The return of the lord made everyone in Dark Rock Castle excited and happy. As they walked along the stone paths in the manor and on the way into Dark Rock Castle and up the stairs, servants kept greeting them respectfully.
Lei Te responded to all the enthusiasm along the way.
Gradually coming to the lobby on the fifth floor, Leiter poured himself a glass of red wine, pinched the crystal glass, and shook it gently. The purple-red liquid swirled in it. He whispered, "Sveta, tell me, what happened in the past six months."
"Okay, sir." Sveta, who followed Rhett up, stood up and began to report: "The most important thing is that Madam Klina gave birth to a lively girl."
Lei Te's eyes lit up and he interrupted hurriedly: "What name did Riley and Klina give my granddaughter?"
"Master, it's Irene."
Hearing this, Lei Te quickly opened the system panel and took a look.
[Homeowner: Rhett Green]
[Second generation members: Tucker Green, Ryleigh Green, Tyrus Green]
[Third generation members: Dick Green, Carles Green, Kazena Green, Abel Green, Tracy Green, Irene Green]

[Destiny value: 319]
Seeing a long list of three generations, Rhett was satisfied. The Green family had a new green leaf.
Sveta glanced at the master, smiled happily, and continued to report:
"My comrade-in-arms, Vides, arrived in Dark Eagle City three months ago and joined the security team. Lawrence, who is stationed at the Fire Mine, also received news that he had recently broken through to the third-level knight."
"And Mr. McCoff and Ms. Vicky's son was born in January this year and was named Sabah."
"I heard that Ms. Aura tried to find Lawrence several times, but was dissuaded by the White Hat Mentor and Master Ruilai."
"Bella the porter and Rachel the gardener at the manor started a romantic relationship..."
"besides……"
Listening to the subsequent reports quietly, Lei Te's face became much calmer. Although there were many things, they sounded similar to the simulation. It turned out that nothing serious happened...
Soon after, Sveta stopped reporting, and Rhett tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair and asked casually, "Is that all?"
"Oh, and one more thing!" Sveta patted his head and said, "Someone left you an anonymous letter, which I kept. It was written on the envelope that the sender was your good friend."
"My friend? Interesting..." Rhett knew that it was Black Star who sent him news about the elves. He pretended to be curious, took the letter from Sveta and read it carefully.
After a moment, he put the envelope back in, stood up, patted Sveta on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, Sveta, you have worked hard in the past year. During my absence, everything in the manor was in order, and it was inseparable from your hard work and contribution."
"Don't say that, sir. It's all my duty." Sveta bowed and said, "You haven't been in the territory for a few days in the past year. How about preparing a welcome party for you tonight?"
Lei Te thought for a while and said, "That's fine. The castle hasn't held a banquet for a long time. You can go down and make arrangements. Let Maru prepare the food in advance."
"That's great, sir, the servants have been looking forward to tonight!" Sveta said happily.
As a housekeeper, Sveta knew that it was necessary to hold banquets and dinners from time to time to maintain the vitality of the manor, which could boost everyone's confidence and enthusiasm. Moreover, all activities, if they wanted to be truly effective, could not be separated from the presence of the master.
"Then I'll go down and arrange it now." Sveta bowed and turned to leave.
After Sveta left, Leiter sat quietly on the bench, sipped a glass of red wine, and slowly found the feeling of being at home...
Then he came to the fourth floor and walked along the corridor to the door of Riley's room.
At this moment, a soft and emotional voice was coming through the door, as clear as a wind chime and as slow as a violin.
Boom boom boom
Rhett knocked on the door.
It was Taylor who opened the door. He and Tucker came back with Rhett, but as soon as they returned to Dark Rock Castle, Tucker immediately went to the kitchen to get something to eat, while he came to find Mina.
"My dear father, you are here too. Please come in and take a seat!" Thales moved aside and made a gesture of invitation.
There were many people in the room, and Mina was surrounded by them. Vanessa, Klina, Abel, Carles, Kazena, and Dick, who had just joined, were all listening to Mina's story with great concentration, whether they understood it or not.
Rhett's arrival made these people stand up from the soft blankets and greet him together.
