Knight with Wand

Behind the carriage loaded with furniture, sundries and belongings was a caravan with Ms. Elena and others and servants.

The Guards Cavalry Cavalry led by Azerion and Lohark were protected on both sides by dozens of Selva warriors transferred from the barracks.

It was the first time for Lina and the children in her family to experience such a high-profile move. After learning that they were going to live in a large and beautiful castle, everyone was as excited as if they were traveling.

These surviving boys and girls did not remember much about Selva. Their parents were killed in that nightmare. For these orphans who survived, the gentle and kind Mr. Leon, Olivia, and Elena My sisters and the others are now my relatives. It doesn’t matter where I live with them.

Leon was in front of Selva's house, watching the team go away, but he did not set off with them. After all, there was an extra-large member of the family who had not yet returned.

He took the gryphon cub away without saying hello. Deathclaw would definitely be furious if he didn't see the child.

Feeling that his trouser legs were being pulled around by some naughty little guy, Leon lowered his head and looked helplessly at the naughty and active little Goethe.

In the more than two months since it broke out of its shell, this little fat chick has grown from the size of a palm in both hands to a body of more than 60 centimeters in length.

During the time when Corvis was taken to Glade County, Olivia and the female relatives at home took care of him, but the little fat chirp was not hungry at all.

"Smelly treasure, bite, bite, bite again~ Master, I haven't settled the accounts with you for the several pairs of pants I've bitten to pieces."

Leon stretched out his claws and picked up the little griffin, which had already taken the shape of its mother. Ignoring its chirping, he turned around and returned to the house.

Corvais closed the door to prevent the energetic little Goethe from sneaking out again.

Closed doors cut off much of the bustle of Selva's streets.

The hall of the mansion, which had been getting increasingly crowded, suddenly became empty and quiet, making it seem a bit desolate.

"Everyone has left, it's so deserted."

Olivia lay on the long table with her hands on her chin, looked at the empty hall, and sighed.

Now, apart from Brian, who lives in the barracks and leads the troops, the only people left in the family are Leon, Corvis, Olivia, and Treya, who volunteered to stay and help with cooking.

Even the cook, Aunt Miliya, and her husband set off with the team first.

"When the Death Claws are called, let's go to Avalon and things will get lively again." Leon Rua was satisfied with little Goethe before he put the struggling little guy back on the ground.

Speaking of which, he still had some regrets. If he had known that Earliver planned to seal the forest castle to himself, he would have named it "Caliban" or "Alduruk".

He would not give his main city such an unlucky name as "Avalon".

He didn't want to be stabbed through the waist by his rebellious son or daughter one day in the future, and then lie down in the mage tower and stretch out his body.

Um? Wait a minute, think about it this way. It seems that the first two are more unlucky.

Avalon at least wasn't blown to smithereens like the first two.

"Sir Leon, Miss Olivia, if there is nothing else, I will prepare lunch in advance, but my craftsmanship is not as good as Mrs. Miliya, please forgive me."

Treya felt that time was almost up, so she stood up and suggested preparing meals for everyone.

"Just get some. We're not that particular. Remember to get more meat." Leon, who loves meat, nodded.

Seeing Treya going to the kitchen to work, Covis felt something interesting and took the initiative to get up and leave the space for Leon and Olivia.

"My lord, I will go to the backyard to play with little Goethe. If anything happens, call me." After saying that, he picked up the griffon cub and left the house.

There were only two people left, and the atmosphere in the hall became even more lonely.

Leon sat sideways in front of the table, his chin clenched, staring at Olivia, and the memory of the parting day emerged in his heart again.

The sunlight filtering through the side window made the room half-dark, making people sleepy.

Olivia yawned, resting her head on her arms. She looked sideways at Leon and suggested in a low voice: "Would you like to practice sword practice together? Or practice long-distance running with heavy weights with me?"

"There is plenty of time to practice martial arts, but it is rare to have leisure." Leon smiled and asked meaningfully: "My dear, have you forgotten something?"

"?"

The girl lay on the table and blinked, wondering what her lover was referring to.

Leon stood up and came behind the girl to block her escape route in advance. Then, with his hands on both sides of her, he lowered his head to Olivia's ear and murmured a few shameless words of love.

The girl's cheeks instantly looked like ripe apples.

She turned her head and buried her face in her arms.

After a while, Olivia complained quietly.

"Bad guy. Just promise, don't get those clothes dirty."

Leon was elated when he received the girl's whispered agreement.

"Wuhu~!!"

With one move, he picked up the lithe Olivia, and Leon hurried up the stairs with a wicked smile like a wealthy landowner who robbed a peasant girl.

Quitting?

He gave up without thinking for a second.

If you lose your life, you can lose your life. Anyway, after learning the authentic Lorelite magic, if you ask Laura for advice in the future, there will definitely be a way to extend your life.

