Chapter 103: Returning Home for Summer Vacation (9.6K large chapter, please subscribe)
I looked out the window and saw the sun was just rising.

Only one night has passed in the real world.

After all, the timing of this time travel was really unfriendly, and it was not easy to come back so quickly.

If Reed hadn't tricked Captain Jack, the son of destiny, into joining the search, he might have really wasted a lot of time.

It’s a pity that Li De really couldn’t be happy at this moment.

Who told him that the next mission would give him such a headache!

But Li De immediately shook his head. Now that he had encountered this situation and made the decision, he just needed to make preparations before setting off.

As for the departure time, Li De has not yet decided.

If you want to make the most of your time, it would be best to do it during next year's spring break.

Of course, you can also take time out during this summer vacation.

As for the short autumn and winter breaks, there is no need for this.

Because if everything goes well, it won't take more than a few days to complete the task.

If things don't go well, Li De will choose to use his points to give up the mission, which will be even faster.

The only thing that Li De didn't know was what the situation would be like if he used points to give up the task and accept it again.

It would be great if you could choose one of the three updated tasks again.

But if I choose to do any one of the two remaining tasks this time, that would be a bit bad.

Li De did not intend to accept the mission before thinking of possible response plans.

After lying in bed thinking for a while, footsteps were heard at the door.

As the knock on the door sounded, the voice of my cheap sister Claire also rang out.

"Sid!"

Standing up, Reed walked to the door and opened it, and saw Claire, who was wearing casual clothes, light makeup and dragging a suitcase.

"Sid, are you all packed?" Claire asked.

"Sister, didn't you agree to go back by yourself? Why did you come to find me?" Li De asked with some confusion.

"Is there anything wrong with going back together? Or do you want to stay here for a few more days because of Princess Alexia?" Claire asked Reed with a dangerous look in her eyes.

"Forget it, let's go together!" Reed had no intention of arguing with Claire on this issue.

As for the previous suggestion to go separately, it was just because Li De was worried that it would waste time if he carried out the mission directly, so he did not plan to return home with Claire.

"Hurry up!" Claire urged.

"I understand!" After saying that, Li De walked into the room, then picked up a bag and walked out.

Taking the suitcase handle from Claire, Reed put the bag on it and then closed the dormitory door.

"Let's go!" Li De then gestured.

"Yeah!" Claire, who was in a good mood at the moment, turned around, put her hands behind her back, and walked downstairs with a smile on her face.

Half a day later, the two of them returned to Barony Kageno by car.

Seeing their daughter and son come back, the Kagenos were naturally very happy.

After the family dinner, the family sat down in the pavilion outside the castle.

"Claire, you will graduate in half a year. Have you thought about that matter?" While gently waving the folding fan in her hand, Li De's adopted mother Maria Kageno (there is no name in the novel, it is made up) asked her adopted sister.

"Mother, I don't want to talk about this before graduation!" Claire refused in a very firm attitude.

"Claire, don't be willful. After graduating from the Magic Swordsman Academy, you will face the situation of engagement or even marriage. This is something that you must go through as a noble. What we can do is to provide you with as many choices as possible. You have to understand this." Maria's stepfather, Nix Kageno, also spoke.

After listening to what the bald man sitting not far away said, Claire remained silent.

If she had not been kidnapped more than two years ago, she would not have realized that she was possessed by a demon, but now the potential danger of being possessed by a demon made her very uneasy.

In addition, the matter of marriage also made her inexplicably irritated.

"Father, Mother, who is the one with the highest status among the people my sister can marry at the moment?" Li De asked.

As soon as Li De opened his mouth, he felt a dangerous gaze coming from not far away, and that direction happened to be where Claire was sitting.

"Sid is Viscount Harmon's second son!" Maria replied.

"Yes, because of Claire's outstanding performance in the previous two Martial God Festivals, there are many families seeking marriage in the past two years, and the man with the highest status at the moment is Viscount Harmon." Nix said with a smug smile, holding a whiskey glass in one hand.

"As for the Viscount, it seems that he is still a little short of it. After all, my sister is very outstanding!" Li De couldn't help but say after touching his chin.

"Pfft!"

While Reed was speaking, Knicks picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but before he could swallow it, he was choked by Reed's words.

In fact, for a country baron, being noticed by a central viscount family is already a great joy.

Even though they hoped to climb to a higher branch, both Knicks and Maria knew that it was impossible.

