"Huh? Yes! Father is really thoughtful." Tucker suddenly realized, his eyes brightened, he smiled naively, and planned to ask again at another time.

A few minutes later, Rhett wiped his mouth with a white napkin and walked out of the castle.

Ruilai also put down the knife and fork in his hand, drank up the remaining half cup of milk in one gulp, and hurriedly followed his father.

"Father, what exactly is this 'unique gift' you are talking about?"

Rhett came to the Knights' training ground, an empty, deserted place, and stopped.

He touched his chin and said slowly: "Well, the reason I say this is because only you have the ability to make this kind of gift. Even I can't make it."

Riley's face became more curious, and he pretended to listen carefully.

"As a water magician, you should have the ability to make ice..."

"Father, do you want me to make a beautiful ice sculpture and give it to Klina?" Before her father could finish his words, Riley subconsciously made this connection and answered first.

Leiter smiled and shook his head: “Making ice sculptures is not innovative enough.

What I am going to teach you to make is called popsicle, or ice cream."

"Pop-a-boo? Ice cream?" These are two unfamiliar terms.

A look of curiosity appeared on Riley's face as she continued to listen.

A few minutes later, after his father's explanation, Reilly finally understood that ice cream is a kind of frozen dessert, and it suddenly dawned on him.

Ruilai was eager to try it, thinking it was something novel and the combination of ice sculptures and desserts was very creative.

With his ability as a water magician, it was easier for him to shape the ice sculpture.

He believed that as long as the appearance and taste were good, the stimulation of freshness would definitely attract Clina.

Ruilai recalled the simple process, thought for a few minutes, and said seriously: "Father, I am ready to try it now.

Before that, I'm going to go down to the cellar and get some more jam to practice with."

“I wish you all the best.”

After Riley left, Leiter looked around the training grounds.

"I'm afraid I won't have time for magic training today. I have more important things to do."

It was because he was reading his diary last night, and it mentioned a certain place within a radius of 20 kilometers from Young Eagle Town, which was suspected to contain a certain mineral vein.

Thinking of this, Rhett's heart began to ripple. He quickly left the training ground and went to the horse farm to take Gray away.

Head south at full speed.

Soon, he was twenty kilometers away from Deep Rock Castle.

At this time, Rhett slowed down, held the horse's belly, and looked around the wasteland. There were only scattered weeds and bushes in sight.

"This should be it." Rhett whispered to himself.

Last night, after finishing reading the diary, he learned that the fugitives of the Engel family came to the territory of Young Eagle Town and an internal conflict occurred.

The conflict occurred between the then patriarch of the Engle family, Mullen, and the leader of the family knights, Parks.

The conflict stemmed from Parks's feeling that his allocation was unfair.

He believed that as one of the only two fourth-level knights in the team, he should be entitled to nearly half of the property.

Instead, when the family was ruined and fell into the situation of fleeing, he was allocated resources that were insignificant compared to the family property according to the past system.

Faced with this request, Mullen naturally refused and only agreed to double Parks' previous salary from now on.

The diary records that Parks pretended to compromise on this condition.

But he took advantage of the night when everyone was resting and assassinated the Mulun tribe leader! However, he failed to kill him, but seriously injured him.

The strength of Chief Mullen was obviously superior to that of Parks. After being ambushed, he counterattacked and not only seriously injured Parks, but also forced him to flee.

And the key turning point lies here.

Later, Count Mullen launched a frantic hunt for Parks.

While being chased, Parks stepped on a piece of land and collapsed, falling into a closed mine, limiting his subsequent escape space.

Rhett jumped off his horse and stomped his feet on the ground.

The letter mentioned that the area where the mine was located was about 20 kilometers south of the Engel family’s temporary camp at the time.

That is near Lei Te’s current location!

Thinking of this, there was a hint of excitement in Rhett's eyes.

"If there is really a mine underground as the letter says, then no matter how many years pass, it will not disappear. On the contrary, the reserves will become more abundant as time goes by!"

He remembered that the letter later wrote that after Earl Mullen dealt with Parks, he stayed in the mine for half a day to recover from his injuries and identified the type of ore vein - Fire Vein Ore!

Count Mullen was immediately excited and even re-planned the future development plan for the Engel family.

The first thing is to give up the idea of ​​escaping to the East Blue coast.

First go to a place where you can avoid border wars and return in time to observe the orcs' attack.

If other kingdoms lend a helping hand and the orcs' offensive is contained, then this place will be the foundation for the Engel family's future comeback.

Therefore, leaving part of the family's property here is to pave the way for this alternative plan.

"What a pity that the valuables haven't been taken away yet. It must have been an accident." Rhett thought to himself.

“There are fire-marked ores here. If I remember correctly, refined fire-marked ores have good conductivity for fire-type fighting spirit and are often used to refine weapons specifically for knights.

Even without refining, pure natural ore mixed with impurities can be used as an excellent fuel.

Throw it in the fireplace in winter and one piece will burn for three days and three nights."

Finding the exact location of the Fire Mine is the purpose of Rhett's coming here today.

He was determined to get this mineral vein! From here to Young Eagle Town, it was only about 20 kilometers away.

Plan ahead, and when you are promoted to a noble in the future, include the Fire Pattern Mine in your territory, and there will never be any accidents!

On the other side, northeast of Eagle Town.

Klina looked at the gradually brightening graystone road leading to the wooden house complex not far away, and she couldn't help feeling happy.

"Miss, the town of Young Eagle is ahead." Kusen said to Klina in the middle of the team.

"Yeah, I see, keep going!"

Klina glanced at the road sign on the side of the road and thought that Riley had promised last time that he would give her a gift this time.

"What could it be?"

Krina smiled, her mind wandering, her heart filled with curiosity.

At the entrance of Young Eagle Town, Lawrence looked at the oncoming team and asked, "Excuse me, are you Miss Clina from Dam Town?"

"Yes, we are."

"Master Riley has been waiting for you in Deep Rock Castle for a long time." Lawrence smiled and wondered secretly what the relationship was between the heroic female knight in front of him and Master Riley.

Klina smoothed her hair that was fluttering in the wind and looked towards the shadow of Deep Rock Castle in the distance.

Thinking of Ruilai's charming profile under the sunset that day, I couldn't help but feel amorous and my cheeks felt a little hot.

After revealing their identities, Klina and her group were allowed to pass.

This long team consists of six first-level knights and twelve apprentice knights.

They escorted Klina through the town and arrived at Deep Rock Castle.

"Long time no see, Miss Clina. You are still as beautiful as ever." Wearing a blue top hat, Riley walked along the stone path of the manor and came to the gate of the manor.

Klina smiled and saw Riley coming towards her, and she opened her arms happily.
