Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 22: Recruiting the Knight Commander - Champion Knight!

The news that Friedrich, a knight under Su Li, had tamed a griffon spread quickly throughout the entire Violet Castle, causing an uproar.

It wasn't just because taming a griffon was a popular topic, but more importantly, the strong symbolic meaning it represented! It meant that joining Young Master Su Li's ranks would undoubtedly bring countless opportunities. Many knights' dream待遇 (w待遇 is kept as is because it seems to be a specific term the user wants to keep) might be realized within days of joining Su Li's team!

On the other hand, with Young Master Su Li's potential and rapid growth, he would definitely be able to expand and establish territory after arriving at the Frontier Prince's domain. This was the greatest opportunity for knights who loved war and wanted to achieve merit.

The entire Violet Castle was in an uproar. Whether knights wanted to break through their own ranks, obtain orichalcum rune armor, or acquire more powerful mounts, they saw joining Su Li's team as the most reliable way to achieve it.

When Stern came out of Count Suna's study, bringing his warhorse, armor, and two squires to report to Su Li's residence, there was already a long queue in the hallway outside the room, with at least dozens of people waiting for review to join Young Master Su Li's team.

William was sitting triumphantly behind a table, reviewing one applicant after another.

Armed attendants still want to join Young Master Su Li's team? Turn left and join the queue. Now, only awakened professionals above the rank of squire can directly qualify for an interview. Only official knights can join without examination and get a chance to see Young Master Su Li.

Of course, Su Li didn't know any of this at this time. He didn't pay attention to his subordinates' arrangements at all. He wholeheartedly devoted himself to helping Hildred train, and only fell asleep happily in the second half of the night.

He didn't wake up comfortably until the sun was shining on his butt the next day, and when he stretched out his hand, he was embraced by softness and warmth.

Then, he habitually placed his hand in the position where a man should, and began to browse the prophet information for today.

[Your strong desire to lie flat has been enhanced by the timeline. You can gain the [Prophet of Fate] ability while lying flat.]

[Due to your lying flat state, today's prophet information is updated.]

[1: Moonlight Lake, 300 miles downstream of the Thorns River Valley, will condense moonlight at 12:00 midnight today, briefly creating a water spirit. Defeating the water spirit will drop a water element heart, greatly increasing the probability of water-based bloodline awakening.]

[2: The Misty Forest in the northeast of Violet Town will be affected by the divinity tide wind of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun in 3 days, and the fog will drop to the lowest level. Exploring the Misty Forest will be much less dangerous in the following 5 days.]

[3: A tribe of ogres will wander into the Sky Mountain within the upper reaches of the Thorns River Valley tomorrow and begin to take root in a cave, establishing a camp.]

[4: A rare outbreak of fluorescent mushrooms will occur in the gloomy cave southeast of Violet Town tomorrow night. These mushrooms are essential for making night vision potions.]

[5: ...]

[6: ...]

[9: At the source of the Thorns River Valley, there will be a small earthquake this evening. After the earthquake, a healing hot spring will briefly emerge, and the spring water has a significant effect on treating sword wounds.]

[10: Stein, the Knight Commander of the Third Squadron of the Crimson Night Knights, a high-level elite knight, is troubled by his strength limit. If you can help him break through, you will gain his great favor. And all of this is not difficult. This Knight Commander has just been at ease for too long and needs an opportunity to break through in a fierce battle.]

"Ah~" Hildred cried out in pain, gently biting her cherry lips, turned to look at Su Li, and stared at his eyes in confusion: "Young Master Su Li, what's wrong with you? You seem very nervous all of a sudden."

Only then did Su Li realize that he must have accidentally pinched Hildred just now.

He quickly rubbed it for Hildred, but his excited mood was still difficult to suppress. He couldn't help but press Hildred's white shoulders with both hands, stared into her eyes, and asked excitedly: "Hildred, let me confirm with you again, after a high-level elite knight breaks through, he is... a Champion Knight, right?!"

Hildred didn't understand, but could only patiently reply: "That's right, Young Master Su Li, this is common sense that everyone in the empire knows. But Champion Knights are too rare. Each one is enough to be treated with courtesy by any territory and noble, and serve as a knight commander or military commander. I have never seen any Champion Knight in my life."

Su Li excitedly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed directly: "Then Hildred, you might see one today! Immediately put on your armor and summon everyone to come with me."

As soon as the words fell, Hildred widened her eyes directly. She was actually very smart, otherwise she wouldn't have such high cultivation talent, let alone trust Su Li so unconditionally.

She had chatted with Reve. There were no Champion-level knights in Violet Castle now. If she could see a Champion Knight today, it could only mean that someone had broken through.

Combining Young Master Su Li's words, she covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief. Could it be... a Champion-level knight was about to join Young Master Su Li's team?!

She didn't dare to neglect, and immediately got up to help Su Li wash up. Then, Su Li couldn't wait to push open the door and walked out.

As soon as William saw Su Li, he said triumphantly: "Young Master Su Li, from last night to this morning, 12 squires and 3 official knights have applied to us to join your team and go to the Frontier Prince's territory to develop together. Would you like to review their qualifications and choose a group of followers?"

Su Li replied decisively: "Tell them that it's not that easy to join our team. We need to review their strength and test their sincerity! Today is the time for them to prove their firm will. Whoever can invite an elite knight to help me fight once can join our team."

"Ah?" Sophie, Friedrich, Schwartz and others who were summoned opened their mouths in surprise. Sophie said anxiously: "Young Master Su Li, these people are all awakened professionals, and they are the main force of every army and adventurer. Are we going to reject them?"

Su Li said calmly: "This is the fastest way to screen out a group of elites, and also to screen out a group of people who are not firm in their will and are opportunistic."

On the other hand, those who can summon elite knights must be descendants of famous knight families. They have received more complete and formal education since childhood, and the probability of their breakthrough in the future will be greater, and they will not waste the resources that Su Li invests in them.

Then Su Li showed a confident smile: "Soon, Sophie, you will know how rare the quota to join our team is! Being able to join our team is their greatest opportunity."
