The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Soon, a beautiful maid came in with a cup of steaming tea and placed it on the table next to Soran.

"My Lord Baron, please enjoy your tea!" the maid said crisply.

Her voice is like the call of a lark, clear, pleasant, delicate and melodious!

"Thank you!" Soran thanked him out of habit.

But this made the maid feel flattered!

Because she had worked in Seagull Castle for so long, this was the first time that a noble actually thanked her!

For a moment, she stood there in a daze, unable to adapt!

Soran did not notice the change in the maid's expression, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm tea.

He suddenly felt his thirst quenched and felt refreshed!

Sauron could even feel that it could speed up the rotation efficiency of Dou Qi and increase the speed of Dou Qi cultivation!

If he had not been in someone else's reception room, Sauron might have been unable to resist and would have directly performed a set of sword techniques and practiced his fighting spirit!

It's obvious that this tea is high-end!

No, it should be said to be a high-end luxury product!

Compared to it, the sweet tea I usually drink in the mansion is total garbage!

Garbage among garbage!

"Excuse me, what kind of plant is this?" Soran asked in surprise.

"Baron, these are leaves of the cappuccino tree!" the maid replied.

"So that's the case, no wonder..."

Cappuccino Tree, Sauron knows!

Soran had heard his teacher introduce it in the course of the Donbass Knight Academy!

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

Cappuccino is the name of a giant tree that grows in the Chaos Empire in the north-central part of the continent!

And it is a precious intermediate magic plant!

The leaves of the Cappuccino Demonic Plant contain rich energy. After special processing by the White Knight, most of the energy can be preserved!

Moreover, using its leaves to make tea can improve the efficiency of the knight's practice of fighting spirit!

The Chaos Empire has three pillars, two of which are the Cappuccino Magic Tree and the Cappuccino Guardian Knights!

The Cappuccino Demonic Giant Tree is the most precious national treasure of the Chaos Empire, no doubt about it!

Every year, the Chaos Empire makes a fortune by exporting the leaves of the giant cappuccino magic tree!

The Cappuccino Guardian Knights of the Chaos Empire are one of the three most famous knight orders in the entire Knight Continent!

If you want to become a formal member of the Cappuccino Guardian Cavalry, the minimum standard is to reach the entry-level knight professional level!

Therefore, its combat power is so strong that it has few rivals among all the forces in the entire Knight Continent!

The establishment of the Cappuccino Guardian Cavalry Regiment is closely related to this intermediate magic plant giant tree named Cappuccino!

Whether it is in terms of construction funds, maintenance costs, or the fighting spirit training of the Knights!

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

How much the cappuccino leaves are worth, Soran doesn't know!

Because this is a news channel that only the great nobles are qualified to obtain!

As a newly promoted noble, I have no way of knowing anything about it, and I can’t even get in touch with it at all!

But what Soran knew was that it was expensive, very expensive!

Maybe after taking this sip of tea, twenty or thirty gold coins will be gone!

And this cup of steaming hot tea may cost only three or four hundred gold coins!

So he couldn't even imagine what kind of luxury this was!

Sure enough, the circle of top wealthy people is incomprehensible to poor people!

Originally, Soran thought that he had earned enough gold coins from the snowflake sea salt business during this period of time!

But after comparing it, I realized that my vision and perspective were too narrow!

There is still a lot of work to be done in the future!

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

What kind of person is Countess Katis, a hereditary noble who has a long-standing reputation in the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of Midburg?

First of all, in terms of appearance!

She is like a piece of exquisite porcelain, flawless, confident and elegant, exuding charming and mature charm all the time, attracting people's attention.

She is tall, well-proportioned and slender, like a graceful willow. She has the softness of a woman, the domineering power of a queen, and the charm of a mature woman.

Her proud curves were faintly visible under the gorgeous aristocratic casual clothes, full of seductive charm.

The second is the facial features!

As the saying goes: Eyes are the windows to the soul!

Her eyes are a deep and distant light blue!

It is like the bright stars in the sky, emitting intelligent and clever light; it is also like a deep lake in the desert, full of mystery and magnificent colors!

But her eyes revealed firm confidence and calm wisdom.

Her eyebrows are thick and natural, like two exquisite paintbrushes, adding a unique charm to her already beautiful face.

The slightly upturned corners of the eyes reveal a bit of charm and intelligence.

Her lips are rosy and plump, like bright cherries, making people feel both friendly and mysterious!

Her smile is always so warm and gentle, as if it can melt people's hearts and give them peace and clarity!

Then on to the hair!

Her long hair was flowing like a waterfall, so fine and smooth; like black silk, so soft and smooth!

Her naturally long, straight black hair gently draped over her shoulders gives her a unique flavor and mature charm.

Every strand of her hair is full of feminine softness and charm, and her hair color gives her a mysterious charm.

Whenever she gently shakes her hair, the graceful movement is like that of a graceful dancer, exuding charming charm in silence.

Then on to the skin!

Her skin was as white as jade and as crystal clear as snow, as if it could be broken by a touch.

But it is white with a hint of pink, a healthy rosy glow that reminds people of peach blossoms in the morning light.

Her skin is as white as porcelain, smooth and lustrous, as if it were a natural beauty that was carefully carved, without any flaws, and can even reflect the light of the moon!

Every inch of her skin gives her extraordinary beauty while also exuding the charm of a mature woman.

The next thing is the clothes!

Her clothes are elegant, appropriate, fashionable and unique, neither lacking in dignity and generosity nor lacking in sexy personality.

Her clothing style is full of elegance and confidence, and she has her own unique style and taste.

The well-tailored clothes just highlight her tall figure and mature demeanor.

