Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 296 Valkyrie Bloodline (There will be a burst of updates in the next few days, the specific number of days depends on the author's condition)

Seeing that Su Li was in high spirits but didn't care about his morning exercise, Xilude knew that there must be extremely important information.

She immediately stood up, helped Su Li put on his clothes, and then solemnly put on the rune armor herself. Without even having breakfast, the two of them summoned the guards and rushed towards the Gray Market Trading Company headquarters.

When they arrived, it was actually already late. After all, Su Li got up very late, so President Roger was not too surprised.

If he knew that there was a person of legendary bloodline among his captives, he would not sell these people out even if a knife was held to his neck.

Now, when he heard that Su Li had arrived with his guards, he went to greet him with great interest. He had heard last night that this Bauhinia Knight had contacted the woman from the Crankenfield Auction House, and now he must have a lot of wealth in his hands.

Therefore, when he saw Su Li, it was like seeing a fat sheep. As soon as they met, he smiled and said, "Brother Su Li, are you so impatient for these elf slave girls? Hahaha, don't worry, I remember your obsessive-compulsive nature, and the virgins are all reserved for you."

Su Li tried hard to suppress his excitement and said calmly, "You boasted to me about the quality of this batch of goods for a long time yesterday. I came here early in the morning. Please don't let me down. Are all these slaves still there? You didn't secretly sell the good goods to others, did you?"

The armors of Su Li and Lord Heisen could bring him a stable net profit of more than 60000 gold crowns every year. They were truly his benefactors, and he had to treat them well.

Roger immediately patted his chest and assured, "How is that possible? This batch of goods just came in, and we are registering it. No one has seen it yet."

Su Li nodded in satisfaction. As long as it hadn't been sold out, it was fine. He couldn't wait to say, "Then let's go in and take a look."

He had walked through the fifth underground floor once yesterday, but today he felt that the road was particularly long. He couldn't help but speed up his pace again and again. If he hadn't taken the opportunity to unlock the door and constantly adjusted his breathing rhythm, his inner anxiety would have been exposed.

Roger smiled and joked, "Brother Su Li, you weren't very interested in these female slaves yesterday, but why do you seem to be unable to hold back today?"

Su Li spread his hands pretending to be relaxed and said, "To be honest, I still haven't experienced elf beauties. I wonder if I'm progressing too fast, so I'll start with half-elf beauties this time."

"Hahaha!" Roger laughed. "That's a great idea. It's a step-by-step process. The first time I experienced an elven beauty, I couldn't control myself either. Our cargo this time happens to include several half-elven beauties, including a young woman whose charm is truly stunning."

Su Li waved his hand and said, "I'll leave the young woman to you. I still like young girls."

"Haha, brother Su Li, you are really devoted to me."

As he was speaking, the door to the fifth floor finally opened. Su Li held his breath and followed Roger in.

His memory was pretty good. He had just looked through the cages yesterday, and he scanned the new candidates today and quickly identified them all. The main reason was that the new ones were all beautiful elves, which were also easy to identify. There weren't many beautiful elves here to begin with.

Roger brought the roster in front of Su Li and said with a smile, "Brother Su Li, you can take a closer look at their abilities. This time we've added seven elven slave girls, including three silver-helmeted knights, two white lion guards, and two powerful high elven wizards!"

"You know, the elves are a magical race, with powerful powers flowing in their blood. Many of them have shown some talent in subtle magical arts, but only the most gifted young people have the opportunity to go to the White Tower of Hoeth for further training."

"And they bear the Blessing of Isha. Before a promising young Asur wizard is taught the dangers of true magic, he is first shown how to use a few simple spells and enchantments. These spells are called Blessings of Isha. They are much less dangerous to the caster and can be used safely by even the most inexperienced elven wizard."

These blessings have limited use on the battlefield, their purpose being to relieve seekers of the burden of daily chores and allow magical instructors to assess the potential of their assigned tasks, revealing those most favored by the gods. It is said that the elven farmers living near the White Tower of Hoeth never till their lands, for each year a wave of novices eager to practice their skills nourish the land's crops with their spells.

No wonder people say that the farmland around the White Tower of Hos is extremely fertile and can produce five or six crops a year. This is all due to the power of magic.

Su Li looked at the list excitedly, but soon he frowned and asked, "Are you sure all the slaves are here?"

