The Knight's Journey to the Empire

However, just as everyone was about to leave and return to their respective jobs, a figure walked in from outside!

This man is none other than the Baron’s mansion’s chief steward—Javier!

"Oh! You are all here! I came here to find Adam!" Javier said with a smile.

It turned out that the grassroots staff of the Government Affairs Office who received Wolfe's order, when they were responsible for delivering the notice of the emergency meeting, only thought that they were to notify important external officials in the territory!

Therefore, they did not notify Javier, an important internal official in the territory!

[Note: For the distinction between internal and external officials, please refer to Chapter 84.]

The reason why Javier suddenly came here now was because he received news that Adam had hired a powerful upper-level knight.

That's why he came here specially to check the situation!

But I didn't expect that I would just catch up with this emergency meeting!

When everyone present saw Javier walk into the meeting room, they all chose to remain silent!

Because they all knew very well in their hearts: If you were to ask who in the entire White Bear Territory has the closest relationship with the Baron?

Then there is no doubt that it must be Javier, the butler of the Baron's mansion!

After all, Butler Javier used to be Baron Sauron’s personal servant. It can be said that he had taken care of Baron Sauron since he was a child!

The relationship between the two can be said to be that of brother and father!

In addition, Javier is the oldest among them and is about to turn 30!

Not only that, Javier also treats them like a brother and often gives them help and care!

Therefore, in order not to make Javier worry, everyone tacitly chose to remain silent about the matter and planned to conceal it for the time being!

However, despite this, they could not conceal the anxiety and frowns on their faces!

When Javier saw this, he thought he had disturbed them!

So he asked in confusion: "I just heard the guard on duty at the door say that you are holding an emergency meeting! What! I shouldn't have disturbed you, right?"

"No, no! How could that be?" Adam forced a smile and quickly explained, "Brother Javier, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"That's good!" Javier smiled and responded kindly: "I heard from Thomas that you hired a powerful upper-level knight, so I came here to take a look!"

Adam reacted immediately after hearing what was said, and then he slapped his head hard!

How could I have forgotten this gentleman?

Because of the rush to deal with Soran's sudden disappearance, Sir Knight Yalikovich is still waiting in the reception room of the Government Office!

At this moment, Lord Knight Yalikovich must be getting impatient!

You know, with this adult's powerful strength, he is not someone we can neglect!

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Adam quickly said, "Yes, the Knight is waiting in the reception room now!"

"Brother Javier, I'll take you to see him now!"

Before he finished speaking, Adam couldn't wait to stride forward and act as a leader.

When the others saw this, they all understood what he meant and followed him tacitly.

Because they also want to see the demeanor of this great knight!

However, before leaving, Wolfe had already instructed Ramos to take a team of knights from the White Bear Knights to Seagull Castle to find out the news about Baron Troon!

After all, this is the most important thing!

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

White Bear Territory, in the reception room of the territory government office!

Knight Yalikovich, who was of the upper knight professional level, was now leaning back in a soft leather armchair, leisurely sipping high-quality tea!

And there was a staff member from the government office next to him, serving diligently and responsibly!

Knight Alkovich gently shook the teacup in his right hand, and the fine tea in the cup rippled slightly as he shook it!

At the same time, wisps of light fragrance emanated from the teacup, permeating the air in the reception room!

His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was taking a short break, or as if he was concentrating on the contents of the cup, with a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth!

Now Knight Alkovich not only did not show any impatience, but seemed particularly relaxed and contented!

This bodyguard job was introduced to him personally by his good friend, Captain Grace!

And the monthly salary of 8000 gold coins is indeed quite considerable for him!

Just think about it, 8000 gold coins a month, 12 months a year, that’s close to 10!

This amount is equivalent to the annual income of some larger viscounties!

Moreover, this salary standard can definitely be considered upper-middle level even for the upper-level knights!

However, the main reason why Knight Aleksandr accepted this job was not the amount of salary, but the nature of this bodyguard job.

Because as a bodyguard, he only needs to take the responsibility of protecting the safety of a baron.

This relatively single work task is in line with his personality - he prefers quietness to activity.

Knight Alkovich never liked running around, nor was he keen on killing and fighting.

Otherwise, with his strength and friendship with Captain Grace, he would have accepted Captain Grace's invitation long ago and become the deputy leader of the Blazing Mercenary Group!

And now this job really perfectly meets his inner expectations.

Therefore, while he was feeling fortunate to have gotten such a satisfying job, he was also secretly grateful to his good friend, Captain Grace, for her enthusiastic recommendation!
