"Hmph, what's the use of being beautiful? Not as good as your daughter. I heard that she has become a big knight at a young age, and she is really better than a man."

Earl Carrick also realized that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, especially after forcing Natalie to get married, the only child who dared to speak became silent and took the initiative to respond to Baron Fred.

"Uh, I'm just this daughter, just a wild girl, I've been spoiled by me. Even if a woman knows, she can't do it, and that's the only thing that makes a fortune." Although Fred said this, his face unconsciously felt a little pride.

He is not as traditional as Carrick, and his daughter is indeed better than most men. He was not as outstanding as her when he was young.

"By the way, didn't you bring her with you? I invite you to bring your family." Earl Carrick frowned slightly at the empty table.

Since his wife passed away, although he has many women, he has never been married again. He is usually very busy and rarely eats with his children.

Besides, in their eyes, I have never been a good father.

"She is here and works in my guards for the time being. She is not qualified to come in for your family dinner." Fred said very seriously.

"Let her come in. If you had a son, we would have been a family." Earl Carrick is now using people, and Fred is the one he needs to win the most. He has a high reputation in the Northern Territory, especially among the civilians, otherwise he would not have invited him to visit.

"Yes... it's her honor." The Count's words made him very excited and immediately stood up and walked out. In fact, he had always hoped that his daughter could officially serve in the North Wind City Army. She had the ability and obligation to contribute to the Trein family.

Soon he walked in with a woman in knight's armor.

Lei Wen naturally looked over curiously.

The female knight was wearing a helmet and couldn't see clearly, but her silver light armor looked heroic and brave, and she felt as if she was as good as a man.

"Meet the Count."

The female knight casually untied the knight's sword on her waist, took off her helmet, knelt on one knee, and gave a very standard knightly ceremony to Count Carrick.

He raised his head and couldn't help but glance at Lei Wen gently.

"cough..."

When she saw her appearance, Lei Wen couldn't help but be surprised.

Isn’t she just Niya? Why didn’t she change so much in a while? Especially her temperament, she has no sense of gentleness and obedience at all. If she was an obedient and good girl before, she is now a mighty female general.

"Ha, Niya, I haven't seen you for a while. Now I am such a beautiful girl, and I am the youngest big knight in our North Wind City. OK, very good..." Earl Carrick nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing Fred's expression of being reluctant to speak, Carrick soon understood that he had come. Niya has now become a great knight and can be granted the imperial seal anywhere.

As the saying goes, the rich water will not flow to outsiders, let alone the child of her most loyal and capable cadres.

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked towards Niya, gently putting his hand on her shoulder.

He said solemnly: "Nia, are you willing to serve the Trein family and become the independent lord knight??"

"..." Niya raised her head gently and hesitated for a moment, especially when she saw Lei Wen behind the count, she couldn't speak.

The Knight's oath was not so easy to make, she felt that she was not ready yet. If it were the one behind, she would nod without hesitation.

"Nia, what are you thinking?? Didn't you hear the words of Lord Earl?" Fred was naturally very dissatisfied with his daughter's silence.

Being able to become a lord knight means officially becoming a nobleman. They can obtain valuable territory. With territory, they will have independent income, which not only ensures the improvement of their own strength, but also has the right to train knights.

Fred knew very well that he was not a hereditary nobleman who was enfeoffed by the kingdom. Once he grew old one day, his territory would naturally be taken back.

What's more, even hereditary nobles may not necessarily have received national protection from generation to generation, but great noble families can often produce talents. Isn't Lei Wen a very realistic example?

Therefore, if a civilian knight like them wants to continue, he must make his descendants strive for self-improvement and receive the imperial seal based on his strength.

If you can become a lord knight for more than three generations, you can barely be called a noble in the true sense.

This is easier said than done. Fred is an easy person to satisfy and does not look so far. He only hopes that his daughter can be self-reliant and become a qualified lord knight.

Now is a great opportunity.

"I, I do." Niya couldn't resist the pressure her father brought to her, and replied with her right hand pressed her chest solemnly.

Although her big eyes looked at Earl Carrick in front of her, she kept staring at Raven behind her.

"..." Lei Wen could naturally feel the message conveyed in her eyes. He had deep love and unswerving loyalty.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip on his own, blinking at her gently.

I feel like I didn't show any of it at this time. Isn't it too much? I really can't stand the deep affection that Niya's big eyes that can speak constantly...

To be honest, how could such a good girl hurt others' hearts? She should not be so hesitant and entangled. It can be seen that she is not a person who can hide her heart. What if she misses her?

What's more, men should dare to act...

Perhaps feeling Lei Wen's response, Niya suddenly became relaxed. She spoke the Knight's oath very seriously, and she no longer had the entanglement she had just now.

Because in her heart, everything is told to someone, as long as he understands it.

"Hahaha, very good! There is finally something that makes people happy today.

Well... I will give you Emerald Ridge. I believe you will become a better knight lord than your father." Earl Carrick looked at Niya with great satisfaction, spreading his hands and shouting loudly.

"!! Isn't you happy to thank the Count for your kindness??!" Fred was overjoyed when he heard this, and even stood up excitedly and trembled all over.

You should know that Emerald Ridge is a very high-quality territory of Beifeng Fort. It not only has a large lake, but also has several small minerals.

Niya has obtained such a territory. As long as she manages properly, she will not only be self-sufficient, but also have a lot of surplus. This is crucial for her future knight growth.

After all, if you want to steadily improve your strength, not only do you need to work hard enough, but resources are also very important.

For example, she is now an excellent wind knight. A knight sword used to exercise combat skills with wind elements requires at least 2 golden dragons.

If it is of higher quality, it can exceed 10 pieces.

But it can only be used for less than half a year at most.

You should know that these civilian knights have no family heritage. There are very few top equipment that can be used for several generations, so of course it is not your turn.

Therefore, the Count is definitely a gift.

"Ha, forget it, what else can we have to do with each other? Niya's potential is worthy of Emerald Ridge, which is what she deserves." Earl Carrick waved his hand and sat back on his original position. The reason why he was so kind to Fred was that the situation was serious.

Compared with the nobles, civilian knights are more willing to serve him and gather them together.
