Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Laurist returned to Maple Forest Manor after three months. It was almost June, and the weather was getting warmer.
Once he dismounted, Laurist went to see Old Steward Clancy and briefly explained the situation of Monolith Castle. After the walls were completed, Laurist ordered the stonemasons to carve the words "Monolith Castle" above the two gates, and the former castle was officially named Monolith Castle.
To the white-haired old steward, it was the greatest humiliation of the Norton Family to be attacked by Viscount Cummings. After hearing Laurist talk about how he had sent people to rob large amounts of resources and even burned Cummings' main castle, Red River Valley Manor, to ashes, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He wanted to drag Laurist to the forbidden area of the family to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Norton Family. He wanted the ancestors to know that the descendants of the Norton Family hadn't let down their ancestors, and had cleansed the family of their humiliation …
Laurist deeply regretted speaking out of turn. He could only helplessly push the old steward's wooden wheelchair to the Corpse Cave. He accompanied the old steward there for an hour before he was finally released.
When he returned to the courtyard of the main building, he found Steward Spear waiting for him at the door with a stack of animal skin papers in her hand. It was obvious that she wanted to report to Laurist everything that had happened in Maple Forest Manor in the past three months, big and small, as well as trivial matters.
Laurist waved his hand impatiently. "Can't you see that I've just rushed back? If there's anything, let's talk tomorrow. Right, Steward Spear, I brought back a lot of resources this time. Go find Sadekamp and hand them over to the warehouse. Also, don't disturb my rest today. Go inform Knight Pacico and Steward Cordan to come to my place for a meeting tomorrow. I want to understand the situation of the guards in the manor. Right, if Steward Cordan isn't here, go find him at Poplar Beach. I want to hear his report on the situation there. "
"Erm … Sir, do you want to invite Miss Bai Sha over as well …" Steward Spear stuttered.
"Why do you want to find her? A woman who can't do anything right … "Laurist's gaze sharpened." Did this b * tch stir up trouble in the villa again in the three months I wasn't around? "
"No …" Steward Spear explained hurriedly. "No, after Miss Bai Sha was taught a lesson by Sir, she's been hiding in her courtyard. Apart from accompanying the young master's illegitimate son, she's been practicing her swordsmanship diligently. I just, I just feel that it's not good for her to not participate in the clan affairs as a clan knight... "
I just feel that she's not participating. "" Spear "Spear, I want you to understand. Also, it's not that I don't want Miss Bai Sha to participate in the family's affairs, but raising my eldest brother's son is her greatest contribution to the family. As for what you said about her diligently practicing her swordsmanship, that's a good point. At least she still has self-awareness and knows that her skills are not good enough. "Do Seven" Spear She Do She Mean "Who Who"
"No, sir. I'll take my leave now." Steward Spear bowed and left.
…
Laurist pushed open the door of the guest room. Belluniac, who was reading a book by the window, immediately stood up and saluted him.
Laurist said, "Enough. Don't be so polite. Sit down and let me see how you've recovered. "
Belluniac sat down again and put his right hand on the small table beside him. Beelzebuk had always been curious about his lord's strange method of checking his pulse. However, he thought that checking the pulse was probably the latest medical method Laurist had learned in Morant City. He didn't doubt it except for the fact that it was magical.
Laurist glanced at the book Belluniac was reading. It was a biography about the legendary magic civilization called "A Sorcerer's Journey". It seemed to be one of the dozens of books he brought back last time.
"Sir, I'm sorry. I saw Elina holding some books and flipping through them, so I borrowed this one to read. After all, it's too boring to stay in the room all the time," Belluniac said.
"It's okay. Take it if you want. Don't lose it." Laurist took the book and put it on the small table as a pillow. He placed Belluniac's left hand on it and started checking his pulse.
"Your body is recovering well. You've already started training your warrior energy?" Laurist asked.