Finally, it’s about temperament!

She appeared in front of people, and her every move, every word and every action was calm and at ease.

She exudes a unique temperament!

It is a temperament that combines multiple charms such as intellect, maturity and self-confidence. It is elegant and sexy, smart and gentle.

This unique temperament enables her to attract people's attention with her unique charm no matter what the occasion, making people unable to look away.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is her warm and gentle smile, which makes people feel extremely safe and comfortable.

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

When the elegant, intellectual, dignified and mature Countess Katis appeared in front of Soran, his heart fell instantly!

He felt that he was in love...

If……

Towards Miss Vivian, Soran had more of a fondness for her, but as time went by, the novelty wore off!

For the beautiful waitress Stussy, it was an impulse of primitive desire, with only the carnal needs of possession and intercourse, without any emotion!

So he fell in love with the Countess at first sight and was deeply devoted to her!

To put it simply, it means being lustful at first sight!

But it is not that kind of casual impulse, but a long-lasting love like "love rises with the wind, and the feeling is hard to calm down even when the wind stops"!

It was as if just a glance was enough to confirm that I had met the right person in my life!

Soran just stared at her with fiery eyes, completely focused and not blinking!

"Hello! Baron Sauron, welcome to Seagull Castle!" Countess Katis smiled and greeted Sauron calmly.

Her voice is deep and magnetic, like fine red wine, which makes people intoxicated.

Although she also felt Soran's eager eyes that seemed to melt her, she did not feel embarrassed at all!

After all, this is not the first time this situation has occurred!

Hearing this, Soran suddenly woke up from his intoxication!

But after realizing his own gaffe, he became a little embarrassed!

So he quickly performed the etiquette of a noble meeting to cover up his gaffe!

Then he said respectfully: "Hello, Lord Earl! It is my honor to be your guest at Seagull Castle!"

"Baron Soren, please take a seat first!" Countess Katis gestured to a chair, slightly parted her red lips and spoke softly.

Soran sat down obediently, but he did not dare to look into the countess's eyes!

He was afraid that he would fall into it again!

"I heard that Baron Soran had made outstanding contributions in the Western War and was praised by Marquis Saladin and His Royal Highness Prince Leo II!"

"I wonder if you can satisfy my curiosity today and explain the process to me!" Countess Katis took the lead in opening the topic and guiding the conversation.

At this time, Soran would definitely not refuse. He even wished for more opportunities to show off his "great achievements" in front of Countess Katis!

So he once again recounted his "glorious" deeds in a very moving way!

Of course, this version is also different compared to the content of the previous versions!

In this version of the western adventure story, he highlighted the personal heroism even more!

As for who this personal hero is, you all know it without me having to explain it further!

Over there, the elegant Countess of Katis also provided full emotional empathy, with voices of exclamation, surprise, and astonishment constantly ringing out!

Sauron sounded so happy and satisfied!

I really want to hold her in my arms and talk to her for three days and three nights!

However, Soran did not change the most important command principle of Prince Leo II!

Just took a bite and that's all!

……

Soon, the story of Soran's adventure in the West was over!

So he made a final conclusion under the Countess of Curtis's unsatisfied gaze:

"My Lord Earl, I have now broken through to the professional level of a brave knight! If this kind of war happens again in the kingdom, I will definitely lead the charge and establish more merits!"

"Yes! Baron Soran, you are a brave and determined knight. I believe you can achieve even more outstanding achievements!" Countess Katis said with a bright smile and a firm tone.

When Soran heard this, he suddenly felt infinite pride and strength in his heart!

This is the power of love!

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

From aristocratic anecdotes in the kingdom to the daily life of the common people, and even foreign rumors, and so on!

They are all the chat contents between Soran and Countess Katis!

The two of them were like good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, talking and speaking freely!

Of course, Soran received sixteen years of socialist education in his previous life.

Therefore, his insights into certain events and the unique conclusions he reached after in-depth and easy-to-understand analysis were highly recognized and supported by Countess Curtis!

And this is actually one of the reasons why Soran can keep chatting with her!

Because Countess Katis is really good at providing emotional empathy and emotional value!

Of course, Countess Katis is interested in these things, which is also one of the important reasons!

Otherwise, if she was only concerned about information about family matters, the conversation would have ended that day!

"Baron Soran, I heard that your territory has recently innovated a very special sea salt purification process, which can purify sand salt into refined salt, is that right?" Countess Katis took a sip of precious tea and said casually.

"Yes, Lord Earl! This innovative purification process was thought up by me! It can greatly remove impurities from sea salt and improve the quality of sea salt!" Soran said almost subconsciously.

"Then can you tell me how this purification process works?" Countess Katis looked at Soran and smiled charmingly!

But Soran had already reacted by now!

Because it concerns his own interests, he did not indulge in the temptation of her "beauty"!

Soran took a sip of tea silently, without looking at her directly or answering her directly.

Instead, he asked: "How did the Earl know this?"

"Haha!" Countess Katis covered her mouth and chuckled, then said: "You have opened a shop in Ganise City! How could I not know?"

“That’s right!” Soran suddenly felt a little embarrassed!

Indeed, this city of Ganise is someone else’s territory!

How could they not know that you are doing things on their territory?

What's more, the news about the snowflake sea salt may have spread throughout the entire Ganise County!

"Why did the Earl suddenly ask this?" Soran continued to inquire.

"Ah! I'm just simply curious! After all, this kind of magical and special craft is really uncommon?" Countess Katis said softly.

Are you really just curious?

Soran doesn't believe it!

Because most of the family wealth of Count Curtis's family was accumulated through the sale of sea salt!

And it’s the lowest grade sand salt!
