Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

#27 - The greatest support from the family

As all the knights madly surged in, surrounding Su Li, Count's chief knight, Connor, struggled to his feet and rushed into the crowd, grabbing Su Li's arm.

"Everyone, stand back! Young Master Su Li, you must come with me to see the Count. The Champion Knight is too significant to let you just take him away."

Schwartz, who was struggling to stand up with his warhammer, turned red-eyed upon hearing this. The Count wanted to intercept?! This was a Champion Knight, capable of determining the future and safety of a territory.

He roared furiously, "Knight Connor, what do you mean? Have you forgotten honor and agreements?! To go back on your word like this is simply despicable."

"The growth and future of the Thistle family are the most important thing." Connor reprimanded Schwartz before calming down and turning to Su Li, saying, "Young Master Su Li, I hope you can understand."

Perhaps it wasn't fair, but everyone should have this awareness: everything should prioritize the family's interests, making the best choice.

"Perhaps Young Master Su Li, you are feeling indignant now, but I think in the future..."

"Where, where. Hahaha." To Knight Connor's surprise, there wasn't a trace of anger on Su Li's face. Instead, he seemed even more eager than Connor, grabbing his arm and excitedly saying, "Let's go, let's go. We'll go see my father right now."

Soon, from the top floor of Thistle Keep, in the Count's study, came Suna's shocked and exasperated voice: "What?! Say what you just said again!"

Su Li shrank back, feeling enveloped by a tyrant-like pressure. This aura was even more brutal and terrifying than Oerstein's.

He cautiously looked at his father's icy eyes and weakly said, "I'm just discussing it with you, just discussing it. Don't get angry whether you agree or not. I'll return Knight Oerstein to you, and you can grant me the title of Royal Knight, with a fiefdom of any village within the County. I think staying within the County might be more helpful to the family."

Su Li's original intention hadn't changed. If he could comfortably laze around within the County, he naturally didn't want to go to the border Prince's territory as a pioneering lord.

But before he could finish speaking, Count Suna, this always gloomy and composed powerful knight, directly exploded with aura, like a brutal dragon venting its immense rage: "Don't even think about it! As long as I'm the family head, you'll never get any land within the County!"

Knight Connor also helplessly facepalmed. Young Master Su Li! He really was as carefree and unmotivated as ever.

Suna also gritted his teeth. He was certain that his son was very talented, but he just didn't strive for progress, making people want to whip him forward. He even worried that if he forced him to go to the border Prince's territory, he would abandon his attendants, take his beauties and gold coins, and find a city to hide in and enjoy himself.

"Since Knight Oerstein has already submitted to you, you don't need to return him to the family. I will order him to escort you to the border Prince's territory, even if it's by force! Don't even think about escaping."

Seeing Count Suna's resolute expression, Su Li finally slumped: "Alright, then I'll just prepare properly to go to the border Prince's territory." He wasn't so stupid as to abandon his troops and run away. This wasn't the peaceful, law-abiding society of his previous life. In this world, without the protection of powerful strength, he would be the biggest fat sheep in other people's eyes.

Those evil nobles, seeing him use his abilities to earn a lot of wealth, would definitely capture him, torture him severely, and then steal his wealth and seize his women.

If the Thistle Count wasn't willing to protect him, then being a lord himself was a safer choice.

But Knight Connor became anxious, excitedly stepping forward and saying, "Count, that's a Champion Knight. Won't you keep him to serve the family?"

Count Suna glanced at him, his attitude solemn: "Doesn't Knight Oerstein serving by Su Li's side mean serving the family? I believe that him following Su Li is the most beneficial choice for the family's future. I don't want to hear Su Li's words repeated by a fourth person, otherwise..."

Knight Connor immediately lowered his head, took a step back, and solemnly promised, "Count, I didn't hear anything just now."

Count Suna then withdrew his cold gaze and looked at Su Li, but as soon as he saw his son, he felt his teeth itch with anger: "Do you know how much your words just now will affect the morale of your subordinates if they get out?"

"Will they..." Su Li asked doubtfully.

Count Suna was instantly choked. It seemed that, as his rebellious son said, he was now surrounded by knights wanting to join him, and they couldn't be driven away even with whips. Could this rebellious son be a born lord's saintly body? He was practically a succubus in the flesh!

To be able to reach this level as a noble and leader was truly an unparalleled realm.

But this rebellious son completely didn't know how much of an advantage he had! He was wholeheartedly set on being a wastrel and a good-for-nothing.

And seeing his father's aura gradually intensifying again, Su Li didn't dare to offend him any further and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Father, I'll fully prepare for the journey to the border Prince's territory. I have 150 kilograms of Vibranium. Can I exchange it with you for 3 sets of Vibranium Rune Armor?"

"150 kilograms of Vibranium?" Hearing this news, Count Suna's attitude instantly changed, and his sharp eyes scanned Su Li up and down: "You really are shocking me. You actually obtained this precious material right under my nose, without me even knowing."

The Vibranium was brought back to Thistle Keep in pottery jars. Apart from the core knights around Su Li, others naturally had no way to find out about this news.

So, when Count Suna first heard this news, he was naturally deeply shocked for a moment. Knight Connor, who was beside him, was even more horrified and lost his composure, opening his mouth wide and looking at Su Li in disbelief. He had been responsible for investigating Su Li's information but had never known even a bit of this news.

But Count Suna was, after all, a noble, with even more outstanding demeanor and magnanimity. He quickly adjusted his state and replied calmly, "Two sets. I can only give you two sets of Vibranium Rune Armor. Don't rush to bargain. Connor, go to the deepest secret room of the armory and move the box on the second floor over here and give it to Su Li. This will be the family's greatest support for him to develop his territory."

Knight Connor was completely shocked to the point of being unable to breathe! Even his body couldn't help but tremble with excitement because of this.

The things in the deepest room of the armory! That was a treasure coveted by all forces, all races, and all territories!
