Lazarus helped make bricks for the second wall. It didn't feel like it had been 2 months that the exploration team of Grandpa Galan and the others had gone to Frost Highland.
"Darling, do you want to rest?" Deviela asked.
"I still have a lot of work here and where are Cathrine and the others?"
"Cathrine is learning to cook with Freya and Lilian. Iris, Theresia, Alyssa, Carissa and Felicity are planting flowers in the garden of the 12 newly built Regulus Castles." Deviela answered.
"Elder Theodore, I'll rest first! There's something I have to do!" Lazarus said to Elder Theodore who cut the sedimentary rocks beside him.
"Brother Urs! We've said many times you shouldn't help us for development! In these 2 months you, Alastair and Icarus have been working day and night!" Theodore yelling.
"Grand Duke, leave this to all of us!" A short red-haired man said.
"Grand Duke, I want to work with you forever! Good food, good wine, science, bonuses and enough rest! Even in winter, food is so plentiful." A short white-haired man said.
...****************...
Lazarus and Deviela went towards the children who were practicing magic skills and fighting. Jeanne and Dion are their trainers, after doing their chores they train the boys to fight.
"Grandfather!" The little Blossom ran towards Lazarus and hugged him.
"Lion little girl, did you make a lot of new friends?" Lazarus is riding Blossom.
"Lindsey, Linnea, Dariel, Aaron and Reynard are very strong!" Blossom says.
Lazarus finds out about Lindsey and Linnea, they are both the daughters of Bart and one of the superior seeds. But Lazarus doesn't know who Dariel, Aaron and Reynard are.
"Dariel, Aaron and Reynard, kamari!" Lazarus called the 3 children.
Dariel is an 8-year-old boy, he has long ice crystal blue hair and blue eyes. Aaron is a 10-year-old boy with long blond hair with green eyes, in mouth coverings and Reynard is a golden-haired Golden Tiger Beastman race boy, eyes are green and 13 years old with many scars on his body and face.
Reynard, Aaron and Dariel kneel. "Grand Duke Regulus, may you have many blessings and happiness."
"Do you have parents?"
"Grand Duke, we don't have any parents. The three of us are orphans who live on the streets and do anything to survive." Aaron answered while touching his mouthpiece.
Lazarus used the Eye Of Divine Beast Master Skill.
Name: Aaron.
Resurrection: Job Swordman Of Shadow Rank S+ Job Swordman Of Darkness Moon Rank SS, Spearman Of Darkness Nightmare Rank SS.
Name: Dariel.
Resurrection: Job Spearman Rank S, Job Spearman Of Azure Ice Rank SS.
Name: Reynard.
Resurrection: Berserker Rank S, Berserker Black Night Violent Rank SS.
"Did you three not have a house?" Lazarus asked.
"Duke Regulus, we don't have a home. But we had the same fate, even though we had just met in Regulus. We live in different Kingdoms, but we can understand each other." Dariel answered.
"Haha. Grand Duke, are you very strong? Can I duel bare-handed with you?" Reynard smiled.
"Relin!" Dariel and Aaron shut Reynard's mouth.
Lazarus touched his chin. "Well, I'll duel barehanded with you and what's the prize if you or I win??" Lazarus smiled.
"If I can defeat you, I ask for 100 Million Gold Coins and if you defeat me I will give you my treasure, soul, body and life." Reynard stared at Lazarus sharply.
"All right, I'm taking it."
Lazarus and Reynard went to the middle of the field. Rion, Jane, Deviela and all the kids there want to watch the duel of Lazarus and Reynard.
Reynard took off his shirt. On his muscular body were many scars from stabs and slashes, swords and knives.
"Duke Regulus, you must take off your clothes! I'm a real fighter and not like the Nobles out there who have very smooth skin like babies." Reynard stared at Lazarus sharply.
"Relin!" Dariel yells.
"Well, I'll take my shirt off, too." Lazarus unclothed his shirt with numerous slash wounds, stabs, burns, arrow marks all over his body that were lined with burly muscles.
Reynard widened his eyes seeing many extremely fatal scars on Lazarus' body. The body was thin, but it was lined with burly muscles as if flesh armor was lining its body.