There is no such name as Seranweir Yisriel Twin Tears Shadow Song on it at all!

Roger was surprised for a moment, then reacted and said, "Those here are all high-level slaves, worth considerable value, at least 200 gold crowns or more. However, there are some slaves of relatively low value who have been sorted to other places."

Su Li immediately clenched his fists secretly, and Hildurde also instantly grasped the sword, his expression becoming stern and serious.

If Seranweier was really bought by someone else, they would have to snatch this girl back even if they had to force her to do so.

Su Li found that he had really grown a lot. Perhaps it was because he had faced too much tremendous pressure in this world. If it were in the past, he might have panicked for a moment, but now facing this crisis, he was very calm and said, "President Roger, you are inconsiderate. I want to experience the half-elf girls, so I have to see their appearance, right? Bring all the half-elf girls that arrived today and let me choose. There are only a few powerful female elves, so the range of choices in appearance is too limited, isn't it?"

Beauty alone is truly the least valuable quality of a woman. Appearance combined with talent, temperament, or strength can all create a killer look.

A beautiful slave girl was worth five gold crowns, but a beautiful champion-level vampire was worth over 5 gold crowns.

Upon hearing this, President Roger laughed out loud. "Hahaha, Brother Su Li, you are very thoughtful. I will have someone bring all the half-elf girls here to you right away. They should still be on the ship."

Su Li stood up and said, "I can't wait any longer. I'll go there myself."

"Ah?" President Roger was stunned. "Brother Su Li, are you sure? You want to go to the downtown area? It's full of filth and all kinds of stench."

Su Li grabbed his arm and led him to the water gate on the lower level without saying anything.

Everything was just as Roger had described. From the dungeon's water gate, where the slave ship had docked, rusty seawater lapped against the barnacle-covered dock. Tons of fish entrails accumulated in the cracks of the stone steps, fermenting into a black, asphalt-like gelatin. The salty, rotting seaweed, mixed with the ammonia of slave excrement, pierced the nose, making one want to vomit.

President Roger walked to the top of the water gate and refused to go down no matter what. The follower next to him vomited due to the disgusting smell.

Su Li also felt stomach discomfort. This was the second time in his life that he smelled such a disgusting odor. The last time was in his previous life when he removed the kitchen drain pipe and cleaned the silt that blocked the pipe. That disgusting smell made him realize for the first time that disgusting was not an exaggeration, but a true and realistic description.

The foul smell can really make people's stomach cramp and vomit.

Fortunately, he had experienced a lot of blood and gore in this life. Even when facing such a harsh environment, he just covered his nose with the handkerchief given to him by Hildreth, and took Hildreth and Fastrik directly into the slave ship.

As soon as his moccasins touched the wet planks, he heard the cracking of whips and the screams and howls of slaves from the upper deck.

These slaves were ordinary goods that were selected, which meant that their value was extremely low. Even the most beautiful female slaves, even the fairy-like female elves, were only the most beautiful prostitutes. At most, they were worth a dozen gold coins, which could be used by the crew members and sailors who came ashore to abuse them to their heart's content.

The crew were filled with joy after reaching shore. Having crossed the perilous ocean and successfully reached the shore, they could finally drink rum and enjoy the selected female slaves, soothing their numb bodies with a drunken dream. As per custom, the slave trader guild would tacitly allow them to choose a few female slaves from the remaining slaves to vent their feelings as a reward for landing, to boost their morale and increase their loyalty.

This is also the time when people have the most freedom of movement on the ship, because during transportation, the slaves will be packed like sardines in a can, densely packed in the lower cabins and cages.

Seranweier was chained to the damp bottom cabin. Through the cracks in the wooden boards, she could see the blood-red morning glow rising from the horizon. Just like the day when the dark elves attacked their home, the world was a scarlet doomsday color.

Three drunken crew members were tearing at her linen prison uniform. She struggled like a drowning person caught in the huge waves, and the blood from her lips, which were bitten by her teeth, mixed with salty tears, flowed down. When she reached the shore, she was not selected by the more senior Chamber of Commerce leaders and was left in the cabin. All this was within her expectations.

She felt a piercing chill, her blood uncontrollably frothing in fear, turning into frost. The backlash from the magic-binding collar transformed these into icy needles that stung her nerves. Hildurde, standing in the cabin with Su Li, instantly sensed the icy wind ripples below. She drew her rare sword and, with a single blow, cleaved through the four-layer heavy wooden cabin. The immense power of her blood blasted a massive hole in the cabin.

