Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 227. The Road to Magic and Martial Arts
"This time Fernando was able to return safely, thanks to Rand." On the evening of the 26th, Earl Maned Wolf specially hosted a banquet for Rand to thank him for his help. Unlike the previous balls, this family banquet included Rand and Tanya, both members of the maned wolf family, made Rand feel like he had entered a wolf den.

There is a lot of monster meat on the dining table, including ball electric eel, dragon egg, highland magic sheep and abyss frog, which are rare in the northwest region. The fresher the monster meat, the simpler the cooking method, and many meats are only slightly processed. Just put it on the dinner plate.Such a rich banquet is extremely rare even in the Earl's Mansion, and all the demon possessors present feasted on it.

Earl Kempins Maned Wolf looks much better than before. Although he is still a little thin, his spirit has recovered, and he eats the Warcraft meat in the bowl no less than the young people around him.

"Rand, eat more monster meat, I think you should have reached the advanced level?" The earl is very sensitive to Rand's level, "The level is not some kind of proof, but the embodiment of the level of magic power. Nothing, the higher the level is, the more you need to replenish the beast meat and potion, otherwise you will be downgraded."

"Understood." Rand's family members are not middle-level or high-level, so no one knows how to go after the senior knight. Now that the earl is willing to guide, it can only be said to be a kind of kindness.

Now that he knew the earl's kindness, Rand quickly seized the opportunity, "My lord, what do you think I should do as a knight?"

The count stopped the knife and fork in his hand, picked up a glass of potion wine, thought while drinking, and then said seriously: "To be honest, Rand, your knighthood and the development of your territory may not be well balanced. Whether it is a knight As a magician, a rich magical environment is required for promotion and breakthrough, but the environment on the Galloping Horse Plain is very harsh."

While speaking, the count used a fork to pick up a piece of highland devil lamb chops, "For example, this kind of highland devil sheep, you are born as a low-level monster, and when you slaughter it, it is an intermediate level. This kind of devil sheep can only be produced in Longtai Mountain in the capital of the king. The higher your level, the higher your requirements for Warcraft meat."

"So as a knight, you'd better practice in the capital of the kingdom." Having said this, the earl smiled, "But as a lord, now you want to conquer the entire Galloping Horse Plain, and your territory cannot be separated from you. I think, You can let Instructor Tania train you to become a magic knight, both magic and martial arts are very common among the great nobles, as long as you have enough resources."

"I'm already a high-level knight now, and I know a little bit of magic. Does this count as both magic and martial arts?" Lante asked.

"What are you, a real dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, the level of magic power is about the same as that of battle qi, magic and swordsmanship complement each other," the count said with a smile, "Let me give you an example, is your horse already an intermediate level?" Demonic beast? If one day you don’t have to ride a horse, you can still achieve the combat power you are now riding a horse, it means that your magic and martial arts are well cultivated.”

Rand probably understood what the earl meant. Now Rand also regards Agni as a magician above the intermediate level, and he is a high-level knight.

"Father, you said that Rand has reached the senior knight?" Fernando grasped the point, a little unbelievable, "His horse has already reached the intermediate rank?"

"Congratulations, Viscount Lante." Elenda was very happy when he heard this, "It seems that you will inherit the position of the Earl of Yeqi City from the Benma family. It should be no problem."

"Let me borrow your good words." Rand smiled.

There were quite a few women at the banquet, except for Elenda Maned Wolf, the flower of the maned wolf, there were 5 or 6 other girls from various main branches, including intermediate mages, knight apprentices, and mage apprentices. When the children heard about Rand's strength, they raised their heads involuntarily to reveal the white and tender neck and collarbone, and some pulled down the corset of the dress to reveal the white scenery.

Compared with the coquettish girls, Elenda's knight costume is only a little decorated on the neckline, and it can be regarded as a clean sport.

After dinner, Rand still met the count alone, but this time the count did not meet on his recliner, but in his study.

"Thanks to Teacher Tanya, now I feel that I have almost recovered. If I could meet her sooner, maybe I will go in person this time." As soon as the earl started, he praised Tanya.

However, Lante felt that even if the earl met Imola, he probably wouldn't hold out two more tricks than Robenqi Baixiao, but with his rich experience, it shouldn't be a problem to lead people to retreat completely.

"My lord, when I searched the half-orc camp, I found that they began to annex the surrounding half-orc tribes in May and June last year, and began to expand rapidly after September, which is quite synchronized with the time when the gray goose barbarians acted back then. .”

Rant intentionally made the Earl notice the 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 Plain, when it's cold in September, these tribes will interact with each other." Annexation, you don't have to care too much."

The earl's words suddenly choked Rand, and since he believed it was a coincidence, Rand had to continue talking, and he could only mention another matter.

"My lord, is there any shop in Maned Wolf City to decorate and add furniture to the mansion?" New buildings have just been built in Rand's Viscount territory and Dad's Baronie territory, "I want to have a dance here, but the castle is too shabby gone."

"Oh, that's easy to talk about. Go ahead and call the butler." The earl was very happy with Rand's request, so he called the butler and asked him to take Rand to buy it tomorrow. "Rand, tell me if you need anything in the future. I heard that you came back from the Frostwolf Forest and didn't capture any slaves. I think you can take a look in the market recently. Maybe there will be a large number of half-orcs in the near future. .”

The earl's reminder moved Rand a little bit, but the shopping plan didn't come true.

In the early morning of the 27th, Rand received a message from Dugan from the imperial capital. The Bai Xiao 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 own family, and Rand could not refuse.So he went to the pier outside the city early in the morning to give his army a day off.

Neither Rand nor the Earl wanted the barbarians to show off too much in the city, so the Earl's Mansion made a batch of badges with galloping horses for Rand, and knights could enter the city with the badges without paying 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 who participated in the war.

The knights could enter the city in batches, and the barbarian cavalry could enjoy fine wine and delicacies by the river outside the city. Everyone got what they needed. Only the Maned Wolf Knights gathered overnight last night, and today they went up to the city wall to patrol.
