Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 7: Elite Knight Bloodbeard Frederick

As it turns out, Count Sunna's view of Su Li was a tiny bit off from reality.

Ordinary people really can't hold their breath and wait for the right moment in such critical times. But who is Su Li? A corporate slave who has been oppressed for years! He's faced the pressure of submitting work summaries year after year, pressure that eventually killed him! After all, he didn't have any real work achievements, so how could he submit any work summary? He could only drag it out day by day!

Having died once already, Su Li now has a particularly indifferent attitude. So, after venting on the little maid, Su Li, feeling refreshed, pillowed his head on Avril's cool, beautiful legs, ready for a nice afternoon nap.

He rubbed his head comfortably against Avril's rounded, smooth legs, letting out a satisfied sigh. A woman's body is truly wonderful! Why are their legs not only smooth and delicate but also slightly cool? So comfortable!

Before falling asleep, he reminded the little maid, who was now molded to his shape in body and mind, "Avril, wake me up at three-thirty. I'm going to see Knight Frederick."

Avril, who was gently massaging Su Li's temples with her slender fingers to relieve his excitement after the strenuous exercise, said curiously, "Knight Frederick? Master, you seem to be very interested in him recently. You've mentioned him twice in a row now."

Su Li was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Avril, just a maid, to have such insight. He's been staying in the Violet Castle, and the secrets about him might be exposed soon.

However, this kind of prophetic ability might not attract much covetousness. Many forces have their own prophets, shamans, and watchers.

Su Li felt that he could lean towards this direction, so he said, "Yes. I have a strong feeling that something bad is going to happen to Knight Frederick. How much do you know about Knight Frederick?"

Avril didn't think much after hearing Su Li's explanation and said directly, "That might be because you awakened the power of your bloodline. I heard that many bloodlines have strong premonitions about things that are about to happen. Some powerful knights can even foresee certain fragments of the future. If you have this ability, you can interact with Knight Frederick more."

"I don't know much about Knight Frederick either. I've only heard that he is a very fair, serious person who values knightly honor and mission."

"As for the origin of his nickname, I heard it from other servants. You know, servants always gossip about the famous deeds of these knights when they are together."

Su Li's eyes lit up, "You know the origin of Knight Frederick's nickname? Tell me quickly."

This information might be more reliable than some specific deeds. As the saying goes, there are no wrongly given nicknames.

A nickname can more accurately reflect a person's personality, beliefs, and even ideals and creeds.

Avril said with a smile, "Knight Frederick's nickname is Bloodbeard. Can you guess why he has this nickname?"

"Because he is brave in battle, kills countless enemies, and the blood of the enemies stained his beard red?" Su Li had always thought that he was given the nickname Bloodbeard for this reason.

Avril shook her head with a smile and said, "That's not it. Although Knight Frederick has always claimed this reason and is proud of it, in fact, everyone knows that the real reason is that Knight Frederick likes to intervene in trials, especially when presiding over the Violet Castle court. Any dispute between serfs, as long as Knight Frederick intervenes, someone will be hanged. The crime is the same regardless of its severity. For the knight, as long as the serf commits a crime, there is no need to worry about the severity of the punishment."

"During that time, serfs didn't even dare to seek the judgment of the court when they had disputes, because Knight Frederick believed that the plaintiff was also guilty, and both parties would be directly executed. In just a few months, Frederick executed countless criminals, truly staining his beard red with blood."

"But Knight Frederick is also very fair. Anything that benefits the family and the territory will be praised by him. Serfs who have made contributions will also be released from serfdom and even ennobled. In the entire history of the empire, only three serfs have been ennobled as official nobles, one of whom was promoted by Knight Frederick."

Hearing this, Su Li became even more interested in this Knight Frederick.

This world is a transcendent world. In the human empire, transcendent power is named as Knights, just like cultivators and Qi refiners in other worlds.

Therefore, the level division in the field of cultivation is still very clear, divided into Squire, Knight, Elite Knight, Champion Knight, Chosen Knight, Legendary Knight, Holy Knight. As for what is behind Holy Knight, it is not something that Su Li can know at this stage.

However, due to the extreme worship of knights, other aspects are more chaotic. In terms of baronetcy, it is also named after knights. All nobles with territories can be called Knight Lords. The empire also has a unified name for this, called Kingdom Knight.

So Kingdom Knight is just a noble title, a part of the baronetcy system, completely unrelated to the level of cultivation, and adopts primogeniture. All noble children who fail to inherit the territory, regardless of their level of cultivation, are collectively called Chivalrous Knights.

Kingdom Knights can even die of old age in bed, but there are only more and more Chivalrous Knights with merit, and they must be enfeoffed, which leads to the land of each Kingdom Knight in the empire becoming less and less. This is not the emperor, dukes, and earls engaging in the policy of pushing grace, but there are too many knights to digest.

The territory of most knights' fathers is probably a small village crowded with serfs, the fields for farmers to work on, and his own small castle.

And when a favored son is enfeoffed as a Kingdom Knight, the territory is only a small village with half-full farmers. As for the small castle, it is better to say it is a stone house. At this level, there is really nothing to divide.

In this way, a large number of Chivalrous Knights, no matter how high their level of cultivation, are stuck in the position of Chivalrous Knights, and there is no way to become Kingdom Knights. Therefore, the empire must expand outwards.

There are also Chivalrous Knights who obtain status through their relationship with the powerful and family ties, such as Su Li. But for the entire Chivalrous Knight group, this is still a minority. After all, there are still few families with a lot of money that can support many Kingdom Knights.

In this way, the entire empire is full of trained, high-quality, knight-educated, and nowhere to go, nothing to do Chivalrous Knights. They can't find a Kingdom Knight to be loyal to, and a looting... and a righteous expedition.

Even a job as a stable security guard for a Kingdom Knight has a dozen Chivalrous Knights vying for it.

Most are like armed thugs, no different from bandits running around, except for a horse, not even as good as horse bandits.

In short, this is a country closely related to knights. Perhaps it is a bit chaotic, perhaps a bit desperate, but the honor and status of knights are indeed supreme.

The nobles of the empire can only be knights, starting from Squire, then becoming Kingdom Knights/Pioneer Knights with merit, and then becoming Barons, Earls, Dukes, Electors, and the supreme Emperor.