The beautiful life without shame lasted for two days.

It's a pity that even though he is not a serious person, Leon still does not have the habit of writing a diary, otherwise the 40,000 Ferru characters may not be able to write down the "romance" in it.

During this period he also received a reply from Larian.

After discussing and considering with his partner, the Ranger Knight finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to the Holy Kingdom and gladly accepted the employment to become the Lord's Advisor in charge of the local affairs of Kantadar in the Baron's territory.

However, the specific staff work will be discussed at the meeting held in Avalon later.

On the third day after Azerien and his friends moved out of Selva, Leon finally saw the returning Deathclaw.

Before it left after visiting Little Goethe, Leon quickly gestured and danced to convey their intention of moving.

This clever beast quickly understood the intention of human friends to "move", so it took off from the ground and circled above everyone's head.

At first, Leon saw the Deathclaw take off and thought that the other party was annoyed by his chattering, but seeing that it did not leave in the sky and was always waiting for everyone to act, he quickly called Treya to bring the horse and let Corvis notify Larian to set off.

Deathclaw was very patient. It followed Leon's movements and waited for the human friends on the ground to board the carriage with its cubs. It even rose to a high altitude to avoid frightening the horses and vehicles on the ground.

Larian rode a warhorse, and his servant drove the carriage with Miss Margarina, and arrived at the east intersection of the village early to wait.

After the group gathered, they set out on the road to Avalon.

Accompanied by the griffins in the sky, the group rode through the forest road non-stop, and it took only half a day to reach the valley in the forest.

The team passed through the fields, the horses stepped over the ancient bridge on the river, and the pedestrians carrying farm tools to go home avoided the slowly moving carriages. Leon's team entered the town area under construction.

Olivia looked around on horseback, her eyes amazed.

"Leon, there are so many changes here." She remembered that the last time she came, the valley outside the fortress was still an empty countryside.

Now there are endless houses, large tracts of farmland, and bustling people.

There is also a large military camp not far away.

Larian, his servant, and Margarina in the team looked up and were surprised by the tall fortress in front of them.

A rough estimate of the castle shows that although it is only about half the size of the Sea Cliff Castle in Fercon, the western port, it is enough to be called a rare magnificent fortress in the world.

Such a huge castle is extremely rare even in the hands of many great lords who have counties, let alone a new noble who only had a village territory not long ago.

Margarina was in the carriage, looking at the young baron in front of her in confusion.

As the eldest daughter of the Salain family, she knew that even her father would hardly be willing to spend a huge fortune to build a fortress of such a scale.

Is this the fiefdom that the other party obtained after being conferred the title of baron?

Although it was very rude, Margarina couldn't help but wonder if this Baron Leon was the illegitimate son of his master, the Earl of Thorn Flower?

No, this kind of treatment is only given to the eldest son.

Entering the city gate, the neat roads inside the fortress, the beautiful and tall buildings, and the carefully arranged infrastructure opened the eyes of Larian, his servants, and Magalina.

I thought it was a rural pioneering land in the forest, but it turned out to be a beautiful and vibrant town. Magalina couldn't help but look forward to the life of settling here in the future.

The air around was fresh, and all the way into the city, there was no filth everywhere in the general town.

In comparison, in addition to the noise and complexity, in terms of living environment and scenery, even the royal city of Kantadar seemed so unsightly.

Arriving at the square main fortress in the northeastern high city area, Azerian and Lohak, who had received the news, had already been waiting at the bottom of the stairs to greet them.

"Leon, you are finally here."

"There is no way, who let that big guy just come back."

Leon and everyone else turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and pointed at the black spot circling in the sky.

He looked back at Larian, who was helping Miss Margarina get off the car, and then asked Azerien and the others, "Are there any vacant houses in the city? Find a nearby one for Lord Larian to live in. This knight has accepted my recruitment and is now one of ours."

"Yes, I'll take them to rest." Lohak volunteered to step forward and lead Larian and his party to stay.

Leon looked up and looked at the towering tower of the main castle, and told Corvis, "Take little Goethe to the top of the tower and call the deathclaw to land, so that it should know where to find us in the future."

Avalon is much larger than Selva's mansion. If the griffin doesn't discuss a good place with him, if it can't find the cub in the future and starts looking for it everywhere in Avalon, it will probably scare many people.

But thinking of this, Leon's heart moved, and he looked back at the fortress, and then turned to look at the higher fountain square in the northwest, the lonely mountain that Avalon Castle relies on.

The book says that the Lorelits raise griffins in mountain nests or towers, so isn't my current environment just right?

Should I try to let the Deathclaw settle down? Anyway, I can afford it now.

Thinking about it, Leon temporarily put this idea in his mind and led everyone into the main castle.

