Rhett and Colton enjoyed a dinner together at Twilight Zone.
They didn't say goodbye to each other until night fell.
After taking more than 50 civilians from Qingquan Town back to the team from the inn, Lei Te thought it was time to set off and got into the carriage.
At this time, the groom in front turned his head and looked at Rhett shyly.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Seeing the other person's expression, Rhett asked in surprise.
"Um... it's like this, sir. I just discussed with the other grooms. Except for Derby, the remaining four of us all want to join your territory!" The groom said sincerely, patting his chest. "We all have rich experience in raising horses. We will do our job well and contribute to your territory!"
On the way here, they had all thought about it. Anyway, the lord of Qingquan Town had reaped the consequences of his own actions and had died.
Qingquan Town also has a dark history of being the base of an evil alchemy organization. No one can predict what the future will be like.
The lord in front of them, with the strength of a third-level magician, is definitely an excellent candidate for surrender! When they were still in Qingquan Town, several people had this idea, but the lord did not invite them at that time.
Except for Derby who had a family in Qingquan Town and was unwilling to leave, the four of them were still young and single, and had no burden wherever they went.
"What's your name?" Rhett asked.
"Sir, my name is Gene." Gene looked respectful and said, "The other three are Esam, Harry, and Fike."
Rhett fell into deep thought, thinking that in his current territory, there was only one groom, George.
With the rapid development of the territory, all aspects will be expanded, and the horse farm is no exception. Therefore, it is only a matter of time to add a few grooms.
He nodded and agreed: "Jin, right? I agree to your request. But in my territory, you must abide by the rules!"
Gene's face lit up with joy. "Don't worry, sir! From now on, we horsemen will be tied to your horse farm and will definitely contribute to the construction of Young Eagle Town!"
He ran to share the good news with other friends, and cheers were heard outside the carriage.
Then the whole team left Twilight City overnight.
The night of May 24th.
The two knights on duty at the gate of Eagle Town, today it is Tru and Willow's turn.
The hazy night is quiet.
The sounds of summer cicadas chirping and branches and leaves rustling come one after another.
The two of them were concentrating on keeping an eye on the situation around them. They saw a path in the distance, and under the dim light, they gradually saw a team coming towards them.
Tru rubbed his eyes and whispered, "Willow, look ahead, there's a convoy coming!"
"Hmm? Such a strange team. These horses... carriages, I've never seen them before." Willow perked up, stared ahead, and said in a hurry: "There are also patterns and logos of other territories on it, but I don't know where they are from."
"There are some common sense books on the bookshelf in the deputy fort, which contain the distribution of forces in the southwest border. I told you to read more books, but you didn't listen." Tru shook his head and said, "This is the pattern logo of Qingquan Town, but... why is it here at this time?"
"Viscount's territory, Qingquan Town?" Willow looked a little serious and said hurriedly: "Tru, just in case, you go back and pass on the message first, I'll stay here!"
"No, Willow, you are younger than me and more flexible. You should be the one to go back and deliver the message." Tru, who has entered middle age, shook his head.
"You! Don't argue with me at this time. At worst I can treat you to a drink when I get back. Huh? It's the Lord!" Willow looked a little anxious. His eyes swept to the carriage in front of him. Suddenly, the curtain was pulled open, revealing an extremely familiar face.
All the anxiety was swept away.
"Great, it's the Lord!" Tru's face showed joy, but he muttered quietly: "Why is the Lord in the car in Qingquan Town?"
Then he said jokingly, "Eh? Willow, you just said you would buy me a drink when you get back, you can't go back on your word!"
"I know." The voice was drawn out. Willow, who was not even twenty years old, rolled his eyes and sighed, "Alas, I'm still too young!"
When the convoy approached, Tru and Willow had already straightened their chests and pulled their stomachs in, and shouted loudly, "Good evening, Lord!"
Rhett poked his head out and smiled, "Haha, it's Tru and Willow, hello. You two knights, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard, Lord. Everything is for Eagle Town!" The two men's eyes were bright.
Under the admiring gaze of the two knights, the convoy passed through the Eagle Town and arrived at the gate of the manor.
The warm night wind blew open the curtain of the carriage, and Rhett crawled out.
Bathed in the starlight, I can't help but sigh that summer is almost over before I know it.
Rhett took a quick look and saw that lights were on on the first to fourth floors of the castle.
The four grooms were arranged to stay in the dormitory of the horse farm, and the civilians of Qingquan Town were also asked to stay there for one night. The housekeeper would then arrange accommodation in the town tomorrow.
He then took Shireen into the manor.
Housekeeper Sveta was late to fall asleep today, thinking about the fact that the master had been gone for two months.
Without the master in charge, he always felt like he was missing a backbone.