"Oh, it's so lively here. It looks like I've ruined your fun." Rhett said with a smile.
"How could that be! Father, I've just finished telling the story and I was just about to get them a new one!" Mina said nonchalantly.
“Woo wow, woo wow…”
Along with the chaotic sounds in the room, a cry came from Klina's arms, which was particularly harsh.
"Oh, Irene, don't cry, don't cry..." Clina had experience in raising two babies and was no longer as panicked as she was at the beginning. She patted Irene gently and comforted her in a soft voice.
With a smile on his face, Rhett walked forward and observed his little granddaughter. Her skin was fair and elastic. She kicked her limbs with her eyes closed. She was chubby and very cute.
"Father, Irene was listening to the story just now. She was very well behaved and didn't move around. Maybe she is acting like this now because the story was interrupted. Otherwise, you can tell the story to your grandchildren as well. I believe it will definitely attract them!" Taylors said with his eyes rolling.
"Oh? Telling stories..." Rhett's face was strange. He looked down at his small grandchildren, who were looking at him eagerly. Rhett smiled kindly, touched Kazere and Kazena's heads, and said, "It's a small matter. I just prepared a few fairy tales for you."
"Wow, father is a famous novelist, the stories he writes must be great!" Mina looked expectant, sat down again, and listened attentively.
Others also sat down and waited eagerly.
Thales brought a bench to Leiter. Leiter sat down, faced the descendants, and coughed twice: "Well, today I will tell you a story about Little Red Riding Hood."
"Once upon a time, there was a lovely little girl. Everyone who saw her liked her, but the one who liked her the most was her grandmother..."
“.”
Time passed quietly as Rhett told his story, and the children were fascinated.
As dusk fell, there was a knock on Riley's door, and Sveta came to inform everyone that the dinner was ready and would start soon.
"Let's stop here for today's story. It's getting late."
Rhett looked through the clear and transparent window at the descendants in front of him and saw the starry night sky outside. He stood up from his chair and said.
"Yes, Irene is sleeping so soundly..." Klina hugged Irene and chuckled.
Kazena and Cares are about the same age, about three or four years old. They grabbed the hem of Klina's skirt, their faces full of grievance. One of them pointed at her little mouth, and the other touched her belly. They jumped up and down, and their little shoes made a thudding sound on the floor.
As a mother, Klina knew what the two meant. She looked at everyone helplessly and said, "Everyone, it looks like my two little babies are hungry. Can we... go to the banquet first?"
Seeing this, Lei Te immediately said: "In this case, let's go down quickly and don't keep everyone waiting for too long."
Several adults started to move, holding the children's hands and walking towards the corridor. Only Dick was lively and unwilling to walk. He pestered Rhett and even wanted to listen to a story.
Vanessa frowned and dragged him away, but Dick was obviously a little rebellious and kept rushing back from time to time.
Seeing Dick's reluctance, Rhett said with a smile: "Dick! If you don't listen to your mother, the big bad wolf will eat you at night."
Hearing this, Thales' eyes rolled and his mischievous heart suddenly rose.
He rushed out from the shadows and quickened his pace to run towards Dick. His body was wrapped in dark elements, and he looked like a black mass with bared fangs and claws, pretending to be a big bad wolf and roaring: "Awoo! Awoo!"
"Ah, Big Bad Wolf, Big Bad Wolf!" Little Dick didn't understand what was going on. He was still emotionally reeling from the story of Little Red Riding Hood. A trace of fear appeared on his face. He ran downstairs screaming, faster than anyone else.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Taylors put his hands on his hips and laughed, "Tucker, huh, I let you play a prank on me in Dark Mountain, so I'll scare your son! It's tit for tat!"
Mina poked Taylor's waist and said dissatisfiedly: "He is also your nephew, you are so petty!"
Rhett walked at the back and was the last one to arrive at the first floor lobby.
The housekeeper Sveta came over and said, "Master, the party is ready and can start anytime!"
"Well, let's start." said Rhett.
The decoration of Dark Rock Castle is now quite gorgeous, with sky blue and pure white crystal chandeliers complementing each other, and the hall is like a dreamy ocean. Paintings of various styles are hung on the walls, adding an artistic atmosphere. No corner is vacant, and Raylai received a lot of artworks in Dark Eagle City. Those exquisite and beautiful ones were brought to the castle and neatly displayed.