After all, it is impossible for children from families above the rank of earl to look down upon a baron's family in the countryside, especially if they want to marry into the family.

"Sid, Claire is indeed outstanding, but we are just an ordinary border baron family." Maria said helplessly.

"Why don't we wait a little longer? Alexia should be able to introduce someone with a higher status to my sister." Li De said slowly.

"Sid, are you talking about Princess Alexia?!" Knyx didn't even have time to taste the whiskey at this moment, and hurriedly asked Reed.

"Son, I've wanted to ask you this before. I heard that you and the princess are in love now, right?" Maria asked Li De with gossip in her eyes.

"It's not just love, she is my woman!" Li De said calmly.

"Your woman?!" ×3
Hearing Reed's answer, the three of them, including Claire, couldn't help but scream.

The only difference was that Knicks and Maria's eyes were filled with shock and fear, while Claire's eyes were filled with shock and danger.

Free love within the academy is not surprising. After all, this is the last youth of aristocratic children, and everyone has the right to leave the best memories.

But to be honest, there are not many nobles who would form intimate relationships within the academy.

Especially for women of high status, chastity is still very important to them.

So it was really hard for the Kagenos and Claire to imagine that the second princess was willing to commit herself to her son/brother.

"I'm also very good!" Li De spread his hands and said in the face of the incredible expressions of the three people.

"Son, I know you are very good, but..." Maria didn't know what words to use to express the shock in her heart.

After all, she herself did not think that her son was so outstanding that the second princess would fall in love with him.

"Sid, what's going on between you and Princess Alexia?" Nyx asked with a serious expression.

After he asked, Maria and Claire couldn't help but look at Reed.

"Actually, this story starts with the second son of Baron Imo and Baron Gary." Li De then recounted how he was envied by these two guys, Jaka and Yulo, who then impersonated him and sent a love letter to him.

"So that's the situation. I was wondering why you suddenly started dating Princess Alexia." Claire couldn't help but say coldly, with a more dangerous look in her eyes than before.

You have to know that Li De had no intention of dating girls in college before, otherwise he would not have repeatedly asked his sister to deal with the aftermath of the confession.

I didn't expect that the truth behind this matter would be this.

At this moment, no one noticed that Claire lowered her head slightly after speaking, and the dangerous look in her eyes became more and more intense.

"The situation doesn't allow me to refuse. After all, we're in the college cafeteria. If I said no, I would definitely be one of the people who would be expelled." Reed continued to explain to Knicks and Maria.

"Sid, you handled this matter perfectly." Knicks nodded. After all, it involved the face of the royal family, which was not something a small baron like him could afford.

"Honey, this matter is very dangerous!" Maria saw other aspects.

"In that situation, we had no choice but to accept it no matter how dangerous it was. Fortunately, Marquis Geno disappeared, otherwise we would have to be prepared to deal with a bad situation in two years." Knicks couldn't help but sigh.

"Sid, you haven't told me why Princess Alexia became your woman!" Claire cared more about this.

Looking at Claire's expression, Reed had a feeling that she was suppressing her emotions.

"Sister, didn't I say before that it's because I'm very good!" Li De said helplessly.

"Sid, I know you are very outstanding, but what exactly is it about you that attracts Princess Alexia? In addition, does Princess Alexia plan to make you her fiancé?" Maria asked with concern.

"Regarding the position of fiancé, Alexia has already made a preliminary plan. As for what attracted Alexia to me, it must be too strong!" Li De answered slowly.

"Too strong?!" After hearing this, Knicks looked at Reed with something strange in his eyes.

As soon as he saw the look in his cheap father's eyes, Li De knew that this guy was definitely thinking wrongly.

Well, that is indeed true, but it is only incidental.

"I was the one who killed the missing Marquis Geno." Li De said slowly.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Knicks' voice increased by several dozen decibels.

"Son, you can't talk nonsense about such things!" Maria said while looking around.

"Don't worry, mother. I can sense no one and come nearby to eavesdrop on our conversation." Reed signaled Maria to relax.

"Sid, why did you want to kill Teacher Geno?" Claire asked with some surprise and confusion.

"Actually, I am also helpless. After all, if I don't take action, it will be my turn to be unlucky, so I can only kill Geno in front of Alexia." Li De then explained the cause and effect of the matter.

"I didn't expect Geno Gulifi to be such a hypocritical and despicable guy." Claire said with murderous eyes after hearing this.

