The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Hahaha...I'm happy, brother, I'm really happy for you!" Adam laughed unrestrainedly.

“That’s enough, we still have to talk about business!” Soran hurriedly stopped him.

If such lewd laughter were to spread, rumors would probably spread throughout the city of Connacht that afternoon about him and Adam having a gay relationship in a pub box!

Then my reputation will be really ruined!

Um~

Although the interests and hobbies of some nobles may indeed be somewhat different.

But no matter what, it will have an impact, right?

Talking about business, Adam also became serious, but he still shook his head and said: "Brother, no, I still can't go with you!"

"I won't hide it from you. Although I come from a wealthy merchant family, Old Deng never lets me get involved in the family's business."

"Although I have taken business-related courses in college, I have not been involved in business since graduation and have no experience at all."

"Besides, how is my study performance? We live in the same dormitory. Don't tell me you don't know?"

"It's not that I don't want to go with you, but I'm not suitable to sit in this seat. If you force me to sit, you might even lose money!"

"So, forget it!"

"How can I just let it go, brother? I know your talent, and I know what you are like." Soran asked directly, "Besides, it's okay if you don't have experience. You will gain experience after a few more times."

"Besides, the caravan isn't the only position I need your help with!"

"But..." Adam wanted to say something else, but was rudely interrupted by Soran.

"But it's not so much of a mother-in-law," Soran interrupted Adam rudely, "Let me ask you, do you still remember the dream we talked about in the academy before?"

"Remember!" Adam answered affirmatively.

While studying at the Donbass Knight Academy, one night several of them couldn't sleep and started discussing their dreams.

Soran said: I want to become the most powerful knight in the history of the Knight Continent, and make the entire Knight Continent crawl at my feet.

Adam said: I want to be a business tycoon famous throughout the Knight Continent, I want to be the biggest businessman.

The common goal of the two people is: to trample underfoot all those who look down on us, crush them, and make them only look up to us and envy us.

"Just remember it. If you lose the knowledge, you can learn it again. If you don't have the experience, we can practice it again!"

"As long as you have brothers with you, there is nothing to be afraid of! Even if the sky falls, you have brothers to help hold it up, right?" Soran put his arm around Adam's shoulders and encouraged him.

Now Soran knew that he invited Adam not just to find someone he could trust and help him.

More importantly, I hope to help my brothers regain confidence in life.

He can no longer live in this muddleheaded way, otherwise he will eventually disappear into the dust and turn into rotten soil.

Young people all have dreams, which is commendable.

But sadly, many people's youth only lives in dreams, and eventually turns into regrets in life. Death is the greatest regret.

Hmm, maybe even an epitaph!

At this time, it would be great if someone could be kind enough to lend us a hand.

Maybe our life trajectories would be different.

Now, what Soran has to do is to be the one who extends a hand. He just wants to give Adam a hand.

Then he held out his hand to Adam.

Adam Eric was so moved by Soren's passionate words that his eyes were filled with tears.

So he wiped his face vigorously with his hands, stopped acting like a child, and stretched out his hand.

Then, under Soran's disgusted gaze, the two hands were clasped together tightly.

At this moment, the dreams of both people were rekindled.

Although we don’t know how the future will develop, where is history heading?

But at this moment, the hearts of these two young people were hot and boiling!

Thus, the gears of fate began to turn...

Just ...

Soran: ~Ugh~ (-_-||)

……

"Boss, boss, bring us another table of delicious food and a few jugs of good wine," Soran shouted to the outside of the box, "Today, my brother and I will not leave until we are drunk!"

"No, no, brother, we have to patrol tonight and can't get drunk." Adam quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"You're about to resign, why would you bother with so much nonsense? I just want to ask you, can you drink? If not, go sit at the same table with the kids." Sauron teased impudently.

Nothing, just happy!

"Damn, when it comes to drinking, I've never been better than anyone!" Adam was not convinced, and turned around and said something even more ruthless: "I'll make you a bet, brother, today we won't go home until we're drunk. Whoever falls down first will drink at the same table with the dog from now on, how about that?"

"Okay, let's do it. Come on, do it!"

Soran thought: Then I must pour first. Anyway, I will only drink with you guys in the future.

But I am a human being, and I don’t know what you are!

This is like calling someone a stick, but at least I am still a stick!

"Okay, let's do it!"

So the agreement was made!

…………

Knight Continent Gregorian calendar, January 4877, 1, today is the first day of the new year.

On this day, the lord will hold a parade to celebrate the beginning of the new year with his people.

The real lord of Connacht, Count Lopez, has not yet arrived in Connacht.

Therefore, this year the city lord, Sir Jose, will still host the event.

As one of the heirs to Sir Jose's throne, Soren also needs to attend the celebration.

In the afternoon, there was still a routine banquet.

The city lord, Sir Jose, hosted a large thank-you banquet.

The banquet invited all the nobles, wealthy businessmen, celebrities, and class elites in the jurisdiction of Connacht City to thank them for their support, help, and understanding of the city lord's work over the past year.

But this year's celebration and banquet are different.

Because the city lord announced an important news in a high-profile manner during the parade and banquet:

The Lord Mayor's second son, Soren Lipton, was eventually canonized as a hereditary baron by Lord Marquis Saladin because of his bravery and outstanding achievements in participating in the foreign wars in the western part of the kingdom. He was also granted hereditary territory and promoted to a distinguished hereditary noble of the kingdom.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

This sudden major event undoubtedly directly ignited the New Year festive atmosphere in the entire city of Connacht.

Although Sir Jose only mentioned it in a few words today, this great news still spread quickly within the jurisdiction of Connacht City.

Especially among the people, there are more than three versions of the story.

You know, in this society, brave knights established outstanding achievements on the battlefield through their own efforts, and were eventually canonized as hereditary nobles of the kingdom.

This version of the story is always popular among the people.

Of course, the effect might be even better if the plot of being noticed by a princess or a noble lady and finally winning her heart was added.

Although for those great nobles and big businessmen, the enthronement of a hereditary baron might just be a topic of conversation after dinner.

But in a remote place like Conant City, this kind of thing is definitely big news and a big event.

After all, in the entire jurisdiction of Connacht, there are only four nobles who can be conferred the title of hereditary baron.

As for nobles above the rank of baron, there were none at all.

These four noble lords are already the ones that tens of thousands of people in the city of Conant look up to!

In their own territory, they are like local tycoons, controlling the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

Even the lord of Connacht, Sir Jose, had to give them some face.

Different from the celebratory banquet in the Lonely Mountain where he was feeling depressed and frustrated, in this New Year banquet, Sauron was the real protagonist and the most handsome guy in the whole audience.

The voices of flattery and adulation are endless, and the praises of blessings and appreciation are one after another.

The most important thing is, you will also have good luck in love!

So beautiful, Sauron, it's so cool!

However, Soran felt that his career had just started and he didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he withdrew from all the positions without hesitation.

[Sauron: (?? ⊙ song?)?彡┻━┻]

There is no woman in my heart, so I draw my sword to the God of Nature.

She's just a woman. She will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!

Besides, isn’t the most important thing in life to make money?

If you have money, will you still be short of women?

The answer is: no.