"How can one survive with such a wound!" Reynard yells.
"Haha. Little bastard, I've had so many fights and almost died. Don't you boast of your scar as a badge of victory and strength? You think I'm a weak and arrogant noble?" Lazarus laughing.
The wound was obtained by Lazarus in the past before his Regeneration Skill rose to Rank S. Arguably a wound that could not be healed by a Regeneration Skill under Rank S. Although Lazarus could treat all those scars with Elixir, but Lazarus considered all of these wounds to be a victory medal.
Reynard and Lazarus put up fighting horses. They were ready to fight with their bare hands without weapons.
"Start!" Rion yelling.
Reynard quickly threw the sand into Lazarus' eyes, then jumped up and attacked Lazarus with a spinning kick.
"Successful!" inner Reynard.
Lazarus endured Reynard's attack with ease, then clasped Reynard's feet and threw him into the air. However, Reynard was able to land seamlessly on the ground, then move agilely towards Lazarus. Using his sharp claws.
Lazarus dodged all of Reynard's attacks with ease as if he already knew the direction of Reynard's attack.
Lazarus punched Reynard in the stomach, then kicked Reynard in the face. Reynard experienced pain as if stabbed by a spear.
Reynard fell to the ground, then coughed and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Reynard bounced back, then charged back towards Lazarus with more agility and speed.
Lazarus smiled softly. "Your instinct is very sharp."
Reynard did not answer him, but continued to attack Lazarus with more Aggressive might. But he could not land a single blow on Lazarus' body.
"How can Duke possibly dodge all of my attacks? Didn't Celine say Duke Regulus was a very weak man? Even Blossom and Celine easily attacked him!" inner Reynard.
Celine and Blossom smiled.
"Sufuku. Me and Blossom can freely attack Mr. Urs with warm hugs." Celine said as she hugged her body.
"Grandfather, indeed weak to little girls! However, I am not saying that he is a weak fighter! Grandma Iris told me that Grandpa had already experienced many duels, fights and wars." Blossom says.
Dariel and Aaron looked at Blossom and Iris with terrified expressions. They now knew how scary the two little girls before him were.
Reynard lay in the snow panting and his body was covered with bruises. He got back up, then looked towards a handsome man with long black hair and blue eyes in front of him.
"Did you give up?"
"No!"
"Well, get up again!" Lazarus smiled.
Reynard got up again and charged towards Lazarus.10 minutes passed, Reynard's face was like the head of a pig due to bruises. His body was filled with bruises.
"Did you give up?"
"No!"
Elise who was there wanted to stop the fight, but Rion forbade her. Rion finds out Lazarus has a reason to do all this.
"This bastard has an attitude like Cruel!" inner Lazarus recalled the cute, but cruel, child of the Dark Beastman White Tiger.
Reynard got back up, but Lazarus made Reynard fall to the ground again and again.5 minutes passed Reynard tried to get up, then walked towards Lazarus. However, after 3 steps he walked he felt every part of his body ache and knelt down.
"Did you give up?" Lazarus asked.
"No! When I give up! I'm gonna lose everything! Like I lost my sister!" Reynard sobbed, he recalled his sister being held hostage by Gank members in the Imperial Capital of Swallow.
Reynard crawled towards Lazarus with the rest of his strength, then wanted to bite Lazarus' foot. But Lazarus dodged him and kicked Reynard's body until it was thrown and hit a big tree.
Reynard fainted instantly. Lazarus walked towards Reynard, but Dariel and Aaron immediately confronted Lazarus.
"Grand Duke Regulus, please forgive Reynard however he is our friend and best friend!" Aaron says.
Lazarus glanced at Elise and gestured to treat Reynard. Elise learns of Lazarus's Cue and secretly goes towards Reynard.
"Do you want to replace Reynard to fight me?"
Dariel glanced at Aaron, then Aaron nodded lightly.
"Duke Regulus, we'll fight you. But we're not empty-handed combat experts like Reynard." Aaron says.
Lazarus now knew the reason Reynard needed 100 Million Gold Coins. He needed 100 Million Gold Coins to redeem his female brother who was in hostage and Reynard was blackmailed by those men.
