Vivian seemed to have understood as well, looking at Luo De without hesitation.

Looking wasn't enough, so she came up with a towel and personally wiped the sweat from Luo De's forehead.

After this maneuver, Vivian instead relaxed, without a trace of embarrassment.

"Lord Baron, the weapon you crafted is exceptionally sharp. Once you're done with this, do you want to reforge my Embroidery Needle?"

What Vivian referred to as the "Embroidery Needle" was actually the rapier she used specifically for assassinations.

She paused for a moment and added, "Oh, and a dagger too!"

"Alright, since you asked first, I'll make yours first."

He paused for a moment, adopting a more serious tone,

"Coincidentally, I'm remaking the Magic Steel Ingot. You can infuse it with your energy."

"Great!" Vivian's eyes lit up.

Luo De said no more, turned around, and carefully inserted the freshly forged Magic Steel Bar into the saltwater.

Sssss—

The surface of the water instantly boiled, white steam rising, accompanied by the crisp sound of metal cooling.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran into the Blacksmith Shop,

"Lord, we've received Us' report from outside the Blade Mountain Range that they've made contact with the first Wilderness Tribe!"

"Oh?"

Luo De was somewhat surprised, "Prophet Bai Shuang is quick. She's already conquered the first tribe?"

"Did they mention their name?"

"The Eagle Feather Tribe, part of the Beast Spirit Tribe."

The guard reported, "The soldier leading the way also brought back a message from Prophet Bai Shuang saying you'll definitely like the Eagle Feather Tribe."

"Like?"

Luo De raised an eyebrow, is Prophet Bai Shuang preparing a surprise for me?

The guard's report piqued Luo De's curiosity.

"Alright, have Us bring them back quickly. I want to see what there is to like about this Eagle Feather Tribe."

"Yes, Lord!"

The guard immediately went to relay the message, while Luo De reheated the steel ingot and continued forging.

Two days later.

Under Us' guidance, the Eagle Feather Leader appeared with his tribe outside Frost Leaf Town.

The Eagle Feather Tribe was small, totaling one hundred thirty-four people.

Their clothing was simple, mostly robes sewn from animal hides adorned with feathers and bone ornaments.

After Us made contact, the Wilderness people, now with ample food, no longer appeared starved and dazed, but still looked thin.

Seeing a human town for the first time, the Wildmen of the Eagle Feather Tribe were full of curiosity just like their predecessors.

But they weren't wary; instead, they were full of yearning.

The sufficient food over the past few days convinced them that these people were indeed sent by the Saint Master to guide them.

"Leave these people to me to arrange."

Lawrence stood at the town gate without wasting words, telling Us, "The master awaits you in the manor hall, hurry along, don't keep the Lord waiting."

"Understood, Sir Lawrence."

Us nodded in response and quickly turned to call the Eagle Feather Leader.

The Eagle Feather emulated Us in saluting Lawrence upon seeing his gesture.

"Master Us, who was that we just saw?"

The Eagle Feather queried in a low voice.

Us pondered how to translate "butler" and simply said, "He is the most trusted servant of the Saint Master."

"Is he also an esteemed Prophet?" The Eagle Feather's eyes widened.

"No, he is not a Prophet."

Us explained, "The greatness of the Saint Master is such that even the Imperial People are willing to submit to him and serve him."

"Ah, I understand that!"

The Eagle Feather nodded quickly, thought for a while, and then asked, "Can I call him Holy Master Envoy?"

Us' eyes lit up, "Yes, that title suits well."

Us couldn't help but sigh; such a title requires a genuine Wildman.

"Always show respect to the Holy Master Envoy, for he controls the food supply for all Wildmen."

"Yes, yes, I'll certainly be very respectful!"

The Eagle Feather assured quickly.

He understood that food was everything and that this envoy was more formidable than Prophet Bai Shuang.

"Eagle Feather Leader, I must remind you again."

Us suddenly spoke sternly, "The Saint Master is not to be judged by common sense. Never challenge the Saint Master with your ignorance or judge his capabilities by the foolish standard of age."

"If you offend the Saint Master, not even Prophet Bai Shuang can help you."

"I understand, thank you for your advice!"

The Eagle Feather Leader solemnly promised.

Us nodded with satisfaction and led the Eagle Feather Leader toward the manor.

The guards recognized Us, but still conducted a thorough check on both of them before letting them into the manor.

In the manor's hall, Luo De sat at the head of the long table, Vivian silently standing by his side.

Us opened the door and entered, the Eagle Feather Leader following closely behind.

The leader's steps were steady, and his gaze locked onto Luo De the moment he entered. He paused, slightly bowed with a gesture of respect, yet retained some pride.

"Good day, Lord,"

Us saluted respectfully and introduced, "This is the leader of the Eagle Feather Tribe."

The Eagle Feather Leader immediately knelt,

"Thank you for your mercy and generosity, great Saint Master!"

"We are willing to disband the tribe, fall under your wings, become your people, and offer our lives for you!"

"Hmm... Prophet Bai Shuang did teach you quite a bit in advance."

Luo De scrutinized the tall and thin Wildman, asking, "Prophet Bai Shuang said you could surprise me, what is it?"

"Like the Wolfhoof Tribe, we have Beast Spirit heritage."

The Eagle Feather Leader pulled out a cloth bag from his breast and opened it, presenting the white gemstone within with both hands,

"This is our tribe's hereditary Treasure Pearl."

"Our ancestors of the Eagle Feather Tribe could tame eagles, turning them into our eyes."

"Oh?"

Luo De's eyes lit up, immediately understanding Prophet Bai Shuang's surprise.

If the Eagle Feather Tribe can indeed awaken a Beast Spirit Contract with eagles, what secrets would remain hidden from Luo De in front of Black Pine Ridge?

All teams attempting to enter Luo De's territory would be completely visible under the eagle's eyes!
