"Pull up!" Claire plucked the fruit he was holding with all his strength.
After falling off the fruit tree, the magic power spread even more intensely, like a flower that was shaken vigorously, trying its best to spread its fragrance.
Claire gently handed it to his mouth, hesitated for a moment and then looked at Rona.
"You couldn't lie to me, but after I ate it, I died suddenly on the spot."
Rona stomped his feet angrily when he heard Claire's words, stretched out his hand to grab the fruit in Claire's hand, "If you don't believe it, let me eat it!"
Claire turned around to avoid Rona, took a step back, and said with a smile, "I was joking with you."
Then he opened his mouth and swallowed the fruit the size of a baby's fist in two mouthfuls.
"Duang!"
There was a strange energy swaying in Claire's body, and then the magic power in Claire's body began to become active uncontrollably.
At this time, Claire could feel the sensations coming from all his organs, as if it had transformed into every cell in his body, and all parts of his body were under his control.
"Uh!" Claire couldn't help but make a muffled sound.
Rona took a step forward worriedly, and then another wave of energy swayed from the inside out of Claire's body, forcing it back.
Claire, who was in the middle, widened his eyes, unable to hide the surprise and excitement in his eyes. At this time, he could feel that the magic power in his body was soaring at an extremely fast speed, and soon reached a bottleneck, but the growth had not yet stopped, and continued to accumulate strength.
"Is this the case for Rona's promotion before?" Claire thought to himself, closing his eyes and carefully feeling the changes in his body.
Three or four minutes later, a wave of magic surged out of Claire's body. Then the strange aura around his body slowly disappeared, and Claire slowly opened his eyes.
Rona on the side quickly stepped forward and threw various Scrying Spell at Claire, wanting to confirm whether Claire had suffered any negative effects.
Claire opened his hand for inspection and asked, "Is something wrong?"
After confirming the feedback, Rona felt relieved and said, "No problem, it has the same effect as my fruit. It can intensify and increase the magic power in the body."
Claire closed his eyes again to feel the changes in his body, then opened his eyes and replied, "This fruit is not only effective on magic power, its essence is to optimize and transform the human body, and the increased magic power is only one of its effects."
"You mean this fruit also has an effect on knights who practice Battle Aura?"
Whether it is a magician or a knight who practices Battle Aura, the essence of level improvement is the optimization and transformation of one's own body. Therefore, the higher the level of the mage, the longer the lifespan, and the higher the level of the knight, the more outrageous the overall physical fitness.
Claire nodded, "Indeed."
"By the way, have you made a breakthrough?" Rona suddenly asked.
Claire smiled slightly, "Guess!"
"What's there to hide?" Rona was so angry, "Huh! You must have advanced, otherwise you wouldn't be able to laugh."
"So smart!"
Then Claire asked Rona to pick all four fruits from the fruit tree, and then returned to the Baronial Manor.
..."Kellan haven't they come back yet?" Claire asked, with a worried tone.
Isaac sat on his side. Academy of Sciences has not been built yet. He is not very busy, so he often stays in the Baronial Manor to eat. The food made by Yuna is pretty good.
Hant, who was sitting opposite Claire, replied, "There is no news yet. Maybe something happened on the road. Lord, don't worry."
It's been two days since Kellan was sent out. According to Gale Wolf's speed, he could have arrived in the capital, but now there is no news at all.
Not only Claire is worried, Hant is also very worried, but he can't say it directly.
"If there is no news tonight, we will send someone to follow their footsteps to check."
"Understood! I'll do it right away."
As soon as Hant stood up, Regan hurried in from outside the door, "Master, Count Grein's Barony is here."
Claire's eyes flickered slightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, "Tell me more!"
"Count Grein sent his butler over, saying he wanted to discuss cooperation. He also brought..."
"Say!"
"The three knights in our territory..."
"Huh!" Claire took a deep breath, "Where is he now?"
"It's still at the city gate."
"I'll be right over." Claire said in a calm tone, but everyone present also heard the anger in his words.
After hearing Regan's words, Hant's face became uncertain.
