Knight with Wand

Reining his warhorse, Leon waited on horseback for his "heroic spirit" to return, not worrying at all that Canis would tell the truth to Baron Grey Wolf.

I saw Canis in the distance finally bid farewell to his father, slowly caught up with his pace, and came to the side of the current "master".

Climbing on his beloved horse, the young master of the Wolf family followed Leon and ran towards the camp in front of Wachterburg.

Of course, he would not tell his father his true state.

Not only because the revenge was not over, but also because he was concerned that his own existence was subject to Leon's wishes.

It was also because he knew.

If he told his father that he would die and become a spirit, and be controlled by Leon, the vassal of the thorn flower, it would be purely harmful to him.

The Lord of Grey Wolf would never give the inheritance of the family to an undead controlled by others, even if he was his father's favorite eldest son.

In front of such a huge family business, even the father-son relationship had to stand aside.

Besides, he has far more than one so-called brother who covets the position of the head of the family.

Even if his father is willing to raise little Logan to grow up and inherit the baronship in his place, the variables involved are difficult to predict.

He is no longer a living person and can no longer give birth to offspring. Logan is the only bloodline left in his life, and it will take at least ten years for Logan to grow up.

If the news that he died and turned into a "wizard puppet" leaks out, his only offspring will probably die sooner or later due to a small accident designed by some "brothers".

At that time, even if his father finds out the murderer behind the scenes, he may not necessarily avenge his grandson and the dead eldest son and deal with the other living sons.

All because.

As the eldest son, I am already dead!

A wave of resentment came over him, and Canis gritted his teeth, and his hatred for Mette in his heart increased.

He turned his head to look at the young knight in front of him.

Some of the joints were his own thoughts, while others were warnings and reminders given by the knight named Leon.

This young guy was so insightful about the filth in the noble family, and he was indeed a cunning "wizard".

Canis temporarily put aside his strong prejudice against wizards, and took advantage of his sobriety when he appeared to plan for the future.

Since he got a second chance to "live", he would not give up everything that should belong to him. The throne of the Wolf Lord must be his, even if he is dead!

And at this point, to be honest, even his son Logan had to stand back.

Considering how to consolidate his inheritance rights with his current death, Canis looked at Leon's back on horseback.

This Thorn Flower Knight is very mysterious.

As a witness to the miracle of resurrection from the dead, Canis knew how incredible it was to be able to pull himself out of the terrifying underworld beyond cognition.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, the young master of the Wolf Family could not imagine that there was another reason for such a miracle other than being favored by the gods.

But no matter what, to continue his glorious life that ended early before it even began, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to rely on this guy who controlled his existence.

In the years to come, Leon could not die. How long this thorn flower knight could live would determine how long his second life could live.

"Don't forget what you promised." Canis urged him to go, and couldn't help but remind him again.

Hearing this, Leon turned his head and promised: "As long as you help me honestly, one day, when I have the magic power like Mette and Hilgard, you will be able to act independently to a certain extent.

Looking at the bright side, I am of course happy to help you inherit the Wolf family steadily. You and I are now on the same boat. Although we are not in the same boat, we can also be regarded as sharing the same glory. In the future, I would be happy to have a Wolf Baron as my own."

Hearing this, Canis raised his head and said: "Of course, you should feel honored to have the loyalty of the future Wolf Lord."

No matter what his personal wishes are, at least in actual actions, even if he is unwilling, Canis can only respond to the necessary "loyalty" to the guy who has decided his new life in front of him.

". Honor? Well, I am honored, Mr. Canis." Looking at Canis's unconvinced arrogance, Leon sighed and perfunctorily said.

The Lord of the Thorn Flower in the ancient Cossos State didn't have such an air. You, the son of a baron, are so arrogant. I thought you were the son of a king.

Besides, there is a real prince under his command who is loyal to him. If Corvis's homeland is placed in the Western Continent, it is not a small country. It is said that the area of ​​Verania is about the same as that of Cantadar. You work in the same company with him. I don't know who should feel honored.

Leon shook his head and thought of his fiancée, who is the legitimate daughter of the former King of Orland. If you are not afraid of death, you should tell others that we still have the right to claim the throne of Orland.

You are just a young master of the Wolf Territory. Do you think it is wrong to work for your buddies?

Thinking of this, Leon's nose in his heart couldn't help but rise higher than the guy next to him.

Alas, low-key, low-key.

Speaking of his own small circle, it seems that only he and Lohak are from the grassroots of ordinary people.

In front of the military camp of Wachter Castle, the soldiers of the Thorn Flower welcomed the return of their lord.

