Today’s punishment is over!” After five or six seconds, Gervas withdrew his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not ask why three slaps had become one, or why that single slap had lasted five or six seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master and maid then returned to their duties: Carolyne went to pour out the wash water, while Gervas headed to the dining hall for breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing breakfast, Gervas intended to ask if Eve Lan  had risen, but learned she had already been training in the drill field for about two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the lord of the castle could only awkwardly rub his nose, then headed for the drill field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This drill field was newly established, specifically Kaipi  for the newly recruited guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was located on an open patch of land beside the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had a running track been laid out, but also obstacles, balance beams, parallel bars, single bars, and dumbbells had been constructed from wood and stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this world’s simplistic combat drills, Gervas believed the exercise methods from his past life might yield better results for rapidly increasing physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In time, he would also have his subordinates practice marching in formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a transmigrator, he simply could not tolerate the chaotic appearance of the guard units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all this was predicated on these soldiers being full-time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a minor noble like Gervas would dare—and afford—to support over a hundred men who did nothing but eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived at the drill field, he found many guards gathered around Eve Lan .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, are you all idle today? No one training, just standing around to watch a show?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas’s sudden appearance startled the guards; they scrambled back to form ranks, and Laurence began cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Knight Commander Lei Meng and the five knights chuckled as they approached, unafraid Gervas would reprimand them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, yesterday I thought it strange you’d teach a girl archery—but now I truly admire you!” Mi Gen spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Gervas was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng smiled and said, “My lord, look—had I not seen it with my own eyes, I’d never believe she was the same girl who couldn’t even draw a bow yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a sharp whistle pierced the air, followed by an arrow embedding itself squarely in the bullseye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the distance was only twenty meters, remember: yesterday, Eve Lan  couldn’t even draw a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden bloodline—truly incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas mentally exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suspected Eve Lan  had likely awakened the Golden Pupil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Gervas walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve Lan  was completely absorbed in shooting, unaware of what was happening behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even she found her own state strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, half-asleep, she felt her eyes grow scorching hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first she thought she had a fever, but the heat didn’t last long, so she dismissed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, after waking, seeing her sister begin cleaning with the other maids, she took her black bread and calmly came to the drill field to practice archery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as soon as she began, she noticed something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, under her master’s instruction, she couldn’t aim at the target at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, when she focused on the target, the once egg-sized bullseye suddenly appeared as large as a watermelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot an arrow—and hit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only the edge, compared to yesterday’s nine misses out of ten, it was like heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, she practiced archery without distraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for her insufficient strength causing her arm to shake, Eve Lan  believed she could have hit the exact center of the bullseye with every shot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very good, Eve Lan !”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice came from beside her ear; Eve Lan  startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eve Lan , your progress today is unbelievable—congratulations, you’re one step closer to becoming a knight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, this is all thanks to your teaching!” Eve Lan  lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this master who ensured her sister’s Anwen  life, and who never coveted her body, Eve Lan  was already deeply satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t dream of becoming a true knight—only that her sister could grow up safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, this isn’t due to my teaching—it’s because of your bloodline, Eve Lan . Do you know you possess the Golden Bloodline?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Carolyne, Eve Lan ’s personality and the roles Gervas needed her to fulfill in the future were entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Gervas could not conceal the truth of the Golden Bloodline from Eve Lan —it would accelerate her growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Eve Lan ’s sister was her emotional anchor, so Gervas had no fear she’d flee once she grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden Bloodline?” Clearly, Eve Lan  had never heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas immediately explained to Eve Lan  about the Golden Bloodline and the Golden Pupil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Eve Lan  remembered: her father had only become a titled knight five or six years ago, and later rose to Silver Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d often heard servants flatter her by praising her father as a cultivation genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was likely her father truly possessed the Golden Bloodline Gervas spoke of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the bandits not besieged him and killed him, he might have grown even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas immediately sensed the change in Eve Lan ’s expression. “Eve Lan , don’t be sad. As long as you grow stronger yourself, I will support you in avenging your father!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve Lan  trembled slightly, gazing gratefully at this nobleman of the kingdom, whom rumors had always painted as evil and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so kind, so benevolent…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching Eve Lan , he could not forget Zhui Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All day yesterday, Zhui Yue had hidden in the back garden, and Gervas had ordered no one to disturb it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he wondered whether Zhui Yue had undergone its transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gervas arrived at the back garden, he immediately showed delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Zhui Yue’s forehead, the small bump that had once been a mere nub had now grown into a horn over ten centimeters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhui Yue’s stature, once that of an ordinary warhorse, had now risen to two and a half meters—equal to that of a Flame Horse!\u003C\u002Fp>",1173,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5a3dbbb9510a3e937059a911f41b8aa6a03f27cd8107110791942c158745f1a7","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-37","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-35",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