"Sister, hypocrisy and meanness are essential qualities of aristocrats. Geno did a good job in this regard. The only thing he did wrong was that he tried to implicate me, so he died." Li De smiled and said.

As for the murderous intent in Claire's eyes, Reed didn't care.

"Hehe, Sid, why haven't you shown your strength all this time?" Maria was very puzzled about this.

"I didn't want to influence my sister because of my excellence before, but the situation is different now, so I led the topic." Li De explained slowly.

Claire, who was standing by, was a little stunned when she heard this, and then there were many inexplicable expressions in her eyes.

"Is it because of Princess Alexia?" Nix couldn't help but ask.

"Not really. It's mainly because I learned a lesson from Geno's experience, which is that one cannot live without power and status." Li De shook his head and replied.

"So what are your plans?" Maria asked Li De.

"Didn't I mention it before? Alexia has made a preliminary plan to make me a marriage candidate. I plan to follow this plan first." Li De shook his head and said.

"What plan?!" Knicks couldn't help but ask with a serious expression. After all, this time he was climbing up the royal family's ladder.

"After this year's Martial God Festival, Alexia will come forward to form her own personal guard, and sister will become a member of the guard." Li De replied.

"And then what?" Maria certainly didn't think that this was all the Second Princess' plan was, so she asked quickly.

"With the Royal Guards, Alexia can carry out some activities that can accumulate military merit, such as conquering the Crimson Tower in the Lawless City." Reed continued.

"The Crimson Tower of the Lawless City? Isn't that the lair of vampires? And..." Knicks knew a lot of information about the Lawless City.

"Father, don't worry. The situation this year is special. The blood moon that only appears once every thousand years will appear again. If the surrounding kingdoms do not want to experience again the tragedy caused by vampires a thousand years ago, they will not stop someone from coming forward to exterminate the vampires." Reed knew what Knicks was worried about, so he explained.

"But Sid, those vampires are very dangerous, especially during the blood moon. There are legends of tragedies that happened thousands of years ago," Maria said worriedly.

"Mother, no matter how powerful the vampire is, can he be as powerful as the dragon whose territory is next to the depths of the Misty Mountains?" Li De couldn't help but ask.

"Is there a dragon deep in the Misty Mountains?" Knys was shocked, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

"Don't worry. More than a year ago, I went to the depths of the mountains to compete with it. We ended up in a draw. It recognized my strength, so it won't come to my territory to make trouble. The magic dragon is not a fool. It knows that in terms of strength growth, it can't compare with me." Li De said, pressing his hands into the air.

"Is that so? My dear son, next time you tell me such shocking news, give me some mental preparation." Knicks said after letting out a long sigh.

"I understand. Now let's get back to the topic. Alexia's plan is to establish a personal guard first. In this way, she can gain military merit for the members of the personal guard and then obtain titles. And the attack on the Crimson Tower is only the beginning. The subsequent bandit groups across the kingdom are also within the range of attack. Only in this way can we hope to win a title for my sister after she graduates." Li De said.

"My title? Why?" Claire asked in confusion. After all, in her opinion, if Alexia wanted to fight for it, she should fight for her younger brother.

"Sister, once you have the title, I can legitimately inherit the baronship." Reed said after looking at Claire speechlessly.

"Isn't this different?" Claire still didn't understand the twists and turns.

"Sister, your obtaining of the title proves your strength and ability. Later, as long as you develop Alexia's personal guard into a personal guard regiment and then serve as the regiment leader, Alexia can list me as a marriage candidate in the name of winning you over." Li De did not show impatience, but explained slowly and unhurriedly.

"Sid, Princess Alexia doesn't want the outside world to know your strength?" Claire didn't know, but Nix saw clearly what Alexia's intention was. "That's right, after all, she doesn't want to compete for the throne with her sister, the eldest princess Alice, whom she likes and admires." Li De nodded.

After hearing what Reed said, Nixon immediately understood Alexia's plan.

Because once Alexia's strength is too strong, other nobles will most likely have some inappropriate thoughts.

By then, Alexia might be pushed to the top, and then she would inevitably compete with the eldest princess Alice.

It is possible that sisters may turn against each other and become enemies.

That's why Alexia came up with this plan.

After all, no matter how strong Claire is, her strength is still within everyone's understanding.

As long as she is not apparently stronger than Princess Alice, the strongest person in the kingdom, there will be no big problem.

