Chapter 74: 014: Going Home and Breaking Off

Three days later, Lynch concluded his visit to the Tulip Domain.

Where should he go next?

After some thought, Lynch reached a conclusion:

Go home.

Perhaps it was the words of Baron Claire that stirred him that day, or perhaps he simply wanted to bring closure to the lingering emotions tethered to the original owner of this body. Ultimately, Lynch decided to make a trip back to his hometown.

Before his departure, Baron Claire and Jamie came to see Lynch off. Besides providing essential horses, money, and supplies, the baron also gifted him a sword as gratitude for driving away the giant bear and saving the subjects on Victory Festival day.

This was a greatsword—a massive, enormous greatsword.

Its blade was more than 20 centimeters wide and over 1.5 meters long. Its surface glowed deep crimson, forged from an incredibly rare volcanic meteorite iron, crafted by a legendary blacksmith renowned across the Seven Kingdoms, Thomas the Flaming Iron Hand, who had since passed away.

The title of master blacksmith was reserved for fewer than ten contemporaries across the Human World, highlighting the rarity of this greatsword. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

Its previous owner was the illustrious Great Knight Grant, for whom Thomas had painstakingly forged this masterpiece as a gift to a dear friend. After Grant’s demise, the sword passed through various hands before ultimately being purchased for a fortune by Baron Claire.

The name of the sword: Fearless.

In reciprocation, Lynch took out several bottles of magic potions as gifts for Baron Claire, including physical potions and recovery potions. In an era plagued by illnesses and rampant epidemics due to the absence of antibiotics, even knights weren’t immune.

Though these items might not hold the same material value as the greatsword for mortals, they were, in essence, priceless treasures capable of saving lives in critical moments.

Finally, Jamie and Lynch agreed to spar in swordsmanship together again someday.

...

Several days later, in the Putan Kingdom, Frost Snow Town.

The small Frost Snow Town recently witnessed an extraordinary event.

Not long ago, Gerald, the eldest son of the Valen family, encountered a snow monster while escorting the lord’s daughter, Miss Selena. In the critical moment, Gerald stood courageously against the monster, drove it away, and saved Miss Selena.

In gratitude for Gerald’s bravery and selfless contribution, the lord, Baron Acate Bayne, officially bestowed upon Gerald the surname of the Bayn family and began teaching him the Knight Breathing Method.

That said, the Valen family itself was quite remarkable in its own right.

Originally, the family were mere peasants on the estate, lacking even the most basic identity, destined for a lifetime of labor for the lord, their status equal to livestock.

Yet, a few years ago, their fortunes changed. Their youngest son, Lynch, was taken as a student by a mystic scholar visiting from the Royal Capital with promises of further education. Prior to departure, the scholar paid generously to purchase the family’s freedom from the lord, even granting them land, thereby elevating them from peasants to freemen.

At the same time, the family’s eldest son was recruited by the lord as a guard within the castle, while their youngest daughter was brought into the castle to work as a maid.

What was thought to be an already miraculous shift in fate took on an even more legendary turn now: being granted a surname, taught the Knight Breathing Method—this signified the lord’s intention to train Gerald into a knight.

Becoming a knight meant permanently escaping the status of a commoner and stepping into the privileged domain of nobility!

Mere years—from peasants to nobles!

It was like something out of the ballads sung by minstrels—a tale so fantastical it bordered on myth.

At this moment, within the lord’s castle.

"Knock knock knock!" A series of knocks sounded on the door.

Lord Acate, seated at his desk sorting through documents, set down the papers in his hand, looked up, and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and a young man in his early twenties stepped inside. He was none other than Frost Cold Town’s newfound celebrity, Gerald Valen Bayne.

Gerald said, "My lord, did you summon me?"

Acate stood and greeted him with a warm smile, "How’s the training with the Knight Breathing Method coming along?"

Gerald frowned slightly, "It’s not easy..."

Knight training typically began in childhood. For Gerald to start at his age meant he had already missed the optimal period, making the process daunting.

But Gerald quickly reassured him, "But please rest assured, my lord, Gerald will work twice as hard."

Acate nodded and replied gently, "I trust you."

After a brief pause, he added, "But there’s no need to push yourself too hard. Knight training takes time, requiring patient accumulation. It’s not something that yields results overnight."

"Hmm..."

He pondered for a moment before continuing, "How about this? I’ve recently built a new farmstead in the Fertile Land Domain. Why don’t you take your parents and move there for now?"

Gerald’s eyes widened in shock, "What!"
