“From today onwards, we are neighbors. So please guide me,” said Ronald with a smile.

“Neighbor, that’s a strange word.” Blake didn’t know whether to be excited or frustrated.

Anyway, it was a fact that Ronald had settled down in Black Forest, and Blake was powerless to change that fact. But at the same time, Ronald’s presence here gave Blake some confidence.

If some ignorant Mages were to come here and abuse their power, and it happened to be those Mages that Blake could not defeat, he could ask Ronald to help.

Relatively speaking, there were advantages and disadvantages, and it wasn’t entirely his loss.

“Got to go,” said Ronald, waving his hand and taking one last look at Blake who was still on the floor.

He turned around and walked straight into the dim corridor ahead. At the same time, Sword Demon and Gina also bade their goodbyes. They followed Ronald and gradually left the castle step by step, heading towards Ronald’s territory.

Watching Ronald leave, Blake’s face was full of emotions. He shook his head and sighed: “Times have changed. I can’t see through things anymore.”

“Lord Blake is right.” Alpha and Delta quickly smiled and flattered him.

“You two!” Instantly, the veins on Blake’s forehead bulged as he stared at the two of them and roared.

“It was you two who betrayed me earlier. Do you think I didn’t hear your fawning words?”

“Uh!” Both of them were stunned and quickly explained.

“Lord Blake, that was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!

“That’s right. We saw that the guy was too strong, so we tried to accept a compromise so that you could survive. If we still angered the other party, it would be troublesome.” The two’s faces flushed red as they explained.

Hearing that, Blake’s expression changed a little. Although he didn’t think that they were telling the truth, at least, that was what they said on the surface.

“I have a solemn announcement to make.” Blake said with a serious expression. “From now on, you are not allowed to enter his territory without permission. Otherwise, even I can’t save you!”

“Don’t worry, Lord Blake. We will never step into his territory.” Alpha and Delta quickly nodded and said seriously.

Naturally, the two of them were well aware of Ronald’s terrifying strength. His temper was also a little strange. He could have killed Blake, but instead of attacking, he turned around and pulled the dying Blake back from the brink of death.

If he wanted to seize the territory here, he could have killed Blake. However, Ronald did not do so. Instead, he cured Blake and took half the territory.

Who knew he was thinking? Even if they racked their brains, they could not think of an answer.

In fact, Ronald only allowed Blake and the others to live here because he was too bored. He would be really lonely if he was left alone in this huge Black Forest.

Blake still did not know the value of his existence, which was only to add some vitality to the place. If he knew, he would probably vomit blood and faint again.

“Him being our neighbor isn’t without its benefits. At the very least, when we encounter powerful enemies and even we can’t shake them, we can still be safe and sound with him around,” Blake said emotionally, his tone full of confidence.

“Lord Blake is right. Now, let’s go and help him build the castle so that he can have a good impression of us. This way, even if we’re in trouble, he won’t stand by and do nothing.”

“Right, right, right,” suggested Alpha and Delta, the two fence sitters.

“I want to help him build the castle too,” Blake uncharacteristically said.

All along, he had always been very arrogant and condescending in the eyes of others. However, after experiencing today’s near-death experience, it was as if his personality had changed in an instant. He no longer had his usual arrogant demeanor, and instead had a bit more compassion.

This change even caused Alpha and Delta to look at each other. They were amazed that things were changing in the good direction.

At this moment, Blake deserved the title of the king of the continent!

A week later, in the dead silence of Black Forest, a large castle had been built. It was about 30 meters tall and reached the clouds. A dense fog lingered around the castle. The environment here was exceptionally eerie. Occasionally, a few bats would fly over and emit sounds that made one’s scalp go numb and heart tremble.

Inside the castle, Ronald sat on the sofa in the hall. He squinted and sensed the quiet atmosphere. His body and mind were cleansed. The silent atmosphere could charm one.

Ronald was already very strong, but what he lacked was the heart of a strong person. After going through all sorts of baptisms, his mental state could better integrate into the terrifying strength of his current body.

“My lord, dinner is ready,” Gina was wearing a white dress like a maid. She floated in the air using her wind element power, looking adorable and attractive.

When Ronald opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of Gina’s alluring figure. His body reacted instinctively.

“My lord?” Gina looked at Ronald in confusion. He was clearly awake, but why didn’t he hear her?

Gina blinked her big eyes and put on a confused look, which made her look even more cute. Her legs were slender and long, looking extra attractive as she floated in the air.

“Ahem.” Ronald coughed dryly and nodded. “Let’s go have dinner.”

“Please, my lord.” Gina smiled, her red lips moving.

Her pink hair drifted and curled behind her back. Her white dress revealed her fair shoulders, slender waist, and voluptuous figure. She was extremely beautiful.

On top of her head was a small hat with a black and pink exterior. It matched her delicate and pretty face.

Ronald was instantly mesmerized, his eyes fixed on Gina.

Sensing the strange look in Ronald’s eyes, a rare blush appeared on Gina’s pretty face. She was flustered and at a loss for what to do. She rubbed the hem of her shirt with both hands and didn’t say anything.

The room fell into silence. Gina didn’t know what to do.

“M-My lord.” Gina looked at Ronald with her beautiful eyes. Her red lips moved slightly as she tried to speak again. At the same time, a warm object blocked her red lips.

“Huh?” Gina’s beautiful eyes widened. Before she could react, even her breathing became a little messy.

A minute later, Ronald looked at the blushing Gina and smiled. “Gina.”

“Yes.” Gina felt like her head was about to explode. Blood rushed to her head, causing her mind to be confused. She had no idea what was happening.

“It’s delicious.” Ronald tapped the corner of his mouth with his fingertip. The lingering fragrance made him smile.

At that moment, Gina’s face turned even redder. She wished she could bury her head in her chest like a little girl. She was extremely shy and did not dare to look directly into Ronald’s eyes.

The entire interior of the castle was illuminated by candlelight, which was rather weak. However, the occasional breeze from the window would also cause the flames to flutter.

Under the light of the fire, clothes appeared one after another on the carpet in a disorderly manner. The two of them seemed to have engaged in a huge battle. The huge castle was in chaos while Sword Demon was practicing his swordsmanship outside the castle. He had no idea what was happening.

In other words, there were only two people in the castle doing something indescribable. From the house to the hall, there was an inexplicable smell in the air that disappeared with the wind. An hour later, Gina’s face was flushed. Her slender arms were wrapped around Ronald, and her delicate face was leaning against his chest. She could feel his heartbeat. What was hard for her to believe was that she had taken the initiative just now.

“You’re too anxious, my lord. I’m still a…” Gina shook her head at this thought.

Looking at the bright red stain on the bed sheet, Ronald stroked Gina’s pink hair with both hands as if she were an obedient kitten.

Such times are the true joy of life.

Ronald thought to himself with a smile on his face. Those so-called days of fighting and killing were nowhere as wonderful as his life now. With the company of a beauty, follower to order around, and a huge castle to rest, this was life!
