In the western part of Victor's territory, a convoy of more than thirty people was heading towards the hill camp. They were Edwin and his party who had returned from the Everglades expedition.

Nicole was riding on a war horse in high spirits. The thought that she would see her sweetheart soon made her look forward to and happy. If it weren't for everyone being tired, she really wanted to hurry up and reach the hill camp early.

These more than twenty days of exploration had left everyone physically and mentally exhausted, especially when they were about to leave, they were besieged and pursued by the Lizardman tribe, which made them even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, Victor built a supply camp at the entrance of the Great Swamp so that everyone could take a rest. Even so, Edwin and Bruce both boarded the carriage left by Victor and were unwilling to ride on horseback.

My Victor is still thoughtful! Thinking of this, Nicole couldn't help but smile. Women in love all think that their sweetheart is the best, and female knights are not immune to this.

The happy and proud Nicole looked charming and charming at the moment, attracting the attention of several knights nearby.

It's no wonder that these trainee knights are all young people in their twenties, which is exactly Mu Ai's age. What's more, Nicole is already beautiful and graceful. After becoming a knight, her complexion became as snowy and radiant.

In addition, this time she killed more than ten lizard warriors in a row, which made these young men never forget her.

Originally, as a female trainee knight from a low-born family, Nicole was designated as a companion by the family, and was not something these trainee knights could covet. But now Nicole has become a noble knight. Even a wealthy family like the York family cannot force her to become a knight.

When a female knight serves someone she doesn't like, she is completely free to choose her own partner.

Therefore, these young trainee knights are very courteous to Nicole along the way, hoping to win Nicole's heart.

As for Baron Victor, he already has his own wife, so it is impossible for a noble female knight to be his personal maid!

They believe that as time goes by, Nicole will always wake up and there is no future between her and Victor. However, these trainee knights do not know that the moment Victor faces the ogre, no one can replace him.

position in Nicole's heart.

If you can't be with Victor by becoming a knight, then become a silver knight. If that doesn't work, then become a golden knight! This is Nicole's determination. She is determined to use her own efforts to fight for the future she wants.

When the convoy turned around a hill, Nicole saw a group of people approaching them in the distance, and Black Feather was hovering above them.

"It's Victor!"

Surprised, Nicole whipped up her horse whip, and the horse carrying her shot toward Victor's motorcade like an arrow off its string.

Victor's excellent eyesight had already seen clearly that the oncoming war horse was the female knight he had longed for, and he also rode up to meet Nicole.

Victor's riding skills are average, but x-3 has allowed his balance ability to reach an incredible level. He seems to be integrated with the horse under his crotch, and his speed at this moment is really like lightning.

Soon the lovers were reunited. As soon as Victor jumped off the horse, Nicole fell into his arms like a light swallow.

Victor hugged Nicole quietly, feeling the fragrance of the female knight's hair, feeling full and happy.

Nicole is Victor's real first lover. They both have one thing in common. They seem noble but are actually humble. One has awakened the blood of knights, but is the daughter of the maid of the York family, and the other is a baron.

, is actually the tool and male favorite of Marquis Sophia. Because of this, the two have the same determination and efforts to fight against fate. This is the reason why the two are attracted to each other.

"Nicole, you smell so good! I thought you must have stunk when you came out of the swamp." Victor took a deep breath next to Nicole's snow-white slender neck and said teasingly.

The corner of Nicole's mouth curled up slightly. She had specially washed herself at the supply camp, otherwise she would have been covered in blood and mud just as Victor said.

"Why, if I stink, you won't hug me, right?" Nicole said with a blush on her face as she pulled away from Victor's arms, her sweetheart's warm breath in her ear tickling,

It made her a little flustered.

After Nicole became a knight, she became much more confident, and she also had a crush on Victor. After they reunited, they couldn't help but hug each other, and the intimacy of this meeting made her shy again.

"I'll hug you even if you're smelly, because you're Nicole." Victor said with a smile.

Seeing the girl's shy and happy look, Victor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to the screenwriter, director, and CCTV. I'm not bad at flirting with girls...

"Let's go! Take me to meet Master Edwin and Knight Bruce." Victor said, holding Nicole's delicate hand.

"Um."

When Victor took Nicole's hand and came to Edwin's motorcade, everyone in the motorcade saluted him, except for the trainee knights. Victor clearly felt the hostility of these young knights.

This made him a little baffled. Nicole, with her head lowered and her face flushed, had left the entire team behind when she saw Victor just now, as if she was eager to throw herself into his arms. Now that she thinks about it, it’s really a bit strange.

It was embarrassing, but she didn't take her beautiful hand out of Victor's palm, but held it tighter.

Victor glanced at the convoy and immediately discovered something unusual. Almost everyone in the elite cavalry of the York family was injured, and there were four fewer people than when they set out. Obviously, this expedition was not going to be smooth sailing.

Victor also discovered that there were a few more things in the convoy. The most eye-catching thing was a carriage carrying a cage. Inside the cage was a half-human, half-lizard monster. This monster was about 2.1 meters long and had hair all over its body.

It has blue-black scales with a metallic luster. Its head is very similar to the head of a monitor lizard, except that its snout is flatter. Its eyes are amber, with dark green vertical pupils in the middle, giving people a cold, ruthless, cunning and intelligent feeling.

.