"Sid, it's not that easy for the Royal Guard to become the Royal Guard Corps! The money required is not a small amount." Knicks couldn't help but say after thinking about it.

"Of course I know this, and that's why we have to accumulate military merit for my sister. Both the Crimson Tower and the bandit groups in the kingdom have some savings. Once they are wiped out, there will definitely be a substantial income. Recruiting a few hundred people shouldn't be a problem at that time, as long as we can hold on until our fiancé is confirmed." Li De certainly knew that it took wealth to maintain an army.

But the core of this plan is that Alexia needs a name to win over Claire, not to develop and expand the Royal Guard.

"Sid, this is not just a matter of money. Once hundreds of knights gather together, they will definitely have demands." Knicks couldn't help but remind.

"Father, what Alexia formed is the Royal Guard, not the Knights Order affiliated with her. Although the functions are similar, there are actually essential differences. If it is a Knights Order, then knights must be recruited, but if it is the Royal Guard, then the scope of recruitment can be slightly relaxed." Reed nodded. After all, he and Alexia had discussed this matter carefully.

"Are you saying that the scope of conscription should be expanded to include other races?" Knicks was not stupid, and of course he understood what Reed meant.

"Yes, as long as they are not nobles of their own country, no matter how many people they have, they are not qualified to demand rights." Li De nodded.

"Will this not be a good reputation?" Knicks couldn't help but say.

"As long as it's not Alexia who comes forward in person, but my sister who sets up the organization, there shouldn't be any problem." Li De said slowly.

"But Sid, both the Royal Guards and the Knights need funds and bases, and the source of funds must be stable. Even if hundreds of people are not knights, the expenditure is still not a small amount. Can Princess Alexia afford this amount of money?" Nix couldn't help but ask.

"Alexia has already thought about this. As long as your sister is conferred the title, she will grant part of the territory that once belonged to Viscount Olba for the purpose of maintaining troops. In this way, the problem of the stationing of the Royal Guard will be solved. As for the funding, don't worry. Alexia already has a supporter with huge financial resources." Li De answered slowly.

"But this seems far from enough!" Knicks couldn't help but say, touching his chin.

"But what if your sister is the one who solves the financial problem?" Li De said.

"That makes sense." Knicks nodded.

After all, even as a princess, the financial resources she can mobilize are limited, at least not enough to support a knight order.

Therefore, once Claire showed that she could provide Alexia with the financial resources to support a knight order, even if she was just a matchmaker, it would be enough for Alexia to pay attention to her to a certain extent.

Under such circumstances, in order to win over Claire, a strong man with both practical and financial resources, it is quite reasonable to choose Reed as the object of marriage.

After all, Alexia's marriage partner can be anyone who is beneficial to the royal rule, and compared to Geno, who is too involved, Claire, who was promoted by Alexia herself, is more worth winning over.

Especially after Claire demonstrated her financial resources and connections and built up the Royal Guard, it was not completely unacceptable for Alexia to choose Reed as her fiancé.

After all, Claire will show her brother-supporting nature to the outside world next.

So if you want to win her over, you just need to win over Li De.

This is also the most appropriate excuse for Alexia to make Li De a marriage candidate.

Of course, Alexia must show enough stubbornness to withstand the pressure and achieve her goal. It is not as simple as Li De said at this moment.

You have to know that she is the second princess, a member of the royal family who is second in line to the throne. Which nobleman would not want to marry her?

After all, if something unexpected happens to the first-in-line heir, wouldn't Alexia be qualified to inherit the throne?

"The territory of Viscount Olba?" Claire was no stranger to this name. After all, more than two years ago, she was captured by Viscount Olba and taken to an abandoned mine in his territory to inquire about the demon-possessed person.

When Claire thought of the person possessed by the devil, her eyes couldn't help but dim.

"Sister, I have already cured you of the problem of being possessed by the devil." Li De said suddenly.

"Sid, what did you say?!" Claire looked at Reed in shock when she heard that.

At this moment, not only Claire, but also Knicks and Maria were shocked.

One was surprised that his daughter was actually the unknown demon-possessed person mentioned in the church's propaganda, and the other was shocked that his son could be cured.

"Although I don't know the reason why the cult deliberately discredits those possessed by demons, this is actually a kind of blood awakening. Of course, since the person himself does not know it, there is no question of control, so the magic power will run wild and cause the body to collapse. After understanding the essence, it will naturally not be difficult to find targeted solutions." Li De explained slowly.

