Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence
#9 - Small gambling for fun
Thanks to his acquaintance with the Schwarz Knight, Su Li met the Friedrich Knight, whom he had been paying close attention to recently.
This knight was tall and powerfully built, and as his nickname suggested, he indeed had a thick red beard, which made him look very stern and imposing.
However, this stern and dignified knight didn't have much goodwill towards Su Li. He valued honor and justice, and he was very contemptuous of a trainee knight like Su Li who only broke through at the age of eighteen.
"Out of respect for Schwarz, I came out to meet him. I don't know what unfair means you used to obtain two trainee knights. But clearly, this is not the treatment you should have! I hope you know what's good for you and don't say anything inappropriate, or even if you are the Earl's son, I won't spare your face!"
This was a typical knight and soldier, arrogant, overbearing, rude, and unreasonable.
It was impossible to reason with him about etiquette or morality; it was like playing the lute to a cow.
To subdue him, one could only rely on strong and irrefutable facts, crushing him and making him submit!
So Su Li calmly said, "Friedrich Knight, I don't want to waste words with you. According to my agreement with my father, I can choose 30 attendants myself."
Friedrich said impatiently, "Even if you have this power, it has nothing to do with me! I am an elite knight and not in your selection sequence! If you dare to make some rude requests, I will definitely teach you a profound lesson and let you know what respect is! The honor of an elite knight cannot be violated!"
Su Li said with a faint smile, "Of course, I have always known that you, Friedrich Knight, value honor very much and cannot be violated. But unfortunately, I know of something that is tarnishing your knightly honor. I have the right to enter the training camp to recruit 30 attendants, but in the training camp, for some reason, I haven't seen Lord Henry in the evenings for two consecutive days. So..."
"Friedrich Knight, aren't you curious about where Lord Henry is? Will his actions bring shame to you and your family?"
Henry? That good-for-nothing son? Friedrich Knight's thick eyebrows furrowed immediately. He knew very well that when this young master Su Li found him and said these words confidently, he must have known something.
So Friedrich Knight stopped talking nonsense and said directly, "Where is he? Take me to find him!"
Su Li lowered his head and looked at his palm, his expression calm and indifferent. Knight, you don't seem to have seen the facts clearly! Now you are the one asking for my help, and you won't even call me young master! Young master is very disappointed.
So Su Li took out ten gold coins from his purse, walked to the stables where the knights were gathered, and asked the knights and squires who were setting up a gambling game, "I just saw you were very lively. Can you tell me what you are betting on?"
"Uh..." The knights who were sitting stood up one after another. Although they looked down on Su Li's talentless cultivation, he was still the young master of the Zijing Fort after all, and they had to give him enough courtesy when they met him face to face. Earl Suna's prestige, strength, and honor were worthy of the knights' awe.
"Young Master Su Li."
"Greetings to you, Young Master Su Li."
...
But after the ceremonial greetings, they didn't have much respect or politeness for Su Li himself. Someone bluntly said, "We are betting on how many attendants Young Master Su Li can take away from the military camp within three days."
"Oh? Really? Very interesting, I'm also very interested." Su Li smiled faintly, not taking their contempt to heart: "Can you tell me the specifics?"
"Of course. The odds are 100:7 for betting that you won't take away even one. That is, investing 1 gold coin can only win 7 silver coins, enough for a drink, haha, better than nothing. The second highest is betting that you will take away at most one trainee knight, with odds of 100:15. Betting that you can take away more than two trainee knights, the odds are 100:20. The highest is that you can take away an elite knight, with odds of 100:870."
"How about it, Young Master Su Li, do you want to participate? But if you personally participate, you can't choose yourself to lose! Hahaha!"
A burst of laughter immediately came from around: "Hahaha! You iron rooster, just let Young Master Su Li choose. What's wrong with everyone treating Young Master Su Li to a drink?"
"That's right! That's right! Could it be that Young Master Su Li is really shameless enough to choose that he can't take away even one?"
"We Zijing Fort don't have such useless trash."
Su Li calmly dropped 10 gold coins, the gold coins jingling on the table, the shining light making people unable to look away: "I'll bet on the one with the highest odds, remember it!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Su Li in shock, not expecting him to be so generous. Could it be that he has some confidence?
But then everyone laughed excitedly: "Hahaha, good! Good! Good! Then thank Young Master Su Li for treating us to drinks!"
"Young Master Su Li, you are a good person. Even when you are humiliated, you don't forget to bring joy to everyone. I'm a little embarrassed to win against you."
"Hahaha! Young Master Su Li is giving out money to everyone, quickly, is there anyone else who wants to continue betting?"
No one believed that any elite knight would be stupid enough to follow him to the border principality. Those who can become elite knights are all outstanding people, how could they look up to such a waste? Betting their lives and future to accompany such a waste to die.
And Hilde became anxious and quickly grabbed Leif and asked, "Leif, do you have money? Lend me 10 silver coins, and I will pay you back 30 silver coins when I get paid."
Knights are not allowed to gamble their armor and weapons, otherwise she would have couldn't help but bet all her iron swords.
Leif was a little confused. She did have money. As an armed attendant, she had a salary of 20 silver coins per month. With holiday benefits and some allowances, her annual income was close to 3 gold coins, which could meet the expenses and taxes of a civilian family, so she had saved 85 silver coins.
The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥hair!
But she was still not confident enough to take out this money to gamble. She really couldn't believe that Young Master Su Li could take away an elite knight. That was an elite knight! Would an elite knight really follow Young Master Su Li, a trainee knight, to leave Zijing Fort?
And Hilde didn't have such concerns. She took ten silver coins from Leif and decisively bet them all on the item with the highest odds. She unconditionally believed in Su Li! Following all his decisions.
The Friedrich Knight, who was on the side, witnessed all of this and was so angry that his eyebrows were shaking. He knew very well that Su Li was betting on him, Friedrich.
But Su Li didn't say anything, and he couldn't step forward to question him.
He said angrily, "Young Master Su Li, are you threatening me with my honor?"
Su Li calmly put away his purse, turned to look at Friedrich, and said with a smile, "Of course not, I came with good intentions. After all, you, Friedrich Knight, don't want others to know about this matter that would tarnish your honor, right?"
Friedrich's anger was burning, his chest heaving violently. He carefully weighed it for a long time before he had to say, "I admit that your despicable words worked! I am a fair person. If you do restore my honor, I will owe you a favor! If the request you make is not excessive, I will consider helping you solve it."
Su Li clicked his tongue, why does it feel a little weird? What does it mean to make a request that is not excessive? Is it excessive if I want you?
The more Su Li thought about it, the stranger he felt, so he could only stop the thought, waved his hand, and said to Friedrich, "Then Friedrich Knight, come with me."
