Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 333: Lord is Happy to Become a Father

A swish sound.

The young man was filled with anger. "I want to fight you, right now. No one in the Rogan Reis family in the West is a coward!"

The entire Seven Kingdoms were extremely enthusiastic about duels. No one tried to stop the conflict between the two. Instead, they were happy to see it. The guards around them even offered long swords to the two.

The two princesses looked on with excitement. In their opinion, it was great that someone was willing to compete for them.

"Levi, who do you think will win?"

At some point, the well-dressed Harland came to the lord, raised the glass in his hand with a smile and said, "Would you like a drink?"

"Both are possible." Levi replied casually after taking the wine glass handed to him by the waiter and clinking it with Haaland.

Just as he finished speaking, there were cries of surprise in the field. The two looked together and found that it was the tall young man lying in a pool of blood.

"Old Gray's grandson is pretty good, isn't he?" Harland smiled and waved his hand. "Take him to the court physician for treatment."

"Levi, are you really not going to consider marrying a princess?" His Majesty still had evil intentions.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the nobles looked over here, and the two princesses and the insignificant Ai Xilu were also looking forward to it.

In fact, if the king had not long intended to marry his daughter to the lord of Highcliff Castle, it is estimated that many Derby nobles would strongly recommend their daughters to the lord. Even if they took her as a concubine, they would be so excited that they could not sleep in the middle of the night.

This is the new Duke of Derby, and his strength is at the top of the continent. It is only a matter of time for him to grow up. If he can establish some connections with him now, the benefits in the future will be unimaginable.

"Well, I actually do intend to bring a princess back to Highcliff Castle."

Levi said with a smile without being pretentious.

As soon as these words were spoken, the two princesses' eyes lit up immediately, and they threw seductive glances at them as if they were free.

"I'm so envious. I wonder which sister Lord Levi wants to marry."

Ai Xilu, standing in the corner, had a look of envy on her face.

Harland immediately burst into laughter, "Who is Levi? I'll make the decision for you."

"Of course it's Her Royal Highness Princess Aishilu."

The lord looked at the little girl in the corner who looked like an ugly duckling.

"Huh?" Ai Xilu had a look of disbelief on her face. She stood there, seemingly not yet able to react.

The faces of the two princesses began to distort.

The nobles all stood there in a daze, as if they were trying to recall whether there was such a princess.

……

One month later, in Bailiu City in the northern border.

This northern city was now covered in white, with snow drifting all over the land. The cold wind blowing from the north made the pine needles rustle.

The barbarians of Gaoyabao Brigade were wrapped in white wolfskin cloaks unique to the north, looking like fat and strong polar bears. They were working hard to load the goods bought from Bailiu City onto the carriages.

These goods were ordered in advance by sending someone to notify Lolina, a northern merchant. The Gaoyabao brigade that set out from Gunda and arrived in Bailiu City could directly load them onto the carriages and return.

"Master Fu Jin, have you ever considered coming to Gaoya Castle for a cup of tea?" Li Wei was squatting on the doorstep, slurping noodles, and asked Fu Jin and Mai Sha who came to say goodbye.

"Well, I have thought about this, but not now." Master Fu Jin, wearing a wizard robe, glanced at Maisha who looked reluctant beside him calmly, but did not directly refuse: "The church has always had clergy hired by the nobles as full-time wizards, but this matter needs to be discussed with the bishop."

"We really need to discuss this." Levi nodded in agreement and continued, "Gaoyabao is now like a child standing on the shoulders of a giant. It looks majestic, but in fact it lacks a lot of things."

"If Master Fu Jin comes to Highcliff Castle, I will definitely welcome him."

The current development of Gaoya Castle is actually very abnormal. Obviously, whether it is the army, the people or the basic building facilities, they are at most equivalent to an earldom, but its reputation has already reached a level above that of a duke.

This kind of person has only a title but no real ability. Once he is gone, the consequences will be obvious.

Especially the spellcasting team, which has been supported by only Heather and other four drow priests and Sam, the crappy shaman, until now.

