Chapter 11: Attack

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After thinking for a while, Heath could only put this aside.

The wedding continued.

“Hehe, Apprentice Knight Heath, can I have the honor to ask you to dance?”

“Can you line up? I came first, Apprentice Knight Heath. You just promised to have a drink with me. Don’t go back on your word.”

“Apprentice Knight Heath, Can you accompany me to the garden? My chest feels a little stuffy…”

“Can you help me to the room next door to rest for a while? I might be a little drunk…”

If there were people in the front who thought that Heath was just a lucky dog who got lucky by relying on sneak attacks, then now, his strength was beyond doubt.

Talented people would be welcomed everywhere, and here was no exception.

For a time, people all showed great enthusiasm for this rising genius Apprentice Knight in River Valley.

There were countless compliments, wooing, and flattery.

There were countless girls who came to flirt with him, dancing, talking, drinking, and chatting.

They always pulled their collars very low, or pretended to accidentally touch Heath with sensitive parts of their bodies, and occasionally let out some strange but hot moans to arouse people’s desire.

There were all kinds of explicit or implicit suggestions, not to mention those who pretended to be drunk, those who felt stuffy in their chest, those who invited them to the garden for some fresh air, and those who invited them to their rooms to rest.

It was not an exaggeration at all. As long as Heath was willing, he could easily make these girls strip naked, lie down on the bed, and take any position he wanted.

The nobles had always been open-minded, and more importantly, it was the amazing talent and amazing potential that Heath had shown.

He was only 14 years old and already had the strength of a Knight. If he continued to develop like this, it was very likely that he would become a Grand Knight.

It should be known that a Knight could control a family.

A Grand Knight was a terrifying existence that could control a country…

…

After the wedding.

Heath was arranging his saddle and preparing to return to Graystone Castle.

At this time, the Baron walked over and waved at him. “Heath, give your horse to Kayla. You’ll ride in the carriage with me.”

The Apprentice Knights were envious. It was a great honor to ride in the carriage with the Baron.

Heath put down the reins. “Yes.”

Heath followed the Baron to the carriage. He looked around the carriage. The carriage was very wide. There were two soft leather sofas on the left and right sides. There was also a coffee table in the middle.

A footman stood beside them. After the two of them got on, he took some tea from the cabinet and brewed it for them.

The Baron pointed at the teacup in front of Heath and said, “Try it. It’s Blood Crown.”

Heath picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was filled with red tea leaves. It was like blood, and it tasted very fishy.

The Baron asked, “How does it taste?”

Heath said, “Very fishy.”

The Baron laughed and said, “Hahaha, this is a tea that only the King can drink.”

It was said that the King of the Rodin Kingdom favored Blood Crown.

At this moment, an Apprentice Knight came to the side of the carriage and said, “Sir Baron, the carriage is ready.”

This was the second son of Knight Hall, Matthew. After Knight Hall died in the battle, his eldest son was arranged by the Baron to marry Baron Bain’s wife. His second son was brought into the castle by the Baron to be his guard.

The Baron nodded and said, “Let’s set off.”

“Yes.”

The convoy began to set off towards Graystone Castle.

While drinking tea, the Baron chatted casually with Heath.

He asked, “How is it? Do you like that girl?”

Heath nodded and said, “Very satisfied.”

The Baron said earnestly, “You can play with her, but you have to pay attention to moderation. A woman will only affect the speed of drawing a sword. You have very outstanding talent as a Knight. Don’t lose it because of this.”

Heath said, “Thank you for your teachings.”

Seeing Heath’s calm reaction, the Baron was slightly stunned. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Heath’s expression. Seeing that his expression was normal, he could not help but be stunned.

He asked, “You haven’t touched that girl yet?”

Heath explained truthfully, “I feel that my body is still developing. If I come into contact with this kind of thing too early, it will affect my growth, and it will not be good for my training.”

The Baron opened his mouth.

Everyone knew that a woman would only affect the speed of drawing a sword. However, how many people could really restrain their desires?

After a while, he laughed and said, “Hahaha, Heath, you will become an outstanding Knight. At the very least, you will become an Advanced Knight!”

There were still a few stages between a Knight and a Grand Knight. They were the Beginner Knight, Intermediate Knight, and Advanced Knight.