Eliver returned to the castle first, while Leon temporarily left the throne and stayed in the military camp outside to join his companions and his own army.

Olivia, Lohak and others who came out of the camp to greet Leon were slightly relieved to see him return.

"What happened over there? How come you guys were having a meeting and then a fight broke out? Was it the Gunnar family who did it?" Lohak looked at the strange burnt damage on the armor of his companions and couldn't help wondering.

He looked not far away and found that the young master of the Wolf family had actually followed Leon back to the military camp on the Farolis side.

"It wasn't the Wolf family, it was the guy who assassinated Canis who made the noise."

It was not easy to put Canis back into the card in public, so Leon didn't pay much attention to the young master of the Wolf family who was hanging around outside and couldn't integrate into his team. He led everyone back to the military tent while telling them about the previous accident.

He told everyone about the brief process of the meeting and the truce order between the two families arbitrated by General Trosa. He simply listened to and arranged the trivial matters of the army's stationing. As if they had a tacit understanding, everyone got up and left soon. Only Leon and Olivia were left in the tent for the meeting.

Leon opened the cloth wrapping from the side, and put the unrecognizable winged helmet on the table with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it's only been more than a month, and I broke the helmet you gave me."

Now he really regrets using the precious gift given by his lover as ordinary equipment.

He should make a pair of the same helmet for daily use, carefully put away the gift from his lover, and only wear it on ceremonial occasions.

Helplessly, on the one hand, he liked this gift too much before, on the other hand, this helmet made by the master of the armor-making guild of Farolis is of very good quality, and even after the Battle of Longka, it did not suffer any damage, so he didn't think it would be broken so quickly.

After all, when he went to attend the arbitration meeting, he didn't expect such a fierce battle to break out.

Moreover, strictly speaking, it was the "explosion" magic he released in a hurry that accidentally blew up this pair of winged helmets, and he really couldn't blame others.

Olivia looked at the twisted and deformed blackened helmet on the table in surprise. She was not distressed about the object, but worried about the terrible damage from the top of the head: "How did it get damaged like this? Did you encounter such a serious danger?"

The girl got up and walked over nervously, stretched out her hand to lift Leon's hair, and carefully stroked his head to check the wound.

"Are you injured anywhere?"

"No." Leon narrowed his eyes and enjoyed Olivia's gentle caress.

Olivia didn't find any injuries on the other's head, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained in a low voice: "I should have gone with you earlier. If there is danger next time, you are not allowed to leave me alone."

If her father hadn't stopped her before, the girl would have almost rushed over because of worry when she found the chaos in the Stag Banner Camp.

"If you were here, we could have easily taken down Mette, but it's a good thing you're not here. With your skills, you can easily deal with the sorcerer and his magic in a few moves. Count Trosa will definitely notice it, and we'll be in big trouble then."

Leon shook his head. He couldn't let Olivia get involved in Count Stag's vision.

Mette, the traitor suspected of colluding with a foreign secret party, escaped. His Majesty the King and the nobles were hunting him down. The Northern Kingdom was not without capable people, so he didn't need to intervene in events that had little to do with him.

Olivia sighed when she heard this. She wanted to be with Leon all the time, but she couldn't do anything when she encountered such a situation where the high-ranking officials of the kingdom were present.

She had been working hard to practice controlling the so-called magic power in her body, but the progress was still better than nothing. She didn't know when she could cover up the eye color characteristics.

"Lord Elliver is going to hold a dinner tonight. Do you want to come?" Leon asked

"I'd better stay in the camp with my father." After thinking about it, Olivia didn't plan to join in the fun.

".It's okay if you don't go. When we get back to Selva, we can hold a celebration banquet for our family." Leon nodded.

In the evening, Leon took off his plate armor, which was covered with burn marks due to the out-of-control Molten Sword Magic, and entered the Wacht Castle with Lohak in casual clothes for the banquet.

As the 3,000 troops of the White Wolf Leader retreated, the Thorn Flower Family seemed to have won a victory. Baron Elliver ordered the warehouses in Wacht Castle to be opened, and rewarded all the Faroris troops summoned here with good wine and meat.

In fact, the Faroris family did win many victories, but most of the battlefields were not in Orland.

The dinner was held.

Elliver sat on the lord's throne and told the knights and retainers guarding the rear about the great victory of the southward army in the expedition to Glade County.

He praised the contributions of the front and rear, and promised with great ambition that he would use the huge wealth obtained after occupying Acherburg to reward every soldier who did not live up to the family's trust, and all vassals would receive worthy rewards.

