After the celebration, Alaric sent Galanar to give William the fifteen stalks he had promised.

    "Lord Alaric asked me to give this to you." Galanar handed a wooden box to William.

    An Elite Knight! When did House Silversword get another warrior at this level?

    Anthony stared at Galanar in shock.

    Although the latter suppressed his power, Anthony still sensed the overwhelming mana he possessed.

    William took the wooden box. "Thank you. I''ll speak with Lord Alaric soon and personally give him my thanks."

    This was Alaric''s goodwill so he didn''t reject it this time.

    "If you want to use the items inside the box, you are free to use the empty rooms in the mansion." Galanar reminded.

    "There''s no hurry," William replied.

    There were still plenty of guests in the venue. Using the herbs might attract unwanted attention so he didn''t want to absorb them for the time being.

    "Alright. My job here is done." Galanar gave them a fist-palm salute before he turned around and left.

    "Sir, that guy is an Elite Knight!" Anthony exclaimed as soon as Galanar left.@@@@

    William nodded. "I know. And he is not an ordinary Elite Knight either. He is probably stronger than the current commander of Vale''s armed forces."

    "That powerful?" Anthony was surprised by his words.

    "I don''t know how it happened, but he works for Lord Alaric now. The young man, if given enough time, would definitely become a renowned figure like his father, Lord Lucas." William spoke with a serious voice.

    "Enough about that. Let''s see if he really gave the real thing." Anthony turned his attention to the wooden box.

    William looked around.

    When he noticed that there was no one nearby, he slowly opened the lid of the box, revealing mature Dragon Tail Ferns.

    William immediately closed the box after seeing what was inside.

    "It''s the real deal! He really gave you fifteen stalks just like that. Unbelievable." Anthony was stunned.

    William carefully kept the wooden box and stared in a certain direction.

    I will remember this favor, Lord Alaric...

    ***

    Vitality: 27+

    Endurance: 42+

    Mana: 13+

    Battle Points: 1290

    Stat Points: 68

    (Requirements for next advancement: 500 EXP, 100 in all attributes, and 5000 Battle Points)

    After training for two months, I realized that I could no longer increase my mana and my physical abilities through normal methods.

    The only way for me to increase them is by adding stat points. I have only collected 68 stat points after two months of doing the daily missions. This progress is too slow.

    I wish there was another mission for me.

    Alaric sighed while shaking his head.

    I''ll slowly increase my stats. Let''s start by pushing my strength to 100.

    Alaric used 62 unallocated stat points to his strength which immediately elevated it to 100. Now, he was only left with 6 stat points.

    He tried adding more stat points to his strength, but he found out that he couldn''t add more points to it.

    So at my current level, 100 is the limit.

    Without hesitation, he added the remaining 6 stat points to his stamina, pushing it to 34.

    Alaric could sense the changes in his body. Without even checking it, he could tell that his muscles and bones had undergone massive changes.

    So this is how it feels like to max out my strength. I think I can even smash through a thick wall with a single punch.

    Alaric thought as he looked at his clenched fist.

    Suddenly, he noticed a servant running towards him with an urgent look. "My lord!"

    Alaric raised his eyebrows. "What is it?"

    The servant took a moment to catch his breath before he responded. "Our soldiers discovered something in the Evergreen Forest!"

    Alaric narrowed his eyes. "Have you told the baron about this?"

    "Yes, my lord. His lordship is already on his way to the Evergreen Forest." The servant replied cautiously.
