The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Knight Continent Calendar May 4878, 2.

Wolf personally led the team to the Xueminghua cultivation base and invited Soren to return to Flanders Town.

So Baron Soren took Doug Johnson back to the Baron's mansion in Flanders Town.

And as soon as he came back, he immediately met with Knight Alkovich!

"Hello, Knight Alexovich, I am Baron Soren Lipton!" Soren introduced himself to Knight Alexovich with a smile.

At the same time, he had quietly used the special ability of the Arcane Eye to observe Knight Alkovich!

[105/117]

This is the specific data that Soran observed on Knight Alexovitch!

This is a strong man who is in the middle stage of the upper knight profession level.

"Hello! Baron Soran! My name is Yalikovich! I will be your bodyguard this time and I will be responsible for your safety in the future!" Knight Yalikovich also responded to Soran very enthusiastically without posing as a superior.

"Knight Alkovich, thank you so much for accepting my employment! You may not know that you saved my life!" Soran responded with emotion.

Soran could already guess that the assassin who tried to kill him was definitely a formal knight with the professional rank of a superior knight. This was definitely not someone he could handle!

"You're welcome! Baron Sauron, you paid for it, too! Taking money to do things and helping others get rid of disasters, this is the basic rule of business!" Knight Alkovich said with a smile.

"Knight Alkovich, I heard that you were introduced by Captain Grace, is that right?" Soran asked again.

"Yes! Captain Grace and I have been friends for many years! If I didn't dislike traveling around, I would already be the deputy captain of the Blazing Mercenaries!" Knight Yalikovich explained to make himself more convincing.

"Yes! Captain Grace is indeed a very good friend! In fact, to be honest, my acquaintance with Captain Grace was a matter of fate..." Then Soran slowly told the story of his encounter with Captain Grace.

Then the two of them started a lively and pleasant conversation!

Gradually, their topics became broad and in-depth. From the philosophy of life to adventure experiences, from knight training to how to behave in society, and so on, they talked about everything!

The two of them were like two old friends who had met again after a long separation, talking freely and sharing each other's inner stories and insights.

So, after some friendly conversation and careful consideration, the two signed a formal two-year employment contract and established a solid employment relationship.

So from this moment on, Knight Alkovich officially became Soran's personal bodyguard.

He will also be responsible for Sauron's daily safety protection!

"Baron Soran, the employment contract has been signed! Can you tell us about the assassin?" Knight Alkovich asked.

Although he prefers a leisurely and comfortable life, his sense of responsibility is actually quite good.

As the saying goes: Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!

Therefore, after officially signing the cooperation contract, Knight Alkovich quickly inquired about the assassin's situation so that he could take precautions early.

Soran frowned and said, "Knight Yalikovich, I don't know the assassin's situation either!"

"I only know that someone wrote me a letter saying that someone wanted to assassinate me! That's why I came to you to be my bodyguard and protect me!"

Javier has already told Adam that someone has delivered a letter!

"Then do you know who wrote the letter to you? Or who wants to send an assassin to kill you? You can guess!" Knight Alkovich continued to ask.

He actually wanted to find out some information from these two people so as to guess the strength of the assassin!

but……

"I'm sorry, Knight Yalikovich, I don't know any of this!" Soran shook his head helplessly, and then continued:

"But what I know is that since the other party is sending an assassin to kill me, then the strength of this assassin must be at the level of a high-ranking knight!"

"Moreover, this assassin may have already arrived in White Bear Territory and is lying dormant!"

Sauron really didn't know who wrote the letter to inform him, but he could definitely guess who sent the assassin to kill him!

And the person who wrote the letter also said who it was on the letter paper!

But if there is no solid evidence, these things should not be said!

Otherwise, for a charge of slander, they wouldn't have to send any assassins, they could just send the army directly!

Where can Sauron hide then?

Seeing this, Knight Alkovich didn't plan to ask any more questions!

So he said comfortingly: "Don't worry! Baron Soran, I will be your personal bodyguard from now on! I will be responsible for your safety!"

"If those assassins want to kill you, let them step over my dead body first!"

"Okay! Thank you, Knight Alexovitch!" Soran thanked him warmly and solemnly.

"Well! I will pay more attention to your side in the future and try not to give the assassins any chances! At the same time, Baron Sauron must do his best to cooperate with me! Don't be naughty, okay?" Knight Yalikovich asked at last.

"Well, sure! Cooperate with each other! Cooperate with each other!" Soran said with a smile.

The two then started talking about other issues.

But after a while, Soran suddenly asked again: "Knight Yalikovich, did you help my brothers solve many of the knight training problems yesterday?"

"Yes! It's just a piece of cake!" Knight Alkovich said indifferently.

“Haha, but no matter what, I still want to thank you for your selfless help!” Soran said sincerely.

But he changed the subject and continued, "Knight Yalikovich, can I ask you for one more favor?"

"You speak first!"

Soran explained: "Knight Yalikovich, I'll tell you the truth!"

"Although I have studied the knowledge of knight training in the Knight Academy before, I still lack experience in knight training!"

"So, I hope that you can serve as the White Bear Territory Knights' training consultant in the future, and answer all kinds of training questions for the official knights of the territory!"

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing! How about I pay you a high-level magic potion every three months?"

"Of course!" Knight Alekevich agreed readily.

It’s just to answer some difficult questions in cultivation. If you know, you know. If you don’t know, you don’t know!

It's all just a matter of talking, and you can also get real benefits!

So, why not do it?

