I don't know when the barren land on the northern outskirts of Highlandsa City has belonged to the territory of Count Surdak, and this large area of barren land from Oak Ridge in the south to the south to the southern end of Mount Paglos has been marked with the name of Count Surdak, but those who can notice these things are basically the nobles in Highlandsa City.

Now that the name 'Lord of Surdak' has spread almost throughout the province of Bena, no one will dwell on this little thing.

The Junior Knight Academy, located on Dorenval Avenue in the city of Highlandza, once again ushered in the annual spring semester, and every year at this time of year, the academy welcomes a large number of new students, little Peter wears a black robe, sitting on the railing opposite the entrance of the academy, very envious of the new students who can enter the academy.

He wasn't old enough to go to school, and Surdak was ready to take him through a wave of magical awakening rituals, and was now studying meditation and spiritual perception with Gen Gerald in the Hylantha Magic Guild.

Probably every boy has a knight's dream in his heart, little Peter hopes that he can be like his father, he is not interested in magicians, as long as he has time, he will run to the door of the knight's academy with his servants to watch the excitement, usually every day will still insist on morning exercises, he heard that his father will also practice tirelessly wielding swords and shields every day, and he is even more enthusiastic about this matter.

Little Peter has been in the city of Highlanza for half a year, and he was just a country kid in the village of Wall who had never seen the world, but now he has adapted to life in the city.

The servant stood aside, he was hired by Natasha in the village before Little Peter came to the city of Highlandsa, originally an honest hunter from the neighboring village, but unfortunately there were too few gray rock iguanas in the last two years, and he didn't make much money, and then after moving to Wall Village, he worked as a handyman in the village for a while, and also worked as a gardener for the house of Lord Surdak for a while.

Now he follows little Peter to the city of Highlandza, and follows him every day.

"Master, I heard that Lord Earl has won the battle in the White Forest Plane!" The servant said excitedly.

"Where did you hear that?" Little Peter turned his head and asked in surprise.

The servant pointed to the passers-by in the street and said to little Peter, "There is talk of it all over the street now, and it is said that there is a special report in the magical newspapers. ”

Little Peter was so excited that he jumped off the railing in the next second and walked briskly in the direction of the Enchanted Quarter, saying as he went, "So what are you waiting for, let's go buy a magical newspaper and ......"

The Knight Academy isn't too far from the Enchanted Quarter, but it's also three streets to cross.

"Peter!"

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind him.

Little Peter stopped in his tracks, then turned and threw himself at the man behind him.

"Father! Why did you come back all of a sudden? Little Peter asked silly.

Surdak held little Peter's armpits with both hands, lifted him up high, and said, "The fighting over there has been temporarily stopped, and with some free time, how is your grandmother's health, have you gone back to visit her recently?" ”

"I go back twice a month." Little Peter said triumphantly.

Surdak put little Peter in the saddle behind him, and then took the reins of the horse with his own hands, and walked back down the long street.

The house where Little Peter lives is in the Magic Quarter, and now Natasha lives there, taking care of Little Peter's diet and daily life.

"I came this time to bring her to the city, do you want to go back with me?" Surdak asked Little Peter.

Without thinking, Little Peter replied, "Yes! ”

Surdak said, "But you have to ride in a carriage......"

……

This winter, old Sheila's health has become a little worse, and even when she lies by the fireplace, some parts of her body feel sore with the stove on her back.

She was lost in the lake when she heard the familiar sound of light footsteps, and then she woke up from her light sleep.

She usually didn't dare to fall asleep, for fear that after she really fell asleep, she would never wake up again, she hadn't seen Peter grow up smoothly, and she wanted to watch him start a family with her own eyes.

She knew the footsteps well, and her ears were much better than those eyes that were covered with a layer of white mist.

"Peter, didn't you just come back last week, why did you come back so quickly, how difficult the road is on Oak Ridge in winter, are you being bullied over there?" Old Sheila asked in the direction of the door.

Little Peter just walked into the living room, threw off his thick leather boots, changed into fluffy slippers and ran quickly to the fireplace, and little Peter brought a chill from the outside.

"No, grandma, my father is back, and this time I'm going to pick you up and go to the city for a while." Little Peter explained his intentions in one go.

Surdak followed and walked into the living room.

Old Sheila's physical condition has not been good, many of the diseases that fell when she was young are now getting more and more serious, Surdak can't help her implant the magic patterns, her body can't bear those magic patterns at all, so she can only keep them like this.

Every time Surdak returned, he would use the Holy Light Technique to help old Sheila regulate her body.

But since he became a plane lord, he has come back less and less often, and the number of such treatments has become even less.

"You're back!" Old Sheila coped casually.

Although I was full of gratitude to the man in front of me, I couldn't say some words, and I couldn't even squeeze out a smile.

"When I come back this time, I still want to take you to Highlandsa City and live with Natasha and Peter, and the rented house there is big enough!" Surdak walked up to the recliner, crouched down, and put his hand on the knee of old Sheila.

As the power of a holy light fell, old Sheila suddenly felt a warmth welling up in her knees.

"I just want to stay here, I don't want to go anywhere." Old Sheila kept her eyes on Little Peter's face and said stubbornly.

"The Great Age of Genes"

Surdak looked at Peter, who was eating dried fruit from his plate, and said to him, "Peter, don't you come back once again and say hello to your friends?" ”

Little Peter threw the nuts back on the plate, got up again, and promised, "Well, I'll go to them, and I've got gifts for them." ”

After saying that, he hurried out, and only slowly withdrew his gaze when she watched Peter's figure disappear at the gate.

"I know what you're worried about, but with this, you won't have such concerns."

Surdak sat on the couch next to Sheila Sr. and placed a scroll of magical parchment in Sheila Sr.

"What is this?" Old Sheila asked with a puzzled expression.

Surdak smiled and said: "A statement on the inheritance of the territory, I will leave it to you, I will not read anything to you, you can find someone who knows the imperial language to read it for you, with it, you can rest assured that you can follow little Peter to live in the city of Herlanza for a while, I think in the next few years, little Peter will live there most of the time." ”

Old Sheila didn't look at the scroll again, but she reached out and clutched it tightly.

After being silent for a while, he asked, "I heard that you participated in the plane war?" ”

"Well, the Bailin plane, we won." Surdak replied.

After a moment of silence, old Sheila woke up as if she had slept for a while, and then said slowly: "Then you should pay more attention, I heard that you have a lot of land on the side of Luyinte City, if it is enough for you to operate, don't take any chances!" ”

Surdak sat there peeling nuts with a dagger, and casually agreed: "Well, when this war is over, there will probably be a period of rest." ”

Sheila Sr. closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Surdak sat on the sofa in the living room, peeling the nuts one by one, until he ate all the nuts on his plate, and then got up and went upstairs.