Isaac also put away his uninhibited sitting posture and stood up with a serious expression, "I'll go over and take a look too."
The three of them quickly arrived at the city gate. At this time, the city gate was already surrounded by people, and people continued to join the onlookers.
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "The Viscount is here!"
The crowd immediately made way for a passage for Claire and others to walk through.
"You must be the Viscount, right?"
As soon as Claire walked over, a tall and thin man wearing human-like dog-like clothes came closer with a smile on his face, and then introduced himself, "I am Count Grein's butler, my name is Bill. Count Grein called me here to discuss cooperation with you, Lord Viscount."
Claire looked around and didn't see Kellan and others, so he asked, "What kind of cooperation?"
"Regarding the business of Iodized Salt, our Lord Count hopes that you can give us the formula."
Claire couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's really interesting, what if I don't?"
"Then I'm afraid there will never be any water available in your territory." Bill smiled slightly, looking confident.
"Oh, by the way!" Bill suddenly slapped himself on the forehead, "Our county captured three robbers. They said they were knights under your command. Can you see if this is the case?"
"One night two days ago, our patrolling knights discovered three sneaky guys. After arresting them, they said they were your knights. I thought how could such a sneaky guy be your knights. Then we interrogated them, but they still refused to change their story and still said they were knights under your command."
Bill waved to the back, and several Count Grein's Barony knights carried him over and threw him to the ground casually. The three knights were all tied up with ropes. The three of them were tied together like livestock, without leaving any face. There were sword wounds of varying degrees all over the body, and some places were not even scarred, and blood kept pouring out.
The heavy fall caused the three of them to cough up blood and saliva. You can imagine how severe the torture they received was.
Seeing this scene, Claire's right index finger shook uncontrollably, and he watched this scene without blinking, as if something was about to emerge.
After Kellan saw Claire, the tears in his eyes flowed out uncontrollably. He didn't even shed a tear when he was tortured by the other party, but he could no longer control it in front of Claire.
"Ahhhh!!" Kellan cried while crying, and hit the ground with his head crazily, leaving a bloody mark.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Kellan cried so hard that his body twitched, "Lord Viscount! I'm sorry for you! I have brought shame on you to the Viscount!"
The other two people also cried, and the three grown men just cried in front of everyone, without caring about their own face. At this time, they only felt ashamed of Claire. He failed to complete the task he had confessed to and ended up in this embarrassing state.
Claire glanced down slightly from the corner of his mouth, but quickly held back and blinked his eyes to prevent his tears from flowing out.
Bill didn't think it was exciting enough, so he deliberately said, "No matter how hard we tortured them to extract confessions, they just didn't want to tell their identities, so we had no choice but to bring them all over. Can you see if these three people are knights under your command? If not, we will help you deal with it. If it is a misunderstanding, I deeply apologize!"
Claire took a deep breath and felt a tightness in his chest, "If you used these words to anger me, then you succeeded. I am already furious, and I don't want to hear any more of these bullshit from you!"
The corners of Claire's eyes opened slightly, and he opened his hands and pressed down on the opponent. An invisible pressure rushed from his body like a wave towards Bill!
"Crack!"
Bill felt that his body suddenly became a hundred times heavier, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably. His expression suddenly became panicked. The knights on the side pulled out their swords and wanted to step forward. Isaac raised his hand and pressed down those knights!
Hant quickly pulled out his sword, cut the rope and rescued Kellan and the others from being tied up.
Claire waved his hand and signaled Hant to pass the sword to him. After taking the sword, Claire slowly walked towards the butler Bill who was pressed to the ground and unable to move.
Bill had lost his composure for a second now, and roared, "What are you going to do! I am Count Grein's butler! Are you going to attack me for those three despicable knights! Count Grein will not let you go!"
"They are not humble knights, nor are they the sneaky thieves and robbers you said. They are my knights and my people. I treat them like my relatives and brothers!" Claire said, stepping on the opponent's palm with his foot and twisting it hard.
"Ahhhhh it hurts! Let go!"
