The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Soran slowly gathered his mind, controlled the Dou Qi seed to swim back to his lower abdomen and stay there, then slowly withdrew his consciousness from his body.

He opened his eyes, and a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes. Then he let out a long breath, and the hot breath he exhaled collided with the cold air outside, forming a large white mist.

He slowly raised his left hand and quietly activated his special talent - the Arcane Eye. Then he saw a set of numbers:

51/57!

This is no change from before.

But Soran was not discouraged because he knew his own situation.

The reason why he was able to improve so quickly in the past few days was that he had just broken through the knight profession level and improved his physical limits, and also because he often took the magic potion Blood Vine to assist in his practice.

But now he has reached the peak stage of the Knight's professional level, and the blood-parasitic vine potion has been used up.

It is normal that it is not so easy to break through and improve now.

Standing up, Soran stretched his body, and his whole body suddenly made a crackling sound like beans being sieved!

This made him feel extremely comfortable!

After the repair and replenishment of the fighting energy, most of the negative feelings such as muscle soreness, body weakness, and general fatigue caused by the training just now have been eliminated.

Soran now feels that he has regained his vitality and is relaxed, as if he has endless energy!

However, I still feel a little tired mentally.

After all, running the Dou Qi seeds throughout the body also requires consuming some mental power to control and support it.

But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t affect Sauron’s daily life.

On the side, Javier, who had been waiting for a long time, saw this and immediately came up with a towel, handed it to the young master to wipe his sweat, and did not forget to call out to the young master, "Young master, good morning!"

In this backyard square, some people around have already started exercising or practicing fighting skills.

Like Adam, Gubellini, or other members of the Territory Guard!

Seeing this, Soran nodded with satisfaction and secretly memorized the members of the guards.

These are all potential targets worth cultivating!

The early bird catches the worm, diligence can make up for lack of talent... These are common truths known to everyone, but how many people can actually do them?

If you want to move up and get more, how can you not be a little harder on yourself?

If you want to do great things, don't take yourself too seriously, otherwise you will never know where your limits are!

"Master, breakfast is ready! Would you like to eat it now?" Javier asked in a gentle voice after taking the sweat towel used by Soran.

"I'm going to change my clothes before eating. You can serve it first!" Soran was still wearing his daily training clothes, loose trousers and short sleeves.

As for the relatively cold weather in the early morning, his physical condition is there and he is not weak, so he can just bear it.

Moreover, wouldn’t his body be warmed up by doing morning exercises?

"Yes, sir!" Javier took the order, stepped back and started preparing breakfast.

And Soran walked towards his bedroom.

..............................

On the rectangular dining table covered with a white tablecloth, there were many delicious dishes.

At first glance, the first thing that catches your eye is the wheat bread that is three arms long.

This is baked soft, golden in color, soft and crispy!

Soran ate one and found it delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth!

If this bread were placed in the food world of the Knight Continent, it would be considered a rare delicacy!

But unfortunately, this so-called "fine product" would only appear on the dining table of a small noble like Soran who had a shallow family background and insufficient background.

Because the wheat flour used to make this bread is two grades lower in quality than the flour used in the bread eaten by real nobles.

In the noble families, this low-grade bread is for ordinary servants. Even the nobles' pet dogs won't eat it!

But despite this, Soran still ate with gusto, his mouth full of the delicious taste!

Because compared with the hard life of working like a slave in his previous life, the quality of life has been improved by several levels.

People may not be satisfied, but they must also be content.

In addition to bread, there were various other foods on the table, including common meats, fresh vegetables, fruits after meals, minced meat soup... All added up, it was no less than the amount of food for three or four ordinary people.

The Dou Qi energy that was consumed in the morning by using Dou Qi seeds to assist in cultivation can only be replenished from nourishing food, and the people in this world generally have the habit of eating two meals a day.

So the amount of food Soran eats at every meal is basically this much!

As for his trusted knights, it was almost the same!

A noble could not afford to pay for the food of his knights, so the knights left in anger. Or a noble was forced to sell his ancestral property to raise money to live after being eaten out of money by his knights.

In the past, Sauron might have thought that all these anecdotes and gossips were a joke!

But now that I think about it carefully, this could actually happen. It’s really terrifying when you think about it!

Thinking of those trusted knights, Soran suddenly asked, "Javier, why didn't I see Ramos this morning? He was the most active one in getting up early to practice these two days!"

Normally, only at dinner time would Soran summon his trusted knights to dine together.

After all, in the past few days, he had to sleep until the sun was shining on his butt before getting up.

So now he ate breakfast alone, while Javier stood by and served him, ready to serve him at any time.

As the mansion's chief steward, he serves breakfast to the master, which is one of his duties and a manifestation of loyalty. It also helps the master arrange the work that needs to be done for the day.

And Ramos can be said to be the most helpless person for Sauron in these days!

He gets up on time every morning to do his morning exercises, which is not only noisy but also loud, which makes Sauron unable to sleep well!

But since this trusted subordinate had such a high enthusiasm for training, it was difficult for him to discourage him, so he could only endure it silently!

"Master, today is the day for the Territory Guard to recruit new members. In order to make all the preparations for the recruitment, Ramos and Henry took the Territory Guard out early in the morning!" Javier answered Soran in a gentle voice.

The town of Flanders is already crowded with buildings, and there has not been enough time to re-plan the location of the new barracks, so the recruitment activity for the territory guard cannot be carried out in the town, and a venue must be selected outside.

"Is that so? Then I'll go check it out after we finish eating!" Thinking of Ramos's temper, Soran was a little worried, so he prepared to go check it out.

Of course, he also wanted to see if he could find any good talents for cultivation.

After all, he had the special talent of the Arcane Eye, so he would waste it if he didn't use it!

"Then I will notify the territory guards and ask them to send a few guards to follow!" Javier gave his suggestion.

How can the honorable Baron travel without his lackeys... No, it is the guards who follow him all the way to protect him!

That would be beneath the dignity of aristocrats!

"Well, you arrange it!" Sauron agreed.

Then he concentrated on eating!

Oh! It smells so good!
