Training ground.

The knights' shouts were in unison, their blood boiling, and resounding through the sky. Each of them carried heavy objects, raised their shields and swung their swords, practicing one set of moves after another. And if you look closely, these people are practicing stabbing, defense, and positioning, and are not good at one-on-one fighting. In fact, from their positions and angles of attack, they are more suitable for cooperation on the battlefield.

The two orcs, the Minotaur with Giant Horns and the Pig-headed Man with Black Skin, were sitting on a huge stone block not far away, with several roasted animal legs placed beside them. They were both eating with big mouthfuls of grunts.

Initially, the two orcs joined the training ground to assist in the training in order to deal with the Ring Tower incident in the early simulation. Later, the plan was changed, so the time for the two orcs to practice with each other was reduced, but they did not give up.

But in the past month, for some unknown reason, the training ground received orders from Rhett and suddenly increased the intensity of the training plan, and directly restored the original training time and goals.

Now the knights in the training ground have to spend a lot of time and energy every day fighting against Minotaur and Pig-headed Men to enhance their ability and experience in fighting against Orcs.

Now, with the rise of Dark Eagle City's reputation, the permanent and floating populations have increased significantly, and it has become a pearl of the plains on the southwest border. As a lord, Rhett has benefited from this. The tax revenue has made the Green family richer, and there are many knights who have come to join them.

Looking around, there are nearly a hundred knights participating in training in the training ground alone, not to mention the knights patrolling and guarding the streets and villages throughout the territory.

The scene of everyone training together is very spectacular and grand.

At the same time, a one-eyed man, looking majestic, was moving through the square formation where the knights were training.

"Angela, stab faster, or I'll put more weight on your arm!"

"Yes, instructor!"

"Prizzi, why is today's momentum not as strong as yesterday!"

"And Orix, you too, don't think I don't know where you and Prizzi went last night!"

The two people who were called out felt a jolt in their hearts and secretly complained, but they did not dare to show it on their faces. Then, they heard the instructor say: "Humph! Have you forgotten what I did before? I am the chief sheriff of Dark Eagle City, and I am very familiar with Dark Eagle City. I often smell the perfume on you in some shady taverns, I can't be wrong!"

The two men met the one-eyed man's stern gaze and laughed dryly: "Instructor, you absolutely wronged us. Who would dare to mess around during this special period? It's mainly because the Rattlesnake Tavern had a new kind of strong liquor yesterday, and we did drink too much."

"I don't care about that. Anyway, this won't happen again!" The one-eyed man punched the two men in the chest and continued to move among the groups of knights.

He has a sharp eye and is meticulous, supervising patrols and correcting any deficiencies.

From time to time, there were serious and loud reprimands coming from the knights' team, and the atmosphere of the entire team was quite tense and solemn.

Not far away, Rhett sat on a stone block against the wall, watching the scene quietly.

Until the red sun rose into the sky, the gray world was illuminated by the light of dawn. Not long after, the morning exercise came to an end. The one-eyed man called a halt to the training, made a brief summary, and then disbanded the team.

The one-eyed man was none other than Vides. According to the plan made more than a year ago, Rhett wanted him to serve as the Chief Sheriff of Dark Eagle City. In fact, after Vides arrived, he did serve as the Sheriff for a year, and if nothing unexpected happened, he should have continued to serve.

However, a month ago, Lei Te had realized both the Mystery of Shock and the Mystery of Dispersion to perfection, and started another simulation. A major event occurred, forcing him to prepare for a rainy day again - a great war started on the cold current defense line.

The Kingdom of Jinlun called for a nationwide conscription, gathering nearly half of the nobles to form a powerful army to join the cold front. Lei Te naturally responded actively, not only to contribute to the fight against the orcs, but also to seize the opportunity to harvest destiny value on this battlefield.

"Rhett, you came really early today. Morning exercise is over. Let's go. It's time to eat."

After the knights trotted out of the training ground in an orderly manner, Vides walked towards Rhett and forced a rare smile.

"No, I had a simple meal before leaving the castle. I have some things to do in Dark Eagle City later." Rhett shook his head and said, "Vides, you have worked hard these days. I transferred you from the idle position of sheriff to train so many knights. It must be very tiring."