Even though his opponents in Debe are either epic or legendary, Fu Jin is just like a lousy magic apprentice among them, so he doesn't take this high-level ice sorcerer seriously. In fact, if he puts his opponent in the wilderness, he is enough to defeat all the country bumpkin shamans in the wilderness and make them call him Master Fu Jin superior.

"Don't worry, Master Levi. My teacher and I should be able to arrive at Highcliff Castle soon."

Maisha patted her chest, looking very confident.

She had long wanted to go to Highcliff Castle, and then, like those famous wizards in history, assist a wise king and become famous forever.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." The lord smiled and nodded, without discouraging the other party's enthusiasm.

Fu Jin sighed secretly, said goodbye, and led the sorcerer girl away.

"Sir, don't you want to go and meet Duke Florina?" As the two left, Ferro jumped out.

"No, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Levi waved his hand.

In fact, he didn't want to feel Florina's contempt. After all, he had righteously rejected the other party's proposal of marriage last time, but now he turned around and took a princess home. He could imagine that he would hear endless cold snorts like waves before he even stepped into the door.

After all, this tiger girl is not as easy to please as Tina.

"By the way, do you want to come to our High Cliff Castle to develop? I only have two or three big and small cats there now. If you come, you will be the second in command."

Based on the core principle that if you use the hoe well, there is any corner that cannot be dug down, the lord who is really short of talents is extremely eager to recruit talented people, and will do harm to anyone he catches.

"Come on, I still get a monthly salary from the Noble Garden. If I go to your place, I'll probably have to work for you for free, and maybe even have to add my own money to the bill." Ferro didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that the lord would actually set his sights on him.

Even though Highcliff Castle seems to be at its peak now, there is still a long way to go before it can become a duke worthy of its current status.

The Lord of Highcliff Castle did earn a lot of gold in the South and Gunda, but this money would only be used to develop the territory.

"Look, look at what you are saying. Can't we just fight for an ideal together?"

"I'm past my ideal age. If you want to talk about ideals, you should go find those young people. I think there are a lot of apprentice knights who are willing to wield swords for you as long as you provide them with food and shelter." Ferro waved his hand. He really had no ideas in this regard at the moment.

"Well, I originally said that you have studied the "Agricultural School Spells", and I happen to have a few lost agricultural school spells for you to look at, but now it seems that it is better to forget it." The lord got up from the ground, shook his head and sighed. Ferro was stunned for a moment, and was even more excited than hearing that he had picked up 100,000 gold coins. He hurriedly grabbed Levi's hand: "What kind of spells are these, sir?!"

Ever since he knew that his magical skills in this lifetime could only reach that of a low-level magician, he focused on studying various obscure spells. Among them, the lost "Agricultural School Spells" seemed to be tailor-made for him.

It doesn't require a high level of magical skills to use it, but its effects are hard to imagine.

If we learn this and use it to benefit farmers, it will be a great merit.

It would be easy for it to be passed down through the ages or even have a single page in the family history book.

No man can refuse these two honors.

"What spell?" Levi slapped the bowl with only noodle soup left in it into Ferro's hand, clapped his hands, turned around and got on the carriage of the Gaoyabao Brigade, leaving only one sentence behind.

"At the moment I know one, it should be called soil fertility technique."

"By the way, I'm going to borrow Skye temporarily. Remember to tell Florina about it."

"Young men, let's go home!" Someone's loud voice shook the snow on the roofs on both sides of the road.

Immediately, a burst of ghostly howlings from the barbarians sounded, loud enough to blow the dome off.

Ferro looked at the figure gradually disappearing from his sight, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He lowered his head and looked at the bowl in his hand which was completely eaten up and only had soup left. He seemed to understand something.

He threw it to his personal attendant and rushed towards the Noble Garden.

……

"and then?"

Two months later in High Cliff Castle, Tina asked curiously while knitting a hat with wool thread.

"I didn't expect that guy was such a good-looking idiot that he was killed by a little brat." Levi took a big bite of the apple. "Later, I thought that Ai Xilu wouldn't have a good life there anyway, so I just took her away. No one dared to go against me anyway."

