Riding and Slashing

Chapter 11
The news Anson got from the pirate with the broken leg was about a 'treasure'.

The news is said to have come from a book scribe in Boshi City—these people who deal with old and ancient books every day do occasionally make surprising discoveries.

But this time, the scribe discovered a big secret.

The secret is related to the ancient resident of the Griffon Knights that has never been discovered, or an ancient ruin.

Those pirates kept going to Boshi City, and drove their boats to and from the rivers in the mainland, just to find out this station.

The ancient Pendor kingdom once ruled over the entire territory of this continent-to this day, the continent is still named after Pendor.

The Griffon Knights were once the national knights of the Ancient Pendor Kingdom, and they were once the strongest knights in this continent, none of them.

But it is said that 150 years ago, under the collusion of the Jatu raiders and Alfred, the Duke of Sarleon, all the Griffon Knights were killed in Longhe Town.

After the Griffin Knights fell, the Duke of Sarleon seized the country and became king, destroyed all the forces loyal to the Pendor royal family, and established the Sarleon Kingdom, and the Lion Knights who supported him became the National Knights.

Since then, the Griffin Knights have been declared illegal by the Sarleon Kingdom, and the black griffin coat of arms with countless legends can no longer be seen in the mainland.

And their mysterious residence has been buried by the years, no one knows.

The Griffin Knights, the secret base left by such a legendary force, how many treasures will be hidden there?

It's attractive just thinking about it.

And those pirates, after a long time of hard work, confirmed the approximate location of that station—probably the source of a certain river near Changhe Town.

But there are countless rivers near Changhe Town, and they haven't found them so far, so they went to Boshi City again, hoping to find out any neglected information from the scribe.

Li Ang understands the mentality of the pirates eager to find treasure or get a secret station, but he scoffs at this kind of behavior - for a legendary "mysterious station", a lot of manpower and material resources are spent thousands of miles to search for it. Is this a pirate or an explorer?

Simply unprofessional...

He just wrote down the matter silently, and waited for a suitable opportunity in the future to talk about it.

The most important thing right now is to go to Sarleon City to register as a pioneer lord.

This team, which has won a lot of loot, has a new look, and its morale and spirit are much better than before.

But Li Ang had to set off alone one step ahead of time—he had to arrive in Sarleon City before Duke Alma, and complete his registration at the House of Nobles.

This is Anson's suggestion.

As a son of a nobleman, even if he is not from the Sarleon Kingdom, Anson still understands the behavior of the nobles better than Li Ang or Klose.

Li Ang can only be regarded as a commoner at best now. The knight order his father belonged to has been destroyed, and it may even have been declared an illegal knight order long ago—otherwise, he would not have kept his mouth shut for the rest of his life.

If he arrived in Sarleon after the Duke of Alma or the illegitimate son, then the pioneering baron certificate in his hand is likely to be declared invalid under a few gossips from the Duke of Alma-King Ulrik must be very happy. I hope so, after all, there are too many nobles, but the territory has never been enough.

But this kind of matter usually cannot be resolved by a letter or an order from the duke. He must also go to the king and speak to the king, and the king will issue the order.After all, the certificate issued by the House of Nobles represents the authority of the king.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, this kind of anger will not lead to any targeted disaster consequences-at least not to send people to kill.After all, he didn't offend him too much, it's just that he failed to realize his illegitimate child's wish, so it's not really hatred.

Therefore, before the Duke of Alma's convoy returns to Sarleon City, it will probably not be a problem to register as a pioneer lord with the House of Nobles.

Those who really want his life should be members of the Red Brotherhood, so the farther away from the chaotic place on the west coast, the safer it is.

Li Ang felt that what Anson said made sense, so he rode Alice on the road alone and ran all night.

They agreed to regroup near Changhe Town in order to purchase supplies in Changhe Town.

Li Ang wasn't worried at all that his subordinates would abandon him and run away - he could see them in the team panel.

This half-baked subsystem that cannot see the basic attributes of the characters, the function of the team panel is not discounted.

Alice is indeed a good horse. At noon on the third day, Li Ang traveled thousands of miles and came to the outside of Lieshi City.

Sarleon City is the capital of the Sarleon Kingdom.

But its former name was Kavala—this was the name of the founder of the Gupand Kingdom.

It used to be the capital of the ancient Pendor Kingdom.

The walls are 15 meters high - this is almost an impenetrable city from the outside.

This is indeed the case. This city has changed hands three times, and each time it was breached from the inside...

Although the Sarleon Kingdom has been established for 150 years, from a distance, on the walls of this male city, you can still vaguely see the outline of a huge griffin relief—it was just deliberately flattened and then redrawn on its surface In the shape of a lion with teeth and claws.

But in any case, the law and order here is much better than that of Fog Cage City...

At least I didn't see any sneaky gangs on the streets.

The guards at the city gate didn't stop Li Ang, and didn't even ask him to stop and check—they probably thought that the one who could ride the golden-maned horse Alice into the city must be a nobleman, and there was no need to ask for trouble.

This is also the main reason why Li Ang has always wanted this horse, not because of Alice's excellent speed and endurance, but because of its good looks.

Li Ang ran wildly in the wide street.

The destination is naturally the House of Nobles of Sarleon City, the official institution in charge of all noble fiefdoms in Sarleon.

The Noble House is actually not easy to find, which is very unconventional—it is said that the Pande Noble House was the tallest building in the center of the city more than 100 years ago, and its high dome can be seen anywhere in the city.

But since the first generation of Sarleon, that is, Duke Alfred of Sarleon, has stolen the country and become king, the tallest independent building in Sarleon has since become his family's private property—now it is also Ulrich's house. King's private property.

As for the new House of Nobles, it is hidden in a deep alley on the branch road next to the King's Road, basically no different from the residences of the little nobles.

Perhaps this is because there were a large number of documents hidden in the former Pendor Noble House, and they dare not be known;
Or perhaps to make officials more approachable and less corrupt;
But Li Ang felt that this was probably because the Lion King didn't want taller buildings to appear in the country, lest someone be 'on top of them'.

After all, the reason why the thief of the country can become the fierce lion king is because he is 'unwilling to be subordinated'.

Looking at the towering and majestic building in the center of the city with a height of more than 30 meters, Li Ang shook his head, asked all the way along the King's Avenue, and finally found the gate of the Noble Court.

Above the main entrance is engraved a goddess with a dignified look, wearing a long robe, holding a spear in one hand, and a law code in the other, with an owl standing on her shoulder.

This is the chief deity of the Gupanders and the official faith of the Kingdom of Sarleon today—Eunomia, the god of order and zeal.

The statue is very delicate, but it is a bit incongruous - there should have been a pendant representing the timing of the sun and the moon on Eunomia's chest, but this statue has replaced it with a lion's head.

Even changing the image of the main god... This flattering skill is obviously extremely high.

However, I don't know if the God of Order without the order of the sun and the moon is willing to bless the Sarleon Kingdom, which claims to have inherited the orthodoxy of Gupander.
