"Oh?" Lei Te pretended to be surprised, paused and said: "I understand, I will handle this matter properly."
Sveta nodded. Just when he thought the master was going to change the subject, he heard: "Sveta, what do you think about transferring Lawrence to the Fire Mine?"
"But isn't the Fire Mine guarded by your old comrade Vides?" Sveta said in surprise: "Mr. Vides has withdrawn from the canyon defense line, and his ability should be more suitable than Lawrence."
"I understand, there is no doubt about that. Vides is experienced and is more than capable of guarding a small mine. But I think... it's time to move Lawrence to another place for training." Rhett said thoughtfully.
"Master wants Lawrence to change his position to gain experience?" Sveta suddenly realized and said, "To be honest, Lawrence has been the sheriff in Dark Eagle City for a year. If the master wants to train him to be a capable person, it is indeed necessary for him to be familiar with various positions in the territory. The master is more thoughtful than me."
Lei Te smiled and nodded: "Yes, I do have this idea. And Lawrence is really quick to fall in love with someone else. If he develops a philandering personality, it's not what I want to see. Transferring him to the Fire Mine will be a test for him and Aura."
"This kills two birds with one stone. Master, you are wise!" Sveta said admiringly.
Rhett smiled without saying anything and poured himself a glass of blueberry juice.
"Master, I have another question. After you were conferred the title of Marquis, where was your new territory located?" Sveta said, "Should we recruit more people for this?"
"There is no rush this time. Due to the special circumstances and the fact that you have reached the level of a marquis, the time frame for selecting a fiefdom does not need to be too strict. You only need to submit the report within two years."
Sveta nodded and said, "Does the master have a desired territory?"
"Well, it probably extends in the direction of the White Rat Branch." Lei Te said casually. Being able to obtain two points of land is already the limit. If he wants to obtain more land in the distance, he needs to apply for a change of territory, but he has no plans to do so at the moment.
The master seemed to have a special liking for the Monster Mountain Range. This thought flashed through Sveta's mind, and then he said in a joyful tone: "Master, shall we prepare a grand dinner tonight to celebrate your promotion to the Marquis!"
"No need." Leiter refused bluntly, "It's been so long, there's no need to renew it. But I can make a decision. From now on, the salary of every servant in the manor will be doubled! This is the treatment that the servants of the Marquis deserve."
"Oh my God, we all prosper together. I'm sure they will be so excited that they won't be able to sleep after hearing the news." Sveta smiled.
Lei Te took a sip of blueberry juice and stood up: "You go down and announce the news later. I'm going back to my room to rest."
"Master, have a good rest. I'll go down first." Sveta bowed and then turned and went downstairs.
Walking through the corridor and returning to the room, Rhett looked around the room and found nothing had changed.
There was only a square package on the desk, with a pure white envelope underneath.
The package was covered with alchemical patterns and was sealed tightly. Rhett went straight to the desk, opened the envelope and took a quick look. All he saw was Hypast's sincere gratitude and curiosity, as well as the contents of the gift - potion and emerald certificate.
Rhett already knew all this, and immediately followed the instructions on the envelope to open the alchemical device and probed out his mental power.
Rhett discovered that the alchemical device contained specific earth elements with unique quantities and patterns, and the degree of solidification required mental power above the level of a mage to control it precisely, otherwise it could not be opened.
The envelope recorded what the earth element of the alchemical device needed to be changed into. Only by following the instructions could it be opened, just like a combination lock, you must enter the specified password. If an external force forcibly destroyed it, it would probably require several times more destructive power.
All Rhett had to do was adjust it step by step. Not long after, there was a clicking sound from the cube-shaped alchemical device, and the cover on top popped open.
Rhett took a glance and found that there was indeed a bottle of medicine lying quietly in it. The flowing liquid in it was like a blazing flame. The bottle was placed quietly, and the flaming liquid was also shaking slightly.
A light touch of the fingertips can even give off a burning sensation.
"Sanctuary Potion, now Tucker's talent can be improved!" Rhett raised the corner of his mouth and put the potion in his arms.
