The Knight's Journey to the Empire

In addition to Butler Mark, the Pillar Knight, there are three higher-ranking knights who are loyal to or directly subordinate to Countess Katis!

These three high-ranking knights work under Countess Katis, and each has a different division of labor!

among them:

A Countess's personal guard responsible for commanding Countess Catis;

A standing army responsible for commanding the entire earldom;

The Knights of the Seagull is in charge of commanding the Earl's strongest force.

Of course, these three high-ranking knights could actually be considered the “legacy” of the previous Earl of Katis.

The high-ranking knight that Soran invited this time was the one who was in charge of commanding the Earl's personal guard.

The high knight was named Colbert Bacharach, held the title of knight, and was a retainer of Countess Catis.

Soran has observed him with his Arcane Eyes, and his value is [103/115]. He is very powerful. Please go back and he will definitely be able to control the situation!

On the way back, although Soran was in a hurry, he was always looking for opportunities to chat with Sir Colbert in order to get closer to him.

And the content of the chat!

Nature is diverse and all-encompassing!

For example, the situation in the kingdom, the training of knights, the management of the army, the secrets of the nobility, and the hobbies and life of the Earl, etc.

After all, one of Soran’s important goals in life now is to be with the Countess and reach the pinnacle of his life!

Sir Colbert, as the head of Countess Curtis's personal guard, knows Countess Curtis very well.

Therefore, Sauron naturally had to seize the opportunity and find out more!

Although Sir Colbert also tried to avoid this topic, he still revealed a lot of information under Soran's indirect questioning!

This made Soran feel like he had found a treasure and benefited a lot from it!

Of course, it is worth mentioning that Sauron is not a bootlicker.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to fight for his own interests!

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

On October 4877, 10 in the Knight Continent calendar, five days later, Soran returned to the White Bear Territory with Ramos and Sir Colbert, who was invited with a "large sum of money".

After Javier learned that Zahavier and the other two had behaved well and had not caused any trouble, he finally put his mind at ease!

He was really afraid that these three people would steal his house when he was away!

Even though he was there, it was actually useless. If someone wanted to force their way in, he couldn't stop them!

But now that everything is fine, Soran plans to take a night's rest first!

After all, it won’t be too late to tell them tomorrow that I refuse to cooperate with His Royal Highness Prince Leo II!

Because of the long and difficult journey these days, even though Soran has the physique of a brave knight, he is exhausted!

Anyway, there are still two days left until the agreed time, so there is no rush!

Moreover, he has already invited back the people who can support him. Is he still afraid that they will cause trouble?

……

Time quickly came to the next morning. As soon as Soran finished his breakfast, he told Javier to call Zahavier and the other two to the reception room!

These three people were quite relaxed and lazy. It was already time for the sun to shine on their butts, but they hadn't even gotten up yet.

When Javier went to call them, they were still sleeping in!

This really is treating this trip as a business trip!

And it’s publicly funded!

"Baron Soran, did you call us here because the information on that special technology has been sorted out?" Zahavier rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked with a puzzled look.

"No!" Soran answered directly in the negative, his tone sounding very calm.

Since he was ready to break off relations with them anyway, Sauron didn't want to pretend anymore!

"What's that because?" Zahavier frowned, his tone gloomy and unfriendly.

They drank a lot of wine last night, so they finally got to sleep in today!

Who would have thought that I was woken up halfway through my sleep while I was sleeping so soundly?

No matter who this happens to, I guess no one would be in a good mood!

However, Zahavier did not notice the change in Soran's expression and tone.

Because in the past few days, Javier has provided them with delicious food, good meat, good rice and good wine, so they can eat, drink and have fun to their heart's content, which has made them feel lazy!

At the same time, Javier's behavior also made them believe that Sauron would not dare to act recklessly!

In the end, Baron Sauron had no choice but to hand over the special process of refining and purifying sea salt to them.

"Lord Zahavier, let me ask you again, what conditions did His Royal Highness Prince Leo II give me in exchange for the sea salt refining and purification process in my hand?" Soran asked.

He must ask again and make it clear!

Since Sir Colbert was sitting nearby and watching, Soran needed him to be a witness.

When it comes to this, Zahavier suddenly wakes up!

He was no longer bleary-eyed and sleepy!

Zahavier returned to his calm demeanor: "10 gold coins! What, Baron Soran doesn't believe me?"

"Yes! I don't believe you. I really don't believe you!" Sauron sneered directly, leaving no room for negotiation!

"Oh! Baron Sauron, what do you mean? Do you want to go back on your word?" Zahavier said with the same sneer.

He narrowed his eyes, and the look in his eyes was like two rays of cold light, piercing straight at Sauron.

“Hahahaha…hahahaha…” Soran ignored him and laughed loudly, saying, “Zahavier, do you know why I said you were not smart a few days ago?”

"Why?" Zahavier asked subconsciously.

"Because you are too self-righteous! You don't even know His Royal Highness the Second Prince, yet you dare to swallow up His Royal Highness's money!" Soran said with disdain: "I don't even need to think about it, I know that you must have embezzled the money that His Royal Highness the Second Prince gave me!"

"Only 10 gold coins! How is that possible? His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not such a stingy noble!"

Over there, Connino and Adrick turned pale instantly after hearing that!

Obviously, Soran's words touched their hearts!

How could they not feel anxious because they were guilty?

Especially for Connino, it was the first time for him to do such a thing, so he was under greater psychological pressure!

On the other hand, although Zahavi was also sweating profusely due to panic, he still pretended to be calm.

But his face had turned gloomy: "So, Lord Baron, you really want to go back on your word! Do you know the consequences of going back on your word?"

"That's right. Since you are already here, the worst that can happen is that we can just take that technology away from us! What can you do to me?" Adric shouted in a cowardly manner.

Obviously, he was really scared!

Because, if His Royal Highness the Second Prince knew about this, he might lose his head!
