From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and a popular person attracts gossip.

This saying is applicable everywhere, including this world.

Marquis Daniel has undoubtedly become the most dazzling figure today, and naturally attracted the attention and admiration of the nobles.

Even the always cold Marquis Frost Wolf personally came to the door to present a gift - an exquisite magic gem pendant made of forest green crystal.

Seeing that even a figure like Marquis Frost Wolf came in person, the other nobles dared not neglect it.

So, Marquis Daniel had to communicate and socialize with these nobles one by one.

Of course, this kind of communication was limited to those earls and marquises.

Even Count Stephen, who was the least interested in Marquis Daniel on weekdays, had to pinch his nose and go to congratulate him at this moment.

After all, he didn't want to leave a bad impression of destroying internal unity in front of many nobles and grand dukes.

It has to be admitted that the nobles are indeed the most adept at observing the situation and adapting to changes.

Back then, although the Golden Rose Family was powerful, it was not as respected and warmly received by the major families as it is today.

However, since Daniel was successfully promoted to Sky Knight and won the title of Marquis, the attitude of other Marquises towards him has changed significantly, and they are obviously more attentive and friendly than before.

Of course, part of the reason may be that they want to show off in front of Grand Duke Veronica.

As the night gradually fell, Grand Duke Veronica got up and left, and the nobles on the scene began to walk out of the hall one after another, returning to their respective residences to pack their bags, preparing to leave the place the next day after a short rest.

After completing the task of escorting Grand Duke Veronica back to his room, Krober went to find his grandfather, Marquis Daniel, without stopping, hoping to get his guidance and assistance.

(Grandpa should be grandfather, it feels weird to always write grandfather.)

At this moment, Marquis Daniel had just stepped into the room.

He first gave the servant an order to prepare dinner, and then picked up the information on the table and began to read it carefully.

Since they broke through and became earth knights, knights have acquired a magical ability - they can maintain the basic consumption of the body without eating for a short period of time, just by absorbing the free magic factors between heaven and earth.

However, once promoted to sky knights, this ability is further improved, and they can even go without food for a long time.

Despite this, most people who can become earth knights or sky knights are from noble families.

These nobles have a very high pursuit of food and enjoyment. For them, the desire for food is still an important part of life.

Therefore, even if they do not need food to maintain vital signs, they will still eat according to the normal three meals a day to satisfy their desire for food.

Moreover, absorbing magic factors is only to maintain the most basic physical signs, which is commonly known as not starving to death. Most of the nobles' meals are quite good, and magic beast meat is the most basic configuration.

This world also has the concept of "food supplements". People have found that most of the body tissues of magic beasts are full of magic, which is very helpful for the knights' fighting spirit training.

Although Marquis Daniel, as a sky knight, could not eat precious top-level monster meat, he could still afford to eat high-level monster meat of the strength of the earth knight.

The more he ate, the faster his fighting spirit would grow.

He was looking at the information on the table when he heard a servant report that his grandson Krober came to see him and was waiting outside.

He quickly asked the servant to prepare a dinner made of intermediate monsters. He saw that Krober had broken through the realm of the great knight this morning.

This made him quite happy. After all, a genius appeared in the family. He became a formal knight at the age of fifteen, and became a great knight within a few months.

This speed of practice is enough to be called a genius.

Krober, who walked into the room, also felt a sense of relief when he saw Marquis Daniel sitting on the chair.

This feeling was like the relaxation of opening the door and returning home to lie on the sofa.

He sat on the sofa carelessly, and the heavy plate armor almost deformed the soft sofa.

Marquis Daniel didn't care about these. In his opinion, they were grandfather and grandson. Why should he care so much? His mother Lilith was a little devil who dared to ride on her like a horse.

When he thought of his beloved daughter, Marquis Daniel couldn't help but reveal a cold look.

The spies he sent out had passed the complete information back to him.

When he saw the information, even with Marquis Daniel's skill in cultivating his qi, he was almost overwhelmed by the feeling of anger.

If the servant beside him hadn't found something wrong and woke him up, he would have taken a sword to chop Klar and his two bastard sons.

First of all, Krober's brothers and sisters are four in total, and they are indeed all born by Lilith.

But I don't know if it's because the blood of the Oat Family is too inferior, the talents of the children born are generally not very good. Krober's "big brother" Crocker is like this. He is not even a formal knight at the age of 28.

So when she was pregnant with her second child, Klar asked the only magician in the territory to find a way to develop a potion that could enhance the cultivation talent of the unborn baby.

It should be said that the damn magician actually developed a potion, and the second son, Klaus, was born with a talent far stronger than the eldest son, Kroc.

So Baron Klaar at the time thought that this potion had worked, so he let Lilith continue to take this potion.

After further in-depth investigation and research, it was shown that in fact, this mysterious potion did not really give the baby additional talents.

The fighting spirit talent that Klaus possessed was purely innate, not derived from the effect of the potion.

After the spies presented several potion samples to the magician team in the earl's territory for detailed inspection, they were surprised to find that this potion actually only achieved half of its original goal.

The original design of the potion was to enhance the cultivation talent of the fetus in the mother's body. The most direct way is to absorb the magic factor in nature through the mother's body, thereby strengthening the fetus.

However, this potion has serious flaws.

It cannot absorb the energy between heaven and earth through the mother's body as expected, but can only absorb the energy inside the mother's body.

What's worse is that even if it successfully absorbed the energy, it couldn't effectively transfer it to the baby's body.

The vitality energy extracted by the potion will gradually dissipate over time.

Fortunately, the Golden Rose Family sent some magic-rich tonics every month, which allowed Lilith to maintain her physical condition.

Otherwise, considering Lilith's weak constitution at the time, and the fact that she still needed to nurture the child in her belly, if she hadn't been nourished by these tonics, she would have died in Deepwater Territory, not to mention the successful birth of Klobber later.

After giving birth to Klas and Christina in succession, Lilith's physical condition was obviously not suitable for giving birth again, but Klaar still forced Lilith to satisfy his desires.

(As for why she didn't find someone else to vent, the people in the Golden Rose Family are all very beautiful. A beautiful woman and an ugly woman, a normal person would definitely choose the beautiful one)

So, Lilith naturally became pregnant with Klobber.

During this period, Lilith did not ask for help from the Golden Rose Family or Knight Foster, but just hoped that the family could send her more supplements.

Now thinking about it, it was probably that beast Klar used those children to threaten Lilith, so his kind daughter died in Deepwater Territory.

This was not what made him angry the most.

As far as he knew, Crocker, as the eldest son at that time, was already twelve years old, but he helped Klar that guy to persuade Lilith to drink the potion.

The second son Klas was the same. Although he was still very young at that time, his cold-blooded and cunning character had already appeared at that time.

Not only did he ignore Lilith's request for help, he even suggested that Knight Foster in the territory be transferred out of the territory under the pretext of something, leaving Lilith without her last support.

These are the most incomprehensible and angry things for Marquis Daniel, who values ​​family affection.

Lilith is obviously their biological mother, how dare they push their mother into the abyss with their own hands?

When thinking of Lilith's despair before her death, and the feeling of being betrayed by her own son, Marquis Daniel's eyes became a little moist.

(As mentioned earlier, Deepwater Territory is one of the few territories in the Principality with a lot of bad habits. They only treat women as production tools and marriage tools.

From Christina's introduction in Chapter 1

So this is why Lilith was betrayed by her two sons. Clare taught them from childhood that they only need to obey their father's orders, and their mother is just a tool.)

As a result, he also hated Count Stephen, who had made every effort to promote this marriage.
