Chapter 37 - Confession

Chapter 37 Confession

The two of them continued to talk about the future cooperation of the territory for half an afternoon. In between, they chatted about some casual topics to liven up the atmosphere. Unknowingly, it was close to evening again.

Ga!

Ga!

Scattered crows hung from a few old trees and branches, sending off the setting sun. A few clouds floated on the dome, and they would also melt into the night.

Kerina and Rylei walked behind Reiter and Gary, a distance of nearly ten meters. It was rare that Rylei did not participate in too many specific matters during this caravan trip.

The feudal lord of Young Eagle Town led the team and led everything legitimately. Moreover, he also believed that his father was more capable than him, had a far-sighted vision, and had a far-reaching vision.

From his father’s return until now, there was clearly only one more Grade 2 mage in the territory. However, the actual changes in the territory far exceeded the benefits brought by ordinary Grade 2 mage.

Furnace Meditation Technique, Breathing Technique and Combat Technique in Antiques, Snow Elf Nina… Any one of them would probably cause quite a stir outside, Rylei thought to himself.

Would the territories have changed if his father was not around? he asked himself. Not likely.

Other than meditation techniques, he did not know when he would be able to obtain the other things that clearly existed in his territory. In fact, some things might never appear. Especially the snow elf, it might have left them.

Comparing the two situations, he did not understand, but he felt that it was impressive.

There were still many things to learn.

Modesty makes progress, pride makes laggards.

In his growing years, these words seemed to have fused into his blood and carved into the growth rings of his torso.

“Rylei, you said that you’ve already become a late-stage Grade 1 Mage. Your cultivation speed is much faster than I imagined. When do you think you can break through to Grade 2?” There was a long silence, and then Kerina found a topic to talk about. She looked at Rylei. A few seconds passed, but he showed no signs of turning his head to reply. It was as if he had turned a deaf ear.

“Rylei? What are you thinking about?” Kerina held her hand in front of Rylei’s eyes and waved it.

Rylei came back to his senses, blinked and looked at Kerina’s puffed-up cheeks. He smiled embarrassedly. “Sorry, I was attracted by the scenery of Dama Town. Look at the sunset. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

“Hmph, how is that possible? Your pupils were dilated just now and you didn’t pay attention to the sky at all.” Kerina made a disgruntled noise and turned her head away.

However, she couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Rylei from the corner of her eye. The smile on his lips was especially attractive under the golden sunset.

They had only spent half the afternoon together today, but her fondness for Rylei had long sprouted. In Rylei, she could feel a constant calmness, as if nothing could stump him. Moreover, his clean and honest character was completely different from most of the nobles she knew.

Under normal circumstances, he was humble and reserved, but from time to time, he would reveal a temperament of wisdom. It was neither too much nor too little, but it struck her heart just right.

It was as if there was endless magic power that was soul-stirring.

Perhaps, this was because she had taken a liking to him? She held her breath and took out an exquisite glass bottle from the small compartment hidden at her waist.

“Here, this is a gift for you. I wanted to give you something better. Hmph, but you were actually distracted, so I gave you the worst one,” Kerina said in a clear voice.

Rylei looked at the exquisite blue ancient-shaped glass bottle in surprise. The bottle cap was made of countless fine particles, which seemed to be glued together. The interior was tightly sealed, but there was an emerald-green liquid flowing inside. Under the light, it shone with a sparkling luster, making it look exceptionally beautiful.

He held it in his hand and looked at it for a while before asking, “What is this?”

“Perfume!”

“You made it yourself?”

“Of course, of course… not, I bought it from a random shop in the town.” Kerina blushed and almost let it slip.

“Oh, that’s a pretty good gift too. I’ll keep it well, Miss Kerina.” Rylei saw through it but didn’t say anything. Instead, he found it rather cute. Putting the perfume bottle into his bag, he said, “If there’s a chance next time, I hope that Miss Kerina will come to my territory. I’ll personally give you a gift in return.”

“Is that so? It just so happens that I plan to go out to play next spring. Why don’t I go to Young Eagle Town? What do you think?” Kerina was pleasantly surprised. She rolled her eyes and said playfully.

Rylei shrugged, indicating that there was no problem.

Gary heard the conversation between his daughter and Rylei. However, he had no intention of stopping her. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Since Baron Reiter had successfully returned and both parties were well-matched in social status, he was happy to see anything happen. He vaguely sensed that Rylei had invited his daughter to Young Eagle Town as a guest.

Their relationship seemed to have improved.

Gary’s eyes flashed as he caught a fleeting opportunity.

“Sigh.” He sighed deeply.

Reiter’s heart skipped a beat. Gary’s sudden abnormal behavior seemed to be about to get to the point at this time.

“Sir Gary, why are you sighing all of a sudden?” Reiter asked, pretending not to know.

Gary’s expression seemed to be conflicted.

After hesitating for a moment, he sincerely requested, “Sir Reiter, my territory has recently been attacked by the Fire-feathered Eagles. It’s really difficult for me to deal with it alone. I urgently need your help.”

Reiter, who had already expected this, naturally revealed a surprised expression, and his face became solemn. “Fire-feathered Eagles? Class 2 flying Magical Beasts aren’t easy to deal with. How many of them are there?”

“Two, a male and a female eagle. They seem to be a pair. They have already killed more than ten subjects in my territory and destroyed a large amount of my farmland.” Gary clenched his fists unwillingly. He looked at Reiter with a gaze filled with hope.

After an afternoon of interaction, this feudal lord of Young Eagle Town was not a simple person. A person who was promoted from the battlefield and escaped unscathed could not have a problem with his brain.

He had been hoping for a fluke at the beginning. Facing such a person, the most effective way was to be honest and cooperate amicably.

Reiter narrowed his eyes slightly and did not respond immediately. Instead, he revealed a contemplative expression.

Seeing that there was no reply for a long time, a hint of hesitation flashed across Gary’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. “I have two bottles of Moonlight Potion here. Take it as the reward for Sir Reiter’s help in chasing away the Fire-feathered Eagles!” With the results from the simulator, Reiter did not continue to increase the reward. With two more bottles of Moonlight Potion, the cultivation effect would rise to another level in the next real simulation.

After thinking for a while, he exhaled softly and pretended to have a lot of thoughts. “For the sake of our friendship, I agree to this! But let’s put the ugly words first. When my life is in danger, I think I’ll protect myself.”