Although he has been here many times, he doesn't know much about the interior of the main castle, so he followed Azerien who moved in earlier and browsed the new home of everyone in the future room by room and floor by floor.

"It's very strange that there is no place for a throne in the main hall of the main castle, and the sculpture that looks like the symbol of the Holy Sun cannot be removed at the moment. So I temporarily arranged for everyone to tidy up the banquet hall on the upper floor and put it on your The lord's chair can also be used as a main hall." Azarian introduced the interior of the main castle.

Antechamber, banquet hall, meeting room, reception room, office area and vacant rooms in the four-corner fortress tower, as well as the "Lord's Residence" on the upper floor.

But Leon knew that the most spacious room on the top floor was naturally not the lord's bedroom. It was originally the residence of Garouen, the ancestor of the Thorn Flower family and the captain of Ms. Avroth's guard.

The reason why there is no lord's throne here is because the owner of Bauhinia Fortress, Ms. Avros, actually lives in the mage tower, not in this main castle where daily affairs are managed.

After informing everyone about the location of their respective rooms, Azarian saw Olivia overlooking the city of Avalon on the observation balcony, so he quietly pulled Leon to the side.

"I haven't arranged Olivia's room yet. You can figure it out yourself."

Leon raised his eyebrows and gave him a thumbs up, brother understands my heart.

As night fell, after having dinner with everyone in the main castle, Leon, Azarian and others came to the conference room to discuss the current important territorial affairs.

First of all, of course, he must determine the responsibilities of everyone around him in managing the now huge territory.

Establishing a simple administrative system that works is a top priority.

Counting Avalon and Selva, Leon has four towns and fourteen villages under his own rule.

Lohark has a town, a castle, and two villages.

There are five villages in Azerion.

There are more than ten thousand people living in the territory, and the scales vary. If they still want to be as hands-on as before, Leon and others may have to spend all their time running back and forth to deal with different trivial matters.

Although Leon has no relevant experience in building a bureaucratic system, Azarian has been familiar with the bureaucratic structure of the Holy Land City. Moreover, Ms. Vereesa and Ms. Saili are present and can give suggestions based on their past knowledge of the family territory. .

Chief administrative officer, chief secretary, chief financial officer, chief stable officer, medical officer, caterer, security officer, ranger, tax collector, scribe, accountant, and currently a few knights who are personally judging the court. It is not that urgent, but it will definitely be needed in the future. Officials, and even when there is spare time in the future, the education officials will be needed.

First determine the positions within the structure, and then summon town mayors and village officials from various places to Avalon for a meeting.

"Lord Leon, please forgive me for asking. Are you planning to incorporate the territories of Lord Azerion and Lord Lohark into your bureaucracy, and manage them together like you did in Selva in the past? "?" Ms. Veresa couldn't help but asked, bearing the strangeness.

Hearing Vereesa's words, Leon and the other three were stunned.

Yeah, it does seem a bit strange.

They were used to living together, so they subconsciously discussed all the areas together.

But now there are no longer three small villages. No matter from which point of view, Avalon Territory does not have the status and legal principles to rule the territory under the name of the other two Thorn Flower Knights.

"I have no objection." Lohark scratched his head and said nonchalantly.

In Lohak's view, his life, relatives, and everything he owns now all come from Leon's kindness to him. Even if he wants to give everything he has to him now, he can give it all without hesitation. Except my sister, of course.

"I have no objection either." Azarian shook his head. His idea was very simple. Feelings and friendship are very important factors, but at the same time Azarian could also see what he could have by following Leon. future and hope.

Leon frowned and thought for a moment, understanding what Ms. Vereesa meant.

He raised his head and smiled at Azerion and Rohark: "Of course we won't mind, but if you never have a suitable name and are always like this, without mentioning outsiders, your future descendants will What do you think? It’s still early to talk about this, but I can take this opportunity to think about this issue in advance.”

"Then, how about I swear allegiance to Leon and become your knight? You have become such a big baron." Lohark had a flash of inspiration and felt that he had come up with a good idea.

Azarian couldn't help but laugh at him and hold his forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Leon was helpless because of his brother's astonishing wisdom: "You and I are both vassals of Earl Elliver, and we have just accepted the new fief canonization. Are you betraying the master now? Do you not want the title?"

"Oh, okay, that's right." Lohark shrugged, realizing that he had said something stupid.

There was a slight silence in the room, and Leon took some hot water to moisten his throat.

Looking aimlessly to the side, Leon's heart moved slightly when he saw Olivia, who was wearing the same white dress and blue dress as Arturia, obediently listening on the side seat.

Almost at the same time, he thought of the invitation Princess Ines had given him that day.

After a long time, an idea came to Leon's mind.

"How about we establish a 'Knights'?"