"Yes, Sir." Belluniac said, "Last month, I felt my body regaining strength, so I tried to train my warrior energy and found that it's back to normal. I've been training every day during this period. "
"Don't train that military warrior energy. Your body's foundation is still weak. Military warrior energy is used to dig out the potential of the human body. Your body's condition isn't suitable for it. You have the wood element warrior energy, right? "Laurist asked.
"Yes …" Belluniac nodded.
Laurist took out a high-level warrior energy scroll and put it on the table. "Train this in the future. I'll give you a year. I believe you can break through to the Gold rank."
Belluniac was stunned. He looked at the wood element high-level warrior energy scroll, Verdant Warrior Energy, and was overjoyed. "Sir, I, I, I …"
"I what? Excited? Take it and train it well. This wood element Verdant Warrior Energy is said to be very effective in healing and recovering energy. I think it's suitable for your situation. Wait till you've reached the Gold rank, then serve me well. "
"Yes, Sir. I won't let you down." Belluniac put his hand on his chest and bowed with a solemn expression.
…
Laurist went upstairs. Maid Elina stood at the foot of the stairs and bowed. "Welcome back, Sir."
"Elina, you're welcome. Prepare me a bath and tell the kitchen downstairs to make me something to eat. "Laurist took off his two swords and put them on the table. Ever since Miss Bai Sha set her eyes on his swords, Laurist didn't dare to put his swords on the rack downstairs anymore. He would always bring them to his bedroom and never leave his sight.
"Yes, Sir." Elina went to the small bathroom beside the bedroom and took out a big bathtub made of maple wood. Then, she lit up the fireplace and put a big copper kettle on the iron rack to boil water.
Seeing Elina busy herself, Laurist began to wonder what it would be like to make a simple solar water heater. He knew how it worked. All he had to do was make a big metal water tank and blacken it to absorb the sun's energy. The only problem was that he didn't have suitable iron and copper sheets. This water tank wasn't like those copper bowls and basins that could be made thin. If he asked the coppersmiths to make it, the walls of the water tank would be as thick as a finger. Forget it. He had maids to take care of him, and he didn't have to do the work himself. There was no need to be lazy.
Soon, the water was ready. Laurist crawled into the big bathtub and sat comfortably inside. Then, he saw Elina packing up the clothes he took off.
"Elina, come here," Laurist said.
Elina shivered, and two pieces of clothes fell from her hands.
"Come and help me clean my back …" Laurist ordered.
Elina's face blushed. Hesitantly, she walked over slowly, and her petite body trembled slightly …
Walking to the bathtub, Elina picked up a piece of honey locust soap and began to apply it on Laurist's back.
Honey locust was the name of a tree. It was a very common plant in Galinthea and had a wide distribution. It was said that a long time ago, people began to use the fruit of this plant to make soap for cleaning. This honey locust soap had a fragrant scent and could bring a refreshing feeling to the body after using it.
After applying the soap, Elina used a linen towel to scrub his back …
"Elina, it's time to wash the front …" Laurist said.
Elina didn't say anything.
Laurist turned around and saw Elina trembling beside the bathtub with a red face and her head down …
With an evil smile, Laurist hugged Elina and carried her into the bathtub.
"Ah, my clothes …" Elina said in a trembling voice.
"Um, Elina, I think you should wash your dirty clothes," Laurist said as he took off Elina's clothes.
Elina closed her eyes and bit her lip. She didn't make a sound or move and let Laurist do whatever he wanted to her body. After Laurist stripped her naked, she shivered in Laurist's arms like a quail that fell into the water …
Leurist's hands moved up and down her body, and Elina leaned her head weakly against Leurist's arm. However, her body was getting hotter and hotter, and every time Leurist touched her sensitive areas, she would let out a slight "humph" sound from her nose …
Laurist finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up from the bathtub naked, stepped out of the bathtub, and walked to the bed with Elina in his arms.
With her eyes closed, Elina reminded Laurist with a blushing face, "S-Sir, you haven't eaten yet …"
"Um, I've decided to eat you first …" Laurist said.
