"This time Fernando was able to return safely, thanks to Rand." On the evening of the 26th, Count Maned Wolf hosted a banquet specifically for Rand to thank him for his help. Unlike the previous dance, this family banquet included Lant and Tenia are both members of the Maned Wolf family, making Lant feel like he has entered a wolf den.
There was a large amount of Warcraft meat on the table, including electric eels, dragon eggs, highland devil sheep and abyssal frogs that are rare in the northwest. The fresher the Warcraft meat, the simpler the cooking method. Many meats are only slightly processed. Just put it on the dinner plate.
Such a rich banquet was extremely rare even within the Earl's Mansion, and all the demon-supporters present feasted on it.
Count Kempins Maned Wolf's complexion is much better than before. Although he is still a little thin, his energy has recovered. He eats the monster meat in the bowl as well as the young people around him.
"Lant, eat more Warcraft meat. I think you have reached a high level, right?" The Earl was very sensitive to Lant's level.
"Level is not some kind of proof, but a reflection of the level of magic power. It's nothing when you are at a low level. The higher the level, the more you need to supplement the magic beast meat and magic potions, otherwise you will be downgraded."
"I understand." There are no middle or high-level people in Lant's family, so no one knows how to go after the senior knights. Now that the earl is willing to give guidance, it can only be said to be a goodwill.
Now that he knew the earl's good intentions, Lant quickly seized the opportunity and
"Sir, what do you think I should do as a knight in the future?" The earl stopped the knife and fork in his hand, picked up a glass of potion wine, drank and thought, and then said seriously: "Tell the truth, Lant, your knight The road and territory development may not be well balanced. Whether you are a knight or a magician, promotion and breakthrough require a rich magic environment, but the environment on the Galloping Horse Plains is very harsh." As he spoke, the Earl crossed his fingers with a fork A piece of Highland lamb chop,
"For example, a highland demon sheep like you is a low-level magic beast when you are born, and it is an intermediate level when you slaughter it. Such magic sheep are only produced in Longtai Mountain in the royal capital. The higher your level is in the future, the higher your requirements for magic beast meat will be. .”
"So as a knight, it's best for you to practice in the royal capital." At this point, the earl smiled and said,
"But as a lord, you now have to conquer the entire Galloping Horse Plain, and your territory cannot be separated from you. I think you can ask Tutor Tenia to train you to become a magic knight. It is very common for big nobles to have dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. It just needs to be enough resources.”
"I am now a senior knight, and I know a little bit of magic. Does this count as a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts?" Lant asked.
"What are you talking about? For a true magician and martial artist, the level of magic power is almost the same as the level of fighting spirit. Magic and swordsmanship complement each other," the earl said with a smile.
"Let me give you an example. Is your horse already an intermediate-level magical beast? If you can achieve the combat effectiveness of riding a horse one day without riding a horse, it means that your magical martial arts have been mastered. "Lant probably understood what the count meant. Now Lant also regards Lie Huo as an intermediate magician or above, and he is a high-level knight. The power of the man and horse together is the power of a high-level magician and martial artist.
"Father, you said that Lant has reached the rank of senior knight?" Fernando grasped the key point, a little unbelievable,
"His horse is already intermediate?"
"Congratulations, Viscount Lant." Elenda was very happy after hearing this.
"It seems that there should be no problem for you to inherit the position of Earl and Consul of Yeqicheng from the Benma family."
"I'd like to lend you some kind words." Lant smiled. There were quite a few women at the banquet. In addition to Elanda Maned Wolf, the Flower of the Maned Wolf, there were also 5 or 6 girls from various branches, including intermediate mages, knight apprentices, and mage apprentices. These women When the children heard about Lant's strength, they involuntarily raised their heads to reveal their fair necks and collarbones, and some pulled down the corset of their gowns, revealing the white scenery.
Compared with the glamorous girls, Elenda's knight costume only has few decorations on the neckline, which can be regarded as a sporty style.
After dinner, Lant still met the count alone, this time not in his recliner, but in the study.
"Thanks to Tutor Tenia, now I feel that I have almost recovered. If I could have met her earlier, maybe I would have gone there in person this time." As soon as the count started, he praised Tenia.
However, Lant felt that even if the earl met Yin Mo La, he probably wouldn't be able to sustain two more moves than Luo Benqi Bai Xiao, but with his rich experience, it shouldn't be a problem to escape with the people intact.
"Sir, when I searched the Orc camp, I found that they began to annex the surrounding Orc tribes in May and June of last year, and began to expand rapidly after September. It was quite synchronized with the Gray Goose Barbarian tribe's actions that year. ." Lant intended to make the earl notice the timing coincidence of the rise of the two families, but unexpectedly the earl smiled and shook his head.
"It's normal. Whether it's the Frostwolf Forest or the Galloping Horse Plains, when the weather gets cold in September, these tribes will annex each other. You don't have to worry too much." The earl's words suddenly choked Lant, since he believed it was a coincidence. , Lant also needs to continue talking, and can only mention another thing.
"Sir, do we in Maned Wolf City have any shops to decorate and purchase furniture for the mansion?" Lant's viscounty and dad's barony have just built new buildings.
"I want to have a ball here, but the castle is too shabby."
"Oh, this is easy to talk about. You go ahead and call the housekeeper." The Earl was very happy with Lant's request and called the housekeeper to ask him to take Lant to buy it tomorrow.
"Lant, if you need anything in the future, just tell me. I heard that you didn't capture slaves when you came back from the Frostwolf Forest. I think you can take a look in the market recently. Maybe Orcs will appear in large numbers recently. ." The earl's reminder made Lant a little excited, but the shopping plan failed to take place.
Early in the morning on the 27th, Lant received a message from Dugan from the Imperial Capital. Bai Xiao's family in the Imperial Capital wanted to invite him to dinner to express his gratitude. The Bai Xiao family in the Imperial Capital was the king's family, and Lant could not refuse.
So early in the morning he went to the dock outside the city to give his army a day off. Neither Lant nor the Earl wanted the barbarians to be too showy in the city, so the Earl's Mansion produced a batch of badges with galloping horses for Lant. Knights who brought the badges into the city did not have to pay the city tax.
At the same time, the Earl's family will send 30 barrels of ale and a batch of meat in the morning to comfort the barbarian cavalry participating in the war.
The knights can enter the city in batches, and the barbarian cavalry can enjoy wine and delicacies by the river outside the city. Everyone can get what they need. Only the Maned Wolf Knights gathered overnight last night, and today they all went up to the city wall to patrol.