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Knight Alexikovich!" Sauron suddenly felt a little happy as his thoughts came true!

"It's not hard! It's not hard!"

Knight Aleksandr hastened to say that it really wasn't hard.

Make money easily!

How can this be hard?

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

White Bear Territory, in the study of Baron Soran’s mansion!

At this moment, Soran was sitting at the desk, concentrating on writing, working diligently and writing quickly.

That's right, he is busy with official duties again!

Every time Soran left the territory for a while, there would always be a mountain of official documents on his desk, waiting for him to come back and deal with them!

This has become the norm for Sauron!

And every time at this time, he would especially envy those protagonists who could be hands-off bosses and wander around everywhere!

Not only is he rich, powerful, and capable, he also has a virtuous wife!

You guys are so cool!

However, these official documents are not actually urgent matters. Most of them are just documents that require his approval or signature!

What if Sauron is not in the territory, but the territory encounters an emergency!

Wolfe and his colleagues would follow Sauron's prior instructions and usually would organize a group meeting for in-depth discussion before taking action to resolve the issue!

Of course, the minutes of the meeting were an essential part, and after Sauron returned, they had to be carefully reviewed and signed for confirmation before they could be archived.

There is definitely no fireplace in the study, so although the temperature inside the room is slightly higher than outside, it is actually not that much higher!

So Soran came up with an ingenious idea and made a charcoal basin and placed it under the desk.

In this way, as time goes by, the heat slowly emitted by the charcoal in the charcoal basin can gradually warm up a small area around it.

But this would make it difficult for Thomas and Maria who were standing by to serve.

Although they were wearing thick warm clothes, their cheeks were still red from the cold!

So in order to keep themselves warmer, they could only get as close to Sauron as possible!

In the end, they even stood like door gods, one on the left and one on the right, close to the chair where Sauron was sitting.

There is another person in the study, that is Knight Alekevich!

He was wearing a thin, pale white robe, with an upright posture, looking ethereal, independent and otherworldly!

Knight Yalikovich is now Soran's personal bodyguard, shouldering the responsibility of protecting Soran's safety.

So now he follows Sauron closely every day, always keeping a high level of vigilance.

Originally, next to Soran's room, there was a small room specially prepared for personal guards.

Initially, when Soran first arrived in White Bear Territory, this room was occupied by Ramos;

Later, Doug Johnson also stayed here for a short time;

And now, it has become the residence of Knight Aleksandr!

Fortunately, Knight Alkovich doesn't have any special obsession with cleanliness!

Otherwise, it would be difficult to change roommates so frequently!

At this time, Knight Alexovich was on the other side of the study, observing Soran's various alternative collections.

Speaking of Soran's current collection, it is truly "diverse and dazzling"!

For example:

The first magical beast he hunted in the Barinas Mountains - the sharp fangs and whip of the rock warthog!

[Note: This Soran is really just a collection, I'm not kidding! ]

After the Western War, he was awarded a precious medal symbolizing supreme honor at the medal ceremony;

The entire wolf head of the powerful and ferocious demon wolf king, as well as its sharp claws and wolf whip;

The amazing whip of the three-headed Togmino monster boar!

In addition, there are some rare and unique books, ancient and precious antiques, exquisite oil paintings, etc.!

[Note: Most of them were obtained by Sauron during house raids! ]

After seeing these "unique" collections, Knight Alexovich couldn't help but praise Soran's unique taste.

However, Soran, who didn't understand why, could only humbly respond: "It's just a personal hobby."

When Knight Alkovich heard this, his brows slightly frowned!

So from then on, there was an indescribable depth in his eyes when he looked at Soran!

……

There was still a light snow falling outside the study at this time, as if it was the last bit of winter!

A tall figure rushed in from outside in the snow, which immediately aroused Knight Alkovich's vigilance!

And Sauron immediately activated the ability of the Arcane Eye to observe it: [53/55]

Ever since he knew that an assassin was trying to kill him, Soran's alertness has become very high!

No matter who appears in front of him, he will immediately open his Arcane Eyes to observe!

And if he found something wrong, he would immediately jump behind Yalikovich for protection.

After all, assassins have many methods, such as makeup, disguise, human skin masks, etc., which are simply hard to guard against!

Now, even when it comes to meals, Soran only eats what Javier cooks himself!

So in order to avoid a setback, Sauron had to be fully prepared!

Moreover, I have the cheating tool of Arcane Eye, so why not use it?

Soon, they let down their guard!

Because the person who came was Wolf, he came to the study in the snow, ready to report the situation to Soran!

"Lord Baron! I have something important to report to you!"

After Soran nodded in agreement, Wolfe told him about Viscount Molson's report of the white bear to the Noble Garden of Ganise County.

"Is there any news from the Noble Garden of Ganise County now?" Soran asked with a frown.

"Although the Noble Court of Ganise County has accepted the case, no news has been released yet!"

"However, I think the Noble Court will most likely support Viscount Molson!"

"After all, there are indeed quite a lot of nobles who seconded his motion this time!"

"So we have to prepare early!" Wolfe said in a worried tone.

"It's all right, Wolfe, they can't make any waves!"

"I'll write two letters later! You arrange for someone to deliver them to the address I gave you!" Sauron said confidently.

Then Soran wrote two letters and gave them to Woolf!

Woolf took it and looked at it, and found these two letters:

One was addressed to His Royal Highness the Prince of Sindelair, the capital of the kingdom;

One letter was sent to Lord Count Katis in the city of Ganise.
