"Alright, Durant, you've learned to be flexible."
Rod smiled, "I'll consider your suggestion, including the high-ranking knight we captured earlier."
"But before that, keep a close eye on them for me, investigate what kind of people they really are."
"Yes, my lord Baron."
Durant nodded in response, saying, "Sao, Rein, and Seronie have all returned. Do you want to hold a banquet to reward them?"
"Let's skip the banquet, Gang Le is still outside braving the cold wind."
Rod thought for a moment and instructed, "Let them come over first and distribute their rewards."
"Alright."
Durant nodded, saluted, and immediately turned to relay the orders.
Soon, the three figures of Sao entered the hall one after another.
"My lord," "Saint Master."
The three simultaneously bowed in salute.
Rod nodded and motioned for them to sit down. The Fox Girl stepped forward to pour tea for each of them.