After swallowing up the entire Glade County, the territory ruled by Thorn Flower has now increased several times.

As long as the rule is consolidated, the focus of the Farolis family's management in the future will be transferred from the barony in Kossos to the Glade County Territory, and it will be completely built into the Earldom of the Thorn Flower Family.

With such a large piece of land, Elifer will naturally not be stingy in enfeoffing his retainers, which is why so many knights follow him loyally.

Generous and sincere, this is not the motto of the Thorn Flower Family, but it is Elifer's own motto.

The identities of many people will change accordingly. The sergeants and attendants who fight bravely and outstandingly in the army have the opportunity to become knights.

And the original knights also have the opportunity to become greater lords.

Leon swallowed a mouthful of delicious food with wine, and estimated in his heart that he was not the only one who was going to become a baron.

However, there is also a gap between baron and baron.

The relationship between the king and his ministers since he became the Knight of Thorns made Leon believe that Elliot would never ignore his decisive contribution.

Of course, his own feudal lord is obviously not just trying to be a villain.

Those soldiers who have obtained fiefdoms will work harder than before to defend the Faloris family to which they are loyal.

After all, taking money to protect your boss's land has completely different motivations than defending your own personal territory.

The enfeoffment of lords can also alleviate the governance pressure caused by insufficient talents.

Without a complete and huge bureaucratic talent and system, it is impossible for one person to monopolize the occupied land.

"Look at our gryphons and wild horses, with their heroic eating looks. No wonder they were able to defeat Gunnar's wolf cubs in Longka." Elliot raised the golden wine glass and looked at the two young men eating haise. of vassals.

The scene was filled with the kind laughter of the knights, and no one paid much attention to their manners. This was a military banquet for the knights of martial arts, and they did not pay much attention to etiquette.

On the long table, Leon, who was immersed in making a leg of lamb with Rohark and his mouth was full of oil, raised his head.

Rohark has always had a big appetite, but every time Leon used the Boiling Heart to strengthen his body and squeeze out his own magic potential, he had to eat a lot to fill his stomach, and his appetite was terrifying.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm really hungry after a lot of activity today." Leon picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, straightened up and responded.

Elliot waved his hands in a great mood: "No need to worry about etiquette. This banquet is originally to celebrate the glory and wealth you have brought to Thorn Flower."

When it came to wealth, Baron Thorn Flower suddenly asked: "Leon, since the young wolf of the Gunnar family is intimidated by you and wants to follow you for a period of time to repay the kindness of saving his life, then he is no longer a prisoner of war, and you and Isn’t it the ransom negotiated by the Lang family?”

"The ransom will definitely not be paid by the Wolf family." Leon nodded and replied.

The so-called following is naturally an excuse. If Canis cannot really be let back, the Wolf family will definitely not deliver the five thousand gold coins.

Fortunately, he had initially obtained two hundred gold crowns from the Lang family, and he had no intention of returning the money.

"Gunnar is really as fussy as ever. We haven't even asked him for compensation for invading the territory. You saved his son, but this guy didn't even express his gratitude." Elliot put down the gold cup, shook his head and laughed.

Now, since the young master of the Lang family has unexpectedly put down his arrogance and actively followed his vassal, the Thorn Flower family cannot be shameless and use the other person's life to threaten money.

After thinking for a while, Baron Thorn Flower waved his hand without any distress: "The enemy can be stingy, but how can Thorn Flower be stingy with you soldiers who are guarding the territory? It's just a five thousand gold crown. I'm here to reward you."

After recovering the huge sum of five thousand gold coins, Leon blinked in surprise and almost said something like a boss.

All the knights present also took a breath, this was quite a huge sum of money.

But despite being envious, no one was jealous of it.

Whether it was the rumored victory of defeating an enemy of one thousand with two hundred, or opening a path south for the family, such contributions pale in comparison to the reward of five thousand gold coins.

"Thank you for your generosity, my lord!"

Leon stood up and saluted without refusing. After all, the culture of this country is not in favor of humility at the moment. If you really want to be so vain and say that you don't dare to be rewarded, then maybe the lord will actually believe it. He will praise his noble moral character and give the money to It is possible to take it back.

The banquet where the king and his ministers enjoyed themselves dispersed.

Elliot had just arrived at the main castle room arranged by Marcelo to prepare for a rest.

The knight who was keeping vigil suddenly came to report.

"Sir, a secret envoy from the Wolf family came to see you. He said he brought a personal letter from Baron Gunnar."
