Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 67 Snow Mist Pearl

Knight Orstein said he was suspicious, but in fact his eyes were full of questions.

After spending so many days together, the knights of the territory have more or less guessed that their lord has a certain ability to predict the future.

There are already fanatical servants who secretly call the lord the insider of the Heisen Mountain, the great prophet of the Heisen Territory, and the guiding star of the Bauhinia family.

Su Li was also aware that many bloodlines in this world had certain predictive abilities, so until now, he was not quite sure whether he had obtained the golden finger or the ability of bloodline awakening.

But no matter what, this is a good thing. Throughout history, both in China and abroad, the prophets of a force are always respected sages. The more powerful forces with rich civilizations, such as forest elves and powerful churches, will pay special attention to the position of prophets, and even revere them as leaders.

Su Li did not deliberately hide all this. A force that has to overcome all difficulties and build a new path from scratch needs a great leader to give them inspiration and hope.

So when faced with Knight Orstein's question, Su Li did not deny it, nor did he respond directly. Instead, he asked, "My Lord Commander, if there really is a giant dragon, then isn't what we are doing now to weaken its followers and attack its strength?"

Knight Orstein was immediately energized. He laughed heartily, and his hard brown beard trembled slightly under his helmet, just like his excitement at the moment.

"Haha, Lord, you are absolutely right. A powerful knight must have the courage to face challenges head-on, slaying orcs, monsters, and even dragons, to have a broader and brighter future."

"I feel that following you, my Lord, to explore the border princely territory is the best decision I have ever made! Only here can I find the meaning of life and walk a more magnificent and long-term path on the path of cultivation. Your words back then were like a guiding light on my path of cultivation."

A champion knight regards Su Li as a prophet and great mentor, and this character becomes clear immediately.

Su Li couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Who in the Heisen Territory would dare to question his authority in the future?
With the full support of Knight Orstein, Su Li led the territory's army to quickly cross the soft and fertile green hills in the north and arrived at the bloody highlands further north.

It is called this name because it is at the foot of the Gray Mountain. During the rainy season, bandits and beast tribes in the Gray Mountain will rush out to plunder and fight. After the snow on the snow-capped mountains melts, the streams flowing down are stained with blood.

Because the water flow is not strong enough, these streams spread across the grassland at the foot of the mountain, dyeing the land red, and making a plant called blood hoof grass abundant here. This is a horse grass with leaves shaped like horseshoes and with blood-red edges. It is one of the best forages in the world.

This will be the territory's fertile pasture specifically for breeding.

Crossing the Bloody Highlands and heading north, you will reach the Grey Mountains. The dominant industry here is mining. The low peaks of the Grey Mountains are rich in copper, iron and gold mines. If you can break through here, you will see patrolling dwarf guards and dwarf miners with mattocks in the tunnels deep in the mountains.

Su Li and Knight Orstein led the main force of the army and took three days to successfully cross the Bloody Highlands and arrived at the Jinke Mine in the southwest of the Gray Mountains.

Before they launched their attack, a squadron of knights galloped over from afar. All four knights wore fine, heavy plate armor. The red battle markings on the leader's armor gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight; it was a Vibranium Rune Armor of Brilliant Sunshine. The Death Claws soaring in the sky let out an excited shriek and descended, circling joyfully around the squadron.

Knight Frederick, who was guarding Su Li, smiled and said, "My Lord, it's Hildre and the others who have returned."

Su Li asked in surprise, "How could it be so fast? Although the Gray Mountain Range is only a branch, it would take at least a day and a night to climb to the highest peak, right?"

Climbing Mount Everest takes 2-5 days. Even if the knights had better stamina, they shouldn't have been so much faster. It's a snowy mountain after all, and the four knights, with their swords in hand, braving the wind and snow, shouldn't have been so fast.

Before Su Li could think about it, Xilude had already rode his horse in front of him. He pulled the reins and the horse's front hooves were raised high, and it stopped directly in front of Su Li in a heroic manner.

"My Lord, we have successfully planted our family flag on the highest peak of the Gray Mountains and have forged a friendship with the Snow Fairies. They have promised that if the people of our territory get lost in the snowy mountains, they will guide them to a safe path out of the mountains."

This is really a great harvest.

Su Li asked, "So you guys are so fast because of the Snow Fairy's help?"

Xilude nodded excitedly. It was obvious that this fantasy journey made her very excited. She couldn't wait to share the wonderful process of the journey with Su Li.

"We followed your orders and headed for the highest snow-capped peak in the Grey Mountains. Initially, our search was not smooth, but we finally encountered a frosty path made of ice and snow. This path ascended along the ridge cliffs, shrouded in wind and snow, with visibility no more than thirty meters."

"We were initially worried that the icy stairs beneath our feet would break, but once we set foot on them, we realized we were completely unsure. We were even able to engage in intense combat on them. The stairs didn't break, and snow corpses continued to swarm along the way. We killed over a hundred of them, and they dropped over thirty snow mist beads."

Corpse demons are a common type of monster in this world. They are transformed from wandering dead people who refuse to rest. Due to their hatred and disgust for the living, they constantly attack passing travelers. If they devour enough flesh and blood, a powerful Corpse Demon King may be born.

Snow corpse monsters are particularly likely to be born in snowy mountains. The bodies and breath of the deceased are covered by ice and snow, greatly increasing the probability of transformation into a corpse monster.

Demon hunters, rangers, and mercenaries also make their livings hunting wights in the snowy mountains. A single Snow Mist Orb is worth 20-30 silver coins and is essential for refining certain special potions and runes. For example, the Redbud Family's Blazing Soul Law Armor, engraved with the Froststeel rune, requires two Snow Mist Orbs.

With the Troll Acid and Snow Mist Beads, the materials for forging Vibranium Rune Armor in the territory are almost complete!
Su Li then looked at Xilude and asked, "Besides these, do you have any other more valuable gains?"
