There was no choice.

Faced with his father’s question, Edward had no choice but to come up with an excuse he had prepared beforehand, “I found a fruit growing in the middle of the lake when I went out this time, guarded by wild beasts. The thirteen knights sacrificed themselves for this!”

Upon hearing this, Duke Ják said solemnly, “They are all warriors of the Feylan Family!”

“Don’t worry, Duke. I’ve already made arrangements for their families!” Field quickly said.

“Alright! Edward, continue.”

“After eating that fruit, I discovered that my five senses had greatly improved. Even my speed and strength had increased significantly!”

He had thought of this when he challenged Field.

The family members around him were all envious of Edward’s good luck.

Duke Ják laughed after hearing that, “You can be said to be one of the top existences among your peers in the Empire. With the help of this fruit, your future can be said to be bright. If nothing unexpected happens, my title will be passed down to you!”

The moment that was said, there was an uproar!

What did he just say!

Everyone was well aware of Edward’s status as the heir to the Feylan Family, but Duke Ják had not announced it publicly. As potential heirs themselves, everyone held onto their last hope.

This time, Duke Ják’s public announcement was undoubtedly a huge blow to those who were eying the title.

They looked at the handsome Edward standing there, not knowing what to feel.

He was so dazzling!

“Edward, my child, in the entire Levi Empire, you are definitely the strongest amongst your peers! The future of our Feylan Family will depend on you!”

Edward rubbed his nose at Duke Ják, who was getting more and more excited as he spoke. Was it wrong to reveal his strength so early?

“Father, you flatter me too much. There are as many geniuses as there are stars in the sky in the Levi Empire. What’s more, the capital institute is filled with hidden geniuses and talents. I’m just average!”

Edward stared at the expressions on the faces around him for a moment. He had gone too far.

As soon as he said that, a few sons who were still trying to compete with Edward for the position of Duke instantly became depressed. They were so angry that they could explode on the spot.

Edward called himself average?!

If he was average, wouldn’t they be worse than dogs?!

It had been a few days since the duel that determined his title.

The heirs who wanted to compete with Edward went to the Imperial Academy for further studies.

They hoped to be able to contribute to the Empire in the future and obtain a position.

Those with ambition would succeed!

Edward specially sent them off before they left.

After that parting, rumors of brotherhood began to spread in the city.

This caused Edward’s popularity with the people to rise.

Today, early in the morning, a group of carriages drove out from the Feylan Capital.

This was the convoy that Edward had sent to the Golin Family’s territory.

There was only one carriage, around ten knights, and a maid to take care of the noble in the carriage.

Of course, Edward indicated that he did not need it. His father, Ják, had forced this on him.

Edward lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the surrounding village gradually disappeared, replaced by an endless field of wheat and forest.

Along the way, there were a few farmers who were hurrying back from their small roads. When they saw the Feylan Family’s symbol on the carriage, they all looked at it with respect.

His father and Field had no reason to stop him from going on this trip.

However, before he left, his mother gave him a letter to bring to the Duchess of the Golin Family.

They did not encounter any wild beasts or bandits along the way.

After all, no bandit or thief would dare to attack a noble’s carriage.

If there were really people who were blind, they would face the risk of being hanged.

The Golin Family’s territory was located in the south of the Empire, while the Feylan Family was near the north.

This journey was destined to be a rather long one.

Edward called out his system and sat in the carriage while analyzing his physical condition.

[System prompt: The host’s fused bloodline does not show any abnormal signs. Additionally, the host’s spiritual power is slowly increasing, and the rate of growth is getting slower and slower.]

“Spiritual power?” Edward had a thoughtful gaze.

If nothing went wrong, the requirement to become a Wizard was the amount of spiritual power one had!

The spiritual power of a normal person was below 1, and the aptitude to become a Wizard was to be above 1.

Edward knew about his aptitude. After transmigrating, his spiritual power had already exceeded 1.

After fusing with the curse of the Beauty Snake, his spiritual power had increased by several times, reaching a total of 15!

Now, he did not know he ranked among the Wizards!

He had no choice. Even if he searched the entire Empire’s library, there were still too few supernatural powers recorded in the system!

The journey passed under Edward’s leisurely observation.

After traveling for about a month, Edward finally arrived at the Golin territory in the south.

The tall and gorgeous castle was leaning against the towering mountain peak. A row of soldiers were patrolling near the moat.

At this moment, a knight who came to investigate walked over.

After seeing the markings on the carriage, he said respectfully, “Welcome, travelers from Feylan, please follow me into the city!”

After the alliance marriage, Feylan and Golin had gotten closer, even though the distance between them was a little far.

After entering the city of Golin, Edward and his party arrived at the Duke’s castle with the letter.

A short while later, the smiling face of Duke Golin greeted them, “Hello, my nephew, Edward from Feylan!”

Edward rubbed his nose. He had not expected his mother to be the younger sister of Duke Golin.

“Hello, Honorable Duke Golin!” Edward gave a standard noble greeting to Duke Golin!

“Oh, what a handsome child. I heard that you’re going to explore the Golin Mountain Range?”

Duke Golin was very satisfied with Edward’s etiquette and said with a smile, “It’s very dangerous inside. Have you really decided to go?”

“Yes, Duke!”

“Alright, I’ll get my administrative officer to give you a pass!”

With her mother’s identity, the entry pass was very easily obtained.

Edward looked at the misty mountains in the distance and took out a map to look at the two places he had guessed.

There was the Moon Lake, located in the center of the Golin Mountain Range, as well as the Land of Fog, south of the Golin Mountain Range.

The origin of the pendant was none other than one of the two locations!
