370: Chapter 178 Knight Order_2 370: Chapter 178 Knight Order_2 After discussing with his companion, the Ranger Knight ultimately abandoned the idea of continuing on to the Holy Court Kingdom and gladly accepted the offer of employment to become the Lord Adviser in charge of affairs in the Kantadar region of the Baron Domain.

However, the specifics of his staff work would be discussed further at a meeting to be held later in Avalon.

By the third day after Azeryan and his group had moved away from Selva, Leon finally saw Death Claw returning.

And as it was about to leave after visiting Little Gede, Leon hurriedly gestured and danced, enthusiastically conveying their intent to move homes.

This intelligent beast quickly grasped the humans’ friends’ intention to “relocate”, then it rose from the ground and began to circle above their heads.

At first, when Leon saw Death Claw take off, he thought the creature might have been annoyed by his incessant chatter, but as it stayed in the air overhead without leaving, always waiting for the humans to make their move, he quickly called for Treya to bring the horses and sent Kovis to notify Lord Larian they were setting off.

Death Claw was very patient; it kept following Leon’s movements, waiting for the humans and their young to board the covered wagons, even thoughtfully ascending higher to avoid startling the horses on the ground.

Lord Larian, riding a warhorse with his Attendant driving the carriage carrying Miss Magreina, had arrived early at the eastern village road intersection to wait.

After the party had assembled, they set off for Avalon.

With a Griffin accompanying them in the sky, they swiftly passed through the forest trails, and in just half a day, they had reached the river valley in the woods.

The procession moved through fields, horses hooves clacking over ancient bridges, and passersby carrying farm tools made way for the slowly advancing carriages as Leon’s party entered the area of the town still under construction.

Olivia looked around from horseback with eyes wide in amazement.

“Leon, this place has changed so much,” she remarked, remembering how the last time she was here, the area outside the fortress was just an empty valley.

Now there were continuous house constructions, large tracts of farmed land, and bustling human activity.

Not far away was also a large military encampment.

The members of the party, Lord Larian and his servants, as well as Magreina, looked up in surprise at the tall fortress that rose before them.

Even at a rough estimate, the castle’s size—while only about half that of Felcon’s seaside cliff castle at Western Port—was still an impressive fortress rarely seen in the world.

Such a grand castle was rare even among many lords who owned their own earldoms, much less for a noble who until recently had only owned a village domain.

Magreina, sitting in the carriage, looked with puzzlement at the young Baron up ahead.

As the daughter of the Salain Family, she knew that even her father would hesitate to spend a fortune to build a fortress of such scale.

Was this the domain granted to him after being made a Baron?

Despite it being impolite, Magreina couldn’t help but wonder if this Baron Leon…

could he be the illegitimate son of his principal family, the Thorny Flower Earl?

No, such treatment was usually reserved for the legitimate eldest son, not even that.

…Upon entering the castle gate, the orderly roads inside the fortress, the beautiful and tall buildings, and meticulously arranged infrastructure facilities truly opened the eyes of Lord Larian and his servants and Magreina.

They thought it would be a rural pioneer settlement, but it turned out to be a beautiful and vibrant town.

Magreina couldn’t help but feel expectant about the life she would settle into here.

The air was fresh, and as they made their way into the city, they saw none of the filth that was typical in other towns.

In comparison, even the Royal City of Kantadar seemed unsightly…

Arriving at the main castle located in the high city area of the northeast, Azeryan and Lokhak, who had received the news, were already waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

“Leon, you’ve finally arrived.”

“I couldn’t help it, the big guy only just came back.”

Leon dismounted along with the others, pointing to the black dot circling in the sky.

He turned to look at Lord Larian, who was helping Miss Magreina out of the carriage, and asked Azeryan and the others, “Are there any vacant residences in the city?

Find one nearby for Lord Larian, this knight has accepted my offer of employment and is now one of our own.”

“There are,” Lokhak eagerly stepped forward to volunteer, leading Lord Larian and his party to their accommodations.

Leon looked up at the towering main castle tower, instructing Kovis, “You take Little Gede up to the tower’s top and signal Death Claw to land; that way, it should understand where to find us in the future.”

Avalon was much larger than their dwelling in Selva; if they didn’t agree on a place with the Griffin, and it couldn’t find its young later on, it might cause a fright among the subjects while looking for them in Avalon.

At that thought, Leon’s mind was struck with inspiration.

He looked back over the fortress and then turned to gaze in the northwest direction behind Fountain Square at the solitary peak that Avalon Castle was built against.

According to the books, Lorelettians used mountain peak nests or tower roosts to keep Griffins, and now didn’t he have just the ideal environment for it?

Should he try to settle Death Claw here permanently?

After all, he could now afford it.

Contemplating this, he put the idea aside for the moment and led everyone into the main castle.

Although he had been here several times, he was not very familiar with the inside of the main castle, so he followed Azeryan, who had moved in earlier, room by room and floor by floor, touring the new home of everyone.

“…It’s strange, there’s no place in the great hall of the main castle for a throne, and that sculpture resembling the emblem of the Holy Sun is also difficult to move at the moment, so I’ve temporarily arranged for everyone to tidy up the upper-level banquet hall, set up your lord’s chair there; it can serve as a great hall,” Azeryan explained the interiors of the main castle.
