Early the next morning, in the backyard of Rose Manor.

Trisley sat on the stone steps of the hallway, one hand clasped around her knees and the other on her chin, her pale blue eyes staring at Victor not far away.

Wearing only a pair of knee-length breeches and topless, Victor practiced his forging on the grass, his movements stretched and coherent, as if carefully sculpted muscle strips emerged, full of strength and coordination.

After practicing the entire basic forging method twice, Victor let out a long breath, finished today's morning exercise, and turned to walk towards Trisley, who was waiting beside him.

The sun shone on his body, shining a little on the beads of sweat on his skin, and Tracery's snow-white and beautiful face suddenly flew two faint reds, and she quickly stood up, bent down and picked up the sheep towel on the edge of the barrel, dipped it in warm water in the barrel, rubbed it twice, wrung it out, and wiped Victor's body carefully and gently.

"Why do you sweat?"

Like a sixteen-year-old girl, the Raging Wave Knight stood on tiptoe, his eyes half-closed, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and while wiping Victor's face, he tried to distract him with the topic to hide his inner shame.

Victor is well aware of Trisley's shy and shy personality, and secretly teases her for fun, but with the maids of Rose Manor around, if she annoys Trisley, she will only throw off the towel and turn around and leave, then she will not enjoy her gentle service.

"Sweating is a change in the blood law common to humans and elves, for mortals, sweating can not only reduce body temperature, but also expel waste products from the body, which is closely related to the change of the water element, through the replenishment of water, the formation of internal and external circulation, a bit similar to the interaction of the void element of high-level knights. ”

Victor turned his body and asked Trisley to wipe his back, and said with great interest, "I have mastered the talent of surge, and my body passively interacts with the void water element, so I don't need to sweat anymore. My forging method is specially designed for ordinary soldiers, and it is only one part of this forging method to remove waste products from the body through sweating, replenish water and medicines, repair the loss of internal organs, and enhance vitality...... When I have perfected the forging method, ordinary soldiers should be able to break through their own limits and improve their physical fitness twice as much as ordinary people after long-term practice...... Of course, the forging method must also be combined with medicine and food to be perfect...... I ask that the corresponding forging potion must be cheap, and it can be widely promoted, so that the cost of training an elite soldier can be controlled within 400 gold soles. ”

"Honey, you're amazing. Trisley put on Victor's shirt, her eyes adoring, and her face flushed.

Her shy demeanor was particularly cute, and Victor lowered his head and kissed her pink little mouth quickly. Tracery was surprisingly lifeless, took Victor's arm, and said softly:

"Yesterday afternoon, Nicole and Nelson went back to Randall to get their ...... I told her to go back. ”

“......” Victor was stunned. Trisley is cold and arrogant on the outside, shy and gentle on the inside, and jealous. Last night, she was afraid that Sophia would continue to occupy Victor, so she desperately rushed into the reception room and interrupted Victor's conversation with Sophia. If it weren't for Victor's love for Victor, Trisley would never have been able to do such a thing.

However, Victor didn't expect that she actually drove Nicole away.

Is this a teacher-student turn?

Victor was a little displeased, but after all, it was for him that Trisley drove away her most proud student. He suddenly realized that he had no position to be angry with Trisley, and a wave of weakness ensued, and he wondered how to soothe the big vinegar jar Nicole after returning to Randall's collar to bridge the gap between their master and apprentice.

...... Otherwise, there will never be peace in your backyard!

Aware of her sweetheart's troubles, Trisley took him by the arm and walked deeper into the courtyard, saying in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Nicole and I have agreed that I will go to the kite castle and take it...... Fertility potion, she stays with you. Nicole has gone through the trials of life and death, disturbed the elemental sea, and has the opportunity to become a half-golden knight of the Rags...... And I especially need the Iris Castle's Inoculating Elixir. We heard Sylvia say that after taking the inoculation potion, she can't use Dou Qi for 4 years, and she can't....can'...... In short, you should stay with me more now, and when I come back from the kite, don't come to me...... Well, you can't ignore me either. ”

So that's what happened...... Victor's tangled mood suddenly relaxed, and he said happily: "Why don't you let Nicole go to the kite castle too?"

