(The last chapter of the three volumes, the next volume goes to the battlefield, thank you for your support!)

The neatly planned farms, lush crops, and herds of healthy and healthy livestock in the Night Manor didn't catch Chris's attention in the slightest, but when the mage saw the three statues standing in front of the villa under construction, he pounced in disbelief.

Fortunately, this one was not hostile and did not attack, so it did not cause a reaction from the Tree of Life, and the battle golem and gargoyle also stood in place and did not activate the attack mode.

"This ...... Donald, Master Donald, do you have alchemy devices in these three statues?"

Hearing the bronze mage's voice distorted, Donald didn't expect the other party to see the difference between his three puppets at a glance. You must know that the puppet structure embodied through the Book of Truth is so perfect that if you sit there without moving, it is basically like a real statue and a dead thing, and ordinary people will not pay much attention to it at all.

But now that people have discovered this secret, he has no choice but to tell the truth, and he will not fight his puppet idea as the other party's bronze pinnacle.

"Yes, these three are my alchemy puppets, and they are placed here to keep the manor safe while I leave!"

Obviously, Donald's estimation was a bit of a mistake, underestimating the appeal of this alchemical puppet to a veteran mage.

When Chris heard this, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

"Alchemy puppet...... An ancient alchemical creation that has been lost for thousands of years!"

"No, I must let this little mage let me study these puppets!"

Thinking about it, the bronze mage turned his head and his face stiffened, but his eyes were blazing and said to Donald:

"I want these three puppets, I want to use them for research, you can make a price!"

Compared with Donald's teacher Messer's advanced attainments in alchemy enchantment, Chris, a bronze peak mage, in addition to spell cultivation, likes to study the antiquities left over from the ancients, and this kind of ancient alchemy puppet is exactly to his taste.

Donald couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and said in embarrassment:

"Master Chris, these puppets are the most important defense force of my manor, and you know their value, if you take them to study, they will definitely not be repaired for a period of time......"

Before Donald could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the poker-faced mage.

"You don't have to worry about the safety of this manor! I will call Morgan and both of them to live here and study the alchemy puppet together, until you return, this manor and the people inside will not be harmed at all! Now, tell me your conditions!"

He didn't care about Chris's stiff tone, but Donald was surprised in his heart. The Morgan mage in Chris's mouth is one of the other two bronze peak mages in the clubhouse, both of which are existences that can be promoted to the silver rank with just one kick in the door, and are hot names in the North County mage world.

With these three masters sitting in the manor, there must not be any silverfish thieves who don't open their eyes to touch their moldy heads. If there really is an enemy who does not know whether to live or die to cause trouble, then the fate depends on his luck!

Donald believed that even if the enemy sent a Silver Rank, facing the wrath of the three Bronze Peak Mages, it was estimated that he would not be able to please anything.

"Since you said so, master, then you can take these three alchemy puppets to study casually, and just compensate for some elemental crystals!

With that, Donald lifted the three alchemy puppets and ordered them to cooperate with Chris's actions.

As soon as Chris was given temporary command of the three puppets, in addition to sending his mage pet, a red-billed Saker, to deliver messages to the other two mages, he immediately immersed himself in the study of them, and even Donald was the master.

It was originally prepared to add a strong defense force to the manor, and now there are three more bronze peak mages guarding it, ensuring the safety of the manor, and making Donald feel more at ease. He can leave now with peace of mind.

Before rushing to the battlefield, there was also a small episode.

"Take us, my lord, we want to follow him into battle!"

When William's two sons heard the news of the call-up order, they asked to follow their master into battle, despite their parents' opinions. As knightly squires, this is indeed their basic duty.

That being said, even though they all had a strength close to that of the mid-rank warriors of Black Iron, the difference in combat experience compared to the newly recruited manor guards was nothing more than combat experience. But the two little ones were still only children, the eldest was only fifteen years old, and Donald had to consider what their parents meant.

Donald didn't immediately veto the request of the two little ones, and sent for their parents to be brought in.

When William and his wife came to see Donald, they saw that their two sons were there, and they immediately guessed what was going on.

"Adult, the two children are not sensible, please don't blame them!"

Donald shook his head and smiled:

"William, your sons are very brave, and they want to follow me into battle, but considering that they are still too young, I have come to you to ask your husband and wife's opinion. ”

originally thought that their husband and wife would definitely not agree to their son and let these two little guys follow them to the battlefield. Unexpectedly, William said:

"As the attendants of the Lord, they should follow the Lordship to fight bravely and make achievements. Eli is still too young to go out and cause trouble for the adults. However, Eric still has more than two years to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, which is no worse than an adult, so let him follow the adults out to see it, and the adults also need someone to serve them!"

Even William's wife, Isabella, couldn't bear her son to leave, but she agreed with her husband's decision.

Seeing this, Donald could only respond: "Okay then! Eric and Clinton will follow me on the road, George and Bush you will stay to protect the safety of the manor, and you two will try to go out as much as possible after I leave, just take care of the manor construction and farm affairs, and don't worry about the rest! I am ready for next month's share of the moonshine wine, and there will be a mage to come to pick it up at that time!"

Although Donald is the heir to the hereditary nobility, since the fief was seized, he has lost the name and power to recruit private soldiers, and even if he participates in the battle, he can only participate alone, at most, because of the title of the knight family, he is allowed to bring two knight squires. If you take more than one of your subordinates, you can easily be convicted of the crime of secretly storing force with bad intentions, and you may be imprisoned before you go to war.

Of course, it is possible to choose to hire samurai, but the cost is too high, and you may end up betraying your employer because of your military exploits. Traditional mage followers can fight together, but they must be carefully selected, and once they are determined, they must be responsible to the end, and to become a mage, Donald has not found a follower whose talent and potential are worthy of his own attention.

Only going on the road is Donald's best choice at present, not to mention that with a summoning army in hand, it is already worth carrying a thousand-man army with him. So he didn't need any private soldiers or attendants at all.

However, since William wants his son to be exercised, it is better to bring Eric with him, and the young saplings will not be able to grow into towering trees without being exposed to wind and rain. Donald, who had great hopes for his two young squires, naturally would not fail to give this opportunity.

It had already been decided to take Eric with him, and Donald simply brought Clinton with him, so that he could easily deal with the trivial matters on the road, leaving only George and Bush to command the newly recruited manor guards.

After explaining everything, and without waiting for the other two mages to arrive, Donald put away the items prepared for him by the old butler, mounted three fine war horses, waved goodbye to everyone in the manor with Eric, and ran all the way to the front.
