The Grand Duke Gret West, with short red hair and handsome face, could not tell from his appearance that he was over 60 years old. At least he looked like Wina, who was standing behind him with a smile, looked like a father and daughter at all, but rather like a sibling with a slightly different age difference.

However, advanced cultivation and inheritance do have the effects of prolonging life and delaying aging, which is not abnormal.

Head greeted the red-haired Countess again, and when he saw his father, Little Luke and Serelu pounced on him happily, being held in one hand by Duke West, and listening to the children's words with their charming blue eyes slightly squinted and smiling.

The sixty-one-year-old Duke of West has many nicknames. The human people in Roland like to respect him as Duke of Fire Wolf. The half-elves of the empire called him "our Grand Duke" because of their gratitude. In the words of many nobles, especially the nobles in the central part of the imperial capital, he is the so-called "king of hybrids".

By the way, he is also the mentor of Dolu Olympus IV, the current queen of the Olympus Empire, at least in name.

"You two keep playing that sand table warrior." Duke West patted the head of his beloved son and daughter, sent the two children away, and then asked Head to sit on the lawn together.

This surprised Head. He once heard from the Dukes of the Horse that the Grand Duke of West was an old-fashioned man who attached great importance to etiquette, but now he was sitting on the grass so casually talking to him. The contrast was too big.

"Don't worry, I know you are a civilian and it's normal that you are not very good at etiquette among nobles. To be honest, when I was a child, I didn't know how many times I cursed etiquette teachers in my stomach when I was a child." The handsome Duke of West said with a smile.

Always feeling that this great duke has an influence that makes people relax unconsciously, Head naturally spoke: "I have heard from several dukes from the Sakitres family that Mr. West attaches more importance to etiquette."

"Well, those wild boys have been troubled since childhood. They have not been much better when they grow up, nor have they no noble temperament at all," Duke West sighed slightly. "We old guys are very worried. The old guys of the Sakitres family passed away early. If I, an elder, don't set an example, are strict with them, I am really worried whether they can keep the stability of House City."

Head was relieved, and at the same time felt a little strange. In front of this Duke of Fire Wolf, he seemed to be very relaxed. He did not think about his words and things like before, but said whatever he thought. Is this the momentum of a great man or the power of a master-level domain?

"I have been following you for a while since I heard about you from my daughter last time. Well, you have also worked very hard recently. I heard from Sultias that you are trying to tame a new riding beast. It seems to be quite effective, and it is very rare." Duke West glanced at Haider, "and he did not forget the improvement of his own strength, which is even more rare."

The red-haired Countess Wina was still in the logo-shaped, close-fitting leather armor. She bent her long legs and sat cross-legged on the lawn. She looked at Head with interest. After hearing her father's comment, she said: "Head, your source power accumulation has exceeded the fifth level, right?"

"Yes." It's meaningless to hide strength under the attention of two high-level powerful men, so Head could only nod and admit it.

"I have heard of your experience, and there are many twists and turns. It's not bad that Marquis Prince has an heir like you. Unfortunately, you have no blood relationship with him and cannot inherit his title."

Head once revealed his "experience" to his Viscount Sultias, who can only be considered a famous mentor. The reason why he chose the Prince family as a cover-up is that except that there is no descendant of that family that will not cause trouble, another reason is that the inheritance of the Prince family tends to be a combination of water spells and special alchemy secrets, which is somewhat similar to his current devouring inheritance.

"Some things still have to be fought for by yourself."

The Duke of West nodded slightly: "It's best if you think so. Today is a chance. I'll just say it, would you like to be one of the family members of the West?"

Although Haid was mentally prepared for this, he was still a little surprised because his current merit level had not yet reached the conditions for obtaining a noble title. If it was just because of his strength, it was against his intention to become a noble family member of the military thug. So he hesitated for a moment and did not reply immediately.

However, he has always admired Head's talents in all aspects, especially Warcraft breeders, and Wina said: "Heide, you have excellent talents in Warcraft breeding. I believe that your achievements in the future will not be lower than Lord Shultias, so our family is very optimistic about you and hope you will think about it carefully."

In this way, Haid no longer had any scruples. He was about to get up and perform a half-kneel salute, but was stopped by Duke West. He was slightly surprised and looked at him in confusion.

The Grand Duke of West looked at Head and said in a warm voice: "You can see that you are a very ambitious person, but the identity of the family is not a collar that covers you, but a bridge for mutual benefit. I just hope that when you stand on a high place, you will remember your shoulders and arms that gave you support and help." After that, he stretched out his right hand and handed him a small badge to Head.

Head sternly shook his eyes, knowing that Duke West's words were not a defensive warning, but a kind reminder. After remembering this sentence firmly in his heart, he focused his head and solemnly stretched out his hands to take the fine gold badge that represented the identity of a family, which was light in weight but of great significance.

"A more formal ceremony should have been held, but most of the family members are still fighting on the front line, so we can only keep everything simple," Duke West looked at Head, and his eyes were also a little appreciated. "There are not many people as young but not impetuous as you. I am very much looking forward to seeing what you will achieve in ten years."

Head felt a little moved, and he always felt that Duke West had some other meanings in his words, but he also thought that the results he had originally planned to show recently could take advantage of this opportunity to achieve the best results.

"His Excellency Duke, Lord Vina, I wonder if you can take some time to review my recent achievements."

"Oh, the new type of warcraft domestication you have studied during this period has already achieved results?" Red-haired Countess Wina asked in surprise.

"Although it will take some time to become a real combat power, the results of new domestication methods can be reflected now. I believe that the two of you will not disappoint." Head was indeed very confident about the Thunder Winged Wind Snake, which had already taken shape.

After hearing what Head said, Duke West became interested, and stood up first and turned his head to instruct the nearby butler: "Prepare your mount, let's go to the inner city right away."
