The first meal Lant had when he returned to Lot's territory from the Maned Wolf City was with his father and eldest brother in the castle. All his cronies attended the dinner.
The subordinates at the dinner table frequently raised glasses to pay tribute to their kind and wise lord. Only Huck Galloping Horse looked at Lant with a hint of unspoken meaning.
After the meal, Lant found his father Huck and invited him to the lord's room in the castle for a heart-to-heart talk.
This room has actually been Huck's bedroom in the past two weeks. Huck has met Viscount Lotland here several times before. Now he has stayed for another two weeks, but Huck knows in his heart that the owner of this house is Lan Special, and he is just a guest.
"Father, there are some things I must explain to you." Lant made it clear as soon as he came up.
"Yeah" Huck looked at his son and frowned.
"I want to train Wendy and the others to become magisters." Lant's words were calm, as if they should be.
"You...what did you say?" Huck always thought that Lant wanted to monopolize a few people, but never thought that Lant wanted to protect a few girls to advance to higher levels.
"Wendy and the others have very good qualifications. More than one person told me that they are born high-level people." With the confirmation from the big goblin, Lant is now more certain.
"Lant, do you know what you are talking about? It's because they have good foundations that we should quickly capture them when they are low-level. When they are high-level, who will care about you, the border viscount?" Today's Ha Ke will not underestimate Lant as he did half a year ago, but he is very clear that Lant's level potential can reach as high as a senior knight.
"Father, I have no choice. I must be promoted to a high level, otherwise I will not be able to protect either Yeqi City or Lot Land."
"Lan..." Huck was shocked again by his son's serious rhetoric,
"If we can't take Ye Qi City, we, the hundreds of demon-supporters, won't be able to eat. If we take Ye Qi City, I won't be able to advance to a high level. All I do is make wedding dresses for others." Lant said as he said , while recalling various experiences in the royal capital.
"Let me tell you the truth, now the Bai Xiao family, the Lanlong family, the Maned Wolf family, and the Lan Yuan family are all looking at me like I'm looking at meat in a bowl."
"You are in the royal capital..." Huck looked at Lant with some distress, "What do they want you to do?"
"Let me meet more girls from their family." At this moment, Lant was thinking about the ladies behind Li Qi, "I'm really afraid that I'll be single for too long."
"I think you're overthinking it. It's normal for nobles to marry each other." Huck couldn't keep up with Lant's thinking.
"But what happens after the marriage?" Lant asked, "You are so weak and there are so many knights. Do you want to send you a high-level knight?"
"Well" Huck gradually understood the key issue of Lant. The territory was large and the level was low, which was exactly the situation where ordinary people were not guilty and those who were pregnant with the treasure were guilty.
"So, instead of thinking about how to get girls now, it is better to train them now and make them high-level." Lant continued to instill his ideas into his father. "I know that my current resources cannot attract magisters at all. Even if I can settle in Yeqi City, my resources will not be greatly improved. However, I cannot act blindly or stay still just because I am not strong enough now."
Although Lant is really afraid that the girls will run away when they become high-level, but as a time traveler, Lant always has an inexplicable confidence. He believes that his level potential is not only high-level, but also believes that he can develop through personality charm and territory. The dividends retain senior talent, and these rands cannot be said.
"But, you only have 4,000 people now. I have been to the ruins of Ye Qicheng more than once. There are not 20,000 people there and it can't function at all. But if there are tens of thousands of people, where will there be so much food to feed them?" Ha Ke listened to Lant's ideas and became increasingly unable to keep up.
“That’s why we have to open mines. Only by making full use of the surrounding resources can we supply a large population.”
"...What are your plans?"
"Restore the salt mines, seize the iron mines, occupy the entire plain, and let the Galloping Horse tribe take charge of all the barbarians."
"You..." Hearing that he wanted to occupy the entire plain, Huck no longer dared to ask any more questions. He was so shocked by his son's ambition that he was speechless.

In another room in the castle, Ben Call painted soundproofing magic patterns on the wall.
"Ben...Ge..." Albert looked at Ben and said.
"Just call me Ben, I am the intermediate mage here." Ben looked at Albert with a smile.
"That... okay then"
"You have really suffered these years. You have to supervise the border and develop your family at the same time." Ben patted Albert on the shoulder very kindly. He knew how difficult it was for Albert these years. The galloping young man who was once able to talk freely even in the face of legends is now a little balding.
"Where, my thing is nothing." Albert asked the mage with great determination.
"Ben, please tell me, can Lant really succeed in recovering Yeqi City?"
"I know that you are looking at the great situation of the family now and don't want it to fail in the end."
"Yes, I asked people from Maned Wolf City to see it a long time ago. Lant's potential can reach the level of a high-level knight at most. It is difficult to reach the sky if he wants to break through. But there is currently no one in the family who can replace Lant." When he saw the potential of the rand, Abbott was very confused, "Does it mean that we have to hand over the credit to others in the future?"
"How is that possible? If anyone really dares to take the military credit, he will only become the enemy of all knights." What I didn't say is that there was indeed someone who was planning to take the credit from Rand, but they have been stopped.
"But Lant is only an intermediate knight now. No matter what happens, it will not be his turn to become the master of Yeqi City."
"Don't underestimate your Lant's figure. In just two weeks, he has already caught up with the Fairy Queen of the Royal Capital." Ben stood up and looked out the window, "20 black scale horses were exchanged for the Fairy Queen." The queen’s kindness and good means.”
"Queen...you mean Queen Tyriana?" Albert's eyes widened. This was the second shocking news he heard today.
"Yes, that's the queen. Your family is very good at finding legends to back you up." The mage looked at Albert meaningfully, "With her care, are you still worried that Lant won't be able to reach a high level? "
"I think what you should worry about most is whether there are so many people in your family to manage the entire Yeqi City."
. . . . . .
In Longya City late at night, Longtai Mountain stands like a black dragon's spine.
In the Old Joya Tavern on the plain below the mountain, a young man wearing a black smock has been sitting for a long time.
"Sir, would you like a cup of buckwheat beer?" A young man came over, followed by a middle-aged man.
"Oh, I don't drink buckwheat-flavored ones, I only drink apple-flavored ones." The young man in black shirt checked the number carefully.
"Then do you want apples from the imperial capital or apples from the south?"
"I want the Eastern Kingdom flavor."
The two nodded, indicating they recognized each other's identity.
"what is your name?"
"Just call me J, this is K." The young man who followed introduced himself.
"Come from the Imperial Capital?"
"Yes, I represent the chief. This is the latest order." J then took out the kettle he had with him and poured the liquid in the kettle to the other party.
The young man in black shirt raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, pondering the taste.
After a few seconds, he frowned and asked, "That's our greatest strength in the Frostwolf Forest, just let it out like this?"
"There is nothing we can do. We were too passive about what happened on the plains not long ago. If we can't muddy the situation now, our efforts towards the end of 2020 will be completely in vain." J was also quite helpless about the message he conveyed.
"clear."
"You let that wolf make things more lively, and I will find a way to drag in the maned wolf from the northwest." J said before leaving.
"What if we meet that dark horse?"
"As long as it doesn't lead to a death lawsuit, anything is fine."