This monster's body is thick and powerful, but its claws, legs and thick long tail have been chopped off. At this time, it can only curl up in the cage. However, Victor noticed that the monster's wounds had healed, and even

There are some inconspicuous protruding tissues, and it is obvious that its stumps are regenerating, and it may not be long before it can regain its sound limbs and tail.

There is also a horse with an animal corpse tied to its back. This weird animal is 2.8 meters long, including 1.2 meters of tail. It looks like a big cat, but its tail is similar to that of a mouse.

The tail is exactly the same. Its body is flat, its head is also flat, and its mouth is huge. It is full of razor-sharp teeth. Its sharp claws are as long as 8 centimeters. You can tell at a glance that this is a ferocious guy.

Bruce's four knights were tightly surrounding the horse, seemingly protecting it, or to be precise, protecting the monster's body.

Victor retracted his gaze and followed Nicole to the carriage Edwin was riding in. Before he could knock on the door, Knight Bruce had already opened the door.

"Sir Victor, please come in." Bruce smiled at Victor, who still looked meticulous.

"Good day, Master Edwin, and good day, Knight Bruce." Victor entered the carriage, gave Edwin and Bruce a noble salute, and said with a smile.

Bruce and his party had obviously experienced a fierce battle, and the old scholar could still sit in the carriage with his beard and tail intact, which made him sincerely happy.

"Little Victor didn't expect you to come here so quickly. Do you miss us? Or miss one of us?" Edwin smiled narrowly at Victor, although the old scholar looked a little haggard.

, but their spirits are very strong, even a little excited. It seems that they have gained a lot from this trip to the Everglades.

"Master, I am very happy to see that you are safe and sound." Victor ignored Edwin's teasing and said to him sincerely.

"Yeah, if it hadn't been for Black Feather this time, I'm afraid my old life would have been lost in the Lizard Swamp." Edwin said with lingering fear.

"Master, Bruce, I see that many soldiers are injured. Why don't you all rest here for a while? My convoy will be here soon and I have brought six carriages so that the wounded can ride on the carriages." Victor suggested.

road.

"Great! Thank you, Victor." Bruce nodded gratefully.

In this chase battle with the Lizardman tribe, Bruce's cavalry team not only lost four people, but also all the remaining elite soldiers were injured. These people have been with Bruce for many years and are all his old friends. If it were not for the fear of being pursued by the Lizardman tribe soldiers,

After coming out, he preferred to rest on the spot in the supply camp and wait for Victor's support.

Soon, the two convoys merged together, and Bruce's cavalry team all boarded the carriage. After arranging all this, the convoy set off again, and Victor brought his "coffee" for Edwin to taste.

.

The "coffee" in this world is actually made from the core of a fruit called black fruit collected by Alchemist Auxiliary Buso. The black fruit has a certain degree of toxicity, but after steaming and drying, its core will become

It is detoxified, but instead reveals a rich fragrance. The Nerel Empire can make a potion that temporarily enhances mental attributes by grinding the astringent fruit core into powder.

Of course Victor also wanted to copy this potion, but unfortunately it involved too many raw materials, some of which were even found in the Sasan Empire. However, after Victor tasted the core potion, he was surprised to find that its effect was as good as

Coffee on the earth is very similar. Although the taste is different, it does not have the toxicity of caffeine. It tastes better after being blended with purple cane juice. It can completely become a consumer product for the upper class of mankind.

"Master, I found a unique drink in my territory. It tastes very good and can lift people's spirits. Please try it and we can chat while drinking."

Victor smiled and took out four silver teacups, put the core powder into the teacups, and as the boiling hot water rushed into the teacups, a charming aroma instantly filled the entire carriage.

This exciting fragrance made Edwin's eyes light up. He was about to pick up the tea cup, but was stopped by Victor.

"Master, don't worry, there is still one thing missing."

Then Victor added the purple cane juice into the tea cup one by one and said with a smile: "Now you can taste it."

Edwin took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully for a while, and praised loudly: "It's very sweet, very rich and sweet, a great drink!"

"It's really good!" Bruce praised after tasting it.

As for Nicole, she was already smiling with joy, not just because of the sweet taste of the coffee. Along the way, every time Victor invented a delicious food, she would be very happy.

Victor quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The old scholar's evaluation was very important to him. He has now lost the support of his family, which means that he has no channel to promote the specialties here to the aristocracy. And Edwin

As a respected scholar and master, he will be able to help him open up the situation.

"What is this drink made of?" Edwin asked eagerly. He had already felt the refreshing effect of coffee, which was of great value to scholars who had been engaged in research work all year round.

"This is a drink made from the core of a wild fruit, which can relieve fatigue and boost the spirit. I call this wild fruit coffee fruit, and this drink is called coffee."

"Coffee? Well, after returning to the camp, I want to see this wild fruit."

Edwin nodded. He was not entangled in why Victor gave such weird names to wild fruits. In fact, many unique plants in the Centaurs Hills have not yet been completely counted, let alone named.

"Of course." Victor smiled and agreed. He really needed to have an in-depth communication with Edwin about coffee.

"What exactly did you encounter in the Great Swamp? I noticed that you lost four soldiers, and there were two more monsters, one dead and one alive." Victor asked solemnly. The Great Swamp is a truly wild place.

It's also adjacent to his territory, so he really needs to know what's going on inside.