"Sid, you said that the person possessed by the devil has his bloodline awakened?" Claire asked again to confirm.

"Yes, and if I'm not mistaken, all the demon-possessed people are descendants of the three heroes who once fought against Diabolos." Reed continued.

"But why does the sect persecute the descendants of the three heroes?" Maria asked puzzledly.

"I didn't investigate further on this point. After all, the cult is a behemoth. In-depth research will most likely lead to conflicts with it. Knowing too much about things related to historical truth will do more harm than good." Li De spread his hands, indicating that he did not investigate too deeply.

"It's better this way. After all, it will be very troublesome if we provoke such a giant." Knicks nodded.

After all, this truth has no meaning at all to the Kageno family. It can even be said that it is harmful but not beneficial.

"So, sister, you don't need to worry about the hidden dangers in your body at all." Li De continued.

"I understand. Thank you, my dear brother!" The gloom on Claire's face was gone at this moment.

Others might not believe it, but Claire still trusts her brother very much.

"You're welcome, sister!" Li De shook his head and said.

"By the way, are you sure about conquering the Crimson Tower during the blood moon?" Claire asked about something she hadn't paid attention to before.

"Don't worry, I have already solved the most difficult hidden danger of the bloodthirsty princess in advance. When the time comes, we just need to get rid of the vampires in the Crimson Tower. The weakness of these vampires lies in their hearts, so it is not difficult to kill them. In addition, I will give you special training during the rest of the vacation.

After the special training is completed, I think even if you meet Princess Alice at the Martial God Festival, you will not be inferior to her, but you must not try to defeat her. The only person in the kingdom who can defeat her can only be a member of the royal family, or a member of an aristocratic faction that is holding the royal family in check." Li De couldn't help but remind her.

After all, Alice can be defeated by people outside the kingdom, but within the kingdom, the eldest princess at least cannot be defeated by the eldest daughter of a country noble.

This is also the reason why Li De reminded us of this.

"I know this. By the way, when are we going to Impossible City to attack the Crimson Tower?" Claire asked curiously.

"During the autumn holiday after the Martial God Festival, once we have conquered the Crimson Tower, we can use the thousand-year savings of the vampires to start forming a personal guard. Once the personal guard becomes famous, naturally there will be a chamber of commerce that will approach you to discuss sponsorship." Li De calmly stated the subsequent arrangements.

"I understand!" Claire nodded.

"This is really great. I didn't expect that your generation would be able to be won over by the royal family. This way, the future growth of the family is just around the corner." Knicks said happily.

"Father, we can achieve a small goal in advance, such as upgrading the barony to earldom first." Li De cooperated.

"Is this possible? Even if Viscount Olba's territory is annexed later, it will still be far less than the size of the Earldom, right?" Nix couldn't help but frown.

"There is no need to target Viscount Olba's territory. In fact, for us, as long as we can expand our sphere of influence to the Misty Mountains, even a duchy will be more than enough." Reed shook his head and said.

"Of course I know this, but the Misty Mountains are not so easy to expand!" Knicks certainly knows the potential of his territory, but to realize that potential requires the strength to overcome everything.

"The outermost area of ​​the Misty Mountains, which is bordering our territory, is a circle of wild beasts. Beyond this circle is the area where the orc tribes are active. I believe that if we provide our own military funds, the kingdom will definitely support our plan to expand our territory. Although it is definitely unrealistic to take over the earldom in one go, it should not be difficult to expel some orcs and take over the viscountdom. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Li De spoke of his plan slowly.

But there was one thing he didn't say, that is, among the expelled orc tribes, except for the able-bodied men who would become the source of soldiers for the Royal Guards, the other old and weak would be sent to the headquarters of the Shadow Courtyard.

At the base camp, many girls with good combat power actually do most of their daily work by farming. In Li De's opinion, this is a bit of a waste of combat power.

Therefore, Li De has been considering increasing the labor force at the base camp.

Anyway, the base camp is surrounded by the breath of the magic dragon, and ordinary orcs cannot pass through the poisonous gas circle at all, so as long as they are brought into the base camp, there is no need to worry about these orcs causing any trouble.

In addition, orcs admire the strong, and what the base camp lacks the least is strong and powerful people.

As for their own side, they obtained the territory left behind after the orcs were packed up and taken away.

The Shadow Courtyard received labor reinforcements, the Royal Guards received manpower, and his own family received territory. It can be said that except for those orcs who did not volunteer to be ruled, Li De was able to achieve a win-win-win situation in this matter.

