Good morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, good morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bells jingled\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two lovely maids entered the room; Gervas temporarily set aside his worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, nothing was more important than his own lord enjoying himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, working himself to exhaustion, worrying day and night—what was the point of being a lord at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Caroline, Rebeca, good morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas stood up with a warm smile; the two maids immediately got to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caroline walked toward the clothes rack, where Gervas’s silk ceremonial robes hung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebeca set down the copper basin and took a warm towel to wash Gervas’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, is this pressure alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect, Rebeca!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebeca’s movements were now precise, her touch just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Giggling, Rebeca, look—you’ve been praised again by the lord! I’m so envious of you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebeca’s face flushed crimson. “Sister Caroline, without you, I never would’ve learned to serve the lord so quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rebeca speaks truly, Caroline—your contribution is no small thing!” Gervas knew Caroline wasn’t jealous, merely teasing Rebeca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t stop him from soothing the senior maid too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Caroline’s face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Gervas added, “Of course, the punishment still cannot be waived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, Caroline knows,” Caroline’s eyes shimmered, making Gervas want to start the punishment right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Set out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Gervas’s command, the party of six knights and thirty cavalrymen rode out of the castle toward Wheat Fragrance Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had light cavalry, Gervas no longer brought infantry on his outings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, cavalry was faster and more efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such a display—if the Storm Lordship weren’t so remote—would have drawn a hundred percent attention in any major city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was unmistakably the grandeur of a noble lord, making Gervas an extremely dashing man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, this is Maple Hill. The mountain in the center is its highest peak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. The rest of you wait here. Lei Meng, you few come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the crimson maple forest, Gervas arrived at his destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This precious thing—the Life Spring—he dared not delay a single moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Maple Hill wasn’t large, only about ten kilometers in undulating expanse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas found a serf familiar with the terrain and directly reached the hill’s highest peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After instructing the cavalry, Gervas took Lei Meng, Mi Gen, and several knights into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was autumn; fallen leaves blanketed the ground, opening up the view ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no danger, Gervas’s group soon reached the foot of the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, why have we come here today?” Mi Gen asked, curious at the somewhat desolate surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to find a spring source!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Gervas observed the flow of the stream before him, three or four meters wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was a spring, following the stream’s course would lead him right to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A spring? My lord? Is it a spiritual spring?” Mi Gen’s eyes lit up—he had seen the spiritual spring at Swan Lake, which had drawn the Azure-winged Swans to settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If another one appeared, perhaps other wonders might emerge too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something better than a spiritual spring!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… My lord, are there really things better than spiritual springs?” Mi Gen blinked. “The only one I know of is the Elves’ Life Spring—surely you don’t mean that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Gen spoke the last sentence jokingly, not believing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gervas smiled and nodded. “Correct, Mi Gen—you guessed right. It’s the Life Spring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this… My lord, you’re not teasing me, are you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I’d be that bored?” Gervas asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Gen shrank back. “My lord, you’d never be that bored—but… but this is just too unbelievable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, despite his words, Mi Gen searched with the greatest vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could truly see the legendary Life Spring that could revive the dead, his life would be worth boasting about forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng and the other knights said less than Mi Gen, but upon learning Gervas sought the Life Spring, they too gave their utmost effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, the stream soon split into five branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of these five branches could be the Life Spring’s source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Gervas’s group was large, so they split up to search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, a discovery was made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who found it was Mi Gen himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, come quick! This little ditch of mine flows straight from a spring—is this the Life Spring you’re looking for?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the dense forest, Gervas heard Mi Gen’s shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t delay; he headed straight for Mi Gen’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Gervas arrived at Mi Gen’s spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a hollow on the left side of the hill peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around it rose stone cliffs seven or eight meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the cliffs, a spring continuously bubbled forth water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water gathered into a stream, flowing steadily toward the main river downstream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, is this the Life Spring?” Mi Gen looked at him with eager hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas had already faintly sensed unusual elemental fluctuations, but he couldn’t be certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to test it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, how do we test it?” Mi Gen couldn’t wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simple—extend your hand.” Gervas smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Gen, confused, extended his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp flash—*pfft*—a bloodline appeared on his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try it—see if this water can heal your wound!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it can, then Mi Gen, you’ve truly found the Life Spring!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Gen’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy hell! He silently exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s how you test it—but isn’t this wound a bit too big?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just to verify, a tiny puncture on the fingertip would’ve sufficed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, before this thought fully formed, Mi Gen’s eyes widened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh? My lord, look! Look at my hand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mi Gen dipped his hand into the spring, faint green specks appeared in the clear water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These green specks slowly drifted toward the wound on his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, visibly, the nearly five-centimeter wound began to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the bleeding stopped; then flesh regenerated; then a scab formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the scab formed, it naturally peeled away—the five-centimeter wound shrank to four, then three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then… well, there was no further change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the green specks had been entirely consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, My lord, why did it stop?!” Mi Gen blinked, pulling his hand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a three-centimeter scab remained, it would heal naturally by tomorrow or the day after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this still fell short of the legendary Life Spring’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mi Gen, this spring is merely an embryonic form of the Life Spring—it contains the Life Element but is not yet fully developed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To make it a true Life Spring like the Elves’, you must build a large enough pool to gather more Life Energy and let it nurture itself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see! My lord, this is still amazing! If the Life Spring truly matures, we’ll never fear injuries in battle again!” Mi Gen’s disappointment vanished at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as long as the Life Spring existed, even waiting was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lei Meng and the others arrived, drawn by the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Mi Gen describe the spring’s miracle while showing his wound, their faces lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas wasted no time—he ordered Lei Meng and the others to bring stones and mark the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Old John could send workers to build a spring pool, accumulating the water and Life Element.\u003C\u002Fp>",1209,"2026-06-20T22:44:02.338Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6aca177982f1a226d721c6978e25e102e087cc825ef702cec9bc3b75675ce129","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-334","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-332",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