Feeling sleepy, Sveta, who had been suffering from insomnia for many days, was about to extinguish the candle and lie down on the bed.
But a very slight "whistle" sound startled it!
Sveta started to run to the window and saw a procession coming along the graystone avenue.
Although it was not the convoy from Young Eagle Town, he still believed, based on his inner intuition, that the master must have returned! Sveta was slightly excited, put on the clothes he had just taken off, and looked at himself in the mirror before hurriedly walking out of the castle, just in time to see the master coming towards him.
"Oh, Master, you are finally back. You have been in my dreams recently! Your absence is like a young eagle with broken wings." Sveta walked to Rhett and stopped, showing a respectful face. She glanced at the young woman with short orange hair sticking to her cheeks beside the master, and secretly guessed her identity.
"Sveta, my most caring housekeeper, no matter where we are, our hearts are in Eagle Town!" Rhett smiled and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"I've been suffering from insomnia lately, and I always fall asleep very late." Sveta couldn't help but yawn, and then continued: "But the night you came back, my insomnia suddenly disappeared!"
"Please believe me, I am definitely not lying!" Sveta looked serious!
"I believe in you, Sveta. At the same time, I hope you can take good care of yourself. When the young eagle soars in the future, I hope everyone around me will accompany me."
"Thank you, sir. I want to see this day with you too!"
"Of course!" Leiter said firmly, and pointed at Shilin: "This is our new member - Shilin, a second-level female knight. Please arrange accommodation for her. Remember to separate her from those men."
"No problem. Every time the master returns, he always brings surprises." Sveta supported her chest and said to Shilin, "Ms. Shilin, please come here."
"Thank you, Mr. Butler." Xilin followed him, and suddenly turned around, shaking her short orange hair, and waved her hand, saying, "My Lord, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow, Lady Shireen!" Rhett smiled and walked towards Deep Rock Castle.
Riley's room.
When Leiter pushed the door open, Ruilai was standing by the window and said with a smile: "Father, you are finally back."
"Yes, I'm back." Lei Te found a chair and sat down with a kind face, and asked: "Rui Lai, how is your recent training progress?"
As a father, it is normal to be concerned about his son's cultivation.
"Well, it's okay. Thanks to Nina's appearance last year, she not only helped me reach the later stage when I recognized her as the master, but also made me make additional progress. Coupled with the practice in the past six months, I estimate that I will be able to reach the peak next year." Ruilai said thoughtfully.
"Not bad..." Lei Te nodded with a smile and opened a gift bag, "Look what I brought you?"
Lei Te talked to himself: "This time when I went to Twilight City, I bought some Moonlight Potion. I only need to keep a dozen bottles for myself. The remaining forty or so bottles are prepared for you. I look forward to your breakthrough as soon as possible."
He himself has reached the peak of the third-level magician and no longer needs to use the Moonlight Potion. Moreover, when he is promoted to a magician in the future, the Moonlight Potion will lose its effect on him. He needs to find another medium-level mental potion.
But in order not to appear unusual, Leiter would definitely have to do some superficial work. At worst, after a while, when Rayleigh and Taylors had used up the batch of medicines on hand, he would find an excuse to distribute the stock to them as well.
"Wow! Thank you, Father!" Ruilai's eyes lit up and she felt excited looking at the bottles and jars in the gift bag!
But then he asked in surprise: "By the way, father, you just said that you would share the potion with 'us'? Is there another person besides me? Is it the orange-haired lady who just came in with you?
"She's not a magician!" Leiter shook his head. "She's a second-level knight who has also joined our territory. Her name is Shilin."
"But..." Just as Ruilai opened his mouth, Leiter stretched out a hand and interrupted him: "Don't be anxious, look at what this is?"
Rhett took out a potion filled with black liquid from his waist pocket and placed it under the bright light.
In fact, he had not expected that Black Star would find him yesterday, traveling in the direction of Young Eagle Town, and the two exchanged bloodline potions.
Six days earlier than the last simulation.
Lei Te could only think that it might be related to some changes in the details in reality, as well as the distribution of the Blood Source Pearls, which were all given to Black Star this time.
Perhaps the difference in a certain link leads to slight discrepancies in transaction time.
"Father, what is this?" Ruilai frowned slightly.
The medicine bottle was transparent and had no label, so you couldn't tell anything from the color of the medicine through the bottle.
"This is the bloodline potion of the sixth-level dark monster - the black-eyed phantom snake!" Rhett said lightly.
"What? Bloodline potion!" Ruilai widened his eyes in shock and his breathing stopped.
After calming down, he let out a long breath, his eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively: "Is it from the same source as the bloodline potion that you took before, father?"