The golden light of the sun shone through the broken hole into the lower cabin. Seranweier's cold body felt as if it were enveloped by a warm flame, saving her from darkness and despair. She opened her azure eyes in the warmth and saw a man standing against the light. Like the rising sun tearing through the darkness, he wore the golden emblem of the blazing sun and walked into the lower cabin with an incomparably powerful aura.

The three drunken crew members were startled by the loud noise and angrily shouted, "How dare you, a blind bastard, run wild on Gray Market's territory!"

"Boy, do you know who I am? If you dare to disturb our fun, I'll sell you as a slave too!"

"You damned pretty boy, I'm telling you, you're dead. You dared to damage the property of the Gray Market Company? It seems you haven't seen the methods of the slave-catching team!"

Su Li waved his hand indifferently and said calmly: "Kill them all! Don't leave any alive."

There was no need for Hildreth to kill this kind of trash. Fastrik drew his sword, and the sword light instantly flashed at the bottom of the cabin, illuminating the entire darkness. Three streams of blood spurted out and sprinkled on the filthy wall. Then three heavy bodies fell heavily to the ground, and blood quickly covered their corpses.

Su Li stepped on the bloody ground and came to the half-elf girl with her sackcloth torn. He looked down at her and asked, "What's your name?"

"Serlanweier." The girl looked up at the man standing against the backlight. The radiant image of the Church of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun was forever etched in the deepest recesses of her heart. As if offering her most pious true name and soul to the gods, she murmured, "Serlanweier, Isreal, Twin Tears, Shadowsong, powerful knight."

An incomparable bright light suddenly burst out from Su Li's eyes. He was even so excited that he felt like tears welled up in his eyes - I finally found you!
He decisively drew his sword and instantly cut off all the restraints on Seranweier's body. Then he took off his scarlet robe, put it on her himself, and helped her stand up.

Then he whispered into the girl's ear, "Remember the warmth of this moment. It will become the anchor of your lifelong submission."

Seranweier only felt that the gentle temperament and powerful aura of the man in front of her completely surrounded her. Under this double shock, her mind was blank, and this sentence was like a motto written on a pure white paper, firmly imprinted in her mind.

She nodded helplessly, feeling she should say something but not knowing how to start. In the end, she could only lower her head and whispered softly, "The warmth of this moment... I will never forget it."

Su Li put his arm around her slender shoulders and helped her out of the dark bottom hold of the slave ship. The moment they came out, the light from the distance shone in from the water gate and came into their sight. Seranweier felt as if she was completely reborn at this moment.

President Roger and a large number of guards were waiting nervously on top of the water gate. They had all felt the powerful blood force that had just erupted below.

The power of the God-chosen Knight can only be felt most deeply and directly when facing her.

They did not expect any conflict between the two sides.

So when President Roger saw Su Li coming out holding a female slave in a tattered linen prison uniform, he swallowed nervously and asked quickly, "Knight of the Bauhinia Flower, what happened just now? Is there any misunderstanding?"

Su Li glanced at his tense body and the numerous guards behind him with bows and arrows drawn, and said calmly, "It's nothing. A few drunken sailors provoked me, and I taught them a lesson for you. Do you want me to compensate you?"

Roger glanced at the huge hole in the slave ship and immediately shook his head like a rattle. Now that the legendary knights had all gone to Modheim, the God-chosen knights were the most powerful fighting force in the Border Prince's Territory. He didn't want to have a serious conflict with the War Saint at all.

He quickly said, "As commoners, they dared to speak disrespectfully to noble knights and lords. It is only natural that they should be punished. There is no need for compensation. I hope that the Bauhinia Knights will not let their actions affect our relationship."

Su Li nodded, then hugged the trembling girl in his arms in front of the large number of slave-hunting teams and said, "I want to buy this half-elf girl. Name your price."

President Roger took a half step back, covered his nose with a handkerchief, and glanced at the female slave who exuded a foul odor. Unable to see her face clearly, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I didn't expect the Redbud Knight to have such strong tastes. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Su Li's lips curled up slightly, completely unconcerned with his current sarcasm. If he knew what he had given away today, he would regret it to death and lament it every night. He smiled calmly and said, "Hilde, give President Roger 200 gold crowns. Let's go back and take a shower first. We stink."

