Chapter 220: Chapter 218: Discussing Knives on Paper_1

Early the next morning, when Owen Bertram got up, he found the outpost full of joy. Matthew came to report the news: "Sir, big news!"

"Master Lane has already led the army to completely defeat the last main force of the rebels yesterday. Prince Henry’s rebellion has been completely wiped out."

"In a few days, Master Lane will return to the court. This is the first military achievement of our Horizon Bureau in thousands of years! Hahaha... Master Lane has really brought honor to our Horizon Bureau this time. No one will dare to call us useless parasites in the Imperial Court ever again!"

Indeed, there were many who badmouthed the Horizon Bureau, as they hadn’t done much good in recent years.

Owen Bertram nodded and laughed, "Indeed, it’s great news. Pass the order. Today at noon, we will have a banquet for the brothers and celebrate."

"The money will come from the outpost funds... Let Bennett Basil be the cook, his cooking is much better than those chefs in County Town."

"Yes, sir."

After Matthew left, Owen Bertram knew it was time for him to go to Casterly County. With the end of the Henry Case, David would come to Summit Guard Post as agreed.

As expected, in the morning, Owen Bertram went to the riverside to feed the Seven Dao Soldiers, and after watering the Gourd Vine, he returned to the outpost to see a strong and fierce mount tied in the courtyard, equipped with a magical instrument as armor - it belonged to David.

Ethereal Devin and a few fearless Military Officers were curious and gathered around like mischievous children, throwing small stones at the mount!

As the mount let out low roars and flames started to spray out of its nostrils, Owen Bertram slapped Ethereal Devin’s head: "Can’t get enough of mischief, can you? Scram!"

Ethereal Devin and the others slunk away, and David came out, handing Owen Bertram a letter: "This is from the Master for you."

He did not mention that he had now genuinely become Owen Bertram’s servant.

Owen Bertram opened the letter and was taken aback: there was no writing on the paper, just an ink painting of a sword slashing through the sky.

He looked again and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He felt as if the sword was about to burst out of the paper and slash down at his head from the endless void, and a feeling of "not knowing how to resist and only waiting for death" welled up in his heart!

Then this terrifying feeling suddenly vanished completely. Upon looking at the paper in his hand again, it was just an ordinary sheet with no trace of any mystery.

David said, "You’re worried about encountering a Sixth Great Realm expert on your trip to Casterly County. The Master drew this sword for you and told me to tell you: if you really encounter a Sixth Great Realm, just throw it."

Owen Bertram understood: "There’s a sword qi from Master Lane hidden inside? But he’s also in the Sixth Great Realm, can a sword on paper really defeat a genuine Sixth Great Realm?"

David said proudly, "You can’t compare Master Lane to ordinary Sixth Great Realm experts!"

Owen Bertram muttered, that’s blind worship, it’s not good.

David changed the subject: "In handling the Henry Case, the Master had already accumulated momentum by defeating two Sixth Great Realm experts outside Darnell Manor. Yesterday, during the final battle with the rebels, the Master broke through on the battlefield and entered the Seventh Level - as a result, the rebels collapsed without a fight, and our army won the decisive battle easily!"

"This sword is the first sword the Master drew after advancing to the Seventh Level. As long as they are not in the Seventh Level, anyone facing this sword would either die or be severely injured!"

Owen Bertram exclaimed, "But isn’t there no Seventh Level in this world?"

"Who told you that? It’s just very difficult to break through beyond the Sixth Great Realm, but there are still some who have done it," David explained.

It’s difficult to break through - but Abner Lane did it. This Master Lane is indeed a standout person in his generation!

Owen Bertram carefully hid the letter close to his body. This was a life-saving treasure. After that, he said, "Nathan Lane will be back soon, and we’ll set off as soon as he arrives."

David shook his head, "We still have to wait for someone."

"Who?"

David suddenly smiled and said mysteriously, "You’ll know when they arrive."

Owen Bertram glared at him, you fellow still haven’t figured out your place, now you’re my servant! David seemed to understand something, clearing his throat and said, "It’s not that I won’t tell you, but I don’t know either. Master Lane only said he found you a helper, and the order has been sent out, they’ll arrive in a few days, but he didn’t say who it was."

By evening, Nathan Lane had arrived - David was hiding and didn’t dare to see him.

That night, as the Seven Dao Soldiers had been digested, an immense warmth was sent to Owen Bertram, but it was not as strong as the Jade Seal. Owen Bertram had built the Dao Tower to the fifth and a half level, only a little short of the sixth level. The warmth was gone...

Owen Bertram felt like his OCD was about to act up, he couldn’t wait to feed the Golden Coffin to the Seven Dao Soldiers!

Fortunately, another slightly weaker warmth appeared in his mind, unfolding a Refining Diagram Records of "Divine Heavenly Soldier"!

The "Divine Heavenly Soldier" described in the records combined the advantages of Taoist Soldiers and Mechanical Dao Soldiers. In simple terms, each component was forged using the method of Taoist Soldiers, forming a much stronger weapon than the Mechanical Dao Soldiers after being combined. The Dao Soldiers had become Heavenly Soldiers.

Even without Owen Bertram’s God-slaying Breaker or Spiritual Pomegranate Sniper, the combat power of these soldiers would far surpass that of Mechanical Dao Soldiers. Owen Bertram estimated that if he could truly forge a complete version of the Divine Heavenly Soldier, it would be able to confront the Fifth Great Domain!

However, it was still a bit difficult for him at present, as he needed to break through to the Fourth Great Realm of Hidden Treasure Realm to complete it.

This was like going back to square one. His OCD was acting up again.

In the meantime, as they waited for the mysterious "reinforcements", David and Verna became acquainted.

David spent all day avoiding Owen Bertram - it was awkward with him, what if he brought up the matter of being his servant? So every day, as soon as he got up, David would mount his beast and go out hunting demon beasts in the mountains and plains.

He would hand over the hunted demon beasts to Verna to cook.

Verna liked David!

He was the ideal diner who could always provide a lot of fresh, fine ingredients. She looked at Matthew, Alvin Morgan, and Bennett Basil, and wondered what was the difference between them and free-loaders!

So Verna quickly jumped onto David’s mount and began to join him on hunting trips - she mainly focused on having fun, and David took care of the hunting.

It was strange that David couldn’t get along with Owen Bertram, but got along very well with Tabitha.

That day at noon, the two of them hadn’t returned yet, and Owen Bertram frowned. He ate a few bites of the lunch cooked by Bennett Basil - it was no match for my sister’s cooking. How did you get the title of a well-known chef, by paying for it?

As Owen Bertram put down his bowl, he heard a commotion outside. Lord Prescott, who was already annoyed that he hadn’t eaten well, shouted, "No discipline! If you’re noisy again, I’ll have each of you beat with thirty military sticks!"

Ethereal Devin excitedly burst in: "Sir, it’s the old Officiant!"
