Phoenix Grand Lord

The sun sets quietly on the horizon, leaving the last trace of afterglow in the sky.

The female knight Charlize Theron was waiting outside the city gate early.

Chariz's pretty face in the sunset was cold and solemn, with a little worry in her eyes.

As the only knight of the "unattractive lord", she had not seen him for more than three hours.

Thinking back to the scene where the unsatisfied master was almost dragged away by a few unscrupulous entertainers, the worry in Charizi's eyes became more obvious.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Charizi finally couldn't help but go to the city to fish for the master in the brothel.

As soon as Charize reached the city gate, Luo Wei drove out in a four-wheeled carriage pulled by a single horse.

"Oh hello, my knight! Good evening!" Rowe greeted Chariz with a relaxed look on his face.

"Master..." Chariz was stunned.

She never expected that after Luo Wei spent 60 gold coins to buy food, he would still have money to buy a new carriage.

Unexpectedly, there were 12 strong slaves tied to both sides of Luo Wei's carriage.

What's more, I didn't expect that behind the carriage, there were 6 craftsmen and their respective families!

And...there's a big bell tied to the roof of the car!

We had only been apart for more than 3 hours. Why did the lord become a nouveau riche when we met again?

Chariz frowned in surprise, "Master, where did you get this money?"

Luo Wei shrugged, "I sold something valuable."

Charizi let out a breath of cold air, "Is this what I imagined? Well, I have heard that some businessmen who think they are of low status will pay a high price to let a noble help his wife or daughter become pregnant with a noble. Son...but Master, it’s very disgraceful for you to do this!”

Luo Wei suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Charize, I am a serious lord! I really sold something! Not myself!"

Charlize couldn't help but wonder, "What exactly did you sell?"

Luo Wei thought for a while and then answered truthfully: "A level 3 rune stone."

Chariz frowned, her pretty face cold: "Haha, Master, if you don't want to tell me, then you don't have to tell me, but please don't lie to me. How could you have a level 3 rune stone? What did you take me for? You lied to me. A fool can’t lie like this, right?”

Luo Wei looked helpless, "Okay, I... sold a family antique."

Charizi nodded, "This sounds like the truth. Although you are my lord and I am just your knight, when we go out, I hope we can be honest with each other."

"Okay, I promise, we will be honest with each other in the future."

"Then tell me, why did you buy the big clock?"

Luo Wei replied matter-of-factly: "Knock, listen -"

Luo Wei took out the hammer and struck it hard.

"Is it loud?"

Charlize took a deep breath and tried to suppress her irritable mood.

Luo Wei cleared his throat and changed the subject, "By the way, are all my grains packed?"

"Yes, they're all there." Chariz turned back and pointed to the grain transport fleet lined up along the roadside.

The fleet was arranged neatly, each grain truck was equipped with a driver and two horses, and each truck compartment was loaded with 20 large bags of grain.

20 carts totaled 400 large bags. Even if they were all made into bread, it would be enough for Merrill Valley Manor to eat for more than half a year.

But as a strategic reserve, this amount of food is far from enough.

Charlize said: "Now we just have to wait for Viscount Broken Star's escort knights to be in place, and then we can set off home overnight."

"Very good." Luo Wei was very satisfied with Charizi's execution.

Luo Wei turned around and waved to the craftsmen and their families, "You can move all your things to the grain truck and take the grain truck I rented together."

"Oh! Thank you Master Luo Wei for your grace!"

"Mr. Luo Wei is truly the best aristocratic gentleman I have ever encountered in my career!"

"Master is so kind to us! He even let us ride in the grain truck!"

"Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely work hard for you!"

"Oh! Beautiful purple forest territory! We can't wait to start a new life!"

The craftsmen bowed to express their thanks and happily put their luggage and tools on the grain truck.

The craftsmen also took the initiative to help and moved the bell and farm tools to the grain truck.

Chariz frowned slightly and said, "Master... do they know that this trip is to the peaceful Merrill Valley Manor?"

Luo Wei spread his palms and said, "They didn't even ask."

Charlize:…

Luo Wei added: "Chariz, please help me put these slaves on the idle grain trucks."

Chariz nodded appreciatively, "Master, you are quite kind to your slaves. I must have inherited Madam's virtues."

Luo Wei said matter-of-factly: "That's natural - remember to tie them up and don't let them escape. If they escape, they won't be able to feel my virtue."

Charlize opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing and turned around to arrange the slaves.

After all the slaves were tied in the bed of the grain truck, a while later, a team of six knights rode slowly out of the city gate.

No need to ask, this must be the escort team sent by Viscount Broken Star.

Sitting in the carriage, Luo Wei immediately concentrated his consciousness and opened his vision.

The leader of this escort team is indeed a junior level 3 knight.

However, Luo Wei discovered through his vision that the weapons and equipment on this person were only level 1 enchanted.

The two junior level 1 knights behind this knight all have weapons and equipment with level 2 enchantment.

As for the last three people, they are trainee warriors who have not yet awakened, that is, the attendants of the knights. They only wear ordinary light armor.

Although the Broken Star Territory has a strong military strength and has many awakened knights, a junior level 3 knight must be considered a leader, but his equipment is not as good as that of a level 1 knight.

It seems that this level 3 knight is not well received by Viscount Broken Star.

Come to think of it, how could a truly valued level 3 knight be assigned the task of escorting grain and grass?

However, from the overall strength point of view, the combat effectiveness of this knight team is definitely not worse than the Nazaru team at the Marigold Stone Arch Bridge Checkpoint.

Coupled with Sharize, it should be enough even if there is a real fight.

Luo Wei secretly thought: It would be great if I could also have combat skills. If I don’t have combat skills, it would be nice to have life-saving skills.

Unfortunately, the return trip only takes 5 days. It is difficult to upgrade from the 2nd level trainee level of the Ashes sequence to the 3rd level trainee level within 5 days.

Being unable to level up means that it is impossible to obtain new Ashes skills...

Just as Luo Wei was thinking, a rough and firm voice came through the car window:

"By order of Lord Mirandon Stam——"

The leading knight captain rode directly to Rowe's carriage, pressed his chest and gave a short and powerful salute to the carriage: "Melvin Klingberg led a team of 6 people and came to escort Rowe Va. His Excellency Lord Lundin.”

Through the glass window, Luo Wei saw that the Cavaliers captain was close to 50 years old, with a square face, a serious expression, and a standard salute like a precision-calibrated machine.

When Charizi opened the carriage door for Luo Wei, Luo Wei simply adjusted his animal skin cloak and stepped out.

"Nice to meet you, Knight Melvin."

Luo Wei nodded kindly at Knight Maiwen and responded, "Knight Maiwen must be very powerful! I believe that with Knight Maiwen as your escort, this return trip will be very safe, isn't it?"

However, Knight Maiwen's face was tense and there was no fluctuation in his expression: "Yes."

After saying that, Knight Melvin sat motionless on his horse like a sculpture.

"Well……"

Luo Wei originally wanted to praise Knight McVen even more, and try to make friends with him, so as not to get the checkpoint at the Stone Arch Bridge, but the knight didn't take any action.

However, this Maivin knight is difficult to get close to, and he is simply an old-fashioned topic stopper.

It’s no wonder that Viscount Broken Star is not favored by him.

"Okay." Luo Wei could only shrug, "Then, let's set off."

Knight Melvin immediately turned his horse's head and the sound was louder than ringing a bell:

"Everyone is here! Light the torch! Let's go!"

Luo Wei quickly covered his heart and got into the car.