Apart from Rhett himself, only his three sons knew that he had taken the blood potion.
After all, they had fought together many times, especially in the Dark Eagle branch before, against the third-level monster, Rhett could not hide the secret of the Earth Cone Technique at all.
Besides, he trusted his son, and since no accidents happened during the simulation, he never worried about the secrets being leaked.
"Yeah." Lei Te nodded, and just like last time, didn't say much.
"That's great!" Ruilai wisely didn't ask any more questions, but excitedly patted the table beside him and said, "Thales can also become a magician in the future!"
"Then, father, why don't we go find Thales now?" Riley asked, and then said distressedly: "He must be reading knight novels now, you have to take good care of him."
"What happened?"
"Father, you may not know that during your absence, Mina from Dam Town came here twice. She had a good relationship with Thales and gave Thales a fantasy novel, which seemed to be the sequel to "Knight's Academy". He is now fascinated by it!
There were several times when he wanted to stay up all night reading, but I stopped him! "
"Oh? So many things happened when I was not in the territory?" Lei Te pretended to be surprised. After pondering for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's put other things aside for now. We have to let Thales take the blood potion quickly!"
The two men came to Thales' door and knocked gently.
Boom boom boom
"Got it, Riley. Watch it for another ten minutes. This part is really exciting. I'll go to bed after you finish watching it!" A dissatisfied voice came from inside the door.
Ruilai shrugged and said to his father, "See, when you are not in the territory, Taylors always wants to break the original agreement. I have to come down to supervise him every now and then and urge him frequently so that he can sleep well."
Lei Te frowned, knocked on the door again, and raised his voice: "It's me, open the door, Taylors!"
"Ah? Father! Okay, I'll be right there!"
A few seconds later, hurried footsteps approached the room, and the door was opened. Taylors, wearing a bear pajamas, emerged. He touched his head shyly and said, "Ha, it's father. I didn't expect you to come back at night."
Rhett glanced at Taylor and walked straight into the house.
As if he had done something wrong, Thales followed his father, his eyes rolling around, and suddenly said, "Father, I missed you so much when you were not around."
Hearing this, Ruilai smiled but said nothing. Leiter sat down beside the bed and said, "I heard from Ruilai that during the time I was away from the territory, you were disobedient and always wanted to read novels all night long?"
"I...I didn't!" Thales lowered his head guiltily and secretly glared at Riley again.
I swear, I haven’t pulled an all-nighter during this period, and I’ve trained well the next day!”
"Tsk, if I, your brother, didn't supervise you, things might be different." Ruilai joked from the side.
"Rylai, shut up." Taylors argued angrily: "Humph, I was planning to go to bed before, even if you didn't come, it would be the same!"
"Wow, it's all coincidence, right? You were reading novels when I wasn't here, and you were getting ready to go to bed when I just got here." Ruilai rolled his eyes and couldn't complain.
"Yeah, of course!"
"Okay, Thales!" Rhett stopped him and Thales immediately calmed down.
"Whether you have abided by our agreement or not, I just want to ask you, do you feel that being asked to go to bed on time in the Dark Eagle branch was a kind of constraint for you, and made you feel resistant?" Rhett looked straight at Taylor.
"I... didn't," Thales retorted subconsciously.
But facing his father's serious gaze, Thales didn't dare to look directly at him and just looked away.
"Alas." Leiter sighed: "Taylor, my son, you must know that I am not restricting you for the sake of restriction. I just want you to understand that self-discipline is an indispensable quality on the road to growth."
"Even if you can't practice and are just an ordinary person, you can't slack off!" Lei Te said earnestly: "Taylor, as a father, I don't necessarily have to see how outstanding my son is. I just want to see that my son can strive for something and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life!"
“You said before that you wanted to improve your abilities, read some business books, and assist in the affairs of the caravan.
But what happened? I only read some business books in the first few days after I came back. After a short period of enthusiasm, I soon forgot about it.
Leiter walked to the bookshelf and patted a book. "Look, the business books are covered with dust, but the novels are brand new and clean."
Ruilai stood a few meters away, pursing his lips, wondering what he was thinking about.
Thales felt so ashamed at his father's thought-provoking advice that he lowered his head with red eyes, keeping his mouth shut and saying nothing.
I began to reflect on myself and realized that I really had accomplished nothing.
It seems that I have never persisted in striving for a certain goal...
"Taylor, tell me, what is your dream?" Rhett raised his voice and asked sternly.
Thales was startled, raised his head and looked at his father, blurting out: "I want to be a great alchemist!"
Lei Te narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can you guarantee that if you become a magician, you can study alchemy and no longer be like before, with a three-minute enthusiasm?"
"Are you sure you can hold on?"
The last question exposed Lei Te's true intention! !
