Rhett dived into the deep forest and did not start to stroll leisurely until he was out of the sight and perception of the caravan members.

"I have to say, the colorful pine forest is very beautiful, but it is hard to see from the front line." Rhett put his hands behind his back and took a leisurely stroll.

The colorful pine needles are everywhere, like a neon forest.

Rhett relaxed for a while, and during that time he also paid some attention to the situation in the colorful pine forest.

As expected, there were no major discoveries here. Some wild rabbits, wild vegetables, and common medicinal herbs were seen, but they were not pleasing to the eye.

We returned to the caravan and set off again. Nothing unexpected happened on the rest of the journey.

The next day, December 11, when Rhett led the caravan and stepped into the red soil, he knew they were almost there.

They arrived at the Red Iron Mountain, which was already within the territory of Baron Gary and was only a few kilometers away from Dam Town.

This was once a mine.

As for the hematite deposits, Ruilai told him last month that the veins here had been fully developed eight years ago.

The land in this small area appears red due to the influence of hematite veins.

Chitie Mountain is a miniature mountain, about fifty meters high.

From a distance, although the mountain is rocky and uneven, it seems to have been carefully planned. Not only have several safe and convenient mountain climbing trails been paved, but many magical plants with copper-colored trunks have also been planted.

The Rock Iron Tree is one of the hardest trees among the lower-grade magic plants. It is often used for making special roads, building fortresses, housing, and alchemical equipment.

Lei Te's eyes focused and he could easily recognize the type of magic plant. In the canyon defense line, he often saw rock iron wood transported from the rear to make equipment, mechanisms, defense lines, etc.

"However, this number is a bit too much for a petty baron." He began to wonder.

Looking around, apart from the Red Iron Mountain, the reddish land surrounding the Red Iron Mountain, including the one where he was standing, had a Red Iron tree planted every ten meters or so, but there was not a single tree in other places.

As if he had figured something out, he looked down at the ground beneath his feet and gently grabbed a handful of soil. The temperature was slightly higher than that in the air.

Feeling it carefully, I indeed detected a special and weak fluctuation of the earth element.

It seems that this kind of land is beneficial to the ironwood, Rhett muttered.

"Legend has it that some mineral veins that are old enough will create an environment that is conducive to the growth of magical beasts and magical plants. It seems to be true." Rhett's eyes flickered, and he recalled some of his past experiences.

Although the principle is unclear, this effect will not last long. It is said that it is the afterglow of the ancient years of the mine.

The sunset is beautiful, but it is near dusk.

Often, it will disappear in a few years or even decades, and its value will be greatly reduced.

He no longer paid attention to Chitie Mountain and brought the convoy to the gate of Dam Town.

Dam Town has not existed for a long time, but it has a development period of more than ten years longer than Eagle Town.

Today, Baron Gary is the second generation lord of Dam Town. The first generation lord, coincidentally, was once a soldier on the front line of the canyon, made meritorious service, and became a nobleman along the same path as Leiter.

Moreover, he and Rhett are the only two meritorious nobles in the 30 years since the establishment of the Canyon Defense Line.

Therefore, Dam Town is the territory closest to Eagle Town.

If you go in another direction, you may have to travel for several more days before you can reach the noble territory.

This time their route is east because their final destination is Twilight City.

To the west is the direction of the canyon defense line, which is desolate all the way. In this area, the third meritorious noble has not yet been born.

"Welcome, distinguished guests. Have fun in Dam Town!" shouted the two knights at the town gate.

Ruilai and Taklem had been to Dam Town more than once, and they recognized the team of seven guards at the gate.

Especially when they saw the logo on the caravan carriage, a handsome little eagle with its wings spread, and the large amount of cargo on board, their identity became even clearer.

"The Fire Lion, judging by its size, is a late-stage first-order magical beast. The combined strength of Mr. Riley and Mr. Tucker is truly formidable." Damis couldn't help but smack his lips and sigh in admiration.

"No, there is a leader today. Everyone is following him, so he must be someone special." Damis turned his slow head and looked at the middle-aged man who was leading the group. He had a calm expression but exuded a calm temperament. He was wearing tight pants and a white tunic. He had a dark blue silk tie at his collar, which embellished his aristocratic elegance.

Perhaps because he had been staring for too long, Rhett glanced at him and Damis felt a pressure in his chest, and his body covered by armor was tense.

I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the other person withdrew his gaze.

From the corner of his eye he watched the group moving further and further into Dam Town.

"Could the leader be the lord of Young Eagle Town? Is it true as Raylai said last time that his father is coming back soon?"

"Ah? I didn't notice just now, who was the leader?"

"Are you blind? I saw it clearly from the angle just now. There was a fatal wound on the Fire Lion's chest, which looked like it was caused by a ground thrust.

You know, Ruilai is a water magician, and their lord is rumored to be a second-level earth magician!"

Damis pricked up his ears and perked up when he heard his teammates talking.

The leading man is the lord of Young Eagle Town?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughts swirling in his mind. He turned around, said a few words to his teammates, and found an excuse to leave.

In fact, he planned to take a long way and go around the town. He would report this situation to the lord in advance.

Maybe this is not a great achievement, but it can more or less deepen the impression of him among the upper echelons.

Even if there is a chance in the future, it would be a profit to get one more bottle of boiling potion.

Walking on the mud outside the town and wearing heavy armor slightly affected Damis's speed.

But they usually train very hard, and because the knight training ground in the battle castle is quite strict, it is easy to overcome this difficulty.

He infused fighting spirit into the soles of his feet, maintained his maximum speed, and finally met the old butler in front of a cluster of flowers outside the manor.

The clanking sound of armor and the extremely rapid footsteps prompted the old butler to turn his head.

"Damis, isn't it your turn to stand guard at the town gate today? The knight training ground is not the place you should be at now!" The old butler was holding a shower head, saw the person coming clearly, and frowned.

"Old housekeeper, it's great to see you." Damis' eyes lit up and he said anxiously, "I have something to report."

Listening to Damis's whisper in his ear, the old butler Perroux seemed a little surprised, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

Finally, he patted Damis' shoulder gently and said, "Go back. I will report this matter."

Damis's face lit up with joy and he turned around and went back the same way. However, due to the constraints of Dam Town's rules, he didn't dare to waste too much time.

The old butler, who was watching the back, had a turbulent mind.

Regarding Damis's absence from duty, Peru was thinking that if it were the old patriarch's time, Damis would definitely be severely punished.

The old patriarch's requirements for discipline are quite strict, maintaining the military style on the battlefield. Any regulations in the territory can only be obeyed or not, there is no right or wrong.

But now Baron Gary is the master of the war castle, and he has more flexible ways than the old patriarch.

Especially at this time, I guess the master would be happy to hear the news conveyed by Damis? Thanks to the humorous and helpless boss for voting for 2 monthly tickets.
