"What do you mean by a strange look? That's the look a lord gives when he admires his subordinates."
Ron was already used to his maid's complaints; he was thick-skinned enough not to care about such things at all.
He noticed that Fria was looking at him with her crimson vertical pupils, so he smiled and looked away.
There was nothing that could be done. Although Fria's whole body was soft, her fists were incredibly hard, and hitting someone was extremely painful.
Although he had just taken a magic potion that boosted his strength considerably, he was still no match for Phylia, who had awakened her bloodline for the second time.
To make things more comfortable at night, I'll watch less.
"Then why don't you look at Yarman with that kind of gaze?"
Fiona pouted and complained, then placed her small feet, encased in black pantyhose, over and gently rubbed them against the other person's calf.
How could a maid like herself not know what her bastard master was thinking?
The worst kind of owner is one who always makes you do their favors.
I don't like this at all...
"Yalman... irrelevant."
Hearing this, his lips twitched. If someone looked at his own knight commander like that, he should check if he was still in his right mind.
Breakfast quickly ended in this pleasant atmosphere.
Just like yesterday, Lucia and O'Ville ate and drank their fill, then took their water bags and headed to the wheat field to complete today's task.
Ron then led Fiona and Philia to the Valley Territory.
Ron, enjoying himself in the carriage, began to think about his plans for the day.
First, let Shemir and Muses smell all the materials. When we head to the Misty Forest, if they find the materials needed to make potions, they can go and pick them directly, which will save a lot of gold coins.
In addition, after the potions were distributed last night, the Holy Knights now numbered a full fifty. With the addition of Fria and her daughter Shemir, they could officially clear out the two orc strongholds in the Misty Forest.
Once the alien races on the outskirts of the Misty Forest are cleared out, lumberjacks can be immediately dispatched to the Misty Forest to cut timber, thus perfectly solving the problem of winter timber.
Once the alien races on the outskirts of the Misty Forest have been cleared out, Xue Mier can lead a team to contact the Ice Wolf pack and try to incorporate them into the territory.
"Whoo~"
Ron breathed a sigh of relief, filled with anticipation for the future of his territory....
Chapter 148 Let Shemir remember the scent of the materials! Heading towards the Misty Forest!
Under the sunlight, in the dense forest, a carriage came from the north, its rolling wheels crushing the dry branches on the ground as it headed towards the valley.
The swamp territory was not far from the valley territory, and with the road clear and unobstructed, they quickly arrived at their destination.
“Young Master Ron, everything was normal in the Valley Territory last night.”
As soon as he stepped off the carriage, Yarman came forward and respectfully reported on the events of the previous night.
In the first few days after conquering the valley, he barely slept, staying up until dawn before he could feel at ease.
Once the city walls were completed and the surrounding area was familiarized, he felt a little relieved and allowed his knights to patrol and keep watch as usual.
"Alright, gather all the Holy Knights together. We'll head to the Misty Forest to wipe out the orcs later."
Ron nodded, then gave the orders with a serious expression.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the order, Yarman immediately gave a knightly salute and turned to walk towards the knight camp.
"Master, please be careful when you head to the Misty Forest later."
Although Fiona already knew how powerful the man in front of her was, and how strong he had become, she was still somewhat worried about going to a place like the Misty Forest.
"how?"
Ron smiled, a smug look on his face, and said:
Are you worried about me?
"Otherwise, what would the maid do if something happened to that bastard master?"
Fiona pouted and gave the man a disdainful look;
"Of course, the maid herself wouldn't worry about such a thing, after all, a bastard like her master would never be in danger so easily."
That bastard Ron, asking such a stupid question! Of course I'm worried...
"Don't worry, I won't cause any problems until I make you a mother."
Ron leaned closer, grinning mischievously at his maid's face.
"You jerk, master! What nonsense are you spouting? A maid would never be a mother!"
Hearing this, Fiona blushed. She couldn't believe the man in front of her was becoming so shameless, actually saying such things...
Ron, that guy, he really had been looking forward to this for a while now!
But how could becoming a mother be so easy?
After all, they're not even married yet, how could they become mothers so easily?
"Shemir, Muses, come to my room. I need your help with something."
Ron stopped arguing with his maid and turned his attention to the two ice wolf girls.
Next, we'll go to the Misty Forest to clear out the orcs and hunt for some materials to make potions.
The materials that the merchant had sent earlier were not all used up; a small portion was left as a backup.
This is a good opportunity for Shemel and her daughter to smell it; if they're lucky, they might be able to gather a lot of materials.
This would save a lot of money, and always buying large quantities of materials from merchants would also make it easy to detect anything unusual.
After all, even if there are witches in the territory, there is no need to always buy materials in large quantities. In addition, the strength has improved very quickly, which makes it hard not to suspect whether he has mastered the recipe for the Holy Knight's potion.
Driven by enormous profits, the businessman might reveal this secret to a high-ranking nobleman.
If that's the case, then Ron is in danger.
So to avoid this from happening, it's best to find as many materials as possible, and only buy the rest from merchants. That way, there won't be any problems.
"Yes, sir!"
Sheri didn't know what the man wanted her and her daughter to do, but she nodded in agreement nonetheless.
Muses didn't refuse, but blushed and turned her face to the side, looking shy for some reason.
He seemed to be thinking about something strange.
After taking the potion yesterday, they grew a lot. In addition to their strength increasing by a level, their appearance also changed quite a bit.
First, the grayish-white down turned silvery-white, so that it could blend perfectly into the snow and be completely undetectable.
Her skin became more delicate and fair, and her rosy cheeks looked like they could be squeezed to release water.
Having reverted to their ancestral bloodline, possessing some of the Howling Moon Ice Wolf bloodline within them, they were extremely grateful to the man before them.
Therefore, they are unlikely to refuse anything the other party asks.
"Humans, what do you want them to do for you?"
Seeing the man staring at Shemir and Muses with that burning, lewd gaze, Fria frowned and glared at the man in front of her with an unfriendly expression.
He stared intently with those crimson vertical pupils, as if trying to see through everything about the other person.
This shameless human must want them to do strange things for him.
We will never let him succeed so easily.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Ron was surprised that Fria actually wanted to stand up for Shemir and Muses.
But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, they are all subhumans, and if they see someone being bullied, they might actually lend a helping hand.
"Of course, given your shamelessness, you might do something strange."
Fria gave her an expression that seemed to see right through her.
In her opinion, the man in front of her was definitely not up to any good if he asked Shemir and Muses for help.
They must have taken a liking to this mother and daughter, wanting to satisfy their strange inner desires.
Philia felt that the innocent and adorable Muses shouldn't be allowed to do anything strange to this man.
"Then you should come and help out too. I quite like having more people around."
Ron was telling the truth; he actually preferred a lively atmosphere to a quiet one.
It would be good to have Fria join us, since she has a strong sense of perception. Some materials are colorless and odorless, so she might be able to sense them through their physical form.
"No problem, I'll do my best to help you."
Fria smiled dismissively and did not refuse, because she knew that this man would never dare to act recklessly in front of her.
If that's the case, she'll let the other person know what it means to lose everything.
Seeing that Fria had come along, Shemir and Muses felt a little embarrassed.