Of course, considering that he can also take this opportunity to push his sister Claire up and gain a piece of the viscount's territory, and then become Alexia's fiancé and be tied to the royal family, this is no longer as simple as a win-win-win situation.

However, all of this is just a preliminary plan at present, and it is still unknown what the specific future will be like.

But as long as we can advance step by step, the rise of the Kageno family will be unstoppable.

"It would be great if we could achieve what you said, but the orcs in the mountains are not so easy to drive out!" Knyx couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry. Since we have to do it, we must not give the orcs a chance to counterattack," Li De said lightly.

Although he meant to transfer the orcs, to Nyx it sounded like a massacre.

After frowning slightly, Knicks didn't say anything.

After all, sacrifices in pioneering wars are inevitable, and for the sake of family interests, a bit of darkness and bloodiness is completely acceptable.

The next morning, Reed, Claire and Nyx went to the Misty Mountains next to the territory.

Reed's original plan was to take his step-sister Claire for special training. As for the Knicks, he wanted to see how strong Reed was.

boom!
After Reed drew his sword and slashed the ground, leaving a crack several meters deep and hundreds of meters long, Knicks set out on the road back to the territory with excitement and disappointment.

After sending Knicks away, Reed started special training with Claire.

During this summer vacation, Li De needs to teach her a lot of things.

After all, the stronger Claire is, the more meaningful Alexia's plan will be.

Of course, Claire was also very clear about this. After all, Reed had made it very clear during the conversation in the garden last night.

She agreed with her brother's efforts to obtain a title, but she
Bang!
Along with the sound, Claire was swung away by the wooden stick in Reed's hand.

"Come again!"

Claire twisted her body in mid-air, tapped the ground with her feet, and rushed up again.

After seeing Reed swing the stick again, Claire's body began to sway along the airflow generated by Reed's movement.

After dodging several times, Claire was hit by the stick again.

"Come again!"

"Okay, sister, that's enough for today. The Six Styles cannot be mastered in a short period of time."

Yes, Li De's special training this time mainly has two aspects. One is the delicate use of magic power in swordsmanship, and the other is the practice of [Shaving], [Moon Step] and [Paper Drawing] among the Six Styles.

The former is mainly to increase attack power in battle, while the latter is to improve movement and evasion in battle.

In the short term, these are the only two ways that Reed can think of to quickly increase Claire's strength.

As for other things, such as magic, they certainly cannot be taught, at least not now, but meditation methods to increase mental strength can be taught.

"Okay, let's continue tomorrow!" Claire said, rubbing her swollen cheeks.

"I'm sorry, sister. Starting tomorrow, I have to leave for a while to deal with something." After using magic to heal the injuries on Claire's face, Reed spoke.

"What's the matter?" Claire couldn't help but ask.

"You're going to explore a relic. I heard there's a lot of treasure hidden there. I won't tell you the details. Anyway, I'll be away for a few days. If my parents ask you about it, just tell them that I went to the capital to find Alexia." Although Reed didn't tell the truth, he didn't fool Claire.

After all, going to the Lord of the Rings world to carry out missions does allow you to collect wealth along the way.

Yes, Reed decided to take some time before the end of the summer vacation to carry out the task of recovering the One Ring.

The reason why Li De chose to carry out this mission was mainly because he was attracted by the enormous wealth in Gushan.

For Li De, this wealth is worth tens of trillions or even more. Once he gets it, he will not have to worry about wealth, whether in the real world or in other mission worlds in the future.

"Sid, there won't be any danger, right?" Claire asked Reed with a little concern.

"Don't worry, sister, there will be no problem." Li De said confidently. After all, if things are impossible, the worst that can happen is to run away.

"Okay, since you said so, I won't ask anymore. When my father and mother ask, I will explain to them." Claire nodded and said.

"Well, then I'll leave first." After saying that, Reed kicked off on the spot, and then his whole body rushed into the air. After advancing several times with the Moon Step, he disappeared from Claire's sight.

Looking at the direction where Li De left, Claire couldn't help but whispered: "No matter what, we need to become stronger!"

On the other side, after leaving Claire's sight, Reed directly accepted the task.

Reed did not intend to bring anyone with him on the mission to recover the One Ring. After all, Reed did not know whether there would be any unexpected problems when recovering the One Ring.

In addition, it is much more convenient for Li De to act alone on this mission than to take others with him.
