Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

"I plan to let you take over the management of the Hidden Guard."

Lan suddenly raised his head, his eyes moist, tears rolling in his eyes, and asked with a trace of sadness: "Master, are you going to drive me away?"

"I know that the two sisters are more mature and stable than me, but I can also..." She prayed in a slightly trembling voice, trying to fight for the opportunity to stay.

"Stop, stop, stop." Kyle rubbed his temples, looked at Lan with tears blurred, and explained helplessly, "That Rita has a strange personality, don't take it to heart."

"As for the things you think in your mind, they don't exist at all."

Lan didn't wipe his tears, stared at Kyle, and asked with courage: "Master, why are you driving me away?"

Meeting the other's eyes, Kyle suddenly understood why his master said that on the airship.

If it was a follower like Yara and Rita who had just been recruited, Kyle could just ignore it and don't care.

But facing Lan, he was a little hesitant.

After all, she had been his maid for thirteen years, and he had a deep affection for her, so it was difficult for him to make up his mind to ignore her.

After thinking for a moment, Kyle went forward and hugged Lan, and said calmly: "Leanna, I am not giving up on you, nor do I mean to drive you away. As long as you are willing, I will always be by your side."

"Really? Master." Lan raised his head and looked at Kyle with expectant eyes.

Kyle nodded and replied: "You are my dependent, and you will never be separated from me in this life."

Looking at Lan with a slightly red face, Kyle was a little confused in his heart, but he did not think deeply.

"Master, can you keep my identity as a maid and not recruit new maids?"

Hearing this strange request, Kyle nodded and replied without thinking: "Yes."

After getting the master's promise, Lan cried with joy.

Kyle gently wiped away the tears on Lan's face and said calmly: "In the future, you should focus on cultivation. Although you have become a high-level silver wind dancer, you still have a long way to go in the future."

"With your talent, there is no obstacle below the legend."

"I know, master."

Lan buried herself in Kyle's arms and enjoyed this rare time.

Kyle had no reaction to this. After Lan calmed down, he comforted her a few more words and let her go down to rest.

Leaning on the armchair, Kyle supported his chin with his right hand and began to think about his next cultivation plan.

...

The next afternoon, Weilin came out of the bedroom, came to the top of the castle, stood on the open-air platform, felt the cool wind, and looked at the ice cold area in the distance.

There is no banquet that will not end. Ms. Anastasia fulfilled her promise and protected Qixing Territory for 30 years. Although she only took action twice when she knew it, each time she took action, she solved the crisis of Qixing Territory's overthrow.

Perhaps there was another crisis in the dark, but it was quietly solved by Ms. Anastasia, and she didn't know it.

"What should I prepare for my parting gift?"

He must repay a favor, this is his bottom line.

Thirty years ago, he used the seven-color life flower as a price in exchange for Ms. Anastasia's promise to protect Qixing Territory for thirty years.

After thinking about it, Weilin finally took the seven-color life flower as a parting gift.

Although he had billions of gold coins, the only thing he could show off was the seven-color life flower.

After staying on the platform for half an hour, Weilin went to the treasury, took out three seven-color life flowers, packed them in an obsidian wooden box, and put them into the space ring.

Three days later, Weilin only took Kyle with him and went to the ice cold area.

Stepping into the edge of the ice cold area, several ice maids were already waiting here.

Several ice elf maids lined up in two rows and bowed.

An ice elf maid came forward, made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully: "Lord Weilin, the master asked us to wait for you here, please board the ice carriage to the ice castle."

Wei Lin nodded politely to the ice elf maid, and then boarded the ice carriage.

Thinking back to thirty years ago, when I first came to the ice cold area to visit Ms. Anastasia, I also took an ice carriage.

Turning my head to look out the window, the ice cold area is still covered with ice and snow. Compared with thirty years ago, there are many more ice statues on the ground, some in human form, and some in the form of magic beasts.

Looking carefully, these creatures do not exist on the Synaps subcontinent.

Arriving at the ice castle, Weilin got off the carriage, raised his head to look at the ice and snow castle, and raised his hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Being in the ice domain, as a soul knight, Weilin felt the horror of the legendary domain.

Although the snowflakes seemed ordinary, Weilin felt the magic from them, or the snowflakes were the embodiment of Ms. Anastasia's power.

Watching the slowly dissipating snowflakes, Weilin looked at the ice and snow palace in the distance and walked forward with steady steps.

The lower the strength, the more ignorant he was. This time, when he stepped into the palace with a new strength, Weilin felt that there was a power hidden everywhere in the ice castle that could kill him instantly.

Passing through the gate and entering the palace, Weilin put his right hand on his chest to pay tribute to the legend on the ice throne.

Anastasia opened her eyes, looked at Weilin in the palace, raised her hand to help him up, and said in a gentle voice: "Weilin, thirty years ago, under the witness of the gods, I signed a contract with you to protect Qixing Territory for thirty years to repay you for your help to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

"You have fulfilled your promise and protected Qixing Territory for thirty years. On my behalf, I would like to thank you."

"May the wind of magic caress you and bring you eternal knowledge."

"May your legend live forever."

Wein took out three seven-color life flowers from the space ring, held them up with fighting spirit, and presented them to Anastasia.

"We met with seven-color life flowers. When we part, please allow me to use three seven-color life flowers as a farewell gift."

Anastasia looked at the three seven-color life flowers in front of her, smiled, and said, "I like this farewell gift very much."

"When the thirty-year period is over, I will also leave here to pursue my truth."

"When we part, I will give you another gift."

The token that Weilin kept in his chest returned to Anastasia's hand. Feeling the residual warmth on it, the three ice fields in the token were only triggered once.

Anastasia replenished the ice power in the token, injected new magic power, upgraded it to a legendary spell [Ice World], and then sent it back to Weilin.

"This token can withstand the full force attack of a legendary low-level strongman. I hope you will never need it."

"Thank you for your gift." Weilin took the token in his hand and answered with his head down.
