Danke's gaze was full of questioning as he spoke, "Isn't it so?"

"We clearly know that the bandits were completely annihilated by Lord Lynn."

"Why did you choose to hide this, Master?"

"Such actions...violate the knightly code!"

Godfrey also looked straight at Danke.

The next moment.

A gratified smile appeared on Godfrey's face, "Very good, you still remember the knightly code."

"Sit down."

Danke was slightly stunned.

Faced with his questioning and accusations, Godfrey could still smile?

And even ask him to sit down?

Danke was somewhat confused and cautious as he sat opposite Godfrey.

Godfrey smiled calmly, "Rest assured, you are my student, and no matter what happens, I won't harm you!"

The doubt in Danke's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Godfrey spoke, "Danke, you grew up in Bordeaux City, as the eldest son of a merchant."

"Because your father wanted to elevate his status and position in Bordeaux City, he sent you to be by my side."

Danke said nothing, just nodded in response.

Godfrey continued, "In other words, you have always lived in a happy and complete family since childhood, enjoying the wholehearted love of your parents."

"You are the eldest son, destined to become the heir of the family, thus the love your parents give you exceeds that for all your siblings."

"As long as it's within the family's ability and capacity, your parents will place everything in your hands."

"The girl you fancy from another family, they will do their utmost to arrange for you, anything you like, they will do their utmost to purchase it for you..."

Danke nodded again.

Godfrey's words suddenly took a turn, "If a war suddenly broke out, destroying your family and killing your loved ones, leaving you the sole survivor!"

"The source of this war—the Lord whom the knightly code demands your loyalty!"

"What decision would you make then?"

Danke spoke resolutely, "I would naturally continue…"

But halfway through, Danke paused.

In his mind, he thought of his family and then the knightly code he believed in.

Danke became hesitant.

His words were fragmented, "Master...I don't know..."

Godfrey looked directly at Danke.

"Danke, you are about to become a knight indeed."

"However, I hope you become a knight with the ability to discern right from wrong, you must make your own judgments!"

"Rather than acting solely according to various rules and codes!"

"That version of you would be no different from a puppet controlled by others."

Godfrey changed his tone.

"Danke, if you still regard me as your mentor, then from now on, you just need to follow my steps forward."

Sensing the change in tone in Godfrey's words, Danke looked up at Godfrey.

In Godfrey's familiar eyes, Danke found unwavering determination and the same expectation for him.

That gaze instantly dispelled Danke's hesitation and confusion.

He declared firmly, "Yes, Master!"

With Danke's words, the second floor fell into silence.

Except for the occasional noise coming from the third floor.

Only the cold wind outside the window made the whistling sound of 'woo woo'.

...

Four days passed in a blink.

The work of covering weeds in the fields continued.

With the tireless efforts of four thousand townsmen, fifty-five thousand acres of fields were nearing completion.

At this rate, the fields can be completely covered before the snowfall, protecting the wheat seedlings as much as possible.

The townsmen also understood.

Master Lynn's prediction of snowfall was not a baseless claim!

Every day the temperature kept dropping.

Previously, it would only drop below zero at night or when it rained.

But now, as it got closer to the seven days Master Lynn mentioned.

The daytime temperature had already dropped to minus two or three degrees!

As Lynn was surveying the townsmen at work, a horse galloped down the limestone road in the distance.

Da da~ da da~

The sound grew closer.

Lynn turned to look, Jeremy jumped off the horse, took a few steps forward, and stood before him.

Jeremy bent his waist and spoke respectfully, "Master."

Lynn responded, "Jeremy, what intelligence did you bring back from Morgan Town this time?"

Jeremy revealed a smile and quickly said, "Master, it's indeed good news!"

"Lord Lawrence has led his army away from Morgan Town!"

"They didn't return the same way to Bordeaux City, but marched towards Wind Hill."

Upon hearing Jeremy's words, Lynn's eyebrows slightly rose.

Left?

After discovering his territory, they showed no indication and directly left with the army?

Was it due to the goodwill he expressed?

But the next second.

Lynn immediately dismissed this thought.

Being Lawrence, the second son of Donovan Ducas, he possessed his own pride!

Why would he care about the goodwill or hostility expressed by a Minor Lord?

If Lawrence wished, with one command, he and his Sword and Shield Corps could level the territory of a Minor Lord.

The only possibility is—Godfrey did not inform Lawrence of this land!

Lynn frowned.

Godfrey claimed to be Lawrence's accompanying knight, then why would he hide such information from his master?

Did he suspect his illegitimate identity?
