The Knight's Journey to the Empire

December 4877, 12 in the Knight Continent calendar.

At this moment, the White Bear Territory has become a world of ice and snow covered in snow.

Here, the sky and the earth are all white, and time seems to have stopped at this moment.

Because in the first five days, the entire White Bear Territory... no, the entire Ganise County was covered with heavy snow.

Those white snowflakes were flying in the sky like goose feathers, and falling down one after another, they even covered the entire sky and the earth.

This is the first heavy snowfall in Ganise County since the beginning of winter this year!

The heavy snow caused a thick layer of snow to pile up on the ground in White Bear Territory, which was more than ten centimeters deep.

As for how much the temperature outside had dropped, Sauron had no idea!

But he only knew that with his current physical fitness at the professional level of a brave knight, he still felt a little cold!

So every day he stayed in the hall with the burning fireplace and didn't want to go anywhere!

Also, there has been news coming from the Territory Government Office in the past two days that two households failed to clear the snow from their roofs in time, causing their houses to collapse due to the heavy load!

Fortunately, these houses were all made of wood and the neighbors came to the rescue in time, so no casualties were caused!

After hearing this news, Soran immediately ordered the territory guards and the White Bear Knights to increase patrols and closely screen for any potential safety risks while ensuring their own safety.

But today, the 18th, the weather suddenly improved!

The heavy snow that lasted for five days finally stopped!

Today the sky is clear, the sun is shining brightly and the air is warm.

But the temperature is still much lower, and the cold wind is still biting!

……

It was still noon that day, and in the warm hall of the Baron's mansion, Soran was lying on the leather sofa!

Then, he gradually felt sleepy and prepared to take a comfortable nap.

But just when he was about to fall asleep, the door of the hall was opened again!

A cold wind blew over, and Sauron suddenly lost all his sleepiness!

“Who is it? Can you please not come in at this time?” Sauron was very angry and the consequences would be serious.

But the person who came in was the butler of the Baron's mansion, Javier: "Master, it's me!"

"Oh! It's Javier! What's the matter?" Soran calmed down all his anger in an instant.

Because Sauron still respects this personal servant who grew up with him and is like a brother and a father to him!

At least he wouldn't blame him for such a small matter!

"Master, there are five guests outside. They say they are people from His Royal Highness Prince Leo II, and they want to discuss cooperation with you!" Javier explained.

Finally, he added: "By the way, their attitude is much better than Zahavier and his people! And I saw Connino among them!"

Upon hearing this, Sauron immediately smiled happily!

So he quickly ordered: "Please come in, please come in!"

"Yes, sir!" Javier stepped back.

"Hurry, Thomas, Maria, the distinguished guests are coming, prepare the tea! Remember, the last tea leaf!" Soran ordered.

Thomas and Maria also responded and left.

After waiting in White Bear Territory for so long, they still didn't show up. Soran thought they would have to wait until after the New Year!

Some people even gave up on this cooperation project directly!

But now that they are here today, Soran can put his worries aside!

It’s good that you are here. Once you come, we can talk about cooperation, and once we talk about cooperation, we can get money!

……

Soon, Javier led five men in mysterious clothes into the hall of the Baron's mansion!

Why are they mysterious?

Because among this group of people, except for the one standing in the middle and leading the group, the only one wearing was a thicker outer robe!

The other four people were all wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, wrapping themselves tightly from head to toe, making it airtight!

Not only that, the four of them also wore hats and masks on their heads, their ears were protected by earmuffs, and they had scarves around their necks!

In addition, they also wore thick gloves on their hands, long cotton coats on their bodies, bulky cotton trousers on their lower bodies, and thick cotton boots on their feet...

This is really well prepared and airtight!

As soon as these people stepped into the hall, they began to take off their heavy clothes impatiently!

It turns out that because there is a roaring fireplace in the hall, the temperature in the room is as warm as spring!

Compared to the severe cold outside, the temperature is at least thirty degrees higher!

After the four men had undressed, Soran saw that one of them was Connino!

"Hello, Baron Sauron!" After taking off his heavy clothes, Connino walked over first and greeted Sauron loudly.

"Hello, Lord Connino!" Soran also greeted him enthusiastically.

People who don’t know the truth might think they are good friends who haven’t seen each other for many years!

Then, Connino began to introduce other people to Soran: "Baron Soran, this is Sir Belgrade Lycid!"

"Sir Belgrade Lucid is a vassal who is deeply trusted by His Royal Highness Prince Leo II! This time we are here to discuss the cooperation with Baron Soren on the floral soap, and he will be in charge!"

"Hello, Sir Belgrade Lycid! Nice to meet you!" Soran stretched out his hand and greeted Sir Belgrade warmly.

Sir Belgrade did not show any dissatisfaction or arrogance!

He immediately held Soran's outstretched hand tightly and said with the same enthusiasm: "Baron Soran Lipton, the hero who saved the kingdom in the Western War, I have heard of your reputation a long time ago! I am also very happy to meet you!"

Suddenly, Soran laughed a little embarrassedly: "Hahahaha! Lord Belgrade really flattered me. It's just a false reputation! Not worth mentioning! Not worth mentioning!"

Upon hearing this, Sir Belgrade disagreed. He retorted: "How can this be a false reputation? This is a real achievement! His Royal Highness the Second Prince often talks about you in front of us!"

"Your words of ambition, 'Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country', are still fresh in the memory of His Royal Highness the Second Prince! He still often uses these words to encourage us!"

"Really? Did His Royal Highness the Second Prince really say that?" Soran's face was full of surprise, his eyes widened!

Of course, this is definitely an act!

What do you often mention about me!

How can this be?

If I didn't have a process for refining and purifying sea salt that could make a lot of money, he would have forgotten about me long ago!