Then he took the Emerald Certificate next to the potion. It was cool to the touch, with an emerald green color. It was oval in shape, like a tangled vine, with a pair of miniature wings spread out on both sides.
After checking it, Leiter felt that it was just an ordinary alchemical object. He did not find any special function. There was an extremely closed formation inside that concealed a certain aura, which should be used to verify the identity. The only thing worth mentioning was that this thing was very strong. He could not damage it with his own strength. It must be made of extremely precious materials.
After playing with it for a while, Rhett put it into his space ring and left the room.
Dark Eagle City.
Rhett hadn't been here for more than half a year. He walked along the main road of the city and took in the street scene.
Nowadays, the construction of Dark Eagle City has been completed, the flow of people on the streets, and the number of extraordinary people has increased greatly. In terms of liveliness, it is no less lively than Twilight City. In other words, since the news of Leiter's promotion to Marquis came, many people have moved away from Twilight City - they have a unique vision and know that this city has greater potential.
"Look, that's Marquis Leiter?!"
"Oh my God, it is said that this Marquis Leiter has always been elusive, but I actually saw him in person."
"He is so handsome and calm, and has the perfect charm of a mature man."
"It would be nice if I could marry him."
"He is now a level 6 magician. In the future, he will be promoted to a great magician and will become a famous and powerful person in the kingdom! He is the glory of the southwest border!"
On the way here, Rhett did notice many unfamiliar faces, talking about him, and it seemed that they had recently moved to Dark Eagle City.
With a smile on his face and nodding occasionally to the side of the street, Rhett walked all the way to the administrative office.
The semi-elliptical gate of the administrative office is tall and wide. On the first floor are several desks of clerks who receive residents or tourists in the city, asking about policies, renting houses, making complaints, etc.
"Welcome, Lord."
"Welcome, Lord."
Rhett's arrival was like a depth charge, awakening the busy clerks, who hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Everyone has worked hard. The construction of Dark Eagle City cannot be achieved without your help. Please continue to focus on the work at hand." Rhett said with a smile. After a brief consolation, he went up the stairs to the third floor.
"Father, your son Ruilai offers you his sincere congratulations!" Ruilai bowed and said with a smile in the room, "Congratulations, father, on your promotion to marquis!"
"That happened a month ago. There's no need to mention it again. My ears are almost callused from hearing it so much." Lei Te laughed and shook his head. He walked up and patted Rui Lai on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work while I was away. I see that more and more people are coming to Dark Eagle City. I'm sure the affairs are getting busier, right?"
Riley considered his words and said, "That's true, but I enjoy it."
Ruilai poured a cup of tea for his father and asked, "Who did father look for?"
"You know this man, Vaders, my old comrade." Leiter said, "I have great confidence in his ability. He can assist you in managing all the public security issues in Dark Eagle City. You don't need to worry about this anymore. Of course, the highest authority is still in your hands."
"Mr. Vaders..." Riley muttered his name and said slowly: "Since my father has decided this, Mr. Vaders will be the chief sheriff of Dark Eagle City from now on.
When will he take office? I will notify the sheriffs and patrol knights below in advance and ask them to welcome him in advance. "
"It may take a few months. I'm just saying hello in advance." Leiter took a sip of tea and said, "I also want to transfer Lawrence to the Fire Mine to take over Vides' original position."
Ruilai was stunned for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Why did father want to transfer Lawrence away from Dark Eagle City? Did he hear about his relationship with Aura? Is he worried that Karina will take revenge on him later?"
"I did hear about his relationship with Aura, but I have a good relationship with Karina, and she has tacitly approved of their relationship for now." Rhett looked at Riley and said, "I just want Lawrence to be tempered more, and I don't want him to develop a philandering personality."
"Well, I understand what father means." Ray Lai said, "But based on my observation, Lawrence has not been a playboy in the past six months of working in Dark Eagle City. At best, he is hot-blooded and has little experience in dealing with the world."
"I hope so, and I hope it will always be like this in the future." Lei Te finished drinking the hot tea, stood up and said, "I came here to talk about this. I will be away for a few months again. I hope you will take care of the affairs of Dark Eagle City."
After saying that, he took out the transfer documents of Vides and Lawrence and handed them to Riley.
