Fantasy Family Simulator - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Nina’s Farewell Method

George slapped his forehead in frustration and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He had forgotten to lock the door last night when he had been so preoccupied with Haig. He smiled awkwardly. “This is my mistake. It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Svieta.

“Although the security level in Young Eagle Town is not bad, you have to be careful. You shouldn’t be so careless.” Svieta casually reminded him before getting to the point. “I just received a notice that the caravan will set off in the afternoon, so you don’t have enough time.

“Be sure to prepare the fodder for the horses in advance! Check carefully for illnesses, injuries, and so on. You’re more professional than me. In short, the caravan will set off in the afternoon. It definitely won’t change this time. Let’s hurry up.”

Looking at the dumbfounded George, Svieta did not think too much about it. He thought that it was a reaction due to time constraints. He left after saying this.

However, George was in a bad mood. He fiddled with his messy hair that he had just woken up and did not have time to tidy up. “Huh? It’s only been delayed for a day. We’ll set off again in the afternoon! It’s only been a night. I wonder if Haig is pregnant…”

He paced back and forth in the house anxiously. After a few minutes, he lowered his head helplessly and said, “Sigh, I can only send Haig and Ash out together. With last night’s experience, the possibility of breeding again is very high. I hope this won’t affect the caravan’s journey.”

Determination flashed across his eyes as he thought to himself, “I have to make good use of this opportunity. If they’re separated for a period of time, the night they finally had might have been for nothing.”

In the afternoon, the caravan at the entrance of the Deep Rock Castle was ready to set off.

“…This is the situation.” George told the Lord about what had happened in the past few days and last night.

Reiter rode on Ash and listened to George’s report. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand. “I understand. During the caravan’s journey, I’ll give Haig and Ash a chance to be alone during breaks. This is a good thing. If Haig is pregnant, it means that your work is very effective. In the long run, it will be very beneficial to the caravan’s transportation ability. Well done!”

After hearing the last words and obtaining the lord’s approval, George finally felt relieved and happily bowed.

Whoosh Whoosh~ A sudden gust of cold wind blew the hat away. He reacted in time and grabbed it firmly in his palm.

George shivered and reached out to grab it. His palm was ice-cold. He was stunned for a moment, and snowflakes actually floated down from the sky.

“Eh? Why is there a sudden wind? No, it’s snowing!” Reiter’s eyes flashed with surprise as he subconsciously looked at Rylei.

The latter had also turned his head to look and had some guesses. As expected, he found Nina hiding behind a window on the third floor, shaking her head at him.

It turned out to be a mischievous prank.

This snow was the work of the snow elf. Fortunately, Rylei had told Nina in advance about the things to take note of in the Deep Rock Castle.

The most important thing was not to run around, let alone expose herself.

This was because Reiter had once warned that the current Young Eagle Town had yet to establish a solid foundation. Even though the elves could not be robbed, they could not show it in a high-profile manner.

Only when one’s strength reached a certain level could they avoid the negative effects of human nature’s jealousy. Therefore, under Nina’s control, the snow covered a wide area.

Not only did it cover Young Eagle Town, but it also spread out for a mile. No one would notice anything amiss.

Understanding that this was a farewell, Rylei smiled easily back and waved behind him. Nina jumped in satisfaction before flashing past the window and out of sight. His secrecy measures were well in place. Deep in the third floor of the main keep, an igloo had been built as Nina’s usual living quarters.

He would often go to the igloo to meditate or play with Nina.

“Father, shall we set off?” Rylei was in a good mood.

“Let’s go!” Reiter waved his hand and clamped his legs on the horse’s belly. Ash under him carried him forward.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

The sound of horse hooves was close and crisp.

The team at the back followed closely. Tucker and Rylei were at the left rear and right rear of Reiter, respectively. Kurts, fully armed, also rode a gray-skinned horse and followed closely behind the three of them. He had the serious and cautious attitude of a mercenary taking risks outside.

By the time the team left Young Eagle Town, Kurts was still on high alert. Behind them were the apprentice knights Miguel, Tru, four squires, and the packhorses that were pulling the goods.

Looking back, there was a small group of people. This scene made Reiter feel a sense of familiarity from his life on the battlefield. However, from following behind others, he had become a lord. Although the scale could not be compared to the scale of the front line where there were hundreds or even tens of thousands people, Reiter had a fighting spirit in his heart.

It was only a matter of time before he grew into a lord.

He silently compared the previous simulation in his heart. From the looks of it, it was basically the same.

Other than the fact that he did not bring any antiques with him this time, as long as he did not take the initiative to tell anyone, no one would know that the Deep Rock Castle had secretly obtained this benefit.

A day later, the weather was gloomy, and there was no sunlight even in the morning. The atmosphere was oppressive. If Reiter did not know the results of the simulation, he would more or less be affected by the environment and have emotional fluctuations. Ash was a little dispirited in the morning, but after eating the Wind Wolf jerky he fed, he regained his vitality.

“It seems that Ash and Haig have really gotten along. Ever since we left Young Eagle Town, the two horses have been rubbing each other’s necks affectionately whenever there’s a break.” Reiter thought about last night. Ash and Haig’s second confrontation had exhausted his mount.

He was naturally happy to see it happen. Although everything in this world was good, there were no horse-type magical beasts. Whether it was nobles or armies, the main transportation and riding tools relied on horses. Only a small number of elites could rely on the help of magical beasts after signing contracts with them.

Therefore, the importance of horses was self-evident. High-quality horses were even more attractive to a faction.

Reiter had been in the army for many years and had seen many horses. He believed that he had a certain level of knowledge. Based on his judgment, Haig was definitely one of the best horses. There were many kinds of dark horses, but it was rare to see someone as outstanding as Haig. Reiter estimated that there was a bloodline mutation or some other unknown reason. Tucker had really picked up a treasure to be able to lead such a horse back then. Of course, this was under the premise that Haig could help the territory increase the bloodline of the horses in the horse farm.

No matter how outstanding the bloodline of an ordinary horse was, its importance was greatly reduced.

After all, no matter how good the horses were, they could not compare to the Magical Beasts. Only when there were enough of them to form a large scale advantage would they be of great help to the territory. “If there’s a chance this time, I’ll pay attention in Moonlight City and see if I can find a high-quality horse.”

However, Reiter understood that the possibility was not high. Even if there were, the small nobles would only take care of themselves and could not bear to trade them.

At the very least, he had to exchange for rare items of the same value. Time passed.

The scenery along the way was mostly plains and scattered shrubs. Reiter felt a little bored.

It was almost evening, and the sun was setting again.
