Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

#10 - Strange bounties and romantic places

When Knight Friedrich rode his warhorse, following Su Li as he left the military camp, the knights gathered around the gambling table immediately erupted in uproar.

"I must have been kicked in the head by the hoof-trimmer's manure-covered, stinky boots this morning! What did I just see? Knight Friedrich followed Su Li out?"

"God above! I have a bad feeling about this! Young Master Su Li threw down ten gold coins; does he know something we don't?"

"Bullshit! Impossible! How could a good-for-nothing like him attract an elite knight! Would a lion running on the grasslands let a stray dog ride on its head?"

"Exactly! Haven't you heard? A woman protected by a lion would never look at a stray dog!"

"But Knight Friedrich isn't a woman. And is it really okay to describe Young Master Su Li like that? What does that make Count Suna?"

Silence immediately fell around the gambling table. Everyone shrank back, avoiding the topic. No one wanted to get involved in something like that, so they wisely kept quiet.

However, a few observant individuals and gambling addicts gritted their teeth and quietly placed two gold coins on the column with the highest odds.

Su Li, of course, had no idea what was happening behind him. After leaving the camp, he took Knight Friedrich directly to the notice board in the small town below.

This notice board was an important information center for the town. Not only would the rulers post government announcements here through their administrators, but the Thieves' Guild's important recruitment and bounty information, as well as the Merchant Guild's important caravan routes, would also be announced here. After all, this world was very unstable. Outside the towns were numerous looters, bandits, and Orc and Beastman warbands. Therefore, when caravans conducted business, they would bring a large number of travelers to form a massive group, taking care of each other and responding to threats in the wild.

Today, a large number of people had gathered in front of the notice board because a bounty from the Belaide Merchant Guild was posted on it.

【Just this morning, a group of despicable thieves stole a batch of valuable pottery from the Merchant Guild. Such a large amount of goods could not have been transferred out of town silently. If anyone can report the location of these stolen goods, please contact Knight Felix at the Golden Wheat Tavern in Kumu Village. The Merchant Guild will reward the informant with 30 gold coins.】

This generous reward caused everyone to talk about it. What kind of valuable pottery could be worth 30 gold coins? There must be some hidden secret.

30 gold coins was not a small amount. It was enough for an ordinary family to live a worry-free life for more than ten years.

But this was not something Su Li had the leisure to pay attention to at the moment. He took out 3 silver coins in front of the crowd and said loudly, "Who can tell me the location of the town's freeman, Gergil? These three silver coins will be his reward."

The town's population was not large, and Gergil had a beautiful wife, so many people knew him.

Immediately, a leatherworker wearing rain boots stood up and said, "I just saw him sneaking around near the threshing ground on the east side of town, the one with the windmill."

"Haha, old leatherworker, you're talking about a long time ago! I just saw him walking from there towards here. He should be in the crowd."

So coincidental? The crowd immediately burst into an uproar, and everyone looked around.

Three silver coins were already several days' income for ordinary artisans and farmers.

"Wow, esteemed knight, I've caught Gergil!" In less than three seconds, a stout baker wearing an apron walked out of the crowd. His right hand was tightly gripping a dark and sturdy man.

Su Li glanced at Leif, who immediately rushed forward and landed a heavy punch on Gergil's abdomen. The seemingly strong and aggressive man instantly bent over in pain, like a shrimp that had been hit, and squatted on the ground, his face twisted and unable to say a word.

Knights, even apprentice knights, had an insurmountable gap between them and the commoners. The buxom Leif could knock down a strong adult man with just one punch. Therefore, the serfs in this world could not resist the rule of the knight lords at all.

After Leif grabbed Gergil by the back of his collar and pulled him out of the crowd, Su Li smiled and threw the three silver coins to the baker. "Here's your reward."

The baker hurriedly stretched out his hands, took the three silver coins shimmering with silver light, and gently bit them with his mouth to confirm their authenticity and value. Instantly, a bright smile bloomed on his face, so wide that he couldn't close his mouth. "Thank you, knight! Praise your generosity! May the gods bless you with longevity."

"What a lucky fellow," a voice of jealousy and envy came from the crowd nearby.

Su Li nodded slightly and left the densely populated area with several knights. With a combination of two elite knights and three apprentice knights, who would dare to question the abduction of a freeman?

Once they reached outside the town, where there were no more bystanders, Su Li ordered Leif to tie Gergil to the trunk of a large tree in the wilderness.

Friedrich was full of questions. "What does a freeman have to do with our trip? Are you wasting my time here?"

Su Li calmly pointed to Gergil tied to the tree and said, "Why don't you ask him where your son, Henry, is? Why would he be near the notice board?"

Friedrich frowned, raised his whip, and lashed it heavily on Gergil. The elite knight's attack immediately tore his skin. "Speak! What are you up to? Where is Henry?"

Gergil screamed instantly, as if someone had stepped on a stray dog's tail. He didn't dare to hide anything and quickly said, "Henry, Henry is in the windmill at the threshing ground."

Friedrich's brow furrowed even tighter. He was an experienced man and understood the romance of nobles and knights.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

The windmill and mill were a place of work for farmers, but for nobles, it was a romantic place. It was said that many knights liked to be in the windmill or mill with their lovers or noble ladies, doing this and that.

As a knight, Henry should have been training in the training camp, but he appeared in the mill. This matter alone was embarrassing enough!

Su Li calmly looked at Schwartz and said, "Then could you please, Knight Schwartz, go to the mill and bring back the two people inside?"

Two people? Hearing Su Li's words, Friedrich was already furious.

Schwartz gladly bowed and replied, "Of course. I am happy to be of service, Young Master Su Li."

Knight Schwartz, as an elite knight, moved quickly. In just over ten minutes, he returned on his warhorse, carrying a disheveled man and woman in each hand, and threw them directly in front of Knight Friedrich.

Before Su Li could speak, Knight Friedrich directly raised his whip and lashed out. The two immediately had their skin torn and rolled on the ground, wailing.

Su Li glanced at them a few times and couldn't help but click his tongue. What a pity, such a beautiful milf had her face ruined directly.

Although Henry was a scoundrel, he had good taste. This freewoman, Alisa, had a very charming appearance, and her breasts, having borne children, were even more impressive in size, and her skin was very fair, with a certain charm.
