In the secret underground chamber of the Grant Family castle, Saine met his father Earl Grant, who had just finished his training. →69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

After more than a decade, Earl Grant's face was noticeably more wrinkled.

However, like Saine, Earl Grant is still very handsome.

As he grew older, Earl Grant did not become too frail; on the contrary, his masculine charm made him appear as a handsome old man.

It was also from Earl Grant and Jeremy's great-grandfather that Saine learned that his father, Earl Grant, had failed to break through to the first level four years ago.

The reason why Ulysses' ancestor, Level-2 Knight, returned to the Knights' Hall three years ago was largely to find some potions and special resources for Earl Grant to help Knight break through and advance in rank.

"Becoming Level 1 Knight isn't that easy. It's understandable to fail once. I'll have at least two more chances in the future," Earl Grant said to Saine, feigning generosity.

Earl Grant was right; breaking through to Life Level is not a simple matter.

There aren't that many cases where things happen naturally. Many Knight and Mage experience one or two failures when breaking through to the Life Realm, which is normal.

However, for Earl Grant, the defeat four years ago was also a significant blow.

Because Earl Grant was already in perfect condition, and his family had prepared some special resources for him to make a breakthrough.

But in the end, not only did the breakthrough fail, but all the medicinal resources were also consumed. →

Given the Grant Family's resources, they can still bear the consequences of this defeat.

However, the effects on Earl Grant's physical and mental health were not so easily eliminated.

Judging from Earl Grant's performance, he maintained a very positive attitude and will.

Perhaps failing once isn't such a bad thing. With more experience and a calmer mindset, Earl Grant will be more than capable of reaching even greater heights next time.

After listening to Earl Grant's introduction, Saine remained silent for a moment, then took some things out of his Space Bracelet.

The flesh and blood of numerous Flame Creature, some special fire-based resources, and two clear, pale blue potions.

Thanks to the fact that the Grant Family uses Violet Flame Battle Qi Battle Qi, the many battle lessons that Saine learned from the Poison Fire Green Flame World can be of great help to them.

For example, the flesh and blood of those Flame Creature would be a great tonic for Knight like Earl Grant.

The flesh and blood that Saine presented were all from creatures of level one or higher. (Those below level one, the Grant Family could obtain themselves without Saine's help.)

It's a pity that Saine's mentor Luluman, hasn't returned to the Wizard World yet; otherwise, if Saine had known this situation, he would definitely have spoken to his mentor.

With Luluman's Level-4 Magician strength, the flesh and blood of some level three Flame Creature are probably nothing to her.

The highest-grade flesh and blood that Saine presented was only a section of the body of a level-two Flame Viper, enough to feed Earl Grant for several meals. →

Saine did have a bottle of blood from the Red Blade Lizard King, a level-three creature he obtained during the Plane War, but he had already used up a significant portion of it Saine research, and the remaining amount was probably not even enough for a single sip.

Saine felt that what he had brought out was not much, but it still shocked Earl Grant and Jeremy's great-grandfather.

In particular, Jeremy's great-grandfather, who had participated in two Plane War, was still surprised by Saine's actions.

With a complicated expression, Jeremy glanced at the half-body of the level-two Flame Viper and couldn't help but sigh, "Having a tower master as a mentor certainly has many advantages."

Jeremy believed that Saine's gains in the Plane War were all thanks to his mentor Luluman.

In reality, this half of a level-two Flame Viper's body was one of his Spoils of War when he was operating Magic Guided Cannon in the Space Fortress during the later stages of the Poison Fire Green Flame World War.

A salvo from more than a dozen Space Fortress Magic Guided Cannon was enough to blast even Level-2 Creature to pieces.

The fortress was quite meticulous in distributing the Spoils of War, and in the end, they even managed to give Saine half of the remains of a level-two Flame Creature.

The flesh and blood of these Flame Creature and the special fire-based resources before him would greatly benefit Earl Grant's advancement to Level 1 Knight.

Those two potions were special potions that Saine specially purchased for Earl Grant in the Holy Tower, potions that could stimulate the potential of living organisms.

There are definitely more pharmacists in the Azure Source Holy Tower compared to other regions.

There are quite Level 1 Knight from certain regions who travel all the way to the Trading District of Azure Source Holy Tower to buy potions.

The potions that Saine's ancestor, the Level-2 Knight Ulysses, purchased for Count Grant from the Earl Grant 'Knights' Hall were probably of similar quality to the two that Saine brought.

Even in terms of the cost, what Ulysses bought from the Knights' Hall was probably more expensive.

"My great-grandfather Ulysses will probably return to the Lisia Alliance in about a year, at which time I will also attempt to break through to the first level again," Earl Grant said to Saine.

Nodding to the Earl, Saine said, "If I have time, I will come back to visit again."

"No need. Just focus on your studies and research in magic at the Holy Tower. I will send you a message if I successfully advance to the next level," Earl Grant said with a smile.

Besides the matter of aiming for the top tier, Earl Grant also mentioned to Saine in the secret chamber that he planned to pass the earldom to Solon this year.

In fact, Grant Territory has been managing Solon's territory for the past few years.

Earl Grant no longer has the energy to be distracted by these worldly matters; his main goal at this stage is to focus all his efforts on preparing for the challenge to reach the first rank.

Originally, Great- Jeremy was not very satisfied with Solon, but of Solon's two sons and one daughter, Great-Grandfather Jeremy especially loved the pair of blond twins.

The Grant Family is currently living in harmony, so Jeremy has no objection to passing the Earl title to Solon.

As for Level-2 Knight Ulysses, unless it's a matter of life and death for the Grant Family, he wouldn't care about the inheritance of a Level-2 Knight.

A mere few decades is nothing at all.

As a Knight who had lived for over a thousand years, Ulysses had seen far too much.

Saine spent a week with the Grant Family. Although he didn't go to the Ferrell Family, he sent a message to them, conveying his words to Serena about his willingness to mentor younger generations.

The Ferrell Family was overjoyed and immediately decided to send their three eligible children to study at the Holy Tower Azure Source Holy Tower two years later.

During his week-long stay with the Grant Family, Saine also took the time to test the Mental Strength of the direct and collateral relatives under the age of sixteen.

The results were very unsatisfactory.

The entire Grant Family has at least twenty or thirty members under the age of sixteen, both direct and collateral relatives. (Note: Most are collateral relatives; there are only a few direct relatives.)

But in the end, only two people met the initial Mental Strength requirements, one of whom was his little niece.

It seems that Bloodline and genes are really important. The Ferrell Family is far less prosperous than the Grant Family, but they have quite a few magic apprentices.

On the Saine's side hand, the Grant Family seems to have many promising talents who can cultivate Battle Qi.

Including Saine's cute and beautiful blonde niece, perhaps the path of martial arts would be more suitable for her than the path of Battle Qi.

Although her initial Mental Strength met the standard, it was only barely passing.

Under normal circumstances, unless there are special connections, the Holy Tower will not accept apprentices with such low initial Mental Strength.