"Leaving now?" Although Su Li's explanation was very reasonable, President Roger still keenly noticed that the Bauhinia Knight came here with such fanfare today, probably just for this half-elf woman!

He quickly said, "Knight of the Redbud Flower, this slave girl hasn't been examined yet. What if there's any Nurgle virus or Chaos corruption..."

Before he could finish, Hildreth had already tossed a bag of gold coins into his arms. He then grasped his rare sword, his powerful aura instantly enveloping everyone in front of him. "President Roger, you've already given him away, and we've paid. From a personal point of view, from every aspect of the transaction, he's already ours. Either you get out of the way, or I'll force my way through."

Hearing her stern words, everyone behind President Roger's heart froze, their bodies tensed, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on their backs. Everyone knew exactly what the outcome would be if this God-Chosen Knight barged in.

No wonder she arrived wearing Vibranium Rune Armor! Such a powerful God-Chosen Knight, clad in Vibranium Rune Armor, is a killing machine. If a conflict breaks out, she alone could wipe out the hundreds of guards present.

The leader of the slave-hunting group quickly pulled President Roger, fearing that the president would take a tougher stance and cause a real conflict between the two sides.

President Roger angrily kicked him into the cold pool next to the water dungeon. What a waste! If he hadn't failed to see the qualifications of this half-elf woman, how could it have ended up like this?
Then he glanced unwillingly at the girl hiding in Su Li's arms. Although he couldn't tell what was so special about this trembling woman, her firm attitude must be worth more than 200 gold crowns.

But the fact is already established, and he can't go back on his word. Otherwise, he will not be in the right no matter where he goes.

He quickly adjusted himself and said with a smile, "Hey, Redbud Knight, you misunderstood. I was worried that her stinking body would spoil your mood. So I suggested that the Chamber of Commerce clean her and do a comprehensive inspection to prevent her from dying after you buy her, which would be a huge loss."

Su Li was almost certain that if the Gray Market people took her away now, they would definitely not find the body, insisting that the half-elf girl accidentally drowned in the bath and that the body had been buried. No matter how furious Su Li was, they would not hand her over.

So Su Li smiled calmly and responded, "Thank you, President Roger, for your kindness, but this is my property and I will take good care of it myself. 200 gold crowns, even if you selected her to the fifth level, that's the price. It doesn't matter who you sell it to, you won't lose anything. I believe President Roger can see all this clearly."

After hearing what Su Li said, Roger was silent for a moment, then he sighed, waved to the guards behind him, and scolded: "What do you have to do? Stand here and watch the fun? Disperse quickly and don't get in the way!"

Just as Su Li said, he still couldn't see what was so special about this woman. Even without Su Li, she wouldn't have been able to enter the fifth floor, and she might have suffered even greater losses.

So he could only think positively; at least the losses were smaller now. The members of the slave-hunting group breathed a sigh of relief. Many of them still didn't understand what had happened, but the murderous intent of the God-Chosen Knight had truly weighed on their heads. Now that the conflict was resolved, they quickly parted ways and watched as a group of fully armed knights escorted Su Li and the slave girl away.

Walking out of the Gray Market Trading Company, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief as the warm spring sun shone on him. President Roger's reaction was too quick, but fortunately, everything was fine in the end. The underground war clouds dissipated, and he successfully took control of the bloodline of this legendary Valkyrie!

This can be said to be the biggest unexpected gain of this trip. Even if it is only for Seranweier, this trip is worth it.

Su Li smiled and instructed the people around him, "Let's go back to Mar-a-Lago first. Hildre, take her to take a bath. Fastrick, you're a playboy and you know what women's clothing is the most popular these days. I'll approve 300 gold crowns for you, and you go buy Seranweier some of the most fashionable clothes and jewelry."

"300 gold crowns?" Fastrick's eyes widened. This amount of money could almost buy a set of star armor! But he only bought some jewelry and clothes for this slave girl?

The lord has already spent 500 gold crowns on this unknown woman. He bet that the lord may not have seen what this woman looks like yet.

At least in the dark bottom of the slave ship, the woman was shrouded in shadow by the backlight, and Fastrick couldn't see what her face looked like.

This made him think of the legendary secrets of the lord. Could it be that this woman had the same extraordinary talent as Butler Hildre?
