Chapter 11 (2/2)

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!
