Chapter 34 Gold and Red in the Manor

In Rylei’s line of sight, a tall and powerful man walked over. He looked a few years younger than his father.

“Oh, look who’s here! He’s calm and familiar, just like my father when he retired. I heard from Rylei that the lord of Young Eagle Town will return soon. Are you Reiter Green?” Gary came to three meters away, dismounted, and walked forward personally. He revealed a surprised and intimate expression. “Nice to meet you. I’m the lord of Dama Town, Gary Denton.”

Seeing the black-hoofed horse approach, the commoners of Dama Town, who were near the caravan, dispersed. They kept a respectful distance from their lord.

Reiter was not surprised that Gary had exposed his identity right away. He maintained a polite smile and said, “That’s right. I’m the lord of Young Eagle Town. So, you’re Rocky’s son? I’ve heard a lot about your father. Back at the front line, although we weren’t in the same team, I heard about your father’s heroic deeds from others!”

“That would be a great honor!”

Gary’s eyes lit up and he stepped forward to shake Reiter’s hand and hug him warmly. Business praises were very useful to him, and he was very good at it.

Reiter smiled and spread his arms ceremoniously, briefly touching the other party’s shoulder. As a man of two lifetimes, he could handle all kinds of situations with ease.

“My father often talked to me about his deeds on the battlefield. A few years ago, he even said that he liked to eat the seafood of Sun Lake the most. Hmm? I can smell it. It’s the strong smell of Sun Lake!” Gary sniffed and walked to the first carriage enthusiastically. He seemed to really like it and did not take his eyes off it. He even patted a few golden-wrapped boxes.

“This must be the aquatic product of Sun Lake. It should be… the Giant Pincer Crab. Its crab roe is delicious!” Gary raised his eyebrows and praised.

Reiter could not tell if Baron Gary was being sincere or just being polite. He deliberated for a moment and said casually, “What a pity. We didn’t bring much aquatic products this time. However, as a gift for our first meeting, I can make the decision to give these boxes of high-quality aquatic products to Baron Gary.” He called out in a firm tone, “Tucker! When you bring your men to the manor later, give these boxes of aquatic products to Baron Gary.”

Since they were friendly neighbors of Young Eagle Town, Reiter did not mind building a good relationship. How much was some aquatic products worth?

Seeing that this feudal lord of Young Eagle Town seemed easy to deal with, Gary’s eyes revealed a hint of joy, which was well concealed.

They chatted along the way. When they arrived at the manor, Reiter and Baron Gary were already quite familiar with each other. At least on the surface, they were not distant at all. He observed the manor here. The Battle Fortress and the Deep Rock Castle inside were similar. They were both on flat ground, not high mountains and dangerous places.

However, compared to the Deep Rock Castle, there were two more sub-fortresses in the Battle Fortress, which were connected to the other two sub-fortresses. The four sub-fortresses surrounded a square space.

A pale yellow path made of Rock Iron Wood led straight from the entrance of the manor to the Battle Fortress, dividing the flowers and plants on both sides into two unique scenic spots. On one side were golden fragrant flowers, and on the other was a sea of red flowers. Gold and red, the two main colors of the canyon defense line’s battle flag. Reiter did not expect to see such a design in someone else’s manor.

A servant came forward personally and took the reins of the horse.

Reiter led his two sons into the Battle Fortress with Gary.

“I have to say, Sir Reiter, you and I are fated!”

A long table large enough to seat twenty people was spread out on the exquisitely wide red carpet. Reiter and Baron Gary sat down facing each other.

“Oh? Why do you say that?” Reiter had not even sat down properly when he heard the strange words.

“Our names have the same pronunciation. Like you, my father fought hard at the canyon defense line. Besides, our territories aren’t too far apart.” Gary tried his best to say that the two of them were very close. Then, he slapped the table. “Look at my memory. Since Sir Reiter gave me a meeting gift, I have something to give!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Gary hurried upstairs. Not long after, Gary came down again and pushed a bottle of Boiling Potion to Reiter’s table.

The flame-colored liquid swayed. After drinking it, it would increase the combat aura cultivation of a low-level knight to a certain extent.

“There were quite a number of knights in Sir Reiter’s territory, so you definitely had a need for Boiling Potions. This bottle is my first meeting gift. Even if you don’t need it, it’ll be very beneficial for Tucker to take it.” Gary smiled. The maid behind him walked around in an extremely short white dress and walked to Reiter’s side to make tea.

A strong perfume lingered, completely covering the fragrance of the tea.

Reiter actually wasn’t used to it. He preferred a light fragrance, preferably a natural one. He knocked on the table with a hesitant expression. “Sir Gary, it’s too expensive to give a bottle of Boiling potion as a greeting gift.” Reiter’s reaction made the smile on Gary’s face widen. This was the effect he wanted! He had to give a favor to Reiter so that he could make a request later. After all, dealing with the Fire-feathered Eagle was not a small matter. To get straight to the point or to gain something without doing anything, the effect would definitely not be ideal.

The two flying magic beasts were not a simple opponent. Without the help of a mage, the two knights would definitely have a hard time dealing with them.

Facing flying Magical Beasts that relied purely on hand-to-hand combat was still fine. When Magical Beasts attacked, they might find an opportunity to counterattack. However, encountering a flying magical beast that knew long-range magic was simply the most troublesome thing for a knight. This was far more troublesome than fighting against mage. After all, mages generally fought on land. Once they started fighting, there was a chance that they could hit their opponents. But they could only dodge the enemies in the sky.

He was really a living target!

Although using bows and arrows to counterattack was also a method, the combat aura of a low-level knight would quickly lose its power when it left the body. Only by holding a weapon and continuously instilling it could the power of combat aura be activated. Therefore, using a bow and arrow not only had a high requirement for archery, but it was also not much of a threat to magical beasts.

Only by becoming an earth knight could he easily leap dozens of meters. Additionally, the combat aura of an earth knight was more condensed. It could cling to a bow and arrow without dispersing.

As long as one’s archery skills were good, they would be able to deal considerable damage to flying magical beasts.

Sensing that there was something wrong with the way Gary looked at him, as if he was looking at something hot, Reiter thought for a moment and understood that it was definitely about the Fire-feathered Eagle. He smiled and unceremoniously placed the Boiling Potion in Tucker’s palm. The latter didn’t think too much about it. He only saw his father give him a bottle of Boiling Potion. His mouth widened in joy.

Seeing that the Baron of Young Eagle Town had accepted the potion, a satisfied smile appeared on Gary’s face.

Just as he was about to say his next words, Reiter’s reaction was even faster than Gary’s. “The value of the Boiling Potion far exceeds a little seafood from Sun Lake. As an exchange of friendship between Young Eagle Town and Dama Town, at the very least, they couldn’t be too different from each other, right? “Coincidentally, on the way here, we encountered a Flame Lion that obstructed our path to Dama Town. Its corpse was also brought along. I think, as my personal gift, it can’t be any better!” The smile on Reiter’s face did not change as he gently took a sip of tea.

“This…” Gary wanted to say something but stopped. His heart sank.

Reiter’s explanation was too perfect. He couldn’t find a reason to continue on this topic.

If he continued to insist, his intentions would be too obvious.