"Hmph! August offered 400,000 gold soles, and said that the cost of the inoculation potion was definitely more than that. ”

Tracey pursed her pink little mouth, kicked off the lawn with her high heels, and then sighed again: "I take the inoculation potion, and the centaur hills are one less high-ranking knight...... Neither in wealth nor in the Silver Knight, we are no match for August...... It's been almost seven years since the ant plague, and I don't know when the next wave of ant plagues will break out?"

"Within eight years, it's definitely going to explode. Victor nodded, took Trisley's soft little hand, and said with a clear gaze: "The three walls have been completed, just wait for those monsters to appear, let them learn my extraordinary archery skills." ”

Trisley smiled lightly, "It's really like a dream, my partner is actually a Legendary-level Highness...... You and Sylvia each defend a high wall, and the other Silver Knights work together to defend the remaining high walls, and even if the number of ant tides triples, they won't even want to set foot in the Centaur Hills!"

Victor smiled and said: "We don't have much trouble dealing with the ant plague, but we can't let Ant-Man stumble our high-level knights in the Centaur hills, there are still many challenges in the Southern Continent that require the power of high-level knights." ”

Trisley nodded and said, "Don't worry." In another 4 years, the Southern Fortress will be the first to be completed. All we need is 4,000 soldiers, with the help of the fort's ballistas and trebuchets, to keep the ant tide at bay. At present, the permanent population of Renma Hill is close to 800,000, and 190,000 young and strong workers are employed, and we have transferred more than 40,000 people to start the construction of the central and northern forts, which are expected to be completed in 10 years, and if the rock bricks can be used, the construction period can be advanced. ”

Victor turned his head and asked in surprise, "With so many young men to build a fortress, what about the port?"

Trisley straightened her hair, the corners of her mouth turned up in a noticeable arc, and said, "The filling of the port has been completed, and the trestle bridge protrudes 30 meters above the river to withstand the test of last year's flood. For the rest of the construction, 7,000 craftsmen were enough to do it. It is estimated that within 15 years, we will have one port, four docks, and twenty docks...... Won't you be disappointed that the family's high-ranking female knights don't need to take turns guarding Rose Harbor now?"

Victor didn't care about Trisley's little joy, and frowned and said, "Fifteen years later, we can only build a battleship? It's too long......"

Tracery asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I hope that the warships of the Centaur Hills will enter Lake Fes within ten years and deter the Neowest family. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Borui will build ports and warships in the Rand Empire. Victor shook his head and asked, "How is the port of the Augustian family doing now, and when will their warship be launched?"

“...... It's pretty much the same as we planned. Trisley thought for a moment and said: "The fifteen-year plan is not arbitrary, at that time, our vassal children and tenant children have grown up, the number of vassal soldiers will exceed 30,000, the tenant children will replace those useless mercenary soldiers, the size of the mercenary army is close to 150,000, the strength of the family has reached its peak, and the war potential of the centaur hills has been greatly improved...... By the way, our War Beast Legion won't take shape until 20 years from now, and it's a bottomless pit now, and the budget of 500,000 gold soles is almost exhausted. Embiter was so anxious about the family's financial problems that he couldn't sleep, and his whole body was fat...... If you suddenly have to adjust your plans, you have to have money...... I suspect that as soon as you give me advice, Embiter will immediately ask you to borrow money. ”

Dead fatty, I actually set my sights on the gift money that Lord Neville gave me...... Victor sneered and said with a dry smile: "I'm not the guardian of the Centaur Hills now, and I want to play for a while...... When the king got married, I tried to persuade the Kite Castle to get the Auguste family to adjust their strategic deployment and form warships as soon as possible to control the waters of Lake Fez. After a pause, he changed the topic and said, "My dear, if you take the Fertility Potion, you will lose the power of the Silver Knight. Who will keep you safe while in Blinor City?"

