusing to get up, looking a little listless.

Henk reacted with a sudden thought, and hurriedly left his seat, ran to the drawer at the foot of the wall, rummaged through the boxes, and found a small bag of bluebell leaves. He quickly returned to the white-eyed mouse and handed over a green bell-shaped leaf. The white-eyed mouse's tender red nose twitched, and then its small eyes lit up. It smelled very tempting!

The white-eyed mouse cub instantly forgot everything and opened its little mouth to nibble on the food bit by bit.

At this time, Lei Te, who had been watching from the side, smiled and said, "You are so skilled in training it for the first time. It seems that handing it over to you is the right decision!"

"Of course... What?" Henk's smile suddenly stopped. He was stunned and said in disbelief: "Leave it to me?"

Lei Te said as a matter of course: "Of course, is there a third person here? Besides, I already have a magic beast. If I don't hand the cub over to a reliable person, will I let it go when it grows up?"

"I remember that Thales didn't seem to have any Warcraft yet." Henk said embarrassedly.

"During this trip, I found an ice rat for him."

"Then Wodragon..."

This time, Lei Te interrupted him before he could finish his words: "He is different from you. He has not completely surrendered to me. We are more like good friends. And you are an indispensable member of me and the entire territory, a dedicated alchemist. This is what you deserve. I am telling you as a lord, you don't need to refuse!"

The words fell.

The room fell into absolute silence.

Henk was stunned for a moment, his expression was moved, and his eyes were filled with deep emotion. After a moment, he took a deep breath, stood up quickly, bowed solemnly, touched his chest and said:

"Thank you, Lord. Your generosity is like the sun's radiance, which cleanses everyone's soul. I will treat this white-eyed rat cub well!"

"You're welcome." Lei Te smiled, and then as if he suddenly remembered, he asked, "By the way, do you feel lonely and bored staying in your room all day?"

The emotion on Henk's face had not yet faded, and he immediately replied: "My Lord, as an alchemist, patience is a compulsory course. As long as you immerse yourself in the fun of alchemy potions, you will not feel bored at all."

After that, he lowered his head and glanced at the white-eyed rat cub, "Besides, now that I have this little guy, my future life will surely be more interesting..."

Lei Te raised his eyebrows, nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I remember you said that you had a younger brother who went to the royal city?"

"Yes, that's true. I told you about it when I first joined Eagle Town." Henk replied.

"How does its subsequent alchemy level compare to yours?"

After thinking carefully, Henk said, "I have to admit that Felix may have been tempered more in the environment of the royal city and absorbed more nutrients. After returning one time, when we exchanged alchemy knowledge, I could clearly feel from our conversation that he had a deeper understanding of alchemy than I did. So, in the past, my brother's alchemy level should have been higher than mine."

"But it's different now. Thanks to the alchemy manual you gave me last time, I have benefited a lot from it. Now I have absolute confidence that I am even better than that guy Felix!"

Henk finished his speech with a hint of confidence on his face, and then added: "There are also Hernan and Philos who joined at the beginning of the year. One is a second-level magician and the other is a first-level magician. Although they are not very talented in alchemy, they have made rapid progress recently thanks to the help of the manual!"

"Hmm...not bad." Lei Te nodded in approval. "In that case, I plan to set a small goal for the Alchemy Tower."

"Please speak, sir."

"The first step is for everyone to be able to successfully refine the Moonlight Potion and the Boiling Potion. The second step is to increase the success rate of these two potions as much as possible and strive to reach the qualified standards."

Henk touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Except for Unica, it shouldn't be difficult. I believe that with the help of the manual, any magician who is interested in alchemy will be able to achieve this sooner or later."

After saying that, while Rhett was silent, a look of hesitation appeared on Henk's face.

Lei Te noticed something unusual, frowned, and immediately asked: "Is there anything else? If so, please tell me as soon as possible."

Henk nodded heavily: "I have some important information to report. In the past few months, I have discovered some strange phenomena!"

Lei Te asked in surprise: "What happened?"

"It's the abnormality in the magic plant cultivation field. In recent months, I have gradually discovered that the growth rate of the earth-type magic plants there is surprisingly fast and vigorous. It is not inferior to the water-type magic plants blessed by the snow elves! Those earth-type magic plants have only been planted for four or five months, but the growth progress is as if they have grown for nearly a year. It is really unbelievable..." Henk's eyes were filled with joy and doubt.

Hearing this, Leiter's eyes suddenly realized... So this is what he was talking about. It was all his fault that he had never told Henk about the sand elves, which led to the misunderstanding.

He shook his head, drank the fruit tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Hunk, come with me."

Looking at Rhett's back, a strange thought emerged in Henk's mind. Judging from the lord's expression, it seemed that he had known it for a long time?

So, with great curiosity, Henk put the white-eyed mouse cubs into a box and followed Rhett's footsteps without any delay.

The magic plant cultivation field was only one kilometer away from the alchemy tower, and the two arrived there quickly.

What meets the eye is a sea of ​​magical plants with blue and yellow interlaced and colorful background.

After entering, Rhett whistled first!

Having received the order in advance, Huo Ge, who had been in the air and had not gone far away, swooped down in response.

A gust of air caused the magic plant bush to sway, and the branches and vines rustled.

Rhett touched Huo Ge's head, and the latter obediently spread his right wing and allowed Rhett to take off a black package.

Only after Huo Ge flew away did Lei Te open the package.