"I am a little tired, but that's secondary. The main thing is that I'm not as free as before." Vides didn't act pretentiously with Rhett. He told the truth, then sighed, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

Rhett smiled and said teasingly, "Freedom? I've never seen you complain about it before in the army. I think you miss your beautiful Miss Daisy..."

"Ahem." As if he had been exposed, Vides' face turned red and he said awkwardly: "Well... we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"You're right..." Lei Te nodded, feeling a little guilty, so he said after a moment's silence: "In that case, I will allow Daisy to move to the sub-fortress and live with you, and she does not need to join Green Manor."

"This... isn't a good idea. There has never been such a precedent in Green Manor." Vides hesitated.

Leiter frowned at Vides and said, "What are you worried about? It's not your style to be timid! Show us how decisive you were when we fought side by side!"

"That's different..." Widdes shook his head and said, "Daisy and I haven't gotten married yet. She has always been a virgin."

Vides said cautiously again: "If we don't end up together, wouldn't that delay her?"

Even though Vides has been to the battlefield and killed orcs, and is serious and meticulous in his work, he is not much better than the simple-minded orcs emotionally, and is very rigid and stubborn.

Rhett looked at his good comrade deeply, touched his chin, thought seriously for a while, and said, "Since you love her so much, I have to help you! Let Daisy move in and prepare a separate room for her. Besides, you have helped me so much in the past few years, and I am worried that I can't repay you."

Wides' eyes were filled with joy and he looked touched: "Thank you very much!"

"Why are you thanking me?" Rhett patted Vides' shoulder, shook his head and laughed, then joked, "By the way, if you marry Daisy, you won't have to worry so much. So... when are you going to propose?"

"Just for the next two years. After I save up some more gold coins, I'll find a chance to talk to Daisy about this." Vides said softly, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"If you need money, I can lend it to you." Lei Te said seriously, "And you don't have to pay it back."

"Haha, forget it!" Vides laughed heartily: "There are more than one important thing in life, and I don't have the habit of relying on others."

The two chatted briefly and then said goodbye to each other. Lei Te left the training ground and headed for Dark Eagle City.

Dark Eagle City, a dark dungeon, echoes from time to time with screams of fear and the metallic sound of iron chains colliding.

Under the dim light, Riley and Taylor stood side by side, with Rhett standing in front of them.

In a cell in front of them, a thin man with disheveled hair was imprisoned, and on the floor in the corner were wine bottles, plates, leftovers, etc.

At this moment, a thin man with disheveled hair was sitting on the ground, looking wretched, his eyes closed, his face full of pain and struggle, with drops of cold sweat pouring out.

Ruilai said to Lei Te: "Father, this man has been using his extraordinary abilities to commit crimes in various places in our territory for half a year, raping and killing dozens of women. He was arrested half a month ago in Shenyan Village while committing crimes."

"snort!"

Rhett looked at the man in the prison with a cold look in his eyes. This man was a scum who deserved to be put to death. His only value was to become the nourishment for Thales to devour so that he could survive.

In fact, ever since the Dark Eagle City territory has become more well-known and its favorable environment in all aspects has attracted a large influx of population, it is inevitable that the number of criminals will increase.

He looked around and saw dozens of cells, most of which were empty. A dozen of them held magicians, but they were all low-level magicians, and half of them were secondary. Although not strong, they could still meet Thales's devouring needs.

At this time, Thales spoke again: "Father, Rayleigh, I think we should keep fewer magician criminals in prison in the future. After Dream Eater devours a few times, it needs to rest and relax. After testing, it is enough to keep about six or seven, but this requires excluding the secondary magicians, whose quality is not enough."

Lei Te nodded at this time: "Then let's do as Thales said. From now on, all the death row prisoners of secondary magicians can be directly executed. It would be best if the third-level magicians were also executed. Your current strength may not be able to keep a firm control at all times."

"No problem, father!" Riley nodded.