Trisley pursed her lips and snorted, "I want Audair to accompany me, and Sylvia doesn't allow the family's high-ranking female knights to go to Blinor City in advance." She picked Bruce to walk with me. ”

“......” Victor was silent for two seconds and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"At the end of the month. ”

Victor counted the time and said, "I'm just about to send Nelson to the Kite Castle to teach a set of Psychic Warrior forging techniques. That guy doesn't have a lot of brains, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the kite castle's methods. You postpone it for fifteen days and help me take care of him...... When Edward and Anna's wedding celebration is over, we'll go back to the Centaur Hills together. ”

"Good. Trisley nodded in agreement, hesitated, and added, "The Chebman family has reconciled with the royal family...... Kite Castle took away the apprentice knights of the Copper City, and the Count of Chebman encouraged several families in the south to toss for a while, and the Kite Castle sent a messenger to meet the Count of Chipman, expressing his support for the Chebman family to rule the south, and the removal of the apprentice knights of the Solim family was to clear the way for Chipman to enter the Copper City...... They deliberately spread the news to the centaur hills...... You should know their intentions. ”

The southern border of Gambis is the core link of the southern expansion strategy of the Kite Castle, and if it were not for the factor of His Royal Highness Randall, the Kite Castle might have broken up the power of the Copper City bloodline family, but Count Chebman used Victor's momentum to prompt the Kite Castle to choose to compromise. The two sides have reached a consensus, then there is nothing to do with Victor.

In fact, Victor never intended to touch the southern border of the kingdom, the Randall family did not have the strength to swallow elephants with snakes at all, and if they really put their hands into the copper city, they would only be involved in the center of the vortex, and it would be difficult to get out, and they could not eat half a mouthful of meat, and they were directly held above their heads by the southern lord and used as a mascot.

Ports, canals, farmland and pastures, Mithril, Tser, iron, purple cane forests, these resources, Randall has everything. Victor is not a rare kingdom in the south, he only cares about Gillian alone.

Judging from the current situation, Gillian may be the first intimate partner to leave Victor on her own initiative.

Trisley's eyes were full of worry and pity, and although she was jealous, she felt even more sorry for her lover.

Victor stretched out his finger and hooked her chin, laughing, "Baby, you're thinking too much, I'm fine." ”

Four days later, Sophia left Rose Manor and returned to Blinor. Victor finally breathed a sigh of relief, surrounded by three high-ranking female knights, and he only felt tired.

The nature of a high-ranking knight is a bit like that of a dragon, and even the closest relatives do not live under the same roof for a long time. Trisley has followed Sylvia since she was a child, acting as her companion and guardian knight, and the two of them have no problem getting along. But this little vinegar jar doesn't look at Sophia right, and inevitably sneers at the Marquess of Wimbledon.

How can Sophia be a fuel-efficient lamp?

The two female knights of the angry waves fought openly and secretly, and the focus was all on His Highness Randall. From time to time, Sylvia joins in the fun...... Victor put out the fire everywhere, his head was twice bigger, and he secretly swore that he would never let his high-ranking female knight lover live in the lord's mansion of Silvermoon Manor at the same time.

If you want to blame Sylvia, she doesn't have the consciousness of a housemother at all, but if you think about it, the high-ranking knights really don't have a hierarchical family concept. If the silver female knight travels to the ancient family of the earth, who dares to play prestige with them and talk about the rules, she will be slapped to death directly.

It can only be said that Victor has not yet learned how to handle a relationship with a transcendent knight partner. But why does His Highness Randall need to be bound by the principle of companionship?

The day after Sophia left Centaur Hills, Victor and Priest Dain set out on a journey back to Randall.

Seven days later, in the evening, Victor stopped at the junction of Randall's and the Duke of York, jumped off his horse, and said to Dane:

"I'm going to go to the Hibiscus Manor on my own. You can bring all the Caligula back. ”

The senior priest looked up at the dim sky, and said dumbfounded: "At this time, you secretly ran alone to have a tryst with Miss Chebman......?

"Can't Your Highness have sincere love?" Victor glanced at Dane with disdain.

"It's not that you can't have ...... Yes, there is no such thing at all. Dane shook his head, looked at Victor suspiciously, and asked, "You don't want to coerce Miss Chebman, do you?"

Victor was furious and shouted, "How can I coerce a female knight of the Silver Order? ”

"And what do you want to do?"

Victor was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how it turns out, but I, as Gillian's man, have to take the initiative to fight for it, so that neither I nor her have any regrets." ”
