Rhett''s thoughts were simple.


    If the relics of the noble from the ancient Dan Kingdom were truly discovered in the Small Bramble Forest, there was a high possibility that there were more ancient artifacts hidden there.


    "I understand, my lord," Swita responded with a bow.


    Rhett then recalled that Cootin handed over the antique just yesterday evening. Feeling curious, Rhett asked, "Rylee, how did Cootin discover the antique? Wasn''t he supposed to be busy with the construction of the outer fort these past two days?"


    "You’re right, Father. The discovery of the antique is indeed rted to the construction of the outer fort. Cootin exined that he had received new orders to chop down a batch of bramble trees yesterday. Since they rarely needed to cut down this type of tree inrge quantities before, and because the Small Bramble Forest is such a chaotic environment, he decided to clear an uneven area of thend, which led to the discovery..." Rylee said as he took a bite of purple sweet potato mash and recounted the events in an orderly manner.


    So... it was rted to dealing with the bramble wood?


    Rhett remained calm on the surface, but his heart was stirred. In just two days, the trajectory of events had shifted once again!


    If it hadn’t been for the arrival of Kules and Tadel on the night of the extreme cold, there wouldn''t have been any ns for constructing the outer fort.


    Without the construction ns, Cootin wouldn’t have been required to chop down the usually unneeded bramble wood.And if no one cleared the bramble wood area, who knows when this antique zone would have been discovered?


    Suppressing his emotions, Rhett felt a heavy weight on his mind.


    He had already learned that without his intervention, the members of the caravan this time would only include Rylee, Tuck, and Kules, along with a few apprentice knights and retainers.


    This was the same lineup as in thest simtion. If he allowed them to depart as nned, another tragedy would surely unfold.


    ncing at Tuck, who was happily devouring an entire slice of oatmeal bread, Rhett thought about the newly discovered antique and the potential unknown changes it might bring. He decided to lead the caravan personally and see what difference that would make.

    [March 15th. Upon the return of the most recent caravan, Rylee urgently reported to you that the antique you sold privately to the president of Dalton Auction House turned out to be a relic of a noble from the ancient Dan Kingdom, Count Zach. Each piece contained hiddenbat techniques and mid-level breathing techniques, and the entire collection sold for over a thousand gold coins. You regretted it deeply, but it was toote.]
