As soon as Brian arrived at the door of the Duke's study, he was stopped by the guard and told that Duke Horsman was not in the study but had gone to the training ground.

Brian was not surprised. After all, Duke Horsman was also a martial arts practitioner and an earth knight himself.

When he was young, he also led an army and fought on the battlefield as a commander-in-chief.

If he had not disagreed with the current Frankish king's political views, he might still be serving as military minister in the royal capital.

Brian turned around and came to the training ground, only to see Sean Black and Dils Horton Knight training their guards.

And his father, Duke Horsman, was watching from a distance, giving some pointers from time to time.

Knights Sean Black and Dils Horton also accepted it humbly. Are they able to hear the methods of training soldiers of great nobles?

The two words of advice given by Duke Horsman today are enough for them to use for a lifetime.

When Brian came over, Sean Black and Dils Horton Knight immediately stopped what they were doing and saluted their lord.

After all, Brian is their boss, the only person they loyal to.

The iron law of feudal society is that the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals.

They won't change just because Brian's father is a duke. Even if they respect Duke Horsman, they will only obey Brian's orders.

Brian smiled and nodded to them, indicating that they should continue training, then turned around and came to Duke Horsman, saluted and handed the letter from Aunt Lina to him.

Duke Horsman said with emotion after reading the letter at a glance.

"I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would even prepare the construction team to dig the canal. It seems that it is inevitable.

It's a pity that he will never have the chance to see the day when the canal is connected. Brian, you must fulfill your uncle's last wish."

"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely let the canal be connected. Asaman's engineering team will arrive at Landsburg in two days.

I want the Griffin Knights to take me back to Lansburgh, meet with them, and at least participate in the canal's groundbreaking ceremony to show my presence as the actual manager of Lansburgh."

Duke Horsman frowned and said in thought.

"You also know that in order to ensure flexibility and speed when flying, griffon knights usually do not carry people with them. Even if they are carrying letters and items, they will use storage equipment.

Carrying two adult men at the same time, the Griffin's speed will definitely slow down, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will be back within one day.

I have told your grandfather, Count de Guzman, about your magical talent through magical communication.

It only takes these two days to get a reply. If you delay for too long, I'm afraid it will delay your apprenticeship with Grand Magister Mecafe."

Brian smiled confidently.

"I don't need to worry about this, father. I can use wind magic to reduce the weight of myself and the knight.

With the speed of the gryphon, it is entirely possible to set off early in the morning and arrive at Lansberg at noon to meet Asaman and treat them to lunch.

In the afternoon, the groundbreaking ceremony was held in the northern part of the territory, and in the evening we took a gryphon to return to the city of Pest. The time management was perfect and the business was not delayed at all."

"If you want to cast magic on the Griffin Knight and yourself, won't your fact of becoming a magician be exposed?"

"Father, all gryphon knights are completely loyal to the Horsman family, and you should trust them.

At worst, I'll only cast magic on myself, and no one will notice unless something unexpected happens."

"What you said makes sense. The Griffin Knight is indeed completely trustworthy, and you don't need to release the magic consultants I hired in the magic castle yourself, just let them cast spells."

Duke Horsman thought for a moment, then filled in the loopholes in Brian's plan, and then praised Brian.

"Lina's letter said that Asaman will take another two days to reach Lansburgh, so you don't have to rush back.

Let's take a look at your subordinates first. It is undeniable that although this Horton Knight is older and has average talent, even with your training, he can only reach the level of a high-level knight at best.

But he is very conscientious in his work and trains the bodyguards who are just ordinary people in a decent manner. You made the right choice to make him your bodyguard captain.

You really need the support of the local nobles in Lanesburg, but the position of the guard captain around you is also limited. You will have a bigger stage in the future, and you can't just use this small trick every time."

"My father taught me a lesson, and I will pay attention to it."

The way Brian humbly accepted his father's teachings made Duke Horsman burst into laughter.

"I forgot about your speech last night. What you said makes sense. If you want to win over people, you just want to exchange fame and fortune for their loyalty.

Only by realizing common interests can the lord and Feng Chen be deeply bound.

When you build a canal in the northern hilly area, you are deeply tied to the interests of the feudal knights there. If they want their land to become fertile farmland, they can only fully support you.

Cooperating with Mrs. Flitwick to build the winery is binding you to the almost extinct Flitwick family, making them loyal only to you.

I have seen everything done in Landsberg, and it is better than I imagined. There is really no need for my guidance.

It’s just that I’m also a little curious. You were still ignorant when you learned these political skills. I didn’t expect that after a tour in Landsburg, you would be so skillful in performing them, as if you were a different person.”

Duke Horsman's casual words almost frightened Brian to death. If he were to resurrect a corpse in the magical world, he would be burned alive if someone discovered it.

Fortunately, Duke Horsman's next words made Brian relax.

"As expected of my son, your talent for cultivating fighting spirit is not as good as your elder brother's, but your wisdom is much better than your elder brother's."

As Duke Horsman was talking, he started boasting again, and Brian immediately added some flattery, making Duke Horsman burst into laughter.

However, this scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety made the Duchess, who was watching from a distance, feel very unhappy and even gritted her teeth.

In the view of the Duchess, Duke Horsman had never had such an attitude towards the sons she gave birth to. He only cared about the two sons left by his predecessor.

This was an injustice to Duke Horsman. When Ren and Brian were young, Duke Horsman had the same strict attitude and gave his sons a strict aristocratic education.

It's just that Ren and Brian are adults now and have their own careers. Duke Horsman feels that his son has achieved something, so he shows his joy.