Soon after, the Dream Devouring Spirit emerged from the heads of those people, like a ghost in the night, and flew back into Thales' body with the results of the devouring. Thales closed his eyes, digested it for a few minutes, opened his eyes and said slowly: "This devouring is over, and I should go back to the Alchemy Tower. I will come back in a week."

Lei Te patted Riley and Taylor's shoulders with both hands, "You two, practice well when you go back, take the time to meditate, and work hard to improve your spellcasting skills."

In the past two years, Riley and Thales have been busy with Dark Eagle City affairs, one busy with alchemy research, and although meditation, as a fundamental skill, has not been neglected, the time spent on spellcasting training has unconsciously decreased.

Leiter noticed this, but he didn't say anything before, thinking that it was fine to keep the status quo. But now it's different, they will go to the battlefield in a year, so it's necessary to emphasize that they should make up for their lessons and maintain their combat level.

"Then Thales, you should stay in Dark Eagle City more from now on. The extraordinary training ground that we planned half a year ago has been completed. We can train together, and I can also teach you how to practice magic." Riley looked at Thales and said.

The extraordinary training ground is located on the outskirts of Dark Eagle City. It was originally Ruilai's idea. It solved the pain points of there being too many extraordinary people in the city, making training quite troublesome, running to the Dark Eagle branch for training being prone to danger, and outdoor training being prone to robbery. Rhett readily adopted it, and it was built under the leadership of Maruna, a mid-level alchemy equipment master.

Lei Te said in approval: "Rui Lai's suggestion is good. Taylors, you can stay in Dark Eagle City temporarily. I will come over to guide you from time to time!"

"Well... okay." Thales hesitated and agreed.

Ruilai looked thoughtful, and said, "Father, you can not only guide us, but also guide other extraordinary clients occasionally, which can also increase the reputation of the training ground industry."

Lei Te touched his chin and said, "Of course, it's all right. That's it."

Afterwards, Leiter personally killed several death row prisoners in the prison, reducing the number to single digits, and then left the dungeon.

Summer goes and winter comes, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.

Dark Rock Castle.

Rhett was sitting on the bed in his room, comprehending the mysteries of the earth element. Now that he had perfected the mysteries of dispersion and vibration, and had a good grasp of the mystery of condensation, his combat power had reached a terrifying level.

He was confident that he could fight against enemies of higher levels. The blessing of Xuan Ao on him could definitely make him ignore the difference in mental strength of one level. But at the same time, his strength had also reached a bottleneck. In the short term, it seemed that apart from breaking through the level, it would be difficult for him to improve his combat effectiveness.

The surrounding yellow sand was all around, seemingly ever-changing. Lei Te was in the ocean of earth element. Soon after, he opened his eyes and sighed: "Alas."

"It still doesn't work. Without a special affinity for the mysteries, comprehending the mysteries of Condensation is extremely slow. It's totally incomparable to the other two mysteries!"

Rhett got out of bed, sat down at the desk, took out the "Elf Illustrated Guide" that Prince Hogus had given him from the space ring, opened it and took a look.

He first turned to the catalog page, and with a quick glance, Rhett locked onto several elves that might be related to the earth element.

"Swamp spirits can accelerate the growth of water and earth magic plants and magic beasts. There is no record of the taming process, and no image record."

"Rock Spirits can accelerate the growth of earth-type magic plants and magic beasts. There is no record of the taming process, and no image record."

"Magazine spirits can accelerate the growth of earth and fire magic plants and magic beasts..."

After flipping through the elf illustrations again, Rhett found these three types. Among them, the Rock Elf was undoubtedly an earth elf. Rhett even suspected that the elf might contain the mystery of Silk Condensation. If he could recover it, it would definitely be of great help to him.

In addition, the other two elves are rare in the entire elf illustration book. They can actually bless both types of magical plants, which makes Rhett a little puzzled.

After a little thought, he decided to open the system and simulate it again. Now he has developed a habit. Even if the reality has not changed much, he will simulate it every three months to see if there will be any news from the elves. Although he has not seen any news from the elves for more than a year, he cannot be careless and miss it.

I collaborated with others on this and wrote "Be a Good Lord Before Becoming a God", which is also a fantasy lord novel. If you like it, you can take a look!