He had just returned and before he could even sit down, he was already telling the people who stayed behind in Gaoya Castle everything that happened during his trip to Gunda. His wisdom and bravery were definitely the most important part of the story, and needed to be emphasized repeatedly, with details added to make it more legendary.

This caused the goat maids who were listening in to cover their mouths and scream in surprise.

Aishilu sat next to Tina, looking very reserved. Just as reserved was Aunt Norma, who had taken care of her.

Tina placed the knitted hat on her head and said, "I didn't expect it to be just right. Sister Ai Xilu, this woolen hat will be my gift to you."

"Thank you." Ai Xilu felt happy from the bottom of her heart. This was the first time someone gave her a gift. She took it and hugged it tightly in her arms.

"Aunt Norma, I guess you have to wait until I finish weaving yours." Tina looked at the middle-aged woman next to Ai Xilu and comforted her.

"Miss Tina, I'm sorry to trouble you." Norma said nervously.

She was just a maid, and the one in front of her was said to be Lord Levi's legitimate fiancée. The difference in status between the two was too great.

Looking at Tina who handled the relationship very well, Levi was secretly satisfied.

There is no doubt that he will not have only one woman in the future, so the right wife must be someone who is broad-minded and understanding, and Tina is obviously the most suitable one.

"You are now a powerful man famous in the Seven Kingdoms. Who dares to go against you?" Miriel, the half-elf who has regarded Highcliff Castle as his home, rarely went against the lord.

"But the situation was really dangerous. If we were blamed for the death of Archbishop Liro, it would be troublesome." Tina patted her chest with lingering fear.

It can be seen that the lord's ability to tell stories is simply fascinating. The only shortcoming is that he likes to add some words that have nothing to do with the content to praise himself.

Speaking of this, the Lord couldn't help but get a little angry, and said viciously, "If I see these Chaos Cult guys again, I will make them regret being born into this world."

If it was just a simple assassination attempt, he would not be so angry, but the other party's move almost left a stain on his wise and brave figure in history. How could he tolerate this?

"What I love most is seeing rivers of blood!" The red dragon soul floating in the air wandered over with an excited look on its face.

Unfortunately, he was slapped back by the lord as soon as he came over. "Hurry up and turn down the temperature. Do you want to overheat me to death?"

They were in the council hall of Highcliff Castle, and in the middle there was a huge weapon rack specially built to hold the "Howl of Degen". When not in battle, the biggest use of this legendary weapon was to be used as a fireplace by the lord.

This action was well received by the women of Highcliff Castle. The wilderness is already cold, and the weather has been especially bad in recent years, which is a great torture for women who are already afraid of the cold. The effect of the fireplace is minimal in such an empty hall.

The appearance of the flaming sword was like a ray of dawn appearing in the dark clouded sky.

If there was any dwarf blacksmith present who saw the lord ruining a carefully crafted legendary weapon like this, he would curse him in anger.

Soon the flame on the sword dimmed a little, and Tina, whose face was originally red, returned to normal.

"By the way, why don't I see Orlak and Gus?"

Then the Lord asked curiously.

After coming back, he didn't even see the Centaur guards, let alone the orc shaman and the Centaur leader. Only Hogg stayed in High Cliff Castle.

"This strange weather in the wilderness not only brought heavy snow, but also brought many powerful monsters. High Cliff Castle is fine, but the iron mine often has monsters attacking the kobolds who are absent from work."

"In order to prevent such vicious incidents from happening, the two of them stayed there with their men." Tina looked a little worried.

"It seems that the elemental tide is getting more and more intense." Levi nodded, not surprised.

As the elemental power became stronger, not only did the previously invisible monsters appear one after another like bamboo shoots after spring rain, but even the cultivation of those magicians improved at an unimaginable speed.

There will be more and more strong people in the future, instead of being able to be counted on one hand like now.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in with the cold wind, three heads sticking out their tongues and gasping for breath.

"Where are you going to play again, you stupid dog?" However, Levi soon discovered that there was a small green figure sitting on the head of the dog in the middle, with its two small hands tightly grasping two handfuls of dog hair.

"Father, you are finally back!"

Li Weiru was hit so hard that he became dazed on the spot, not even noticing that the apple in his mouth had fallen to the ground.
