King of the North: My Lord's Diary Weekly Summary

"Were you and your mother discussing bloodlines just now, sir?"

Renee asked softly, "I overheard something...you're interested in this?"

I guess so.

Wayne took a sip of water: "Understanding your opponents and your allies is a lord's duty."

"So what do you think?"

Annie suddenly spoke up: "What are the abilities of our wolf clan?"

This question is somewhat tentative.

Wayne put down his wooden cup, thought carefully, and then replied, "Judging from your symbiotic relationship with your wolf companions and the shaman lady's brief description, I think your bloodline talents lean towards 'connection' and 'coordination'?"

I think it will be richer and more magical than I originally imagined—it's not just a simple amplification or a tacit understanding with wolves.

A hint of admiration flashed in Greta's eyes.

Anne's expression softened a bit: "Few people get to the point."

Most of the kingdom's people think of us as barbaric wolf tamers.

"Prejudice stems from ignorance."

Wien said, "And I hate ignorance."

"Support!"

The conversation that followed went much more smoothly.

Although Anne maintained her distance, she responded to every question and occasionally asked a question in return.

Wayne could sense that the girl was intelligent, curious, and also had a pure side.

She doesn't easily trust others, but once she approves of someone, they become a staunch ally.

Renee, on the other hand, was better at creating a pleasant atmosphere. She noticed that Wayne had taken an extra bite of a certain wild vegetable, so she quietly introduced the growing season and medicinal value of the plant.

Her gentleness and thoughtfulness were like a breath of fresh air, and Wayne discovered that she was always able to keenly perceive changes in other people's emotions and start or adjust the topic at the right time.

Moreover, the two of them were indeed teammates in the same squad—and childhood friends as well.

After the meal, Wayne gained a basic understanding of the two girls and roughly finalized the follow-up arrangements.

"Then, the investigation will be scheduled for the morning after tomorrow."

Wayne concluded, "I need two days to prepare personnel and supplies."

Four teams set off at the same time, and I will travel with one of them.

As for the specific team division method, I will consider it further—it will be finalized before the operation the day after tomorrow.

"clear."

Anne nodded: "I will prepare my team."

……

After the dinner, Wayne had just stepped out of the shaman's hut when he saw Ronald and Wright waiting not far away.

Both men wore relaxed expressions, clearly having gained quite a bit from the banquet at the main camp.

"grown ups."

Ronald approached him: "How did things go?"

"very good."

Wayne glanced at the closed door behind him: "The mark is temporarily concealed."

What about over there?

Wright picked up the conversation and reported in a low voice: "Isaac and Caleb did not return at mealtime; they are said to be leading a patrol outside."

Potter and Cindy have been very supportive, especially Potter—he spoke to us privately and made it clear that he would support you.

"What were the exact words?"

Wayne asked as he walked.

Ronald recalled, "He said, 'I understand what the patriarch means, and I wholeheartedly respect and agree with this judgment.'"

On a personal level, Cindy and I would support Lord Wayne as our true leader.

Wayne's lips curled into a slight smile.

……

As for Wayne, he was certainly very pleased with Porter's words.

Why?

Because this proves that my performance this week will be better!

Wayne sat at the desk by the window, facing the silvery moonlight, his eyes fixed on the increasingly bright silver in his palm.

"As expected, it's a reward from Mei Zi!"

Wayne had been itching to read it for a week, but the Lord's Notebook certainly didn't disappoint him!

Whether it's the improvement in his personal panel and power panel, or the objective increase in his score this week compared to previous weeks, it undoubtedly affirms his consistent efforts.

"So, what kind of reward should we choose next?"

Wayne's eyes were fixed on the three options displayed in the Lord's Notebook—this was a reward of the same level as the Frostraven Bloodline Reagent that had increased his physical attributes by 50%!

To be honest, this time, Wayne's favorite option is a weapon.

This is clearly an option with an extremely high minimum requirement—although the Crimson Pulsating Pickaxe doesn't currently have much impact on Wayne's benefits, its ability to break through frozen ground without hindrance demonstrates the strength of this option.

If he could obtain a Purple-grade sword... Wayne felt that his strength would probably be even more terrifying than the boost from injecting the Frostraven bloodline!

However, of the remaining two options, there was one that he liked.

That is a follower.

The last time he faced the choice between weapons and followers was during his first settlement—back then, he hadn't yet read the instruction manuals on the geography, regulations, and lords of the North, and was still quite inexperienced in the work of a lord.

At that time, he naively thought that with Ronald, who was in charge of external affairs, Wright, who was in charge of internal affairs, and conscripts with various experiences, he didn't need to rush to recruit followers with his golden touch.

But now, having experienced numerous crises, he has come to realize just how important a well-designed, almost customizable minion is.

Moreover, the followers in the journal rewards should be absolutely loyal to you—otherwise they would never be listed in the same column as other such attractive rewards.

Such a precious option is absolutely perfect for this Purple-level reward!