At first glance, Deep Rock Castle today is magnificent and elegant, far surpassing the original Deep Rock Castle Hall.
And this is just the surface. Rhett looked at the servants scattered all over the hall. They were well-mannered, neatly dressed, and numerous, which also symbolized the heritage of a manor.
There were also descendants closer to him, forming a small circle. Rhett felt that without realizing it, the family had already spread widely.
Rhett was wearing a black suit, standing on the red carpet, and said in a deep voice: "Good evening, everyone in Dark Rock Castle. Your expectant faces reflect the bright future of Green Manor. Seeing you is like seeing every bit of progress of Green Manor. The history of Green Manor will not forget every builder. Everyone's contribution is like wind and rain, and is integrated into every inch of land as time flies..."
As an honorable marquis, and with more servants in Dark Rock Castle nowadays, Rhett unconsciously became more solemn on today's occasion. He was not as casual as before, showing the demeanor of a lord and rarely spoke for half an hour.
When the words fell, Lei Te bowed.
Snap Snap Snap
Thunderous applause broke out all around, and the eyes of the servants and maids were bright, with that light of longing.
"Long live the Lord!"
"Always follow the Lord!"
"My Lord, lead us into the light!"
Sveta came up and gave Rhett a crystal glass, then carefully poured half a glass of red wine, and said, "The master's speech made my heart surge!"
"Because you love this place, so you resonate with it." Rhett smiled slightly.
"What the master said makes sense."
"You've been busy all afternoon and your body must be exhausted. Go to the banquet and eat something first." Rhett patted Sveta on the back. The banquet had already begun. After toasting a few glasses of wine, he walked towards Riley who was holding a glass of wine.
"Father, I'm glad you're back. I hope you can stay home longer this time." Riley said with a smile.

The two clinked their glasses gently, Lei Te took a sip of red wine, shrugged and said: "You have grown up, and the facts have proved that you can manage the territory well when I am not here."
"That's different..." Riley shook his head, stared at his father and asked, "Are you leaving again soon?"
Lei Te smiled and said, "Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, I will stay in the territory for a long time this time."
Riley's eyes flashed with joy: "Really? That's great."
The two clinked glasses again, and Raylai asked casually, "Father, where did you take Tucker and Taylor to travel? Did you see any nice scenery along the way?"
"There are so many things to tell you, I can't finish them in a short time." Lei Te said, "But there is something important that I need to tell you, and I need you to keep it secret."
"Please speak, father." Riley said seriously.
Leiter came half a body closer to Ruilai and whispered in Ruilai's ear about Taylors's capture of the Dream Devourer. Then, in Ruilai's shocked eyes, he said, "Then you need to improve the prison in the territory as soon as possible, and also improve the bounty, pursuit, and so on. There are more and more people in the territory now, and most of them are outsiders. If there are criminals in any place in the territory, not just Dark Eagle City, we must try our best to catch them."
Ruilai nodded and said, "I understand. If there are any magician criminals, I will send them to my father."
"Well, confidentiality measures must also be in place."
"clear!"
Songs played at the banquet, graceful figures flashed on the dance floor, and the servants of Dark Rock Castle all learned some dance steps at Sveta's request.
The lively dinner was full of joy and the singing and dancing lasted until late at night.
Rhett, reeking of alcohol, left the table amid calls of greeting and farewell.
Back in the room, Rhett cleared his mind and stared at the starry sky outside the window for a long time before he closed his eyes and silently comprehended the mystery.
Now he is a seventh-level great magician. Sitting in his room, he has a different feeling - it turns out that he has unknowingly achieved such an achievement from a second-level little magician, and is getting closer and closer to the holy realm.
Moreover, ever since the appearance of the Grand Mage, the system panel has brightened slightly, which has always been a source of confusion in his mind.
The Holy Land is the pinnacle of this world. Once you enter it, there will be a fundamental difference. Leiter was curious, will there be any changes by then? "Let's comprehend the mystery first. The vibration mystery is not far from perfection. It can be done in a few months. Don't waste time."