Ruilai just glanced at his father and said in surprise, "Are you leaving again?" But then he hesitated and shrugged helplessly, "Well, father must have something important to do. I wish you all the best."
"You are a sensible child. I feel relieved that Dark Eagle City is in your hands." Lei Te smiled slightly, turned around and waved: "Goodbye, Ruilai."
"Goodbye, father."
After leaving the administrative office, Rhett went to the extraordinary area and went straight to the Rattlesnake Tavern located at the northwest corner of the intersection next to an arch bridge.
However, when Rhett entered, he asked some questions and found out that Lilith was on a business trip to inspect the raw material site. According to the plan, she would not return for at least a week.
This meant that they could not meet this time, and Rhett could only leave a note with some greetings and entrustments.
Then he left again.
Training ground.
"Tadel, your attack angle is too tricky. It always feels like you can't use all your strength when we fight."
"Master Tucker, that's because your physique is too strong. You are more robust than the average person. It would be hard for me to gain the upper hand in a head-on confrontation." Tadel said with a wry smile.
Tucker was shirtless at this time. He touched the back of his head, smiled and said, "Okay, Coors, let's have another sparring match."
Kurth on the side took off his armor and prepared to step forward to spar with him.
But at this moment, a majestic voice came from behind.
"Tucker, come here, I have something to talk to you about!"
The three of them froze for a moment. Tucker was the first to react, with a look of surprise on his face: "Oh, it's my father's voice!"
Then he looked at Tadel and Coors and asked, "When did Father come?"
"Well, maybe... when we were sparring just now?"
Tadel's eyes rolled around, and when he found an opportunity, he blamed Coors: "You guy, I was so absorbed in the sparring with Master Tucker that I didn't notice the arrival of the Lord. But you were doing nothing on the side, why didn't you remind me in time?"
"I have nothing to do? What a joke. I was just worried that you were too weak and would be seriously injured by Master Tucker, so I was fascinated watching from the side." Coors knew he was guilty, but he also made an excuse.
"Haha, father, I miss you so much!" Tucker seemed to have forgotten the previous question and immediately ran like a little giant, rushing towards Rhett, with his hands stretched out habitually. But seeing Rhett's glaring expression, he suddenly stopped, laughed dryly twice, and gave up the idea of death entanglement.
"Tucker, it looks like you've been keeping up with your training, which is good." Rhett said to Tucker, who was standing straight but sweating profusely.
"Of course!" Tucker smiled complacently, and then said: "Father, where have you been for the past six months? How come you were promoted to Marquis all of a sudden! It's so unexpected..."
Lei Te didn't rush to answer. He paused and said, "Come with me first."
"Oh." Tucker looked at his father's leaving back and followed him obediently.
The two left the training ground and rode on the Fire Grid to the deep area of the Dark Eagle branch.
In a quiet forest, Huo Ge landed, sent Rhett and Tucker to the ground, then jumped onto a branch on the side and waited quietly.
"Father, why did you bring me here?" Tucker looked around. It was a quiet environment, without even the sound of mosquitoes.
Rhett also carefully sensed it first, and when he found that there was no one around, he felt relieved and said to Tucker: "I brought you a good thing."
After saying that, he took out the Holy Domain Bloodline Potion from his arms and displayed it in the palm of his hand.
"What kind of potion is this? It looks beautiful." Tucker stared at the potion in Leiter's hand curiously, attracted by its beautiful appearance. But he didn't know how important it was.
"This is a potion that can improve your talent."
"Improving talents...bloodline potion?!" Tucker blurted out, the curiosity in his eyes was replaced by horror! He widened his eyes, opened his mouth like an O, and said with some stammering: "This, this is too shocking. Father, you have been away for so long, I am afraid you have spent a lot of energy on me? Is this still the thing of the previous organization?"
"That's right." Lei Te thought for a moment and nodded. He had previously attributed the Sanctuary Potion to the organization behind Black Star as a lie. But now he knew that Hypast was the leader of the organization, so it could be said that the lie had become a fact.
I wanted to finish the extra chapter today, but something else delayed me, so I just finished coding and revising it now.