"Reynard you are so stupid! Even though you gave away 100 Million Gold Coins, they will not release your brother." Inner Lazarus.
Lazarus took out various Artifacts of Rank Unique weapons, then had Aaron and Dariel choose them.
"Let's change the rules. If you could land an attack on me. I'll give you a lot of wealth! 100 Million Gold Coins and woke you up a magnificent castle." Lazarus says.
Aaron chose the Great Sword and Dariel chose Spear. They find out that Lazarus is the strongest man they have ever fought and his strength almost matches that of Lord Rion.
"Start!" Rion says.
15 Minutes passed, Aaron and Dariel lying helplessly on the ground. They had bruises all over his body, but Lazarus did not target their face like Reynard.
"Are you giving up!"
"No!" Aaron and Dariel smiled, they felt a feeling they had never felt while fighting.
"The spirit of the fighter! It's like seeing myself as young as they are." - Lazarus.
Aaron and Dariel's relationship is getting better. Now all their attacks are getting smoother and more targeted.
"Is this what you call talent?" inner Lazarus.
15 Minutes passed, Dariel and Aaron felt all of his body numb. They both fainted with open eyes.
"Fire!"
Lazarus uses the Fire Element Skill, a moment later Dariel and Aaron wake up in burning pants. They tried to put out the fire by rubbing it into the cold snow.
"We give up" Dariel and Aaron shouted.
Reynard who saw the fight with Elise was very surprised by the full strength of Aaron and Reynard. In his place there was not a single child who could match Reynard's strength, but Dariel and Aaron were extremely strong. If they fight with Reynard Dariel and Aaron the victory is very difficult to decide.
"Aaron, can you open your mouth?"
"Duke Regulus, my mouth is so disgusting! People think I'm worse than a Demon race." Aaron answered.
"I've won the fight! Is not your life now mine?" Lazarus asked.
Aaron took off his mouthpiece. Aaron's mouth was torn to the cheek, but the wound was not a birth defect. But the wound caused by a sharp blade incision by someone.
Blossom, Celine and all the children there were frightened when they saw the wound in Aaron's mouth.
Aaron closed his mouth immediately. "I'm sorry, Duke Regulus, I've shown you something disgusting!" Aaron prostrate.
"No! You are a handsome man. I'll have your face surgically removed, but the wound won't heal 100%, it'll still have a little scar left."
Aaron shed tears. "Duke Regulus, I swear on behalf of Goddess Electra will be your follower!"
"Dariel, are you a noble? Why are you going to the Northern Continent!"
"Duke, I am Dariel Galanthus! I am the first son of Baron Andreas Galanthus the younger brother of Duke Deandra Galanthus! But my uncle slaughtered all our families and I became a vagabond!" Dariel prostrate.
"Well, you can tell me everything later. Rion, Elise slaughtered everyone who took Reynard's sister hostage! You should also tear the mouths of those who tore Aaron's mouth!"
"According to your orders, Mr. Urs." Rion and Elise smiled long ago Lazarus gave no orders to them.
Blossom, Celine and the kids there were terrified to see Lazarus being so cruel. But they think that the bad guys deserve it all.
Reynard, Aaron and Dariel kneel.
"I swear to follow Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus or Urs The North my whole life! In the name of the Goddess of Light Electra I will be the Knight protecting the Duke!" Aaron swear.
"We swear too! We will work hard and willingly sacrifice our lives for the sake of Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus." Reynard and Dariel shouted.
All the children there whispered to each other, then knelt down. Although they knew nothing, but the man before him was a good person.
Deviela looked at Lazarus with sparkling eyes, then whispered. "Can we go to the flower garden after this? I've prepared something special for you."
"No! I still have a lot of work!" Lazarus answered.
"I'm pregnant with your son! Don't you want to be with me for a minute?" Deviela smile.
"What!!"
"What kind of incest is this the effect of the Lion Passion Rank SS Skill and the Eternal Mighty Lion Fruit Rank Mythical? Waitaminute! If Deviela was pregnant, could Alyssa and Cathrine also be pregnant? I have to wear the * so that all my women don't get pregnant every year" Lazarus said.