Under Henk's curious gaze, he pulled out a two-meter-long dark yellow vine covered with fine gray-white lines, and at one end was a light yellow round fruit the size of a walnut.

Henk's eyes widened as he saw clearly what Leiter took out of the package. He exclaimed, "This... this is a high-level earth-type magic plant, mud berry?!"

Lei Te smiled and said, "As you can see, the two mud berries are also the harvest of the White Rat Branch this time."

"This, this is great!" Henk took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. The shock in his pupils was replaced by joy. He volunteered: "What are you waiting for? Leave it to me. I will plant it."

Leiter did not refuse and directly handed the two mud berries to Henk. The latter hurried to the area of ​​earth magic plants, picked up the tools on the ground, and turned the soil - dug a hole - filled the soil in one go, with extremely skilled movements. After all, an alchemist who can't farm is not an excellent alchemist! Finally, he stepped on the land, clapped his hands and returned to Leiter happily. He heard Leiter say again: "Henk, there is another secret, it's time to tell you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, in front of Henk's puzzled and curious eyes, a sand-yellow shadow gradually emerged beside Rhett. It was more than one meter high and floated quietly in the air, quite quietly.

In an instant, the magic plant cultivation field fell into an eerie silence.

Henk's facial expression was quite interesting, his mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg, his eyes were wide open, and it lasted for several seconds before he gradually realized what had just happened - his lord had tamed a sand elf!

He couldn't think of any other way to explain the scene before him except using elves.

"Is this really a sand elf?" Although Henk had a strong intuition, he couldn't help but sigh and ask.

"That's right." Lei Te calmly controlled the sand elf to fly towards the mud berry planting area, and explained: "To be honest, the last time I went to the Kingdom of Rem for work, I accidentally encountered this sand elf, and I subdued it by chance."

Henk's eyes sparkled as he looked at Rhett's body with great admiration! "Lord, you are the chosen one, you are the only one!"

Lei Te laughed and shook his head. He did not respond, but said: "From now on, the magic plant cultivation field will always adhere to the previous rules - except for you and me, and a few people who know about it, no one else can be allowed to come in."

"Understood!" Henk said in a sonorous and powerful voice, his face serious: "Please rest assured, Lord, I am the only one who takes care of this place. Only Master Ruilai and Master Taylor sometimes come here. No one else has the permission to enter!"

"That's great, keep it up."

Then, the two of them had a brief chat about the alchemy tower and the magic plant cultivation field.

When we returned to the manor, it was already getting dark.

As night fell and shadows blurred, a sumptuous dinner was held in the castle.

After having a good meal and a drink, Rhett returned to the lobby on the fifth floor alone and sat down on a bench near the fireplace.

Feeling the warm current behind me, soon, the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs was heard, getting closer and closer.

Sveta came up with a glass of wine and greeted, "Good evening, sir."

"Good evening, Sveta." Rhett turned his head and looked.

Sveta touched the handrail and said, “Master, Master Relai and Klina went to Dam Town and said they would stay for a few days, and they haven’t come back yet.

Before leaving, Master Ruilai specifically told me that when you come back, I will report to you about the construction and development of Dark Eagle City and Deep Rock Village."

Rhett sat up straight, "No problem, Sveta, go ahead."

Sveta first stepped forward and poured Leiter half a glass of wine, then stepped back two steps to keep his distance:

"As of today, there are 4,500 registered residents in the entire territory. Since you were promoted to earl and founded Dark Eagle City, the influx of population has exploded again.

Although it has slowed down recently, it still maintains an inflow.

Most of these influxes were ordinary civilians who were assigned to settle down and farm in Deep Rock Village. Some of them were unwilling to farm and had no special skills, so they did manual labor or service work in Dark Eagle City.

A small number of people, about a hundred in number, who have special skills, were arranged to open shops in Dark Eagle City."

Lei Te held his chin with his right hand, and kept listening. When he heard this, he suddenly had an idea and asked casually, "I understand. Apart from that, there have been no recent cases of kidnapping men and women or opening of illicit gambling dens, right?"

"This...some people had this idea in the early days, but after being severely punished, no one dared to test the law anymore."

Well, I don't want chaos in the territory. Scattered surname transactions don't matter, but the signs of organization and scale must be curbed... Lei Te nodded: "How many extraordinary people are there in Dark Eagle City?"

"According to the daily statistics of the guards, the number of extraordinary people fluctuates between fifty and one hundred every day, and the overall number is slowly increasing.

Among them, there are 23 permanent supernormal people, and so far 11 of them have purchased properties in Dark Eagle City, including residences and shops. "

"What is the strength level of the resident extraordinary?"

“Master Ruilai said that only one is a third-level knight, three are second-level knights, and the rest are first-level knights.

But most of these people are nobles, Master Ruilai guessed that it should be the investment made by the forces behind it. "

That should be the case. It is normal for nobles to invest in other territories and open shops... Leiter held the crystal goblet, took a sip of wine, and continued to ask: "During the month I was away, have there been any disputes between extraordinary people and civilians?"

Sveta pondered and said, "It seems that there were a few incidents, but there were no casualties. They were stopped in time by the patrol team led by Shilin."

"Well done." Leiter affirmed: "We cannot change a person's morality and character, but as long as he is in Dark Eagle City, he will be bound by our rules and force."

"The master is right."

After talking about some specific matters of the territory, Sveta left with the bottle of wine, and Rhett also stood up and walked along the corridor back to his room.
