Seeing the notification from the system, Theo immediately asked his father,

"Father, let me come along to help find the materials."

"With my abilities and talents, maybe I can help find these materials."

"So dad stays here, to take care of my mother and younger siblings, also to take care of this region so it stays safe."

Theo tried to convince his father that he could also help in finding the remaining materials for the development of their territory. However, Theo asked his father to keep his home and family safe, while the ones who went to look for the materials were Theo and three Rank C level Knights.

The next day, Theo was getting ready to carry his luggage and brought a sword which Theo carried for his long journey, which could take a month. Meanwhile, the three Knights carried carts made of wood to be used when collecting materials, so carrying them would be easier. However, with the mission given, Theo couldn't postpone it any longer, he had to find these materials as soon as possible.

Theo was so happy but a little annoyed with his current self and said,

"Okay! All the preparations are done, now is the time for my first journey in this world, yes, although this is a little different from what I imagined, which should be me being a rich young master."

"But now I'm just a poor nobleman, my fate is really bad." 

After everything was ready, they said goodbye to explore the area around the nearby mountains and cliff cliffs. Apart from looking for materials, they also find out information about the area where Theo and his family currently live.

"It's time to go! I have to be able to get these materials to complete the mission from the system"

"And for sure, hehe... I can get another skill prize, hehe... hehe." Theo said with a smile greedy for the skills of the system.

Theo and three Knights began their journey, exploring an area they had never looked at before. During the journey, Theo and his three guard knights were amazed and surprised to see the views of the surrounding area, lots of big trees, and lots of plants with beautiful flowers such as roses, jasmine, and also flowers that were similar to the lavender flowers that existed in Theo's previous life.

Apart from that, there were also many herbal plants visible around him. Theo started to take some of these herbal plants for his mother, because Theo's mother liked alchemy, his Knights also helped take these herbal plants. 

They have been exploring this area for about five days, and during the journey they also managed to record the location of the area on paper and it could be projected directly with Theo's ability, namely Blueprint Projection, this made it easier to explore this area without having to take detailed notes. 

"Young master, if you look at the weather conditions, it looks like it will rain today. So it's better for us to find a place to take shelter first." Said one of the Knights who was guarding Theo.

Theo, whose head looked up at the sky, seemed to see the condition of the clouds,

"Hmph, you're right, looks like we should find a place to shelter."

"Come on, hurry up, before it rains."

When they were in a hurry to find a place, suddenly it looked from a distance like there was a very large rock, and if you looked closer it turned out that the rock was a cave. Theo and his troops rushed to the cave to take temporary shelter until the rain stopped.

"Everyone! Look over there, it looks like a cave made of stone, let's take shelter there for a while." Theo said in a very hasty tone because it had started to rain.

"Good Young Master!"

Theo and his troops were finally able to take shelter in the cave. However, when Theo was about to rest for a moment, suddenly a voice was heard which was a bit surprising to Theo and his troops.

"Awooo!"

When he heard that voice, Theo got up from his rest, and his three guards began to take out their swords on alert and protect young master Theo.

"Young master! Be careful, stay behind us!" Said one of the Knights.

"Thank you! You all should be careful too." Theo said in an alert manner and was wary of the sound he had just heard.

"Grrrr!"

"Awooo!"

The sound was heard again, and seemed to be getting closer to where Theo and his troops were resting.

"Young master, it seems like it's the sound of a wolf warning us that this is its territory." Said one of Theo's guards.

"Um, well, thank you. But if I may ask, what are your names? Hehe, sorry I don't know your names all this time." Theo with a confused and embarrassed facial expression because he didn't know the name of his own Knight all this time.

"...." The three Knights were silent, hearing that their young master did not know their names.

"Hehe, young master, don't joke, this is not the time to joke." Said the Knight.

However, suddenly the wolf appeared in front of them with a very sharp gaze and strong killing intent. Then a system notification appeared from Theo.

"DING!"

[System Notification : Architect Origin] - v1.0

[System Alert] - Rare Entity Detected

[Beast Rank E Detected]

[Species Name : Silverleaf Fox]

[Additional Mission: Capture the Beast Silverleaf Fox]

[Completion Reward: Obtain the Silverleaf Fox Territory Guardian Pet]

Theo was so happy, and smiled broadly like crazy. He didn't expect that this additional mission would have to capture that wolf and as a reward given from the system. It also happened that the Caerstellar family currently lacked guards who could guard their territory at any time.

"Hey you guys! I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't know your names."

"But what is certain is that this is an order from your young master."

"Let's catch the wolf, and don't let anyone die!"

Theo's grinning face was happy but a little scary, making the Knights guarding him a little worried that his young master was a little crazy or might have eaten something wrong.

"Alright young master!" 

"Luckily, this wolf is still small. So it's possible that it's still a Rank F or E wolf." Said one of Theo's guardian Knights with a calm demeanor.

"CLANG!"

They started to attack the wolf, but used the hilt of their sword to inflict light wounds so as not to kill the wolf. However, there was something a little different about the wolf when it attacked. The wolf attacked like it was protecting something. Theo immediately knew this.

At that time, there were around fifteen wolves in the wolf pack, and it looked like they were trying to protect a certain area from being passed by Theo and his troops.

"Hmph, something seems strange, why do the wolves always attack and then return to their original position when they come?

"I have to see it in person."

Theo tried to find a gap in the fight, so he could enter the area that the wolf always protected. And when Theo succeeded, suddenly Theo was silent for a moment and his gaze seemed to be looking at something very big.

At that time, Theo saw the Beast's huge figure, about 3 times the size of an adult. The monster turns out to be the guard of this cave area that Theo wants to catch.
