The smile on Gary's face did not change. "That's a good suggestion. I had long heard that the meat of the Flame Lion was very delicious and could help one recover his stamina quickly. Its magic crystal is also very valuable. Moreover, it blocked your way to Dama Town. If it's a gift, it's simply too meaningful."
However, under the table, the soles of his feet were twisted hard, and the carpet was wrinkled. He stood up, wanting to show the Green family around the territory. When admiring the scenery, he would find a suitable opportunity to mention the Fire-feathered Eagle.
Gary was about to open his mouth when he frowned. With his sharp hearing as a Grade 2 Knight, he could sense the movement outside the door. It was a set of footsteps.
Someone was rushing over.
A beautiful figure flashed at the door, and a valiant female knight appeared. She stroked the beautiful hair on her forehead with her hand. Her cheeks were red, and there were a few drops of sweat on her forehead.
When she saw Rylei, she looked over and seemed surprised. She waved her hands in front of her chest like a girl-next-door greeting. However, Gary, who was familiar with his daughter's personality, saw this scene with his own eyes, and his eyes became deep.
"Hi, Rylei, do you remember me?" Kerina was wearing a tight-fitting suit that accentuated her tight figure. Standing in front of the door, a light breeze blew past, and the few strands of blue hair by her ears swayed gently.
With light steps, Kerina sat beside Rylei.
"I heard from others that an important guest has arrived. I had a feeling that it would be you, but I didn't expect to guess correctly!" Kerina seemed to be happy that she had guessed correctly. She counted on her fingers again and said, "It's been six, seven, eight months since you last came."
Rylei smelled the fragrance and quietly moved three centimeters to the left. The distance just now was a little ambiguous.
This was not a suitable occasion. Of course, he had an impression of the hot woman beside him. She was one of the few noble girls he got along well in the territory of Count Blaine.
Basically, every time he came to Dama Town, he would see Gary's daughter—Kerina.
Without missing a beat, he made a gentlemanly bow. Rylei smiled politely and said, "Beautiful Lady Kerina, it's a pleasure to see you again."
"Really? I'm glad too." Kerina tossed back her hair.
"Ahem ahem. My good daughter, I'm going to take the lord of Young Eagle Town to tour our manor and the scenery of the town." Seeing how overly enthusiastic Kerina was towards Rylei, Gary knocked on the table helplessly and suggested, "Do you want to join us?"
Without asking, Gary seemed to be able to guess the outcome. He picked up a bag of small biscuits and prepared to feed them to some small animals when he met them later. He turned around and prepared to lead the way.
"Of course!" Kerina followed. However, when she followed them, she tugged at Rylei's clothes, wanting to urge them to leave together.
...
The outer castle of Dama Manor was built exceptionally magnificently. Perhaps it was because the first lord was a veteran who had retired from the battlefield.
Reiter had noticed this when he arrived, but as an important guest, he couldn't just go into someone else's knight training ground. It was impolite.
After leaving the Battle Fortress, he looked at the outer fortress field again. It occupied an area of 30,000 square meters and was divided into three small areas: flat ground, sand ground, and forest.
He noticed that Kurts did not follow them into the castle. Instead, he stopped outside the manor and had the time to observe from outside. Not every territory had earth mages, so the outer fortress field here could only be built manually.
It could be said that the security measures were not in place. A considerable portion of the city walls were only a meter tall.
This gave Kurts an opportunity to observe. He saw more than fifty knights practicing sand-buried training in the sand, using the sand to bury their bodies. Although there was no desert in this plain, the soil in many places was very soft and could be used as sand to a certain extent.
He saw determination on the faces of some of the knights. No one was slacking off.
While Kurts was deep in thought, Reiter and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. When Baron Gary saw Kurts staring at his knight training ground, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "How's the standard of the knights here?"
There were five Grade 1 Knights and more than 30 Apprentice Knights inside. Kurts had to admit that this was not a weak force, so he gave an objective evaluation. "I can feel a very good training method from it. The standards here are quite outstanding!"
"Good taste!" Baron Gary smiled in satisfaction. How could his father's standard be low?
Everyone who had contributed to the battlefield and was promoted to a noble had unique characteristics.
His father, Rocky, was a scout on the battlefield. He was good at gathering information and detecting enemies. He was awarded the title of Sir because he repeatedly detected important information.
Therefore, when he retreated to the back, he mostly taught concealment, endurance, and so on.
Ten minutes later, the group wandered to a field with low-grade magic plants.
Rylei took the opportunity to look at the flourishing plants. "This is a nice field of magic plants," he said. "Sir Gary, do you have any extra seeds of water-type magic plants? This time, I'm willing to use the seeds of medium-level magic plants of other types to exchange for water-type magic plants of the same level."
"Exchanging seeds?" Gary glanced at Rylei in surprise, then back at Reiter, but didn't ask why. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Oh, if Sir Reiter needs it, I've accumulated more than 30 Ice Crystal Lily seeds and am preparing to plant them next month. But… it would be best if you gave me a medium-grade earth-element magic plant." After saying that, he looked at Reiter and waited for a response.
Sir Gary's reaction seemed to involve a secret, but it could also be his subjective imagination. Even if they did, it was normal for nobles to respect each other's privacy, so they should not ask rashly.
He agreed immediately. "No problem."
"I'm not in the habit of carrying magic plant seeds around with me. They're all in the castle. The sale may be due to take place at a soiree. I don't think Sir Reiter is in a hurry to do it now."
"Of course. When I came here, I seemed to have seen large-scale Rock Iron Trees planted in the Hematite Mountain area in front of the town."
"You mean the Rock Iron Tree? So you noticed it. That's right, I made the decision. You should have heard that some remnant ores will bloom with the afterglow of time. Moreover, my luck seemed to be quite good. I encountered the hematite remnant ores and used their afterglow.
"Nowadays, the soil around Hematite Mountain is much tougher. I tried a few magic plants before I settled on the Rock Iron Tree. Because it has the best effect, its hardness has improved quite a bit," Baron Gary explained nonchalantly.