Based on Heath’s current temperament, willpower, and talent, it was not difficult for him to become an Advanced Knight.

As for the Grand Knight, the Baron did not dare to say anything. As a Knight himself, he knew that this level could not be achieved through hard work and perseverance alone. It depended on one’s life.

If one was destined to be able to go up, then they could go up. If they could not, then they could not.

The Baron said to the servant, “Take out the things.”

“Yes.”

The servant opened the cabinet and took out two bags. After opening the bags, one was filled with gold coins, and the other was filled with a small black stone.

The Baron explained, “This bag of gold coins was given to you by Leicester, and the one beside it is my reward for you.”

Heath said, “Thank you very much.”

As he said that, he put away the two items with a strange expression. Not to mention the gold coins, what was this small black stone beside it?

Just as he was curious, he did not expect the system’s notification to ring in his ear.

[Beep, supernatural substance discovered. Do you wish to extract it?]

Heath was stunned.

He said, ‘Extract.’

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.1]

Spiritual power? This thing increased spiritual power?

Just as Heath was stunned, he felt a strange energy surge into his mind. His mind instantly became much clearer, and his thoughts seemed to be much more active than before.

So that was it. Was this spiritual power?

It was impossible not to be curious about this fourth attribute. During this period of time, Heath had also studied and changed many magical beasts, but he had not been able to bring any improvement to it.

He did not expect to see an improvement on this inconspicuous small stone.

At once, Heath could not help but look at the small stone in front of him curiously. It was about the size of a thumb, square, and gray-black. It looked very inconspicuous, no different from a small stone on the side of the road.

‘What is this?’

At this moment, the Baron’s voice sounded.

The Baron said with a smile, “Don’t underestimate this stone. Its value is no less than the 100 gold coins that old man Leicester gave you.”

Heath was slightly surprised. “This thing is so valuable?”

The Baron continued, “Focus on your cultivation. Graystone Castle has never been stingy with the rewards for those who are capable. After you become a Knight, I will officially award you a farm.”

Heath was even more confused.

After all, a farm was not something that could be completed with just a shabby house and a few acres of land. There had to be subjects, servants, farmers, and so on. A complete farm had to have at least one to two hundred people, not to mention other resources.

However, the situation in the Rodin Kingdom was that there were more Knights than there were farms. Most of the Knights in most regions had no farms and could only receive allowances. The previous Knight Thor was an example.

Although the Baron had taken over the White Wolf Territory, the White Wolf Territory had long been divided up. Heath could not think of where the Baron would get a farm for him?

Heath quickly said, “Yes.”

No matter what, he had to agree first. Of course, it was great to have a farm. He could do whatever he wanted in his territory, just like a local emperor.

At this moment, the carriage stopped.

“Who are you people? This is the carriage of the Noen family. Get out of the way… Ah!”

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

There was a sudden commotion outside the window. The sound of arrows being shot, the sound of weapons clashing, and the neighing of war horses could be heard.

Heath frowned and quickly grabbed his crossguard sword.

Matthew, the guard, appeared at the window in a panic. There was an arrow stuck in his bloody shoulder.

He said hurriedly, “Sir… Sir Baron, we’ve been attacked!”

The Baron nodded. “Okay, I understand.”

He looked very calm, and there was even a faint smile on his lips.

Then, he said to Heath calmly, “Let’s go, Heath. We’ll go down and have a look. The man who sent you the farm is here.”

The two of them got off the carriage.

Although they were attacked, the Apprentice Knights of Graystone Castle reacted quickly. They had all gathered in the carriage and erected a few large shields in front of them.

Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, the enemy did not continue to attack rashly. Instead, they walked out from the hidden bushes and surrounded the carriage.

At this time, everyone was able to see the person who attacked them clearly. This sight made the Apprentice Knights present feel terrified.

The number of people who had attacked them was more than ten times that of them. Moreover, they were well-equipped and their cross swords were gleaming with cold light. From the looks of it, they were not easy to deal with.

Just who were these people?!

The answer was soon revealed.

Baron Carter walked out and shouted to the front, “Viscount Leicester, since you’re here, don’t you intend to show yourself?”

There was a moment of silence before footsteps could be heard.

Da, da, da…

After a while, a figure walked out.

It was Leicester!
