As night drew near, the honor guard from Qixing Territory arrived at Ridge Territory.
Before the gates of Ridge Castle, Rayat and Brian stood side by side, watching the approaching procession with different expressions in their eyes.
Looking at that powerful force, Rayat's eyes were filled with astonishment.
More than three hundred Silver Knights—Ridge Territory could barely scrape together that many now.
A hundred meters from the castle, a Low-rank Gold Knight raised his hand to halt the advancing troops. He then dismounted, came to the carriage, and bowed. "Count Sir, Madam, we have arrived at Ridge Castle."
Seeing this, Velin sat up, stuffed the Adventure Storybook in his hand into his Space Ring, pushed open the carriage door, and jumped down.
Xuemya gathered the documents on the table and stepped out of the carriage as well.
Standing beside the carriage, Velin saw Brian in the distance. A smile appeared on his face as he went over and gave him a big hug.
"Cousin, long time no see."
Brian returned the embrace and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't come."
"I was in Qixing Territory. Since I received your invitation, of course I had to come." Velin released Brian and smiled. "And I didn't just come by myself this time—I also brought twenty crates of Shining Wine."
"In any case, I won't leave until we finish all this wine."
Brian looked suspicious and could not help asking, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am. Would I lie?"
"Of course, Rayat's drinking capacity will be the key factor."
Feeling Velin's gaze on him, Rayat quickly bowed. "Hello, Uncle Velin."
"You're a little slow to react. You only called me Uncle now? Tonight, you're not allowed to go to sleep until you've drunk two crates of wine, understand?" Velin said
