Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 21 Attracting Talent
After Su Li left Frederick to take care of the half-griffin, he returned to his room. Tonight he would practice hard with Hildreth and try to help her successfully break through to become a high-level apprentice knight.

Su Li had never been so attentive to his own cultivation.

In this regard, Su Li concluded that there was nothing he could do, he was just such a "kind-hearted and charitable" person, and good and evil would be rewarded in the end.

Unlike him who turned off the lights and went to bed early, the lights were still on in Earl Suna's room on the top floor of Bauhinia Castle.

A lot had happened today. First, Bauhinia Castle had lost an elite knight with immense potential, and now it was about to lose a noble demi-griffon. This had left the Earl feeling very heavy-hearted.

When Connor summarized the day's intelligence and reported to him, Earl Suna said expectantly, "My Chief Knight, I need some good news to cheer me up. Is there any good news about Su Li today? Has he made any major breakthroughs in recruiting people today?"

Looking at Earl Suna's expectant eyes, Knight Connor couldn't bear to criticize him, but he could only report truthfully: "Your Excellency, Young Master Su Li...there is no change in the number of personnel in his pioneering team."

"No changes?" Count Suna asked in astonishment. "How is that possible? He already had two elite knights, two official knights, and two apprentice knights yesterday. This scale is enough to support the formation of a small pioneer territory and attract some adventurous knights to join. As long as Su Li goes to recruit candidates, someone will definitely join his team. With luck, they may even become official knights."

"How could he have six people yesterday and still six people today?"

Knight Connor replied helplessly, "Because Young Master Su Li...is not at Bauhinia Castle today. He didn't even go into the Knight Camp to recruit."

Count Suna was also helpless, feeling a bit disappointed: "He clearly has great talent, why doesn't he strive for progress?"

This is also Knight Connor’s biggest feeling, and it is also the reason why he has not yet sent his second son to join Su Li’s team.

Young Master Su Li gave people the impression that he was not ambitious. He seemed too casual and completely lacked the wolf spirit that a lord should have.

It makes people doubt whether he can really lead a group of people to forge ahead and achieve great things. I am afraid that he will give up before he even reaches the pioneering territory because he is afraid of the hardship and fatigue.

If he could devote one tenth of his energy in bed to serious work, he would have a team of knights by now!
Count Suna gritted his teeth and asked, "So what did he do today?"

"According to the information I received, Su Li and his team went down the mountain to gamble, then bought a lion and paraded it around the city, frightening several freemen. Some of the town's celebrities and prominent families were recommended to report him to the government officials."

Count Suna was even amused. "He really has the habits of a playboy. Eating, drinking, enjoying life, gambling and playing with women. Now he's started to play with hawks and running dogs! He already has a running dog, and it's a lion. Should he play with birds next?"

Seeing this, Connor was also deeply impressed: "My Lord Earl, you can still smile at this time, and your mentality is better. Tomorrow is the last day of the appointment. Given the progress of Young Master Su Li, aren't you worried?"

Before Count Suna could reply, a young knight hurried in from outside the study. He knocked excitedly on the door and, without waiting for a reply, announced loudly, "Father, Father, there has been significant progress in the matter you arranged for me."

Connor frowned, turned around, and scolded, "Stern, how many times have I told you to stay calm? How can you succeed if you get excited and lose your composure over the slightest thing?"

Count Suna sat behind the chair, smiling, and said, "Connor, your son's personality is very similar to yours. Forget it, I'll educate Stern another day. Little guy, tell me if there is any important progress?" Count Suna probably guessed that the task Connor assigned to him was to keep an eye on Su Li's progress.

Stern quickly replied, "Your Excellency, Young Master Su Li has tamed the out-of-control griffin! The griffin has now become Knight Frederick's mount."

"What?" Connor looked up excitedly and asked, "What's going on? Wasn't Master Su Li not in Bauhinia Castle all day? How did he suddenly tame that out-of-control half-griffin?"

"According to the time calculation, it's only been over half an hour since he came back. It's impossible for the half-griffon to submit as soon as he shows up!"

Count Suna was also shocked. He even suspected that the father and son had colluded to give him this surprise.

He turned around in surprise, looked at Knight Connor, and asked, "Why is there such a huge contrast in your intelligence about Su Li every time?"

Su Li didn't recruit any knights today, but he did acquire a half-griffin! This is something many knights dream of, and he achieved it so easily?!

Connor felt really wronged: "I don't know why this happened. Master Su Li always seems to have the ability to turn decay into something magical."

"He only found two women yesterday, and no one expected that these two women would successfully break through and become apprentice knights that afternoon."

"Today he went to buy a lion, and somehow, in the evening he got a griffin."

This was already bizarre, and after hearing Knight Connor repeat it, Stern's eyes lit up. He looked at his father with a burning gaze, "Father, if I join Young Master Su Li's team tomorrow morning, will I... also achieve a breakthrough in the afternoon?"

He has been stuck at the high-level official knight for a long time, and has not found a way to break through in the past six months.

He is 20 years old this year, and his achievement of becoming a high-ranking official knight has been admired by countless people. Many people regard him as a role model.

But a 20-year-old high-ranking official knight can only be said to be admirable. But if it is a 20-year-old elite knight, it will cause countless people to be shocked and amazed!

The former is merely praise from the elders to the younger generation, but the latter is something that will evoke both awe and respect. This means that he will have a high probability of surpassing his elders and challenging higher realms.

Count Suna also praised him and said, "Young man, you have great ideas and courage."

Hearing Count Suna's attitude, Knight Connor knew he could no longer object to this matter, so he said to Stern, "You are impatient. Forget calm observation. Instead, be more decisive and swift. There's no need to wait until tomorrow morning. Bring your weapons, armor, horse, and attendants tonight and report to Young Master Su Li."
