Lord: Starting from the Pit-Dwelling Courtyard

Chapter 123: Teaching

"Then Vivian's test must have been wrong. Her mother was a serf, how could she have any knightly talent?" an older female knight said matter-of-factly.

Seeing the other person's expression, Ron almost burst out laughing.

A knightly order composed of women, secretly harboring various smaller cliques.

Vivian was probably one of the victims of bullying.

Caroline frowned slightly, glared at the other person, and gestured for them to shut up.

"Lord Ron, you flatter me!"

Ron smiled and waved his hand, looking at the female knight named Vivian.

The other person looked to be in their early twenties, tall, with fair skin and a head of golden hair piled high. In terms of appearance, they were among the top in the Rose Knights.

You can't tell at all that he came from a serf background.

Ron pointed to the crystal pillar: "Let's do the test again."

Vivian glanced at Caroline instinctively, and Caroline nodded slightly.

"What kind of talent could a serf's daughter have?" Bobby's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone around to hear. "The testing crystal must have been blinded by someone's face."

Ron heard it, even though it wasn't spoken loudly.

Caroline heard this too, and her face turned even uglier. If the other person's father hadn't been a border viscount, she would have thrown him out long ago.

To avoid embarrassing the Rose Knights here.

"Bobby! Say less!" Lilika quickly pulled her distant cousin back.

Vivian, cultivation level: mid-stage formal knight

Physical condition: 23

Power: 29

Spirit: 11

Life Force: 167

Major: Earth Breathing Technique.

She has exceptional talent, but as a woman, she is at a natural disadvantage in cultivating breathing techniques. In addition, the attributes of the breathing technique she cultivates are incompatible with her own, so she has reached her current level, which is already the limit. If she were to advance any further, her life would be in danger. Switching to a female-specific knight breathing technique that suits her attributes would solve the problem.

After reading it, Ron finally managed to utter a sentence after a long pause: "Vice Commander Caroline, is your promise to leave me a few knights to assist me in defending the city still valid?"

Caroline nodded, glancing thoughtfully at Vivian.

Putting everything else aside, just in terms of looks alone, Vivian could be considered the most beautiful member of the Rose Knights.

Countless nobles admired her, but the lord had sworn an oath that the Rose Knights would be her sword, not a vase.

No matter how many noble lords requested female knights from the Rose Knights, none of them ever gave one away.

This would never have happened if the lord hadn't sent a small squad of the Rose Knights to assist Ashwood in defending the city.

"That's right!"

Ron immediately picked Vivian and Amy, and then randomly picked a few more to make a total of ten people.

Caroline's lips twitched slightly after reading the list. Of the ten people Ron had chosen, not one was an Earth Knight, yet they were the most outstanding-looking group on this trip.

Caroline reminded him, "Lord Ron, they are only assisting you in defending the city. After the war, they will return to the Rose Knights. They are only responsible for fighting, not for anything else."

"Don't worry!" Ron readily agreed, but the fanatical look in his eyes as he looked at Vivian made it hard to believe a word he said.

Caroline nodded with a complicated expression. After a quick rest and replenishing their water supply, she led her team away to avoid being trapped in Ashwood Territory.

Ten female knights, including Vivian, stood quietly in a row, awaiting Ron's orders.

Ron, meanwhile, was looking at the system panel and couldn't help but laugh out loud, but his deliberate attempt to suppress it only made him seem sleazy.

"Earth Breathing Technique, Earth Grade; Gale Breathing Technique, Profound Grade; Bear Breathing Technique..."

This test added eighteen new breathing techniques to Ron's repertoire that were not previously included.

Among them, there is one Earth-grade, three Black-grade, and fourteen Yellow-grade breathing techniques. These breathing techniques greatly expand the learning library, especially the Green Wood Breathing Technique of the Wood element.

Although it is only a yellow-grade item, it is enough to solve many knights' problems with improving their cultivation and dealing with hidden injuries.

"My lord!" Will called out softly.

Ron snapped out of his daze and nodded to Will.

"Bring Vivian to the castle's training hall tonight."

Vivian's pupils contracted slightly, and her knuckles gripping the sword hilt turned white. She had seen far too many nobles with that look in their eyes when they said, "Let's talk tonight."

Ron's eyes were different, but her body tensed up before her mind.

The other female knights also looked grim.

They never imagined that Lord Ron was such a beast.

As Ron came from the basement of the military camp, Old Hall ran up to him: "Young Master, the Border Lord has sent ten carts of iron ingots, twenty carts of grain totaling 20,000 catties, and twenty carts of various daily necessities."

Ron waved his hand and asked, "What's the goblin reaction?"

Old Hall said gravely, "No, but the lookouts have sent back new information: a large force of goblins has entered the camp, numbering at least 30,000."

"Oh!" Ron replied casually, glancing at the distance outside the city wall. "What a pity, it's a full six hundred meters away from us."

Old Hall naturally understood what Ron was planning, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Young master, the catapult you designed is already very powerful, four hundred meters is already the limit."

Ron shook his head and said, "Pass the word down that the soldiers should get some rest. There will be tough battles starting tomorrow."

"yes!"

As soon as the sun set, Will led Vivian to Ron's lord's room.

To ensure his room was cool, Ron chose a room in the very center of the castle, with no windows around it, only moonlight filtering in through the skylight pipes.

"My lord! I have brought Sir Vivian with me."

Will's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!" Ron, wearing a vest and shorts, swaggered down in front of the ventilation duct.

This ventilation duct is located above the castle passageway, so it's not noticeable even if you look up. For aesthetic reasons, it blends perfectly with the passageway ceiling.

The ventilation duct leads directly to the air intake outside the castle. Because the duct is very long and each section has exhaust fans to draw air, the hot air gradually cools down as it passes through the stone duct. By the time it reaches the ventilation duct in Ron's room, the hot air has turned into cool air.

As for the power of the exhaust fan, the castle maids take turns pedaling it, similar to an exercise bike, except that the rear wheels have belts to drive the exhaust fan. Fortunately, it's a large wheel driving a small wheel, so it's effortless and spins quickly.

Mrs. Moriel had trained many maids before, but the pit house was too small to accommodate so many people. Now that there was a castle, Mrs. Moriel naturally squeezed them all in.

There is an air outlet in the ceiling duct of the room, and the ventilation duct is located directly opposite the ceiling duct, which perfectly creates a siphon effect in the room, allowing the air in the room to circulate.

Seeing Ron's attire, Vivian's face darkened even more. She hadn't expected Lord Ron to be so lustful, unable to even restrain himself for one night.

Vivian, enraged, demanded, "Lord Ron, I am a knight, not a maid."

Will lowered his head somewhat awkwardly: "My lord, I shall take my leave now."

When Ron heard Will was about to leave, he quickly stopped him: "Why are you leaving? I called you here because I have something to give you."
