Eduard finish taking a bath before he had gone to his room. He had a hard time dealing with Estrella a moment ago, she was like a paparazzi that have caught a big news.
"Im tired. It is better to deal with monsters than my sister. At least, their roar and growl is the only thing that you can heard, It feels like I was in a hot seat."
He sat on the bed side and checked his system panel.

His mission progress was still continued and won't be a complished in a day. The only possible to be accomplished this week was the irrigation.
Estimating the time to obtain the Superior Grade Healing Potion. Eduard has to wait up to 3 weeks if he continues his current momentum of hunting. If the hunt was slowed down, it will be extended in more than a month.
He didn't expect Estrella arrival, as he was thinking that the time she will come will be at the time that the potion is on his hands.
"Anyway, having my sister here can guaranteed that my territory can be more safer".he muttered.
Checking his progress, he could reach the ninth Tier of Iron Level within two weeks. He can increase the efficiency of his hunt after his next level up.
He is planning to move on his own at the forest once he reach the sixth tier. He is confident enough that even if he face a beast at the peak of Iron Level he could easily escape it's hunt.
" Okay, now its time for my reward".
A thick book appeared on his hand, opening the book. The book has a brown cover page and an introduction to smithing. There are different pictures of a man holding a hammer inside. There are also blue prints of different weapons and apparatus. On the other corner of the page is the description and explanation on how to properly hit a metal.
Checking out the content, everything was registered on the mind of Eduard. It was shocking that every time he read the content, he can't forget it. He can also feel that he can so what the book describe, right now.
The content of the book can help a blacksmit to even create a semi divine weapon as long as he have materials needed and the cultivation level requirement.
Weapon of this world was also graded apart from people power level. The most common are the normal weapon where it contains only of weapon that a common black smith could create. Followed by low, medium, excellent, superior, legendary, epic, semi divine and divine.
Weapon that graded above normal are able to amplify effects and buffs from the qi or magic of the user. For example, a low level sword could enhance its sharpness and durability as long as you input some energy. For a higher grade they can produce elemental amplification or cause poisoning and paralysis to their target. For those that reach epic grade, they can also have a weapon consciousness. It is where the weapon can also choose their user, and if they are not in their proper owner, they can reduce their abilities to the level of a low grade weapon.
For Divine grade weapons, they are Items that scarce in this world. They may not exist, but to describe this weapon lethality, it is already above the level of common sense of the natives here. It can create phenomenon when they used, and possibly vanished a kingdom if they used to attack.
Eduard was satisfied by this reward, obtaining this manual is equivalent to reducing their time of going to other towns and call for a blacksmith to repair their weapon. As long as he has the materials and tools, he can also create and repairs weapon.
"Ding", the system sound suddenly rang at Eduard's head, looking at his status, another mission appear beneath the panel.
[Mission: Acquire a blacksmith to stay at your territory][Reward: Occupational Talent Appraisal]
'hmm, acquiring a blacksmith? That is rather expensive' , thinking of a black smith. They are in demand occupation, since hunting and wars are common for this world.
Blacksmith are also quite a character, people do often please them just to make request for them.
Now, talking about acquiring. He needed to prepare a large amount of golds just to employ them. In addition, he have to make a plan on how to approach and please them just to work in his territory.
"This mission is a problem, oh and what is this Occupational Talent Appraisal", Eduard pay attention to his Mission Reward. Until now, all the rewards of system are beneficial for him in building a territory. He could say that, some of his mission can be accomplish as long as he direct those people under his command to do it for him.
It is a good news for him, since under his ruler Commands ability, nobody can say 'no' to his desire.
"Maybe, I can only find out the use of this if I manage to accomplish the mission"
....
Four days after.
Eduard was now busy in monitoring the morning routine of his knights. It is almost a week when he distributed the military cultivation for them. Luckily a good news came to him.
Just this morning, Martin reported to him that he feels that he can already feel his breakthrough to silver level.
Hearing his report, Eduard decided to let him leave his post for the time being and let him focus on his breakthrough. He will substitute him for the time being.
Breaking through from another realm to leveling up in another tier has a big difference. In time for break through in another tier, the person can easily feel the increased in strength and the level up was short and safe. On the other hand, breaking to another realm must have a suitable place where the person will not be disturbed. Being disturbed in the process, can lead to internal injury or being stagnated in their realm in the severe cases they can die.
Thus, leading him this morning to supervise them. Eduard was already satisfied by the action of his knights during their routine. Everyone was working hard and doing their routine properly.
He planned that he will develop next is their alertness and their reaction. He wants to make them to be a proper disciplined soldiers, just like the soldiers from earth.
After morning session, he proceeded to the fields to check out the slaves work. Yesterday, the slaves was already done in creating the irrigation for the farm, receiving his rewards of corn seeds from this task.
He asked Angie to direct the slaves into creating another field for planting a few day ago as preparation for receiving the rewards for creating a water irrigation. Today he will proceed on site to distribute the seeds on the slaves.
On his way, he saw Angie who is busy on her work. Eduard smiled as he realized that Angie was more attractive on his bossy attitude on the slaves than being a docile maid. She is giving her instruction clearly. This is the first time he saw how capable Angie is, she is good at giving orders apart from Linda who was good at planning and Calculating.
Noticing Eduard, Angie immediately come to him. Her bossy attitude had a 360 degree turn, turning into a docile maid.
"Y-young Master, I'm sorry if I was not able to notice you. D-do you need something".
Eduard smiled at her, as she turned back to her normal self, "no need to bother, I just came right now. Continue what you are doing, I am pleased to your performance. Good job Angie".
Angie slightly blush, she was happy to hear Eduard's compliment. She had a sense of accomplishment from Eduard's word, boosting her determination to handle her task.
" Oh by the way, here is a sack of corn. Distribute it on the slaves on the new field for planting, they can start.to plant this. Also, tell them to extend the irrigation to the new field and properly watered them daily".
Angie complied to his request and direct the slaves to fetch the bags of corn.
Eduard stay on the field and was happy to see that the grains started to sprout.
"It's a good thing that in a month time I would be able to have a secure source of foods".
