Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 18 Frederick's Complete Surrender

The lioness Sera is indeed as strong, elegant and majestic as the arena manager praised, and she is worthy of being called the queen of the lion group.

She has strong limbs and golden fur. Although she does not have a mane as majestic as her partner, it shines in the sun. Her head is smooth and her ears are round and alert. If she is evaluated from the perspective of a lion group, she is definitely sexy.

For cat lovers, this is the perfect pet. In the past, ordinary people wouldn't dare get so close to a lion, but now, this agile little lioness is no different from a kitten in front of a group of knights.

Especially since these knights were all wearing helmets and armor, Sera was very alert and chose to observe, not daring to resist.

So Su Li successfully took it out of the town and strolled all the way to the cemetery.

As soon as they approached the cemetery, Su Li turned to everyone and asked, "Did you see a shadow in the cemetery just now?"

Hild had just been promoted to an apprentice knight and still maintained the mentality of an ordinary person. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but hug his arms tightly, his whole body tense. "Master Su Li, please don't scare me. Is that shadow in the cemetery a human or a ghost?"

Schwartz raised his fine steel warhammer, his expression filled with disgust as he said, "Anyone sneaking around is either a grave robber or a vampire cadaver stealer. They're all scum that deserve to be smashed to pieces!"

There are vampires in this world as well, and they are a very powerful force. These monsters are especially common in the area near the coast south of the Border Prince's territory.

Different from the traditional impression of pale, blood-sucking, nocturnal humanoid monsters and sickly people with Eastern European accents, the vampires in this world are very strong. Not only can they appear during the day, but they can also form armies, wearing heavy armor, holding greatswords, and fighting head-on with human knights.

This is because these undead lords themselves are transformed from living people who betrayed the empire. They despise life and survive with dark magic. They are strong, swift and excellent warriors with eternal life.

These monsters are eager to use slaughter to bring the entire world into darkness and despair, ensuring that everything is under their complete control, and the foolish humans are nothing more than slaves and food. To achieve this goal, they often steal human corpses and transform the remains of the dead in the cemetery into undead creatures under their control, including skeleton warriors, ghouls, grave guards, vampire bats, and so on.

It can be said that vampires are one of the most important traitors and enemies of the human empire.

They slaughtered the people of the Empire, destroyed villages and towns, and desecrated the corpses of their human relatives.

Every knight has dreamed of defeating an evil vampire in a cemetery with his own hands and burning it at the stake as a formal punishment.

William and Sophie excitedly rode into the cemetery. Only Frederick looked a bit suspicious and asked, "Why don't I see any shadows? Does Young Master Su Li have some kind of visual talent that surpasses that of an elite knight like me?"

But Schwartz and Hilde both believed in Su Li and had already entered the cemetery to search, so Frederick had no choice but to follow the team.

Soon, William's proud and excited voice came from the front: "Master Su Li, Father, I found that shadow. It's a thief who was dodging us! It was sneaking around and ran away when it saw us. Its movements were very suspicious."

Su Li smiled and immediately rode over. In the middle of the cemetery, several knights surrounded a hooded thief. He had his eyes covered with his cheeks, and the dagger and short crossbow in his hands had been knocked aside. His body was covered with blood.

He was apparently subdued only after a violent resistance.

But facing so many knights, he still dared to take out his sword to resist, which was itself an abnormal thing.

When it saw Su Li, it immediately shouted nervously: "Who are you? I am a member of the Thieves Guild. I am protected by the guild. You cannot illegally imprison me!"

"Illegal?" Su Li felt genuinely shocked by the foreign civilization: "A thief like you is talking to me about the law?"

Su Li couldn't help but turn to look at Frederick and asked, "How come there's a Thieves Guild in Bauhinia Town?" He remembered that when Frederick was the judge, his judgments were very rough. In short, the sentence was death! Death! Death!

Frederick didn't deny this past. He explained, "In Bauhinia Town, thieves caught rarely get a chance to go to court. It's usually our local custom to lynch them and hand them over to the guards. The guards, however, don't bother with them. They simply strip the unfortunate thieves of their broken limbs and throw them naked outside the city or into the sewers to feed the monsters. Occasionally, an alchemist needs experimental supplies and sells them to them at a price. The result is the same anyway."

"Death, death, death. It's barbaric and crude, but it's certainly effective. The number of pickpockets and thieves forced to make a living has indeed decreased significantly. The only problem is that organized thieves' guilds, backed by official power, have grown stronger. That's why they exist."

Has an official background? Su Li suddenly realized it, then turned to look at the thief and said, "I am the son of an earl. No matter how powerful the official power behind you is, it can't control me. Tell me the truth, what are you doing here? Which ancient tomb are your companions hiding in?"

"I...I don't have any companions! I won't say anything."

"Break his legs."

"Ah!" "Ah!" Screams rang out immediately, sounding particularly terrifying in this gloomy cemetery.

Su Li showed no sympathy to the thief who was writhing and wailing on the ground. He said calmly, "Give him three seconds. If he doesn't tell me, I'll break his third leg."

Facts have proven that 99.99999% of people in the world cannot withstand torture. He was just a despicable thief, not a noble revolutionary martyr. He succumbed to the mere torture.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! It's in the largest ancient tomb in the north."

Su Li waved his hand and said to Schwartz, "My chief knight, take the men and pull out all the despicable thieves inside."

Frederick was very dissatisfied and said, "Master Su Li, just clean up these shady rats and leave it to the city defense team. How can we noble knights do such dirty work?"

"Maybe there will be a surprise." Su Li smiled faintly.

Frederick couldn't resist Su Li's resolute attitude and could only follow Schwartz into the tomb. However, he was still filled with anger and said angrily to William and Sophie, "Today is the most shameful day of my life! If I surrender to maintain my honor, I will be doomed to endure endless humiliation in the future. Perhaps our family should find a way out."

Sophie advised, "Father, don't be so impulsive. Master Su Li may be suspecting a vampire. Chasing a vampire into the cemetery won't tarnish your honor; on the contrary, it will be a cause for celebration."

"Oh my God! God, what did I find?" The shocked voice of Hilde came from the front.

Following the direction of his finger, everyone saw the dazzling metal hidden in the pottery jar - vibranium! A large amount of vibranium! Vibranium of incomparable value!

Schwartz instantly gasped and said in shock, "Master Su Li was right. I'll find vibranium when I go out today. If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I wouldn't have believed it."

The anger in Frederick's heart instantly vanished, his eyes gleaming with shock and excitement. He excitedly walked out of the tomb, his voice filled with unconcealed admiration and excitement: "Master Su Li, you are truly amazing! Every decision you make is so wise and insightful. You will surely become the greatest lord! Glory, praises, flowers, and our loyalty will always follow you!"

So exaggerated? This change happened too quickly. Su Li smiled and asked, "Knight Frederick, what did you find inside?"

"At least 150 kilograms of vibranium, 50 gold coins worth of stolen money, and about 20 gold coins worth of stolen goods! Are we taking all of this away?"
