Chapter 11 Follow-up Process
Rhodes tried to sign a [Pasture Contract] with the Ice Blade Wolf in front of him, but was rejected.

It's not surprising. This demon wolf is quite intelligent. During the process of being raised by Peggy, it has accumulated enough dependence and loyalty.

After seeing Rhodes kill its master, anger and hatred were revealed in its cloudy eyes, and it was naturally impossible for it to obey.

Without wasting any more time, Rhodes drew his sword and pierced its head cleanly, sending it to see Peggy.

At the same time, he took out a quartz tube from his waist and collected the red and white slurry mixture flowing out of the Ice Blade Wolf's head.

The brain, cerebrospinal fluid and heart blood of the demon wolf are nourished by a high-quality black wolfberry and harmonized with magic power.

The most crucial thing is to use the soul of the Ice Blade Wolf that has not dissipated after its death as a catalyst, so that the medicinal effects can be successfully integrated together to form a magic potion.

[Name: Ice Blade Wolf Evolution Potion]

[Quality: First-class ordinary]

[Effect: A fairly successful potion that can give ordinary wolves a 50% chance of evolving into Ice Blade Fang Wolves.]

Rhodes shook the quartz tube, and the milky white liquid inside bubbled slightly.

This potion involves the extraction and blending of souls, which is quite difficult. Rhodes was only qualified to try it not long ago.

It's considered good luck to succeed once, and the subsequent 50% chance is within an acceptable range.

After successfully completing an operation on the soul, according to the standards of the wizard's guide, I am now considered to have entered the category of a formal wizard.

According to the four major levels of wizards (knowledge/miracle/truth/paradox), everyone from formal wizards to demigods belongs to the first stage - the knowledgeable wizard.

That is, the stage of continuous learning and increasing one's own knowledge.

The subdivisions of this stage vary according to the actual conditions of different worlds, and Rhodes can only establish his own standards.

He set the standard for the first level of a knowledgeable wizard as the degree of mastery over the soul, and he himself was currently in the early stages of the first level.

After dealing with the Ice Blade Wolf, Rhodes asked his soldiers to cut up and stew the meat, preparing a snack tonight to celebrate the victory.

After looking around and making sure everything was taken care of, he walked towards the small castle at the back.

The wounded needed to recuperate in the village for two days, so they were stationed in the open space outside the castle.

Naturally, he temporarily requisitioned this small castle as his residence.

Rhodes believed that the baron down there wouldn't mind.

A long table was temporarily set up in the open space in the center of the village. Two knight attendants were sitting behind it, taking notes with pens.

“一头成年的猪市价4银币，两只母鸡市价1银币20铜币，被抢走财产1银币80铜币。”

The knight's squire recorded what the couple said.

After confirming the animal skeleton they handed over, I ticked the box and then took the money out of the cash box and handed it to them.

The couple took the silver coins with trembling hands, unable to believe that even the loss of livestock could be compensated.

"God, that's great, Anna! Now our family can spend this winter safely."

After actually getting the money, the husband hugged his wife tightly with tears in his eyes.

Those livestock and savings were the guarantee for their family of eight, across three generations, to get through the winter.

After being robbed by thieves, he was already in despair and never expected to get it back in this way.

It was not until they were anxiously pushed by the people queuing behind them that the couple hurriedly made way for them, bowed repeatedly to the knight's entourage and the castle before leaving.

"Next." The knight's squire shouted.

When I saw the villagers looking at me with eyes filled with gratitude and respect, I couldn't help but straighten my back and feel happy.

This is exactly his ideal knight path.

Follow the powerful and brave lord to eliminate evil all the way, set foot in the north, and create their own legend.

He couldn't help laughing when he thought of the disdain and pity that the other companions in the castle gave him before they set out.

On the other side of the long table, Village Chief Luke was staring at the villagers reporting their losses.

Especially those hooligans who are idle and do nothing on weekdays, if they dare to lie, they will be beaten by him and other villagers.

He clearly remembered the instructions that adult had given him before, neither more nor less.

Village chief Luke went to the city to work hard when he was young and came into contact with all kinds of people. Therefore, he could vaguely feel the indescribable majesty behind the kindness of that adult, which made him afraid.

That is the indifference called order.

He couldn't say it, but from the bottom of his heart he didn't dare to disobey and supervised the villagers carefully.

The line for the long table continued.

Since the villagers’ losses were mostly due to stolen livestock, a large portion of which had not yet been dealt with by the thieves, they can come and claim them.

So after a burst of excitement, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Having completed his mission, village chief Luke finally relaxed and returned home.

As his wife helped him undress, he remembered the other task the adult had given him and shouted towards the inner room.

"Lily, bring the 'white bread' here."

Hearing her father's shout, the sixteen-year-old girl Lily began to stomp her feet.

After opening the door, he came over holding a half-grown wolfhound.

"Dad, White Bread's leg was broken while he was trying to save me. I'm bandaging it now!" She held up the half-grown wolfhound.

The latter raised its bandaged forelimbs and made pitiful whimpering sounds.

"This?" Village chief Luke was a little dumbfounded.

"What's wrong, dear?" His wife massaged his head puzzledly.

"That gentleman asked me to bring over an underage wolfhound. All the wolfhounds in the village were killed by the bandits. Only the white bread at home is suitable."

Village chief Luke sat on the chair with a headache and took out two silver coins and put them on the table, "This is the money paid by that adult."

"Does the knight want to eat dog meat?" Lily asked cautiously, holding the white bread in her arms.

"No, he said he wanted to raise one to try. I think it was because of that demon wolf."

Village chief Luke explained, wanting to take the wolfhound from his daughter and send it to the castle.

But Lily's eyes sparkled, and she ran out before him, holding the white bread, and shouted without looking back:

"I'll send it over right away. Don't worry, Dad. Leave it to me!"

"Wait, come back here! Do you hear me, Lily?" Village chief Luke slammed the table in anger.

He stood up to stop her, but saw that his daughter had already run away.

"This damn girl, are those noble masters so easy to approach? This is crazy."

Village chief Luke cursed but had no choice but to sit back.

He began to regret telling his daughter about the prosperity he saw in the big city.

From the name Lily gave to the wolfhound, White Bread, he knew that his daughter had thoughts that were inappropriate for her status.

And now, when opportunities come to me, I can’t wait to take them.

"Is anything going to happen to Lily?" Thinking of what happened to Lily not long ago, the wife began to worry.

"Don't worry, nothing serious will happen." Village Chief Luke sighed, "But you'd better think about it in advance. If she runs home crying with a big belly, how will you comfort her?"

"What about the child from Bill's family next door? They grew up together, and we were planning to marry Lily to them, weren't we?" the wife asked worriedly.

"Don't mention that bastard to me!" Village Chief Luke had a gloomy expression. "When Lily was almost insulted, where was that kid? He hid in the corner and didn't even dare to fart! How dare he mention this?"
