Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

After leaving Friedrich to take care of the Demigryph, Su Li returned to his room. Tonight, he would work hard with Hilda in their cultivation, striving to help her successfully break through to become a High-Rank Apprentice Knight.

Su Li had never been so attentive to his own cultivation.

Regarding this, Su Li's self-assessment was that he couldn't help it; he was just so "benevolent and charitable," with good and evil eventually leading to reward or retribution.

Unlike his early bedtime, the highest level of the Zijing Stronghold, Count Suna's room, was still brightly lit.

Many things had happened today. The Zijing Stronghold had first lost an Elite-Rank Knight with unlimited potential, and now it was about to lose a noble Demigryph. This made the Count's mood very heavy.

When Connor summarized the day's information and reported to him, Count Suna said with anticipation, "My Chief Knight, I need some good news to improve my mood. Is there any good news about Su Li today? Has he made any significant breakthroughs in recruiting people today?"

Looking at Count Suna's expectant eyes, Knight Connor couldn't bear to discourage him, but he still had to report truthfully: "Lord Count, Young Master Su Li... there has been no change in the manpower of his pioneering team."

"No change?" Count Suna asked in surprise, "How is that possible! Yesterday, he already had two Elite Knights, two Formal Knights, and two Apprentice Knights. This scale is enough to support the formation of a small pioneering territory, enough to attract some adventurous knights to join. As long as Su Li recruits people, someone will definitely join his team, and if he's lucky, even Formal Knights are possible."

"How could he possibly still have six people today when he had six people yesterday!"

Knight Connor replied helplessly, "Because Young Master Su Li... was not in the Zijing Stronghold all day today. He didn't even enter the Knight Camp to recruit."

Count Suna was also helpless, feeling a sense of disappointment: "He clearly has great talent, why doesn't he strive for progress?"

This was also Knight Connor's biggest feeling, and why he had been hesitant to send his second son to join Su Li's team.

Young Master Su Li gave people the impression of not seeking progress, feeling too lazy and lacking the wolfish ambition a lord should have.

It made people wonder if he could really lead a group of people to forge ahead and make achievements? He was afraid that before he even reached the pioneering territory, he would be afraid of hardship and fatigue, and quit.

If he could devote one-tenth of the energy he uses in bed to serious matters, he would already have a team of knights by now!

Count Suna gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what did he do today?"

"According to the information I received, Su Li took his team down the mountain to gamble, then bought a lion, parading it through the streets, scaring several free people. Some town notables and prominent families were elected to complain to the administrative officer."

Count Suna even laughed out of anger: "He really has the habits of a纨绔子弟, eating, drinking, enjoying, gambling, and playing with women. Now he's started with falcons and hounds! He has a hound, which is a lion. Is he going to play with birds next?"

Seeing this, Connor was also deeply impressed: "Lord Count, you can still laugh at this time, you have a good attitude. Tomorrow is the last day of the agreement, are you not worried about Young Master Su Li's progress?"

Before Count Suna could reply, a young knight rushed into the study, excitedly knocking on the door and loudly reporting without waiting for a response from inside, "Father, Father, there has been significant progress in the matter you arranged for me."

Connor frowned and suddenly turned around to reprimand, "Stern, how many times have I told you to be calm and composed? How can you become talented if you get excited and lose your composure over a small matter?"

Count Suna sat behind the chair with a smile on his face and said, "Connor, your son's character is quite similar to yours. Forget it, I'll educate Stern another day. Little fellow, tell me what important progress you have?"

Count Suna could roughly guess that the task Connor had arranged for him should be to monitor Su Li's progress.

Stern quickly replied, "Reporting to Lord Count, Young Master Su Li has tamed the out-of-control Demigryph! That Demigryph has now become Knight Friedrich's mount."

"What?" Connor excitedly raised his head and asked, "What's going on? Young Master Su Li wasn't in the Zijing Stronghold all day today, how could he suddenly tame the out-of-control Demigryph?"

"Judging by the time, it's only been half an hour since he came back. It can't be that the Demigryph obeyed as soon as he showed up!"

Count Suna was also shocked, and he even suspected that this father and son had colluded to give him this surprise.

He turned his head in surprise and looked at Knight Connor, asking, "Why is the information you provide about Su Li always so drastically different?"

Su Li didn't recruit any knights today, but he obtained a Demigryph! This is something many knights dream of, and he achieved it so easily?!

Connor was really wronged: "I don't know why this is the case, Young Master Su Li seems to always have the ability to turn something rotten into something magical."

"Yesterday he only found two women, and no one expected that these two women would successfully break through and become Apprentice Knights in the afternoon."

"Today he went to buy a lion, and I don't know what happened, but he obtained a Demigryph in the evening."

This matter was already bizarre, and after listening to Knight Connor's repetition, Stern's eyes lit up, and he looked at his father with burning eyes: "Then Father, if I also join Young Master Su Li's team tomorrow morning, will I... successfully break through in the afternoon too?"

He had been stuck at the High-Rank Formal Knight level for a long time, and hadn't found the trick to break through in the past six months.

He was 20 years old this year, and achieving the High-Rank Formal Knight level had already earned him countless praises, and many people took him as a role model.

But a 20-year-old High-Rank Formal Knight could only be praised. But if he was a 20-year-old Elite Knight, it would cause countless people to be shocked and amazed!

The former was just praise from seniors to juniors, but the latter would make people exclaim and respect. This meant that he would have a very high probability of surpassing his fathers and challenging higher realms.

Count Suna also praised, saying, "Young man, you have a lot of ideas and courage."

Hearing Count Suna's attitude, Knight Connor knew that this matter was not something he could object to, so he said to Stern, "You are impatient, so don't think about observing calmly, but should be more decisive and more efficient. Don't wait until tomorrow morning, take your weapons, armor, warhorse, and servants to Young Master Su Li to report tonight."