…
When Laurist got up from the bed, it was already dark. The silver moonlight shone on the bed from the window, making Elina's body look like a beautiful jade statue. The girl had fallen into a deep sleep, and there were still two lines of tears on her pale face.
Laurist lovingly covered her with the blanket and gently wiped the tears on her face. He blamed himself. This girl wasn't like him, and she hadn't awakened her warrior energy yet. It was hard for her to endure his craziness. The last time, she couldn't take it anymore, but she forced herself to let it out on him. She didn't beg for mercy even when she cried. It wasn't until he used up all the energy he had stored in the past three months on her that he realized she had fainted.
He couldn't be so willful in the future, or else it would leave a shadow in her heart. It was supposed to be a happy thing, but if he forced it every time, it would be meaningless. But strangely, every time Laurist saw Elina tremble, he would have the urge to throw her onto the bed. Especially when he saw how she looked like she was willing to do whatever he wanted, he felt that it was especially tempting, and he just wanted to ravage her.
Stop, he must have watched too many Japanese action movies in his previous life. Why did he think of dripping wax, whipping, and tying her up … Laurist slapped his forehead twice and thought to himself, "I'm not a pervert, I'm not a pervert," and finally calmed himself down. He found a pajamas and put it on. Then, he walked to the window and looked into the distance.
The White Deer Hill in the distance was covered by a layer of silver sand under the moonlight. A few white deer were jumping and playing in beautiful postures, as if they were watching a silent movie. As Laurist gazed, he felt his heart become calmer and calmer, and he no longer felt restless. Involuntarily, Laurist got into a horse stance and began to circulate the Metal Water Scroll …
When Laurist was still at Dawn Academy, he used the opportunity of the academy's expedition to the Relic Islands to break through the peak of Overt Jing and reach the realm of Covert Jing. However, Laurist didn't know how to cultivate the realm of Covert Jing. He didn't reach this realm in his previous life, and he didn't listen to the teachings of the older generation. Now that he was in a different world, he didn't even have anyone to discuss with, so he could only explore and cultivate by himself. Laurist thought that he would need at least a few years to reach the next stage of Covert Jing, maybe even more than ten years. Other than relying on daily cultivation and perseverance, he had no other way. As for reaching the legendary realm of Covert Jing, Laurist didn't have much hope.
However, tonight, after circulating the Metal Water Scroll under the silver moonlight, Laurist felt as if he had arrived at the side of a boundless blue lake. The lake was as calm as a mirror, and Laurist felt as if he was everywhere. It was as if he had God's vision as he watched the scene of him accepting the challenge of a Silver-ranked expert on the arena in the blue mirror. The blue mirror kept splitting up, and every mirror showed the scene of Laurist accepting the challenge. The number of mirrors increased, and slowly, the scene of him being attacked by two Gold-ranked swordsmen at night appeared. Then, it was the situation of every battle after the northbound convoy set off …
Laurist watched silently and comprehended silently. He had never felt so clearly what he was lacking in every battle, and he was clear on what he should do better. That was until the two Gold rank Shield Bearers fell to the ground, until the Flying Feather Mercenaries died under his sword one after another, and finally when Captain Adams' head flew into the air …
In the darkness, Laurist seemed to hear a cracking sound. Then, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if his body had been freed from its shackles. He heard the whispers of the wind, and when he opened his eyes, the grass and trees on the White Deer Hill in the distance appeared clearly in his mind, as if he could make them out clearly …
Laurist stopped cultivating and stood up slowly. Only then did he realize that he was drenched in sweat, and his pajamas smelled fishy.
Glancing at Elina who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Laurist took two sets of clothes and went downstairs quietly. Then, he cleaned himself up by the well in the courtyard.
When he went upstairs, he bumped into Padt who was walking out of his room. "Sir, it's you. I was wondering who went out. Huh? Sir, you look a little different … "
Laurist smiled. "What do you mean?"
Padt furrowed his brows and thought for a while in distress. "Yes, Sir, you look in high spirits. Yes, that's the word, in high spirits and especially energetic …"
