Give them a little funny shock

Chapter 570: 666 Knight Ghost and the Intruder (I)

Archon Espedia, whose full name is Espedia Julius Lobia, Julius is her clan name and Lobia is her family name. The clan name is equivalent to her surname and is the most important part of the name.

In the past, when this land still belonged to her family, the title "Conqueror of Uribenoa" would have to be added to the end of her long name.

But with the loss of their nobility forever, they also lost the title.

Although her family still retains this title in the official database of the empire, they can no longer use this title.

Even if they regained their nobility in the future, they would then only be able to use their new titles, not their old ones.

When the Knights returned to the bastion, the sun in the sky was almost completely gone, with only a small part remaining at the end of the horizon.

The sky was almost getting dark, but here, in Wang Ruide's bastion and in the human settlements around the bastion, the lights were still on.

The lights on the roadside and in the village replaced the sun, illuminating the area with bright lights. The huge searchlights on the bastions illuminated the ground in all directions and the sky above. The thick beams of light shot straight into the sky, as if they could extend all the way to the end of the universe.

Even in this area, where there are no ghosts wandering around, people still make the cities or gathering places brightly lit at night.

The nights are scary, even in such a 'normal' area.

"Haha, I heard your father is dying of illness? It would be bad if you can't take over the throne then, right?"

In the bastion, in Wang Ruide's Wang family fortress, Wang Ruide was happily holding his bowl and chopsticks, looking at the handsome young man sitting opposite him. He didn't have a single good word to say, only pure gloating, as if he completely ignored the friendship between himself and the young man's mother.

Wang Ruide and the young man's mother have a very good relationship. Although the two have not had a long-term friendship, Wang Ruide has shed tons of sweat on her, and the friendship brought about by these tons of sweat is naturally extremely solid.

Therefore, although the words he said were unpleasant to the ear, Wang Ruide tried his best to teach this young man, the son of his old friend, without hiding anything from him.

But... I can only say that people have different talents.

The young man didn't pay attention to Wang Ruide's teasing. He had been Wang Ruide's attendant for quite a long time, so he naturally knew the temperament of the knight he served. Moreover, the two were of similar age and there was no generation gap between them, so the communication was very smooth.

The age difference between forty-five and seventeen is not that big, strictly speaking. Perhaps in other parts of the world, forty-five is already halfway through one's life, or even more.

But here, in the Khadra Empire, it was different.

Because the life span of the Kadra people is over 250 years, many people may not truly mature mentally until they are in their 50s or 60s and enter the psychological realm of "adulthood".

"I am still young, and I have a long time to practice. I don't think I can't reach the standard of a knight in such a long time, Your Excellency."

The young man's attitude was still elegant and calm. Although he had never used chopsticks before coming here, he had become very skilled in using chopsticks in the past two months. He did not look like a newbie at all. He poured the cut tofu from the plate into the steaming pot in front of him. After cooking for a while, he took out the tofu and the pickles from the pot, put them on the edge of the bowl, blew on them gently, and then put them into his mouth.

Tofu is delicious no matter how it is cooked. Wang Ruide felt that he was sometimes lucky. Although he traveled to a place that looked like the Middle Ages in Europe, he could taste many flavors from his hometown.

For example, pickles. However, pickled foods have existed in almost every civilization in the past, so this is nothing special.

But tofu is a rather rare thing. The tofu of his native civilization can almost be said to be unique on Earth. Other civilizations have basically never had similar soy product preparations in history.

But here, in this world, Wang Ruide can taste tofu from another world, but the taste is exactly the same as that of his hometown.

There are even some tofu recipes that haven’t even been invented in my hometown. The taste is completely different. While bringing the familiar taste, it also adds a huge amount of freshness.

"But your father is a baron, kid." Wang Ruide picked up a ball of pickles from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he scooped out a piece of tofu with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth, closing his eyes and then opening them again.

"Haha, after eating pickled vegetables and tofu——"

"Emperor, hehe, no, I..."

"Ha ha!"

Wang Reid let out a long breath, licked his lips, then looked at his young attendant Sovos again and said:

"I'll tell you the truth, you don't have the talent."

"It's useless to just become a knight. You don't have talent. You can't become a noble and inherit the glory of your family."

"I know this may be cruel and hard to hear. But I am not a person who likes to beat around the bush, unlike you Makrela people."

Listening to Wang Ruide's words, the young man's expression remained calm, composed and elegant. But the trembling chopsticks he put into the pot betrayed him.

Wang Reid's full name is Reid Zhang the Destroyer of Massilia and Clinos, the latter being his title, Massilia inherited from his father and Clinos coming from his own merits.

He had fought in a war between the Empire and another country, and had distinguished himself in the war:
The Purple Whale Super Heavy Armored Knights led by him cooperated with several other knight groups of the empire to launch a surprise attack and defeat the enemy's defense forces in the Klinos region, cutting off an important supply route on the front battlefield and providing great help to the situation on the front battlefield.

At the same time, he also defeated a group of knights from the Imperial Church of Enderal, which was one of the top military forces of the enemy empire. Although it was not under the direct jurisdiction of the empire, you could often see them on the battlefield.

As a result, he was awarded the Order of the Golden Eagle by the Empire, and this battle completely established his eligibility to inherit the noble status.
