"Welcome back, Griffith. Philip was accompanied by Baron Stone, and Andrew, who was left behind, gave Griffith a solid hug directly.

Holding a strong man who was almost 2 meters tall in his arms, Griffith instantly felt that he had become a weak child, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Brother Griffith!" a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy walked over quickly, his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Griffith's, and this one was naturally Griffith's younger brother Fidel.

"Fidel, you've grown so tall. Griffith offered Fidel a hug, and in his inherited memory, when he left Carolinburg, the third brother was only as tall as his chest, and now he was only a little shorter than Griffith.

"Brother Griffith, I heard you have a dragon, why didn't you see it?" After all, he was only half a child, and Fidel didn't bother to greet him, his eyes looked around as if he was looking for the young dragon that Griffith had hidden.

"It's so ostentatious here, I left the silver frost inside the castle. Griffith touched his brother's head with some indulgence, "I heard that you are learning the way of nature from Uncle Thorne, will you be transformed?"

Baron Stone had three sons, the eldest son Andrew was trained as a warrior since he was a child, the second son Griffith was sent to Thousand Sails City to learn magic, and the third son Fidel followed the path of a druid, an arrangement that was common in aristocratic families.

"Fidel was a beginner druid last year. Andrew interjected, with a hint of pride on his face.

"Why isn't it written in my letter?" Griffith is in Thousand Sails City, and he has to communicate with Carolinburg at least once every two months, and he doesn't have anything important on weekdays, and most of the content is about the length of the family. It stands to reason that Fidel has become an official druid, and this kind of good news should not be left untold to Griffith.

"It was Fidel who asked to hide it from you, and he said he wanted to surprise you. "Andrew put his arms around one brother in his left and right hands," we said as we walked. ”

"Hey, hey. Fidel smiled a little sheepishly.

Maybe it's because I've been stuck at level 1, so I'm embarrassed to say it. Griffith guessed.

"Why didn't you see your animal buddies?" Beginner druids, most of their combat power is on animal companions, and they are usually carried with them all year round.

"I don't have an animal companion yet. Fidel pouted.

"Why?" Griffith was genuinely taken aback, "Uncle Thorn should have plenty of suitable ones, right?"

The forest managed by Thorn was not far from Carolingburg, and in Griffith's mind, it was an open-air safari park. With Fidel's identity, how could he not even have an animal companion, you must know that Thorn met Hansen for the first time, but immediately promised him a bear cub.

"My father wanted to take Fidel to the Levant after I inherited the title. Andrew quickly explained.

"Divine Descendant?" Griffith's eyes widened, and he immediately covered his mouth.

The Levant, a country located on the west coast of the Falling Star Sea, is thousands of miles away from the Kingdom of Brittana, and it takes about 3 months for a sea ship to leave the port from the Thousand Sails City.

The Levant is also home to the headquarters of the Church of the Lion God, a medium-powered deity who was originally a demigod lion roaming the Levantine moors who was given the priesthood of courage in a turbulent year. In the next 10,000 years, the church of the Lion God also developed well, and among the hundreds of new gods that were born in the turbulent years, they were among the best.

Baron Stone escorted caravans to a caravan as a young man, and then spent two years as a mercenary in the Levant, and finally converted to the lion god as a matter of course.

The god of lions once left a bloodline before becoming a god, and the number of these god-descended lions is not much, it is said that the total number is less than thirty. However, every adult god-born lion has a strength comparable to that of a high-level warrior, and the Lion God Church can stand tall in the Levant, the land of four battles, because of these god-born lions.

If Fidel could get a god-born lion as an animal companion, it would definitely be a great joy, much stronger than the young dragon that Griffith raised.

But is it possible?

As a level 8 warrior, Stone has a high status in the Church of the Lion God, and in addition to the promotion of faith in the territory over the years, he has achieved remarkable results, and he can be regarded as the leader of the entire Diocese of Brittany. But a god-descended lion is still a good thing that is unimaginable.

"We'll talk about that in the evening. Andrew whispered.

The dinner was very rich, Griffith almost ate it, taking advantage of this small half a day, he became completely familiar with Andrew and Fidel, and no longer had the initial wariness and alienation - after all, he had inherited this body for three years, and Griffith had long regarded these people as real relatives in his heart.

In the evening, in Baron Stone's study, the father and son sat together, with some refreshments on the small round table in the middle.

"The village of Hydra is handed over to Griffith, I have no opinion. Andrew said. Originally, he insisted on giving Griffith a better territory, but after listening to Griffith's plan for Hydra, he no longer objected.

"I have just spoken to Sir Philip, and he is interested in your plans. Stone's words lifted Griffith's heart again.

At this moment, Griffith's most feared is surprises.

"Sir Philip is more optimistic about Hydra than you are, and he sees potential for it to be developed into a port. ”

Griffith felt that he was going to impress the marquis's eldest son.

"But the harbor is too small and not deep enough. Andrew stuffed a snack into his mouth and said, "I've been to that dock too, and I can only dock a few medium-sized cargo ships at most." ”

"It's not a big problem, the port is not good enough, and it can be widened and deepened with a little effort. ”

"It's not just a little effort. Griffith smiled bitterly, "The investment is too big, and if the population along the Chishui River wants to recover the cost, I don't know how long it will take." ”

"You can take your time. Stone slapped the table and scolded half-truthfully: "Don't play tricks in front of me, I really didn't think that you were going to get a siege crab for something?"

With Titania's level of technology, underwater construction is not easy. However, it is not completely impossible, for example, the level 3 magic "Breathing in Water", combined with the two level 5 magic "Fossil to Mud" and "Turning Mud to Stone", can be said to be very simple - except that the cost is too scary.

Digging with siege crabs is also a good method, but it is more time-consuming and requires a lot more food, but Griffith can afford it.

Griffith went to great lengths to ask Charlotte to help get a siege crab, and the main purpose was also to dredge the port and shipping lanes, and it was used to deal with Kyle Osborne, which was completely coincidental.

"Father, I was wrong. Griffith happily confessed, Andrew and Fidel couldn't help but laugh, and Stone's stiff face eased.

"In the future port, the tax collected by each ship will go to the Marquis, one-third will go to Andrew, and the rest will be yours. Obviously, Stone had already negotiated with Sir Philip, and naturally there was no room for Griffith to bargain with this distribution ratio.

"I don't need it. Andrew waved his hand.

"No, I can't. Stone glared at his eldest son, "You can not care about it yourself, but you must think about your future children and grandchildren." ”

In this generation, Andrew has a deep relationship with Griffiths and can not care. But after a generation or two, when the port develops, the money bag determines the strength, and once it evolves into a weak lord and a strong minister, it is never a good thing for the Carolingian family.

As the head of the family, Stone will never allow such hidden dangers to be left behind.
