Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 532 - 272: The Knights’ Remorse (Part 2)

"Ah, fate, hahaha!"

The old Count laughed heartily, "I like this word for luck."

Seeing the cheerful old Count, Luo De took the initiative to stand up,

"Lord Earl, the most important thing for you now is to try to operate and sort out that energy so that the seeds of nature can fully absorb it."

"Once the turbulent energy has calmed, you can attempt to practice the Ember Breathing Technique."

"I imagine you must be quite anxious now."

Luo De held Vivian’s small hand, "So we’ll postpone our lunch to next time, giving you more time to restore your body."

"Good child, you are indeed a good child!"

The smile on the old Count’s face gathered all the wrinkles on his face,

"Then I’ll head back to my room first and won’t be joining you two for lunch."

"Restoring my health is paramount."

Luo De nodded, then walked out of the reception room.

The guards, upon seeing Luo De, immediately bowed and saluted,

"Lord Luo De."

Overnight, Luo De’s reputation had spread throughout Red Griffin Castle.

Even those who hadn’t seen him in person had heard of him from others.

The guards, in particular, were extremely respectful towards Luo De.

Luo De nodded in response and instructed, "Lord Earl needs to rest, please escort him back to his room."

"Yes, Lord Luo De."

The guards saluted again, then entered the reception room to lift the old Count and carry him back to his room upstairs.

Luo De, under Vivian’s guidance, went directly to the dining room.

Though it was merely a pretense, Vivian unceremoniously ordered the servants to serve the meal.

It must be said, though Luo De had begun to acquire wealth, the dishes at this banquet couldn’t compare to those of the well-established Red Griffin Clan.

All the utensils were silver, and besides the usual grilled meat and vegetables, Luo De saw a whole grilled bird adorned with a feathered crown.

The other roast meats and white bread shimmered with a layer of gold dust.

The desserts were also abundant: candied rose petals, honey nut balls, almond milk pudding, and sugar castles...

The long dining table was filled with dishes, many of which were unfamiliar to Luo De.

"Just the two of us eating, what a waste..."

Luo De whispered in awe beside Vivian.

"Waste is also a way for nobles to display their nobility."

Vivian tilted her head and softly replied, "You’ve contributed so much, so naturally my father expresses his gratitude with the finest food, even if it’s wasteful, it’s a sign of appreciation."

Luo De nodded slightly to show his understanding.

In his previous life, whenever there were guests at home, even if it was just one person, a large table of dishes would be made.

Then, for the next week, Luo De would have to eat leftovers.

Of course, in this world, noble lords wouldn’t eat leftovers, and what remained would become the meal for some fortunate servants.

Luo De was not shy, grabbing a plate and strolling along the table, asking the servants to cut a piece of every dish for him to taste.

Luckily, Luo De’s appetite was quite large.

Perhaps due to the large consumption from last night or having missed breakfast, Luo De ate for a very long time.

To not waste the food, Luo De invited Garrick and other knights such as Sao, who then proceeded to finish off most of the dishes.

Especially the sweet desserts like candied honey, none were left.

After dining, Garrick accompanied Luo De for a tour of Red Griffin Castle.

From the main castle to the forging workshop, from the front yard walls to the back yard towers, they visited everywhere except for the maid dormitory, even seeing the stables.

The assembled soldiers, servants, and craftsmen totaled up to three hundred people, not counting those killed last night.

If Garrick hadn’t participated last night, victory wouldn’t have been so easy relying only on the mountain lynx people.

Besides Garrick, Red Griffin Castle had two intermediate knights and fourteen junior knights.

Additionally, two high-ranking knights and three intermediates were stationed in other towns and checkpoints.

Two more intermediate knights and seven junior knights were imprisoned in the dungeon.

It must be said, this place indeed was much wealthier than the Northern Province, with many more capable individuals.

Even the hereditary Count of the Hawk Clan couldn’t compare with the Red Griffin Clan.

After the tour, Luo De handed Garrick another list.

The list noted three other knights and a baron related to Susanna.

Susanna was dead, and these people needed to be properly dealt with.

Avril’s uncle, Viscount Tain, was fighting on the southern front, so he couldn’t be dealt with for now.

Meanwhile, because of the upheaval last night, Red Griffin Castle lacked a lot of guards, prompting Luo De to remind Garrick to promptly select some excellent soldiers to fill in.

Garrick showed no surprise at Luo De managing Red Griffin Castle’s affairs, nor did he resist, only responding with "As you command."

This was not only due to respecting strength but also because Garrick knew some insider information that others did not.

This Lord Luo De could very well control everything in the future, and Garrick felt he had to seize the opportunity.

After arranging everything, Luo De returned to his newly prepared room—Avril’s bedroom.

The fiancée’s boudoir was a mysterious secret realm for Luo De, with everything inside so intriguing to him.

However, Luo De barely began his exploration when there was a soft knock on the door.

"My lord, it’s me, Vika."

Vika’s respectful voice came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Luo De replied briefly.

Vika pushed the door open and entered, followed by a young man looking just over twenty.

The young man was somewhat slender, wearing a simple brown leather armor.

Vika bowed and introduced,

"My lord, this is Kent Greyblade, his father is Kotaron Greyblade."
