Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 13 Obtaining the Family Treasure
Seeing Count Suna's shocked reaction, Connor was certain that such a change was obviously beyond the Count's expectations and was definitely not something the Count had arranged in secret.

So he explained in more detail: "As the intelligence said, at noon, Young Master Su Li had only two useless women besides the guardian knights you arranged. But in the afternoon, these two women awakened their bloodlines at the same time. Perhaps the breakthrough of two ordinary apprentice knights is not worth mentioning to you, Lord Earl, but these two apprentice knights are different. I think you also need to pay attention to them."

"As far as I know, one of the women, named Xilude, is experiencing training for the first time. That is... the woman who is relaxing with Master Su Li."

"First time training?" Count Suna was even more shocked. "And she can awaken her bloodline in just a few hours? With her talent, she'd be top of the class even at the Griffin Military Academy in the Mordheim Empire!"

Mordheim City is the capital of the Empire's southernmost province. The dean of the Mordheim Griffin Military Academy is also one of the Empire's twelve electors. This is the Empire's most prestigious institution of higher learning for knights, and all Imperial knights are proud to attend the Mordheim Griffin Military Academy. Knights who graduate from this military academy are hired by the major dukes and earls for lucrative positions as Knight Commanders or military instructors.

Among the many family members in Bauhinia Castle, no one has ever been admitted to this academy based on his or her real talent or knowledge.

Hearing the Earl's comments, Connor was even more shocked and asked, "My Lord, isn't this a bit exaggerated? Although her bloodline awakened quickly, she is not young to awaken to become a transcendent at this age."

"No, no." Count Suna shook his head and looked out the window. "If she truly has never had any training before and has mastered the breathing technique in just two hours, then her future is limitless. Her ultimate limit depends on only one factor."

"What is it?" Connor asked curiously.

"It's an opportunity." Earl Suna said seriously, "If she has enough opportunities, she will definitely be able to reach the level of the God-Chosen Knight. Even if someone helps her, becoming a Legendary Knight might not be impossible."

"Legendary Knight?" Connor's eyes widened and he took a deep breath. This was the most advanced fighting force the human empire could access.

Every legendary knight has left an immortal chapter in the history of the empire, and their deeds have been sung by all the bards in every town and every tavern in the empire.

If the elite knight is the flame of a firefly, then the legendary knight is the bright moon in the night sky!

Connor couldn't even imagine that his ordinary life would be related to a legendary knight.

As for the Holy Knights above the Legendary Knights, they are almost mythical. It is said that the lifespan of each Holy Knight is thousands of years.

Logically speaking, with such a long lifespan, there should be a large number of Sanctuary Knights within the empire. However, the last time the Sanctuary Knights' battle record was circulated was the bloody battle of the Weiss River seven years ago.

At that time, the Beast King of the Beastmen launched a massive invasion of the empire. The Beastmen's army burned, killed, and looted along the way, turning thousands of miles of territory into a ghost town.

The coalition forces composed of three human dukes fought a bloody battle with the beastmen on the banks of the Venus River, but the human coalition forces encountered huge difficulties as soon as the battle started. A large number of beastmen, with the minotaurs ambushed in advance as the vanguard, attacked the rear of the coalition forces. The hastily gathered serf troops were frightened and fled in all directions before the knights could return to support them.

Without the support of the auxiliary legion, the knights were surrounded on all sides and could only attempt an orderly retreat. However, the beastmen, who had the upper hand, surged forward like a tide, giving the human knights no chance to regroup.

At this critical moment, the human Sanctuary Knight Tristan arrived with a team of imperial heroes and reinforcements, and suddenly launched a counterattack. Their sharp blades crushed a large number of ferocious beastmen, and they were invincible. They directly killed the Beast King who commanded the army, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed.

It can be said that every Sanctuary Knight has the individual power to determine the direction of a war.

Therefore, the Legendary Knight is basically the ultimate that ordinary humans can achieve.

Connor was so shocked that he stuttered and asked, "Then...then...I...I mean, we, Master Su Li...might have slept with a future legendary knight?"

Count Suna shook his head slightly and said, "All this is just a possibility. But it's clear that Su Li has the potential to create miracles. He really gave me a huge surprise. Moreover, an elite knight and two official knights actually swore allegiance to him. Connor, if it were you, would you follow an apprentice knight?"

If this question had been asked before, Connor would have never thought twice about it. Asking the question itself was an insult to him.

But now, Connor had to think seriously.

Connor's attitude clearly further strengthened Count Suna's resolve. He pondered for a moment, then looked up at Connor and said, "Go to the lowest room in the armory, room three, or perhaps room two, and give the box on the second shelf to Su Li."

Connor held his breath for a moment. The box in room number two on the bottom floor of the armory?
That is the family's most important foundation and military support.

It seems that I really need to have a serious talk with my second son and let him join the team developed by Young Master Su Li.

The Earl has obviously placed a heavy bet by handing over such an important prop to Young Master Su Li.

He immediately bowed slightly and said respectfully, "I respect your wishes, Lord Earl. I will go and arrange it myself."

The aristocratic court was always a sieve, and palace secrets could spread throughout the castle overnight. Soon, the various knight families learned of this news. Coupled with Su Li's performance today and the highly discussed gamble, all the knights under the Redbud Castle turned their attention to Su Li overnight.

Ambitious individuals, opportunists, and adventurous knights all began to secretly pay attention to Su Li's next move. Some even began to prepare to contact this apprentice knight at the center of the spotlight.

But obviously, as the focus of everyone's attention, Su Li knew nothing about all this. He had been diligently helping Hildreth to complete rounds of knight training until the second half of the night, when he contentedly stroked Hildreth's soft and plump fruit and fell asleep happily.
