History (1)

Wolf Castle.

The current Grand Duke of Wolf Castle is named Frank Mitis! He is a vibrant middle-aged man with brown curly hair and a rugged appearance.

He was tall and imposing, carrying a massive sword that almost reached his shoulders. When silent, he was like a granite block, exuding the majesty of a lord of the North.

"Welcome, my sister! I've already instructed the butler to prepare rooms for you... and Gran, Sith, and my little Angel Julian, I'm sure they'll be delighted to see Linna ..."

Frank began.

His voice was deep and magnetic, now carrying a rare gentleness.

"Thank you, my brother, but I feel that the security situation in the North really needs a thorough overhaul..."

Lady Monfali gave a slight bow.

"I will leave the matter concerning the Mountain Clan to Mars."

In reality, once those mountain people see that things are not going well, they will definitely disappear into the deep mountains and snow forests, using the cold and terrain as cover, making it extremely difficult to find them.

At most, he would take some heads as a warning, avenge his sister, and demonstrate the majesty of the Lord of the North—that's all!

"On my journey, I encountered a very interesting Wandering Knight. He called himself Sulu Potter and claimed to have Black Iron Rank strength..."

"Lady Monfali suddenly said."

"A true master among the Wandering Knight... Are you recommending him to me? No... do you want him yourself?"

Frank's gaze seemed to pierce through Lady Monfali's face and see into her heart.

"Yes... the Portley Family, a family I've never heard of before. That guy must be of commoner origin; he couldn't resist the temptation of the fiefdom!"

Lady Monfali puffed out her chest proudly. "I could easily allocate him an estate, or even two, within my viscountry... I know you might be willing to help me, but I need to build my own military force."

"Let me remind you, this is not your viscountry, but the territory of Linna and her future husband. Until she comes of age, you are only temporarily in charge. This is the limit of what I have negotiated."

The current Grand Duke of Wolf Castle said with a hint of helplessness.

The relationship between the lord and his vassals was very delicate, even bordering on independent.

Even if he were a grand duke, he could not have the power of life or death over any of his nobles who held even the lowest rank.

Frank has gone to great lengths to ensure that his cousin's husband, Viscount White Valley, has passed away suddenly without leaving any children, in order to ensure that the title remains in the hands of the mother and daughter.

Furthermore, it is no longer possible to break the rules and forcefully interfere with events within the White Valley territory.

"My brother... you're just too fair!"

Lady Monfali wore a wry smile, "Do you know what I want to do most right now?"

"Hang those nobles who oppose you? That will only lead to the collapse of order... and the land will become ruins," Frank answered without hesitation.

He paused, his expression softening slightly. "I assure you, Linna will grow up healthy and happy in Wolf Castle until she comes of age... The Viscount's fiefdom and honor will belong to her and her husband, and no one can take them away."

"By then, my Greed retainers had already plundered the fiefdom countless times."

Lady Monfali smiled wryly, "And this incident has made me realize that I need a loyal and powerful knight... well, a knight of the Lord of White Valley... the Mercury Family!"

"I will not comment on the matter of territory, but recruiting a powerful knight is indeed a wise choice; perhaps he can protect the interests of White Valley in your stead..."

Frank said, "I will summon that Wandering Knight in my own name, and also to thank him for escorting you and your daughter here."

"Thank you, my brother."

Lady Monfali bowed.

"Let's go to the lobby together, everyone's waiting!"

Frank smiled, "How could our welcome banquet be complete without the leading lady?"

Inside the hotel.

night.

Sulu 'luxuriously' lit an oil lamp and began reading the books that the shop owner had painstakingly collected.

He paid the price of more than a dozen Gold Dragon for this.

In this era, knowledge represents wealth, and a very large amount of wealth at that!

At this moment, I opened a book of poems.

"Hmm... the writing style is somewhat Gulam Language, but I can understand it roughly."

Sulu became completely absorbed in the moment, with only the occasional rustling sound and the crackling of the wick inside the oil lamp escaping his notice.

Because they were written on parchment, which is generally quite thick, these books didn't contain much information, and Sulu finished reading them before midnight.

"This continent was originally nameless. The ancestors of the various dukes were powerful figures among the clans and tribes of the plains, and it was always in a state of chaos and war... Gradually, they developed the system of nobility and duchies..."

"Until one day, a powerful figure riding a dragon appeared, quickly subdued several major families, gained the allegiance of various nobles, unified the entire continent in a war of blood and fire, and established a kingdom."

"He called himself Dragon I, and established a kingdom called the Dragon Kingdom. The continent was also named the ' Dragon ' continent... It has a history of over a thousand years. Over the long years, the kingdom has been passed down through dozens of generations, and powerful creatures such as Great Dragon have gradually disappeared..."

Recalling the Glory founding history recorded in an epic book, Sulu's expression became quite amused. He rolled his eyes and retorted, "Why don't you just collect another thousand swords and forge an Iron Throne instead..."

Of course, the truth of history is often buried in various rumors and poems.

What he excels at is extracting the essence from these fragments of information and meticulously reconstructing the whole picture.

"This world still has Great Dragon? Real Great Dragon are at the fifth rank upon reaching adulthood; they're absolutely legendary creatures..."

"To subdue Great Dragon, could it be that Dragon I is actually a professional, and a fifth-tier [Dragon Shepherd] at that?"

"The last time the world experienced Dawn of Gods occurred more than a thousand years ago?"

Sulu felt he was gradually getting closer to the truth.

"Unexpectedly... the [Dragon Shepherd] profession, which is quite criticized in the Main World, has achieved such great success in this world... This is mainly thanks to the existence of Great Dragon in this world... or rather... a thousand years ago."

He was somewhat tempted!

Great Dragon! A fifth-tier legendary creature!

Its blood, bones, dragon scales, dragon skin... are all extremely precious and extraordinary materials!

If the opponent were a living being, Sulu would run as far away as possible and would never turn back before reaching the fifth rank.

But if someone is dead, that's a different story.

That represents a treasure, and... the Dragon Family may have tamed more than one dragon!

"There are even fifth-tier inheritances or higher... It's definitely worth a visit."

A sharp glint appeared in Sulu's eyes.
