Aethelwolf smiled at Albert. This was a smart man. He didn’t have anything in his possession right now and the only thing he can offer to Aethelwolf was his loyalty.

“Eat these two pills.” Aethelwolf tossed one Vigor Pellet and one Recovery Pellet to him. Albert’s condition was quite special so Aethelwolf gave him the original version of Recovery Pellet. Its efficiency was greater than the ones he sell in his clinic.

Albert shakingly grabbed both pills and stared at them emotionally. If he could truly recover after eating them, he would serve Aethelwolf for the rest of his life. He didn’t even hesitate and swallowed the two pills simultaneously. He felt a sharp prickling pain in his Hegel, but the pain soon vanished and was replaced with a cool sensation that slowly spread throughout his body.

At this moment, he felt a familiar energy entering his system, strengthening his bones and muscles. This was world essence! He could feel the world essence again!

Albert’s eyes widened when he sensed his Hegel greedily sucking the world essence in the surroundings. He was like a starving camel who had not seen the oasis for a long, long time.

“This...” He almost cried out from happiness when he felt power coursing through his veins. To his amazement, the injured portion of his Hegel had already recovered and it was even reinforced! When he checked his power, he was left stunned.

Late stage Level 3 Esper! He had advanced by one minor level!

“How did this happen?” He muttered incredulously.

Aethelwolf laughed when he saw his disbelief. “Although your Hegel was in a sealed state, it was unconsciously absorbing world essence to nourish itself and slowly heal its damaged part. You just couldn’t feel it since you lost control of your Hegel. The accumulated energy was enough to push you to the late stage Level 3. Didn’t I tell you that I can increase your strength further?”

.....

Albert looked at the smiling young man. He didn’t know what kind of pills he ate, but from how they could heal his injury and even reinforce his Hegel, those two pills were definitely valuable! ‘This guy isn’t a simple Alchemist!’



“My lord, Albert Nicholas will serve you from now on!” He bowed his head deeply. His quivering voice filled with intense emotions. He had finally recovered!

Aethelwolf nodded and didn’t stop the man from offering his gratitude. “From now on, you will be part of the Lassiter Household and you will be the commander of our guards.” He then pointed his hand to Anton, Melissa, and his clone. “This man right here is our family head, Anton Lassiter, and this is his wife, Madam Melissa Lassiter. The child is the heir of the Lassiter Household, Leric Lassiter.”

Albert greeted them one by one.

“Our Lassiter Household is only a Baron Household since Anton has just received the title, but we are by no means weak. You will understand all these things later on.” Aethelwolf closed his eyes after saying these words.

Albert nodded his head and tactfully retreated. He then nodded at Anton and Melissa before going back to the coachman’s seat.

After several hours, they arrived in Dominion District.

It was already nighttime, but there were still a lot of people on the streets.

Rendell eyed the surroundings with a sharp look. The arrival of the new guards made him feel worried. There were a lot of strong people among them and they were even veteran hunters in the Hunter Association! At this moment, the mansion already has two thousand guards on standby. Among them, more than half are normal people. With hundreds of Level 1 Espers and a few dozen level 2 Espers. There were even four Level 3 Espers! With this kind of lineup, a peak stage Level 1 Esper like him was only in the middle ranks. He could only hope that his new boss would not forget that he was the first guard in his mansion.

At this moment, he was guarding the gates of the mansion with nine Level 1 Espers and one Level 2 Esper who was acting as their team leader.

Suddenly, Rendell noticed the team leader turning his head in a certain direction. He followed the team leader’s gaze and he soon heard the sounds of horses galloping and the sounds of carriage wheels.

The other also noticed this and instantly became alert. They held the hilts of their swords as they watched the incoming carriage.

Looking at the normal carriage, it seemed to be the kind used by travelers.

“The coachman is an expert! Stay sharp!” Everyone became serious when they heard their team leader’s words.

Rendell gripped the handle of his sword tightly. He furrowed his eyebrows while trying to identify the other people inside the carriage.

“Halt! This is the mansion of Sir Aethelwolf! Identify yourself!” The team leader shouted when he noticed that the carriage was moving in the direction of the mansion gate.

The carriage stopped in front of the restless guards and they saw the coachman calmly jumping off from his seat. His movement looked steady and casual, but everyone’s faces immediately changed when they saw this. ‘A top expert!’ The guards roared in their hearts.

To the guards’ amazement, the expert walked in front of them and cupped his fists. “My name is Albert Nicholas, a servant of Lord Aethelwolf.”

“Rendell, how have you been?” Rendell’s eyes widened when he heard the familiar voice.

Everyone turned their gazes and they saw a handsome black-haired man looking at Rendell with a smile.

“Sir Aethelwolf!” Rendell shouted excitedly.



“Eh? That man is Sir Aethelwolf?” The guards were shocked by this revelation and the team leader also heaved a sigh of relief.

“Greetings, Sir Aethelwolf! We are the hunters sent by the Hunter Association. From now on, we will be serving under your command.” The team leader bowed his head at Aethelwolf.

“Oh? Not bad! It looks like Verson and Ryk didn’t go back on their words. I would have visited them personally if you guys weren’t here yet. Anyway, let’s save the chitchat later. Open the gates.” Aethelwolf chuckled.

The team leader nodded his head and he ordered the guards to open the gates.

“Rendell, you will be coming with us inside.” Aethelwolf said.

Rendell was elated when he heard this and he immediately followed behind Aethelwolf. “Thank you, Sir Aethelwolf!” He muttered.
